Master of Trading Star Card Game

After the four of them returned to the Nirvana Club, Xie Mingzhe looked nonchalant, Chen Xiao finally couldn't help laughing and scolding: "You really know how to act, and you're still pretending to be looking for fat uncle in the crowd?"

Xie Mingzhe gave an irrefutable reason: "There are too many people, I am afraid of being beaten."

Among the top 32 contestants who went to get the registration certificate today, the most famous one is "Uncle Fat". Several of them are fans of Uncle Fat. Boys who have reached the age of 18 will definitely be disillusioned, and they may do something impulsive in a fit of anger.

Xie Mingzhe changed the subject and said, "Brother Chen, aren't you afraid of losing your vest? It is said that some of the top 32 are reserve players from major clubs. Maybe someone knows you?"

Chen Xiao said in a vicissitudes of life: "Me? It's just a little transparent who has been out of style for a long time. Surely no one knows it."

Xie Mingzhe comforted: "It doesn't matter. When you return to the alliance, you will no longer be a little transparent. You will definitely surprise everyone who has despised you and laughed at you. Especially that Shao Bo, he will probably be so angry that he vomits blood."

Chen Xiao smiled faintly, found a cigarette, lit it, and took a few puffs. The man's handsome face was hidden in the smoke, and his expression could not be seen clearly. He said in a low and hoarse voice: "I used to think about In the future, if I can return to the league one day, I will definitely win the championship and make that Shao regret what he did to me and my brother... But now, I don't care what Shao thinks."

Chen Xiao turned around, looked at Xie Mingzhe seriously, and said, "It's really meaningless to play games with a mentality of revenge. I want to win games and win prizes, not for my enemies, but for myself and you guys." teammate."

Hearing what he said, Xie Mingzhe couldn't help feeling warm in his heart. He patted him on the shoulder with a smile, and said, "Brother Chen, I admire you for being so open-minded! You are right, those villains, we don't need to Comparing with him, treat him like a floating cloud in the sky, we will definitely get better and better in the future, and Shao Bo will definitely get worse and worse, so if you think about it, why waste time talking about him, right?”

Chen Xiao smiled: "That's the reason. So I'm not afraid of blowing up my vest. Anyway, we have to show our faces in the offline games of the quarterfinals. Players with deep alliance qualifications will recognize me at a glance. Sooner or later."

Just at this time, Chen Qianlin came out of the coach's office. Chen Xiao heard familiar footsteps, immediately put out the cigarette butt and threw it into the trash can next to him, and sat upright on the sofa, pretending that he had never smoked.Xie Mingzhe was also quite speechless - what a bunch of dramatists!

Sure enough, the next moment Chen Qianlin came over from the corner. Seeing Chen Xiao and Xie Mingzhe sitting on the sofa chatting, he stepped forward and said, "The group list for the top 32 stage has come out. Xiaoxie is in Group A, Chen Xiao is in Group B. Group, Yu Ke and Qin Xuan are in Group F and Group G respectively. What are your plans? Do you want to try your best to win the prize, or play casually?"

Both of them have obtained the registration qualifications of professional players, and their ranking in the Masters stage is not very important to them.But Xie Mingzhe still said seriously: "Let's try our best to win an award. If we can win an award, the Nirvana Club will have more face!"

Chen Xiao nodded in agreement: "That's right, anyway, Xiaoxie and I have rich enough decks, just don't use mainstream decks, and don't be afraid to expose the tactics in advance, we will do our best in the final round."

Xie Mingzhe looked forward to it: "It would be best if Brother Chen and I could join forces in the finals. In this way, our Nirvana team can win the championship and the runner-up. If Xiao Ke works harder, we can win the third place and take back all the trophies from the Masters." , not only a large bonus, but also a kind of publicity for our Nirvana."

Chen Qianlin said calmly: "Your idea is too beautiful, but it will be very difficult to realize."

He turned on the optical brain, called up the detailed information of the two players, and introduced: "I watched the battle for the top [-] in the rematch stage, and the strongest one was Zhou Xingchen from the Temple of the Gods, whose ID was Xingguang. His style should have been brought out by Ling Jingtang himself. The cold weapon crit style of play is very decisive and fierce; the other is Ye Binbin from the Dark Night Capital Club, whose ID is Bin Bin, he has original ability Talented players use the curse deck."

These news were all found by Chen Qianlin. As the coach of Nirvana, he has not been idle during this time. He will watch every game carefully and give a score to the contestants. Among them, Zhou Xingchen and Ye Binbin are him. Considered the strongest player.

Seeing his brother's serious expression, Chen Xiao put away his smile, and asked seriously, "These two should be the seed players of the Temple of Gods and the Dark Night Training Camp, right? Why didn't they even make it to the top 32 in the Masters last year?"

"It's a coincidence that one made a mistake due to illness, and the other abstained due to family problems." Chen Qianlin said, "There are also four reserve players, and their strength is not bad, but they are slightly inferior to these two."

"Let me look at the detailed grouping." Xie Mingzhe opened the grouping information on the official website, glanced at it, and said: "Zhou Xingchen is in Group E, and Ye Binbin is in Group F. From the perspective of the schedule, the top two in each group will enter the top [-]. , and then A to H, B to G, we have never met!"

"Yes, you won't meet in the quarter-finals or quarter-finals. If you do, it will probably be in the semi-finals." Chen Qianlin said, "These two have been training with the master, so don't underestimate them. If you want to win an award, prepare well.”

Xie Mingzhe and Chen Xiao looked at each other, and they both saw confidence and fighting spirit in each other's eyes.

The Masters Tournament is not a heavyweight competition, it is just the only way to the league, but since they have already embarked on this road, they want to take every step well.

If you have the strength to win an award, why not fight for it?

No matter who the champion is—it cannot be passed on to others anyway, it must be won by Nirvana players!

Night City Club.

When Ye Zhu saw the newcomer who was going to get the registration certificate come back, he took off his helmet, ran over quickly, and asked eagerly, "Binbin, did you see Uncle Fat today?"

Ye Binbin is the most talented among the newcomers in the Dark Night Capital. He makes special cards called "Curse Cards". All the cards in his deck have various negative spell states, aiming to curse the opponent to death. , quite special.

Pei Jingshan signed him in advance to train because of his talent.He was only a few months younger than Ye Zhu, but Ye Zhu called him "Little Binbin" every day, and the two of them had a very good relationship, and they talked about everything.

Knowing that Ye Zhu is Fat Uncle's black fan, Ye Binbin paid special attention to Fat Uncle today, but he didn't see anyone who fit the ID image of "Fat Uncle" in the crowd.Facing Ye Zhu's expectant gaze, he could only smile awkwardly, and said, "I didn't find out who Uncle Fatty is. I have carefully observed each of the contestants who went to receive their qualification certificates today. They are all young people, so they didn't exceed 25 years old."

Ye Zhu was taken aback, then scratched his hair in doubt: "Could it be that fat uncle is a young man?"

Hearing this, Pei Jingshan came over and said, "Xiao Zhu, I think you have been misled by subjective thinking. Uncle Fat is just his ID in the game. In reality, he may not be Uncle Fat. On the contrary, I think he is very Probably a young and tall teenager."

Ye Zhu: "..."

Seeing that his face was getting distorted, Pei Jingshan put his arms around his shoulders and comforted him: "Don't be angry, I know that you actually respect Fatty Uncle, and you have always regarded Fatty Uncle as a senior, knowing that he is a young man. Difficult to accept……"

"Who, who respects him!" Ye Zhu interrupted him angrily, "I'm obviously his number one black fan!"

Pei Jingshan had a half-smile but not a smile: "Oh, black fans—do you naturally have fans if you're so black?"

Ye Zhu: "..."

Glaring at Pei Jingshan vigorously, Ye Zhu walked away with his head down, looking as sick as an eggplant beaten by Shuang, obviously he had suffered quite a blow.

Ye Binbin chased after him to comfort him, but was stopped by Pei Jingshan.Pei Jingshan glanced at the boy's stiff back, and said, "Don't worry about him, Xiaozhu's anger comes and goes quickly, just go back and sleep. It's the photo I asked you to take, did you get it?"

Ye Binbin immediately turned on the optical computer and pulled out a photo, saying: "Today, there were a lot of people and it was very chaotic. I only found the opportunity when the meeting was over. I took a short video of the scene. Team Pei, please take a look."

This video only lasted half a minute. More than 30 people walked out of the conference room. The scene was very lively. Among them, a tall and burly boy shouted loudly: "Uncle Fat, who is Uncle Fat? Can you meet me?!"

Then, everyone looked around curiously, as if looking for Fatty in the crowd.

What surprised Pei Jingshan was that he actually saw a very familiar face in the crowd——

The man is tall and handsome. Among a group of seventeen or eighteen-year-old boys, the man in his twenties appears to be much more mature and stable. He is wearing slim trousers and a light gray shirt today, and looks very energetic after cutting his hair short. With his hands in the pockets of his trousers, he leaned lazily against the wall, with a playful smile on his face, and his eyes swept across the crowd, as if he was watching a good show.

Facing the man's faint gaze from the video, Pei Jingshan's pupils shrank slightly, and said, "...is it Chen Xiao?"

Ye Binbin looked blank: "Captain Pei, who is Chen Xiao?"

It is normal for a player who debuted late and has never heard of Chen Xiao, because Chen Xiao only played dozens of individual matches in the fifth season, and he kept losing all the time, with a very low sense of presence.

However, Pei Jingshan was very impressed with this player.

At that time, Pei Jingshan was still in college, and his friend Tang Muzhou was going to compete in the league, so he had been paying attention to Tang Muzhou's game. Once, Tang Muzhou and Chen Xiao met on the field. In that game, Chen Xiao was defeated 0:2, and Tang Muzhou completely abused him. After the end, he shook hands with Tang Muzhou calmly, and when he turned to leave the arena, his back was straightened.

Pei Jingshan had dinner with Tang Muzhou that night and asked, "Chen Xiao is your master's younger brother, right? I didn't expect his level to be so poor. I saw a lot of negative comments about him on the Internet, saying that he is embarrassing Lin Shen."

A trace of complicated emotions flashed in Tang Muzhou's eyes, and he said in a low voice: "You are wrong to think so, I studied with Master with him, his strength is not inferior to mine at all, and usually PK has its own winners and losers, just because For some specific reason, he wants to leave the league as soon as possible."

Pei Jingshan was very confused: "So, you mean that he deliberately lost to you today?"

"That's right." Tang Muzhou said calmly, "Only a very high-level master can lose to the opponent quietly, but the audience can't even notice it. In fact, he has prepared every time I use a skill." Judgment, every time he is a few tenths of a second slower than me, it seems that he was defeated by me because he didn't react as well as me, but in fact it was because he knew me too well."

"...So that's how it is." Pei Jingshan suddenly realized.

"You know this and I know it." Tang Muzhou reminded.

"Don't worry, I won't say it outside." Pei Jingshan paused, "But if he did this, is he blatantly violating the alliance rules? Isn't he afraid of being discovered by the alliance?"

"He is indeed a negative game. If he is found out, he will be warned by the league and suspended for one month. However, he is very careful. Only I who is on the field will know that he did it on purpose. Others generally can't see it." Tang Muzhou sighed In a calm tone, he said, "He is determined to leave the professional league, and he will not hesitate to destroy himself."

"Is there a problem with Sanctuary's contract?" Pei Jingshan quickly thought of the reason, "If he wants to file a lawsuit, I can help."

"It's useless. Master hired the best lawyer in the industry when he filed a lawsuit, but he still lost in the end. The contract trap in Sanctuary is too big, and it doesn't make sense in court." Tang Muzhou was silent for a moment, and said firmly, "Chen Xiao will definitely come back. I believe he will never give up so easily. He is so talented, it would be a pity to give up."

Thinking of that past, Pei Jingshan couldn't help frowning.

The Tang family and the Pei family are family friends. He and Tang Muzhou grew up together, and they are like brothers. Therefore, he did his best to help Tang Muzhou's master at the beginning, and he knew some inside stories like the back of his hand.Chen Xiao really left the alliance later, but it is said that he did not terminate the contract with Sanctuary, and that stubborn boy disappeared from people's sight since then.

In Pei Jingshan's heart, he only felt sorry for Chen Xiao. He did not hesitate to leave the alliance by destroying himself. It can be seen how determined he was at the beginning. Even if he deliberately lost the game at the risk of being punished by the alliance, he did not want to earn a point for Sanctuary. It's not easy for Qian, a young man who can't get enough money, to push himself to this point.

After Pei Jingshan joined the professional league in the seventh season, he focused on developing the Dark Night Capital Club, so he stopped paying attention to Chen Xiao.

But now, seeing this familiar face, even though his temperament and appearance have changed a lot, Pei Jingshan still recognized him at a glance, after all, the impression was too deep at the beginning!

He simply took a screenshot and sent the photo to Tang Muzhou, and asked bluntly, "Is this Chen Xiao?"

Tang Muzhou replied with one word: "Yes."

Seeing that he was so calm, Pei Jingshan couldn't help but said, "Did you know that Chen Xiao was coming back?"

Tang Muzhou replied: "I know, I also know that his ID is Above the Clouds, and he joined Uncle Fatty's Nirvana team."

Pei Jingshan immediately grasped the key point: "So, you also know Uncle Fat?"

Tang Muzhou sent a meaningful smile: "It's hard to say."

Pei Jingshan raised his eyebrows: "What's hard to say?"

Tang Muzhou: "I said I was afraid you would hit me."

Pei Jingshan: "..."

Tang Muzhou: "For the sake of us being young, if I get beaten up in the future, please send me to the hospital, thank you."

Pei Jingshan smiled: "You're welcome, I will only collect the corpse for you."

Tang Muzhou: "..."

Friends are really unreliable, but the younger brother is the most reliable.Tang Muzhou reminded Xie Mingzhe: "The quarter-final stage is the offline competition, you should vaccinate the fans in advance."

Xie Mingzhe thought it made sense, so he posted a Weibo——

"I successfully received the registration qualification certificate today. Thank you very much for your support and encouragement. I will be an official professional player in the future. I will continue to work hard! However, the quarter-final stage is the offline competition. I hope to see my true face at that time." Don't be too surprised, I believe you all pay attention to me because of my cards and strength, not my face, right?"

Fans saw the news and left messages to comfort him——

"Uncle Fat is right, we like you because of the cards you made, not because of your looks, so you don't have to worry, no matter how fat or ugly you are, no one will take off your fans!" "Hug Uncle Fat, your appearance is given by your parents, you can’t decide for yourself, we won’t turn your fans into black just because you don’t look good!” “Don’t worry, we are not the kind of superficial fans who look at faces, everyone has already done it. Mentally prepared, we love you even if you are a fat man weighing 200 pounds!"

Xie Mingzhe: "..."

When did he say he was ugly?The fans' brains are too crooked, and the crookedness is too serious. Xie Mingzhe can't be narcissistic and say "I'm afraid that I'm too handsome to scare you", so he doesn't care about the fans' comments anymore, and concentrates on the next game .
