Chapter 63 - 2#

Although the evening is the real final, the people below the stage have obviously become excited.

Mo Xuzhi found his seat. After sitting down, he glanced at his phone and found that Shen Fang had not sent him any more messages. He guessed that they should have already started training with the coach, so he didn’t send any more messages.

Learning from yesterday’s lesson, he didn’t wear a shirt and long pants again but changed into a casual, loose white T-shirt. Coupled with the fact that it rained yesterday, the weather today is not hot, and the whole person is a lot more comfortable.

Next to him were still those energetic boys. As soon as Mo Xuzhi sat down, they leaned over, as if having a secret meeting, and whispered: “I’ll tell you—you know ‘Uncle’, right? I heard he’s right here near us.”

Mo Xuzhi was expressionless: “Is that so? Not very clear.”

“Yes, yes, that’s what others say.”

Mo Xuzhi nodded.

It seemed they still hadn’t gone to see the photos in the topic.

Fortunately, they hadn’t.

This afternoon’s game was obviously a lot higher than yesterday’s. The eight-into-five game in the afternoon had high energy frequently from the start, with constant reversals. Several teams each had “snake skin” movements and exhausted many people from the other side, but no team was wiped out, and the tug-of-war front line was gradually elongated.

Several people nearby looked very nervous, not even daring to move a bit, as if their own move would lose the game.

Mo Xuzhi was not as excited as them.

He’s not a professional e-sports player, but he could roughly see that this tug-of-war already had a trend of deciding the outcome by the time it was halfway through. Although TTK didn’t lose many people and their equipment couldn’t be said to be the best, the terrain they were in was very favorable.

Their starting place was not very good, so they could only scavenge all the way. Now it’s obviously reaching the ending stage.

The poison circle began to shrink, and other people outside the circle began to run into the poison circle. the risk encountered by everyone increased significantly.

The screen switched to Little Zhou’s perspective. Someone passed by Little Zhou, and their back was completely exposed.

He didn’t move.

The boy next to him was a bit anxious: “Hey, why isn’t he moving? That person is right opposite; he could just take him away with one shot, right?”

Having stalled for so long, if there were this one shot, they could directly lead.

Mo Xuzhi said: “There are people opposite.”

“Bang—”

As soon as the sound fell, a gunshot rang out. The person passing by Little Zhou was knocked down by someone lying in ambush on another piece of slope.

The audience hadn’t reacted yet when another gunshot followed. A silhouette suddenly appeared opposite and fired a shot at the person who had just fired on the other slope.

Then that person jumped off the cover, wanting to help up the teammate who was knocked down initially.

Little Zhou, who had been lurking without moving, quickly adjusted his posture and switched the scope, sniping at the opposite side.

That person was still going down the slope, and his posture was also very cautious, but Little Zhou was lying right opposite him. No matter how cautious he was, it had no effect at all.

Little Zhou fired a shot.

“Nice!!! R-God is awesome!!”

“Damn! There were actually people there just now!”

A strong burst of exclamation erupted at the scene instantly.

“Damn, brother, you’re awesome!” the boy next to him widened his eyes and said loudly, “How did you see there were people there!”

the scene was too noisy. To let others hear clearly, one had to shout loudly. Mo Xuzhi didn’t want to shout loudly and only pointed to his eyes.

The meaning he wanted to express was to watch more and speak less.

The boy seemed to understand his meaning and said: “Hey, as expected, my vision is not good enough.”

This person’s eyes were quite good-looking.

After a small wave of gunfights broke out on Little Zhou’s side, Shen Fang also cooperated with another teammate to directly blow up the team with only two people left in the house with a grenade.

Then the whole situation completely changed.

TTK, which had been developing steadily in the early stage, surged in ranking by violent output, and instantly dropped into the first place.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Now two teams have been eliminated. As long as one more team is sent away, TTK can steadily enter the top five and gain qualification.

Now TTK is still at full strength, not a single member lost. No matter how they play, they can win steadily.

Others were relieved, but the TTK people didn’t relax.

Their goal was never qualification, but first place.

A team with only one person left was eliminated, and all the remaining five teams gained qualification.

Other teams had more or less different degrees of loss. Only TTK was still full. After several raids, TTK obviously became the target of other teams.

Facing the four-sided siege, Shen Fang’s expression remained unchanged. After merging with Little Zhou, they broke through from the side with fewer people.

The sound of gunfire rang out behind them. the two began “snake skin” movements and finally went behind the cover to achieve a wave of counter-killing, merging with other teammates.

The development after the TTK teammates merged was easy to imagine.

This time, eight-into-five, TTK was still the first, and the “Best of Match” was given to Little Zhou.

Little Zhou was exceptionally fierce today, killing all the way. Shen Fang teamed up with others, all cooperating, and his performance was not as eye-catching as Little Zhou’s.

At the moment the game ended, the people on the stage took off their earphones, and the shouts instantly became overwhelming.

The TTK members still had the same smile as before, brilliant but not arrogant, with the vigor of young people.

the shouts didn’t die down even after they left the stage. It was clearly time for dinner, but not a single person left.

The phone vibrated. Mo Xuzhi looked down and saw a new message from Shen Fang.

He didn’t say anything else, just said he played very happily today, and then said the coach called him, and he would come to find him after the last round tonight.

Mo Xuzhi returned a sentence and then, while others were still excited there, took the lead in leaving the seat and exiting the venue.

Wang Zhifeng had specially sent a message just now saying he should eat on time, and also said he wanted to see what he ate tonight.

Seeing what he ate was just a front; he just wanted to check if he actually ate.

After exiting the venue, the night wind blew, and the whole person instantly became much cooler. Mo Xuzhi let out a breath and was just about to take off his hat when the reporters who had been squatting at the gate of the venue immediately came over with photographers.

It was a bit difficult to walk away quickly at this distance.

As expected, Mo Xuzhi stopped his hand wanting to take off the hat. Just after moving two steps to the side, the reporter was in front of him.

She held the microphone to him and said: “Hello sir, you are the first person to come out of the venue. May I ask what the result of this game was? How is your mood now?”

“TTK won,” Mo Xuzhi took a step back to be further away from the microphone and said, “my mood is average.”

The reporter was still enthusiastic and asked him: “Then what does the gentleman want to do most at this moment?”

Mo Xuzhi glanced at the time on the phone screen and said: “Eat.”

The reporter finally couldn’t ask anymore.

Mo Xuzhi said goodbye politely. Just then the green light lit up, and he crossed the zebra crossing.

After leaving the reporter, to satisfy Professor Wang’s curiosity, Mo Xuzhi specifically found a shop that looked very healthy, and then took a photo from a good angle and sent it to him.

Wang Zhifeng praised him.

Eating alone makes the appetite drop vertically. Mo Xuzhi ate a few bites of food, and finally, after really being unable to eat, paid and left the restaurant.

He went to the milk tea shop he had just visited yesterday and ordered the same milk tea as yesterday.

Shen Fang told him that the coach and manager had strictly controlled food these days, and milk tea and soda had not been touched for several days.

By the time Mo Xuzhi finished his meal and also bought milk tea and returned to the venue, he found that the whole place was still bustling, with no sign of wanting to go out for food.

The next round was the life-and-death championship game. Others didn’t have as good a mindset as Mo Xuzhi and couldn’t calm down. Most people didn’t go to eat and had been sitting here waiting.

The several boys nearby were also the same, gathered together and constantly chanting “bless TTK” for victory, looking like they had something.

Mo Xuzhi sat down and was forced to listen for a while, hearing them pray from God to Buddha, and then from Buddha to the Supreme Taoist Ancestor, praying to all kinds of gods and Buddhas.

He withdrew his gaze and was just about to take a sip of milk tea when he suddenly heard the sound coming from the stomach of the boy sitting next to him.

So Mo Xuzhi handed him the milk tea. The boy had tears in his eyes and said “Amitabha”.

Mo Xuzhi’s eyebrows twitched.

There was still some time before the game started. Mo Xuzhi had nothing to do and turned on his phone to start reading literature from recent years.

The literature documents were sent over after being organized by people from the Institute of Technology. Before that, they had been selected, and the remaining were all materials with reading significance.

Humanity progresses very fast, especially in high and new technology, which is being updated almost every moment. If you don’t want to fall back, you can only keep progressing, striving to keep up with others’ footsteps and then walk at the very front of everyone.

He will return to the Institute of Technology to continue working in one or two days. He cannot start catching up with the research progress of the institute after arriving there.

Having had a previous lesson, Mo Xuzhi brought earphones this time and had already tried them at home. As long as there was sound inside, the sound blocking effect was very good.

After reading literature quietly for more than half an hour, Mo Xuzhi looked up and saw that the staff had already started checking the computers on the stage, so he took off the earphones.

The venue had been very noisy before, but now it was uncharacteristically quiet.

Accompanied by the roar of the airplane, five teams from five countries appeared simultaneously.

Extra nonsense had already been said clearly in the backstage. Now all team members started debugging computers after finding their respective positions, with only occasional exchanges.

Shen Fang wore earphones, and the faint blue light of the computer illuminated most of his face.

Many people were looking at him.

He had said that this game was the last game of his professional career.

All teams announced that the debugging was completed, with no abnormalities.

The roar of the airplane ended, followed by the sound of bullets that seemed to truly hit people’s hearts.

The countdown to the game began.

“Ten”

“Nine”

…

“Three”

“Two”

“One!”

The game started.

Most of the audience on the field were keeping an eye on the situation of the TTK members at all times.

For now, everyone looked okay and not overly nervous.

Like the last round, the five teams were well-versed in the strategy of “lying low,” avoiding conflicts and losing their own side in the early stage.

But this round continued the style of the last round. The other teams realized that they couldn’t let TTK develop and had been starting to target them subtly.

Their targeting also had an effect. Compared to other teams, TTK’s development was obviously much slower.

This was very disadvantageous for the follow-up.

The audience below the stage all broke into a cold sweat.

The boy next to Mo Xuzhi, who had been talking non-stop, had not spoken since he cursed the other teams for targeting.

Afterward, two teams caught them in a pincer attack, and TTK was the first to have a member eliminated.

The scene was uncharacteristically quiet.

“No hurry, circle around from the right. There are at most two people there, and they don’t have weapons that kill with one shot. Little Zhou, don’t move after you come down from the slope. Act after you see they’ve fired at least three shots.”

Shen Fang’s eyes were on the screen, cold sweat had wetted his hair, but he didn’t even frown, his voice was also very steady. Other teammates also steadied their mentality and began to break through slowly.

The person on the stage now and the person in the backstage who couldn’t even speak clearly before seemed like two completely different people.

He had become much more steady, but still had the sense of craziness from that year in high school.

He had always been very crazy when playing this game, and had done many things like putting all his eggs in one basket. It’s just that he had restrained a lot after turning professional, and the craziness was not obvious.

The screen just happened to cut to Shen Fang. Mo Xuzhi knew what he was going to do as soon as he saw his expression.

The subsequent development was like a dream.

Two places ambushed in the grass, a small hillside. Before the audience below the stage could react to what exactly had happened, the situation had quietly changed.

TTK frequently adopted a decentralized mode, but not too scattered. They would quickly merge at any sign of movement, and disperse quickly as well, taking several waves of heads by pretending to be alone.

After Shen Fang picked up a 98K while looting, the situation instantly changed.

What Uncle was good at was the 98K. Shen Fang also started using this kind of gun and developed it into his own signature weapon.

After the poison circle began, it was TTK’s turnaround moment.

The headwind turned into a tailwind, and then TTK directly took off. Shen Fang started to go around the field with the 98K, killing wherever he went.

After finding the last enemy hiding quietly in the house, Shen Fang didn’t choose to take a gun, but threw a smoke grenade and quickly closed the door.

The last survivor was left in the house.

The game ended.

TTK won.

“Ah ah ah ah ah ah——!!!”

“TTK is awe—some——!!”

“Auntie is handsome!!!”

At the moment the “Game Over” popped up on the screen, the TTK members instantly took off their earphones and stood up, hugging each other excitedly, their faces and necks flushed.

“Damn it, we won!!!”

Little Zhou roared: “Indeed worthy of me not touching soda for a week!”

At the same time the game ended, the lights brightened.

The people below the stage stood up, some directly hugged each other. Mo Xuzhi also stood up and clapped with others.

The atmosphere at the scene was jubilant.

The phone vibrated a few times.

Mo Xuzhi took out his phone and took a look, then lowered his head and returned a short message, handing the milk tea in his hand to the boy next to him.

He asked the boy to hand over the milk tea to Shen Fang when he came to find him later.

The boy was full of hot blood, plus he had drunk a cup of milk tea from Mo Xuzhi before, so he agreed very readily.

Other teammates stood up, and Shen Fang also stood up.

He slowly put down the earphones, let out a breath of stale air, and then looked up at that seat he had already looked at many, many times.

In an instant.

All sounds faded, and the cheers were left behind.

Shen Fang’s expression gradually solidified.

There was already no one in that seat.
