Lufeng continuously explained more than ten basic concepts of Asking Heaven, leaving Qin Shou and Gao Chao astonished and prompting them to reevaluate themselves as they slowly absorbed this knowledge.
After listening to Lufeng's understanding of Asking Heaven, Wang Xiaojing was thoroughly impressed: "Alright, Lufeng, I didn't expect you to have done your homework so well. Not bad, not bad. From now on, I won't compete with you for the team leader position, but don't let me down."
Lufeng rolled his eyes: "These are just basic concepts. I really can't tell if you guys are playing the game or being played by it. Not understanding the basic settings and effects of a game while having fun is like trying to drive without knowing how; it can be deadly. If you get yourself killed, that's one thing, but the most important thing is not to drag others down with you."
"Boss, we won't let you down again!" Qin Shou said through gritted teeth.
Lufeng shook his head: "You're not playing for me. I got a bit carried away earlier. Just don't lose this job in three months. As Aunt Wang said, 'We are currently undertaking a glorious yet arduous task.' Can you tell me where the glory lies and where the difficulty is?"
Qin Shou nervously replied: "The glory lies in the thrill, and the difficulty lies in the quarterly assessments."
As expected, Qin Shou was indeed worried about the studio's quarterly evaluations; he was uncertain about what exactly would be assessed and concerned about his current situation.
Gao Chao smirked: "The glory lies in picking up girls, and the difficulty lies in endurance."
"Bah! You idiot!" Wang Xiaojing spat back, then continued: "The glory lies in unity, and the difficulty lies in cooperation. We're not afraid of god-level bosses; we're afraid of teammates who don't even understand the basics. Unity is strength, and good cooperation is fundamental."
Lufeng couldn't help but nod secretly and looked at Qiu Han: "Qiu Han, what do you think?"
Qiu Han thought for a moment: "I believe the glory lies in recognition, and the difficulty lies in endurance. Right now, we are Professional Players at Myth Studio. As long as the boss recognizes us, that is glory."
"Then why does difficulty lie in endurance?" Wang Xiaojing asked, puzzled.
"Because I am Tianshan!” Qiu Han replied calmly.
"Tianshan?" Wang Xiaojing still didn't understand.
Lufeng smiled lightly: "Tianshan is a profession known as the legendary Shadow Assassin. The key is to know how to endure. The skill of Tianshan's level 20 technique, 【Golden Cicada Leaves Its Shell】, allows for infinite stealth as long as no damage is taken or skills are actively released. So, the essence of Tianshan is stealth. There was once someone who managed to hide throughout a whole Duel, remaining invisible for over half an hour using this extremely sneaky method, proving that being sneaky is indeed the way to go."
"Ha ha~" Qiu Han couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Pfft~" Murong Xiaoxiao also couldn't hold back her laughter.
When Murong Xiaoxiao smiled, she captivated the city; when she laughed, she enchanted the nation. Lufeng was momentarily dazed, and Gao Chao and the others were even more so, each one of them looking utterly unrefined.
"Ahem~" Lufeng slightly reminded them and continued, "Xiaoxiao, why don't you share your thoughts?"
After pondering for a long time, Murong Xiaoxiao said, "I believe that glory lies in happiness, while difficulty lies in the process. Everyone being happy is the most glorious profession, but the process is fraught with challenges, making it the most difficult."
In fact, Murong Xiaoxiao wanted to say: I don't care about eternity; I only care about what I've had. Loving you for ten thousand years is too long; just being by your side in this life is enough. This is both a glorious and arduous task.
After hearing everyone's opinions and seeing them look at him, Lufeng smiled calmly: "I think glory lies in simplicity, while difficulty lies in longevity. Life is like a calm well; it is not filled with fervor. Our profession ultimately limits our freedom, so we must find our value here. There are many ways to reflect a person's worth, but right now our best proof is to spend our limited lives on this infinite endeavor. Saying too much is just Bullshit; the key now is to eliminate Li Chonggui and speed up our leveling."
Lufeng already had a plan in mind; these common truths needed to be gradually instilled in the team members. Everyone expressing their views would help reach a state of mutual trust. While discussing this topic, he also checked Aunt Wang's level, which was still one level lower than his. Lufeng didn't want to draw attention to himself or overshadow anyone; Aunt Wang was his boss and a strong player in the game. If she leveled up faster than him, wouldn't that be embarrassing? So Lufeng shifted everyone's focus to lower the leveling speed and popularize this kind of Bullshit.
Unknowingly, Wang Xiaojing also began to appreciate this leveling method and stopped urging everyone to speed up. Everything revolved around Lufeng. Seeing how well-liked Lufeng was, a mischievous thought arose in her mind.
"Hey, Lufeng, you're so articulate and understand Asking Heaven so well. I wonder if you've mastered your own skills?" Wang Xiaojing teased.
Seeing Wang Xiaojing's smiling face, Lufeng already had an idea of what was coming. He smiled calmly: "It seems that unless I show off some real skills, Miss Wang won't let me off the hook. Alright then, I'll reluctantly let you see what Free Mode is all about and what it means to have the demeanor of a master."
Seeing Lufeng bragging about himself, Wang Xiaojing scoffed: "Be careful not to blow your own horn too much; otherwise, it might burst, and then how will you continue being the captain?"
...
The best way to prove oneself is to follow through on words. Lufeng didn't waste any more breath; he gestured to his three roommates. The four of them had collaborated countless times during their university years and were in sync with each other.
Gao Chao and Qin Shou approached Li Chonggui, first using normal attacks, striking at Li Chonggui's head with their blades. Li Chonggui struggled against the four of them, and after blocking Gao Chao and Qin Shou's long swords with the Double Golden Hammer, he held the hammer firmly, spreading it wide and spinning in place, leaving everyone unable to find a flaw.
At that moment, Qiu Han had also stealthily moved behind Li Chonggui, waiting for the perfect opportunity. It seemed that Li Chonggui sensed someone behind him and shifted to the side. Lufeng quickly filled the gap, executing a sharp serpentine maneuver. Seeing someone come to their doom, Li Chonggui relentlessly swung the Double Golden Hammer at Lufeng.
Li Chonggui was now too preoccupied to pay attention to his sides or behind him. Gao Chao and Qin Shou immediately unleashed skills to enhance their weapons, implementing a pincer attack plan. Qiu Han also launched a corresponding sneak attack, quickly reducing Li Chonggui's health by one-tenth.
Li Chonggui hurriedly turned to attack the annoying attacker, leaving himself open to Lufeng.
Seizing the opportunity, Lufeng would not waste it, aiming the tip of his fan at Li Chonggui's neck for a weak point attack, further depleting Li Chonggui's health.
Feeling pain in his neck, Li Chonggui swung the Double Golden Hammer back in retaliation, attacking fiercely and vowing to fight Lufeng to the bitter end. Lufeng found himself unable to defend against the onslaught.
"Be careful!" Murong Xiaoxiao felt her heart leap into her throat, and even Wang Xiaojing's heart began to race unknowingly.
Just as it seemed too late, every time the Double Golden Hammer fell, Lufeng managed to dodge just in time, maximizing his limited Dodge points in a confined space and causing everyone’s hearts to race with tension.
Meanwhile, members of the Extreme Cool Family nearby witnessed this scene and were taken aback. They immediately started recording video, occasionally gasping in amazement.
