Chapter 20 This?

Wang Ze panicked for a moment, but quickly calmed down. No matter what, the trajectory of this rotating, fiery missile wouldn't reach his position.

But at that moment, a gunshot rang out.

Bang!

Immediately following the gunshot was a collision. The fiery light rotating in mid-air trembled violently, but it didn't go out. Instead, it flew even faster, and after being hit by the shot, its trajectory noticeably changed. Originally, it wouldn't have reached Cassiopeia's position, but now it was enough.

Boom!

The sky suddenly echoed with a booming sound. Wang Ze already knew what this was, but he didn't expect Su Mucheng to possess such exaggerated skill.

Being hit by a Barrett sniper rifle, instantly judging Cassiopeia's position.

Then, while being shot and still unsteady, she quickly tossed the detonator for the heat-seeking missile, and because the detonator couldn't fly that far, she precisely followed up with another shot, extending the detonator's flight distance. What's more, Mu Yu Chengfeng usually uses a hand cannon, which fires heavy artillery shells, unable to achieve such a delicate purpose. This meant that Su Mucheng switched guns for Mu Yu Chengfeng after the detonator was thrown…

Is Su Mucheng really this strong?

As a former teammate, Wang Ze thought he had thoroughly studied Su Mucheng, but he didn't know that Su Mucheng's skills were far more terrifying than he imagined.

The whistling heat-seeking missile fell, and although Wang Ze was desperately trying to maneuver Cassiopeia to dodge, the impact range of the mushroom cloud caused by the heat-seeking missile's explosion was quite wide. Cassiopeia ultimately failed to completely avoid it and was blown against the wall.

Boom boom boom!

Attacks from the Clock Tower, from the Gunner Mu Yu Chengfeng.

Looking down from above, capturing the opponent's position, ultra-long-range fire.

Everything was Su Mucheng's familiar rhythm, a rhythm that Wang Ze had specifically studied and understood, but now, he was trapped within it.

Dodge quickly!

Wang Ze frantically controlled his character, quickly flashing into a blind spot in the Clock Tower's view.

Useless!

Even in a blind spot, Su Mucheng used various methods to send firepower there. The Gunner's series of area attacks meant she didn't need to worry too much about the precision of the attack; as long as it was close enough, it could greatly restrict and damage the target.

The blind spot couldn't hold him; he had to reposition to escape…

But, wasn't this the rhythm that every opponent bombarded to death by Su Mucheng on this map would fall into?

Amid the roaring cannons, Wang Ze froze.

What to do?

He had no plan.

He hadn't prepared for this deviation from his script. He really didn't expect that Su Mucheng would instantly determine his position after such a sneak attack.

Wang Ze's original plan for this match was to use accurate sneak attacks to snipe Mu Yu Chengfeng down, shot by shot. But now, after only one shot, his position was exposed, his ears were filled with cannon fire, and his eyes were filled with flames.

Where else could he go?

The map that Wang Ze originally thought he understood thoroughly now seemed like a mess in his mind, with chaotic routes like a tangled skein of yarn, preventing him from finding a way out.

But making his character stand there was just watching his life drain away from the area-of-effect bombardment.

Wang Ze controlled Cassiopeia to rush out, but should he continue trying to dodge, or turn around and counterattack? Wang Ze hadn't sorted out his thoughts yet, and he didn't have time to sort out his thoughts. On this map, Su Mucheng's attack rhythm was so skilled. Whether Wang Ze dodged or counterattacked, she had ample experience and means to respond.

A trump card?

Didn't Su Mucheng have one on this map too?

And just like Wang Ze, it was the simplest: familiarity.

Familiar terrain, familiar attack rhythm.

In her eyes, Wang Ze's response wasn't difficult at all; she just casually bombed him.

As for Wang Ze, he seemed to be trapped in a survival challenge. He wasn't pursuing victory in the match; he just seemed to want to survive in this barrage of fire.

The match had already lost its suspense from the moment Wang Ze exposed Cassiopeia's position.

Individual competition, second match, Xingxin wins.

"Beautiful!" Chen Guo enthusiastically welcomed Su Mucheng, who had won and was leaving the stage.

"I really don't know what the other side was thinking, actually choosing your most skilled and familiar map for you. How stupid." With victory in hand, Chen Guo was also quite arrogant. As Su Mucheng's super fan, she knew which maps Su Mucheng played well. Chen Guo even recognized this Abandoned Town 7, and even imitated Su Mucheng's playstyle.

"He's not stupid, it's just that I'm not stupid either," Su Mucheng said with a smile.

"Anyway, we won," Chen Guo said proudly.

Wang Ze, who came off the stage, was in a very low mood. How could a match he had prepared so thoroughly for, with so much confidence, turn out like this? His tactical arrangement was met with a head-on blow when he was just executing the first step, and it was a blow to the end, directly knocking him down.

He Ming and Shen Jian both knew the effort Wang Ze had put into this match, and they felt bad for him when they saw his disappointment. But, that's how matches are; everyone tries hard, but in the end, one side will always lose.

"I was still too careless," Wang Ze said with a bitter smile. "I thought I understood the other side's strength and grasped the trump card to win, but I didn't expect that the other side had made progress in areas I didn't understand…"

"Glory is like that, it's endless!" the three unlucky guys exclaimed together, the atmosphere heavy.

"Captain, I'm up!" At this time, the third player from Team Miracle to appear in the individual competition stood up. Miracle's Gunner player, Guo Shao.

Yes, Guo Shao, a name that sounds proud. Before these three former Excellent Era professional players joined, he was the core of this newly formed team.

His name was proud, his position was core, but Guo Shao's personality wasn't like that.

When experienced players joined, he happily gave up his core and captain positions. Enthusiastic, driven, and idealistic, Guo Shao was one of the Glory youths who yearned for the professional circle. And now, he had finally raised his sails and begun his long voyage on this route.

"I wonder who my opponent is?" Guo Shao looked up at the electronic screen, excited for every match.

The electronic screen quickly displayed the match list for the third individual match.

Xingxin, Ye Xiu, Lord Grim.

"Great!" Guo Shao was even more excited.

He Ming, Shen Jian, and Wang Ze exchanged glances, smiling wryly.

Innocent youth, he really doesn't know the cruelty and horror of the professional circle!

"Good luck!" the three still said some words of encouragement, but they had no expectations for this match in their hearts.

"Don't worry, seniors!" Guo Shao gave the three a thumbs-up.

"Go, go! You must win!" the three said insincerely.

Guo Shao went on stage, and Ye Xiu was already ready on this side.

Loading characters, entering the map.

"Great, I actually have the chance to fight against Senior Ye Xiu!" As soon as his character finished loading, Guo Shao couldn't wait to express his feelings.

"Then work hard!" Ye Xiu never refused to communicate with anyone on the field.

"Don't worry, Senior!" Guo Shao called out.

He Ming and the other two facepalmed; what are you telling your opponent not to worry about!

Ye Xiu sent a smiling emoji, and Lord Grim rushed out.

The map was Wilderness 28, a one-on-one battle, a map with some cover but not winding, relatively suitable for a Gunner to play. Guo Shao's map selection was quite standard.

Ye Xiu didn't avoid it and charged straight forward, quickly seeing his opponent.

Boom boom boom!

The sound of cannons rang out, and Guo Shao's Gunner character, Beckett, launched the first attack. Ye Xiu controlled Lord Grim to dodge, unable to retaliate.

Guo Shao launched the attack from the maximum range. Although Lord Grim could use the Gunner's low-level skills, it didn't mean he had the Gunner's long range.

The Gunner's ultra-long range is only acquired after they change jobs. The Gunner's job change skill at level 20, "Heavy Fire Control," strengthens the range of all attacks and skills in this class, as well as the area covered by damage.

"Hehe, Senior's class doesn't have the Gunner's range, right!" Guo Shao actually had time to type, but Beckett's attacks never stopped.

"You want to lock me out of your range?" Ye Xiu replied.

"You saw through me so quickly, Senior."

"A very obvious intention. But, it's not that easy!"

After sending the message, Lord Grim began to charge forward.

Guo Shao immediately controlled Beckett to jump back, while launching a wide range of firepower to block Lord Grim's advance.

"Got you!" The large area of fire covered Lord Grim, Guo Shao excited.

"But I'm closer…" Ye Xiu replied. Lord Grim broke through the fire. Although he took some damage, the distance between the two sides was closing.

"This isn't good." Guo Shao's Beckett continued to use aerial fire to maintain the distance.

"You can't escape!" Under Ye Xiu's control, Lord Grim performed a sliding tackle forward, dodging the incoming cannonball, stood up and used an Arcane Flash, the cold light carrying his character forward for a large distance, and then, he forcefully endured the falling Spike Shot with a Charge.

In an instant, the three skills were all attacking skills with high-speed movement and positioning. The distance between the two sides was instantly reduced to almost within reach.

"Senior is really tough!" Guo Shao exclaimed, as his character changed direction.

Lord Grim suddenly made a beckoning motion.

"Ah yo!" Beckett charged straight towards Lord Grim, out of control.

"You can even use Taunt!" Guo Shao shouted.

Taunt forcibly forces the target to charge towards the taunter, and in the taunted state, the target can only attack the taunter. Although it can't interrupt attacks, it disrupts the opponent's rhythm, especially the rhythm of teamwork.

Neither of them had a team now, so there was no effect in that regard, but Guo Shao's Beckett finally couldn't leave so freely in that short period of time.

Mountain Crash! (Bengshanji)

Lord Grim swung his blade down. Seeing that he couldn't retreat, Guo Shao simply aimed his cannon at Lord Grim.

The cannonball flew out, but Lord Grim suddenly changed his Mountain Crash to a Falling Light Blade, pushing his sword down sharply.

The cannonball flashed past, and the Falling Light Blade directly knocked Beckett down. Guo Shao quickly performed a quick recovery, and the taunt state was now removed, but Lord Grim had already closed in on him.

Sliding Tackle!

Guo Shao's reaction was really fast. He actually used a Sharpshooter skill, Sliding Tackle, at this time. Even if he couldn't kick Lord Grim, he could slide past and regain some distance.

Who knew that Lord Grim would take a step to the side, not even completely moving his body away, and then lift and stomp his foot on the spot. Just at that moment, Beckett slid over.

He stomped on him, and with the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella in gun form, he bombarded his face.

Sharpshooter skill: Trampling Shot.

"It's about time you lost!" Ye Xiu said.
