Chapter 150 Clumsy Comfort



This game brought a huge shock to everyone.

On the way back, the car was actually very quiet as everyone was recalling the wonderful moments that had just occurred.

Yu Ke lowered his head, obviously because of Gui Sirui's operation. Compared with Gui Shen, he was really too bad. If he was in a team battle, he would definitely be flustered and not know what to do. Gui Sirui was very calm from beginning to end, and his cooperation with Liu Jingxu was perfect. He was not even as good as Gui Shen, not even as good as the 16-year-old Wei Xiaotian in Guiyu.

Chen Xiao was thinking that after five years, the gap between him and Tang Muzhou was extremely large, and he still needed to accumulate a lot of experience.

Xie Mingzhe was worried whether Tang Muzhou would be scolded.

There are a lot of trolls on the Internet. As early as the Earth era, when those e-sports teams lost a game, they were often scolded by keyboard warriors, with words like "Don't come out and embarrass yourself", "You play ADC with your condition", "You are unable to lead your teammates to collapse", "How much money did the opponent give you", etc. They use all kinds of insults to hit the heart. Some e-sports players even retired because they could not bear the online violence.

Now that we are in the interstellar age, Xie Mingzhe doesn't know whether people still retain the tradition of venting negative emotions online.

Worried, he turned on his computer and searched for the keyword "Tang Muzhou".

He was shocked by the tens of millions of search results. His senior’s popularity was indeed terrifying.

The first search result was "Tang Muzhou's personal homepage". He clicked on it and saw that it was a bit like Weibo on Earth, but the interface was very clear. In addition to the personal information on the homepage, it was also divided into visitor message board, owner's daily updates, card display area, etc.

Xie Mingzhe clicked into the card display area and saw classic wood cards made by Tang Muzhou, such as the Millennium God Tree and Desert Rose. Clicking into the daily dynamics, the first message he forwarded was from the Star Card Professional Alliance.

[Match Report] The tenth season team battle begins, and the debut of Ghost Hell rookie Wei Xiaotian ends perfectly, defeating Fenghua 2:0!

Tang Muzhou not only forwarded the message, but also added a comment: "Ghost Hell's new play style is very interesting, you can watch the game replay [smile]."

Xie Mingzhe: “…”

Senior brother is really carefree. He forwarded the official news so calmly even after losing 0:2?

The number of comments below increased to hundreds of thousands in just ten minutes, showing how much attention Tang Muzhou's personal homepage has received. Xie Mingzhe roughly counted the number of his fans, and it has exceeded 100 million...

Many comments insulting him were pushed to the top of the comments: "How dare you shamelessly forward this? Aren't you ashamed of losing 0:2?" "Fenghua is no longer good. His individual performance was barely good, but his team performance was ridiculous." "What a mess his command was. He lost two games in a row!" "Fenghua will definitely not make it to the playoffs this season!" "When are you going to retire? Won't you embarrass the Wood Department?" "How much money did Guiyu give you? It's too fake that you can lose with such a big advantage!"

Xie Mingzhe: “…”

Sure enough, in the interstellar age, some people still have the habit of venting negative energy on the Internet. Because they are wearing a vest, they don't need to take responsibility for what they say, so they curse without caring about the consequences.

Tang Muzhou was badly scolded. Although there were many die-hard fans who argued with him in the comment section, it was impossible to reason with the black fans who rushed in to scold him.

It's a rare opportunity to see the elegance 0:2, Tang Muzhou's black fans came out in groups, flooding the homepage, and the comment section was simply unbearable to look at, with all kinds of heart-wrenching messages that made Xie Mingzhe angry.

——My senior brother is conducting so well, what are you guys doing here making a fuss?

Although Xie Mingzhe is not a great player, he has played the game for so long that he has his own analysis and judgment of the game. In the first of the two games today, Guijiu came up with a new style that caught Fenghua off guard. But in the second game, to be fair, Tang Muzhou handled it very well, breaking several marks in a row, and his awareness of the game was also very strong. No other club's conductor would do better than him.

However, Guiyu's "Puppet Master" card is indeed a bit annoying. He has to control Ivy to become his puppet at the critical moment, otherwise Guiyu will definitely lose. Fenghua lost by only one card in the end, which Xie Mingzhe thinks is completely understandable.

Seeing that the haters were getting more and more outrageous and even started to attack him personally, Xie Mingzhe resisted the urge to curse back and sent a message to Tang Muzhou after returning to the dormitory: "Brother, I think you did a great job. Both games today were very exciting. The evenly matched duels were very enjoyable to watch. Don't mind the comments of the haters. People who understand the game will naturally know that you tried your best today and conducted very well!"

Tang Muzhou had just returned to the club dormitory when he suddenly received this message. The corners of his lips slightly raised and he read the text carefully again.

Xie Mingzhe continued to add: "Your fans are all defending you! Just ignore the comments of haters as floating clouds in the sky. In the eyes of haters, you are full of flaws from head to toe, and the arrangement of your hair is wrong."

Tang Muzhou chuckled and said, "Are you trying to comfort me?"

Xie Mingzhe's cheeks felt hot as he listened to the low laughter beside him. He felt that he had really done something unnecessary.

Who is Tang Muzhou? In the fifth season, he won 50 consecutive individual championships and swept the league. He founded the Fenghua Club and discovered outstanding players such as Xu Changfeng, Zhen Man, and Shen An. In the ninth season, he won the individual championship again, becoming the only double champion in the league.

He is a man who has experienced many ups and downs. He doesn't care about personal gains and losses, but focuses on the development of the entire Star Card Professional League. He originally proposed the concept of instant death cards in order to change the slow-paced competition status quo of the league.

Is it possible that such a person would be upset because of a few negative comments from haters?

He was making a big deal out of nothing. Seeing those haters scolding Tang Muzhou so harshly, he felt a surge of rage and his head was buzzing. He was even angrier than if he were scolded himself!

——This is my senior brother, one of the strongest players in the league with strong awareness, quick reactions, and first-rate command abilities. How can he allow a bunch of idiots like you to insult him at will!

Xie Mingzhe was so angry that he couldn't help but comfort his senior brother. However, now he is embarrassed.

Listening to Tang Muzhou's laughing voice, Xie Mingzhe replied awkwardly: "I know you don't need comfort. I just think that you are doing a good job, but they still scold you so harshly. They are simply mentally ill!"

Tang Muzhou was very happy that his junior fellow apprentice had actually learned how to "protect one's shortcomings".

It was not in vain that I had helped him during this period. If Tang Muzhou saw his senior brother being scolded without any reaction, he would be really disappointed. Although the comfort at this time was a bit clumsy, it made Tang Muzhou's whole heart soften.

Tang Muzhou's voice became gentler. "I'm fine. After being scolded for five years, I've learned to selectively ignore the comments from haters. It's just a regular season game. Guiji used new tactics today, but our Fenghua team is not the strongest lineup yet. This is just a test match. Winning or losing is not important. We all know what's going on."

Hearing him say this, Xie Mingzhe immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This is the best. Losing in the regular season won't have a big impact on the later stages. With Fenghua's strength, there will be no problem in entering the playoffs."

Tang Muzhou calmly changed the subject: "Have you thought of a solution to Guiyu's marking style of play?"

Xie Mingzhe had been thinking about this, and since his senior brother asked, he just spoke up to exchange his views: "Use invincibility in advance to withstand the concentrated fire, and use vines to link and evenly distribute the damage. Your solution today is very good. In addition, there are strong control such as mass chaos and mass freezing. However, in the [Underground Chamber] map, because the Hell Ghost launched the mark to concentrate fire at the same time as the entire map was silent, this strong control skill could not be used."

Tang Muzhou smiled with relief and said, "Yes. So, the key to our loss today was the map. The 10-second full-map silence is too restrictive. After today's game, other clubs will definitely study it carefully. You can look forward to next week's game to see how Lao Nie will break the Ghost Hell system from the referee's side."

Xie Mingzhe was very happy to communicate with his senior brother and asked, "Do you think the referee can come up with a solution?"

Tang Muzhou said: "I have great confidence in Lao Nie. Although he only knows how to fight head-on in individual matches, his leadership awareness in team battles is also first-class. If I guess correctly, he might fight violence with violence. Before Guiyu focuses on them, he will first focus on killing Guiyu's core cards."

Xie Mingzhe: “…”

This is indeed a simple and crude countermeasure.

Tang Muzhou then said, "What do you think of the Puppet Master card?"

Xie Mingzhe immediately blurted out his thoughts: "The Puppet Master can control the opponent's dead cards to become his puppets. He becomes stronger when the opponent is strong and weaker when the opponent is weak. This card is indeed difficult to deal with. Moreover, Wei Xiaotian is very smart. He made the Puppet Master a human card, not a joker card."

Tang Muzhou said: "Well, Wei Xiaotian is indeed a newcomer who impressed me this season. Since you can only bring one dead card to each game, he deliberately made the race of his puppeteer different from that of his teammates. This way, if you want to target the joker or monster card, you can't kill his puppeteer in seconds."

Xie Mingzhe asked curiously, "Brother, what do you think is the best way to solve it?"

Tang Muzhou said, "Single-body control skills, such as your Mengpo Soup."

Xie Mingzhe's eyes lit up: "Yes! There is no way to release the control of a single unit. Since the puppeteer can drag my card to be a puppet, I can also control her by force. While she is being controlled, I can quickly focus fire and kill her instantly!"

The two discussed for a while, and Xie Mingzhe felt that his awareness had improved a little. Tang Muzhou was obviously teaching him some tactical ideas for team battles, which benefited him a lot.

It was not until the evening when they were about to go to sleep that Xie Mingzhe suddenly asked, "By the way, Senior Brother, is your birthday coming soon?"

Tang Muzhou was a little surprised: "How do you know?"

Xie Mingzhe said, "Today, I searched the news and clicked on your personal homepage. It said that your birthday is November 25th and your zodiac sign is Sagittarius. I don't know if it was just a random number or if your birthday is really on the 25th?"

Tang Muzhou said: "It's true. The league requires that players' information cannot be fabricated."

Xie Mingzhe opened the calendar and took a look. Today was the 7th. There were still two weeks until his senior's birthday. He could prepare a gift and give him a surprise. Thinking of this, Xie Mingzhe couldn't help but get excited and asked, "Are you going to celebrate your birthday with the people in the club? Or with your fans?"

"I'm not interested in celebrating my birthday, why are you asking me this all of a sudden?"

"I'm just asking casually." Xie Mingzhe pretended to be calm.

Tang Muzhou did not expose the other party, and smiled and said: "Okay, go to bed early."

He guessed that his junior fellow apprentice might prepare a birthday present for him, but he could only wait and see what it was.

After Xie Mingzhe finished the conversation, he took out the half-drafted "Tang Muzhou Card" from the drawer.

In the previous school competition, he casually drew a picture of Tang Muzhou. Tang Muzhou liked it very much and asked him to draw it into a picture, frame it and hang it at home. Xie Mingzhe decided to finish drawing this huge card and give it to his senior as a birthday present.

Of course, with only one painting, it feels a bit perfunctory.

After all, Tang Muzhou had helped him a lot, and he should also prepare well for Tang Muzhou's birthday.

The temperature has dropped recently, and it is really cold outside. When I saw them wearing their team uniforms during the game today, the material of the uniforms was obviously not that thick. My brother must be cold on the road. Why not buy him a sweater and let him wear it under his uniform during the game? It is both light and warm.

Although the sweater is a bit ordinary, it is quite practical in winter. Even if he has enough sweaters in his closet, he can change them if I give him another one. After all, there are only so many styles of sweaters and they will never go out of style.

Xie Mingzhe made up his mind and immediately searched Tang Muzhou's height and weight on the Internet. He decided to go to the mall another day to pick out a piece of clothing for Tang Muzhou that suits his personal temperament.

Xie Mingzhe had no idea that giving clothes to friends as gifts was a big taboo, because normally only close lovers would give clothes to each other - and the subtext of giving clothes to each other was, one day, I will take it off with my own hands.
