Reincarnation of the Strongest Healer

Fair fight in the simulation?

Yeah, right!

While the two agreed to a fair fight prior to the simulation, the truth couldn’t be any far off.

”Didn’t you say fair fight, Feng?” Carmen asked in disdain.

”The same goes for you.” Xu Feng clicked his tongue.

The two of them were currently bantering with each other while managing their resources and team deployment.

As the two focused on a particular cliff that was critical to their advancement, both sides were going at it seriously.

”Feng, do you think I really studied for nothing?” Carmen suddenly sneered when she counted the team members on Xu Feng’s side.

”You wanted to send some members to do sneaky stuff again!”

It was clearly missing two people.

”Hmm, you know math?” Xu Feng didn’t react much to being caught about sending his characters elsewhere. Instead, he taunted her and even acted nonchalant about being caught.

But deep inside, he was impressed by her keen sight.

’Looks like she really learned her lesson well.’ He immediately recalled the people he sent who were supposed to sabotage Carmen’s resource lines.

After all, he noticed that she had already sent a few members over there.

The plan had been exposed, and continuing the issue would be a foolish matter.

Suddenly, Xu Feng narrowed his eyes and glanced at the screen.

’This sneaky Carmen.’ Initially, he thought she sent a bit more people in hopes of eliminating his sabotage group.

But he couldn’t be wrong anymore.

While it appeared they were going there initially, the small group actually split even further at a blind spot.

And amidst that time, she even used the Stealth Cloak on them to avoid detection on the map radar.

Unfortunately, Carmen was still lacking a little bit. He had made sure to set alarm traps everywhere in critical spots.

However, he must admit that he never expected them to be triggered.

For them to be triggered under his nose proved that Carmen was already adapting extremely fast in this simulation.

”Wow, are you serious right now? Traps in your critical resources?” Carmen hissed and taunted him for being such a wussy.

”Can never be too careful when dealing with a rat, you know?” Xu Feng took the taunt as a compliment. He wasn’t going to give his opponent a single chance to sabotage or ruin his plan.

One must always be cautious and put out security measures no matter what.

This was something Kong Ming should have learned back at the defense border. Had he been more cautious and prepared more measurements, the situation wouldn’t have escalated so much.

But then again, it was because of that moment of carelessness that enabled Xu Feng to snatch a great strategist for his guild.

’Speaking of Kong Ming, the latter must have been helping me out in gathering evidence.’ He was certain that the Hell Summoner Cedric was related to one of the Super Guilds.

Otherwise, it was impossible for them to avoid the NPC’s detection and infiltrate so deeply into the city.

”Oy, if you’re getting distracted now, then you can surrender now!” Carmen’s voice suddenly echoed as she made a final push to split her entire team into multiple sectors.

”I still have traps—” Xu Feng was about to laugh at her moves until he noticed his traps were being disarmed at an alarming rate.

’Damn it.’ Without hesitation, he quickly opened the team composition from Carmen’s side.

Sure enough, she had actually swapped her team characters, and the new bond was created: Disarmlist.

What was Disarmlist?

It was basically the name itself that they specialized in disarming traps and other mechanisms.

However, for that to work, the player needed to identify the location of the trap and the mechanism for it to work quickly.

”Revelation Bond...”

He suddenly muttered when he realized that Carmen was sending those members out, and triggering his traps wasn’t a rookie mistake.

Instead, it was a deliberate plan of hers while playing a fool who got caught doing a sneaky play.

The Revelation Bond, when triggered by a trap, would instantly reveal all nearby traps of similar degree.

And because Xu Feng lacked the necessary coins to upgrade his traps to a higher level, nor did he anticipate Carmen triggering them all, he didn’t prioritize their upgrades.

Had he at least upgraded the traps to a higher tier, the Disarmlist Bond wouldn’t have been so lethal.

”Haha, I bet you never expected this move, did you?” Carmen sneered coldly as her members finally breached his defensive line.

[Warning! Warning! Warning!]

[Your traps are being disarmed!]

[Almost all your traps are disarmed!]

[The opponent has breached the defensive line!]

[Your base has dropped to 70%]

Xu Feng wanted to do a last-ditch effort to send the team members he had been concealing to approach the gate.

He even made sure to substitute his members to remove all the bonds in the hope of triggering the No Bond Explosion.

Alas, Carmen was well-prepared and had enhanced her gate to the maximum level. She didn’t even spend a single coin setting traps at her critical resource base.

”I’ve anticipated that you might target my resources line, but I gambled anyway. If you destroy them, then so be it because my real strategy was a smothered mate!” Carmen revealed her plan because she easily obliterated Xu Feng’s defending teams like nothing.

Since he also gambled heavily and changed into a No Bond, there were no bonus attributes or anything strong about his teams.

”Well done.” Xu Feng leaned back on the throne and began clapping his hands.

”You’ve won this round!” He admitted defeat under such circumstances.

[Your base has dropped to 40%]

[You have been defeated!]

A familiar prompt, like always, was displayed, except the target had been swapped.

[You have won!]

Carmen’s screen had a bright victory screen and confetti throwing.

”Wooohooo!” She stood up from her throne and cheered loudly.

After two miserable defeats, she had finally won the third round fair and square.

And she was certain that Xu Feng severely underestimated her ability to adapt.
