Chapter 671

…………

"Big shot! Last match, you got this!"

"Yeah, big shot! Pull out your most toxic general and just steamroll them!"

"Most toxic general? Isn't that a bit overkill? Big shot can just casually pull an Epic general out of the general pool and beat the rest of them crying, for crying out loud!"

"Don't underestimate the heroes of the realm — after all, they've all made it to the finals."

"True, but big shot's definitely the best! Big shot, I'm waiting for you to take back that 1.2 million gold beans!"

…………

Gu Xuan looked at the barrage of rather heartwarming messages,

and replied to each one with a smile,

five minutes flashing by in an instant, and the game space's prompt tone sounded in Gu Xuan's ear once more,

【Matchmaking successful!】

【The game mode you are about to enter is: Eight-Player Battle for the Realm!】

…………

Watching Gu Xuan enter the Eight-Player Battle for the Realm arena,

Li Bingbing's eyes flickered with a complicated look for a moment,

happy was she definitely,

but…

her own captain had also entered the finals! If these two ran into each other,

and they weren't on the same side, wouldn't that be our own people beating up our own people?

"Big shot Gu has finally made it to the finals!"

Zhou Xiaoyi, who couldn't care less about all that, let out a cheer,

then noticed the worried look on Li Bingbing's face,

and instantly figured out what Li Bingbing was thinking,

"Bingbing sis, you don't need to worry!"

"It's only 1.2 million gold beans — sure, it's a lot, but the captain isn't exactly short on gold beans."

"Losing is losing, so what…"

Li Bingbing's forehead went dark with exasperation,

this girl had thrown herself wholeheartedly at Gu Xuan,

"It's not about the gold beans!"

"Did you forget there's a special reward too?"

"The captain went in gunning for that!"

Only then did Zhou Xiaoyi suddenly realize,

"Oh right!"

"But that thing… the captain getting it, or Big shot Gu getting it… doesn't really seem to make a difference, does it!"

They're all on our side anyway…

…………

A flash of white light,

Gu Xuan sat in his chair,

he'd originally planned to take a look at his identity and position,

but then,

he heard the game space's prompt tone ring in his ear:

【Player identity: Seat 1, Lord!】

【Please prioritize selecting your general!】

"I'm the Lord?"

Gu Xuan's brow furrowed slightly,

in identity mode,

the Lord and the Spy were the two seats

he was least willing to take,

the former required telling loyalists from rebels, and it was easy to get screwed over by loyalist teammates,

the latter, the Spy, was easy to get screwed over by the Lord.

But,

the game space had already locked in his identity now,

and there was nothing he could do about it.

"Lord it is, then."

It was the finals after all — the loyalist teammates he'd been matched with

probably wouldn't be complete idiots either.

Five general-selection frames slowly rose before Gu Xuan,

【Border Yuan Shao, Divine Gan Ning, Divine Jiang Wei, Border Xu Sheng, Strategist Sun Shangxiang】,

these generals?

Divine Jiang Wei and Divine Gan Ning are playable,

The version of Xu Sheng isn't really fit to be the lord in an eight-player game,

Sun Shangxiang (the strategist version) is even worse — if she misjudges at the start, you could say half the battle is already lost.

Big Mouth is just here to make up the numbers.

"Switch out the version Yuan Shao and strategist Xiangxiang."

If I can't swap in anything better,

then I'll just take Divine Jiang Wei.

Gu Xuan's mind stirred,

The first general card, version Yuan Shao, flipped over and was replaced by another orange general card!

"Divine Zhang Fei?!"

Looking at this newly revealed general card,

Gu Xuan couldn't help but cry out in surprise for a moment,

somewhat astonished,

he hadn't expected that with a casual tap,

he'd invited this King of Hell himself over!

The general Divine Zhang Fei, even within the Ten-Year Anniversary set,

is among the very top tier of generals to enter the immortal realm,

with extreme strength in modes like duel, Doudizhu, and 2v2,

although, to be fair, he's slightly weaker in eight-player games,

but that's only relative to the extremely hellish environment of the Ten-Year Anniversary set,

in a general environment like this game space,

in an eight-player game, any identity, it's a tiger loose among sheep,

slaughtering them left and right!

"Looks like that 1.2 million golden beans are already mine!"

Gu Xuan's face broke into a smile,

reaching out his hand,

confirming the general selection,

【Please confirm your faction, player!】

The game space's prompt sounded once again,

Gu Xuan casually picked Wei,

Divine Zhang Fei doesn't have a faction skill anyway,
