After the game, Chen Xiao returned to the backstage. He had adjusted his mood and was all smiles. Xie Mingzhe and Yu Ke stood up at the same time and went forward to hug Brother Chen.
Yu Ke's voice was shaking with excitement: "Brother Chen, you are so handsome! You cleared the field and killed 7 cards in one second. It's even more powerful than my Black Impermanence's explosion mark!"
Xie Mingzhe smiled and hugged him, saying, "Well done, Brother Chen."
Chen Xiao hugged his two teammates back and said frankly, "Thank you for the compliment. I accept it all."
This was the first time that he won a match openly in a public event. He no longer had to count the seconds to calculate the CD of the opponent's card skills and then deliberately slow down the opponent and lose the match quietly - such matches were too tiring. Every game was like walking on a tightrope and he could not make any mistakes.
He was able to fully display his strength without any scruples. He played to his heart's content in today's match.
At this time, an official staff member knocked on the door and came in. The girl with a ponytail smiled politely and said, "The next game is between Fatty and Nine-Lived Cat. They will be on stage in five minutes..."
She knocked on the doors of several viewing rooms but couldn't find Uncle Fat. This was the last one, and she thought Uncle Fat must be here. But when she pushed the door open, she saw that all three of them were young people. Ke Xiaoke and Yun Xiao Zhishang had both played in the competition, and there was only one handsome young man who was relatively unfamiliar.
The girl glanced at the handsome boy and asked, "Excuse me, is Uncle Fatty here?"
Xie Mingzhe stood up on his own initiative and said with a smile, "It's me."
“………………” The girl’s eyes widened in disbelief, and her mouth opened so wide that an egg could fit in!
Seeing her jaw drop, Chen Xiao couldn't help but chuckle and touch his nose, then whispered into Yu Ke's ear, "I wonder how many audience members will drop their jaws today?" Yu Ke whispered, "When you just came out, the audience was quite surprised. When Ah Zhe comes out later, I think they will be stunned!"
Xie Mingzhe glanced at his two teammates, shrugged helplessly, then turned to the official staff and said, "Hello, please lead the way."
The official staff member in charge of arranging the players' appearances is also a fan of Uncle Fat in private, so she actively ran to the preparation area to look for Uncle Fat. After searching for a long time, she couldn't find anyone who fits the image in her mind. It turned out to be this tall, thin and handsome young man in front of her?
The girl turned around in a daze and walked forward stiffly with Xie Mingzhe. Her voice was emotionless, as if an intelligent robot was playing a recording: "Uncle Fatty, this way, the race is about to start."
She was clearly lost in thought and was just mechanically completing her tasks.
Xie Mingzhe looked at her zombie-like steps, and wanted to ask the girl to calm down, but in the end he was too embarrassed to say anything, for he was really afraid that the girl would turn around and punch him if she didn't calm down.

At the competition venue, the two commentators carefully analyzed the previous game and then began to introduce the next players.
The female commentator pulled up the player information and said, "Next is the last match of the quarter-finals, Fat Uncle vs. Nine Lives Cat. I believe everyone is familiar with Fat Uncle's ID. He is an original card player who has been very popular recently. He likes to make strange character cards. I think there are many fans of Fat Uncle here today. Tell me, do you like Fat Uncle?"
Thousands of fans at the scene shouted in unison: "I like it!" mixed in with the hoarse screams of many girls.
This popularity is already not inferior to the top players in the professional league.
The male commentator sighed: "Fat Uncle is indeed a very charming person. I remember that in the finals of last season, Liu Shuangcheng used the Dou E card he made to win the championship, but Fat Uncle was not proud at all. He said humbly that Liu Shuangcheng was able to win the championship entirely because of Fang Yu's good command. It can be seen that he is a very graceful person. No wonder so many fans like him."
The female commentator said: "Today is the first time that Fatty has made an official appearance. We saw that the fans at the scene were very thoughtful and even made a lot of posters and slogans..."
The director immediately and cleverly turned the camera to the audience.
There were many slogans made by fans on the big screen, such as "Uncle Fat, we like your cards, not your weight", "We are not superficial fans, we love you no matter how fat you are", "Fatty, so cute" and so on.
There was a burst of laughter at the scene, and the fans were all laughing happily.
Before, Uncle Fat was "very unconfident" and gave everyone a heads-up on his personal homepage, saying "I hope you won't be too surprised when you see me in person", so the group leader of Uncle Fat's largest fan group specially organized many good sisters to come to the competition site to support Uncle Fat. She wanted to tell Uncle Fat that we will not stop being his fans, no matter how fat or ugly you are, our love for you will not change, because you are the most talented original poker player!
Seeing fans thoughtfully holding up all the posters to show their presence, the female commentator couldn't help but smile and said, "It seems that Uncle Fatty's fans don't mind his looks, so Uncle Fatty in the backstage should not be under any pressure now!"
When Xie Mingzhe heard this... he felt extremely stressed!
Because whenever he shows up, he slaps the fans in the face, and I feel really sorry.
In order to avoid the official commentary being unfair, the male commentator then introduced Uncle Fatty's opponent in detail: "The player Nine Lives Cat, whose real name is Li Jiu, has a strong affinity with the number nine. His current winning rate is 99%. He won all the preliminary and semi-final matches, and only lost one game in the round of 16. He is very strong."
The female commentator said, "He is a reserve player of the Judgment Club. He uses the most classic beast basic attack deck. He didn't make it to the end of last year's Grandmasters due to illness. Fortunately, the manager of Judgment found him and signed in for Judgment training for more than half a year. His level must have improved. So he has a chance of winning the match against Fatty today."
The male commentator immediately agreed: "That's right! Although Uncle Fatty is more popular, the outcome of this match is still unpredictable. Well, the match is about to begin. Next, let's invite the two contestants to the stage!"
Xie Mingzhe and Li Jiu walked towards the big stage from different aisles, with spotlights projected on them. The photographer also accurately captured their faces and magnified them on the live broadcast screen.
The Nine-Lived Cat has ordinary facial features and an ordinary temperament.
But the other person with the ID "Fat Uncle" is actually a tall and handsome... teenager?!
The clothes Xie Mingzhe wore today were very suitable for his age. He was only eighteen years old and there was no need for him to act older. He wore a pair of slim-fit dark blue jeans, which made his legs look straight and long. He wore white sneakers, which showed his youthful vitality. He wore a light grey high-necked cashmere sweater on his upper body. It was the same sweater as Tang Muzhou's that he bought in the mall before. It was very suitable for winter.
He has neat short hair, revealing his smooth forehead. After being magnified several times by the camera, his facial features are still 360 degrees handsome without any dead angle. He has a high nose bridge, big and bright eyes, slightly thin lips slightly raised, and a sunny and brilliant smile on his face. This image and temperament make him look like a campus idol!
Audience: “……………………”
Are you kidding me?! How could you be a fat uncle? ?
The scene suddenly fell into an eerie silence.
The fans of Fat Uncle who were originally preparing to pick up the poster and scream loudly fell silent, with their voices stuck in their throats.
The two commentators who had no prior knowledge of the situation looked at each other and were both very embarrassed, especially the male commentator. He had originally prepared a line of "Welcome, senior fat uncle", but when he saw a very young and handsome guy coming out, he swallowed his words back into his stomach and almost bit his tongue.
The female commentator had a complicated look on her face. She had already prepared herself for the fat uncle to be very fat and ugly, but suddenly a young and handsome guy with a high appearance value showed up. Instead, she felt a little confused and didn't know how to introduce the fat uncle.
——Where is the "inspirational uncle who makes a living by his talent"? Why does he have to have such a face!
Fans all felt they were deceived by him.
The girl holding the "Q version Fat Uncle" model balloon she drew by herself hesitated for a moment, put the balloon down awkwardly, clenched her teeth and held the Fat Uncle balloon in her hand, wavering between continuing to fan the Fat Uncle and turning from fan to hater.
A group of fat students in the front row held up a huge poster that read "No matter how fat you are, we love you." Their faces turned red and white, and they felt as if their faces were burning and painful, as if they had been slapped. One of the boys tore up the banner in anger, cursing in a low voice: "Oh my god, where is the fat guy? We thought he was very friendly even though he was fat, but he turned out to be a tall and handsome guy!"
Fans of Zhen Pang said that the mind suffered 10,000 points of critical damage.
There was no large-scale cheering at the game, but fans were putting up posters in a dejected manner.
The director's camera happened to be focused on the audience seats, so the onlookers who did not go to the scene but watched the game in the live broadcast room on the Internet also saw the spectacular scene of Uncle Pang's fans removing posters on a large scale.
This is such a slap in the face, the fans are totally embarrassed!
Fans who didn’t go to the scene started to post comments and complain: “He’s the Fat Uncle? He couldn’t have walked into the wrong set!” “This tall, skinny handsome guy is the Fat Uncle? This is definitely the funniest joke of the year!” “Fans, give me back my friendly Fat Uncle!” “Fans consoled him for a long time and I thought he was so ugly, but he turned out to be so handsome! I don’t need to explain why I turned from a fan to a hater~~” “Too handsome, I can’t afford to be a fan, add me to the list of fans who turned from fans to haters~~”
A large number of fans turned against him because he was too handsome. This is the first time in history.
But in reality, the fans are just complaining, not really hating him. After all, Xie Mingzhe is so handsome. They say they are hating him, but they are honest in their hearts! Especially some girls, who would be willing to hate such a campus idol?
Xie Mingzhe knew that he would be scolded as soon as he showed his face, so he tried his best to maintain a polite and friendly smile, hoping to win the audience's favor with his smile.
As a result, his smile made his fans even angrier - what a joke! We made a bunch of posters to support Pang Pang. We have been calling you "Fat Uncle Senior" for so long, you should cut this handsome boy into pieces to vent your anger!
In the professional alliance group, Ye Zhu, who was watching the live broadcast, couldn't help but jump out -
Ye Zhu: "Fuck! He is the Fatty Uncle? You must be kidding!"
Ye Zhu: "I am simply blind!"
Shan Lan: "I didn't expect that Fatty Uncle is not fat at all, nor is he an uncle. He is even more handsome than I thought..."
Pei Jingshan: "He is so thin and young, but he is called Fatty Uncle. It seems that he named himself backwards?"
Gui Sirui: "He seems younger than me. I treat him as my senior..."
Zheng Feng: "I want Cao Chong to use a boat to weigh him, then lock him up in the boat and drive him out of the arena!"
Ye Zhu used to be "so dark that her skin was naturally pink", but now she has completely turned black: "This fat...thin and tall guy is so annoying! He fooled us around. I will beat him to death when we meet next time."
Gui Sirui said: "If you want to fight him, add me in."
Zheng Feng: "How can I be left out of this kind of fight?"
Pei Jingshan: "Which is the better way to fight? One-on-one or in a circle?"
Ye Zhu: “What’s the difference?”
Pei Jingshan said dialectically: "If we fight one-on-one, he will challenge all of us. If we surround him, we will all beat him together."
Ye Zhu said without hesitation: "Then surround and beat them!"
The group of the professional alliance began to discuss "100 ways for Fatty Uncle to die" and "how to deal with Fatty Uncle's body". Tang Muzhou watched the scene, chuckled and touched his nose, thinking: Want to beat him? You have to go through me first. The money for the dinner is ready. Let my junior brother go, can you come at me?
I estimate that in a few days, the group will start discussing a hundred ways for Tang Muzhou to die...
***
Xie Mingzhe, who had been torn into pieces by everyone's words several times, was still smiling at the camera on the court.
Li Jiu was the most shocking one. Others saw the fat uncle through the screen, but he saw him face to face! Observing closely, this guy is indeed tall and handsome, but why does his smile look so annoying?
Thinking of him as the fat uncle who made a lot of strange character cards, Li Jiu felt really complicated.
Xie Mingzhe, however, extended his hand politely and said, "Hello."
The handshake before the game was just to show the players' demeanor. The other party extended his hand, and Li Jiu couldn't just leave him there, so he had to stiffen his face and shook hands with him, saying in a very stiff tone: "Hello, Fatty..."
Xie Mingzhe smiled and said, "My name is Xie Mingzhe, you can just call me Xiao Xie. Good luck in the competition."
Li Jiu: "..."
Cheering for the opponent before the game, doesn't this seem like a good sign? !
Li Jiu returned to the swivel chair with a complicated look on his face. The two commentators who were looking at each other in bewilderment finally came to their senses and said, "Ahem, Fatty Uncle... um, his name is Xie Mingzhe. His image is quite different from the middle-aged fat uncle that everyone thinks of."
After a dozen seconds of mental struggle, the female commentator decided to continue being a fan - looks mean justice, who said this handsome guy is too good-looking, so she actively defended the fat uncle: "In fact, he has never said on any occasion that he is a middle-aged fat uncle, so it is not a deliberate lie, it's just that everyone has imagined that he is an uncle. It's normal for the names in the game to be inaccurate to reality."
Seeing that his colleagues had already started to whitewash the fat uncle, the male commentator could only agree tiredly: "Yes, I have a male friend whose ID in the game is Little Princess. It is actually very irrational to equate the ID with the person. Well, the game is about to start, let's pay attention to the game first!"
The barrage of comments in the live broadcast room went crazy until Xie Mingzhe's face disappeared from the screen and was replaced by the game scene. Only then did everyone stop complaining about the huge difference between his appearance and ID and start paying attention to the game.
