November 13, morning.

"Yo, get up." When Feng Bujue returned from his morning run, Ruoyu happened to be cleaning up the living room.

Soon after Ruoyu moved in, the two agreed to take turns taking care of the housework. But the agreement is the agreement, in fact, Ruoyu does more things, after all, girls love to be clean, and many times she will clean up because she can't stand it.

"It's been up for a while." After hearing Brother Jue's words, Ruoyu continued the matter at hand, and replied without raising his head, "I'm waiting for you to bring breakfast back." ”

"Hehe......" Feng Bujue smiled, "Eat soup dumplings today, you should be careful." ”

There's a reason why he's smiling so hard...... Everyone has one or two things that they are not very good at, such as Brother Jue is not good at tying knots, and Xiao Si is not good at lying; And if it rains...... She doesn't know how to use chopsticks.

Of course, the "not very good at use" here does not mean that she can't hold the dishes, but just ...... Since Ruoyu didn't learn the correct way to hold chopsticks when she was a child, her skills in using chopsticks were slightly worse than ordinary people. There is nothing wrong with normal use on weekdays, but ...... If you come across foods such as tofu and fish balls, which are slippery or easy to fall apart, there are also things like soup dumplings with thin skin and soup inside...... She often gets into trouble.

In fact...... It's not a big problem, but it's still cute in a sense. However, when you show a weakness in front of the eyes of a (cheap) person like Feng Bujue, malicious complaints and teasing must be indispensable.

Who are our brothers? If there is a competition in this world to grab food with chopsticks, he is at least one of the top ten in the world. When he was a student, as long as he was willing, he could make the classmates who shared a table with him not be able to eat a mouthful of meat. Some people even used their hands to fight against him, and in the end, he snatched a chicken leg with chopsticks...... Under such a sense of superiority, how could he not repeatedly complain about this matter.

"Be careful of what?" Ruoyu immediately glared at Brother Jue, "Isn't it just a soup dumpling...... It's a big deal to break the pinch and let the juices run out. ”

"What a pity, isn't the soup dumpling just eating this mouthful of broth?" Feng Bujue showed a sinister smile. "It's better to ...... I'll feed ......."

"You're thinking too much." Ruoyu interrupted before he could finish speaking, "I haven't been fed since I can remember." ”

"So you're twenty-two years old and you still don't know how to use chopsticks?" Brother Jue replied.

"Is a twenty-four-year-old man who can't even tie his shoelaces qualified to say anything about me?" Ruoyu is now good at complaining, and he and Brother Jue are not inferior when they mock each other.

"Hey, hey......" Feng Bujue smiled even more obscenely, "I don't mind if you tie it for me." ”

"That's ......" Ruoyu then snorted coldly, "Hmph...... How about we make a bet? ”

"Oh? How to gamble? "Brother Jue is also interested.

"For a week, I practice chopsticks, and you practice knotting." Ruoyu continued, "After a week, I promise that I can pick up anything you can safely." But you also have to make sure that you can tie the knot I will tie. ”

"This ......" at this moment, I don't feel it...... It's a bit cowardly.

"Scared, aren't you?" Ruoyu asked.

"Hah!" Brother Jue laughed dryly, "I almost forgot how to write the words I was afraid of." He forced himself to look confident, "Bet, bet, you say...... What is the stake? As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately answered, "Oh, I declare in advance, I have to consider the requirements of rolling the sheets and so on. I am a man of integrity. ”

In the next second, before Ruoyu could speak, Assas, who was lying on the sofa, complained first: "In those years of hell~ I have heard and seen many shameless words and deeds, but within the scope of my knowledge...... can mix shamelessness and cheapness so perfectly. It's just you. ”

When Ruoyu heard this, he looked at Assas expressionlessly: "I said...... No matter what, it's my boyfriend, and you make him so unbearable, doesn't it seem that I have a bad eye. ”

"No...... It's not a question of whether the vision is bad or not. Assas replied. It's okay to just look at your face...... But after learning about Feng Bujue's personality, you still chose to date him, and it can only be said that you are also a wonder. She paused, scratching the back of her neck with her paws. Speaking of which...... You're a strange meow indeed. ”

"Hmm......" Ruoyu heard this, pondering for a moment, "then...... The bet is ......"

"Hey!" Brother Jue couldn't help but shout, "All of a sudden, I opened the topic stiffly!" ”

Ruoyu ignored him and continued, "This gamble ...... If I win, unless I'm in a good mood and want to intervene...... Otherwise, you will take care of all the housework from now on. ”

"Huh~ What is the concept of 'from now on'?" Feng Bujue responded, "If we get married in the future, won't I advance decades of labor in advance?" ”

"If you don't dare to bet, just say it." If the rain continues.

"Cut ......" Feng Bujue raised his eyebrows, "That...... What if you lose? ”

"From now on, I'll tie your shoelaces." Ruoyu replied.

"Good! You said. Feng Bujue said loudly.

"Yes, I did." Ruoyu replied calmly.

After a pause for a second, the two said in unison, "One word is a deal!" ”

"Alas......" Assas sighed and shook his head, "What two strange meows~"

…………

A few hours later, at ten o'clock in the morning, the landing space was sealed.

"Hmph...... What do you say about tidying up things in the landing space alone, what do you believe......" As soon as Brother Jue came to the elevator, he began to complain, "Actually, I want to quietly learn the skills of using chopsticks in the game world...... You must be searching for related videos on the touchscreen at the moment! ”

While muttering, he shamelessly opened the web page of a search engine through the touch screen and typed in the words "how to tie the knot".

For the next hour, he ...... with unprecedented concentration and enthusiasm I studied the technique of tying knots. Although he said to Ruoyu before going online, "I'm going online to collect game information", in fact, the two of them did similar things......

Before you know it, an hour (playtime) has passed, after watching a lot of pictures and video tutorials...... Feng unconsciously closed all the web pages, took two steps back, opened his arms, and raised his head to the sky with a movement when the protagonist regained his freedom in "The Shawshank Redemption": "It's so difficult-"

Again...... Everyone has one or two things that they are not very good at.

To make a long story short, after doing those painful moves, Brother Jue finally opened the official website and forum of Dream Company and began to watch information about the game.

At this time, the list of the top eight of the pinnacle S2 has already been released. The names of the eight teams are placed in the most prominent position on the homepage of the official website.

And these eight teams are: [Order] [Gods] [Jianghu] [Red Sakura] [Warring States] [Hell Front] [Scrapwood Alliance] [Mountains and Rivers].

Since no two teams from the same studio made it to the quarterfinals together, and none of the "second teams" made it to the quarterfinals, the list simply omitted teams with the word "first team" in their names.

Overall...... Six of the eight teams are professional teams based in the studio, and two are teams made up of individual players.

This result can be said to have greatly exceeded the predictions of the general audience and various intelligence analysis teams......

In team competitive games, the advantage of professional teams is very large. The professional team sits on the resources of the entire studio, whether it is personnel coordination, item mobilization, pre-match intelligence, ...... All of them are much, much better than those "in the wild" players.

A team of four individual professional players like the [Scrapwood Alliance] can't actually be considered a "professional" team...... The so-called "professional team" does not mean that you can find a few players with professional level to form a team; In addition to the players, there are also a large number of people who are contributing to the team's victory...... It's just that these people's work is carried out outside of the game. The general audience tends to ignore their existence.

However, this time the pinnacle of S2, in the situation of the team competition, in a format where there is almost no fluke...... There were still two non-studio teams that made it to the quarterfinals. This result has once again made the leadership of the major studios aware of the ...... You can't look at a thriller park with the same mindset as you would an ordinary online game.

"At a glance, no team is easy to deal with......" After Feng Buju saw the list, he raised his eyes and muttered.

That being said, he was actually not surprised when he saw the list, because as early as when he saw the list of matchups for the round of 16, he had already predicted which eight teams would advance next. Now the question is...... How these eight teams will match up at the moment.

"Win again...... You'll be able to reach the finals. Brother Jue browsed the web quickly. "The final is played by four teams, so there are a lot of variables, usually ...... Increased variables. This means that the weaker teams will get more opportunities. His gaze shifted slightly, resting on the word [order], "The use of such a mechanism in the final seems to take care of the team outside of [order]......" he paused. "Not only can you play one less round, but it also increases the odds of defeating the strongest team in the open side."

Thinking of this, Feng Bujue has swept every piece of information on the homepage of the official website with a super speed of ten lines at a glance - basically some news that can be known by looking at the headline. Thereupon. He quickly opened the game forums to see what he could get out of there.

As soon as "Huh~" opened the homepage of the competition discussion area, Brother Jue was attracted by a topped "Today's Hot Post".

The title of that post was "Semi-Final All Matchmaking Possibilities and Predictive Analysis".

"Heh......" Feng unconsciously clicked into the post to take a look, and smiled, "So the forum is still very helpful, this post lists all the content I need to do mental arithmetic, saving a lot of trouble...... In this way, you can easily store the list in your head through graphical memory. ”

After that, Feng Bujui completely ignored the part of the prediction of victory and defeat, and quickly wrote down all the "match possibilities" list listed by the opponent (including 28 single combinations and 105 complete matchup lists), and by the way, he checked it, and after confirming that it was correct, he closed the post.

Then, he opened the discussion boards one by one, filtered the information at a very fast speed, and flipped through the posts page by page.

Given the popularity of the event, the number of posts on the forum is predictable. Even though it was a weekday morning and the forums had various mechanisms for filtering spam posts, the number of posts per discussion section was increasing at a rate of at least one per minute.

"Oh? This seems to be a bit interesting......" Suddenly, Brother Jue's eyes stayed on a post with a very eye-catching title - [The "Past and Present Life" of the 818 Waste Wood Alliance].

To be honest, the team that Feng Bujue doesn't want to meet at this stage is the [Scrap Wood Alliance], because among the seven teams that may become opponents, Brother Jue knows the least about this team's intelligence.

Among them...... Naturally, there are also reasons for the layout of the bird. The Wise General is worthy of being a Wise General, and he adopted a similar strategy to [Hell Front] in the preliminary stage, opening up all the privacy protection options. In addition, the people in their team are also very amazing, and many times they achieve victory before the enemy can figure out what the situation is, which makes their game videos, and the information revealed in the videos very limited.

For a man like Feng Bujue, who "has calculated more than seventy percent of the factors that determine victory or defeat before the battle", the lack of information is a very bad thing. Especially when he "knows that the enemy is strong, but he doesn't know how strong the enemy is", it made him feel like he was in his throat and restless.

Relatively speaking, if he really encounters a professional team, he will be able to play with ease, even if it is against [Order] or [Gods]...... Anyway, most of your information is already an open secret, and as long as you have enough data, you can be considered a god...... Brother Jue can also be counted alive and dead.

"I'll take a look......" Feng unconsciously clicked on the post, and found that it was a whole long paragraph, and the font color used the kind of bright purple that can make people blind, he immediately complained, "This person wants to take revenge on society...... Forcibly reduce the durability of the reader's dog eye to zero......"

After all, look at it......

Feng Bujue stared at the unbearable font, and with the mood of investigating intelligence, he read the whole article, and then ......

"What about the cheater!" He wanted to drop a cup or something, but unfortunately he didn't have anything in his hand, "What's this?" No wonder the title reveals a paparazzi style, and the result is just some gossip! Uncle Waste Chai participated in a men's idol group in South Korea when he was young, what's so good about it! It's not like an uncle who has become a sunglasses now! ”

Just as Brother Jue was complaining loudly and viciously, suddenly, a small icon popped up in his social bar...... This is only when a friend sends a message.

Seeing this, Feng Bujue clicked on it almost without thinking. I didn't expect ...... The one who sent the message turned out to be ...... (To be continued......)
