Fantasy Westward Journey: Return to 2005

Chapter 1444: Stop making trouble, Brother Cheng is looking at the panel!
"Um... Brother Cheng, can I trouble you with one more thing later?"

After entering the room, Xiaoqing first glanced at everyone's faces, and then she spoke to Fang Yun in an apologetic tone.

"how?"

Seeing that the other party looked a little embarrassed, Fang Yun frowned slightly and asked.

"In half an hour, the draw ceremony for the top four will begin."

Seeing Fang Yun frowning, Xiao Qing felt a little helpless, but still explained: "But you also know that only one person needs to come on stage for the draw of the top four. After our internal discussion, we think you are the most suitable candidate..."

In fact, drawing lots does not necessarily require the contestants to come on stage. The official can just let their own staff do it instead.

But unfortunately, most viewers have a natural distrust of the word "official", and always think that they will operate behind the scenes.

In addition, the contestants themselves have a star aura, so it is reasonable and logical to let the contestants personally go on stage to draw lots, which is the best solution at the moment.

But the problem is that the other contestants are easy to communicate with but their cards are not strong enough, and Qian Cheng, the only one with strong cards, is a thorn in the side.

So after much deliberation, the official side could only send Xiaoqing, an employee who had a good relationship with Qiancheng, to do the ideological work.

"Fuck, there is such a good thing?"

When they learned that Xiaoqing came to invite Fang Yun to be the only guest to draw lots for the top four, the people around him were filled with envy and jealousy.

As Xiaoqing said, there are only four teams left in today's competition.

Therefore, the drawing process has become very simple. Only one contestant needs to come on stage to draw lots to complete the grouping.

But precisely because the process has become simpler, the guest who comes on stage to draw lots will attract more attention.

Just imagine, under the collective gaze of hundreds or thousands of audiences, the guest goes on stage alone to draw lots. The attention will definitely be overwhelming!

"You look so excited, how about you come?"

Looking at Beast Master, whose face almost had the word "envy" written on it, Fang Yun curled his lips in boredom and said casually.

Hearing this, Xiaoqing's expression changed slightly.

The leader asked her to invite Qiancheng, so in the end she invited Shouye too.

Although Shouye is also a star player in Bianliang City, his significance is completely different.

But before she could say anything, Shouye waved his hand and said in a bored tone, "Forget it. At least 60 to 70 percent of the audience here are here for you. I would be asking for trouble if I go up there. I have to bear this in mind."

"Tsk, you are useless!"

Seeing that Shouye took the initiative to back out, Fang Yun knew that whether he was willing or not, he had to go up and make a guest appearance as this guest.

Thinking of this, he didn't hesitate and said to Xiaoqing directly: "Okay, when you are ready to go on stage later, just call me."

"Thank you, Cheng-ge!"

Seeing Fang Yun agreed, Xiao Qing's expression suddenly brightened up. After saying goodbye to everyone in the room, she immediately ran out in a hurry. I guess she was going to find her leader to report the situation and make the final preparations at the same time.

After Xiaoqing left, Fang Yun sighed, lay down on the sofa, closed his eyes and waited to go on stage.

To be honest, although he is a lazy dog, he would not refuse to go on stage as a guest draw guest under normal circumstances.

Again, he is highly integrated with the game Fantasy.

Theoretically speaking, as long as it is beneficial to the development of the game, he will basically not sabotage it.

Therefore, there is absolutely no need for the authorities to be so cautious and make it seem as if he is so difficult to deal with.

Lying on the sofa, Fang Yun chatted with everyone in the room while quietly waiting for the drawing ceremony to begin.

Half an hour later, Xiaoqing was about to appear outside the door of their lounge. When she saw Fang Yun coming out, she immediately led him to the backstage.

At this time yesterday, the backstage was already packed with contestants, but today it seemed empty. Apart from the Wangyi staff, he was the only contestant around, making him particularly eye-catching.

But Fang Yun didn't feel lonely at all, because after he came to the backstage, he was immediately surrounded by several staff members, who asked him for autographs and took photos with him, making him seem like a real big star.

After a while, when he patiently signed his name and took photos, the time finally came to 9:30 in the morning.

As soon as the time came, a staff member standing at the stage entrance immediately waved at Fang Yunmeng.

Fang Yun, who received the signal, quickly tidied his clothes, held his head high and walked onto the stage through the employee passage!
"Brother Cheng, Brother Cheng is here!"

"You are sensible, you know who the brothers want to see."

"It looks like Brother Cheng is the guest for the draw for the top four this time, right?"

"Of course. Apart from him, who else among the top four has a better reputation than him?"

"Draw 2008, draw 2008, I want to see Mars collide with the Earth!"

"Fuck the earth! I want to see the mad demon Abai kill his old boss!"

"Forget it! Don't let the old boss not be killed by you in the end, but be beaten again instead. That would be too ridiculous..."

As soon as Fang Yun came on stage, the audience who had been waiting for a long time suddenly became excited, shouting Qian Cheng's name loudly, which made the official staff backstage smile.

They knew that asking Qiancheng to come on stage to draw lots was definitely the right choice.

After coming on stage, Fang Yun waved and greeted the audience as usual. Then, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a tall and graceful girl wearing a fox beauty cosplay costume, holding a small lottery box, walking towards him.

When the fox beauty stood beside him, Fang Yun subconsciously glanced at her figure, and eight words flashed through his mind instantly -

Be humble and tolerant, and you will be great!
I have to say that Wangyi understands men.

Although this fox beauty girl in front of me is also a cosplayer, she is a top choice in terms of both figure and appearance. She is completely incomparable to the group of cosplayers who were popular yesterday.

Fang Yun was a little surprised because he didn't expect this to happen during today's draw. He was stunned for a second.

But in that second of stunned silence, it suddenly caused quite a commotion in the audience.

"Oh my god! I remember that the character of Fox Beauty didn't have a nanny. What's wrong with this girl?"

"That's too much, Wangyi. How can you destroy the image of the character in the minds of the majority of players like this? It's simply... well done!"

"No...why do I feel like Brother Cheng is bewitched by this vixen?"

"Nonsense, such a big vixen can hook three generations of my family into black bass, and Brother Cheng is no exception."

"Impossible, absolutely impossible! Everyone in Bianliang City knows Cheng Ge's hobby. He only likes to meet men head-on!"

"That's right, stop talking nonsense, Brother Cheng is obviously looking at the panel!"

"But I have to say, this girl looks really real. It makes me want to see the face plate..."

"You want to see the panel? Just go and fuck Brother Cheng. If you win, the girl will be yours, but you have to belong to Brother Cheng!"

Fang Yun was stunned for a moment after seeing the fox beauty, although it was only for a moment.

But the audience below the stage just wanted to watch the fun and didn't mind the trouble. They whistled and booed, making Fang Yun look very upset.

Damn it, my old friend is sincere and I will explode if I look at him for one more second!

The fox beauty on the side seemed to be enjoying it as well. She looked at Fang Yun with a smile on her face the whole time, giving Fang Yun the illusion that he would be captured by her affectionate gaze at any moment.

"Ahem... draw lots, draw lots!"

I realized that if this continued, the atmosphere in the venue would be out of control.

Fang Yun coughed lightly, forcibly interrupting the rhythm of the group of people having fun below the stage. When the girl approached, he stretched out his right hand and quickly grabbed the lottery box in front of her chest, and a small ball was taken out by him.

He took out the ball and glanced at it quickly. When he saw the server name displayed on the ball, he was stunned again.

When he subconsciously turned the small ball with the server name written on it towards the audience, the entire venue fell into silence for a moment, and then immediately exploded!

"Wow, you're really just going to follow the script, right?"

"Ghost, it's Gusu City again! If I were a player from Gusu City, I would probably cry out loud right now."

"Oh my god, can't you spare our Gusu City? You can't always catch a sheep and pull it!"

"Hahahaha! That's good now. The top four from Bianliang City will play against Gusu City. Then the other group will be 2008 playing against Zhuzifang, right?"

"As expected of Brother Cheng, the draw results are always so 'exciting'."

"I now highly suspect that all the balls in the box have Gusu City written on them. It's too much of a script!"

Looking at the small ball in Fang Yun's hand with the three big words "Gusu City" written on it, the audience was stunned.

Bianliang City plays against Gusu City, and then 2008 plays against Zhuzifang. This is the top four matchup that many viewers want to see the most.

But it is one thing for the audience to be willing to watch it, but it is another thing if you actually win the prize.

At this point, many viewers came to their senses and began to suspect that the draw for the semi-finals and even yesterday's draw for the quarter-finals were scripted.

Otherwise, how was it possible that after two days of fighting, the two most popular teams, Bianliang City and 2008, never met each other?

On the contrary, the two rivals, 2008 and Zhu Zifang, successfully met in the semi-finals when everyone expected it most today.

With so many coincidences, it’s no wonder that people would have so many associations.

Seeing that the audience had some doubts about the result of the draw, Fang Yun wanted to explain that there was really no script. After all, even he, the guest drawer, was decided at the last minute.

But when the words came to his lips, he suddenly swallowed them back.

There is definitely no script, but the question is how can he say it so that everyone will believe it?
On the contrary, the fox beauty girl next to her still looked calm and confident.

After Fang Yun finished drawing lots, she did not leave immediately. Instead, she suddenly turned the lottery box in her hand over and poured out the other two small balls in the box.

After pouring out the balls, she first bent her legs and gently placed the lottery box on the ground. Then she stood up and showed the written side of the two balls in her hand to the audience.

When I saw the words '2008' written on the ball in the opponent's left hand and 'Zhu Zi Fang' marked on the ball in his right hand.

The audience who were questioning the script the moment before shut up instantly, and were replaced by a burst of amazement!
"Oh my god, this girl is so tough?"

"It's not the girls who are tough, it's the officials who are tough!"

"Yes, the authorities should have anticipated that this situation might occur in today's draw, so they made preparations in advance."

"So, Brother Cheng's winning of Gusu City was really a choice of fate?"

"What else? Actually, to put it bluntly, Gusu City meeting Bianliang City in the semi-finals is already the best outcome."

"How to say?"

"I saw this on the forum this morning. Xilang and his friends seem to have a pretty good relationship with Brother Cheng. With the level of Gusu City this year, the semi-finals are already the limit. In this case, losing to our own people is better than losing to outsiders, right?"

"Well... now it seems that this is indeed the case..."

The fox beauty's strong self-affirmation really slapped many people in the face, but most people didn't care.

After all, what they questioned was official fraud. Now that the other party has proven it themselves, they can accept being slapped in the face.

Even, if possible.

They also hope that this kind of slap in the face will happen more often, after all, it means that the possibility of behind-the-scenes manipulation is reduced to a minimum.

At this time, Fang Yun on the stage was also surprised. He didn't expect that the authorities would make such a big move.

The key is that it was a success, it really is something.

As for the foxy beauty who was helping him prove himself, she had now retracted her sharp edge and resumed her elegant and charming demeanor.

Soon, after Fang Yun and the fox beauty completed the drawing ceremony and proved themselves.

Ah Zi, wearing a burgundy dress, stepped onto the stage at the right time and invited the representatives of the other three teams who were waiting in the audience to come on stage and started the pre-match ban selection session.

The banning and picking process was very smooth, especially for Bianliang City and Gusu City. It felt like they didn't take the banning and picking seriously at all, and they finished the banning in the blink of an eye.

Although 2008 and Zhu Zifang took a lot of time, the final ban results were not too surprising to everyone.

Zhu Zifang banned the Demon King and Lion Camel from 2008. After all, it is well known how powerful these two are. If they were to appear at the same time, it would be a devastating blow to Zhu Zifang!

As for 2008, they were much more casual about banning and picking Zhu Zifang, and directly chose Datang and Huasheng to highlight the tradition.

After the top four contestants completed the ban and selection phase, A Zi immediately sent them off the stage and immediately began to control the situation before the game.

Fang Yun breathed a sigh of relief after stepping down from the stage. He ignored the attempts of the fox beauty girl who stepped down with him to keep him, and quickly changed his contact information before returning to the lounge.

Now that the draw and ban phase for the semi-finals have ended, they, Bianliang City, have met Gusu City again. It must be said that fate is always so wonderful.

He didn't even dare to imagine the expressions of Xilang and the others in the Gusu City lounge at this moment. It must have been very exciting.

The only thing he can do is to wait until the All-Star Game is over and then comfort the other party's broken heart.

However, objectively speaking, with the completion of the grouping of the top four, the showdown between Bianliang City and Gusu City will most likely become an alternative option.

After all, there are too many highlights in the other group's match, two top teams with undefeated records, plus it's a grudge match.

It can be said that anyone who likes to watch gossip will not miss the match between 2008 and Zhu Zifang, including players like Fang Yun.

"Master Cheng, your fortune is really amazing. It really goes as you say. Whoever you say you will pick will come true!"

Just after returning to the lounge, Fang Yun was about to ask everyone to gather to discuss the lineup for the semi-finals, but he saw Shouye walk up and pat his shoulder with a sly smile on his face.

Not only the audience, but also the contestants themselves, all really want to see Abai fight against Zhu Zifang.

Now that Fang Yun's divine fortune had successfully brought about this showdown between the old rivals, Shouye and the others were naturally very satisfied.

"Stop talking nonsense and quickly formulate a lineup and tactics. Xilang and his men are not to be trifled with. Be careful of a setback!"

Listening to Shouye's teasing, Fang Yun was too lazy to talk nonsense with him and immediately organized everyone to formulate a tactical lineup.

Since they had already fought with Gusu City before, Fang Yun did not plan to play again in this round. He planned to leave the entire stage to Sujiu and the others to perform to their heart's content.

After formulating the tactical lineup, he went straight to the computer to watch the 2008 matchup with Zhu Zifang.
