In the final phase and the hardest part of a chess game, there were some special moves for special situations, and one couldn’t lose if they followed the steps in the chess book.

In StarCraft, there were some strategies and certain moves similar to the ones recorded in the chess book. For example, Mr. Fang used this move of photon cannons, which was a killing move against new players.

However, it didn’t mean that the old players wouldn’t be fooled. To trick the old players, one had to have a great understanding of psychology and some luck.

In fact, everyone fooled by this move would instantly doubt their own intelligence since this strategy looked so dumb.

However, except for the super masters, there were so many people, new and old players, who fell for this trap that they could form a line around Earth.

In terms of the game, players didn’t find it easier to play when it was more real.

In the original version, one could find out from the red marks on the map if there were enemies. But now they could only see the surrounding area from the mental images transferred among different individual Protoss units besides the bird-view map of the area around the base and the camera surveillance on the buildings. On one hand, there wasn’t the fog of war anymore, but on the other hand, vision didn’t become more convenient.

Mr. Fang’s probe entered his rival’s base not only to provoke but to distract the audience and the enemy’s Protoss force. Meanwhile, he built photon cannons in the blind spot.

When Gu Tingyun withdrew the force from the outside, Fang Qi had almost finished building the fourth photon cannon!

The four photon cannons were planted near Gu Tingyun’s base like a malignant tumor. If they were not destroyed, Gu Tingyun couldn’t even send his probes to extract minerals.

However, even if he sent out his force, they were lowest-level Protoss units as their attack damage and defenses weren’t upgraded. Regardless of how good Gu Tingyun’s operations were, they were no match for the defense towers!

Fang Qi killed all the zealots and lost only one photon cannon!

While his photon cannons fired at Gu Tingyun’s probes, Mr. Fang built another photon cannon right beside Gu Tingyun’s base.

“…”

The audience watching from behind all turned red with pent-up rage; they felt like dying and taking Mr. Fang along.

Gu Tingyun took off his virtual reality headset and quitted the game! GG!

If he were another person, he would have jumped up and hit Mr. Fang with a chair.

Mr. Fang put down his virtual reality headset and turned his head, and he saw a group of people glaring at him with green eyes!

They were indignant!

How can he be so cunning!

“It wasn’t a fair match! Not fair at all!” Zhou Mo yelled in disapproval, “It was a win by playing tricks; one must move steadily in a real war. How could you use such a trick at the beginning of the game?!”

“Right. If it were a real war, it would be suicidal to build nothing in your own base. If anything went wrong, you would have been defeated easily!” Xun Yun said.

The audience had noticed that Mr. Fang had no defense towers or and no soldiers. With only probes, his base could be destroyed by a handful of enemies.

How can anyone command a war like this?! If the ancient families had done things this way, they would have been destroyed long ago.

“I think you should have another match!” Mu Qing said while eating spicy sticks.

“I think so too. One more match!” Many people seconded her opinion.

Gu Tingyu said, “Shall we have another match?”

At everyone’s urging, they started another match since it was in high demand.

This time, Gu Tingyun kept an eye on Mr. Fang’s tricks. He chose the map in which he had played the first 1 vs 7 game as Protoss. His base was in a valley with one opening, and he blocked the entrance with a photon cannon, so no one could enter under the monitoring of the defense tower.

Mr. Fang’s SCVs ventured to his opponent’s gate and returned when he found that his opponent was building a photon cannon. After all, one must have the opportunity to use the Rush Strategy. If there were no opportunity, they must give it up as it would be meaningless since it wouldn’t succeed.

In this match, Mr. Fang used the standard moves and commands and exchanged several rounds of attacks with his opponent. Despite Mr. Fang’s good skills, he didn’t want to compete with a grandmaster on micromanagement.

After all, grandmasters were fast learners, and these operations were not difficult for them.

A Protoss commander could control a portion of the soldiers with the psionic link personally like controlling several doppelgangers.

Mr. Fang’s opponent wasn’t an ordinary player but a super grand cultivator with extremely high cultivation strength.

With great micromanagement, he could even control three zealots simultaneously to hack bullets with blades; these scenes were thrilling to look both in terms of visual effect and skills.

The operations were almost impeccable.

This time, the random option gave Mr. Fang the race of Terrans which was a race that Gu Tingyun had not fought with before. Despite all that, Mr. Fang kept a steady pace with his moves.

– 20 minutes later –

“I told you that the shop owner is not good at this!”

“Look at Senior Gu’s base!”

“Such a huge battleship!”

“So many strange spiritual boats…”

Then, they looked at Mr. Fang’s home base.

“There are so few spiritual ships in the shop owner’s base…”

“Academy Master Gu is on the offense.”

Gu Tingyun’s screen was filled with all kinds of battleships, which showed a strong economy.

In contrast, Mr. Fang still had a mixture of air and ground forces.

If not mentioning the mix of forces, he had even launched a sneak attack when his opponent was out on the attack. In the end, he caused little damage to his opponent but lost all his soldiers.

What was stranger? They were puzzled that Mr. Fang had even brought a dropship for transportation in his sneak attack. This ship exploded before it could drop any soldiers.

“I’m sure that the shop owner is going to lose!”

Seeing Gu Tingyun leading the huge army of battleships to attack his enemy, the audience chattered in excitement.

Escorted by all kinds of ‘flying spiritual artifacts’, the golden battleships lined up like a wave of golden clouds, blocking out the sun.

When a huge golden ‘spiritual ship’ flew up slowly, and then the light surrounding it distorted. As if they were concealed by an intangible sky curtain, all the Protoss battleships turned invisible.

The yellow sand swept across the desolate wasteland, and the golden arbiter flew across the sky like a swallow-shaped shadow when one looked up. Only on Gu Tingyun’s screen could the audience see the massive number of battleships.

The huge group of battleships attacked from one side of Fang Qi’s base. The interceptors flying out from the huge battleships swarmed up like locusts. In the blink of an eye, most of the buildings in Fang Qi’s second base were destroyed including the reinforcements!

They swept toward the heart of the base with tremendous force.
