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

No matter when or where, ( ) will always be your most loyal reading companion.

The chef gripped the mouse tightly and quickened his pace. He had a good deck draft and quickly drew several key red and blue cards.

The switching between ice and fire was executed flawlessly, but the progress gap remained unclosed.

On the second floor, the chef overtook a small monster with a perfect triple transformation, and the chat erupted in cheers.

But Kimson quickly overtook him again.

On the third floor, Kimson had already finished his battle and gained the initiative, and was waiting for him in the PVP room when the chef had just finished half of the battle.

A prompt appears on the screen:

Your opponent has completed the level and is waiting for you to enter PvP.

The chef took a deep breath and sped up; the real test was just beginning.

One minute later, he finished defeating the boss and immediately went to the PVP room.

Kimson's malfunctioning robot stands opposite, with a bright Korean flag icon displayed above its head, and its deck and hand clearly visible.

After only a few rounds of fighting, Kimson displayed completely unexpected skills.

His playing style was something Cai Chu had never seen before, and the viewers in the live stream were even more unfamiliar with it.

Unlike the mainstream balanced ball decks in China, his deck contains almost no ball cards except for a few ice hockey cards, and he doesn't focus on balls.

In the early stages, he used only a small number of pucks for defense, playing a steady and methodical approach, which seemed like he was stalling for time.

But the situation changed instantly after he used a "Surge", a "Mad Science" card, and a "Power Potion" to activate it.

Strength increased by 6, and Agility by 4. Next, his playing style completely changed—

The initial focus shifted to defense, which then transformed into a relentless and intense offensive.

Several zero-cost attack cards and multi-hit attack cards were played repeatedly, such as "Disturbing the Momentum," "Seize the Opportunity," "Peck," and "Claw Strike"...

Attack cards came raining down like a machine gun. Since they cost 0 mana, many cards could be played in one turn, and the damage numbers above the player's head kept piling up.

"It's a fourth-generation fighter jet!"

Suddenly, someone shouted in the live chat, adding a "highlighted comment." Although it was just a guess, it instantly caused a stir among other viewers.

"Huh? A fourth-generation fighter jet? Really? You mean I saw a fourth-generation fighter jet with my own eyes?"

"I don't know if it's a fourth-generation fighter, but I've never seen this kind of fighting style before."

"Absolutely! This novel approach definitely qualifies it as a fourth-generation fighter."

Is anyone screen recording?

"Holy crap, it's really a fourth-generation fighter!"

'………'

The news spread like wildfire, quickly reaching every corner of the Chinese online esports community.

Before long, the news of "Cook's chance encounter with Kim Seung-woo - a battle against a Korean fourth-generation fighter jet" even made it into e-sports news.

Suddenly, his live stream was flooded with viewers, including professional players, team managers, and esports media...

One by one, tagged IDs appeared in the audience list, creating a lively atmosphere, and the number of online viewers in the live stream immediately surged by tens of thousands.

Some people are recording the screen, some are taking screenshots, and some are frantically forwarding it in group chats.

"Quick look! The novice chef is matched with a top player from Korea and encounters a fourth-generation fighter jet!"

South Korea's fourth-generation fighter jet tactics revealed!

……

At this moment, in the training room of the Zixia team.

Captain Ling Xiao looked solemn; Zixia's decline had left him feeling very down lately.

But they did not give up their confidence and trained silently every day, studying tactics.

Now, they are also preparing to participate in the "Dragon Slayer Ranking," treating it as a real-world opportunity to simulate a national destiny competition.

"Comrades, although our Zixia cannot go to the battlefield of national destiny this year."

"But we are still a top-tier professional team in the country, representing the highest level of esports in China!"

"This 'Dragon Slayer Ranking' attracts top players from around the world, including professionals, providing us with a great opportunity to learn and grow!"

However, just now, he suddenly saw the messages exploding in the group chat and was stunned for a moment.

He then immediately clicked the link, entered the chef's live stream, and shouted to his teammates:

"Come and see!"

The other team members quickly gathered around.

Over these few rounds, 'Kimson' barely put up any defense, or even any defense at all, unleashing full firepower with 0 cost and multiple highly efficient chain attacks.

With his exceptionally high stats of 6 Strength and 4 Agility, coupled with his already high total health, he relentlessly sacrificed his health to launch attacks, making his offensive increasingly fierce.

The chef has already used up his key cards, and the triple transformation is becoming increasingly unstable, gradually becoming unsustainable.

On the screen, the viewer of the chef had only a sliver of health left, while the malfunctioning robot 'Kimson' still had more than twenty health points.

The chef was still struggling, but everyone could see that the outcome was already predetermined.

With the final blow, the chef's last line of defense was breached, and the character fell to the ground.

The words "Defeat" popped up on the screen.

The chef lay back in his chair, silent. This was his first defeat on the "Dragon Slayer List".

The comments continued to scroll wildly, falling like a falling building, flashing by so quickly that the words were almost illegible.

Ling Xiao stared at the ID 'Kimson' on the screen, his expression complex.

This old rival on the national sports field still exerts the same pressure on them as ever.

The so-called fourth-generation fighter jet, apart from a few key cards and operations, didn't get a single inch of wind.

"Was the video recorded?"

"It's been recorded. Someone in the community recorded the whole thing. I'll contact them now."

"What a pity, we're still a step too late. Let's try to get in touch; we can negotiate the price!"

"Okay." The team members immediately got to work.

Ling Xiao stood up from the chair and paced around the room a few steps with his hands behind his back.

This year's situation is even more severe than he had anticipated.

Upon arriving at the Qingxiao team's headquarters, just minutes earlier, everyone had been looking serious, intently watching the live stream on the big screen.

Kimson played several more attack cards in a row, and one of them, "Peck," became 8 x 3 damage with the added power of 6.

"Write this down! Study it carefully!" Xuan Niao shouted. One teammate kept holding up his phone to record the screen, while another teammate made notes in his notebook.

"Next year's battleground for our nation's destiny—this is our opponent! We must prepare now, conduct thorough research, and develop effective countermeasures!"

There were several other team members nearby, each with their own screen open, watching several live streams, all featuring well-known domestic streamers.

Once any movement of an international professional player is detected, it will be immediately projected onto a large screen for everyone to watch.

So far, they have "witnessed" a total of three suspected international professional players: two from the United States, one from Germany, and now a player from South Korea.

"Keep a close watch, and report immediately if you spot anything!" Xuan Niao ordered again from behind.

"Yes, Captain Xu!"

Meanwhile, inside an e-sports hotel in Korea, the scene was completely different.

"Haha, we won again!"

"Brother Jin, you're amazing! You've only been here a short time and you've already defeated two experts."

"A Japanese just arrived, and now a Chinese has come. We've run into Brother Jin, who's come to his death."

"Korea's esports scene is the best in the world. Anyone who disagrees should ask our Kim Jong-un!"

Jin Shengwu listened to these "offerings" without expression, and without engaging in any small talk, he immediately started the next round.
