In the morning group match, Guqin, Long Whip and Bone Fan genres, since the Mojue team had no players, everyone only watched three live broadcasts, and did not know about the games of other groups.
In group B of the dagger genre, Xiao Han also won the second and third rounds after killing "The Streaming Sound", taking the lead to enter the next round with the first place in the group.
In the group stage of the double-ring style, Liu Hong was assigned to Group D, and like Xiao Han, he won three rounds in one go and entered the next round with a record of victory.
For the jade flute genre, Pei Yu was in Group C. After beating two players in the same group, he regretted losing the last round and entered the next round as the second place in the group. Compared with the unbeaten records of the two great masters, Pei Yu felt a little ashamed after losing a game, but he felt relieved when he thought that he was just a novice, Hongjie and Hanshen were both great masters.
At 11:30, all the group matches in the morning were over, and the officials also announced the players who will enter the next round and the list of duels.
Qin Mo asked everyone to take a lunch break for two hours, and then went back to the training room to watch the game in the afternoon.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the game server was opened again. The first thing to do was the group match of the Black Umbrella Department. The official live broadcast happened to be a match in Group A. Both players were not weak. One of the IDs impressed Qin Mo. Profound—I don’t need an umbrella when it’s raining. This is the master from the second division of China Telecom that I met in the qualifying round. His partner is called "Umbrella in the rain". a group.
In the qualifying match at that time, Shen He was still complaining when he first saw the opponent's ID: "One said that it was raining to use an umbrella, and the other was that it was raining without an umbrella, so should we use an umbrella? These two are just for fun. Is it?"
Facts have proved that the people behind the wonderful ID are extremely powerful. The Mo Jue team was almost defeated by the opposite black umbrella array. Fortunately, Qin Mo broke through at the critical moment and dropped a black umbrella master in the second row of the opponent, cracking them The serial umbrella array, but the thrill of that round of qualifying is still fresh in everyone's memory.
Seeing this familiar ID, Shen He couldn't help but said: "This person really entered the semi-finals! After that qualifying match, I specifically checked the Qingyu gang they belonged to. It is the biggest gang in Dian Er, but it's strange Yes, this gang is a gang that specializes in both PVP and PVE, and there are many girls who love to watch the scenery. Their gang leader is a white umbrella player. He often uses an umbrella to look around in the game and post screenshots on the forum Let everyone choose which place has the best scenery, as if they are here for sightseeing." Shen He looked at Qin Mo puzzled, "Master, it doesn't look like this group of people are going to participate in the league?"
Qin Mo shook his head: "You're thinking wrong. The one who takes pictures and posts on the forum every day is the strongest expert in their guild."
At that time, Zhu Qingyue was not in the team in the qualifying match, but Qin Mo had a strange feeling that the opponent's support was not even inferior to Zhu Qingyue. Although the Black Umbrella formation's style of play looks terrible, without the assistance of the White Umbrella behind them, their formation cannot be formed—that is to say, the key point of this team is actually the support position.
The person who takes photos and posts on the forum every day is also the strongest support player Qin Mo has encountered so far in the qualifying rounds other than Zhu Qingyue.
Hearing this, Xiao Han also said: "I have an impression of that person, he reacts quickly, has a strong view of the overall situation, and every formation is just right. Qingyu's gang is definitely not as simple as Xiaohe found out. There are a lot of leisure parties with umbrellas to enjoy the scenery, but the management is all masters, which shows that they are not trying to build a leisure gang, and may also participate in the professional league next year."
Liu Hong interjected: "Could it be a team under another club?"
"No." Qin Mo denied this speculation and explained, "Most of the gangs under the club focus on playing in the arena and only recruit competitive players. But this Qingyu gang has a lot of people who don't understand the arena at all. For casual players, judging from the development model of their gangs, they should be formed by folk masters."
Xiao Han suddenly thought of something, and turned around and said, "Xiaomo, do you think the team's umbrella formation style in the last qualifying match is a bit similar to the Qingmu team led by Qingyue before? Moreover, the support team is the core team. Simple folk masters can't learn formation tactics, and I don't believe that there is no one to guide them."
"That's right." Qin Mo thought about it carefully, then turned around and asked, "I remember that the assistant of the White Umbrella Department was named 'The Mountain Is Not High'. Qingyue, do you know this person?"
"..." Hearing this ID, Zhu Qingyue was stunned, and his face suddenly turned pale. He squeezed his fingers to calm himself down, and then said softly, "White Umbrella Department did not participate in this martial arts ring, and I also I'm not sure if the person you are talking about is him. The ID of Shanbuzaigao is the same as my senior brother's ID."
"You still have a brother?" Everyone looked back at him in surprise. Zhu Qingyue made his debut earlier than Xiao Han and Qin Mo. They only knew that he was Chu Yan's apprentice, but they didn't know that Chu Yan's apprentice was not only him. It is estimated that even Xiao Han and Qin Mo's masters did not know about this matter, because Zhu Qingyue was the only apprentice of Chu Yan, the captain of the Qingmu team in the Miracle Alliance, who officially debuted.
"Has your senior brother never played a game?" Qin Mo was a little puzzled, "Why is there no such person in the league?"
"Yes. Before the master accepted me, there was another apprentice named Luo Yuan. His ID was 'The mountain is not high'. He was one year older than me. He was going to debut with the master at the time, but his mother was seriously ill. He is a very filial person, so he had no choice but to leave the team and go home to take care of his mother. At that time, Qing Mu used the teleportation formation as the core style of play. He made his debut. And my senior brother only stayed in the training camp for more than a year, but he has never officially played a game, so you all don’t know his existence.”
Zhu Qingyue was only sixteen years old when he played with his master, and there was actually this reason behind it.
It seems that if Luo Yuan hadn't left back then, he should have followed Chu Yan to make his debut, and the little Zhu Qingyue obviously still needs to hone in the training camp for a year. As a result, the eldest apprentice left the team unexpectedly, and the younger apprentice Zhu Qingyue was kicked out of the team by his master. It is no wonder that Zhu Qingyue became a crying bag when he was a child-too young, he was very immature, and he hadn't learned half of his master's skills. Being abused so cruelly by various gods, Xiao Qingyue was under too much pressure and could only cry.
Qin Mo asked, "Same name? The founder of Team Qingyu must be your senior brother, right?"
Zhu Qingyue smiled wryly, and said: "The formation tactics with support as the core was indeed created by my master. The talent of the senior brother is actually higher than mine, but he had to leave the team and never played a game. According to you, If that 'I can't see the height of the mountain' is really that strong, and with the same name, there is a great possibility that he is my senior brother."
Xiao Han helped his forehead helplessly: "There are so many masters on Dubu's side, how come you have a senior brother here too?!"
Liu Xiang, who had been listening all the time, suddenly smiled and said: "This time the public beta has opened up five major areas. Mo Jue's base camp is in the first area of Telecom, and the couple's trumpet has only been to the first area of Netcom as an undercover agent. We don’t know the situation of Dian 3 and Wang 2. It’s normal for masters to appear in these three districts. Frost Moon in Dian 3 and Qingyu in Dian 2 are just the beginning. I have a hunch that there will be more in these three districts. Another strong team appears."
Shen He couldn't help but said: "Sister Xiang, don't be crowed! So many teams are enough for us to have a headache! If there are a few more teams, how will we survive!"
Liu Xiang comforted: "Don't worry, the more teams you have, the stronger you will be, and the more interesting the future games will be."
He Beiguang nodded vigorously: "Sister Xiang is so right, what's so good about cutting rookies every day like auditions, it's more interesting to compete with masters!"
The appearance of the Dian Er Qing Yu team and the Dian San Frost Moon team was unexpected by Xiao Han, but it was also reasonable.
When Xiao Han led the team to Dubu, Liu Chuan once said that many domestic clubs have sent teams to Dubu Jianghu. When Dianyi met the three clubs of Fengse, Huaxia, and Guose Tianxiang, it means that teams from other clubs sent teams to Dubu Jianghu. He went to another region, so Liu Xiang's statement is also very reasonable. As the group arena gradually enters the stage of master duels, the number of exposed teams may increase.
Xiao Han turned his head to look at Qin Mo, meeting his gaze. The two looked at each other and smiled, both seeing full confidence in each other's eyes.
— No matter how many teams there are, there is no need to be afraid, because these powerful opponents can only make Mo Jue stronger.
***
Naturally, the Whispers Gang's "No Umbrella When It Rains" won this game.
Next is Fangcaotang's drug attack game. The live broadcast is the second match of Group C. It happens to have the ID of "Jinling Old Dream", and it is An Ling, a player of Guose Club. As Qin Mo expected, An Ling, who played fiercely, won the game smoothly.
Then there was the iron claw and double-knife group competition. Many masters appeared in it, all from other regions. They had never seen them before, and it was difficult to guess their identities.
It wasn't until 3:30 in the afternoon that it was the turn of the group stage of the Broadsword genre.
He Beiguang received the notification and entered the game room to wait. He was assigned to Group D. The gangs of the other three in this group were Huaxia Dynasty, Shuangyue and Yulou Chunxiao. He Beiguang lost the first game to Dynasty's master. Although he tried his best to fight head-on with the opponent, he still regretted losing in the end. Qin Mo watched the three rounds behind him, and felt that Xiao He was really unlucky. The players in this group are all very strong. The player from Huaxia should be the captain or the main master of the vice-team level. Shuangyue can tell that. Also old players, Yulou Chunxiao and Mo Jue were eliminated in the end, obviously due to lack of experience in the competition.
Seeing He Beiguang's sullen look with his head hanging down, Qin Mo patted him on the shoulder lightly and said, "It's okay, the important thing is to participate."
Pei Yu also comforted: "That's right, we are all rookies, and there are many great masters in the semi-finals."
He Beiguang felt better now, scratching the back of his head and said, "It seems that I'm still not good at singles..."
Liu Xiang said in a soft voice: "Your advantage is not singled out, don't be discouraged, just protect the front row when you are in a team. You are a defensive character, so there is no need to care too much about these."
Sister Xiang is so gentle. While being the team leader, she also has to be a confidant sister to enlighten the team...
Seeing that He Beiguang regained his spirits, Qin Mo felt very relieved. His decision to bring Liu Xiang to the team was really wise.
There is one last trick left in the afternoon game.
Compared to He Beiguang who was unlucky enough to be assigned to Group D in the group stage, Shen He's luck is obviously very good. He is in Group B. The two great summoners of Fengse Club, Qiu Zongping and Yuan Xi, are not in this group. , Moreover, this group did not see that the gang is a master of Huaxia, Shuangyue, Yulou Chunxiao, Jiange, Qingyu and other teams-that is to say, Shen He perfectly avoided the masters of known teams.
Could the other three who made it to the semi-finals be members of other unknown teams? Qin Mo checked their winning percentages with doubts. The winning percentages of the three people in the same group as Shen He were all around 80%, which proved that they lost two out of ten games on average during the audition stage, while the masters of the professional teams all had a winning percentage of 80%. More than 95%, it means that these three people are not professional players, they should be online game masters who have reached the semi-finals by their own strength.
Qin Mo was completely relieved, and said, "Xiaohe, fight well, don't be careless."
Shen He geared up excitedly: "I know Master!"
As a result, the serious Shen He frantically summoned his pets on the field, and his opponent was blinded by it. Shen He won three consecutive games in 15 minutes, and successfully entered the next round of the quarterfinals with the first place in the group.
…
At 4:30 in the afternoon, all the competitions during the day were over, and in the evening, the Hanhua Sword School's long sword and short sword competitions were arranged.
Qin Mo gave everyone a holiday and asked the team members to go to rest and eat first, and then assembled at 7:30 in the evening.
Zhu Qingyue returned to the dormitory alone, sat by the bed and hesitated for a moment, took out his mobile phone, found a friend on WeChat and sent a message: "Brother is there?"
After a while, a line of small words popped up on the screen: "Qingyue? I haven't contacted you for a long time. I heard that the Qingmu team has disbanded. Are you okay?"
"It's okay." Zhu Qingyue paused, and then he clenched his phone tightly and typed, "Did Bu Jianghu's Qingyu Gang in the second district of Telecom, you set up it?"
"How did you know?"
"I saw that the ID of the leader of the Qingyu Gang is called 'The Mountain Can't See the High'. This is the ID you have been using during the training of the team. "
Now that he was recognized by his junior brother, Luo Yuan no longer concealed it, and sent a smile and said, "That's right. I formed this team because of my master's suggestion."
Zhu Qingyue didn't expect that this gang was still related to Master. He was startled, and typed with stiff fingers: "Master suggested? What do you mean?"
Luo Yuan said: "After the open beta of Dubu Jianghu, Master opened a small account to experience the game, and found that this game is very good, and it is likely to create a new era of competitive competition. I just went to Changsha during that time to see you When he was alone, he mentioned this matter to me. I didn’t become an e-sports player back then, and I always regretted it, and the opponent’s speed requirements are not high, so I just took this opportunity to form a team to try. My team There is a pair of twin brothers, which the master discovered in the game, and the master also taught them some ideas of how to play the umbrella formation."
Zhu Qingyue looked at this long passage, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable—Chu Yan hadn't actively contacted him since he retired, but he not only kept in touch with his senior brother, but also saw him often.
Sure enough, Luo Yuan was the apprentice who made Master most proud and most regrettable.
If Luo Yuan hadn't had to leave the Qingmu team because of an accident at home, maybe the Qingmu team wouldn't have ended up disbanded under his hands, right
Is Master blaming him for his incompetence, and that's why he doesn't want to see him
Thinking of this, Zhu Qingyue's eyes suddenly became a little sour. He persisted in the auxiliary team style passed down by his master for several years but failed to achieve good results, but he never thought that this style of play would appear again in the Dubu Jianghu, and the team was led by Chu Yan's most admired disciple...
Zhu Qingyue sat by the bed in a daze until a message popped up on the screen again: "Qingyue, are you also paying attention to the Dubu Jianghu game?"
Zhu Qingyue replied: "I played with the trumpet for a few days."
Luo Yuan said: "Do you want to come to my team? If the two of us join forces, Master will be very happy."
"No." Zhu Qingyue took a deep breath and asked, "Where is Master?"
"He is currently in Beijing, working with the Dubujianghu project team to develop game-related equipment. He should return to Changsha around the Spring Festival. Their company headquarters is in Changsha, do you know?"
"I don't know, he hasn't contacted me for a long time." Zhu Qingyue smiled helplessly, "I dismissed Qing Mu, he might be angry with me."
"How could he be angry with you? He obviously loves you the most."
"I'm going to have dinner first, and the senior brother will talk back." Zhu Qingyue hurriedly ended the topic, put away the phone, took a deep breath to adjust his expression, and then turned and went to the cafeteria.
It seems that in the future, it is inevitable to fight against Qingyu team in the arena. The tactics of that team continued the auxiliary formation developed by the master himself, and the senior brother personally led the team. But he came to Team Mo Jue to stand on the opposite side of his senior brother. Thinking of this, Zhu Qingyue felt a little sad. But he also knew that as a professional player, since he had signed a contract with Mo Jue, he had to do his best. Whether the person opposite is his senior brother or master, he can't let himself be confused - Xiao Mo and Xiao Han are so kind to him, how can he live up to the trust of those two
When walking out of the dormitory, Zhu Qingyue happened to see Qin Mo and Xiao Han, and Zhu Qingyue said hello casually: "Going to eat?"
Qin Mo noticed that his complexion was not very good, so he came over and asked, "Qingyue, are you alright?"
Zhu Qingyue forced a smile and said, "It's okay, I just confirmed with my senior brother that the Qingyu team was indeed established by him, and the person who guides them behind the scenes...is my master."
Chu Yan had retired a long time ago, and he actually personally guided the big apprentice to create a new team, which surprised both Han Mo and him. It seems that he still hasn't given up on the formation tactics where the auxiliary is the core.
Qin Mo and Xiao Han looked at each other, then looked back at Zhu Qingyue and said, "Are you not feeling well?"
He disbanded the team by himself, and now he has to stand on the opposite side of his master and senior brother, he must feel very uncomfortable in his heart.
Zhu Qingyue pretended to be calm and said: "Fortunately..."
Xiao Han smiled slightly, walked over and patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Don't think too much. After your master retired, you insisted on leading the Qingmu team for so many years, and you didn't feel sorry for him."
Qin Mo also said: "Yes, I might not be able to persevere if I change it. If you think like this, Xiao Han and I are very sorry for Master. I have been away from Fengse Club for three years, and now I am still separated from Fengse. After leaving the Mo Jue team, Xiao Han also left the team created by his master, and transferred to Dubu Jianghu to be Mo Jue's deputy team."
Xiao Han followed up and said: "That's right, if the masters were all fussy, we rebels would have been kicked out of the master long ago."
Zhu Qingyue: "..."
It also seems to make sense. It seems that the Mo Jue team gathered really three "traitors"
Xiao Han added: "Don't worry, your master won't blame you. After all, he is also a great master of the generation, so he must not be so stingy."
Being comforted by the twin stars, Zhu Qingyue really felt a lot better in his heart, and said with a smile, "I hope so too. Alright, let's go eat."
