Chapter 95 Seizing the Initiative

He analyzed his deck, noting that the decks he drafted in the first few rounds leaned towards poison or defensive strategies.

Its main damage output relies on "Poison Sting" and "Poison Mist". It is slow to inflict damage, but it has a certain ability to wear down enemies and can also fight against groups of enemies.

From this perspective, among the three elites in the Dark Harbor map, the one he needs to target the most is "Haunted Eel," which is why he specifically bought a bottle of "Flame Potion."

Then, I also placed the 'Neutralize' card at the campfire in front of the elites, specifically to defend against 'Coral Monsters'.

The first elite was indeed the "Haunted Eel".

Ye Fei attacked with all his might for three rounds, reducing "Haunted Eel" to just over eighty drops of health.

In the fourth round, Ye Fei continued with three attack cards and a bottle of "Flame Potion," reducing "Haunted Eel" to only forty-odd health points.

It just so happened that it interrupted a wave of high damage, entered a stun state, and after two more rounds, it successfully killed the 'Haunted Eel'.

The total battle damage was a little over twenty points, which is acceptable.

The second elite, the "Ghost Eel".

After Ye Fei played a "Poison Mist" card, he used "Poison Sting" and "Neutralize+" to slowly whittle down the opponent's health and successfully won the battle.

After losing another twenty-odd points of health, leaving only a dozen or so drops, I finally entered the second shop.

He saw a green card on the shelf—"Bubbling".

Ye Fei's expression suddenly relaxed, and his hand holding the mouse loosened a bit.

"I've got it now," he muttered to himself.

Arrived at an internet cafe in the United States.

FirstGun didn't take the route of two elites. He chose a path with many unanswered questions, and his progress has already far surpassed Ye Fei's.

He glanced at the progress bar and saw that Ye Fei was still entangled with the elite, and couldn't help but sneer inwardly:

Dark Harbor, as any professional player knows, has elites that are the strongest in the entire map.

Especially the "Coral Monster" and "Ghost Eel," you can't kill them quickly; fighting them head-on will only slow you down.

This "Second Sakura Slash" not only involves striking, but also striking twice at once.

He couldn't think of any reason to go this way, except that he didn't know how to choose a route.

If someone can't even choose a route, it just means they're not very skilled.

"Hmph, not as strong as the legends say." He scoffed inwardly, then looked away and continued clearing the levels.

He quickly reached the first level boss. So far, he's been very lucky, not only obtaining the "Wall Forging" item but also capturing the "Refined Blade," making his sword-forging speed "very fast."

He defeated the first boss, "Soul Fish," in a very short time, and the team cheered.

"This is it!" The bespectacled teammate slammed his hand on the table, making the Coke bottle shake.

"I knew it! What a second cut! It's nothing special. He'll still lose to us." Another team member chimed in.

"I think the second cut wasn't that bad; it was just Elan's own mistake."

"Once I get the bounty, I'm going to get a new graphics card!" another team member said, already imagining it.

The group got more and more into their conversation, and their voices grew louder and louder, immediately attracting the attention of other customers in the internet cafe.

Someone peeked over at the screen and suddenly exclaimed, "My God! It's 'Sakura's Second Slash'!"

That shout drew the attention of the entire internet cafe. People playing games, scrolling on their phones, and queuing to buy drinks all dropped what they were doing and quickly gathered around.

After all, Elan's defeat yesterday caused a huge uproar throughout the United States, and everyone who heard about it wanted to witness it firsthand.

Some people took out their phones and started recording, while others raised their phones and started live streaming, with the title "The First Sniper in the US Shoots Sakura's Second Slash - Live Stream".

The news spread like wildfire across the American internet.

Several live streams with different perspectives were running simultaneously online, and the total number of online viewers quickly soared to over 5.

Elan sat on the table in his university dorm room, a laptop on his lap.

His face was hidden in the shadows, and he ignored the noisy chatter of his roommates next to him.

At that moment, he had only one thought in his mind: yesterday's defeat had caused him to lose face.

He is not willing!

Just now, he saw a live stream notification: "Sniper Sakura's Second Slash!"

Without the slightest hesitation, I immediately clicked on it.

In the video, FirstGun's Crown Prince is already on the third level, with his progress bar far ahead.

As for "Sakura's Second Slash," it's still two small monsters behind in progress, so it's slowly grinding ahead.

The comments section is scrolling wildly:

"That's it? This is the kind of opponent who defeated Elan?"

"The difference in progress is too big!"

"Really? Is this the same second cut? I find it hard to believe."

"Go America's first shot! Teach that Japanese person a lesson!"

Elan's lips twitched; he felt as if he had been slapped again.

Hearing the commotion, several roommates gathered around. Upon seeing the screen, they immediately burst out laughing: "Hey, isn't that the second-best swordsman from Japan who beat EIan?"

"Looks like they're not doing very well, getting picked off by the sniper."

"Elan, tell me quickly, did you deliberately throw that round, or was it a mistake?"

Elan's face flushed red, and he quickly explained, "I wasn't playing seriously that round; I was just playing around!"

"Moreover, my character is countered. These snipers are just standing on my shoulders. They can plan ahead, so of course it's easy for them to fight me."

Ela's roommates didn't respond, their eyes fixed on the screen. Ela also stopped talking, just staring angrily at the screen.

"I want to see just who this Japanese guy is!"

However, seeing his "tortoise-like" progress, he began to have doubts again.

"Is this really the same person?"

In his memory, the "Second Sakura Slash" he encountered progressed at an absurdly fast pace, as if it were on a cheat code, taking off at the same time, and he couldn't catch up no matter how hard he tried.

This person is completely different from the slow-moving one we see now; they don't seem like the same person at all.

He also began to have some doubts:

Could it be that this second player is just an ordinary player with only average skill?

It's just that I was unlucky that day, and I happened to run into my opponent with a perfect hand.

He shook his head, unwilling to think about it any further.

The first shot took down the third-floor boss first, and then waited in the PVP room.

He straightened his back, a smug smile playing on his lips. The surrounding audience cast envious glances, and camera flashes went off incessantly.

"Isn't this progress way behind schedule?"

"I know the result without even looking."

"The first shot in the US! It really was the first shot, and it hit the target on the first try."

Glasses patted FirstGun on the shoulder: "Bro, don't forget to treat us to fish and chips if we win!"

Another teammate next to him suddenly slapped the back of his glasses: "Can't you have some ambition? You're rich and you're still eating fish and chips? Can't you eat something better?"

"So, what do you want to eat?"

The man thought for a moment and said, "I'll say—"

"If you're going to eat something, you should eat sausage and mashed potatoes."

The group fell silent for a moment, then cast disdainful glances at the man.

FirstGun smiled but didn't say anything. He stared at the ID opposite him, already imagining what it would be like to have his name in the news.

A few minutes later, Ye Fei defeated the third-floor boss, and the screen flashed as he entered the PVP room.

FirstGun sat up straight, flexed his fingers, and prepared for battle.

The internet cafe fell silent immediately.

All eyes were focused on the silent hunter character on the screen.

And, above his head, that legendary ID that only appears in the news, the one that defeated the genius Elan:

"Sakura's Second Sword"!
