Chapter 306: Free Admiration (2/2)
Wang Tong shook his head.
Karl also remained calm. He knew that talk was cheap; only results would prove them wrong. Although the Ivantians’ overall skills were far behind that of the Kaedeians, they were much more ostentatious than the latter.
The three Kaedeians remained calm and stoic. However, their beauty was undeniable.
”Boss, let's show him some color. This idiot won't stop babbling.”
”That's because he is afraid.”
”Afraid?”
”KKK is very good at using his opponent's psychological weakness. Didn't you notice that he never stalk shit about the Kaedeians? That is because he knows that his words won't affect them. However, he knows that us earthlings are more emotional, and therefore, he uses his ploy on us. But, he did it because he fears us. Otherwise, he won't have to do it. ” Wang Tong explained.
”Sh*t, that's despicable!”
”It's alright. The more you pay attention to our world, the more freaks like that you would get to notice. He won't be the last one, so it's a good opportunity for us to test our patience.”
”Boss...”
”What?”
”I admire you!”
”Oh, you! just buy me a dinner.”
”No!” Karl refused without a second thought.
”You just said you admire me.”
”Admiration is free, but dinner is not.”
The four laughed together.
Psychological control was a science, and that was why most scientists would be so successful in other areas with the help of their ability to manipulate other's emotions.
Samantha, for example, was a master in the art of manipulation.
”Ladies and gentlemen, what you are watching is the live stream of the pan-solar system tournament, the fleet battle session's final eight matches. We have over five thousand media outlets reporting live from the arena, with more than two hundred thousand live audiences. The first match of the day is between Flash of Capth and Paris of Royal Kaedeian. This is going to be an exciting match, since earthlings had never able to find a viable solution to counter the Kaedeians attack. Let's hope that Flash would bring us some surprises today. ”
The Ivantian host announced with a gleeful voice. However, his money was not on Flash, since he believed that he was still a relatively inexperienced player, and earthlings overall fell far behind Kaedeians in fleet battle.
Flash remained placid, and so was his opponent, Paris. It would be the first time Flash ever fought a tough Kaedeian player who was as methodical as him.
The first round began.
Paris started the game with a normal opening, and Flash had also used the most commonly used opening formation.
Seeing the earthling boy not pulling any tricks from under his sleeve, the audiences worried if he would be able to survive the Kaedeian's attack.
Neither of the two deviated from the set strategies in the first dozen minutes. However, a few minutes later, Flash had sent in his first wave of attacks. Everyone thought that this first wave of attack would be cannon fodder under the Kaedeian's defense.
The two forces engaged and both sides sustained heavy losses; it was a better outcome than what Flash had expected.
In a few moments, Flash had pushed out his second wave of attack among the audiences disapproving criticisms.
Flash's economy had already fallen behind.
Flash had gained a slight advantage in the second round of attack, but he didn't have many ships left after the skirmish ended. Paris seized the vacuum of her opponent's force and started an aggressive expansion, hoping her expansion of bases would aggravate Flash to attack her again. Even if Flash wanted to expand, Paris thought, it would be already too late, since she had taken control all of the resources nodes on the map.
Everyone was surprised to find out that Flash didn't expand his territory.
Paris had built four bases, and her fleet economy was also through the roof. Despite being constantly harassed by Flash's fleet, her forces were increasing its rank by the second.
Finally, a large battle broke out in the very middle of the map. Although Flash had ended up destroying all of Paris's fleet, he did not have enough force left to take over even one of Paris's four bases.
The situation was not looking too bright for Flash.
