Chapter 127 The End of a Horrible Thought

Chen Wusuo Ying performed quite well, displaying his best form—lasting twenty moves under Miss Xu's hand.

Although this duel only lasted for less than two minutes, it was already Xu Huai Shang's longest "net combat time" since the start of S3. In the previous nine rounds, aside from opponents who ran away from the start, Xu Huai Shang rarely needed more than ten moves to defeat an enemy in a head-on confrontation.

Of course, most onlookers didn't understand or care about the difference between "losing within ten moves" and "losing after twenty moves"... So, after this battle, Chen Wusuo Ying's reputation and popularity didn't change much; still tragic.

As an aside, a month later, he finally changed his game ID at the suggestion of the company's management team, but that's another story...

At present, after three matches, the score of three to zero was clear.

The highly anticipated battle between [Shanhe] and [Hell Front] ended with [Hell Front] continuing to maintain their "sweep record".

Fortunately... Qiu Feng Se's "pioneer battle" was well fought. Judging from the course of the match, he was infinitely close to victory, which saved some face for the team. If the first match had been like the next two, [Shanhe] would have really lost too miserably.

...

To make a long story short, as soon as the match ended, Brother Jue and the others returned to the conference room and immediately opened the in-game live broadcast channel to see how the other strong-vs-strong matches were progressing.

First, there was the match between [Order] and [Stardust]... Judging from the score of "3:0" on their channel interface, it was clear that it was already over.

This was not an unexpected result, as the strength gap between the two teams was obvious. However, the formation adopted by [Order] in this match was different from the lineup used in the previous rounds against non-professional teams... When dealing with amateur teams, they would always have Wu Si Can Xuan start, followed by Ye Zhi and Barcode, and then have Zui Wo Chang Ran finish the match in the third round. But this round, they used Meng Jing Chan as the starter, followed by Wu Si Can Xuan and Sashimi, while Zui Wo Chang Ran was still responsible for the third match.

Although the result was still a sweep, it was clear that [Order] paid more attention to [Stardust], so they strengthened the lineup depth in the first three rounds.

Their thinking was very clear—unless they were facing a very threatening team like [Deity], they didn't need to consider the balance of the formation and tried to solve the opponent within three matches... This way, they could expose less information.

Therefore, [Stardust] could not escape this calamity either.

Next, they looked at the match between [Jianghu] and [Wind and Cloud]...

By the time Feng Bujue and the others' match ended, [Jianghu] was already leading 2:0, and the "Lieutenant General Battle" was in progress.

Although [Xiao Wen Cang Tian] in [Dao Jian Xiao] had announced his retirement and would not participate in this S3, [Jianghu]'s strength was still very strong. [Kuang Zong Jian Ying], [Wu Dao Ke], [Cai Bu Pa Ne], [Bu Tian Ge]... These four main players were all top-notch, and their overall strength overwhelmed [Wind and Cloud].

As expected, it was only a matter of time before [Wind and Cloud] lost.

Finally, there was another focal point, the match between [Garbage Alliance] and [Ice Emperor]... which seemed more deadlocked.

Judging from the battle record displayed next to the channel: In the pioneer battle, [Garbage Alliance] sent out [Qi Sha], who almost instantly killed [Hot Afternoon] of [Ice Emperor]. In the middle battle, the combination of [Juan Meng Huan] and [Zhao Ying Wang] faced the combination of [Qu Ming Zhen Shi Nan] (main healer, secondary fighter) and [Zhen Nan Qu Ming Zi] (main fighter, secondary spiritualist)... This match took a long time, but in the end, [Garbage Alliance] still won. Then... in the Lieutenant General Battle, [Tian Ma Xing Kong] lost to [Ming Zi Zhen Nan Qu] within a minute. It was not difficult to see that... this was a "strategic victory". [Ice Emperor] had obviously guessed Little Ma's order of appearance before the match and successfully sniped him. Otherwise, there was no reason to let the shooting specialist Little Ming play this second singles position.

In summary, after the first three matches, the overall score between the two teams was 2:1. At this moment, the "Deputy General Battle" was about to begin.

And the members of [Hell Front] also locked the live broadcast screen on this match.

...

[The match will begin in thirty seconds]

As soon as the system voice sounded, the players entered the arena in response.

On the [Garbage Alliance] side, [Honghu] and [Garbage Uncle] appeared. On the [Ice Emperor] side, it was [Atobe-shonen] and [Black and White Grey].

"Hmph... They really left Teacher Bi in the final 'General' position..." Atobe sneered when he saw the two on the other side, "That Honghu guy... really doesn't show any mercy..."

"Although your tone sounds quite relaxed, can I understand your words to mean... that our match is hanging by a thread?" After joining [Ice Emperor], Black and White Grey undoubtedly inherited the glorious tradition of the studio—taking every opportunity to complain about or bully the president.

"Tch! What's hanging by a thread?" Atobe replied, "Who knows who will win or lose until we fight? I'm also very strong, okay?"

"Then I'm dragging you down?" Black and White Grey smiled, curling her lips.

"Okay, okay... Grandma, you're stronger than me, okay?" Although Atobe didn't have much self-restraint, he still had some gentlemanly demeanor. He often openly argued with the "Naming Difficulty" trio, but when he was being complained about or argued with by girls, he would basically endure as much as he could... If he couldn't bear it... he still had to endure.

On the other hand, on the other side of the barrier...

"Having a girl on the team... feels really good..." Garbage Uncle maintained a stance with his arms crossed in front of his chest, muttering weakly with a颓废look on his face.

"What are you trying to say?" Honghu heard the implication in this guy's words and immediately squinted at him.

"It's nothing... just want to complain..." Garbage Uncle said, "Every team we've encountered on our way up the ranks... seems to have female members..."

"So what?" Honghu replied in a forced indifferent tone.

"In fact, I went to the official website yesterday and checked. Of the remaining 53 teams, we're the only team with all male members..." Garbage Uncle added.

"So I'm asking you... so what?" Honghu seemed a little impatient.

"Hiss..." Garbage Uncle put on a thoughtful look, "Tell me... why didn't we think of recruiting a female member in the first place..."

"Nonsense, because there are already seven of us guys." Honghu replied.

"Alas... we're all players who haven't signed with a studio, and we should be free to form a team, how did we unknowingly form this team of all rough men..." Garbage Uncle continued to mutter to himself as if he hadn't heard Honghu's words.

"What's the point of bringing up this hindsight now..." Honghu said, "If you had suggested... letting Old Bi make room and recruiting a female member into the team, how difficult would it have been? Not to mention anyone else... Old Bi himself would definitely be the first to agree."

"I didn't think of it..." Garbage Uncle said, "By the time I came to my senses, everyone was already here..." He shrugged helplessly, "I'm just feeling emotional now that I see there's 'another' female player on the other side."

"If you really care that much, wear women's clothes in the next match," Honghu replied, "Maybe the other side will be so scared that they all disconnect when they see you, and we'll win without a fight."

After complaining, he paused for half a second before adding, "Oh... that is... if we even have a 'next round'."

Don't look at them chatting happily there, but in reality, they are both under a lot of psychological pressure... Only the members of [Garbage Alliance] themselves know that they have arranged a "four-match lineup". That Teacher Bi left for the last match is not "holding the line" at all, but "never intended to play".

To put it simply... If Honghu and Garbage Uncle fail to win this doubles match, causing the score to become two to two, then... they will most likely be eliminated.

Of course, pressure is pressure, but in terms of strength, they still have a greater advantage.

Even though Atobe has now entered the ranks of first-class players, from a professional point of view, he is still just a newcomer who has only been in the industry for a year. And the support player Black and White Grey is definitely not as strong as Ye Zhi of [Order].

According to the comparison of the hard power of the two sides, playing normally... [Ice Emperor]'s chances of winning are very slim. Therefore, the only thing Honghu is worried about now is... whether the other side is hiding some kind of secret trick that they have never shown before and can only be used once...
