Chapter 131 Feint to the East, Attack in the West

The scene shifts to the Ghost Team, where the four members have arrived at the first question mark.

An event popped up on the screen: "Jungle Maze Adventure". They all unanimously chose the first option and received 50 gold coins.

At this point, they had already obtained more than 200 gold coins, and with the 99 gold coins they started with, they now had more than 300 gold coins.

However, when they entered the next room, it turned out to be a shop.

The commentator's voice rose: "Wow! Team Ghost's luck has struck so quickly! The second question mark is the shop!"

"With the starting golden pearl, they essentially start with over 300 gold coins in the shop!"

"This means that their high-stakes gamble on the 'Golden Pearl' at the start was the right thing to do. Everything is going so smoothly, as if they knew it in advance."

The store shelves unfolded on the big screen, and a discounted "Echo Form" appeared simultaneously in front of the three robot players.

The only warrior player also happened to come across a discounted 'Demon Form' item. Without hesitation, they bought it immediately.

With the remaining money, they bought another relic.

Upon seeing this, the commentator excitedly exclaimed, "The Ghost Team has truly achieved a resounding victory! This 'Echo Form' is one of the most crucial ability cards for Glitchbot!"

"Being able to get this card on the first level is undoubtedly a huge advantage in the early game —"

The commentator was still giving his commentary when the director switched the camera back to the Hundred-Team. They had just finished off a few small monsters and were walking into the first campfire.

All four players kept their decks very streamlined, averaging less than 16 cards each, with significantly more offensive and ability cards than defensive cards.

This time, they adopted an "attack Harbin" strategy, with their "storage fighters" cooperating with each other to concentrate firepower and achieve high output efficiency.

Soon they reached the end of the first level. Bailian walked into an elite and encountered the "Ancient Statue".

The director zoomed in on the scene, and a solemn stone statue appeared, holding a giant scythe.

With the multiplayer mode doubling down, the numbers under the health bar were exceptionally long, instantly creating a tense atmosphere in the audience.

However, the four members of the Hundred-Strike Team coordinated very well. The two crown princes, Chu Liang and Zuo Shi, first used "Meteor Shower" and "Gamma Blast" respectively, stacking three layers of vulnerability and weakness in succession.

Next, Lu Zhen's warrior played a "Dismantle" card twice while in a vulnerable state, precisely reducing its health to half.

A few rounds later, the vulnerability effect continued, and Xingyuan's malfunctioning robot immediately followed up by playing a "Separate" card.

The statue had barely shown its intention to attack before it was killed instantly, before it could even retaliate.

The entire process took less than five rounds, and the four people barely lost any health.

Seeing such exquisite teamwork, the audience couldn't help but admire and scattered applause broke out.

This strategy of "attacking Harbin" to reduce casualties is both reasonable and efficient, something they have almost never seen before in previous competitions.

This is precisely Xingyuan's proud "offensive and killing" strategy, which is a new development in the Dragon Kingdom. It is consistent with his warrior "offensive and killing" strategy, but now it is used in team battles.

The commentator paused for a moment, but quickly recovered: "The team's teamwork was incredibly smooth! A feast for the eyes."

"Their aggressive yet effective playstyle is very rare in professional matches! Could this be a new innovation by their Hundred-League Team?"

The director switched the camera back to the Ghost Team. They were still locked in combat with the elites, and the three robots' "Echo Mode" had not yet fully activated.

Unlike the Hundred-Strike Team, their decks are larger, so each player is cautious, resulting in dispersed firepower and significantly lower output efficiency.

Although the Hundred-Chain Team killed more monsters, they still made a faster progress than their opponents.

On the progress bar, Bailian has already entered the boss room, while Ghost is still fighting in the elite room, and it looks like it will take a while longer.

Ye Fei yawned; he hadn't expected watching the game to be so boring. At that moment, the more he watched, the more he wanted to play a round himself.

He remembered that he had a laptop in his office at the Bailian Esports Building. It wasn't far from there, and he wanted to bring it over.

Xingyuan was still in the game. He opened his phone, just about to leave Xingyuan a text message to let him know.

But then I saw that there were already more than a dozen missed calls recorded on the screen.

"Hmm?" Ye Fei asked, somewhat puzzled.

Upon closer inspection, he noticed that the messages included not only phone calls but also text messages. Without exception, they were all from staff members of the organization.

He suddenly remembered that today was the provincial competition, and the whole team had come to the stadium to watch the game.

-

Apart from the staff, the Bailian Building was almost empty; there were hardly any people left there.

Now, a subconscious thought is pounding in his head: something must have happened there.

"I'm going to the restroom." Ye Fei patted the shoulder of a teammate next to him and got up.

The player said "Oh," and without thinking much of it, continued watching the game without turning his head.

Ye Fei walked quickly out of the stadium, his hands flying across the screen as he typed:

"Olo, wait for me outside. Something's come up, I need to go back to the organization."

As soon as I stepped out the door, a familiar black sedan pulled up right on time at the intersection outside the stadium gate.

Oulo was sitting in the driver's seat, while Xiao Wei sat in the back seat, fully prepared to depart.

"Go back to the organization immediately," Ye Fei said.

Ten minutes later, the car stopped in front of the Bailian Esports Building. Ye Fei opened the car door and quickly walked inside.

The lobby on the first floor was as quiet as usual, with only the receptionist at her post.

When she saw Ye Fei walk in, it was as if she had seen a savior. She immediately stood up from her seat and ran to greet him.

"Boss Ye! You're finally back!" the receptionist said urgently.

"Something's happened! Something's happened! We really don't know what to do without you."

"Take your time," Ye Fei said, stopping in his tracks.

"An hour ago, someone came and said he wanted to challenge Captain Xingyuan," the receptionist said quickly as she followed him inside.

"Since Captain Xingyuan isn't here, he keeps yelling that Bailian Esports isn't worthy of sponsorships and that he's going to ruin our brand —"

"Who is he?" Ye Fei interrupted.

"I don't know, I don't recognize him, he doesn't seem to be a local from Fukuyama. But as for why he just happened to be here and to find Xingyuan, I can't explain it."

Ye Fei's steps quickened: "Where are they now?"

"He's in the training room having one-on-one matches with several athletes who stayed at the facility," the receptionist said.

"With you absent and Captain Xingyuan also absent, the reserve team members have no choice but to fight. But—"

She paused, then continued, "That person has played several matches and hasn't won against anyone yet, and in each match, he's been left far behind in points."

Ye Fei's brain raced: This person came from out of town, specifically to challenge Xing Yuan, and even wanted to ruin his reputation, like he was trying to break into the school.

But what is the purpose of doing this? And who is so confident as to challenge Xingyuan?

He didn't quite understand, but given the urgency of the situation, he had no choice but to go and check it out.

"Where's the security guard? Did you call for him?" Ye Fei asked.

"Sigh, this is exactly what's giving me a headache," the receptionist complained repeatedly.

"That person kept saying that he was an acquaintance of Xingyuan and that he had something to tell Xingyuan. If we kick him out, we can't afford the consequences."

"So I never kicked him out, but he barged into the training room by himself and insisted on seeing Captain Xu."

"But as you know, Captain Xingyuan is in a match, so we couldn't call him over. He just wouldn't leave. That's why we had no choice but to call you over—" the receptionist continued to complain.

Ye Fei didn't answer immediately. He thought for a moment and said to the receptionist, "Okay, I'll go take a look."

"Remember, when you go inside, don't call me 'boss'."

The receptionist paused for a moment, then nodded knowingly.

The two entered the training room.

Ye Fei pushed open the door. The lights in the training room were on, and only three or four people were sitting in front of several computers. They were all training at the institution and were still reserve team members, as they had not gone to watch the game.

They were gathered around one of the computers, their expressions serious, and the situation seemed tense.

The screen displays the results of the match that just ended, showing a significant score difference.

Sitting opposite him was a strange man who looked to be about twenty-five or twenty-six years old.

He had a jacket draped over his shoulders, zipped up, and a black baseball cap on his head that stood out.

The other team members stood to the side, looking dejected and flustered, clearly the opponents who had just been defeated.

"Next." The man in the black hat spoke with obvious impatience.

"You bunch of weaklings, you're not worthy to fight me! Where's Xingyuan? Call him here right now!"
