11:30 am the next day.
Ye Zhu, who always stalks the card store, popped up in the alliance group again: "Let me show you the new card in Uncle Pang's store, Wu Song Fighting the Tiger, which is actually aimed at the entire beast deck! Nie Shen, are you okay?"
Zheng Feng: "So, are we wrongly accusing Lao Nie?"
Ling Jingtang was shocked: "It's really not you?"
Nie Yuandao stood up calmly and said, "Well, I've already said that I'm not familiar with Fatty Uncle."
Shan Lan followed up, "My master and Uncle Fatty are not very familiar with each other. Uncle Fatty first targeted my bird, and then my master's beast. How could he have anything to do with our judgment?"
Tang Muzhou, who knew the truth, smiled and said, "I guess Uncle Fatty must have investigated the mainstream decks in the arena, and then took advantage of the fact that the instant death skill had just been added to the database to quickly make a batch of instant death cards to sell. This is actually good news for everyone."
Ye Zhu said: "That's exactly what he said yesterday!"
Pei Jingshan said: "What Master Tang said makes sense. Since he is a freelance designer, he will not let a certain club suffer alone, so the cards he made are targeted at the entire league to show fairness." Pei Jingshan, who had just received four sets of instant death cards, had already asked the club's research department to start various on-field experiments.
The instant death card incident has come to an end. No one wants to delve further into whether there was any collusion between the two and Uncle Fatty.
As Mr. Pei said, since most decks are targeted, it doesn't count. What we should do now is to quickly familiarize ourselves with the newly added tactical cards and see how to integrate them into our own decks. At the same time, we should also consider how to crack the opponent's one-shot kill skills.
Everyone started to think about how to match the instant death cards, and the group fell silent for a moment.
Tang Muzhou quickly changed the subject: "It's almost 12 o'clock. I'll be waiting for you at the buffet restaurant on the top floor of the hotel. Everyone, be careful not to attract reporters."
Ye Zhu: "I am the most proactive when it comes to eating. Brother Pei and I are already in the hotel lobby and will be there soon!"
Shan Lan: "Master and I are still on the way and will be there soon."
Zheng Feng: "I just parked my car and saw Lao Ling's car in the garage. There are quite a lot of people here today?"
Ling Jingtang: "If someone invites you to dinner, it would be a waste if you don't come."
Zheng Feng: "Hey, don't be so direct!"
The group was chatting lively and noisy. Tang Muzhou was already waiting on the top floor. All the players from Fenghua Club were present. Xue Linxiang brought a few security guards to the hotel lobby. On the one hand, they were to receive the big names who came, and on the other hand, they were to keep an eye on the door to prevent paparazzi from getting in.
***
At the same time, Xie Mingzhe and several friends from the power-training studio also arrived at the Dihua Hotel.
The hotel was only one kilometer away from their studio, so everyone just walked over.
Xie Mingzhe has been busy making cards in the game these days and has hardly been out for activities. He breathes the fresh air outside and feels much happier.
The five of them walked and talked, and soon arrived at the entrance of the Imperial Hotel.
A long-haired girl in a light blue dress ran over as soon as she saw everyone: "Brother Chen, Fatty, Jin Yue, Sister! Long time no see!"
Pang Yu and Jin Yue were obviously very excited: "Yingying?" "Why are you here?"
Chi Qing said: "I asked Yingying last night, and she just happened to be back, so Xiao Xie asked me to call her over to get to know her."
This girl is Chi Yingying, who had taken leave to get married. It was because of her temporary absence that the studio was short of manpower to clear dungeons, so Brother Chen posted a recruitment notice to recruit a temporary employee, and Xie Mingzhe happened to run into her.
Xie Mingzhe took the initiative to step forward: "Hello Yingying, I am the new member of the studio, Xie Mingzhe."
Although Chi Yingying is Chi Qing's younger sister, the two sisters have completely different styles. Chi Qing is a very neat and cool girl, over 1.75 meters tall. Chi Yingying is petite, about 1.55 meters tall, with a cute smile on her face. I heard that she is 25 years old and already married, but just looking at her face, she looks like an 18-year-old girl.
Chi Yingying shook hands with Xie Mingzhe in a friendly manner: "Xiao Xie, right? My sister has already told me about your situation. You are really amazing! I am particularly curious about the cards you made. Can you show them to me later?"
Xie Mingzhe smiled and said, "Of course, no problem."
Chen Xiao asked: "Why did you come back so soon?"
Chi Yingying explained, "My husband only had two weeks of wedding leave. One week was used for the wedding, leaving only one week for the honeymoon. He is the chief resident this year, and there are a lot of things to do in the hospital, so it is difficult for him to leave."
Chen Xiao understood: "Oh, I'll ask Dr. Liu to fill you in later."
Chi Yingying smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. We have known each other for so many years. We can travel anytime we want."
Chi Qing said calmly, "Do you want to stand at the door and chat? Go in first."
A group of six people walked into the lobby. At this moment, a tall, capable woman with a bun came out of the elevator with several security guards. The woman wore large sunglasses that covered half of her face. She was wearing a professional suit skirt of an urban white-collar woman and black high heels. Her walking posture was powerful and awe-inspiring.
She walked past the crowd and came to the door. She stopped suddenly and turned around: "Wait."
The other person's voice was very clear and sounded familiar. Xie Mingzhe thought she was calling someone else and ignored it. But soon, the footsteps sounded behind him, like jogging. At this time, Chen Xiao, Chi Qing and others had already boarded the elevator and pressed the close button.
At the moment when the elevator was about to close, Xie Mingzhe saw the other person's face clearly through the crack in the door.
The woman's face was very beautiful after she took off her sunglasses. Her eyes were bright and lively, and she was staring at them, as if she knew someone in the crowd. Xie Mingzhe met her eyes, and was stunned for a moment. He wanted to press the button to open the door, but the elevator door was completely closed.
The super fast elevator rose to the sky in the blink of an eye. Xie Mingzhe scratched his head in confusion and said, "Did that woman just now have something to say to us? It seems like she is chasing us."
Pang Yu laughed and said, "No way? Does any of you know her?"
Jin Yue: “I don’t know him.”
Xie Mingzhe looked at Chen Xiao and found that he was looking out the window with his back turned. Xie Mingzhe asked, "Do you know Brother Chen?"
Chen Xiao said calmly: "I don't know him."
Xie Mingzhe didn't think much about it and thought it was just a misunderstanding.
The six of them stopped at the top floor, walked out of the elevator, and just as they were about to move forward, they saw an announcement on the big screen: "The buffet restaurant on the top floor has been reserved today. Uninvited guests please do not come. If you want to dine, the specialty restaurant on the 16th floor welcomes you."
Xie Mingzhe was stunned: "Booking the whole place?"
Pang Yu complained in a low voice, somewhat unwillingly: "This is a well-known high-end restaurant in the area. Usually there aren't that many people here. What day is it today? The buffet restaurant on the top floor is so big, with hundreds of seats, and it's actually booked. Is this a meeting or a wedding?"
Jin Yue said helplessly: "It seems that we came at an unfortunate time."
The purpose of going out to eat is to have a good chat with everyone. Since the buffet restaurant happened to be reserved, there is no need to affect the mood because of such a small matter. Xie Mingzhe smiled and suggested: "Why don't we go to the specialty restaurant on the 16th floor? We are in the same hotel, so the taste should not be much different."
Chen Xiao nodded crisply: "Let's go."
Just as everyone was about to move forward, another elevator door suddenly opened. The woman in high heels caught up with them, trotting all the way. She came in front of Chen Xiao, took a deep breath to calm herself down, and then said, "Xiao Chen, is it really you?"
Chen Xiao frowned: "You got the wrong person."
At this time, another young man came over from the direction of the buffet. His hair was an eye-catching light golden color, and his eyes were as blue as the sky. He looked like a doll, but he was a little short, just reaching Xie Mingzhe's chest.
The young man ran up to the woman and said, "Sister Xue, my master asked me to tell you something. Nie Shen was accidentally caught up by reporters and is trying to get rid of the paparazzi. Most people will go in through the back door instead, so this elevator won't be used for now."
Xue Linxiang hummed, turned around and looked at Chen Xiao with a complicated look: "Xiao Tang is hosting a dinner today, don't you want to meet him?"
Chen Xiao's expression was very cold: "I don't know what you are talking about. You really have the wrong person."
He then turned and walked into the elevator. Xie Mingzhe and the people in the studio looked at each other and had no choice but to follow him.
Chen Xiao didn't dress up today. His hair was a little messy and hung down to cover his eyes. His dark circles were very obvious and he looked very decadent. He changed into a new outfit when he went out, but it was just clean.
Everyone in the elevator was silent, and the atmosphere was a bit strange. Xie Mingzhe wisely did not ask any more questions. But Xiaopang was a simple-minded person, and asked in confusion: "Brother Chen, this woman has been chasing you, who is she? Could she be your ex-girlfriend..."
Jin Yue poked him hard in the waist, and Xiaopang realized that he had said something he shouldn't have said, and he immediately shut up.
Fortunately, Chen Xiao was not angry. He looked surprisingly calm and said calmly, "I already said I didn't know him. Maybe I recognized the wrong person."
Xie Mingzhe; "..."
This explanation was very convincing. The woman had been chasing him all the way, and it didn't look like she had mistaken him for someone else. Something was obviously wrong, but Chen Xiao didn't want to say more, and it was inconvenient for everyone to continue asking questions.
Xie Mingzhe noticed that the young man just now called the woman "Sister Xue".
He finally remembered why this voice sounded familiar - when he was auctioning the Daiyu card at the auction, Fenghua Guild invited him to the auction, and Sister Xue and Tang Muzhou were present. Sister Xue wanted to buy the copyright of the Daiyu card from him and offered a high price of 10 million game coins, which was 1 million crystal coins.
The woman in the game was also wearing a professional suit and skirt, and her appearance was probably modified, so she looked a little different from the real person. But the voice of Sister Xue in the game was exactly the same as the woman just now!
Sure enough, it must be Xue Linxiang, the player agent of Fenghua Club? She mentioned that "Xiao Tang is treating us today", so is the "Xiao Tang" she mentioned Tang Muzhou, the professional player of Fenghua Club? Is the blond boy just now the legendary apprentice of Tang Muzhou, Shen An?
The top floor was booked out, probably because the alliance was having some kind of event.
Xie Mingzhe was extremely curious. How did Xue Linxiang know Chen Xiao? What was the relationship between Brother Chen and her?
