Wasn't It Obvious at a Glance?
Originally submerged in a sea of bullet comments, Huaguo bullet comments have finally managed to carve out their own niche, with a completely different style.
[Holy crap? The match had only been going on for a short while, and it's already over? (IP from Huaguo)]
[When Xu Xi entered the Dungeon, I had just finished eating Dungeon; when I came out, I still had half my meal left (IP Huaguo)]
[By the way, the tea I brewed is still warm to the touch. (IP Huaguo)]
[Regardless of everything else, let's just shout: 248 is awesome! (IP from Huaguo)]
[The Huaguo have finally paid the price for their arrogance~ (sarcastic. jpg) (IP Huaguo)]
[The price? So it refers to soloing a multiplayer Dungeon? (doge) (IP Huaguo)]
[What is strength? This is strength!! (IP Huaguo)]
Are they confused?
Of course I'm confused!
We were all prepared for this Mixed-Team Competition to be incredibly difficult, but then we found out our teammate had already cleared it?!
What does this feel like?
Just like the whole class was preparing for the final exam, only ten minutes after the papers were handed out, the class's top student stood up, slammed his paper, filled with standard answers, on the podium, and said to the proctor, "Hand in the paper. By the way, that last question, which was way beyond the syllabus, was quite interesting."
Then, the entire classroom was left speechless, along with a "reference answer" that made them question the meaning of life.
But after the initial shock, all that remained was a strange, almost overwhelming excitement that seemed to burst through the screen.
The excitement was no less than when I first learned that the other person had completed a single-player Dungeon in 2 minutes and 48 seconds.
Furthermore, their excitement was even greater because this speedrun was achieved in such an unbelievable and overwhelming manner in a globally watched Mixed-Team Competition.
Meanwhile, Huaguo China Central Television)...
The studio fell silent for a moment after the young man's figure disappeared into the white circle on the big screen.
Even though Jiang Jin and Yao Han are experienced hosts with strong adaptability, they both experienced a rare two-second pause at this moment.
Yao Han quickly composed herself, a smile of shock and joy spreading across her face, "Dear viewers! As you can see, at this very moment, we are witnessing our Huaguo player, Xu Xi, clear the level in just 43 minutes in this 4th Mixed National Team Competition!"
The comments section was equally cooperative, scrolling at a dizzying speed.
[I was stunned, completely stunned. I had just started making my instant noodles when I looked up and saw... what was that light??]
[Who on earth said Xu Xi relied on luck?! A 43-minute solo speedrun of Mixed-Team Competition, and you're telling me he relied on luck??]
[Here's a joke: The Mixed-Team Competition is fierce]
[Xu Xi: Intense? What's intense? I don't know, I just beat it like that!]
Jiang Jin finally couldn't hold back any longer and voiced the huge question that had been nagging at him and the viewers in the Livestream Room: "What is the basis for Xu Xi's seemingly 'inexplicable' way of clearing the game? What is the logical support behind his actions?"
It's no wonder his question was so vague; the young man's every step defied their conventional understanding of how to pass the level.
While they were still analyzing the connection between the background of the Dungeon and the challenges prepared by the Production Team, the other party took a seemingly unrelated route.
Disembarking, watching the ceremony, borrowing a phone, going to the Dungeon, searching the Archives, live streaming...
This series of actions was scattered and disordered, like scattered beads, lacking a clear thread connecting them.
"He must have grasped the crucial point that everyone else overlooked from the very beginning." Lin Miao took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in his heart, his tone filled with an almost certain astonishment. "When the director introduced the background of the Dungeon, he astutely grasped the key details. Later, during that failed blessing ceremony, other players might have only considered the wizard's abnormality as background or a psychological test, but he had probably already locked onto deeper, more subtle information from the wizard."
Luo Zongyun then shared his opinion. "Xu Xi's initial target was probably the Archives. Although I don't know his purpose in going to the Dungeon —perhaps to investigate something, since the Rebel Army Leader committed suicide in the Dungeon is most likely the boss of this Dungeon —the sudden appearance of the Blue-Gray Entity disrupted his plans."
"Judging from their numbers, those Blue Entity are very likely the victims of the massacre. Perhaps it was at this moment that Xu Xi changed his mind. The wizard's abnormal state and his warnings about the danger of the Camp were, without a doubt, a reminder from these Blue Entity."
"Even so, it still can't be guaranteed whether they are friendly or not. Therefore, Xu Xi chose to leave temporarily, because those Blue Entity were obviously preventing him from entering the Dungeon. Note that Xu Xi revealed a very important piece of information here; he used the word 'visit'."
Lin Miao nodded, tacitly continuing the conversation, "The director said that this Camp was once built as an exhibition hall. Xu Xi's two sentences indirectly revealed his identity as a 'tourist,' and as it turns out, this identity is surprisingly effective. And his asking Blue Entity to lead the way was perhaps a test to see if the other party could communicate. Obviously, it could."
"His purpose in going to the Archives was probably for that booklet, which contained detailed information about the victims, including the information of that victim with a special identity."
Luo Zongyun pondered, "But... how did the opponent determine that the breakthrough point was the wizard's 'phone'? And how did they determine that 'live-streaming to seek justice for that special Blue Entity's would be the way to pass the level? We may need to watch the entire Mixed-Team Competition to find out the answers to these questions."
[Thank you all. Without you, I really wouldn't understand why Xu Xi made those moves at all.]
[Xu Xi really not have precognitive abilities? Or could it be like in the novels, that he actually has some kind of cheat code, like a deduction system?]
[What you need to do now is uninstall Yangshizi from your phone.]
[Why does everyone think of the big shot as such a god? Is it possible that he initially tricked—uh—borrowed that wizard's phone just to play around?]
[How could this be... well, you know, it does seem somewhat reasonable.]
[Xu Xi: How do you determine that appealing for justice is a way to pass the test? Isn't it obvious at a glance?]
Although the two experts have pieced together a possible line of reasoning, the young man's actions remain shrouded in mystery.
Many details don't quite make sense.
Because they had no idea that Xu Xi's method of passing through was actually a deviant shortcut.
However, since even the experts struggled with the analysis, the average viewer readily agreed and gave up on trying to make things difficult for themselves.
Anyway, this isn't the first time I've been so shocked by Xu Xi's amazing performance that I've questioned myself.
I'm used to it.
