Chapter 175: Chen Xiao
The list of the top eight of the Masters was soon on the official website. The top news broke the number of clicks exceeded 100 million as soon as it was released, which shows how many players are following this Masters.
Among the players who entered the quarterfinals, Uncle Fat and Yunxiao were polite. The four Xingguang players have a 100% winning rate so far. Nine-life Cats, Headless Generals, and the vegetation are the rulings. The reserve players of Ghost Prison and Fenghua Club have a winning rate of up to 99%, and have only lost one game. The reserve player in Liushuang City was too lucky in the quarterfinals and was eliminated by Chen Xiao after qualifying for the second place in the group. Ke Xiaoke, who was not favored, unexpectedly entered the quarterfinals.
When the quarterfinals are reached, the players will receive a basic bonus of at least 20,000 crystal coins. Yu Ke is very happy. Regardless of whether he can win in the next game, he will get at least 20,000 crystal coins. This is the first money he has made since childhood.
At 8:00 p.m. on February 1, the first game of the quarterfinals officially started.
Ke Xiaoke vs. courteous.
Netizens are not unfamiliar with Ke Xiaoke. At the Imperial Capital University freshman exchange competition, Yu Ke's novel ghost cards once attracted the attention of many netizens, and a big anchor broadcasted the game live. However, there were only a limited number of people watching the live broadcast at that time, and it was completely incomparable to the quarter-finals of today's National Masters. This was the first time Yu Ke officially showed up on such a big occasion.
When I saw this little boy, who was over 1.6 meters tall, appeared, and those who didn't know him were a little confused: "Where did the elementary school student come from?" "What a small one, has he grown up?" "It looks like he was on the wrong set!"
Ye Binbin is quite tall, more than 1.8 meters tall, and the contrast between Yu Ke standing with him is too clear. Yu Ke has to raise his neck to look at him.
I thought I would be despised by the other party, but I didn't expect Ye Binbin had a good temper and greeted Yu Ke with a smile: "Hello, I have long admired Daming."
Yu Ke didn't expect that he was so famous and said flattered: "Hello!"
Ye Binbin is indeed as his name is, very polite. The two of them sat down on their respective rotating chairs and put on their helmets to enter the game.
The backstage, the preparation area is waiting, there are comfortable sofas for players to rest, and there are also large screens and live broadcasts on the field.
Chen Xiao and Xie Mingzhe occupied a private room in advance and sat together to watch the game. Seeing this, Chen Xiao leaned into Xie Mingzhe's ear and said, "I don't think Xiao Ke's chances of winning are great, and this Ye Binbin is very calm."
Xie Mingzhe nodded: "After all, he has practiced with Pei Jingshan for a whole year, and his Curse Stream Deck is very distinctive, and Xiao Ke may not be able to deal with it."
Chen Xiao said: "The way of playing the talisman stream is also quite novel, let's take a closer look later."
At the beginning of the game, Yu Ke chose the picture in the first game. He chose the negative state chart of the Ghost Prison Club "Dark Castle". He wanted to rely on the advantage of the dim light in the scene to allow Hei Wuchang to collect more people and accumulate marks.
Ye Binbin played very calmly and grasped the card's positioning with great precision. His cards were all long-range cards. When Yu Ke released the card that Nie Xiaoqian wanted to teleport and kill him, he suddenly retreated and quickly evacuated the attack range, causing Nie Xiaoqian's skills to be empty.
Yu Ke realized that this person was very powerful and was even more excited. He chased and beat the opponent without hesitation.
However, as he played, he found that Nie Xiaoqian could not play a flexible advantage at all - because of the existence of the talisman.
There is a card in Ye Binbin's deck called "Status". This card can paste a purple spell with a strange pattern onto the designated card, so that the card can't be moved for 3 seconds.
Since the cooldown time of the amulet is very short, only 10 seconds, Ye Binbin can control the amulet to fix Yu Ke's key cards many times, completely disrupting Yu Ke's offensive rhythm.
Nie Xiaoqian was determined several times in a row, but Hei Wuchang could not harvest it smoothly. Yu Ke's deck's power was not exerted at all. It felt like he was hitting a punch into the pile of cotton.
Yu Ke lost very quickly in the first game. Xie Mingzhe, who was watching the game in the backstage, couldn't help but say, "Ye Binbin, this is also a way of playing in the displacement control field? However, his amulet is to fix the opponent's card, and my Zhu Bajie is to carry the opponent's card. The usage is different, but the essence is similar, and the opponent's rhythm is disrupted by controlling the displacement."
Chen Xiao thought to himself: "This newcomer has a good consciousness. If he joins the team battle in the Dark Night Capital next season, and cooperates with Ye Zhu's tracking of Butterflies and Pei Jingshan's Guworm outbreak, he can almost make one or one to kill."
The Dark Night City did not perform well in the team battle in the tenth season, but the Ye Pei group won the prize in the doubles competition, because there are only two first-line players in this club, Ye Zhu and Pei Jingshan, and the other players are of average strength. However, Ye Binbin, who appeared in this Masters, made Chen Xiao and Xie Mingzhe look at each other with admiration. The addition of this newcomer will definitely improve the sluggishness of the Dark Night City team battle.
Yu Ke encountered this kind of playing method of using the "fixion talisman" to control the opponent's displacement. He wanted to remove the opponent's immobilization talisman in seconds, but every time his core card just acted, he would always be fixed by the opponent's quick and quick hand, which was so annoying.
In melee battles, he can't get close to him at all. Yu Ke is extremely crazy and wants to get into the game and directly pk.
The second game was delayed for 10 minutes, and Yu Ke was finally controlled by the opponent's "Sleeping Talisman" in a critical team battle and lost the game.
0:2 Losing to Ye Binbin, Yu Ke was very dissatisfied. When he returned to the backstage after the game, he was still complaining: "This Ye Binbin is so annoying. His amulet cooling time is very short. He is immobilized once in 10 seconds, and it lasts for 3 seconds, which can almost be seamless!"
"This kind of play that relies on fixed-control to control displacement is indeed advantageous when encountering decks with multiple melee battles. It is more difficult to play long-range cards. You should throw Meng Po's forgetfulness skills to Nie Xiaoqian, so that she can't get rid of the immobilization control once, and then turn on the phantom, and cooperate with Hei Wuchang to quickly remove the opponent's immobilization talisman in seconds." Chen Xiao patiently guided Yu Ke, "It's normal for you to not react to this kind of play for the first time, and you will do it in the future."
"Oh yes, if Meng Po's skills are given to his teammates, you can forget all control and damage. It was too chaotic just now and didn't react." Yu Ke suddenly realized and looked at Chen Xiao in admiration and said, "Brother Chen, you will definitely win when you meet him. I have no chance. Come on!"
Yu Ke was stopped in the quarterfinals and could only get a reward of 20,000 crystal coins, but he was already very satisfied with this result. After all, he was facing reserves from major clubs and had formal training.
He is looking forward to Brother Chen and Azhe going further.
The second game of the quarter-finals was a showdown between Starlight vs Headless General, the reserve players of the two clubs, Temple of the Gods and Ghost Prison, and the game was also very exciting. In the end, Zhou Xingchen, who id "Starlight", relied on the advantage of high output from the gold-type critical card, defeated his opponent 2:1 and entered the semi-finals.
So far, there are only two seats left in the semi-finals.
The next quarter-final will be held at 8 pm the next day.
February 2, 8:00 pm.
When Xie Mingzhe and Chen Xiao came to the competition venue, they were shocked by the scene - it was just the quarter-finals of the Masters, and the scene was crowded, almost comparable to the official professional league!
Many fans held cheering posters of "Come on Uncle Fat". A girl even drew a Q-version image of the fat uncle, which was particularly kind and friendly, raised it high and shaking, obviously giving the fat uncle encouragement.
There are also some joking Q-version slogans: "Don't worry, Uncle Fat, we are not superficial fans, and we won't care about your appearance!" "No matter how fat you are, we still love you!" "What we like is your talent, not your weight!" "Fat is so cute, fat people are the most blessed!"
Xie Mingzhe: "..."
If you do this, you will be slapped in the face later? Uncle Fat is actually quite thin...
Chen Xiao smiled and said, "It seems that your fans have come a lot today."
Xie Mingzhe rubbed his temples with a headache: "What I am worried about is that after seeing me later, will they smash the poster in my face?"
Chen Xiao said seriously: "It's possible."
Xie Mingzhe shrank his neck and came to the backstage preparation area silently.
At about eight o'clock, the first game started on time - above the sky vs. grass and forests.
Compared to Uncle Fat, neither of these two players are very famous. Since Yunxiao is the vice president of the Nirvana Guild, the Nirvana players and Uncle Fat fans who came to the scene also cheered him on friendly terms.
Unexpectedly, the man who walked onto the big stage was actually very handsome.
Chen Xiao was wearing a formal dress today. He was wearing a warm light gray shirt on his upper body and a pair of black trousers with appropriate tailoring on the lower body, which made his legs look straight and long. The leather shoes on his feet were spotless and dressed in an urban elite man, looking very refreshing and capable.
He walked forward and shook hands with the other person with a very graceful look.
The grass and trees are newcomers to Fenghua Club. Tang Muzhou has long said hello to him who his opponent is today, so he was not surprised to see Chen Xiao, but he was a little nervous and stuttered: "Chan, Brother Chen, I am a fan of Lin Shen, is Lin Shen okay?"
Chen Xiao smiled slightly and said, "Thank you for liking my brother, he is very good."
The man's smile happened to be captured by the photographer on the scene and was enlarged in the live broadcast screen.
The audience stared at his smiling face blankly, and after a while, many girls screamed: "So handsome!" "My God, is this handsome above the sky?!" "He smiled so charmingly!" "This appearance can definitely rank in the top ten in professional cards!"
Everyone sighed at his appearance.
And the professional alliance group was already in chaos at this time.
Seeing Chen Xiao appear, Ling Jingtang couldn't help but say, "I just said that the person who has been using the Dark Plant Card has a very good origin. He is actually Chen Xiao! He hasn't seen him for a few years, and there has been a lot of changes."
Zheng Feng said: "I can't recognize you anymore. Is this Chen Qianlin's younger brother, little Chen Xiao?"
Shan Lan said: "It's him. I remember that he played a single game for a short time in the fifth season and lost dozens of games in a row. Later, because he was not good at the game, he went back to school. Why did he suddenly run back now?"
Nie Yuandao proposed a key point: "Chen Xiao is back, where is his brother Chen Qianlin?"
After a while of silence in the group, Nie Yuandao simply asked Tang Muzhou to come out and answer: "@Tang Muzhou, your master is back too? You should know the most about this matter?"
Tang Muzhou pretended to be dead...
Zheng Feng followed closely and said, "Xiao Tang, Chen Xiao and Uncle Fat are from the same team. Is the dark plant card he made with your master to guide him? Come out and tell me, do you know if you are frank or not?"
Ling Jingtang echoed: "You'd better give honest advice. Or do you want everyone to torture you?"
Tang Muzhou continued to pretend to be dead.
Chen An had no choice but to come out cleverly to help his master: "My master went to bed, and he didn't know about this, so don't scold him."
Zheng Feng: "Xiao An, your lying level is so bad! Who doesn't know that Tang Muzhou likes to sleep in the afternoon and is extremely energetic at night? You might as well say that he has gone to take a shower next time."
Chen An immediately changed his words: "Yes, yes, yes, I remembered wrongly, he went to take a shower!"
Everyone: "..."
Tang Muzhou: “…”
The little apprentice was simply a teammate of the pig. Tang Muzhou had no choice but to stand up and said, "Well, I just came back from the shower. I only knew that Chen Xiao was above Yunxiao not long ago. As for the matter of Master... he rarely told me, and I don't know much."
The people in the group obviously didn't believe it, and everyone continued to watch the game live broadcast with doubts.
The commentator tonight was officially assigned by the official, both of them were experienced old commentators. For this reason, the two recognized Chen Xiao at the first time. The female commentator opened her eyes in surprise: "This... is Chen Xiao? Is Chen Qianlin's younger brother?"
The male commentator said: "That's right! It does contain the player's information. The name above Yunxiao is Chen Xiao, Lin Shen's younger brother!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a row of barrage appeared in the live broadcast room-
"Is it the rookie brother who lost 50 consecutively?" "After a few years, I don't know if his level has improved, so don't embarrass Lin Shen!" "I remember he signed the Holy Land?" "Why is he back after five years!" "He has a good record in this Masters. So far, the 100% winning rate should be hard-working for a while, and then he made a comeback?" "I'm so embarrassed to come back, I'm so thick-skinned!"
Most netizens who know Chen Xiao started to swear without hesitation. Some newcomers who have been in contact with games in recent years do not know Chen Xiao’s past. They immediately searched for his past experiences, and then they felt that... this man had a handsome appearance, and it was really a good thing to play games. He was terrible when Tang Muzhou abused him for two consecutive games.
Is he so embarrassed to come back? Was he suddenly enlightened, or was he shameless to show his presence again?
Netizens were puzzled.
***
Sanctuary Club.
After hearing this news, Shao Bo jumped up from the sofa, with a look of horror: "What? Chen Xiao? Didn't he just terminate the contract with our Holy Land a few months ago?!"
The player manager also looked ugly: "Mr. Shao, his trumpet is above Yunxiao. He just appeared in the quarter-finals of the Masters, so I remember to come to you in a hurry. Previously, our data masters specifically analyzed the data of this Masters contestant. The comprehensive potential above Yunxiao... is ranked first."
Shao Bo's brow frowned into the word "Chuan" and murmured: "Impossible! This is absolutely impossible." He paved back and forth in the office with a calm face, and then said, "Is it because the data master made a mistake? How could his potential be the first? Aren't he a rookie who lost continuously in games?"
The contestant manager reminded: "That was five years ago."
A simple sentence made Shao Bo's face turn pale in an instant.
That's right, that was five years ago. A boy less than 18 years old had lost in individual games, losing dozens of games in a row, and finally gave up the path of professional players and went back to school. Now, Chen Xiao, who had already graduated from college and grew up, is no longer the boy he used to be.
Five years is enough to make a person change.
