Quadruple split

Game time AM11:25

Public space, Red Constellation Conference Room

"This game is too unprofessional."

Pioneer smacked his lips in displeasure and complained: "In a competition of this level, if you can't find anyone, you can't find anyone. The captain obviously played in the third game, but he was inexplicably notified to be moved to the second game. Isn’t it so outrageous!”

Han Guang, who was standing next to him, also frowned and said in a deep voice: "Not only that, according to the official news, if the [Anonymous] hasn't come back after the captain is finished, then the next game will be between Guo Shi Wushuang and Cordo Watt’s battle, and the winner between them will compete with the captain in the first game of the semi-finals.”

"Speak more carefully, Awakening Dragon hasn't won yet."

Hanmei, who was not in a very good mood either, glared at Han Guang and said angrily: "Who taught you the habit of opening champagne in advance? Did Xue Ran just forget about the loss he suffered just in the blink of an eye?"

"That's right!"

Xueran, who lost to Xinglong in the bet because of Hanguang's unexpected defeat, immediately jumped up, pointed at Hanguang and grinned: "Useless thing!"

"Come on, you obviously lost worse than me."

Han Guang glared at Xue Ran, who was also defeated by Ji Lan, and snorted angrily, then shook his head and said: "Anyway, I think this is a bit unfair. It would be fine if everything went according to plan, but because of an accident, the captain had to... ...Well, I really don’t think it’s appropriate for the captain to be the first to play in the next round if he wins this game.”

"Not beautiful."

The gentleman said something concisely and concisely, and repeated while sipping the old Shanxi vinegar in the cup: "It's not beautiful."

"But that being said, it's not like you don't know the official attitude of this game."

Hanmei rolled her eyes, spread her hands and said, "I'm afraid we will definitely suffer from this mute."

"Not necessarily."

As a result, at this moment, Kunou, who had been leaning on the back of the chair in a daze, suddenly regained his clarity in his eyes. He turned his head and said seriously to everyone: "Maybe we can really force the officials to change their minds this time."

"ha?"

Except for Xinglong who always kept his eyes closed and meditated on the sofa, the others all widened their eyes in surprise and cast inexplicable and horrifying glances at Jiuzong.

Out of trust, everyone did not directly refute this girl who had already won everyone's trust and was always the coach. However, even Hanmei, who had the best relationship with Kunou, almost regarded Kunou as her own sister (or even mother). His blood was stained with disbelief, and he obviously felt that what he just said was a bit too outrageous.

If you want to ask why, it is naturally that [Innocent Company] has never made even one compromise to players. Although it is a new company, it is famous for its "straight" and has never been included in but not limited to public opinion, rhythm, and inflammation. When the incident affects even the slightest, highlight a person who goes his own way.

Under this premise, Kunou actually said wildly that he might 'force the official to change their mind', which naturally made everyone feel extremely outrageous.

"Listen to me first."

However, Jiuzhong showed an expected smile and smiled in her usual quiet voice: "Do you know what I have been doing just now?"

"I don't know~"

Everyone responded in a long tone in unison like children.

"I carefully checked the detailed rules of the game that the commentators said were 'up to six figures'."

Kokonoe picked up the green tea in front of him and took a sip, and said leisurely: "The result is very unexpected. Although the first tens of thousands of words are quite satisfactory, there are a lot of misappropriations of other event descriptions in the back. Although there is no such thing as [asking for guilt] Debate] It was a low-level mistake in writing [Olathe War Global Finals], but if you observe carefully, you will find a lot of strange things. Of course, this is not the focus of what I want to say..."

"etc!"

At this time, Yin Yue suddenly stood up, looked at Jiuzhong with an indifferent expression in shock, and said in astonishment: "Sister Jiujiu, you have read hundreds of thousands of words in such a short period of time!?"

"Of course it's impossible. After all, I'm not a computer."

Kunou shook his head and said with a smile: "Don't forget that we professional players are originally obliged to confirm the game instructions in detail. Although most of you just glanced at it briefly, I have always seen it in units before. Although I wasn’t too careful, so I couldn’t find the problem right away, but when I re-searched with purpose, it didn’t take long to simply sort it out.”

Hanmei laughed twice and complained: "That's enough for a monster. Do you really know how to look carefully at something long and nutritious?"

"Someone has to watch. As far as I know, the alchemist from Broken Wind Bird, Pai Lao's coach Hippo Man, Ying Ying Yan's Diary of a Girl, and Lorelei from the Four Heavenly Kings of Tokiwa will all be the first to watch this kind of competition. The format is thoroughly researched.”

Kunou shrugged and glanced at everyone subtly: "Do you think... besides me, who else in our constellation can do this?"

Everyone shook their heads in unison again.

"Ask a question!"

A few seconds later, Xueran suddenly raised his hand and asked, "Can't my colleagues in the technical department..."

"Do you know how much work colleagues in the technical department have to do in a day?"

Jiuchong walked up to Xueran and gave the latter a brain-shaking blow. He shook his head and said, "They have to do all the things like analyzing videos, analyzing skills, analyzing equipment, analyzing talents, studying maps, studying history, studying tasks, and studying sub-professions. , I made soup the night before yesterday and went to the technical department to express my condolences. It turned out that the entire department was working overtime. Xiao Chen’s dark circles were so heavy that he looked like he was wearing smoky makeup. You still want them to help you even with the rules of the competition? Have we studied it?”

After hearing this, Xueran immediately stuck out his tongue and said nonchalantly: "That seems... it is indeed a bit excessive."

"So, Jiujiu."

Hanmei, who also wears a game character vest in public spaces, hugged Jiuzhong's legs and rubbed them while asking: "What on earth did you find? Ah~ the texture of this black stocking!"

"These are black leggings, not black stockings!"

Kokonoe fell down on the sofa with a look of helplessness. After trying to throw Hanmei off to no avail, he continued: "To put it simply, I found that what those smiling faces and handsome guys said was different from the real details. The rules are not up to par. In other words, they are just bullying everyone and they will not look at the six-digit details. In fact, there is nothing in the rules about someone missing the game."

As soon as he said this, everyone was shocked. Even Xinglong, who seemed to be oblivious to what was going on outside the window, opened his eyes and turned to Jiuzhong, casting a searching look at him.

"Scared?"

The girl...or even though she was a bit reluctant in terms of age, because of her childish face and petite body, she looked more girlish than many girls. Kokonoe shrugged, spread her hands and said, "Do you dare to believe it? A serious game company can actually make this This is such a crazy thing to deceive players."

Including Xinglong, everyone shook their heads in unison for the third time.

"I think this is what they have in mind. After all, this kind of thing has been stopped in the industry a long time ago. I am the oldest among us, but even when I was young and had not yet entered the industry, , I have never heard of such a thing.”

Jiuzhong held his forehead and sighed, and said helplessly: "After all, it has long been known to the public that goods must be matched to the board. No company can afford the consequences of goods not meeting the board, so no one has this concept anymore. , and the Innocence Company... may have taken advantage of this loophole."

Xueran's eyes suddenly widened and he said loudly: "Then if we expose this matter..."

"Both sides suffer."

Kokonoe shook his head and shrugged: "It is certain that the crowd is excited, but considering the quality of the fault level of Innocence, in the end everyone should probably scold and have fun, and our club will be offended head-on for a long time to come. Innocence Company that will be home for some time.”

Hanmei, who was still leaning on Jiuzhong's lap, frowned and said doubtfully: "No, with so many players in the Innocence Realm, it's impossible for Jiujiu to be the only one who discovered this, right? Even if everyone doesn't usually have this habit, it can't be ruled out. People with bibliophilia would like to read this stuff, right?”

"That's right, so what I just looked at were the old rules that I used to back up to the leader of the second team through friend messages. Because forwarding in a public space can be confusing, it only took me less than half a day to send all those texts. Give it to her."

After trying to tear Hanmei off his leg again to no avail, Jiuzhong said with a complicated expression: "As a result, after I checked the online rules that can be opened directly in public spaces, I found that they had quietly changed the content, that is, Say, we can’t even produce evidence when the Innocence Bound game cabin is not compatible with any peripherals, and the same must be true for others.”

"ah?"

The pioneer was stunned for a moment and said in astonishment: "Then your efforts are not in vain?"

"That's not necessarily true. After all, our reputation is there. The words 'Red Constellation' itself are an invisible evidence."

Jiuzhong Liu raised his eyebrows and said with a rare sly smile: "Tearing each other down is definitely the worst strategy, so I plan to contact the officials directly and use this matter to blackmail them into revising the competition system. In terms of specific methods, my request is very simple. That means the order of matches in the upper and lower halves is completely random.”

"Understood."

Hanmei immediately understood what his old friend meant, and nodded: "The opponents in the next round will remain the same, and the format will remain the same, but the order of battle will be changed from the original 'first game in the upper half to last game in the lower half' It’s completely random, right?”

Jiuzhong nodded vigorously and said happily: "That's what it means."

"Well……"

Xueran scratched his hair in confusion and asked curiously: "I was thinking, there are only four games left in the next round. Is it necessary to work so hard?"

"I see!"

Han Guang slapped his thigh hard and said with a smile: "Sister Jiujiu's idea is probably to let the captain avoid the first game which theoretically can give the opponent the best research period. After all, Guilty Company is not a fool and must have known that we proposed The fundamental reason for the protest is that they are dissatisfied that the captain inexplicably became the first to fight in the semi-finals, so if they accept our proposal, then they can at least avoid the first group of the semi-finals 100%, right?"

"That's right."

Hanmei and Jiuzhong gave an affirmative answer in unison.

"Ah, it's so troublesome."

Xue Ran threw himself lazily on the sofa and complained: "It's obviously just a small matter, is it necessary to go to such a big fuss?"

"some."

Although his qualifications are not much deeper than Xue Ran, Pioneer was the first to nod and reply: "Maybe ordinary players don't care, but we are the ones who eat this bowl of rice, even if we can only improve one thousandth or ten thousand Do whatever you have a 1/1 chance of winning."

"Okay, okay, I just complained and didn't say anything against it."

His mouth was stained with blood, and then he kicked off his boots and huddled up on the sofa with his bare feet.

"Then, the matter is settled. I will report the problem to the official customer service. If nothing else happens, they should compromise and adopt my suggestions during the semi-finals. After all, there is no loss for the official in this kind of thing. "

Jiuzhong clapped his hands, then turned to look at Xinglong: "Is there no problem with you, Captain?"

"no problem."

Xinglong immediately gave an affirmative answer without hesitation. Although in his opinion, the order of the game does not matter at all, and it is not important to play too early to give others more time to prepare countermeasures in the game, but As the leader of a team, Xinglong must set an example for others, so naturally he would not have any objections to such a proposal that was beneficial to him. Jiuzhong's actions would only make him feel grateful.

For Xinglong, the only thing that requires him to devote his energy now is to win one game after another, especially the next one. Gonggong, he shoulders the last hope of the entire club. Privately, as long as he defeats that Lei Bay Hopkins, he can compete with that Cordoba again in the next game!

That's right, although he was still teaching Xueran not to be too one-sided when looking at problems, in Xinglong's view, although Guoshi Wushuang is very strong, the chance of winning in front of Cordoba is probably less than 10%, and even in the entire sixteen Among the strongest, the only ones who have more than 30% chance of winning against Cordoba are himself and the [Anonymous] who for some reason did not show up.

And when he thought of being able to fight against Cordoba, which was obviously different from what it used to be, Xinglong could not suppress the surging fighting spirit in his heart, and could not control the boiling blood that he had not experienced for a long, long time.

As for Rebel Hopkins…

When he closed his eyes again, Xinglong had forgotten her name.

That is just an obstacle that must be overcome.

【Cordoba. 】

Silently clasping his hands, Xinglong's thoughts drifted uncontrollably to the semi-finals battle.

And on the other side——

…

"I've been waiting for you for a long time."

In the center of the simple private room, the blond girl with blue eyes clenched her fists tightly, looking at the poster on the wall with the title [Dragon Comes to the World] featuring someone as a gimmick, and there seemed to be a ball of raging anger burning in her eyes——

"Dragon!!!!!"
