Quadruple split.

Chapter 24: June Cold

"guys."

Calmly watching the protagonist on the screen freeze the victory for Team Sailor Moon... or rather, the Earth Dragon Christina, Guo Shi Wushuang was silent for a long time before he heaving a sigh of relief. He turned to his friends who were consciously standing in a row behind him and shrugged, saying, "Although this may be a bit depressing, as your captain, I must say this now... Please be mentally prepared to stop in the semi-finals."

The soul fire in the eyes of the Holy Light King fluttered for a few times, and he said dryly: "I think we can still struggle."

"Wushuang didn't say we couldn't struggle. He didn't even say we would definitely be at a disadvantage."

The three colors frowned at the same time and said in a deep voice: "Just be mentally prepared for defeat, it shouldn't be difficult, right?"

Liuju Manguan blinked twice and answered seriously, "It's not difficult. Just fight with all your might. If you can't win, there's nothing you can do."

“I just like the mentality of the Grand Slam.”

Guo Shi Wushuang smiled, then turned to look at Feng Huaxueyue who was hanging her head and saying nothing, and asked, "What about you?"

“I don’t like his mentality.”

The girl answered without hesitation, then took a deep breath, raised her head and looked into Guo Shi Wushuang's eyes, and said with a firm expression: "We will win!"

The latter nodded slightly and said gently: "I hope we will win, too."

"Not hope."

Fenghuaxueyue clenched her fists and said solemnly, "We will win! We are professionals. We have one more person than them. We have your inherent barrier, illusion, brains, and coordination. Even if it's that supermodel Christina, what can she do? Her only advantage is that she is more resistant to attacks. This is a team competition. If you don't have the ability to fight head-on, what can you do with strong defense? We are not that makeshift team like Yuhuo. What can they use to fight us?"

Guo Shi Wushuang nodded, raised his hand to stop San Se Tong Ke who was about to speak, and then asked Feng Hua Xue Yue softly, "Anything else?"

The latter shook his head slightly, and said firmly: "No more."

"very good."

Guo Shi Wushuang smiled and said lightly: "If I hear such stupid remarks again, you will not be allowed to enter the competition."

Feng Hua Xue Yue froze for a moment, and said in astonishment: "...What did you say!?"

"I said, if you make similar remarks again..."

Guo Shi Wushuang pinched his brows tiredly. The gentle smile on his lips had turned cold and sharp without knowing when. His warm tone had also been coated with a touch of frost without knowing when. "Just go to the second team. You can change your working environment if you want. Just don't show up in front of me."

【I knew it……】

The three colors sighed silently at the same time and gave the Holy Light King a look.

【■■■■■. 】

The soul fire in the Holy Light King's eyes flashed a few times, but unfortunately, the three colors were engraved at the same time and it was impossible to read even a single byte of its meaning.

Feng Hua Xue Yue herself stared at Guo Shi Wu Shuang blankly as if she had lost her soul, and seemed completely unable to understand the meaning of what the other party had just said.

"I have a serious case of idiocy, Xueyue, a very serious one, and your remarks just now, it is no exaggeration to say, have completely aroused my physical discomfort. Of course, although idiocy is not included in the diagnostic criteria of the International Classification of Diseases or the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, I still think it is a pathological rather than an emotional problem."

Guo Shi Wushuang staggered to the chair next to the mahjong table and sat down, so that his back was facing Feng Hua Xue Yue. Without turning his head, he said to the stunned Feng Hua Xue Yue, "I'm sorry, I tried to be as tactful as possible, but whenever I think of your words that almost got me kicked off the system, I find it difficult to control my blood pressure and heart rate."

"..."

"How dare you completely ignore every meaning of my words and determine the outcome of the next round based on your own passion?"

"..."

"How dare you be so dictatorial and so sure of your own victory, covering your ears like a carefree crystal powder, and turning a deaf ear to any voice that does not agree with your wishes?"

"..."

"How dare you act on impulse in a tournament of this level, beat a supermodel monster like a bug to the point of being worthless, and claim that the [Bath of Fire] Guild, which is avoided by the entire professional circle, is a makeshift team?"

"..."

"Do you know the win-loss ratio of us [Card Masters] when we had direct clashes with [Bath of Fire] in the game over the past eight years? It's 90:1! We have to be tricked nine times before we can find a chance to hurt them once!"

"..."

"They are a makeshift group? Then what are we? What are we before we defeat the Sailor Moon in front of them? Just scumbags?"

"..."

"Now, disappear from my sight. You won't be participating in the match with [Parents Are a Little Tired] later. If you can adjust your condition, come back here before the next round of matches. If you think my stupidity has hurt you and you don't want to come back to compete, that's fine. As captain, I will bear the cost of giving up the match for you and use all my personal resources to find you another job. If the salary is not as good as your current salary at [Paid Man], I will pay for the difference in your income for a year out of my own pocket."

"..."

"Now, for my own health, disappear."

"..."

Accompanied by a burst of white light, Fenghuaxueyue, who seemed still unresponsive, was forcibly kicked out of the room by Guoshi Wushuang with the highest authority.

Then--

"Wushuang."

The three colors sighed at the same time, shook their heads helplessly and said, "Aren't you going a little too far?"

"agree."

The Holy Light Old King also nodded, his tone somewhat unhappy: "Too straightforward, too simple, too rough, too bullying."

"You shouldn't say that."

Liuju Manguan also echoed the words, and raised his hand seriously to put it on Guoshi Wushuang's shoulder, and said seriously: "Xueyue is very good, you can talk to her properly, and she is not unserious. It's not a bad thing to have confidence in yourself."

"You guys know how to be good people now, right?"

Changing from his cold, depressed and restless style just now, he suddenly became as lazy as usual. Guo Shi Wushuang rolled his eyes and glanced at San Se Tong Ke unhappily: "Who was the one who secretly came to me and said that Xue Yue's temper would be the one who would suffer in the future?" San Se Tong Ke: "..."

"besides."

Guo Shi Wushuang turned to Saint Light Old King and asked with a fake smile, "Who was the person who repeatedly asked me to criticize her in private, saying that he had long seen that she would suffer from the common problem of new geniuses?"

Holy Light Old King: “…”

"besides!"

Guo Shi Wushuang finally looked at Liu Ju Man Guan, and after staring at the innocent-looking latter for half a minute, he shook his head and said, "Okay, that's all."

Flowing Game Slam: “……?”

"Cough cough."

This time it was Old King Shengguang who spoke first, and said sheepishly, "Well, I did say that I gave you, Wushuang, some advice on how to teach Xueyue a lesson. I... I was also doing this for her own good. That girl is smart, but she's too straightforward. To be honest, I've never seen someone who can play such a brilliant tactic but has such a straightforward personality... Oh, she's one of them. Anyway, there are too few people like her. If we don't let her learn a lesson, she'll definitely be hit in the future."

The three-color duo nodded, touched their noses with a complicated expression and said, "Yeah, you see, she even controls the format of the nickname of the Red Constellation Bloodstained on the Internet... This... This is not easy to get along with in society."

"I know."

Guo Shi Wushuang folded his arms and turned to the two of them, saying with a depressed expression, "But is this a reason for you to spoil her to the sky while making sarcastic remarks? Do you want me to help you recall how you have been coaxing Xueyue since she was promoted to the main team? When she did something wrong, how did you spoil her and scramble to take the blame for her? You are only a few years older than her, but your fatherly love has been aroused first?"

Three colors engraved at the same time: "..."

Holy Light Old King: “…”

Flow Game Slam: "Who is it?"

"Man Slam, don't talk yet."

Guo Shi Wushuang waved his hand at Liuju Manguan, who was always out of shape, and said helplessly: "Do you think I want to provoke her? But the problem is that the next round is really not easy to play. My [Ukiyo-e] is not yet perfect, and Christina's defense is unstoppable. This trait can offset our best planning to the greatest extent. In this case, as long as the opponent's tactics are used properly, it will be difficult for us to win, literally difficult to win."

The three colors nodded at the same time and smiled bitterly, "Then Xueyue will be hit hard based on her one-sided understanding of the game, and will hit the biggest 'rookie wall' since she became a professional player. The most ironic thing is that the opponent is not only not setting up a wall for her to hit, but is not even a professional player. After this wave, it will be difficult for her, a girl with such a strong self-esteem, to withstand it."

"So since none of you want to be the bad guy, and Xueyue's mentality problem must be resolved before the next round of games, isn't it just me who has to do it?"

Guo Shi Wushuang leaned back in his chair and spread his hands, saying, "Whether it's Xueyue or the new generation of players from the Red Constellation Team 2, someone has to wake them up. They have retired seniors to lead them, but what about us? I can't call Captain Tianyuan back to educate Xueyue, right? Or can I expect you guys to be cruel and say something unpleasant?"

Lao Wang scratched his ribs and said helplessly, "What you just said was too harsh. You even brought up stupidity. Who with a normal brain wouldn't get mad after hearing that? What's more, Xueyue...she's still...sigh..."

"Alright, alright, stop sighing. I know Xueyue's personality too well. She will definitely feel uncomfortable for a while, but a whole round of games is enough time for her to adjust."

Guo Shi Wushuang waved his hand and said calmly, "I can guarantee that she will come back before the next round at the latest. Then I will pretend that nothing happened and make all the arrangements. If we win, I will apologize to her directly. If we lose... I will find an auspicious day to apologize to her. Xueyue has a bad temper but she doesn't hold grudges. She will be fine."

Three colors engraved at the same time: "Uh..."

"how?"

Guo Shi Wushuang stood up lazily and said with a smile: "You don't think she will really leave here?"

"Of course I don't think so, it's just..."

The three colors hesitated for a moment, but in the end they didn't finish their words. They just shook their heads weakly and said, "Forget it, the preparation time is up, let's play the game first."

"Quick victory."

Guo Shi Wushuang nodded slightly and said softly: "Xueyue must be watching the game. Let's win a crushing victory and stimulate her again."

"you……"

"Why? Since I've risked my life to be a bad guy, I naturally want to maximize the benefits. It's not easy to let her calm down and reflect. If she's not here, the fight won't go smoothly, and the educational value will definitely be greatly reduced."

"Okay, let's do as you say."

"That's good enough. Remember to speak well of me to Xueyue later."

"..."

……

  ten minutes later

Game time PM17:55

In the second match of the semi-finals of [Crime Debate·Team Battle], [Pai Lao] designed a plan to lure two members of [Parents Are a Little Tired] out of the base in the sixth minute after the start of the game, and carried out a textbook siege and attack. In the fourth minute after the encounter began, they completely wiped out the enemy team, and secured the second semi-final spot in the upper half with one less player. They will compete with the [Sailor Moon] team for a place in the finals in the next round.

……

"No, my...butt isn't even warm yet!"

Yuan Fangwei, one of the vice presidents of the [Bath of Fire] Guild and the guest commentator who had shown great resilience in the previous game, stared at the screen with his eyes wide open, and said stiffly, "Is this the end?"

Xue Yin beside her nodded vigorously and said in a rare firm tone: "Yeah! It's done!"

"Ah... I haven't even said the new words that bastard told me to say!"

Yuan Fangwei rubbed his hands anxiously, then took a deep breath and said seriously, "I forgot the beginning and the middle. Anyway, the [Bath of Fire] Guild is now recruiting talents from all walks of life to work together for a great cause. We welcome all kinds of casual, lazy, powerful players and fishing enthusiasts. Our slogan is integrity, friendship, civilization, unity, order and kindness. If you are interested, please contact Ms. Weiweian, the editor-in-chief of the game version of the Mire News. That's it. Thank you everyone."

"Thank you everyone, and thank you to Yuanfang Weiwu for the wonderful commentary."

Tianshu nodded seriously, turned to the camera and said solemnly: "Let us also congratulate [Pai Lao] for advancing to the semi-finals. It can be seen that although the five players of [Parents are very tired] are extremely experienced, they are still slightly inferior to [Pai Lao] who can even turn the opponent's experience into his own advantage. The absolute gap in hard power between the two sides has become the last straw, completely crushing the parents who are obviously at a disadvantage in character strength."

"Let us once again applaud the players on both sides, thank the poker players and the parents for letting us see such a wonderful game."

“[Little Smart Ghost & Innocence Special Edition Trading Cards] are now available. If you purchase the [Second Dimension Enhancement Pack] Basic/Deluxe Set online, you may get the rare electronic flash cards [SR·Arashi: Stake Killer], [SSR·Cheese Cat Demon: Steel Rose], and [EX·Poto: Dark Arbiter].”

"Well, let's take a break, and then we'll see—"

"Red Constellation VERSUS Wind-Breaking Bird!"
