Chapter 72 A Little Progress

Li Hao walked out, the big black egg… Huo Ying was the first to rush up, “Damn, Captain, are you a heavy-armour or a sniper? Is that a curve shot? You guessed so accurately, you have supernova level! Were you so bad before? Is there a way to improve quickly?”

Ye Tong snorted coldly, "Silly Black, use your brain. There is no such thing as an unearned success in this world. Without a lot of accumulation and an exceptional temperament, nothing can be accomplished. Learn from him!"

Li Hao smiled and said, "I'm mainly responsible for the sniper position. Everyone still needs further coordination. The opponent is the Cougars, they are very strong. They were holding back a bit at the beginning, but they will be serious later. Everyone, rest for a while. I won't be on for the next game. Ye Tong will play, using the 12235 lineup, with Ye Tong playing the No. 2 position."

"Okay, I'll deal with Robbie!" Ye Tong had long wanted to test Robbie's mettle.

"Robbie won't be on either. He just comprehended the golden zone and needs to consolidate it," Li Hao said.

Musashi and Zhou Naiyi couldn't help but show envious expressions, but they weren't too surprised. After all, Robbie was also a top-tier ACE-level pilot, and his accumulation was sufficient. Comprehension was just a matter of a moment, it's just that they happened to catch up. Ye Tong couldn't help but curl her lips. Look at someone's nonchalant tone. Recently, she increasingly found that she had misjudged him.

Zuo Xiaotang tugged at him, "When did you learn curve shots? Teach me!"

Li Hao smiled, "Actually, there aren't any difficult techniques for this, just fancy moves. We'll practice later."

"Hehe, show off!" Ye Tong seemed to be in a bad mood recently, and was a bit targeted at Li Hao. In fact, everyone was surprised at how Li Hao could do everything. They didn't know how much strength Robbie had actually used.

Li Hao just smiled, not taking it to heart. This girl was still so quick-tongued. Curve shots could catch people off guard, but they were actually quite wasteful. If you don't have accuracy, you won't hit, and then it's mostly over. The main thing is the element of surprise, especially in certain specific situations. Any combat skill is not for show, but for practical combat effect.

When Robbie was charging just now, other tactics would have been relatively passive, and if Robbie really caught up, it wouldn't be easy for him to deal with. The curve shot was undoubtedly the best choice, catching the opponent off guard and also allowing Robbie's golden zone comprehension to be fixed at the best moment.

This was still very important.

At this time, the members of the Cougars were surrounding Robbie, waiting for an answer.

"That's right, it's the golden zone. I was lucky. Second Bro's shot just happened to fix me in the best state. You guys will play the next two games, I need to consolidate."

The entire Cougars team cheered. The members all knew what this meant. S11 was the era of the golden zone. If the captain didn't have such a powerful offensive ability, they would basically have to say goodbye to first-class teams. This was also the consensus of the four major federations. Now, the Cougars' first golden zone had appeared.

"Damn, Boss, this sniper is too fierce, awesome plus! What level is he at?" Mill San Nan couldn't help but ask.

"Stop gossiping. Don't spread Second Bro's affairs, and don't take him as a goal. It's meaningless. As long as he's willing to fight, he will definitely surprise many old friends this year." Robbie's expression was a bit unrestrained. The little bitches on Mars and the moon, just wait.

Everyone was speechless and curious. With Crazy Lion's personality, he really didn't admire anyone. Even if the other party was strong, it didn't seem to be a reason. But Robbie didn't want to say, and others couldn't ask anymore. There were still two games to come.

This battle also brought out the seriousness of the two teams. Essentially, the Tianjing Second Team, with Musashi and Ye Tong as two supernovas, definitely had potential. Adding a top expert, they were definitely suitable as sparring partners.

This kind of practice match wouldn't use any trump cards or necessarily have to win. It was more about practicing the lineup and the understanding between the members. If the relationship was particularly good, they could also give the weaker side some guidance, allowing the other party to play and find their rhythm and feeling.

This was what Li Hao wanted.

He could forcefully carry them to victory, but it would be useless. It would take more time to form a cohesive team. However, overall, the foundation of this team was very good.

Heavy armour was not mainstream, but it was indispensable. Huo Ying's existence greatly improved the team's fault tolerance. This person was technically very rough, but his conditions were very good. He was a natural for heavy armour. His personality was a bit silly and unafraid of anything, and he had plenty of energy. He was actually very suitable for heavy armour. As for the others, they could be trained slowly.

With the groundwork laid in the first game, perhaps because Robbie had said something, the second game was a back-and-forth affair. The pace was relatively slow, but the tactical intentions were all played out. After exactly half an hour of battle, the Cougars team won.

In the third game, the Cougars continued their original tactics without using new ones. Under Zhou Naiyi's leadership, they finally seized an opportunity. Ye Tong and Musashi were truly two sharp knives. Without Robbie's restraint, they at least broke even in their respective positions. And in the sniper position, Luo Xiaopang, when not targeted, actually played quite well. Not to mention, he learned quite quickly with Li Hao, and imitation was also a talent of otaku.

Two to one, the Tianjing Second Team won, which made everyone very happy, and their confidence was also greatly improved. The important thing was that they found a bit of a feeling. Victory was certainly easier to unite people than failure, especially for a brand new team. Even if they knew that the other party was holding back, victory was still too morale-boosting.

Everyone had their own insights. Ye Tong was not satisfied, Musashi was eager to exchange blows with people like Robbie more often, Zuo Xiaotang gave himself a score of seven, a "tried my best" game, which was his consistent principle – it was good as long as it wasn't his fault. Huo Ying felt like he had been reborn. At first, he came here just to be able to play in matches, but now he was actually playing against teams like the Cougars. This was life!

Zhou Naiyi's feelings were the greatest. She had become free. When she was the captain, she felt like she was stuck in a swamp, and she couldn't even perform herself. After Li Hao became the captain, she unloaded the pressure and unnecessary thoughts, and everything became more manageable, even full of confidence. She could also free up her mind, execute tactics, and identify problems more clearly.

Obviously, her judgment was correct, and only Li Hao dared to keep Ye Tong on the bench and not take it seriously. Ye Tong complained, but her actions clearly showed that she was convinced. If it were someone else, she would definitely turn her face immediately, and even if she agreed on the surface, she would definitely hold a grudge in her heart.

So far, the team had truly taken shape. Now it depended on whether they could pass the next hurdle next week. If they had another month, they would be fully confident. Currently, they could only give it their best shot. Although they had won two games, she knew that the Cougars were mostly taking care of them.

Robbie's comprehension of the golden zone in battle really made Zhou Naiyi envious. Although there was currently no commotion outside, all the academies knew that the golden zone would be the dividing line between the top and first-class players in the future.

After the battle ended, everyone went home. Li Hao ignored Musashi and Zuo Xiaopang's chatter and was chatting with A Youyou.

"Hey yo yo, I'm back on the team. There's a campus competition next Wednesday, are you free to come watch?" Li Hao knew that A Youyou was training in dance outside. When he thought of that night, it was too beautiful. Anyway, A Youyou's figure and charm were absolutely amazing.

"Of course I'm coming. I'll sneak out on Wednesday!" A Youyou replied, "What position are you playing?"

"Currently a sniper, I'm very accurate with my gun."

"Bragging. If you play well, I'll give you a surprise." A Youyou said mysteriously.

"Then I'll look forward to it. Are you free tonight after the game? I'll take you to a movie?"

A Youyou smiled sweetly when she received the message, crossing her white legs, "You have to win first."

"Winning is a certainty. What do you want to see? There's a good art film..."

"Senior, why are we watching an art film? I want to see a horror movie!"

Li Hao was stunned. A horror movie? A Youyou? It didn't seem to fit.

Zuo Xiaotang and Musashi looked at Li Hao's silly smile and were speechless. Damn it, having one Teacher Ma in the dormitory was already difficult enough, and now even Bro Hao had fallen into the endless abyss of love.

"Hey, Musashi, how can we get Bro Hao to cough up those concert tickets?" Zuo Xiaotang was fantasizing in his heart.

"...You become A Youyou?"

"Oh, I'm of course willing to dedicate myself. Bro Hao, I'll devote myself to you, can you give me the tickets?"

"Hehe, I'll take more photos and send them to you." He wouldn't care if it was someone else, but this was A Youyou's gift.

"...That's fine, haha, but you have to teach me the curve shot. If I learn this move, maybe I can find a girlfriend too." Zuo Xiaotang was dreaming sweetly.

"What about me?" Musashi asked a little worriedly.

"Fourth Bro, your problem is here!" Zuo Xiaotang pointed to his head. For this kind of person who wanted to rely on critical hits to make girls "lose their resistance," he obviously needed to adjust his thinking.

"Don't teach the little ones bad things. Musashi is the youngest, he hasn't opened his mind yet!" Li Hao said with a smirk.

"Tch, it's just that I haven't met anyone who makes my heart flutter!" Musashi always thought he was a romantic.

"How can you meet someone who makes your heart flutter if you're playing with barbells all day? I told you to go out and have fun, but you won't. No, I think I have to hang out with Teacher Ma. Teacher Ma has a lot of resources. If this continues, those two will be showing off their love and feeding us dog food every day, and life will be impossible." Zuo Xiaotang suddenly seemed to have an epiphany.

"It doesn't matter, everyone's pursuits are different. I want to become stronger, I must comprehend the golden zone!" Musashi clenched his fists. Robbie had obviously stimulated him. Nothing was more touching than experiencing such a realm personally for someone who strictly demanded so much of himself.

Of course, for Musashi, it wasn't pressure but motivation, full of enthusiasm, all the passion poured in.

"You guys go back first, I'll practice physical fitness for another hour." Doing what he thought of, Musashi's life never remained in imagination.

Li Hao and Zuo Xiaotang looked at each other, watching Musashi, who did what he said, a little ashamed.

"Are we too decadent?"

"A little."

"How about we grab a midnight snack to replenish our strength and then think about it?"

"That's a good idea, but my pockets are a little tight this month."

"I happen to have a little money, but we can't eat anything expensive. People are coming to freeload this weekend, so I have to save some."

"Then it's a happy decision."
