Ch90 - The Finals Part 1

Edited by kat

A little past one in the afternoon.

The outside of the competition venue was crowded with spectators who had come to cheer for their favorite teams.

A vendor pushing an ice cream cart stood outside the crowd, and several young girls surrounded the pink car, brimming with smiles.

The scalpers who were deliberately staying away from the security guards were surrounded by people.

A white RV stopped at the entrance.

In the car——

Shen Qi was half-lying across the seat, his head tilted back and his eye mask still on. He covered his forehead with one hand while holding his cellphone with the other.

“So many people today?” Lu Tun glanced through the window. There were even people in QAQ uniforms mixed in the crowd, especially eye-catching in this pile of people.

Ye Lai lay on his back and also looked over.

He still remembered the group of people who had waited outside the venue for them to come out and had cheered for them after the match that night.

Ye Lai felt that those people should be in the crowd outside now.

The afternoon sun was very hot.

However, the fans waiting outside for their favorite team to enter the venue seemed unaware of the fact.

Xu Leng also looked through the window.

“GOOD LUCK BIG AHHHHHH! Good luck during the game!”

“Come on HUOJ ah! Good luck Bo Li!”

“Good luck EVE!!!”

“QAQ rush in ah!!!”

Several teams had arrived at the scene at about the same time.

When the team in front of them had gone in, Duan Rong knocked on the window. “It’s time to go in.”

Shen Qi hadn’t been asleep in the first place. He had made up all his sleep the past few days, and there was also all the noise outside. He lifted his eye mask up and looked out of the window.

“Are there reporters?” he asked before getting out of the car.

Duan Rong, who was at the front, looked back doubtfully. Because it was the finals, and they were afraid of affecting the players’ moods, all the reporters had been isolated outside of the crowd.

Lu Ziye pointed to a reporter beyond the sea of faces, but they couldn’t tell what website they worked for at all.

Shen Qi let out an “oh” and asked, “Did our car park really obviously?”

The RV didn’t stop at the door for long. After the people got off, it drove to the parking lot.

The other five people all looked confused.

They just saw Shen Qi stick one hand in his pocket and pull his mask down halfway. He waved his right hand at the crowd, and the name on the inside of his wrist was actively exposed to the public’s attention for the first time.

The crowd was too far away to see it clearly.

“He used Gege’s car several times.”

Duan Rong: ???

“Didn’t you say this was a new car this morning? You lied to me…”

If the reporters really dug this out, there would be another big wave before the finals were even over.

Shen Qi raised his eyes and said faintly, “It got a new paint job, is there a problem with it?”

Lu Ziye frowned and chose not to say anything.

Ye Lai and Xu Leng suddenly understood the meaning of the captain’s words, glanced at each other, and remembered that the captain had been piggy-backed down for breakfast this morning.

Only Lu Tun, who was still unaware of the situation, stared at Shen Qi’s wrist for a while. When they were about to enter the lounge, he suddenly said, “Idol, on your wrist, is there another name there now?”

No wonder he had just waved.

Shen Qi chuckled.

His right hand also went into his pocket, and when he stepped into the lounge, he said to him, “Ah, I let Gege autograph me this morning.”

He only felt at ease putting it on his pulse.

“Gege is beating with my pulse.

“Feel it?”

The other five people: …..

They all wisely chose to shut up.

Weren’t they just in a hurry to come out?!

Fu Mingyuan had work today and could only watch the livestream.

In Fu Mingyuan’s meeting room, all the employees neatly wore QAQ’s uniform and held glowsticks in their hands. The large screen had already been turned on, and the two casters were saying some meaningless warm-up remarks.

Fu Mingyuan sat in front of the computer, wearing headphones.

And all the employees looked at the big screen.

Du Jing, with an expression of “life is loveless,” sat next to Fu Mingyuan and helped him make wolfberry tea and chrysanthemum tea.

He didn’t know when Fu Mingyuan began to like chrysanthemum tea.

And he was even drinking it cold right now.

….

The finals started one hour later than the previous competitions. At 3 p.m., the competition officially began.

There were 16 teams in the finals, with a total of three rounds. One round had five games, and each round was held every other day.

The first match used the Erangel map, and the flight path was towards the Military Base.

The first match’s casters were NALU and Half.

“Today is worthy of being the finals, the first match is already set up to be so exciting?” As always, Half never lost his poise.

Nalu laughed. “There are three teams jumping to the Military Base, namely HUOJ, BWQ, and BZM. At present, they’re still moving separately. Hm? QAQ actually did not choose the Military Base for the first game?”

The main camera that was on the casters switched directly to the QAQ team. They were still on the plane and hadn’t jumped yet!

“They really aren’t going there! What’s the matter? Are they frozen or something? They’re about to get close to the sea, are they going to swim around in the middle of the sea in the first round?”

[Goddamn swimming around in the middle of the sea, I’m becoming like the Mediterranean sea]

[I’m so anxious, I’m so anxious, why hasn’t a solo stream of QAQ been started yet?]

[F*ck u, f*ck u, other teams have their livestreams, why not QAQ?]

[Is this discrimination?]

[Can you stop spamming? It’s really annoying, we still want to watch the main livestream]

In the finals, each team had a focused livestream, which was generally commentated by popular anchors of the platform.

However, as long as there was a main livestream, the main casters’ voices would still remain.

At Zharki, QAQ, which had been quiet the entire time, finally opened their parachutes.

There was already no one else on the plane.

“Captain…we’re about to be miles away from the circle…”

Xu Leng adjusted his headset and pressed the shift key to accelerate his descent.

Shen Qi moved his bangs and let out an “en.”

Just now, his computer’s network connection fluctuated and had froze, so they failed to jump out in time.

This had already been reported to the referee. If the network connection couldn’t return to normal by the end, this match would have to be restarted.

When they got to Zharki, the network connection was restored.

After the referee asked the opinions of everyone in QAQ, and they said that they didn’t need to restart, the game went on normally.

Lu Tun replied to Xu Leng’s words, “You should believe in Idol’s character.

“Anyway, no matter where we jump, we’ll never get smacked in the face with an airdrop, and every circle is a safety zone.”

Shen Qi glanced over at him and snorted.

He didn’t say anything.

Lu Tun subconsciously rubbed the back of his neck and felt a little cold.

The game had been going on for five minutes.

“Today, HUOJ is playing extremely ferociously and already took the first kill point today, while BWQ lost a member. The camera will now be given to our EVE,” NALU spoke halfway then stopped, “EVE is in a very good position. At present, Pochinki is in the middle of the safety zone, while QAQ’s situation is actually very unfavorable. They’re outside of the safety zone for the first circle, and at present, the safety zone has refreshed in the lower right.”

[Can you explain something? Why does the QAQ link not work ah?]

[Shit, it works now! I’m dead! I slipped away first!]

[In order to make sure whether I read it wrong, I came back to confirm it]

[??? QAQ’s’s caster is Fu Mingyuan??? Are you kidding me? Is he an anchor?]

[Who is this? I haven’t heard of him before]

[He’s the behind-the-scenes boss of QAQ ah, look at the public notice ah. Because the previously arranged caster has an upset stomach today, Fu Ge is replacing him for a day]

[I keep feeling like the officials are playing a prank on me. What bullshit is this, crossing industries]

[If you don’t want to watch, then don’t watch ah. Anyway, there is the main livestream, and it doesn’t affect the players’ game]

[I just want to ask how much the platform has paid Fu Ge to get him to be a caster]

On Fu Mingyuan’s side.

Qin Yan helped Fu Mingyuan set up the livestream, but he still unconsciously looked behind him at the neatly arranged army of QAQ fans sitting behind them.

He couldn’t help feeling very touched. “After the finals, invite that one in your family out for dinner? After so long, you should introduce him to me, your good friend, right?”

Fu Mingyuan frowned. He still resented that Qin Yan just wouldn’t let him livestream with his Cyber Sweetie’s Gege account. When he heard this, he was silent for a while and then directly turned on the mic.

“I’ve started, you can leave.”

[AHHHHHH THE FU GE WE HAVEN’T SEEN IN A LONG TIME!]

[Never expected that the first time Fu Ge did a livestream would be to do commentary for his own family’s team]

[Do you understand? Hahahahahaha, laymen commentating on a professional competition?]

[Why exactly did the platform invite you to be the caster? I never thought that the official competition would be so…]

Although this person used ellipsis to indicate their mood, those who understand naturally knew they meant “joke around like this.”

Fu Mingyuan glanced at Qin Yan, who had been silent since he turned on the mic, and explained, “Because I’m doing it for free.

“It’s free publicity.”

Qin Yan: …..

Although that was true, why did he sound so unhappy when saying it.

This wasn’t the Fu Mingyuan he used to know. In the past, he would only say “en.”

[A completely serious expression telling cold jokes]

[AHHHHHHH FU GE’S VOICE SOUNDS SO NICE!]

[I’m dead, I’m dead. Is there room on Gege’s abs for me to sunbathe on them?]

[Gege, touch my clothes, are they the right material to be your girlfriend?]

[…Begging you to resign. We all came to watch a professional competition, is this to attract antis for QAQ or attract antis for your company’s stars?]

Because Fu Mingyuan was a non-professional anchor, and since everyone thought he had never gamed before, besides the first few sentences, he didn’t say much.

At present, QAQ’s livestream viewers were the least.

Most of them were Fu Mingyuan’s fans, and topics unrelated to the game were spammed to the barrage.

On the main camera’s side, probably because they knew the QAQ livestream was having some issues, the camera went to QAQ.

The four QAQ people had come out of Zharki driving three cars, one for Ye Lai and Xu Leng, and one each for Shen Qi and Lu Tun.

When they passed Georgopol, they were strafed by gunfire.

“The people in Georgopol are expressing that ‘we don’t have cars, and you guys also better not think of coming over’! With this move, QAQ actually has a lot of advantages here. They’re far away, and if I were them, I’d directly ignore them and drive past.”

“There are two people blocking the bridge, and they will encounter them if they go directly across, but it’s hard to say what will happen with this safety zone right now. If the circle refreshes again, the poison will hurt more. Let’s take a look at the medicine on QAQ’s four people.”

“They still have enough!” NALU spoke halfway, and then her tone suddenly grew a bit excited. “QAQ stopped their cars! God A really won’t ever let us down!”

Half: “En, that’s right, hahaha. At the most, everyone dies together.”

“But! This kind of thing really can’t happen! The SKS hit multiple times! I still have to ask! How can this gun be used for cover fire! How can he so perfectly predict the position of the other party!”

[I’ve played two matches… I’d like to ask, can this gun be shot so accurately without running a bot?]

[Sister, you know nothing about professional players]

[Don’t ask such a stupid question, okay? You’re saying that a professional player is running a bot? Is there something wrong with your brain?]

[So, I have to ask why they asked a celebrity to be the caster. I’m so bored, I wouldn’t stay here if I didn’t want to watch QAQ the entire time]

Fu Mingyuan clicked on the barrage assistant. He was silent for a long time until he finally opened his mouth, “His hands are very stable.

“His hands are very fast.

“He can do it.”
