Chapter 140: I Predicted Your Prediction
Chapter 140: I Predicted Your Prediction
Inside Team 042's lounge.
When Lu Wu and his teammates saw their next opponent, their morale took a slight hit.
"Another seed team? This tournament is rigged!"
After five matches, with one surprise underdog and four consecutive seed teams, Lu Wu felt like he might throw up.
"Can't we get some minor characters to practice against first? Look at Team 004; right after they fought us, they get to face a weak team. And what about us? This is so unfair!"
At this moment, Lu Wu felt the world was against him.
However, Lu Wu's unhappiness contrasted with the audience's excitement.
The previous match between Teams 042 and 004 was indeed thrilling, but it was over too quickly, similar to that someone's update, leaving the audience wanting more.
Now, with Team 004's match just concluded and Team 007 up next, the audience was pleased.
Even before Lu Wu's team started their match, the live stream audience surged, and on the other side of the arena where Lu Wu's team was about to fight, several competitors had already arrived, and there were quite a few of them.
Aside from the Hengheng Monster team and Team 044, two notable teams from Group A had also shown up: Team 002, the only team from an outer province, and Team 001, Fucheng's only ace team.
These were the two teams that Lu Wu had conceded two points to on the first day.
However, these two teams weren't here specifically for Lu Wu; they were more focused on Team 044.
Or rather, their presence was due to Team 044's attention, which had drawn them in.
Initially, when Team 044 showed up during Team 042's match against Team 004, people assumed they were there to observe Team 004. But now, with their appearance at Team 042's match, it was clear that Team 044 was here for Team 042.
Moreover, Lu Wu's revelation about his super genius breeder identity added to the intrigue.
With just one match's rest time, these teams could verify the truth behind Lu Wu's claimed identity.
This heightened interest in Lu Wu's Team 042, and those who couldn't attend in person followed the match online.
The attention surpassed the viewership of Lu Wu's previous match against Team 002, reaching a staggering 2 million viewers.
Upon seeing this information, Lu Wu's unhappiness and frustration vanished.
Indeed, he was now delighted and content.
He had joined the High School League for advertising purposes, and such a golden opportunity was not to be missed.
So, after seeing this information, Lu Wu immediately borrowed the Little Skeleton's phone, tinkered with it for a while, and then returned it.
With some quick preparations, Lu Wu's fifth match began under the watchful eyes of the audience.
The two teams' entrance left the audience bewildered, not because Team 042 was up to something unusual, but because of Team 047's unconventional approach with their summon beasts.
To be precise, it was the way Team 047's three summon beasts were brought onto the stage that was unusual.
Team 047 covered their summon beasts with large tarps and led them to the arena, keeping them hidden.
"Captain Su, what's going on here?" Lu Wu asked as he approached and shook Su Lan's hand, gesturing towards their summon beasts.
"I'm just trying to add a bit of mystery, so the audience has more surprises and unknowns during the match!" Su Lan replied, holding Lu Wu's hand and casually making up an excuse.
Lu Wu was exasperated, wondering why they couldn't just be honest. The audience already knew their summon beasts, so why hide them? Lu Wu's sharp mind quickly understood their logic: they must have guessed that he could see through the strengths and weaknesses of summon beasts and were trying to prevent him from targeting their weaknesses.
Although this method seemed foolish, it was surprisingly effective. With the tarps and cloth, Lu Wu couldn't discern the attributes of the three summon beasts.
"This isn't good. You need to remove the cloth and let the sunlight in," Lu Wu said, attempting to lift the cloth.
But Su Lan stopped him, "No, no, Captain Lu, let's keep the mystery going. Mr. Referee, we're done with the pre-match talk, right?"
Su Lan was determined not to let Lu Wu see their summon beasts, and Lu Wu had no choice but to agree, shaking Su Lan's hand again to signal the end of their conversation.
"The pre-match talk is over. Team 042 versus Team 007, please choose your summon beasts for the fight!" the referee announced.
Su Lan breathed a sigh of relief and, after shaking Lu Wu's hand once more, led his summon beast back to their area.
At this moment, all the competitors watching this scene had the same thought: they would now be extra cautious around Lu Wu, just like guarding against a thief, and would not let Lu Wu see their summon beasts easily.
"Am I that scary?" Lu Wu felt quite innocent.
He could only return to his team's preparation area, rubbing his nose.
Meanwhile, Su Lan, back in his team's preparation area, smirked, feeling triumphant.
"Now, everyone thinks I'm covering my summon beast because I'm afraid of Lu Wu, but little do they know my true intention is to set a trap for him."
"The nearby team members were particularly curious, "Captain, what's your strategy here?"
"I'm setting up a bewildering formation. I've covered all our Summon Beasts with buckets and cloth, which may seem ridiculous, but it also creates a sense of tension and uncertainty for them.
They have no idea which Summon Beast we'll use.
Given this uncertainty, if you were in their shoes, which Summon Beast would you choose to send out?"
Su Lan, with his strategic demeanor, was testing the wits of his two teammates.
His teammates pondered for a moment, then simultaneously exclaimed, "Goblin!"
"Skeleton!"
Su Lan's face darkened, and he slapped each of them, "It's that pig, you two idiots! In a situation where we don't know their strengths and weaknesses, the pig is definitely the best choice. After all, it has high defense against both physical and magical attacks, and its strong offense makes it perfect for leading the charge!"
Su Lan's reasoning was sound, but his teammates weren't convinced.
"But they used the pig at the start of their last match!"
"Exactly, and that's why I'm setting this trap. Since they used the pig before, its information is exposed, making it an easy target. Moreover, we have Summon Beasts that can counter theirs. So, their pig won't make an appearance, and I need to lure them into using it."
"Unbreakable"
Chapter 1:
Su Lan felt helpless. Why did he, a genius, have to deal with these two idiots as teammates?
Their opponent this time was Lu Wu, a breeding master. Ordinary players might think two steps ahead, but a breeding master like him would surely think three steps ahead. To beat him, Su Lan knew he had to outthink him.
He had to predict their predictions of his predictions!
"Forget it, there's no point explaining to you two. Others can think two steps ahead, but you two can barely manage one and a half. Just follow my commands!"
Su Lan's frustration with his teammates was evident, but he also exuded confidence in his own strategic prowess. With a wave of his hand, he sent one of their Summon Beasts into the arena.
"Go! Take down that pig!"
As the Summon Beasts stepped into the arena, the black cloth covering them was torn away, revealing Su Lan's chosen fighter.
Lu Wu took a few steps forward and glanced at the attributes of the Summon Beast before him.
...
Name: Iron Feathered Falcon (Once Evolved)
Strength: 1-Star (Elite)
Quality: Black Iron
Attributes: Golden, Wind
Status: Annoyed (I don't want to be covered! Su Lan, you idiot!!)
Weakness: Fire
Skills: Dive (Mastered), Tear (Mastered), Wing Attack (Mastered), Wind Blade (Mastered)
Advanced Skills: Iron Feather Storm (Acquired)
Talent: Agile Flight
Description: A flying bird with a temper.
...
"So, it's this bird!"
Lu Wu smirked at the attributes, while Su Lan, feeling triumphant, said, "Didn't expect that, did you? I predicted they'd expect... Wait, what's going on over there?"
At that moment, the Summon Beast from the other side of the arena was revealed, and Su Lan could finally see Lu Wu's choice—not Tuan Tuan, but a Little Skeleton.
This left Su Lan utterly bewildered.
"Why is the Little Skeleton out? It shouldn't be! A Little Skeleton that made it to the Provincial Tournament must be exceptional, a true ace, and they wouldn't deploy it so easily!"
At that moment, Su Lan felt a chill. "Could they have predicted my prediction of their prediction?"
His teammates rolled their eyes. "You're the one being silly here!"
They were exasperated with their captain. Why go through all this trouble just to crash and burn?
"Well done, Lu Wu. As expected, breeding masters are cunning. He even out-thought me by one layer, but I, Su Lan, am no pushover.
My Iron Feathered Falcon counters more than just pigs; it can also counter skeletons.
Everything is still under my control."
Su Lan tried to assert his dominance, but his teammate interrupted, "If you can counter them, why go through all this trouble?"
"Don't worry about the details. Just watch how I win this match!
Iron Feathered Falcon, use Wind Blade. Attack!"
Su Lan might be eccentric, but he was undeniably skilled, and his strategic mind was exceptionally sharp. With a single command, the Falcon took flight, and Lu Wu expected it to maintain distance for a ranged attack.
However, the Falcon changed direction after rising just under two meters, transforming into a swift arrow aimed directly at the Little Skeleton.
The Little Skeleton, about to play music on its phone, was caught off guard and hastily cast Bone Fang and Bone Shield for defense.
But the Bone Fang was instantly swept away, leaving only a fragile Bone Shield to protect the skeleton.
Su Lan smirked, "Didn't expect that, did you? I out-thought them by another layer. I'm so clever; my Falcon charged instead of using Wind Blade.
They couldn't stop my Falcon from closing the distance."
In Su Lan's eyes, the match was as good as won. With the mage cornered, there was no way to stop his Falcon from getting close.
"I truly am the most brilliant one here!"
