Before the competition, Li Jiu was actually quite confident in himself. No matter how strong Uncle Fat was, at least he had not received professional training. He, on the other hand, had been training under the encouragement of God Nie and God Lan for more than half a year. In terms of practical experience, he had far more than Uncle Fat.
After taking a deep breath and ignoring the shock brought by the fat uncle's appearance, Li Jiu quickly calmed down and began to select a map.
The first game was his home game, and he chose the "Scorched Earth" map, the favorite of the Judgement Club, without hesitation. It reduced the opponent's mental strength every second, forcing the opponent to quickly summon all cards for a head-on attack.
In the deck he brought today, the lion, tiger, and wolf pack do not rely on skills to survive, and can bite and tear at close range to deal extremely high damage in the shortest time. The "One-horned Black Rhino" is a tough and thick range taunt card that protects its output cards from being killed instantly. The "Giant Zebra" is a range fear control and range attack buff. The other two hidden cards, one of which is the "Brown Bear", is an automatic taunt card that protects the team's health below 30%, and the "Red Fox" is a single-target critical hit + single-target stun.
He had asked the great Shanlan to help him put together this deck before the game. With two taunt cards, the survival rate of the entire lineup is extremely high. If the opponent wants to continuously deal with "Black Rhino" and "Brown Bear", two cards with health exceeding 150,000, it will definitely take a lot of energy. The group control of the zebra and the single control of the red fox can ensure that the other three output cards can kill the opponent's core cards in the shortest time.
The whole deck has both offensive and defensive capabilities and is very balanced.
Xie Mingzhe had already guessed most of his opponent's cards. The judging style must include at least three normal attack cards. Therefore, he sent out five gold deck cards, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong, Ma Chao and Liu Bei.
It seemed to be a simple counter-attack strategy of fighting violence with violence, but in his hidden cards, he added the healing card Shennong and the resurrection card Nuwa. These two magic cards were enough to guarantee his ability to fight in the later stages.
What Xie Mingzhe did was actually a form of psychological warfare.
Just looking at the cards, the opponent would think that he wants to fight head-on, but in fact, Xie Mingzhe wants to delay the game to the later stage and protect Huang Zhong.
Huang Zhong's card has a very long attack range. The sharp arrows shot from the longbow are calculated based on "50% of the opponent's basic health". One arrow can knock down half of the opponent's health. As long as the second arrow is shot, no matter how thick the opponent's skin is, he will die.
Although this card has a long cooldown time, it is extremely scary to use it in the late game - two arrows can kill a card, no matter how high the defense is. It is especially useful against high-HP Taunt Cards.
The map loads and the two sides begin fighting.
Li Jiu really thought that the opponent was going to fight him head-on, and he was secretly happy in his heart - because in a head-on team battle, few people can beat the Judgment Beast deck. No matter how high your skill output is, it will always cool down for more than ten seconds, right? But my beasts are all close-range bites, even if the single attack is low, but there is no need to wait for the skill to cool down, the damage caused per unit time is definitely higher than yours.
This is the power of the normal attack flow.
However, the normal attack flow is not easy to operate. It requires the beasts to quickly focus on the opponent's key cards, and the defense of beast cards with high output will be relatively low. If one or two of the cards are killed instantly, you will face the embarrassment of "lack of stamina".
Therefore, Li Jiu played very actively.
At the beginning of the game, he summoned all the cards directly, first using the zebra's group fear to control the field, and then releasing lions, wolves, and tigers. A large group of ferocious beasts collectively pounced on Guan Yu who was walking in the front of Xie Mingzhe. The scene was really breathtaking.
Fortunately, Xie Mingzhe was already accustomed to all kinds of strange star card illusions. Seeing all the beasts rushing towards Guan Yu, he immediately asked Liu Bei to put a gold shield on his second brother that would protect him from death, and activated the uncle's control-releasing skill.
Guan Yu absorbed a large amount of damage, but he was protected by a shield and could not die for a while. So Xie Mingzhe asked Guan Yu to use a skill to speed up by 500%, and rushed into the beast group with his third brother Zhang Fei.
Xie Mingzhe's operation speed is extremely fast. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei teamed up to chop the opponent's output cards. After chopping one round, Liu Bei immediately activated the "Peach Garden Oath" linkage, refreshed his skills and chopped for the second round!
These two rounds of violent output indeed destroyed all three of Li Jiu's output cards.
But Li Jiu was not afraid at all because he had already summoned the brown bear.
The design of the Brown Bear card is very clever. Its taunt is not an active skill taunt, but a passive taunt - as long as it exists, within a range of 30 meters, when the health of a friendly target is less than 30%, the attack on the friendly target will automatically be transferred to it.
Therefore, even though Li Jiu's three output cards are now at low health, with the brown bear on the field, these three low-health cards will never die.
Xie Mingzhe had no choice but to attack the brown bear and let Huang Zhong shoot an arrow from a long distance!
Huang Zhong's arrow instantly reduced the high HP of the brown bear to half HP. At this time, Guan Yu was saved by his shield, and Liu Bei's shield skill was in cooldown. Knowing how scary Huang Zhong was, Li Jiu immediately changed his target and took the opportunity to kill Huang Zhong, intending to wait until Guan Yu's shield ended and then take away the two cards on the opposite side at once.
Seeing that Guan Yu and Huang Zhong had less than 10% of their health left, Xie Mingzhe suddenly summoned Shennong.
Since the map depletes mental power very quickly, Xie Mingzhe summoned Shennong almost at the right time, and his calculation of mental power was extremely precise.
As soon as Shennong appeared, vegetation suddenly grew all around, and large areas of green grass quickly spread out on the ground - Shennong's group formation healing skill, all friendly forces within the formation range will recover their health at a percentage every second!
Guan Yu and Huang Zhong, who were almost killed, actually recovered their health.
Li Jiu really wanted to spit out blood.
There's actually a healing card hidden inside? What happened to the promise of confronting each other head on and fighting violence with violence? You can't cheat on people's feelings like this!
Fans in the live broadcast room were also speechless: "He is such a slacker, I want to cheer for Nine Lives Cat!" "Nine Lives Cat must be so angry, right? He finally defeated Huang Zhong, but he started the healing formation!" "Shennong's blood addition is very high, and the formation has a long existence time. The first wave was played straightforwardly, and I felt sorry for the opponent." "Fat Uncle said: Are you surprised? Are you surprised? I can still add blood after you fight for a long time!" "Your tone above is really asking for a beating, you know? Of course, Fat Uncle may really think so, he is not a serious person at first glance."
Passersby were very confused: "...How come all of Fat Uncle's fans are like haters?"
A passerby who knew the truth said: "This is called teasing! I think the style of Fat Uncle's fans is as unique as Fat Uncle himself!"
Fans are also upset. If he loses, they feel that their love for him for so long cannot be in vain. If he really loses, wouldn’t it prove that they are blind? But if he wins, why are they so unhappy? So they complain a few words and cheer for Uncle Fatty’s opponent, but in reality they still hope that Uncle Fatty can win - the mood is particularly contradictory and complicated.
Xie Mingzhe's playing style made Li Jiu extremely unhappy.
Fighting for so long and then losing blood is like a waste of effort. Li Jiu took a deep breath and continued to kill Huang Zhong with Shennong's blood recovery array - you recover 10% of your blood per second, and I lose more blood than you recover per second, right?
As a result, Li Jiu began to focus his fire on Huang Zhong, while Xie Mingzhe called on Ma Chao to speed up, allowing Huang Zhong to ride his horse and run away quickly.
At the competition, a weird scene appeared: "a group of beasts chasing and biting the old man riding a horse."
The beast chased for a long time and finally bit Huang Zhong to death.
Li Jiu breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he would kill Guan Yu in one second, since the gold shield on Guan Yu was gone anyway.
As a result, he just ordered the beasts to turn around and kill Guan Yu, and when Guan Yu was about to be beaten to only 10 drops of health, he saw that the killed Huang Zhong actually stood up on the spot, and a large area of green grass appeared in the area. Then, Huang Zhong who stood up on the spot and the disabled Guan Yu actually quickly recovered their health? !
Li Jiu: “???”
Nuwa, the baby is resurrected. Shennong tastes hundreds of herbs and explodes to restore a large amount of health to the group of friendly forces!
Xie Mingzhe once again hit the timing, and when his mental strength was almost exhausted, he summoned Nuwa to the limit!
The female commentator said excitedly: "He calculated the mental power accurately. It seems that he is very familiar with the map of scorched earth and flames!"
The male commentator also expressed his admiration: "Using two skills in a row not only saved Guan Yu, but also revived Huang Zhong with full status and retreated far away. This operation deserves 99 points, and I am afraid that he will be too proud!"
Li Jiu's beasts had already switched their fire to kill Guan Yu on the other side, and they couldn't reach Huang Zhong at all. Huang Zhong's position was very safe. Moreover, Huang Zhong's skill cooldown was already ready, and he shot another arrow, and the brown bear was killed directly.
Immediately afterwards, Nuwa Baby marked a low-health card on the opposite side, and Ma Chao rushed over and made a simple attack, and the lion also died.
Li Jiu: “…………”
This is fucking awesome! Self-destruction to recover health, baby resurrection, can you be a little more shameless?!
Li Jiu's card couldn't recover after losing health, but Uncle Fat's card shamelessly recovered twice and resurrected once, and actually managed to survive his three consecutive crits, and then quickly killed his core card!
Li Jiu's heart was completely broken.
This feeling is like being played with like a dog walker, it's so uncomfortable!
After losing the first game, Li Jiu's mentality was a little broken.
In the second game at Fat Uncle's home court, Xie Mingzhe chose a map called "Snowfield", which is a commonly used map in Liushuang City. The snow scene map will reduce the movement speed of all cards, making it impossible for beast cards to exert their power through fast normal attacks. His gold deck has a great advantage because of Ma Chao's bonus to the entire group's movement speed and a 500% bonus to movement speed when using skills.
In the second game, Xie Mingzhe abandoned the strategy of dragging Nuwa and Shennong into the late stages and directly sent in Wu Song and Sun Shangxiang.
Wu Song fights the tiger. Before the opponent summons the brown bear, he kills the opponent's tiger with an instant death judgment. Sun Shangxiang can cooperate with Huang Zhong and fire a wave of rockets to harvest after the opponent is completely defeated.
In the second round, Li Jiu was simply under pressure. His tiger was killed the moment it came out. His beasts couldn't even get close to the opponent and were beaten to a bloody pulp by Fatty's cavalry. Then, Huang Zhong and Sun Shangxiang came out and shot one arrow, two arrows, and three arrows - the gold arrows and the arrows with flames cut through the sky together and directly shot the herd of beasts upside down!
——2:0!
In the first round, we won by slowing down the pace through treatment and resurrection, and in the second round, we cleared the field with a violent attack.
Fat Uncle won two games in a row and successfully entered the semi-finals!
The female commentator said excitedly: "Congratulations to Fatty... Mingzhe for winning the last spot in the semi-finals!"
Originally she wanted to call him "Fat Uncle", but when she saw this face, the female commentator immediately changed her words, and the inappropriate name "Fat...Mingzhe" appeared.
Xie Mingzhe played really well in these two games. Even the masters watching the games in the professional league had to praise his quick reaction speed and strong awareness of deck selection.
The live broadcast platform was flooded with 6666s all over the screen. Apparently, his performance was recognized by most of the audience.
In the alliance group, since the number one anti-fan Ye Zhu did not speak out, other great players naturally would not publicly stand up to praise Uncle Pang for his good play.
Logically speaking, the fans at the scene should be cheering excitedly at this time.
But fans said, "I haven't come to my senses yet. Is the game over yet?" Everyone was a little confused. You're too quick to finish the game. Did the two games take more than 15 minutes? !
The fans in the live broadcast room reacted faster, and collectively joked: "Fat... Mingzhe, this new name is good!" "Did he win so soon? Who can end his winning streak!" "Everyone must turn from fans to haters, don't forgive him just because he is good-looking." "Yes, we are fans with principles. We will not turn against him because he is ugly, but only because he is handsome~~"
Of course, some girls also made serious comments: "He is very talented and handsome, why do you want to blacken him? What can I do if I like him more!" "+1, I know I have no principles, but I really can't hate him for his looks!"
Although a large number of fans online were saying that they had “turned from fans to haters”, in fact, during the game, the number of fans following Uncle Fat’s personal homepage did not decrease but increased - from the previous two million to five million in one go!
Not to mention that he turned against others, after showing his face, he actually attracted a large number of new fans.
After the game, Xie Mingzhe smiled and shook hands with Li Jiu, then imitated Brother Chen and bowed politely to the audience.
When Brother Chen bowed just now, he received warm applause from the audience.
When he bowed...
Why is there only sporadic applause, and 90% laughter and whistles?
When Xie Mingzhe saw countless posters torn up in the audience, he smiled guiltily, immediately admitted his mistake, and ran back to the backstage as if escaping.
The author has something to say:
Some readers have some misunderstandings about this chapter. The fans flooding the screen with comments that "turned black" was obviously just a joke. If you watch more game live broadcasts, you will know that there are not many fans who praise their idols in the bullet screen area. Most fans celebrate their idols' death by throwing flowers and saying "Hahahaha" and "What a handsome death". This book may have too many readers who don't play games, so there are misunderstandings. In fact, it is normal for fans to flood the screen with comments to tease their idols.
I don’t want Pipizhe’s fans to be a bunch of nymphomaniacs. His fans are definitely the most powerful and talented group.
Liking someone is not something you say, it depends on actual actions. Let’s see in the next game :)
