Arknights, please stop going crazy over the streamer's operators.

Jiuguo is only at Elite 1, and as a Reaper template operator, she is still a starving operator, far from being able to cope with the high-pressure environment of some maps.

Texas is powerful enough, but she is far from being able to compete with Jiuguo on this kind of map.

She didn't even include the two-star Nightblade in her calculations.

In her mind, a two-star Yato is at most a tank to absorb some of the enemy's damage, and can't possibly offer any significant help.

Is Wanfeng going to play himself this time?

"Dog Maple chose this kind of map?"

"Although I really want to see them clear the level, this map is too challenging. Plus, Boss Jiuguo is only an Elite 1 Reaper, and he's paired with a useless two-star Nightblade. Silent Texas alone definitely can't beat them."

"This doesn't make sense! Boss Feng wants Boss Jiuguo dead! Looks like Boss Jiuguo can start preparing for the third installment. I'm applying for the female lead! My first choice is Texas, no exceptions!"

"My first choice is Texas +1, and I will not accept any transfers."

"I'm different. Even though I'm only a two-star, I still want the Qilin Girl, hehe??? I won't accept any other assignments!"

Jiuguo glanced at Yato and Texas beside her and found that neither of them seemed to have much of an interest in the map. Their faces, along with Wanfeng's, were full of composure.

It's as normal for these guys to come and rob 7-18 as it is for them to put on their underwear first after taking a shower, rather than putting on their down jacket first.

"Is it really possible?"

Jiu Guo couldn't help but ask again, but Li Ji simply patted him on the shoulder and nodded affirmatively.

As the level begins, enemies emerge from the red cracked door.

The first monster is the boss of this level, Patriot.

Unlike the bosses in other levels who don't appear until the middle, this last pure-blooded Wendigo appeared on the battlefield from the very beginning, standing on the ground like a general.

Although the armor was damaged in many places due to years of neglect, and the once sharp halberd was also rusted, its terrifying and tall figure still exuded a strong sense of oppression.

Even in the simulated battlefield, Jiu Guo could feel a sense of suffocation. She couldn't imagine what it would be like when she led her team to fight her way to this rift.

"Don't panic, go find the camera position, we don't need you for now."

Li Ji waved his hand and briefly explained Jiu Guo's task, "When I tell you where to stand, just stand there on the floor and attack anyone you see, okay?"

Without waiting for Jiuguo's reply, they immediately began the battle.

Silent Texas also entered the battlefield as soon as her mana was restored. The sound of swords cutting through the air and the different colored light on the sword blades were exactly the same as last night. Alternating lights kept flashing past Patriot.

What puzzled Li Ji was that although he chose to place Silent Texas in a square outside the Patriot's attack range, the Patriot still swung his giant halberd at Silent Texas in the simulation.

Texas dodged them all, so her health wasn't reduced.

Otherwise, with Patriot's deadly four-shot combo, he might not even need to fire the fourth shot.

The patriot shouted, "How many lovesick nights can one endure? The ends of the earth are not far enough. The second shot, heartbreak!"

Then Texas died on the spot.

But it was the fact that the Patriot could block attacks outside the grid in a non-linear manner that made Li Ji look puzzled.

This situation reminded him of the time when he first obtained the system and went to play 4-4.

"If I remember correctly, when we fought the Kingslayer, it was just a physical puppet, standing on the Originium floor without any resistance, right?"

He wasn't sure if he remembered it wrong, but if he could, he really wanted to go back and watch the recording.

But he's still streaming, so he can't just abandon his viewers and the level he's playing and switch to his own pre-recorded video.

"Let's finish what we're doing first."

Thinking of this, Li Ji brought his thoughts back to the battle. At this moment, the skill bar of Silent Texas was almost empty.

Patriot's health has also decreased by nearly a third.

"How can you take down a boss this much health????"

"Miss Texas is as high-output as ever."

"Can someone explain this? I've never seen this level before! I only occasionally see some mashup videos, but they just shout it out, I don't really understand it."

"You don't understand, and neither do I! This is practically one of the top maps in the safe zone. How many people can understand it?"

"I've only seen the strategy video compilations. Although they only showed the boss fights and didn't reveal the tactics, it seems like the first phase should have incredibly high defense and magic resistance, right? So why is Silent Texas able to deal so much damage!?"

Li Ji couldn't help but chuckle as he looked at the comments.

Do you understand the value of built-in resistance reduction?

If he were to use Nightblade, which has no armor penetration capabilities, to relentlessly attack Patriot, he would probably only deal double-digit damage. Even with his third skill, it would only increase the damage to a few hundred.

However, the Night Blade is never the first choice for taking down heavily armored targets.

The moment Texas was removed, small monsters began to swarm out from the route below.

Yato also disappeared the moment Texas returned to Li Ji's side.

A rope appeared from the sky, and the Kirin Night Blade made a dashing entrance!

The sharp blade spun in the air with the Yato's body, like a whirlwind dancing wildly.

"Continuous cuts!"

Chapter Thirty-Four: Could he possibly have two?

The white figure of the Kirin Night Blade flashed across the battlefield in an instant, swirling and dancing in the air before reaping the life of a guerrilla fighter who had just appeared.

But in that instant, Yato was also quickly withdrawn, leaving only the guerrilla fighters who had not yet turned to ashes on the battlefield, and the wind blades spinning through the air.

"What just flashed by? I couldn't have seen it wrong, could I? How come someone dressed as a Kirin cosplayer can actually use Monster Hunter moves?"

"Ka Biao, hurry up and contact the legal department. Although your legal department isn't as good as Ren ○tang's, you should be able to win a lawsuit against Gou Feng, right?"

"Quack, is that a dual-wielding sword? Everyone retreat! She's about to unleash her Demon Mode."

"Rubbing her back in place! Why can she rub her twin swords in the air? I really want that damn back-pushing feeling from rubbing in the air!"

"Negative review! This doesn't match the original work! This will only lead to greater misunderstandings about dual swords among the dual-sword fan community. I won't forgive this streamer until they play a greatsword!"

"Someone actually asked what the advantage of dual swords is? Well, it's because they can't draw a katana!"

"Why isn't anyone talking about the damage? Is this really the damage a two-star character can deal? This is definitely not right."

While the comments section was still buzzing with excitement, Li Ji's hands were busy with his tasks.

He quickly deployed mines on the two tiles below the Patriot.

In the early game, resources are still very scarce, especially in situations like double-fast-living where resources are needed to continuously deploy resources in the early stages.

It's quite difficult for Jiuguo to achieve his dream of playing.

However, some viewers questioned the act of planting landmines after seeing Li Ji's actions:

"Why don't we save these landmines to blow up Patriots? I've seen them used in all the montage videos! What if the mobs don't step on them when we plant them?"

"Yeah, Texas has to clear out mobs and fight bosses, she can't possibly manage it all."

"Don't ask, Brother Feng has his own understanding. Just watch and see. Isn't there Boss Jiuguo here too?"

"Although I don't know why he did it, he must be right."

Although many comments were trying to explain for Li Ji, it still couldn't drown out the barrage of comments.

Until two unfamiliar SCs appeared in the comments section:

Nanzhu123: Just arrived. This streamer's Silent Texas is really something. How could he deal so much damage to Patriot without any mines? And the other one is the Dual Blade Master, right?

Nanzhu123: Viewers don't need to question the placement of this mine. It's placed very reasonably. It will definitely be in the spot where the small monsters step on it. In this level, there are usually extra mines. It's no problem to save them to blow up the long-range mortars.

"Holy crap, what kind of gust of wind blew Nanzhu over here too?"

Who is Nanzhu?

"Your profile picture is verified. You're a martial artist from Yingming Pavilion. If you don't recognize him, you shouldn't be hanging around online!"

"Yingmingge, ranked second? People like him watch live streams?"

"What? My husband, Qingye, is also looking at Wanfeng. What, you're not happy about it??"

"Hey, how did Nanzhu become Nanzhu123? Did someone else register the ID?"

Li Ji never expected that there would be such an knowledgeable person watching the live stream, but when he learned from the comments that the other person was from Yingming Pavilion, Li Ji felt relieved.

The placement order of the 7-18 mines is similar to that of the 4-4 boxes.

As a 3D simulation and real combat scenario, it's difficult to find a complete reference point for the path under the monster's feet. Only someone with extensive research skills could place the mines in the correct order.

The bombing of Patriot missiles can have a significant deviation, because the Patriot missiles themselves are very large, and their marching posture is relatively slow, with a more compact pace.

The likelihood of stepping on a landmine increases relatively.

The smaller enemies are different; they are much smaller than the Patriots and move very fast, making it much less forgiving to place mines.

But the other party only glanced at it and was able to tell that Li Ji's landmines were properly placed, so they must be someone who is very familiar with the location.

"I never expected that even the big shots from Yingming Pavilion would watch my live stream."

Nanzhu123: It's nothing. I just played Monster Hunter occasionally in my spare time recently. Someone told me that someone here was using Monster Hunter skills to fight in the Rift, so they asked me to come and take a look. But unfortunately, it was just a two-star trash cosplayer.

Nan Zhu didn't use regular bullet comments when he spoke; instead, he used individual SC messages costing 30 yuan each. These were inexpensive and allowed Li Ji to easily understand what he was saying.
