"I'm a little bit better than him." Lu Yao said modestly, truly modestly.

Lu Yao has her own pride in her professional field, and says this not to let Xiao Feng think she is arrogantly overconfident.

Xiao Feng nodded to show he understood, but inside felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction. No matter how mysterious you Xue Nuofu are, your people still can't compare to my Yaoyao, right?

"Brother Yanhong, you seem to know who my opponent is?" Lu Yao asked uncertainly.

"Yes." Xiao Feng admitted, "Didn't I tell you before? I went to that villa, and there's someone named Qian Shaoyuan there, which is probably him. Have you heard of this person?"

"No." Lu Yao shook her head, "Actually in our circle, real names are rarely used, even in competitions we use codenames."

Xiao Feng asked curiously, "What codename did you use when you competed back then?"

"Me, uh..." Lu Yao was a little shy, as if it was hard to speak.

This only made Xiao Feng more curious. Did this genius girl give herself a very cheesy or embarrassingly over-the-top codename back then?

"Tell me, tell me, I promise I won't tell anyone." Xiao Feng urged, looking like a complete gossip.

"I, my codename back then was... 'Lost Little Deer.'" Lu Yao bit her pink lips lightly, as if she was ready for Xiao Feng's ridicule.

However, unexpectedly, Xiao Feng had no intention of laughing. Instead, he furrowed his brow slightly and said, "Lost Little Deer, because the fog was too thick, you couldn't find your home?"

Lu Yao smiled bitterly. At that time, she was indeed alone, couldn't she find her home?

A moment later, Lu Yao clenched her pink fist and, gathering courage, said, "I couldn't find it then, but now I've found it. Brother Yanhong, wherever you go, that's my home."

"Uh... You saying that makes me feel quite pressured suddenly." Xiao Feng felt perspiration on his forehead, not expecting the usually quiet Lu Yao to say something like that.

Seeing the girl looking somewhat lost, Xiao Feng was a bit sympathetic, so he added, "But I don't mind taking on this pressure. Pressure leads to motivation, right?"

"Really?" Lu Yao's eyes brightened.

Xiao Feng nodded vigorously, and then saw the girl in front of him smile, dazzling like a blooming flower, eye-catching and radiant.

Just wonder how Qian Shaoyuan would feel if he found out that the "Little Deer" he's been searching for just forced him to pull the power cord.

...

The competition continued, and at this moment, the three teams coincidentally slowed their pace. According to the map, they might soon meet in battle, everyone was tense and alert to the movements around.

It was surprising that the pace of the Qiutai Team wasn't much slower than the Jiangcheng Team and Guangyang Team, at least not visibly so.

This shows that the Qiutai Team could reach the final round to compete for the championship not only due to luck but also having some inherent strength.

"Rest here for ten minutes, in ten minutes we'll split into two groups. I'll lead one group to block and guard against surprise attacks from the other two teams, the other group will be led by Old Niu to go directly and capture the flag." Wei Shuai said seriously.

The team members nodded to show they understood, then began to rest where they were, drinking water, eating food, checking equipment, preparing for the upcoming battle.

The Qiutai Team and Guangyang Team were likely doing the same. The closer to the critical moment, the less one can lose their heads. If they rushed out now, failing to adjust from long-distance exhaustion, they might risk being wiped out.

So, all three teams exercised restraint. Even if they wanted to be the first to charge out, they had to adjust to the best state before doing so.

The Qiutai Team was led by a man who appeared to be around thirty years old, with a thick beard, named Zong Renxiao.

At this moment, Zong Renxiao looked solemn and spoke, "We have a gap between us and the Jiangcheng Team and Guangyang Team, everyone should know this, but such a gap doesn't mean it can't be bridged.

There'll certainly be a tough battle coming up, Monkey, you're the fastest runner, we'll all support you. Use all your strength, try to break through the fire blockade and get the flag!"

A man who appeared weak but had limbs longer than ordinary people nodded: "Yes!"

In a sense, this strategy seemed very reckless. After all, putting all hope on one person was too risky and might lead to failure.

Although the Jiangcheng Team had a similar strategy before, Jiangcheng Team's success didn't guarantee Qiutai Team could do the same.

But thinking from another angle, if really suppressed by the other two teams, the hope of winning the championship would almost be nonexistent, so taking a risky gamble was no big deal, since the lowest would still be in the top three.

So, the team with the best mindset, and able to take risks the most, turned out to be the Qiutai Team. Winning would of course be great, but losing was also acceptable.

Spectators watched the big screen intently, experiencing a God's-eye view, it really was quite fresh. Knowing what would happen next, they could discuss and analyze the final result, the sense of immersion was unprecedented.

This was mainly because there were so many competing teams before, and often before analyzing for two sentences, the screen switched. But not now, there were only three teams, making it easy to keep attention focused.

"I think Qiutai Team might really become the dark horse of this competition, everyone supporting one person, if they still can't protect him, they might as well go home to take care of their kids."

"No way, I think Jiangcheng Team and Guangyang Team might reach some agreement, perhaps teaming up to destroy the Qiutai Team first, then focus on deciding the first and second place."

"Jiangcheng Team and Guangyang Team teaming up? You're really naive, what if one side doesn't put in effort, and midway seizes the flag, wouldn't it be like giving the result to others?"

Spectators discussed heatedly, commentators explained energetically, everyone waited for the three teams to start moving, that would mark the true start of the competition's key moment.

In the audience, Song Keren sat alone in the corner, feeling somewhat conflicted. On one hand, she wanted to see the Jiangcheng Team win because Xiao Feng led the team.

But on the other hand, she didn't want to see the Jiangcheng Team win the championship because their captain was Miao Yueqian.

Song Keren clearly remembered that provocative look from the other side, she wasn't a saint, didn't have such a broad mind, holding grudges was certain.
