On the evening of April 19th, at Feng Bujue's home.
At this time, brother Jue, who had just finished washing the dishes, was sitting in front of the computer and browsing the web.
Needless to say, it can be guessed that throughout the day today, various forums related to Thriller Paradise are discussing the abstention of [Heaven's Gate]. And those travel media have also spared no effort to produce a large number of articles with extremely misleading titles but no dry content.
For these almost useless information, Feng Bujue doesn't pay too much attention to it, at most he glances at it casually; the only valuable information he really wants to see is the official statement from the Dream Company...
However, Dream Company did not give any explanation for this, they just put up a new announcement - due to the abstention of [Heaven's Gate], the semi-final match between [Hell Front] and [Order] is now upgraded to the S3 finals, the final It will be held as scheduled at 0:00 on April 20th, and the rules of artifacts remain the same.
Although many players feel that saying this announcement is tantamount to not saying anything, there is nothing wrong with Dream Company's handling of it this way.
The abstention was originally the decision made by the players of [Heaven's Gate], because this matter was so unbelievable that it could easily be regarded as a shady plot by the organizers, so the players of the Heaven team even made a live video broadcast. declared. As for the reasons for abstention, that is their own business, abstaining is their right, but it is not their duty to explain the reason to the public... If the parties don’t speak up, what can Dream Company say
Anyway, Dream Company continued to advance the competition according to the rules. Right now, there are only two teams left that have not been eliminated. The duel between these two teams is naturally the final.
"Di-"
While Feng Bujue was checking the announcement, suddenly, a voice chat application window popped up on the chat software in the corner of the desktop.
The window shows that a strange user with the ID "Michael" invited Juege to chat online, and the source of the other party is still "unknown", which is a source display item that does not exist in the chat software.
After thinking for two seconds, Feng Bujue picked up the headset on the computer desk and put it on for himself, then clicked "Accept".
The next second, the voice chat connection was established, and a man's voice came from the headset immediately: "I think, you should know who I am."
"Ah..." Feng Bujue continued, "Of course I know, those of you who use your real names as your online names are basically salesmen."
"Your sense of humor is as impressive as rumored, but I think these insignificant words are not conducive to our communication." Michael said.
"That's right." Feng Bujue said, "Then gossip less... What do you want me to do?"
"First of all, on behalf of my subordinates, I would like to apologize to you for some unpleasant things that happened to you in the past." Michael said, "And let you know... Uriel has received the punishment he deserved."
"Punishment?" Feng Bujue asked suspiciously, "What punishment? Aruba will be finished in a few strokes? Isn't he still competing with you? I don't think he has anything to do."
"He can compete with me, naturally because he has already paid the price for his actions..." Michael replied, "intimidating several candidates including you and Shilong, interfering in the betting, and speaking rudely in the parliament Wait, these are not small charges... For this reason, Uriel was not only lynched by the referee, but also punished by "breaking a feather" by the parliament. Afterwards, he himself made a deep repentance... At least In my opinion, that's enough."
"Oh." Feng Bujue continued in a calm tone, "Is that so..." He smiled, "Heh... But in my opinion, he has to come and apologize to us parties in person to be regarded as an apology. 'enough'."
"Unfortunately, he will not be allowed to communicate with humans on the real plane for the next thousand years, including voice calls like this..." Michael said, "So, as the chief and brother, I can only Come and apologize for him."
"So that's how it is..." Feng Bujue read, "You seem to be quite a sensible person, not the same as your brothers."
"I'm not a 'human', but I accept the commendatory part of your sentence." Michael said, "I have to admit that many of my brothers and sisters have varying degrees of antipathy towards human beings, and part of this antipathy comes from The objective difference at the biological level, the other part comes from the degenerate nature of the human race and your contempt for us after you lost your faith; in this 'post-apocalypse era', the 'lords of the earth' have forgotten us 'slaves in the sky' ', but we cannot let go of our glory and arrogance because of this, this is where the contradiction lies... "
"What about you? Why can you communicate with me on an equal footing?" Feng Bujue asked.
"I never said I was equal to you, and apologizing to you doesn't mean I'm groveling." Michael said, "You can think... I'm actually more proud than them, so my attitude towards you seems to be Peaceful."
"To put it simply, the degree of deification is better than theirs." Feng Bujue said, "You can just say it directly, I can understand."
"Oh?" Michael's tone changed slightly, "It seems that Woody told you a lot..."
"Since you mentioned 'hehehe', let me ask by the way, how is he doing recently? I haven't contacted him for a long time." Feng Bujue replied.
"Didn't you hear what I said just now?" Michael said, "'Interfering in gambling games, making insulting remarks in parliament', etc., are all serious crimes."
"Well..." Feng Bujue pondered, "Understood... Although I don't know to what extent Woody has achieved it, I can infer from my experience dealing with him and Uriel... His crime is probably more Uriel is ten times more serious, right?"
"About his disposal, I have nothing to say." Michael said, "What I can tell you is... Your act of helping him recover the 'crown' has greatly reduced his punishment, and even It probably saved his life."
"Crown?" Feng Bujue thought for a second, then continued, "The 'Atari Crown' I got from Snow?"
"Yes." Michael said, "Those are important props in the 'candidate game', although these years have gradually become only symbolic things, but according to tradition, they still have to be used... so , the council decided to use real objects as a basis to generate the "four artifacts" you used in the thriller paradise; Many, it is difficult to recycle, I did not expect Woody to complete the recycling work quickly without using any resources... This credit has become his life-saving straw."
"So it's such an important thing..." Feng Bujue read, "Tch... I feel like I'm at a loss again, and I have to hit him again next time we meet."
"I doubt very much whether you will ever see him again." Michael said coldly, "Of course, it's none of my business..."
"Okay." Brother Jue curled his lips, and said again, "Come back to business... You should not only contact me to apologize for your brother, what else is there?"
"I'm here to inform... and congratulations, you won the candidate game." Michael replied.
"Huh?" Now, Feng Bujue was a little taken aback.
However, as a scheming person, he reacted like this after two seconds: "Wait... You are not trying to deceive me, let me relax my vigilance or abstain in the final?"
"It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not, I'm just here to tell you the result." Michael replied, "Among all the candidates, you are undoubtedly one of the most prominent...
"In terms of ability to make a horizontal comparison... Since the beginning of the 'game', you have defeated every candidate of the same level that competes with you in different forms and at different points in time by virtue of your resourcefulness and force .
"And from the perspective of a 'politician' from the perspective of personal charm and social skills... your popularity in the main universe and other worlds of Thriller Paradise is also unmatched, far surpassing any other player Even virtual creatures...
"As for the candidates who are 'ambiguous' and 'negotiable', in this S3 competition, my brothers and I have personally selected one by one, making sure that no one is missing who may have the opportunity to compete with you of potential.
"With all that said, the candidates' game is over...While Woodie is still 'taking the punishment', he has won and successfully demonstrated to Parliament the validity of his philosophy.
"From now on, at least until the next era comes, the 'candidate game' will be played under the guise of 'the most popular interactive entertainment product in human society at the same time', human beings, no need to shed blood for it...
"The era of exchanging blood and life for glory is over, and whether it will come back... This is not something you need to consider."
After listening to his narration, Feng Bujue basically believed it, because he really couldn't find a reason for the other party to lie.
As a result, Brother Jue's instinctive malice began to rise: "Okay, okay...that's ok." After saying yes a few times, he continued in a joking tone, "Then here comes the question... As a winner, I should have some benefits, right? For example, mountains of gold and silver, wine ponds and meat forests, seventy virgins, etc.?"
"You..." Michael seemed to be suppressed by Brother Jue's low power at this moment, "...you seem to be living with your girlfriend, and you say such things so loudly..."
"Stop talking nonsense, she went to the supermarket to buy something." Feng Bujue didn't wait for the other party to finish speaking, he raised his voice again, and interrupted, "Hurry up, it's good!"
"Hmm..." Michael pondered, "It's no good."
"Put your pigeon fart! You have a cloaca deformity and a mouth?" In the real world, Brother Jue can freely use all kinds of swear words, which has raised his expressive ability by more than one level, "One cycle is like this It's a long game that concerns the fate of all human beings, and you told me that the person involved won't get any rewards? Tell me! Did you take the benefits that the Taijun gave me... all the kickbacks!"
Michael heard the words and was silent for a long time, but he still couldn't fully understand how dirty Juege's words were and how many stalks they hid, so he gave up and explained directly: "According to tradition, the selected The winner... can get the blessing of the council, become a unique existence in this world that does not produce 'karma' in any action, and can get a special physique that can "control the two opposite forces of holy power and magic power at the same time." He Paused, "But... you are not a creature of this universe, you come from another universe... That is to say, you are not affected by the 'karma' of this universe, which is why Woody asked you to help recover the 'crown' '; similarly, because you are not from 'our people', the 'dual power blessing' cannot be implemented." He paused for two seconds again, "...I said this, you should understand, right? "
"Understood." Feng Bujue suddenly replied these two words in a very calm tone.
"So..." Michael was a little afraid to answer, "Do you have anything else to say about this?"
"Fuck." Brother Jue's answer was short and powerful.
"Well..." Michael pondered again, "If there is nothing else..."
Just when he was about to hang up, Feng Bujue hurriedly asked again: "By the way, if I win in the final, can I make additional demands?"
Michael will not lie, he will say whatever he has: "No... the rest of the game is just an ordinary game between humans that has nothing to do with the candidate game, we can't..."
beep beep—
Before he finished talking, Brother Jue took the initiative to cut off the voice connection.
Feng Bujue is expressing this with actions—if this is the case, then we humans have nothing to talk to you about.
