Am I dating Kabao?

[Holy crap, Boss Caro, don't play around!]

[Explain what? Go fight her.]

[What's going on? Why do these villains always talk so much when they're about to win?]

[It's easy to tell others what to do, but would you jump up and shout while playing Dou Dizhu if you got a hand full of bombs?]

[Uh... Boss Caro is just a child, after all.]

"Your gardener and kelp farmer started to falter when I controlled the Black Scale Patrol and the Gardener Captain. That's right, you succeeded in summoning them by relying on the captain at first, but they are slaves. Without a manager watching over them, they won't work. And you actually used such monsters for a sacrifice." Caroso smiled.

"Pfft... Hahahaha..." Bai suddenly burst out laughing. "Although I don't know what card you used to control my Naga Captain, little one, aren't you a bit too confident? Don't forget, I am your teacher. Do you think I wouldn't know what you know? What you're describing is indeed a possible scenario."

"But, the one summoned as a sacrifice was a Naga Elder. If the Captain could control them, wouldn't a stronger Naga Elder be able to?"

[Is this... him going into bullshit mode?]

[Boss Caro, you can't out-bullshit Bai. Don't forget, Bai is only seventh-tier now, but she's not far from eighth-tier!]

[Bai's bullshit has a bit of 'as spoken, so it becomes' power. You don't have that.]

Just then, Caroso's entire body suddenly burst into flames.

His armor, belt, shoes, and pauldrons, as well as his knee pads, seemed to have gained fiery patterns.

"Are you stalling for time?" Bai's eyes narrowed.

"Otherwise, who would talk nonsense during a fight?"

After speaking, Caroso charged at Bai again.

As Caroso entered the small pool, the entire pool began to heat up, looking like it was about to boil.

Caroso's speed was more than double what it was before, showing that he was stalling for time to enhance his explosive speed and shorten the distance to Bai.

At this moment, the eyes of the two epic Naga suddenly regained clarity.

In an instant, Bai felt that she had regained control over these two Naga.

A normal person would definitely sacrifice these two captains at this point to strengthen the Naga Elder, as these two small Naga were slow at casting spells.

However, Bai felt a sense of danger in her heart. Her sixth sense told her that she couldn't sacrifice them, or she would lose!

The Naga Elder decisively stood in front of Bai, raising the trident in her hand. Mysterious runes lit up one after another on the trident.

Caroso charged resolutely towards the Naga Elder.

Just then, a purple card appeared in his hand.

[Name: Silence is Golden]

[Type: Spell]

[Stars: 2]

[Rarity: Purple Epic]

[Class Restriction: Priest]

[Description: Silences a follower below four stars, preventing it from using any spells.]

A white magic circle appeared above the Naga Elder. She suddenly seemed to have her magic power drained, almost making her spit blood from the strain.

Bai's expression changed.

Caroso leaped forward and slashed at her.

The Naga Elder instinctively swung her trident, striking at Caroso.

BOOM!

Who says mages can't fight in melee?

Her trident collided with Caroso's sword, and the impact of their strength sent the surrounding water splashing away.

As the water left the Naga Elder, she seemed to wilt significantly.

The energy from all of Caroso's armor spread towards the Sword of Flames.

A massive fiery whirlwind, centered on Caroso's sword, swept through the area.

The two epic Naga stared blankly at the giant fiery whirlwind, their eyes filled with a hint of fear.

Within the fiery whirlwind, it seemed as if countless souls were wailing.

A full five seconds later, Caroso landed on the ground.

He held his sword, breathing heavily.

The armor and other items on his body had disappeared.

The Naga Elder had also disappeared.

Bai stood there, looking at Caroso with a complicated expression. "If I had let those two sacrifice themselves just now, would you have been able to increase your speed? A sacrifice would create a one to two-second opening. Would that be enough time for you?"

"Yes," Caroso didn't deny it.

"Even though I didn't sacrifice them based on my combat intuition, you still turned the tide of the battle with a single card." Bai let out a long sigh. "I lost. I used power beyond the third-tier just now. That sword strike of yours could have fought against a fourth-tier."

[Holy crap, I misunderstood Boss Caro.]

[Damn, so that's what happened?]

[Does Boss Caro have such a strong combat sense?]

[Otherwise, why would he keep bullying us...]

[If those three secret cards hadn't worked back then, Boss Caro would have fought Kare with this magic sword. I can't tell who would have won.]

Although netizens possessed knowledge from across eras and knew how to use countless cards.

In reality, however, Caroso was the one on the battlefield. They could only increase Caroso's win rate, but they might not surpass Caroso in certain decisions.

After all, the two sides were different.

Netizens were players. If they lost this time, they could try again. For example, with that Silence card, they realized it was useless. After the mage started using melee attacks, they would go back, adjust their card deck, and try again.

But for Caroso, losing meant losing. There was no chance to try again, so every decision was crucial.

Caroso was a born warrior. His combat sense was worthy of being the players' constant opponent.

"Teacher went easy on me," Caroso said humbly. "If Teacher hadn't used the Naga deck, I might have been the one to lose."

"I went easy on you, and by chance, I ran into something that counters fire. I guess that doesn't count," Bai stretched, her voluptuous figure completely revealed. "You are indeed very powerful. Today, you showed two cards I've never seen before, cards that could even be said to defy common sense. I know nothing about these cards. Even if I went all out, I might have lost to you at the same level. Tsk, what an interesting kid. I'm becoming more and more interested in you."

[???]

[Damn, am I going to fall for Boss Caro?]

[Auntie Bai, don't you go after young talent!]

[Hiss, if Bai and Baby Caro start dating, does that mean I'm dating Baby Caro?]

[Why do I feel a little excited thinking about it.]

[I never realized I was so sexy before.]

Just as the netizens started shipping them, a figure flew towards Caroso.

Thump!

Caroso turned his head and saw Nimel lying on the ground, struggling to get up with a pained expression.

Caroso's gaze sharpened. Following her direction, he saw the Vice Principal walking towards them step by step, his hands behind his back, with five lightning orbs swirling around him.

"Weren't you paying attention to this battlefield?" the Vice Principal said coldly. "You dare to get distracted while fighting me? Are you looking for death?"
