Chapter 996: Gathering intelligence
Translator: 549690339
11th month, 13th day, morning.
“Yo, you’re up.” When Feng bujue returned from his morning run, RUO Yu was tidying up the living room.
Not long after RUO Yu moved in, the two of them had agreed to take turns doing the household ch.o.r.es. However, a promise was still a promise. In fact, RUO Yu had done more things. After all, girls liked to be clean. Many times, she could not stand it anymore and would clean up.
“I’ve been up for a while. ” After hearing brother Jue’s words, RUO Yu continued what she was doing and replied without even looking up,”I was waiting for you to bring breakfast back.”
“Haha …” Feng bujue chuckled.”We’re having soup dumplings today, so be careful.”
!!
Naturally, there was a reason why he was smiling so slyly. Everyone had one or two things that they were not good at. For example, brother Jue was not good at tying knots, and Xiao Tan was not good at lying. As for RUO Yu … She did not really know how to use chopsticks.
Of course,”not very good” did not mean that she could not pick up food. It was just that … Since RUO Yu did not learn the correct way to hold chopsticks when she was young, her skills with chopsticks were slightly worse than ordinary people ‘s. It was fine to use it normally, but … She often made a fool of herself when she encountered food like tofu, fish b.a.l.l.s, and other slippery or easily scattered foods, or things like soup dumplings with thin skin and soup inside.
Actually … This wasn’t a big problem. In a sense, it was still a little cute. However, when you showed a weakness to a (B * tch) person like Feng bujue, there would be plenty of malicious ridicule and teasing.
Who is our brother Jue? If there was a compet.i.tion in the world where people used chopsticks to grab food, he would at least be in the world’s top ten. During his school days, as long as he wanted to, he could make his cla.s.smates who shared a table with him not get a single bite of meat. There were even people who used their hands to fight with him, but in the end, he s.n.a.t.c.hed a chicken leg with chopsticks … With such a sense of superiority, how could he not repeatedly ridicule this matter?
“Be careful of what?” RUO Yu immediately glared at brother Jue.”It’s just a soup dumpling … At most, I’ll just break it and let the juice flow out.”
“That’s such a pity. Isn’t the soup dumpling just a mouthful of meat soup?” Feng bujue revealed an evil smile.”How about … I feed …”
“You’re thinking too much,” RUO Yu interrupted him before he could finish his sentence.”I’ve never let anyone feed me since I could remember.”
“So you’re already 22 years old and you still don’t know how to use chopsticks?” Brother Jue replied.
“A 24-year-old man who can’t even tie his shoelaces properly has the right to criticize me?” RUO Yu’s ability to mock had improved, and she was not at a disadvantage when she ridiculed brother Jue.
“Hehehe …” Feng bujue’s smile became even more creepy.”I don’t mind you tying it for me.”
“I see …” RUO Yu snorted.”Hmph … How about we make a bet?”
“Oh? What kind of bet?” Brother Jue’s interest was piqued.
“In a week, I’ll practice using chopsticks, and you’ll practice making knots.” RUO Yu continued,”one week later, I promise that I can pick up anything that you can pick up safely, but you must also make sure that you can tie the knots that I can.”
“This …” At this moment, Feng bujue … Was really a little scared.
“Are you afraid?” RUO Yu asked.
“Ha!” Brother Jue chuckled drily.”I almost forgot how to write the word ‘fear."” He forced himself to look confident.”Let’s make a bet. What do you think … The bet is?” As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately said,”Oh, let me make this clear first. I have to consider if you want me to have s.e.x with you. I’m an upright person.”
Before RUO Yu could say anything, Arthas, who was lying on the sofa, said,””Meow, I’ve heard and seen a lot of shameless words and deeds in h.e.l.l, but within the scope of my knowledge … You’re the only one who can perfectly mix shamelessness and shamelessness together, meow.”
RUO Yu heard this and looked at Arthas expressionlessly,”I say … No matter what, he’s still my boyfriend. If you make him sound so bad, wouldn’t it make me seem like I have bad taste?”
“No… This isn’t a matter of good taste, meow.” Arthas replied,”if it’s just based on the face, then it’s fine … But you still chose to date Feng bujue even after understanding his personality. I can only say that you are a weirdo.” She paused and scratched the back of her neck with her claws.”Speaking of which … You are indeed a weirdo, meow.”
“Hmm …” Hearing this, RUO Yu pondered for a moment.”Then … The bet is …”
“Hey!” Brother Jue could not help but shout,”you’ve suddenly changed the subject!”
“This bet … If I win, unless I’m in a good mood and want to interfere … From now on, you’ll be in charge of all the household ch.o.r.es,” RUO Yu continued, ignoring him.
“What does ‘from now on’ mean?” “If we get married in the future,” Feng bujue replied,”wouldn’t that mean that I’ll have decades of labor in advance?”
“If you don’t dare to bet, just say it.” RUO Yu continued.
“Tsk …” Feng bujue raised an eyebrow.”Then … What if you lose?”
“From now on, I’ll tie your shoelaces.” RUO Yu replied.
“Good! You said it. ” Feng bujue raised his voice.
“Yes, I did.” RUO Yu replied calmly.
After a pause, the two of them said in unison,””It’s a deal!”
“Sigh …” Arthas sighed and shook his head.”They are two strange people. Meow~”
…………
Several hours later, at ten in the morning, Feng bujue’s log-in lobby appeared.
“Hmph … Only a ghost would believe that he’s going to organize his stuff in the log-in lobby …” Brother Jue started to complain the moment he entered the elevator.”He’s actually trying to learn how to use chopsticks in the game world … He must be searching for related videos on the touch screen right now!”
As he mumbled, he shamelessly opened a certain search engine page with his touch screen and typed “how to tie a knot”.
In the next hour, he used unprecedented concentration and enthusiasm … To study the technique of tying knots. Even though he had told RUO Yu that he was online to collect information about the compet.i.tion, they were actually doing the same thing …
Before he knew it, an hour (game time) had pa.s.sed. After watching a large number of pictures and videos, Feng bujue closed all the websites. He took two steps back, opened his arms, and howled into the sky in the action that the main character in The Shawshank Redemption did when he regained his freedom. “It’s so difficult, Yingluo. ”
It was still the same saying … Everyone had one or two things that they were not good at.
To make a long story short, after doing all those annoying things, brother Jue finally opened dream Inc.’S official website and forum to look at the information about the compet.i.tion.
At this time, the list of the top 8 for S2 had already been released. The names of the eight teams were placed in the most prominent position on the official website’s home page.
The eight teams were order, G.o.ds, world, red Sakura, Warring States, h.e.l.l frontline, waste Alliance, and mountain river.
As there were no two teams from the same studio that entered the top eight together, and neither were there any “two teams” that entered the top eight, the name list directly omitted those teams that had the word “first” in their names.
Overall … Of these eight teams, six of them were professional teams with Studios as their background, and the other two were teams formed by individual players.
This result was far beyond the predictions of the audience and various intelligence a.n.a.lysis teams …
In team compet.i.tions, professional teams had a huge advantage. Professional teams had access to the resources of the entire studio. Whether it was player coordination, item mobilization, pre-match intelligence … They were much, much better than those “wild” players.
A team like trash Alliance, which was made up of four individual professional players, could not be considered a “professional” team. The so-called “professional team” was not just about finding a few professional players to form a team. Apart from the contestants, there were also a large number of people who were contributing to this team’s victory … However, these people’s work was carried out outside of the compet.i.tion, and the general audience often ignored their existence.
However, in this year’s s2 Champions.h.i.+p, in a team compet.i.tion where there was almost no luck involved … There were still two non-studio teams that made it into the top eight. This result once again made the leaders of the gaming studios realize that they could not view Thriller Paradise the same way they would view other online games.
After Feng bujue saw the name list, he narrowed his eyes and mumbled,”I can’t see any team that is easy to deal with …”
What he said was true. In fact, he was not surprised when he saw the list. When he saw the top 16 teams, he had already predicted which eight teams would advance next. The problem now was … How would the eight teams be matched up?
“Just one more win … And we’ll be in the finals.” As brother Jue browsed through the website, he read,”the finals will have four teams competing against each other, so there will be a lot of variables. Normally speaking … The more variables there are, the weaker team will have more chances.” His gaze s.h.i.+fted slightly and stopped on the two words “order”.”It seems that the finals use such a mechanism to take care of teams other than order …” He paused.”Not only can we avoid one round, but it also increases the chances of winning against the strongest team on the surface.”
With that thought in mind, Feng bujue scanned through every piece of information on the main page of the website. Basically, they were all news that could be read just by looking at the t.i.tle. Therefore, he quickly opened the game forum to see what he could gain from it.
“Tsk~” as soon as he opened the main page of the compet.i.tion Discussion forum, brother Jue was attracted by a ‘today’s hot post’ that was at the top.
The t.i.tle of the post was [a.n.a.lysis of all possible matchups in the semi-finals].
“Ha …” Feng bujue clicked on the post and laughed.”That’s why coming to the forum is so helpful. This post has listed all the things that I need to do mental arithmetic on, so it saves me a lot of trouble … This way, I can easily store the list in my head through graphic memory.”
After that, Feng bujue completely ignored the part about the prediction of the outcome and quickly memorized all the possible matches that the other party had listed (including the 28 single-player combinations and the 105 complete battle lists). He did a double check, and after making sure that there were no mistakes, he closed the thread.
Then, he opened the various discussion forums one by one, filtered the information at an extremely fast speed, and flipped through the posts page by page.
Given the popularity of the tournament, one could imagine the number of posts on the forum. Even though it was a working day’s morning, and the forum had all kinds of garbage filtering mechanisms, the number of posts in each discussion section was still increasing at a rate of at least one per minute.
“Oh? Suddenly, brother Jue’s eyes stopped on a very eye-catching post with the t.i.tle [ 818 loser Alliance’s past and present life].
To be honest, the team that Feng bujue did not want to meet the most at this stage was waste Guild because of the seven teams that might become his opponents, brother Jue had the least information on this team.
Of course … Ambitionist’s plan was part of it. The wise general was indeed a wise general. He had adopted a similar strategy to h.e.l.l’s frontline in the preliminaries and even turned on the privacy Protection option. In addition, the members of their team also had amazing strength. Many times, they achieved victory before the enemy could figure out the situation. This made their game videos and the information revealed in the videos very limited.
For a man like Feng bujue who’ had already calculated more than seventy percent of the deciding factor before the battle ‘, the lack of information was not a good thing. Especially when he knew how strong the enemy was, but he didn’t know how strong they were. It made him feel like there was a Fishbone stuck in his throat and he couldn’t sit still.
On the other hand, if he really ran into a professional team, he would be able to handle it easily, even if he ran into order or G.o.ds. After all, most of the information about them was already an open secret. As long as he had enough data, even if they were G.o.ds … Brother Jue could still kill them.
“Let me take a look …” After Feng bujue opened the post, he realized that it was a long article, and the color of the words was so bright that it could blind a person. He immediately complained,”this person is trying to take revenge on society … Forcing the reader’s dog eye’s endurance to zero …”
While he said this, he also saw it …
Feng bujue stared at the unbearable font. With the intention of searching for information, he finished reading the entire article and …
“This is a scam!” He really wanted to smash a cup or something, but unfortunately, he had nothing in his hand.”What is this? No wonder the t.i.tle was filled with paparazzi style. It turned out to be nothing more than gossip! What’s so good about uncle loser joining a male idol group in Korea when he was young? Now, he’s just an uncle with sungla.s.ses!”
Just as brother Jue was grumbling loudly, a small icon suddenly popped up in his Social tab. This was a notification that would only appear when a ‘friend’ sent a message.
Seeing that, Feng bujue opened it without thinking. He didn’t expect that the person who had sent the message was actually …
