Chapter 150 Choosing a Position

"Choose a position."

Zhang Xinjie had already reminded everyone. Right now, what they were looking at was, of course, Lord Grim's positioning.

Because it was a completely enclosed cave map, the bird's-eye view displayed a double-layered scene with a perspective effect. The semi-transparent area was the cave ceiling, overlapping with the solid ground below. Most people would easily get confused looking at this, but professional players naturally didn't have any pressure with their skills. After finding Lord Grim's location from the bird's-eye view, everyone clearly understood what they should pay attention to next.

What they should pay attention to was the distribution of stalactites around Lord Grim.

Very quickly, the professional players understood.

The two characters hadn't clashed for three minutes. There was some luck involved, but that luck had to be built on Ye Xiu's deliberate avoidance. Lord Grim's positioning always paid special attention to the stalactites around him for cover. This cover wasn't as simple as hiding behind a certain stalactite, but rather a very clear grasp of the shielding effect of even a stalactite a dozen or so positions away. In this way, all the stalactites around Lord Grim, from near to far, seemed to be connected into a network, a network that blocked the line of sight, and Lord Grim's final position was the one most completely shielded by this network.

Under this kind of cover, Zhou Zekai wanted to discover Lord Grim, One Autumn Leaf had to coincidentally walk to certain specific positions. But what was even more frustrating was that Ye Xiu clearly knew where these specific positions were, so he would constantly adjust Lord Grim's position.

After completely confirming this, Zhang Xinjie turned his head and looked at their Tyranny's Qin Muyun.

Qin Muyun completely understood the vice-captain's meaning and slowly shook his head, "I can't do it."

Qin Muyun was a player with very good positioning skills, but at this time, he made this judgment without much hesitation. He couldn't do Ye Xiu's kind of evasive positioning.

"Being able to make this kind of positioning requires a considerable accumulation of experience," Han Wenqing said from the side, explaining the reason for Qin Muyun.

"What about you, captain?" Song Qiying asked from the side.

Han Wenqing was stunned for a moment, but after a while, he shook his head helplessly, "I can't do it as meticulously as him."

Experience? Han Wenqing wouldn't be lacking compared to Ye Xiu. Positioning, this basic skill, of course, wouldn't be bad for him, having been immersed in Glory for so many years. But wanting to make Ye Xiu's kind of positioning right now didn't just require experience, it also required considerable calculation and judgment, and that wasn't Han Wenqing's forte.

"Wang Jiexi, what about you?" Zhang Xinjie leaned over and asked in that direction.

"Hard to say." Wang Jiexi shook his head. He also saw the principle behind Ye Xiu's positioning, but after putting himself in that position, he still lacked certainty.

"There's no bird's-eye view in actual combat." Wang Jiexi pointed out the difficulty. This made several players who thought "I can do it too" after switching perspectives suddenly wake up from their complacency.

"What's the point of doing this kind of thing?" Someone said from who knows where, the words full of sourness, but it was also the truth. Doing this was still far from winning the match!

What on earth is this guy up to?

Everyone began to speculate on Ye Xiu's intentions again, but those who could quickly perceive this were no longer them, because they didn't fully understand the exchange between the two teams on the stage before the match.

On the Samsara team's player seat, Jiang Botao quickly realized Ye Xiu's purpose after noticing his actions.

One breath!

Samsara's Zhou Zekai's first appearance carried this kind of aggressive sharpness, trying to psychologically overwhelm Xingxin first.

But as a result, Ye Xiu used this kind of passive avoidance to grind down this sharpness.

Three minutes. The two sides hadn't exchanged blows, and even if Zhou Zekai achieved victory next, Samsara's momentum and impetus wouldn't be the same.

This subtlety could only be felt by the two sides in the confrontation. At this time, Xingxin looked relaxed, while Samsara? It seemed like they had stabbed into the air, extremely disappointed.

"As expected of Senior Ye Xiu." Jiang Botao had to admit defeat. The psychological pressure created by sending Zhou Zekai out first had indeed been resolved by Ye Xiu. Next, it depended on the victory or defeat of the match.

Lord Grim continued to wander around, still using the same positioning and movement as before. After grinding for these three minutes, Ye Xiu became even more familiar with this map, and Lord Grim's rhythm changed much faster. But it seemed that he still wouldn't have an intersection with One Autumn Leaf for the time being.

Just how long does he plan to grind?

Everyone was thinking about this question, but at this moment, a gunshot suddenly rang out.

Without any warning, Lord Grim raised his hand and fired a shot, a blank shot.

The gunshot echoed in the Stone Bell Forest Cave. Zhou Zekai clearly heard it. One Autumn Leaf stopped, turned around, and immediately pointed in the direction of the sound.

Accurate judgment!

Applause rang out in the venue. This shot broke the previous silence and invigorated everyone.

One Autumn Leaf was already moving, towards the direction of the gunshot.

Lord Grim didn't move, but kept turning his perspective in place.

Ordinary viewers thought that Ye Xiu was actively luring Zhou Zekai over, and was looking for a target everywhere at this time.

It was certainly not wrong to think so. What Ye Xiu did was indeed such a thing, but there was a deeper level that they didn't understand.

In Ye Xiu's positioning background, he fully knew the points where One Autumn Leaf might appear. So he wasn't guarding against three hundred and sixty degrees when he turned his perspective. What he was staring at were only a few points. And for these points, Ye Xiu had made complete preparations for attack.

They were all relatively close points, and the farthest one could only be considered a mid-range distance. The timing that Ye Xiu chose to fire a blank shot was obviously not random. This was the position he had specially selected. In this position, when he and Zhou Zekai met, the distance between the two characters would be relatively close, which was more favorable for the melee-specialized unspecialized class.

Three minutes of deliberate avoidance was not only to deal with Samsara's psychological pressure, but also technical and tactical considerations, luring the snake out of its hole in carefully selected positions, seizing the initiative.

One Autumn Leaf appears!

Among the points that were neither the farthest nor the closest, One Autumn Leaf suddenly rushed out.

Bang, bang!

Two gunshots. Ye Xiu had detailed attack plans for several points. As soon as the opponent appeared, he launched an offensive without any hesitation. After two shots, Lord Grim was about to rush up, but he saw the corner of the gray windbreaker disappear from his sight…

Of course, Zhou Zekai had already seen Lord Grim, but he didn't immediately launch an attack. One Autumn Leaf seemed to be passing by in a hurry, without any hesitation at that point, just a moment and he had already rushed past that point. In just a moment, he appeared and then disappeared.

The opportunity that Ye Xiu tried to seize first was gone in just this moment.
