Delta: With wages in place, even the Demon King's top-tier protection is crushed.

After listening, Lin Shu looked at Lü Ang's serious expression and couldn't help but laugh. He nodded magnanimously to show his understanding: "It's nothing, it's nothing. I was wondering at the time, thinking that you were a social terrorist online, but it turns out you're actually socially awkward in real life. But seriously..."

Lin Shu changed the subject and couldn't help but tease, "Bro, don't go all out like that next time. It's not important that you're crushing us in the game; we're all just admitting defeat because we're not as skilled. But don't starve yourself on stage just to kill us! If word gets out, tomorrow's headline in the esports world will be 'Idiot Dies on Stage Due to Overexertion'."

"Trust me, the internet will be celebrating with firecrackers."

"Hahahaha!" Yi Lin and Yolo from Dongba Tua, who were standing next to him, couldn't help but laugh when they heard this.

Lü Ang laughed heartily, "Don't worry, Brother Shu, I just played with passion in the first game. I'll definitely play more conservatively from now on!"

The main problem is that Lu Ang's stats were maxed out in one go, which consumed too much energy. The feeling of being hungry was really unpleasant.

"I'll save you some face."

Lü Ang chuckled.

Lin Shu laughed and retorted without any politeness, "After being killed by you so many times, what face do I still have?"

"One thing at a time."

"Alright~" Lin Shu waved his hand, and the two walked forward chatting and laughing. Lin Shu looked at Lü Ang's signature mask and suggested with a smile, "Hey, seriously, after all the matches are over today, how about we get together for dinner tonight? I can also see what you look like under that mask. The whole industry is really curious about your appearance right now."

Lü Ang readily agreed: "Sure, Brother Shu, as long as you guys don't gang up on me in real life because I beat you up in the game, that's fine."

"You can look all you want as long as you don't hit me."

Lin Shu pretended to suddenly realize something and waved his hands repeatedly: "Oh, now that you mention it, I really can't guarantee it. Never mind, I'd better not watch it. What if I drink a little tonight and remember that first shot you took me by the rifle? I'm afraid I might not be able to resist buying a rope to tie you up."

"Ha ha ha ha--"

The two laughed and gave each other a high five, then returned to their respective seats in a friendly atmosphere.

Wearing noise-canceling headphones instantly shuts out the noise from the outside world.

At this moment, in the official live stream, although GG was playing during the break, the scrolling speed of the comments on the right side did not slow down at all. Netizens were still immersed in the inhuman performance of Lü Ang in the previous game and were discussing it wildly.

"Guys, I just watched the slow-motion replay of that last 1v3 fight by that idiot, and I was totally stunned!"

"This is outrageous! The KC17 was out of ammo, so he used his jetpack to dodge the line of fire, then just pulled out and headshot me without even aiming! What kind of insane prediction is that?"

"I admit I used to criticize melons, but I'm completely convinced by what they did in today's offline competition."

"Online, I can say this isn't a cheat, but now that it's offline, I really don't know what to say..."

"The fattest Bruce squad ever! Next game they'll be bringing AWMs and five-piece armor, who can stop them?"

"What if we don't bring it?"

"Impossible. There were bricks in the second round. With such a huge advantage in the first round, why wouldn't they try to seize it and cash in on that advantage?"

"This match was so exciting! It was much more thrilling than those matches where you spent half a day planning and then had to fight one last big game!"

As the countdown in the live stream ended, the second game of the second round, Bakshi, began! (Read the full text for free, Chapter 219, Link: [link missing]). The screen cut, and commentators Lao Hei and A Cheng reappeared in front of the camera.

"Alright, welcome back! Break time is over, and our second match of Group A in the semifinals is about to begin!" Old Black's voice was still full of passion. "The last match was truly eye-opening. Bruce's Cucumber player used absolute power to declare to everyone what FPS talent really is!"

"That's right," Ah Cheng chimed in. "After the extremely fierce clashes in the first round, I believe each team has a new assessment of each other's strength. And for the second round, we've come to a map with even more complex terrain and more pronounced elevation differences—[Baksh]!"

"On the map Baksh, there's a lot of close-quarters combat in the indoor areas of Babel Tower and the Museum, as well as long-range skirmishes in the Old Town. And we need to know that Bruce's squad has the only super S-grade weapon in the entire game—the AWM!" Old Black raised his voice.

"Furthermore, starting from the second game, not only will everyone have the resources to buy better equipment, but more importantly, [Mandel Bricks] will spawn on the map! The match point-based brick-capture system has officially begun!"

"Are you ready, everyone?"

On the big screen, the tactical sandbox of the Baksh map suddenly lit up, and the respawn points of the six teams began to flash on the map.

"The match is officially starting!"

"Like Zero Dam, the spawn point of Baksh is also fixed. Of course, I want to tell you in advance that if we play two maps in a row, for example, if we are still playing Baksh in the next game, then the six teams will definitely not respawn at the respawn point of Baksh in the first game. The T1, T2 and T3 positions will be rearranged."

"Of course, in this game, we'll also introduce Baksh's respawn points for positions T1 to T3."

"First, there's Baksh's T1 resurrection spot, the first spot on the high platform to the left of the museum, and the first spot in the camp."

"Baksh's T2 respawn point is the number one spot on the left and right sides of the Tower of Babel."

"Bakshi's T3 position is the Blues Mountain Town and Cherry Town."

"Unlike your usual gameplay, the market in our competition server does not refresh teams."

"The match has started now, let's see where the six teams' respawn points are this round?"

"First, the player in position one on the high ground revived our Dongba Tua team. This time, they all have four sets, clearly wanting to gain something this time, and they're really aiming for the first Mandel brick!"

"Then the camp's number one position is where our Y Cannon Chengming Squad was revived. This time, they adopted a completely different tactic from the Dongba Tua Squad. They are still accumulating strength in this game, perhaps because they are wary of Bruce Squad AW in the first game and dare not equip themselves with good gear."

"As for the second position, BSG team and 78 team respawned in the first position of the Babel Tower Ocean and the first position of the Healer, respectively."

"On the third position, Blues Mountain City revived our Bruce team, and Cherry Town revived our DIA team."

"So what will our teams do this time? The two teams on the Babel Tower side have both chosen to swipe their cards to enter the tower."

"Our museum team, with the number one positions on both sides, has tacitly chosen their positions. The Dongba Tua team on the high platform is positioned in the middle, aiming at both sides, while the Y-Cannon Chengming team on the camp side is keeping a close watch on the Blues Mountain City direction."

"And it seems our resurrected Bruce squad in Blues Mountain City has also noticed Y-Cannon Chengming's team?"

"This time, Haotian is playing with an AW weapon. He's already scoped in and slowly grinding!"
