Chapter 361: Jiang Baobao Wins a Complete Victory

The contestants from both sides entered the soundproof rooms dedicated to the competition.

Jiang Baobao and the remaining staff members sat outside the soundproof rooms.

Both sides began their final adjustments.

The large screens on the left and right sides respectively displayed the serious expressions of each team member.

The screen in the very center was used to broadcast the in-game footage.

Jiang Baobao sat in her seat, pondering what kind of tactics the opposing side would use, when she suddenly felt two gazes seemingly looking at her.

She paused slightly and looked over subconsciously.

Immediately, she saw Shen Yi quickly retract his gaze.

Jiang Baobao let out a cold snort in her heart and focused on the match on the screen.

At the commentary desk, the director also very "thoughtfully" directed the camera to the faces of both Jiang Baobao and Shen Yi at the same time.

"Haha, it seems the bosses of our two teams are both very serious today. After all, these are the two teams that met in the world championships last year; today, it's equivalent to watching the Finals all over again!"

The commentator tried hard to liven up the atmosphere at the venue, wanting to smooth things over for the two of them.

In the official livestream chat, the fans from both sides had long been unable to hold back from making snide, sarcastic remarks at each other.

Ten minutes later, the match officially began.

In a 5v5 match like this, everyone usually wouldn't rush in right from the start.

Instead, Ke Hao and Ano, who used ranged weapons, carried out the attrition, while Xiao Ding, who focused on healing, assisted from the side.

If there was a head-on confrontation between the two sides, Mumu and Lao K would need to charge at the very front.

Shadow Team was different, however.

They had always charged straight at the opponent as soon as they entered the match for a head-on duel.

This time was no exception.

Only, they all focused their targets on Xiao Ding alone!

Xiao Ding was caught off guard, and three minutes into the start, his health bar had already dropped below half!

Jiang Baobao's brows were tightly locked, her eyes fixed firmly on the large screen, and her fists resting on her knees were already clenched tight.

Although she had long expected that Shadow Team would change to a new tactic, she hadn't expected them to actually adopt such a method of guarding one person to death!

Once Xiao Ding died and there was no healing, it would only be a matter of time before the other four were worn down to death!

The three little ones also subconsciously held their breath, staring at every move of the game characters on the screen.

Li Beijue, however, couldn't help but fix his gaze on Jiang Baobao, his expression somewhat worried.

If it were her, would the situation on the field be any better?

It was just a pity... gender had become the biggest obstacle preventing her from entering the field...

If they really lost the match today, then she...

A dark glint flashed in the depths of Li Beijue's eyes, but he suddenly heard a "clang" sound coming from the venue's speakers.

At the same time, the cheers in the arena almost blew the roof off in an instant!

Li Beijue hurriedly looked up, just in time to catch the replay on the screens on both sides.

He saw Xiao Ding's character covered in floating flower petals, seemingly using some kind of skill, so he could only stand in place.

At the very bottom of the screen, there was a progress bar lasting five seconds.

The Shadow Team member's giant axe was already hanging over his head, about to fall, when just at this moment—

A long sword barely intercepted in front of him, blocking the descending giant axe!

Everything happened in just a few short seconds, yet it completely reversed the situation on the field!

The flower petals falling from the sky carried a silver radiance, enveloping every Star Team member and instantly boosting everyone's attributes by a large margin in a short time!

The counterattack officially began.

The cheers inside the arena came in waves, one higher than the next.

All members of Shadow Team were hit by the buffed Star Team, losing more than half their health.

Shadow Team's healer could only choose to cast skills on two of them, but before he could even raise the staff in his hand—

"Whoosh—!"

A sea-blue glowing ring suddenly appeared beneath his feet.

It was a trap Mumu had set there early on.

"Beautiful!"

The live commentator also boiled over in an instant, not stopping as he narrated the situation of the match.

Jiang Baobao had already stood up from her seat, watching as the healer of Shadow Team turned into a beam of white light within the trap.

He was out.

Without their healer, Shadow Team was completely nothing to fear.

They had never dreamed that the tactic of targeting the healer would actually be realized upon themselves.

There was no point in continuing this match, and the remaining members directly typed "GG" in the game to signal their surrender.

The first match, Star Team victory.

The arena was immediately filled with cheers, and some people even started whistling.

Several team members stood up to rest for a moment, preparing for the second match twenty minutes later.

Jiang Baobao went straight back to the preparation room.

As soon as she pushed the door open, she heard Xiao Ding loudly complaining: "To think they dared to target yours truly! Hmph! In the end, wasn't it their healer who said bye-bye first!"

Jiang Baobao couldn't help but smile, closed the door behind her, and then tapped on the table: "Alright, I roughly know what the other side wants to do. Xiao Ding, next round you..."

Twenty minutes later, the second match began on time.

Shadow, just like in the previous round, lunged straight toward Xiao Ding as soon as it started!

A dark glint flashed in Jiang Baobao's eyes, her face full of determination.

She knew that narrow-minded guy Shen Yi wouldn't let Shadow change tactics!

Having the healer killed first on the arena floor was truly an insult to the strength of the other team members.

Shen Yi must have wanted to dampen her spirit, which was why he dared to use this tactic; besides, having lost the first round just now, he naturally wouldn't be reconciled and was determined to take down Xiao Ding!

However... their own healer was no ordinary healer...

Jiang Baobao raised an eyebrow, watching the screen calmly.

On screen, the Shadow team member repeated the old trick, and the character wielding the giant axe had once again killed their way to right in front of Xiao Ding.

But Xiao Ding did not dodge, and the next second—

"Bang!" came a sound.

Only to see his character turn around, and the staff in his hand struck solidly against the opponent's head!

The opponent's body immediately froze, and a short, two-second stun icon appeared above their head.

The venue was silent for a moment.

Then, the entire arena erupted in uncontrollable laughter.

"Incredible! Xiao Ding actually brought out the most basic healer skill in such an important match! It really caught Shadow off guard! I wonder if this was the idea of our tactical master LISA?"

The commentator's tone could not hide their amusement, and the camera also cooperated by panning toward Jiang Baobao.

Jiang Baobao did not hide it at all, giving a thumbs-up directly to the camera with a brilliant smile.

Generally speaking, healers on the competition stage rarely carry attack skills, let alone this most basic skill used for self-defense against monsters in the Novice Village.

But Jiang Baobao had specifically thought of it.

Xiao Ding also perfectly caught the opponent off guard, winning himself room to maneuver.

The subsequent match had no suspense.

Several people quickly killed the opponent's healer and ended the match.

Star achieved a complete victory.
