"Captain Liu, may I ask, was the pre-match analysis the reason why your team members took that spot?"
"Captain Liu, can you tell us exactly how many high-grade talismans that particularly handsome Talisman Master in your team has bought?"
"Captain Liu, isn't it a bit inappropriate to use high-level talismans to win a match?"
"Do you have anything to say about your team's success in entering the top thirty-five in the regional zone?"
"Captain Liu …"
"Captain Liu!"
A group of reporters swarmed into the post-match press conference.
Some were from Hundred Blossoms City, some were from Yuanshan City, and this time, there were even a few reporters from other places.
Don't look at how there were only two matches, but the team they lost wasn't weak either.
Entering the top thirty-five in the regional zone was already an incredible honor for a first year team from a Level Three city.
According to convention, the first to be interviewed should be the team that lost the match.
But these reporters couldn't care less. Giving comfort to the losers, respecting the losers … that was all bullshit.
The losers would immediately pack up and go home. Who would care about their emotions?
Even the reporters from Yuanshan City swarmed over anxiously, each asking their own questions.
Liu Zhiyuan stood there calmly, facing all sorts of questions. Some were friendly, some were not, and some were especially unfriendly. His face didn't show any emotion.
Just like Shan Gu said, Liu was probably born to do this.
Liu Zhiyuan waited until the reporters' questions were a little quieter. He raised his arms slightly and pressed his hands down lightly.
"Everyone, quiet down. The questions have to be answered one by one. Don't worry, I promise to answer your questions. But for now, shouldn't we let Yuanshan City's team be interviewed first? "
Liu Zhiyuan revealed a faint smile. It wasn't arrogant, nor was it arrogant. It was a very gentle smile.
The reporters finally quieted down a bit.
He Tianyu glanced at Liu Zhiyuan next to him, his heart filled with complicated emotions.
To be honest, even though they both came from a Level Three city, he had completely looked down on this first year team from Hundred Blossoms.
Pre-match analysis? Of course there was!
Moreover, they had professional analysts!
They basically understood the situation of the 13 canyons.
But in He Tianyu's opinion, no matter how good a pre-match analysis was, it was not as good as on-the-spot command on the battlefield.
This time, it was supposed to be the leader who came to attend the post-match press conference, but he took the initiative to come.
If they failed, someone would have to bear the responsibility.
Even though not many people would blame this group of young high school students, He Tianyu still felt that he should stand up.
No one asked them a question.
Actually, there was.
But most of those questions were accusations.
Throughout the match, other than that moment of relaxation, He Tianyu's team's performance was fine.
Therefore, it was better not to blame him.
They would definitely learn from this lesson in the future.
"Let me say a few words." He Tianyu took a deep breath. He wanted to be as calm and collected as this captain of Hundred Blossoms High School, but facing this sea of reporters, he was still a little nervous.
"The main reason we lost this match is because of me."
He took on all the responsibilities first.
"We underestimated the enemy."
"I often remind myself that the situation on the battlefield can change in an instant. We can't ever think that the enemy isn't as smart as us."
"That kind of thinking is very stupid!"
"But unfortunately, we still made this mistake."
"In reality, even at the last moment, we still had a chance to turn the tables, but unfortunately, we still lost. We are already a group of high school students. After this match, it will be the college entrance exams, and then we will most likely go our separate ways. "
When He Tianyu said this, his expression was a little sad.
The reporters in the stadium also felt a little sour in their hearts.
"It's really regrettable this time, but a loss is a loss …" He Tianyu revealed a self-mocking smile and suddenly turned to Liu Zhiyuan.
"Captain Liu, please go back and pass a message to classmate Shirō Makino. Tell him that I apologize for underestimating him and provoking him at the talisman supplies store. Haha, back then I wanted to mess with his mind, but who would have thought … The one who messed up was me. He's very outstanding. Every member of your team is very outstanding! And you guys are just in your first year of high school. Your future will definitely be even further! I wish you all the best! "
As he said this, he stretched out a hand to Liu Zhiyuan.
At this time, some people in the stadium applauded.
Not arrogant in victory, not discouraged in defeat, open-minded, daring to bear and face.
This captain is quite good!
Liu Zhiyuan also stretched out his hand and shook He Tianyu's hand.
Then, He Tianyu stood up, bowed to the crowd, and turned to leave.
At the moment when he turned, his eyes could not help but glisten with tears.
Everyone watched He Tianyu as he left.
After a moment of silence, the group of reporters suddenly looked at Liu Zhiyuan fiercely.
The loser has left, so it's time for you to answer the question, right?
Liu Zhiyuan looked at the group of people below, smiled and nodded, then said, "About the seizing position, yes, that's the result of our analysis before the match. And we analyzed countless possibilities at that time. Then, we chose the most likely one. "
"Sorry to interrupt, but won't this distract the team members? What they really need to face is the ever-changing situation on the battlefield, and their minds have to remember all kinds of possibilities. Is this appropriate? "
Liu Zhiyuan said with a smile, "They are all geniuses, they won't be distracted."
The crowd below was in an uproar. F * ck, he is really not modest!
However, there was really nothing wrong with what he said.
It was not too much of a problem for a team member who was a top student to remember this information.
Liu Zhiyuan continued, "As for how many high-grade talismans we bought, whether it's good or not … These two questions are actually one, and that is whether we should use the talismans we bought in the match."
He looked at the crowd below. "I don't think this question is interesting."
"Why?" Someone below asked.
Liu Zhiyuan said with a smile, "Those real pay-to-win players, spirit warriors wearing top-notch defensive equipment and carrying top-grade weapons, don't they also have fun playing?"
The crowd below was speechless, but the reporter did not give up. "But Talisman Artist is different! The power of high-grade talismans is too unfair, isn't it? "
Liu Zhiyuan glanced at the reporter. She was a young lady, quite pretty, but a far cry from Ji Chae Yi.
He said with a smile, "Be it the Flying Immortals League or the Empire League, the more realistic the better. Some even suggested that the team members who died in this match should not participate in the next match … because if you are dead, how can you continue the next match? "
Many people below could not help but laugh.
Liu Zhiyuan said with a smile, "Those who died in this match still have to participate in the next match. Otherwise, there might not be anyone left before the finals."
Another round of laughter.
Shirō Makino and the rest returned to the resting room, looking at Liu Zhiyuan's calm demeanor on the screen, and could not help but chuckle.
Shan Gu still had a cheap mouth, and could not help but grumble, "Liu really has no problem being a spokesperson. Really, do you think he will enter The First Academy?"
Ji Chae Yi looked at him. "If he does … what about it?"
Shan Gu had learned his lesson, and did not dare to speak carelessly. He chuckled and said, "This is also a personal choice … of course we have to respect it."
Ji Chae Yi did not say anything, and continued to look up at the screen.
Liu Zhiyuan was speaking with fervor and assurance. "But in other aspects, I feel that there is nothing wrong with being more realistic. If you have money, you should buy more good equipment and high-grade talismans … of course, high-grade talismans require a lot of energy, and it is not easy to control. So here, I still have to give you a piece of advice … "
Ji Chae Yi stood up, stretched, and glanced at Shirō Makino. "Let's go back, I am a little tired."
Although it was a competition in the virtual world, it was still quite taxing on one's energy.
It was just like playing games all night, no matter how energetic one felt, one's physical exhaustion could not be hidden.
"Are we not going to wait for Liu? We have to draw the next lot later, right? "Shan Gu asked.
Shirō Makino nodded. "Alright, let's go."
"Heh …" Shan Gu was a little speechless.
After returning to the hotel, everyone returned to their respective rooms. After a while, Ji Chae Yi knocked on Shirō Makino's door, and slipped in alone.
Shirō Makino poured a glass of water for her, and then sat in front of her. "Is there something on your mind?"
Ji Chae Yi nodded, and sighed softly. "Liu Zhiyuan, he should be going to The First Academy in the future."
"That's pretty good. Although it is not number one now, its Journalism and Politics faculty … has always been number one." Shirō Makino nodded.
"You think so too?" Ji Chae Yi looked at Shirō Makino.
Although she had known Xiao Bai for the shortest time, she did not know why, whenever she had something on her mind, she wanted to tell Xiao Bai.
She did not have any other thoughts about Xiao Bai. Even though her mother had revealed some things to her, she had never thought about it in that direction. She had never thought about it.
She just felt that Xiao Bai was a trustworthy person, unlike Si Yin who was naive, and unlike Shan Gu who was jumpy.
He was completely different from Liu who was mature and steady.
"Mm." Shirō Makino nodded. "Actually, I think Liu's choice is quite normal. He wants to prove himself, and he wants to make a name for himself through his own efforts. I don't think there is anything wrong with that. "
"But what about you? Where will you lead this team? "Ji Chae Yi did not hide anything as she looked at Shirō Makino and asked directly.
"After knowing you, our team has undergone a huge change. There are many things that we did not even dare to think about in the past. " Ji Chae Yi looked at Shirō Makino. "For example, being able to participate in the Flying Immortal High School League in the first year of high school; encountering the Protoss in the ancient ruins and even killing the Protoss; for example, the two Soul Pearls that each of us has … it's too much. Xiao Bai, regardless of whether you are the team leader or not, you are definitely the core of this team."
"So you should be clear that a team like ours should not be broken up so easily. If Liu Zhiyuan wants to go to The First Academy, I won't stop him … I don't have the right to stop him. "
Ji Chae Yi lowered her eyelids and said in a low voice, "Now I want to know, where do you want to bring us?"
Shirō Makino muttered to himself. He did not say whether it was too early to ask such a question.
Since Ji Chae Yi had found him and asked him personally, it meant that she was very concerned about this matter.
This matter might even affect the future between her and Old Liu.
So Shirō Makino did not dare to give her an answer easily. He looked at her and asked, "Where do you want to go?"
Ji Chae Yi lifted her head and glared at him fiercely. "You are not allowed to kick the ball back to me! I'm asking you! "
"I'm not kicking the ball back, I'm respecting your opinion." Shirō Makino looked at Ji Chae Yi and said seriously, "Actually, with our team, we can go anywhere. Any famous school should be able to provide us with the opportunity to learn and train. "
"Mm, thank you, Xiao Bai," Ji Chae Yi looked at Shirō Makino gratefully and said, "I don't want to go to The First Academy."
Shirō Makino looked at her with a strange expression. "Why?"
"I'm not throwing a tantrum," Ji Chae Yi smiled and said, "Let's talk about personal reasons first …"
"I grew up with Liu Zhiyuan, Shan Gu and Si Yin. To be honest, the longest time we've been apart was less than a week." "I like Liu Zhiyuan and I. I've liked him since we were young. I like his maturity and steadiness."
"As for him, he always treated me like a child and lectured me. No matter what, I'm like an immature little girl in front of him."
"I'm a little impulsive, but most of the time, I'm purposely making him angry."
"I'm a little impulsive, but most of the time, I'm purposely making him angry."
Shirō Makino: "…"
Ji Chae Yi raised her head and said seriously, "I don't want to be like this."
"He has his dreams, and I have mine too!"
"Besides, although my family never interferes with my choices, I'm very clear that they want me to choose my future path and who I should be with after I've matured …"
"Finally, it's because of the team. I don't want to break up this team, and neither do they. Although they also don't want to be separated from Liu Zhiyuan. But to be honest, his choice has destined us to be separated sooner or later. "
Ji Chae Yi emphasized, "I'm referring to the team."
Shirō Makino smiled and said, "But this … doesn't seem to be a reason for you not to go to The First Academy, right?"
Ji Chae Yi was silent for a moment, then said, "Actually, I want to try to separate from him for a period of time during this stage of university, to give each other space to grow."
Shirō Makino looked at her. "This … Are you confident?"
"Of course, how could I not be? True feelings can definitely withstand the test of time and distance, right? "Ji Chae Yi said seriously.
"I don't really understand, but it should be like this." Shirō Makino thought of the story between the old man and Lin Caiwei. The things that they had experienced all these years were unimaginable to ordinary people. But in the end, didn't they still end up together?
"Actually, there's no need to take this topic so seriously. We're still young! I'm just a little bored, and I want to find someone to talk to. " Ji Chae Yi smiled and said, "Xiao Bai, I know that you want to bring us into the university. I'm here to tell you that just follow your own choice, we'll all listen to you!"
"You're putting a lot of pressure on me." Shirō Makino smiled helplessly.
This wasn't a small matter. If it wasn't handled properly, it could really cause the whole team to fall apart.
After all, before he joined, Liu Zhiyuan … was the core of this team.
Now that he was replaced, did Liu … really not have any thoughts in his heart?
About ten minutes after Ji Chae Yi left, Liu Zhiyuan knocked on Shirō Makino's door.
Heh … You two, are you talking to me like I'm your bosom buddy?
Shirō Makino was a little helpless.
"Xiao Bai, the drawing of lots is over. We drew an awesome lot, a bye!" Liu looked excited when he came in.
"Really? Liu, you're quite lucky! Do they know? "Shirō Makino was also a little surprised, and his face revealed a pleasant surprise.
He didn't expect to draw a bye in the next round of thirty-five to eighteen. This was quite awesome.
Although the organizing committee would deliberately put some teams with conflicts in the same group at the beginning of the competition to make the competition more interesting, no one dared to tamper with it.
Because once it was exposed, no one would be able to bear the consequences. Even the Empire would hold them accountable.
Because if it was exposed, no one would be able to bear the consequences. Even the Empire would be held accountable.
"They don't know yet, so I came to tell you the good news first. I also wanted to chat with you, hehe."
Liu Zhiyuan smiled and sat on the sofa that Ji Chae Yi had just sat on. He saw a glass of water on the table in front of him. "Hey? You prepared the water for me? "
"Prepare my ass." Shirō Makino glanced at him. "Your wife just came."
"Chae Yi?" Liu Zhiyuan glanced at Shirō Makino. "She looked for you to complain about me, right? She can only look for you. Si Yin doesn't really understand, and Shan Gu is a chatterbox … If you talk to him, the topic will go astray in less than three sentences, and you'll be led into his main topic. "
Shirō Makino couldn't help but laugh. He then sat in front of Liu Zhiyuan. "That day, you and Chae Yi … didn't communicate well?"
Liu Zhiyuan sighed and picked up the glass of water that Ji Chae Yi hadn't drunk before. He took a sip, leaned back on the sofa, and smiled bitterly. "How should I put it? It's not good, but it's not bad either, right? Anyway, the two of us definitely have differences on this matter. She doesn't want me to take this path, but I can't do anything about it. So … I can only put aside the dispute for now. "
As Liu Zhiyuan said this, he looked at Shirō Makino. "Oh right, Xiao Bai, I want to give my two Soul Pearls to Chae Yi. Since I've decided to enter politics, it's meaningless for me to keep them. Do you think … Xiao Yin and Shan Gu will have any objections? "
"What objections can they have? It's yours, you can give it to whoever you want. "Shirō Makino looked at Liu Zhiyuan." But are you willing to? It's a lot of money! "
At least a hundred billion was already an astronomical figure.
To the commoners, it was impossible for them to even imagine the magnitude of this amount of money.
"What's there to be reluctant about?" Liu Zhiyuan smiled. "As long as there's enough money to spend, it's enough. Although my family isn't that rich, it's enough for me to live a carefree life."
"Xiao Bai, to be honest, as long as you're here, the team won't have any problems! I believe that we'll be able to go very high and very far! I don't doubt this at all. So, I hope you can help me take care of Chae Yi … "
Shirō Makino rolled his eyes. "I say, Liu, I call you Liu. Do you really think you're old? How old are you? We're the same age, but you're a few months younger than me. So, don't ask me for help. What do you mean by asking me for help? Go talk to Chae Yi, see if she'll fall out with you on the spot. "
"Haha, that's why I'm begging you in private!" Liu Zhiyuan chuckled, then said helplessly, "Actually, I'm quite afraid."
"What's there to be afraid of? Why are all of you so pretentious? "Shirō Makino couldn't help but complain.
"I'm not being pretentious, sigh …" Liu Zhiyuan sighed. "To be honest, Xiao Bai, I really hope that all of you can go to The First Academy with me, but it's definitely not your first choice, am I right?"
"Yes, it's not." Shirō Makino nodded. "Even without Flying Celestial Academy, I won't go to Ziyun Academy."
Liu Zhiyuan smiled bitterly and nodded. "If I choose the path that Chae Yi wants, I'll definitely be wherever you are. But … I chose the other path, so I can't blame all of you. That's why I want to ask you to help Chae Yi. Her dream is to become a great Spirit Warrior …"
"I'll definitely help her, but Liu, have you really thought it through? Do you really have to go to The First Academy? " Shirō Makino looked at him. "Actually, Flying Celestial Academy … Although it's not as good as The First Academy, who knows what the future holds. I feel that if everyone can stay united, then the potential will be huge … It might even bring you a completely different life. Don't you want to give it a try? "
"Xiao Bai, I don't want to gamble. The reason why I must go to The First Academy is because … it's the best starting point for politics! "
Liu Zhiyuan pursed his lips and looked at Shirō Makino. "Just like how I can't ask the four of you to accommodate me … choosing this path has always been my biggest dream."
Shirō Makino looked at him and suddenly asked, "Is this your biggest dream? Isn't it so that you can be with Caiyi? "
Liu Zhiyuan laughed. "Xiao Bai, I know what you want to say. To me, my career is indeed more important, but in my heart, Chae Yi is also irreplaceable! Yes, no one can replace her, no one! "
"Mm." Shirō Makino nodded slightly. "You're better than me in this aspect."
Liu grinned, stood up and pointed at Shirō Makino. "Stop it, your words are a little harsh, I feel like you're mocking me."
"I'm serious." Shirō Makino looked at Liu Zhiyuan. There were still many things he wanted to say, but he felt that it might not be useful, and Liu might not want to hear it.
If he had to choose between Lin Zijin and his so-called future, he would definitely choose Lin Zijin without hesitation.
Because Lin Zijin was the one who would go through thick and thin with him, the one whose fate was to depend on!
If he missed her, he would never find her again.
And what was his future?
For Xiao Bai, who had not even celebrated his birthday yet at the age of 18 — —
I'm a f * cking genius, why should I be afraid of not having a future?
If I'm a useless person, how can I have a future?
He understood what Liu Zhiyuan meant. For his future, for his career, he could give up love!
He wanted to give those two Soul Pearls to Chae Yi. Although it showed his feelings for Chae Yi, there were other intentions behind it.
Would Chae Yi be willing to accept it?
In Shirō Makino's opinion, probably not.
In his opinion, a good relationship could motivate people to forge ahead.
If he chose love, why couldn't he choose his career?
Ji Chae Yi wasn't the kind of girl who clung to others!
Therefore, Shirō Makino didn't think much of Liu Zhiyuan's choice. It was his personal choice where to go to school.
But his last words revealed too much of his innermost feelings.
His career would be more important?
Probably not just a little?
Shirō Makino couldn't agree with this, but he couldn't blame him either.
After all, this was someone else's business.
Not his, Shirō Makino's.
After thinking for a while, he looked at Liu Zhiyuan and said, "It's just a simple personal choice. Why do you make it sound like we're going to break up?"
Liu Zhiyuan was slightly stunned and said, "F * ck, you've led me into the ditch! Isn't that right! "
"But the two of you came to me one after another to tell me about this. I guess something happened, right?" Shirō Makino looked into Liu Zhiyuan's eyes and asked.
Liu Zhiyuan was silent for a while and shook his head. "You're too smart. Nothing can be hidden from you. That's right, The First Academy … looked for me."
"What?" Shirō Makino was stunned and looked at Liu Zhiyuan. "We're only in the first year of high school! Besides, why would they look for us so early? If they wanted to look for us … they should wait until we become the champion of the Flying Immortals League, right? "
Liu Zhiyuan shook his head and said, "I don't know why either. Anyway, their explanation is that I've displayed a strong analytical ability in the past two competitions and my performance after the competition …"
After saying so much, they're just trying to trick me? You want me to take the initiative and say that I won't go to The First Academy so that you won't feel guilty?
Shirō Makino was a little confused and annoyed. He wanted to say, "Liu, you're not being nice!"
Liu Zhiyuan looked at Shirō Makino and said sincerely, "Xiao Bai, I don't want to miss this opportunity."
"So?" Shirō Makino asked.
"So, after the Flying Immortals League, I might be specially recruited to The First Academy in the next semester." Liu Zhiyuan said, "I really don't want to miss this opportunity. Can you understand?"
Shirō Makino was stunned for a long time. He felt that this was completely different from when Master Peng and Master Kong wanted to specially recruit them in advance.
"Are you sure … they're not scammers?" Shirō Makino looked at Liu Zhiyuan with a puzzled expression.
"Of course not. Am I that stupid?" Liu Zhiyuan said.
"In other words, after seeing your performance, they directly recruited you to The First Academy and … didn't mention us? Is that so? "Shirō Makino asked.
"Don't you want to enter The First Academy too?" Liu Zhiyuan sounded a little jealous.
"Don't avoid the main point. I haven't said that you're tricking me! Let me ask you, they didn't mention us at all, right? "Shirō Makino frowned as he thought of something else.
"Yes, they didn't mention us." Liu Zhiyuan nodded. "But if you really want to go …"
"Liu, I don't think you should agree. At least for now … I don't want you to agree to them." Shirō Makino looked at Liu Zhiyuan with a stern expression.
"Why?" Liu Zhiyuan looked at Shirō Makino.
"I have a feeling that it might not be a good thing," Shirō Makino said sternly.
"Isn't it a good thing to specially recruit me to The First Academy?" Liu Zhiyuan looked at Shirō Makino with a puzzled expression. "Xiao Bai, are you having a fever?"
"Forget it. Pretend I didn't say anything." Shirō Makino shook his head and said, "Liu, I will lead my team to become the champion of the Flying Immortals League. Just treat it as a gift for you to enter the academy."
"Haha, that's more like it!" Liu Zhiyuan said happily. "You should have a significant champion in your high school life!"
Shirō Makino looked at Liu Zhiyuan and suddenly asked, "Liu, I have a question …"
"Go ahead." Liu Zhiyuan's entire mental state was different. He was very excited, but he was trying hard to suppress this excitement.
"If … I mean if, one day, someone wants to make you my enemy, what will you choose?" Shirō Makino looked at Liu Zhiyuan with a serious expression.
"Are you kidding me?" Liu Zhiyuan looked at Shirō Makino with a strange expression. "How can that day come? We're brothers! Even if I choose another path, you, Shan Gu, and Si Yin will still be my brothers and sisters. Chae Yi … will still be my girlfriend! "
"What if?" Shirō Makino asked.
"There can be no if!" Liu Zhiyuan looked at Shirō Makino and said with a serious expression, "Xiao Bai, I know your background is not ordinary, and there might be something behind you. But so what? If such a day really comes, I won't hesitate to become your traitor! "
"Even if your enemy is …"
Liu Zhiyuan pointed to the sky. "I will definitely stand with you!"
He looked at Shirō Makino. "I chose this path not because I want to cut ties with you, but because this is my dream!"
"That's all!"
Shirō Makino looked at Liu Zhiyuan and nodded. "Alright, Liu, I will remember your words."
After Liu Zhiyuan left, Shirō Makino threw himself onto the bed. He muttered, "Big Beauty, the world of adults is a little troublesome."
"Why are you pretending to be an adult? You're still a teenager! There's still more than a month until your birthday. "
Big Pretty jumped out and projected her image into an exquisite little beauty that was more than a foot tall. She was wearing a flowery dress and appeared in front of Bai Muye. "Also, watching you children's drama is too boring."
"I'm a little worried about Liu." Shirō Makino sighed.
Big Beauty blinked. "That's his choice. In any case, from what I see, he's not a good match for that silly girl, Ji Chae Yi."
