Over the next two days, the rested Polaris players looked radiant and played with great momentum, winning streak after streak. They finally earned a place in the forum's discussion area for their performance. Contrary to the negative comments they received before, their fan base has visibly broadened, and they are showered with praise.
This was undoubtedly a happy thing. On the way back to the hotel, they were all busy browsing their mobile phones without even looking up. Zhou Yanjun and Xia Tong, the two idiots, almost tripped and were hit on the head by He Youjin several times.
"Can you please keep an eye on the road?" He Youjin complained. "I wonder if any of you want to be the first player in holographic esports history to break a leg while browsing on their phone? If that happens, you'll be embarrassed. I won't stand up for you!"
"But it's really exciting to have so many live fans at once! Right, little dwarf!" Zhou Yanjun and Xia Tong put their arms around each other's shoulders.
"Yeah, yeah!" Xia Tong nodded vigorously: "So many people are cheering us on!"
"Look at how little you've accomplished," He Youjin said with disdain. "You've won three championships in a row. You were once a glorious legend. How come I can't see that? Don't tell me you're just spreading rumors!"
"It's been two years. I haven't felt surrounded by people like this in ages." Shi Ya sighed. "And they aren't attracted by my beauty, but by my therapeutic skills."
"I think they are still attracted by your beauty." Bo Yu said quietly as he flipped through a pile of themed posts with the theme of "Mrs. Shi's Check-in Spot".
Lin Mingfei was the first to put down her phone, looking calmer than anyone else. "One more match tomorrow, and that should be the end of our schedule, right?"
"Yes, that's right," He Youjin said. "Tomorrow's match against Team 770 is even less impressive than the previous Amoon. There's nothing to worry about."
"Anyway, getting in will definitely be no problem," Shi Ya said. "Just play around. Oh, I'm very particular about my bed. I'm already dreaming about going back to base to sleep."
"Me too, me too!" Xia Tong nodded desperately: "I really want to go back and hug my little yellow duck quilt QAQ! The quilt in the hotel is so hard!"
"Okay, okay, okay. I'll book you the earliest return ticket for the afternoon the day after tomorrow. Is 2:40 still in time? Just go back after the fight." He Youjin said, "If you guys don't perform well and are late, don't blame me!"
"Don't blame you, don't blame you!" A group of people laughed in unison and pushed each other back to the hotel.
Man proposes, God disposes. Originally, all the Polaris members were ready to lie down and wait to go home, but the race schedule suddenly changed.
The reason is that two teams happened to choose to withdraw from the competition due to internal problems, and they were located in two different competition venues. This resulted in the number of teams on both sides, which was originally an even number, suddenly becoming an odd number. It is inevitable that one team will be unable to compete.
The scheduled schedule was maliciously disrupted, but the live broadcast could not be stopped. It was like a bolt from the blue. The organizers of the league were overwhelmed and had to hold an emergency meeting overnight. In the end, they made a temporary decision to pick out all the teams that had not completed their schedules, disrupt them and re-match them. Because the incident happened so suddenly, they didn't even have time to organize the managers of the major teams to draw lots. They directly asked the programmers to write a Random program to export the results, and then make specific arrangements and adjustments based on issues such as venue and time.
He Youjin received the notice of the schedule change late at night the next day. He was still confused and sat up from the bed. He rubbed his eyes at the glowing phone screen in the dark, and rubbed his eyes again and again, unable to believe it.
"Yes, that's right." He Youjin wrapped his clothes tightly and said to the five unfortunate people who were yawning, "You won't be able to go home tomorrow."
"Why?!" Shi Ya looked as if she was about to pass out from sleep: "Didn't we agree on that—"
"The schedule has changed, your opponent is not 770 anymore," said He Youjin.
"If it's not, then it's not. The other teams will fight just the same." Zhou Yanjun yawned disapprovingly: "As long as it's not a Sabretooth Tiger or a Shadow or something..."
"It's a saber-toothed tiger." He Youjin interrupted him quietly.
Zhou Yanjun: “?”
After a while, several people said in unison: "Nani??"
He Youjin held his forehead and said, "The officials disrupted all the teams and rematched them, and this is the result. Yes, you are just that unreasonable."
"No, aren't Sabertooth Tiger and the others at the K City competition venue? Is this even possible?" Zhou Yanjun was so shocked that he lost all sleep. "Or are they officially planning to cancel the live broadcast? Are they planning to edit it instead?"
"K City isn't far away, so either we go there or they come?" He Youjin said. "But I guess with Sabertooth Tiger's current status, it's more likely we'll rush over. To make it easier for us, the officials even specially scheduled our schedule to the last day."
"...Fuck." Zhou Yanjun said, "I'm so angry." "It feels like I'm trying to get close to someone who's being ignored." Shi Ya said expressionlessly.
"Really? We can't let Sabertooth Tiger come over?" Bo Yu said, "Their team is so wealthy, they can definitely take a plane instead of a high-speed train!"
He Youjin: "...Do you want people to say 'You are poor, so you are right'?"
"If we can avoid rushing to K City, I'm willing to admit that we're poor. After all, my precious young master can't handle even the slightest travel." Shi Ya said, "Our team is so poor that we can barely make ends meet, let alone buy high-speed rail tickets."
He Youjin: "..."
Xia Tong had been listening attentively beside him without saying a word. Suddenly, he seemed to think of something, took out his cell phone and quietly clicked on Sabretooth_Goblin in the contact list.
Polaris_Blink: Goblin, did you know we're going to have a race together the day after tomorrow?
One minute later
[Sabertooth Tiger_Goblin: Just found out, what's up? ]
[Sabertooth Tiger_Goblin: Is the child too scared to sleep? Too excited to sleep?]
Polaris_Blink: We're not having trouble sleeping, right? We're so sleepy we could fall asleep right here!
[Sabertooth Tiger_Goblin: ...Then why did you come to see me? ]
Polaris_Blink: I'd like to ask if you guys will come to City C to find us!
Sabertooth_Goblin: Why did we come to City C to find you? Can't you come to City K to find us?
Polaris_Blink: Because our team is poor.
[Sabertooth Tiger_Goblin: Just keep talking nonsense! See if I believe you.]
Polaris_Blink: Seriously! Not only can we not afford high-speed rail tickets, we're barely making ends meet! Timer said it himself! If you don't believe me, go ask him!
[Sabertooth Tiger_Goblin: Why do I feel like you seem quite proud?]
Polaris_Blink: So, are you guys coming over? If you do, I can treat you to that internet-famous pizza! It's super delicious.
[Sabertooth Tiger_Goblin: Didn't you just say you were poor?]
Polaris_Blink: I can have Zero treat you guys to a meal!
I don’t know whether it was because the idea of “knocking Zero’s” bamboo pole was too tempting or because the “Internet celebrity pizza” was more tempting, but the goblin actually gave in.
[Sabertooth Tiger_Goblin: You wait? I'll go ask for their opinions.]
Polaris_Blink: Okay! Waiting for you!
A moment later
[Sabertooth Tiger_Goblin: You just said that Zero would treat us to that internet-famous pizza. Does that count?]
Polaris_Blink: Yeah!
[Sabertooth_Goblin: Okay, we agree to come. Lao Zhao is already buying the tickets. You guys just stay where you are and don't run around.]
Polaris_Blink: Great! Waiting for you guys!
[Sabertooth Tiger_Goblin: Bullshit! Are you waiting for this? Get beaten up!]
Xia Tong ignored the goblin's boastful remarks and instead raised her head and said to He Youjin cheerfully, "Manager He! We don't have to go to City K! The goblins said they'll come to City C to meet us! Their manager, Zhao, is already buying the tickets!"
He Youjin was stunned when he heard this: "Huh? How did you know?"
Xia Tong: "I just asked Goblin!" After saying that, he shook his phone with a smile.
He Youjin specifically called the alliance to confirm and learned that Zhao Xin had already clearly stated to the alliance that he would take the bus to City C to participate in the competition tomorrow at noon, and it was not the goblin who fooled Xia Tong.
"That's great, Xia Xiaotong. Your social skills are pretty good now." He Youjin said with praise.
Xia Tong scratched her head embarrassedly: "No!"
"I heard your singing for Sabretooth last time was terrible? So bad that all four of them posted on Weibo mocking you." Shi Ya said in amazement, "Even then, you didn't get blocked. It seems the goblins really love you."
Hearing the word "true love", Lin Mingfei raised her eyebrows and her eyes flickered.
At this time, Xia Tong came close to him, looked up and said, "That's right, I just told the goblins that if the saber-toothed tigers come to City C, you will treat them to a big internet celebrity pizza. I have already promised them, you must agree, you can't refuse!"
Lin Mingfei drawled out a "hmm".
"Give me your phone." He spread his hands towards Xia Tong and said meaningfully, "I'll ask them in person what flavor of internet-famous pizza they want."
Xia Tong didn't suspect anything and handed the phone to Lin Mingfei obediently.
Lin Mingfei swiped her thumb a few times and called up the chat history between Xia Tong and Goblin, and saw that Goblin had just sent another latest message.
[Sabertooth_Goblin: Oh, right, I asked YOYO to bring you some suppositories. Is your constipation better now? Does your butt still hurt?]
Lin Mingfei's eyes gradually narrowed into slits.
"Our team's Omega's butt..." He pressed the voice button and said with a forced smile: "None of your business."
