On November 6th, at 10 am, Thriller Paradise, inside Wang Tanzhi's conference room.
"Hey, Brother Jue, you're here." Seeing Feng Bujue walk into the conference room, Xiao Tan put down the snacks in his hands and waved to greet him.
"Why is it only you? Where's Xiao Ling? "Feng Bujue realized Xiao Tan was the only one sitting in the room, so he asked.
"She has an interview this morning, so she should only come online in the afternoon," Xiao Tan replied.
"Interview?" Feng Bujue was confused. "With her family background … why would she need to go for an interview? She can just go to her family's company to be a leader. "
"You can't put it that way …" Xiao Tan replied. "My family has quite a number of companies under my name, but I'm still working for them, right?"
"Hmm … You have a point." Feng Bujue sighed.
Xiao Tan then added, "Furthermore … she's going for an interview with a government department, and I hear her grandfather is a leader there …"
"Enough, enough …" When he heard the words' her grandfather ', Feng Bujue already knew where Xiao Ling was going for the interview. He immediately used a fast and impatient tone to interrupt Xiao Tan. "I already know where she is going to work, so you don't need to tell me anymore."
"Huh?" Xiao Tan was confused. "Even I don't know, so how did you know?"
"Go ask your wife yourself, don't ask me about that." Feng Bujue did not want to tell Xiao Tan about the nine subjects.
"Oh …" Xiao Tan answered, and then he seemed to remember something. "By the way, Brother Jue … Xiao Ling and I haven't registered yet, so we can call her 'wife' …"
"What?" Feng Bujue interrupted him again and asked in a rhetorical tone, "Do you dare not marry her?"
"Er …" Xiao Tan answered without hesitation. "I don't dare …" He paused. "Of course, this is not a question of whether I dare or not. I'm just waiting for the right time to bring it up …"
"That's enough, stop!" Feng Bujue stopped Xiao Tan from continuing. "I'm not going to tell you anything about that. This is between the two of you." Then, he changed the topic. "Let's talk about our opponents for the next round."
"Hmm?" Xiao Tan continued. "That's it? Sister Rain and Auntie An? "
"Your Big Sister Rain has gone home to visit her parents. Regarding that editor of mine …" Feng Bujue shrugged. "Because of what I said during the first match, he is busy …"
"It's about Zombie Blade, isn't it?" Xiao Tan asked.
"Yes," Feng Bujue said. "The legal department from Zombie Blade said … as long as I am willing to publicly apologize for the 'false statements' that I made during the match, they will not pursue the matter further."
"F * ck! So arrogant! "Xiao Tan showed an angry expression." They want to pursue the matter further? Is it reasonable for them to use drugs on their own employees? "
"Haha … This is not a matter of 'reason'." Feng Bujue used a relaxed tone and replied with a smile. "They are not talking about reason with you; they are talking about the law." He paused for half a second. "From the perspective of the law, I have publicly spread negative information about Zombie Blade without any evidence, and it has caused quite a bit of damage. Therefore, they can sue me for slandering their reputation and ask me to compensate for their losses. "
"What do you mean by 'no evidence'?" Xiao Tan was still not convinced. "Their use of drugs … won't the truth be revealed if the people from the legal department are involved in the investigation?"
"Ha!" Brother Bujue laughed drily. "Is the 'government office' owned by your family? In a civil lawsuit, who is the one providing the evidence, do you understand? If the investigation is as easy as you make it out to be, I will sue them every day. I will say whatever comes to my mind and have the civil servants knock on their windows for me. "
"Based on what you said …" Xiao Tan said, "Do you really want to apologize?"
"How is that possible?" Feng Bujue's reply was uneven. "If you want me to apologize, the premise is that I have really done something wrong …" He paused for a second. "… And I do not have the power to cover up or reverse that mistake."
"Why don't you just say that you will never apologize?" Xiao Tan narrowed his eyes.
"Who said that? I always say 'sorry', okay? "Feng Bujue retorted.
"The 'sorry' that you always say … is never an apology …" Xiao Tan took the opportunity to mock him. "Instead, it is something like 'sorry, I am a police officer'. No matter how you look at it, it sounds like you are setting up a death flag for the other party."
"Don't mind the details." Feng Bujue used a classic line to change the topic. "In any case, I will not fulfill Zombie Blade's request." As he said that, he touched his chin. "Yesterday, I went to Ouyang Ruo to ask about the various technical details of this' blackmail 'and how to deal with the aftermath. He told me in his capacity as a professional and a friend that … I can do it."
"Huh?" Xiao Tan was confused when he heard that. "What do you mean by 'blackmail'? Zombie Blade's actions were at most 'threatening' you. They did not ask you for … "He was halfway through his sentence when something flashed across his mind. His eyes widened in shock." Wait! "
"What are you talking about …" Feng Bujue said weakly. "You are the one who stopped halfway … You want me to slow down a bit?"
"Hey!" Xiao Tan gasped. "You are the one who wants to blackmail them?"
"Is that so weird?" As Feng Bujue spoke, he assumed the posture of a European lyrical poet and recited with deep emotion. "I still remember … In the place where dreams died … blackmail was my only entertainment and spiritual food."
"First of all, you think … 'school' is the place where dreams die." Wang Tanzhi's lips twitched as he repeated the meaning behind Brother Jue's words word by word. "Secondly, you believed that the trauma that you brought to so many people during your childhood was just a side effect of your entertainment activities. Thirdly, under the premise that you might be sued by the other party and lose the case, your first thought was … to blackmail the other party …"
"Hmm, not a bad summary." Feng Bujue nodded and calmly admitted it.
"So … is Ouyang Ruo your lawyer or criminal consultant?" Xiao Tan asked.
"Of course, he is a lawyer." Brother Jue replied matter-of-factly. "If there was no 'lawyer's duty of confidentiality', the two of us would not have been so reckless."
Xiao Tan held his forehead and shook his head. He was too lazy to say anything more. "If you both end up in jail one day … remember not to come to me as a witness."
"Don't worry, if there is a case where the two of us are arrested together, the worst sentence would be life imprisonment." Feng Bujue laughed. "You don't have to be a witness for us. Just go get a tattoo."
"Why would I get a tattoo …" Xiao Tan wanted to say something but stopped. Then, he suddenly realized something and said, "Oh … and then help you break out of jail? Bullsh * t! "
Brother Jue laughed. "Okay, let's not talk about this. We went off topic again …" He grabbed the snacks that Xiao Tan put on the coffee table and started to eat. "It's okay if it's just the two of us. Let me tell you about our opponents in the next round …"
…
November 7th, midnight.
The second round of the Battle of the Four Worlds began on time.
In this round, [Hell Frontline]'s opponent was [Duo]. This team was similar to [Trash Alliance]. It was a team made up of professional players. The captain and vice-captain of the [Duo] team were also very famous professional players. Their IDs were [Purple You] and [Green You].
In terms of skill level, although these two were not bad, compared to gods like Shadow King and Hong Hu … they were still one level lower.
However, what people praised the most about Purple You and Green You … was their flawless "coordination" ability.
The two of them were twins to begin with, and they were a boy and a girl. The older sister, Purple Tour, was the captain in most games, and the younger brother, Green Tour, was the assistant. After many years of cooperation and some kind of tacit understanding between the twins, they were always successful in the game. When the two of them worked together, their combat power was far greater than the effect of one plus one.
In addition to the two siblings and the nominal substitute coach, the other two members of the team were also masters who had been famous in the gaming circle for a long time. Although I don't have the desire to think of names for these two walk-ons, I hope that everyone can understand … … a team that can make it to the second round of the semi-finals won't have weak players, so there's no need to doubt the strength of these two.
Back to Underworld Frontline …
After the crushing performance in the first round, the four members, Feng Bujue, Wang Tanzhi, Passing Rain, and Laughing Soul, had become the focus of the competition. The sharpness of these four players was not at all inferior to those professional superstar players.
The most valuable thing was … even though they had kept some videos of their S2 matches, each of their performances were unpredictable, and their limits were unknown.
Therefore, in the second round, even though Underworld Frontline did not go up against a seeded team, they still received a lot of attention. Be it their new fans or the studio members who came to scout, none of them wanted to miss the performance of Underworld Frontline.
But …
As if to mock these people, Feng Bujue, the most interesting captain, in the second round … put himself on the bench.
…
On the other hand, there was a clash between two strong teams in the second round of the semi-finals … that was about to happen.
That was — — [Trash Alliance] VS [Sengoku Squadron Two].
It was unclear whether it was coincidence or fate, but in less than two days, Hong Hu really did go up against Feng Chenping in a match.
Whether it was Hong Hu teaching his opponent a lesson or Sengoku Team Two giving him a slap in the face would depend on this match.
"Trash Alliance"
"Uncle Trash, Level 50"
"Hong Hu, Level 50"
"Shadow King, Level 50"
"Sleepy Dream, Level 50"
"Teacher Chi, Level 50"
"Please select the game mode that your team will join."
"Confirmed, please select the spectator for this match."
Trash Alliance's lineup was quite luxurious. The four main players were undeniably top players with one Level S mastery. Their substitute, Teacher Chi, was similar to the substitutes of most other teams. He was more of a 'coach' and had never personally participated in a match before.
Therefore, the spectator that they chose this time was naturally still Teacher Chi.
"Confirmed, your team has entered the queue. Waiting for your opponent."
"Matching complete. Coordinating nerve connection. Generating scenario …"
"Downloading, please wait a moment."
"The smoke of war has just been settled, but the blood is still red. The battle rises again, and men wait no longer. The stars gather in the four realms, and the battle is over the clouds. "
"Download complete. Welcome to Tournament for the Best S2 — Battle of the Four Realms.
"A scenario introduction is provided in this mode, and there is a chance of triggering hidden side missions and special world-building.
"Reward for winning the scenario: Advance to the third round of the semi-finals.
"Playing the scenario introduction soon. The match will start after that."
After a series of familiar announcements, the introductory cinematic appeared before the players' eyes.
It was the sea, a sea of oily green.
The sea was not supposed to be this color, but that was what the players saw.
Hu! Hu!
The sound of wind and waves came one after another, and it sounded like a suppressed wail.
"The cause of this was a group of scientists swearing … that they had solved the planet's energy crisis."
As the narration began, the camera slowly moved forward against the surface of the sea.
"But they were wrong …
"The 'special bacteria' that they created did not turn water into oil but turned it into an energy disaster.
"The 'special bacteria' turned all the liquids that they came into contact with into an oily and poisonous mixture that was useless to humans.
"The water supply system was the first to collapse, followed by the rivers and lakes …
"In the end, even the sea was not spared."
At this point, a shoreline suddenly appeared in the cinematic …
"The people's lives did not improve, and their living space continued to shrink due to the lack of water.
"Today, humans can only be seen on small islands on the sea …"
The introductory cinematic ended there, and the four players from the loser's alliance regained their mobility on an orange beach. At the same time, a familiar system announcement appeared in their ears — "Main Quest triggered."
The four opened the game menu to look, and the quest tab showed up. "Kill the four members of Sengoku Team Two." This quest.
"Everyone … even though it might sound a bit impulsive to say this …" Ambitionist was the first to speak to his teammates. "But I still wish to say …" He paused. "Due to some personal reasons … in this match, I hope that everyone will 'absolutely follow my arrangements' and help me use the layout to take down my opponent …"
