Chapter 183: Strong Team
Arsenal, Task Point No. 1.
A group of four walked out of the supply point, and the soldiers looked at them with gazes full of admiration.
It was the first team to arrive at the task point. Indeed, it was the elite team of Jiangbin High School No.3 that lived up to its reputation!
A tall and buff young man with a buzz cut hairstyle and holding onto a round shield asked, “What now? Do we embark on the journey to Task Point No. 2 now?”
The only girl in the team frowned.
She was about 1.75 meters tall and she was fiddling with a purple medal in her hand. She shook her head slightly and flicked her ponytail. “Race? Only 300 points are rewarded for the first place and we must seize some weapons and medals in order to get into the top eight. What do you think?”
The girl then looked at the commander beside her, Zhang Mingming.
A relatively thin and short boy, of about less than 1.7 meters tall, nodded and said, “Yeah, it won’t be a guaranteed win for us if we race and strive to be the fastest. Five days is sufficient for any team to obtain a large number of objects that would bring them additional points. 300 points are obviously not enough. ”
The youth holding onto the round shield frantically nodded and said, “Mingming is right. We should obtain more mission objects and score more points. Getting into the top eight is our final goal.”
Zhang Mingming ignored the young man holding onto the round shield and instead, turned around to look at another tall and handsome young man.
It could be seen from the degree of his participation in the formulation of the team’s strategy just now that he was clearly out of synchronization with the team’s pace.
He was Gao Junwei, who had entered the team later.
Gao Junwei glanced rather satisfied at his teammates.
After all, he was already in Year Three when he was admitted to Jiangbin No.3 High School. It would be rather difficult for him to find a good team in Year Three.
All the teams would usually be formed in the second semester of Year One and they would go on to spend plenty of time with each other. Under normal circumstances, no one would be willing to break their team up or replace any members.
Fortunately, Gao Junwei was a competent member who could add value to the team. Hence, the school was pleased to have him join them.
After making considerations from the perspective of competing to win glory and obtain stellar results, Jiangbin High School No. 3 reconstructed a team for Gao Junwei with just one request—for him to achieve good results.
In other words, the four members of the team were all tasked with strict orders.
Zhang Mingming, the Medical Awakened, also the commander of the team, had a regular haircut. He wasn’t tall nor buff, but he was very intelligent.
He was calm, wise, and clear-headed when devising battle tactics and strategies, thus reminding Gao Junwei of his last commander, Han Jiangxue.
The difference was that Han Jiangxue was a control-series Rules Awakened while Zhang Mingming was a popular Medical Awakened.
The female Rules Awakened Yu Zhen was extremely strong and assertive, and her affluent family background had also allowed the first eight star slots of her Star Map to be filled with Gold Quality or Silver Quality Star Techniques. Without a doubt, she was affluent.
In today’s society, most people would associate the second-generation heirs of wealthy families with negative remarks.
Yu Zhen was a second-generation heir, but she was very well-mannered and highly literate.
Her academic performance and personal abilities were excellent, but she was extremely arrogant.
In fact, except for Zhang Mingming who could barely talk to her, the other two players were basically not taken seriously by her.
She was particularly disdainful towards Gao Junwei.
Since Yu Zhen joined the team, she would obviously have to check and investigate everything thoroughly. Yu Zhen knew exactly what Gao Junwei had been doing, so she despised him greatly.
With the guarantee of the school, Gao Junwei and his family, Yu Zhen and her family decided to let her join the team after weighing the pros and cons numerous times.
She had seen through her teammates and knew that there were no comradeship or close ties between them. The four of them were simply partners, and everything they did was for their own agendas.
The last member of the team was a tall young man holding onto a shield. His name was Zhang Weiliang.
He was not the best Shield Warrior in Jiangbin High School No. 3, but he was the commander Zhang Mingming’s best friend ever since they were children.
The Shield Warrior Zhang Weiliang was considered to have joined the team because of connections, and according to Zhang Mingming, he had the greatest chemistry with Zhang Weiliang out of all the teammates in the team.
Of course, although Zhang Weiliang was not the best, he was still an elite Shield Warrior of Jiangbin High School No. 3. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to join the honorable team regardless of how well-connected he was.
Zhang Weiliang was rather talented in athletics and his qualifications were also excellent. However, his working-class family had limited his growth and progress.
Fortunately, he and Zhang Mingming were close friends. Hence, Zhang Mingming had given him plenty of financial support.
Unfortunately, the young Zhang Weiliang realized how pragmatic and cruel society was. Due to the constant help that Zhang Mingming gave him, Zhang Weiliang developed an inferiority complex and became slightly cowardly.
…
Gao Junwei looked at his teammates and nodded before saying, “I agree with Commander Zhang.”
Zhang Mingming said with a smile, “I’ll give you guys an idea. We can guard outside Task Point No. 2 and get some spoils from the other teams.”
Zhang Weiliang asked hesitantly, “Is it really appropriate to do that?”
Yu Zhen frowned slightly and did not make any comment.
However, Gao Junwei’s eyes glistened. He seemed to be interested in Zhang Mingming’s idea. “Stay at the side and keep a lookout?”
Zhang Mingming said with a smile, “We’ve already remembered all the information about the participating teams.”
He touched his head and continued, “For the teams that have considerable strengths, we don’t have to take action to attack them. We just have to attack those with average strength. After all, we want to score points.”
Gao Junwei was slightly disdainful towards what Zhang Mingming said, but he didn’t show it.
With a confident smile on his face, Zhang Mingming said, “On one hand, we can wait and reap the benefits while protecting the team. On the other hand, we can also suppress the other teams and prevent them from scoring too many points. We can kill two birds with one stone.”
Gao Junwei couldn’t help but say, “It’s so boring to ambush at Task Point No. 2. We can directly ambush to the endpoint in order to seize more points and kick the useless ones out.”
Yu Zhen’s disdain was written all over her face, but her disdainful smile made Gao Junwei feel a little infuriated. However, he tried his best not to flare up because he was seemingly afraid of something.
Zhang Mingming shook his head and said, “You’re not thinking enough. Desperation will drive one into doing anything. If we stay at Task Point No. 2, we’ll be able to obtain resources from the supply point, and on the other hand, we can also give the other teams some opportunities. They know that even if they lose all their battle spoils here, they still have time and chances to make up for the losses.”
Gao Junwei seemed to try to save himself some embarrassment and sneered. “Well, they’re still incompetent, after all. Who cares how the garbage feels? Will they be able to rebel?”
Zhang Mingming said helplessly, “If we really ambush at the endpoint, we may face a lot of teams who come back right before the five-day time limit, and there will be plenty of them. We’ll then have to fight them endlessly.”
He continued, “Even if they come back in advance, it will seem like spoiling the ship for a ha’porth of tar by standing at the endpoint. Task Point No. 2 is great. It’ll not only guarantee the number of objects we get, but it’ll also guarantee the psychological state of the rest.”
Yu Zhen nodded and thought to herself, This guy has made detailed and careful considerations. Be it from an individual or a team perspective, she had no reason to oppose to Zhang Mingming’s idea.
Zhang Weiliang looked at Zhang Mingming hesitantly, for he didn’t quite support that plan. However, he didn’t have much of a say in the team.
Gao Junwei looked at Zhang Weiliang and tried his best to save his pride from all aspects. “What’s up with that expression of yours? The team has decided, so you just have to execute the plan. Don’t pull a long face. It’s going to affect our mood.”
Zhang Weiliang looked down and did not rebut or respond.
Due to the fact that Zhang Mingming had been looking out for Zhang Weiliang throughout his growth, Zhang Weiliang had gradually developed a special mindset. He had never been able to hold his head high in front of the children who came from wealthy and powerful families.
Seeing that Gao Junwei had reprimanded Zhang Weiliang, the commander Zhang Mingming was somewhat dissatisfied, but he did not show it…
The team of guardians in the monitoring room was slightly impressed by the first team that had arrived at Task Point No. 1. When they heard the team’s strategy, they had peculiar expressions on their faces.
The strategy was formulated based on the overall strength of the team. Without a certain level of competency, the team from Jiangbin High School No. 3 definitely wouldn’t be that arrogant.
Similarly, their combat strategy was also formulated based on the intelligence information that the team had collected. There would always be someone better and no one was invincible. Due to the team’s fighting style, every profession and role and the various strengths might also result in team members restraining each other.
Since Jiangbin High School No. 3’s team had the audacity to do that, they would have to carry out investigations and gather a large amount of intelligence information beforehand.
Their competency and the intelligence information that they had gathered in advance were sufficient for them to stand out from the other 100-plus high school teams.
Waiting instead of putting in the effort was indeed a good strategy.
Their strategy was not against the rules, and they had clearly brainstormed and thought through it carefully.
However, the guardians reckoned that they would have to closely monitor the actions of that team from now on. After all, a brawl may happen at any time.
At the same time, the guardians were also closely monitoring team No. 76 because they had all heard Jiang Xiao’s suggestion just now and felt that the team was on their way to court their own deaths…
