90: Chapter 90 Multitasking is a really good skill

The lunch at the Meng Family lasted until after three in the afternoon, ending only when Old Meng was drunk enough to be sent to bed.

Meng Yawen helped her mother clear the dishes and do some basic cleaning before leaving with Zhao Xiaoshuai.

"Are you going straight home, or should we go somewhere to walk off the alcohol?"

"To your place."

Meng Yawen looked at her boyfriend, who was reeking of alcohol, but didn't refuse and started the car, heading toward her new home.

Zhao Xiaoshuai was only tipsy; he was far from being drunk.

Having honed his skills while grinding in the workplace, and with the enhancements from Brother Gan, he couldn't be taken down by a couple of ordinary drunks taking turns against him.

But that didn't stop him from "playing the drunk."

He operated his phone with one hand to check the game group's status, while the other hand quietly reached out.

Meng Yawen glanced at her boyfriend's drunken face and, unable to do anything else, tried her best to focus on driving.

Following Zhao Xiaoshuai's instructions, Yi Jian Heng Jiang would log on every ten minutes or so to slaughter them, then log off to let them adjust their positions before attacking back.

After a whole morning of this back-and-forth, the entire server was buzzing with excitement.

He sent a text to his lackey, telling him to log on later, while he logged on himself to max out all the damage-increasing codexes.

This way, even if his main damage dealer, Gan Ning, was targeted, the full-screen fire from his secondary damage dealer, Zhou Yu, would be enough to wipe out the opposition.

After testing it a few times and finding no issues, he handed the account back to his lackey and moved on to the second phase of his plan.

Although he had been operating his phone the whole time, the benefits of the Multitasking skill were fully on display now.

His little girlfriend had naturally taken off her coat inside the car, and she was wearing a tight-fitting turtleneck sweater. From Zhao Xiaoshuai's perspective, the "peaks and ranges" effect was very obvious.

She was wearing a fuzzy miniskirt on her lower half, and her legs were covered in those "bare-leg artifact" thermal stockings.

This kind of outfit was definitely "beautiful but freezing" in the minus twenty-degree weather of the Northeast, but given Meng Yawen's "little furnace" constitution, it wasn't a problem for her to dress like this.

Besides, she now had her own luxury car and mansion, and since she mostly traveled between underground garages, she was rarely exposed to the outside air for more than two minutes.

At this moment, Zhao Xiaoshuai focused his attention on his fingertips, delving in little by little to leave his mark between the two mountain ranges.

Meng Yawen glanced at the traffic light, which still had dozens of seconds left; intersections like this were sure to have traffic cameras.

She didn't dare move, afraid of being caught on camera, so she could only roll her eyes at her boyfriend and silently endure it.

The Brotherhood group chat was indeed reacting again.

After having their fun for a while, Xing Tianjie and Lin Yongbo naturally didn't keep watching the Taowu and Qiongqi accounts, having long since handed them over to proxies in the guild to log in.

The two proxies dutifully logged back on, but this time, no matter what they did, they couldn't win.

"Damn it, this bastard is still hiding something! He still had remaining codexes he hadn't opened; he's been toying with us!"

"We can't beat him. The codex gap is too big. One fire from his Zhou Yu and we're all dead. How are we supposed to fight this?"

"@Taowu @Qiongqi, Bosses, it's bad! We can't beat that prick anymore."

Both of the rich, handsome guys had their own real-life activities and didn't see the group chat immediately.

Zhao Xiaoshuai had his evil hand slapped away by his embarrassed little girlfriend, but he waited for another red light to sneak it back in. After doing this three times, Lin Yongbo finally appeared in the group chat.

"I just logged on to check; there's no way to win this. @Heavenly Emperor, Brother, are you done yet? We can't beat him."

Xing Tianjie had actually seen it earlier than Lin Yongbo, but he hadn't spoken up.

He had already secretly logged on to check; that insidious dog must have maxed out his attack codexes. His generals would die with just a single touch; how was he supposed to fight?

To be honest, he had anticipated this situation, but there was nothing he could do. The event was already over; not to mention his spending limit, even if he could still deposit money, it would be useless.

But he couldn't afford to lose face by being beaten into silence, so he could only pretend he hadn't seen it.

At this moment, Zhao Xiaoshuai finally spoke up using his alt account: "It's fine, I'm here."

He logged into his own account and maxed out the defense codexes.

He had spent about 160,000 on codexes, and his luck was average—he maxed out half of the codexes, with two or three left over.

There were three main archetypes in the early to mid-game of this title.

The Shu Kingdom's Xuanwu Stun Build.

Utilizing the damage reduction effect of the divine beast Xuanwu, the lineup used Ma Chao for front-row damage reduction and Huang Yueying for back-row damage reduction. Combined with the horizontal and vertical stuns from Zhuge Liang and Wei Yan, the rage aura bonus from Pang Tong, and the massive healing from Liu Bei, the strategy was all about stalling.

Then, they let their main damage dealer, Changshan Zhao Zilong, continuously stack damage. Once his "seven-in, seven-out" buff was maxed, he would naturally break through the opponent's defensive line.

The Wei Kingdom's Rage Nuke Build.

Utilizing the rage-gain and damage-increase effects of the divine beast Azure Dragon, the lineup used multiple rage-regenerating generals, with Zhang He's invincibility shield serving as the tank. Combined with Cao Cao's massive rage-regeneration effect, they finally let the main dealer, Sima Yi, use a special item that consumed all rage at once to increase damage, unleashing an AOE nuke.

The Wu Kingdom's Burn-Crit Build.

This was Zhao Xiaoshuai's build: using the divine beast Fire Phoenix and Zhou Yu to ignite the entire enemy team, adding a buff that made attacks guaranteed to crit, allowing for massive burst damage.

Finally, there was the Neutral Faction's Rage-Reduction Build, which was what Zhao Xiaoshuai had prepared for his alt account.

Utilizing the divine beast White Tiger to reduce rage for the entire enemy team, the tank Dong Zhuo to reduce the opponent's rage when hit, Jia Xu and Yu Ji to apply poison that greatly reduced the opponent's rage, and Lu Bu's "Unrivaled" skill to once again reduce the rage of the entire enemy team.

Without rage, the generals couldn't use their skills and could only perform basic attacks one by one, rendering the enemy generals combat-ineffective, just like they were standing in a time-out.

He maxed out the defense codexes just to stall for time, so that through Hua Tuo's resurrection skill, he could withstand Gan Ning's first round of burst damage, after which it would be time-out time.

And completely abandoning damage increases wouldn't mean he couldn't damage the opponent.

Because Zhao Xiaoshuai had left a vulnerability himself: he hadn't opened the defense codexes.

Thus, a grand drama of turning the tide, directed and performed by him, began.

"Holy crap, @Heavenly Emperor, Boss, you're awesome! This lineup strategy is invincible. I went and watched the replay; after withstanding one round, the opponents were all in time-out. Awesome!"

"How did you withstand it? Did you max out the damage reduction codexes, Boss?"

Heavenly Emperor (Zhao Xiaoshuai): "Maxed them out. Basic operation, no need to be impressed."

"Damn, Boss, this gear basically cleared out the Spring Festival store, right? And you also maxed out the defense codexes—how much did this cost?"

Heavenly Emperor: "About 200,000. Mere pocket change."

Amidst cries of "holy crap," Zhao Xiaoshuai turned off his phone and let the bullets fly for a while longer.

At this point, his fingertips were no longer satisfied with carving characters on the cliffs, but reached further forward.

The white panamera screeched to a halt on the side of the road.

Zhao Xiaoshuai, while Multitasking, naturally wouldn't just act recklessly. He had chosen a small road very close to Meng Yawen's home; there were no pedestrians on the side of the road, and no other vehicles on the road.

His little girlfriend, her face flushed red, pulled his evil hand out.

"Don't go too far! I'm driving!"

"Then we'll continue when we get home."
