Chapter 34 (Two in One)



Xia Tong didn't know what had happened in the three-person team before he came. He happily said hello to Hua Feihua before leaving.

The three of them teamed up again, and Xia Tong said, "I've never played 3v3 before! Can I really do this?"

Zhou Yanjun calmly said, "Of course we can. Two melee fighters and one ranged fighter. A gold medal configuration! Invincible in every battle!"

Bo Yu: “…Yeah.”

Xia Tong had never seen a 3v3 match before, and she still had a basic trust in Zhou Yanjun, without any doubts, and then the three of them lined up.

After queuing in, Xia Tong realized the true cruelty of the so-called arena.

He glanced at the health bar and saw that everyone in the arena had a single digit more health than him. He couldn't help but wonder, "Fatty, Xiaobo, I seem to be the most vulnerable to death in the arena!"

Zhou Yanjun: "Be more confident and remove the word 'as if'."

Xia Tong's eyes widened: "Won't they all come after me and beat me up?"

Bo Yu: "...They will definitely chase you and beat you up."

Xia Tong: “???”

Thanks to the ranks of Zhou Yanjun and Bo Yu, all the players except Xia Tong were serious PVP masters. The three opponents took a look at the configuration of their melee team and immediately formulated a precise strategic plan - to replace Xia Tong as a healer.

So before Xia Tong could come to her senses, the countdown was over, the camps of both sides were wide open, and the three people on the opposite side rushed over like mad dogs.

"Xia Xiaotong, hold on for two more seconds! As long as you can survive, you will be the most awesome wizard!" Zhou Yanjun, that heartless bastard, had already rushed out with the divine beast, but his shouting was still echoing in the same place. Xia Tong was dumbfounded, because he saw that the two knights on the opposite side had also rushed to him at lightning speed.

"Ah ...

The next second, Xia Xiaotong died suddenly.

The elf on the opposite side still had two tricks up its sleeve, and its movements were quite sharp. Bo Yu and Zhou Yanjun chased and fought it for a long time before killing it. But when they turned around and fought 2V2 with the two DPS on the opposite side who were in full health, the situation was not so optimistic.

In the end, all three of them were killed by the iron hoofs of the opposing knights. They lay side by side looking at the sky until the system teleported them out.

This loss was expected. As soon as they left the arena map, Xia Tong angrily grabbed Zhou Yanjun's thick arms and shook them desperately: "Fatty, you lied to me, you lied to me, you lied to me!"

"I'm just lying to you!" Zhou Yanjun said with a grin.

"You lied to me and said we were a gold medal team!" Even if Xia Tong was dumb, after this round she understood what the arena was all about: "You should have brought a nurse! A nurse can at least help us hold on for a little longer. What's that called? Continue... Continue——"

Bo Yu: "Continue."

Xia Tong: "Yes! Battery life!"

"What's the point of bringing a nanny? If you're bad, you're bound to lose. The difference between losing in three minutes and losing in thirty is nothing." Zhou Yanjun's twisted logic was endless: "If you're really sharp, just do what we did. At the beginning, dodge the opponent's burst skills, then cooperate with the two of us to instantly kill the opponent's nanny. Then it's three against two, isn't it a sure win!"

Xia Tong: “?!”

The young wizard actually pinched his chin and began to seriously consider the feasibility of this plan: "What you said seems to make some sense..."

Bo Yu held his forehead and couldn't bear to listen any longer.

"Hey." He nudged Zhou Yanjun's waist with his elbow and whispered, "You're fooling around too much, aren't you? He hasn't even refined this equipment. It doesn't have any defense or health bonuses. How could he possibly dodge the opponent's burst skills? A knight's opening roar would kill him instantly."

"So this is the perfect time to practice awareness and positioning! We'll have plenty of time to refine equipment after the Alliance starts its preparatory activities. Think about it, if he can survive in the arena even with this fragile mode, then wouldn't he become a panacea in the arena after refining his equipment?" Zhou Yanjun pulled Bo Yu away and said in a low voice, "Xiao Bo, there are less than two months left before the league. If we don't force things, we'll definitely lose if we go in and outplay him four to one."

"but--"

"I think Xia Tong is different from the average Alpha player," Zhou Yanjun said. "Although I can't pinpoint exactly what's different, our usual conventional training methods are probably inappropriate."

Bo Yu still hesitated to speak.

"It's nothing more than getting beaten and losing streaks. Who hasn't gone through that?" Zhou Yanjun said, "Only by taking the most beatings can you become the strongest player!"

Before he could finish his words, his clothes were pulled twice at the back of his waist.

"Fatty." Xia Tong bit her finger and came over and said, "Tell me about the knight's skills, otherwise I don't know how to dodge."

"Okay, no problem." Zhou Yanjun said with a smile. Seeing that Bo Yu's face was still full of worry, he couldn't help but say casually: "Look at how positive Xia Tong's attitude is. Don't hinder her progress!"

Bo Yu looked helplessly at the eager little wizard and had to give up.

"Generally, the knight will start with Beast Roar. Beast Roar is a skill with a reversed reload bar and needs to be continuously released. The reason you were knocked away last time was because of Beast Roar. Beast Roar itself carries physical damage and a stun debuff, so we usually start with this output chain and cooperate with the Axe Warrior's control skills to complete the kill..."

Zhou Yanjun cleared his throat and began to give a small lecture. Although he usually looked a bit unserious and talked nonsense all the time, he was still very eloquent when talking about his original profession, and he told Xia Tong in detail the effects of each skill.

Xia Tong listened carefully and opened the skill interface to compare.

His mind raced, and he felt as Zhou Yanjun described it, as if he were standing in a mountain shrouded in clouds and mist. The enchanting mist was now gradually dissipating, and he saw a path out of the mountain.

"That's the common strategy. In short, if there's control, use it to break it, if there's burst, use damage reduction. You have to learn to predict the opponent's movements." Zhou Yanjun said, "I said all that in one breath. Do you understand?"

"Hmm..." Xia Tong nodded thoughtfully: "Then do you think it's possible for me to dodge these skills?"

"How is that possible? You're overthinking it," Zhou Yanjun said. "The Light Beast Roar skill has such a huge range! Unless you jump out of the arena map, you can only put on a damage reduction shield in advance to withstand it. An Omega like you, if you get blown up by the roar and fall when you land, you'll suffer secondary damage."

"I understand." Xia Tong nodded: "You line up, we'll try again."

The theory is very good, but who knows how bleak the reality will be. Bo Yu didn't say it out loud, but sighed softly, and silently prepared himself to continue to lose in the next round.

The three-man kitchen knife team quickly lined up.

When the opponent's team list is loaded, a column of letters KUQ_KKong comes into view.

The three members of the team were shocked at the same time, and retreated tactically in unison.

Xia Tong: "Gorilla!!"

Zhou Yanjun: "What the hell is wrong with me?"

Bo Yu: "...It's all over."

While getting ready, Zhou Yanjun was so angry that he jumped up and down: "Fuck! How could I run into this son of a bitch! Did I not check the almanac or wash my face before queuing up? How the hell did he stick his head into shit——"

Bo Yu: "Cough cough cough cough!!!" He winked frantically at Xia Tong beside him, signaling Zhou Yanjun to pay attention to the impact. Zhou Yanjun held his breath for a long time, took several deep breaths, and then with great difficulty condensed the insults at the end into a few words: "Damn it!"

Xia Tong's expression wasn't looking good either. His eyebrows knitted together as he asked in confusion, "I just started playing in the arena, why did I run into this gorilla?"

His words also stunned Bo Yu and Zhou Yanjun.

In order to ensure a balanced gaming experience for players, the system will use algorithms to match players with opponents of similar levels. This not only prevents some expert players from feeling bored by bullying new players in the arena, but also prevents some novice players from being beaten by the big guys as soon as they step into the arena and developing a fear of PVP.

Professional players should rank from 9th rank upwards, competing in the national server's ranked rankings. Bo Yu and Zhou Yanjun's ranks were barely reaching the highest level for ordinary players, while Xia Tong was still 0th rank. Rounding up, they shouldn't have been ranked with King Kong anyway.

"Damn... What kind of shitty record did he have to have to meet us?" Zhou Yanjun sneered, grinding his back teeth.

"You don't have to criticize him like that..." Bo Yu said faintly, "We also feel offended."

"I'm so unhappy..." Xia Tong whispered, "The thought of being beaten by him——"

"Don't be afraid, Xiaobo, let's not get a wet nurse this time, let's protect the dwarf." Zhou Yanjun said.

Bo Yu: “Yeah.”

Xia Tong stomped her feet upon hearing this. "Why are you protecting me? I'm not a nanny, so it's useless even if you protect me! Just beat him up the way you want. It's more infuriating to lose to him than to get beaten up!"

Zhou Yanjun: "So you admit that you are a dwarf."

Xia Tong: “.........”

The fat knight who asked for a beating let out a cowardly "Aha" and rushed out with Bo Yu at lightning speed. At the same time, the three people on the opposite side also rushed towards them aggressively.

The professional esports community was actually quite small. King Kong had presumptuously urged Sabretooth and his group to go grab a monster that day. Not only did they fail to grab the monster, but Sabretooth also ended up getting wiped out. The outcome was truly disgraceful, and word quickly spread throughout their small community. Sabretooth was a popular figure, so the incident wasn't a major loss for them beyond some frustration. King Kong, however, was different. Not only was he despised by the Sabretooth Club, but many were also pointing fingers at him. KUQ's Zhao Xin had just helped him deal with the scandal of molesting an NPC and was still furious, and now another person showed up, furiously deducting King Kong's money and publicly criticizing him throughout the club. King Kong was now utterly humiliated. No one on the team wanted to talk to him, let alone play with him in daily queues.

Of course, King Kong didn't think he did anything wrong. He cursed Sabretooth in his heart, calling them a bunch of losers. It was bad enough that he was not as skilled as them and embarrassed himself, but he also shifted the blame onto himself. At the same time, he felt that his teammates in KUQ were making a big deal out of nothing and were not united internally.

"You're all just jealous of me," King Kong thought. "If you guys don't team up with me, I'll just go solo. I can climb the ranks faster than you guys. Let's see how I slap you in the face."

So he went solo.

I don't know if it was because he was too excited that affected his operation, but his record went up and down like a roller coaster, and he fell out of the national ranking. King Kong was furious, thinking that the system had arranged stupid teammates for him, so he simply called two high-level wild teammates outside to team up with him.

He originally thought that playing in a team would save his record, but who knew that playing in a team would be even worse than playing alone. The three of them lacked coordination, and not only did they each have their own playing style, they all claimed to be masters and were unwilling to admit defeat to each other. After several mistakes, King Kong blamed others with foul language, which directly angered the team's nurse. The male elf angrily sneered and threatened to record their battle process and post it on the forum to let the players of Wangling see who was the worst.

It was confirmed that King Kong had made several mistakes, and even he couldn't deny it by pretending to be blind. He was really worried that the team's nanny would release the screen recording, so he could only give in temporarily. However, the male elf impatiently wanted to quit the team and find new teammates. King Kong was scared, so he bit the bullet and begged the other party to play a few more games with him.

"I will definitely win the next one!" he said urgently.

"Are you trying to say that those dozen moves you made just now were all acting?" the other party sneered.

"Come on, he's not just acting, he's really bad." said another teammate.

King Kong was furious. He was eager to win back a game, fearing that he would have no chance again if these two teammates really quit the team. So he simply clicked on the arena queue at the speed of light before these two people quit the team.

Once you're in line, you can't click quit, otherwise there will be a penalty debuff. His teammates didn't expect him to be so quick, so they could only enter the arena again cursing.

After entering, King Kong felt that his luck had changed because he saw three outputs but no nurse.

When he saw the IDs of the people opposite him, he shouted excitedly.

"We can win this round!! We're definitely going to win this round!" He roared "YESYES".

"You're talking nonsense. The other team is a team of kitchen knives." The grumpy nurse teammate was speechless: "If you can't kill this bastard, just get another dog to fight!"

King Kong's cheeks twitched a few times, but he endured it for the time being. At this point, the external conflicts were clearly greater than the internal ones. He gritted his teeth and commanded another knight in the team, "Did you see that Xia Xiaotong? He's a newbie who just maxed out his level not long ago. He doesn't know anything. He's probably here to get points. Kill him right away!"

On the other side, Xia Tong had already calculated at the speed of light in his mind.

According to the speed at which Zhou Yanjun and Bo Yu kill the nurse, he can last for thirty seconds when the two opponents are firing at full power, and he will basically win the game. If the two opponents do not focus on him, then he will have enough energy to help Bo Yu and Zhou Yanjun kill the nurse. It will be more efficient for three people to kill a nurse in one second!

The worst case scenario is these thirty seconds...!

A knight and a hunter.

Just as Zhou Yanjun said, the knight on the opposite side started the fight with a beast roar, and the wind was so strong that even the ground beneath their feet was shaking!

"Xia Tong! Use damage reduction!" Zhou Yanjun roared.

Xia Tong's eyes flashed, and he saw a red crosshair in mid-air. In a split second, he abandoned the protective, soul-soothing chant and instead leaped into the air, riding the gusts of the beast's roar.

With a "bang", the bullet deviated.

"Fuck!" King Kong on the other side cursed, and said angrily: "I just aimed at you and blew him away! Are you an idiot?"

"It's none of my business if you can't aim well, you noob!" the knight sneered.

"You know he's a newbie, but you still follow him! I'm going to die!! Save me--" The opponent's elf's health is in danger under the close fire of Bo Yu and Zhou Yanjun!

The knight hesitated for a moment, and finally gave up cooperating with King Kong. He turned around and rushed towards Zhou Yanjun, trying to interfere with their joint attack. Xia Tong certainly would not give his opponent this opportunity. He raised his staff high, and a series of damaging spells flew towards the knight like lightning.

"Fuck!" The knight didn't expect Xia Tong's skill density to be so high. He couldn't dodge in time, and Xia Tong's special effect weapon took effect, directly cutting off half of his blood. It was too late for him to turn around and fire at Xia Tong. Their elf had already died suddenly at the hands of Bo Yu and Zhou Yanjun.

"You little bastard, go to hell!" King Kong took advantage of Xia Tong's skill and finally hit him with a shot. Xia Tong was a fragile person, and one shot was enough to leave him with little health. In addition, he was bumped when he landed, and his health bar was almost empty. At this time, the situation on the field became two DPS against two DPS.

"Ha! Fire!" King Kong killed Xia Tong, feeling refreshed, and said viciously: "Fuck, I finally get the chance to fuck you head-on!"

"You want to fuck me? You're not worthy!" Zhou Yanjun sneered, "Why don't you just take a piss and look in the mirror! See if you've got that diamond in your arse!"

"What the hell can you do besides talk big!" King Kong sneered, "You packed up and left because you couldn't make it at KUQ! Are you happy living in a graveyard like Polaris? You loser! You're just a piece of shit!"

"Fuck your mother!" Zhou Yanjun was about to explode, roaring at the top of his lungs: "I'm going to smash your head before the league!"

The two sides suddenly clashed, and King Kong retreated with ease. The hunter had a concealment BUFF after leaving the battle, and his body would automatically become translucent when close to the scenery. At the same time, his running speed would increase to help him find a crouching spot. He ignored his teammates' shouting and directly sold out his knight teammate.

"Bang" he sniped Zhou Yanjun in the dark. Seeing the blood splattering on the fat knight's body, he felt secretly happy and fired another shot.

"Fuck! That bastard doesn't care about his teammates!" Zhou Yanjun was shot several times in a row, his health was in danger. He was forced to give up his damage reduction skills and shouted, "If I die, no one will use Tracking. If you fight him, he will definitely kill you!"

"I'll block the bullet for you!" Bo Yu roared.

"Haha! You all must die! I'll kill you all!!" King Kong laughed in the dark, but he didn't notice that a figure suddenly appeared from somewhere behind him.

Xia Tong, with a double-digit health bar, leaned back and swung his staff fiercely towards the end of the laser aiming line.

"I told you to say Fatty is bad... I told you to say Polaris is bad! Go to hell!!"

With a resounding "boom," the enchanting Soul-Splitting Mantra beams struck King Kong's head with pinpoint accuracy. King Kong hadn't expected his position to be discovered, let alone the fact that Xia Tong wasn't dead and her ID was still visible. Hunters had no advantage in close-range PKs. He tried to find a branch to hold onto, but in an instant, Xia Tong was already waving her staff frantically, the intersecting curse beams leaving him no chance to breathe. Xia Tong then unleashed an infinite Soul-Reversing combo, shattering the entire treetop! King Kong fell to the ground amidst the broken branches and leaves, landing squarely at Zhou Yanjun's feet.

He raised his head stiffly and saw Zhou Yanjun grinning with a "friendly" smile.

When Lin Mingfei was charging her mobile phone in the house, she opened the live broadcast room of a famous anchor named "Father of Dorayaki" and saw this national server elf player lying on the arena map and angrily scolding his teammates.

"I'm charging in the opposite direction with KKONG, that colorful pen. Now I can barely even keep my 9th rank! Yes, that King Kong from KUQ! You read that right, the other team is a fucking team of noobs. Polaris's two melee damage dealers are leading a newly maxed-out alt. Shout at each other, KKONG just got knocked down by that alt. We're going to lose! With this level of awareness and reaction, he still wants to play professionally? KUQ is really screwed!"

During the live broadcast, a clear shouting sound could be heard from a distance.

"Go to hell—"

Lin Mingfei leaned back tactically, her eyes slightly narrowed.

He playfully switched out of the live broadcast interface and sent a message to Xia Tong in his friend list.

Polaris_Zero: [You were the one who let King Kong die? ]

After sending the message, he didn't care, unplugged his fully charged phone, and went downstairs.

Halfway through the journey, his cell phone vibrated.

Xia Xiaotong: […It’s me, QAQ.]

Xia Xiaotong: [Brother, I didn’t mean to curse you QAQ...]

Xia Xiaotong: [I wasn't like that before, believe me. I just couldn't control myself.]

Xia Xiaotong: [Am I being naughty? QAQ]

Lin Mingfei raised the corners of her lips slightly.

He was just curious and had no intention of blaming the little Omega. Why did he look like he was facing a great enemy?

He didn't think there was anything wrong with Xia Tong being confrontational. On the contrary, this kind of Xia Tong was more down-to-earth, cheerful and cute.

Polaris_Zero: [It's okay, I'm fine. I don't blame you.]

Polaris_Zero: [It must be Zhou Yanjun who led you astray. Blame him.]

The author has something to say: Zhou Yanjun: ??? What's up?
