Chapter 107 Terrain

At the same time, in two locations, two groups of people were making their plans.

On one side, a circle of people were serious and tense, pointing at maps, discussing and coordinating with each other. On the other side, a few words were enough to complete the task, ending with a picture of one person despising everyone else, and everyone else resentfully hating that one person.

Han Jia Gongzi's plans were sometimes not really plans, just a simple judgment. And this judgment wasn't always that brilliant, but Han Jia Gongzi was always the fastest to react, always the first to realize, so he always had the capital to despise others.

Did he really have a plan? No one knew, but everyone knew that this guy always liked to hold something back, and then amaze everyone at a special moment.

But after doing this many times, everyone sometimes felt that Han Jia Gongzi always held back and didn't reveal the plan completely, perhaps because he really didn't have a complete plan from the start. This guy's predictions about the situation were always accurate, and his plans were highly targeted, perhaps because he only quickly thought and came up with a plan after the incident. So, that bad habit of his, always hiding his true intentions from the beginning, perhaps was because he didn't have any clear intentions in the first place.

Everyone wouldn't fantasize about digging the final answer out of Han Jia Gongzi's mouth, so they could only guess in secret. But one thing was absolutely certain, no matter what, Han Jia Gongzi liked to play with people, so everyone wouldn't lose out by hating him more.

At this moment, everyone was hoping he would come up with a brilliant tactic to deal with the harassment and sneak attacks from the Duanshui Arrow (Arrow of Severed Water) ranged shooters, but he only said one sentence: "Make full use of the terrain!"

Everyone was puzzled for a moment, and after despising him fiercely, Han Jia Gongzi said lightly, "Enter the respawn point."

That was making full use of the terrain! If you gave anyone more time, wouldn't they think of such a simple solution?

Such a plan didn't make people feel amazed, but rather disappointed, followed by annoyance: so simple, why didn't I think of it? This bastard is going to despise me again.

Enter the respawn point. When Duanshui Arrow and his people launched a ranged attack, just enter the respawn point. This method was super simple, and also super effective.

Although it seemed somewhat passive, the three hostages were still in their hands, and the initiative was still ultimately in their hands. Entering the respawn point might just be a temporary measure. After this guy saw the specific attacks of the other party, perhaps he would immediately come up with a real countermeasure?

Everyone thought so, so they didn't have any more questions. They even discussed whether to enter the respawn point now, and give Duanshui Arrow and his people a bucket of cold water, so that they would rush over aggressively and then be dumbfounded.

After thinking about it, everyone still didn't do this. After all, Ye Xiaowu and his two buddies were still squatting in the respawn point. They would notify their brothers over there as soon as they noticed any of their actions. Everyone felt that it was better to save the surprise for when it should be given to the other party.

So everyone sat there like old monks in meditation, quietly waiting outside the respawn point. Ye Xiaowu and his two buddies saw how arrogant and flamboyant these guys were just now, and thought they would arrogantly announce their plan, but they didn't expect them to not say a word in the end. After a group of people gathered at the door for a while, they scattered left and right. Ye Xiaowu guessed that they hadn't left, so he stuck his head out to take a look.

Sure enough, they hadn't left. A group of people were scattered to the left and right outside the gate. When Ye Xiaowu stuck his head out, countless people looked over, especially Gu Xian's raised eyelids, which made Ye Xiaowu's heart skip a beat. He was so scared that he quickly retracted his head, and quickly reminded himself in his heart: "Don't be afraid, it's a safe zone!"

Nowadays, whether a player is in a safe zone is not determined by whether their feet are rooted on the ground. It depends on whether the whole body is inside or outside the line. How to measure half was the system's business. Ye Xiaowu had just stuck his head out, and his body had also come out a bit. He couldn't figure out whether he had already left the safe zone, but he was scared into a cold sweat anyway.

"They didn't leave, they're all outside!" Ye Xiaowu said to the two buddies who had also become hostages.

The two were relatively calm. This was a rather novel experience for them. They had seen many hostages, but they had never been one before. Frankly speaking, in a real military battle, this was generally not called a hostage, but a prisoner of war. It was wishful thinking to try to exchange a few prisoners for the victory of the entire war.

The group of guys outside were also getting bored after waiting, so they looked for things to pass the time. Huo Ranyi took out a deck of cards and organized the brothers to play again. This time there were many people, so it wasn't possible to play Landlord. They were playing the more popular "Texas Hold'em." Huo Ranyi had only lost a few beans on QQ Games, and now he was pretending to be an expert and teaching everyone! After playing a few rounds, someone asked in confusion, "Is a three-of-a-kind plus a pair bigger than a straight?"

"What three-of-a-kind plus a pair? That's called a full house! Of course it's bigger than a straight, and it's also bigger than a flush," the expert Huo Ranyi said.

"What's going on? Then your flush just beat my full house," Jiaoshui said with objection after hearing Huo Ranyi's explanation.

"Did it?" Huo Ranyi asked back.

Everyone glared.

"Explain the rules to me clearly!" Heishui grabbed his collar.

"Wait, wait, let me think carefully." Huo Ranyi was in pain, regretting that he couldn't use Baidu in the game. Which one was bigger? He was really confused for a moment. Frankly speaking, he felt that whichever hand he was holding seemed bigger...

On the other side, Baishi Jinglun learned that this new fighter was Gu Fei's cousin, and also a member of the Gu family, so he was in great awe and wanted to ask for some pointers. But Gu Xian might have walked too much today. At this time, he moved a stone and sat comfortably at the entrance of the respawn point, refusing to move. Gu Fei also despised him: "What are you asking him for? He doesn't know kung fu."

These words caused a commotion among Jian Gui, Heishui, and Ye Xiaowu and his two buddies. They had seen Gu Xian's skills, so how could this be considered not knowing kung fu? How terrible would kung fu have to be? Of course, they didn't know that what Gu Fei said about not knowing kung fu was a fact, but Gu Xian using kung fu wantonly in the game was another fact.

A group of people were busy with their own fun. Only a wall away, Ye Xiaowu and his two buddies could completely hear the sounds of their joy outside, which made them feel very tormented.

"Do you have playing cards?" Lao Lei Da Lei asked Ye Xiaowu.

"No..." Ye Xiaowu knew that the system definitely didn't have this thing, it must have been made by the players themselves.

Lao Lei Da Lei was itching. Playing cards was also a common entertainment activity for them back then.

Just like that, while one side was nervously preparing for work, the other side was recklessly organizing entertainment. An hour passed quickly, and Han Jia Gongzi, who hadn't been messing around with everyone, was the first to spot the enemy's tracks with a telescope.

"They're here!" Han Jia Gongzi said in a deep voice.

Everyone who was squatting, lying, or sitting on the ground, except for Gu Xian, all stood up and looked in the direction that Han Jia Gongzi was looking. Huo Ranyi quickly took back the cards from everyone's hands, and Heishui looked pained: "My full house..." A full house was already a relatively big hand that appeared frequently. Heishui had finally gotten one, and was preparing to make a big bet and show off, but the enemy appeared at this time.

"Oh, I saw wrong." After mobilizing everyone's emotions, Han Jia Gongzi suddenly turned his head and said this.

Everyone was stunned. Before they could complain, they saw Heishui pounce on Huo Ranyi like a tiger: "Give me back my full house!"

"Alright, alright, it's almost time, stop playing." Jian Nan You spoke at this time.

Everyone put away their playful hearts. Baishi Jinglun seemed more anxious: "Why aren't they here yet? I have to log off in a while!"

"What time do you log off?" Gu Fei asked.

"Eleven o'clock!"

"That's not early!"

"I've been playing a lot recently, so this is early," Baishi Jinglun said.

"Anyway, this is next to the respawn point. If we're still fighting at eleven o'clock, you can just jump in and log off!" Gu Fei said.

"Hmm, good idea."

Everyone looked sideways. This was a very irresponsible idea. Someone suddenly disappearing halfway through a balanced battle was the same as dying. What's more, it was a master like Baishi Jinglun. These two guys really had no regard for the organization! Of course, everyone was just saying this in their hearts. They were the boss, so who would dare to directly raise their opinions to the boss?

When the hour hand steadily pointed to ten o'clock, the figures that everyone was looking forward to finally appeared at the end of the street.

"They're here!" Everyone's spirits were lifted.

"Oh no! We didn't hide this time, are we being too careless?" Someone suddenly realized. Before, when fighting the enemy, everyone disguised themselves as various players and mixed in with the crowd. Now, they were all standing outside the respawn point in a blatant and flamboyant manner. Experienced players would know at a glance that they were a group of body-guarding.

The so-called "body-guarding" was a cruel term for blocking the respawn point. The current record holder for being body-guarded was Yin Yue... Anyone who had dealt with Gu Fei, whether good or bad, had to admit that they were all characters!

"They only came after dawdling for so long. If they only came up with a tactic of rushing straight ahead, I'll be too disappointed," Han Jia Gongzi said calmly.

Everyone felt that this made sense. Looking at the opponent again, they appeared from the left street. Outside the main entrance of the Priest Academy was a square, with three streets leading directly to it: left, middle, and right. At this time, the figures rushing over appeared on the left street. Han Jia Gongzi casually glanced at them with a telescope and handed it to You Ge: "Check the number of people."

You Ge took it with depression. He was really just a blue-collar worker, doing all the hard, dirty, and tiring work.

"Seven people, five archers and two mages," You Ge announced the answer.

"Are they really planning to use ranged attacks to harass us?" Everyone began to imagine the scene of those people jumping with anger after they safely entered the respawn point in a while.

"Pay attention to the other two blocks." Han Jia Gongzi didn't show that "I knew it" smug expression, but instead ordered You Ge, who was holding the telescope.

"I'm watching, there's no one on the right or middle street."

"Don't be anxious, let's see what they do first." Han Jia Gongzi saw that someone was already eager to enter the respawn area, and reminded them.

"They'll fire as soon as we take a few more steps!" Someone said.

As expected, after the opponent's seven people got closer, the range of the arrows was within reach, and the arrows immediately flew over. Anyway, there was a priest sitting in town, and everyone also knew the opponent's damage level, so they didn't dodge so carefully. Some guys were hit by arrows as if there was no one else around, and didn't care. Han Jia Gongzi asked while healing, "How's the damage?"

"Just like that!"

"Is it archer damage?"

"Of course."

You Ge suddenly realized: "Are you afraid that the others are disguised as archers to attract our attention, and then the archers will be the main force and suddenly attack us from other directions?"

"I'm just suspecting that this is a possibility."

"It's all archer damage," everyone said.

"I know." Han Jia Gongzi nodded. Asking at the beginning was just to know the information as soon as possible. When his healing spell landed on the target, the system had information feedback on how much health was healed, so he also knew roughly how much damage the opponent was dealing.

"The two mages changed direction!" Suddenly everyone saw that the opponent's archers kept firing, but the two mages suddenly slipped into an alley on the left street.

"Where is that?" Han Jia Gongzi quickly asked.

Everyone was blind... Not fighting at home, unfamiliar!

"You don't know either?" The Gongzi elite group asked back, they habitually believed that Han Jia Gongzi should know everything.

"I'm sure there's no tavern over there," Han Jia Gongzi said.

"Map!" You Ge was prepared and immediately took out a map of Bai Shi City.

Braving the opponent's arrow attacks, everyone calmly buried their heads and looked at the map. The five Duanshui Arrow didn't dare to get too close, and just fired arrows from a distance. Seeing the other party ignoring them so much, sticking their butts at them, they were also very bitter. There was no way, they couldn't kill them with one arrow. If the five of them fired at the same target, it might be possible, but the problem was that if they fired together, they might not be able to hit the target.

They were now implementing a crossfire with five people, directly blocking the target's movement, causing the target to have nowhere to avoid, so they could ensure that they hit one or two arrows. Once they concentrated all their firepower on one point, then the other party would have to dodge all their shots with a slight movement. It wasn't difficult to dodge this. The snipers' skill was in calculating the lead when shooting moving targets. Ordinary players definitely couldn't compare to them in this. However, ordinary players were all like gods of archery when shooting at stationary targets after having the system correction.

So, in this aspect, their shooting level couldn't be considered anything. Being able to dodge ordinary players' attacks, they would naturally be able to dodge their attacks. If stationary shooting wanted to prevent opponents from dodging, it required higher arrow speed. In terms of this, it was determined by level, skill proficiency, and equipment. In this aspect, the five of them were originally not as good as ordinary players. Now, they had all dropped a level in unity, and even the correction of a 40th-level Advanced Archer was gone, and the shooting speed was even slower. Although Sniper God was no longer complaining about the game's settings, he was still cursing in his heart.

And now, the opponent had completely understood their shortcomings. Once they used the crazy, coquettish dodging like they did when facing archers, it would instead make these veterans feel like they were in their element. Now that everyone was standing still and waiting for the arrows to come before dodging, although the risk was greater, it made the veterans' archery level equal to ordinary players, and their advantages couldn't be brought into play at all.

In the end, they could only do what they were doing now, creating a crossfire to ensure that they weren't too embarrassed, so the situation of people directly sticking their butts at them and ignoring them appeared. They had also tried to take advantage of such opportunities to shoot together. As a result, they found that the other party was too cunning. They looked like they were facing their butts and not looking at them, but their eyes were peeking through the gap between their legs. Duanshui Arrow and his people wanted to play some tricks, but they were all seen through, and as soon as they shot together, the other party would calmly dodge after the arrows came out, which was really annoying.

Han Jia Gongzi and the others studied the map and found the alley that the two mages had slipped into. This alley went around in a circle, but could come out again from an alley closer to the main entrance of the Priest Academy.

"Uh, are they planning to suddenly appear from here and give us a surprise attack?" You Ge said, pointing to the exit.

"Just these two mages, doing this doesn't make much sense..." Jian Nan You said.

"Why don't I go scout it out!" Yu Tian Shen Ming requested to fight. Although there were two opponents, he wasn't afraid since they were mages and Yu Tian Shen Ming had a movement advantage. Anyway, he just wouldn't get close to them.

Han Jia Gongzi looked at it and shook his head: "No, there are forks in this street."

Everyone laughed, and Yu Tian Shen Ming's face turned red: "I won't get it wrong on such a simple street!"

"I'll go!" Jiaoshui said. He was also someone with mobility and ranged harassment ability.

"Okay." Han Jia Gongzi nodded.

"Wait, could it be that they deliberately lured us in like this, and there's actually an ambush inside?" You Ge said.

Han Jia Gongzi nodded: "So we're sending one person in."

Jiaoshui was in tears, so the person who went was a pawn!

Gu Fei didn't like Han Jia Gongzi's style very much and jumped out to say: "I'll go, I'll just solve them directly if it's convenient."

Everyone thought this was good, but Han Jia Gongzi shook his head again: "If you go, then it's very likely that we'll fall for a feint."

Everyone was embarrassed. It was supposed to be a team, but sending one person away could be described as a "feint", really treating other combat members as nothing, but there was nothing they could do. Gu Fei was indeed worth several of them.

"Jiaoshui, you should go! Be smart, your task is to figure out what the two guys are planning by slipping into this street." Jian Nan You spoke. He felt that their brothers also had to show their value. If they didn't dare to do this because they were afraid of death, they wouldn't dare to hold their heads up in the future.

"Okay, I'll go!" Jiaoshui said.

"Brave warrior!" Han Jia Gongzi said moved.

Jiaoshui was in tears again, so he wasn't really expecting him to come back alive!

"Forget it, I'll go!" Gu Fei insisted.

"Feint." Everyone reminded.

"If there's danger, just go into the safe zone!" Gu Fei pointed back, "I'm just leaving for a little while, you don't have to be so afraid, right?"

Everyone was in tears.

What else could they say? Gu Fei was sometimes no less annoying than Han Jia Gongzi.

"Don't come back if you die there!" Everyone said with a black face.

"I'm going." Gu Fei touched his sword and rushed out.
