Quadruple split.

Chapter 2267 After the Advertisement: Final Four Battle

  Game time PM16:45

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

"Well, thank you again, Mr. Ciro, for taking the time to accept our invitation."

Xiao Bingbing turned around and smiled at the tall, fair-skinned white man with Thai and Italian ancestry who was sitting next to Xue Yin: "I hope you can continue to achieve good results in the league, and I also wish you can win glory for the country in next year's World Cup."

The man named Ciro also gave Xiao Bingbing a slightly shy smile, and nodded under the simultaneous translation of the main system, which was far more efficient than the [Deception Orb], and said, "Thank you, thank you, Innocence Realm. I am very happy to have such a fulfilling vacation, and I am also honored to participate in this competition as a guest. To be honest, my gaming talent is not very high, and coupled with the time difference, it is difficult for me to enjoy Innocence Realm leisurely, so I am really very happy today."

"Even if you say so..."

Xiao Xiaobai glanced at him and said seriously, "We won't change the game's operating hours. Do you want to consider changing jobs? If you change to an easier job, you should be able to find time to play games even during the day, right?"

Ciro was visibly stunned for a moment, and after a while he responded awkwardly, "Well... I may retire in a few years, so I should have a lot of time left by then."

"Eh?"

Xiao Bingbing turned to the rather shy foreigner and asked, "Mr. Ciro, why did you retire so early? I remember your father was almost 40 years old when he retired."

"How can I compare with my father..."

Ciro waved his hands in fear and said with a wry smile: "Although I have inherited some talent, I am already satisfied to have a quarter of my father's achievements. If I can win the World Cup next year, I will have no regrets."

"That's right. Although your historical status is not low, it seems that you will not be able to enter the top 20 now. Well, that is, if you can win the championship next year. You really can't compare with your father who is almost the number one in history."

Xiao Xiaobai leaned back in his chair and tilted his head to look at Ciro, saying seriously: "But honestly, I think you are already the best among the countless 'second generation'. If you change your father, the possibility of your disciple surpassing your master is actually very high."

Ciro smiled shyly and nodded, "Thank you for your recognition, but I am still very fortunate to be the son of my father and mother."

"Of course. If we go by reincarnation level, you're among the best in the world."

Xiao Xiaobai nodded slightly and said calmly, "Anyway, thank you for authorizing the star cards. Although our company and Xiao Jinglinggui also paid a huge amount of portrait fees, this business is still very profitable. It's a win-win situation."

Ciro, who had always had his agent help him with business affairs, was stunned again, but when he realized what was happening, he immediately agreed, "Yes, that's great."

After that, Ciro noticed the exit prompt on the auxiliary screen and stood up. He bowed politely to the three ladies and said, "I hope we can have the opportunity to cooperate again in the future."

"Okay."

Xiao Xiaobai lazily stood up from his seat with Xiao Bingbing and Xue Yin and smiled at Ciro: "Would you consider endorsing our company for free?"

Ciro: “……Huh?”

"Ahem, Sister Xiaobai was just joking."

Xiao Bingbing immediately rushed to the rescue and said with a wry smile, "She has the best sense of humor among us, but if you don't spend much time with her, it's hard to tell whether she's joking or not. Ahahaha, hahahahaha."

"I see."

Ciro nodded vigorously and smiled, "I like people with a sense of humor."

"By the way, can you get me a signed jersey of your father?"

Xiao Xiaobai looked straight at Ciro, who rarely appeared as a guest on such shows despite producing a lot of commercials every year, and said in the same serious tone: "This is not a joke, I am his biggest fan, a super crazy one."

"Demon barrier... crystal?"

Ciro, who still couldn't understand the meaning of the words at the first sight despite the system translation, blinked, then gave up thinking and nodded, "I'll go back and talk to my father. Given his personality, he probably won't refuse. Uh...but if things don't go well, can you take a look at my jerseys? One for each of us."

"Okay, okay!"

"Thank you, I will keep it well."

"Is it Ciro or your last name printed on your jersey?"

"Last name."

"Oh, that's okay."

"Ahem, I'll be leaving first then. Thank you, Sister Xiaobai, Sister Bingbing, and Sister Xueyin."

A consensus was barely reached. Ciro, who was very happy but panicked the whole time, breathed a sigh of relief. Then he waved vigorously to the three people and the camera, smiled brightly, and quickly left from the edge of the screen.

What was different from before was that after this game, Xiao Xiaobai and Xiao Bingbing did not leave with the guests, but sat on both sides of Xue Yin. The live broadcast background instantly changed from the winning frame of [Haunted Church] to a beautiful and meaningless nebula.

"Then please allow me to announce to you that the first round of the team competition on the final day has officially ended."

Xiao Bingbing gave the camera a warm smile and said loudly in her clear and energetic voice: "Let us congratulate the top eight."

"Although it's not necessary, let's review the battle order for now."

Xiao Xiaobai also looked towards the camera, his tone as emotionless as ever: "First, the four teams in the upper half. Team [Bath of Fire] and Team [Sailor Moon] will soon begin competing for the first place in the semi-finals. Team [Parents Are Tired], which successfully bullied the weak in the first round and played the pig to the extreme, will face off against [Card Master] for the second place in the semi-finals. The winners of the two groups will meet in the third round. Whoever defeats the other will compete with the final winner of the lower half for the championship."

"I want to emphasize once again that the so-called 'upper and lower half' in this [Guilt Contest] is just a random matching mechanism. There is no saying that one half is strong and the other is weak." Xiao Bingbing said with a chuckle, and smiled: "But after seeing the four teams in the lower half, I don't think anyone will have this illusion, don't you think so, Teacher Xueyin?"

The star-level idol, who looked a little dazed and distracted, shuddered immediately when his name was called, and then nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "Yes, yes, yes, that's right!"

"The first semi-final spot in the lower half will be a high-traffic battle like Mars hitting the Earth. The main team of the Red Constellation Club, which has the highest commercial value and is the leader in the domestic e-sports field, will compete against the main team of the Wind Breaker Club, which has the highest overall strength and is the rival of the club that they have been fighting against for many years."

Xiao Xiaobai did not skimp on the text of the two teams and introduced them very seriously: "Among them, the two core captains, Xinglong and Lusail, have already faced off once in the individual competition. The result of that game was that Xinglong, who was very reserved, won the victory with a crushing manner, and also refreshed his own record of the fastest victory over Lusail. However, as an evergreen in the industry, Lusail, who has theoretically passed his 'peak period' for a long time, will not be despised at all. On the contrary, the expectations for [Breaking Wind Bird] in this battle are unprecedented, so I boldly speculate that this must be a fight between dragons and tigers."

Putting aside something that was of great concern for a while, Xue Yin regained her composure and raised her hand. She asked crisply, "But the Red Constellation still has the advantage, right? After all, they have the Awakening Dragon player."

"Yes."

Xiao Xiaobai nodded slightly and said affirmatively: "Although I have said many times that before reaching epic level like Cordova, it is generally difficult for high-level players to have a 'dimensionality reduction attack', but we must admit that based on Xinglong's performance, he is very likely to play a decisive role in a five-on-five battle."

Xue Yin smacked her lips, stretched comfortably, and exclaimed, "I'm so looking forward to it!"

"As for the last match in the lower half, the two teams are the ones that have won the last two games. The Heavy Metal team, which was unknown not long ago, and... huh, the Haunted Church team."

Xiao Xiaobai also stretched his body and said in a voice that was slightly warmer than before (only Xueyin and Yuchen outside the venue could hear it), "Among them, the heavy metal players Rune Zhulan and Huo Yanyang are undoubtedly the focus of the focus. The former has proven himself in the individual competition by eliminating Han Guang and Xue Ran one after another, while the latter made his teammates even more powerful in the previous game, bursting out with inexplicable fighting power."

Xiao Bingbing also nodded and agreed, "That's right. There's no need to mention Zhu Lan. Just based on Huo Yanyang's performance just now, I would like to call him one of the most powerful assistants since the start of the competition. The other three players are also very strong. You know, being able to adapt to such a large increase in ability is absolutely rare in mental virtual games... especially in our [Guilt Battle]."

Xiao Xiaobai nodded vigorously and said seriously, "And their opponent defeated them with overwhelming force in the previous match, and even successfully replaced the opponent's healer [Haunted Church] before the encounter began."

"Although the number of contestants is the full five, but..."

Xiao Bingbing hesitated for a moment, but finally told the truth: "Everyone has seen that in the final battle just now, the Haunted Church still did not go all out. It only sent out the great Onmyoji Gu Xiaole and Yuying, and the effect was outstanding."

"Gu Xiaole showed absolute dominance. After Yuying used a life-threatening attack to directly replace the healer of the [Infinite Mining] team, Greek Milk, and was eliminated from the game together, this great Yin-Yang master, who only lost to Dahua Morning Glory in the individual competition and whose specific strength could not be guessed at all, almost killed the remaining four people with a crushing force. The scene was really exciting."

Xiao Xiaobai, who had mentioned the Big Flower Morning Glory again, smacked his lips contentedly and said seriously, "Although there is only one player, the great Onmyoji Gu Xiaole has the ability to command Shikigami. Although it is different from the mainstream summoner profession in the Innocence Realm, through observation from a God's perspective, it is not difficult to find that those Shikigami are not only very capable in fighting, but also very intelligent."

Xue Yin, who seemed to be very interested in the [Haunted Church], smacked her lips and said, "What a mysterious team."

“Hopefully the games to come will reveal them.”

Xiao Xiaobai said calmly, then lowered his head to glance at the time, and said in a concluding tone: "Then, in fifteen minutes, the second round of the [Guilt Debate Team Competition] will officially begin. At that time, our commentary team members will continue to watch the game with Teacher Xue Yin and the special guests."

"It's 5pm in the game time, which is midnight in real time. See you there."

Xiao Bingbing also read out the conclusion and inserted an advertisement fluently, "[Little Smart Ghost & Innocence Realm Special Edition Trading Cards] are now available. If you purchase the [Three-Dimensional Enhancement Pack] Basic/Deluxe Set offline, you may get the rare flash cards [SR·Xue Yin: Newcomer Debut], [SSR·Ciro: Sai Bo Hua Kai], and [EX·Chen Xuan Si: The World is Prosperous]."

Xue Yin threw a cute wink at the camera and said happily: "Spoiler, I also have my own SSR and EX cards!"

……

"My uncle has a really good business mind."

At the same time, in Yi Dong's private room, Gu Xiaole looked at the big screen that had jumped to the advertisement of [Little Smart Ghost & Innocence Realm Special Edition Trading Cards] and said with emotion: "I'll make a bold guess. In half a month at most, the sales of those small cards will be enough to pay back the licensing fee."

The clever young master nodded contentedly. While he was happy that his father was still keeping up with the times, even a little too ahead of the times, he generously suggested, "How about I give each of you a deluxe box? I have probably guessed which factories they are from. The uncle over there will definitely give me this face."

"Thank you, Master!"

Yuying immediately and loudly expressed her admiration for the young master, which was as endless as the river water.

Yu Chen and Ji Xiaoge also exchanged glances and said "I want it too", but Mo Tan seemed to be uninterested in this matter. He just sat on the sofa with his chin in his hand, looking absent-minded...

"What are you thinking about?"

"Nothing, I just tried to figure out the characteristics of each team and think about the possible ways to deal with them. After all, we can't rely on Sister Xiaole to end the battle alone every time. She also has her limits."

"Oh, what about the mood?"

"What's your mood? Is it Miss Xiaole's mood?"

"Of course it's your mood."

"..."

"Well, so…I don't know why you're so unhappy, but are you feeling better now?"

"Well, it wasn't there just now, but it is now."

"Hey, is this my credit?"

"Of course it's your credit~"
