Stand-in king

"Uh..." Sun Tianrui was speechless.

In fact, what he wanted to ask was not this...

Mo Xu stood up and left silently.

The official side may not have thought that Mxmx would lose to a rookie with such a small gap. It involves the comparison between the two teams. It is not good to start touting the rookie rashly without communicating with Tianwu. A good interview couldn't be carried out, and the host quickly let four contestants off the stage, replacing the first or second of the qualifiers——

The Ergo.Snipers team and the YoungGamer team took the stage.

When Meng Xun came down from the stage, his face turned pale and he was in a daze.

Ah... lost.

In fact, it is not the first time he has lost in an offline game, but the situation seems a little different today.

It feels like he can foresee the eye-catching news headlines that the troublesome media will write. Sometimes he even wonders if Zhang Fan's public relations fee is not enough, or why these media like to find him so much Woolen cloth?

If good things are not reported, bad things cannot be suppressed.

Back at Tianwu's contestant seat, Meng Xun didn't even look at the faces of the others, and sat down on his seat.

The surrounding voices were very noisy, and he couldn't hear the content clearly, but he always felt that they were mocking him.

After an unknown amount of time, a man in uniform suddenly ran up to him: "Brother Xun? The boss said he wants to see you, in the lounge."

Meng Xun looked up and saw that it was one of Zhang Fan's assistants.

"Yeah." He responded lightly, and when he stood up, he frowned unconsciously.

I always feel that the teammates around me are secretly laughing at him.

……

When Meng Xun returned to the lounge, there was no one else there, only Zhang Fan was smoking.

He went in and closed the door, trying to force a smile: "Brother Fan, smoking is not allowed in the lounge." There was also a big no-smoking slogan posted on the wall...

"I can smoke if I want, can the authorities control it?" Zhang Fan turned around with raised eyebrows.

He has the arrogance of capital. After all, his father's company has made a large investment in the official Shennest. It is said that it still holds at least 30% of the shares. If he really wants to smoke in the lounge, no one can say anything.

Of course, I don't know if I will slander him in private.

Meng Xun was a little annoyed by his arrogant face because of his wealth, but he was also in a state of asking for others, so he could only make a smile: "How can it be, Brother Fan just bought the Shenchao official if he wanted, How dare they control you..."

"Exactly." Zhang Fan nodded, walked to the sofa in the middle of the lounge and sat down, staring at Meng Xun.

"Well...you...you just lost the game, right?"

"Ah."

"what happened?"

"In this version, the archer system has been strengthened, so it's not surprising that there will be powerful new shadow dancers... But I was not very lucky just now."

The 0.3% difference in blood volume is really just something that can be solved by the extra damage after a big skill crit.

But critical strikes are a matter of face, no one can be blamed for bad luck.

"What kind of archers are you going to strengthen properly?" Zhang Fan became angry when he heard that, "I think the officials of Shenchao are also making trouble!"

In the past, archers were weak, and it was normal for Mxmx to lose games. Instead, they were praised in various ways when they won. There were few outstanding archers, so Mxmx naturally became a star at this level.

but now……

"No..." The more Zhang Fan thought about it, the more wrong he became, "I have to talk to my dad later and ask them to change the archer back, otherwise we won't be able to implement many of our next plans! Ask, tell me the truth, That Mo Xu is not here, can you fight yourself?"

"Yes, yes, but..." Meng Xun opened his mouth, but didn't continue.

But Zhang Fan seemed to understand what he meant, waved his hand and said, "That's fine, let's stick to the original plan, the coach is also looking for it, so don't delay your training recently. As for today's game... you are sick, you know?" ?”

This is an excuse to issue a press release because he is ill.

Meng Xun nodded: "Understood, should I go to the hospital?"

"Well, let the assistant take you there, you can sleep in the hospital tonight. I have something to do, so I'm leaving first." Zhang Fan stood up after speaking.

"Brother Fan?" Meng Xun was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly smiled, "You don't need someone to warm your bed today?"

Zhang Fan was full of regret, and walked over to touch Meng Xun's back waist: "Today is really not good, I have to go back to deal with the old man. It's hard work for you to stay in the hospital at night and pretend to be sick."

"Yeah." Meng Xun nodded with a smile.

Zhang Fan finally left.

Meng Xun got on the car driven by his assistant to the hospital, his expression finally faded.

The assistant is Zhang Fan's person, he can't make an obvious disgusted expression, he has to endure it, sometimes it really hurts to endure so much, when he is with Mo Xu, at least he is very happy, if nothing else.

Mo Xu is a lazy person, and he is not very meticulous in taking care of others, but from many details, he can feel that this person has feelings for him.

But...he can't be soft-hearted, he hasn't got the things Zhang Fan promised.

Meng Xun closed his eyes and suddenly felt a little tired.

He should have told Zhang Fan that he saw what happened to Mo Xu in the background, but he didn't want to talk about it just now.

Just leave it alone.

……

"Brother Xun?" The assistant stopped the car and woke up Meng Xun who accidentally fell asleep.

Meng Xun opened his eyes: "Huh? Are you here?"

"Well, it's here. Do you want to dress up? There are masks and other props in the back seat. The boss told you to make your face look a little bit worse. The photographer will be there in 2 minutes, and I will take a few photos of you entering the hospital. Tonight We'll send out a press release."

"Understood." Meng Xun grabbed the bag and suddenly remembered something, "By the way, have the promotional videos of each team been released?"

"Not yet, the one that said it was the final four of the qualifiers has not been edited yet, and it will be released tonight. Don't worry, Brother Xun, I will definitely take a very handsome picture of you, and I will remind you to watch it when it comes out."

"Oh."

……

In the competition venue on the other side, the atmosphere became lively again.

For the time being, no one is discussing the loss of the Mxmx game, because the game between the ES team and the YG team is too exciting.

Mo Xu, who had gone out to smoke, had already sat back. He was still a little curious about the position of the champion of the qualifiers, especially since there was also the ES mentioned by Mr. Zhao.

With the ups and downs of the commentary, the enthusiasm of the fans was also pushed higher and higher. Although there are two new teams, the audience at the scene has spontaneously formed two fan groups, cheering for the two teams respectively.

At 5:30 p.m., the game officially ended. Ergo.Snipers was unstoppable and won the championship title of this NGCC qualifier.

After the game, the official released a promotional video for a total of eight teams on the big screen of the game, including the veteran top four teams and the four new teams from today's game, forming the lineup for the official game, and the official also announced the first team. The time for the first game will be half a month later.

This half month is the last chance for the eight teams to sprint for training, and the officials will also organize the teams to draw lots for the duel lineup.

When Mo Xu returned to the waiting room, the team members were all excited, discussing the released promotional video: "Wow, did you see the promotional video just now? Director Hui is so handsome."

"I think Ruishen is really stunning."

The team members next to him winked and smiled, and were kicked aside by Sun Tianrui.

"Stop teasing me, our brother Xu is the one who is really handsome, do you understand?"

"Uh..." Mo Xu walked over and picked up his coat, "Come on, I still look handsome and fat, so don't argue."

"Hahaha……"

There was a burst of laughter at his words.

When filming promotional videos, uniforms are required to be worn. The last time Yang Pengyi wore that uniform was when he was playing in the "Jijia Cup". Who knows, after Mo Xu's reminder last time and the team members' supervision Well, he lost a lot of weight, and when he put on the team uniform, the clothes hung loosely on his body, no matter how decadent he looked, the effect was the worst.

Yang Pengyi raised her head proudly, like a peacock with its tail open: "Heh! You can say whatever you want, anyway, I've lost so much weight, so I'll be ugly if I take pictures."

He doesn't mind being teased about his size anymore, since his weight-loss plan has paid off.

Mo Xu nodded in agreement, and patted him on the shoulder: "Keep it up, you look much healthier now than before."

In fact, tonight there will be interviews with the four teams participating today, but those fans told the storytelling activities are not attractive to them, so thegenies team is going to evacuate early, go back to the base to have dinner, and also have some time for training by the way, Not to waste a whole day.

A group of people walked out from the staff-only passage, and met the other three top four teams who were about to leave.

Tianwu, Red Hell, Dream.

These four teams have been rivals for several years, and the relationship between them is very subtle, like enemies and friends.

In fact, there are quite a lot of team members and staff who have connections and friendships in private, but when they meet in groups, they are in a state of estrangement, and the eyes they look at each other are very...full of fighting spirit.

The people from Tianwu appeared first, so according to the customary rules, all three families stood still, silently waiting for them to go out, and then left in turn after they all left.

After they all went out, Sun Tianrui approached Mo Xu curiously and asked, "Did you not see Meng Xun?"

"Ah?" Mo Xu was stunned, he had been looking down at the ground just now, "I didn't pay attention."

"Did you see Meng Xun just now?" Sun Tianrui asked Yang Pengyi next to him again.

"I didn't pay attention either." Yang Pengyi was still immersed in her slimmer figure and couldn't extricate herself.

"I didn't see him, he doesn't seem to be here." Ge Chengyang said, "He won't slip away first, right? I rely on the exhibition game and the first one to die didn't slip away in advance."

"We watermelons have a thick skin!" The team members on the side laughed and joked.

"Bah! I don't have a thick skin!"

……

Sun Tianrui turned his head and looked at Mo Xu: "Did you really slip away?"

"I don't know." Mo Xu dodged for a while.

"No, aren't you familiar with Tianwu, you can always infer a little bit?"

Although Sun Tianrui kept his voice down these few words, at best he could only prevent other teams from hearing them. The members of his own team walking around heard them anyway. At this moment, many people turned their heads curiously: " Yes, brother Xu, tell me."

People may have a kind of psychology. If a great god who has stood for a long time suddenly has the possibility of collapse, many passers-by who are not fans will be willing to listen to gossip and discuss a few words with embarrassment.

Mxmx has been in the news for too long, and suddenly I heard that someone might run away because of a loss in an exhibition match, and many people became interested.

Mo Xu was a little speechless: "Maybe he didn't come out? Maybe he just left beforehand? I can't say for sure. I haven't contacted Tianwu for a long time."

"Tch—" The crowd turned back in disappointment, "It's boring."

"Really?" Sun Tianrui didn't believe it.

Mo Xu looked at him helplessly.

Sun Tianrui was not discouraged, and still stared at him.

Until he got in the car, Sun Tianrui's eyes were still on him, as if he would not stop until he got an answer.

Mo Xu was completely helpless now. After thinking about it, he sighed: "You can watch the news later."

"Huh?" Sun Tianrui didn't understand.

"If there were reports of Meng Xun's illness, he probably ran away," Mo Xu said.

"what?"
