Chapter 127 Failure and Regret
Until the end of the game, the Qing army's main force stayed safely in Kezhen's star field and refused to come out.
The remaining crazy Long Yuan, Dolanston and Du'e were running around like headless flies.
No one expected this outcome.
Xu Lingqu went back to sleep and do his own thing on the first night of the competition. He was pulled over the next day and found the same thing.
In order to avoid being judged as playing passively, Jia Xianglan would occasionally ask people to take their teams to the Qingjun and Youfeng star fields to seek excitement. When they saw someone, they would fire a few rounds of particle cannon and run away. No one could do anything to them.
Xu Lingqu watched for ten minutes and then went back. She was certain that this situation would not change until the end.
And 47 hours after the start of the game, when it was about to end, the situation was still the same.
The Empire's audience was so frustrated watching this game that their mouths looked like they were filled with poison.
The world's most disgusting competition has taken place. Does the Empire really have a future? Three strong schools are being teased by the Qing army?
[I really feel like Gu Tingzhi has lost his mind. He dared to follow Dolanston to the Qingjun Star Region. It would be better for you to stay in your own star region with Du'e and watch the fun.]
Jia Xiangying isn't much better, okay? She gets all worked up when she sees her brother, using Dolanston as a thug for all the messes she's been dealing with at home. She treats everyone as if they're part of a Skynet family show. It's hilarious.
[Lim'i was practically invisible in this match. Never mind. Du'e mainly relies on Jinfang Taibai anyway, but Jinfang Taibai is so easily nerfed. Is there any use for him in this match?]
[This is so disgusting. I might as well go back and watch Guan Chuanjun bully the weak, and then watch Xu Lingqu bully Guan Chuanjun]
[This group is so strong, we have been looking forward to it for so long, you guys are just a bunch of idiots, there is nothing to say]
But there are also many people who defend them:
[Actually, if you look at the battle command later on, they did a really good job. Even though the three military academies were ambushed and fighting independently, they were almost able to turn the tide... Alas.]
I think everyone should look at them objectively. As long as we are human, we cannot be perfect. We should summarize and review the experience of this qualifying group stage, and try not to repeat this in the quarterfinals and semifinals.
If we could perform so strongly and at such a high level in every game, we wouldn't have been beaten by Chikmagalur for three years. Everyone, just keep calm.
…
Lieutenant Quan was unusually serious, summing up as the game drew to a close: "I believe the Empire's audience must be filled with regret and disappointment at this moment. After all, in this match, none of the three Imperial powerhouses we had high hopes for performed well. But I think everyone understands that no strong school will remain invincible forever. Failure will always occur at different stages of our lives. It is inevitable. We must learn to accept our own failures as well as the failures of others. Please don't deify them, seeing them as invincible, and then become indignant and want to destroy the statues because of their inevitable mistakes. Give us, the younger generation of girls and boys in the Empire, more time and opportunities to grow. And I think everyone needs to change their mindset this year. The Empire's powerhouses aren't just Longyuan and Dolanston anymore. Just because they lose doesn't mean the world will fall."
Teacher Chang also nodded. "No one is more heartbroken right now than the students of Longyuan, Du'e, and Dolanston. I'm personally relieved that in the final stage, the three schools of the Empire didn't turn on each other to compete for the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th places. Because if they continued to fight each other for no reason, Kezhen and Youfeng, who were in 5th and 6th places, would have directly risen. In the end, they finally experienced true unity."
Gu Tingzhi came out of the competition cocoon cabin, feeling numb all over. He had clearly realized his mistakes and was to blame for the ugly defeat.
Jia Xiangying punched the outer shell of the cocoon cabin hard, but soon realized that his emotions were beginning to fluctuate again. He fell into impulse and forced himself to calm down.
Limuyi and Jinfang Taibai looked at each other and smiled helplessly, but they both knew that there was endless bitterness hidden beneath the other's smile.
Du'e barely ranked fourth this time. The score was too low and it is a bit dangerous for them to enter the quarterfinals.
Skynet's screen was now broadcasting Jia Xianglan, who was in the Federation Arena on Planet A-3, in Federation Area A. He smiled and said to the camera, "Although Ke Zhen and You Feng still finished last, the Qing Army took first place. That's a victory for our Federation. This match was a success and worth celebrating."
Xu Lingqu sat in the VIP audience seats and took in everything.
"Sister, what do you think about the final result? They..." Xu Xizhen looked at Jia Xianglan and felt very angry. He wondered when he could confront this annoying guy.
"Gu Tingzhi has somewhat lost his command style, and he himself has realized that he should not blindly imitate any other game on the field. Every game is unique. Jia Xiangying's battle command is actually very good, but there are still big problems in communicating with other commanders, and he is easily angered. Limuyi needs to grow more, and he must have his own opinions." Xu Lingqu briefly summarized the problems of these three people in her eyes.
"Sure enough, being a commander is not an easy job." Jin shook his head. It was really brain-consuming to judge the battlefield situation based on fragmentary information in an ever-changing battlefield. Even the audience with a God's perspective looking at the overall situation still had to consider omissions. It was really difficult for them to not make any misjudgments in the entire game and be completely foolproof.
"So what's wrong with our commander's brain?" Jin felt his scalp tingling when he thought of Xu Lingqu's arrangements in the previous two games.
It’s no wonder that Gu Tingzhi kept thinking about her actions after watching her game.
Guan Chuanjun, who was sitting behind them, hadn't dared to talk to Xu Lingqu since last time. He was so embarrassed when he thought about what he had done before that he didn't know what to say to her. But after hearing this, he couldn't help but ask, "So, what do you think of my shortcomings?"
Xu Lingqu glanced at him and said, "Don't close the door."
Guan Chuanjun: "...Now I've welded the door shut! Besides this?"
"I didn't watch your group's competition, so I don't know about the new shortcomings." Xu Ling said.
"Oh, okay." Guan Chuanjun felt a little sad.
"The draw for the third qualifying match will be held tomorrow. You can make a wish to be drawn into the same group with us." Xu Xizhen turned around and said to Guan Chuanjun.
That’s right, the third game is coming soon. Thinking of his previous “bold words” to Xu Lingqu about not taking Moye lightly next time, Guan Chuanjun felt an inexplicable chill. Would he really be allowed to face Moye again in the next game?
