Chapter 94 - The Exciting Empire Finals

Tang Zhiyun and the others were very happy to have won the first battle.

Yu Lei said, “I didn’t expect us to finish off a team so quickly. This is a good start.”

Xie Minghai laughed and said, “Little Chuchu’s method is really useful. We just have to stay here and continue to lure the other teams over, right?”

Tang Zhiyun said, “I think that the reason why the ‘Atlas Gang’ was lured here just now was that we were close to them. That was why Junior Sister’s light wave could reach them.”

“Senior Tang is right,” Chu Luo said. “We’ve dealt with the ‘Atlas Gang.’ All the other teams know about it. They must be coming up with countermeasures and won’t fight us easily.”

Tang Zhiyun thought for a moment. “What do you think we should do next, Junior?”

“What do you know about the Thirty-Six Stratagems?”

After Chu Luo suddenly asked this question, the four of them fell silent.

Chu Luo didn’t want them to answer. She curled her lips and said, “I’ve studied this a little. Why don’t we have some fun?”

Chu Luo’s casual statement about having some fun was destined to kick off a bloody war.

The players had no rest for the eight hours of the national finals.

It was 2:05 in the Imperial Capital.

World news:

[Congratulations to team “Phoenix Skies Legend” for defeating team “Breaking Out of the Empire” and team “Sky Dragon Legend.”]

“F*ck! F*ck! What happened?”

“I feel like I’m not smart enough. What exactly happened in the first few hours?”

“‘Breaking Out of the Empire’ and ‘Sky Dragon Legend’ are in different places. How did ‘Phoenix Skies Legend’ manage to reap the benefits when the others were fighting?

“No, no, no… I think in the past few hours, ‘Phoenix Skies Legend’ has been using a few tricks. I’m from the Chinese department. Recently, I’ve been studying Sun Tzu’s ‘Art of War.’ I think they used strategies from there.”

…

The thread suddenly fell silent. It was obvious that everyone had gone to look up “Art of War.”

After more than ten seconds.

“Got it. Got it. I think it’s the ‘cicada shedding its shell’ strategy.”

“Tossing a brick to attract jade.”

“Killing with a borrowed knife.”

“Luring the tiger out of the mountain.”

“A diversion.”

…

Everyone just about listed out all of the 36 stratagems.

After a few minutes of silence, only the word “Damn!” could be heard to express their feelings.

Even many Chinese department professors joined the discussion.

Everyone came to a conclusion. “Those who can come up with such a plan is definitely not an ordinary person.”

The more intense the discussion outside was, the worse the expressions of Ouyang Yu’s team sitting in front of the computer became.

One of them couldn’t hold it in anymore and said in frustration, “Leader, we’re the only team left. We have to find ‘Phoenix Skies Legend’ before their skills cool down. Otherwise…”

“How are we going to find them?” The other person’s tone became even more irritable. “‘Phoenix Skies Legend’ has directly eliminated three teams. This proves that [Bai Ling] is definitely a god’s smurf account. How much of a chance do we have against a smurf account?”

“How can you dampen your own prestige by boosting the morale of others? What’s so great about a smurf account? Their team has only one [Bai Ling]. It’s not like we haven’t faced the others in that team before. Let’s kill the other four first, then deal with [Bai Ling]. I don’t believe we can’t defeat him!”

“You make it sound so easy…”

“Shut up, all of you.”

Ouyang Yu’s expression darkened. “It’s just [Bai Ling] and you’re already so scared!”

At this point, he took out his phone.

Another person was a little worried. “Team leader, the ‘Battle of Lightyears’ gaming team has a rule that you can’t contact the outside world during the competition. If you’re discovered, you’ll be disqualified immediately and your account will be deleted.”

The reason why participants weren’t allowed to contact the outside world during the competition was to prevent them from asking about the situation of the other team. Therefore, before the competition, ‘Battle of Lightyears’ had sent staff to the participant’s rooms to install several instruments. At the same time, they had also sent staff to guard the outside.

When Ouyang Yu heard this, the corners of his lips curled up. “In the capital, no one has ever been able to stop me, Ouyang Yu.”

Then, he said to another person, “Find a way to block the instruments inside.”

That person didn’t say anything. He gave him an OK sign and took out another laptop to quickly type on it.

“It’s done.”

Ouyang Yu dialed a number quickly and the other party picked up quickly. He said, “Send the news of Tang Zhiyun and the others cheating to the Internet, and… also upload the video of Xue Hui being beaten up and sent to the hospital.”

He put away his phone and smiled confidently.

On the other side.

Tang Zhiyun and the others were extremely happy to have killed two teams in one go without using much strength.

Xie Minghai said, “I didn’t expect that the Thirty-six Stratagems in Sun Tzu’s ‘Art of War’ can be used in a game. Little Chuchu, you’re so great at Chinese literature.”

Yu Lei slammed his desk and swore. “I’ve decided. Once the competition is over, I’ll immediately go and learn the ‘Art of War.’ When we enter the World Championship, we’ll use this. It’s best if we can beat the foreigners until they can’t fight back.”

Although the other three didn’t say it out loud, they shared the same thoughts as him.

Everyone discussed for a while before their excitement cooled a little.

At this moment, Chu Luo said, “There’s only ‘What Can The Heavens Do About Me’ left. The competition will end in more than an hour. Since they’ve been hiding behind and don’t dare to come out, we’ll lure them out.”

After Chu Luo finished speaking, Tang Zhiyun suddenly said in a worried tone, “Ouyang Yu is a sinister and cunning man. He will do anything to win the competition. I am worried that…”

“Boss, what are you worried about?” Xie Minghai interrupted him. He felt that he was being too careful. “They can’t do anything in the competition right now. Three years ago, we were tricked by him. That’s why we were found out that you played two roles alone.”

Yu Lei also thought that Tang Zhiyun was being paranoid.

Xu Qingfeng also voiced his opinion at this moment. “I’m just afraid that Ouyang Yu will use his identity to spread some negative comments about us outside the arena.”

Xie Minghai sneered. “What rumors can he spread about us? If he dares to do that, we’ll hand over the video from that night. Looks like we didn’t beat up Xue Hui badly enough.”

Xu Qingfeng said, “We’ve already completely deleted all the videos he’d recorded that night. It’s impossible for him to have a video from that night.”

Tang Zhiyun asked, “Junior, what do you think?”

Chu Luo thought for a while and said, “What they can use to attack is that incident from three years ago. I wonder what the gaming team will do if that incident from back then is brought up again.”

Chu Luo’s words caused the four of them to fall silent.

Xie Minghai slammed his stool. “Ouyang Yu, that treacherous bastard. If he dares to bring up what happened three years ago, I’ll definitely fight him to the death!”

“Senior Xie, don’t be rash.” Chu Luo’s tone carried a comforting confidence. “I’ve studied the competition rules before. If the participants really have a previous record of misconduct, they’ll deal with it according to the situation. In your case, it shouldn’t be a big deal.

“So, we should take the initiative to attack now.”

…

On the other side.

Tan Yinfei was reporting to Li Yan. “Master, ‘What Can The Heavens Do About Me’ wants to block our equipment.”

Li Yan pursed his lips into a cold smile and said, “Stop him.”

With one order from Tan Yinfei, all the information on the other side was intercepted.

Tan Yinfei asked, “Master, do you want the gaming team to disqualify them?”

Li Yan looked at the computer in front of him and didn’t look up. “Not for now.”

…

Ouyang Yu and the others waited and waited but didn’t hear any news of “Phoenix Skies Legend” being disqualified from the competition on the World Channel. Instead, they bumped into “Phoenix Skies Legend.”

The moment the two teams faced each other, their swords were drawn. A fight could break out at any moment.

[Laughing Ocean]: “I underestimated you.”

[Turbid Liquor Glutton]: “Why are you spouting so much nonsense? I’m only waiting for this to end quickly so we can hold a celebration party.”

[Laughing Ocean]: “Ha! A celebration party? That depends on whether you can afford to have it!”

The more confident and arrogant [Laughing Ocean] was, the more ruthlessly he would be slapped in the face.

On this day, everyone paid attention to this match with their mouths agape and breaths held when the last two teams fought.

That feeling where their hearts beat faster in time with the various skills on the screen. The excitement and exhilaration…

“F*ck! How did [Bai Ling] manage to use this godly skill? He can actually use this ultimate skill a millisecond after the skill has cooled down. I think his opponent must be stunned.”

“The team members of ‘Phoenix Skies Legend’ work together really well. That [Carefree Wanderer]’s handling is also excellent. Also, the move he used with [Bai Ling] blinded me.”

“Did you notice that ‘Phoenix Skies Legend’ seemed to have used another strategy just now?”

Many couldn’t help but look through the thirty-six stratagems.

…

Half an hour later, someone in the “What Can The Heavens Do About Me” team became anxious.

“F*ck! Whose smurf account is [Bai Ling]? This is simply cheating!”

“Three years ago, I didn’t realize that Tang Zhiyun and his men were this good at maneuvering and using skills. Damn it! If this continues, I will be killed by them!”

“What should I do? They’re attacking me in unison. F*ck! [Bai Ling] is using a chain skill. I can’t hold on anymore.”

“Shut up, all of you.”

Ouyang Yu was already irritated to begin with. Hearing their words, he got even more irritated. He gritted his teeth and said, “Hold on, everyone. As long as my men upload the evidence regarding Tang Zhiyun and the gang online, the gaming team will definitely investigate. Even if the gaming team doesn’t investigate, the police will get involved in Xue Hui’s matter!”

When they heard this, they immediately perked up and treated the game seriously.

However…

3:47 PM.

World news:

[Congratulations to team “Phoenix Skies Legend” for defeating “What Can The Heavens Do About Me” and for advancing to the World Championships.]

Everyone’s computers instantly exploded with dazzling fireworks.

Ouyang Yu and his teammates fell back into their chairs with ashen expressions.

Tang Zhiyun and his teammates took off their earphones and jumped up from their seats.

“Ahhh… We’ve finally advanced!”

“Hahaha… I knew we could do it!”

“Owww… I’m so excited!”

…

The boys jumped and screamed. In the end, they actually cried tears of joy.

While Tang Zhiyun and his teammates were filled with joy, the expressions of Ouyang Yu and his team were extremely ugly.

Ouyang Yu immediately stood up and pounded the computer in front of him. With a fierce expression, he said, “I am not going to let you participate in the World Championships!”
