National destiny: Global tower climbing skills have decreased by 10,000 times.

I highly recommend "National Destiny: Global Tower Climbing Skills Drop by 10,000 Times!" Go directly to the exciting content.

Inside a luxurious villa on the outskirts of a city in the Dragon Kingdom.

Ye Fei sat at his computer desk, holding a toothpick in his left hand. He picked up a piece of golden-yellow salmon sashimi from the Norwegian salmon sashimi platter next to him, dipped it in soy sauce and wasabi, and put it in his mouth.

My right hand is holding the mouse, and the screen displays the international version of Slay the Spire's game interface.

Ouluo stood to the side, holding a bottle of expensive red wine. When he saw that Ye Fei's glass was empty, he quietly went over and refilled it.

For the past five months, Ye Fei's life has been very simple: playing games, eating delicious food, and occasionally arranging some chores for Ou Luo and Xiao Wei.

It was during this period that his hunters and spectators achieved a double 100-win streak, with a win rate approaching 100%.

He also discovered many new technologies, including the development of nosl.

At this moment, he was enjoying sashimi while attempting to achieve his 128th consecutive win in the Hunter SL game.

"The agile strategy and shadow tracking have resulted in another free win. This is boring."

He picked up another piece of salmon and put it in his mouth. After a few quick mouse clicks, the final boss collapsed on screen.

"Ahhh~" He put down the mouse and yawned. He had been playing for three hours straight, all save-scumming games, and hadn't lost a single match.

Now, he is basically completely familiar with Tower 2, and playing save/load (SL) games is practically a game he can't lose.

During this time, as he developed Nosl, he gradually made a new discovery—big decks are not necessarily wrong.

In some matches where there is a lack of streamlined strategies, if the proportion of high-quality cards far exceeds the initial attack and defense, large decks may even have higher stability than small decks.

This idea seems to contradict his previous concept of "simplified decks," but it is actually an extension of the same logic under different conditions, and its essence is still about numbers.

However, compared to smaller decks, larger decks place higher demands on deck mastery, card understanding, and resource management.

Ye Fei lay back in his chair, expressionless. He had won his 128th consecutive victory.

Oulo stood to the side and helped him take away the plate of leftover food.

Ye Fei grabbed him, turned around, and asked:

"How much longer until we reach Xingyuan?"

Xingyuan promised to meet him today, and this is their first meeting. Now, he can't stop thinking about it.

Oro glanced at his watch:

"I'll be there soon."

Not long after, the doorbell rang.

"Hey! What's this?"

When Oulo opened the door, a young man dressed casually appeared outside.

His hair was somewhat disheveled, his face was a little thin, and there were faint dark circles under his eyes, making him look like someone who had been staying at home for a long time.

But the sharp glint in his eyes, with its handsome features, revealed a legendary charm that remained undiminished even after a period of decline.

He is the former professional gamer, the former "King of the Chinese Gaming" - "Xingyuan" Xu Yi.

"Brother Hei Xi, is that you?"

Ye Fei didn't answer immediately, instead sizing up this figure who had once stood at the pinnacle of the Dragon Kingdom. They had long admired each other online, and now he had finally met him in person.

"Yes, it's me!" Ye Fei said excitedly.

"Oh my, I didn't expect you to be so young. I thought you were older than me."

"Come up here and say it! Come up here and say it!"

Ouluo took the laptop bag from Xingyuan and led him upstairs with Ye Fei.

Although the two had never met before, they were like old friends, and they started chatting non-stop as soon as they met.

"Sit down." Upon arriving at the second-floor lobby, Ye Fei pointed to the sofa and sat down beside it.

"What have you been busy with these past few months?"

Xingyuan placed the laptop bag on the coffee table, unzipped it, and took out a laptop.

As he turned on the computer, he took out a small box from his shoulder bag, which contained a custom-made data cable and a small USB flash drive.

"I'm busy with this, you'll see when I take a look." Xingyuan said while connecting the device:

Ouluo had caught up at some point, quickly set out several plates of fruit and pastries and two cups of tea on the coffee table, and then quietly slipped out.

"It's that 'Dragon Slayer List.' I've pretty much figured it out by now. I came to see you today to talk about it."

Ye Fei leaned closer and listened to his introduction.

Xingyuan opened his browser and brought up a page. The screen showed the official website of the Dragon Slayer Ranking, followed by a bunch of data that he had retrieved himself.

"This competition was organized by a secret agency in the United States." His voice was filled with excitement, like a child sharing his new discovery.

"Although it claims to be completely anonymous and registration doesn't require linking any real information, but—"

He tapped a few times on the keyboard, bringing up an IP tracking interface.

"Your IP address will still be exposed when you register an account. If you register in China, they can immediately locate your information in their backend."

Ye Fei propped his head up with his hand, his tone casual: "So, this was a premeditated probe by the Eagles?"

"That's right." Xingyuan leaned back on the sofa, his arms crossed. "So I guessed that using the National Fortune Ticket as bait was to attract top players from all over the world to participate."

"I also suspect that, on the surface, it's a grassroots competition, but in reality, it's the United States probing the current state of esports development in various countries."

"They can use this to understand how many experts a country has, what level of development it has reached, and what new things it is hiding. They can tell at a glance."

"This way, they can formulate targeted strategies for next year's major national competitions, and if any country poses a threat, they can act in advance!"

"No wonder." He picked up a piece of pastry, took a bite, and chimed in, "Besides national institutions, what other entity has the resources to use national fortune vouchers as rewards to organize competitions free of charge?"

Xingyuan nodded, still excited: "But that doesn't stop us from having fun!"

He turned around, typed a few more times on the keyboard, and a window popped up on the screen, looking like a program's console with dozens of lines of code scrolling across it.

"I specifically wrote this over the past few months." Xingyuan pointed to the screen:

"You can think of it as a 'ghost account.' As long as you install it on your computer, your real IP address won't be revealed during registration. And—"

"A 'ghost account'?"

Xingyuan nodded, a hint of smugness on his face, and continued to explain:

"You can choose any IP address you want to display! Japan, Korea, Russia, Germany... take your pick!"

Ye Fei's eyes lit up for a moment, then he suddenly realized and pointed at him, laughing:

"Ah! I see, it's an illusion, isn't it? You've got some clever tricks up your sleeve!"

"Haha, that's exactly right! We can then disguise ourselves as people from other countries to compete!"

"In this way, the IP address traced by the United States won't point to China, but rather..."

The words were left unsaid, but the meaning was clear: if the two of them were to disguise themselves as people from other countries and be mistakenly overestimated, it would definitely be enough to attract the attention of the United States.

At that time, the strategic focus will no longer be on China, but will shift to other countries.

Ye Fei suddenly kicked out his legs and laughed loudly: "Good stuff! You really have the skill."

Xingyuan didn't hold back either. He copied the installation package from the USB drive and quickly installed the "ghost account" tool on Ye Fei's computer.

The settings interface popped up, and Xingyuan typed a bunch of numbers, switching the proxy line to the node he had prepared in advance.

"Alright," Xingyuan waved his hand, "I'm going to be a Korean citizen now, you go be a Japanese soldier!"

He opened the registration page, created a new account, and entered 'Sumyum' as the ID.

On the nationality settings page, he selected the flag of Goryeo (Korea).

Ye Fei looked at the screen with a mischievous grin. After thinking for a moment, he also opened the registration page.

Then enter the ID: 『Sakura no Dier Dao』.

Nationality: Japan (Sakura).

"Start!" Ye Fei shouted.

Xingyuan glanced at his ID and almost lost his composure. Ye Fei adopted a matter-of-fact expression:

"What? Isn't that unreasonable?"

"You're a genius," Xingyuan commented, watching him press the confirm button. The page redirected, displaying "Registration successful."

"So, are we ready to start the killing?"

Ye Fei picked up the mouse and opened the Dragon Slayer Ranking competition page, where he roughly learned about the competition rules.

It's a single-player challenge with no level or character restrictions, and the mode is a matchmaking PVP battle.

He decisively chose the "Silent Hunter".

"Start the killing!"
