Chapter 319: Pool (166)



"How did they do that?!" Mu Sicheng was completely confused.

Bai Liu said calmly: "Intelligence and targeted skills screening."

"I'm inclined to this answer as well." Wang Shun nodded and agreed with Bai Liu's statement, "Lasell Cemetery has collected a large number of new players with low skills, and then dispatched a team of new players with skills that can suppress the opponent according to the different skills of the members of each guild team they are fighting against."

Wang Shun continued: "This tactic was demonstrated in Russell Cemetery against multiple guild teams, and their team members' skills consciously targeted the enemy's ace players."

"The most obvious one was the Russell Cemetery vs. Killer Series Challenge."

Wang Shun clicked on the panel and a short video appeared.

The character in the short video is obviously a Spade trapped in a quagmire. Wang Shun explained:

"In this match, the skill of the Russell Cemetery Tactician is to swallow an enemy player into a quagmire, restricting their movement speed and reducing their attack damage. However, in return, one of their own team members must actively sacrifice in order to activate this skill."

"This skill is useless in daily games and normal leagues."

"In the game, no team member would be willing to sacrifice himself just to trap a monster. In the league, no guild would sacrifice the team members they have worked so hard to train just to block the movement of an opponent's team member."

Wang Shun turned his head and looked at Spade who was trapped in the panel: "But this seemingly useless skill worked wonders when facing Spade, who is used to leaving the team and acting alone, and uses fast movement and fast attack as his main killer moves."

"After trapping Spade, the fierce offensive rhythm of the Killer Sequence was instantly interrupted. One day later, the Killer Sequence lost a member."

Wang Shun turned his head and looked at Mu Sicheng: "If it wasn't for Hei Tao's final breakthrough, last year's first place wouldn't be in the killer sequence."

Mu Sicheng couldn't believe it: "With this method, can we have a 93% winning rate?!"

"It is precisely because of this method that we have such a high winning rate." Bai Liu lowered his eyes and looked at the paper. "Gather a large number of new players, and then select the skills that just restrain the enemy from a large number of players. Change the team as the enemy rotates. Each team is carefully selected consumables, and they are replaced when they die."

"Very good tactics." Bai Liu commented calmly.

Wang Shun sighed deeply: "This tactic is very cruel, but cruel tactics are often effective in this game. I haven't thought of a good solution yet."

"How come there is no solution?!" Mu Sicheng was very dissatisfied, "They are using tactics against us, and we can also use tactics against them!"

Liu Jiayi, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up: "It can't be done."

Mu Sicheng glanced over and said, "Why can't they do it? They are just ordinary newcomers with ordinary skills. As long as we know the information about them..."

"The problem is that it's hard to know." Liu Jiayi looked directly at Mu Sicheng, "Russell Cemetery has 500 to 1,000 reserve team members. In order to reduce the exposure of these players, Russell Cemetery gave up training star players and gave up single and double competitions. Basically, every player has no way to find a game video to enter the small TV library."

"Under these circumstances, it is difficult to obtain the skills intelligence of so many ordinary newcomers."

Mu Sicheng turned his head to look at Wang Shun: "We can let Wang Shun sneak in, and then use his skills to obtain the other party's intelligence..."

Liu Jiayi interrupted Mu Sicheng coldly: "Do you think the King's Guild has never tried it?"

"First of all, even if Wang Shun could sneak into Russell Cemetery and obtain intelligence on these hundreds of people without being discovered, it would be difficult to determine from the intelligence obtained by Wang Shun alone which of these hundreds of people have skills that are aimed at our team."

"Secondly, Mu Sicheng, do you know how many permutations there would be if hundreds or thousands of people were to arrange the numbers of five?"

"Tens of thousands." Before Mu Sicheng could answer, Liu Jiayi gave the answer directly, "These hundreds of people can form tens of thousands of team combinations, and there are tens of thousands of possibilities for what their skills will look like after being assembled and combined."

Liu Jiayi looked directly at Mu Sicheng: "We are in the light, and they are in the dark. We only have five people, and they have hundreds of newcomers who have not been exposed at all."

"Because of our excellent skills, our exposure rate is not low. Except for Tang Erda, almost everyone has several game videos that have entered the small TV library."

"We can't do what they did and completely abandon our star players, because we need the audience's support to get a free pass, so our exposure will get higher and higher in the future, and it will be easy to get intelligence on us."

"The amount of intelligence and information is totally unequal," Liu Jiayi judged coldly, "It's impossible to formulate targeted tactics."

"During last year's mid-season tournament, even the King's Guild didn't know which players Russell Cemetery would send out to compete until the moment they took the field."

After hearing this, Mu Sicheng slowly leaned over the table, his eyes wide open: "...How can we play this? This is too shameless, isn't it?"

Suddenly, Mu Sicheng straightened up again and slammed the table. "No! Russell Cemetery is using up so many of these reserve soldiers and sending them to die. These reserve soldiers definitely don't want that!"

"We can start from this aspect!" Mu Sicheng said with great conviction, looking at Bai Liu with shining eyes, "Bai Liu, it's time for you to play your role. With your eloquence, you can definitely persuade these reserve members to join our Wandering Circus Guild!"

For a moment, Bai Liu, Wang Shun, and Liu Jiayi all looked at Mu Sicheng with a very friendly expression.

"Actually," Wang Shun said tactfully, "I think you, Mushen, don't need to be so active in participating in tactical discussions."

Mu Sicheng took a moment to react, and after realizing what Wang Shun meant, he lay down on the table again in frustration: "...Did I say something wrong again?"

"It's impossible that these reserve players know they are going to be used as cannon fodder, yet they are still willing to participate in the league for this Russell Cemetery?" Mu Sicheng put his head on the table and looked at Wang Shun.

Wang Shun sighed with mixed feelings: "That's exactly what happened."

Mu Sicheng was really confused now: "Why?"

Liu Jiayi rolled her eyes and said speechlessly, "Idiot, do you know why the Russell Cemetery is called the Russell Cemetery?"

Mu Sicheng paused for a moment, then said incredulously, "Fuck, no way? Cemetery? Is that what I thought it meant?"

"Bingo, yes, that's what you think." Liu Jiayi snapped his fingers. "New players who join this guild know what kind of guild they have entered, and they also know that they are likely to be sacrificed by the guild."

"They knew they were walking into a public cemetery and were prepared to become one of them."

Mu Sicheng leaned back in his chair, his eyes unfocused: "...I can't understand why they would do this."

"Mushen, you rarely pay attention to these news because you don't like the guild." Wang Shun explained, "Russell Cemetery is essentially an escape-type guild that accepts a large number of new players of the fear game."

"Some new players are very averse to the game and want to escape from it, so the president of Russell Cemetery stepped forward and established this collective cemetery sex club."

"He promised these players that you can leave your death in Russell Cemetery, and when Russell Cemetery wins, I will make a wish to resurrect you from the cemetery and distribute the points to you, satisfy your desires, and allow you to leave the game."

Mu Sicheng thought it was ridiculous: "How could anyone believe this?"

Wang Shun nodded: "Many players believe it. Apart from the high-level skilled new players who were selected by the big guilds, a considerable number of skilled players of varying quality went to Russell Cemetery."

Mu Sicheng was speechless: "What if this Russell Cemetery can't win the championship? Wouldn't they have died in vain?"

Liu Jiayi kicked Mu Sicheng and raised her chin to signal him to take a look at the winning rate on the PPT.

Mu Sicheng was speechless again, but he still felt something was wrong: "Even if this Russell can win, can these people ensure that the guild leader can fulfill his promise?"

Liu Jiayi couldn't help but show a "you are such a fool" expression to Mu Sicheng again: "Do you know what the slogan of Russell Cemetery is?"

Mu Sicheng looked at Liu Jiayi: "What is it?"

Liu Jiayi said: "May we die in hope."

"These new players who chose to join Russell Cemetery were all selected by the big guilds. They had high hopes for their own skills at the beginning and thought they could survive by relying on their skills. But later they found that their skills were not worth mentioning at all and no one cared about them. There was a process of self-value system collapse."

Liu Jiayi paused for a moment and continued, "In the later stages, these newcomers simply don't believe they can survive in the game on their own. They live in fear and think they will die sooner or later. Rather than being tortured to death in a horror game, they would rather choose a hopeful way to die."

"In fact, many people don't expect the president of Russell Cemetery to fulfill his promise. They just want to die in peace."

Wang Shun, who was standing by, sighed as he listened: "Mushen, you and Bai Liu may not pay much attention to this kind of guild, because you are both high-level skilled players, and this kind of guild is the last resort for low-level skilled players."

"I always find it amazing that a guild formed by low-skilled players can actually have such great destructive power." Liu Jiayi held her chin up and recalled, "Although Hearts won last year, it was not a smooth game."

Bai Liu turned his head to look at Liu Jiayi: "How did the Hearts win the Russell Cemetery last year?"

Liu Jiayi thought for a moment and replied, "There is no way for people from Russell Cemetery to take the red heart. Her skills involve appearance change and charm. It is difficult to find a player who can resist her skills."

"But the rest of the team was clamped pretty hard."

"Hearts fought a war of attrition, slowly grinding their way through the game. It was very hard, but the opponent was a newcomer and their skills were not as good as Hearts's. In the end, they still won."

Bai Liu turned to look at Wang Shun: "How did Ni Shen beat this team last year?"

Wang Shun and Liu Jiayi fell silent at the same time.

After a while, Wang Shun finally spoke: "I didn't see it clearly."

Bai Liu raised his eyebrows: "Didn't you see clearly?"

"One minute after the match started," Wang Shun said with a wry smile, "the tactician from Russell Cemetery surrendered to Nishen."
