Chapter 127 - 109: Golden Era (Part 3)

That’s right, a Glass Cannon!

Why has he caught the Intel Team’s attention? Why does he earn a high salary of 100,000 a month? Why has he edged out his teammates to become the core pillar of the Intel Team?

The answer lies here...

He is the player most skilled at using Emperor of the Long Night since "Star Emperor" launched, also known as "Long Night Master."

Other players using Emperor of the Long Night typically have a win rate of less than 40%, but his rate is 90%!

What’s wrong with a Glass Cannon?

The more one dances on the edge of a knife, the more miracles can be created. Those who underestimate Emperor of the Long Night’s damage capacity end up dead by his hands.

Even those included among Immortal Emperors on the Path to Immortality!

Back then, he was the only player on Path to Immortality who reached Immortal King with a 2060S.

"You only have ten moves!"

Remembering what the Intel engineers said to him on his way here, Xu Xiaofei felt confident.

Extreme Sublimation, ten moves are enough!

No matter what black technology or powerful hardware the opponent has, he will surely conquer them within ten moves.

"3, 2, 1..."

As the countdown ended, both sides simultaneously activated Extreme Sublimation.

Under the 8K resolution and ultra-high-quality graphics, the effects of Extreme Sublimation were intense, and Xu Xiaofei knew time was limited; he only had ten moves.

So he didn’t hesitate and started with a killer move that included the Emperor’s Weapon Phenomenon and Secret Technique.

Black smoke permeated the screen; Emperor of the Long Night appeared like an assassin in the shadows, striking with one palm, dropping Profound Turtle Venerable’s health a significant amount.

"So painful?"

The opponent, unfamiliar with Emperor of the Long Night, underestimated the full-damage capability, thinking Profound Turtle Venerable’s shield could withstand it.

But the shield shattered upon contact.

The damage was too high, and Xu Xiaofei’s mastery of the character was at a high level, with his combo sequences being incredibly smooth and his movement skills in dodging on point.

The choice of Profound Turtle Venerable was to stall, hoping the opponent’s host would overheat and crash, but they underestimated Emperor of the Long Night’s explosive damage, leaving them stunned.

Six moves!

In just 40 seconds Xu Xiaofei managed to defeat this "turtle-like" opponent, easily securing the first victory.

This relieved him.

Luckily this guy was rather silly, choosing the slowest moving Profound Turtle Venerable against him. If he had chosen Feather Venerable, his skills would have been hard to hit, and it wouldn’t have been such a swift victory.

Chance hit the mark!

The opponent likely intended to select a high-durability, tough shield character to drag it out. Waiting for the enemy’s host to collapse, then the computer would overheat to win automatically.

But they didn’t expect the Intel Team to have someone like Xu Xiaofei, an expert master of Emperor of the Long Night...

"Alright, alright, 1-1!"

Big Beard was thrilled, not only praising Xu Xiaofei for a job well done but also instructing the engineers to check the host for hardware wear and tear.

There are still nine matches to go!

The spare parts they carry are few; if they swap a set of parts after every match, it won’t be enough.

Especially the discrete graphics card...

This thing is top-secret, just sent from the headquarters lab; if it breaks after one match, there aren’t many replacements.

As for the specific model, aside from the headquarters engineers, no one in the team knows.

They can only deduce based on performance, guessing it is Intel’s secret development, competing with rival flagship discrete graphic processors.

It’s not just Intel.

Other teams also use hardware platforms with confidential models during matches. Either it’s laboratory new technology or undisclosed new products. They can’t be bought on the market.

Take Daren Shuo’s competition host as an example.

Though the public materials claim it’s a 4090Ti, who knows how much video memory it has? What’s the core frequency?

4090Ti is just a facade.

Anyone who believes it is truly foolish; this thing has been modified and overclocked, essentially beyond recognition. Can it still be called a 4090Ti?

Perhaps when Old Huang releases the new 50 series, even the highest-end 5090 won’t reach this level. After all, it’s designed specifically for competition, a "disposable" graphics card without considering power-loss consumption!
