The Master’s Mask Unveiled Again
Chapter 846 - 845: The Counterattack at 6v7

Chapter 846: Chapter 845: The Counterattack at 6v7

It was as if a bolt from the blue struck Wei Qi on the head.

He confirmed it many times, the girl standing in the center of the competition stage was indeed Lu Mian!

His mouth agape, he tugged at the clothes of the person next to him with trembling fingertips, "Did I... say anything inappropriate?"

Shouhao cast a sympathetic look at him and enthusiastically helped him recall the past.

"Don’t worry, you didn’t say anything inappropriate."

Just as Wei Qi was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Shouhao couldn’t help but add with a barely suppressed smile, "You only said that female members would drag the team down, that they would cause Shadow Hunting to lose the championship and such."

Wei Qi:...

He plopped down onto his seat.

"I was just speaking the truth... That said, with Lu Big Shot entering the field, she’s definitely going to be fine, right?"

Both Pang Hao and Shouhao gave Wei Qi a disdainful look; the two brothers always had blind faith in Lu Mian.

They had never witnessed Lu Mian’s capabilities in computer programming, but since Brother Mian decided to enter the fray, it meant they were about to crush the trash.

"Sister Yuan, what do you think?" the brothers turned to Sui Yuan.

Sui Yuan scratched her fluffy head, her tone certain: "I believe in Mianmian."

At this moment, Zhang Yanyan finally had an epiphany, muttering to himself, "So, this is the relationship between Lu Mian and Shadow Hunting Team..."

Wei Qi leaned over, "You knew?"

Zhang Yanyan, pushing up his heavy glasses, replied, "Yeah, when we were attending the physics training, Lu Mian used to often visit Shadow Hunting Team. No other girls could get in; only Lu Mian could. So, she’s one of their members..."

Wei Qi glared at Zhang Yanyan, annoyed, "Senior, you could’ve told us sooner..."

Lu Mian’s appearance caused quite a stir.

But the live audience wasn’t so kind about the 6v7 situation, voices of doom and gloom were everywhere. With Huan Yan entering the arena with a full score in combat value, everyone could foresee that 6v7 would just be pummeled right from the start.

However, Lu Mian seemed deaf to it all, indifferent whether the crowd was cheering or jeering, her face expressionless, as carefree as the wind.

Both teams’ members stood side by side on the stage, and the host handed the microphone to Huan Yan.

"Captain Huan Yan, do you have any words for your opponent?"

Huan Yan first greeted the audience with arrogance, then said, "For such troop deployment, I won’t thank you. The 1515 team will show you how miserable it is to underestimate your opponent with our actions."

A wave of cheers came from the audience.

Shadow Hunting fans sweated profusely.

The host passed the microphone to Shadow Hunting’s side, and surprisingly, all four veteran members unanimously looked towards 6v7 as if they held her in high regard.

Lu Mian didn’t intend to speak, so as the vice-captain, Xun Xiaoran stepped up, "The same message, for the 1515 team."

Huan Yan sneered and made a mocking gesture towards Lu Mian, exceptionally arrogant.

Lu Mian lazily lifted her eyes; though her mask hid her expression, Huan Yan felt as if he saw her and the other team members smiling.

Are they insane, still laughing at a time like this!

The battle was on the brink of erupting.

Both teams’ members took their seats in the competition area.

Huan Yan didn’t take Lu Mian seriously, and upon

"Yes, Captain!"

Compared to Team 1515’s tactical layout, the atmosphere on Shadow Hunting Team’s side was instead one of quietness.

Xun Xiaoran still asked, "Lu big-shot, what’s our strategy this time?"

Lu Mian, unruffled, sorted out his mouse cord, "Just like we trained."

Four teammates "uh"ed, nodding their heads with peculiar expressions.

The competition was heating up.

The commentator was also fixated on the screen, providing professional commentary.

"We can see Team 1515 still using their familiar tactics, first creating vulnerabilities to block the opponent, then going for the match point. And it seems Captain Huan Yan has personally taken action against 6v7! He’s thrown a worm virus over there! Beautiful! If he can trap 6v7 in one fell swoop..."

The commentator spoke rapidly, but not as fast as Lu Mian’s hand speed.

If someone on the spot were watching Lu Mian, they would notice that her hands moving over the keyboard had become a blur.

Such a tiny virus, too naive.

"What?!" the commentator’s tone shifted abruptly, "6v7 dodged it! Not only did she dodge it, but she also lured Huan Yan into the vulnerability she’d prepared! When on earth did she write this vulnerability?"

The commentator was surprised, as were the audience members. The match had only begun a few minutes ago, hadn’t it?

How did 6v7 manage this?

The commentator immediately shifted his attention to Shadow Hunting Team’s side, somewhat unclear about the situation, and subjectively analyzed, "We can see that Shadow Hunting Team is very calm. After 6v7’s beautiful counter-attack, I would guess their next step must be to coordinate with each other..."

Before the commentator could finish, Lu Mian surprised him again.

Because apart from 6v7, the remaining four Shadow Hunting Team members barely moved, which could be considered passive play. How were they supposed to coordinate?

The live audience was also puzzled, staring fixedly at the screen.

The commentator couldn’t leave the air silent, his words sharply changing direction, "It looks like Shadow Hunting Team has adopted a new tactic, aiming to catch the opponent off guard. If we observe carefully, we can see that apart from 6v7, the four teammates also seem to be writing some program in secret. What exactly they are writing, I can’t make out at this moment, but I guess it must be very important, perhaps even enough to make a come-back kill! So, are they planning to sacrifice 6v7 to complete this layout..."

Many people thought the same way, but Lu Mian was quick. Wherever she went, she perfectly avoided pitfalls and vulnerabilities and even reinforced her own camp’s firewall on the go. To accumulate more points, she breezed through the levels, securing numerous match points within minutes.

CTF competition is Capture the Flag.

Before everyone’s eyes, not only was Lu Mian not constrained by the opponent, but she had also breached the opponent’s firewall.

The commentator, slapping his own face, didn’t have a single commentary that was correct.

The audience below was stunned.

This... this was too awesome!

Could it be that this legendary female player was actually a top player?

Lu Yutian, sitting in the back row, frowned as she watched the competition area with an unpleasant look on her face.

On the other hand, the two foreigners beside her were quite interested, watching while conversing with each other.

Ten minutes had passed.

Lu Mian had secured all match points, casually releasing an invisible virus that completely paralyzed Team 1515’s firewall. Huan Yan and others patched the east wall only to neglect the west, not only losing match points but also getting trapped inside the virus.

The commentator didn’t know what to say anymore.

Finally, tremblingly explaining, "We can see that Team 1515 has completely lost the ability to defend. 6v7, on her own, perfectly counter-slaughtered the opponent! Now, let’s see what kind of trap her four teammates have laid, are they about to deliver the final blow to the opponent?"

Everyone held their breath, not daring to even blink.
