Fantasy Westward Journey: Return to 2005

Chapter 1437 The third round is opened, encountering the 'Son of Luck'!
"that……"

Seeing the audience so enthusiastic, Fang Yun knew that it would be difficult to extricate himself if he didn't say a few words, so he could only clear his throat and said: "First of all, thank you very much for your love. As for whether we can make it to the semi-finals, we will know after the last round."

His speech was fairly balanced, but the audience refused to buy it.

"Pretend, keep pretending!"

"If Bianliang City is not stable, can't the other teams just go home?"

"You guys really don't understand this Old Six or what? This is all rhetoric, do you understand rhetoric?"

"That's right! With so many people watching, we can't just let Brother Cheng say that we will definitely win the third round. That would be too offensive."

"Come on, before the game started, when he said he would wait for you in the finals, why wasn't he afraid of offending people? Now he's being low-key, he must be afraid that someone will throw bottles at him later!"

"Hahaha, it turns out that Qian Cheng, who dominates the Martial God Arena, also has a day when he gets scared. Brother Pingzi is so awesome!"

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that this Bianliang City was still almost invincible.

Unless they meet 2008 in the third round, there might still be some suspense, otherwise if other teams meet them, it will basically be a waste of food.

So when Fang Yun modestly said that they had to wait until the third round to know whether it was stable or not, no one in the audience believed him at all.

Not only did they not believe it, many people also started to make fun of it on the spot, completely ignoring Fang Yun's increasingly speechless expression on the stage.

They are really not afraid, because Qiancheng has been in the industry for so long, and his character is well-known in the fantasy world.

Unless you touch his sore spot, no matter you are a passerby or a rookie, you can talk nonsense to him without any burden. Maybe this guy will even take the initiative to respond to the joke, which highlights the reality.

Seeing that the atmosphere in the venue had finally become lively and returned to normal after Fang Yun's few words, A Zi, who was standing next to Fang Yun, breathed a sigh of relief.

This is what she admires most about Fang Yun. Although he is extremely strong, his personality is too real.

In other words, this is a man with great charisma.

However, considering that other teams are still competing at this time, in order not to interfere too much with these players.

After Fang Yun chatted with the audience for a few more words, A Zi stepped forward at the right time to say that the contestant could leave the stage, thus saving Fang Yun from the scorching gazes.

"Ghost, did you see the looks of those girls in the audience? They look like they are ready to eat us alive at any moment!"

After stepping off the stage, everyone walked towards the lounge while listening to Shouye teasing Fang Yun.

"Well... I advise you to say less."

Listening to Shouye's teasing, Huang He did not respond, but instead gave a reminder in a low voice.

Hearing Huang He's reminder, Shouye glanced and when he saw Liu Ximeng's seemingly calm expression beside him, he immediately fell silent.

Oops, I forgot that the romantic debts within Cheng Ye’s own team have not yet been repaid.

Fang Yun, who was walking in front, listened to the conversation between the two without any intention of responding. He was thinking about how the conflict would develop next.

Although the conflict at the scene ended quickly, the Ming family was not actually beaten.

But the famous scene where they were hit by bottles from the audience and then got so angry that they stood up on the stage and cursed at the audience was real.

The spectators at the scene were stopped by security guards, and most of them knew the seriousness of the situation, so they did not let the situation escalate further.

But it’s different on the Internet. Once the video spreads on major forums, the Ming family is likely to experience a round of cyber violence!
It’s true that Fang Yun doesn’t like meditation, but after all, this guy is also a victim.

He was pinned to the ground and beaten by Bianliang City during the game, and he had to pack up and leave before he could even make it to the quarterfinals.

As a result, after the game, he was insulted by the audience with bottles thrown at him, and after returning home, he had to endure another round of cyber violence.

Even Fang Yun felt a little sympathetic towards him for a moment.

However, considering the evil that this guy will do in the future.

If he really can't stand this round of online violence and quits Fantasy early, in a way, netizens can be considered to have done him a good deed.

Of course, Fang Yun knew how shameless this guy was.

Even if he was hit with bottles and cyberbullied, he probably wouldn't just quit the game.

After all, Fantasy Westward Journey is now thriving, and it’s a great opportunity to make money. We must kneel down to receive this huge fortune!
And just as he expected, the confrontation between Bianliang City and Deyang Confucian Temple ended.

After some audience members at the scene posted the video of the conflict they had just recorded online with an exaggerated description, the Ming family of Deyang Confucian Temple became an instant hit as expected!

"Damn! Is the scene so naked?"

"Oh my goodness! Whose general is this? How could he be so brave?"

"Forgive my insincere smile, but throwing the bottle is not bad, and the key is that it is so accurate, awesome!"

"Deyang played really badly in this game. If I were there, I would probably be unable to resist criticizing them."

"Here is the key! They didn't let anyone rant even though they were beaten badly. It's because they were protected by the security guards. Otherwise, they would definitely be beaten to death with sticks just based on their unrestrained rants!"

"No... Let's be reasonable. Ren Deyang doesn't owe you anything, right? If you beat him up, it's over. What's the big deal about throwing away a bottle?"

"If you have the ability to meditate, then go to the toilet and talk!"

Since no one has ever seen such an exciting scene before, the key is still the competition scene.

As a result, once the video of the conflict was uploaded, it instantly became popular throughout the fantasy world.

Even other gaming forums were affected, with netizens turning into spectators and engaging in heated discussions.

And Meditation finally lived up to everyone's expectations and became very popular.

In time, I'm afraid I'll be recognized when I walk on the street.

Hey, isn’t this the guy who got hit by a bottle during the game?
Even Fang Yun couldn't help but feel a little nervous when he thought of this scene.

At the same time, netizens were having a heated discussion about the fact that the Ming family played so badly in the game and had bottles thrown at them.

Fang Yun and his companions have returned to the lounge in Bianliang City. They sat on the sofas, watching the game as needed and resting as needed.

Strictly speaking, this farce was caused by their city of Bianliang, but the subsequent developments had little to do with them.

Fang Yun and his group were not very interested in the future fate of the Ming family. They just wanted to know who their next opponent would be.

At this time, the only games on the field that were over were the 2008 games with Mingxiuyuan, Bianliang City and Deyang Confucian Temple.

The other four groups' matches were still in full swing, seemingly without any interference from the outside world.

In fact, it would be useless even if they knew that the outside world was in chaos.

Now is the second round of the quarter-finals round-robin, which is a tough match for both the winning team and the losing team in the first round.

The victory or defeat of this round is extremely important and they cannot afford to make any mistakes, let alone be distracted.

"This Wangfujing... seems to have something interesting?"

After watching for a while, Liu Siyu, who was sitting side by side with Fang Yun, suddenly frowned slightly and began to comment.

The game scene in front of them at this moment was Wangfujing versus Forbidden City.

As two teams that entered the All-Star Game through player voting this year and reached the knockout stage in completely opposite ways.

Before the start of this group, everyone generally favored the Forbidden City.

After all, Forbidden City made it to the offline competition with real efforts, while Wangfujing just got in by luck.

Both teams lost in the first round of the round-robin tournament, with Forbidden City losing to Zhuzifang and Wangfujing losing to Mingxiuyuan.

The Forbidden City lost to Zhu Zifang very quickly and was taken away after less than 40 rounds.

On the contrary, Wangfujing, facing Mingxiuyuan led by the hot-tempered Waipi, fought for almost an hour before the winner was finally decided.

But losing is losing. Even though Wangfujing performed very well in the first round, people still don’t think highly of them.

But I never thought that this is the team that was mocked by many players as the "Sons of Luck".

In this round of confrontation with the Forbidden City, they suddenly exploded with their full power, and from the very beginning, they suppressed the Forbidden City!
Although the Forbidden City has been trying hard to fight back and try to regain the rhythm, Wangfujing has never given it a chance.

The two teams were in a stalemate for nearly half an hour, until the Forbidden City finally showed a flaw under the high pressure. Wangfujing, finding the opportunity, immediately opened fire with a wave of violent AOE, and finally sent the Forbidden City team away!
Looking at the game that ended suddenly, Liu Siyu, Huang He and others couldn't help but scratch their heads.

"Is this... considered a fight between noobs?"

After thinking about it, Huang He turned to Fang Yun and asked.

Hearing this, Fang Yun thought for a moment and shook his head slightly, "Not really. The Forbidden City has done everything it can, but the fact is that Wangfujing has a better rhythm and better hardware. It will be a very exciting match."

"I'll just say it!"

After hearing what he said, Huang He and others nodded immediately.

They are all veterans of the Martial God Arena and can analyze whether a team is strong or not through the game.

Although I don't want to admit it, the state shown by Wangfujing in this game is indeed very different from the past.

It is obvious that this team is hiding their strength. They are actually very strong, but they have not exposed it yet.

Of course, this is also related to their good luck in the online group stage, and they advanced without any effort.

It’s a pity considering that they had many chances to turn the tables against Mingxiuyuan in the first round but failed in the end.

As for the Forbidden City, it lost to Zhuzifang in the first round and to Wangfujing in this round.

They were basically certain that they were out, and like the Deyang Confucian Temple, they could prepare to pack up and go home.

After finally using all their strength to enter the offline competition, they ended up suffering two consecutive defeats at the beginning.

The key point is that they lost to Wangfujing, the team they despised the most, so you can imagine how upset the Forbidden City players must be at this moment.

But that's how the game works, there are winners and losers.

What's more, based on Fang Yun's memory, he knew very well that the current Forbidden City was far from its peak.

In the future, they will shine again on the Martial God Arena and reach new peaks!
Without thinking any more, I saw that the third set of duels had ended and the last set of duels had also come to an end.

Fang Yun stood up and took a bottle of water from the refrigerator. As he twisted the lid, he said, "It's almost time. I estimate that in ten minutes, we will go on stage to draw lots for the final round of the group stage."

At this point, he took a big gulp of water, then looked away and asked everyone in the room, "I won't participate in this round of the lottery. Who of you wants to go?"

Hearing this, Shouye and the others looked at each other, and finally their eyes all focused on Sujiu.

"...Okay, I'll go."

Being stared at by everyone, Sujiu, who never liked to be in the spotlight, wanted to refuse, but in the end he couldn't bear it and nodded helplessly and agreed to the deal.

The drawing of lots was finalized so quickly, and Fang Yun and his group stayed in the lounge for a while.

Soon, as they expected, ten minutes had just passed, almost at the same time as the last group finished their duel and bowed off the stage.

Xiaoqing received a notification through the headset that the contestants were ready to go on stage, and went backstage to wait with some wine.

"What do you think? If Sujiu draws Ah Bai and the others directly, will the scene explode?"

While waiting for the Sujiu lottery, the somewhat bored Shouye began to daydream, and asked Fang Yun and the others while thinking.

"Better not."

Hearing his words, Huang He on the side immediately shook his head, "If that happens, I don't know if the scene will explode or not. The official mentality will definitely explode. They definitely don't want this kind of situation to happen."

"If you don't want this to happen, then why do you have to draw lots? Wouldn't it be better to just match them directly? It would be easier to manipulate, too?"

After hearing Huang He's analysis, Li Sitong, who was chatting with her mother on the phone, suddenly looked up and asked with some confusion.

"Of course we can match them directly, but that would be less gimmicky!"

Spreading his hands, Liu Siyu continued, "Besides, I don't believe that the authorities didn't have any backup plans. As for what will happen, we will know later."

A few people were chatting when they saw the door of the lounge was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and then Sujiu walked in with a calm face.

"So what, who did you pick this time? Is it 2008?!"

As soon as Sujiu entered the room, everyone immediately surrounded him and asked questions impatiently.

Hearing this, Sujiu was stunned for a moment, looked at Shouye who asked the question as if he were an idiot, and then said to Fang Yun: "It's Wangfujing."

"what?"

"Wangfujing? This..."

"This is really a case of Speak of the devil and he will appear."

"What a fate! I just watched their game and now I have to play against them next?"

When everyone in the room learned that Bianliang City’s opponent in the third round was the Wangfujing team they had just watched, they were a little surprised.

Even Shouye selectively forgot Sujiu's contemptuous look and joined the discussion.

Whether Wangfujing is strong or not, those who have just watched them compete against the Forbidden City can say that they know it very well.

To put it bluntly, this is a typical strong team with many hidden cards and varied playing styles.

The most crucial thing is that the team’s strength was hardly exposed in the online group stage, and they lost slowly and won quickly in the first two rounds.

So much so that even now we have reached the third round of the round-robin tournament, everyone's understanding of them is still very limited.

Of course, Fang Yun is definitely not included in this.

"Okay, now that we have confirmed that we will be playing against Wangfujing in the third round, let's get into shape as soon as possible and prepare the lineup for the third round."

After clapping his hands to attract everyone's attention, Fang Yun spoke a few words, then sat down and began to discuss the lineup for the third round.
