Chapter 341: Chapter 318: For the Dignity of Korea Professional World, Go Directly!

"""

What’s the gap between amateur players and professional players? Reaction speed, operational level, tactical awareness, overall view, and so on. Not to mention that professional players’ teams have resources and forces that amateurs can hardly match, as well as a think tank behind the scenes.

What’s the gap between professional players? Their state!

What’s the most common phrase commentators say during professional leagues? "Such-and-such player isn’t in good form today..." And that state refers to their psychological state. For professional players, the differences in technical and tactical aspects are already minimal; what they’re competing on is psychological state.

There are legendary stories of some professional players, who when at a peak emotional state, display heroic feats beyond technical expertise. American professional players notably display this behavior. Don’t try to analyze their tactical intentions, because sometimes even they don’t know what they’re doing! To put it nicely, it’s called "egolessness"; to put it bluntly, it’s called "sleepwalking." Regardless of how you put it, no one can deny the significant influence of a player’s psychology and momentum in professional leagues.

To defeat professional players, Da Fei’s only chance might be psychological momentum. Of course, the premise is that Da Fei’s forces and equipment must be strong and refined, as that is the foundation of a Commander’s confidence. How could one sing an empty-city strategy without any soldiers?

At this moment, Da Fei was in a very heroic state. To be precise, he was in a state of self-hypnosis and self-inflation.

Bro, the world’s number one amateur player in the Great China Region, the first Demigod Slayer, a possessor of Divine Artifacts, an internet addiction treatment expert who once stood alone against the ridicule of countless players and smiled proudly on the national service server. How could such a heroic figure fear an unknown Korean player? Even if I were scared, I couldn’t show it! Now, as an international celebrity being hunted by multi-nations, if I get turned inside out and made into a video, where’s my aura? Where’s the deterrence of me eliminating someone at the start of the game? How could I bear the thought of my Divine Artifact? Wouldn’t all the players in China laugh me to death? I’m not afraid of being scolded, just being ridiculed!

So, I have to start my own video and record myself striking this Korean down with unmatched momentum for all to see.

Now, Da Fei was sitting cross-legged in the street, his main troops rapidly stationed in the buildings on both sides of the street. Behind him were five Storm Druids of Level Seven soldier standard, and 200 Secret Archers of the Anlicia Illusion Army standing neatly in rows.

The reason for sitting in the street was, of course, because the progress of opening the manhole cover had reached 65%. How could he walk away when so close to success? Cross-legged sitting gives the aura of a reclusive master. Back in the day, when I was in the arena PK defending Bloodrose Studio against someone, I also sat cross-legged. It meant telling the audience that I disdained to stand up to PK him. What’s that called? Pretending to be cool!

And then, of course, pretending to be cool couldn’t become a joke. What if the opponent charged directly at me—wouldn’t I get decapitated? So, a guard force is needed, naturally the five Storm Druids behind me. With their blood defense, along with my strong defense, getting killed in a second wasn’t likely.

The reason for placing them behind instead of piling them in front was also for pretending to be cool! If I were to hide behind the army, wouldn’t it look like I was scared of him? With the Divine Artifact in hand, there’s no fear of anything. Right?

As for the 200 Secret Archers from illusions, cough! It’s not to frighten the opponent but to make it appear that I have a grand entourage—showing world-class amateur player style. Right? As for the fog and stuff, it’s unnecessary. There’s no water here for the fog effect, and it’d appear that I was covering something up out of fear of him.

In short, since I’m just an amateur player, tactics, and operations are pointless effort. I’m doing as I please. You’re an awesome professional player, right? Come at me if you dare! If you don’t, I’ll finish opening the manhole cover and leave! Tch!

Now the progress bar for opening the manhole cover was slowly advancing, 68%, 69%. The intimidating Korean players had already appeared in Da Fei’s line of sight. Their marching speed genuinely surprised Da Fei, startling him internally!

Unicorn! Holy crap! A Level 5 Soldier of the Elf Clan—Unicorn!

—Unicorn: Large-sized Bright Creature, Attack 19, Defense 19, Life 90, Damage 13-24, Attack Speed 9, Magic Resistance 75%, Movement Speed 20. Special Skill: Anti-Magic Barrier, Blinding Attack, Follow the Light.

If the regular units of the Elf Clan generally had low blood and defense and low production, suitable for guerrilla warfare rather than large-scale assaults, the appearance of Level 5 Soldiers Unicorn and Level 6 Soldiers Tree Demon would significantly mitigate these shortcomings. Especially the Unicorn, as a Level 5 Soldier, its attribute almost reached the Level 6 soldier standard of other clans, able to charge, resist and blind while offering magic resistance to the entire army, gathering all essential elements for a decisive battle, making it deservedly the strongest Level 5 Soldier.

Unicorn’s existence upheld half of the high-end battle layout of the Elf Clan. Consequently, the "Unicorn Girl," who specializes in Unicorns, was a notable God-level Hero on the valuation list.

And now the opponent’s Unicorn looked visibly nobler and grander than ordinary Unicorns, clearly an elite. Specifically, the one at the forefront had a larger build, with a distinctive golden horn—it’s obviously a BOSS! There’s someone on its back! It’s a female player! No wonder it’s moving so fast—it’s a mount! Holy crap! A female player? It’s definitely a cross-player’s disguise just to ride the Unicorn!

In that split second, Da Fei was stunned! Indeed, Korea’s experts indeed had great stuff! Truly, the world doesn’t only have BOSSes and elites for him alone!

This is tricky. Although my aim was to lure them into an ambush, can my full-street crossfire block such a formation? Overall, I may lose in strength and formation, but I’ll never lose in demeanor. I’ll stay classy and keep up the act!

Da Fei couldn’t help but tightly clutch the Destiny Coin in his hand, a bead of cold sweat gradually dripping from his forehead.

...

In the Tatazu Freedom Wings Team’s command center, there was a solemn silence, only the effect of galloping hoofbeats played from the big screen on the wall.

The legendary Da Fei finally appeared. Honestly, even the Korean professional team was very interested in him—how did an amateur player develop to such an astonishing height? Heaven-defying luck? A legendary Face Fighter? Or was it a skill on par with professional players? At least, from all the collected videos about Da Fei so far, there was no record of him making a move.

Closer now, when the screen fully displayed Da Fei’s formation, the entire command center was in awe!

"What is this?" Coach Jin Xiyong was genuinely stunned for a moment by Da Fei’s pretentious lineup.

"It looks like he knew Little Zhu was coming and was prepared well in advance, huh? No wonder he can decapitate at a distance; his reconnaissance range is unusually broad." Coach Park Dong-hoon couldn’t help but stroke his chin.

"He’s stationed a lot of troops in the houses on both sides of the street. Is this setting a trap waiting for Little Zhu to walk into it?" Coach Cui Yonghao’s brow slightly furrowed.

"Am I seeing things? Are the troops behind him elite-tier Level 3 Secret Archers? Is this related to his task?" Coach Jin Xiyong couldn’t help but take off his glasses, puffed warm air on them, and wiped them clean.

"Interesting. Even though Korea focuses primarily on the Elf Clan, we don’t have anyone who could amass so many elite-tier troops. Da Fei, as a Human Race, has managed to progress this far and indeed can’t be underestimated." Cui Yonghao’s brow furrowed even more deeply.

At this moment, as a direct party involved, Li Yinzhu couldn’t stay calm and impatiently asked in her sweet voice, "Teacher, how should I fight? Should I just charge in? After all, my Unicorn King has the Great Blindness Skill, and his Ghost Dragon Army is still by the tower. I don’t believe his ambush can do anything to me!"

Such an amateurish array was indeed a first for Li Yinzhu! With ordinary people, she wouldn’t even glance at them before rolling over them, but this was the internationally renowned Da Fei, gripping a Divine Artifact! Now Li Yinzhu finally understood why Da Fei was so flamboyant in boasting about his Divine Artifact on forums—it’s akin to North Korea flaunting nuclear weapons, a complete rogue! Pure rogue!

Jin Xiyong looked around at his two colleagues: "What do you think?" Although they said that Li Yinzhu herself should handle it, encountering issues that coaches couldn’t make heads or tails of was no time for a student to act recklessly.

Park Dong-hoon chuckled, "Little Zhu, if the opponent were a professional player, and displayed such a formation, how would you respond?"

Li Yinzhu reflexively said, "Of course, exploit the Unicorn King’s high mobility to bypass into another street, whereby his troops stationed in the buildings become ineffective, and his Secret Archer Troop won’t have time to redeploy. Even if they do, they can’t stop the Unicorn Army’s charge."

Jin Xiyong laughed, "Good, it’s a solid strategy, with over an 80% win rate."

Cui Yonghao, however, coldly said, "But the opponent is an amateur player, who set up a formation that even typical amateur players wouldn’t use. What’s this called in China?"

Jin Xiyong, too, wore a solemn expression and said sternly, "Challenging! The main general highlighting himself at the front of the whole army in the face of enemy forces—this is a provocative stance against the enemy!"

Cui Yonghao stated coldly, "We in Korea also have this tradition!"

Li Yinzhu suddenly understood and chuckled, "Are you saying this Da Fei is provoking me? How arrogant and ignorant, I’ll go around and finish him off then!"

Cui Yonghao said seriously, "No! He’s challenging our entire Korea Professional World! He has boldly declared in the morning interview his goal of winning the championship, completely dismissing professional players. Now he’s executed two professional players, arrogantly appeared, and established such a formation to confront your pursuit—all these actions show he doesn’t take professional players seriously!"

Jin Xiyong also agreed solemnly, "Right, facing the challenge of an amateur player, we cannot sidestep! Sidestepping means retreating, means fear of confronting him directly. Even winning then would still be losing. We must accept his provocation and defeat him head-on!"

Park Dong-hoon nodded, "Our Korea Professional World’s dignity cannot be challenged by a hooligan amateur player. Let’s go!"

Li Yinzhu straightened her demeanor, "Alright, I’m going for it!" (To be continued. If you enjoyed this work, please visit Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendation votes, monthly votes. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please read on m.qidian.com.)
