Second half.
The intermission prompt sounded, and the four figures moved their bodies.
The colorful world seemed to have been pressed on the pause button, and only the unsuppressible comments in the audience surged like a tide.
"9 to 3! This advantage is big enough!"
"As long as you stay steady, you can win in any game in the second half, right?"
"Of course, senior Xia Yuan and senior Feng Luan are both top players, can they still be defeated?"
"Then let me ask you, how can Feilongqian lose? Just wait and count the chips."
"..."
Mo Shiyu was sitting in the front row of the auditorium, with his hands clasped together on his chin, but his brows were slightly frowned.
Although she was leading by a large margin in the first half, the scene in the seventh inning when she was tricked by "Old Six" made her feel a little uneasy.
The BOSS named Game feels so weird.
Su Yue stared closely at the figure in the center of the field, trusting but also a little nervous.
In the center of the card table, Xia Yuan and Feng Luan stood face to face, talking in low voices.
"Kunkun, we switched sides in the second half. The CT side has a huge advantage on this map."
Xia Yuan gestured with his finger in the void, "We each guard a point, you A and I B, or you B and I A."
"If one side is in trouble, the other side will provide support and return to defense."
This is an extremely stable and even somewhat conservative tactic.
But for two masters with accurate marksmanship and top-notch awareness, there is no need for fancy coordination.
Working independently and not hindering each other is often the most efficient choice.
Feng Luan nodded, a hint of appreciation flashed in his beautiful eyes:
"That's fine. You don't have to worry about other things and just focus on guarding your own three-quarters of an acre of land."
The exchange between the two was brief, and their voices were blocked by the rules of the realm, so no one outside could hear them.
On the opposite side, Game just smiled and patted Justice Enforcer's thick shoulder and whispered a few words in his ear.
Justice Enforcer's golden face was still filled with clear stupidity, and he nodded blankly from time to time.
It is completely unclear whether this tactic is "gather at point A, rush B" or "gather at point B, rush A".
This kind of information asymmetry is Playing with the World's most cruel fairness and tactical mutual blindness.
The short break is over.
The first game of the second half begins.
Justice Enforcer finally learned how to walk in this virtual world and no longer wandered around like a drunkard like he did in the first half.
He held the pistol USP, and walked towards the B-package point that had haunted him in his dreams again.
"Bang!"
A crisp gunshot.
Feng Luan has not even moved, it is just behind the classic box at point B.
A bullet accurately penetrated Justice Enforcer's head.
[Justice Enforcer has been killed by Feng Luan]
However, the moment Justice fell to the ground, a Black Shadow flashed out from the gap in the side like a ghost.
"Bang! Bang!"
Two bursts were fired, and the bullet accurately hit Feng Luan's head.
[Feng Luan has been killed by Game]
Game put away his gun, looked at the kill prompt that lit up on the screen, and typed "(⌒▽⌒)" on the public screen.
Mo Shiyu couldn't help but clenched his fists, "This Game is such a thief. He always lets Justice explore the way while he hides behind to replenish his guns!"
There was a sigh in the audience.
"It's a shame to lose. It would be great if senior Feng Luan reacted faster."
"There is no way, Game took the position first, and senior Xia Yuan hasn't come back yet. This is a disadvantage."
Xia Yuan had just returned to defense from point A and rushed to the door of point B. He eliminated each point one by one and was easily stolen by Game.
He looked at the black and white screen with no expression on his face.
The disadvantage of returning to defense makes it very difficult to fight guns.
This tactic of "sandbags to open the way and the BOSS to fire back" is simple and crude, but extremely effective.
In the next few rounds, the script is almost exactly the same.
Justice Enforcer is like a tireless human shield, charging forward and attracting firepower.
Game is like a ghost, wandering on the edge of the battlefield.
As soon as Xia Yuan or Feng Luan shows up, or is entangled by Justice, his accurate recharge will be delivered immediately.
The score began to be eroded little by little.
9:4.
9:5.
9:6.
The cheers in the audience gradually subsided, replaced by an uneasy restlessness.
"Something's wrong, why does this tactic look so familiar?"
"Isn't this a bit similar to the tactics used by senior Feng Luan in the first half? I didn't expect Game BOSS to use it on us in turn!"
"It's so shameless! But I have to say, it's really useful!"
"I have to say that Game's level is indeed amazing."
"..."
Seeing the advantage disappearing little by little, Xia Yuan decisively changed his strategy.
"Kunkun, don't stay alone."
"What's wrong?" Feng Luan asked.
"This Justice is just a moving 2 million chip. It would be a huge loss to use him as bait."
Xia Yuan's eyes were cold, "We block the points, with a 50/50 probability. If the bet is right, we will make money. If the bet is wrong, we will go back to defense."
This is a gamble, and it is the only solution without perfect information.
The next game became extremely anxious.
Both sides go back and forth, with marksmanship, consciousness, and luck intertwined.
Sometimes Xia Yuan and Feng Luan bet in the right direction and win easily;
Sometimes the bet is wrong and you can't defend yourself in time, so you can only watch the bag being planted.
The score keeps rising all the way up, alternately.
When "11:11" was displayed on the big screen, the entire world fell into silence.
The huge 6-point advantage in the first half was gone.
"Oh my God... it's 11 to 11."
"His strength is beyond words, and the score was quickly tied."
"Who would have thought that, leading 9-3, we would be tied in the end!"
"And he also brings Justice with him... if he fights alone, the game might be easier."
"This Game is really terrifying. If Xia Yuan and Feng Luan are top professional players, then Game is definitely at the TOP1 level!"
"I can only say that Game is a bad guy at heart, Magaru Honmaru."
"..."
Su Yue Looking at the big screen, my palms were covered in cold sweat.
She finally understood why Feng Luan had been chasing him for decades but failed to succeed.
In the absolute rule of "Playing with the World", the other party is God.
Even if it's Xia Yuan, if you want to win, you must put in twelve points of concentration.
"Pause."
Feng Luan took a deep breath and applied for a tactical timeout.
Her and Xia Yuan's avatars appeared on both sides of the big screen.
"Little Xia Yuan, what should I do?" Feng Luan looked at the score on the screen:
"The opponent has played point A three times in a row. According to common sense, this hand should be transferred to point B, right?"
This is the most basic game theory.
If you make the same choice three times in a row, there is a high probability that the direction will be changed the fourth time to prevent the opponent from targeting you.
Xia Yuan shook his head, with deep eyes, "No, the more times like this, the more he dares to hit A."
"You mean..." Feng Luan was stunned.
"Guard point A." Xia Yuan said calmly, "Surprise the enemy and attack them unprepared."
"Since everyone thinks he will switch to B, then he dares to continue hitting A. What we have to do is to press point A to death."
Feng Luan was silent for two seconds, and then smiled, "Okay, I listen to you, you can always surprise me anyway."
Tactics finalized.
The game begins.
Justice Enforcer took Game and rushed towards point A once again.
Just as Xia Yuan expected.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
In the corridor at Point A, gunfire was everywhere.
Xia Yuan occupied the most advantageous gun position and calmly harvested the life of Justice Enforcer, the "pathfinder dog".
Then he started a gunfight with Game who came in with a replacement gun.
The two gun lines intersected in the narrow space. In the end, Xia Yuan's bullet penetrated Game's head first.
[Xia Yuan kills Game]
[Round victory]
On the big screen, the score read 12:11.
The whole place was in an uproar!
"Damn it! God's prediction!"
"Xia Yuan senior is so awesome! He just knocked the opponent into confusion!"
"Match point! If we win this game, we will win!"
"..."
The audience was excited, as if victory was already beckoning.
However, Game also applied for a tactical pause.
The young boy was still smiling, but there was a hint of seriousness in his eyes.
The last point is crucial.
Won, Game ended, taking away 6 million chips.
If you lose, it will go into overtime, and the variables are endless.
"Little Xia Yuan, it's the last point." Feng Luan looked at Xia Yuan:
"Should I go to point A? The position was well guarded just now."
Xia Yuan shook his head, his tone unquestionable. "No, you go to point B."
"I'll go to the middle."
"What?" Feng Luan was a little surprised, "You go to the middle lane? The middle lane is too risky, it's easy to be flanked!"
Xia Yuan The corner of his mouth raised a cold arc, "It's okay, the worst thing is overtime."
"The pressure on the opponent is greater than ours now. They have already lost the first game. If they lose this game again, their momentum will be exhausted."
Feng Luan looked at Xia Yuan's eyes that seemed to be able to penetrate everything, and the doubts in his heart disappeared instantly.
"Okay, listen to you!"
Under the attention of the entire audience, the final round began.
Game Fang did not change his routine as expected, he still rushed towards point A with the name Justice.
What they thought they would encounter was the impregnable defender Xia Yuan.
However, what greeted them was an empty Point A.
Xia Yuan is not at point A.
He went to the middle.
The moment Justice Enforcer and Game stepped into Point A,
Xia Yuan quietly walked out of the middle like a ghost, seizing the advantageous position on the high platform flanking point A.
"Bang!"
Justice Enforcer fell to the ground.
Game reacted very quickly and turned around instantly to draw the gun.
But Xia Yuan's gun has been locked on him.
There are no fancy operations and no complicated movements.
Only the purest and most deadly shooting skills.
Two bullets accurately sent Game back to his hometown.
[Xia Yuan kills Game]
[Round victory]
[Game victory]
On the big screen, the score was fixed at 13:11.
Brilliant golden ribbons fell from the sky, like a golden rain, covering the entire realm.
"Win! Win!"
"13 to 11! A narrow win! So exciting!"
"Six million chips! We got them back!"
"It's back! I feel it, it's all back!"
"We have been waiting for this golden rain for too long!!"
"..."
Deafening cheers erupted from the audience, and people hugged each other excitedly, as if they were experiencing a life-and-death battle.
Mo Shiyu jumped up, waving his arms vigorously, his eyes even a little wet.
Su Yue breathed a long sigh of relief and slumped down in the chair, as if she was playing the game herself.
Feng Luan also showed a relaxed smile and looked at Xia Yuan with eyes filled with admiration.
In the field.
Game slowly took off his headphones and did not cheer like the audience.
He just sat slumped in the gaming chair, raising his head and looking at the falling golden ribbons.
There was still that signature innocent smile on his face, but that smile was a little less playful and a little more serious.
This moment directly became a famous scene.
Maybe, many years later, a person will appear in front of the camera and say:
"That year I saw Game slumped on the gaming chair. I will never forget this scene. It is our duty to rebuild Game's glory!"
Justice looked at the crowd around him blankly, and then at his empty hands, not understanding what was going on.
The winner has been decided, and every movement and stillness form the most striking contrast.
"Oh, there's really nothing we can do about it."
The voice of Game broke the noise. He smiled and pushed the virtual light spot representing 6 million chips in front of Xia Yuan and Feng Luan.
"I didn't expect that I would lose to you in Game, my best shot."
He blinked his starry eyes, and there was a hint of unnoticeable admiration in his tone.
"Hehe, it also means that I made the right decision by choosing to play Game with you."
Game The topic changed, and the childish voice echoed throughout the audience again, with a heart-stopping meaning.
"However, don't be too happy too early."
"Just because you win the second game doesn't mean you win."
He snapped his fingers, and the light curtain behind him instantly switched, revealing the third icon of Game.
That's a picture that looks more complicated and mysterious.
"Next..."
"This is the much-anticipated third game Game."
"I believe everyone will like it."
