Closer to Revealing My True Self-Chapter 485 - 328: Let’s First... Formulate Tactics_2

Even if the gunfire below was intense, for them, it was all too familiar.

In this club, anyone who could become an area manager had once been on a real battlefield, so to them, everything happening below was nothing more than a game.

They calmly observed the situation within the arena, and could roughly understand the tactics of both sides, though they didn’t pay too much attention to those details, instead focusing on the two ’salted fish’ in the corner.

Compared to the tense atmosphere in other parts of the arena, these two in the corner were too out of the ordinary.

"What are those two doing? Atmosphere crew?"

"The atmosphere crew wouldn’t dare slack off like that. Their teams know each other, and by the sound of it, they come to play often. From what I know of them, this match is probably a warm-up to get a feel for the game, and they’re also bringing along two newbies. Both teams are doing this, but the newbies in the blue team seem more active. The ones with the orange team are probably just making up the numbers with a salted fish attitude."

"They don’t seem like pure newbies though, the ability to sense danger in advance is also a skill."

"Could we consider it a sort of animal instinct?"

"Haha, anyway, doesn’t it look a bit like that young guy? Remember, some time ago in the outdoor woodland area, there was a group divided into two teams for a battle, and there was this kid who was really good at hiding. He found a spot and ended up falling asleep during the game, and when everyone had finished and come out, they found they were short one person."

"Right, right! There was someone like that! I wonder if it’s the same kid."

The two instructors in the observation room were discussing Pan Youning, and Pan Youning was also telling Feng Yi about his "glorious" achievements.

On the battlefield below, behind a barricade.

Feng Yi instinctively felt something was off and looked up towards the platform: "Someone’s watching us."

Pan Youning also glanced in that direction and said, "It’s nothing, they are the instructors in charge of this area. You can think of them as referees. They don’t intervene in a normal fight, they’re just responsible for the start and end. Don’t mind them."

Upon hearing this, Feng Yi didn’t bother with it anymore.

Pan Youning thought Feng Yi was nervous, so he continued, "It sounds very intense in the arena, like monsters of firepower rampaging, but it’s really not that serious. We don’t need to be tense. I understand them best—they’re not really serious. Just listen to the rate of fire, they haven’t gotten into the heat of battle yet. If they actually did, a newbie would still crumble..."

Suddenly, Feng Yi pulled Pan Youning aside.

Almost the moment after he pulled Pan Youning over.

Bang bang bang!

Several blue paintballs hit the barricade!

If Pan Weining had still been in his original position, he would have been hit by now, not just once, which could have sent him directly out of the game.

Pan Youning quickly realized what was going on and moved to another position, catching his breath, and whispered to Feng Yi, "Thanks, Brother Yi!"

He looked at his arm. There was a splash of paintball on his clothes, but such minor damage was ineffective.

In the observation room on the platform.

"Such reflexes, very impressive! An old player? An old player loafing around here?"

"That should be Feng Yi. I heard he’s a new player. I saw him when they were not yet started and he took off his helmet. Recognized him. Also, players have called out his name."

"Oh, him. He’s a key member in the development of the Public Security Bureau, with quite impressive professional skills. Even if he’s new to this kind of game, having such reflexes is not surprising."

"Talents are found in the most unlikely places."

They occasionally followed some entertainment news, so they recognized Feng Yi, especially from the news about capturing snakes. Coupled with the Public Security Bureau’s intentional promotion, they had a slightly more vivid memory of him.

They glanced at the real-time battle stats on the display board at the edge of the arena; both sides had already lost almost half their forces.

"If those two keep chatting like this, it’s not going to be safe."

The sounds of battle were not as dense as at the beginning, and the strategies of both teams had also changed accordingly. The time for looking after newbies was over, and what followed was a battle between enemies with no distinction between newbies and veterans.

The two players used by the blue team to make up numbers and balance the strength had already been sent out of the game.

Feng Yi also felt it wasn’t safe anymore, but seeing Pan Youning still so calm, and thinking that the other party had more experience in playing this game than he did, he didn’t say much and continued to listen to Pan Youning’s tales of one of the highlights of his life:

The first time he played on an outdoor field, he found a hiding place not discovered by the main forces of either side! He slept till the end!

When he walked out of the woods, the main forces from both sides looked at him with respect!

"I’m physically weak, and in this venue, I can only aim to preserve myself, but my theoretical knowledge is very rich! The complex analysis involved is all my own doing!" said Pan Youning.

Feng Yi had also noticed that while this man might not excel in other skills, he had some talents that many others couldn’t match.

Feng Yi relied on his special ability when familiarizing himself with the terrain of a new place. If one day he could no longer use that ability, he would have to rely on his accumulated knowledge.

Knowledge still needed to be learned and stored in the brain; one couldn’t just rely on those skills encoded in DNA! fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

Learning new knowledge from others benefited him. Especially this kind of on-the-"battlefield" theoretical analysis combined with practice was very worthwhile to learn!

One boasted, the other listened.

At that moment, Pan Youning felt that Feng Yi was truly a kindred spirit!

Usually, when he talked about this stuff, his brother and his friends were reluctant to listen!

In such a moment, kindred spirits are hard to find. Pan Youning almost wanted to share all his experiences!
