← Back to novel The Richest Man: I Really Didn’t Mean to Make Money

#592

The script shouldn’t be like this.

The director switched the camera, cutting directly to the match footage. At this moment, both teams had just entered the game.

[The game has started, and everyone has found their positions. Based on yesterday's match, we know that BL Team is a very cautious team; in the early game, they never initiate attacks. NRG is different; they are skilled at early-game fighting and attack very frequently.]

[What kind of sparks will fly when these two teams with very different styles collide?]

[Look, what is NRG Team planning? All four are gathering together. Are they planning to focus fire on one person right from the start? I remember NRG Team used this tactic once and achieved good results. I didn't expect them to use it again today.]

[This is a great idea. If they can really kill an opponent at the very beginning of the game, it would be equivalent to establishing a certain advantage early on, making it very difficult for BL Team to execute yesterday's strategy.]

[But this tactic also has a drawback: if they fail to kill anyone from BL Team, they will fall into a disadvantageous position. Given BL Team's ability to snowball, NRG Team will hardly have any chance to fight back!]

[…] On the field. Seeing that not a single person from NRG Team had shown themselves yet, He Pengfei felt alert and quickly spoke up.

"Watch out for their focus-fire tactic; don't leave your territory. Wait until the enemy shows themselves."

"Got it, Fei-ge."

The voices of Lin Guangqing and the other two came through the microphone. Immediately after, everyone controlled their characters to farm within their own territory.

About two minutes later, all four members of NRG appeared in their field of vision simultaneously.

Seeing this, Lin Guangqing couldn't help but laugh. "Fei-ge is awesome, you even guessed their focus-fire tactic."

The other two team members couldn't help but praise him as well.

During the video replay of NRG's previous matches this morning, they had seen NRG use this tactic once. At the time, He Pengfei said that NRG Team might use this tactic against them; he didn't expect it to actually happen.

Hearing the praise from his teammates, He Pengfei couldn't help but smile. He had just realized that the tactic posed a threat to their own strategy, and combined with the fact that not a single NRG Team member had shown themselves, he anticipated the possibility of that tactic and gave the warning. He didn't expect to actually be right.

Knowing the drawback of that tactic, he quickly spoke up: "Lin Guangqing, you two, take advantage of them not being back to defend yet and quickly clear out the resources."

"Don't worry, Fei-ge, we're already doing it. We're stripping everything clean; we guarantee that when they get back, there won't be anything left."

Lin Guangqing chuckled. He had started consuming the opponent's resources the moment the four NRG members appeared.

Commentary booth. [Incredible! The shot-caller for BL is truly too strong. To be able to predict such a tactical attack—they actually had all four people farming in their own territory from the very beginning, not giving NRG any chance to make a move.]

[If this weren't on the tournament stage, I'd start suspecting they were using a wallhack.]

[NRG's focus-fire tactic has essentially failed, and BL Team's players have started frantically consuming NRG Team's resources.]

[How will NRG Team respond to this? BL has never established such a huge advantage this early in a match before!]

[…] In the lounge. Seeing NRG Team use the focus-fire tactic, Yao Beiguo clenched his hands tightly, looking nervous. As for the others in the lounge, they basically all had the same expression.

Chen Mo swept his gaze over everyone in the lounge, muttering to himself constantly. "Quick, quick, kill one."

After a while, until the four NRG members appeared in their field of vision, a burst of cheers erupted in the lounge once again.

Chen Mo looked around, feeling annoyed. "It's just a failed focus-fire strategy, what are you all so happy about?"

Time passed bit by bit. Commentary booth. [BL Team's ability to snowball is truly terrifying. Relying solely on their early-game advantage, they've managed to expand their economic lead to 8,000 in just ten minutes. The next attack will probably be the final push.]

[It seems that when fighting against BL Team, it's best not to fall into a disadvantageous position.]

[BL Team has already entered NRG's base. Relying on the massive economic gap, NRG Team has no room to fight back.]

[The match ended in 13 minutes; this is probably the shortest match of this tournament.]

[Let us congratulate BL Team on winning the first match.]

… In the lounge, hearing the cheers once again, Chen Mo suddenly felt it was somewhat grating. The script shouldn't be like this. Shouldn't it be BL Team having their base destroyed by NRG Team in 13 minutes?

"President Chen, today's match is a best-of-three. As long as the team wins one more match, our BL Team will be one step closer to entering the finals."

Yao Beiguo said with an excited expression. He originally hadn't held much hope for BL Team. But these successive victories had given him hope; perhaps their BL Team could try to go for the championship.

"Hmm!" Chen Mo nodded expressionlessly, hoping in his heart that BL Team would lose all the upcoming matches.

But things didn't go as wished. As time passed, until the BL Team matches ended today, BL entered the grand finals of this year's Fire Dragon Island with a perfect undefeated record.

Watching the cheering crowd in the lounge, Chen Mo rubbed his head. He realized that coming here was a wrong decision. He wasn't here to relax at all; he was clearly here to make himself miserable.

Also, tomorrow is the finals. He could hardly imagine what BL Game Club would become after BL Team won the championship.

Returning to the hotel suite, he opened his phone and re-entered the official match Livestream room. At this moment, the same four commentators from yesterday were discussing.

[Did you ever think before that BL Team would be able to make it to the finals?]

[No, but I've been observing over the past two days. With the current version of Fire Dragon Island, it is very suitable for BL Team's playstyle.]

[While the version is certainly important sometimes, the rich experience of those four veteran professional champion players is also very important.]

[That's right. Just in terms of operations, I'm afraid no team currently can compare to BL Team.]

[Then which team do you think has a better chance of winning tomorrow, BL Team vs ENG Team?]

[I still think ENG Team has a better chance of winning. Through today's match, I noticed that ENG Team is also trying BL Team's playstyle, and the results are quite good. If both teams use this tactic tomorrow, ENG Team's players are stronger, so I feel ENG Team has a better chance of winning.]

[I also think it's ENG Team. It's not just that ENG Team tried BL Team's playstyle; I simply have more confidence in ENG Team's strength. You have to know, ENG Team also entered the finals undefeated, and they earned it through solid performance.]
