Chapter 37 The Whole Team Is in Disarray

The satellite beam caused total chaos for the second team.

Wang Jiexi's Wang Bu Liuxing was hit head-on by the main beam. It was lucky he didn't fall to the ground, let alone fly. Then, the smaller beams scattered in four directions, causing the Iron Triangle to lose their footing.

How could Huang Shaotian and Zhou Zekai miss such an opportunity? They were on the same team as Su Mucheng, making them immune to the satellite beam. The beam didn't bother them at all. Huang Shaotian's Yu Nian Shengfan had just landed when he used Triple Slash to cut a path into the formation. Zhou Zekai's Yi Qiang Chuan Yun was even faster. Before he even arrived, bullets were already flying.

Both of them had the same thought: to seize this opportunity and take down Zhang Xinjie's cleric, Shi Bu Zhuan.

Clerics weren't strong fighters to begin with. Now, without support, having to dodge the satellite beam, and facing the fierce attacks of two god-level players, Zhang Xinjie's control remained meticulous, but he simply couldn't withstand the combined forces of two gods.

When Yu Wenzhou saw the chaos on the other side, he immediately used a big move. A Rain of Chaos was summoned, creating a chaotic and smog-filled scene with an evil aura. The dark purple rain that fell made people feel disgusted at first glance. The special effect of this Rain of Chaos was the chance to inflict the Confused state on those who were hit. In this state, the character's actions were completely out of the player's control, which was a huge problem.

Han Wenqing was already on his way to rescue Zhang Xinjie, but when he saw this skill, he didn't dare to go forward. He jumped out of the skill's range and went around. Then, with a few loud crashes, Chu Yunxiu's elemental mage summoned several ice walls, lined up neatly. She clearly intended to block the way without detonating the ice walls.

The first team's players didn't need to be commanded; they naturally cooperated with each other. The situation was too clear, and their tactical awareness was so high that their judgments were all the same.

The audience's applause was continuous. Today's All-Star Game had so many highlights. Most of the players had amazing bursts of energy, leading the scene to one climax after another. This time, Su Mucheng's sudden flash of brilliance had become a crucial turning point.

The second team's four players, disrupted and scattered, couldn't regain control of the situation. Under the combined offensive of Huang Shaotian and Zhou Zekai, Zhang Xinjie finally couldn't wait for reinforcements and became the third player on the second team to fall.

At this point, the situation was very clear.

Zhang Xinjie's cleric was the second team's greatest advantage. Now that they were outnumbered and had lost this advantage, it was hard to see any chance of victory.

The embarrassing part was that the first team hadn't lost a single player yet. If they could maintain this until the end, it would be a complete victory, which would be embarrassing for the second team's players.

However, since this was the All-Star Game, many people wouldn't take it too seriously at this point, unlike in a real match where the second team would definitely fight to the end.

However, the second team had Han Wenqing today. This old guy would never back down at any time.

Seeing this, the first team didn't want the second team's players to be too embarrassed in the end, so they also went head-to-head and fought randomly. In the end, the second team was completely wiped out, but the first team also lost three characters. A perfect victory didn't happen.

In the final coda, almost no one cared about winning or losing, and the fighting was more flashy. Although it didn't push the scene to another climax, it maintained the atmosphere. The applause finally reached its peak when Han Wenqing's Da Mo Guyan of the second team finally fell. Many of the first team's supporters stood up and shouted the names of the players they supported. Unsurprisingly, the sound of "Zhou Zekai" dominated.

"Old Han, that guy, is really fighting hard..." Yu Wenzhou muttered again. Han Wenqing fought hard until the very end. If the first team hadn't straightened their attitude at the end, they might have been devoured by this guy's outburst.

Amid the applause of the audience, the twelve players came down from the stage, and the All-Star players who had played in the individual and team arena matches returned to the center of the arena. The final score comparison was displayed on the screen, and the first team had won. The first team's supporters were overjoyed, while the second team's supporters knew what the All-Star Game was all about, but they still felt a bit sour in their hearts.

In the end, Zhou Zekai of Samsara, as the representative of all the All-Star players, accepted an interview once again. After all, it was their home ground, and they had to give him face.

In the end, he said nothing more than some polite words: the match was wonderful, the audience was enthusiastic, this All-Star Weekend was a success, and he hoped to participate again next time.

It took Zhou Zekai a lot of effort to say these words in his style. The basic mode was:

Was the match exciting?

"Mm."

Was the audience enthusiastic?

"Enthusiastic."

What do you think of this All-Star Weekend?

"Very successful."

What are your expectations for the next time?

"Can participate again."

The above...

The formal content ended, followed by some souvenir distribution activities, including signed souvenirs from star players. If it had been before, Chen Guo would have desperately tried to grab a signature from Su Mucheng. But now! Knowing Ye Xiu's identity, Chen Guo immediately felt a sense of superiority. Because she knew very well that with Ye Xiu's relationship, it wouldn't be difficult for her to get Su Mucheng's signature. So, her mood wasn't as urgent.

However, precisely because of Ye Xiu's relationship, their departure today wasn't so smooth. They were ambushed by a large group of reporters, who stuck their recording pens in their faces as soon as they saw them, naturally asking them about Ye Qiu's situation.

Chen Guo wanted to answer with "I don't know" to everything, but Tang Rou secretly stopped her, and then she took the initiative to step forward and politely answered the reporters' questions.

Hearing Tang Rou's answer, Chen Guo suddenly realized and sighed that she was really careless.

Answering with "I don't know" to everything was no different from "no comment," which obviously meant that they knew but just wouldn't say it. In that case, it was difficult to guarantee that the reporters wouldn't launch a follow-up in-depth investigation.

But Tang Rou's answer now didn't dismiss everything as unknown, but rather avoided the important and dwelled on the trivial. She just made up a little bit, saying that they didn't know that this person was Ye Qiu beforehand. They just happened to sit together and got to know each other as ordinary viewers.

This explanation was of course very credible. Not to mention just two ordinary viewers, even if Ye Qiu walked past them in front of these reporters, they would never know that this person was Ye Qiu.

Helpless, the reporters had to ask if they had taken any photos, which of course they hadn't. Then they asked them to describe Ye Qiu's appearance. This was where Chen Guo came into play. It wasn't that she was good at describing, but that she was also one of Ye Qiu's fans and had seen many versions of Ye Qiu's appearance circulating online. Now, she just picked one to talk about. The reporters heard it and felt that it matched some of the previous information, so they didn't have any more doubts.

Having successfully dealt with the reporters, they breathed a sigh of relief. However, Tang Rou was obviously more vigilant than Chen Guo. After leaving, she still kept an eye out for paparazzi following them. Seeing that there were no such people, she and Chen Guo returned to the hotel with peace of mind.

The All-Star Weekend had come to a successful conclusion. Ye Xiu, who hadn't gone out of the hotel, had already finished watching the broadcast and turned off the TV. When the two returned, he was lying on the computer playing games.

Chen Guo's excitement hadn't subsided so quickly. Now that she knew Ye Xiu's identity, she naturally insisted on hearing the comments of the god that she never thought she would be able to hear before.

"Su Mucheng's sudden performance was the key to the team's final victory," Ye Xiu said, picking a fact that Chen Guo would definitely like to hear. Sure enough, Chen Guo nodded her head excitedly, as if she had received the candy she wanted, and went to chat with Tang Rou with great satisfaction. They chatted until they felt sleepy, and then decisively sent Ye Xiu back to his room and turned off the lights to rest.

The next morning, after checking out of the hotel, the three were about to take a flight back. At the airport, Chen Guo looked around, trying to see if she could run into the people from the Excellent Era Club, who were definitely on the same route as them. Although Chen Guo didn't have a good impression of the club now, her love for Su Mucheng hadn't faded at all. As for whether she would hope that Excellent Era would win or lose in the future league, Chen Guo had begun to struggle with this question.

She hoped they would win, but she couldn't swallow the injustice for Ye Xiu; she hoped they would lose, but she felt that Su Mucheng, who was still in Excellent Era, was too pitiful.

"But with Excellent Era's current score this season, winning or losing doesn't matter anymore, right?" On the plane, Chen Guo finally found a way to escape.

"Yeah." Ye Xiu nodded from the side.

Excellent Era, after Sun Xiang joined, had gone through some twists and turns, but their current performance had improved, and their score on the leaderboard had begun to rise steadily. However, they had fallen too far behind earlier, and now, if they wanted to get back into the playoffs, it wasn't enough for them to work hard on their own. The teams in front of them had to have some topsy-turvy performances. The theoretical possibility of making it into the playoffs was currently negligible. The topics that excited Excellent Era fans more were things like next season and the future.

At this time, on the Internet, Glory fans were also focusing on discussing this All-Star Game. From the rookie challenge on the first day to the activities on the second day, to the All-Star Game on the third day, there were too many topics. When Ye Xiu and the others returned to Happy Internet Cafe, some of the regulars looked at Chen Guo and Tang Rou as if they were looking at heroes. They were all Glory fans, so of course they would watch the All-Star Weekend. The two beauties who showed their faces at the activities on the second day surprised everyone. The feeling of seeing someone you knew on the screen was quite magical.

Chen Guo accepted everyone's worship with peace of mind. After coming down from an altitude of eight thousand meters, her enthusiasm hadn't diminished at all. She immediately started chatting with some of the acquaintances in the internet cafe.

"Tang Meimei is so amazing! She can actually beat a pro player..." In fact, everyone was more concerned about Tang Rou. Ordinary players didn't have the same exaggerated thoughts as Tang Rou. Being able to win a round against a pro player was already considered amazing.

"Hahaha, my internet cafe is full of talent, of course." Chen Guo wasn't jealous either. She said very proudly, but when she said this, she glanced at Ye Xiu intentionally or unintentionally. Ye Xiu was already occupying a machine and concentrating on surfing the Internet, not joining their discussion at all. (To be continued.
