Quadruple split.

Chapter 2248 Pigeon's Plan

"Okay, anyway, I think you two are a good match. Although online dating is unreliable...it depends on the person."

Lu Jiang shook her head, crossed her arms and said helplessly: "In this game, the percentage of players who can customize their characters is not very high. Sister Ye Ge looks like this, she must be a super beauty outside the game. Brother Mo's personality is so good that it can't be faked. You two are a perfect match."

Ji Xiaoge narrowed his eyes, wrinkled his nose at Lu Jiang, and complained: "What do you mean by 'you've grown up like this'? Listen to yourself, Xiaolu, does this sound like a compliment to me?"

Lu Jiang answered without hesitation: "Yes, if you don't believe me, look at yourself in a mirror."

The winged beauty bit her silver teeth and glared at the other person angrily: "I'm just saying, this doesn't sound like a good thing to say!"

"Let's not discuss this for now. The pigeon and I, um... we just want to spend some time together."

Mo Tan pursed his lips, lowered his eyes and said this softly, and then when the girl's hands on his shoulders suddenly increased in strength, he added: "Of course, I am still very serious."

"Hey, I'm serious too!"

Ji Xiaoge's pretty face then turned from cloudy to sunny, and she leaned on Mo Tan's back and sighed, "Let's get back to business. This game is probably going to end badly."

"Sister Yege, how can you say that? You are the runner-up in the individual competition, and Xinglong only ranked in the top few places?"

Lu Jiang waved her hand and said seriously: "In my opinion, we are not in danger at all, but we are definitely dead!"

Ji Xiaoge: "…Is there any difference?"

"Yes, as the name suggests, the probability of the bad side is high, and the probability of the good side is low."

Lu Jiang raised an index finger very seriously, shaking it and saying, "The meaning of 100% dead is that there is no doubt of death, and there is no possibility of winning at all."

The girl, who had put all her weight on Mo Tan, pursed her lips and asked in a low voice: "Is there really no possibility at all? Mo is also very powerful."

"Brother Mo is pretty good. It's better to say that we are all pretty good. After all, the commentator also mentioned that the probability of an ordinary player team reaching this stage is only a little more than one in a hundred thousand. It is much more difficult than those who specialize in this field."

Although he is not as familiar with the gaming industry as Zhu Lan and Mika, Lu Jiang also pays close attention to the industry and even plans to become a gaming practitioner in the future. He sighed and said helplessly, "But our opponent is the Red Constellation. Brother Mo's three-stage transformation and eighteen kinds of weapons are indeed powerful, but Xinglong... is a monster that can fight back and forth with Brother Cordova before he steps on the accelerator. In addition, the other members of the Red Constellation main team are also very strong, and they have an advantage in numbers. They even have substitutes who can be rotated according to different situations. It's really impossible to beat them."

Mo Tan also nodded and agreed, "If I wake Long up, I probably won't stand a chance of winning. As for the best result against the others... it's probably that I can fight two people alone within ten minutes with all my strength without losing."

“Why do you say it’s the best outcome?”

Ji Xiaoge tilted her head and gently bumped Mo Tan's forehead, curiously asking, "Is there a worst-case scenario?"

"Of course."

Mo Tan smiled and explained meekly, "I know my level after giving it my all, but I only have a rough understanding of the players of the Red Constellation except Xinglong. Considering that they didn't use too many trump cards in the individual and team battles, I can only guess their true level. The worst result is that what they hide is far beyond my imagination."

Ji Xiaoge nervously scratched the back of Mo Tan's hand and asked cautiously, "Will it?"

"How did I know~"

Mo Tan shook his head helplessly and added, "But in my opinion, the opponent will not go all out to fight us. After all, everyone is hiding their cards in a team battle. The later they are seen by others, the more advantages they will have in the next battle. So from an objective point of view, [Red Constellation] will most likely not fight [Zoo] with all their strength."

Ji Xiaoge pursed her lips and muttered, "I feel a little unhappy."

"There's nothing to be unhappy about. Don't forget that our original intention was to 'participate first'."

Mo Tan tilted his head and looked at the girl leaning on his shoulder, and said with a smile: "If there is any regret, it is that I am afraid I will not have the opportunity to fight Xinglong in this battle. If nothing unexpected happens, the Red Constellation should choose to use the advantage of numbers to quickly crush us. Xinglong will definitely take action, but his role is probably mainly to thread the needle."

While styling her long hair, Lu Jiang casually said, "It's a pity that Sister Yege didn't ask Master Lu for an extra detonator or something. Otherwise, if there was only one suicide attack, the Red Constellation would have been taken away if they had tried to use their numbers to gather together."

Obviously, as a player who is also qualified to access some of the "inside stories" of Tianzhu Mountain, Lu Jiang knows very well how terrifying the thing that Ji Xiaoge raised with Mu Xuejian back then is. It is something that even researchers of Lu Wei's level cannot mass-produce. It is so rare that even players like Ji Xiaoge who have not yet reached the epic threshold can use it at will. The power is so outrageous that it can unconditionally kill any player at this stage! The detonator exists like a plug-in!

Of course, although it is called a plug-in, the cost of that thing is absolutely astronomical for ordinary players. Only a big guy like Lu Wei who has a very high status in Tianzhu Mountain can casually make a few of them to play with. And only a good disciple like Ji Xiaoge, whom he almost treats as his own daughter or granddaughter, can make him care so much about it.

If it were someone else... instead of completing the series of tasks of 'breaking through the outer mountains of Tianzhu Mountain alive to meet Lu Wei → maxing out Lu Wei's favorability → making Lu Wei spend a lot of energy and resources to make a detonator for him', it would be more realistic for him to wipe out the main team of [Red Constellation] through offline PK. After all, apart from Hanmei who could use women's self-defense skills to send several strong men to the hospital and Yinyue who could beat a crying bear with bare hands, even Xinglong, who was well-rounded in moral, intellectual, physical, aesthetic and labor aspects, was only a little bit higher than the average otaku in terms of 'physique'. A bunch of them would not be enough for Cui Xiaoyu and Ji Xiaodao to beat with one hand, and Xueran and Hanguang were even more weak. Jiuchong had been working hard to exercise and insisted on drinking milk and taking calcium tablets every day, but due to her talent, she would probably have to sit at the same table with Futaba if she wanted to have a feast.

In short, considering that Ji Xiaoge had already used the only [Lu Wei's handmade detonator·Specially provided for good disciples, space collapse type V19.25] driven by jealousy to take away herself and Mu Xuejian, then at least before she returned to Tianzhu Mountain to ask Lu Wei for the second detonator, it was impossible for her to use a suicide attack and die together with all the members of [Red Constellation] as Lu Jiang said.

Logically, that should be the case.

but--

"I see!"

The girl who was originally lying on Mo Tan's shoulder suddenly flapped her wings and stood up, saying seriously: "I will find a way to fulfill Mo's wish and let you and Xinglong have a good fight!"

Mo Tan: “…Ah?”

Lu Jiang was also confused: "Sister Yege, what are you doing?"

"literal meaning."

Ji Xiaoge waved his fist and said sternly: "Don't you think they will gang up on us? Then I will order them to stop messing around and let Mo and Xinglong fight first!"

Lu Jiang suddenly looked even more confused, and said in astonishment: "No, why should I listen to you, Sister Ye Ge?"

"I'm the runner-up in the individual competition!"

Ji Xiaoge put her hands on her hips with great confidence and shouted, "It's even better than Xinglong!"

Lu Jiang's mouth twitched, and he said dryly: "Your runner-up is obviously second only to the champion, isn't it?" "You know about this, but they don't know."

Ji Xiaoge grinned and said seriously, "And I killed Mu Xuejian in one second, didn't I?"

Mo Tan looked at Ji Xiaoge who was staring at him, and said with a wry smile: "I didn't interrupt you? Why are you looking at me?"

"Nothing, I just like watching you."

Ji Xiaoge chuckled and forcibly controlled Mo Tan, whose mind was as hard as steel under his current personality, for two seconds.

"But Sister Yege..."

Lu Jiang looked at Ji Xiaoge weakly and said helplessly: "Didn't you use Master Lu's detonator to kill both of you? But the detonator has been used up. You don't plan to go back to Tianzhu Mountain to get another one now, do you?"

"Hey, how can that be possible? I can't bear to let the teacher take up his own research time and take the trouble to make another one for me. It's too much work."

"Then why are you still..."

"You know the detonator is gone."

"Yeah, I know."

"Does the Red Constellation know?"

"Uh?"

……

  Game time PM14:35

Public space, [Crime debate·Group battle] live broadcast room

"Dear audience friends, long time no see~"

Tianshu waved cheerfully at the camera and winked playfully: "It hasn't been long since we last met, though."

"You are an old man, can you please stop being so cute in public..."

The young man who was sitting cross-legged on the chair glared at Tianshu unhappily and snorted, "It's disgusting."

Tianshu shrugged and spread his hands, saying, "I would like to act cute like you, but I am a normal-developmental person."

"Be careful when walking at night."

After issuing a threat that could not be ignored, Shota coughed lightly and said seriously, "Well, now let's welcome the special guest we just agreed on. He will be the current professional player who will commentate on this game together with me, Tianshu and Teacher Xueyin. He performed well in the last round of games. He is the mainstay of the Tokiwa Video Game Professional Studio and the man who sits above the Four Heavenly Kings - Sakaki!"

"Eh!?"

Xue Yin, who had just found out who the special guest of this competition was, was immediately shocked and exclaimed, "Boss Sakaki!?"

"Teacher Xueyin, just call me Sakaki."

The first visual impression is that he is tall, has a flat head, is serious, and wears a suit. After the game, he received an official invitation immediately and decided to accept the invitation after weighing the pros and cons. Boss Sakaki walked out slowly from the back of the live broadcast room, nodded to the three people, and calmly sat down on the empty chair next to Xue Yin. He said calmly: "The title of Boss is mostly a joke passed down by word of mouth by the young people in the studio. I am just a dedicated professional player like everyone else. In fact, in some definitions, players like us who make a living in the studio are not even considered 'professional players'."

Tianshu smiled and said in a light tone: "You are joking. Everyone knows that the four kings of Tokiwa Studio are very powerful, and their leader, Boss Sakaki, is an outstanding person. If you are not a professional player, how many people can call themselves professional players?"

"Oh?"

Sakaki smiled faintly and asked without hesitation: "So in your opinion, the studio employees who focus more on the many things in the game than on the stage and the field are no different from the e-sports practitioners of the [Red Constellation] and [Windbreaker] clubs. They are all professional players who can enter the hall?"

Realizing that the other party seemed to be trying to provoke the official definition of [Boundary of Innocence], Tianshu raised his lips slightly and said calmly: "First of all, of course, we are all professional players. As for the 'professional player', I think you are undoubtedly a professional player today, but after the game, you will be more of a professional player, a young hero, a clothes hanger, or even a suspected gangster. It's like I am the 'official commentator of the Crime Debate' now, but after the game, I will immediately transform myself into a 'good husband' and 'good father'."

"I see."

Sakaki nodded slightly and said meaningfully: "It seems that what Mr. Liu said before was not wrong. If you are just commentating on the game, it is definitely a waste of talent."

Tianshu nodded calmly and said seriously, "You may not believe it, but besides being eloquent, I am also a good cook."

"I see. Then please promise to visit our offline base of [Tokiwa] some other day."

Sakaki gently stroked his ring and said seriously, "There will be enough food, and the air tickets will be reimbursed."

"How can I do that? Why don't I leave you my address? When you have some free time, you can bring your friends over for an outdoor barbecue. Let's put aside our identities as professional players and non-professional commentators and have a good drink together?"

"Hahahahahaha, Teacher Tianshu is such a free and easy person."

"Hahahahahaha, Boss Sakaki is the one who is not bound by rules."

So, after a brief but veiled conversation, the two laughed at the same time, while Xueyin and Zhengtai, who were sitting in the middle, stared at each other for a long time, one looking a little dazed, and the other frowned with disgust on his face.

"That... little brother..."

"Sorry, Mr. Xue Yin, I am already a middle-aged man outside of the game."

"Ah, then Uncle Shota, what do you think Brother Tianshu and Boss Sakaki are doing..."

“Maybe it’s doing exercises for the brain.”
