509: Hey, you're a genius at brewing!

"There's such a thing? What do you mean you were lucky this round and searched the entire Core Area? Are you saying no one looted the entire Core Area this whole round?"

Hearing Xiao Yun's words, Luo Xiu, the captain of the Tianshen Team, immediately wore an expression of disbelief.

"Mm, well, that's the situation."

In contrast, Xiao Yun looked completely calm, as if such an occurrence was nothing unusual.

"That's impossible! This Restricted Zone is a Level Four Restricted Zone. The Operators inside, while I won't say how strong they are, are all professional GTI teams. How did you two, just carrying a big red, run into the Core Area?"

Receiving Xiao Yun's confirmation, Luo Xiu's expression became even more astonished.

As the highest level of Intermediate Restriction—a Level Four Restricted Zone—the people here are considered the elite of the elite.

The people who enter each match might not be incredibly strong, but they wouldn't be so bad as to not know how to play Confidential Aerospace; at the very least, they know the optimal route from every Spawn Point.

"What does that mean? No one searched the entire Core Area? Did everyone fight in the Prison Area?"

"Maybe. It might be one of those once-in-a-hundred-match rounds where they spawned near the Launch Area at the start, allowing them to freely loot the Core Area."

"Sigh, why don't we ever run into such easy rounds! It feels like you'd be lucky to find one in two or three hundred rounds, right?"

The other two members of the Tianshen Team also started discussing this.

Based on their own knowledge, the two men came up with a reasonable explanation for Xiao Yun's unexpected luck in this match.

Listening to their discussion, Xiao Yun merely smiled faintly and didn't say much.

After all, if they knew he had started at the Central Control Building and immediately used the Zipline to cross the Bridge, and that two teams were eyeing the Sandy Area at the time, they would probably be too shocked to move.

"Alright, how should we plan for the next round?"

"For the next round... actually, Brother Xiao Yun, I have a brilliant plan, but the cost of entry might be a bit high."

"Tell me."

Hearing Luo Xiu's words, Xiao Yun couldn't help but become curious.

Since he was the leader of the number one ranked team in Dragon Country and claimed to have a good method, it should be a strategy that genuinely benefits both their teams.

It shouldn't be like those teammates in games from his previous life who constantly came up with terrible ideas that resulted in losing everything.

"Look, we have two teams here, right? Normally, if we cooperate directly during a match, other teams will quickly find out. In two or three rounds, this Restricted Zone location will become a place where everyone teams up, forming a 6v6v6 situation... wait, with us involved, it should be 5v6v6."

"And then?"

"Well, I was thinking, since you guys aren't bringing gear, just carrying a big red to search for loot, we might lose combat strength if a fight breaks out. So, why don't we..."

Saying this, Luo Xiu smiled faintly, then pulled out a fully customized SR-25 from his bag.

Rating: My Fu Mu Si La! My Fu Mu Si La!]

...Seeing the weapon Luo Xiu pulled out, even someone as strong as Xiao Yun couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Good heavens, he's planning to Block the Bridge!

"...Playing with this thing, did you bring a Family Photo in your bag?"

"What are you talking about?"

"Nothing, nothing. Continue with your plan."

Xiao Yun wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. In this world, there were no unwritten Village Rules forbidding Blocking the Bridge. As long as you could bring supplies out of the Restricted Zone, it meant you had skill.

However, perhaps the Operators in this world had high moral standards. Logically, blocking Extraction Points and Blocking the Bridge were the most profitable ways to play the Restricted Zone, yet despite playing so many matches, Xiao Yun had rarely encountered anyone doing it.

He guessed it was because the Restricted Zone in this world was too realistic; every Operator entered using their own body and face, so they didn't have the nerve to perform such immoral acts as ambushing.

Otherwise, if they angered some important figure while Blocking the Bridge in the Restricted Zone, they might find people blocking their actual front door the next day.

In short, these various conditions led to the gameplay of Blocking the Bridge and camping Extraction Points not being popular in this world.

If they camped and killed a desperate person who had bet their family assets hoping to make a fortune in the Restricted Zone, that person would genuinely come after their life after the match ended!

"Don't worry, we're not planning to block the Extraction Point or anything like that."

Luo Xiu seemed to have noticed Xiao Yun's concern, so he quickly explained.

"Although all three of us brought Semi-Auto Sniper Rifles, we can achieve similar or even the same effect without blocking the Extraction Point!"

"Oh? All three of you did it?"

"Ahem, that's not the point. Just listen to me."

Seeing that Xiao Yun's focus was completely off-topic, Luo Xiu felt a bit awkward.

After all, with three Semi-Auto Sniper Rifles pulled out, who would believe they weren't going to block the Extraction Point?

It's just that their team didn't have an Operator with the Ural class. Although all three of them had dual classes—one Dragon plus Red Wolf for breaching, one male/female Medic Dual-Smoke for protection, and one Shield Dog Old Black controlling the Inner Area—there really wasn't any room left for Ural to perform.

As for gathering information, for professional Operators like them, a Headset was all that was needed.

"What I mean is, once we enter the Restricted Zone, we'll pretend we don't know anything, and then look at the Spawn Point. No matter where we spawn—if it's Dormitory, Central Control, or Prison Boss Yuan Tong—we'll immediately use smoke, run over, and Set Up Positions on the Bridge. If it's Jail Three, Jail Two, or Launch Area, we'll Use a Card to rush into the Black Room and Blue Room, kill everyone who comes, and then Set Up Rifles in the Blue Room... Uh, maybe that sounds a bit complicated."

"It's fine, I understand what you're saying. What then?"

"In short, no matter the location, we'll be responsible for eliminating the nearest team, and then finding a spot to hold down everyone from the other Spawn Points. Then, you guys can just Use a Card to enter the Core Area and loot freely! Whatever you get is yours; we'll just take the money for our gear."

Hearing Luo Xiu's words, Xiao Yun immediately raised an eyebrow.

If it really went according to what this guy said... wouldn't they become his Free Escort?

Looting the entire Core Area would belong entirely to him, without having to share anything with them... Was there really such a good thing in the world?

"Captain Luo, I really think you're a genius!"
