Chapter 793 Another Account

[The match will begin in thirty seconds]

Along with the system announcement, the players from both sides entered the arena.

As Feng Bujue had predicted in the spectating space, Jianghu had sent the Cai Bupa Ne and Bu Tiange siblings for the "mid-game battle."

But, please note... this "prediction" was made by Feng Bujue in the "spectating space," not the original prediction he made "before the match."

"I truly didn't expect to meet you in this 'opening battle'," he had said to Jian Shao... meaning, he himself had already admitted to misjudging.

So, what was Brother Jue's original prediction?

Feng Bujue thought: In the first match, the opponent would send Wudao Ke; in the second match, it would be the Jian Shao and Bupa combination…

From Jianghu's perspective, if Hell Front arranged their lineup from weakest to strongest, it was highly likely they could start with a 2-0 lead. Even if Hell Front put their main force in the first two matches, they weren't without a chance; at least, they could fight to a 40-60 split. Then, as long as Jianghu sniped Snow with Bu Tiange in one of the later matches, they would have a chance to take the match point and advance.

However, the calculation that Brother Jue had made for the opponent did not become reality.

Because... Jianghu was calculating a different account.

It might sound unbelievable, but after the match list for this round was announced, Jianghu immediately held an internal meeting. At the end of the meeting, they made the decision to "give up advancing."

The reason for giving up was simple: After a joint discussion and analysis by the management, players, and data team, they unanimously determined that with Jianghu's current roster depth, no matter how much advantage they gained in the lineup arrangement, the hope of getting three points from Hell Front was very slim.

In other words, barring accidents, Jianghu's S3 journey would end in this round.

After reaching this conclusion, Jianghu's calculation method naturally changed... They didn't need to arrange their lineup for the extremely low possibility of advancing like Shanhe in the previous round. They only needed to satisfy two points: first, to win at least one point in the overall score to avoid the embarrassment of being swept; and second, to use the match platform to showcase the players and increase their popularity.

Therefore, Jianghu arranged for the first three matches... "opening battle" - Kuang Zong Jianying; "mid-game battle" - Cai Bupa Ne and Bu Tiange; "adjutant battle" - Wudao Ke.

This kind of arrangement undoubtedly abandoned the hope of advancing. They didn't seek to win the last two matches, only to secure points in the first three matches and ensure that all four of their popular players could appear.

Although Feng Bujue immediately realized this after the opening battle, the "match list" had been submitted ten minutes before the match. People's judgment could be corrected, but the match list could not.

Thus, in this match, there was the matchup of Snow and Wang Tanzhi against Cai Bupa Ne and Bu Tiange.

Brother Jue originally intended to use Little Tan's control ability in conjunction with Snow's various arms bombings to bully the two melee players, but with Jian Shao replaced by Little Bu... the feasibility of this tactic was questionable.

Some might remember that Wang Tanzhi and Bu Tiange had once faced off in S1 (Chapter 380 - Stone Formation Assassination). Although Little Tan won at the time, even he had to admit that winning that match was truly good luck.

In that "Bug Battle," both the time (pitch-black night) and the place (among towering stone forests) were very unfavorable for Bu Tiange, a shooting specialist. Also, because the players in S1 were still low-level and had limited abilities, the advantages and disadvantages brought by the environment were more prominent.

But if one put aside these third-party factors to look at this duel, it was not difficult to see that Bu Tiange was actually a player who countered Little Tan.

In fact, not only Little Tan, but Bu Tiange's [Thunderbolt Boomerang] could be said to be the nemesis of all players who walked the "stealth assassination" route. In front of him, there was simply no space to use agility to pull and control. Those who could counter him were only strength-type characters like Dafan Tian or Long Aomin, but unfortunately... Snow and Little Tan were not this type.

…………

"You've already watched the match recording between me and Bu Tiange, right?" Little Tan said to Snow, who was busily creating mechanical creations.

At the moment, the preparation time had not ended. Because there was a shooting specialist among the opponents, and this was a desert terrain, Little Tan and the others did not follow the original plan of distancing themselves from the opponents, but instead started preparing on the spot.

"Of course, I've seen it." Snow replied while looking down and working, "I've also scanned through his matches in S2 and S3. It can be seen that he has become much stronger than when he was in Xingchen." He paused, slightly raised his eyes, "And... he counters you very well."

"Yeah..." Little Tan groaned, silent for a few seconds. During this time, he seemed to have made up his mind, and then opened his mouth again, "Snow, I have an idea..."

"What?" Snow replied.

"Can you help me hold them back for a while?" Little Tan said, "Try to get... two minutes."

"Huh?" Although Snow's hands didn't stop, his head was raised. He looked at Little Tan and blurted out a sentence in English, "dude...Are_you_kidding_me?"

His reaction was understandable. It should have been Little Tan helping him buy time, but now it was good, he was actually asking him, who could barely fight head-on, to help his teammate buy time.

This couldn't be said to be forcing someone to do something difficult; it was simply asking him to die...

"Please, just two minutes, think of a way." Little Tan said, completely giving the other party no room to say anything else, and disappeared in a flash.

"Ma~de er~fa [beep] er!" Snow looked at the empty sandy ground in front of him, and an English version of MMP also came out of his mouth. In addition to being shocked, he couldn't help but complain in his heart, "I thought only Feng Bujue would do this kind of thing of selling teammates before a battle, I didn't expect that you, Wang Tanzhi, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, would also betray the revolutionary friendship we finally established! Are there any good people in Hell Front? Who can I believe in this world in the future?"

Complaints aside, he still had to think of a way...

Snow was definitely not a person who would sit still and wait for death, and he didn't really think he was being "sold out." He knew very well that Little Tan must have had a good reason for doing this, so he had to give his teammate those two minutes, even if it meant risking his life.
