Ch92 - The Finals Part 3

Edited by kat

Fu Mingyuan reopened the livestream and switched to the picture given to him by the main organizer.

Du Jing wisely chose to shut up. They couldn’t speak now. He had to stay silent, hold back his anger, and avoid getting angry. Anyway, Fu Mingyuan would livestream two matches at most, since the host would be able to come back from the hospital in the evening.

Du Jing wandered around for a while. In the end, he pulled over a few people from the public relations department who were staring fixedly at the game on the big screen, and they went to a small conference room.

Public relations must be prepared in advance. When Weibo exploded, he couldn’t be held responsible for that.

[What kind of garbage system is this, freezing all the time?]

[When will we stop having to watch laymen as commentators? Shit]

[You’re so worked up ne, Fu Ge didn’t even say anything ah. If you don’t want to listen, then just go listen to the casters talk, wouldn’t that be fine]

[The CP I ship is back!!]

[Little Yinyin Fairy: How can you ship a cult CP!!!]

[What cult? We accept everything]

Fu Mingyuan pursed his lips. When his eyes fell on the “Little Yinyin Fairy” account, his frown relaxed slightly. “Focus on your work.”

After saying these four words, he focused on watching the game without saying anything more.

Ji Yin, who was shooting an advertisement and sneakily watching a livestream: ?

Is Boss talking to me?

Ji Yin looked at the photographer, who was still adjusting the set, and continued to watch the game.

The second match had already been going on for ten minutes.

The safety zone had shrunk to the upper-right corner, but QAQ’s location, the Farm, was a few cities and mountains and rivers away from the safety zone, as always.

Chunxi couldn’t help but complain, “During the small group competition, I couldn’t tell that QAQ was this unlucky, but in these two matches, I’ve really learned what it means to be unlucky.”

This game played out normally, without any big waves.

QAQ scored six kill points, died due to racing the poison, and ranked fourth. They got nine points total, and their total points were still in third place.

HUOJ and EVE’s rankings had switched, and BIG’s ranking wasn’t ideal. They had been eliminated at the beginning of the match, and their total points ranked outside the top ten.

At the end of the third match, BIG, who originally had poor results, successfully ate chicken and climbed from outside the top ten to eighth place.

QAQ lost Cold at the beginning of the match, ranked fourth, and took five kill points.

Their total score was the same as the team in fourth place.

Generally speaking, they had played pretty ordinarily, without any particularly brilliant moves.

But now there was already a quarrel in the barrage.

They targeted the low-level mistake Xu Leng had made in the first match.

[Cold was obviously weighing them down in the last three matches, okay?]

[This is the level of the legendary champion team in the finals?]

[It’s only been three matches, and you guys have fucking fixed the result with three matches? A bunch of idiots]

[If you can then you go up?]

[Joking oh, QAQ is going to the Asia Championships, and Angry’s comeback can be the same as before oh]

[Deliberately ambiguous, reported]

[BIG, come on!! Rush in ah!]

[QAQ come on for me! I believe you guys can do it!]

[I have to say, this game really depends on your face. Look at QAQ’s matches, every match they’re outside the safety zone]

[Start making excuses, continue white-washing]

[……]

Before the start of the fourth match.

The QAQ livestream switched links.

Fu Mingyuan’s livestream was closed for a few seconds.

After a few minutes, the entire screen was suddenly frozen by hearts covering the screen again.

[Cyber Sweetie’s Gege has sent Anchor Cyber Sweetie 10 Love Hot Air Balloons]

[……]

It was spammed ten times.

The barrage——

[Shit, here it comes again, whose anchor’s fan is this]

[I know, I know, AHHHHHH it’s been so long since Sweetie appeared! Gege really loves him ba]

[Just specifically affecting others watching the competition?]

[The competition hasn’t started yet ne. I’d rather watch a local tyrant show off their love than two old casters]

[Perfect love, I’m in tears now]

[Did QAQ send money to the casters?]

[They probably didn’t send money. If they really had, how could they get stuck in the poison ring every match]

[Thank you, laughing again (is this how they came up with the name QAQ?)]

[……]

The fourth match was on the Miramar map, with the flight path going from Campo Militar to the Prison.

“With this flight path, I think Pecado is a high-risk place again. I’ve always wondered, is it because Pikachu is a high-risk specialty that Pecado is also high risk.”

“Cough, Senior Half, lame jokes aren’t actually funny. QAQ has picked Los Leones! Los Leones is a high-risk place ah! We see that four teams have jumped to Los Leones, scary, scary.”

“At present, QAQ has landed, and only Cold has an S686, while the rest are empty-handed. However, they have run into HUOJ, who are carrying pans. Is it time for a real head to head between men?”

[I laughed until my head flew]

[Am I watching a game or crosstalk? Hahaha]

[Sorry, I can’t help it, my attention was drawn away by the casters]

[Head to head! If you don’t go head to head, you’re not a man!]

The main camera was on Boli, who had a pan. Chunxi continued to explain, “Right now, Boli is jumping up and down and wildly waving the pan around while chasing after Cold, but Cold has been providing cover fire the entire time and turned around to headshot Boli, while the others are all punching each other.”

HUOJ competitors’ seats——

Sharp suddenly shouted, “Captain, God A has run away!”

Sharp had just said that when a kill prompt popped up.

[QAQ-Angry knocked down HUOJ-Sharp with a M416]

Bo Li let out a low curse.

“I originally thought that this would be a fair and just sumo competition, but unexpectedly, Angry chose to abandon his teammates halfway. He should have originally been a traitor, but unexpectedly, he became a hero coming down from the sky.”

HUOJ decisively abandoned Sharp and ran straight away.

If you missed the best searching period, you would always be at a disadvantage.

What was more, Los Leones wasn’t limited to their two teams. If other teams found them fighting now, it would be easy for them to come over and kill them.

QAQ also took a look and then started to loot.

HUOJ lost a person at the beginning of the match.

When the game had gone on for 15 minutes, Los Leones was still in the safety zone, and it directly became a war zone.

Xu Leng gave full play to his human bombing area tendencies and blew up two people.

Shen Qi was crouched behind a fence. As long as the opposite party revealed their head, even if it was for only a second or two, he could aim accurately.

He hit the target every time.

Ye Lai and Lu Tun were responsible for cover fire.

QAQ successfully took eight kill points. At present, they were first place in kills, and survived Los Leones with a full team.

[Damnit ah, the pace of one team fighting against three]

[The flamers have given up now? This is the real strength of your QAQ daddy]

[If this wasn’t the bird’s eye perspective, I swear that I couldn’t see someone opposite]

[This is the difference between professional players and us ordinary people ba]

[No, no, no, this is the difference between heroes falling from the sky and ordinary people like us]

[QAQ is really awesome, God A is awesome AHHHHHHH!]

[Cold is also very good AHHHHH, compared with the newcomers of other teams! He’s really SO great! He’s a natural pro!]

[LAND and TUN are also so great ah! Their tacit understanding is so awesome!]

Shen Qi put down his mouse and looked at Ye Lai. The tip of his tongue touched the corner of his mouth. “Have you worked through your mood?”

Ye Lai let out an “en,” a little ashamed.

The first two matches were his fault.

Shen Qi lowered his eyes, pinched his sore fingers, and half leaned against the back of the chair, closing his eyes to take a quick break. “It’s okay, at least you can still work through it.

“Don’t make it a habit.”

At the end of the fourth match, QAQ’s total points remained at third place, only two points behind second place EVE.

Lu Tun calculated the total scores with a calculator on the computer for a while. “How is HUOJ’s score so high today?

“Why don’t we try to target them next match?”

Shen Qi raised his eyes and glanced lightly at the big screen. His toes swept over the ground. “The score is on the big screen, and how long did it take you to calculate it out here?”

Lu Tun was mocked and rubbed his nose.

Shen Qi then said, “It’s only the first day, so don’t get nervous, play steady.”

Lu Tun was very obedient when listening to Shen Qi’s commands during the game.

However, at the beginning of the fifth match, when Shen Qi wanted to jump to the place that HUOJ often jumped to, Lu Tun felt that he might have been cheated.

Probably because of the suffering they had faced in the last match in Los Leones, HUOJ chose a safe jumping point during the training competition—Hacienda del Patron.

As soon as they landed, they found that QAQ was shadowing them.

Bo Li couldn’t help but whisper “f*ck” again.

And he had used the uncensored version.

“First, let’s have two people per building. Lu Tun, be careful. Bo Li, that old guy, is opposite you.” Shen Qi observed their positions and entered the same house as Ye Lai.

Xu Leng couldn’t help but say, “Captain, don’t you usually call him Didi?”

Shen Qi switched to a 4x scope in seconds and went to the second floor to crouch there. Then he explained, “I said, Bo Li, that little Didi, is next door to you. Does that sound good?”

The referee behind them: …..

Lu Tun and Ye Lai didn’t hold back their laughter. Fortunately, they weren’t firing right now, or else, their trajectory would likely be wildly off and they’d get mocked.

The corner of Xu Leng’s mouth also drew up, and he didn’t dare to say anything else.

“Dog Di, throw a grenade to scare that old guy,” Shen Qi ordered again.

Xu Leng took a grenade off of himself.

The match hadn’t been going on long, so their resources weren’t very rich.

The grenade played its role and went directly into the window of the opposite building, forcing Bo Li to retreat.

And exposing himself to their view.

Shen Qi directly aimed his gun. This happened in a matter of seconds, and Bo Li had nowhere to hide, so he was shot twice by an SKS.

“Captain, someone has come out from the opposite side, and it seems they want to sneak over,” Ye Lai reported, “He’s gone below Lu Tun’s building. I’m in a dead corner here, and can’t get him.”

Shen Qi let out an “en.”

He thought about it. “They should be going over there to pit Dog Di. Let’s do the old routine: Dog Di, be a living target and sacrifice yourself bravely, and die a glorious death.”

Xu Leng answered affirmatively, walked down the stairs from the second floor, and listened to footsteps for a while. After confirming the position of the other party, he chose to shoot directly.

“Cold and Swen have come face to face. Cold is in a very dangerous position right now, and Boli on the opposite floor has also chosen to go over there directly! He jumped out of the window! This position is very tricky, it’s in a dead angle of Angry’s sniping. Angry didn’t move. What is he waiting for?”

“Crouch down and wait one second.”

One shot from the 98K.

It came from the 98K he had switched with Ye Lai for.

Boli fell straight to the ground.

“My eyes are too dazzled, I need to get some glasses. The shot just now happened in a few tenths of a second. With the position that Boli chose, he would only be revealed for a tiny amount of time, but Angry had calculated it accurately!”

This wave of QAQ successfully exchanged one member for three kills, taking out three members of HUOJ.

ZZfen just directly ran away.

After taking out HUOJ, Shen Qi chose to play it safe. The purpose of this match was to pull HUOJ down from their current first place and pull themselves into the top three. Their scores couldn’t exceed the others too much, or else the next two days of the competition would be very difficult.

When this match ended, QAQ was ranked second.

The gap between EVE, which had successfully surpassed second place, and HUOJ had also been successfully narrowed to within ten points.

At the end of the first round of the competition, the most intense online discussion wasn’t about the current rankings of each team.

Instead, in order to regulate the hearts of the excited audience, there were official competition recordings.

This was a very traditional entertainment project, just like the all-star game every year.

Almost every team was caught in these recordings, referred to as their “dark history.”

This year, netizens thought at first that the officials’ style had changed.

This was because the beginning was the sentence from Chunxi about “unexpectedly, he became a hero coming down from the sky.”

But later, it became the different style of “internal team complaints.”

At night, the professional players group chat——

[HUOJ-Boli: @Referee, I suspect that Angry made personal attacks during the competition. Can I report it]

[Referee: ?]

[QAQ—Angry：?]

In the middle of the night, Fu Mingyuan’s Weibo, which hadn’t posted anything in a long time, forwarded the video of “the recorded conversations” from the official PUBG competition account.

With a little heart in the caption.

[? Fu Ge’s account has been hacked]

[Ummm did the assistant switch to the wrong account? What’s with this heart]

[Is it only me who thinks that Angry’s voice sounds familiar and sounds nice?!]

[AHHHHHHH FU GE MADE A WEIBO POST! Fu Ge is doing fanservice! I want to sleep on Gege’s hair!]

[Crazy for you, insane for you, smashing into wooden piles for you!]

[Heart.jpg]

Du Jing, who was scrolling through Weibo: ???

A phone call was made to Fu Mingyuan, who was spending the night with Shen Qi at the base.

Half an hour later, Fu Mingyuan’s latest Weibo post was edited to: [HeartHeart.jpg Hero @Offical PUBG Event Weibo: Today’s audio recordings are sent to all you cuties. Please continue to watch the wonderful game the day after tomorrow~]

[What does this mean?]

[Hahaha, Fu Ge is really serious about publicizing his own team]

[AHHHHHH FU GE WE LOVE YOU!]

[Are you afraid that we misunderstand that you’re supporting a different team? Fu Ge is so cute ah wuwuwu. Who could have thought that such a lovely person would be a man as straight as steel ne?]

[Although there are only two extra words, hahaha]

[……]

Du Jing didn’t know whether to be happy or sad while scrolling through the comments.

This era’s fans were too hard to lead along.

Inexplicably, he was a bit distressed for Fu Ge.

Feeling at ease, he covered himself with his quilt, and went to sleep.
