On the night when the individual competition ended, the news that Tang Muzhou won the championship for the third time quickly became a hot topic.
This was undoubtedly a night of revelry, especially for Tang Muzhou's fans. Seeing their idol set the unbreakable "Triple Crown" record, everyone was filled with pride and excitement. Messages kept coming in the fan groups, and countless fans flocked to the official website to leave messages and congratulate him. Diehard fans created a large number of pictures and videos of Tang Muzhou winning the championship, which flooded the entire Internet.
Even outsiders who are not familiar with the Star Card Professional League will see the news that Tang Muzhou won the championship.
At Fenghua Club, Sister Xue had arranged a celebration banquet in advance. Tang Muzhou was called away by Sister Xue after the game. He didn't even have time to have a good chat with his junior brother. He only heard Azhe say congratulations to him in the backstage and then they hurriedly parted.
Xie Mingzhe also went to dinner with the club members. The individual competition was completely over, and everyone could take a good time to summarize and relax. All clubs would definitely have a private dinner tonight.
Coincidentally, Fenghua and Nirvana had booked the same restaurant.
Hearing the familiar voices of Ah Zhe and Chen Xiao coming from next door, Tang Muzhou was delighted. He immediately went to Xue Linxiang's ear and said, "Sister Xue, is Nirvana's family next door? Why don't we have dinner together? I'll treat you tonight."
Xue Linxiang frowned: "Isn't this bad? How can the club have a private dinner together? It's not convenient for them to discuss tactics..."
Tang Muzhou smiled and said, "The game just ended. Let's not discuss cards and tactics tonight. Let's just have a meal. Nirvana has my mentor. I, as his disciple, just won the championship. It's only right that he treats me to a meal."
Xue Linxiang thought it made sense, so he agreed and turned around to invite all the people from Nirvana to come over.
After a quick farewell at the backstage, Xie Mingzhe felt a little disappointed. He had never expected to meet his senior brother while having a meal. He was extremely happy, but he did not want to show it too obviously. He followed his master into the next private room, looked at Tang Muzhou in surprise, and said with a smile, "Senior brother, what a coincidence!"
Facing his junior fellow apprentice's brilliant smile, Tang Muzhou really wanted to hug him and give him a big kiss.
Due to the presence of too many light bulbs, Tang Muzhou resisted the urge to kiss him and gently hugged his junior brother's shoulder: "We can meet each other even when we are having a meal. This is fate. Please sit down."
He deliberately reserved the seat next to him for Xie Mingzhe, and the others did not notice anything wrong and sat down in their seats.
The four main players of Fenghua, the four players of Nirvana, and Chen Qianlin sat at one table, and the other players of Fenghua Team 2 and the managers of Nirvana Guild sat at two tables. Xue Linxiang quickly arranged the seats properly. This sharp and efficient manager did his job without any mistakes.
Before the meal was served, Tang Muzhou took the initiative to pour the wine, raised his glass and said: "Let me toast to my master first. Without my master, I wouldn't be who I am today." There was another sentence he kept in his heart but didn't dare to say - without his master, he wouldn't have had a good junior brother like Xie Mingzhe.
Chen Qianlin was not only the mentor who led him into the Star Card Professional Alliance, but also the matchmaker who helped him get his beloved. However, Chen Qianlin currently did not know that the eldest disciple had abducted the younger disciple, and Tang Muzhou did not want to tell it out for the time being to irritate his master.
When Xie Mingzhe saw his senior brother toasting, he immediately understood what was going on and took the initiative to raise his glass and said, "Master, I'll toast you too."
Chen Qianlin: “???”
The two of them exchanged glances, obviously trying to get Chen Qianlin drunk.
Chen Xiao then raised his glass to join in the fun: "Brother, I toast to you too."
Chen Qianlin: “???”
There are three glasses of wine in front of you. Should you drink it or not?
Chen Qianlin was silent for two seconds, then calmly picked up a glass of water and said, "I can't drink much, so I'll use water instead of wine." Then, without waiting for the three to have any opinions, he drank the half glass of water in one gulp - he just happened to be thirsty.
Tang Muzhou didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Master, you are really..."
It is said that birds of a feather flock together. Chen Qianlin looks very upright, but his disciples are more wicked than each other. This "ancestor" of the wood element is by no means a simple white rabbit. Many people toast him with wine at the table, but he accepts them all without drinking a drop of alcohol.
Tang Muzhou gave up the idea of forcing his master to drink and drank his own wine happily: "I was able to win three championships in the individual competitions, thanks to the teachings of my master. I'll drink this cup."
Xie Mingzhe and Chen Xiao also drank it all in one gulp.
The three of them respected and were grateful to Chen Qianlin. Tang Muzhou was his apprentice; Chen Qianlin’s help was indispensable for Xie Mingzhe to master the skills of making cards so quickly; not to mention Chen Xiao, who was adopted by Chen Qianlin when he was young, and it was Chen Qianlin who gave him the greatest warmth in his childhood and youth.
Facing the three people's sincere eyes, Chen Qianlin raised his lips slightly, but his voice was calm and calm: "No need to thank me, I only do what I should do. How far you can go in the end depends on you."
"Well, I will keep Master's words in mind." Tang Muzhou put down his wine glass and said loudly, "I am the host today. No one should mention cards or competitions anymore. Let's just eat and drink to celebrate the successful conclusion of the individual competition!"
Applause broke out in the private room, and Xue Linxiang took the lead and said, "Let's toast to Muzhou and congratulate him on winning the Triple Crown!"
The new members of Fenghua Team 2 excitedly picked up their glasses, and the atmosphere of the dinner was lifted. Xie Mingzhe also took the initiative to clink glasses with his senior brother and said, "Congratulations, senior brother. I am proud of you."
Tang Muzhou looked at him with gentle eyes and said, "You also make me proud."
The two smiled at each other, and the moment their eyes met, Chen Xiao felt as if his mouth was filled with dog food again, so he had to look away with a headache.
It was already very late after they finished their midnight snack, so Tang Muzhou took the initiative to pay the bill and the two said goodbye at the door of the restaurant.
Looking at the handsome profile of the man under the warm yellow light, Xie Mingzhe originally had a lot to say to him, but when the words came to his lips, he finally said: "Brother, the team competition is fierce, I wish you good luck."
Tang Muzhou smiled and stretched out his arms. Xie Mingzhe immediately threw himself into his arms and was hugged tightly by him.
A man's deep voice came from above: "In the playoffs, I'm in Group A and you're in Group B. Only if we win the championship of each group can we meet in the finals. Do you understand how difficult this is?"
Xie Mingzhe nodded: "I understand. This is a nightmare-level dungeon, but it is also an ultimate challenge. I will do my best."
Tang Muzhou was silent for a moment, then he reached out and gently ruffled his junior brother's hair, saying, "I'm optimistic about you."
Xie Mingzhe imitated Tang Muzhou's tone and said, "I'm optimistic about you, too."
The two separated, and Xie Mingzhe waved goodbye to Tang Muzhou.
The young man smiled brilliantly under the street lights, his bright eyes seemed to be filled with stars. Tang Muzhou stood there and watched him tenderly as he turned and left. Although Xie Mingzhe was suspected of "bragging", the strange thing was that Tang Muzhou just believed that this optimistic and confident player in front of him could continue to surprise people and create miracles.
If Azhe can lead the newly formed "Nirvana" team to win the team championship in the first year of the competition, it will indeed be the biggest miracle in the history of the professional league.
***
After Xie Mingzhe returned to the club, he tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep at all.
I just boasted in front of my senior, vowing that I would accept the nightmare-level difficulty of the dungeon and go to the finals to meet my senior as the champion of Group B - this is easier said than done.
The teams in Group A that entered the playoffs are Fenghua, Liushuangcheng, Guiyu and Shadow. The Shadow team is average in strength, and it is not easy for Shao Mengchen to lead the entire team into the playoffs alone. They will definitely be eliminated in the first round. But Liushuangcheng and Guiyu are both tough opponents. If Fenghua wants to win the championship, it cannot afford any mistakes.
The competition in Group B is even more brutal. Xie Mingzhe will face sniping from three clubs: Dark Night City, Temple of the Gods and Judgment. Any mistake in any link may lead to elimination. If he wants to win the championship in Group B, his current deck has some chance of winning in the 20vs20 dark card mode. As for the endless mode, Xie Mingzhe has no idea.
Endless mode is a brand new team battle mode launched this season. It has a specified time, no limit on mental strength, and no limit on the number of cards. At that time, batches of cards will come on the field, and batches will die one after another, just like in a war. It depends on who kills more cards within the specified time.
In this mode, the club's card pool is the foundation, and deployment and operation are the key. If you want to win, there is no shortcut except to rely on the team's hard power.
Even though he has made a large number of fairy cards, other clubs will definitely make new cards. If Nirvana wants to beat other clubs in the endless mode, it must make some cards suitable for the endless mode based on the characteristics of these clubs.
Xie Mingzhe thought of the character card.
The first thing he made was character cards of famous works, and it was these character cards that made him famous.
In fact, there were still some materials that could be used to make cards. Xie Mingzhe was unable to sleep most of the night and inspiration came to him like a spring. He wrote down all the materials he could think of and immediately designed according to his notes after waking up the next day.
He made wood, metal, and fire sets for Wei, Shu, and Wu, but he only made one Hua Tuo for the heroes who did not belong to these three factions. He did not make any of the famous Diao Chan, Lu Bu, Dong Zhuo, Cai Wenji, the famous talented woman, Liu Xie, the Emperor Xian of Han, Zhang Jue who started the Yellow Turban Rebellion, etc. He even kept Sun Quan, the king of Wu, and Liu Chan, the last king of Shu, and did not use them.
These character materials can now finally be picked up as the final wave of card replenishment for Nirvana.
Among these cards, except for Lu Bu, Diao Chan, and Dong Zhuo, most of the other characters will be designed according to the idea of "scattered cards", with skills biased towards large-scale group battles, focusing on endless mode.
Xie Mingzhe sorted out all the cards he wanted to make, and then fell into a deep sleep.
