The host, Tian Na, still bewildered, asked, “This operation was quite amazing, wasn’t it? It made you swear, be mindful of it next time.”

KB snapped back to reality, apologized hastily, and then said with a wry smile, “This isn’t just amazing, it’s downright freakish.”

“Well, many viewers are confused. Xiayao and this… Pupil, they coordinated so seamlessly. You didn’t praise them, but praised Prairie Fire instead. He didn’t seem all that extraordinary.” Tian Na wasn’t completely clueless. She had received loads of text messages from viewers seeking clarity on the confusing parts.

“Xiayao and Pupil’s operation was undoubtedly stunning. Not only are they masters of instinctual play, they are also technical experts in free mode. Such an exquisite cooperation only possible from players whose consciousness and operations can match the top professional players.” KB took a sip of water and continued, “But did you see Xiayao’s live chat? The barrage was filled with ‘6s’ and sparkling golden flashes, all cheering for Prairie Fire.”

“There’s no doubt about that. What we want to know is, why was this operation considered extraordinary?” Tian Na did not let KB off, pressing on, “You don’t happen to be clueless about the intricacies yourself, do you? That would disappoint your fans.”

KB gave a splendid grin, saying, “How could I not know? I might be older and lack the quick reflexes to accomplish such extraordinary operations, but I’m not short of experience. You all have to understand, Prairie Fire single-handedly designed the strategy to defeat the level 10 elite monster, right?”

“Is there some kind of trick to it?” This time Tian Na was genuinely puzzled.

“Of course there is. You all saw the extraordinary operation, but you didn’t consider the tremendous difficulty in forming such a plan. Look, this is the fifth elite monster that the Prairie Squad has killed at the same spot. This shows that at the very beginning, Prairie Fire calculated the elite’s patrol route and intersection point, choosing the most advantageous one.”

Tian Na looked at the string of texts she had received, picked out the most representative one, and asked, “A viewer asks if it’s not that difficult to figure out this kind of route.’

KB laughed, “Excuse me for being direct, but whoever asked this must be a newbie. Yes, just film the route of fifty monsters and a computer can calculate it in a moment. However, complex data processing isn’t possible in the game, even if you watch the forums or livestreams.”

“Prairie Fire has not disconnected, which suggests he simulated the patrol routes of fifty monsters in his mind. The human spirit has its limits. The average person would struggle to visualize such a scenario for a few seconds, let alone simulate it for at least twenty minutes without severe brainwave fluctuations causing a forced disconnect by the system. This indicates one thing, his spirit is very strong. Given mankind’s progress up to now, spiritual power is far from fantasy, no need for me to explain it.”

“Prairie Fire managing to hold the simulation for more than twenty minutes, now that’s impressive. His successful consecutive monster kills further prove the accuracy of his mental simulation.”

Tian Na stared at the texts, then said again, “A viewer said he concedes your point. He admires Prairie Fire, but he wants to know about the operational part, which he still finds puzzling.”

KB nodded and said, “Now we come to the operational part. Prairie Fire’s calculating and predicting abilities are terrifying. Plus, he had Xiayao and Miss Pupil cast their skills simultaneously, implying this was a fresh plan. The difficulty lies in two aspects. First, Prairie Fire had to hit the monster’s knockdown point. Having played for so long, the knockdown point isn’t unfamiliar to anyone, let’s not mention other creatures. But for humanoid ones, it’s usually above the knee.”

“Prairie Fire used a heavy crossbow, known for its poor precision. It’s hard to hit a moving humanoid knee, let alone the individual. This is a conclusion drawn from countless trials by professional players. Secondly, the trajectory of Prairie Fire’s crossbow bolt and the two ladies’ skills differed in speed. You saw it yourselves, Prairie Fire didn’t coordinate with the other two before, yet he succeeded on the first attempt. Lastly, the arrangement was simply ingenious.” “Look, this is the tenth elite that the Prairie Squad has killed. This shows Prairie Fire’s precision in choosing the intersection and calculating it. You see, every time they start only upon Prairie Fire’s command and then cast their spells. The point where the spells hit the monster almost exactly overlapped with the previous times. Each monster was hit by two skills, retreated two steps and then Prairie Fire’s steel arrow knocked it down. It fell to its death, every step is crucial. If either companion missed their hit, the monster would take one small step less backward and wouldn’t fall to its death.”

Tian Na contained her laughter, reading another viewer’s text, “A viewer…no, many viewers have sent texts saying that seeing you flag wave for Prairie Fire, you seem to have accepted being his underling. You’ve admitted defeat in your heart.”

KB’s excited face instantly sagged, he said indignantly, “And here I thought you were good friends. How could I possibly admit defeat? Yes, they have cleared the monsters on the second platform, but how will they reach that platform? The corridor between the first and second platform can’t be cleared in the same manner. It must be walked through. The bed crossbow also can’t be loaded, they can’t get to the second platform.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Tian Na saw a barrage of texts. Covering her mouth with a laugh, she said, “The audience is very proactive, expressing interest in seeing how you continue to get your face slapped by Prairie Fire before admitting you’re his little brother.”

KB was at a loss for words…

Listening to the knowledgeable KB’s detailed explanation, and then seeing in the TV the Prairie Squad acting like well-oiled machines with beyond-precise monster hitting, by this point all the viewers understood the ins and outs. They were quite shocked and held some respect while getting a little bit excited, itching to try it out themselves right away.

But, they could not watch the TV station’s program once they entered the game. So, they gritted their teeth and watched with curiosity to see what method the Prairie Squad would use to reach the second platform and how they would deal with the first boss.

Li Yao watched as the last elite fell. He lay on top of the dome in exhaustion. It was just too taxing mentally. He was extremely content with his two teammates.

He even prepared a rope ladder, ready to escape if anyone made a mistake. If he so much as grazes against an Elite Monster five levels higher than himself, he would instantly get killed, with no chance of fighting back.

But to his surprise, the two worked perfectly together with no mishaps. Feng Yi’s awareness and operation were meticulous, this did not surprise him. But the fact that an eight or nine-year-old kid could perform so well, truly made her deserving to be called a future Divine Enthronement expert.

Stretching lazily, she nestled next to Li Yao, exclaiming excitingly: “That was so cool, we’re both at level six now, we gained so much experience. It’s just a shame that the experience required for level six is even greater now, killing an elite only gives 0.5% experience, it’s so frustrating.”

“I didn’t get any experience points.” A bitter voice chimed in from the voice chat. freew(e)bnovel.com

Imperial Pupil retorted impatiently: “Why would you need experience points? You should be grateful that Big Brother is teaching you skills already. Oh right, what about the loots? We’ve killed so many monsters, did we get any good equipment?”

Shadow Dance irritably responded: “Only some magical materials. About twenty-something pieces of Green Equip, three pieces of Blue Equip, but they’re all level ten. And a bit more than one Gold Coin.”

Li Yao chuckled, “Stop worrying so much. You did play a big role. How about this, all the coins we collected will be yours, and when it comes time to distribute the equipment you’ll get a share too.”

“No need, don’t give him anything.” Imperial Pupil murmured.

“Yes, yes, I don’t need anything, as long as you are willing to teach me your techniques.”

However, Li Yao responded soberly: “That’s not acceptable. Since you have joined my team and have made contributions, you should share the loots. It is the result of your labor, nothing else. As for techniques, as teammates and friends, isn’t it normal to discuss them together?”

A look of joy spread across Shadow Dance’s face. “Really?! Leader Li Yao, you’ve really accepted me into your team? Am I really allowed?”

“Your dedication is commendable, so let’s consider you a reserve for now. Whether you can become a part of our small team will depend on everyone’s opinion.” Li Yao didn’t say everything he meant.

“Thank you, I promise I won’t hold you back.” Shadow Dance was overjoyed. One Gold Coin could do a lot; he could sell part of it to supplement his family expenses and use the remainder to equip himself. What’s more, he now had the opportunity to join a top-tier small team. Seeing Prairie Fire’s various ideas and operations, he was utterly in awe of him.

Actually, Li Yao was secretly delighted. There was nothing more satisfying than having the future Thief God join his team. Now, his small team already consisted of two future gods. Though they were still naive, as long as he nurtured them a bit, they would grow rapidly.

Feng Yi opened her mouth to speak, “The viewers are getting anxious and all of them want to know how you can reach the second platform.”

Li Yao raised an eyebrow, “Getting to the second platform is not even a challenge.”

“But the viewers are all looking forward to it and are eager to see how you will reach the second platform without a bed crossbow.” Feng Yi explained, “Some viewers have started placing bets again.”

“How much this time?” Imperial Pupil asked curiously.

“456 viewers have placed bets on whether he can reach the second platform. If the bet becomes established by the System, it will automatically appear.” Feng Yi explained.

“Those rich viewers really have money to spare.” Imperial Pupil sighed.

Li Yao, however, stood up and said, “I did not foresee earning this money so easily. I am almost embarrassed to take it.”

Everyone was speechless. Do you know how many people are watching to see how you can clear the second platform? Do you have any idea how many tens of thousands of people are thinking about the same problem?

Feng Yi suddenly spoke, “Just got word that more than a dozen guilds and clubs have found skilled Hunters and started to clean up the first platform using our methods.”

“There really are a lot of experts.” Li Yao opened his backpack and said, “Then let’s get started. It would be embarrassing if they catch up.”….
