Chapter 472 - There Is Such A Strategy?

Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations

“A match?” Mr. Fang glanced at his own screen. “Are you sure it’s a good idea?”

“Why not?” Xun Yuan said immediately, “We want to watch your sophisticated strategies. Don’t you agree, guys?”

Hearing these words, Mr. Fang knew that it was impossible to decline. So, he nodded and said, “Okay. I’ll have a match.”

Not daring to be careless, Gu Tingyun chose the Protoss that he was the most familiar with.

“Let’s see what race Mr. Fang will choose.” After seeing Gu Tingyun choose the Protoss, the audience walked over and watched Mr. Fang.

Mr. Fang’s cursor hovered on the races in hesitation and then clicked on [Random].

“Huh???”

“How come the shop owner chose random?”

“He is too arrogant and underestimated his opponent!” Zhou Mo said with a snort, “Does he think that he will defeat Master’s Protoss army with a random race?”

After all, it was a match of commanding skills and strategies, not the Legend of Sword and Fairy 3. In the Legend of Sword and Fairy 3, one could defeat Chong Lou with all kinds of items, but this game focused on strategies.

This wasn’t a strong area for young people! The shop owner didn’t look old, and it wasn’t easy for old cultivators to act young; one still could see their true age through their manners and ways of doing things.

In his opinion, the ability to make good decisions and create proper strategies needed time to polish.

“Maybe the shop owner thinks that it doesn’t matter which race he chooses since he is bad at this game anyway.”

“Hahahaha!” Mu Qing convulsed with laughter. “He can’t be so weak and lame.”

Jiang Xiaoyue leaned toward Mr. Fang. “Boss, can you do it? I found the old academy principal has excellent commanding skills.”

“Of course!” Mr. Fang answered casually, “Don’t worry. I can easily defeat seven computers at the same time.”

“Humph! You’re bluffing!” Now, even Jiang Xiaoyue didn’t believe him.

Even if the senior gave you private lessons, you can’t boast like this.

Meanwhile, the game started.

It was a rocky wildness in a medium-sized map. The moment that he entered the game, Gu Tingyun got busy developing his force.

– On Mr. Fang’s side –

Standing behind Mr. Fang, some young guys exclaimed, “Protoss as well?” They were surprised that Random also give Mr. Fang Protoss.

“It’s not good for the opponent to know about your race, right?” Li Wuya said from the side, “The random choice can confuse the opponent, but you guys just told everyone the result, eh?”

“...” Gu Tingyun looked back in displeasure and said, “Keep quiet just like you are watching a chess match.”

However, Mr. Fang didn’t show any intention to restart the game; he continued to make probes.

Then, he sent out a probe to scout, which wasn’t an unusual move.

At this moment, most of the audience turned their attention to Gu Tingyun’s operations; he built a gateway first.

“It seems that Senior Gu wants to test the water with an attack?”

“It looks like it...”

Gu Tingyun had just trained one zealot when Mr. Fang’s probe trotted in.

It strolled past the zealot as if it were in its own base.

Then, it ambled to one of Gu Tingyun’s probes which was working and shot the latter with its particle beam.

The tiny particle beam shot on the probe’s energy shield, creating a streak of pale blue light; it didn’t inflict much damage except consuming some energy of the shield, but its behavior was...

“So arrogant!”

“Is it here to be killed?!”

“Doesn’t he know that his rival has trained a zealot?!”

“Provocation! This is blatant provocation!”

Gu Tingyun didn’t say anything, but the young people behind him rolled up their sleeves indignantly, wishing that they could go up and kill the provocative probe.

It was outrageous!

Gu Tingyun was calm since he had trained two zealots by now; it was a piece of cake to kill a probe.

However, when the two zealots started moving toward it, the probe turned and ran at top speed with a sway of its butt!

“Its good that it knows who’s more powerful!” Zhou Mo nodded and said, “It seems that this probe knows the great power of zealots.”

The moment he said it, Mr. Fang’s probe turned back around and continued to fire at Gu Tingyun’s probe.

Damn it!

The two zealots followed up again.

This time, they didn’t plan to let this unit of Mr. Fang go; they surrounded the probe from both sides.

Mr. Fang’s probe moved to the left for a while before turning a big circle and running out.

It dashed out from the gap between the two zealots.

“It is about to get away again?”

By now, the gateway had trained another zealot.

This zealot exerted force and dashed toward Fang Qi’s probe at a faster speed.

With the new operations, the players had more accurate control of the psionic power in the Protoss units if they could operate them in person.

Mr. Fang’s probe moved in a fancy and dashing fashion, swaying its butt.

Ding!

Two psi-blades struck on the tail wing of the probe; the light shield disappeared, which showed that the damage was high.

Then, the audience watched as Mr. Fang dragged the injured probe away.

“Humph! What was the use of harassing with this probe?” Xun Yuan said in disdain, “It scrambled away after zealots showed their hands.”

“If it is a distraction designed to pull the enemy away from their base, it isn’t a good one!” Wang Xie commented.

“Right!” Zong Wu nodded and said, “Now, Senior Gu can send zealots to harass his opponent’ base.”

After all, the zealots were not like probes which had little damage.

At this moment, someone glanced at Mr. Fang’s base and saw no offensive buildings and not even a defense tower. “Look at the shop owner’s base. He hasn’t even built the gateway yet!”

“He was busy directing the probe to harass and forgot to build his base!”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Hahaha! Now that the zealots are going over, his base will be destroyed!”

“Academy Master Gu’s four zealots are going there!”

“The shop owner is placing photon cannons!”

“It’s too late, no?” Xun Yuan said contemptuously, “He doesn’t have any soldiers; what’s the use of building cannons now? How can he fight?”

“Ugh?! Senior Gu’s zealots are turning back?!” Gu Tingyun’s zealots had covered half of the distance between the two bases when they suddenly turned back.

“Mr. Fang canceled the building of the photon cannon?!”

“How come Senior Gu’s base is on fire?!” Mu Qing exclaimed while pointing at the screen.

They glanced up and almost spat blood on the screen. On the right-top corner behind an inconspicuous hill, Mr. Fang’s photon cannon appeared out of the blue and began firing at Gu Tingyun’s probes and base!

Some probes that came out of nowhere were still busying building more photon cannons!

“!!??” No one had noticed this place!

The two newly-trained zealots hurried up to help. Before they could get close, they felt a sense of dizziness when they saw another two photon cannons hiding behind the concealed location of the first one!

Boom! Boom!

One zealot was dead.

Not only Gu Tingyun, but the players watching from behind felt as if they would spit out blood as well!

Damn it! What kind of strategy is this?!
