Chapter 240: Chapter 238: New Tactics
Translator: 549690339
From a distance, Shuihua was watching the remaining squad, with one person riding a bicycle and carrying another away, feeling a sense of relief.
She turned around swiftly to meet up with her teammates.
She felt extremely lucky she didnât reveal her position, these people were just too crazy!
All this for a bicycle â was it worth risking their lives?
Was this bicycle made of gold or silver?
From atop a building across the street, Lance also witnessed the chaotic battle.
He had a gun, but only 8 bullets left. He hesitated whether firing a warning shot could scare these people off and get the bike.
But, considering the possibilities, if these guys rushed over after turning on [Assassinâs Bloodline], he was more likely to face a miserable death. Eventually he had to abandon the thought, and left disappointedly.
Things were going smoother for Super Tomatoâs team. They found a pickup truck.
In fact, he analysed many videos from yesterdayâs competition, hoping to memorize the locations of crucial transportation and weapons to gain an early advantage.
The problem was that Cloud Dream had been a bit over the top. Within the outer and middle circles, vehicles, weapons, and supplies were all randomly generated! They didnât give players a chance to learn it by rote.
Fortunately, they finally got lucky and found a pickup truck.
Without a second thought, two of them jumped into the driverâs seat while the remaining eight climbed into the truck bed, holding daggers and charging to the inner circle!
They had already decided to ram anyone who dared to block their way! If they couldnât ram, they would throw their daggers!
They had specially found similar daggers and spent a lot of time practicing their flying knife skills. With their full force behind each throw, within seven steps, the threat was no less than firing bullets!
After entering the inner circle, Super Tomato suggested a clear strategy, which was unanimously approved by the team:
Quickly raid one or two gun shops, collect all the supplies, and head to the edge of the core area. Find a location easy to defend and hard to attack, set up a base, and engage in positional warfare with the other players!
Even if they were marked as passive players for not initiating attacks, it didnât matter because they were playing defensively. Being marked only meant being open about it, it did not make much difference.
Moreover, Super Tomato and his team didnât believe other teams would cooperate to attack them. There would definitely be betrayals and infighting!
The strategy also held another crucial advantage: This was only the second day of the competition and this strategy was as new, leaving many people unprepared. It was an advantage of new tactics.
As long as they had ample supplies, and everyone strictly followed the plan, the chances of qualifying were very high!
Super Tomato believed: if they still couldnât qualify with such tactics, then it wouldnât be their fault, but a problem of lack of supplies.
The Folk God Squad team Warehouse Bird was on, despite being assured of their exceptional skills and having high confidence in their teamâs combat power after days of training and team building, chose the most conservative route at the beginning: Ignoring everyone, they didnât bother with vehicles or weapons. As soon as they landed, they sprinted directly to the middle circle!
Even if someone tried to block them or pick a fight, theyâd ignore them, keep running, and strive for every second.
Unless they came across weapons and transportation right in front of them, they wouldnât waste a second on the road.
They had confirmed that trying to score points with bare hands and cold weapons was highly inefficient and would only put them in a disadvantageous position. The loss outweighed the gain.
Unless they could farm points like Yi did, otherwise it was totally not worth wasting time in the outer circle.
Even after reaching the middle circle, they wouldnât stop, but simply find some weapons, arm their team quickly, find a vehicle, and continue rushing to the inner circle.
Although the approach differed, after yesterdayâs observation and understanding of the shrinking circle mechanism, most players were now sprinting towards the inner circle.
However, clear and focused teams like the club teams, Super Tomato, and the Folk God Squad were few and far between.
Most players tended to get into fights as soon as they saw an enemy while they were running.
Especially after reaching the middle circle and obtaining weapons, they could hardly resist attacking when they spotted others.
This resulted in most players unable to concentrate on running. They had to get involuntarily stuck in battles and start playing tricks on other players.
If they wanted to move on, theyâd have to fight a life-and-death battle.
Of course, in a big crowd, youâd find all sorts of characters. With the large number of players, it worked the same way. There would always be someone not following the usual path.
One team of players, possibly influenced heavily by Xu Chun, didnât seem eager to go to the inner circle at all. Instead, all armed with cold weapons, they hunted other players in the outer circle.
While hot weapons and supplies were scarce in the outer circle, it wasnât hard to find cold weapons.
This group roamed around the outer circle. Whenever they saw someone, they would rush forward to slash them.
Whether you were a newbie or an expert, you could neither block nor dodge five or six daggers, swords, axes coming at you from all sides. You could only fall helplessly to the ground.
If the numbers were similar, they would first throw a round of axes and daggers, and then rush up to slash. After all, they had been slashing players and had collected plenty of weapons.
After one round, due to the lack of hot weapons in the outer circle, they seemed rather unbeatable!
In the 140 virtual metropolises, wars broke out everywhere. 1.4 million players were engaged in constant battles!
Even the strongest director team was powerless this time!
They simply couldnât keep up and had no idea where to point the camera.
â This trend had appeared yesterday. In order to ensure smooth live streaming, the operation team urgently expanded the director team yesterday and also found two additional commentary teams for simultaneous live streaming.
Even so, they were a bit overwhelmed now!
Just when everyone was busy and confused, the software suddenly began to slip out of the director teamâs control!
80% of the directorâs lenses began autonomous operation to find exciting shots. After quick filtering, the top ten recommended shots were pushed to the front end, for the director team to select, and then pushed to the live stream.
Everyone was dumbfounded, thinking it was a system malfunction. Samuel immediately checked and found that the super user âLin Youâ had intervened in the operation.
She immediately felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief. âNo problem, the boss has stepped in. With the bossâs intervention, there wonât be any problem.
Everyone, just focus on your work.â
The director team was still a bit confused, but now was not the time to discuss. They could only suppress their curiosity and complaints and dive back into work.
But with the system preprocessing the footage, although they still had to handle 20% of the filtering work, the pressure was significantly reduced.
This allowed them to ponder in their hearts, âHow is this filtering done? What mechanism does it rely on?â
Whatâs even more critical is, when was this software made?
If it was made in advance, why didnât they pull it out yesterday?
If it wasnât made in advance⊠thatâs even more terrifying!
Could it be that someone is genuinely capable of creating such complex, elaborate and awesome software overnight?
From what Samuel says it seems that Cloud Dreamâs boss, Lin You, did it.
ButâŠ. is this something a human can do?
