The match wasn't over yet, but almost everyone felt that there was no more suspense.
There were three people left on Fu Long's side. Talisman Artist Shirō Makino, Assassin Ji Chae Yi, and main offense-type Spirit Warrior Si Yin.
On Golden House's side, there was only the archer, Shi Song, who had just broken through.
No matter how good his condition was, the audience didn't think that he could create a miracle from God's perspective.
This included the few people on Golden House's side who had already been eliminated and were silently watching the screen in the combat room.
Diao Yujia glanced at Zhang Kexin and Lin Dehui. "We can't blame ourselves for losing this match. Even if we used the second or third strategy, we still wouldn't be their match."
Lin Dehui nodded bitterly. "Their Talisman Artist is too strong!"
Diao Yujia glanced at Zhang Kexin. Zhang Kexin smiled bitterly. "Don't look at me. I didn't perform well in this match. I was completely pinned down by him, and he just wanted to pin me down …"
Diao Yujia said plainly, "He's training his troops."
"Training troops? Training troops in such an important match? " Lin Dehui admitted that Fu Long's team was very strong, but he still found it hard to accept such a statement.
This feeling was like an ordinary student trying his best to answer all kinds of questions, treating an important exam with utmost sincerity.
Then he heard Brainiac say, "I'm just casually taking the test."
"If it wasn't for training troops, that Shirō Makino could have challenged our entire team by himself," Zhang Kexin said from the side.
"No way …" Lin Dehui's mouth twitched. He looked at the two girls in disbelief. He couldn't help but say, "No, you two … Do you think he's handsome?"
"It's true that he's handsome. It's also true that he's strong. I finally understand what Teacher said before." Zhang Kexin said plainly, "He said that having high Spiritual Power doesn't necessarily mean that you're strong. If you're talented, if you're hardworking enough, you can go far on this path. If you're not so talented, you might not be able to go so far, but you might be able to go very high! All this time, I've never understood the relationship between Gao and Yuan, but after my match with Shirō Makino today, I think I understand. "
"Then wouldn't our match be …" Lin Dehui's face was full of self-blame. He felt that if he hadn't been eliminated so quickly, they would still have had a chance.
"Don't think too much. Let's see if Shi Song has a chance to take one of them away. If the Talisman Artist doesn't make a move, I think he still has a chance. This is our biggest harvest today, "Diao Yujia said.
In the ancient ruins.
Shi Song had already received the notification that Diao Yujia and Zhang Kexin had been eliminated. If it was before, he would have lost all confidence.
But today, he felt an indescribable excitement!
He wasn't afraid at all!
He even had a premonition that he was about to create a miracle in history.
If I can turn the tide at this time and kill three of them, then it will be the most memorable feat in my life!
The future glory belonged to the future.
Right now, I need to create a glorious miracle first!
Shi Song's movement was extremely erratic. His ability to predict had also reached an unprecedented peak.
In this state, he didn't even need to aim or think before shooting an arrow.
No matter which direction, he would be able to hit his target with a casual shot!
At this time, the director pulled up the camera and gave a panoramic long lens.
Shi Song was in the northwest corner of the map, trying to get closer to the central battlefield.
Si Yin was directly north of the map, taking a big detour, heading in Shi Song's direction.
Some of the beasts were alarmed by Si Yin, but they all stayed far away!
The aura that erupted from Si Yin was a little too fierce.
After all, she had killed someone just now!
The cute loli had a murderous aura that she didn't even realize herself.
On the west side of the map, Ji Chae Yi's figure flashed continuously. She was moving in that direction.
Shi Song was not the only one who had the ability to sense things on the battlefield.
It was just a matter of who was stronger, and who was weaker.
Shirō Makino headed straight for the northwest corner from the central battlefield.
After all, he wasn't a powerful Spirit Warrior. Without the support of any talismans, there were many places that he couldn't directly pass through, and he had to take a detour.
However, his calm and composed attitude had already won the admiration of countless people.
"This is what a Talisman Artist should be like," the bald beauty praised. Her temper was like this. She didn't hide her hatred for people, but she didn't hesitate to praise those she liked.
Even though she was a professional commentator from the bookstore, it didn't stop her from admiring Shirō Makino.
The gentle girl was looking at Shirō Makino on the map with bright eyes. She said softly, "What method will he use to defeat the remaining members of the House of Gold?"
"He will probably attract their attention from the front." Brother Niao analyzed.
Dong Li thought for a while and pushed his glasses up. "He might just want to take a stroll and familiarize himself with the terrain. Who knows, he might be able to draw it again in the final circle."
The bald beauty glanced at Dong Li and burst out laughing. "This is only the first round robin of the division zone …"
"I believe in them. Do you want to bet?" Dong Li looked serious.
"Bet with you? Mr. Dong who loses every bet? "They were in the same circle, and in fact, they already knew each other.
Dong Li laughed. "I'm not Mr. Dong who loses every bet now … How about it? Do you dare to bet with me? "
The bald beauty raised her eyebrows. "No way. This is a bet that I will obviously lose. Only an idiot would bet with you."
Brother Niao said at the side, "Speaking of bets, the bets for this match were all in favor of the House of Gold. Hehe, I wonder how much money those betting companies will have to pay."
"Betting companies will never lose money. They use big data to make money, so they're very good at finding a balance. However, this match … I'm afraid they're going to lose a bit. " The bald beauty stared at the screen and laughed. "After all, a lot of people like to gamble on underdogs. Plus, if your people from Hundred Blossoms bet on this match, most people will probably choose their own home team. Previously, the odds were very high … "
In the arena, Si Yin, Ji Chae Yi, and Shirō Makino headed towards the Archer from three different directions.
At this moment, Shirō Makino used both his hands and feet to climb up a dilapidated tower.
The tower was extremely dilapidated, and many of the stairs were gone. Xiao Bai showed off his rock climbing skills, easily climbing to the top of this dilapidated tower.
Then, he climbed outside and sat on the balcony at the highest level. His two legs dangled in the air, and there was sixty to seventy meters of ground below him.
If he fell, he would die without a doubt.
Even if he had the body of a Level 4 Soul Warrior, he wouldn't be able to withstand such a high altitude.
Many people with acrophobia felt dizzy watching this, but Shirō Makino looked very comfortable.
Whoosh!
An arrow flew towards him without any warning.
The camera panned to Shi Song. Shi Song's serious face and cold gaze didn't have any hint of mockery or superfluous expression.
You climbed so high as if you're afraid I won't be able to see you. Aren't you just trying to lure me into attacking you?
But do you understand?
My arrow isn't the same as before!
Whoosh!
A screen of light appeared in front of Shirō Makino.
The Frost Arrow hit the screen of light, and actually froze it into a deep blue color!
Whoosh whoosh!
Another two arrows, one in front and one behind, followed closely behind the first arrow and shot towards the light screen.
In the stream, Dong Li said: "Shi Song probably wants to use the same strategy he used to eliminate Shan Gu. One arrow to freeze, one arrow to break, one arrow to kill!"
Brother Niao continued: "But …"
But it was useless!
The second arrow hit the screen of light, but it didn't break as expected.
The strong Frost Attribute only made the color of Shirō Makino's screen of light a little darker.
The third arrow hit the screen of light, and the color deepened a little.
The bald beauty squinted her eyes and muttered: "This is … a buff?"
The gentle girl nodded: "It should be a buff from the Defense Talisman … If it's like this, a few more Fire Attribute attacks should be able to break it. But with so much time, it should be enough for the Talisman Artist to react."
"Your Hundred Flowers City has really picked up a treasure!" The bald beauty looked at Dong Li and Brother Niao with envy.
Dong Li pushed up his spectacles, looking calm.
The corners of Brother Bird's mouth curled up proudly.
Shi Song was a little anxious since his three arrows didn't work.
The other party was only an intermediate Talisman Master. Even if he was a super rich second generation and had all the high-grade talismans on him, how could he possibly control every single high-grade talisman to such a high degree of proficiency?
His three Frost Arrows consumed a lot of spiritual energy, but what was the result?
His opponent's Defense Talisman was buffed with a layer of Frost Attribute!
What the hell!
At this moment, he suddenly felt a huge murderous intent coming from his left!
Shi Song didn't hesitate to shoot two arrows.
Ding!
Ding!
Two crisp sounds could be heard from afar.
A figure was charging towards him openly!
Damn!
It's that violent loli with the hammer!
She was actually able to smash my Frost Arrow away?
Shi Song didn't have time to be shocked, he retreated towards the west.
He had to distance himself from a powerful Spiritual Warrior like Si Yin!
As an archer, wouldn't he be courting death if he fought with her?
Shi Song faced Si Yin head-on, retreating as he attacked.
Frost Arrows consumed a lot of spiritual energy, but he couldn't care less at this moment.
He shot arrow after arrow, but none of the arrows hit the cute girl who was getting closer and closer.
Her hammer technique … was a little too scary!
Shi Song's choice wasn't wrong. He couldn't run with his back facing Si Yin. If he did, he would miss a lot of opportunities.
But at this moment, countless people watching from God's perspective couldn't help but sigh.
In the combat room, Diao Yujia sighed. "He tried his best!"
"Yeah, he tried his best." Lin Dehui was disappointed.
His only surviving teammate couldn't create the miracle they had imagined.
Because everyone watching from God's perspective could clearly see that less than 100 meters away from Shi Song's back, there was a ghost-like figure — — Ji Chae Yi!
Ji Chae Yi, who had broken through and reached Level Eight, used Stealth to get closer and closer to Shi Song.
However, Shi Song was only focused on dealing with Si Yin, who had caught up to him. He didn't realize that his opponent was actually behind him.
Whoosh!
The instant Ji Chae Yi got close to Shi Song, she brushed past him like a gust of wind.
Shi Song didn't notice it until the last moment.
The giant screen showed him a close-up of his face.
His expression was full of shock, followed by regret.
Then, he fell, his body turning into a rain of light, dissipating into the air.
Hundred Blossoms Team Rune Dragon, first round of the round-robin.
Victory!
In the broadcast room, Brother Niao and Dong Li were the first to clap.
The bald-headed beauty and the gentle girl also clapped.
Dong Li said, "In this match, whether it's Team Rune Dragon or Team Golden House, they both displayed their brilliance. The country will be strong if the youths are strong. Our youths are getting stronger! Congratulations to Team Rune Dragon for winning the first match of the round-robin. At the same time, I want to say to Team Golden House, your performance was equally outstanding. A momentary loss is nothing. Learn from your mistakes, regroup, and continue to work hard in the next match! "
The bald-headed beauty nodded. "Alright, today's match is over. Next, we will return to the studio and let the team of experts analyze the match …"
Shirō Makino and the others came out of the virtual cabin in the combat room, only to see Shan Gu sitting there in a daze. His head was lowered, his elbows on his knees, his hands clutching his long grey hair. He seemed very distressed.
When he heard them coming out of the virtual cabin, his expression instantly changed. He grinned and said, "Haha, congratulations to Chae Yi for breaking through at the last minute. Congratulations to ourselves for winning again …"
"Shan Gu, a momentary loss is no big deal. Don't be too impatient." Ji Chae Yi was also a straightforward person. She looked at Shan Gu worriedly.
"Hahaha, you're thinking too much. I was just a little regretful just now. I could have killed the opponent's archer, but in the end, I forced him to break through at the last minute …" Shan Gu grinned and hugged Shirō Makino's shoulder. "Next match, I will definitely break through in the next match!"
Shirō Makino looked at him and nodded. "Alright!"
"Where's the captain?" Si Yin asked.
"I haven't seen him since I came out. He probably went back to the resting room?" Shan Gu said.
"Let's go back to the resting room. They still haven't given us an explanation for what happened before." Shirō Makino said as he cleared his throat. This was the secret signal that he and Big Beauty had agreed on.
Big Beauty said in his earpiece, "Don't worry, it's not what you think. Wait for the official explanation later."
Can the official explanation be trusted?
Shirō Makino cursed in his heart.
Big Beauty seemed to be able to read Shirō Makino's thoughts. "This time, it can be trusted."
When they returned to the resting room, there was still no sign of Liu. Ji Chae Yi was a little anxious and was about to call Liu.
However, at this moment, the image on the screen suddenly changed.
Liu appeared at a press conference with a few important figures from the organizing committee.
Liu's position was not at the edge, but a little to the left of the center.
"What's going on?" Shan Gu looked at the screen with a puzzled expression.
"The results should be out." Shirō Makino said, "For this kind of competition, the organizers of the competition are the most anxious ones. If they can't explain this in the shortest time possible, rumors will spread, and the damage to them will be huge."
At this moment, on the screen, a middle-aged man with a dignified face sat in the middle and nodded to the large number of reporters below. "First of all, this is a press conference, not a question session. So, regarding this matter, we will only announce the results and not accept any questions. Alright, let's begin. "
A capable woman sitting beside him looked at the many reporters below and said, "After investigation, the organizing committee member Yuan Enguang, the one who led a group of reporters to the contestant area …"
At this moment, someone projected the image of the bespectacled young man on the screen.
"Before the start of this competition, he bought a huge amount of … lottery tickets for Golden House Team's victory."
The crowd of reporters below was instantly in an uproar.
Including the audience who were watching, all of them were speechless.
Especially Shirō Makino, he finally understood why Big Pretty said it wasn't what he thought it was.
"At the same time, we also found out that he had private dealings with several small gambling companies, and there were a lot of cash transactions between them …"
What the hell?
The organizing committee was awesome?
They could even find cash transaction records?
In this era, paper money had basically completely disappeared from the stage of history.
Everyone used digital currencies and credit points to make all kinds of purchases.
The amount of cash and paper money was usually very large, and they only had a few functions left.
For example, adventurers usually liked to trade in cash.
Or in some faraway resource planets where the network could not cover, people could also use cash to trade.
Sometimes, even if they did not want to leave any traces on the network, they would still choose to use large amounts of cash.
So the question was, how did the organizing committee get Yuan Enguang's cash transaction records?
This method … was a bit scary!
In fact, the organizing committee also did not know how it came about.
Anyway, it just happened to appear in their line of sight.
It was like a pillow when one was sleepy.
Those videos not only contained Yuan Enguang's transaction records with several gambling companies, but also videos of Yuan Enguang soliciting some media reporters …
In short, as long as this evidence was released, whether it was the organizing committee or the bookstore, they would definitely be clean.
As for the already dead Yuan Enguang, the reporters he bribed, and the small gambling companies, no one cared about what happened to them.
Anyway, it was definitely not good!
After all, this was a society ruled by law.
In particular, when the gambling companies found out that they were exposed, the person from the gambling company mixed in with the reporters was afraid that Yuan Enguang would confess to them, so he directly activated the highly toxic substance buried in Yuan Enguang's body and instantly poisoned him to death.
Even these videos were very detailed in the hands of the organizing committee.
As the capable female spokesperson threw out one piece of evidence after another, let alone the group of reporters, even the people who were watching were all shocked!
This was simply a lifetime series!
"What did we see? What the hell, this is amazing! The organizers and the organizing committee of the Baiyue City division of the Flying Immortals League are too awesome! In less than an hour, they had actually cracked such a huge gambling case! This is too awesome! "
"I'm convinced. This competition is already exciting enough. I didn't expect that there would be even more exciting things waiting for me outside of the competition! From today onwards, the Baiyue City division will be locked in! "
"I have to apologize to my friends in the bookstore. Forgive me for thinking that this matter was done by you guys. You guys were wronged. I said the wrong thing, I apologize!"
"I apologize!"
"Apologize …"
The internet exploded in an instant.
Countless people apologized to the people of the bookstore. Although the bookstore lost the competition, on the competition stage, Diao Yujia's demeanor had won the favor of countless people. Outside the competition stage, the matter of trying to trick the Fu Long Battle Team had nothing to do with them!
Therefore, the reputation of the first-class main city of the bookstore instantly skyrocketed!
This result made many people in the bookstore not know whether to laugh or cry.
We just want to win the competition … Damn, what's the use of increasing reputation in a first-class main city?
Unbeknownst to them, just as the spokesperson was throwing out one piece of evidence after another, a few people were looking at Shirō Makino strangely.
Shirō Makino looked at them innocently. "Don't look at me, I don't know. I didn't do it!"
