In the end, "The whole team is handsome" easily won the championship of this qualifier.
The qualifying rounds are similar to the group stage, and the top team in the group stage can directly advance to the semifinals without having to go through the subsequent revival round.
Only then did everyone realize that the suddenly appearing new team, Yi Shidai, was actually the dark horse of this competition.
After investigation, the organizers found that "The Whole Team is Handsome" did not use any cheats; they won the game entirely on their own merits.
Therefore, while Gu Zhilin and others won the match and went offline, the organizers also issued a clarification regarding the "cheating" allegations against the dark horse player.
Gu Zhilin and the others emerged from the game pod, all three still somewhat excited.
The one who showed it most clearly was Shen Guannan: "Awesome, so awesome! Gu Zhilin, what was with that sudden flash attack you just made?"
Gu Zhilin smiled but did not answer; he did not know how to explain such a mysterious and enigmatic thing.
But what he wanted to do most at that moment was to tell Lu Jin'an that he had won first place.
Although they are not yet the champions, it's not impossible for them to win the championship given the current situation.
He was about to send a message to Lu Jin'an through the AI when he saw Chen Chen walking towards them, looking to be in a good mood, with Lu Jin'an following behind him.
Most importantly, Lu Jin'an's appearance was particularly eye-catching at this moment, because he was dragging a huge thing that looked like a roof beam towards them.
Gu Zhilin's heart suddenly raced, even though the thing was wrapped in an opaque white cloth and its shape was not even visible.
But he felt like he knew what it was.
So while Shen Guannan was excited and Wen Yili was congratulating him with a smile, he just stood there staring blankly at Lu Jin'an as if he couldn't move.
Lu Jin'an saw Gu Zhilin as soon as she entered.
Seeing his reaction, I realized he had guessed what was in my hand.
So he smiled and said, "Congratulations on winning first place. This is your reward."
It took Gu Zhilin a long time to react. Before everyone could understand what had happened, they were about to ask Gu Zhilin what was wrong.
He suddenly strode forward to Lu Jin'an's side, his hand already on the beam-sized object.
"Didn't you have a selection process in the army today? Why did you come here..." He was so excited that he didn't know what to say, but he instinctively asked the question he had wanted to ask at the beginning.
Lu Jin'an raised an eyebrow and said, "The selection has nothing to do with me. I'm here to get your prize."
Gu Zhilin was delighted with the prize. As he unwrapped the white fabric, he said, "How did you know I would get first place?"
"I personally trained you guys. If you can't even get first place in the preliminaries, where will I put my face?" Lu Jin'an chuckled, but then looked at the excited Gu Zhilin and said, "Besides, with such an excellent helmsman like you, how could we not get first place?"
Gu Zhilin was quite pleased with the compliment that followed: "Wasn't this thing already handed over to the Earth Alliance? How did you manage to get it out?"
"Emmm, of course, some tricks were used."
Upon hearing this, Gu Zhilin paused in his hand as he unwrapped the gift: "What methods? You didn't steal it, did you? That won't do. You have to return it. What you're doing is illegal."
People believe whatever you say. Lu Jin'an looked at Gu Zhilin, who clearly adored the saber but still asked her to send it back for her sake. Her heart melted.
"Don't worry, it's all legal. I just asked my dad for help and used our family's status." Lu Jin'an really wanted to ruffle this person's hair.
The fine, soft hair felt very comfortable; he had tried it before.
But he still remembered that this person had said that a man's waist and head are not his own and should not be touched.
So he can't touch them, but... what if they belonged to him?
Lu Jin'an didn't dare to think too much and quickly brought her thoughts back to the present.
Don't be too happy yet, there's more.
As he spoke, he took out a tortoise shell and copper coins from his pocket and handed them to Gu Zhilin.
Gu Zhilin was genuinely excited: "Ah! My tortoise shell, my copper coins, my magic weapon, Lu Jin'an, you're so kind!"
He excitedly stepped forward and hugged the man in front of him.
Then quickly take the tortoise shell in your hand and examine it carefully.
At the same time, he couldn't help but exclaim, "More than a thousand years! They are still so intact and usable. They truly deserve to be called 'thousand-year-old tortoises' and 'ten-thousand-year-old turtles'."
When he's happy, his smile is very obvious, unlike his usual slight smile. At this time, you'll notice two shallow dimples appearing on his cheeks when his smile is at its widest.
It's not obvious; you have to look closely to notice it, but it just looks very beautiful.
At this moment, Shen Guannan and Wen Yili also came forward.
"What is it that you treasure so much?" The first thing Shen Guannan noticed was the large saber that was almost as tall as the roof beam.
Gu Zhilin smiled and said, "It is a treasure."
Seeing the two men's curiosity, they quickly disassembled the saber, and everyone then discovered that it was a giant sword.
"Is such a big knife meant for exhibition?" Wen Yili asked with some doubt, because in his eyes Gu Zhilin didn't really like flashy but impractical things.
Moreover, this thing has no practical value.
Gu Zhilin shook his head: "Of course it's not for exhibition purposes, it's a real weapon."
"Weapons? How do you use them?" Upon hearing this, Shen Guannan's eyes lit up.
He stepped forward and wiped the blade: "I didn't see a launch port either!"
"Because these are cold weapons," Gu Zhilin said.
"It's so big, even a knife wouldn't be able to swing it." Shen Guannan still couldn't understand why the knife was made so big.
He hadn't seen this treasure in a long time, and now that he had it in his hands, he was itching to get his hands on it.
So he said, "Come on, let's go to the backyard and I'll practice for you."
Everyone was intrigued by this and headed towards the backyard.
Even Chen Chen, who originally came for the qualifiers, couldn't resist following along.
He originally stayed behind because he came in first place in the qualifiers, intending to discuss the progress of the competition with them.
Unexpectedly, Lu Jin'an brought such a thing, and Gu Zhilin even wants to practice it.
He was very curious about how Gu Zhilin, with such a small frame, could train like that.
In fact, Gu Zhilin really is capable.
The saber was large and heavy, but Gu Zhilin was able to lift and swing the giant saber by holding the hilt, and it was clear that he was not just swinging it randomly.
It is not just a skill, but true swordsmanship.
Lu Jin'an was the first to realize that this person was actually using the power of the knife itself, and then moving along with the trajectory of the knife.
Sometimes they even use the knife to support their body as they leap into the air.
His wrists are very flexible and strong.
It can raise the knife and control the direction of the attack along the direction the knife is slashing down.
He never imagined that humans could so easily wield weapons more powerful than themselves.
Just as everyone was marveling at Gu Zhilin's superb swordsmanship, Gu Zhilin turned to Lu Jin'an and said, "General Lu, would you like to practice?"
