After the group arena, the official website of the alliance released the team rankings for the first half of the year. Although the Mo Jue team only won the third place in the three-player arena, due to the large number of points obtained in the individual competition and the double competition, they are still ranked. at first.
Ranked second is the Dynasty team. Dynasty played very steadily in the previous three competitions. They won the runner-up in both the doubles competition and the group arena competition. With their existence, they should have a better performance in the next team battle.
Lihuo won the championship due to an accident in the group arena, and its ranking surpassed the previous team in front of it, ranking third.
The Shuangyue team is still in fourth place—their fate of being the "fourth in ten thousand years" cannot be reversed for the time being. Chen Jiang is very open-minded, joking on Weibo: "I have already gathered all the players for the individual competition, the double competition and the group arena competition." The fourth place, do I have to gather the fourth place of all items to summon the dragon?"
The fans felt sorry for Team Chen, and someone suggested: "Team Chen, you can call a commentator! In this group arena match, Shao Zehang and Lu Shen jointly commented to send Lihuo to the championship. Next time, you can Ask your ancestor to be the commentator, maybe your luck will change!"
Chen Jiang is also considering the feasibility of this matter, but Master Shi Zu has been retired for a long time, so it is not so easy to summon him.
The fifth place in the standings is Team Yunxiao, and the sixth to eighth place are followed by Guose Tianxiang, Yulou Chunxiao and Qingyu. The points of the three teams are very close, Jiange is a few points behind, and the bottom is still Jinghong .
Currently, the competitions in the first half of the year have all ended. Next, the league will give professional players 15 days off.
The next morning, Xiao Han took the team back to Changsha, and the four of them took a taxi back to the club. Qin Mo asked everyone to gather in the conference room, opened the PPT that had been made, briefly summarized the events of the first half of the year, and re- Sort out the characteristics of the major teams and the players that need to be focused on.
After the meeting, Qin Mo said: "Next, the league will have a 15-day holiday. I want to shorten the holiday to five days, and train as usual for the remaining ten days." He paused, and glanced at the people present, " Do you have any comments on this arrangement?"
Liu Hong said bluntly: "I have no problem, anyway, I have nothing to do after the holiday."
Zhu Qingyue smiled and said: "Other teams should hurry up to train as well. I think this arrangement is quite good."
All the gods agreed, and the newcomers naturally had no objections. Shen He raised his hand positively and said, "I think it's okay to not take a day off. Anyway, at this time, it will be too hot to travel. It's better to stay in the training room and blow on the air conditioner." .”
Qin Mo said: "There is still a five-day holiday. Everyone needs to relax, or go back to see their families."
Xiao Han asked: "I remember the league has announced that after the end of the first half of the year, a carnival will be held. How many days has it been?"
Shen He replied positively: "It's two days! The specific rules haven't been issued yet, but for this kind of activity of attracting popularity and selling peripheral products, you will definitely choose a very popular master, right?"
Qin Mo nodded and said, "The carnival is on June 10th and 11th. The team will be on vacation from the 10th, and everyone will come back to gather on the 15th. Those who don't want to go home can also voluntarily stay in the team. You can arrange the time freely. .is that OK?"
Everyone said there was no problem.
Qin Mo simply said: "Let's end the meeting, and gather for training on time at 2:30 in the afternoon."
***
After returning to the dormitory at noon, Qin Mo wanted Xiao Han to take a nap, but Xiao Han stayed in his bedroom and refused to leave.
Qin Mo frowned and said, "Aren't you going to rest?"
Xiao Han hugged Qin Mo with a smile, leaned into his ear and whispered, "I haven't seen you in a day, like three autumns. I haven't seen you for so long. I'm too excited to see you. How can I be in the mood to sleep?"
Qin Mo couldn't push him away, so he had no choice but to let him hold him.
Xiao Han asked directly: "Did you miss me these days?"
Qin Mo didn't speak.
Xiao Han raised Qin Mo's chin with his index finger, and looked into his eyes seriously: "Tell me, do you miss me? If the answer doesn't satisfy me, I will punish you." He pressed Qin Mo onto the bed as he spoke , scratched Qin Mo's waist with his hands, Qin Mo's waist was the most ticklish, after being scratched twice, he couldn't help laughing immediately: "Don't make trouble..."
Xiao Han asked stubbornly, "Miss me?"
Qin Mo blushed and said, "... miss... miss you, let go."
Only then did Xiao Han let go of his hand, and said with a smile, "This answer is very satisfying, so I decided to reward you with a kiss."
Qin Mo: "..."
The moment he kissed his lips, Qin Mo felt extremely helpless. Xiao Han's face is getting thicker and thicker, but he has nothing to do with this guy, he is really eaten to death.
After the kiss, seeing Qin Mo's slightly flushed cheeks, Xiao Han turned over and lay on the bed contentedly, gently hugged Qin Mo into his arms, and said in a low voice, "I haven't been by your side for a while, I'm so happy." I dream of you every night... They all say that the relationship between couples will fade after getting along for a long time, but I seem to love you more and more."
Qin Mo slightly raised the corners of his lips: "Don't you like this change?"
Xiao Han hurriedly said: "Of course not, it feels very happy to have someone who can make me worry about it."
Qin Mo also had a similar feeling. Although he was not good at expressing himself, during the time when Xiao Han was not around, he would indeed think of Xiao Han often. Even if he could see Xiao Han's face in the live broadcast of the game every afternoon, he was alone at night. I still can't help but think, how is Xiao Han who is far away in Beijing
Probably, when you like someone, you can't help it.
Since it is an emotion from the heart, there is no need to suppress it. Thinking of this, Qin Mo leaned into Xiao Han's arms and closed his eyes, enjoying the rare peace.
***
At 2:30 in the afternoon, the players gathered in the training room on time, and Qin Mo began to arrange for everyone to train in groups.
"Last time I played a friendly match with Dynasty, and everyone is familiar with the rules of the three-person team match." As soon as the topic of the game was mentioned, Qin Mo's face immediately became serious, "In the three-player team match, the captain submits After the five-man roster, the opponent will choose whether to ban one of them to play. In this way, Xiao Han and I are likely to be banned by one of them. We must practice various combinations in advance. Next, practice the three For team battles, everyone should be grouped according to the form I gave."
Qin Mo distributed the form to everyone, which listed in detail the cooperation that needs to be honed in each time period.
From three to four in the afternoon, Qin Mo took Shen He and Li Muran, and Xiao Han took Liu Hong and Pei Yu; from four to five, Qin Mo took He Beiguang and Shen He, and Zhu Qingyue took Li Muran and Xiao Han; at night, He Beiguang, A group of Zhu Qingyue and Xiao Han, a group of Liu Hong, Pei Yu, and Qin Mo...
Qin Mo arranged a very rich combination for running-in, in case of emergency.
At the stage of the three-player competition, since the players sent by the opponent cannot be determined, it is also uncertain which lineup system Mo Jue will use. Before the start of the game, Qin Mo must ensure that each system of Mo Jue will have its own style of play. The practice is extremely proficient, so that there will be no disconnection in coordination during the game.
The captain is so serious, and the team members are naturally very focused. The training results in the afternoon are very good, and Qin Mo is very satisfied.
When training in the evening, Qin Mo told the newcomers about the apprenticeship. He had already accepted Shen He as an apprentice. The remaining three newcomers, Xiao Han accepted Li Muran, Zhu Qingyue taught He Beiguang, and Liu Hong taught Pei Yu. In fact, even if they don’t accept apprentices, Zhu Qingyue and Liu Hong in the team have been teaching Xiao He and Xiao Pei seriously. They were relieved of the worry that they might be eliminated by Qin Mo, and could train with peace of mind.
Pei Yu knew that Qin Mo's action was to reassure him, so he couldn't help being very moved, and took the initiative to pour a cup of tea to respect Liu Hong: "Sister Hong..."
Liu Hong took the tea and said with a smile, "It's time to change the name to Master."
Pei Yu hurriedly said, "Master, please take care of me in the future."
Liu Hong said bluntly: "Don't be so restrained, I still need to improve myself, let's study together."
She has always been unassuming, and Pei Yu also likes Hong Jie, who has a bright personality, and admires her for leaving the club without hesitation. Naturally, it is an honor to be her apprentice.
With a simple mind, He Beiguang asked while offering tea, "Master, if I worship under your sect, then God Chu is my master, and Dui Luo is my master?"
Zhu Qingyue smiled and said, "Well, that's right. I have a chance to introduce you to them."
"That's great!" He Beiguang scratched his head happily, paused, and was a little worried, "However, the entire division is all assistants, and I'm a slut, so I don't think the style of painting is right?"
Shen He next to him snickered and said, "It's like a stupid cow suddenly broke into the small fresh flower bed..."
He Beiguang turned his head and glared at him: "How do you describe it?"
Shen He immediately dodged and hid behind Qin Mo, pretending that he didn't exist. He Beiguang was too lazy to argue with him, and turned to Zhu Qingyue: "Master, will God Chu recognize me as a disciple?"
Zhu Qingyue said: "Don't worry, it's my business to recruit apprentices, and he won't interfere."
Only then did He Beiguang feel relieved.
The atmosphere between Li Muran and Xiao Han was a bit weird, Li Muran respectfully brought a cup of tea to Xiao Han, and called in a low voice: "Master."
Xiao Han nodded, took a sip of tea and said, "Well, from now on, you will learn from Qin Mo."
Li Muran: "Yes."
Everyone: "..."
What seems wrong? But after thinking about it carefully, there is nothing wrong—Xiao Han and Qin Mo have already changed their apprentices naturally.
***
The intensive training lasted for a week. Qin Mo asked different combinations to play the civil war to check and accept the results, and then find out the shortcomings and make corrections.
The Dubu League's official website finally opened the online voting channel, and explained that the top 14 contestants in the voting popularity will be invited to attend the carnival.
All of a sudden, the fans of the major teams began to solicit votes frantically. Both Qin Mo and Xiao Han were placed in the top two of the popularity list, followed by Lin Shuangcheng, who was born as an e-sports anchor and has a large number of fans; Chen Jiang, Nie Yuzhu , Chu Jianxin, Qiu Zongping, Li Junru and other captains all have the strong support of the club's fan base, and the number of votes quickly exceeded 10,000; A lot of division tickets, soon among the top ten.
The competition for the 11th to 20th places is extremely fierce. Luo Yuan, the captain of the Qingyu team, Lu Boyu, a player of the Black Umbrella, Yuan Xi, the summoner of the Yunxiao team, Zhou Xuewei, the god milk, Sang Jun, the vice-captain of Dynasty, Lin Yao, the dark horse player, and Shuangyue's He Yue, Rong Haibin, Mo Jue's Zhu Qingyue, Liu Hong, and so on, all had tight votes. Even newcomers like Jingyang and Shen He have many supporters.
Seeing that he actually had 5,000 votes, Shen He danced with excitement: "I also have loyal fans, it's unbelievable!"
The official limit is that each registration ID can only vote for a maximum of two players. There are so many great masters to choose from. It is really not easy for a newcomer like myself to get 5,000 votes. Although this number of votes was incomparable to the hundreds of thousands of votes of the Great God Sect, Shen He was still very satisfied.
The voting period lasted for a week. On June 6th, the voting channel was closed, and the alliance finally released the list of players who will finally participate in the carnival.
Qin Mo, Xiao Han, and Zhu Qingyue from Mojue, Chu Jianxin and Sang Jun from Dynasty, Qiu Zongping and Zhou Xuewei from Yunxiao, Su Cheng and Xie Changming from Yulou Chunxiao, and the six captains Li Junru, Lin Shuangcheng, Chen Jiang, Nie Yuzhu, and Luo Yuan .
From this list, it can be seen that the popularity of the players among netizens is not completely equal to their own strength. Although the overall strength of the Yulou Chunxiao team is not as good as Lihuo and Shuangyue, the piano and flute ensemble of the brothers Su and Xie is in-depth. People's hearts, got a lot of passers-by votes. As for Mo Jue, due to the restriction that one ID can only cast two votes, most fans of the team directly voted for Gemini, making Liu Hong only a few hundred votes short of being selected.
Liu Hong was also very calm about this result. She didn't like such lively occasions. Han Mo and Qing Yue went to the carnival together, and she happened to stay in Changsha to go shopping with her sister—she hadn't gone shopping for a long time, so Buy some new clothes to wear, you can't wear the team uniform every day, it will only make you more and more manly.
The contestants selected for the carnival soon received an invitation letter from the alliance courier. Fourteen contestants were added to a group, and a girl nicknamed "Xiao Chen" was in charge of arranging round-trip air tickets and accommodation for everyone.
It is not troublesome to book a flight ticket. You only need to provide your ID number to buy tickets online. But in terms of accommodation, Xiao Chen encountered a big problem-this carnival, there are many players from different teams, and the dormitories are all double rooms, so it is really worrying who will be arranged with whom!
In the carnival group, Xiao Chen sent a message: "Everyone, the seven official rooms are double standard rooms. The current arrangement is that Hanshen and Moshen are in room 1101, and the first team and Sang's deputy team are in 1102. Thank you two masters 1103, Sister Xuewei and Junru 1104, the rest of the masters, because they are not on the same team, who do you want to share a room with, please tell me, I can arrange~"
Chen Jiangdao: "Old Nie, why don't we live together?"
Nie Yuzhu sent a "hmm".
Lin Shuangcheng took the initiative to say: "Do I have the honor to be roommates with Team Qiu^_^"
Qiu Zongping: "... you are too polite, and I am also very honored."
Everyone teamed up in two groups, and only Zhu Qingyue and Luo Yuan were left after taking over. Xiao Chen said: "Then, Master Qing and Dui Luo, you brothers and sisters can live together, is that okay?"
The group fell silent.
After a long time, Xiao Chen said tremblingly: "@朱清越@罗远, are you two there?"
There was still no response in the group, Qin Mo couldn't help but said: "Qingyue, go to Q, and arrange for Xiao Chen from the dormitory to find you."
Only then did Zhu Qingyue log on to Q after realizing it, opened the group and looked at it, and immediately replied: "No problem, let's arrange it like this."
Many people watching the screen breathed a sigh of relief, Xie Changming was blunt, and couldn't help but said: "I was shocked, there was no response for ten minutes, the group was very embarrassed, I thought your brothers and sisters turned against each other, and you would never communicate with each other..."
Zhu Qingyue smiled and said, "You're thinking too much, I wasn't online just now."
Luo Yuan, who was also out of the situation, finally came back to his senses at this time: "What's the situation????"
Zhu Qingyue said: "Brother, let's live together during this carnival."
Luo Yuan: "Uh..."
Zhu Qingyue: "What's the matter? Don't you want to live with me [aggrieved expression]"
Luo Yuan: "No, no, that's not what it means! Well, Master seems to be in Beijing these days, or, after you arrive in Beijing, I... I invite you to dinner?"
After sending out this line of words, Luo Yuan couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
In fact, he has always owed Zhu Qingyue an apology. After the last two-person competition, he hurriedly said sorry backstage, which seemed very insincere. Fortunately, both of them were selected into the list of popular players in this carnival. He was thinking about whether he should take this opportunity to treat Zhu Qingyue to a meal, My heart is untied. After all, Zhu Qingyue came from the same school as him, so there is no need to make the relationship too tense. It just so happens that the master is also in Beijing recently, and with the mediation of the master, maybe they can restore their previous relationship.
Just now I was looking up what to eat near the hotel, and I didn't pay attention to the news in the group, but when I opened the group, I saw that Xiao Chen arranged the two in the same room.
Luo Yuan typed with some embarrassment: "If you have no problem, I will ask Master to come over in advance?"
Zhu Qingyue said: "Okay, then thank you, brother."
Xie Changming couldn't help but said: "Look at other people's seniors! @苏成, don't you invite me to dinner? [grieved expression]"
Su Cheng: "... show some face."
Xie Changming sent a row of laughing emojis: "By the way, won't there be any prank sessions in this carnival?"
Lin Shuangcheng said: "According to the consistent urgency of the e-sports league, the carnival must have a pruning session. How to do it... depends on whether the event planner wants to let us go."
Xie Changming: "Suddenly I'm so scared, everyone is merciful [fear]"
Chen Jiang: "Don't bring me in the whole person session, I'm just an innocent crowd [kindly smile]"
Chu Jianxin suddenly interjected: "If you want to divide into groups, I suggest that @肖汉@秦露 form a team, and the remaining 12 people form a team. Everyone will fight the boss together. Do you agree?"
Xie Changming: "Agreed!! This idea is great!"
Lin Shuangcheng: "Agree +1"
Qiu Zongping: "Agree +2"
Everyone immediately raised their hands in agreement, with ten approvals in an instant, and even Zhu Qingyue joined in the fun.
Xiao Han sent a red envelope with a password, and the password to receive was: "Let's kill Sang Jun together"
The people in the group immediately started grabbing the red envelopes at a high speed, completely ignoring the matter of queuing up to agree to Sang Jun's suggestion just now.
Chu Jianxin: "...how about your morals?"
Everyone said, can morality be eaten? Red envelopes are the most affordable!
Xiao Han has obviously figured out what this group of people are thinking, and a red envelope can solve Chu Jianxin's shit-stirring stick.
Xiao Chen, who was watching the screen in the group, said: God or something, really can't get in close contact, one by one, the image has collapsed!
***
On the evening of June 9th, the fourteen contestants who participated in the first Dubu Jianghu Carnival Ceremony arrived at the officially designated hotel one after another, and checked in under the reception of Xiao Chen.
Zhu Qingyue swiped his card to enter the door, and saw Luo Yuan leaning over the bed to pack his luggage. When he heard the door behind him, Luo Yuan immediately turned his head and met a pair of clear eyes. There always seemed to be a slight smile in the eyes of the junior brother, and his voice was very gentle: "Senior brother, you have arrived."
He naturally walked around Luo Yuan with the suitcase, and came to another bed to put down his luggage. Luo Yuan was startled, looking a little embarrassed, scratched his head and said: "Cough, um... I just arrived too. Take a rest first, let's go out for dinner at 6:30, I have reserved a seat."
Zhu Qingyue said: "Okay, where is Master?"
Luo Yuan said: "I have already greeted him, and he will come too."
Zhu Qingyue hummed, then didn't say anything else, took out the toiletry bag from the box, and went to the bathroom to wash his face.
At 6:30, the two set off together to a nearby specialty restaurant, where Luo Yuan booked a private room in advance. When the two entered the room, Chu Yan was already sitting there, looking down at the menu. He was wearing a black short-sleeved shirt with two buttons unbuttoned at the neckline, revealing a honey-colored chest, and his hair was neatly combed, making him look very handsome.
Luo Yuan said respectfully: "Master."
Zhu Qingyue asked: "Master is here so early?"
Chu Yan raised his head, glanced at Luo Yuan, then set his eyes on Zhu Qingyue, and smiled slightly: "I came here early after get off work, otherwise there will be traffic jams in the evening rush hour."
Luo Yuan said enthusiastically: "Junior, sit down and order first."
Chu Yan handed the menu to Luo Yuan: "I ordered a few dishes, see if there is anything that needs to be added."
Luo Yuan glanced at it, then passed the menu to Zhu Qingyue: "Junior Brother, you can order."
Zhu Qingyue took a look and found that what Chu Yan ordered were basically the flavors he usually likes. His heart warmed and he smiled and said, "No need, these should be enough."
While waiting for the food to be served, Luo Yuan took the initiative to open a bottle of red wine, filled the glasses of the three of them, stood up and said: "This is the first time the three of us, the master and the apprentice, have gathered together in these years. Master, thank you for your teaching."
"..." Chu Yan laughed, "I'm not used to you being so serious all of a sudden."
Saying this, Chu Yan simply drank the wine toasted by the big apprentice, and then he looked at Zhu Qingyue with a half-smile: "Aren't you going to toast the master?"
Facing his playful gaze, Zhu Qingyue's ears were slightly hot, but he still pretended to stand up calmly and said, "A toast to Master, um... to your cultivation of me."
Chu Yan drank the glass of wine with a smile, then filled the glass, and said: "Since you called me over today, I, as a master, have to say a few more words. Luo Yuan had no choice but to leave the team, and Qing Yue disbanded." The team is also forced to help, but those things are in the past. You have your own choices now, and you also have your own responsibilities. I hope you two can understand each other, let alone feel sorry for me, not inheriting Master's tactics It's nothing, I don't mind that at all. Let go of the past and start over...”
Chu Yan took the initiative to raise his wine glass and said, "Come and have a drink. After drinking this glass, the past grievances and grievances will be wiped out. You are still brothers, and I am still your master."
Apparently the master had already seen through his intention to treat him to dinner, Luo Yuan couldn't help but blushed in embarrassment, and said: "Junior brother, I'm very... sorry, I have been very unfriendly to you before, in fact, I have no right to blame you at all. You, taking advantage of Master's presence today, I want to apologize to you, it's because Senior Brother is too paranoid, I'm sorry..."
Zhu Qingyue smiled and said, "It's okay, I can understand your feelings."
The three raised their glasses to each other, and drank the red wine in the glasses in one gulp.
The younger brother generously expressed that he didn't mind, the stone in Luo Yuan's heart finally fell to the ground, and he entertained the master and younger brother more enthusiastically for dinner.
This table of food cost a lot of money, but Luo Yuan sincerely wanted to reconcile with his junior brother, so he naturally chose the most high-end restaurant nearby to show his sincerity. After the meal, he also took the initiative to go out to pay the bill.
After he left, Chu Yan immediately hugged Zhu Qingyue into his arms, and said in a low voice, "This is the first time I've seen you drunk."
Zhu Qingyue hurriedly pushed him: "I'm not drunk, I just blush easily after drinking, you, you let go first."
Chu Yan came over, smiled and licked Zhu Qingyue's ear, and said, "Don't let go."
The little apprentice's flushed cheeks after drinking was really alluring. In addition, the two hadn't seen each other for nearly a month. Just now, Luo Yuan was present, and Chu Yan endured it very hard. Now that Luo Yuan went downstairs to pay the bill, Chu Yan Finally couldn't bear it anymore, hugged Zhu Qingyue and kissed him.
"Hmm... um... let go... let go..." Although Zhu Qingyue pushed him hard, his hands were weak because of the lack of oxygen in his brain from being kissed.
"I miss you so much, Qingyue." Chu Yan simply grabbed his hand, took the opportunity to pry open his teeth with his tongue, and deepened the kiss.
"Well..." Zhu Qingyue completely gave up resistance.
"I forgot to bring my wallet, haha..." The moment Luo Yuan opened the door and came in, Luo Yuan's dry laughter suddenly stuck in his throat. Looking at the scene where his junior was hugged and kissed by the master, his eyes rolled Almost fell off!
God, what did he see
Who's going to tell him what's going on? ? ?
