Mei Guang is a relatively simple person and doesn't suspect whether Grieving Haze is telling the truth or not.
But suddenly, he felt something strange. Why would Liu Hao suddenly invite him to become Jia Shi's data analyst? After all, they had just met, and it was in an online game.
"Why are you inviting me to become Jia Shi's data analyst? Or rather, how did you know I know this area?"
Liu Hao had already anticipated that Mei Guang would ask this and calmly replied, "Because I know you, Luo Ji, a top student in the Mathematics Department, a true genius!"
"..."
"So, what do you think? Want to join Jia Shi? The benefits are excellent!" Liu Hao enticed.
But Mei Guang wasn't interested and said, "Sorry, I'm swamped."
"Don't worry, Jia Shi's data analyst doesn't need to check in every day. Coming in once a week is enough, and you can learn more about Glory. I can even arrange for you to experience a professional match!"
Upon hearing Liu Hao's words, Mei Guang was immediately tempted, but not because of the professional match. Instead, it was because he could learn more about Glory, which was what he was genuinely interested in.
Learning at a prestigious eSports club is definitely faster than exploring on his own!
"Alright!" Mei Guang agreed, "I can be Jia Shi's data analyst, and I don't need a salary, but you must teach me about Glory and improve my skills!"
"Of course, a Glory data analyst should be a Glory expert. That's something I, as the captain of Jia Shi, should do."
"It's vice-captain," Sun Xiang corrected once again.
Liu Hao ignored Sun Xiang. Mei Guang agreeing to become Jia Shi's data analyst was an unexpected gain tonight. Even if they couldn't kill Jun Mo Xiao tonight, it was still worth it.
"Now, can you tell me the secret of the Burial Ground dungeon strategy?" Mei Guang asked.
"Of course," Liu Hao said in a low voice, "The secret of the Burial Ground dungeon strategy is actually... monster trapping!"
"Monster trapping?"
"Simply put, it's using precise attacks to push the monsters into the cracks in the walls, causing a map kill. By trapping the monsters in the wall, you can save several seconds for each one," Liu Hao explained. "Even the boss in the second stage can be trapped. If successful, you can save one to two minutes."
"I see..." Mei Guang thought this method seemed feasible.
"But while the theory works, it's tough to execute. Jun Mo Xiao is very skilled, and his teammates are also powerful, so they can quickly trap the monsters and set an unbelievable record for the dungeon," Liu Hao said. "But if you try it yourself, you might not even be able to trap a single small monster. Of course, I don't mean to underestimate you; I'm just saying that monster trapping is very challenging."
Mei Guang nodded, "I understand. I just need to know the theory. Thank you for telling me."
"You're welcome!"
After exchanging contact information and adding each other as friends, Mei Guang officially joined Jia Shi, although without Tao Xuan's approval. However, Tao Xuan isn't a fool; he definitely wouldn't let go of such talent as Luo Ji.
...
Mei Guang no longer thought about finding Jun Mo Xiao and instead enthusiastically went to study the dungeon strategy. Meanwhile, Liu Hao continued to lead Sun Xiang in search of Jun Mo Xiao.
Halfway through, a player suddenly appeared in the middle of the road.
"Flowering Tree!" Sun Xiang exclaimed. He recognised this ID as the one that suddenly appeared the last time when they were ambushing Ye Qiu. Initially, he thought he was just an ordinary online player, but he turned out to be a top expert. Because of underestimating him, Sun Xiang was beaten badly.
Later, Sun Xiang learned that Flowering Tree's operator was actually Huang Shaotian, the vice-captain of Blue Rain.
But now, it was unclear whether the current operator of Liu Mu was the account card owner himself or Huang Shaotian.
Hearing a sound behind him, Flowering Tree quickly turned around and relaxed when he saw it was just an Ammunition Expert and a Berserker.
That's right. Huang Shaotian was indeed the current operator of Flowering Tree. Some time ago, Ye Qiu asked him for help, saying that Jia Shi's people kept coming to him as sparring partners, and he couldn't take it anymore.
Upon hearing about Ye Qiu's "tragic experience" at Jia Shi, Huang Shaotian was immediately outraged, cursing Liu Hao and Sun Xiang for a long time. Then, he logged in and launched a surprise attack, wiping out Liu Hao, Sun Xiang, and the rest of Jia Shi's six-man team, giving Ye Qiu a hard-earned relief.
Now, Ye Qiu called him again because the nine major guilds were teaming up to hunt him down. With no one else to turn to, only Huang Shaotian could help.
"Are you two fans of Hundred Blossoms? A Berserker and an Ammunition Expert? Do you know how to use Blossoming Blood Scenery? Want me to teach you? However, even if you learn it, it won't be of much use. Blossoming Blood Scene is just that; after so many years, it's been thoroughly studied, but it can still be used in online games..." Huang Shaotian's mouth was like a machine gun, not stopping for a second.
It was confirmed—this person was Huang Shaotian. Liu Hao and Sun Xiang exchanged glances, and in a rare moment of understanding, they launched an attack together.
Huang Shaotian saw that two ordinary online players dared to attack him and immediately laughed, "Aren't you two a bit too bold? Do you know who I am? Let me tell you... Wait, wait, wait, I can't tell you yet..."
But as he spoke, Huang Shaotian's smile gradually froze, and he exclaimed, "Damn! You two actually know Blossoming Blood Scene!"
And then... Flowering Tree was sent flying by Sun Xiang's sword, then blasted back by Liu Hao's grenade, landing right in front of Sun Xiang, who sent Liu Mu into the ground with another sword.
Huang Shaotian was stunned. What just happened? He had just logged in and hadn't even said a few words before these two ordinary players used Blossoming Blood Scenery to beat him up!
Gradually, to resist the Blossoming Blood Scene, Huang Shaotian's hand speed increased, instantly surpassing 550 without any signs of hand speed breakdown, even though he hadn't warmed up. But even so, he was still being chased around by Blossoming Blood Scene.
Huang Shaotian slowly realised that something was wrong. These two online players were definitely not ordinary because ordinary online players couldn't have such strong skills, nor would they know Blossoming Blood Scenery!
"Who are you two? Are you Sun Zheping and Zhang Jiale? Didn't you two retire? Why are you stirring up trouble in the online game... Stop, stop, stop! I'm Huang Shaotian!"
"Good evening, Huang Shao!" Liu Hao finally couldn't resist greeting him because Huang Shaotian was just too noisy.
Huang Shaotian fell silent. This voice was familiar, but it definitely wasn't Zhang Jiale's voice.
"Die!" Sun Xiang roared.
Huang Shaotian instantly recognised the voice—it was Sun Xiang! Last time when he fought Sun Xiang, Sun Xiang had let out the same roar.
And the one partnering with Sun Xiang could only be Liu Hao!
"Damn, damn, damn, damn!" Huang Shaotian cursed. He realised that these two were definitely seeking revenge on him!
