Liu Hao and Su Mucheng's Tacit Cooperation?

With blades flashing and explosions everywhere on the battlefield, under Liu Hao's poke-style command, Excellent Era's group gradually scattered and defeated the Tyranny group with the support of Zhang Xinjie's recovery ability.

Han Wenqing's brow furrowed more profoundly. Faced with such a situation, he couldn't think of any breakthrough. Clearly, the distance between him and Total Darkness was close at hand, but under Total Darkness's bizarre wave attacks, it felt like an insurmountable gulf separated them.

"Desert Dest and Mountain Split initiated their fourth combined charge! Ah, unfortunately, Total Darkness's ground wave fluctuations overturned Shanbeng Dilei, and Dancing Rain's rocket propulsion once again pushed them back... Tyranny is feeling quite frustrated..." Pan Lin commented.

Li Yibo couldn't bear to watch anymore. Even he felt frustrated. If it were a straightforward match and they lost, that would be acceptable. But running away while fighting is just disgusting...

Defensive battles kite kite-pulling... are among the most disliked tactics by professional players... Li Yibo leaned towards Tyranny, naturally hoping they could win in the end, but now, it seems hopeless for Tyranny to turn the tables...

Tyranny's fans were infuriated by Excellent Era's poke style, but Excellent Era's fans were ecstatic and praised Excellent Era's excellent performance.

I especially liked the cooperation between Total Darkness and Dancing Rain, where the Wave Sword and heavy artillery complemented each other, like a splendid duet performed at the Sydney Opera House.

"Have you noticed the cooperation between Total Darkness and Dancing Rain? My cultural knowledge is limited, but I can only think of one word, and that's damn perfect! They are clearly two people, but it's like they're playing with the same brain in the match!"

"Yeah, how did I not notice before? Liu Hao and Su Mucheng coordinate so well? With both of them casting long-range skills, they kite-pulled Tyranny so they couldn't charge!"

"Now, who's commanding for Excellent Era? The command is so smooth? Much better than the first half of the game!"

"Ye Qiu is dead and can't speak, so it must be Tony commanding now. Haven't you noticed Tony is the main attacker?"

"Liu Hao has this kind of commanding level? It's shocking!"

"Indeed, it's surprising that Liu Hao is playing so beautifully now. In the past, he was just mediocre, making me look down on him. Now, I'm straight-up becoming Liu Hao's fanboy!"

"Liu Hao is awesome!"

"Liu Hao is amazing!"

...

In fact, the audience's remark that Liu Hao and Su Mucheng seem to be using one brain to play the game was surprisingly accurate. The coordination between Liu Hao and Su Mucheng is flawless. Indeed, they play with one brain, or, more accurately, Liu Hao controls Su Mucheng's brain.

It's no secret that Su Mucheng dislikes Liu Hao. Liu Hao also knows that they have no understanding or cooperation between them. However, poke-style tactics heavily rely on teamwork. Fortunately, Su Mucheng temporarily follows Liu Hao's command. So Liu Hao temporarily "loaned" the "Evil King's True Eye" to Su Mucheng.

During the poke-style process, Liu Hao always marks points on the map in advance, commanding Dancing Rain on how to shoot and which skills to use. In the case of Liu Hao multitasking, this ensures that the cooperation between Total Darkness and Dancing Rain is flawless. Otherwise, lacking mutual understanding, Liu Hao would worry that Muyu Orange Wind's heavy artillery would aim at his forehead.

...

Seeing the game was lost, Han Wenqing suddenly glanced at Zhang Xinjie beside him. In the past, when Tyranny was at a disadvantage, Zhang Xinjie always had a solution.

Han Wenqing and Zhang Xinjie looked at each other, his clear eyes full of anxiety and expectation... Han Wenqing suddenly understood that Zhang Xinjie meant he had a way to deal with poke-style, but... dead men tell no tales.

Now Zhang Xinjie was like a person trapped in a fire, wanting to shout for help but having his hands and feet tied and his mouth gagged. He could only watch as his side's HP gradually decreased, like a piece of bread gnawed by mice.

...

Total Darkness's Evil Light Slash harvested Desert Dust and fell heavily to the ground.

Ye Qiu saw this and finally relaxed a bit. With Desert Dust down, Excellent Era was sure to win. Liu Hao led the Excellent Era to victory. His sacrifice was not in vain. At this moment, the resentment from being tricked to death by Liu Hao disappeared.

"Our concepts are different, but fortunately, our goals are the same: to win the game..." Ye Qiu murmured, unsure if it was relief or self-consolation.

...

Ten minutes later

Tyranny was utterly wiped out, the game ended, and Excellent Era defeated Tyranny 8:2, winning the first battle. Brilliant fireworks lit up the sky, the two commentators on stage delivered impassioned speeches, and the audience cheered passionately.

On the electronic screen, after listing a series of arena data statistics, a handsome photo suddenly appeared...

"Damn, Liu Hao's official photo is too handsome, isn't it? This looks, this figure, it surpasses Zhou Zekai, right?"

"Husband looks so handsome!"

"Bro, you're a guy; why are you calling him husband?"

"I really didn't expect that in the eighth season, Excellent Era's first MVP is not Ye Qiu, but Liu Hao!"

"Tony, well done!"

"Total Darkness, the highest output of the game, a five-kill unmatched in the world, single-handedly turning the tide, a comeback from the brink of defeat, the MVP is well deserved. It's just a pity that Dancing Rain stole the last kill; otherwise, Total Darkness would have secured the first team six-kill of the season!"

...

At the same time, the post-match settlement popped up on Liu Hao's computer screen, the glory badge for the five kills shining brightly. Unfortunately, there wasn't a glory badge for six kills to please him. Thinking of this, he glanced resentfully at Su Mucheng beside him.

Su Mucheng's profile was quite beautiful, pouting in dissatisfaction, like a child whose cherished cake had been stolen by a rascal, looking thoroughly annoyed.

"This girl... so cute, it's almost against the rules..." Liu Hao sighed softly.

Sure enough, after winning the game, even Su Mucheng, whom he didn't get along with, looked much more pleasing to him. Liu Hao smiled and teased, "Why did you have to steal the last kill? If you hadn't, I would have had a six-kill. Or is it that you have a taste for targeting me?"

"So what? You can steal the MVP; why can't I steal a kill?" Su Mucheng retorted unceremoniously. "Besides, who says you didn't steal my five kills?"

Liu Hao shook his head helplessly. Arguing with a girl is such a waste of words. Although Su Mucheng deliberately stole his last kill, fortunately, he still got the MVP of the team match. He wasn't petty enough to argue with Su Mucheng over one kill, but it was a pity... missing out on a chance for a system reward.

The sound of the system settling rang in Liu Hao's mind.

(Bro, WTF ARE THESE REWARDS)

(Those who understand will understand.)
