Fu Mingyuan had just said that when a kill prompt popped up in the upper-right hand corner of the screen.

[QAQ-Angry has knocked down MMZ-mm1 with an SKS]

QAQ had taken a kill point.

The barrage was still pondering the meaning of Fu Mingyuan’s three sentences.

He probably meant it literally ba.

Fu Mingyuan, as QAQ’s behind-the-scenes boss, should have played the game before, and he had likely followed Angry.

“This kill was very beautiful, MMZ should regret blocking people here now. Maybe they didn’t expect QAQ to show up. TUN also knocked down one, but Cold was also knocked down by MMZ! There is no cover on the bridge! Cold’s position just now was exposed too clearly!”

The competitors’ seats——

Xu Leng was stunned.

He had made a mistake, a very low-level mistake, in the first match of the finals.

A sense of frustration welled up from the bottom of his heart.

Although Shen Qi didn’t say anything, he glanced at him and snorted. “We’d have to waste smoke bombs to save you.”

Xu Leng apologized while crawling behind a wall. “I underestimated the enemy. I’m sorry, Captain…”

Before his voice could fade away, he saw Shen Qi coming over with a smoke bomb trail following him the entire way.

Lu Tun and Ye Lai were responsible for dealing with the two people on the bridge.

“But if we don’t save you, the smoke bombs would be wasted,” Shen Qi added.

Although he didn’t mind his tone much when talking, Xu Leng still felt his heart pounding away.

Shen Qi pulled him up, and Lu Tun, like an old mother, exhorted him. “Use a bandage first, and then use a first aid kit. The poison now is way too much, and there’s no way to endure it.”

Xu Leng responded affirmatively and sucked in a deep breath.

They were still competing at hand speed.

“Cold has been pulled up, and now their top priority is to race against the poison. The two MMZ players have already run away. After looking at their medicine, they won’t be able to go on. This circle keeps shrinking and getting farther away.”

The main camera switched to the two MMZ players.

“Idol is really so…..” Lu Tun couldn’t help but complain. This first match, they really had gotten the feel of running around desperately. Although they had taken two kills, the taste of running away from the poison circle in the first half of the match was really not unfamiliar at all.

Shen Qi raised his eyebrows. “Have you been playing Nuanuan something, that dress-up game, recently?”

Lu Tun let out an “ah.”

In the middle of the game, why did he suddenly mention this?

“Your cellphone is still with the manager. After the game is over, let me play for a bit. I haven’t gotten to experience a dress-up game.”

Lu Tun: ???

Was this a threat?

Fortunately, Ye Lai was driving. Otherwise, they would flip straight into a mountain ditch right now.

Lu Tun wisely chose to shut up.

When the game had gone on for more than 20 minutes, QAQ finally caught up with the safety zone.

They lingered around the edge of the circle.

They hadn’t gotten close to a house yet when there was the sound of an AWM.

“The sound of a lucky guy!” Lu Tun couldn’t help exclaiming.

Shen Qi sneered.

Although his wife was the 98K, he still had to kill those with an AWM.

Ye Lai was headshotted and fell directly to the ground.

There was no cover, and it wasn’t like when Xu Leng fell to the ground, when there were houses around.

AWMs didn’t have silencers.

Shen Qi listened for a while and comforted Ye Lai, “Little Lailai, lie here. They will come and collect the body for you later.”

They shouldn’t go over there, so Ye Lai could not be saved.

They could only give him up.

Ye Lai obediently let out an “oh” and didn’t crawl over either.

The AWM’s position had already been exposed at this time.

They must not be the only team targeting them.

“I have to say that HUOJ’s face is really good this match. So many people wanted an AWM, and they got smacked in the face with an airdrop. I’ve been a caster for this long, but I’ve only seen a few AWM’s.” Chunxi sighed.

Half thought that Chunxi was like poisonous milk: as soon as he said that HUOJ’s face was good, something would probably end up happening to them.

There were still four teams left on the field.

QAQ had three members, HUOJ still had a full team, EVE also had a full team in the middle of the safety zone, and there was still GGQ’s lone wolf.

BIG had ranked sixth and had given two kill points each to EVE and HUOJ.

“At present, EVE is actually in the most danger. They are directly surrounded by two teams, QAQ and HUOJ, but HUOJ’s position has already been exposed. Now we’ll have to see whether EVE chooses to go in directly or wait for the other party to come up. Also, right now, GGQ‘s lone wolf will definitely choose to hide until the other teams are all killed, and then go to harvest some kills.”

As soon as Half said that, EVE rushed directly in HUOJ’s direction, seeming to want to take them head-on.

“Buxiu has gone in! His gun is very stable! We know that EVE was the champion team in the last Spring Trials, and their ranking in the recent competitions has also been impressive. As EVE’s captain, Buxiu’s average damage output is considerable. An AWM is actually useless at this time, since this will all rely on close-quarter combat.”

In Fu Mingyuan’s livestream——

The originally unpopular stream was now directly crushing other teams’ livestream viewer counts due to fans forwarding the link on Weibo. The fans who had originally come to see Fu Mingyuan were now all watching the game with great interest.

It was just that their focus was a little different than those who had been watching the game the entire time.

[? I suspect that Uncle Half is engaged in HS]

[What, please explain it again]

[No, I want Fu Ge to repeat it, close quarter combat]

[You guys are so dirty, ah I don’t understand. HUOJ and EVE don’t sound like they have a CP feel, EVE and QAQ are a pair, okay?]

[I think that’s fine! Little Gege Buxiu is also pretty handsome and can be matched with the cubs from Fu Ge’s family]

Fu Mingyuan had originally been focused on QAQ’s situation and occasionally said meaningless things like “good,” “they left,” and “they’ve entered the circle.”

Seeing the barrage, he subconsciously frowned and explained, “They’re just opponents.”

[Fu Ge, you can understand us?]

[Sisters are distressed]

[There’s a big fight! QAQ has gone in too! AHHHHH DON’T HIT OUR FU GE’S CUBS AH!]

Fu Mingyuan: …

Cubs?

That’s not my cub.

He opened his mouth, and Du Jing next to him was completely nervous, afraid that he would say something that he shouldn’t say.

Finally, Fu Mingyuan chose to continue to shut up and watch the game calmly.

“We all know that in the previous competition, QAQ was keen to grab kills. Today, with the start of the first game, I will first observe a moment of silence for HUOJ and EVE. Very good, Boli’s kill was stolen by Cold. I guess that EVE must be very angry at this time. What? I shot at him for so long, but in the end I wasn’t the one to knock him down?”

Half joked, “I have to say that QAQ is really good at calculating damage. They can always carry away your guys’ kill in one shot.”

“They’re really good at that, you have to admire it.” Chunxi nodded.

In this scuffle, QAQ stole four kills.

Finally, the lone wolf succeeded in eating chicken.

According to the scoring rules for the finals, the chicken eating team would get eight points, and the next ranked teams would get five, four, three, two, then one point. Those ranked fifth to twelfth all got one point, while the rest got no points, and one kill was worth one point.

HUOJ had ranked second this match, with seven kill points, making them temporarily ranked first overall.

EVE had ranked fourth this match, with eight kill points, making them temporarily ranked second overall.

QAQ had ranked third this match, with six kill points, making them temporarily ranked third overall.

As soon as the first match was over, the casters informed them that the half-time break was extended to one hour. Due to the network fluctuations of some players during the game, the network connection of all equipment on site would need to be inspected.

[???]

[Was QAQ’s network connection delayed at the beginning? That’s why they didn’t move the entire time?]

[Sooner or later, this garbage competition will have to end. Only talking about network problems right now? Look at other countries, they directly restart the entire match, okay?]

[There shouldn’t have been any problems later, so they didn’t restart the match ba]

[Heh heh, there were still some effects later, okay?]

[The players themselves didn’t say anything, so what are all of you fighting about here? They didn’t say which team, so maybe it was all of them?]

[A cleaning up concluding statement, this kind of large-scale event is not open and transparent when something goes wrong?]

[Not redoing the match? Not redoing the match???]

[They’re already done playing, even if you’re not tired, the players are]

Regardless of the noise in the barrage.

All the players who went back to their lounges looked happy.

Bo Li rushed to the door of the QAQ lounge to prepare for a social visit.

The lounges of the other teams were all noisy, except for QAQ’s. It was very quiet there.

He looked, and the door was unlocked.

It was cracked open slightly, so he pushed it open a bit and looked inside.

Shen Qi sat expressionlessly on the sofa, and he looked a little scary.

Bo Li looked completely confused. At the exact same time, Lu Tun, with a look of panic on his face, opened the door to leave. After seeing Bo Li pushing at the door, he walked out and asked, “What are you doing, Former Captain? Hurry up, world war has broken out!”

Lu Tun hasn’t seen Captain in this lecturing mood for a long time.

But Xu Leng himself had made a low-level mistake, and it was just lucky that they could pull him up. If they couldn’t pull him up, that would have affected their ranking.

Bo Li: …..

Finally, the two of them went to HUOJ’s lounge and began to eat snacks.

And these were the ones that Bo Li had contributed.

When Shen Qi was angry, he didn’t like to talk much. He just sat there with one hand on the sofa and the other hand on his forehead because they couldn’t look at their phones during the competition. Otherwise, he would be scrolling through his cellphone at this moment.

With his legs crossed and his upper body leaning back, his posture looked very comfortable. If you didn’t look at his expression, you would probably think he was just resting his eyes.

Xu Leng sat on the chair in front of the sofa, looking exactly like an elementary student about to be lectured.

He couldn’t argue with him.

But only in this way did he realize that he was actually very good and couldn’t make low-level mistakes in the game.

Shen Qi’s lecture actually dispelled his negative emotions.

The atmosphere in the lounge had been stifling for a long time. Ye Lai, who had been watching the war nearby the entire time, opened his mouth, “Shifu, I think we should have restarted the match.”

Although at the beginning, Shen Qi had asked the three of them for their opinions, generally, when players ran into network connection issues, they would choose to restart the match. At the beginning, the jumping point they chose was not Zharki.

Ye Lai was very conflicted.

Originally, he wasn’t going to mention it again, but in this game, Xu Leng wasn’t the only one who had made mistakes. If they had chosen to restart the game, then none of this would have happened.

After he spoke, Shen Qi, who had not moved for a long time, finally raised his eyes and looked at him. There was no fluctuation in the depths of his eyes. “Why didn’t you mention it at the beginning of the match?

“When did the relationship between the two of you get so good that when one person makes a mistake, it requires the other person to find another topic to change the subject?”

“I’m not changing the subject, now I think we should have restarted the match… Otherwise, isn’t it like we let others off in the very first match?”

Shen Qi was very familiar with Ye Lai’s temperament and understood that he was talking earnestly.

But at this point, raising this question was a bit like adding fuel to the fire.

He rubbed the sofa with one hand.

The material wasn’t particularly good.

He then ran his hand through his hair.

Shen Qi uncrossed his legs and put his feet on the ground. “If you want to redo the match, I’ll talk to the organizer, but Xu Leng made a low-level mistake. Can you help him compete?”

He snorted, with some sarcasm in his tone as he said, “Ye Lai, you’ve been with me for so long, and I brought you up myself. When we were in M1G, I knew that I could tolerate your mistakes, because I would also make mistakes. I could even tolerate your guys’ mistakes in the small group match, as that was your growth process, but this is the finals. You guys have experienced so many games before, and making this kind of mistake now, directly exposing yourself to the other party’s line of sight and being a live target…

“If I don’t say anything, would you feel like this thing is just in the past? Next time is also fine, en?”

“I…I didn’t mean that…” Ye Lai flushed after getting pierced in the heart by his words.

At the moment when Shen Qi said this, Ye Lai suddenly understood that Shifu knew Xu Leng’s personality.

Xu Leng already wasn’t that maknae who had wanted to quit the team because he had lost the training match at the beginning.

For the sake of a little mistake, he would watch videos until the middle of the night, practice cover fire by himself until the early hours of the morning, and accept criticism every time as he strove to make progress.

If this mistake was not raised and magnified by Shen Qi, Xu Leng would feel bad internally.

That would actually affect his mood during the game.

By doing this, Shen Qi was actually helping him.

Ye Lai lowered his head and began to sniffle.

Shen Qi was a little irritable. He stood up and pinched Ye Lai’s chin. “Hold back your tears.”

Ye Lai again let out a pitiful “oh” and wanted to cry even more.

Shen Qi looked at the open door, then pushed him over to Xu Leng. “He’s crying for you, so you coax him well for me.”

Xu Leng originally wanted to say a few words for Ye Lai, but he was confused by the current situation.

He could only catch the Ye Lai who had been pushed over to him with both hands.

“I hope you don’t make such low-level mistakes in the future. This time, we’ll just count it as…” Shen Qi looked at the crybaby. “Little apprentice, with you crying all the time, which little girl would dare to marry you in the future?”

With that, he looked at Lu Ziye, who had been silent the entire time. “Coach, are we allowed to date internally?”

Ye Lai, who was crying on Xu Leng’s shoulder, trembled and then immediately stood up and stopped crying.

He liked delicate, soft, and cute young girls!

Xu Leng: …..

Shen Qi snorted.

He added, “If you guys think it’s unfair that we didn’t restart the match, I’ll go apply for it.”

This matter had been his thoughtlessness.

At that time, he had thought that as long as they could get off the plane, it was fine.

But after all, it was the finals. Even though the children agreed, they may feel uncomfortable at the bottom of their hearts.

Ye Lai shook his head.

The second game started in an hour.

The map was Erangel, and the flight path was the same as the match before, going towards the Military Base.

In Fu Mingyuan’s livestream——

[AHHHHHHHH SISTERS? We got new fluff for our CP! Quickly go look at Weibo ah! New pictures of LAND and Angry! I’m dying]

[Let me explain for sisters who still want to watch the game. It’s really nothing, just a picture of Angry pinching his chin, which was taken by the staff]

[???? Why is the screen black]

[There’s also no sound, what’s going on ah?]

[……]

“I’ll get rid of the Hot Search entry right away! Right away!” Du Jing comforted Fu Mingyuan, who was frowning deeply.

Fu Mingyuan tapped his fingers on the table, and his lips were pursed in a straight line.

“After the competition is over, we are going to come out.”

This wasn’t a question, but a statement.

Du Jing: ???

“I’ve gone deaf, would you please say that again?”
