"Try it my ass! You think you can even try that?"
"Sigh, at this point, let's not discourage the young people anymore. We should discuss other things."
"If you have another chance to broaden your horizons next time, remember to study more before you come out. This limitation... can probably only be overcome in dreams."
Despite the many sarcastic remarks, there were still quite a few people who spoke well of Li Ji.
However, these people did not pay much attention to Li Ji, after all, he just looked like a young and impetuous man.
Everyone has a youthful phase!
Wanting to show off and attract attention is a very common thing.
However, it shows a lack of tact and consideration for the situation.
But before Li Ji could say anything more, the door to the command room was gently pushed open, and a strong, clear voice came from outside.
"Qianya, at a time like this, let's play the combat video so that the young people here can see the world. This may be the last meeting in this temporary command room."
"Greetings, Commander!"
When the crowd saw the old man enter, they all shouted in unison.
The old man was dressed in a dark green military uniform. Although the years had etched their marks on his face, they did not diminish his handsomeness in the slightest.
His face was thin and sharply defined, like a masterpiece sculpted by a meticulous artist. A pair of dark glasses perched on his high nose added to his refined and scholarly air.
"This is an emergency, there's no need to return the courtesy."
The commander waved his hand and tossed a file labeled "Top Secret" onto the table in front of Qianya.
"Let everyone see. Although reason tells me I should retreat, I'm getting old and I can't bear to leave this place. I still want to give it one last shot."
"commander……"
Qianya hesitated for a moment. It wasn't that she didn't want to show the combat video of her team, but she felt that it would be safer to save manpower and resources and retreat quickly instead of continuing the futile struggle.
"Go ahead and release it. Also, if anyone has any questions, Qianya can answer them for you."
The commander stood tall below the stage like a sturdy pine tree. Even though time had left indelible marks on this old man, his temperament remained unchanged.
"We still have some time, so let's listen to the commander and let everyone see what's going on inside."
As Qianya spoke, he looked around and, seeing that many elites below the stage were nodding in agreement, gave Li Ji a meaningful look.
She then pulled the large screen in the temporary operations room down from the ceiling, and the black screen instantly displayed images of Yingming Pavilion fighting in the cracks.
"Now that we've come this far, we'll reveal our skills and equipment to everyone, hoping that you can learn something from today's battle."
Instead of adopting the Pure Flow strategy, Qianya chose to reveal their tactics to the public.
The combat video on the stage was still playing, and some people in the audience were finally able to ask their questions after hearing the commander's last words.
"Captain Qianya, you just mentioned relocating the safe zone. Is it really that serious?"
A woman with short, dark green hair asked Qianya from below, "What will happen if I don't play the full match?"
"Currently, sealing the rift is something we can barely manage. Sealing it isn't difficult, but the difficulty lies in... if we don't fully exploit it, some of its contracts will leak out, forming an ever-expanding territory."
"field?"
"Yes, just like when we first came into contact with the rift, what leaked out was an 80% attack boost for everyone. All enemies that appeared in that area had their attack power increased accordingly. According to the experts' calculations, the area can currently cover up to half of the Yan Kingdom."
Qianya shook his head. "Besides, if it's just that the rift can't be sealed, the monsters inside can only bring out some buffs. We can have a hundred or a thousand people guarding the rift every day, so there's no need to panic."
"But as time goes on, it's hard to guarantee that other terms won't be leaked. If, in the end, the terms for the surrounding areas also include 'only four operators can enter the area,' then this rift will truly be out of control."
"At least within this area, there should be no way for living people to survive."
After hearing this, the audience couldn't help but sigh again.
Because this fundamentally seals off any possibility of them maintaining the order of the cracks.
Especially when I heard the last one...
It's hard to imagine that someone could lead four people to break through the enemy's encirclement, then fight their way to the rift and seal it off.
After saying all this, Qianya still spoke in a tone devoid of any personal emotion: "So I still stand by the suggestion I just gave, which is to gradually move the safe zone backwards."
It's unclear whether it was Li Ji's earlier comment about wanting to try that awakened some of the people present.
While watching the combat video, they also offered their own thoughts and opinions.
"Why don't we take advantage of the remaining chance and give it a try... Although rationally speaking, there's really no way to get through this, I'm definitely not willing to let it end like this."
"We're not even as conscientious as a recent college graduate. At least he dared to give it a try!"
"No, let me check the recording again. There must be another way. Heaven wouldn't present an unsolvable problem..."
Meanwhile, the other group of pessimists were discussing other topics with resentment on their faces.
"Even if we use all the resources of the Yan Kingdom, we still can't reach the maximum level? What did Ursus say?"
"Yeah, isn't this rift from Ursus?! Damn it, why did those bastards from the Fusion Faction open a rift in Yan Country?!"
"Do you remember what the two interlocking cracks next to it are called? Dragon Gate Outer Ring - Uninhabited Dangerous Building."
"That main image has nothing to do with us; that's Chernobog!"
Looking at the excited crowd, the instructor sighed and replied:
"Because the area of influence only extends to a point just outside the border of the Ursus Safe Zone, Ursus chose to remain silent and did not send reinforcements to Yan Kingdom."
"A friend in need is a friend indeed, this is truly unbelievable!"
"Anyone who wouldn't shake their head when they see these numbers, so don't blame them for not providing support... If you were us, we might not go either!"
"Sigh, should we try one more time? Isn't it a bit too demoralizing to talk about moving all at once?"
"..."
Looking at the diverse expressions on the faces of the people, Li Ji gently shook his head.
Back in the 59 Ruins, it was indeed difficult to find a four-person solution, because for the old-fashioned operators, the mechanism stitching was not as powerful as it is now.
Finding an operator who has control abilities, high damage output, some healing capabilities, and ideally, can also generate DP is practically impossible.
Ines's Void Champion title wasn't due to her stats at all, but rather because, as a Vanguard, she had so many unique and impactful abilities.
As a result, he didn't have many contract achievements, but he consistently ranked first on various high-difficulty lists.
Mechanics are still crucial for Arknights.
Numerical values may change over time, but the mechanics will always be the unique strengths of each operator.
It might even benefit from the numerical iteration process due to its own mechanisms...
But things are different now. Li Ji now has far too many Frankenstein's monster operators at his disposal.
In terms of mechanisms, it should be possible to manipulate the ruins of No. 59 at will.
However, the fact that only four people have solved this part still needs to be verified.
Because Arknights has never re-released the Contingency Contract event since its launch!
Therefore, the four-person solution to the Ruins of 59 only exists in theory.
A hypothesis once proposed by a famous conceptualist remains to be realized.
Now is the best time for Li Ji to verify this idea.
Even though these people were trying to stop him, he still wanted to take advantage of this excellent opportunity to see if he could actually complete the contract crisis that had returned from beyond time and space.
With that in mind, Li Ji picked up a stack of white paper next to him and, using the information and data provided by Qianya, silently verified the feasibility of the four-person team.
……
Time flew by, and the discussion finally came to an end.
During this long wait and discussion, Qianya also released the video of his team, Yingming Pavilion, so that all teams could find suitable candidates.
However, after everyone saw the battle strategy of Yingming Pavilion's level 22 affixes, they all fell into deep thought.
They didn't select the reduction in blood loss, deployment restrictions, or rugged terrain (blocking grids) at level two, but instead chose to select level three.
A full squad, consisting of a slowing support, a slowing spike, and a pusher specialist, was tasked with controlling the Avengers on the side lanes. A sniper and a healing shield were assigned to deal with the stealth warlock in the lower right corner. The rest of the squad handled the lightly armored guards, heavily armored defenders, and armed personnel coming from the main battlefield.
The tactics were very rigorous, and it's easy to understand the approach to learning them.
But the problem is that... Yingming Pavilion's combat records show a team of 12 people!
Those present need to condense the functions of these twelve people into four people in order to completely seal the rift in the ruins of District 59!
"Holy crap, is this even possible for a human?"
A burly man sighed and cursed, but he quickly remembered that the commander was still beside him, so he immediately covered his mouth and squatted down, cosplaying as a coward.
But with that one word, he truly became the mouthpiece for almost everyone present.
Just as everyone fell silent, Li Ji finally completed his calculations.
"No problem, it definitely works!"
This one sentence immediately drew everyone's attention to him once again.
"It's him again?"
Many people secretly thought to themselves, "Why is this young man, who doesn't look that old, so eager to show off?"
