Forty minutes after the match started, inside the desert.
"Brother Jue, I've been meaning to ask this since ten minutes ago …" Xiao Tan sat in the passenger seat of Feng Bujue's motorcycle. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked, "Where are we going? Why aren't we heading in the direction that King Kakalu's team came from? "
"I have no idea where we are, but according to the calculation of Divine Foresight, if we head in this direction, we should be able to run into the thing that has the greatest chance of killing us," Feng Bujue answered.
"Oh … So, you were calculating … Hmm?" Xiao Tan was halfway through the sentence when he realized that something was wrong. "Hey! Why are we purposely heading in the most dangerous direction? " He raised his voice. "If you want to calculate … why don't you calculate 'where are the members of the enemy team'? Instead, you calculate 'which direction will lead us to the strongest enemy'?"
Before Brother Jue could answer, Xiao Ling, who rode on the motorcycle behind them, interjected, "You idiot. Of course, it's because we can get more information with the current algorithm."
"That's right." Feng Bujue answered and turned to explain to Xiao Tan, "If I calculate 'where are the members of the enemy team', then the only information I can get is the location of the members of the enemy team. But … if I calculate 'which direction will lead us to the strongest enemy', then I can know many other things … "He paused and continued," Yesterday, I watched some of the videos of the second division of Zombie Blade and got a general understanding of their members' mastery and fighting style, but … that's about it. In the preliminaries, they did not run into any strong teams, and most of their matches were one-sided victories. To put it simply … based on the videos of the preliminaries, it is impossible to see the 'limit' of this team. "
"Erm … So …" Xiao Tan continued, "Does this have anything to do with what you were calculating earlier?"
"I'm about to get to that point, don't worry." Feng Bujue continued. "Let's talk about this scenario … There is a reason why I fought with Kaka Lu for so long. The reason I purposely held back the fight was to test Kaka Lu's combat ability. Through the observation of this' leader of the minions', I had a rough idea of how powerful the final boss of this scenario would be. "
When Brother Jue said this, Xiao Tan was even more confused. He almost blurted out, "Can't you see through the data? Is it necessary to confirm it through battle? "
Luckily … Xiao Tan didn't say this out loud because he realized something in time …
The next second, the way Wang Tanzhi looked at Feng Bujue changed, and the latter immediately responded with a subtle expression that was hard to detect.
If the tacit understanding between Brother Jue and Ruo Yu was telepathic, then the tacit understanding between Brother Jue and Xiao Tan was like a telepathic connection.
They only needed a moment of communication, and they seemed to be able to communicate many things.
Now, Xiao Tan understood it instantly. Brother Jue was acting, and he needed his cooperation.
"The conclusion is … similar to an NPC at the level of a judge or a judge." Half a second later, Feng Bujue continued. From other people's perspective, there was no pause or change in his speech. "Then … we will return to the question you asked earlier. Why do we need to calculate the 'thing that has the highest chance of killing us'? Because by doing so … we can estimate the 'upper limit' of Zombie Blade's second unit based on the enemy that appears before us. "
"Hmm …" Xiao Tan answered and then said with some thought, "What if … we run into a scenario boss and get beaten up or even wiped out?"
"Ha!" Feng Bujue laughed. "How is that possible?" He tilted his head. "If we run into an NPC, we can try to negotiate with them. It would be best if we can borrow their power, but if that doesn't work … we can just run as fast as we can. How big of a loss can we suffer?"
Right then, Xiao Ling added, "But if we run into the four members of Zombie Blade's second unit, then it will prove that … at least according to the system's measurement, they are more powerful than the strongest NPC on this planet."
"Oh, now that you've explained it to me …" Xiao Tan pretended to say. "If we run into an NPC, we'll have the chance to borrow their power. Even if we fail, we won't lose anything. But if we run into an enemy team … from the perspective of the result, it will be the same as calculating the location of the enemy team members. " He scratched his chin and shook his head. "But no matter what the situation is … we can use the condition of 'having the highest chance of killing us' to estimate the upper limit of Zombie Blade's second unit's power."
"Very good, you are a promising student." Feng Bujue reached out to ruffle Xiao Tan's hair.
"Go away … stop it." Xiao Tan pushed his Brother Jue's hand away and redid his hair.
"But … to be honest …" At that moment, Feng Bujue suddenly changed the topic. "Personally, I hope that we run into the second unit of Zombie Blade and not some NPC …"
"Oh? Why is that? "Xiao Tan asked.
"Humph …" Feng Bujue scoffed coldly. "I did not have much hope for the members of Zombie Blade …" He licked his lips. "Now … if the system decides that they are not as powerful as a judge or a judge … then that would be too boring."
Yes … he had said it.
In front of countless audiences, he used a loud voice and an arrogant expression … to say this sentence without any scruples.
No matter how Zombie Blade was viewed in the industry, in the eyes of those who did not have a deep understanding of the professional gaming circle, Zombie Blade was still a very famous gaming studio.
However, Feng Bujue, a casual player, had used such a tone to say something like that. It was as if Zombie Blade was not on the same level as other gaming studios, and he did not take them seriously at all.
This kind of behavior … no doubt shocked the majority of the audience.
"Hey, hey … this guy sure has the guts to say something like that …"
"I have never seen such an arrogant person before …"
"I just cut over to take a look. The other team took less than half a minute to clear out the small fries, and he has the audacity to say that after fighting for so long …"
"But he said that he was testing the NPC's power. Could he be purposely going easy on them?"
"I think that is possible. Don't forget, he was fighting alone from the beginning. His three teammates did not help him, and Zombie Blade fought with four people at the same time."
"Yes, even though he took a longer time, he looked like he was doing it with ease throughout the battle."
"Come on … I think he is just showing off. If he really ran into a professional player from Zombie Blade, there is an eighty to ninety percent chance that he would be one-shot."
Instantly, the viewers on various platforms started a heated discussion about this controversial statement made by Brother Jue. There were many different viewpoints, and there was no one who was right or wrong.
And all of this … was within Feng Bujue's calculations.
Without realizing it, the focus of the discussion had shifted to Brother Jue's statement that did not have any real meaning, and the conversation between him, Xiao Tan, Xiao Ling, and the others … seemed to be accepted as the truth just like that.
…
At the same time, on the second team of Zombie Blade …
The four members of Zombie Blade rode on the motorcycle that they had stolen and raced toward the direction where the NPCs had appeared. About twenty minutes later, they saw a fortress that was built in the middle of the desert.
The fortress was oval-shaped and took up a large area. It was like a small desert city.
The outer wall of the fortress was made from a mixture of stone, sand, and metal. Since the day it was completed, it had not stopped being repaired. From afar, it was obvious that the colors of the walls were different, and the different areas and materials had different degrees of wear and tear.
This phenomenon … was mainly caused by the "acid rain" that came every season. Of course, there were many other reasons, such as cutting corners and external destruction.
"Captain, the bunnies on the watchtower seem to have discovered us." When they were still quite a distance away from the fortress, the vice-captain, Shui Shi Qiang, opened his mouth to inform Shui Shi Qiang.
As a player who specialized in shooting, Shui Shi Qiang's eyesight was naturally not bad. At that moment, he saw a bunny being on the watchtower on the side of the fortress pointing at them and sending signals to other bunnies.
"It doesn't matter. We will be discovered sooner or later," Shui Shi Qiang replied.
He had a point. There were several watchtowers on the outer wall of the fortress, and each tower had a bunny being on the lookout. In the desert without any cover, if they wanted to sneak up on the fortress, they would have to wait until nightfall … or they would have to crawl under the sand …
Right now, these two options were obviously not very realistic because the former required an unknown amount of time (they didn't know how long the daytime of the Bunny Planet would last), and the latter would take a lot of time and waste a lot of energy (even if they didn't bury themselves in the sand, they would have already lost a lot of energy due to the heat). So … it was better to just drive over.
"I think …" Shui Shi Qiang continued. "When we arrive at the fortress, there is an 80% chance that another battle will be waiting for us."
"Not necessarily …" At this time, Reborn as King, who was in charge of planning, spoke up. "According to the general rules of the doomsday scenario, there are roughly two types of population gathering places like this. One is the 'sanctuary' type. This type of stronghold usually has a 'government-like' structure, and there is a team of local armed forces responsible for maintaining law and order and resisting foreign enemies." He paused for a moment. "The second is the 'mountain stronghold' type. This is easier to understand … It is usually ruled by one or a few people with the most tyrannical force. The people in the city are either thugs or slaves." Although he was analyzing the problem, his tone was still like Zombie Blade's. He sounded rather dull. "If it's a sanctuary, their defense forces might block us at the door and negotiate with us. But if it's a mountain stronghold, then there's no need to talk about it. The group of Qiuqiuqi that we just killed is most likely their men. They must have recognized the motorcycle we are riding and are preparing to attack us."
"No matter how you look at it, the second possibility is more likely." Transmigrated as King, who was beside Reborn as King, turned his head and responded. "Qiuqiu and the others appeared from this direction and made it clear that they were here to capture slaves."
"You are right, but … we can't rule out the possibility of a 'sanctuary'." Reborn as King replied, "You have to know … some of the 'sanctuary' type gathering places may be doing the same as the mountain stronghold, or even dirtier things. It is just that their political system is more advanced." He explained, "You have to understand … a social system made up of 'a small number of ruling groups,' 'a large number of exploited ordinary people,' and 'a small number of the lowest class slaves' is far more stable than a system that only has' overlords, '' thugs, 'and' slaves. '"
"Humph …" At this time, Samyu Strong Assault snorted and said, "I hope we can run into a mountain stronghold." He said in a low voice, "As long as the fist is big enough, even an idiot can rule the land … But a stable 'sanctuary' can only be built by people with real brains and real power."
Reborn as King agreed with that, and he added, "Captain is right. If Qiuqiu is a member of a mountain stronghold or even the leader, then we can sigh in relief. But … if Qiuqiu Qi is just a straggler who leads his subordinates to capture slaves in exchange for rewards, then it's not good … because compared to the big fish that rules this city, he's just an insignificant character. "
The four talked as they analyzed the situation, and before they knew it, they had arrived at the outer wall of the fortress.
When they got closer, they realized that the wall was more than fifteen meters tall.
For a building like this that was built in an abandoned area, it was easy to be 'underestimated' due to the lack of scenery around it. When one was in front of the fortress in person, one would realize that the actual size of the building was much bigger than it appeared from afar.
"Stop right there! Don't move! "
When the few from Zombie Blade reached the bottom of the wall, five rabbit heads poked out from the wall. One of them was responsible for yelling, and the others were holding weapons that looked like crossbows, aiming at the four people at the bottom of the wall.
"We mean no harm, please don't attack us." On Zombie Blade's side, the person responsible for the negotiation was Reborn as King. "We are just looking for someone …"
"Shut up! Earthlings! " The rabbit on the wall interrupted Reborn as King and asked sternly, "Tell us … where did you get the motorcycle?"
After a brief hesitation, Reborn as King replied truthfully, "We … were attacked by a person from the Rabbit Planet who claimed to be 'King Qiuqiu Qi' …" As he spoke, he did not forget to look back at his teammates, telling them to prepare for battle, just in case. "… In self-defense, we defeated him and his men, and then rode away on their motorcycles …"
