Chapter 1675 The Final Battle
Some, like Ye Xiu and Su Mucheng, ate, chatted, and were no different from usual.
Others, like Tang Rou, went out for a walk alone to clear her head.
Then there were Fang Rui and Mo Fan, who both locked themselves in their rooms and didn't reappear.
And the young ones, Qiao Yifan, An Wenyi, and Luo Ji, seemed to cherish their time the most, studying something tirelessly even at this moment.
What worried Chen Guo the most in the end was Wei Chen and Baozi. These two had left after the afternoon debriefing and hadn't been seen since. She'd said everyone could arrange their own time, so Chen Guo was too embarrassed to inquire. But as it got later and later, and the two still hadn't returned, Chen Guo held her phone, struggling with whether to call and ask. At the same time, she strained her ears, trying to catch even the slightest sound of the two returning in the corridor.
Wait another ten minutes, just ten more minutes, and if they weren't back, she'd go ask around and look for them.
Chen Guo held onto this thought, and after ten minutes, it was another ten minutes, stubbornly delaying for more than an hour. By then, it was already eleven o'clock at night.
Chen Guo finally couldn't bear it anymore. She grabbed her phone and dialed Wei Chen's number.
The familiar ringtone sounded, right in the corridor!
They're back?
Chen Guo didn't hang up, but immediately yanked open the door and rushed out.
Sure enough.
In the corridor, Chen Guo saw Wei Chen and Baozi walking along with beaming smiles. Because of the ringing phone, Wei Chen was reaching into his pocket, and when he saw Chen Guo rushing out, they both casually greeted her. Then, Wei Chen picked up his phone and looked at the caller ID.
"Looking for me?" Wei Chen asked Chen Guo.
"Oh, just saw that you two hadn't come back, so I was asking," Chen Guo said, trying to sound natural. She didn't want them to think she was being nosy and meddlesome, even though she was indeed worried sick in her heart.
"Oh, oh, we're just at the internet cafe across the street!" Wei Chen said.
"What are you two doing running to an internet cafe?" Chen Guo was stunned.
"Running a heidian (black shop)," Wei Chen said.
"So awesome, Boss Lady, come with us next time!" Baozi enthusiastically invited.
Chen Guo's face fell. Heidian is a professional term for online battles, most common in internet cafes. Simply put, it's a group of people sitting together, sharing resources through each other's computer screens, and communicating through easier and more direct offline means, in order to achieve super-high teamwork and bully those unfamiliar opponents who randomly enter online.
This kind of behavior, of course, isn't to be encouraged. As a Glory diehard, Chen Guo generally wouldn't give a good look to those customers in her internet cafe who yelled and screamed while running a heidian. Of course, she wouldn't go so far as to kick them out, but when the internet cafe sometimes had promotions, giving out discount cards and the like, she definitely wouldn't favor these people.
But now, Team Happy, the professional team that made it into the finals, two of their professional players were actually running to an internet cafe to run a heidian.
At this moment, Chen Guo only had one sentence she wanted to say to these two.
"Are you guys really that desperate?"
"Sigh, if only we could run a heidian during the match," Baozi actually said with deep feeling.
Chen Guo glared fiercely at Wei Chen. This was definitely Wei Chen's doing.
"It's getting late, go rest! We'll go another day when we're free," Wei Chen said goodbye to Baozi without any self-awareness.
"Okay, okay," Baozi happily returned to his room. Wei Chen looked at Chen Guo, chuckled, and said, "Think we're particularly bored, don't you?"
"Very much so," Chen Guo nodded vigorously.
"Actually, this is also a kind of xiu xing (cultivation)," Wei Chen said.
"What kind of xiu xing?" Chen Guo asked.
"I'll take you with us next time," Wei Chen said.
"Oh, okay!" Chen Guo agreed without thinking.
Wei Chen smiled, said goodbye, and also returned to his room.
Chen Guo stood in the corridor for another half a minute, tears streaming down her face.
Moral integrity! How did her own moral integrity also fall? What xiu xing, this guy was just making it up, right? It's purely a lack of principles!
The first day of the rest day passed just like that. The second day was still free time, and because there wasn't a debriefing-like tactical meeting, Chen Guo didn't even see everyone that day.
Chen Guo was really super curious about what everyone was doing, and really wanted to edit a "What are you doing?" message and send it to the group.
But, restrain yourself!
Chen Guo didn't want to disturb everyone. In fact, she trusted everyone in her heart. Although the guys from Happy had different personalities and all kinds of bizarre quirks, Chen Guo really felt that this was a very reliable team. Take Wei Chen and Baozi going to run a heidian, for example, Chen Guo really believed they were using it as a kind of xiu xing, a xiu xing to relax themselves.
As for staying out all night, what she called worry was probably more curiosity.
So Chen Guo restrained herself. She didn't want her curiosity to disrupt everyone's rhythm. Anything she wanted to know, anything she wanted to ask, she'd wait until the day the match ended!
The second day passed in a flash. The third day, the final battle for the season's ultimate championship would be that night, and on this day, the team was going to have a practice session together, a practice session for the purpose of warming up.
So in the training room, Chen Guo saw everyone together for the second time since the debriefing that day.
Tension!
As the final battle approached bit by bit, Chen Guo couldn't help but become more and more nervous. She was afraid, afraid that the team's hard work for the whole year would fall short at this last step. This kind of disappointment, this kind of regret, Chen Guo really didn't know how she should face it.
The joint practice lasted for about two hours, and there wasn't much communication between everyone. The atmosphere seemed a little oppressive, but in this atmosphere, Happy's players were focused and dedicated. No one deliberately said or did anything to ease the atmosphere. They were in sync with this oppression.
Ye Xiu seemed quite satisfied with this approach. After the two-hour joint practice, he began to speak with a smile.
"Is everyone ready?" Ye Xiu asked.
Some nodded, some spoke, all indicating confirmation.
"Then, go win it!" Ye Xiu said.
Some nodded, some spoke, again indicating confirmation.
Then set off! Towards Samsara's home stadium, towards this final battle of the season, Happy embarked on their last journey.
The stadium was already packed, and even the professional players who came to watch had entered the venue quite early, now patiently waiting for the time to arrive.
The final battle also opened a prediction channel for the winner, but this time, what attracted attention was no longer the proportion produced by the final vote, but that this time, the number of people participating in the vote was surprisingly small, far less than any match in the playoffs.
The battle that ultimately determines the championship, how could it not attract attention?
But attention was paid, but there were few votes, which naturally only had one explanation: many people didn't know who to vote for. Apart from those who had a firm leaning, the other neutrals, or those who analyzed the problem with reason, could no longer predict the outcome of this game.
In the first round, Samsara defeated Happy on Happy's home turf. Their strong performance instantly shattered the image that Happy had established in their match against Tyranny, that they could fight against the powerhouses. So before the second round, the voting ratio completely crushed Happy.
As a result, in this round, Happy's Ye Xiu defeated Samsara's Zhou Zekai in the individual competition, and then in the team competition, there were all kinds of god-like shocking performances, making people realize that the one-sided view before was particularly wrong.
Happy captured Samsara's devil's home stadium, ending Samsara's undefeated record on their home turf this season. Samsara defeated them on their home turf, and they turned around and defeated Samsara on their home turf.
In terms of paper strength, Samsara was stronger than Happy, everyone admitted that. But what if Happy had such god-like performance again?
Happy's unpredictability made everyone who hoped to rationally analyze the win or loss ultimately lost. At this time, everyone wanted to say the sentence that Li Yibo used most often when he couldn't figure out the situation in the commentary: Let us wait and see.
Wait and see, Glory League's tenth season, the final battle for the ultimate championship! Under the eye-catching lights, in the noisy clamor, it's about to begin.
The players of the two teams lined up on the competition stage, about to draw the final period to this entire season's expedition.
Who is the champion?
Samsara!!
Samsara, taking advantage of their home field, used the voices of the many supporters on the scene to make their voice first.
