Chapter 84 Outbreak

Taking advantage of the cooldown of his Backwater skill, Jiang Heyi launched a fierce attack without regard for his own strength.

After countless clashes, the evenly matched swordsman's incomplete evolved form felt numbness and excruciating pain in his wrist. He gritted his teeth, trying to withdraw from this brutal contest of pure strength, devoid of any skill.

Jiang Heyi's attempt to adjust his pace and dodge out of the battle was instantly seen through. Like a mad dog, he abandoned his central defense and charged forward, forcing him to instinctively slash at his undefended chest. Then, with a flick of his wrist, he parried with a blade.

The two sides then began another round of brutal knife fighting.

Jiang Heyi has always been a greedy person; he'll be greedy to the point of death as long as he doesn't die from it.

His aggressive, sweeping style of play, reminiscent of his use of plain fries, is also the style he employs when tackling most games.

However, as the guild leader, in a PVE mode where everyone just wants to rush in, he had to change his gaming habits and choose to play conservatively.

Now that he has lost half of his teammates, every step he takes is like walking a tightrope on the edge of a cliff, and he has put aside most of his concerns.

The most important point is...

He has a natural aversion to the phrase "anyone with hands can do it".

The memory of being criticized for his high blood pressure by online gamers disgusted him.

Since you say it's something anyone with hands can do, let's have a real contest that anyone with hands can do.

Forget about skills, let's rely purely on willpower!

The incomplete evolver clenched his teeth, his eyes bloodshot.

Each clash between the short and long swords produced a series of sparks, and the slightly tilted, trembling blades reflected his ferocious face.

In action-based PVP games, there is a concept of game rhythm, and the person who masters the rhythm will have more initiative.

A seemingly insignificant change of strategy or a minor movement can turn the tide and reverse a losing streak.

Cyber ​​Potato has now taken control of the pace.

As Cyber ​​Potato said, he didn't use any magic or skills at all, and he even turned off weapon blessing on his own.

Now, all he does is raise his knife and slash down hard, forcing himself to respond with a knife.

Like a sudden storm, the attacks were fast-paced, landed steadily, and were incredibly powerful, leaving no time to think. All that remained was a hurried and numb response, following the instincts of my body to strike back.

Knowing full well that they were at a disadvantage, the incomplete evolved being clenched their molars tighter and tighter.

"Why!"

The rage burning in his heart manifested as three words that leaked from between his teeth, only to be swallowed up by the clanging of the knives.

Why!

He shouted inwardly.

The incomplete evolvers never understood what was influencing the deep logic of the Stars of Proof PvP.

A game that allows players to play in their dreams must involve the detection and collection of players' biological data. This point has been controversial since the game's pre-launch phase and remains a key point of discussion among conspiracy theorists.

A graduate of a prestigious university, employed by a well-known large enterprise, he is successful in his career and has excellent physical fitness due to his long-term physical training.

He was confident that he could crush more than 8% of the players in terms of intelligence, reaction speed, physical fitness, and combat experience.

But that's not the case at all.

During the PVE phase, he witnessed several people he knew in real life perform actions that were completely inconsistent with their physical abilities and individual experiences in reality.

During the sparring match, he clearly felt that he was at a disadvantage.

If the game really does have a hidden panel that collects the player's biological information, how could he possibly lose to a worthless office worker who is inferior to him in every aspect?

Those who are already skilled fighters in real life should naturally become well-known athletes.

But this is not the case.

If there is no data collection, as the game says, everyone who enters the game is like a reborn baby. What replaces the "experience" from when you are awake and the instincts formed over time?

He doesn't agree!

They were mercilessly crushed by the Chosen of Khorne.

He was ridiculed by Jiang Heyi.

The incomplete evolver's rage reached its peak.

"what are you!"

The moment the words left his mouth, the flames swelled in his chest and surged through his limbs and bones, while burning hatred rose in his mind like smoke.

The incomplete evolved being, who was at a disadvantage, suddenly felt that Jiang Heyi's blurry, fast-moving blade shadows became clearer, and Jiang Heyi's movements gradually slowed down.

He parried with his sword, and with a slight shake of the hilt, the blade trembled slightly, deflecting Jiang Heyi's powerful and heavy attack.

The incomplete evolved being trapped in the opponent's attack rhythm instantly broke free.

With red eyes, he sneered and resentfully, "What are you so arrogant about? What are you so arrogant about!"

After disrupting Jiang Heyi's rhythm with a horizontal slash and a cross cut, he immediately lunged forward, using Jiang Heyi's style to vent his dissatisfaction with one powerful slash after another.

"What sense of existence are you looking for, someone who's never won in their entire life and is on the fringes of society?"

"A jobless loser, or a low-level worker with a fixed salary and a dead-end job?"

"What's with all the arrogance and swagger of a guy who's having a bad life!"

Upon hearing this, the original-flavored fries that had slit the archer's throat turned around abruptly. Listening to the incomplete evolved being launch a personal attack on Jiang Heyi in the form of an outburst of personal superiority, she narrowed her eyes, her gaze chillingly cold.

It wasn't a cosplay that conveyed the right emotions.

The guy who was initially dominating him retaliated with fierce moves, and the other guy kept spewing obscure words. Jiang Heyi wasn't angry; instead, he couldn't help but laugh.

He struggled to pry open the blade of the incomplete evolved being, and said mockingly, "What are you hysterically fuming about?"

"What's wrong with this aggressiveness? What made you abandon your pretense?"

At first, Jiang Heyi thought the other party was only taking sides because of his position as president, but he didn't expect that he was a superior dog who liked to pretend to be someone else and create a persona. His words at this moment were a true expression of his feelings.

Jiang Heyi had encountered this kind of person in college. They were two-faced, seemingly humble and easygoing to everyone, but in reality, they looked down on everyone.

You never know what you might do to offend him and get stabbed in the back.

Having learned his lesson once, Lai had a keen sense for this type of person.

"You've really received a good education. Getting angry and resorting to personal attacks after being exposed is also part of your education?"

"No need for you to worry, I'm living a very comfortable life. It's an undeniable fact that some people can't defeat Khorne and choose to vent their evil anger on their own."

Jiang Heyi's smile made the incomplete evolver feel humiliated.

"Things whose parents died suddenly."

A certain emotion, hidden beneath the playful smile, burst forth in Jiang Heyi's eyes.

In the blink of an eye, an invisible blade of energy tore through the incomplete evolved being's leather armor.

A very basic skill for martial artists: the Cross Slash.

Swift as lightning, powerful as thunder.

The remaining consciousness of the incomplete evolved being stared blankly at its shattered longsword, its face filled with disbelief.

What's going on with this force...?

He didn't understand it until he turned into particles of light and left the scene.

The Immaculate Tyrant devoured two people alive.

Plain fries easily defeat the sharpshooter.

Even the bed, whose skills were countered, managed to kill one person through kiting tactics.

In the blink of an eye, Gaia's consciousness was completely extinguished.

The integral, whose virtual and real boundaries are nearly cleared, is then replenished.

Original Flavor Fries walked up to Jiang Heyi, put his hand on his shoulder, and hesitated to speak.

"Are you alright?" Looking at him, who was panting heavily, that was the only question she could think of for the moment.

Jiang Heyi's somewhat gloomy expression instantly switched to a smile the moment he heard the sound of the original flavor fries.

"Don't worry, you're just a little tired. You'll recover after a short rest."

"We've almost reached 8 points again, we need to spend them quickly."

"French fries, wow, you finished them so quickly."

"Wow, you're amazing, even with your skill set countered, you still managed to turn the tables!"

The plain fries pursed their lips and said nothing more.

No one expected that Gaia Consciousness, which had performed brilliantly in the preliminary rounds and was highly anticipated by many viewers, would become the first guild to be eliminated, which was beyond the expectations of many people before the competition.

The fact that they were eliminated by the even more depleted lineup of the Virtual and Real Boundaries team made this battle incredibly talked about.

Having just acknowledged the Gaia Consciousness Guild as their father, and hoping they would eliminate certain individuals at the boundary between the real and the virtual, I immediately fell silent when things turned sour—as long as I remain silent, there will be no unfavorable situation.

Commentator Niu Dongdong was initially not optimistic about the boundary between reality and illusion, but after being reminded by the audience that there was a Tyrant without filth, he immediately changed his mind, which led to him being jokingly called an "amateur commentator".

No commentator could have predicted that the two guilds would suddenly engage in a deadly battle.

The invited commentators were all carefully selected by the Chinese server agent of StarCraft, so their professionalism goes without saying. Watching the qualifying videos before the competition is a must.

There might be friction between guilds during the first 12 hours, but it's rare for a fight to the last person to take place without considering the survival of the last one.

Not to mention that this is a competition for a spot in the World Championship, where 60 teams will be narrowed down to 2. The brutal selection process will make each team extremely cautious when making their decision.

Combining the nearly one-minute conversation between the two sides before the battle began, and their fierce performance once the battle started...

What did they say that led to this situation?

Niu Dongdong guessed that the boundary between reality and illusion would lead to victory, but he really didn't expect that they would win every 3v3 match.

The original flavor fries and the blanket demonstrated personal abilities far superior to their opponents, a pure and simple toy.

The only suspenseful moment was the close-quarters combat between the two presidents.

Judging from the current situation, it's hard to say who's better.

For some unknown reason, Cyber ​​Potato suddenly turned off weapon blessing and faced the imperfect evolver with a blank slate.

The pure contest of wills thrilled the audience, and this Khorne God-chosen life-or-death battle was the most eye-catching.

However... the two kept moving their mouths and their expressions changed constantly during the fight, as if it were a continuation of their conversation a minute before the battle began.

Jiang Heyi's lightning-fast strike decided the outcome, but the duel between the two was far from over.

The discussion process, especially the audience's curiosity about the dialogue, was clearly more important than the final result.

“I know you’re all anxious and want to know the content of the conversation, but don’t rush, it won’t help. The official source doesn’t provide the audio recordings of the conversation,” Niu Dongdong reminded you. “Although I’m also very eager to know the details.”

"Niu Dongdong, you're a good-for-nothing. You can't read minds."

"This viewer isn't very friendly. After you wake up, come to my live stream to claim your 365-day ban gift package."

Chapter 85 Choice is more important than effort

The misfortune at the boundary between reality and illusion continued. After eliminating Gaia's consciousness, they once again found themselves in the predicament of not being able to find a guide.

In order to further enhance the competitiveness during the main competition, the number of guides spawning in the competition venue is twice that of the preliminary rounds. Although their lifespan is shorter, the spawning frequency is much higher.

Many guilds either sense the presence of the guide during battles or happen to pass by while assisting NPCs with certain quests.

The boundary between real and virtual is an exception.

Viewers could clearly see that whenever the boundary between the virtual and real worlds was about to approach a guide, either the guide would refresh and leave, or the information source would suddenly stop, turn around, and head elsewhere.

Viewers who support the boundary between reality and illusion couldn't help but cheer with "Wow~~~" whenever they saw this, but in the end, they just missed each other.

Once or twice is fine, but in the first 8 hours of the game, Niu Dongdong and the audience counted that the boundary between reality and illusion had narrowly missed the guide 12 times.

While most guilds had already completed two to three rounds of power conversion, they were still standing still.

The intensity of combat at the boundary between the real and the virtual is also quite astonishing.

By the 10th hour, the power of the Demon-Suppressing Insect Swarm had significantly increased, and some guilds that had struggled to convert their combat strength into combat power were clearly feeling the pressure.
