Chapter 217
--third.
When this ranking is placed in front of us, even the most yin-yang Oliang is no longer yin-yang.
Aoliang's eyes were clearer than ever before. He opened his eyes wide and looked at the floating screen displayed by Sorok again and again. Then, he opened his personal terminal player interface and refreshed his player screen back and forth.
Ye Li couldn't help but ask, "What are you doing?"
Oliang said, "I'm afraid there's a bug in the system."
So you need to refresh the page several times to see if there is any mistake in grabbing data from other schools and applying it on top of their heads.
Ulaina rolled her eyes. "You know this is the advanced league system for the upper three districts, right?"
The advanced league system in the upper three zones is the least likely system in the universe to misplace the scoring rankings.
If the system in their upper three districts can still make such mistakes, then the system's backend designers and system maintainers should resign on the spot, hold a three-day and three-night reflection meeting, and finally issue an "Apology Letter to All College Students in the Upper Three Districts", and choose to read the script live in each district during prime time in the evening using stereoscopic projection technology.
"I know," O'Brien said, continuing to refresh his page. "But I can't convince myself that this is all real without refreshing a few more times."
Ulaina and the others just followed him.
The more he refreshed his mind, the more the eyes of this senior, who was known for his "mastery of yin and yang", lit up.
"—We are really third!" O'Brien finally announced.
"Yes, yes." Jin Qing walked over with Jiang Yunu and Sorok to reunite with the school team. She had already tucked the few strands of sweat-soaked hair behind her ears. "Thank you for telling us this news that has been repeatedly confirmed."
Jin Qing joked with a smile.
—The Golden Urie varsity team did take third place in its opening match.
This realization made all the members of the school team feel relaxed and excited!
It's important to note that when Sorok mentioned their current "top four" status at the end of the "golden scoring period," that "top four" meant a perfectly standard fourth place, right in the middle of the eight teams. Saying "fourth" instead of "top four" sounds more encouraging, and even fourth place is already a uniquely good result for the Golden Urie team in recent years.
The Golden Urie school team has been at the bottom of the table for several years. Its other strengths may not be outstanding, but its overall mentality is stable and it is very good at protecting itself in fierce battles.
In other words, they are better at "hiding".
"I thought I'd just do my best to maintain my position and hold onto fourth place until the end," said senior Ye Li. "I actually considered the possibility of dropping one spot to fifth."
Senior Ye Li is an honest person.
Oliang: "But we actually moved one person forward!"
Jiang Yunu was smiling beside her. She used to be the "busiest person" on the battlefield, always moving around the field, but her observation skills covered a wide range.
She said, "Seniors, didn't you and Senior Jin Qing play a beautiful game together in the end and win the four flag points?"
Being able to score at the last minute in the center of the circle is also a feat in the history of the Golden Urie school team.
Olean recalled their final scoring moment as something of a dream.
Ye Li is still more down-to-earth and realistic.
Ye Li continued Jiang Yunu's words: "It's because you attracted the other party's attention."
In previous leagues, in a competition map like "Banner of the Stars", the only schools that could finally compete for the flag were the two stable Duma College and Diyao College, plus the top schools in the second and third regions.
No more than four schools will fight to the end in the core.
Many school teams ranked in the "lower circle" will even take the initiative to avoid the strong schools and not participate in the final core area battle, so as to avoid not only failing to score points for their own team, but also being beaten by other strong schools, and not getting any points and having their self-esteem and confidence frustrated.
But this year things are very different.
First of all, the Golden Urie school team no longer belongs to the "lower circle".
Secondly, they cannot avoid the strong schools.
There are strong schools chasing them and beating them up! !
Vanessa, a player from Duma Academy, seemed to have her own "Jiang Yunu tracking lock". In the later stages, she was completely obsessed and didn't care about the school team honors or the collective scores. This red-haired Duma female player was obsessed with Jiang Yunu and searched for Jiang Yunu's whereabouts throughout the field. She also searched for the whereabouts of other members of the Golden Uriel school team in order to locate Jiang Yunu himself.
In addition to Vanessa, what is even more horrifying is that during the melee, Sorok's hair even stood on end at one point. He sensed the approaching danger, but his speed and reaction ability were slower than the opponent and he was unable to avoid it.
A long black sword lay before him.
This long black sword is so iconic that even if Thorok only looks at the sword, he knows who is holding it.
——A third-year student at Duma Academy, Captain of Duma, Shen Yijing.
...Is he worthy of being singled out by an opponent of Shen Yijing's caliber? He actually already has such "honorable treatment"?
Sorok did nothing in those few seconds, as a thousand pieces of information ran through his mind like a racetrack.
His whole body was stiff, staring at the long sword in front of him and the pair of bony hands holding the sword.
"Where are your team members?" asked the owner of the hands and the long sword.
"..." Sorok came back to his senses in a second, his sense of responsibility exploding, "If you want to fight, just fight directly, Captain Shen, why are you looking for my team members?"
Shen Yijing didn’t say anything.
At this moment, Sorok felt a gust of wind blowing from behind.
The wind brushed past his back, then turned significantly and swept aside.
And Shen Yijing's gaze moved.
Shen Yijing was like a cat whose attention was diverted by the light of a laser pointer. His eyes rolled, and his handsome but expressionless face turned slightly to the side.
Jiang Yunu's voice floated over from behind Sorok: "Captain Shen, what a coincidence."
Shen Yijing pursed his lips.
Suoloke only felt his eyes blurred for a moment, and Shen Yijing disappeared from his sight.
——Captain Shen rushed directly towards the direction where Jiang Yunu’s voice came from!
Sorok: "..."
The good-natured captain didn't understand what was going on at all, but he changed his mind and thought: Oh no, it must be Jiang Yunu who stole points from the rear area of Duma Academy and severely offended Shen Yijing!
——But Jiang Yunu actually offended Captain Shen for more than just stealing points.
Chen Yijing chased Jiang Yunu, Vanessa focused on Jiang Yunu, and Diyao Academy, which had been "most cautious" against Shen Yijing, also focused on Jiang Yunu - they wanted to judge the probability of Chen Yijing appearing near her based on Jiang Yunu's active range.
Seeing their captain like this, the other members of Duma Academy occasionally showed concern for Jiang Yunu.
Shen Yijing did give some instructions midway through the match. He said, "Do your own thing and focus on scoring!"
The other members of the Duma team followed the order and tried their best to explore the marked flag at the last moment. However, it was not so easy to recover their distracted attention. Whenever they found the white-haired woman of Golden Uriel nearby, they could not help but report it in the team channel.
In a time-sensitive situation, a blink of an eye may cause someone to miss the opportunity right under their nose.
The Golden Urie school team gave it their all, with the spirit of "we're already the center of attention anyway, we might as well try to snatch some points", and actually got some points, successfully climbed the list, and finally won third place.
Jiang Yunu became famous in one battle and left a deep impression on many players.
——But this impression is not entirely positive.
Vanessa called out to the teams from various schools when they were about to be teleported out of the battle map. The red-haired Duma female team member didn't seem to be so "addicted" anymore, but the gritted teeth in her tone and the anger in her expression hadn't diminished at all.
"Just wait!" Vanessa said, "I'll definitely chase you in the next game and won't give you any chance to play any tricks again!"
Jiang Yunu responded: "Okay, I look forward to playing with me again in the next game."
Vanessa glared at her angrily, taking her words "want to play with me" as a slight, and did not respond at all. She shook her long red hair and turned away from her.
A little further away, the Duma school team had already formed up.
Shen Yijing's black long sword returned to his back. One of his hands hung naturally at his side, while the other hand was placed in the pocket of his uniform.
Until the teleportation beam transported everyone out of the map, the contestants from each school returned to the starting landing port, and then took a special car back to the central platform, he never took his hands out of his pockets.
"Captain." Leonard Hayes began hesitantly.
Although Duma Academy suffered a "theft" in this game, their final ranking was not affected much.
Chen Yijing led the team out early in the morning and had a conflict with Diyao Academy at the border of Diyao area. He was the first to grab the flag points in the center area and the border of Diyao. This score just covered the loss of points they suffered from being stolen.
They are also number one today.
——But this may be the rare first place that feels suffocated.
"I think next time we should just 'mop up' these weak teams," a member of the Duma Academy team said grimly. "We should give them a warning in advance so they don't dare to act rashly or even make any inappropriate moves."
Shen Yijing did not sit in the spacious and comfortable armchair. The Duma school team's special car was like a small ship, with a spacious interior that allowed him to stand by the porthole and look at the sky outside.
“Who are you calling the weak team?” Shen Yijing asked calmly.
He turned away from the porthole.
"Are you saying that a team that can single-handedly cross the center of the circle, create a diameter across the entire Star Banner map, penetrate deep into our rear to gain points, and even return safely after being intercepted is a weak team?"
Shen Yijing's voice was very calm. He spoke for a long time, his eyes fixed on the team member who spoke gloomily.
His gaze seemed to carry a certain weight, pressing down on the players' throats.
"Let me ask another question," Shen Yijing said, "Is there anyone among you who can traverse the entire map and easily go back and forth in less than two hours without alerting any other teams?"
There was a moment of silence in the small cabin of the Duma School.
"...How come the Golden Poor have such a newcomer?" someone murmured.
——This is also the common question of all other teams.
Where did the Golden Uriel school team find such a person?
