Chapter 1 A Gathering of Criticism

The chorus of accusations made it impossible for Mo Fan, who usually paid no attention to his surroundings, to ignore them. He blankly stopped operating, and Deceitful Ripples stood foolishly to one side.

Having this guy fight was just making things worse; not having him fight was far more acceptable. The players from Team Tiny Herb immediately had no objections, and the combat system began to operate perfectly once more.

As for Team Happy, without Mo Fan's disruption, although their coordination wasn't as skilled as Team Tiny Herb's, they quickly achieved good results under Ye Xiu's constant guidance. After all, they were just fighting a dungeon Boss, and there weren't too many changes. The members of Team Happy didn't lack the technical ability; they just needed more practice coordinating with each other.

Because they needed to maintain the operation of the system, everyone was too busy to check what kind of expression Mo Fan, the cause of so much resentment, was making. They just saw Deceitful Ripples standing blankly to one side in the game, completely clueless about what he should be doing. People like Chen Guo, with their sharp tongues but soft hearts, were already overflowing with sympathy.

However, she also knew that this shouldn't have been unexpected by Ye Xiu, right? Not including Mo Fan in the commands was definitely intentional. Otherwise, with Mo Fan's skill, if Ye Xiu was willing to bring him into the system, and if he could listen to commands, there wouldn't be any problems. The problem was that Ye Xiu had no intention of doing so, and Mo Fan didn't even have the chance to refuse in an annoying way.

As a result, Mo Fan just stood awkwardly to one side, but he was able to discover the problem through the perspective of an observer.

The two sides' attack systems did indeed frequently leave opportunities for attacks. However, these opportunities were intentionally prepared for other people, not for him.

The movements and skill attacks of the players on both sides were carried out smoothly in the process of complementing and connecting with each other. Everyone had something to do; no one was idle. Especially on Team Tiny Herb's side, the coordination between the characters was even more perfect, the combat process was well-paced, and flowed like water. And his previous behavior of attacking to "seize opportunities" was completely destroying this smooth aesthetic. If they were as harmonious as one person, then his insertion was like a tumor growing on that person.

Yes, a team tumor…

Mo Fan didn't know where he had heard this term before, but now he suddenly realized that he seemed to be just such an existence. On the Team Tiny Herb side, he was; and on the Team Happy side, where he had been getting along for a while, he was the same.

He couldn't put out good damage in the previous ten-person dungeon.

Now, in the twenty-person dungeon, he was simply being left to the side, unable to deal damage.

Mo Fan realized that there was a relationship between these things. He could fight in the ten-person dungeon because there was more space at that time, and there was always extra room for him. But now, in the twenty-person dungeon, facing a Boss, the space seemed very tight with their highly coordinated style of play. If he wanted to find space in this, there was only one way: to integrate into this system. Otherwise, he would only invite all kinds of scolding every time he made a move, just like before. That kind of approach wasn't integration; it was like stabbing someone with a knife, dissecting their system.

So, how should he integrate?

Mo Fan didn't want to just stand by and watch; he was also trying to find a way.

He knew that Ye Xiu definitely had a way to squeeze him in as well, but it was harder for Mo Fan to ask him for guidance than it was to kill him. Mo Fan was determined to rely on himself. He carefully observed the two systems, thinking about how to enter them, so that he could have the opportunity to attack without hindering others.

The battle continued.

Because the system was already operating smoothly, everyone just needed to execute their roles; there wasn't much need for command, unless there was a mistake.

But Ye Xiu kept commanding, constantly instructing the members of Team Happy to do this and that.

Isn't that unnecessary? Many people didn't think so. When fighting the monsters, the commands were extremely simple, relying on everyone's own performance. But now, with this Boss, the commands were so detailed; it was a bit of an overreaction.

But Team Tiny Herb's captain, Wang Jiexi, not only didn't have this thought, but also listened carefully to Ye Xiu's commands, and even occasionally took the opportunity to turn his perspective to look at how the members of Team Happy were operating.

This guy is creating opportunities for that ninja! Wang Jiexi saw through it.

The few members of Team Happy that he had mentioned before were all very obviously strong. In comparison, Little Cold Hands, Steamed Bun Invasion, and Chasing Haze were somewhat inferior. And then there were Steamed Bun Invasion and Deceitful Ripples; Wang Jiexi couldn't quite figure out these two for the moment, so he hadn't commented on them yet.

Judging solely from the perspective of operational technique, there was no doubt about the skill of these two. However, evaluating the strength of a professional player couldn't be done solely on the basis of operation.

This Steamed Bun Invasion occasionally had some inexplicable and bizarre actions, which even Wang Jiexi found strange, because he couldn't see the intention behind these actions. It seemed that the guy just came up with them randomly.

As for Deceitful Ripples, Wang Jiexi had observed before that this guy was also fighting very bravely, but it always felt a bit out of place. It wasn't until they began to surround and kill the Boss, and this guy repeatedly jumped out to disrupt the coordination between the two sides, that Wang Jiexi understood that this guy had the skills of a professional player, but his team awareness was basically zero. This kind of guy should have been given a lot of instructions, but Ye Xiu didn't say a word to this guy.

Wang Jiexi was a bit clueless at first, but now that he noticed Ye Xiu's commands, he finally understood that he was subtly making that guy aware of the importance of team cooperation, right?

But could that guy realize this?

Wang Jiexi turned Wang Bu Liu Xing's perspective and glanced at Deceitful Ripples a few more times. Game characters never had expressions, so Wang Jiexi certainly couldn't see through this person's thoughts. However, Wang Jiexi could clearly see the gaps that Ye Xiu had coordinated the team to leave. But time and time again, Deceitful Ripples missed these gaps by standing there stupidly, which made Wang Jiexi a little indignant. He even had the urge to go up and tell this blockhead how to integrate into the team.

Wang Jiexi was thinking about these things when Team Happy's team coordination once again revealed an extra gap, a gap that could be filled, thereby entering the overall team operation. At this moment, Deceitful Ripples, who had been standing still for a long time, finally moved. A figure flashed, which made Wang Jiexi's spirits lift, and he turned Wang Bu Liu Xing's perspective to look at Deceitful Ripples' disappearance.

Sure enough, it's there!

Wang Jiexi saw at a glance the gap in Team Happy's team, and this Deceitful Ripples was heading for exactly that point.

Charge in, attack…

Finally, he's getting the hang of it.

As the captain, Wang Jiexi was habitually attentive to this kind of thing, and was almost thinking in his place. Seeing Deceitful Ripples finally rush into this gap was like watching Tetris blocks pile up high, and then a long block came down, clearing four lines at once, which was very satisfying. But before he could finish feeling satisfied, he saw Deceitful Ripples retreat again, and flash out of that gap again.

"What is he doing?" Wang Jiexi was at a loss for a moment, then he understood.

The truth made Wang Jiexi feel a bit dumbfounded, because this Deceitful Ripples was too inexperienced in this regard. After rushing in and completing this attack, he didn't know that he could take advantage of the situation to enter this system; he didn't know what to do next. So he decisively ran out again, so as not to be regarded as a tumor again.

"Well done!" Wang Jiexi, after observing this, also made time to send a message to Ye Xiu's Lord Grim to express his condolences.

"Same to you," Ye Xiu replied, understanding what Wang Jiexi was referring to. But in terms of guiding newcomers, Wang Jiexi was even more dedicated and painstaking for Gao Yingjie.

Wang Jiexi, full of emotion, continued to watch Ye Xiu patiently help Deceitful Ripples in this way. However, after this Deceitful Ripples took this first step, the rest began to cause anxiety again. This guy really found opportunities accurately; he could capture these gaps that Ye Xiu left him. But the problem was that he only attacked once each time, and then waited for the next time with great satisfaction. This guy didn't realize that he had actually pushed open the door, but didn't go in, and instead played a game of "I jump in, I jump out." No wonder it's so troublesome; this is also a very stubborn guy! Wang Jiexi just thought so; he didn't know that there were so many past grudges between Mo Fan and Ye Xiu.

Until the number one Boss was defeated, Deceitful Ripples still hadn't completely walked through this door.

First kill announcement.

Because it was a combination of two guilds, this announcement was no longer in the name of the guild; the team members were listed one by one without omission.

This time, the uproar that was caused was even more different.

The professional players were fine; those in that circle mostly knew that Wang Jiexi and Ye Xiu had gone to farm the 20-person dungeon together. But what the ordinary players saw at this time were the dazzling character names of Team Tiny Herb's championship team, and next to them were the members of Team Happy, who were both praised and criticized.

What exactly was going on? Why did this group of Team Happy's guys run to farm dungeons with the people from Team Tiny Herb?

The ordinary players couldn't figure it out. In the dungeon, the members of Team Tiny Herb were also going crazy at this time. Wang Jiexi was very seriously telling Ye Xiu, "You can't do this, absolutely not."

"I think it's quite reasonable!" Ye Xiu said.

"Reasonable or not, it won't work!" Wang Jiexi couldn't seem to find a reason to refute Ye Xiu's theory of being reasonable, but he resolutely denied it, "Just because you're an unspecialized class, you need all the equipment? That's too much of a cheat!"
