Chapter 380: Chapter 137: The Thieves’ Momentum is Growing! The Crushing Blow from Huaxia Players!_3

But these kinds of videos actually have no real content.

They only serve as redirect links.

Whenever Korean players come to steal things, they’re automatically redirected to an interface full of Korean-language mockery.

Leaving the enemy humiliated and utterly defeated!

A classic case of kicking someone while they’re down.

This strategy is an enhanced version of misdirection.

The mocking interface is directly swapped for a virus page; once clicked, the user is forced into an international transfer interface, and the computer can only be unlocked from the virus after entering the bank card password.

However, due to its excessive destructiveness and the fact that it is unjust enrichment, it was never implemented in actual combat but was instead resisted and abolished by Huaxia Nation players, thereafter serving only as a deterrent.

Making something out of nothing.

In other words, clickbait.

The title is highly enticing, but once clicked, there is nothing inside, merely wasting Korean players’ several minutes to half an hour of their lives.

Initially, this strategy had outstanding effects, but after gaining popularity, it even tricked the Huaxia Nation players, equivalent to the Seven Injuries Boxing.

Its tenure was short-lived, lasting only two and a half days before its demise.

Watching the fire from the other side of the river.

Using attractive titles to draw in Korean ’thieves’, the posters then engaged in lengthy discussions, claiming they’d recently encountered an incredibly powerful strategy that could easily overcome myriad enemies without exaggeration! But since it was originally created by Neon Country, out of respect for copyright, they could only point everyone in the right direction and tell them where to watch that video.

After luring the enemy there, they’d find that the video, supposedly showing how to pull off the strategy, was actually just some Neon player cursing out Korean players.

This instigated a fierce flame war between both sides’ players, allowing our side to retreat unscathed.

This strategy was effective but fundamentally Hollow.

While it diverted some krdog traffic, Huaxia Nation players learned nothing substantial from it.

Hence, it could only serve as support for other real headlining strategies.

Various strategies mushrooms swiftly, and among them, the most eye-catching were the Empty Fort strategy and the Deception strategy!

Among these, the Empty Fort strategy was as follows:

The title was still attractive, and there was indeed something real inside.

However, due to numerous previous distractions, the gamble was that Korean players wouldn’t dare to randomly click on it anymore.

Although this deterred some Korean players,

it had its drawbacks.

If even one out of a hundred people dared to click and learn something, then run away,

they could afford to gamble hundreds or thousands of times, but you could only lose once.

And in the end,

the Deception strategy, which received unanimous recognition from Huaxia Nation players, optimized on the basis of the Empty Fort strategy.

The titles created were not conspicuous, although related to "Eternity," they had little to do with actual tactics.

Typically named with phrases like ’Can everyone check how this play is’ or ’I wonder if there’s room for optimization in this move?’.

It seemed like a newbie in "Eternity" asking for advice from experienced players.

When you opened the video,

the content indeed consisted of some foolish moves.

All sorts of Waving Swords but failing, kinds of celestial-level strategic dances, and cooking techniques that would feed an entire village.

It made viewers frown, wishing to quickly escape.

About a minute later,

the video of foolish moves would abruptly stop.

"...There shouldn’t be any stick goons left by now, right? Actually, I wanted to ask, I’ve liked a girl for a long time, but her family is strongly against it, what should I do? Especially her husband, who even said he’d take a knife and kill me."

This seemingly lonely emotional question would leave Korean players who persisted through the foolish moves baffled, forcing them to close the video in confusion.

Then, in the second half, the tone shifted.

"There shouldn’t be any Koreans left by now, right? Actually, here’s the thing—I won’t lie—I bought a motorcycle a couple days ago, but it keeps leaking oil. Is there a mechanic who can teach me... teach me Waving Swords techniques! Next, our eldest senior brother will demonstrate through live action analysis several different practical Waving Swords methods, so you can easily climb to the top of the Asura ranking!"

...

Dozens of stratagems complemented each other, being simultaneously aggressive, deceptive, supportive, and practical.

They crazily varied in style from different angles, displaying an unending succession of ancient military tactics.

While perfectly displaying the deep tactical heritage of Huaxia Nation’s players, they also gave the Korean ’thieves’ a harsh lesson, causing intense disruption.

A series of combination punches rained down, leaving the thieves absolutely flummoxed.

Wait, what the hell are these?

Generations of our ancestors have never seen such variety...

These tactics, if applied in real combat, could freaking conquer our country in no time, and you’re wasting them on game strategy bets?

Absurd! Truly freaking absurd!

Of course, if Huaxia Nation’s players knew what these people were thinking internally,

they would certainly smirk contemptuously.

Is this all you’ve got?

We still have hundreds of military treatises like "The Art of War," "Wuzi’s Art of War," "Sima’s Strategies," "The Three Strategies of Huang Shigong," and "The Six Taos of Taigong" up our sleeves!

Come on, steal them!

If I don’t con you lame, you won’t even know who’s your daddy!

...

Anyway.

This time, the diverse range of military tactics, called ’eight immortals crossing the sea,’ was remarkably effective.

It worked wonders in the defense strategy part of the game.

It successfully thwarted the thieves from Neon Country who wanted to openly snatch victory.

And while the players from Huaxia Nation were celebrating,

at the same time,

a group of ’thieves’ with nothing left to steal also returned to their community.

They began to promote heavily.

"Huaxia Nation’s players have been crushed by our ’borrowing tactics’!"

"They’ve lost their will to innovate now!"

"In the mainstream gaming community, there’s no sign of any substantial strategies!"

"Or rather, all the advanced content of the game has been fully explored and developed! They can’t produce anything new!"

"Next, all we need to do is to consolidate the skills we have."

"Though the competition hasn’t started yet, it’s clear that we, the Great Korea, have already won!"

"I believe! The championship will only belong to Great Korea!"

For a while,

the atmosphere of becoming champions spread throughout the Korean Player Community.

Everyone seemed to bask in the joy of victory.

And, during this phase, the online group matches finally came to an end.

Both regions had battled out their strongest TOP100!

They would face each other a week later at the offline venue, Jianglin Gymnasium.

To compete in the first ever esports championship battle in the history of Blue Star!

The main competition, at last, began unfolding!
