Fantasy Westward Journey: Return to 2005

Chapter 1416 The top eight are born, and the heroes gather to decide the victory in Gusu!
Fang Yun collected his thoughts, sat down in front of the computer and continued to watch the competitions of other groups.

Although he said he was watching the game, in fact Fang Yun spent most of his time slacking off and playing with his phone.

Because of the existence of the group round-robin tournament, in fact, except for very few teams.

Whether other teams can advance to the offline competition can actually be seen in the first four rounds.

Just like last year, Fang Yun didn’t care who advanced and who didn’t.

If there was a choice, he would hope that all the strongest teams could advance and that there would be no accidents.

At this point in his life, winning or losing the game is no longer the most important thing.

Because his own system is deeply bound to Fantasy, if he had to choose the person in this world who least wants Fantasy to die.

He Fangyun is definitely the one who is far ahead.

If you don't want to die in a dream, in addition to being a planner, you must also be a human being.

The excitement and eye-catchingness of various large-scale events are also particularly important.

This is also one of the reasons why he asked the Qiancheng and Shiyi families to mobilize together this year.

Since other teams find it difficult to shake the Qiancheng family's position during this period, in order to ensure ratings, he has to take action himself.

In this way, he slacked off and watched the game while chatting and talking nonsense with Sujiu and others.

Time passed by unknowingly.

Four p.m.

As time reached the system's time limit, all teams on the field were forcibly kicked out by the system regardless of whether they had finished playing or not.

After the final battle was forced to end by the system, everyone knew that the list of the top eight had been determined!
Everyone in the club who watched the entire game knew very well who would advance to the quarterfinals, so after the game.

Fang Yun stood up and clapped his hands. When everyone's eyes were focused on him, he said, "Well, the first half of this All-Star Game has officially ended. Our two teams lived up to everyone's expectations and successfully advanced to the offline finals as the number one and number two seeds!"

At this point, seeing that the atmosphere was getting excited, he immediately continued, "Compared to last year, the time between this group stage and the offline stage is longer, so those who have things to do can leave first, and those who don't can stay. We'll have dinner tonight for everyone to relax!"

Hearing this, Shouye immediately shouted, "Are you going to go? It's only 4pm, we have to get excited!"

When he shouted, others immediately spoke up.

"Drink, drink, drink. If not now, when?"

"What are you saying? Who can have any business at this moment? No one is allowed to leave. I'm still waiting to get Lao Fang drunk tonight!"

"I have nothing to do for the next week, so it's okay to drink a little..."

"I wanted to go back and do some group stage data, but...what the hell, let's have fun first!"

"A bunch of drunkards!"

Although the group stage process in these two days was not very intense, it was still a busy two days after all.

In addition, there is a new team, 2008, this year, so after the group stage, everyone actually wants to relax.

So after Fang Yun spoke, no one in the entire e-sports hall wanted to leave. They all stayed in the club until the evening, and then took a car to the hotel that Fang Yun had booked early in the morning.

……

The next day, noon.

Feeling the dazzling sunlight coming directly in from outside the stadium, Fang Yun, who was sleeping soundly on the bed like a dead pig, moved his eyelashes and slowly opened his eyes.

"Fuck! My head hurts..."

After opening his eyes and feeling the dull pain in his head, Fang Yun slowly stood up and rubbed his head vigorously. Only then did he feel much more awake.

As he expected, last night's dinner ended with everyone taking turns to force him to drink, eventually making him pass out.

This has become a routine.

After all, he hardly drinks alcohol on weekdays. Even if he drinks occasionally, it's just a bottle of beer to quench his thirst.

So for Shouye and the others, this kind of group dinner is their only chance to "educate" Fang Yun.

Although in fact, each drinking session ended with Fang Yun staggering and the others falling down.

He sat on the bed for a long time, until he felt his head was relieved, then he got up and went into the bathroom to take a shower.

20 minutes later, he came out of the bathroom feeling completely alive, then he put on his pajamas and went downstairs.

"Are you awake, Master? I made you some hangover soup. Drink it first. Lunch will be ready soon!"

As soon as he went downstairs, Fang Yun looked up and saw that his little apprentice Li Sitong was still busy in the kitchen as expected. While working, he even took the time to greet him.

"What time did you get back last night?"

Looking at Li Sitong who was busy in the kitchen, Fang Yun first drank a sip of soup to moisten his throat before asking.

"It seems... around three o'clock? You guys should not drink like this in the future. It's too harmful to your health."

Li Sitong responded without turning her head and did not forget to give Fang Yun some instructions, looking like a young wife.

"Sister, is that what I want to drink?"

Listening to Li Sitong's instructions, Fang Yun felt helpless and couldn't help but complain in his heart.

Li Sitong worked quickly and in no time she had prepared several dishes that Fang Yun liked.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Li Sitong went back to her room to continue reading and reviewing during her free time during the week, while Fang Yun went to the study on the second floor and sat down in front of her computer.

Overnight, the third All-Star group match that concluded yesterday has been dominating major fantasy-related forums.

Fortunately, Fang Yun had seen this kind of scene twice before, so he was not very interested. He held the mouse and quickly entered the official website of Fantasy Westward Journey.

As soon as he entered the official website, he looked up and saw a news headline in bold and red immediately caught his eye!
《The top eight are born! The Fantasy Westward Journey Martial God Arena Star Tournament begins the guessing carnival! 》

Although he already had an idea of ​​the top eight teams, he still clicked on the news out of habit after seeing the headline.

"Swords fought across the sky with golden aura, and flags flew in the sun with colorful clouds.

The 2009 Martial God Arena All-Star Championship has issued a call for heroes to gather together in Gusu City, the ancient capital of eight dynasties, to determine the winner of the Martial God Arena!

The Martial God Arena All-Star Championship is not only a glorious stage for top players, but also a carnival celebration for all fantasy players.

The Martial God Arena Tournament Guessing Event Carnival has begun, inviting players to share the 10 billion prize pool and witness the glory! 」

"It is indeed Gusu..."

Entering the post and looking at the opening at the top, Fang Yun lowered his chin and began to ponder.

The host city of this All-Star offline game was finally settled in Gusu City, which he actually knew a long time ago.

To be honest, Fang Yun was not familiar with Gusu City. He had only been there once in his previous life, and left in a hurry after staying there for only two days.

But he still has a good impression of Suzhou City, which has a rich historical heritage and strong cultural atmosphere, and is very suitable for tourism and settlement.

He had already made up his mind that if he hadn't had the chance in his previous life, then forget it.

Since he has the opportunity to go to Gusu to play in the competition this time, he must take this opportunity to have a good time and make up for the regrets of his previous life.

As for why he knew the news that this year's All-Star offline game would be held in Gusu so long ahead of others?
The reason is actually very simple.

As early as when he confirmed his participation in this year's All-Star Game, his exclusive customer service representative Xiaoqing called him and told him the news.

Obviously, in the eyes of Xiaoqing and even the entire official, it is impossible for Bianliang City, which has the Qiancheng Family, to fail to enter the offline competition.

In this case, why not tell him some inside information in advance, which can not only bring the two sides closer together, but also will not affect the interests of others?

So for Fang Yun, the city where the offline competition was held was not surprising at all, but the "guessing carnival" was a bit interesting.

He guessed that this guessing carnival should be the same one that the official had held in the previous life, but it was just held earlier now.

In order to confirm his guess, he did not rush to read the previous content, but quickly scrolled to the bottom of the webpage to read the specific rules of this wonderful carnival.

"Carnival guessing, 10 billion prize pool witnesses the glory!

为鼓励更多的玩家参与到年度武神坛明星赛的狂欢中来，2010年1月1日12:00，武神坛赛事竞猜活动狂欢开启！
As long as all players participate in the event, they will have the opportunity to share a prize pool of hundreds of billions of Fantasy Coins!
【Guessing Rules】

3. During the New Year's Day period, a certain number of free guessing opportunities will be provided in the gameplay.

4. During the event, the percentage of support will be displayed on the interface. For example: XX% of people predict that Team A will win the championship.

【Activity Award】

1. At the end of the game, the number of bets guessed correctly will be counted: the reward for a single bet = the total prize pool / the total number of bets guessed correctly in the server. If the reward for a single bet is ≥ 50 Fantasy Coins, then 50 Fantasy Coins will be counted.

2. When players click to receive rewards, they will receive 1 reward item for each correct guess..."

"It really is."

As Fang Yun finished reading the detailed rules of this "guessing carnival", he couldn't help but curl his lips, feeling somewhat bored.

Just as he expected, this "guessing carnival" that was treated as breaking news by the authorities and specially released in the news of the announcement of the All-Star quarterfinals was almost no different from the one that Fang Yun had participated in in his previous life.

Oh no, there are some differences.

At the very least, since the time is not right, Wangyi has not yet allowed players to forward operations such as XX circle X blog.

However, although this newly launched All-Star event is nothing new to him, it is for the majority of ordinary players.

The launch of the Guessing Carnival has undoubtedly deepened the participation of the majority of fantasy players in this All-Star Game!

Although the All-Star Game was held in full swing in the past, apart from the players and the lucky ones who drew tickets to watch the offline games, no one was allowed to watch it.

For most fantasy players, All-Stars is just a more exciting version of the Martial God Arena.

And now, with the launch of the official guessing game, everyone finally has a new interactive way to play besides watching the game.

What's more, the reward of hundreds of billions of fantasy coins is still very attractive to ordinary players. You only need to pay some physical strength and a little money, and if you are lucky, you can turn a bicycle into a motorcycle. Why not do it?

The only thing the authorities need to worry about is the invincible performance of Bianliang City in the previous two sessions.

As long as the players in this session have their heads straight, they will probably go all-in on the Bianliang City team without a second thought!
But looking at it from another angle, if everyone just goes all-in on Bianliang City without thinking, once Bianliang City really wins the championship again.

So after the prize is announced, doesn’t it mean that everyone will get a prize, but the reward won’t be that generous?

Seeing this, Fang Yun suddenly felt that his merit value would increase wildly.

Without giving it any further thought, and confirming that this guessing carnival was similar to the one in his previous life, he scrolled back to the top of the webpage and began to browse it carefully from top to bottom.

"The top eight are born, and the heroes gather to decide the victory of Gusu!

After two days of fierce battles on December 2009 and 12, 30, the top eight servers for the "Fantasy Westward Journey" Martial God Arena Star Tournament were finally produced!

They are: Bianliang City, 2008, Deyang Confucian Temple, Gusu City, Wangfujing, Zhuzifang, Mingxiu Garden and Forbidden City.

The countdown to the 2009 "Fantasy Westward Journey" Martial God Arena All-Star Championship Finals has begun.

2010年1月9日-1月10日，八强战队将受邀前往风景如画的历史名城姑苏市，参与年度武神坛明星赛总决赛。

In this glorious trial, who will be able to defeat the other heroes and take the lead? Let us wait and see! ..."

"This list... is beyond expectation."

After carefully reading the official list of the top eight All-Star players, Fang Yun nodded slightly, his eyes calm.

Even if the official results were not announced, without Fang Yun's intervention, major fantasy forums would have already thoroughly investigated the performance of each team in the group stage, and it had become a consensus as to who would advance to the quarterfinals.

In this case, as long as the official does not cheat, who will enter the quarterfinals is a foregone conclusion, and today's announcement is just a formality.

Not to mention the two teams Bianliang City and 2008, their performance in the entire group stage was outstanding.

For them, entering the offline competition was, in the words of the audience, a piece of cake.

In addition to these two teams, the four powerful teams that emerged in 09, "Deyang Confucian Temple", "Gusu City", "Zhu Zifang" and "Mingxiu Garden", were all present this year and all advanced to the offline competition!
This made fans of the four major clubs very excited.

According to normal historical development, the four major families during this period should have been at their peak.

But unfortunately, a stupid guy like Fang Yun suddenly appeared, and 2008 came from behind to take the lead, which resulted in the glory of the four major families being overshadowed.

But even so, the four giants still have many fans, and now they gather together for offline competitions, which has fulfilled the dreams of many fans.

Among them, the reactions of Gusu City fans were particularly excited.

After learning that this year's All-Star Game would be held in Suzhou, fans in Suzhou were so happy!

Our own team is playing at home, so let's not talk about the home advantage, okay?
What's more, the Gusu City team also performed very well in the group matches in the previous two days.

Gusu City, led by Xilang, eventually led the team to five consecutive victories in the group stage, with a total time of only 4 minutes more than Deyang Confucian Temple.

Such a magnificent record and performance, coupled with a huge home advantage.

Gusu City fans just want to ask one question at this moment, who else? !

Of course, as to whether the Gusu City team can finally win the championship by defeating countless heroes with the huge home advantage as the fans wish, it may depend on when they meet Bianliang City, or 2008...
