Shi Ya didn't deny it, which meant she admitted it.
Xia Tong felt that she had lost all trust in this world, and she squatted on the ground, drawing circles with great resentment.
The other four people did not dare to provoke him immediately, giving him enough time to prepare himself mentally so as to face the cruel reality of the future.
Fortunately, Xia Tong has always been good at regulating his emotions. After being depressed for a while, he cheered up again. "Zero!" He was still a little worried about the uncertain future, so he put on a stern face and said in a fierce voice.
"Hey, I'm here." Lin Mingfei came as soon as she was called, moved closer to him with kind words, and squatted down beside him.
The two people squatted at the same level, as if they were sharing their misery.
"Um..." Xia Tong bent her fingers, slowly picking at the hem of his robe, and said in confusion, "Please tell me the basic strategy. I'm afraid if I panic once I get up there, my mind will become a mess. If no one teaches me what to do, I might just stand there like an idiot, not knowing what to do."
"It's a basic routine." Lin Mingfei pinched her chin and thought for a moment. "Let me analyze it this way. After you go on stage, you may encounter the following two situations."
"Hmm? Which two situations?"
"The first is someone's focusing on you. The second is no one's focusing on you." Lin Mingfei's voice was low and restrained, his tone slow and measured, like a high-quality bass guitar, gently plucking the vibrating strings, releasing a soothing power. "If it's the first case, then your first priority is to save your life. Avoid the opponent's attacks as much as possible, and then find the opportunity to use skills to help us reduce the health line. But it's important to note that even when you use skills, you can't use your key skills. You must save your burst combo. In this situation, most of the opponent's attention is focused on you, and they may let down their guard, and lose key damage reduction or control release skills under the attack of the three of us. At this time, they will have a vacuum period, and as long as we seize this vacuum period, we will call for you to switch targets. This opportunity is extremely valuable and can often determine the outcome of a game, but it is also fleeting, so if you don't save your burst, you won't be able to seize it."
"I understand." Xia Tong nodded thoughtfully: "What if no one focuses on me?"
"That's much easier." Lin Mingfei chuckled. "If no one is focusing on you, you can just deal as much damage as you want. If you fight as hard as you can, the opponent will probably be defeated soon!"
Xia Tong immediately laughed: "Yes, you are right! That's great!"
Lin Mingfei's next words brought him back to reality: "But I guess the probability of encountering that situation is relatively small."
Xia Tong: “…”
"That's it in a nutshell. Are you ready, contestant blink?" Lin Mingfei held her chin with both hands and smiled at Xia Tong like a bright sunflower.
Xia Tong looked at the alpha's handsome face.
He had always thought that Lin Mingfei was a mature alpha who was much older than him. He was very comprehensive and complete in both doing things and thinking about problems. This gave him a lot of security and also made him always look up to her. In addition to admiration, he also had respect for her. It was not an exaggeration to say that she was like a father and a brother.
But at this moment, when Lin Mingfei smiled, he showed a row of neat white teeth. That smile made him less distant. His handsomeness was mixed with vigor and vitality, and he looked like a big boy exuding the scent of sunshine.
Xia Tong's heart moved slightly, as if being brushed by a feather, itchy and numb. He couldn't help but lick the corner of his lips, then pursed them tightly.
"I'm ready." He said firmly, word by word, "I will work hard to become stronger."
"Get up." Lin Mingfei stood up and pulled him.
The two returned to the team, and Zhou Yanjun grinned, "Hey, little dwarf, I can't help but recall that day when you, Xiaobo, and I played against the Cleaver Team in the 3v3 arena for the first time. Wow, it was so thrilling, so unforgettable!"
Bo Yu said expressionlessly beside him, "It's unforgettable, right? As soon as I walked in, I was immediately queued up with Kuq's King Kong."
Zhou Yanjun choked for a moment, then argued in a hoarse voice: "...We won that round, didn't we?"
Shi Ya glanced at him: "Right?"
Lin Mingfei: "What about the unforgettable thing you said?"
Zhou Yanjun glared, "We won! We won! We won without any pressure! It was so easy!"
Bo Yu: "Your memory may really be distorted..."
Xia Tong: "My head almost flew off that game!! QAQ!" After a pause, the young wizard's tone changed, and he asked curiously, "Huh? Do you think we'll run into a professional team the same way we did last time?"
Zhou Yanjun: “…”
Bo Yu: “…”
Lin Mingfei: “…”
Shi Ya: “…”
The four teammates' eyes were all solemn and in unison.
A minute later, they queued up in a 5v5 arena, and then they could clearly see the IDs of the five opponents on the opposite side.
rainbow_lucas
rainbow_jazz
rainbow_strawberry
rainbow_pipa
rainbow_bear yellow
On this side, the Polaris preparation camp seemed unusually silent, as silent as someone's funeral.
After a long while, Bo Yu finally uttered a sentence: "It's the real Rainbow Team..."
Shi Ya expressionless: "It's not easy for you to queue up and get five identical high-quality imitations for the same price. You can even go buy a lottery ticket."
Zhou Yanjun glanced down at the dumbstruck little wizard beside him, his expression indescribable: "Shorty, I'm afraid your mouth must have been blessed..."
Xia Tong, with two aggrieved eyes, slowly raised her hands and covered her mouth with them: "Woo woo..."
"But luckily, there's no one in our livestream room." Zhou Yanjun consoled himself, "Losing isn't a big deal. God knows, the earth knows, you know, and I know."
"Are you stupid?" Lin Mingfei looked at him with eyes that cared for the mentally retarded and said, "There's no one in our live broadcast room. Is there no one in the Rainbow Team's live broadcast room either?"
Zhou Yanjun: “…”
It was exactly the same as what Lin Mingfei described. At this moment, in the live broadcast room of the five members of the Rainbow Team, the total number of people watching the live broadcast online was close to five digits. The barrage area was extremely lively, with fans and haters fighting each other, and the scene was unprecedented.
Lucas is the wizard player of the Rainbow Team and also the team leader. He was the one who suggested temporarily giving up the dungeon exploration. He had been chased and scolded for the whole morning and was so angry that he had no place to vent. Until he led the team into the arena and saw the game IDs of the five people on the opposite side clearly, his gloomy mood was immediately swept away.
"Brothers, look who's on the other side." He was like a drowning man who spotted a piece of driftwood, desperately trying to save himself by trampling the opponent. He deliberately spoke loudly for the audience in the live broadcast room: "I just don't understand. Although we Rainbow have some shortcomings, we have at least worked hard to open up the new land. We have a clear conscience. Here's a slacker team that sneaked into the league and hasn't even set foot on the new secret map. As professional fans, why don't you criticize them instead of targeting us?"
"Brother, stop talking." Their Hunter teammate Jazz said coldly, "We're a legitimate club. No matter how our fans misunderstand us, we know deep down that we're different from some of those old-school, slacker teams. We have ambition and principles, so this round we must show everyone the difference between us and the real slacker teams."
Perhaps it was because the two of them played the victim just right in their two paragraphs, or perhaps it was because Team P's recent performance was indeed too outrageous. With the comparison between the two sides, the quarrels and insults in the Rainbow Team's live broadcast room actually eased a little.
[That's true. After all, Rainbow did open up the wasteland with a down-to-earth attitude.]
[Every club has varying levels of resources and strength, so it's unnecessary to hold Rainbow to the same standards as Sabretooth.]
[To be honest, although they lack strength, they still have the spirit of esports. That alone is worth encouraging, right? Why are you still criticizing them?]
[That's right, the ones who really deserve the blame are those idiot teams! ]
Hasn't their team been the pvx for a whole week? I doubt they even know which leg to take the first step in the arena.
[I heard they even finished clearing the Scorpion Eye Trench on the 39th floor!]
Is there anything to be happy about? Do they even expect us to praise them for this kind of 'achievement'? How shameful!
[A team that only knows how to stir up controversy and rest on its laurels is truly a disgrace to the spirit of esports.]
No matter how bad rainbow is, they're still at last year's semifinal level. They can't be compared to those ragtag teams that couldn't even make the qualifiers. I think they're going to teach them a lesson in this round.
[Ah, those slacker teams might have to pay the price for this round! I'm glad to see that.]
......
Lucas glanced at the buzz in the comment section and secretly rejoiced. He wondered what kind of luck this was. He'd just arrived at the arena with his teammates and now they were facing the rumored withered team, Polaris. If they could crush them now, perhaps they could recover some of the reputation lost from their failed raid, and boost morale. Polaris, a veteran team, was nothing more than a few minor controversies, and they wouldn't be meeting them in a real tournament again, so a little sacrificing them wouldn't hurt.
However, when he randomly selected an attribute of the opponent and clicked on it, it was like being hit by a blow.
"Why is his blood volume so thick?"
"Did Island specifically choose 'Demon Bloodline'?" their axe warrior Strawberry said, "Demon Bloodline" is a talent point for the axe warrior that can increase the maximum health.
"It's not Island, I'm looking at Zero!" Lucas said, "His health is over 60,000!"
"Over 60,000? How is that possible? I only have 61,000 HP!" Pipa, their hunter teammate, said, "How could Zero, a hunter, possibly..."
"They're all wearing 1500-grade equipment, and their overall gear score is over 1000 higher than ours. How could their health not be higher?!" shouted nurse Xiong Huang. However, before they could come up with a plan, the countdown ended.
"Who's going to be killed in one second, Luca!!" Strawberry was a little slow and turned around to shout in the team voice chat.
Lucas hesitated for two seconds, many thoughts flashing through his mind.
Despite widespread scoffing at Polaris' victory over a shabby team that couldn't even make it past the qualifiers, some details from the livestream still surfaced, sparking much discussion. Among them was the remarkable performance of the Omega wizard named "Blink." Despite being relentlessly pursued by a powerful Russian, Blink not only survived, but also managed to pull off a "Reverse Soul Infinite Combo" to reduce the opponent's health, then teamed up with the sniper god Zero to secure the kill. It seemed Blink was just as dangerous as Zero, and he must not be spared.
"Lizi and I will press Blink, and press hard." Lucas ordered concisely: "The rest of you, fuck the nanny, and listen to my orders to switch fire when the time comes."
"Okay!" Several people shouted in unison.
This arena map is the ruins of an abandoned palace, with carved and hollowed-out supporting pillars everywhere, some broken and some crooked. The majestic whiteness divides the huge space into multiple irregularly shaped areas.
I don’t know if it was influenced by the Rainbow Team’s live broadcast room, but people gradually gathered in the deserted Polaris live broadcast room.
[What? What? Why are these five guys quietly coming to the arena again? ?]
[I'm impressed! ! Now that you've returned to the right path, can you please give your fans some support?!]
They really don't treat their fans as human beings. They don't care. They don't pay attention! They only care about themselves!
[They're not PvX anymore??? They finally remembered they're PvP???]
[Don't you know? They've already cleared the Scorpion Eye Trench. Haha, what a qualified group of pvx!]
So they really came to the arena wearing those diving suits...?
[The diving suit is well prepared upstairs. ]
[Good guy, I just called him good guy. ]
[Wow, wearing that outfit and still matching up with rainbow... I'm afraid I'm going to be publicly executed.]
I'm a little scared to watch this, what should I do? I'm actually still a long-time Polaris fan, I have feelings for it.
......
Lin Mingfei glanced around quickly and said quickly, "Xiao Bo, you go keep an eye on Lucas. Fire and I will suppress Xiong Huang together. We'll see whoever uses their life-saving skills first will be killed instantly. I guess they have the same idea as us."
Bo Yu and Zhou Yanjun responded in unison: "Understood!"
Lin Mingfei turned her head again and whispered, "Xia Tong, you should come out later and follow the timer. Try to use the pillars to block the view. Delay as long as you can and don't let yourself die suddenly."
"Okay." Xia Tong nodded nervously.
At that time, the countdown ended and both sides rushed towards the middle area of the map.
Strawberry followed Lucas's instructions and started searching for Xia Tong intently. However, in his field of vision, there was only the equally strong axe warrior Bo Yu and the fat knight Zhou Yanjun, who had a strong presence and was roaring with his mount.
In the arena, in the eyes of all opponents, these two guys were like stones in the toilet, smelly and hard, impossible to kill and impossible to get rid of, and the most annoying thing. It would be stupid to waste your special skills on these two guys. Strawberry subconsciously wanted to avoid these two guys and tried his best to search for Xia Tong's shadow, but found that the little wizard had just taken two steps out of the preparation camp and fell far behind the team.
"Damn, he's such a good hider!" Strawberry cursed. "Then I'll fuck Nanny—damn! Why is Nanny so far away?"
While he was hesitating, Xiong Huang had been pinned to the ground by the fat knight and accurately hit by two bullets from the hunter. His health was in danger. "Stop talking nonsense!!! Save me! ah ah ah!! God Z is so arrogant!! He is standing right there and pointing at me!! So close!! So close!!" Xiong Huang screamed.
"He wants to attract fire to protect his teammates." Lucas saw through Lin Mingfei's intention, dodged the axe warrior's attack with a side flip, turned around and attacked the nearby hunter, and roared: "Then get him!"
Lin Mingfei's reaction was extremely fast, as if he had eyes on the side. He leaned forward slightly, and the red soul-splitting curse hit his feet, leaving a charred mark. However, he remained calm and even looked at Lucas deeply.
That look was full of sarcasm.
Lucas was furious.
Next, Lin Mingfei became a living target. The firepower of the four members of the Rainbow Team was fully attracted by him. No matter how graceful his movement was, he could not avoid such a dense attack density. He was controlled and tied up by Lucas, and was thrown hard onto the criss-crossing pillars. He was hit hard by Strawberry, and his blood line finally began to drop.
From beginning to end, Shi Ya did not give Lin Mingfei a single sip of healing. Seeing that the hunter's health was low, Lucas yelled, "Finish the kill! Kill him!!" Everyone rushed towards Lin Mingfei regardless of everything.
At that moment, the hunter suddenly disappeared from where he was.
Lucas' heart suddenly seemed to sink into the abyss.
"Hasn't he turned in his 'Invisibility' yet?!" He yelled at Strawberry, "Didn't you say he had already turned in his 'Invisibility'?!"
Invisibility is the Hunter's ultimate self-preservation skill, granting them immunity to crowd control and instantaneous escape from combat, rendering them untargetable for five seconds – enough time to withdraw from any intense battle! Due to its extremely long cooldown, it's incredibly valuable and shouldn't be used unless it's crucial. If a Hunter who uses Invisibility doesn't regain it within the allotted time, they're doomed.
"Maybe he dodged too quickly! I misjudged him—" Strawberry cried in panic. Just now, all four of his team members had unleashed their abilities towards Lin Mingfei. It was dazzling, to say the least. He'd lost sight of Lin Mingfei for a split second and assumed she'd already used her own self-preservation abilities. But in truth, he was extremely skeptical. With that level of firepower just now, how could Lin Mingfei survive without using her "Invisibility"? Iron Man?
"Now!" Shi Ya shouted softly. He and Xia Tong appeared one after the other. The young wizard had been watching Lin Mingfei being beaten for a long time, his eyes red with frustration. As he ran to the central battle zone, he had already gathered a huge spelllight ball and threw it accurately at Lucas with a "boom".
Lucas was blasted with blood, and his life-saving skills were forced out. He was dizzy and saw Lin Mingfei reappear in the same place, being filled with milk from Shi Ya.
Lucas almost vomited blood.
In other words, their team used up all their burst skills, and in the end they all hit the air!
——Their outbursts were all deceived by Lin Mingfei!!
This bastard!!!
"Press the Hunter!" Lucas yelled hysterically, "We can lose the teamfight!! Zero must die!!!"
Strawberry was also filled with blood. He ignored everything and rushed towards Lin Mingfei. His axe flew out and tripped the hunter. The hunter was in the most dangerous situation as he was in everyone's sight. At the same time, he had lost his only life-saving skill. His "Mountain-Splitting Demon Slash" locked onto the target, and he teleported to chase after Lin Mingfei and pressed her to the ground.
A few seconds of stiffness left Lin Mingfei unable to move. With a few "clangs", he chopped off all the health that the hunter had just replenished, shouting as he prepared to kill him: "Go to hell!!"
Xiong Huang's screams rose from the spot he was standing in: "I can't heal the whole group!! Use damage reduction on yourselves!!"
Strawberry was stunned for a moment.
How is it possible that I can’t milk up a blood clot?
The Axe Warrior and the Knight were both single-player DPS, and the only other burst DPS was pinned to the ground, unable to move. Was he relying on just that one wizard? To hold down the entire group?
The word "impossible" flashed through his mind subconsciously.
But at the same time, he subconsciously glanced at his health bar.
A red light flashed—why was he bleeding red?!
In a split second, Strawberry forced himself to calm down. "It's okay... There's no DPS to take care of him right now. Blink just used a combo on Lucas, and Lucas used up his damage reduction and went into a vacuum. They should all be staring at Lucas... Wait! How did Lucas die so suddenly!!!"
It's okay, it's okay... Now he just needs to kill Zero as soon as possible, and there will still be room for the second half of the game -
With a "bang", his thoughts came to an abrupt end at the sound of the gunshot.
Strawberry was stunned. The scene in front of him quickly turned black and white, and he fell backwards to the ground. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the purely masculine smile on Lin Mingfei's face, and the muzzle of the gun that was slightly smoking.
What is this...? Where's the crosshairs? He hasn't seen the crosshairs yet!
"Have you forgotten that close-range sniping has a 100% chance of hitting the target?" Lin Mingfei quickly got up from the ground and said calmly, "Thank you for the delivery."
