Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

"That's what brains are all about! But look, Lin Xuan and the others figured it out too, didn't they?"

"That's different!"

Seeing that this guy wanted to drag him into the mess, Lin Xuan decisively shook his head.

Lin Xuan made her judgment mainly based on her understanding of Zhong Mingyi. Although Zhang Shouqing and Zhong Mingyi knew each other, they were not very close. It was only recently that they had spent more time together.

"I just followed his lead!"

Bai Yao also said directly, "Letting her consider such a thing... forget it, it's better to just kill her."

It's fair to say that there aren't many good people among these guys.

While the group was talking, Zhong Mingyi quickly returned to his seat, and then discovered...

Why are you all looking at me like that?

Zhong Ming didn't know why, but after he fought a battle, the way these guys looked at him was different, especially Chu Jingyun, who gritted his teeth and said:

"Can't you just finish this quickly? What are you wasting so much time on?"

"Just consider it a warm-up; there's still plenty of time afterward."

Zhong Mingyi said casually, "If my opponent from earlier heard this, he would probably vomit blood. So, he was just here to warm up with Zhong Mingyi?"

Then Zhong Mingyi found out that these guys were betting on him, and he was instantly annoyed.

"What?! You guys are betting on me? No way! I'm getting a free meal too!"

Zhong Ming spoke up immediately.

None of them were short of a meal, but they would definitely take advantage of any opportunity to freeload, so after the morning's half-day competition ended, they went to eat.

In the afternoon, there was also a match between Bai Yao and Long Xiao. Bai Yao was under slightly more pressure as he was a substitute player on Carlos's team.

It can only be said that Bai Yao's luck seems to be a little worse than Lin Xuan's; he might just have to call GG right away.

Both the Carlos team and the Chinese team are seeded teams, and their substitutes are definitely very strong. So even though Bai Yao hasn't shown any signs of nervousness yet, you can tell that he is actually quite nervous.

Chapter 588 Prayer Prayer

Based on Bai Yao's special luck, Lin Xuan also gave Bai Yao a tactical analysis in the afternoon.

Fortunately, once Pokémon battles are involved, Bai Yao seems to have a complete breakthrough in his thinking, but he is completely unusable in other situations, which is quite absurd.

“At first… I thought you could just send in Babu Tubo.”

After studying his opponent for a while, Lin Xuan immediately spoke, and Bai Yao quickly nodded in agreement.

"Is it because the opponent uses that Gyarados a lot of the time?"

"That's right, this guy always likes to send out Gyarados first, but there are other reasons as well."

Lin Xuan took a sip of water and spoke slowly.

It's normal to encounter the same Pokémon in the World Championships, and it's even possible for trainers on the same team to use the same Pokémon.

There are just too many trainers here, and there are only a little over a thousand Pokémon at most. After excluding some special legendary Pokémon and non-final evolutions, very few remain.

In addition, weak Pokémon are rarely captured or trained by powerful trainers, so those that can be used in battle are basically Pokémon with strong talent and potential.

The simplest example is pseudo-legendary Pokémon. Didn't Lin Xuan's opponent send out two pseudo-legendary Pokémon in a row?

Lin Xuan's team has, to some extent, increased the diversity of Pokémon in the competition.

Not only does it feature Pokémon like Eevee and Momonga, which are relatively rare to encounter, but it also has Naganadel.

Lin Xuan thought that no one else could probably pull out another Mandibles Needleosaurus, right?

Lin Xuan made this analysis for Bai Yao because Babu Groundhog is an extremely terrifying Pokémon in singles battles.

Because this guy has a terrifying and abnormal skill—the Prayer of Resurrection!

Even if one of your Pokémon has lost its ability to battle, you can use this skill to help it get back on its feet.

The reason Babu Tubo was chosen to go first is that he will eventually be taken back and the Prayer of Resurrection will be used. It is very important to ensure that Babu Tubo's condition is maintained and that the Prayer of Resurrection is not interrupted.

Lin Xuan then spoke with Bai Yao at length, but mostly it was just advice; the specifics would have to wait until the actual battle.

After saying this, Lin Xuan quickly went to the arena with Bai Yao. Bai Yao's next match was about to begin, and Lin Xuan definitely had to go and cheer her on.

However, Lin Xuan and his group were stopped halfway there. It wasn't due to any malicious intent, but rather—

"Hello, we are reporters from Huaguo News Agency. Do you have time to participate in our interview, Lin Xuan?"

Lin Xuan was taken aback. An interview? At this time?

Lin Xuan did have time, but she was eager to go in and watch the game.

But directly refusing doesn't seem like a good idea, so...

Before several reporters' eyes, for some unknown reason, Lin Xuan's body slowly faded and then suddenly disappeared.

Eh? Where are the people?

Turning around, I noticed that Bai Yao seemed to have disappeared as well. Had she run away?

"Superpowers are still useful, much more useful than my Aura."

Lin Xuan and Bai Yao appeared in the players' seats. Lin Xuan would complain about this almost every time it happened, and Ibrahimovic was completely used to it.

Lin Xuan noticed that there were more than just these two reporters behind him. If it was just one interview, it would be fine, but if there was a constant stream of reporters... it would be too troublesome!

So Lin Xuan chose the simplest method?

For interviews and such, find me first!

"I think you're going to trend on social media after this."

Zhong Ming rolled his eyes at Lin Xuan and said that he had also seen what happened just now. The main thing was that Lin Xuan and his team made quite a grand entrance, after all, Lin Xuan was considered a star player in this World Championship.

Because of the strong demand from Chinese audiences, even viewers from other countries couldn't help but notice Lin Xuan!

In fact, Lin Xuan didn't like that. He preferred to keep a low profile, or rather, to make a fortune quietly.

If no one pays any attention to you, then no one will study you.

"Then I'll leave first!"

Bai Yao waved to Lin Xuan and the others, and soon appeared on the battlefield.

Then the player standing opposite—Lin Xuan didn't recognize him until he appeared. Wasn't this one of the players from Carlos's team when Lin Xuan and Bai Yao were about to go out to eat and encountered the two teams arguing?

I didn't notice it when I looked at the photos before. I can only say that with photos, you should ultimately judge things by the actual objects.

"You seem to have a lot of confidence in her?"

Zhong Mingyi glanced at Lin Xuan. Originally, this kind of tactical arrangement before the battle should have been done by Zhong Mingyi, but he soon realized that... he seemed to be of little use.

When listening to his instructions, Zhang Shouqing would only nod and agree. Although this was partly due to the fact that the opponent was indeed weak, Zhong Ming didn't think that the guy would be willing to listen to him more when the opponent was stronger next time.

As for Chu Jingyun, Zhong Mingyi felt he knew him quite well. Although he seemed to care about nothing, he was actually more proud than anyone else, and he seemed to have a lot to worry about in terms of tactical arrangements.

The only one among all the contestants who might seem to have a problem is Bai Yao. But this guy is usually unreliable, but he can perform like a god when it comes to battles. Plus, he has Lin Xuan as his strategist, so he doesn't need to do anything himself.

This led to his position as captain...

Am I being sidelined by Lin Xuan?

Zhong Ming suddenly had a thought: it seemed that the people in the team, for some time now, seemed to listen to Lin Xuan more than he did.

Bai Yao goes without saying, and Jiang Quan is even closer to Lin Xuan. In the morning, when they were sitting in adjacent seats, the two of them were sending messages on QQ with a distance of only one meter between them.

Zhong Mingyi was completely dumbfounded.

Long Xiao also seems to be closer to Lin Xuan, mainly because of Lin Xuan's relationship with the Yu Long family.

Cheng Si goes without saying; she was Lin Xuan's fan before.

Zhang Shouqing, on the other hand, seemed completely indifferent to everything. Fortunately, he was the type who ignored both of them.

Damn! I feel like I've really been sidelined!

"Absolutely! Trust me, we'll win this one!"

Lin Xuan appeared quite confident, and her hope for Bai Yao was to help her advance to the main competition.

As for her subsequent achievements, Lin Xuan stopped thinking about them.

However, it's important to understand that even just making it to the main competition is enough to demonstrate Yao Ming's ability.

The eight seeded teams, even considering only the strongest players, have a total of thirty-two players, while the main tournament has a total of sixty-four slots, which is equivalent to a reduction of half.

In this situation, just making it to the main competition is good enough.

Therefore, Bai Yao must win every possible match before encountering an opponent he truly cannot beat, in order to have the greatest chance of entering the main tournament.

However, Lin Xuan quickly noticed that Zhong Mingyi seemed a little off, and soon asked:

"What's the matter with you?"

"It's alright, it's alright, let's keep watching."

Zhong Ming shook his head, and Bai Yao's match was about to begin.

Just like when Lin Xuan and Bai Yao discussed it before, the opponent sent out Gyarados as their first Pokémon, while Bai Yao sent out Groundhog, which gave them a huge advantage.
