Chapter 127: Back to No. 1, the Playoffs Begin!
Xu Mo didn't quite understand Rita's intentions.
But that doesn't affect him from playing soy sauce.
Anyway, it won't take more than a few minutes to visit the EDG base, and you can come back to score points after you get it done quickly.
First snatch back the first place at the top of the canyon and keep the prize money of 5,000 per day.
The three of them walked in the corridor on the second floor in turn, and Ah Guang looked back at Rita and said with a smile:
"Rita, I'll take you to the gym at our base first."
Rita nodded and smiled, "Okay." ”
So, the three of them began to walk to the fourth floor.
Ah Guang walked in the front, Rita walked in the middle, and Xu Mo followed in the back.
When going up the stairs, Xu Mo would always casually glance at Rita in front of her, with tights and skinny jeans completely outlining her graceful figure.
Of course, Xu Mo, as a decent gentleman, didn't keep staring at others, only looked at them a dozen times.
However, Xu Mo didn't seem to realize that Rita in front of him had already turned around and noticed him.
"Isn't it pretty!"
"Beautiful." Xu Mo subconsciously replied.
The next second, his gaze moved slightly upwards, and he saw Rita's slightly playful face.
The question just now came from Rita's mouth.
Ah Guang in front heard the conversation between the two, turned his head and asked in surprise, "What are you looking at?" ”
Without waiting for Xu Mo to answer, Rita spoke, "Look at the scenery." ”
"The view?" Ah Guang turned his head to look, except for the stairwell wall and guardrail, there was not a single hair, "Where is the scenery?" ”
Rita smiled, "Your base staircase is nicely decorated. ”
Ah Guang scratched his head and said with a smile: "Rita, if you like it~"
Xu Mo: ......
Ah Guang's tone made Xu Mo feel a little strange.
I feel a strong smell of licking dogs......
"By the way, Rita, why did you suddenly want to visit our base?" Ah Guang asked again.
"I've wanted to come here for a long time, but I only have time now."
"That's right......," Ah Guang thought for a moment, "what do you like to drink, I'll buy it for you when I'm done." ”
"Brother Guang has good intentions, but I'm not thirsty yet."
"Okay......" Ah Guang was a little disappointed.
The three of them were calm again.
In the corridor, only the sound of footsteps remains.
After this just now, Xu Mo's gaze also converged a little.
But as he walked, he noticed that Rita had walked next to him.
"Brother play, I've admired my name for a long time." Rita tilted her head to look at Xu Mo, and there was a smile in her eyes.
Perhaps because of the contact lenses, Rita's eyes look extremely bright.
Xu Mo smiled: "Do you know my name?" ”
"Uh......" Rita was stunned.
If you think about it, it seems that you really don't know.
I only know that the thing in front of me has a title called "Brother Companion", but this is obviously not his name.
Rita was a little speechless for a moment, why doesn't this product play cards according to the routine at all!
He said that he had admired the name for a long time, shouldn't he also be polite!
How can there be such a chat!
[Gain +5 negative sentiment from Rita]
Rita glanced at Xu Mo resentfully, and when she was about to speak, Ah Guang in front of her suddenly opened her mouth to relieve her: "Brother Companion's real name is Xu Mo." ”
"Xu Mo......" Rita nodded, and said meaningfully, "It's quite deep." ”
Xu Mo didn't answer.
But Ah Guang is very positive: "Yes, I just found out about it. ”
Rita nodded, and said nothing more.
just glanced at Xu Mo again.
She had some complications in her mind.
After seeing the real person, she was almost sure that the famous playmate in front of her was the one she accidentally bumped into at the beginning, that is, her unwarranted scandalous boyfriend.
But she didn't understand.
Why doesn't the playmate brother take care of himself?
This made her unable to ask a lot of questions.
Soon after, Rita was led by Ah Guang to the gym on the fourth floor of EDG.
"This is our gym, it looks okay!" Ah Guang actively introduced.
Absent-mindedly, Rita squeezed out a smile: "Very good. ”
After visiting the gym, Ah Guang took Rita to visit the conference room and cafeteria as usual.
Along the way, though, Rita was a little absent-minded.
Xu Mo, who was thinking about the score, was also fishing, and he just wanted to end this matter quickly.
Fortunately, in less than ten minutes, it was finally over.
The trio returned to the training room again.
Coach Abu was also in the training room, talking to the factory director.
After seeing Xu Mo and the three of them come in, Abu was a little surprised: "I finished reading it so soon?" ”
Rita nodded, "Yes." I'm in trouble with Coach Abu and everyone today, I have something to do temporarily, so I have to leave first. ”
Abu was even more surprised: "Leave so soon? ”
After speaking, he also glanced at Xu Mo.
Xu Mo noticed Abu's gaze and spread his hands slightly, indicating that it had nothing to do with him.
"Don't you play for a while, Rita," Kuang said hurriedly, "There's actually a garden behind the base, I can show you there." ”
"No," Rita smiled and shook her head, "I'll come back next time and treat you to dinner then." ”
Abu nodded: "Okay then, I'll send you." ”
Afterwards, Abu and Aguang sent Rita downstairs together.
As for Xu Mo, he returned to his computer and turned it on again.
As soon as he logged in to the Top of the Canyon account, the factory director ran over and asked, "What's the situation with Rita?" ”
Xu Mo was puzzled: "What's the situation?" ”
"Actually, we already recognized you, you are Rita's rumored boyfriend before, right?"
"So that's the case......" Xu Mo shook his head helplessly, "Actually, ......"
After Xu Mo explained, the factory director reluctantly believed it: "In this way, I thought you had something to do with her." ”
"Not really."
"That's no fun, you play your game." Seeing that he couldn't eat melons, the factory director turned around and returned to his seat.
Xu Mo also started the game queue.
Start scoring points!
When queuing, Xu Mo turned on the live broadcast by the way.
Still on the shark platform.
As soon as the live broadcast started, there were a lot of barrages.
"it, it's a corpse!"
"Nima's, it's finally on the air!"
"Have you forgotten that you are an anchor?"
"The anchor came out and was scolded!"
"I heard that I went to EDG, is it true that I am playing with my brother?"
“……”
Familiar barrage, familiar audience.
Xu Mo also put on headphones and greeted the audience: "Hello sand sculptures! ”
At the same time, he also answered the audience's questions.
For example, whether the news of going to EDG is true, and what position to play when going to EDG.
It wasn't until there were people in line for the game that Xu Mo devoted his attention to the game.
Now although Little Peanut and Topa are ranked higher, their Rank points are only 20 or 30 points more, and they only need two consecutive wins to overtake the two and get back the first place.
Xu Mo was fortunate that he chose two games of Sword Ji in a row, but he didn't encounter any particularly powerful opponents, and finally won both games.
The Rank score successfully overtook Topa and Peanut to regain the first place again.
And only an hour has passed.
Xu Mo took the opportunity to take a look at the live broadcast room and found that the popularity had reached 1.9 million.
And it's still on the rise.
There are also a lot of barrages.
"Grass, how to play with my brother is as easy as drinking water!"
"This is the Top of the Canyon showdown?"
"It's time for Ban Jianji on the other side."
"It's not an exaggeration to say that I also have the hero of Jian Ji."
“……”
Seeing that the live broadcast room was so lively, Xu Mo was also quite satisfied.
Most of these audiences should become their own stable audience groups in the future.
So, Xu Mo started the next game.
He was going to get his Rank a little higher before moving on to other things.
Time flies.
After another few hours passed, Xu Mo's Rank score, which was very lucky, had already rushed to 1901 points.
The second-place Dopa only scored 1,781 points.
The gap of more than 100 points was widened.
This terrifying speed of scoring made Ah Guang next to him envious: "Brother Mo, you are too outrageous, this kind of top qualifying game can win for an afternoon, I hate it so much!" ”
Xu Mo smiled: "Just have hands!" ”
The corners of Ah Guang's mouth twitched: "The soul is light!" In the future, I will ban you Jian Ji and the blind monk every day, see what you play! ”
In Ah Guang's eyes, Xu Mo mainly relied on the two heroes of Jian Ji and Blind Monk to score points.
But Xu Mo didn't care at all.
The reason why he has been playing Sword Ji and Blind Monk is entirely because these two heroes have permanent proficiency, and they are both heroes with relatively strong versions and easy to score.
If these two heroes are really banned, then he can play the others as well.
Not to mention that you can buy experience cards, there are as many as five permanent skilled heroes that you currently have:
Sword Queen, Blind Monk, Lucian, Hammerstone, and EZ.
Anyway, the ranking points are completely sufficient.
After blowing with Ah Guang and the audience, Xu Mo turned off the live broadcast.
Not long after the broadcast ended, Xu Mo saw Abu walk into the training room.
Abu walked straight up to Xu Mo and said, "You come to the office with me." ”
Xu Mo was a little confused, but he still nodded and followed.
After coming to the office, Abu looked at Xu Mo and asked with a serious face, "Do you know why I called you here?" ”
"I don't know." Xu Mo shook his head.
Ah Guang's expression made him a little puzzled.
It feels like there's something going on......
But the next moment, Abu suddenly smiled: "It's because the prize money of your 'First King' has fallen." After you told me this morning, I contacted Riot staff and they asked you to provide your ID and bank card. ”
Xu Mo: ......
He finally understood that Abu was deliberately putting on a face to scare himself just now.
However, Abu's efficiency did surprise Xu Mo a little: "So fast!" ”
"Yes," Abu nodded, "Also, what kind of class ID are you going to use in the future, is it the one you used in RNG before, or do you want to change it?" ”
Xu Mo thought for a while: "Just use Mo, I'm too lazy to change it." ”
"Okay, I'll submit your list to the LPL official tomorrow, and your status in the spring playoffs is our team's substitute list." Abu said, "But it may not be possible to arrange for you to play for the time being, after all, you have just arrived, and the run-in with the team is not enough, I hope you can understand." ”
"I understand." Xu Mo nodded.
Xu Mo's attitude made Abu very satisfied: "You hurry up and deal with all the things that need to be dealt with, we will start playing the game the day after tomorrow, and you, as a substitute, will definitely go together." ”
"Okay."
…………
After leaving Abu's office, Xu Mo went directly back to his room.
He's not ready to continue playing in qualifying.
After playing for most of the day, he is now a little haggard and just wants to rest early.
…………
Early the next morning, as soon as Xu Mo opened his eyes, he received 100,000 yuan.
It is the official bonus of Riot.
At present, there are nearly 200,000 yuan on the card......
Xu Mo was looking forward to the two million signing fees that EDG gave him.
However, the signing fee still has to pay taxes, according to the tax rate, about 45% will be deducted, and the money in hand will only be 1.1 million at that time.
That adds up to about 1.3 million!
That's a lot of money.
However, when he thought that the money was in the magic capital, and he couldn't even buy half a house, Xu Mo's excitement suddenly decreased by half.
There is still a long way to go before reaching the pinnacle of life......
It seems that you still have to work hard to make money!
……
In the afternoon, Xu Mo followed his teammates and coaches to watch the game in the training room.
Today is the day when the LPL Spring Playoffs begin, with a total of eight teams competing for the only ticket to the MSI Midseason.
The eight teams were divided into two groups, A and B.
Group A: RNG, OMG, IG, IM
Group B: WE, EDG, QG, Newbeed
The playoffs will be played with a BO5 knockout round.
The specific format is: A1 and B1 directly enter the second round. A2 and B2 go directly to the first round. A3 and B4 and B3 and A4 play extra matches (A3 and B3 lead by one point). The winner advances to the first round, with B2 in the top half and A2 in the bottom half.
EDG is B2 and goes straight to the first round.
And today, there are two matches respectively - IG vs. NB, QG vs. IM.
The winner between IG and NB will be EDG's opponent tomorrow.
Abu said while watching the game: "Which team do you think IG or NB can win?" ”
The director thought for a while: "It should be IG, this year's IG feels quite fierce, and IG belongs to A3, and it is one point ahead at the beginning." ”
"I think too," Meiko chimed in, "we're going to play IG tomorrow." ”
Abu nodded in agreement.
Then, he suddenly looked at Xu Mo: "Xu Mo, what do you think?" ”
"I think IG will be 1:3NB." Xu Mo bared his teeth and smiled.
Abu frowned: "You mean, IG will lose three games in a row to NB?" ”
"Yes."
"Why?"
Xu Mo thought for a moment: "Intuition. ”
Abou suddenly glanced at him: "Don't be ridiculous, IG's performance this season is not weak, especially with Rookie, it is impossible to lose three games in a row." ”
Xu Mo smiled and did not refute.
He can't say that this is the experience brought by the crossing......
According to the process before the crossing, the first IG of the S7 spring playoffs was slashed by NB in three consecutive games and was unexpectedly defeated.
……
Two hours later.
The IG vs. NB match is finally over.
And the ending is just as Xu Mo predicted.
IG lost three games in a row.
Final score IG1: 3NB.
Abu's eyes fell on Xu Mo in unison.
Abu looked at Xu Mo: "It's really right for you, IG was actually beaten by NB for three games, it's really surprising." ”
The factory director nodded: "Indeed, in this way, we will play NB tomorrow." ”
Abu pondered: "It's okay, we're not afraid to play NB." But I still have to have a meeting, and I'll tell you about the points that need to be paid attention to. ”
Xu Mo wanted to touch the fish, but Abu also specially instructed, "Xu Mo is also together." ”
Xu Mo only followed a few people to the conference room on the fourth floor.
Next, it is to listen to Abu's various data analysis and how to target the strengths and weaknesses of NB players.
It sounds very professional.
It took a full two hours for the meeting to dissolve.
In the later time, it is natural to watch another game of QG against IM.
But this game has little to do with EDG.
Xu Mo fished in the training room for a day, and after playing a few more ranks by the way, the sky also darkened.
Abu came to the training room and instructed, "Let's rest early today and leave for the competition early tomorrow morning." ”
With Abu's reminder, Xu Mo returned to his room early in the morning.
However, to his surprise, he did not receive any official contact from the live broadcast platform all day.
Even Bai Jie, the director of operations of Shark Live, didn't come to contact him.
On the contrary, many big guilds on the two platforms called, but Xu Mo politely refused.
Bell bell bell ......
Suddenly, Xu Mo's mobile phone rang.
He took it out and looked at it, and was happy.
said that Cao Cao Cao arrived, and the person who called, it was Bai Jie, the director of operations of the shark platform.
Xu Mo pressed to turn on.
"Mr. Xu, it's so late, didn't bother you, right?"
The other party opened his mouth and said this.
"No, no." Xu Mo replied.
"That's right, Mr. Xu, after the discussion of our shark platform operation department, we finally decided to give you a signing fee of 2.6 million yuan a year, which is our limit." The other side said, "We really hope to reach a cooperation with you, Mr. Xu." ”
Xu Mo pondered for a moment: "I'll think about it again." ”
"Okay, Mr. Xu, if you have any needs, you can also communicate with us at any time, and we will try our best to meet you."
"Okay."
Doodoo ......
After hanging up the phone, Xu Mo fell into deep thought.
The signing fee of 2.6 million a year is actually not small.
After all, it is only required to broadcast 60 hours a month, which is still more conscientious.
But at present, there is still no movement on the dogtooth platform, and the team will play tomorrow, Xu Mo wants to wait first to see if the 2.6 million given by the shark is really the limit.
Wait for the dogtooth to see if there will be any surprises.
There's no rush on this matter anyway.
After sorting out this matter, Xu Mo washed up and prepared to sleep.
…………
The time of the night always flies.
The next day, when Xu Mo woke up again, it was already eight o'clock in the morning.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Xu Mo got up from the bed, and after opening the door, he found that it was coach Abu standing outside the door.
"Good morning, Coach." Xu Mo said hello.
Abu nodded: "Pack up, get ready to go to the competition." ”
Today is the day when EDG officially plays.
Against NB!
