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

Preparation time for the fourth game.

The atmosphere at the competition venue seemed even more tense than before. Although the players on stage were separated by physical barriers, the tense atmosphere had already spread through the internet to every viewer's screen.

The seat for the Dongba Tua team.

Lin Shu rubbed his temples, staring at the equipment configuration interface on the screen, his tone extremely serious: "Brothers, the situation has changed. In the last round, not only did we fail to disrupt Bruce's team's rhythm, but they also got a fully equipped AWM and ten rounds of ammo. Now we're facing a dead end—they have match point and have obtained weapons with an absolute advantage."

Yolo's expression was also grim: "If they get the Mandel brick again this round, the match will be over, everyone will be out early, and we'll all have to fight for second place."

"So there's no room for any more holding back." Lin Shu took a deep breath and clicked the mouse directly at the highest configuration in the store. "This match is a true life-or-death game. Forget about economic management, buy all the level 5 helmets and level 5 armor that are limited to one purchase per day! At all costs, we must crush Bruce's team at the space base this time!"

The same scene also occurred in the voice channels of BSG, Team 78, DIA, and Team Y Cannon Chengming.

At this moment, all the teams reached an astonishing consensus: even if they couldn't get the brick this round, they absolutely couldn't let Bruce's team get it! This was no longer a simple battle for points, but a desperate siege launched by five teams against the top of the leaderboard!

However, the atmosphere at Bruce's team's game table was unusually calm.

"They must have guessed we were going to charge in this time." Nanbowan grinned as he looked at the Level 5 heavy body armor he had just bought, his eyes gleaming with a fanatical fighting spirit.

"So what if I guessed?" Lü Ang's eyes were like a deep pool, calm enough to send chills down your spine. In the last round, they deliberately avoided buying the limited-purchase "Five Tops" and "Five Heads" to put all their chips on this one. "It's all or nothing. This round, we are the enemy of the entire arena. Since they want to stop us, we'll wipe them all out."

"Let's confirm the equipment configuration." Lü Ang began the final pre-battle deployment.

"I am Operator Red Wolf. My primary weapon is an M14 assault rifle with level 5 ammunition, and my secondary weapon is an AWM. I carry five magnum rounds." Lü Ang's voice was steady and powerful.

"I'm Operator Luna," Haotian immediately reported the emergency. "Primary weapon: M14; secondary weapon: that AWM we brought out in the second round, now out of ammo. Give me molecular rounds in the game. Everyone has level 5 armor!"

"I am Operator Bee Doctor." Nanbowan cracked his knuckles. "My primary weapon is an M14, and my secondary weapon is an M700 sniper rifle. I will be responsible for healing, reviving teammates, and providing mid-to-long-range fire support and cover."

"Why does this feel a bit like chuunibyou?" Before the tense atmosphere could last long, Lü Ang suddenly said this to himself.

The atmosphere was immediately ruined.

Nanbowan and Haotian couldn't help but laugh.

"Alright, alright." Lü Ang shook his head. Now is not the time to relax. "Let's get serious. This is normal pre-match planning!"

Lü Ang nodded, took a deep breath, and gripped the mouse and keyboard again with both hands.

"Let's leave work early this time!"

As the countdown ended, the screen flashed, accompanied by rousing electronic sounds, and the director's camera cut to the commentary booth.

"Ladies and gentlemen! The exciting fourth game, Space Base, is about to begin!" Lao Hei's voice was already hoarse, but he was still shouting with the greatest enthusiasm.

"This Space Base match is definitely going to be an unprecedented bloodbath!" Ah Cheng stared intently at the God's-eye view on the screen. "Let's first explain the special rules of the competition server! In the competition server, the respawn points for Space Base are still fixed at three tiers: T1, T2, and T3!"

"The T1 respawn point is the west gate and launch area!"

"The T2 respawn points are the central control area and the second assembly workshop!"

"T3 respawn point is the prison and dormitory area!"

Old Hei continued, "Everyone, please note that the respawn point at the second employee passage in the space base of the competition server has been removed, and teams will no longer spawn there! Furthermore, the match time is an extremely tight 18 minutes! Within these 18 minutes, the [Broken Bridge Event] and [Ascended Action] will definitely trigger! The pace is extremely fast, giving you absolutely no time to figure things out!"

"And the most crucial point," Ah Cheng raised his voice, "is that the Mandel bricks in the space base don't appear at the start of the game. They only spawn two minutes after the game begins, deep beneath the core area garden!"

On the big screen, the revival lights for the six teams lit up.

"The respawn point has appeared! Let's see where this do-or-die match is headed!" Old Black quickly reported the location.

"Bruce's Squad, resurrected at the West Gate of Tier 1!"

「动霸Tua小队复活在T1的发射区！BSG小队在T2的中控区！78队在T2的牢二！DIA小队在T3的牢大！Y炮成铭队在T3的宿舍区！」

"The match is officially starting!"

With the dull thud of the gate opening, the atmosphere inside the game instantly became extremely tense.

"Let's head straight to the core area." Lü Ang, controlling the Red Wolf, charged out of the west gate first. Their objective this time was extremely clear; they had no intention of getting entangled in any pointless skirmishes with the teams heading towards the T3 team dormitory.

"The Mandel bricks will be applied below the garden in two minutes. We'll go directly from the West Campus to the second floor of the Centrifugal Building and set up our positions in the connecting passage on the second floor of the Centrifugal Buoyancy Building. As soon as the bricks are applied, we can get them immediately." Lu Ang was running wildly while rapidly constructing a tactical map in his mind.

"Understood!" Haotian and Nanbowan followed closely behind.

From God's perspective at this moment, an extremely bizarre and chilling scene appears.

The other five teams on the map seemed to be on the same wavelength, as none of them chose to loot near their own respawn point or engage in the first fight!

The launch site's Tua, the central control unit's BSG, and even the teams far away in the prison and dormitory, all rushed towards the core area of ​​the space base as if they had gone mad!

"My God..." Ah Cheng gasped, staring at the five teams on the map pointing like five sharp knives at the core area. "Five teams! This is an extremely rare instance of perfect teamwork across the entire map! They're not even opening the supply crates in front of them; they're all pushing towards the core area! They're determined to stop Bruce's team from getting the loot!"

"This is the pressure of holding match point!" Old Black shouted. "Bruce's team is the ultimate boss right now. Only by taking them down can the other teams have a chance to continue competing for the championship!"

In-game.
