December 12th, Monday …
Pei Qian slept in the hotel until 11 AM. After checking out, he ate something and then headed straight for the high-speed rail station to return to Jingzhou.
Wu Yue and Manager Lu wanted to host a banquet at noon, but Pei Qian rejected them.
The competition over the past two days had been a nightmare for Pei Qian. All he wanted now was to leave Shanghai, return to Jingzhou, and play games at home wrapped in a blanket.
Pei Qian adjusted his mentality on the high-speed rail back to Jingzhou before taking out his cell phone to check the comments of the silly netizens on the various forums about yesterday's competition.
It was almost 12 PM after watching the competition last night. Pei Qian returned to the hotel and went straight to sleep. He had not checked the comments online until now.
Pei Qian saw the most popular post at a glance when he opened the forum. It had already been pushed up to more than a thousand posts. It was very popular.
The title of the post was very simple: 'World Famous Paintings'.
Pei Qian was a little confused when he saw this title.
Had the old posts been dug out again?
There were a total of three so-called 'world famous paintings' so far. All of them were pictures of the back taken by silly netizens. They were named 'Boss Pei at Fish-Catching Internet Cafe', 'Boss Pei at Fish-Catching Take-Out', and 'Boss Pei at Work'.
The first one was taken when Fish-Catching Internet Cafe 3.0 had just opened. The second one was taken when he was eating at Fish-Catching Take-Out and the reporter happened to be interviewing him. The third one was taken when he was sorting out the mind map at Fish-Catching Internet Cafe near Handong University.
However, wasn't this topic already in the past?
The matter of drawing the mind map in Fish-Catching Internet Cafe had indeed caused a heated discussion on the internet. However, netizens had fish memories. They should have forgotten about it long ago. Why were they discussing it again?
Pei Qian took a look at the time of the post.
That's not right. This seems to have been posted last night?
It had only been one night, and it had already been pushed up to more than a thousand posts?
Pei Qian had a bad premonition and quickly clicked in to take a look.
There was a photo at the top of the post. It was the IOI qualifier ceremony last night. The upper half of the picture was very normal. The players were standing neatly. The five members of FV Team were standing in the middle, preparing to represent IOI in the international competition. However, the lower half of the picture was very ridiculous. There was only one audience in the empty front row!
Pei Qian took a closer look. Wasn't that himself?
"When was this taken?!"
Pei Qian was very confused. After thinking about it carefully, he realized that this should have been taken when the audience finally left. Coincidentally, there were many people in the front row, and Pei Qian could not be bothered to squeeze in. He found a random seat and sat down. That was how the composition came about.
In fact, the photographer of this composition was very cunning. He didn't get the whole truth.
The truth was that many people had just left the venue before the photo was taken. Pei Qian was indeed the last to leave the venue. After all, he lived the closest to the venue and was the least anxious.
However, that did not mean that the audience had left long ago. Boss Pei was the only one who watched until the end.
What's more, many people in the back row were waiting in their seats like Pei Qian. They were not in a hurry to leave.
However, this videographer had only filmed the first three to four rows on purpose. He had not filmed the audience in the back. Thus, by a freak combination of factors, it had created a feeling that 'Boss Pei was the only one left in the empty stadium'.
Then, he looked at the post below the picture.
The original author had only uploaded this photo without much description, and there was no need for too much description.
Everyone could tell that there were fifteen players on stage, and Boss Pei's back was below the stage.
On the surface, there did not seem to be much to discuss. However, it had to be said that the netizens' wisdom was boundless. The most liked comment below was written by several netizens together. They had actually created a 'masterpiece appreciation'!
…
"World-famous painting: The Last Spectator."
"This is the latest of Boss Pei's world-famous paintings. It is also about to become the most famous work. Among many similar works, this painting is considered to be unprecedented. It is especially fascinating because of its ingenious conception, excellent layout, realistic details, and rich connotation. "
"In the picture, the ecstasy of the members of FV Club, the background of the other two clubs, and the empty auditorium present a perfect contrast to the back view in the middle of the picture. It also conveys rich psychological content. It is a rare masterpiece."
…
"Introduction to the story:
"'The Last Spectator' tells the story of Boss Pei going to Shanghai alone in the winter of the Year of Xinmao."
"In the month of the Year of Xinmao, the international conglomerate Dayak and Long Yu Corporation jointly organized the qualifiers in Shanghai. They wanted to use the international competition to strengthen their reputation and suppress Tengda. Eight E-Sports Clubs responded and gathered in Shanghai. In an instant, flags fluttered, and soldiers gathered. They seemed to be overshadowing Tengda. "
"There were also a group of demons who bewitched people and spread rumors."
"At this juncture, the situation was urgent. Tengda's generals were anxious and asked Boss Pei: The enemy is powerful. What can we do?"
"Boss Pei smiled calmly: A motley crew, nothing more than chickens and dogs. What's there to worry about? In less than three days, the enemy would collapse without a fight. "
"The generals were skeptical when they heard that."
"It's the right time to travel."
"Boss Pei went to Shanghai alone and went to the meeting alone. Tengda's generals were shocked. How could the commander-in-chief of the three armies take such a risk? However, Boss Pei had already secretly sent spies to hide in the qualifiers. These five people were all elites in the military. The five of them had the courage of ten thousand men together. The bandits were powerful, but they did not know that the situation in Shanghai was already under Boss Pei's control. "
"The next day, the five warriors and the clubs fought fiercely. From morning to dusk, the battle was intense. Millions of corpses were lying on the ground, and blood flowed like rivers. Boss Pei supervised the battle from the frontline. His expression was calm and composed. The five warriors became braver as they fought. As they chatted and laughed, the boats turned into ashes. "
"After this battle, the reputation of the five warriors in the qualifiers spread far and wide. The demons fled at the sight of them, and the motley crew collapsed without a fight. Boss Pei went to the meeting alone and went deep into the enemy's nest. From then on, the Shanghai clubs were terrified. When they heard Boss Pei's name, the children did not dare to cry at night. "
"Later generations have poems praising him:
"Boss Pei's wisdom is rare in the world. He dares to go to the meeting alone and bully others. A small boat travels a thousand miles, and millions of soldiers take off their battle clothes."
…
"Painting Appreciation:"
"This painting uses a symmetrical design. The composition can be roughly divided into three parts: the upper center, the two sides of the upper part, and the lower part."
"The upper center is made up of five members of the FV Club. They have just won the qualifiers after ten rounds and obtained the first seeded spot in the IOI World Competition. They are in high spirits and occupy the main position of the picture."
"The upper two sides are the other two teams that have obtained spots in the international competition. Their expressions are calmer as they obtained the second and third seeds. It serves as a foil for the FV Club members in the middle."
"The lower part is the empty audience seats and Boss Pei's back view in the middle of the front row."
"The empty audience seats create a desolate and cold atmosphere. There are two meanings to this: On one hand, Long Yu Corporation's arrangements for the competition are unreasonable. The audience is not satisfied with the competition process. Everyone has already left before the competition officially ends. On the other hand, there was a huge commotion before the competition and a mess after the competition. The motley crew was defeated by Boss Pei alone."
"I can only see Boss Pei's back view in the middle, but I can roughly feel his current mentality from his relaxed and confident sitting posture."
"On one hand, he and the five members of the FV Club on stage looked at each other from afar. That means that Boss Pei takes the lead and loves his soldiers like his sons. On the other hand, the venue is empty, but Boss Pei still stayed until the end. That means that Boss Pei respects the competition, the stage, and his opponents. In addition, Boss Pei is calm and composed. That's enough to show that everything is under control."
"The fifteen people in the picture have slight differences in their expressions due to their different personalities and identities. It gives people a slightly messy feeling. However, Boss Pei's back view connects the expressions of these fifteen people. They echo and connect with each other, so that the emotions of the characters in this famous work are no longer isolated. "
"On stage, below the stage, the front face, the back view, one bright, one dark, one moving, one quiet. It forms a sharp contrast. The meaning is deep, and the layout is exquisite. It is indeed a masterpiece!"
…
Pei Qian fell into a daze after reading the most popular comments in the post.
What the hell was this?!
Who took the photo? Why did you take a photo of me if you have nothing better to do?
And the hot comments below were even more outrageous. What was going on?
How did it become a world-famous painting?
He actually created a construction site's classical Chinese? He even made a f * cking poem!
The most ridiculous thing was that there were actually people who relied on their imagination to make up for the artistic value of this photo and the inner world of everyone in the picture!
This group of idiotic netizens, each and every one of them had their own imagination running wild.
Obviously, the netizens' interpretation of Pei Qian's trip to Shanghai this time had completely deviated.
Pei Qian did not think too much at first. He simply did not want to watch the GPL. He wanted to watch FV lose the competition in Shanghai to relax. He had come alone with a mask on. He had planned to keep a low profile.
In the end, he did not expect the organizers to recognize him for some reason. They insisted on giving him a close-up shot while the competition was going well. They even fanned the flames online.
Now, the entire world knew that Boss Pei had personally attended the IOI qualifiers!
It would have been fine if FV Club had lost. IOI would have earned all the popularity. However, he did not expect FV Club's bladder to be so powerful. They fought for ten rounds and became braver the more they fought. Every stab stabbed into Boss Pei's heart.
Pei Qian knew what was going on, but the onlookers did not!
From the perspective of the onlookers, Boss Pei had always been a strategist, right?
Boss Pei was the one who invested in the restructuring of FV Club, right?
Boss Pei had personally supervised the battle until the end of the competition. That was not wrong, right?
In any case, in the end, the popularity was earned by FV Club and the GPL league.
On one hand, everyone felt that IOI's competition was not formal. They had to watch a formal competition in the GPL. On the other hand, most people's first reaction was FV Team, the strongest IOI team in the country at the moment.
This club did not have much brand value but it had celebrity players, strength, achievements, and topics of conversation. It was definitely IOI's top traffic.
Analyze the cause and then analyze the result.
What role did Boss Pei play in all of this? Wasn't that self-evident?
Boss Pei was the only one carrying the IOI qualifiers and FV Club's championship this time. There should be no problem with that, right?
Who could refute it? Who would dare to refute it?
Since that was the case, it was reasonable to add a little embellishment to the story, increase its artistic and dramatic value, and analyze the internal reasons in depth, right?
After all, most legends were exaggerated. The more exaggerated they were, the more popular they would be, and the more people would like to hear it.
Thus, after a night of brainstorming and brainstorming, the literary giants on the internet embellished the story of 'Boss Pei went to Shanghai alone' into the current version, adding oil and vinegar.
The poem 'A small boat travels a thousand kilometers, millions of soldiers take off their battle clothes' made it infinitely more impressive.
The meaning of this poem was that Tengda had millions of soldiers. They were supposed to go to Shanghai and meet Long Yu Corporation on the battlefield. In the end, Boss Pei came to Shanghai alone and the enemy immediately collapsed. Tengda's millions of soldiers did not even have to go to war before they took off their battle robes.
Boss Pei alone was comparable to a million soldiers!
Boss Pei was not only a strategist and unparalleled in intelligence, but his courage was also rare in the world!
The entire story was becoming more and more ridiculous.
