Chapter Twenty-Seven
Just as Liu Shaoyou said, migrating Xue Duanqiao's account data to a new account card was merely for her own self-satisfaction. Zhou Qiao did not need a sharpshooter whose data in all aspects (including account level) remained at the level of six years ago.
but……
Zhou Qiao tossed and turned on the bed, clutching a pillow: "Aaaaaah, who told her about the Snow Broken Bridge?!"
She suddenly jumped up, threw the cushion onto the bed, and crawled in the shadows to Yan Yu, who was sitting by the window reading a book: "Is it you? Is it you? Is it you? Is it you?!"
Yan Yu said in a flat tone: "I'm also very curious about what the Snow Broken Bridge is... Rather, it's more accurate to say that you and Liu Shaoyou have a secret that I don't know about, which makes me feel complicated."
Zhou Qiao, who almost crashed the boat (not really), barely managed to appease Yan Yu. Then he heard that the Yi Zhan team, on Liu Shaoyou's advice, had extended an olive branch to Sun Zheping. Sun Zheping was initially indifferent, but after Liu Shaoyou talked to him about something, the final result was that Sun Zheping left Happy and joined Yi Zhan.
After hearing about this, Zhou Qiao was furious for five minutes, but she knew in her heart that the difference between Yi Zhan and Happy was that Yi Zhan could guarantee Sun Zheping a stable appearance in the singles competition, while Happy, even with Su Mucheng who would definitely join Happy, Ye Xiu could not promise to give Sun Zheping more opportunities to play.
"By the way, why is it Yizhan? I thought you would rebuild the Twin Flowers in Tyranny."
“That would be too unfair to Baihua.” Liu Shaoyou pressed his finger against his chin. “But the most important thing is that Baihua is unwilling to sell me the mess of fallen flowers.”
"You're the one who's unfriendly to all flowers."
The first playoff match, Tyranny vs. Hundred Blossoms, was held at Hundred Blossoms' home stadium. After learning that Zhang Jiale had been attacked by security guards at the Hundred Blossoms stadium, Liu Shaoyou felt that it wasn't impossible to talk about the mess at the stadium again.
Hearing Liu Shaoyou's phone call, Lin Jingyan broke out in a cold sweat: "Stop your nonsense, Mr. Liu! What are you planning to do by buying Luohua Langji?"
"Does one need a reason to make someone happy?" Liu Shaoyou said matter-of-factly. "Besides, my promise is always valid, and Tang San Da isn't expensive."
Lin Jingyan: "..."
When Lin Jingyan first joined Tyranny and used the name Leng Anlei for daily training, Liu Shaoyou did the same thing. After standing behind him for a minute, she suggested that they could buy Tang San Da back. She felt she was more used to seeing Lin Jingyan use the name Tang San Da. Lin Jingyan thought he didn't really understand domineering CEOs. A year later, he thought he understood Liu Shaoyou's personality, but he realized he truly didn't understand domineering CEOs.
Finally, he suggested, "Instead of focusing on the mess left by the fallen flowers, why not look at other teams?"
Liu Shaoyou blinked: "You mean Excellent Era?"
The pace of the playoffs was much faster than the regular season. When Team Happy secured their first endorsement fee, the playoffs had already entered the final four stage. The first match was between Team Tyranny and Team Tiny Herb, and Team Happy gathered together to watch the live stream after a long time.
"This sharpshooter from Tyranny is quite interesting," Ye Xiu said, glancing at Zhou Qiao.
Zhou Qiao exploded: "What do you mean?!"
Ye Xiu was unaware of Liu Shaoyou's background and couldn't understand Zhou Qiao's overreaction, so he attributed it to teenage rebellion: "Your playing style is steady, yet you smoothly overcome the rookie wall. Xiao Xiao, could you do that if it were you?"
Zhou Qiao remained silent for a while before replying, "I understand."
Now that he has decided to return to the league, he can no longer approach the game with this half-hearted attitude. Being unpredictable is never a compliment for a professional player.

[Team Channel]
[The Undying Marquis] joins the team.
Jun Moxiao: Don't speak yet.
Jun Moxiao: Let's communicate via messages first.
Marquis of Nevernight: 1
Muyu Chengfeng: There are two paths, which one should you take?
Jun Moxiao: Whatever.
The Undying Marquis: Little Yezi, are you there? Let her choose one.
Jun Moxiao: Not here.
Ye Xiu casually chose the left side, but unfortunately encountered system targeting and was chased by a giant rock. After turning to the right, he ran into the Tyranny team, who were also being chased by a giant rock.
"How can this system be just as shameless as you!" Zhang Jiale shouted when he saw Lord Grim being chased over by the boulder.
Ye Xiu ignored Zhang Jiale's trash talk and rushed into the recessed area on one side of the passage. Hundred Blossoms Dazzling followed closely behind Lord Grim, and soon the ten of them filled the space in the crowded elevator, which was comparable to the morning rush hour in an office building. Only then did Ye Xiu slowly speak: "You ran pretty fast, the second one to get in. Speaking of which, what's your ranking on the list again? Did you get the teleportation scroll too?"
As it turns out, Ye Xiu is also a textbook example of trash talk in Glory.
Hearing the argument, Xiao Yifei couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Xiaoxiao, your friends are quite interesting."
Zhou Qiao had just returned to the private room with the milk tea bag when she heard Xiao Yifei's comment. Her first reaction was to look at the computer screen and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that he hadn't turned on his microphone. Only then did she see the name "Baihua Liaoluan".
"How did you guys run into Tyranny?"
Xiao Yifei briefly explained the "dilemma" choice given by the system. After hearing this, Zhou Qiao expressed the same sentiment as Zhang Jiale, which made Xiao Yifei laugh non-stop.
She had no idea what Xiao Yifei found funny. After seeing Bu Yehou climb over the boulder, she tried to snatch the keyboard back, but Xiao Yifei remained seated, giving a perfectly valid reason: "This computer was logged in with my ID card, so of course I should play it."
Zhou Qiao: "? Listen to what you're saying, are you even speaking human language? I'm going downstairs to turn on a computer right now, do you think I'll ever come back to you?"
Xiao Yifei: "Then you can watch me play, and while you're at it, find a high-rated specialty restaurant in H City."
"Do we even need to look for it? How about I take you to Lou Wai Lou to eat West Lake Fish in Vinegar Sauce?"
"Is this something I should say to my own brother?"
As they spoke, Xiao Yifei controlled the Nightless Marquis to fire several shots in quick succession. The sharpshooter didn't have many fire-based attacks, and the cramped tomb wasn't suitable for using ammunition skills. Seeing the team advance into battle, Zhou Qiao didn't give up and tried to reclaim her seat. She pulled out the chair next to her, opened the Dianping (a Chinese review platform), and started angrily scrolling through the comments, determined to give Xiao Yifei a meal even more terrifying than West Lake Fish in Vinegar Sauce.
Ta-da-da, ta-da-da.
Zhou Qiao's attention was gradually drawn to Xiao Yifei.
The BOSS triggered in the tomb chamber had already turned into mission fragments after a scream. Before Happy could recover from the battle, they immediately entered into a battle with Howling.
Xiao Yifei manipulated Nightless Marquis to dodge Tang San's attacks with ease, keeping him within Happy's attack range while his fingers tapped a series of pleasant sounds on the keyboard.
Zhou Qiao looked thoughtfully at Tang San, who was being completely overwhelmed.
"Speed up!" Ye Xiu shouted, and Xiao Yifei obeyed, increasing his speed. Zhou Qiao knew that the key bindings for Nightless Marquis and Wan Gan Marquis were different, but Xiao Yifei was clearly not bothered by this, maintaining a smooth rhythm. Under the combined attack of several people, Tang San was truly killed on the spot, without any power to fight back.
But Ye Xiu wasn't happy at all: "The fragment isn't on him? Let's retreat!"
After Happy quickly fled and rested, Ye Xiu praised them in the channel.
Jun Moxiao: Xiaoxiao performed very steadily today.
Zhou Qiao: "Tsk."
Although she was annoyed that the gap between Xiao Yifei and herself was so obvious, Zhou Qiao wasn't so vain as to deceive her teammates, so she told the truth directly.
Nevernight Marquis: Now the account is being used by a proxy.
Ye Xiu raised an eyebrow.
Jun Moxiao: Are you the international friend that Xiaoxiao mentioned?
Xiao Yifei: "What do you mean by 'international friend'?! Xiaoxiao, how could you talk about me like that with your teammates?!"
Zhou Qiao: "I told you you're my brother, okay!"
As for the fact that Ye Xiu misunderstood her as being related to Zhou Zekai... Zhou Qiao still felt a chill when she thought about it.
Never-Night Marquis: Yes, I am A, an international friend who came to H City for tourism during the summer vacation.
Ye Xiu expressed his incomprehension at Zhou Qiao's behavior of bringing international friends on two separate trips to Glory: "Aren't young people these days too addicted to the internet?"
Without much thought, he realized that the battle pace in the Hundred Ghosts' Nest was much more intense than the usual boss-grabbing in online games. Soon, the five teams that entered the Hundred Ghosts' Nest encountered each other, and Howling was caught in a pincer movement by Imperial Wind and Misty Rain, melting away like cheese.
Huangfeng then engaged in a fierce battle with Yanyu. Before Happy could even stalk the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind, Tyranny appeared in Happy's path. Fortunately, Tyranny seemed to be out of luck, not yet understanding the mechanics of the Hundred Ghosts Nest. Ye Xiu quickly displayed his composure and used the information gap to form a temporary alliance with Tyranny.
After the melee began, Ye Xiu gave a reminder in the team channel.
Jun Moxiao: Pay attention to Gentle Angel and Wind City Misty Rain.
Jun Moxiao: Can I have international friends or classmates?
Nightless Marquis: No problem, I'll follow the instructions of the Glory Textbook.
Xiao Yifei's "no problem" was even more "no problem" than Ye Xiu had imagined. After Fengcheng Yanyu was thrown into the encirclement by Happy, facing the counterattack of three sharpshooters and one ninja from the Yanyu team, Bu Yehou successfully achieved a one-against-four feat using the Star Tactics. The three sharpshooters were powerless against Bu Yehou. Seeing Fengcheng Yanyu being killed, the four immediately retreated. Xiao Yifei chased after them without waiting for Ye Xiu's call, constantly harassing Lin Ancao Jing.
Without any treatment, and seeing that they couldn't get rid of the Nightless Marquis, the four of them simply stopped their counterattack. Then, Lin Ancao was shocked to be hit in the head by a Barrett sniper rifle.
Then Han Yanrou and Haolong Pojun followed, rushing into the misty rain formation and biting three sharpshooters.
Xiao Yifei couldn't help but exclaim, "Are they fighting this fiercely?"
Zhou Qiao: "How dare you say others fought fiercely?"
With the five fragments quickly in hand, Ye Xiu made a decision to split his forces into two groups: Destroyer, Orange Breeze, and Soft Smoke would go to take down the Ghost King first, while he and Nightless Marquis would stay behind to hold off Tyranny.
Nevernight Marquis: 2v5 with a healer, is he that powerful?
Jun Moxiao: I believe in your abilities.
Xiao Yifei: "Xiaoxiao, were you going to play games?"
Zhou Qiao: "After all, this machine was registered with your ID card."
Xiao Yifei flexed his wrists: "Okay, but I feel like I'm at a bit of a loss."
Zhou Qiao: "How about I arrange a lakeside location for you at Lou Wai Lou?"
Xiao Yifei: "Is it convenient to just pour the West Lake Fish in Vinegar Sauce back into the lake? I've even seen this meme circulating on the Glory forum!"
