Ch73 - "Help me send a barrage message, I type too slow."

Edited by kat

Like the results of Shen Qi drawing lots before, the QAQ team was in Group A and would compete on the first day.

As soon as the schedule was released online, it aroused a heated discussion among netizens.

QAQ was pretty lucky. Besides BIG, the other teams in Group A didn’t count as strong opponents. Of course, they couldn’t rule out the possibility of a dark horse slaughtering their way forward.

M1G’s luck on the other hand wasn’t very good. Besides the previous Spring Championship team, HUOJ and EVE were also both in Group B.

Online, it was rumored that M1G and QAQ had definitely challenged each other to meet at the finals while drawing lots. However, based on M1G’s previous competition results, no one knew whether they could advance to the finals.

Netizens began to make bets.

They bet on whether M1G could reach the finals.

At the M1G base, Rong Jing was still training.

There was no sound of gossip at the M1G base.

Compared with M1G’s tension, the atmosphere at the QAQ base gradually eased near the event.

Shen Qi was in a pretty good mood. He voted for “M1G can enter the finals,” and he even used his main account to do so.

With his vote, all kinds of topics appeared.

#Former M1G captain Angry supports M1G#

#Angry ridiculed M1G while drawing lots#

….

Shen Qi directly turned off his cellphone after voting, and completely didn’t pay attention to the follow-up online.

“Captain, what time do we start tomorrow?” Xu Leng held a novel and rolled his chair backwards across the ground towards Shen Qi, who had a novel over his face and was resting his eyes.

Shen Qi let out an “en?”

He reacted after a moment and asked, “Coach, what time is the game tomorrow?”

Xu Leng: …..???

“Two o’clock in the afternoon.” Holding a novel in his hand, Xu Leng, with an expression of “life is loveless,” continued to slide back in his chair.

The competition started at two in the afternoon.

There were a total of five rounds, and the points were a combination of ranking and kill points.

Shen Qi stretched out. “After lunch?”

He really didn’t care when the game started. In order to improve his mood, Fu Mingyuan had been video calling with him every night for the past two nights.

He was in a pretty good mood right now.

If he couldn’t see the real person, it was alright to see him in a video.

Moreover, the other party had already said that he would watch the livestream.

Lu Ziye sighed. “We need to get there by 10, so try to get up early. If you can’t get up, just sleep in the car.”

The other people didn’t worry. The only one who couldn’t get up was probably Shen Qi himself.

Just then, Ye Lai and Lu Tun brought in several bowls of mung bean soup together.

The weather was getting hotter and hotter.

Shen Qi lazily refused to get up from his chair. After struggling for a moment, he clapped his hands. “Understood, Coach.

“After drinking this, let’s play two squad matches to practice with our hands a bit.”

In order to have a good rest these past two days, they hadn’t practiced as intensely as before, but they still had to maintain the feeling in their hands.

Everyone’s state had already been improved, so Shen Qi didn’t want to tire them out too much.

It was also his idea to buy some novels for the children to read.

Although Lu Ziye had a “what are you saying” expression when he had suggested that.

He still did it.

The originally tense atmosphere had eased a lot at once.

They were all engrossed in their novels.

….

Past 9 a.m. on the day of the games.

Shen Qi slowly got out of the car wearing a mask, a bright yellow short sleeved team uniform, and a black backpack. The two pink pigs facing the sky on the front of the team uniform were particularly eye-catching.

Lu Tun followed behind him. “I think our team uniform is too dumb…”

On the day they drew lots, he looked around and thought their team uniform was particularly eye-catching.

Ye Lai grabbed the hem of his clothes and also grabbed Xu Leng’s arm.

“There may be reporters in a while. Let’s just keep silent.”

Xu Leng, who had never experienced such a formal event, nodded and pulled at the ear loops of his mask.

Sure enough, as Ye Lai had said there were reporters waiting at the entrance that the contestants would have to pass through.

In front of them was BIG.

Standing at the front was He Bin. BIG’s team manager was standing next to him and pulling at his clothes.

Few teams could escape this kind of pre-competition interview.

If you didn’t answer any questions, who knew what the reporters would portray you as.

He Bin always had a dark expression on his face. When he stood in front of the reporters, the reporters couldn’t ask anything tricky.

But this time.

“Excuse me, does Weapon have anything to say about Angry’s return this time?”

He Bin, who had always faced the reporter with a dark expression, stopped and stared at the reporter for a while. “What do you want to hear?”

The reporter choked.

Before the reporter could speak, He Bin continued, “The truth is that I’m very happy.”

With these words, He Bin led the others into the venue without looking back.

The team manager chased after him. “Who knows what that reporter is thinking, didn’t we openly and warmly welcome God A’s comeback?”

He Bin looked back at the manager expressionlessly. “You talk too much.”

Manager: …..

The other BIG members gave their manager a sympathetic look.

“Guess what the reporter just asked He Bin?” Lu Tun approached Ye Lai’s ear and asked in a low voice.

QAQ’s people took advantage of the time when the reporter was asking BIG questions to try and sneak in.

But these reporters were all experienced. Before they could enter the player hallway, the six QAQ people were all blocked by microphones and cameras.

The main focus of the reporters’ interview was still Angry.

“This is the first competition since God A’s comeback, is there anything you want to say to the fans?”

“Is it true that God A declared war on RJJ the day before yesterday during the drawing of the lots?”

“God A’s team has novices this time, do you have confidence in winning the championship?”

“It was rumored that you played fixed matches before, do you have anything you want to say about that?”

“……”

Before, Angry had always been relatively low-key. Usually, he would sneak away from such pre-game interviews, and leave the questions to others.

This time, the reporters finally grabbed an opportunity, and hated that they couldn’t also whip out the questions from previous years.

Shen Qi raised his eyes and gave a vague glance at the reporters asking questions.

He laughed and pulled at his mask. It was a little stuffy.

Outside the stadium, a group of fans, who had been waiting for a long time, began to shout wildly when they saw the group of QAQ members.

“Good luck QAQ! QAQ must win!”

“AHHHHHH GOD A, THE REAL LIFE GOD A!!”

“Cold, Mama loves you!!!”

“Xiao Lai, good luck ah!! Mama loves you!”

“Baby TUN good luck! Stop being the water boy now!”

They even had banners.

When Xu Leng heard that there were people cheering for him too, he froze, then waved to the fans intercepted by the security at the fence.

Shen Qi, in a rare fit of obedience, took the microphone from the reporter closest to him. He looked at the sign on the microphone and saw it was from a livestream platform.

The reporters waited nervously for him to answer.

Duan Rong and Lu Ziye looked at each other and saw the helplessness in each other’s eyes.

Shen Qi himself seemed a little lazy. “That boy in the blue t-shirt over there.”

Everyone in the crowd looked at each other.

After a few seconds, the person named jumped up excitedly and waved his hand.

Shen Qi then said, “If I wasn’t alive, what else could I be? Hm?”

With that, he returned the microphone to the reporter.

Before the reporter could react, the QAQ members rushed into the special hallway for players.

The reporters couldn’t get in there without a pass.

In particular, the man with the microphone stood there looking at their backs, letting out a curse.

“Captain, was that really okay?” Xu Leng had never seen such a scene before and was a little confused.

Lu Ziye explained to him. “It’s fine, just this sentence is enough for them to write about. If you sidestep topics, they’ll say you’re guilty.

“No matter what you answer back, they can twist it into something.”

After entering the lounge, Lu Ziye explained the competition customs and how sinister these reporters were to Xu Leng again.

Shen Qi stared at his cellphone text messages for a while. He hadn’t received anything from Fu Mingyuan, so he sneered and simply hugged his arms around himself and began to rest his eyes.

Lu Tun looked at him and shuffled closer to Ye Lai. “Male God hasn’t sent any messages, Idol is definitely going to be a bit grumpy.”

Ye Lai patted him on the shoulder.

At 11, the manager began to send out lunches for all the contestants.

At 12:30, all the players came onto the stage to start checking their equipment.

At 1:30, the casters began to warm up before the game.

The competition was being broadcasted simultaneously on all livestream platforms.

“Hello, everyone. This is the small group competition for the Summer Trials, and I’m Caster Half.”

“And I’m Caster Chunxi.”

“Today is Group A’s competition, ah, Chunxi. Let’s first see what teams are in Group A.”

Half paused, then said, “Aiya, there’s BIG, Tiansheng, QAQ…”

When reading out QAQ, Chunxi laughed. “I really want to ask God A, who came up with this name? Was it specifically created to make things difficult for us casters?”

Half touched his wig. “I’ve been a caster for this long, but I’ve never been able to act cute so blatantly before. Thank you QAQ for giving me this opportunity.

“In other words, this is God A’s first competition after returning. Chunxi, how do you think QAQ will rank in a bit?”

“You want me to take a sip of this poisonous milk powder first? Then I’ll guess first place ba.”

“That’s not good ba? After a while, if QAQ can’t get first place, won’t the fans attack you?”

Lines drifted in the barrage, one after the other.

[Like hell QAQ takes first place]

[Although the previous poster is swearing, I want to laugh]

[Shit, did God A do it on purpose? Then I’ll scold God A]

[Laughing to death, QAQ will lose! Can QAQ reach the finals?]

[QAQ is very powerful, and God A is also very powerful. They will win]

[……]

The two casters made fun of each other for a while, and at exactly 2 p.m.

Group A’s small group competition for the Summer Trials officially kicked off.

In the audience, Fu Mingyuan handed his cellphone to Du Jing next to him.

Du Jing was wearing a yellow Pikachu headband.

Unbelievably, the QAQ fan support group had given it to them as soon as they entered through the door.

In order to prevent Fu Mingyuan from being discovered by others, Du Jing didn’t want people to pester them and had just taken it.

“What’s the matter now, Da Ge?” Du Jing had an expression of “the world is loveless.”

They flew back from abroad in the middle of the night.

They said it was for a studio celebration.

Yes, everyone in the studio was celebrating, but Fu Mingyuan himself had to risk being discovered in order to go to the competition site.

“Help me send a barrage message, I type too slow.” Fu Mingyuan frowned while reading those offensive remarks.

He was wearing an ordinary t-shirt and a mask.

He was dressed like many ordinary spectators nearby, and everyone’s attention was drawn to “God A’s first competition since his return,” so no one paid attention to who was in the audience.

Du Jing: ….

“What do you want me to send?”

“QAQ is the strongest, QAQ is the most powerful, Angry is the best…”

Du Jing grew sluggish for a moment. “Stop!”

Then he started typing away.

After a while.

[Cyber Sweetie’s Gege: QAQ is the most powerful! Angry Gege is the strongest! I love Angry the most!]

He started to crazily push all the other comments down.
