Ch76 - First place in small groups right now

Edited by kat

At the competitor seats——

Xu Leng shouted, “Captain!”

He had been thrown into a bit of chaos.

On the other hand, Shen Qi didn’t panic and crawled to a blind spot in the opposite party’s field of vision. “Don’t worry, two have come in, and there’s two outside the window, so they should all be rushing at me.

“You can’t pull me up.”

He really couldn’t be pulled up, as four people attacked him with guns. Lu Tun and Xu Leng were nearby, but they hadn’t chosen to go attack them one on one. It should be that they had been looking for a chance this entire time after he landed alone.

With one vs. four, Shen Qi had to admit that he couldn’t fight against that.

He snorted. “They probably think that once I turn into a box, you guys won’t be able to go on.

“This is treating you guys as a second M1G ah…” Shen Qi paused. “You guys are not allowed to come and pull me up. It’s three against four, and if you lose, we’ll go to the seafood restaurant for a meal when we go back. We haven’t decided on a place for the celebration party ah, children.”

Xu Leng stopped.

Lu Tun walked around back. “Idol, so fierce, the seafood restaurant is too expensive…”

At the moment when those two people had entered the house, Ye Lai flipped through the window and also walked around the back.

“Cold still hasn’t moved from his original position. He’s just opposite Angry. Does Curly think that QAQ can win if it’s three against four?” 121 stared at Lu Ziye.

Their eyes met, and Lu Ziye coughed and opened his eyes wide. “From the perspective of their coach, I hope they can win, but it’s very hard to say from the current situation. After all, Angry is actually the core of the team…”

121 laughed and looked at his somewhat red ears. “QAQ’s LAND is directly shooting from behind, and WHQ’s goal now is to enter the house to finish people off. Their goal is to kill Angry, and Angry’s health bar is about to run out! Cold has rushed out! He has a Vector!! We know that a Vector’s lethality in close combat is still very powerful!”

“From the perspective just now, I remember that Cold had an AKM. Switching it out with a Vector is actually a gamble, but fortunately, he won the bet. He cooperated with LAND very tacitly ah. Dog Di only has half his health left! And WHQ has another person in the next room!

“WHQ is rushing out! LAND has retreated at this moment. His health is also low right now, and he has no bullets, which is really bad.”

Lu Ziye’s commentary was a little excited, and 121 suddenly asked.

“Dog Di? Is Curly talking about Cold? This name is very unique. Ah, God A’s health has run out, and QAQ’s TUN and Cold have also fallen to the ground. We can see on the big map that there are other teams coming over, are they coming to join in? The current situation is very unfavorable for QAQ ah.”

“Cold has no helmet or no armor now, while TUN has no helmet. Although both of them were saved and really hurt in this round of three vs. four, QAQ still won. First, congratulations to QAQ for getting four kill points. Additionally, they have pulled their score further away from WHQ, which was originally ranked second in total points. At the end of this match, WHQ’s ranking may be overtaken by BIG.”

At the same time, the safe zone was refreshed in the lower-left corner of the map.

Hacienda del Patron was now out of the safe area.

With this, QAQ’s situation was very unfavorable.

The competitor seats:

Xu Leng, who had not experienced the current situation before, was obviously in a bit of a panic right now.

Shen Qi supported his chin with one hand and squinted at Xu Leng’s trembling left hand. “Dog Di.”

Xu Leng only reacted and answered after a few seconds, “Ah, ah, I’m here, Captain. What’s the matter?”

“You seem really nervous ah… What’s with your hands shaking? Are you so worked up because your blind date is opposite us?” Shen Qi snorted. “Drive directly into the circle. If your hands shake while you drive, that will be really life-threatening.”

Lu Tun, who could also hear him, also began to have his hands tremble.

Why did he always feel as though there was something off with these words.

But he was quite right.

Xu Leng heaved a long sigh. “Okay, Captain, I’m just a little nervous. This is the first time I’m in this situation.”

“You can’t rely too much on me ah…” Shen Qi paused, then continued to enlighten him, “Although my skills are really good, you can’t rely on me your whole life, right?

“There is a car behind you.”

Xu Leng’s grip on his mouse tightened, and he made a quick decision to get out of the car and shoot the other car.

At this time, they were at a disadvantage and could only earn points by taking more kills.

Ye Lai and Lu Tun, who were in a car not far from him, also chose to strafe the car.

QAQ scored three points while TUN was eliminated.

There were ten teams left on the field.

The game had already been going on for 20 minutes.

Compared with Xu Leng’s nervousness, Ye Lai was much calmer and stayed focused on the game from start to finish.

Shen Qi didn’t bother to pay attention to them again, as he didn’t want to be an “elite box commander.” He yawned and slowly clicked on and started playing one of Fu Mingyuan’s films.

The competition computers could all be used to play other things. Before, there had been contestants who were publicly ridiculed for watching livestreams of female anchors after being eliminated.

The corners of the mouth of the referee standing behind Xu Leng quirked up, and he said something into his headset.

The camera in front of the contestant’s face suddenly moved towards Shen Qi’s direction, and the small video shown to the two casters was now displaying the QAQ team.

Although it only stopped there for a few seconds, it was enough for the netizens to get excited.

Generally, players were very rarely shown during the competition.

It was also in order to avoid affecting the players’ competition.

[I want to see QAQ. Although the casters are also good-looking, I still want to see God A]

[Look my ass. He just has a pretty face, and wasn’t he still trash that was the first to be eliminated?]

[If you’re going to watch the competition then focus on watching, you’re always thinking about faces day and night instead]

[God A is too garbage ba. What did he even come back for? Isn’t it good to just conscientiously retire? This is really shameful]

[QAQ is awesome! QAQ for first place!]

[Keep praising mindlessly, fool, I hope that you guys can’t even enter the top five]

[Heh heh, that’s very hard. The total score of QAQ is still at first place ne. Are you flamers angry? Anger can’t kill you guys]

Fu Mingyuan in the audience asked Du Jing to type and refute these people, while also exhorting him, “That shot just now, screenshot it.”

Du Jing kept his head down and typed nonstop. Fortunately, he usually paid close attention to Weibo and knew how to act as a keyboard warrior. When he heard Fu Mingyuan’s low voice, he didn’t quite know what was going on.

“What shot?”

“That shot of Shen Qi,” Fu Mingyuan repeated.

When the camera had swept past just now, it was probably because the lights in the venue were more dim, but the young man had been squinting lazily at the screen and looked a little distant.

And also somewhat alluring.

Du Jing froze and let out an “oh.”

I still have to screenshot things! Coming to watch this competition, my fingers have nearly broken from typing so hard. My usual work isn’t even this busy.

“When we go back, I’ll edit the picture for you. What do you want it to be? A lockscreen picture or a chat background?”

Fu Mingyuan was silent for a moment. He continued to stare at the big screen and found that it had cut to another team. He then looked down at Du Jing’s cellphone and replied, “Both.”

Du Jing gnashed his teeth for a moment. “Alright.”

The game lasted 25 minutes.

When QAQ ran into BIG again, Xu Leng and Ye Lai exchanged for one head.

QAQ was eliminated.

At the end of the fourth round, QAQ ranked fifth. Their total score was still at first place, and BIG directly switched from fifth to second.

During the halftime break.

Lu Ziye was just a guest caster for one match and returned to the competition seats.

The referee beside him couldn’t help but say, “Your guys’ Angry was watching a movie just now during the competition.”

Lu Ziye choked.

The referee wasn’t too far away, so Shen Qi naturally heard him.

He hadn’t just been watching during the competition.

He was still watching right now.

He had even lured Lu Tun and Xu Leng to watch it together with him.

“Male God is too handsome!” Lu Tun expressed from the bottom of his heart.

Xu Leng also nodded a bit.

Shen Qi sneered and turned off the movie. “You’re not competing anymore? What are you looking at?

“Referee, is it against the rules to watch movies during the competition?”

The referee paused. “It’s not against the rules.”

“Ah, I thought the regulations had changed. I’ve been under a lot of pressure with you staring at me this entire time.”

Lu Ziye coughed and patted him on the shoulder. “Don’t threaten the referee.”

With that, he smiled in a friendly fashion at the referee.

Referee: …..

I think your expression right now is more threatening.

The corners of Shen Qi’s mouth quirked up, and he clicked on the game again.

The fifth match.

The map was still Miramar.

The jumping point of QAQ was still Hacienda del Patron.

The situation was similar to that of the previous match, but WHQ had changed their jumping point.

Five minutes into the game:

QAQ came out of Hacienda del Patron and set out for Soa Martin.

This directly changed their playing method from passive to active.

“QAQ actually chose to go up directly!” The casters this time had been switched to 121 and another male caster called CG.

CG was more excitable.

“The Sao Martin team hasn’t discovered that QAQ has come over, so they aren’t very alert ah.”

Five minutes later, QAQ had gotten four kill points off of the Sao Martin team.

Their luck was really good this match, and the safe zone was directly centered on Sao Martin.

Maybe it was because it was the last match, but the other teams fought more fiercely than before.

20 minutes into the game, there were only five teams left on the field.

Among the five teams, only QAQ had a full squad. BIG had three people left, and the other three teams had two people left.

All five teams were around Sao Martin.

“EGGK and MLY have started fighting! BIG has rushed over to mediate and EGGK has been surrounded. Two points have been collected, but MLY also can’t escape. BIG has sufficient terrain advantages.”

“QAQ has also come out. They are really unwilling to be lonely ah. It’s a pity that BIG took those four kill points, but! QAQ got three points from BIG! QAQ has scored 11 kill points in this game! First place for the first of the small groups has already been confirmed! Whether they eat chicken or not, it’s pretty much confirmed!”

“They’ve rushed out! The last two opponents! Four against two, and it’s confirmed! We congratulate QAQ on eating today’s last chicken! At the same time, congratulations to QAQ for winning first place in Group A, the first small group competition of the Summer Trials! In fact, we can actually congratulate QAQ again in advance, since if there are no accidents in the small group competition’s second round, they can directly advance with points promotion.”

Competitors’ seats——

Xu Leng was a little excited and wanted to hug Shen Qi next to him.

Shen Qi glanced at him lightly. Xu Leng slammed on the brakes, turned to hug Lu Tun who had already run over, and directly lifted Lu Tun off the ground.

Ye Lai also looked at Shen Qi and smiled in a slightly silly way.

Shen Qi looked at the three children’s appearances and chuckled. “Don’t hurt Dog Di’s arms through this hug ah.”

Lu Tun struggled to get back onto the ground. “… Am I that heavy, Idol?”

Xu Leng pinched his arm, smiled, and nodded.

The team that successfully ate chicken had to send a representative to the stage for an interview. Shen Qi wasn’t quite happy, so he gave the opportunity to Ye Lai, who was relatively calm.

Ye Lai, who usually played games calmly, was still a little introverted, and especially with a female host who was wearing high heels and was taller than him, he blushed even more.

Before going on stage, Lu Ziye exhorted him that if the female host asked any problematic questions, he should just giggle stupidly.

[Congratulations to QAQ for winning first place AHHHHHH]

[QAQ is awesome! QAQ is too great!]

[It’s not like it’s the championship, what are you so excited for?]

[QAQ rush in ah! You will surely win the championship! Enter the Asian Games!]

[I will always support QAQ!]

[Good luck BIG ah! Fight on BIG!]

[Come on EGGK! Go!]

[I just want to ask if M1G wants to die now?]

…..

“First of all, congratulations to QAQ for winning first place in the fifth round, and welcome LAND from QAQ.

“Here, I would like to ask on behalf of the majority of your fans, who exactly came up with your team name? I think your team uniforms are also very cute.”

Ye Lai lowered his head and was a little shy. “That was all the captain.”

“You can’t tell that God A is interested in that sort of thing. Then can I ask another question? Are you guys confident about winning the championship?”

This time, Ye Lai looked obediently up at the camera and replied with certainty, “Yes.”

The competitor’s seats——

Shen Qi, who was collecting their equipment, looked at the big screen. “The female host isn’t Ye Lai’s type, so he’s not that shy.”

Xu Leng, who had been drinking water, coughed. He didn’t understand these things very well.

Shen Qi then sold out his apprentice without any qualms. While walking out with his bag on his back, he revealed, “Ah, when we were at M1G, a sweet looking female anchor came to the base to interview us.”

He squinted. Everyone had gone to the contestant walkway to return backstage. No one wanted to stay here to wait until Ye Lai finished the interview, and only Lu Tun helped Ye Lai clean up his equipment.

Lu Tun added, “Ye Lai was very attentive and brought her drinks, and he wasn’t blushing like this at all.”

Before this, Shen Qi had already taken this out as black history material to tell him about.

Lu Tun could even recite what Shen Qi had said at that time.

Xu Leng let out an “oh” and was a bit surprised.

He didn’t expect Ye Lai to be such a person.

Before the four of them could return to the players’ lounge, they were blocked by BIG’s people.

He Bin stood in front of Shen Qi with a dark expression and stared at him for a long time. Other passing teams all thought that the two teams wanted to skirt the rules right in the middle of the competition venue right now.

Shen Qi took the lead in saying, “Captain He, what’s the matter? Do you want to have a drink and chat with me?”

He clicked his tongue twice. “I don’t like your type. Your appearance affects my mood.”

He Bin: …….?

“Shut up.”

BIG’s other three people stood behind him and laughed.

“No, if you didn’t come to tell me your feelings, then why’d you pick this kind of place to block us? Isn’t this usually the holy land of confessions?”

Shen Qi was in a good mood at the moment. The corners of his mouth carried a smile the entire time, and his words grew more and more shameless.

He Bin’s expression grew darker and looked more terrifying.

There was a long silence. “I’m here to congratulate you.”

Shen Qi let out an “oh” and patted He Bin on the shoulder. “When the finals are done, then you can congratulate us ah. Congratulating us this early, are you that sure that you can’t win the finals?

“Although this is a fact…” He chuckled. “You can’t say it yourself, right?”

He Bin interrupted, “Congratulations on getting first place in your small group.”

Then he mercilessly turned around and left.

He really had nothing else to do other than run up to Shen Qi to seek out trouble.

Xu Leng choked for a while. “Captain… Is it really good to curse others out like this?”

Lu Tun sighed and patted him on the shoulder. “It’ll be better when you get used to it. It’s always like this, yet they still happily send themselves up to our door.”

Along the way, BIG wasn’t the only team that did this.

The other teams also congratulated them when they ran into them.

Shen Qi didn’t talk to them like he did with BIG, but sent them all a friendly smile.

They got back to the door of the lounge.

While talking to Xu Leng, Lu Tun pushed the door open.

As soon as his feet stepped in, the moment he twisted his head to look inside, he immediately withdrew his feet and closed the door.

Then he pulled Xu Leng and Lu Ziye’s arms back, and moved in small steps towards BIG’s lounge next door. These moves were all done in one go, without pausing at all.

Lu Ziye was actually not surprised. He had experience and guessed what had happened.

Xu Leng was a little confused. “What’s the matter?”

“Let’s go congratulate BIG a bit. Idol, you go in first ah. It seems that someone has sent you a gift,” Lu Tun said this and took them away.

Shen Qi looked at him in confusion, then waved his hand, glancing at his cellphone that had no new messages. He shrugged and his eyelids drooped a bit as he entered the lounge.

Having played five matches in a row, his nerves had been tightly strung, and he was a bit sleepy right now.

The moment he opened the door, he didn’t look up inside.

He kept his head down and used his foot to close the door.

Until he bumped into someone.
