Chapter 40 Age

The issue of age. This was something that Chen Guo could understand the most, because she also had personal experience with it. Usually, when just playing games for fun, she didn't think that age would have any impact on playing games. But when she really treated it as a high-precision career to study, this problem immediately became prominent.

"Since you've discovered these problems, then you have to tell them, right?" Chen Guo said.

"Of course, I have to tell them. Aren't I organizing it first?" Ye Xiu said.

Chen Guo saw that Ye Xiu was going to make a recording of today's game, and then talk to everyone about these problems in a targeted manner. Only then did she completely relax.

"Is there anything I can help with?" Chen Guo asked.

Ye Xiu touched his pocket, and nodded under Chen Guo's eager anticipation, "Yeah, help me buy a pack of cigarettes."

Chen Guo turned around with a dark line on her forehead and left. She originally wanted to go straight back to her room. But when she was about to close the door, she saw Ye Xiu sitting in front of the computer, busy with his work. Her heart softened, and she didn't harden her heart after all. She ran to buy Ye Xiu a pack of cigarettes, put it lightly by his hand when she returned, and left quietly.

Back in her room, Tang Rou hadn't rested yet, and was also playing with her computer. Chen Guo took a closer look and saw that Tang Rou was looking at information and videos related to Battle Mages.

Chen Guo smiled. Ye Xiu was right, their Excellent Era's team members didn't need comfort and encouragement at all. Everyone would actively face the problem.

"Don't stay up too late, rest early." Chen Guo originally wanted to chat with Tang Rou for a few words, but when she saw her so focused on studying Battle Mages, she said softly and didn't bother her anymore.

"How did everyone sleep last night?" Ye Xiu asked everyone with a smile.

Everyone looked at each other for a moment, without saying a word.

"We've been sailing smoothly in the Challenger League, only treating Jia Shi as our final competitor. We've somewhat neglected the other opponents. In the last match, we paid some price for this. Because of the loss of points in this game, the current situation in Group B is a bit grim. In the next two games, we must do our best to grab points, and we can't afford to be careless at all," Ye Xiu said.

"Understood." Everyone nodded. Everyone's attitude was unexpectedly serious, which was quite different from the usual atmosphere within Team Excellent Era.

"Then let's review the last match first!" Ye Xiu said.

As Ye Xiu said, victory would cover up problems, and failure would expose problems. So after the first big win, Ye Xiu didn't take them to review the game, but this time, the review took a whole morning.

A team is a whole, so everyone's problem is also the team's problem. As teammates, they need to understand each other's characteristics, and these characteristics include strengths and weaknesses. Only with complete familiarity and understanding can they achieve the best tacit understanding. Therefore, Ye Xiu directly brought up everyone's problems for the whole team to discuss. Personal efforts, coupled with the team's care, could solve problems more efficiently.

In the morning, they reviewed the problems that appeared in yesterday's game together. In the afternoon, there was some normal training. The next day, Ye Xiu was already holding the collected and organized information of the next opponent, and began to prepare for the battle in a targeted manner.

In the blink of an eye, three days passed, and the fourth round of the competition kicked off on Friday night.

In Group B, Team Excellent Era fought against Team Yunxuan Pavilion, Team Xuanqi fought against Team Caopan, and Team Ten Steps One Kill was empty this round.

Team Ten Steps One Kill, which only accumulated 3 points, had already been eliminated in advance, and simply didn't come to the scene to watch the game today. Team Yunxuan Pavilion, on the other hand, had only a glimmer of hope for qualifying. Originally, this hope was no different from disappointment for them, but after seeing Team Excellent Era capsize on Team Caopan in the last round, Team Yunxuan Pavilion was in high spirits today, and put on a posture of fighting to the death.

However, Team Excellent Era would not give their opponents any chance today, and crushed Team Yunxuan Pavilion with a destructive force. In half an hour, Team Excellent Era ended today's game.

However, Team Excellent Era still lost 1 point in this round.

Among Team Yunxuan, there was an assassin player with a one-trick pony, whose overall strength was mediocre, but he had a very good grasp of the 'Life-Risking Strike' skill. In the match with Xuanqi, this person grabbed a point in the individual competition.

This one-trick pony was obviously not suitable for fighting in the individual competition in the arena, so in the match against Excellent Era, this person was still in the individual competition.

Regarding this person, Ye Xiu also specifically pointed out during the preparation, but Tang Rou, who encountered him in the individual competition, was still tricked by this guy in the end, making Tang Rou very depressed. Tang Rou liked to face-to-face duels to complete the battle. She didn't like the wretched style of play, and it was a bit difficult for her to deal with it. This was a problem of hers that was reflected in this game.

So after this game, Excellent Era accumulated 21 points in three games, and Yunxuan Pavilion was also eliminated in advance after three games.

On the other side, the match between Xuanqi and Caopan was still in progress. Because they lost a lot of points in the second round of the match with Caopan, Excellent Era's qualifying situation was somewhat passive. The outcome of this match was also extremely important for Excellent Era. The people who had just finished the team competition and left the field went directly to pay attention to the situation of that match. And Chen Guo, who had been able to pay attention to the situation on both sides, didn't look very good at this time.

The match between Xuanqi and Caopan had already entered the team competition, and the results of the previous two rounds of individual events were somewhat unexpected: 2 to 3.

In the individual event, Caopan actually snatched 3 points from Xuanqi. If they took down Xuanqi again in the team competition, they would have succeeded in slaying the dragon twice, thoroughly showing the true colors of a dark horse. And with these 8 points, they would completely ensure a qualifying spot, and one of Excellent Era and Xuanqi must be eliminated in the final round.

But even if Xuanqi now wins Caopan in the team competition, will Excellent Era's final situation be easy?

Ye Xiu glanced at the player seats next to him, and happened to see someone holding a small notebook, looking towards Excellent Era. Seeing Ye Xiu look over, a smile flashed across his face.

"Hey! Gun King." Ye Xiu greeted this person.

"Haha, I dare not accept that title." The person smiled, turned his head and continued to watch the game.

This person will not play in the competition, but in fact, he is the real core figure of Team Xuanqi.

Zhang Yiwei, a professional player who entered the league in the second season. In those years, he was also a famous generation of sharpshooters, but now his aura has been completely covered by his younger generation. There was no way, because the successor after Zhang Yiwei was too dazzling.

Zhang Yiwei's professional career was mostly spent in Team Samsara, and the character he controlled at that time was called One Autumn Leaf, which is also the character used by Zhou Zekai, who is now known as the Gun King, the number one player in the league. Ye Xiu called him Gun King, and Zhang Yiwei said he didn't dare to accept the title. It wasn't humility, because when he was controlling One Autumn Leaf, he didn't have the nickname of Gun King yet.

Having such a younger generation is a blessing for the team, but it is somewhat sad for the predecessors. Zhou Zekai's continuous strong performance after taking over One Autumn Leaf made the predecessors look particularly incompetent.

After Zhang Yiwei's position was replaced by Zhou Zekai, he finally left Team Samsara in frustration, wandered for two seasons, and finally announced his retirement after the sixth season. Then, he made a gorgeous turn and became the coach of Team Xuanqi, which can be regarded as opening a historical page for the Glory Alliance. Before him, professional teams never had the position of coach. And in that year, Xuanqi finally succeeded in staying in the alliance, which then attracted followers. The new team Mingqing, which joined the alliance the following year, also got a coach to help the team.

Zhang Yiwei deserves at least half the credit for Xuanqi's results. Therefore, the real core figure of Team Xuanqi is not on the field, but the coach on the sidelines. Even if they were eventually relegated last season, it seems that Xuanqi's boss still trusts Zhang Yiwei and continues to keep him in charge of the team.

"Looks like Xuanqi is doing well?" Chen Guo said excitedly to Ye Xiu at this time. At this time, in Xuanqi's team competition against Caopan, Xuanqi was firmly in the lead. It seemed that this dark horse from Caopan was impossible to be dark to the end.

"As long as they are not careless, Xuanqi shouldn't have lost points on Caopan," Ye Xiu said, and looked at Zhang Yiwei over there again.

"That's great." Chen Guo smiled.

"Great? What's great?" Ye Xiu asked.

"If Xuanqi wins, we will have an easier time in the final round, right?" Chen Guo said.

"Calculate the points carefully before you look!" Ye Xiu said.

"Hmm?" Chen Guo was stunned for a moment, and then calculated the points according to the current situation.

If this round develops as it is now, Xuanqi will beat Caopan in the team competition, and the final score will be fixed at 7 to 3. In this way, after four rounds, the situation in Group B will be that Caopan has completed all four matches, with 28 points temporarily ranking first, Xuanqi is second with 26 points in three matches, Excellent Era is third with 21 points in three matches, and the other two teams are no longer necessary to pay attention to.

In the last round, Team Caopan will be empty, Excellent Era will fight against Xuanqi, and the match of the other pair is irrelevant and can be ignored. The final scores of the three teams made Chen Guo's face change.

Caopan's 28 points will no longer change. The score between Excellent Era and Xuanqi will change due to the last round of the competition. Currently, Excellent Era is 5 points behind Xuanqi and 7 points behind Caopan. In the last round, how many points must Excellent Era strive to get in order to get the qualifying spot?

"8 points..." Ye Xiu, on the side, had already said the answer.

Only by getting 8 points can Excellent Era accumulate 29 points and qualify as the first in the group. If they get one point less, 7 points, then Xuanqi, who gets 3 points, will get 29 points and become the final first. Excellent Era and Caopan will have the same 28 points, then according to the competition system, if the scores are the same, the score in the direct confrontation between the two sides will be referred to. Excellent Era, which is at a disadvantage with 3 to 7, will eventually eliminate Caopan.

On the competition field, Xuanqi's advantage has become more and more obvious. With five people intact, three characters from Team Caopan have been killed and eliminated. Zhang Yiwei, on the sidelines, also showed a satisfied smile, turned his head, and looked at the Excellent Era people again.
