Chapter 471 - A Competition?

“Why are there so many zerg?!”

Looking at his base that had been swallowed by the sea of zerg, Gu Tingyu’s expression was hard to describe.

More importantly, a large group of people had been watching his defeat after he became the commander of the powerful Protoss for less than 20 minutes!

He had just gotten out of the base, but he was already buried by the ocean-like zerg!

How come I only got zealots and dragoons, but they already developed to this stage?

His mind lingered at the moment when the base exploded.

“...” His old face turned dark.

“The zerg looks powerful...” A few men from the Demon Clan scratched their hairy heads and said.

“Humph! The zerg are ugly and disgusting!” Mu Qing said with a snort. “Who would choose to play them!”

...

“Junior Sister Mu, you’re right,” Xun Yuan said, “Senior Gu was only careless. After all, the zerg are no match for the Protoss.”

This time, Gu Tingyun chose only three zerg as his enemies and then got busy with building the gateway.

About a dozen minutes later, a sea of zerg swarmed up.

“So many of them again?!”

The audience felt sick as their faces almost turned green.

Gu Tingyun decreased the number of enemies to one! One versus one battle!

“I don’t believe it...”

Three minutes later, waves of zerglings swarmed into the Protoss base.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Meanwhile, the few zealots in Gu Tingyun’s base watched the waves of zerglings in a daze. “...”

The audience fell silent.

“The zerg are so powerful?!”

Gu Tingyun quickly changed his race to play zerg.

Many people returned to their seats and chose to play zerg as well.

Then, their six zerglings were killed by three zealots, and a team of zerglings was killed by six zealots.

After being killed many times, they finally discovered the truth: none of the races was stronger than the other; it was possibly because they couldn’t defeat the computer.

After being tortured by the computer for a while, someone finally complained to the shop owner. Pointing at his computer, Xun Yuan Yelled, “Sir! How come the computer is so powerful?!”

“Is it powerful?” Mr. Fang looked nonplussed. Although the players couldn’t set the degree of difficulty for the computer bots, it should only be a little more intelligent than the bots that he had played against before he traveled through space and time; it wasn’t as dumb as before in some areas.

For example, in the original version, when a player sent two base units like SCVs to lure the base units from the bots, the latter would all follow out like morons, which made the 1 vs 7 match a piece of cake.

“How can you say it’s not difficult!” Mu Qing seconded Xun Yuan while eating spicy sticks.

She glanced at Mr. Fang’s screen and saw that he was still playing the campaign mode. “Why don’t you try it?”

Mr. Fang said in disdain. “Why should I?”

He continued with the campaign mode.

“Ugh? Is it possible that the boss doesn’t know how to play this mode?” Jiang Xiaoyue leaned over curiously. After all, the shop owner would have shown off his skills whenever he was given the opportunity.

This wasn’t his style.

“Impossible. I just don’t want to lower myself to be on the same level as these people who couldn’t even defeat bots,” Mr. Fang said while staring at the screen. He discovered that when he played the campaign mode from the RPG angle, it felt like playing Resident Evil. Occasionally, the players were allowed to drive Vultures or other battle vehicles and could even operate the Wraiths and Starcruisers from the first-person perspective. It was much more interesting compared to the campaign mode in the original version.

More importantly, he would soon meet the Queen of Blades!

Although the Queen of Blades was now still a human, Mr. Fang was still pleased that he could see her.

“What do you mean by ‘lower yourself’?!” The people who had complained about the difficulty of the game were not happy.

“Right. How could he say that?!”

“I’m sure he can’t beat the computer either! He doesn’t dare to try it!”

Mr. Fang: “...”

Meanwhile, an old laughter came. “I finally defeated them!”

“Ugh?!”

“Look! Senior Gu has defeated the computer!”

“So soon?!” Wang Xie looked over in surprise. Sure enough, a victory icon appeared on the screen.

“Of course!” Gu Tingyun said with confidence, “This game is good. You have to control all your resources carefully and have a clear understanding of your resources and troops. The most important thing is that you must multitask.”

Gu Tingyun shared his experience. “In this battle, I directed the ground troop to guard the entrance to the valley with the defense arrays. On the other hand, I sent out small teams of soldiers to harass the enemies in transportation spiritual boats under my personal control, taking advantage of their lack of air control methods. Meanwhile, I developed my force at top speed. By working three lines at the same time, I took their base without a sweat!”

“Excellent!” Zong Wu praised gustily, “Senior, that is an amazing strategy that you thought of yourself!”

“The senior taught arrays in Heavenly Academy! He excels in making strategies!”

“I heard that Senior Gu is one of the best chess players in the world; this strategy was easy for him!”

“The shop owner is indeed good, but old people are more experienced in this field of making strategies!”

The people talked among themselves while nodding.

At this moment, the players of the other two shops were mostly playing the campaign mode.

Meanwhile, Mr. Fang was still calmly playing the campaign mode.

“I’m sure that the scummy shop owner doesn’t know how to play multiplayer mode!” After staying in the group chat for a long while, some people began to call him scummy shop owner as well.

“Otherwise, he wouldn’t keep playing campaign mode all the time.” After all, in the campaign mode, the players could use their own cultivation strength to their advantage.

“Look! Senior Gu destroyed the Protoss with zerg.”

“He’s indeed a shrewd man!”

“Sir!” In fact, Mu Qing had been reluctant to accept Mr. Fang’s title as the President of Heaven-Defying Online Games Guild.

Even the little princess of Jiang Family calls him ‘Boss’, which means that us, Jiang Xiaoyue’s good friends, are one level lower than him too.

At this moment, she said gloatingly, “Didn’t you say that you didn’t want to lower yourself to play with people who couldn’t defeat the computer? Now that Senior Gu has won against several computers, maybe it’s time for you to show your hand?”

“Little Qing!” Yue Bai tugged at her clothes, feeling a headache since she knew that this girl was trying to make trouble again.

“Yeah. Sir, it’s time for you to try it, right?” Others seconded her and shouted, obviously not believing that Mr. Fang, a young man, could be more experienced in leading troops and making strategies than the experienced old men.

After all, this wasn’t a game that one could win with small tricks; it was a battle of strategies.

Helpless, Mr. Fang could only look at Gu Tingyun.

At this moment, battling with the computers obviously couldn’t satisfy Gu Tingyun. He stroked his beard and suggested, “Shall we... have a match?”
