Xie Mingzhe sent a message to Tang Muzhou, his tone was obviously flattering: "Hey, hey, I didn't expect you to be so smart, and you actually deduced it from my words. Did Master tell you?"
Tang Muzhou said angrily, "Yes, Uncle Fatty and Junior Brother!"
Xie Mingzhe: "..."
It's a little weird to be called by him like that, Xie Mingzhe can only say seriously: "First of all, if you can't beat someone when you meet in the future, I didn't mean to lie to you, and I didn't expect Lin Shen to accept me as an apprentice."
Tang Muzhou was silent for a moment, awkwardly accepting the fact that he had an extra junior brother, and his tone became calmer: "I wanted to accept you as my apprentice, but you rejected me because you didn't want to join the Fenghua Club. Good luck to you. Follow him and study hard, don't let him down."
Xie Mingzhe became serious: "Don't worry, I will definitely study hard."
He paused for a while, then couldn't help but ask curiously: "With a fat uncle as a junior brother, does Tang Shen feel disgusted in his heart?"
Tang Muzhou was amused by him, and said warmly, "No. Since I mentioned that I wanted to accept you as my apprentice, I admire your talent very much. Athletics is not a world that looks at your face, but your strength. No matter what you look like, as long as you can Prove yourself on the field and you'll be recognized."
Xie Mingzhe was just joking, he didn't expect Tang Muzhou's words to be quite philosophical. After this period of contact, he could feel that Tang Muzhou was a very generous person. He promoted instant-death cards to change the status quo of the league and increase the variability of tactics. Tang Muzhou had a more long-term vision than many young players. He really likes the game and has been working hard for what he loves.
Such a master is worthy of respect.
Xie Mingzhe felt that he was indeed very lucky. He recognized Chen Qianlin as his master, and had senior brother Tang Muzhou, as well as teammate Chen Xiao and Chi Qing, Yingying, Fatty, and Jin Yue, four partners who devoted themselves to managing the guild.
He will definitely speed up his pace and strive to reach the height of Tang Muzhou one day.
Tang Muzhou followed and asked: "I can tell you how to crack your deck. But I think it's better to tell you directly than to experience it yourself. In the dark card mode of the expert rank, your deck is not easy to play, and soon you will I understand."
Xie Mingzhe said: "Well, I'll go to the actual combat myself." It's boring to get something for nothing, and he wants to summarize it by himself.
After finishing the conversation with Tang Muzhou, Xie Mingzhe found out that Chi Qing had sent him a private chat: "Xiao Xie, that Ke Xiaoke said that he is your fan, he just joined the guild, his specific strength and background are yet to be investigated, I will share a few. I personally ask him to take him to the arena, and if he performs well, he will be given a job in a few days, and he will be in charge of the competition.”
Xie Mingzhe remembered the clever young man who liked ghost cards, and said: "Young sister Qing can handle the affairs of the guild, but the management of such high-level authority as the vice president should not be easily promoted. There are many examples of the big guild being dissolved by undercover agents. This guy keeps saying he's my fan, but he can't believe it all."
Chi Qing said: "Don't worry, I will keep an eye on it."
***
That night, Xie Mingzhe didn't go to the arena anymore, but went back to his personal space to look at the video of the previous game and summed up his experience from the perspective of God. Tang Muzhou said that there are four ways to crack his deck. He studied it carefully and probably came up with several.
The open card mode of this deck is particularly powerful, but the dark card mode is actually easy to target and is not perfect.
Most players in the low-level segment are fast-paced, and rarely encounter the slow-paced and late-stage soil-based and water-based decks. But he believes that he will soon meet at the expert level of Star Cards, where the general level has improved.
The next thing he has to do is go to the arena to be abused a few times, look at the advantages of other decks, and then analyze his own shortcomings.
Xie Mingzhe summed up the gains of the whole day and went offline on time at twelve o'clock.
Chen Xiao was sitting on the reclining chair thoughtfully. When Xie Mingzhe went upstairs, he met Chen Xiao's dazed gaze. Both of them were stunned. Chen Xiao quickly adjusted his expression and asked with a smile, "How is the battle today?"
Xie Mingzhe said: "It's very tiring to beat a junior expert in 30 consecutive victories."
Chen Xiao gave a thumbs up: "It's not rare to be able to win 30 games in a row and go straight to the experts. You have such a talent, and if you practice for a while, you will definitely get good results when you go to the Masters."
Xie Mingzhe asked curiously, "Brother Chen, if you fight now, you won't only win 30 games in a row, right?"
Chen Xiao said: "You can't compare with me. I played with my brother for a long time, and I was a professional player for a short time." He paused for two seconds, and suddenly changed the subject: "By the way, Xiao Xie, help Am I busy?"
Xie Mingzhe wondered: "What are you busy with?"
Chen Xiao felt a little embarrassed when he touched his nose. After a while, he coughed lightly and said in a low voice, "It's my brother's birthday in three days. I want to give him a good birthday celebration, but because between us brothers, uh... Misunderstanding, if I go alone, he may not be too happy... "
Xie Mingzhe had already guessed what Brother Chen was going to say, and sure enough, the next moment Chen Xiao looked at Xie Mingzhe with a sincere look: "My brother likes your little apprentice very much, so I want you to accompany me, take some time, we Celebrate his birthday together, and persuade him to come back and live while he is happy."
He persuaded him alone, fearing that Chen Qianlin would be disgusted. After all, he hugged his brother, kissed, kissed and confessed after being drunk, but it was different when Xiao Xie came forward. Very neat and tidy, I hope my brother can move in here.
Xie Mingzhe said cheerfully: "No problem. I should have gone to Master's birthday, but I don't know what he likes? I want to give him a good gift."
Chen Xiao smiled, with a hint of tenderness in his eyes: "He, he is not interested in anything else, but only likes all kinds of plants. In the past, on his birthday every year, I would save pocket money to buy plants for him. In fact, there is a flower stand in this room. of succulents, and a few pots were bought for him for his birthday."
Xie Mingzhe didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "He loves plants so much? Are you still giving plants this year?"
Chen Xiao thought for a while and said, "I'm ready. Since you've studied art, why don't you give him a painting, which will be more memorable."
Xie Mingzhe thought it was very reasonable, so he nodded: "Well, then I will look back and think about what to paint!"
When he returned to the bedroom, he pondered this matter, what to paint? It's a bit strange to draw a tree as a birthday present, and the peony is too gorgeous. Master's character should prefer more elegant flowers.
By the way, a four-piece set of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum!
This is the favorite of the literati and writers in the past. Many people will hang a set of plum orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum in the study, which is called the "Four Gentlemen" in the flower. , Bamboo is a handsome and modest gentleman, and chrysanthemum symbolizes the hermit outside the world.
Does it feel more in line with Master's characteristics
Thinking of the idea, Xie Mingzhe drove out with Chen Xiao early the next morning. Chen Xiao first went to the botanical garden to get the bonsai he had ordered earlier, a small pine tree with a unique curved trunk shape, and the green pine needles radiated under the light. Soft sheen.
This pot actually costs 100,000 crystal coins.
Xie Mingzhe was a little puzzled, are pine trees so expensive? In the earth era, this kind of bonsai with a height of about one meter cost only a few hundred yuan, and some better varieties cost several thousand yuan, and 100,000 yuan is too exaggerated.
Presumably a rare breed, hard to find.
Not to mention the different cultures in this world, the varieties of plants and animals are also different from those of the earth. Are there plums, orchids, bamboos, and chrysanthemums in this world? Xie Mingzhe thought of this, and immediately took out his light brain to search for information on the Internet. Sure enough, there are many varieties. There are more than a dozen kinds of light orchids. However, there is no "four gentlemen" in the combination of these four plants. It seems that The relevant culture is lost.
He suddenly had a thought in his mind - isn't Brother Chen going to do a plant card next month? Can you make a set of plant linkages of the four gentlemen, or give these four plants new skills according to the characteristics of the four gentlemen
I will discuss it with Brother Chen when Chen Xiao makes a plant card in the future.
Xie Mingzhe was afraid that he would be too busy to forget, so he simply opened a memo in his light brain, wrote down the "event reminder", and then followed Brother Chen to the calligraphy and painting center to buy a stack of paper for painting and a complete set of brushes and paints.
He has been studying art since he was a child. Of course, he has all these things, but unfortunately they are all the cheapest ones, and the paint has a pungent smell. Now that you have money in your hands, of course you need to use good materials, and your paintings will be more beautiful than before.
To make cards in the game only needs to use mental power. For someone like him with art foundation, drawing cards is very simple, but in reality, drawing is a bit difficult. The fingers are not as dexterous as the original owner. If you drop several sheets of paper, you have to practice hard.
Fortunately, he has a clear and complete memory, plus the memory of his limbs, and the feeling will slowly come back after an hour of practice.
Chi Qing and others were a little shocked when they saw that he suddenly painted flowers and plants. The fat man asked directly: "Xiao Xie, are you going to change your career to make a plant card?"
Xie Mingzhe explained: "It will be more sincere to draw a birthday present by yourself."
Everyone was very curious, so Chen Xiao pulled a few people into the living room, briefly explained Chen Qianlin's acceptance of Xiao Xie as his apprentice, and greeted everyone in advance, saying that Chen Qianlin would move in together in a while.
Everyone's faces were shocked. They didn't expect that Chen Xiao's brother was actually the famous Chen Qianlin...
Seeing Fatty's stunned appearance, Chen Xiao couldn't help laughing and crying: "What? Do you think my brother died?"
Fatty hehe scratched his head: "After all, your sad look seems like your brother has already... Bah Bah, I'm not talking nonsense, Lin Shen is still fine, Lin Shen will join our team, I can't believe it!"
Chi Yingying was also very excited: "I can't believe that the master Chen brother is looking for is actually him. I used to be his diehard fan."
Chi Qing said calmly, "Can he get used to living with so many of us?"
Chen Xiao raised the corners of his lips slightly and said, "My brother is actually quite easy-going and has no pretence at all. He is very easy to get along with. You don't need to be under pressure. He came to live in the master bedroom on the second floor. He prefers to be quiet, and we are usually upstairs. Just don't disturb him at the next event."
Everyone nodded in understanding.
Upstairs, Xie Mingzhe was still concentrating on drawing. He first made a few sketches and started writing when he was satisfied.
As a result, after drawing for an afternoon, only 80% of an orchid drawing was completed. In reality, drawing is really difficult. It is much more difficult than using mental power in the game. He was drawing lines and his fingers were about to cramp. He thought that he would be Master in two days. On his birthday, Xie Mingzhe had to bite the bullet and continue painting.
The next day, Xie Mingzhe didn't log in to the game and was busy preparing gifts. Fortunately, after the feeling of painting came back, he became more and more proficient in painting. By the early morning, he had completed all four pictures of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum.
Chen Xiao looked at him seriously, and felt very emotional. This guy is not only smart, but also very grateful. Unlike some people, who say that the brothers are good is actually a white-eyed wolf. Xie Mingzhe is the kind of person who will repay tenfold in his heart as long as you treat him well. He has a very simple mind.
Chen Xiao walked up to Xie Mingzhe, patted him on the shoulder lightly and said, "Your paintings are very beautiful, my brother will definitely like them. But why did you paint four pictures?"
Xie Mingzhe scratched his head and smiled: "Four pieces are just a set! Going to frame tomorrow morning, is it too late?"
Chen Xiao said: "It's totally in time, I'll take you there in the morning."
***
The next morning, Chen Xiao and Xie Mingzhe came to the painting and calligraphy building together, and found a shop specializing in framed calligraphy and painting to match the four paintings with a simple and elegant border of sandalwood color. The four paintings side by side immediately became taller, even Xie Mingzhe felt good. .
Although the painter is still a little immature, this is the best level he can play at present.
Chen Xiao's gift was also very attentive. It is said that this ornamental pine tree is quite precious and especially difficult to find. He bought it from the gardener of the botanical garden at a high price.
With gifts, the two excitedly ran to Chen Qianlin.
At the same time, Chen Qianlin's door was knocked.
Chen Qianlin saw the smiling face of the other party on the screen, and opened the door in surprise: "Why are you here?"
The person who came was Tang Muzhou, with a delicate gift box in his hand, his voice was low and gentle: "Master's birthday, of course I have to come on such an important day." He handed the gift box to Chen Qianlin, "A gift for Master."
Chen Qianlin's heart was slightly warm, he took the gift box, looked at the tall and handsome young man in front of him and said, "I didn't expect you to remember my birthday, I almost forgot it myself."
Tang Muzhou smiled and said, "I wrote a key memo for Master's birthday. I wanted to come here last year, but I just had a game scheduled and couldn't leave. Fortunately, there is no game this year, so I asked the club for leave."
Chen Qianlin took him to the living room to sit down, instructed the robot to pour the water, turned and sat on the sofa beside him, and asked, "Didn't you participate in the individual competition?"
Tang Muzhou said solemnly: "I just won the championship last season, and it is not good to always go to grab the trophy with the newcomer."
Chen Qianlin smiled softly: "Why do you sound like an old senior?"
Tang Muzhou said, "My apprentices have already won the rookie award, so I can be considered a veteran of the league."
The master and the apprentice looked at each other and felt very emotional. Five years have passed by so quickly. Chen Qianlin already has apprentices and grandchildren, and he is still the apprentice and grandson who has won the Best Newcomer Award. He was a little curious: "Is Shen An busy with the game?"
Tang Muzhou said: "The little guy is very active and wants to go to the individual competition to win a trophy. However, I guess it is very high. There are many masters participating this season. Although the old masters have not signed up, among the younger generation, Ye Zhu and Shan Lan are very strong. Strong, but I still encourage Xiao Anduo to practice, he is still too young."
Chen Qianlin didn't know what to say.
This apprentice was brought out by him. After five years of precipitation, today's Tang Muzhou is no longer the sharp young man who won 50 consecutive games in the individual competition. He is more restrained, more stable, and more calm.
He is the chief poker player of the Fenghua Club. He has revitalized the entire wood-type deck by himself. He has also made every effort to promote the circulation of instant-dead cards. Such an apprentice is enough to make Chen Qianlin proud.
The handsome young man is more handsome than he remembers after his appearance has grown. If it weren't for the familiar smile between his brows and eyes, Chen Qianlin would not have dared to recognize him.
Five years is enough to make a person reborn.
And today's Tang Muzhou is completely worthy of the title "Tang God".
Chen Qianlin was sighing when he heard Tang Muzhou smile and say, "About Uncle Fat, my new junior brother, isn't Master going to introduce him?"
At this moment, the doorbell rang suddenly, and Chen Xiao's face was enlarged on the screen, and he said, "Brother, it's me and Xiao Xie."
Chen Qianlin smiled slightly and looked back at Tang Muzhou: "It seems that I don't need to introduce you, your junior brother is here today."
"Oh?" Tang Muzhou raised his eyebrows slightly, stood up from the sofa, and went to open the door himself.
As soon as the door opened, Chen Xiao saw the man in front of him, obviously startled: "Why are you here?"
Tang Muzhou smiled and stretched out his hand: "Long time no see."
Chen Xiao shook hands with him with a complicated expression: "It's been a long time since I saw you."
Xie Mingzhe stuck his head out from behind Chen Xiao with some doubts, just in time to meet the eyes of a strange man.
The man in front of him was very young, with a height of more than 1.85 meters, with sharp eyebrows and quite handsome features. The man was wearing a casual suit, and a light-colored suit was difficult for ordinary people to hold up, but when he wore it, it blended perfectly with his elegant temperament.
He has a smile on his face, and the corners of his lips are raised slightly, but it doesn't make people feel frivolous. Instead, he looks like a gentle and kind prince. With a deep and magnetic voice, he is simply the perfect first love for many girls.
However, when he met Xie Mingzhe's bright eyes, the smile on the man's face suddenly froze, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, obviously his heart was extremely shocked. He looked at Xie Mingzhe and asked in a low voice, "You are Master's new apprentice... Uncle Fat?"
Xie Mingzhe was stunned: "You call him Master? Are you... Tang Shen?"
Tang Muzhou: "..."
Xie Mingzhe: "..."
This is embarrassing!
Fat uncle is not fat, nor is he an uncle, but a handsome 18-year-old boy.
