Qin You chose a strong jungler, and 213 also opted for a more aggressive team composition, a departure from their previous steady and methodical approach.
As the saying goes, "No destruction, no construction." Only new breakthroughs can open up new prospects, and the same applies to games.
The five people in the war room couldn't hear the discussion outside at all; they just wanted to fight.
Feifei also chose an offensive support. At the start, he helped the mid laner clear the wave, and then followed Qin You to farm in the enemy jungle. After successfully stealing the enemy's blue buff, Qin You returned to his own red buff area to farm, while Feifei and the mid laner went to defend their own blue buff.
Sure enough, after their own blue buff was destroyed, the enemy jungler sent their mid laner and support to help, heading to the enemy's blue buff area.
In the same blue buff area, Lao Wang from the top lane came to help immediately, but the enemy marksman was still clearing the minion wave and did not come to support immediately, which immediately turned into a 3v3 match.
"Lu Wei, try to take the blue buff. If you can't, don't let them have it. I'm going to take the dragon," Qin You said.
"I'm frozen! Ah!"
"—First Blood!"
"Well done!"
"Retreat, everyone go back to the lane and clear the minion wave."
At the same time, Qin You captured the dragon, raising his entire team to level four.
This start was very smooth, with the advantages of strong classes being brought out immediately.
The pace of the game was quite fast afterward. Clearly, they didn't intend to waste time and chose to end the game quickly. As a result, the economic gap between the two teams widened, and they even pushed onto the enemy's high ground tower before the late game.
The first game ended in a 2-1-3 victory.
This match was incredibly nerve-wracking for all viewers because the pace was so fast that there wasn't enough time to react before it was over. Of course, it was also very entertaining to watch.
In the second game, Ding Xingchen changed their plan and became more cautious, especially in their own jungle, with the support going to defend the jungle in advance. However, Er Yi San also changed their plan, no longer acting as recklessly as in the previous game, but instead clearing their own jungle step by step, and then... going to gank the enemy's bottom lane.
"—First Boold!"
Okay, another pretty smooth start.
...
In the second game, 213 capitalized on their early development advantage and quickly secured another victory.
[I feel like my brain isn't working properly. How could it be over so quickly...?]
[213 knows the opposing team is built for the late game, and they'll definitely lose if the game drags on, so they need to accelerate the pace in the early game.] [Does my cousin have Weibo? I'd like to follow him~]
[No, right...? He does have a cousin though.]
[←_←Are you talking about Cousin Xu from Zhou Geng?]
[←_← What? Old Xu is updating weekly now? I thought he only updated sporadically!]
[You'll hurt Lao Xu's feelings; he's already been trying very hard to update frequently! (No, he hasn't!)]
[So, Lao Xu came to Fengtang this time just to watch the game?]
[No, there's still an exhibition match, right? I just wonder which team Lao Xu will join. Hopefully, it won't be Wang Haichao!]
[This is going too far. Why drag others into this? This is Nan Zhou's problem, not Wang Haichao's other teammates. They are the victims. They finally made it into the competition, and now this happens.]
[I'm not happy about that. Wang Haichao and the others have known each other for many years, so they must know about Nan Zhou's private affairs. This time, he only deserves it!]
[Isn't it wrong to make baseless accusations? Do you really think people don't need to take responsibility for what they say online?]
[The eye roll was obvious; just look at Feng Tang's attitude, there's definitely something fishy going on.]
[Haha, now I know what it means to spread rumors with just a few words. You're so good at talking nonsense.]
[It's so dark, why are they still washing it? Is Nan Zhou's X acting up again?]
Seeing that the discussion was getting increasingly skewed, Feng Tang had no choice but to use his own resources to redirect public opinion back to the game itself.
When the real championship battle arrived, everyone's attention was focused on 213. On the official website of Fengtang, 213 had a 63% lead in the voting, making them the team with the highest chance of winning the championship.
And the result, of course, did not disappoint them. 213 won the championship of the first All-Star Tournament of "The Legend of the Thousand Demons" as expected.
While everyone was happy, the exhibition match that everyone had been looking forward to also arrived.
Exhibition matches, or entertainment matches, don't have such strict technical requirements; they're just for fun.
The slightly more special ones might be Xu Qian on the field, and his 'cousin' who just won the championship.
The match between the two brothers was full of highlights. Many viewers felt that their playing styles were very similar, whether it was rhythm, skills, or positioning. As a result, watching the two brothers was like watching the same person.
An interesting and highly watchable match gradually came to an end at six o'clock in the afternoon.
In the evening, Feng Tang hosted a banquet for all the contestants and guests who came to participate, which was a kind of big gathering.
Meanwhile, Feng Tang's Weibo account also updated with a group photo from the banquet. The champion team, 213, received a solo photo, while most of the others were group photos. There were at least twenty or thirty people in the photos, making it quite lively.
And so, the All-Star game came to an end.
That evening, Xu Qian and Yan Lang returned to Weicheng.
Before Xu Qian could even rest, Sheng Huai called him out again, inviting him to dinner.
"Weren't you filming? How come you have time to come out?" Xu Qian asked him curiously.
“Even when filming, I need to rest. I’m a human, not Iron Man.” Sheng Huai opened a can of beer and handed it to Xu Qian across from him.
"Looks like things aren't going well." Xu Qian understood the subtext in the other person's words; it seemed that either the production team or the script had a problem.
"Sigh, it's a long story..." Sheng Huai sighed, then continued, "It all comes down to money. The investment that was supposed to go through fell through again, and now I don't know when we can get back to filming."
"Is it that serious?" Xu Qian was quite surprised. In China, devices that are turned on usually don't stop unless something really serious happens and they have no choice but to stop.
"It's hard to say, let's not talk about it," Sheng Huai said, changing the subject as he drank his wine. "What about you? Why didn't I hear anything?"
"I'm planning to leave in a few days, maybe for half a month."
"Half a month? What's the rush?"
"Um... some personal matters I need to take care of,"
"Oh, okay." Sheng Huai wasn't an tactless person. Seeing that he didn't want to talk about it, he didn't press him. After all, everyone has secrets, and it's normal to not want to talk about certain topics.
After having a late-night snack, the two went to the club they had visited before to play billiards.
Because Sheng Huai was in a bad mood today, Xu Qian spent the whole night playing games with him, which was quite unusual for him.
To be honest, Sheng Huai's billiards skills are really not good, just... really bad.
After finishing the game of billiards, Xu Qian noticed it was almost 3 a.m., so he dropped the person off at home and then took a taxi back to his apartment.
The next day, Xu Qian received a message from Xiao Qing early in the morning, or more precisely, at six o'clock in the morning, that she had returned to Weicheng.
Xu Qian calculated the time and quickly called Yan Lang, asking him to drive over to pick someone up!
So, at 8:30 a.m., Xu Qian and his assistant Yan Lang waited in the airport parking lot.
After waiting for about half an hour, Xiaoqing appeared. She was dressed very fashionably today—she had gotten a perm at some point, and her cool demeanor had a bit of a "bad girl" vibe. She also had a pair of brown sunglasses perched on her nose.
In other words, she's the kind of villainous female supporting character that men find very attractive, but women... might not like. This is an adjective Xu Qian found online, learned from reading Weibo comments about the drama "The Palace".
Xu Qian looked at her carefully. If it weren't for the fact that she was in human form and the sign above her head indicated that she was a demon, he really wouldn't have recognized her.
Upon meeting, Xiaoqing put down her empty suitcase, smiled, and gave Xu Qian a big hug, even pressing her cheek against his.
Xu Qian's eyes twitched. He suppressed his inner 'Holy crap' and forced a smile—how did things turn out like this after just one trip back from Ulan!
"Hello, my surname is Ye." Xiaoqing turned to Yan Lang beside her, with an expression that said, 'I've heard him mention you many times.'
"Hello, Sister Ye. Nice to meet you. Just call me Xiao Yan." Yan Lang was only stunned for a moment before quickly getting used to it and hurriedly greeted her.
After a brief introduction, the three of them got into the car, with Xu Qian and Xiao Qing going to the back seats.
As soon as he got in the car, Xu Qian immediately sent Xiao Qing a string of question marks, and Xiao Qing replied with a string of question marks.
Xu Qian rubbed his brow bone. "Never mind, I'll talk about it when I get back."
Author's note: Taking a break tomorrow.
