Hu Die Lan
Chapter 1039 Hijacking the Competition
But Shen Jian's performance in this match, from the process to the result, was obviously very unsatisfactory to everyone. However, compared to the boos for Xingxin, the Jiashi fans were still much more polite to their own team. Amidst the boos, there were also some applause to encourage their own player.
Shen Jian returned to the player's seat with his head drooping. Tao Xuan patted him and comforted him a few words before letting him rest on the side. After all, Tao Xuan was an experienced boss of a professional team, so he wouldn't do something as childish as venting his anger like Xiao Jie, the boss of Zhuxian.
The last Jiashi player was about to take the stage, and everyone stretched their necks waiting for this person to be chosen. Tao Xuan glanced at Xingxin as if intentionally or unintentionally, and then, Su Mucheng stood up from the Jiashi player's seat.
As expected…
Chen Guo thought to herself.
This was a suspense that everyone had intentionally or unintentionally avoided mentioning. Would Su Mucheng represent Jiashi in today's match? And now, the truth was finally revealed.
Su Mucheng glanced at Xingxin, her gaze not revealing too much. She turned and walked towards the competition seat. Tao Xuan, at this time, also suddenly turned his head and glanced at Xingxin, or rather, glanced at Ye Xiu, his eyes revealing a kind of expression that seemed to be smug, yet also seemed to be teasing.
What does this mean?
Chen Guo didn't understand and turned to look at Ye Xiu, but saw an expression on Ye Xiu's face that she had never seen before. This was probably, anger?
Yes, anger!
Even Ye Xiu, who had always been exceptionally calm even when he was retired and blackened by Jiashi, actually showed anger? Why, just because Su Mucheng was sent on stage?
Chen Guo didn't think it was because of this reason. Tao Xuan's meaningful expression after Su Mucheng's appearance was probably the key to Ye Xiu's anger. Chen Guo was still pondering when she saw Ye Xiu get up and walk to the Jiashi player's seat in front of Tao Xuan in the blink of an eye.
Tao Xuan remained seated, not moving, slightly raising his head to look at this former captain of the Jiashi team, once a friend he had met in the online game. At that time, everyone addressed each other as brothers and sisters, and in the game, they could be considered as having gone through life and death together. Then, he funded and built this team, and the brother was brought in to be the captain. Gradually, the brotherly address disappeared. Today, the two sides had become opponents.
"What do you mean?" Ye Xiu had already put away his anger, looking at Tao Xuan, as calm as ever.
"I hope she can have a good performance." Tao Xuan said with a smile, answering a question with something unrelated.
"I see." Ye Xiu seemed to have gotten the answer he wanted, and turned back to his seat.
Chen Guo wanted to ask, but… she didn't dare. Ye Xiu no longer showed anger as before, but his face was a little gloomy. This was also an expression that Chen Guo had never seen on his face.
"Calm down." At this moment, Wei Chen said suddenly.
"Mm." Ye Xiu nodded, without complaining, without questioning, just nodding. This showed that at this time, he was indeed very uncalm.
Ye Xiu uncalm?
Chen Guo felt that something big must have happened, but what was it? Chen Guo looked at Wei Chen, she knew that Wei Chen should have noticed something. She used her eyes to tell Wei Chen, either die, or come over and explain.
"Cough…" Wei Chen was attacked by her gaze, coughed, and leaned over.
"Do you know why Su Mucheng will be the last to play?" Wei Chen said.
As expected, it was related to Su Mucheng… Chen Guo thought to herself, but was there any special reason for this appearance?
"Jiashi is suspicious of Su Mucheng, but it is not good to express this publicly, after all, Su Mucheng is very popular, look at the reaction at the scene," Wei Chen said.
Yes, the scene was already full of cheers. Shen Jian's embarrassing performance just now didn't erase the enthusiasm of the Jiashi fans for Su Mucheng. Just her appearance had already set off a small climax at the scene.
"So, she was sent to the fifth spot," Wei Chen said.
"Why?" Chen Guo didn't understand at all.
"Firstly, this is an explanation to the fans. Judging from Jiashi's order of the individual competition, their established plan is for three people to end the battle, so the chance of Su Mucheng, who is ranked last, appearing is very small in their view. But at least she also appeared in the lineup, which shows that they have no suspicion. As for putting her at the end, it can be explained as ensuring against unforeseen circumstances, which is completely plausible," Wei Chen said.
"Mm." Chen Guo nodded, indicating that she understood.
"But once it comes to the current situation, what will happen if Su Mucheng has to play? She bears the entire individual competition of Jiashi, and every move will be magnified under such high attention. If she really has the intention of throwing the game, I mean if!!!" Wei Chen saw Chen Guo's expression change when he said "throw the game" and quickly emphasized, "Then under this situation, once it is seen, the result will probably be... complete ruin."
"Damn!" Chen Guo was immediately angry, and her murderous gaze was fiercely cast towards Jiashi, but unfortunately no one was looking this way at this time.
"This is just if, of course, I believe in Su Mucheng's professional ethics just like you, but in such a sensitive game, even if she doesn't throw the game, but just normally loses the game, I am afraid it will cause suspicion. In a game like this, if you go into it with preconceived notions and pick out details, some operations that are not in place can be said to be throwing the game... So, this game, for Su Mucheng, can only be won, not lost. As long as she loses, it will have many adverse effects on her." Wei Chen finally explained everything clearly, and after speaking, he was fully prepared to prevent their豪迈 *haomai* (bold and unconstrained) boss lady from directly overturning the table and killing people.
What he didn't expect was that after he explained everything clearly, Chen Guo didn't have the overreaction he had imagined. She looked at Su Mucheng's back as she walked onto the stage, and the expression she revealed was all sadness.
A match that Su Mucheng probably didn't want to win at all, but it was a match that she had to win. What kind of contradictory mood would she be in at this time?
Chen Guo didn't know if Su Mucheng had noticed Jiashi's intentions. After listening to Wei Chen, she felt that this reasoning didn't seem complicated, it was quite simple. But even so, Ye Xiu and Wei Chen were able to realize it, thanks to Tao Xuan's blatant expression, otherwise, these two, no matter how shameless they were, might not have thought of so much.
In this way, Su Mucheng, who is in the Jiashi camp, may be clearly aware of this despicable thought. What will she do, what actions will she take to resist?
Directly hit gg and withdraw from the game and leave? To face Jiashi's coercion in this most desperate way? Although Chen Guo would feel very happy doing so, in terms of the result, she was most worried that Su Mucheng would do so. Because the consequences of doing so, as Wei Chen said, would be ruined. No matter what the reason, a professional player would not be allowed to be so unprofessional. Jiashi had calculated this point and dared to hold Su Mucheng hostage to compete.
At this time, Chen Guo didn't bother to express her anger to Tao Xuan. And she also understood why Ye Xiu could so quickly put away his anger. Because the person everyone cares about is facing such a difficult situation, everyone is worried about her, who still has the attention to give even one ten-thousandth of their mood to Tao Xuan.
What will she do?
Seeing Su Mucheng walk into the competition seat, and then, the character loading began, Chen Guo's heart was in her throat.
Afterwards, the match officially began, both characters were loaded into the map, and Chen Guo stared at Su Mucheng's character, Mu Yu Cheng Feng, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
At least, Su Mucheng didn't hit gg right away.
Both characters moved, Sun Zheping's Zai Shui Yi Xia still went straight to the center of the map, but Su Mucheng's Mu Yu Cheng Feng adopted a tactical movement, and soon arrived at a "great sniping position" in Li Yibo's words.
The Gunner, who has the longest range of the 24 professions, uses the terrain to hide in it, and constantly consumes and skirmishes with the opponent from a long distance. It is a very common tactic, especially when facing Sun Zheping, a full-attack type player, this kind of skirmish can well wear down the opponent's mood and operation. Su Mucheng should launch an attack in as concealed a way as possible.
Li Guidance was analyzing like this, but as a result, all the audience saw Su Mucheng's Mu Yu Cheng Feng standing tall on the wall with her head held high, carrying a heavy cannon on her shoulder, without any concealment. In the state of completely exposing herself at the highest point, she fired a cannon at Zai Shui Yi Xia, who had just entered her attack range.
Li Yibo's mouth was wide open. As a veteran of many battles, he really couldn't round up his words this time. Because Su Mucheng's slap in the face was too fast. He had just finished speaking about concealment, and she stood out directly to fire the cannon in a heroic manner. This posture was more like shouting "Fire at me!" than taking the initiative to attack the opponent.
Chen Guo, who had not given up listening to the commentary, immediately felt a thud in her heart when she saw Su Mucheng's performance and the commentary's analysis were so different.
Su Mucheng didn't do anything extreme like hitting gg directly, but was she preparing for a豪迈 *haomai* (bold and unconstrained) throw of the game to slap Jiashi in the face?
The roar of artillery instantly covered Chen Guo's mood. The powerful suppression of heavy firepower made even an arrogant person like Sun Zheping unable to charge forward directly in such a situation.
In the pursuit of artillery fire, Zai Shui Yi Xia flashed behind a wall and was planning the next route. A huge impact came from behind. Zai Shui Yi Xia and the wall were overturned together by Mu Yu Cheng Feng's surging firepower.
"Is Jiashi going to have another head-on confrontation with Sun Zheping this time?" The three from the Weicao team in the audience seats saw the advantages and disadvantages from a professional perspective.
