Identity V, do you know what a double-bounce flywheel is?

In the final match, no one had much time to rest, and unlike before, they could rest for a day after playing against an opponent before starting a new match the next day.

This time, regardless of which country or which match it is, it will all be completed in one day.

A match in Identity V can last anywhere from short to long, and finishing one match in a day isn't too difficult.

But this takes a toll on the players' mental well-being.

They need to be highly focused and attentive in every match.

Anyone who has played video games knows that if you maintain a high level of focus all the time, playing video games is not necessarily an entertaining or enjoyable experience.

There's a saying that goes something like this: when a hobby becomes a profession, that hobby becomes boring.

Many people who enjoy playing games find themselves feeling relaxed when they're not playing them, especially when they treat it as a career or a profession.

Maintaining a high level of concentration is inherently exhausting, no matter what you do.

This is also why Chen Ke wanted to play against Xingguo first. If he played against Xingguo later, Xingguo would inevitably face Xiongguo with a stronger mental state.

This is very disadvantageous to their friends.

If possible, Chen Ke also hoped that his friend could achieve a better ranking.

Although, based on the current situation, it's impossible to tell whether Xiong Guoqiang or Xing Guoqiang is stronger,
However, judging from the score, Singapore is indeed in the lead.

It can also be assumed that it is the second strongest country after China.

Chen Ke was ready; the map for this game was Chinatown.

He was the first to be regulated.

Meanwhile, the players from the Star Kingdom had already arrived at their preparation seats, pondering how to respond. Chen Ke had also taken the lead by banning two survivors.

There are prophets and adventurers.

The audience watching from the sidelines were all watching this scene intently.

They were considering what kind of oversight Chen Ke would employ.

'Actually, even now I'm not sure what kind of oversight Chen Ke will use.'

'Yeah, I actually feel like he won't be using nightmare-like characters like he used to, but you never know.'

'If this was a setup, he's been planning it for way too long.'

'Actually, I feel he'll choose opera this round, what do you guys think?'

……

Those watching the game were trying to guess Chen Ke's thoughts and to resonate with him.

After Chen Ke banned two survivors, the survivors from the Star Kingdom quickly made their own choices.

Antique dealer, puppeteer.

It can be said that the characters that Xingguo (the country) has chosen are very forgiving of mistakes.

Ever since Chen Ke used the puppeteer to perfectly solve the noisy ball, they have also learned this technique.

A skilled puppeteer has already raised the team's ceiling.

For the third survival attempt, Chen Ke immediately banned the Mechanic.

This Chinatown map isn't a large one, but the Mechanic can still perform very well here.

However, Chen Ke gave the ban slot to the Mechanic, so the Priestess was naturally picked as well.

In the Chinatown map, the priest has many locations that can be utilized, just like in Eternal Sleep Town.

The fourth survivor, Chen Ke banned the Aviator, and the opponent's strategy was also very clear: they chose the First Officer.

The audience couldn't help but click their tongues in amazement.

Because the survivor lineup we chose was a bit too expensive.

After the first three characters are selected, the game will enter a global ban/pick phase.

They selected almost all the strong survivors, leaving only the first mate in fourth place.

The first mate, being the fourth pick, was not included in the global ban/pick phase and can still be selected later. However, the survivors selected in the first three picks cannot be selected again later.

This also means that Star Country will consider other combinations when it comes to subsequent lineup selections.

If we say that the game of the Abyss is mostly about the proficiency of the Noise Hunter and the Lame Sheep, then it's about the game.

Because both of these characters were introduced later, there wasn't much time for the audience to get to know and master them.

But for survival, it all comes down to having a large pool of characters.

The subsequent lineup will also need to be selected from the remaining survivors, which is inherently a difficult task.

After seeing the opponent's lineup, Chen Ke did not hesitate much and immediately locked in the lame sheep.

It seems that he had already decided to choose this from the very beginning.

The Xiong Kingdom survivors didn't play in this round; the hunter played instead, while the survivors sat below.

Seeing Chen Ke choose the lame sheep, they suddenly realized that Chen Ke had really gone easy on them in the first game.

They also chose a very strong lineup in the first game, but Chen Ke chose to take a step back and chose Apostle An.

Having just seen the lineup of the Star Kingdom Survival team, they thought Chen Ke would make the same choice and select a character that could guarantee a draw. However, they did not expect that Chen Ke would choose the Lame Sheep without hesitation.

"It seems that Brother Ke really went easy on us, otherwise it would have been difficult for us to score points in the first game."

"I'm starting to suspect that the fact that my group of antique dealers escaped unscathed might be because Brother Ke secretly let them off the hook and gave them a chance."

"Yes, if he didn't want to give up points, he would have done the same thing as now, directly choosing either the lame sheep or the noisy one to explode against us, instead of choosing Apostle Ann to pull us along."

"I didn't realize it before, but now I see that the ocean is all water."

"But we got really badly beaten in the last two games..."

"After seeing the score of Xingguo, they probably couldn't hold back anymore. I guess Chen Ke's side has changed the plan. As long as they beat them even more badly, that would be considered holding back for us."

……

The group quickly began analyzing the situation.

Those around him nodded in agreement.

Zahir grinned. If it weren't for the points system, he really felt that winning or losing against the Dragon Kingdom wouldn't matter.

The Dragon Kingdom really helped them a lot.

After hearing his teammates' analysis, he was even able to come up with ideas.

If it weren't for the fact that Xingguo had beaten Yangguo so badly and widened the score gap so much, Chen Ke might have gone easy on them a bit.

He had no complaints about Chen Ke's efforts to catch up in the second and third games and bring them down to fourth.

The score between opponents is the most unpredictable.

This is also the biggest drawback of the points system; no one knows whether the opponent or the other opponent will make a mistake.

He had no complaints; he was only thinking about doing his best to deal with the other two countries.

Seeing the Dragon Kingdom now exerting strong oversight over the Star Kingdom gives me a great sense of security.

The Dragon Kingdom is still considering their needs!
The priest chose the bottom right corner at the start, which is close to the main house, making it easier for a relatively weak character like him to control the enemy.

The first mate chose the Lion Tower, the puppeteer's midfield, and the antique dealer's location on the small lantern street.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Ke chose the location of the small room.

His talent in this round is a trump card plus a golden body.

Choosing a small house allows you to disable the cipher machine furthest away. If the person in the bottom right corner at the start of the game wants to repair the machine, they have to change their position.

Should we wait where we are?

Chen Ke knew that they couldn't just stand there and wait for the cipher machine to be decrypted.

In regular matches on large maps, survivors might choose to stay put and wait, because by the time they run around the map, the cipher machine will have been unlocked, so it's better to just stay put.

However, this is based on this small map; waiting at the start is tantamount to delaying the pace. (End of Chapter)
