November 3rd, morning. oM≤,
"Yo, wake up." After Feng Bujue came back from his morning run, he saw Ruoyu who was tidying up the living room.
Not long after Ruoyu moved in, the two made an appointment to take turns taking care of the housework. But the agreement is the agreement, in fact, Ruoyu has more things to do, after all, girls like to be clean, and many times she will tidy up because she really can't stand it.
"It's been a while." After hearing Brother Jue's words, Ruoyu continued with the matter at hand, without raising his head, and replied, "I'm waiting for you to come back with breakfast."
"Hehe..." Feng Bujue smiled, "Be careful when eating soup dumplings today."
There is a reason why he laughs so cheaply and powerfully... Everyone has one or two things that they are not good at, for example, Brother Jue is not good at tying knots, Xiaotan is not good at lying; and Ruoyu...she is not good at Too good at using chopsticks.
Of course, the "not very good at using" here doesn't mean that she can't pick up dishes, but... because Ruoyu didn't learn the correct way to hold chopsticks when she was a child, her skills in using chopsticks are slightly worse than ordinary people. There is no problem with normal use on weekdays, but... once she encounters slippery or loose foods such as tofu and fish balls, and things like soup dumplings with thin skins and soup inside...she often will be embarrassed.
In fact... this is not a big problem, in a sense it is cute. However, when you show a weakness in front of a (slut) person like Feng Bujue, malicious complaints and teasing will definitely be indispensable.
Who do we think brother is? If there is a competition in this world where you grab food with chopsticks, he is at least one of the top ten players in the world. When he was a student, as long as he was willing, the classmates who ate at the table with him could not eat a bite of meat. Some people even confronted him with his hands, and he finally snatched a chicken leg with chopsticks...
"What are you careful about?" Ruoyu glared at Brother Jue immediately, "Isn't it just a soup dumpling... at worst, the meat juice will flow out if the pinch is broken."
"That's such a pity, don't soup dumplings just eat this mouthful of broth?" Feng Bujue showed a sinister smile, "How about... I'll feed it..."
"You think too much." Ruoyu interrupted before he finished speaking, "I haven't been fed since I can remember."
"So you are twenty-two years old and still don't know how to use chopsticks?" Brother Jue replied.
"Is a twenty-four-year-old man who can't even tie his shoelaces right to criticize me?" Ruoyu is good at complaining now. He and Jue brother taunted each other, but they didn't lose the wind.
"Hehehe..." Feng Bujue smiled even more obscenely, "I don't mind if you tie it for me."
"That's it..." Ruoyu immediately snorted coldly, "Hmph... okay, how about a bet?"
"Oh? What kind of bet?" Brother Jue also became interested.
"One week. I practice chopsticks, you practice knotting." Ruoyu continued, "After a week, I promise that I can pick up anything you can pick up safely, but you must also promise that I can tie knots for you can fight."
"This..." this moment. Feng Bujue... I'm really a little cowardly.
"Are you afraid?" Ruoyu asked.
"Ha!" Brother Jue laughed dryly, "I almost forgot how to write fear." He forced himself to be confident, "Just bet, tell me... what is the bet?" Then, "Oh, let me declare in advance, I have to consider requests such as sex, I am an upright person."
In the next second, Ruoyu didn't speak yet. Assas, who was lying on the sofa, complained first: "Those years in hell, meow~ I have heard and seen many shameless words and deeds, but as far as I know...can be shameless and cheap so perfectly You are the only one who is mixed together, meow."
After hearing this, Ruoyu looked at Assas expressionlessly: "I said... no matter what, he is still my boyfriend. You make him so miserable, doesn't it seem that I have poor eyesight."
"No... It's not a question of good eyesight." Assas replied, "It's fine if you only look at the face... But you still chose to date Feng Bujue after knowing his character, you can only say You are also a weirdo." She paused, scratched the back of her head and neck with her paw, "Yes...you are indeed a weirdo, meow."
"Hmm..." Ruoyu heard the words. After thinking for a moment, "Then... the bet is..."
"Hey!" Brother Jue couldn't help complaining, "Suddenly the topic was abruptly changed!"
Ruoyu ignored him, and continued, "This bet... if I win. Unless I am in a good mood and want to intervene... otherwise, you will take care of all the housework from now on."
"Hey~ What's the concept of 'from now on'?" Feng Bujue responded, "If we get married in the future, wouldn't I advance the labor force for decades in advance?"
"If you don't dare to bet, just say it." Ruoyu continued.
"Cut..." Feng Bujue frowned, "Then... what if you lose?"
"From now on, I will tie your shoelaces." Ruoyu replied.
"Okay! You said it." Feng Bujue said loudly.
"Yes. I said it." Ruoyu replied calmly.
After a pause for a second, the two said in unison: "It's a deal!"
"Alas..." Assas sighed and shook his head, "What two wonderful cats~"
...
On November 3rd, at ten o'clock in the morning, Feng Bujue landed in the space.
"Hmph...you have to be alone in the landing space to sort things out, the devil would believe it..." Brother Jue started complaining as soon as he got into the elevator, "Actually, I want to learn the skills of using chopsticks quietly in the game world... I must be at the moment Search related videos on the touch screen!"
While muttering, he shamelessly opened the web page of a certain search engine through the touch screen, and entered the four words "how to tie a knot".
For the next hour, he worked with unprecedented concentration and enthusiasm... on the art of knotting. Although he said to Ruoyu before going online, "I went online to collect game information", but in fact the two of them did similar things...
Before I knew it, an hour (game time) had passed. After watching a lot of pictures and video tutorials... Feng Bujue closed all the webpages, took two steps back, opened his arms, and used a movement like Shawshank regaining freedom Looking up to the sky and screaming: "It's so difficult."
Again... Everyone has one or two things they are not very good at.
To make a long story short, after doing those painful actions, Brother Jue finally opened the official website and forum of Dream Company and started to watch the information about the game.
At this time, the list of the top eight teams of Peak Contest S2 has already been released, and the names of the eight teams are placed in the most prominent positions on the homepage of the official website.
And these eight teams are: [Order] [Gods] [Jianghu] [Red Sakura] [Warring States] [Hell Frontline] [Waste Wood Alliance] [Mountain and River].
Since no two teams from the same studio entered the quarter-finals together, and no "second team" entered the quarter-finals. Therefore, the list directly omits those teams that contain the words "team one" in their team names.
Overall... Of these eight teams, six are professional teams with a studio background, and two teams are composed of individual players.
This result can be said to have greatly exceeded the predictions of the audience and various intelligence analysis teams...
In team competitive games, professional teams have a huge advantage. The professional team sits on the resources of the entire studio. Regardless of personnel coordination, item mobilization, pre-match intelligence...all are much, much better than those "in the wild" players.
A team composed of four individual professional players like the [Waste Wood League] is actually not a "professional" team... The so-called "professional team" does not mean finding a few professional players to form a team. ;In addition to the players, there are a large number of people who are contributing to the team's victory... It's just that the work of these people is carried out outside the game, and the general audience does not know their existence.
but. This time, in the peak competition s2, in the team competition situation, in a competition system where there are almost no flukes... There are still two non-studio teams that have reached the quarterfinals. This result has once again made the leaders of the major studios realize... that Thriller Paradise cannot be viewed from the perspective of ordinary online games.
"At a glance, no team is easy to deal with..." Feng Bujue murmured after seeing the list.
That's right, in fact, he wasn't surprised when he saw this list, because as early as when he saw the top 16 matchup list, he had already predicted which eight teams would be promoted next. Now the question is... how the current eight teams will match up.
"Win one more game...you will be able to enter the final." Brother Jue read while browsing the webpage quickly, "The final is four teams competing on the same field. Therefore, there will be a lot of variables. Generally speaking... more variables mean that Weaker teams will get more chances." His eyes shifted slightly, staying on the word [Order], "Using such a mechanism in the finals seems to be taking care of teams other than [Order]..." He paused, "Not only can we play one less round, but it also increases the chances of defeating the strongest team."
Thinking of this, Feng Bujue has already scanned every piece of information on the homepage of the official website with a super fast speed of one glance and ten lines... Basically, it is some news that you can know the content just by looking at the headline. So, he quickly opened the game forum. Wanted to see what I could gain from that.
"Hey~" As soon as he opened the homepage of the competition discussion area, Brother Jue was attracted by a "hot post of the day" on the top.
The title of that post was [Analysis of All Match Possibilities in the Semi-Finals and Winning and Losing Predictions].
"Heh..." Feng Bujue clicked into the post and looked at it for a while, then smiled, "So coming to the forum is still very helpful. It saves me a lot of things that I need to do through mental calculations, and it will also It's listed so that...the list can be easily stored in the mind through graphic memory."
Just like that, Feng Bujue completely ignored the part about the outcome prediction, and quickly wrote down all the "match possibility" lists listed by the other party (including 28 single match combinations and 105 complete match lists), and checked the calculations by the way. After confirming that it was correct, he closed the post.
Then, he opened each discussion area one by one, filtered the information at an extremely fast speed, and flipped through the posts page by page.
In view of the popularity of the peak competition, the amount of posts on the forum can be imagined. Even though it was a weekday morning, and even though the forum had various mechanisms to filter out spam, the number of posts in each discussion section was still increasing at a rate of at least one per minute.
"Oh? This seems to be interesting..." Suddenly, Brother Jue's eyes stopped on a post with a very eye-catching title ["Past and Present" by the 818 Wastewood Alliance].
To be honest, the team that Feng Bujue doesn't want to meet the most at this stage is [Waste Wood Alliance], because among the seven teams that may become opponents, Brother Jue knows the least information about this team.
Among them... Naturally, there are also reasons for Honghu's layout. As expected of a smart general, he adopted a strategy similar to [Hell Front] in the preliminaries, and turned on all privacy protection options. In addition, the people in their team also have amazing strengths. Many times, they achieved victory before the enemy figured out what was going on. This made their game video and what was revealed in the video The information provided is very limited.
For a man like Feng Bujue who "has already calculated more than 70% of the factors that determine the outcome of the battle before the battle", the lack of information is a very bad thing. Especially the feeling of "knowing the strength of the enemy, but not knowing how strong the enemy is" made him feel like a thorn in his throat and restless.
Relatively speaking, if he really meets a professional team, he will be able to handle it with ease. Even if it is [Order] and [Gods], most of your information is an open secret anyway. As long as you have enough data, it is considered God... Brother Jue can also be plotted to death alive.
"Let me take a look..." After clicking on the post, Feng Bujue found that it was a whole long paragraph, and the font used that kind of bright purple font that can blind people's eyes, and immediately complained, "This person wants to Let's take revenge on the society... Forcibly reduce the durability of the dog's eyes to zero..."
Let's talk, let's see...
Feng Bujueqiang stared at the unbearable font, and read the entire article with the mood of searching for information, and then...
"Fucking, this is it!" He really wanted to throw a cup or something, but unfortunately there was nothing in his hand, "What is this? No wonder the title looks like the ones commonly used by paparazzi, but it turned out to be just gossip! Uncle Wuchai is young How wonderful is it that I joined a male idol group in Korea! Now I’m not just an old man with sunglasses on his body!”
Just as Brother Jue was complaining loudly and viciously, suddenly, a small icon popped up in his social bar... This is a reminder that only appears when "friends" send messages.
Seeing it, Feng Bujue didn't think much about it, so he clicked on it. Unexpectedly... the person who sent the message was... (.)
