Chapter 181 The Navy
The 11th Masters final turned into a Nirvana Civil War. The speed of this news spread was like a hurricane passing through. Everyone in the Star Card circle knew it overnight, including Shao Bo, the owner of the Sanctuary Club.
A few days ago, when Chen Xiao showed up in the eight-to-four game, Shao Bo kept paying attention to Chen Xiao's game. The more he looked, the more he felt something was wrong. In two consecutive games, Chen Xiao won the right way and attracted countless fans. He could not find the shadow of the boy at the time.
What's going on? Did you read it wrong, or was Chen Xiao deliberately pretending back then?
The latter is obviously more likely. Thinking of Chen Xiao’s new contract with the Holy Realm, he returned to the Masters with a brand new identity and re-registered as a professional player, this was completely premeditated! Shao Bo opened his eyes wide open, punched his desk and said to his subordinates: “There is definitely a problem with Chen Xiao suddenly became so powerful! What he has been doing in the past few years? Find out for me as soon as possible!”
My subordinates immediately went to check and found that Chen Xiao had been attending school honestly in recent years and had no record of logging in to the game. The small account "Above the Clouds" was officially registered in September this year after the contract was terminated, and it had nothing to do with the Sanctuary Club.
All the cards he made were all after termination of the contract with the Holy Realm. Even if Shao Bo suspected that he had a problem, he could not find any evidence at all! Of course, Shao Bo couldn't swallow this. Even if there was no evidence, it was not easy to smear a player. Shao Bo immediately found a public relations company and invited a large number of naval troops to blackmail Chen Xiao.
On February 7, one day before the final of the Masters, some strange remarks suddenly appeared on the Internet-
"Chen Xiao's personality changed drastically, just like a different person!" "Will the person who lost 50 games in a row suddenly become a master of original cards? Anyway, I don't believe it!" "Chen Xiao must have deliberately concealed his strength and deliberately lost the game, and asked the Professional League to conduct a thorough investigation!" "@Star Card Professional League, Chen Xiao openly violated the player's code, is the league ignored it?"
At this time, the official Sanctuary Club also issued an announcement expressing grievance: "Chen Xiao was originally a signing player in our Sanctuary. In the past five years, we have given him the best resources and conditions to train him carefully. He said that he did not have the talent to play games and wanted to go back to class. We respected his choice with considerateness and paid him a salary as usual. Unexpectedly, he had been hiding his strength and deceived us. As soon as the signing time came, he terminated the contract with Sanctuary and returned to the league. He also said that he did not have the talent to compete? Can he make it to the finals without talent? We are really sad to deceive the club's feelings like this."
When netizens saw the statement of the Holy Realm, they didn't know how to take the team. After all, everyone didn't know what the inside story was. According to the description of the Holy Realm, Chen Xiao was the "obscene wolf" who occupied club resources and ran away immediately after the contract expired.
Xie Mingzhe was so angry that he laughed when he saw this statement. He ran to the dormitory next door to find Chen Xiao, turned on his brain and looked at the announcement of the top of the Holy Land, and said, "Brother Chen, I guess this Shao Bo will not let you go easily. Tomorrow is the finals. He asked a large number of naval troops to deliberately blackmail you. This is to pour a bucket of dirty water on you before your popularity is still unstable, which will affect your mentality in the finals. It's so shameless!"
Chen Xiao sat on the sofa and said calmly: "If you want to influence me with this trick, he underestimated me too much."
Xie Mingzhe asked nervously: "What are you going to do about this matter? They have hired too many naval troops, and public opinion is very unfavorable to you!"
Chen Xiao thought about it carefully, then smiled a little, and whispered in Xie Mingzhe's ear: "I'll do something straightforward."
After saying that, he used his brain to log in to his personal homepage and issued a statement very seriously-
"There are some malicious speculations about me on the Internet. I have asked my lawyer to take a screenshot of evidence and submit it to the court. @天天地 Club, please pay attention to your words. First, the attached picture contains the check-in records of my class in school in the past few years. I have never enjoyed the so-called "best resources and conditions" of your club. 365 days a year, and I spent no more than 5 days at your club. Second, Mr. Shao sent me some living expenses every month for my brother's sake. The attached picture shows the bank statements in recent years. On the day of the contract termination, I asked my lawyer to return all the living expenses to the Sanctuary Club, and there is a remittance record as evidence. Say I am lying to you with hidden strength? Please provide evidence. Smearing without evidence is not the style that a club should have. This malicious speculation has caused great damage to my reputation. If you don't say much nonsense, we will see you in court."
Xie Mingzhe: "..."
Seeing this statement, he could only give Brother Chen a thumbs up to pay tribute.
The fans who were still watching were also shocked - Brother Chen is so tough! He actually sued the Holy Land directly?!
Shao Bo never expected Chen Xiao to be so decisive and straightforward. In his impression, Chen Qianlin's younger brother Chen Xiao always revolved around his brother like a little fan. He had no opinion and was particularly easy to cheat. At that time, he only used "let you play a double match with your brother" to make Chen Xiao happily sign the copyright buyout contract...
How could such a stupid person suddenly bit her back? She caught Shao Bo off guard.
The screenshots of the evidence listed by Chen Xiao are clear, and the class records and bank statements are enough to show that he has never enjoyed the "good treatment" of the Sanctuary. He terminated the contract when the time expires, and he also cleared all the accounts. On the contrary, the Sanctuary's statement that the Sanctuary, which was slapped in the face of Chen Xiao's evidence, was simply untenable.
Now that I am deleting the announcement is confirmed, I feel guilty, but I won’t delete it. This announcement is indeed inappropriate... The way of issuing the announcement just now was really too impulsive. I didn’t expect Chen Xiao’s counterattack to be so fierce!
He won't really sue him in court, right? Shao Bo's head was about to be bald, but now he's really bald. He called his assistant with a headache and asked the public relations team to deal with this matter quickly.
But I didn’t know that a lawyer happened to send a message from Chen Xiao: “The announcement of the Holy Land has been taken to collect evidence. They asked the navy to smear you. I also asked someone to find the evidence. When will I prosecute it?”
Chen Xiao said happily: "Tomorrow is the final. I will sue after the game. Thank you, senior."
Lawyer Zhang smiled and said, "You have asked me to keep paying attention to the movements of the Holy Realm. I had expected that the Holy Realm would be unable to calm down, right? The process of collecting evidence this time was very smooth. Shao Bo will fall into a serious blow in your hands."
Chen Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly, and a sharp look flashed in his eyes: "He thought I was still the child he lets bully, but he forgot that five years is enough to make a person reborn."
Chen Xiao has been holding on to his life without his brother in the past few years.
He didn't move the money he gave him when his brother left, and he didn't spend any of the so-called "living expenses" that Shao Bo gave him. He worked to make money while completing his studies, and with guilt, he pushed himself to the limit. If he couldn't grow rapidly in such an environment, it would be that his IQ was a problem.
He became good at calculating and disguising. He could shake hands with Shao Bo and terminate the contract with him with a smile, and then wait for the opportunity to stab the other person hard in the back - he was no longer the simple, silly Chen Xiao back then.
Xie Mingzhe looked at Chen Xiao’s complicated face, sighed softly, pressed his shoulder hard, and said, “Brother Chen, it’s all over. I can understand your difficulties before, but if I have me in the future, I will never bully you. It’s better to learn to be honest in the Holy Land. If you dare to act in the future, we might as well destroy their club!”
Chen Xiao felt warm and smiled and said, "It's okay, I can handle this matter well. You can go back and rest quickly."
Xie Mingzhe said seriously: "If you need my help, just say it."
Chen Xiao nodded and after seeing Xie Mingzhe off, he knocked on the door of Chen Qianlin's dormitory next door again nervously.
The door opened quickly. Chen Qianlin had just finished taking a shower and was wearing pajamas. His fair skin was faintly visible on the collar, and he had a trace of water vapor on his body. His pupils, which were originally light in color, were crystal clear under the mist of water vapor, like a beautiful gem washed by water.
Chen Xiao still didn't dare to look at his brother's eyes. Seeing him having just taken a shower, Chen Xiao's breathing immediately became rapid. He quickly turned his head and looked away from Chen Qianlin, and whispered: "Brother, cough, haven't you been asleep yet?"
Chen Qianlin asked lightly: "What's the matter with me?"
Chen Xiao touched his face and said calmly: "It's nothing. I just tell you that after the game, I will sue the Sanctuary and ask them to compensate for mental losses. According to the number of clicks they announced, the compensation will not be low. Of course, the compensation is secondary, and the main thing is to kill them and kill them, so that they can less bother me in the future."
Chen Qianlin looked at the man with his head down in front of him and his expression was cramped. No matter how tough and decisive he was in front of his fans, he was still the unconfident brother in front of him.
Thinking of his childhood, he kept circling around him, Chen Qianlin couldn't help but sigh, stretched out his hand and patted his shoulder, encouraging him: "Nirvana means starting over. Only by completely letting go of the past can your mentality be truly stable. I have seen your statement, and this time I did a good job. Regarding Shao Bo, I will only treat him as an irrelevant passerby in the future. It is better to pay more attention to his teammates."
My brother's understanding made Chen Xiao immediately restore his fighting spirit, and he raised his head and said, "I know! I will teach him a lesson this time. I think he will not be troubled again in the future. As long as he doesn't bother me, I will not bother him."
Chen Qianlin smiled rarely: "Go back and go to bed early, and you should also cheer up tomorrow's game with Xiao Xie."
Chen Xiao was in a good mood and had a beautiful dream after going back. He woke up the next day and felt refreshed and was not affected by the navy at all.
Yu Ke poured him a glass of milk early in the morning and actively ran over to comfort him: "Brother Chen, just ignore those naval troops. I opened a small trumpet so that they didn't dare to speak. Haha, the combat power was not good at all!" Qin Xuan also took the initiative to come over and said: "Brother Chen doesn't have to be angry with the villain."
Chen Xiao felt warm, hugged the shoulders of the two teammates and said, "Thank you, this is not a big deal, I didn't take it seriously. But in tonight's game, do you support me or Azhe?"
Qin Xuan and Yu Ke looked at each other with a very embarrassed expression.
Finally, Yu Ke said wisely: "Support Brother Chen with his left hand and Azhe with his right hand! The palms and backs of his hands are fleshy, so it's too difficult to choose. Anyway, I only know that the champion is our nirvana!"
Xie Mingzhe came over and said, "Let's do it like this, and the trophys for the champion and runner-up are placed in the display cabinet where our Nirvana Club enters. It's the same for everyone to win. However, the winners are higher and they must treat them to dinner. Can Brother Chen?"
Chen Xiao simply said: "No problem!"
The competition will be held at 8 o'clock in the evening. Logically speaking, the two of them should be under great pressure. After all, when they reach this point, everyone wants to win the championship. But at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the two of them are still fighting in the arena, looking as if nothing happened, and training like they usually do.
Xie Mingzhe was unsure about tonight's game, so he might as well relax completely. As long as he performs at his level, isn't it the same to win the championship and runner-up?
According to his daily record, Chen Xiao beat him 6 wins in 10 games. The key is that Chen Xiao has been in contact with this game for longer than him and has a deeper understanding of the game than him. His rapid progress during this period is due to the guidance of his master and the help of his senior brother. However, strictly speaking, he has only been playing this game for half a year, and his experience and consciousness cannot be compared with Chen Xiao.
But he also has an advantage.
Because he has been in the game for a short time, his thinking is much more flexible. He is good at breaking old rules and finding new tactics, and his cards are not bound by existing routines. Chen Ge's style is more violent, and Xie Mingzhesheng is flexible and changeable. If he really wants to win, he may start from this aspect and see how to restrain Chen Ge's "multi-core critical hit stream" plant deck.
Xie Mingzhe did not want to expose too many card pools in the Masters' civil war, so he only matched the limited decks and loose cards. He found some solutions to deal with Brother Chen. Whether it would work can only be confirmed by waiting for the final tonight.
At six o'clock in the evening, all the staff of Nirvana Club came to the venue in advance after dinner.
Today's venue was even more lively than usual. In addition to Xie Mingzhe's fans still holding up strange cheering slogans, Chen Xiao's fans also occupied a large venue, holding up a huge poster of "Welcome Brother Chen to Return". The fans who both liked simply raised the giant badge of the Nirvana Guild and supported the two contestants at the same time.
After the live commentator excitedly introduced them, Chen Xiao and Xie Mingzhe appeared at the same time.
The two stood side by side on the big stage, and the picture was so pleasing to the eye.
Chen Xiao is handsome and mature, elegant; Xie Mingzhe is young and energetic, sunny and handsome. Before the start of the competition, the other contestants would keep a distance politely. They were good, standing on the big stage and chatting together. After the chat, they hugged and encouraged each other, and then walked back to the rotating chair and sat down, and put on a helmet.
Once they put on their helmets, they became opponents who know each other best.
The commentator said excitedly: "Dear audiences, the finals of the 11th National Master Invitational Tournament are about to begin! The two contestants are all from the Nirvana Guild. They are ready. Let us cheer them up with warm applause!"
There was thunderous applause at the scene, and Chen Xiao and Xie Mingzhe, wearing helmets, were already focused on the competition.
The system connects the player data, and the two are automatically loaded into the competition room. Chen Xiao draws the lottery blue, and the first game finally officially begins!
Chapter completed!
