Peak glory

'Ouch, this is so loving. '

'Imitating Sister Xue like this, won't I be 'tutored'? '

'Yes!It's not their food, it's the two war gods who are too powerful. '

……

Wei Lain and Jiang Su were having dinner at the restaurant when the news of the storm's arrogance was widely circulated on the Internet and attracted fans to ridicule wildly.

In the afternoon, Jiang Su couldn't wait to meet Wei Laiyin, but there was a replay meeting after the match between Liuhuo and the national team, so she insisted on waiting until the evening for Wei Laiyin who was free.

The two drank wine with gossip, watching the wind of public opinion on the Internet being led by one dynamic of the rainstorm to another direction, which attracted praise and ridicule from many netizens and fans.

When Shi Xue said this at the God of War Cup, who would have thought that a few months later, these words would come out of Rainstorm in a similar situation.

"Although it's just a practice match, it's enough to prove that their cooperation is universal." Jiang Su clinked glasses with Wei Laiyin and said with emotion: "Cheers to your vision."

Without Wei Laiyin, there would be no current Shixue and Rainstorm. If Wei Laiyin hadn't been tempted to fight with those two people at the beginning, we wouldn't be able to see the heroic appearance of Aurora today.For this, Jiang Su thanked Wei Laiyin for his decisiveness and boldness from the bottom of his heart.Business is business, and no amount of money can buy the touch when your feelings are satisfied.

Wei Laiyin curled the corner of her mouth, but she didn't see much pride, and said in a flat tone: "I just tried it out with the idea of ​​being a dead horse doctor. You should thank Shixue for her persistence."

Jiang Su smiled lightly: "Yes."

After drinking the last sip of wine in the glass, Wei Laiyin took the wine bottle, added more to his and Jiang Su's glasses, and asked, "Did Mr. Wu reply?"

"Well, we will meet in two days to discuss the details." Jiang Su ate his food, glanced at Wei Laiyin with a smile in his eyes, and said, "I was still hesitating, but I will call after the live broadcast in the afternoon."

Wei Laiyin smiled and said: "The live broadcast the day before yesterday and the results of today's game come out, and those who are still watching will become agitated."

The team battle game gave the audience a refreshing viewing experience. The two live broadcasts stimulated the audience's expectations. People who were still watching the market before today, I don't know how many people will act out of impulse after today.There will definitely be countless online competitions in the short term, but it is not certain how many of them can be done well and persisted.

****

It wasn't until the next morning that Shixue saw the post that Rainstorm had posted on the Internet. When Rainstorm came to pick her up, she pointed at the post and joked, "It's pretty fast."

Rainstorm deliberately teased: "I'm afraid you will speak first."

Shi Xue scolded her lightly.

The two watched the news while eating breakfast.Yesterday's game not only caused a lot of trouble in China, but even the foreign media also paid attention to this matter. It is not an exaggeration to say that it shocked the world's mecha circle.

Some people say that the combination of snow and torrential rain is like an eagle that has been coveting the peak and finally flaps its wings. Its wings shake off the last cloud in front of the mountain, and the scenery of the peak is close at hand.

Seeing this statement, Rainstorm couldn't help but look up at Shixue who was sitting opposite her at the moment, feeling strong emotions surging in her heart.She felt that before she met Shixue, she was an eagle that could not fly, an eagle that was unwilling to give up on the peak but was unable to flap its wings. It was Shixue who gave her wings and gave her a chance to take off again.

She must stand on top of the world with Shi Xue, overlooking the scenery under the clouds, it must be a beautiful scenery.

Sensing her gaze, Shi Xue raised her head and looked over. Those eyes that were always arrogant were full of light that made people look forward to the future. The light was shining all the time, and it was also stirring her heartstrings at this moment, making her want to monopolize it. I want to protect, I want to be a light source.

"What?" Shi Xue, who was drinking porridge, looked over suspiciously.

Rainstorm suppressed the surging emotions in his heart, turned his attention to the projection screen, clicked on a piece of news, and said, "Look, Annie has posted."

Annie is H who has fought against Shi Xue and won the world championship, so she has a close relationship with Shi Xue.She posted a blunt statement on the social platform this morning that if the international competition system does not change, Aurora will undoubtedly become a strong opponent for all players, and it is also expected to win the world championship.

This statement was endorsed by many mecha fans and players.

Shi Xue glanced at the news page and snorted disdainfully, "It's just that the individual competition is gone, it's hypocrisy."

Rainstorm was a bit surprised by Shixue's attitude. In her impression, Shixue had no record of grudges with others. Except for the few A's she had "scummed" with, she had a good relationship with people in the circle.Even Gao Shasha and the others, who fought against her every year in Yunguan and lost to her every year, were as close and respectful to her as they were to their sister.

It may be because of this impression, she thought that Shi Xue's relationship with those players in the international competition would not be bad.So at this moment, Shi Xue's tone of disgust when she said Annie was too real, which really aroused her curiosity and freshness.

If she remembers correctly, Shi Xue lost to Anne in two international competitions, but although Shi Xue is obsessed with being strong, she is definitely not someone who hates each other for the sake of being inferior to others, she knows this best.

Rainstorm couldn't help asking curiously: "Did you have a festival with her?"

Shi Xue glared at her, but she was spooning porridge into her mouth, her anger was clearly revealed through her impatient movements.

Rainstorm thought to herself, it seems so, she immediately shut her mouth sensibly.

After breakfast, the two went to the club for training, and as soon as they entered the locker room, they felt the unusually high training enthusiasm of their teammates.The excitement after yesterday's game has not dissipated, and the momentum is full.Being encouraged by Aurora is one aspect, and the frustration of being beaten helplessly also gave these people a very good stimulus.

The replay analysis meeting after yesterday's game is not only useful for the national team, but also for everyone in Liuhuo. Therefore, the main training content in the short term is to conduct practical operations based on the experience summarized in the analysis meeting.

As soon as she entered the simulation cabin and just connected to the game, Shi Xue couldn't help but sigh: "When will the new simulation cabin be put on the market? I miss that sensitivity."

Rainstorm comforted her with a funny smile: "It shouldn't be too long, the system should be upgraded if the new Bingsuan cabin type is not put on the market."

Shi Xue was dissatisfied: "The upgrade of the system must be matched with the new functions of the new cabin to be brought into full play."

Dong Ying, who just joined the channel, just heard this, and couldn't help but said: "Don't be extreme, you will cry again when you are extreme."

The laughter of teammates came from the channel.After the joke, officially enter the training state.

Aurora's performance yesterday was largely thanks to the new type of cabin. Shi Xue knew this best. She couldn't do that with the old cabin. The sensitivity of the new cabin made up for her lack of tacit understanding with the rainstorm. .

Although everyone was touting Aurora's performance yesterday, Shi Xue knew very well that yesterday's excellent performance was also related to the excellent state of her and Rainstorm's burst of extreme excitement.

It is impossible for them to mobilize their emotions to the level of excitement in every game, especially when there are games every day during the competition, fatigue will consume their excitement points, and excessive excitement will also consume them state, we cannot rely on this emotion to play games every time.

Their cooperation still needs to be honed, so that they can be as comfortable as breathing, so that they can play the best cooperation when they are tired.

Not only that, but her personal skills will continue to improve.Yesterday's style of play can be used in individual competitions, but not necessarily in team battles.It is impossible for Rainstorm to maintain a fully open state throughout the entire team battle. That style of play can only be used as a secret weapon to win by surprise. She needs to use her control skills to save effort for Rainstorm.

In fact, the reason why she used the boundary line to kill Jin Hu yesterday was to buy some buffer time for the heavy rain after the full opening.

Just like her cooperation with Rainstorm at the beginning, once someone starts to study Aurora, the weakness of Rainstorm's style of play will be exposed, and they must have more weapons.

But fortunately, even though everyone said that her control yesterday was superb, she knew that she could do better!She is not afraid to stop at yesterday.

Squeezing Rainstorm's hand, Shixue said to Rainstorm on the stand-alone channel: "I heard that the two of you have a good understanding after reaching a certain level."

Rainstorm shook Shixue back, hooked the corner of his mouth, and said, "We are also the ones who have crossed the blue line."

"Ah."

The video of the match between Liuhuo and the national team was uploaded over and over again on the Internet, and Aurora's heroic appearance was edited and made into various "blockbusters" by fans, overwhelming the Internet.The topic and popularity of team battles have not subsided for a long time, and the audience is looking forward to more team battles.

In such an atmosphere, as Wei Laiyin expected, many platforms began to hold online team battles.But it is a pity that there are not many clubs in China that can produce decent teams.Not all team battles can be played like Liuhuo vs. Eternal Sky, or Liuhuo vs. the national team.

Almost all the live broadcasts of team battles are extremely rough, which not only exposes the rough thinking of the game organizers, but also quickly exposes the general situation that the industry is currently not fully prepared for team battles.

After all, the team battle competition is still a new type of competition, and it is still some time before it gets on the right track.

Taking advantage of the upsurge, online competitions held by various platforms popped up every three days, but rough competitions would only dampen the enthusiasm of the audience, and if they watched too much, they would lose enthusiasm.As a result, the audience's attention quickly shifted to the new God of War Cup.

The audition time for the new God of War Cup was two months earlier than in previous years. In addition, there was the first rookie contest. God of War Cup audition.

Every year during the God of War Cup audition, there will be wonderful or funny competition videos on the Internet.There are competitions every year, and the wonderful flowers are different.While everyone is following the jokes, some outstanding amateur players will also be sought after by netizens and the media. Everyone is looking forward to the emergence of surprising dark horses.

However, almost no amateur players can reach the end of the competition. After entering the advanced competition where professional players start to enter, those players who performed well in the audition will soon disappear.But this does not affect the enthusiasm of the audience to continue to look for miracles among amateur players next year.

This year, there is a rookie competition, and those young players have received more attention, so the God of War Cup has added some different colors and atmosphere.

Compared with the endless joyful jokes in the God of War Cup professional competition, the enthusiasm of young players in the God of War Cup in the rookie competition seems to have injected fresh blood into the God of War Cup, making the God of War Cup, which has been held for more than a dozen sessions, feel full of vitality.

The format of the rookie competition has also brought convenience to professional clubs in discovering talents. Since the start of the competition, there have been reports of clubs signing new players from time to time, and a new storm of development has set off in the entire industry.

The Ares Cup is burning as always, but this year's topic about the Ares Cup, the two names Shixue and Rainstorm have a higher rate of appearance than in previous years.In the past, Xue would only talk about their affairs after the start of the advanced competition. One was based on the theme of changing partners, and the other was that they did not have a partner this year.

However, the two people who were unable to participate in the God of War Cup this year have been talking about it since the God of War Cup started, but the main content of the topic has become that they are not participating.

****

While waiting for Wei Laiyin in Wei Laiyin's office, Shi Xue and Rainstorm watched the news about the God of War Cup while drinking coffee.

Originally, these professional players had a strong interest in the annual audition. Neither of them could participate in the competition this year. Pay more attention to the game in previous years.

In order to separate the rookie competition from the professional competition, the competition time of the rookie competition and the audition for the professional competition are carried out at the same time. , and enter the Cloud Pavilion together.

At this moment, the reporter in the news is interviewing a pair of rookies in conjunction with a battle video. This pair is the biggest dark horse in the rookie competition. Because of their outstanding skills, they are dubbed "Little Rain" and "Little Snow" by the audience and the media. '.

The two [-]-year-old children have childish faces. I don't know if it's because they won all the way, or because they believed in the praise of the media and the audience. The confidence in their eyes reveals obvious impetuousness.

Shi Xue took a sip of coffee, and the more she listened, the more disdainful she became, and said, "Little 'storm'? Let's blow! It's just a little 'storm'."

Rainstorm was amused by her disdainful tone: "The kid is very good, why do you despise him so much? You were at the same age when you came out, didn't you win the championship?"

Having said that, Rainstorm couldn't help thinking carefully about the year when Shixue debuted.

She was only 17 years old that year, and the registration age for the God of War Cup was [-], so she could only follow the news through the news while looking forward to being able to participate in the next year.Then when I saw in the news that the young Shi Xue went all the way to the Yun Pavilion and won the championship, she was so admired.

At that time, the news said that Shixue would become the leader of the new generation. As expected, this leader has grown all the way to this day, and there is still no tendency to stop.

Rainstorm looked at Shixue who was sitting next to her at the moment. Back then, she would never have imagined that one day she would be held down by her idol and become her A, and because of this, she was rescued from the brink of retirement by the idol.

Shi Xue said: "I don't despise children, I despise the media."

I don't know if it's because the media used them to nickname the young players in order to continue the topicality that was cast on the two of them in previous years.She said contemptuously, "I dare to take any name in order to gain attention. Where will the child's self-esteem be found when he is killed by us next year?"

There is such a little bit of earnestness in the words that are so crazy that they are taken for granted, as if they are really worried about the children.

Hearing the word 'next year', Rainstorm couldn't help laughing out loud after being taken aback.She can still have "next year" as a matter of course, thanks to Shixue's blessing.

After the interview session, the news host introduced the situation of the new round of auditions, then changed the subject and said, "It's a pity that Aurora can't participate this year..."

"Tsk." As soon as these words came out, Shi Xue immediately shut down the cast screen angrily.The fact that she and Rainstorm couldn't compete was said over and over again, as if no one knew about it.

If it had been before, it might not have been said so often, but the battle with the national team was regarded as the battle of Aurora, and the industry's attention to Aurora was particularly strong, and the aftertaste of that game lingered for a long time.

Therefore, the regret that Aurora may not be seen in a short period of time has made people talk more about these two topical characters in previous years.

Previously, Shixue didn't feel too much about not being able to participate in the God of War Cup. She felt that she would not participate if she didn't participate, but once she really didn't qualify for the competition, she still felt very uncomfortable.After all, it is an event that I participate in every year, and I am suddenly isolated. I really don't feel used to it.

Seeing the heavy rain, Shixue was irritable and deliberately teased: "We have also experienced the feeling of retiring in advance."

These words sounded like a joke, but Rainstorm felt a burst of embarrassment and fear in his heart.If there is no Shixue, the feeling of powerlessness of wandering on the edge of the professional circle at this moment will be dozens of times stronger, and it may even turn into despair.

Seeing Shixue staring at him, Rainstorm deliberately joked deeply, "You must cherish your career."

The irritability in Shi Xue's eyes became lighter, but her lips were still tightly pursed, and the displeasure between her brows almost turned into a laser cannon and shot out.

The sound of trampling footsteps came from outside the door, and Wei Laiyin's voice floated in first: "Is this the beginning of lamenting your career?" The two turned around and saw Wei Laiyin and Jiang Su walking in together, "It's too early order?"

Shi Xue, who has been training in Liuhuo recently, hasn't seen Jiang Su for a while.

In previous years, this time is the peak period of commercial competitions, because the professional circle is playing the God of War Cup advanced competition from May to July, which is the off-season of commercial competitions, so there are especially many commercial competitions before May.But this year there was a rookie competition, and it was affected by the team battle competition, so Aurora has never received a suitable business competition, and Shixue and Rainstorm have been staying in Liuhuo all the time.

"Oh." Rainstorm was deliberately deep again, "I am a person who almost retired, and now I have a lot of feelings."

As soon as these words came out, the other three couldn't help but exchanged glances, and tacitly stopped continuing this topic.

Wei Laiyin sat on his office chair, Jiang Su didn't bother to move the chair, and sat down directly at the corner of the desk.Rainstorm offered to give way, but Jiang Su pressed her shoulder to signal no need.

As soon as Wei Laiyin sat down, she went straight to the point: "The minor league roster has been finalized, and the day for the ribbon-cutting has also been finalized. In order to build momentum, an exhibition game will be held."

When the training camp was held at the end of the year, Rainstorm knew that Wei Laiyin was planning something. During this time, Wei Laiyin was also very busy. It wasn't until recently that she knew what Wei Laiyin was planning.

For the purpose of accumulating experience, Liuhuo and Eternal Sky have joined forces with several clubs to set up a small league for team battles, and will also establish a subsidiary league 'Skyfire Cup'.The Lianniao Club, which I visited during the training camp, is also a member of the alliance, and it is a big sponsor of the main venue for the 'Sky Fire Cup' competition.

The name 'Tianhuo' itself was used in the industry to praise Liuhuo and Eternal Sky.Now this league is under the banner of Liuhuo and Eternal Sky, and it is directly named the Skyfire Cup.People who know the two clubs will have the illusion that the league is very powerful when they hear the name at first. Wei Laiyin and Jiang Su are trying to use this illusion to make a gimmick.

"Exhibition game?"

"Yes." Wei Laiyin raised his eyebrows a little proudly, "Live stadium competition."

"Real scene?!" Rainstorm and Shixue were both startled.

After the upsurge in team battles was set off, various platforms broadcast live broadcasts of various team battles every three days, but they were all online games, because the reluctance of clubs that hadn’t had time to adapt to team battles was really appalling. It's okay to play online games, no one dares to hold live field games.

Shi Xue raised her eyebrows suspiciously: "Are you sure the current minor league can play a decent live-action game?"

The live-action match can't be just one match. In addition to Liuhuo and Zhoutian who have decent team battle experience in the minor leagues, other clubs have not yet stepped on the right track. If one accidentally smashes the signboard of the Tianhuo Cup, don't worry about it. The Skyfire Cup died before it was born.

"Exhibition matches are aimed at building momentum. Of course, we have to invite people to play, and we have to invite famous and worthy people to play." Wei Laiyin smiled meaningfully, and after speaking, he and Jiang Su looked at each other. No matter how you look at it, it feels a bit wicked.

Rainstorm's eyes walked back and forth between Wei Laiyin and Jiang Su, and asked, "Who is worth seeing? Who is it?"

Not to mention that this is related to the reputation of the Tianhuo Cup, and regardless of whether the Tianhuo Cup will be powerful or not, as the first live team battle in China, it is really necessary to create a bigger momentum.Therefore, an exhibition game must not only attract the audience, but also retain the audience. Then the game cannot be played too poorly. While it is interesting, it must also have a certain strength.At present, there are not many clubs in China that can achieve these two points.

Jiang Su smiled faintly: "Wolf King."

After the words fell, there was a moment of silence among the four, and then Shi Xue asked back with uncertainty: "What?"

Wei Laiyin was very satisfied with Shi Xue's reaction, and asked awkwardly: "How is it? Surprised? Is Gao happy? Your deadly enemy is coming."

Dazed in a daze, Rainstorm read the meaning of Wei Laiyin's words, and subconsciously turned to look at Shixue.Driven by her movements, Shixue also turned her head to look at her, her gaze that was not focused due to doubts gradually became clear after meeting her, the suspicion on her face gradually turned into a trace of sternness, and obvious excitement shone in her eyes .

It wasn't until seeing the corners of Shi Xue's mouth raised in excitement, and the ambitious emotion in those eyes, that Rainstorm, who was in a daze, came back to his senses.

Wolf King, one of the most famous machine warfare clubs in the world, is at the level of Liuhuo and Eternal Sky in China.However, this is not the point. The point is that the wolf king has Annie and Julia, and Shixue was defeated by them twice.And... Shi Xue and Annie still have a festive season.

Rainstorm understood the excitement in Shi Xue's eyes, it was the excitement of killing the enemy.
