Chapter 55: The Flower Shop of Happiness
China Warcraft Individual Ranking Tournament, Day 3.
The Dragon Pavilion is still full, and the number of female viewers is much smaller today, because the exit of TopOne has made many MMFans have no motivation to come to watch the game, in contrast, the men are unusually enthusiastic, because the two beauties in the top four will play - Liu Fei VS Chen Ling, Xiao Tian VS Chen Jie.
The competition has not yet begun, but there is already a tense atmosphere in the Dragon Pavilion. The battle between the "Liu Fei's personal guards" and the "Xiao Tian supporters" is getting white-hot, and the two sides sit at opposite ends clearly, holding banners similar to "Liu Fei is the most beautiful" and "Xiao Tian is the strongest", using all the fighting methods that can be used except fists to fight each other.
"Alas, these people, are they here to watch the game or MM?"
In the players' lounge, Qizai looked at the situation in the hall and couldn't help sighing, with an old-fashioned face. The organizing committee has prepared a separate pre-game lounge for each player who enters the top four, so everyone in FF is stained with the light of Xiao Tian and Chen Ling, and they can hide in the lounge without facing the "bloody rain" outside.
"This shows that the influence of e-sports is getting bigger and bigger, and I should be very happy to see this!"
Amin's expression was like singing an aria.
The performances of the two living treasures were very funny, but Xiao Tian, who used to be the most noisy, sat indifferently on the chair, with her chin on her hand, looking out of the window in a daze. Ah Ming and Qizai looked at each other, and had to look at Lao Mao for help.
Lao Mao sighed and spread his hands helplessly.
***************************
Individual Ranking Tournament, Day 2.
The quarterfinals are over. Among the three participants in the FF team, Xiao Xin was eliminated, Xiao Tian defeated Someboy, and Chen Ling defeated Zhu Jun with difficulty after more than 40 minutes of hard fighting. On the other side, Chen Jie defeated Sun and joined hands with Liu Fei to advance. In this way, the semi-finals have become a battlefield between FF and AS.
Although the championship favorite TopOne is missing, the summit matchup between the two major teams is still enough to attract attention, and no one will miss such a match. However, there is one person who is an exception
"Let's go to Xi'an, Captain."
In the Longguan Hotel, at the regular pre-game preparation meeting of FF, Xiao Tian said to Xiao Xin. Although Lao Mao didn't say what to let Xiao Xin do in Xi'an, everyone understood that it must be very helpful to him. It's just that the individual competition is not over yet, and Xiao Xin will not leave the players who are playing and slip away alone.
Sure enough, Xiao Xin shook his head and said categorically:
"You haven't won the championship yet, how can the captain be a deserter at this time!"
Sweet smiled:
"It's all said, the champion must be ours. Don't you believe me? β
Xiao Xin still shook his head:
"Needless to say, I'm not going to leave now."
Xiao Tian does not relent:
"It's going to be the Super League soon, have you forgotten our agreement with that dead pervert?"
Xiao Xin looked up at Xiao Tian suddenly, but he couldn't speak. The agreement between Team FF and Demon Fose: If you win the Super League, you will be eligible to participate in WC3L, and if you fail, you will disband FF. This is a rare opportunity, but also a great test. However, everyone understands that FF would not have been able to win the championship without a TopOne who is in good form. At least, the current Xiao Xin is not enough to lead FF to become China's No. 1 team.
For a moment, the room fell silent. Everyone looked at Xiao Xin, but they didn't know what to say. Suddenly, Xiao Tian stretched out her hand to Xiao Xin, and said with a sly smile:
"Take it."
Xiao Xin took it, and it was a ticket: Beijing-Xi'an.
***************************
"Please Zhang Xiaotian and Chen Jie are ready to go on stage, the game is about to begin."
There was an announcement on the radio in the lounge, Xiao Tian stood up, looked around at the people who were looking at her next to her, and suddenly smiled sweetly:
"Don't worry, everyone, I'm on!"
Looking at Xiao Tian's back drowning in the cheers outside the lounge, Lao Mao sighed:
"What an empathetic and good girl."
Ah Ming was silent for a while, and suddenly muttered:
"The old and the new have changed a little."
"Huh?"
Chen Ling was puzzled, and Ah Ming said:
"In the past, he was like a game machine, he would never hesitate, everything was for the sake of victory, and he would not pay attention to anything else. And now, he will also fail, and he will be cared for. β
Chen Ling smiled indifferently:
"Weak?"
Ah Ming also smiled and shook his head:
"No, that's like a person. A person who plays a game is far more interesting than a competition machine, isn't it? β
***************************
Sian.
From the slave dynasty to the Kaiyuan Dynasty, from the Western Zhou Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, this is an ancient capital that lasted thirteen dynasties, and every inch of its land and every city wall records countless successes and failures and dynastic changes.
It's hard to imagine that such a city full of old history could become the center of today's most emerging sport, esports. With many well-known players and a variety of professional and non-professional competitions in full swing, you can feel that E-SPORT is truly being respected and promoted in Xi'an.
In the taxi, looking at the city wall he had just passed through, Xiao Xin felt the thick historical atmosphere of the ancient city, and forgot about the nightmarish game in Beijing for a while.
"Here we are."
The driver's voice interrupted Xiao Xin's musings.
"Next to it is East Street, over there is the Bell and Drum Tower, here is Kaiyuan, and the most prosperous place in Xi'an is this area."
The driver enthusiastically introduced, Xiao Xin said thank you, pushed the door and got out of the car. In front of me is a small alley, next to a street sign: Powder Alley.
Xiao Xin walked forward, people passing by were in a hurry, and there were restaurants, bars, and clothing stores on both sides of the road.
"Florist, if you are interested, you can go and have a look."
This is Lao Mao's only hint. It's a bit like playing RPG, Xiao Xin smiled dumbly. When he was studying, he liked to play RPG games, and the feeling of reading stories leisurely was very intoxicating. It's just that after becoming a Warcraft player, I can't find that kind of relaxed mentality. Xiao Xin shook his head self-deprecatingly: "Constantly competing, fighting, longing, and losing may be because I'm too impetuous, right?
It's just that, in such an era, who can not be impetuous?
Xiao Xin stopped, and in front of him was a flower shop, and there was a sign at the door - Happy Flower Shop. Different from the surrounding lights, this flower shop is very simple to decorate, walk in the door, you can see roses of various colors and styles, a faint fragrance of flowers lingers around, a happy and warm taste, gradually diffuse.
"Hello, do you want to buy flowers?"
As a gentle and pleasant voice sounded, a girl dressed in simple and generous clothes came over and asked, looking at her appearance, she was about the same age as Xiao Xin, but the calm and serene look on her face made people feel the maturity and peace in her heart.
Surprisingly, when she saw Xiao Xin's appearance clearly, a panicked look suddenly appeared on her face, and in an instant, she lowered her head and frowned slightly, and then sighed as if she had made up her mind:
"You're finally here."
Xiao Xin was shocked and asked as if he had realized:
"You know me?"
The girl had regained her composure and said with a slight smile:
"Hehe, Dad really didn't tell you anything, I really can't help him."
After a pause, she turned and shouted to the back room:
"Husband, he's here, come out quickly."
With a rush of footsteps, a familiar face appeared in front of Xiao Xin's eyes, with a chic and indifferent smile on his face, but there were more vicissitudes and maturity in his eyes.

Xiao Xin exclaimed in surprise. Free smiled and opened his hand:
"Welcome to the Happy Flower Shop!"
