Quadruple split.

Chapter 2282 Father's Position

  Game time PM21:20

Public space, studio

"First, we have some bad news to announce."

Xiao Xiaobai turned to the screen immediately after taking his seat and said in a serious tone, "Since [Red Constellation] rejected our invitation before the game, there is no special guest for this game... "

Xiao Bingbing coughed lightly and reminded, "Sister Xiaobai, you don't have to explain it in such detail."

"It's such a shame."

Xiao Xiaobai sighed and said in frustration, "Although I had reached a private agreement with Lusel before the game that 'even if he refused openly, he would come as a guest if he really lost', but [Windbreaker] unexpectedly defeated [Red Constellation] and advanced to the semi-finals. It's such a pity."

Xiao Bingbing was almost going crazy, and complained loudly: "Don't regret this kind of thing! Congratulate her quickly, Sister Xiaobai!!!"

"Ok."

Xiao Xiaobai nodded slightly and said reluctantly: "Then let us congratulate [Wind-Breaking Bird] again for defeating its old rival [Red Constellation] and advancing to the semi-finals, tsk."

"Don't be so rude! There are so many people watching us, please be nicer!"

"Well, [Wind-Breaking Bird] avoided the opponent's attack in a three-on-one situation and used a time-consuming method to hold back for two hours. The tactic of suffocating the Awakening Dragon player to death was very brilliant. Let's cheer for them."

"Who can cheer for this? You are too malicious towards the Wind-Breaking Bird!"

"No, this has nothing to do with the fact that I lost the bet with the Russell player."

"So it does matter! Your resentment is about to overflow the screen! What did you lose?"

“Add ‘Blinding Wind, the special cocktail of the Windbreak Club’ to the sales list of the Public Space Mall.”

"Hey, hey, hey, I've never heard of such a thing! Don't increase the prizes without permission!"

"I know, so I asked the boss of Little Smart Guy if I could give a cup to all the top eight teams."

"Don't bother the sponsors over something like this!"

"I don't want to either, but the contract says that prizes have to be coordinated between both parties."

"Okay, so what?"

“The sponsor agreed, but my bonus was gone.”

"Uh……"

"whispering sound."

"Is that why you have such a strong grudge against the Wind-Breaking Bird?"

"..."

"Hey! Sister Xiaobai, please don't be silent! Did I guess it right? In the end, you are angry at others because your bonus was deducted!"

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha--"

As Xiao Bingbing couldn't help but complain, Xue Yin, who was sitting next to Xiao Xiaobai, had already covered her mouth with her hands and laughed so hard that she was shaking and her whole body was limp. The countless audiences who were watching the live broadcast were also mostly in a state of smiling knowingly, laughing out loud, or rolling on the ground laughing hysterically like Ji Xiaoge.

But jokes aside, in the eyes of most people, this was just a joke deliberately made up by the two official commentators to liven up the atmosphere. The reward for the special cocktail was probably true, but it should have nothing to do with any bet. It was just a marketing tool to add icing on the cake. Players are naturally happy to see this kind of marketing that entertains themselves and the public and does not involve pulling down or attacking others. Therefore, even the fans of [Wind-Breaking Bird] who were criticized by Xiao Xiaobai were very respectful.

After all, it is impossible for the five main players of [Wind-Breaking Bird] to be attacked by public opinion for "delaying time". You have to know that the purpose of the game has always been to "win". As for the "means of winning", it is normal to be a little controversial. Moreover, they are all old clubs. If you really want to be serious, just look through the past videos and you can find more than a dozen scenes where [Red Constellation] deliberately delayed time for victory. So even if the last two hours made everyone feel a little boring, they would not attack [Wind-Breaking Bird] because of this boredom.

  Because anyone who has watched the game carefully knows how desperately and hard they tried, so much so that when the game entered the final countdown and Xinglong persisted in searching until the last second but still failed to find the three people, cheers broke out in every corner of the public space. Even offline, countless people who were watching the game at twice the speed breathed a sigh of relief and excitedly cheered for [Wind-Breaking Bird] who persisted to the end!

Therefore, Xiao Xiaobai's previous complaints not only will not make people feel unhappy with [Wind-Breaking Bird], but it can even help improve the reputation of both parties in the "Hide and Seek" game, so that people will not think that Xinglong is so funny, nor will they think that the Taoist priest, Youming, and Xizhao are so cowardly. The price is just that Xiao Xiaobai has a slightly mean personality. In this regard, let alone rounding it off, even if it is rounded off, this little flaw will be directly wiped out under her strong personal style.

"Stop talking about this."

Xiao Bingbing sighed helplessly amidst the laughter and said dryly, "Sister Xiaobai, let's change the subject."

"also."

Xiao Xiaobai nodded and said obediently, "Now that I have finished the bad news, I will announce two objectively good news."

Xue Yin blinked and repeated, "Two?"

"two!"

Xiao Xiaobai nodded calmly and said seriously, "First of all, we have reached a consensus with the Red Constellation and confirmed that its captain, Xinglong, will be the special guest of the next match, the first match of the semi-finals, and will co-host the match between the Sailor Moon team and the Card Man team with us."

Xiao Bingbing, who obviously knew the news, smiled but said nothing. Xue Yin, who was not an official staff member, widened her eyes and asked in shock, "But didn't you just say that [Red Constellation] rejected the invitation of the special guest?"

"That's right, but to be more precise, it was the publicity department, business department, and team representatives of Red Constellation who rejected our invitation."

Xiao Xiaobai echoed the question, and after a brief explanation, he continued, "However, after the game just now, Mr. Luo from [Red Star Network Technology Co., Ltd.] took the initiative to find us and said that he would accept the invitation on behalf of Xinglong."

Xue Yin frowned slightly, stroking her chin and guessing, "Is it because we gave too much? After all, the trading cards are so profitable..."

"Cough cough!"

Xiao Bingbing immediately cleared her throat before Xueyin accidentally revealed some internal data and ratios, and after forcibly completing a wave of interruptions, she turned to the camera and smiled awkwardly: "Well, it's a commercial secret... Please understand."

Obviously, she herself felt that no one would buy into the excuse of 'my trachea suddenly felt uncomfortable', so she told the truth very sincerely. And considering that [The Realm of Innocence] itself was conscientious enough, no one would make a fuss about this kind of thing, and everyone just laughed it off.

"I don't think it has much to do with how much we give."

Xiao Xiaobai shook his head very objectively, his opinion as sharp and pertinent as always: "I think Boss Luo made this arrangement on purpose because he was worried about the players' mentality. After all, the Red Constellation did play a bit ugly in the previous game. That's the truth."

Xiao Bingbing sighed and pleaded, "Can you please say less truth?"

"There's nothing to hide. Everyone has bad performances and bad form. This won't be the first time that Red Constellation loses to Wind Breaker, nor will it be the last. But except for those who don't like to think with their brains and those with ulterior motives, no one would think that Red Constellation would fall from grace after this battle." Xiao Xiaobai didn't seem to hear his friend's advice, and just continued to talk to himself, "Really responsible people don't need too much encouragement. On the contrary, self-blame and guilt are their biggest enemies. Although I don't know Red Constellation very well, I think they have a good reputation in the industry and will never have problems with their sense of responsibility and professionalism. In other words, no one would find it more difficult to accept this kind of defeat than them."

Xue Yin scratched her hair and asked in a slightly painful tone, as if she was about to grow a brain: "So... so what?"

"So what they need most now is not blame, but an opportunity to divert their attention, help them relieve their emotions and regain their normal state of mind."

Xiao Xiaobai leaned back in his chair, spinning his pen beautifully while calmly saying, "It is a perfect opportunity to have the captain, Xinglong, be the special guest in the semi-finals. I have to say that Boss Luo really has good intentions."

Xiao Bingbing pinched her philtrum in some confusion and said helplessly: "But this should be tacitly understood, but Sister Xiaobai, you..."

"By making things clear, I can more effectively remind the players of Red Constellation that now is not the time to be sentimental. If someone is still dwelling on something, I can even help them realize the good intentions of the boss."

Xiao Xiaobai raised his thumb to the camera and said proudly: "This is a reflection of emotional intelligence and experience."

"Putting aside experience...at least in terms of emotional intelligence, I have reservations."

Xiao Bingbing muttered a little tiredly, and then said without hesitation: "But there's nothing wrong with this, maybe."

"Then, the second good news is——"

Xiao Xiaobai, who continued to perform his commentary work 'seriously', turned to the right side of the screen and said seriously, "Considering that this game will face a major crisis of having no guests, our company's largest partner in this competition, Mr. Yinan, the founder of [B City Little Smart Ghost Co., Ltd.], who is also the chairman of the board and CEO, made a decision that goes against his ancestors, that is, to become an idol to save the Controversy!"

Then, under the gaze of countless eyes, a man who looked to be about 40 years old, tall, well-proportioned, fair-skinned, with a warm smile and handsome appearance appeared on the right side of the studio, waving to the camera and walking towards the commentary seat.

"Hello, Teacher Xue Yin, and hello to the two commentators."

Inan, who was wearing a casual suit and had a slightly cold temperament but a warm smile and voice, greeted the three ladies in a gentle manner and said with a faint smile: "It's just that my decision to attend this game does not go against our ancestors, and the special guest is not considered an idol."

……

"So you can talk properly!"

Yi Dong had just entered the [Competition Ready State] through the system menu. After Yinan appeared, he stood there frozen as if struck by lightning. After a short circuit for a few seconds, he suddenly jumped onto the coffee table in anger and roared, "I have known you for almost twenty years and I have never seen you speak so approachably! Isn't my father a jerk who can't even say a word, and every day he just holds a tablet or a mobile phone to get horny with those two-dimensional wives or my mother!? Who can tell me who this warm-hearted man is! Huh!?"

"It's your father."

Mo Tan patted Yi Dong on the shoulder and said in a brisk tone, "He is not much different from the impression I have of Uncle Yi."

"It's your father."

Gu Xiaole patted Yi Dong's other shoulder and said cheerfully, "He's not much different from the good uncle I remember."

"But why is he so different from the father I remember?!"

Yi Dong stared at the screen with a look of frustration, his eyes tearing up as he said, "And hasn't he been commentating the game as a 'handsome guy'? What, he couldn't help himself after seeing my mom being a guest in her original identity? And he changed his style so that no one would find out that the character setting is the same? From a cool guy to a warm guy? Why don't you just go and act! Why don't you just debut! Just debut as an idol! Join my mom in the entertainment industry!!"

Yu Chen tilted his head and thought for a while, then grabbed Mo Tan's sleeve and said excitedly: "Wow! This is the first time I hear Yi Dong speak Japanese!"

"It's normal."

Mo Tan smiled and explained concisely: "Aunt Gu was said to have lived in Japan before she married here. Yi Dong was often taken there to visit relatives. Her Japanese level is actually quite good."

"My mom is Gugu-chan, and my dad is this super handsome and successful uncle! He's also very handsome! How did he get born?"

Yuying licked her lips and then cast a greedy look at Yidong: "Do you have a partner?"

"No."

Mo Tan shook his head and said casually: "But you are not suitable."

"no……"

Yuying was stunned for a moment, and said dryly: "I didn't ask you, and don't you have Her Highness the Saint?"

"I'm talking about him."

Mo Tan pointed at Yi Dong, who was staring at the screen and breathing heavily, and said lightly: "You two don't have the right personalities. He is more suitable for strong and caring people, and you are cunning and careful. You are bound to quarrel when you are together."

Upon hearing this, Yu Ying immediately narrowed her eyes and said unhappily, "Hei Fan, why are you so direct! If I were serious, wouldn't I be very sad?"

"Because I know you're not serious, I'm being so direct, just in case you accidentally take it seriously."

"Damn it, are you protecting your food?"

"You're overthinking it. I'm straight."

"So what's your arranged relationship thing?"

"I just simply think you're not suitable."

"Fuck, I can't imagine why a staunchly heterosexual would be so concerned about the emotional issues of a homosexual."

"Father's position."

"Fuck! What you said actually makes some sense!"

"Yeah, right?"

"Yeah yeah!"

"What the hell are you guys! You guys will never stop until I say something, right?"
