Outside Help
The results of the first day's team competition surprised everyone.
Through a series of coincidences, the Dragon Nation Server and the Mirror City Server failed to score a single point, while the White Nation and the Black Nation each scored 260 points.
This made the people on the Dragon Nation Server and the Mirror City Server anxious.
The team competition only lasts three days. Given the size of the Interstellar Canyon map, half the distance will take at least 8 hours to traverse.
Unless both players start at the same time and have the same speed, they will both choose to take the straight path.
Otherwise, let alone fighting, it would be difficult to even meet.
If this coincidence happens every day, they're going to lose.
Zhou He was anxious but there was nothing he could do.
Hopefully they can come up with a solution.
Zhou He looked at the minimap of the Dragon Nation Server.
By this time, Falling Leaf and the others had returned to the Guardian Tower.
"How was it?" Iron Blood Blade asked impatiently as he saw everyone return.
The other team's captain, Tang Yuan, shook his head and looked at Iron Blood Blade: "This map is too big. We've been walking around for a whole day, and we haven't encountered a single monster, let alone a person."
Iron Blood Blade's face was grim.
Since no one resurrected from the Guardian Tower today, he guessed that there was probably no battle taking place.
"Commander, what do we do now?"
Iron Blood Blade looked at Falling Leaf.
The Falling Leaf bowed their heads and remained silent.
He deduced from today's route that the canyon map is a square map, with the four corners corresponding to the four server's Guardian Tower, and a cross-shaped route in the middle.
This explains why he encountered another team in the middle of the road.
Logically, they should be able to see other server Guardian Tower by simply following the route to the side tomorrow.
But there are too many variables involved; it's very possible that their arduous journey will only result in them delivering food to another server.
With Biao Ge present, an uncertain factor, Falling Leaf didn't say much, and the atmosphere in the team was silent.
Only the countdown above their heads kept changing.
02:00:00
The first day of the competition has officially ended.
"System: The first day of the Server Fusion Challenge Team Tournament has ended. The combat rate was detected to be below 50%. Each team will receive one opportunity to request assistance from outside the arena. Pressing the 'Assist' button on the Guardian Tower will send a message outwards."
"You only get one chance, so please use it wisely."
Upon seeing this message, Iron Blood Blade was standing right in front of the Guardian Tower, turned around and, sure enough, saw a new "Help" button on the Guardian Tower. He immediately pressed it and selected his friend Zhou He for help.
By the time Biao Ge rushed up, Iron Blood Blade was already typing in a message.
Biao Ge's face was grim; he hadn't expected Iron Blood Blade to use the opportunity to ask for help so decisively.
He thought that Iron Blood Blade would at least consult with others, and that he could take advantage of the opportunity.
By the time the others realized what was happening, they were powerless to do anything about it.
Iron Blood Blade glanced at Biao Ge with a cold smile.
"That's exactly what we're looking for, kid."
With only two days left in the competition, only a fool wouldn't use the opportunity to ask for help.
Iron Blood Blade was unaware that the situation in the Interstellar Canyon could be seen from outside. He sent Zhou He a complete report on the first day of the competition and the difficulties they faced, with Falling Leaf adding a few more details.
After confirming that everything was correct, I selected "send".
Dragon City Observation Group.
Everyone saw the system message and knew they had a chance to exchange messages with the players.
Seeing that Iron Blood Blade had sent a request for help, everyone eagerly began to compile their analysis results.
"Quickly! Compile the important information and have Chief Zhou send it to the athletes."
"Draw a map of the Interstellar Canyon, with detailed annotations."
"And our tactical advice: we don't need to leave so many people Guardian Tower; the players will come back if they die anyway."
"Tell them the Mirror City Server is on the left, try to avoid it, the Black server is on the right, you can fight there!"
The scene became busy. Zhou He remained silent, but sent all the compiled information to Xiao Fan.
Xiao Fan had just finished playing the mini-game and was checking his rewards when he saw the message from Zhou He.
"Seeking help from outside the venue? There's such a thing?"
Xiao Fan was surprised for a moment, but quickly realized that this was an opportunity, a chance for him to take control of the game.
A day has passed in the competition, and the Dragon Nation is behind in Points. He must find a way for them to win.
"I have something to do, please don't bother me."
Xiao Fan gave Qin Muyu a few instructions and began to carefully Analysis Team competition situation.
The information Zhou He sent was very detailed, including a map, directions, and the progress of the first day's exploration and competition.
"No! The strategy is wrong!"
Xiao Fan spoke to himself.
The Interstellar Canyon map is too large; it takes 16 hours just to reach the Guardian Tower of other servers. Players who die will be returned directly to their own server's Guardian Tower.
Unless both sides are overwhelmingly superior, it is absolutely impossible to take down the enemy's Guardian Tower.
And the players don't even have the Interstellar Canyon map?
If the competition lasted a month, Xiao Fan wouldn't have any doubts, but the competition was only three days long. Without any location information, how were the players supposed to fight?
Something's definitely wrong!
Xiao Fan read the rules carefully again, and finally he realized what was wrong!
"Monster!"
The competition rules are clearly stated: killing a monster earns 10 Points. However, yesterday, none of the server players encountered any monsters during their exploration. Is this normal?
"This map looks familiar."
Xiao Fan stroked his chin, finally understanding.
He looked at the map sent by Zhou He. In addition to the "field" shaped road, the Interstellar Canyon also had four areas shrouded in Nebula.
One server corresponds to one Nebula.
Therefore, the monster is in the Nebula Region.
Furthermore, Xiao Fan speculated that killing monsters might grant different effects, such as teleportation, access to the minimap, or changes to location.
This was not only his experience from his previous life, but more importantly, it was the only way the competition could proceed normally.
Without delay, Xiao Fan sent all his guesses to Zhou He.
Zhou He was so shocked by Xiao Fan's analysis that he was speechless.
Xiao Fan's analysis was completely beyond his expectations; it was even an angle he had never considered before.
"Nebula Region..."
Zhou He swallowed hard and looked at the map on the Sky Screen.
Four regions, enveloped by Nebula, lie silently in front of the four server Guardian Tower.
The entire area was bathed in a hazy glow of deep blue and purple, with swirling mist and ethereal beauty, creating a dreamlike and enchanting scene. Yet, deep within, a chilling and oppressive atmosphere emanated, and beneath the magnificent exterior, one could sense an extreme danger.
Not only the players, but they themselves never even considered making it.
He even noticed that when the contestants were exploring, they tried to stay in the center of the path, as if afraid of bumping into the surrounding Nebula.
Xiao Fan, however, told him that these areas were key to the competition.
How confident are you?
Zhou He sent the message, and Xiao Fan replied instantly.
"100%."
Upon seeing this message, Zhou He no longer hesitated.
He believed in Xiao Fan's analytical abilities; if even Xiao Fan didn't believe it, then no one else would know.
