The Genius Tournament, Third Place Match: Dragon Kingdom vs. Ruidian Kingdom.
The competition rules are as follows:
1: Each side sends 7 players to enter the same instance, and the country with the most points wins.
2: Killing a BOSS grants 60 points, elite monsters grant 7 points, and normal monsters grant 1 point.
3: You cannot kill either of the participating players, otherwise you will be declared the loser.
4. The dungeon has 4 entrances. The number and quality of monsters entering through each entrance will be different. Please allocate your personnel accordingly.
After reading the rules, Fang Xian found that the rules were very simple: the more kills you made, the more points you got.
The only uncertainty is point 4.
There are 4 entrances, and the number and quality of monsters vary, which will result in the following situation:
1. Monsters are scarce, which wastes a lot of time searching for them.
2: Too many monsters and not enough manpower may lead to a wipeout.
3: Encountering hostile countries and engaging in conflict with them.
4: Seven people acting together may reduce monster-killing efficiency.
Fang Xian glanced at Ning Feng, who was still discussing tactics, and spoke calmly.
"Team Leader Ning, I've already figured out the tactical arrangements."
"oh?"
Ning Feng looked at Fang Xian in surprise. It was rare to see Fang Xian, who was usually not very proactive, offering his opinion.
"Fang Xian, what do you say?"
Fang Xian got up and began to assign tactics.
"My tactic is simple: we split into two teams and enter two different entrances. This will increase our chances of success."
"Yes, that's what we plan to do too. How are your personnel allocation plans?"
"I'll be one team, and the rest of us will be another team."
Now that everyone has witnessed Fang Xian's strength, no one thinks his behavior is arrogant.
One person can be as good as an entire team; that's certainly possible.
Ning Feng pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement.
"I think this method is acceptable."
"I...I object..."
As soon as the dissenting voices were raised, everyone looked on with curiosity.
The person who spoke out against it was Zheng En'ai.
Fang Xian looked at Zheng En'ai with some surprise. No one else objected, so why would his "contract partner" object?
What's going on?
Zheng En'ai looked at Fang Xian with concern and mustered up her courage to speak.
"It's too dangerous to let Fang Xian lead a team all by himself. What if he encounters a lot of monsters, or what if he encounters multiple enemies? Then Fang Xian will be isolated and helpless."
Once these words were spoken, everyone understood.
It turns out that Zheng En'ai objected because she was afraid Fang Xian would be in danger.
Fang Xian smiled slightly and decided to reward Zheng En'ai properly that evening.
"Auntie Enai, you can rest assured about my abilities; there will absolutely be no problems."
"But..."
Zheng En'ai was still worried and wanted to say something more, but Fang Xian interrupted her.
"Don't worry, Auntie, you can trust me."
Seeing that Fang Xian was determined to do so, Zheng En'ai had no choice but to give up.
"Then... you need to be careful."
"Don't worry, Auntie."
Upon seeing this, Ning Rong'er immediately stood up.
"Then I'll team up with Fang Xian to ensure his safety."
Cao Xiong Ying and the others looked at Ning Rong'er with slight surprise.
As the team leader, it's normal for Zheng En'ai to care about the contestants. But for Ning Rong'er, this young lady, to care about others is truly an eye-opener for them.
However, they were truly envious of being cared for by two beauties, Zheng En'ai and Ning Rong'er.
If they knew that when Fang Xian said "one against two in the Three Kingdoms," the "two" referred to Zheng En'ai and Ning Rong'er, they would probably kneel down and beg Fang Xian to teach them.
Fang Xian gently patted Ning Rong'er's shoulder, revealing a tender smile.
"Rong'er, others need you more. I can manage on my own."
Ning Rong'er slightly raised her chin, pouted her pink lips, and crossed her arms over her chest.
"Hmph! I don't care."
Fang Xian glared at Ning Rong'er and spoke in a deep voice.
"Rong'er, be good."
Ning Rong'er sensed Fang Xian's tone and knew that he would get angry if things continued like this.
"Okay... fine, I'll trust you this once..."
They watched as Ning Rong'er, who always did things her own way, actually gave in after being glared at by Fang Xian.
Is this what they mean by one thing pressing down on another, making it hard to breathe?
As expected of Fang Xian, he truly is the patriarch.
Ning Feng felt increasingly happy as he looked at the relationship between Ning Rong'er and Fang Xian.
"Okay, I think this plan is feasible, let's arrange it this way."
With everything ready, they stepped onto the competition stage.
The competition stage featured a massive magic circle emanating powerful spiritual energy.
This formation allows players to select a specific area and then teleport them into a special instance, which is the instance for this competition.
However, the dungeon is blocked from signal transmission, making live streaming impossible. Only by having the participants wear special items can real-time kill information be displayed outside.
Killing humans will also be recorded and result in elimination.
Fang Xian put on the special prop and randomly selected an area.
After both sides had chosen their areas, the magic circle emitted a bright light, and everyone disappeared in a flash.
In the blink of an eye, Fang Xian appeared in a dense forest. The trees here were thick and towering, making humans appear particularly small.
A sudden burst of light appeared, and three people teleported out from beside Fang Xian.
It was three people from the Kingdom of Ruidian, two men and one woman, including the most beautiful girl in the Kingdom of Ruidian—Nami.
The three of them were startled when they saw Fang Xian and looked at him warily.
Fang Xian glanced at Nami, smiled slightly, and turned to leave.
The three were slightly surprised to see Fang Xian leave.
One of the level 43 warriors frowned and spoke.
"Why did he leave as soon as he saw us? Shouldn't he have eliminated all three of us immediately?"
Another level 43 assassin looked at Fang Xian suspiciously and voiced his guess.
"Could it be that he can't beat the three of us?"
The soldier nodded.
"It's very likely that Zhong Shenxiu was behind his victory over the leaders of the Korean team last time."
Nami frowned and hurriedly tried to dissuade him.
"Don't forget, Fang Xian is a genuine member of the Japanese national team who wears five-piece sets. Don't attack him."
The two men exchanged a glance, both understanding each other's meaning.
"Nami, is it possible that Fang Xian is only fighting one-on-one, and that we are three against one, and he might not be able to win?"
Another man chimed in:
"Yes, otherwise how do you explain him leaving as soon as he saw us? It's obvious he was deliberately avoiding us."
Nami wanted to ask if it was because others looked down on them, but she felt that would be too demoralizing.
"I think we should not take action against them; the risk is too great."
The soldier frowned, his eyes sharp.
"If we don't act now, we'll miss our chance once he reunites with his teammates."
"Yes, this is a rare opportunity, we have to seize it quickly."
The knight had already drawn his lance, ready to strike.
Nami felt it was best not to provoke Fang Xian. They would have a better chance of winning if they killed monsters based on their own abilities, since it was all about points.
She was about to say something when she suddenly saw Fang Xian stop and turn around to look at them.
Fang Xian's lips curled up slightly as he spoke softly.
"Although I can't understand your bird language, your eyes make me very uncomfortable."
So, you guys—get out.
