On the day of the departure ceremony, the five POG members sat in the lounge and watched the game with extraordinary ease. It was the first game of the day, the first game between GGB and SC.
Xu Qing lazily lounged in his gaming chair and sighed, "This might be the most relaxing time I've ever watched a game. I felt no pressure at all, and it was actually quite enjoyable."
Zhou Yao was even more relaxed, sipping milk tea and watching the broadcast screen: "I won the championship and am the number one seed. Of course I'm happy."
Xu Qing: "Luckily we won, otherwise we would be sitting on the field right now."
Gu Yueshuang sighed, "But actually, I still have a headache when I think about the moving boxes that haven't been sorted out at the base."
Fang Butao: "Think positively. Old Gu is watching over you at home. Maybe everything will be in order when you get back."
They didn't actually have a day off after the competition, but took a day to move.
The team and Mr. Lin next door are both moving.
After the Intercontinental Championship, their fan base has skyrocketed, and more and more people are coming to the base to gank. Although there is Brother Hei to guard the house, Brother Hei is always yelling, and he is tired, and the old man is also tired.
The old man didn't want to disturb their training, so he waited until all their games were over before saying he wanted to move. He was going to move to his own house in the city, which he had renovated and had been sitting out for a while, so it should be habitable. The only problem was that he wouldn't be able to help the children cook anymore, and Old Man Lin felt a little guilty about that.
Gu Yang and Fang Butao naturally felt even more guilty after hearing this and could only apologize repeatedly.
In fact, because the number of POG personnel was increasing, Gu Yang had already found a new base and had it renovated, but he hadn't had time to tell anyone.
After a few people discussed it, they decided to take advantage of this opportunity to move together.
Gu Yang asked the team members to pack their luggage and told them to remember to keep the moving boxes and luggage separate because training would start again soon.
You can put important items away yourself. If you don’t mind, you can ask a part-time worker to help you organize them.
A group of people who couldn't take care of themselves naturally wanted help sorting things out. But just in case, everyone hoped the part-time workers wouldn't throw away the boxes, lest they get lost. Then, they confidently handed the new base over to the part-time workers, and the team members went to the departure ceremony.
Gu Yueshuang was worried and asked Lin Yanqiu, "How is Grandpa Lin doing?"
Lin Yanqiu: "His students are helping with the move, so they'll probably be able to pack faster than us."
Xu Qing nodded in understanding. "Come to think of it, it makes sense. They only have one person and one dog, so they can move things quickly. With so many of us, it's normal for things to go wrong."
"Our takeout has arrived."
Lu Minghao jumped up when he received the call and quickly pulled Yang Lin to get the takeout.
After a while, they came in carrying large and small bags of fragrant takeout.
Fang Butao sighed: "You should start a food broadcast to let everyone see how you watch the competition."
This proposal was unanimously opposed by everyone. Xu Qing waved his hands repeatedly: "Forget it, forget it. I'm afraid of live broadcasting now."
Gu Yueshuang: "What's wrong?"
Zhou Yao: "Forget about the live broadcast. I'm now getting some disgusting comments in the comment section of Weibo. They're all directed at Shuangshuang. Those scum are a disgrace to us men."
At this time, Gu Yueshuang still couldn't quite understand the extent of disgust. Then she curiously opened her Weibo and prepared to take a look at her Weibo comments to see how "disgusting" it was.
Gu Yueshuang: "The comment section is okay..."
Xu Qing knew the bad habits of men too well, so he said, "Try sending a private message."
Gu Yueshuang flipped through the pages casually: "It's not bad, just some normal encouragement..."
Before she finished speaking, Gu Yueshuang paused. She didn't expect that someone would send her pornographic pictures.
Gu Yueshuang had the urge to take a screenshot and post it on Weibo to criticize the person, but after thinking about it, she decided not to pollute the eyes of other innocent onlookers, so she decided to send a regular Weibo warning first: "Jin Zhen Gu, please stop sending private messages to pollute my eyes. This is a warning once, and next time you will pollute the eyes of the police uncle :)"
【???】
【Who am I to be so disgusting? 】
[I suddenly understood why I didn't enter the industry directly as a female player before...]
[I feel sorry for Shuangshuang, give her a hug, and go wash your eyes quickly]
Fang Butao was caught off guard: "Why did you post on Weibo? Say hello to me..."
Gu Yueshuang: "Sorry, sorry, I'm really disgusted..."
Fang Butao held his forehead with his hand. "It's okay. I'll organize my words. I also need to inform the officials. We seem to be stealing the spotlight a bit... After all, today is the bubble match and the departure ceremony."
Zhou Yao was filled with righteous indignation: "What kind of garbage is this! We must separate ourselves from these scum. There are still normal people among our fellow men."
Lin Yanqiu hadn't seen the picture, but he could imagine what Gu Yueshuang had seen, and said, "Why not just sue me directly?"
Gu Yueshuang: "I don't have the energy to focus on it for now. Forget it, let's prepare for the World Championship first and postpone these things for now."
Lin Yanqiu was very persistent: "You can entrust it to a lawyer and keep the records. Leave it to me."
Gu Yueshuang had no idea what these words meant, but she trusted Lin Yanqiu very much, so she nodded: "Okay, I'll do as you say."
Fang Butao held his forehead again: "Can you discuss this with me as well?"
When the two newcomers came back from getting their takeout, they found the atmosphere had completely changed. They were confused and asked, "What happened?"
Gu Yueshuang rolled up her sleeves and said, "Come on, spread out the takeaway food so I can wash my eyes with the food... and wash the eyes of my fans as well."
Everyone hurriedly did as they were told.
Fang Butao reminded him, "When you post on Weibo this time, remember to ask everyone to pay more attention to the bubble competition and help attract traffic so that the officials won't find fault with us."
"OK." Gu Yueshuang agreed happily.
If only this post about having food, drinks and watching the game was posted, it would seem like it would attract hatred, but when combined with the previous Weibo post, it made fans feel sorry for Gu Yueshuang, and she inadvertently made herself feel miserable.
Gu Yueshuang had a good attitude and adjusted herself quickly. After a while, she put the matter behind her and calmly gave her phone to Lin Yanqiu, asking him to collect evidence and contact a lawyer.
Zhou Yao asked: "Who do you think will win?"
Gu Yueshuang: "It's about the same. It all depends on my condition today."
Xu Qing: "I'm optimistic about GGB. They're still a little bit stronger. After all, they have more competition experience."
Zhou Yao bumped into him: "Pah, pah, pah, we have no experience in competitions."
Lu Minghao pointed at Gu Yueshuang: "And there is an inexperienced genius sitting here."
Xu Qing disagreed: "How can we compare? How often does a genius like this appear?"
Qin Ye was curious: "Forget about the other things, why are you so skilled at commanding?"
Gu Yueshuang said shamelessly: "Talent."
If you use what you learned in your previous life in this life, isn’t that a talent?
Everyone: “…”
Gu Yueshuang: "But I'm actually more optimistic about GGB. SC is a bit too rigid. They seem to have a fixed formula, and once that formula is broken, it seems like the whole team won't play anymore."
Lin Yanqiu took time out of his busy schedule to agree: "Yes, it seems like the whole team has obsessive-compulsive disorder."
Qin Ye: "It's probably because of the lack of adaptability and the lack of flexibility in command."
When it comes to game-related topics, he always talks more.
Xu Qing said excitedly: "Want to bet on the score? Those who didn't guess correctly pay."
Lin Yanqiu was about to say that this kind of activity was not good, but Gu Yueshuang was the first to join in: "I bet 3:1, GGB wins."
Lin Yanqiu changed his words very naturally: "Follow the ticket."
Xu Qing was stunned: "How can this be done? No more following the votes! You even need a reason!"
The eight people, including Fang Butao, listed all the possibilities, and no matter what the situation was, at least one person would get a free meal.
Although Fang Butao himself did not know why he was forced to participate in this activity, he was still happy to do it considering that at least he did not have to use public funds for food and drink.
After all, the team is essentially a poor team.
Fang Butao didn't realize it until he was transferring the money. Although he didn't have to use public funds for food and drink, he still had to spend his meager salary!
He burst into tears and took out the money with tears in his eyes, thinking that he must have been angry with Gu Yueshuang and lost his mind.
In the end, the two Cs guessed the score correctly. Gu Yueshuang put on her travel uniform and walked out of the lounge first with a proud look on her face.
The so-called expedition uniform is actually a specially designed jacket, which is only worn on the expedition day and in promotional videos, and then thrown into the closet to collect dust.
This year's design was a long gown with a Chinese dragon on the back, about to soar into the sky. But the one given to Gu Yueshuang was obviously too big, almost dragging on the ground.
The official staff explained that POG sizes are usually a bit large, so they just gave everyone a large size, forgetting that there was a petite girl like Gu Yueshuang.
Gu Yueshuang didn't know what to say about this. She wasn't actually short compared to other girls, but most of the guys on their team were either very tall or very fat, which made her look petite.
Gu Yueshuang sighed a little melancholy while putting on her clothes. She didn't ask for the privilege of having them specially customized, but it would obviously be wrong to give her one that didn't fit.
However, the expedition uniform is embroidered with the team logo, team name, player names, etc., which makes it difficult to change.
The departure ceremony was also broadcast live in full.
Many people wanted to see whether Gu Yueshuang would get a skirt as a special expedition conquest, so many people came to the live broadcast room after the bubble game, causing the departure ceremony to be even more popular than the bubble game.
[Our Shuangshuang's clothes are obviously too big, aren't they? Why are hers almost dragging on the ground when others' reach their calves?]
[Maybe the official understanding of women's clothing is wrong, but oversized ones look good too! ]
[Does this robe really look a bit like a skirt when worn open? ]
[With the belt on, this looks just like my bathrobe! ]
[Wait a minute, you're making it impossible for me to look directly at this expedition! ]
Do your bathrobes have embroidery and rhinestones? The official team really spent a lot of money this year. Is it because of the traffic brought by the female contestants?
[It’s not very pretty actually…]
Enough of the previous cynicism. Earlier, you guys said, "Even though I'm a man, I still think Shuang is good-looking." Now you're being cynics?
[This male fan thinks Shuangshuang is absolutely beautiful and does not want to be represented, let alone be lumped in with those scum]
There was a heated debate on all platforms, and soon this expedition became a hot topic.
Gu Yueshuang knew nothing about this until the official said that they would specially customize a suitable expedition suit for her.
After the departure ceremony, the players of the three teams gathered in a large lounge waiting for official arrangements. I heard that there would be a celebration banquet today.
Yang Chi joked with Gu Yueshuang, "You guys gave us a trending topic for nothing the other day, so are you supposed to go back today?"
After he finished, he habitually searched himself to see what people thought of his game, and found that most of them were discussing Gu Yueshuang.
Gu Yueshuang shrugged: "Who wants to see something this disgusting? Sorry, I didn't mean to steal your attention, I just felt disgusted when I saw it."
“It’s really great, very cool.”
Lu Cheng coughed lightly and said shyly, "Actually, I also receive this kind of disgusting stuff. It's very annoying, but I can't say it openly for fear of negative repercussions."
Yang Chi was a little confused. He never expected that his male teammates would also receive such a thing.
Chi Nan was also miserable: "I received it too, it's really disgusting."
Yang Chi: “???”
Chi Nan took the opportunity to complain: "I also received some pornographic comics, of me and various people, and some even showed me pregnant, which was also disgusting."
Xu Qing was not only unsympathetic but also added insult to injury: "That was caused by your marketing strategy. You can't blame others."
Chi Nan sighed: "There's no other way. Life forces me. My boss said I can't survive if I don't act like this."
Xia Yan looked at their clean uniforms, which only had two or three sponsors, and asked curiously, "How did your team survive?"
Gu Yueshuang: "Depending on love? Depend on the northwest wind?"
Lin Yanqiu suppressed her nonsense: "We have sponsorship. The amount is not large, but it is enough to survive."
Chi Nan was actually a little curious, but this was a business secret after all, so he couldn't ask too much.
Xu Qing laughed happily: "We still have income from live broadcasting, so it's not bad."
Lin Yanqiu said, "Whether or not, promote the sponsor more. Maybe there will be a bonus."
POG's few money-loving friends opened their eyes wide: "Really?"
Chi Nan rubbed his hands: "I will also help you promote it, will you give me a red envelope?"
Xia Yan knocked on his head and said, "Wake up, or our sponsor will deduct your bonus."
Chi Nan: “…Oh.”
Lu Cheng shook his phone and said to Gu Yueshuang, "I'm going to use this opportunity to vent my frustrations. I'm forwarding this."
Lin Yanqiu said, "We're preparing to sue. Do you want to join us?"
Lu Cheng thought about it carefully and shook his head. "Forget it, I won't bother you anymore. If I continue to do this after I retire, I will sue you. Thank you."
Gu Yueshuang sighed slightly, feeling that life was not easy for anyone.
Lu Cheng whispered to her, "There are a few pro players who don't have very good lifestyles. Remember to stay away from them."
Gu Yueshuang: "For example?"
Lu Cheng told her a few names, all of whom she was not very familiar with, but she silently memorized the names.
Recently, there are a lot of people trying to build relationships with her by adding her as a friend, but she hasn’t paid much attention to them. She didn’t pay much attention to them before, let alone now?
Gu Yang also rushed over from the base during the evening dinner. Several teams took the opportunity to finalize the training time and location, and then arranged some vacation for their players.
After the departure ceremony, the POG team members seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth. They could not be found anywhere. There was no official news, and no one encountered them. Some people even ran to the POG base and found that the lights were off, as if everyone had left the building and run away.
About a week later, POG's official Weibo account finally spoke out, tactfully stating that since the semi-finals, people have been coming to the base to watch, disturbing the rest of the elderly person next door. Out of desperation, POG and the elderly person chose to move together, and hoped that everyone would no longer go to the original base to disturb other residents.
While fans were condemning the incident, they were also concerned about how the POG players would be fed. The official Weibo account replied with a grievance: "Let them eat takeout for a while."
Fans volunteered one after another: "I have a nutritionist qualification certificate, I can come to the base to be an aunt!"
"I have a chef's license and graduated from New Oriental!"
Fang Butao thinks these fans are cute and interesting, but at the same time, there are also some bad voices.
For example, some people put the blame on female fans right away, saying that those who go to the GANK base must be female fans, who don’t know anything and only know how to gossip.
It was originally just a quarrel between fans, and no one expected that Gu Yueshuang would be irritated.
Gu Yueshuang directly replied using her main account: "I'm sorry, it's mostly men who are affecting the elderly. And how come you, a knowledgeable guy, are already gossiping before this clueless female fan has even started? Of course, normal men, please distance yourself from these scum and don't take it personally."
[Great rebuttal! I've been fed up with people who have this inexplicable sense of superiority for a long time!]
[Shuangshuang, you are obviously a female player, so why are you a female fan? (doge)]
[Nothing wrong with that, I am my own biggest fan (wrong)]
A short while later, Lin Yanqiu also posted an explanation on Weibo: "When Heige sees strangers trying to enter the house, he will bark. Girls are afraid of dogs and might run away at the first sound. Because Heige is here, fewer girls come. Male compatriots who are not afraid of dogs still want to go inside, and Heige will keep barking, which can easily disturb the elderly. So after discussion, we decided to move. There will be no Heige and no elderly people at the new address. But I still hope everyone will be rational. After all, the address is in the suburbs, and it is not convenient for everyone to go there and back. If you cross the line, you will easily be followed by a police car."
[When I saw the previous part, I thought the captain was too gentle and easy to be bullied, but when I saw the last sentence, I couldn’t help laughing out loud]
[I can only say that he is indeed the captain]
Captain Lin is really gentle, and even gave everyone a decent reason. Actually, it's just a stalker! Just like the ones who posted diao before, they are all perverts, please take it seriously!
[So you disappeared for so long because you moved? ]
[Off topic, when everyone disappears, they disappear together, and when they reappear, the two Cs reappear together. Are they together?]
[Upstairs, what kind of together are you talking about? (dog head)]
The POG team members were not idle during the days after the departure ceremony. The vacation they were supposed to take was occupied by the official to shoot a promotional video. When Fang Butao saw the schedule, he simply arranged the sponsor's advertising as well, so that he could give them a complete vacation.
Although they were unable to take the holiday as agreed, Fang Butao was very humane and agreed to give them a few more days of holiday as compensation, but it had to be postponed for some time.
A group of single guys have nowhere to go during the holidays. Xu Qing is afraid that these internet-addicted teenagers will get rusty in the base, so he simply organizes a secret room game.
It started with a POG seven-player game—although it was partly forced.
Later, the singles from FJ and GGB also heard the news and joined the escape room group. Because there were too many singles and one escape room couldn't hold them all, everyone simply split into two groups.
Later, the two groups could not accommodate more people, so some cowards were left outside to play script-killing games.
Gu Yueshuang found the secret room boring, so she stayed outside to play script-killing games. Naturally, Lin Yanqiu was there too.
Then Gu Yueshuang found that the script had a lot of bugs and was more torturous than the escape room, so she simply applied to the merchant and went in to play the role of a ghost NPC.
They have been frequent visitors to escape rooms these days and have tried all the highly rated escape rooms nearby. The store manager naturally knew her and agreed to her request.
Gu Yueshuang knew all of this group of people well, and knew who was the most timid and easiest to scare. It was like a hell on earth with screams everywhere.
The store manager looked at the surveillance footage and began to reflect: "Shouldn't I remind the players not to assault the NPCs? Her intimidation methods could easily drive them crazy and cause them to accidentally assault others..."
Lin Yanqiu also fell into deep thought: "I also forgot to remind her not to hit anyone when she goes in... What if she injures these players? How can we compete in the World Championship?"
Store manager: “???”
Don't scare him, the person who went in is obviously a girl who doesn't look like she can fight much!
Representatives from both teams abandoned their scripts and stood up. "Should I go in and warn my teammates?"
The store manager thought about it and agreed that it was OK, but they had to go in by themselves and there would be no staff to lead them.
For the safety of their teammates and the prize money for the World Championship, the two resolutely entered the secret room with a fearless attitude of death.
Gu Yueshuang naturally would not let these two cowards go.
After a while, screams were heard one after another in the secret room.
The first group of contestants who entered the chamber were separated because they were tasked with completing their tasks. They were not all together, but they also noticed something was wrong because of the excessive screaming: "How many of us are there?"
"Will this secret room give us more teammates out of thin air?"
"Wait, there won't be a ghost among us, right?"
In the darkness, these cowards scared themselves and frightened themselves half to death.
A passerby was frightened by the incessant screams and asked curiously, "Is your secret room really scary? Is there really a ghost in there?"
The store manager was in a state of mixed emotions, not knowing whether to be happy or to hold his chest in despair. He could only weakly explain, "Our secret room isn't actually that scary..."
“Ahhhhh——”
Before he could finish his words, a sharp and terrified scream came from the wall in the secret room.
“…”
Passersby's eyes practically said, "Isn't this scary? Are you trying to trick me into going in and using me as fertilizer for the little ghosts?"
The store manager held his forehead, not knowing how to explain for a moment.
Their secret room wasn't that scary, it was just the guests scaring each other and themselves...
As for Gu Yueshuang, after being the mastermind behind the scenes, she hid her fame and honor, and asked everyone with an innocent look, "Is the secret room really that scary?"
The author has something to say: After watching the video and knowing the truth, people responded: “…￥%*&!” (If you weren’t a woman, we would have put you in a sack and thrown you into the Huangpu River!)
