Chapter 18

Ye Xiu and Baozi had already switched to alternate accounts at this point. Baozi Invasion even spent some time swapping out equipment. As a result, when they started moving again, they actually ran into Who Doesn't Submit and Mo Dare to Turn Back.

But at the same time, Ye Xiu discovered another team.

The Jia Dynasty team.

This team, whose score was currently stuck at 53 pairs of socks, had clearly only just begun their first round of activity today. Judging from the team's class composition, players no longer doubted that this was Jia Shi's pro player team. The strength of this five-player team was beyond question. Even Wei Chen's team, whose sock score was currently above theirs, would never dare to claim that their strength was above theirs. Of course, this was without considering Wei Chen's lack of a bottom line. With Wei Chen's personality, lying through his teeth was too easy.

"You guys are really troublesome this time!" Chen Guo was extremely satisfied with Ye Xiu's earlier ambush of Who Doesn't Submit and Mo Dare to Turn Back. This round, she was excited to see Ye Xiu run into these two again, but when she saw that there was also a Jia Shi pro team in this round, she immediately became serious.

Wei Chen turned his head when he heard the sound and saw the situation. He immediately instructed Ye Xiu more seriously, "Good opportunity, snipe them well for us."

Of course, Wei Chen wanted to target Jia Shi's pro team.

Today, their team's three rounds of activity were not as good as yesterday's. They only got 52 pairs in total. If Jia Shi's team had a stroke of luck today and scored above 54, then Wei Chen's team's top spot on the leaderboard would be in jeopardy. Currently, this team was their only competitor. Even Wei Chen's alternate team didn't have such excellent results, which made Wei Chen feel uneasy.

The alternate team also had good equipment, and their strength wasn't much different from the main team. But the fact that they didn't get the same results as the main team showed that this event was greatly affected by various factors. Wei Chen's team's score for today's three rounds was already set, and it wasn't particularly strong, so they were worried. Now that they saw Jia Shi's team facing off against Ye Xiu, Wei Chen immediately became energetic.

"Yeah, give me a cigarette," Ye Xiu said.

"Come, come, come, I'll light it for you." At this moment, Wei Chen had none of his usual mocking attitude towards Ye Xiu and was extremely attentive.

"What a coincidence," Ye Xiu said, with a cigarette in his mouth. "I chose to play a Mechanic, and I ran into Xiao Shiqin."

"With Old Ye's ability, what's there to fear from mere Xiao Shiqin? Crush him, crush him," Wei Chen said.

"Stop making noise and play your alternate account," Ye Xiu said.

"Yes, yes, yes." Wei Chen quickly returned to his side to lead the team and continued to command his team in a serious manner. Chen Guo could only sigh at how quickly he changed characters.

"Baozi, perk up, it's starting," Ye Xiu shouted. Their round of activity had finally reached fifty people. The newly joined teams didn't have anything special about them, and the system had already started the countdown to the start of the activity.

"Roger," Baozi said, perking up.

"Let's take a look at the situation first," Ye Xiu said.

The two of them entered the event map and casually strolled around, waiting to see how the situation progressed. As for the other players, after seeing the list of teams in the same map as them, they were all as if their parents had died. It was already enough to encounter one abnormal team, but now they encountered two in the same map. They didn't know that the Mechanic, Yi Nuo, and the Brawler, Yu Lai Le, were actually the alternate accounts of another abnormal two-person team.

This time, the map was still a snow map, but there was no blizzard that blocked the line of sight, nor was there dazzling sunshine. It was a silver-clad town. The socks could be on the streets, in the rooms, or on the roofs. Ye Xiu and Baozi weren't in a hurry to find socks. After turning around, Ye Xiu took a fancy to a roof and then drilled over there. Two minutes had already passed in just this short while, but there was still no news of socks being picked up. He didn't know if the players' enthusiasm had been hit and they had started to treat it negatively.

It wasn't until Ye Xiu's Yi Nuo jumped onto the roof of that attic that the first system message finally flashed out. The first pair of socks was picked up by an ordinary player in an ordinary team. But speaking of which, it had only been 20 days since the new level cap was opened. Being able to level up to level 75 so quickly was definitely not something that could be called ordinary anymore. It was just a pity that the object they needed to compare themselves to this time was a bit sharp. No matter how fast they leveled up, they could only be mortals.

As the first pair of socks was picked up, the system channel seemed to be uneasy. After all, it was impossible for everyone to be negative. For example, Who Doesn't Submit and Mo Dare to Turn Back. These two probably wouldn't be negative when they saw Jia Shi's pro team. Maybe they would take this as a touchstone to meet the challenge!

Messages began to refresh irregularly, one after another. The initial ten pairs of socks were soon gradually picked up five pairs, but the Jia Shi team and the Who Doesn't Submit duo hadn't shown any signs of movement.

Perhaps it was the situation where the two abnormal teams hadn't made any movements that encouraged the majority of players. The system channel's messages suddenly had a small climax. Two pairs of socks were picked up at the same time, and two pairs of socks changed hands, obviously a battle had broken out. At this time, the total number of socks had been refreshed to twelve pairs, and the total number of picked up socks was seven pairs.

Eight pairs, nine pairs, ten pairs...

The teams seemed to have started to move and suddenly the progress became a bit fast. In the blink of an eye, the total number of seven pairs picked up became ten pairs. Among them, the Jia Dynasty team finally showed their face once. They picked up a pair of socks through non-combat means.

"No one's in a hurry to make a move! What good patience," Ye Xiu exclaimed.

Ye Xiu had also used the strategy of striking later. But it wasn't like they were doing nothing and just waiting. The whereabouts of the socks needed to be grasped to a certain extent, and even guided to a certain extent. But what about now? Ten pairs of socks were scattered in eight teams. With such a non-concentrated distribution, there was no difference between striking later and striking first.

Of course, Xiao Shiqin wouldn't be ignorant of such a simple principle. Ye Xiu guessed that he had also seen Who Doesn't Submit and Mo Dare to Turn Back and had taken the action of observing first. Or maybe he simply had the same design as Ye Xiu in the previous round, letting Who Doesn't Submit and Mo Dare to Turn Back find the prey first.

But how would he know that Who Doesn't Submit and Mo Dare to Turn Back had just been fooled like that? This time, when they saw another strong enemy, how could they easily be the first to stick their heads out? As a result, both sides were wary of each other, and the situation suddenly became a bit scattered.

"Boss, are we still not going to make a move?" Baozi asked, having been lonely for a long time.

"Not in a hurry. If we continue to maintain this situation, we will at least have completed our mission of helping Old Wei snipe his competitors," Ye Xiu said.

"We can complete the mission without doing anything. That's too wonderful!" Baozi exclaimed.

"Isn't it," Ye Xiu said, but what he was thinking about was not the topic he was talking about with Baozi. In the current situation, it probably depended on who had more patience. With Xiao Shiqin's rich experience and deep scheming, Ye Xiu was quite sure that he could endure if he wanted to wait patiently. But the problem was, did the current Jia Dynasty really need to compete with the other side?

They were a pro team with All-Star players, and there were five of them. They were observing first, and Ye Xiu estimated that it was definitely to save trouble, wanting Who Doesn't Submit and Mo Dare to Turn Back to help them deal with the prey first. If it was really because of fear, that would be hilarious. A five-person pro team afraid of a duo that had just emerged in the online game event? This wasn't rigorous, nor was it cautious. This should be called crazy.

So, although they could be more patient now, Ye Xiu didn't think that Jia Dynasty would make such an arrangement.

As expected, after not waiting for Who Doesn't Submit duo to make the first move, Jia Dynasty didn't bother to waste time like this. A message that one of their team's characters had picked up a pair of socks opened the prelude to their attack. Before the silence, they had done a lot of preparation work. Once they started fighting, they instantly swept away half of the socks that had already been picked up. They didn't act like the others in Excellent Era, occasionally enduring a little. They were a team from a dynasty. It would be a bit embarrassing if they had to calculate everything together with ordinary players.

The Jia Dynasty team was plundering the socks, and the system was constantly refreshing the socks. There were also players and teams without socks that were fearless, but in the face of absolute strength, fearlessness didn't mean victory.

Ye Xiu and Baozi's characters were finally acting separately at this time. They weren't looking for socks, but looking for people. Ye Xiu wanted to know what Who Doesn't Submit and Mo Dare to Turn Back were busy with now! They hadn't been moving at all. Had they also become negative? This was really against Ye Xiu's understanding of them after a brief contact!

Ye Xiu guessed that these two definitely wouldn't give up easily. Maybe they also wanted to use a trick of waiting for the opportune moment. This guess gave Ye Xiu a direction to wander around. Since these two wanted to wait for the opportune moment, they would definitely be watching Jia Dynasty's movements. And what about Jia Dynasty? At this time, they were attacking in all directions, of course, they were watching the movements of the socks.

So, after encountering a pair of socks, Ye Xiu didn't let Yi Nuo step forward to pick them up. Instead, he found cover nearby, quietly waited to the side, and called Baozi over. If any teams passed by and disturbed them, they would have to take action and kill them.

This pair of socks became bait, and finally, it attracted the person Ye Xiu wanted to see.

The Battle Mage, Ling Fengwu, a character in the Jia Dynasty team, was walking alone in this direction at this time. After seeing this pair of socks, he walked over without any hesitation, with all kinds of confidence and decisiveness.

The Battle Mage, Ling Fengwu, picked up the eighteenth pair of socks. At this time, all twenty pairs of socks in the map had been refreshed, and two pairs had not yet been picked up. Among the socks that had been picked up, the Jia Dynasty team had already obtained sixteen pairs. As for the two pairs that hadn't been picked up, Ye Xiu had actually discovered that one pair had already fallen into the hands of the Jia Dynasty. He just deliberately threw this pair of socks out in order to extend the time and get a better score. If you paid attention to the system announcement and the changes in the team's socks, you could easily discover this method.

Jia Dynasty's playstyle was actually very simple. With their absolute strength, they used this method to extend the battle and try to get as many socks as possible. For them, how high a score they could get mainly depended on how much patience they had.

The score of sixteen pairs of socks probably wouldn't satisfy them, but at this time, some people didn't agree.

Two figures suddenly darted out from behind, instantly forming a pincer attack against Ling Fengwu.

Mo Dare to Turn Back!

Who Doesn't Submit!
