Chapter 91 Semi-Finals
Sun Rui was a little annoyed.
He hadn't felt this way for many years.
He remembered that when the general got into trouble, his heart was filled with endless self-blame and anger.
It was a particularly strong feeling of powerlessness.
Like a powerful and irritable lion trapped in a cage.
Even after breaking through to the Grandmaster realm, he still felt like a waste.
This feeling lasted for a long time, and it was not until many years later that his state of mind gradually calmed down.
Especially in the years since he returned to Baihua City, he became more and more peaceful.
This kind of crisis is fraught with danger for others, but for him it is not much different from a nursing home.
Cultivating his body and mind, he was calm as a mess.
Fortunately, the general finally recovered, otherwise he was really afraid that in a few years, his sharpness would be completely worn out.
At that time, he might really become a retired old man who grows flowers, plants and fishes every day.
So what can make him embarrassed in a place like Baihua City?
Really nothing.
This city is too small in his eyes!
It was so small that he could see the bottom of Baihua City at a glance, just like looking at a bowl of clear water.
But now, he knew he was wrong.
He was wrong to an outrageous degree.
He underestimated this city and the people in it.
As expected, cats have their ways and mice have their ways.
A mere gangster in the north of the city, guarding such a small city, actually played so many tricks for him!
The methods used were not new, but it was amazing to be used by someone like Wang Ermaizi.
What a talent!
After reporting to the general, Sun Heng was also a little surprised.
It was just like adults would not pay special attention to the world of children.
One day, I suddenly found out: Huh? The little guy was out of my sight! Huh? He was actually doing this kind of thing... How unexpected!
Wang Ermaizi's social relations had long been sorted out by Sun Rui.
There are some insiders in the city guards, including some middle-level ones, who have been corrupted and bribed over the years; there are also some people in the city lord's mansion who are brothers with him and have close private contacts; there are also many of his retainers in the city hall, who are guests of honor in his mansion on weekdays.
These are actually nothing, most of them are the type that will flee when danger comes.
Only a few are too tightly tied to him, like grasshoppers on a rope.
These people can't escape from Sun Rui's palm. He and City Lord Guan have already secretly discussed that when the net is closed, they will catch them all in one net.
City Lord Guan has also suffered from this group of parasites for many years, and it is naturally a blessing to have the Sun family take the initiative to help.
Everything is ready, the net is closed, but Wang Ermaizi was not caught.
This made Sun Rui not only a little frustrated and angry, but even felt a little weird.
That guy... just a small gangster, how did he have this kind of vigilance that only he and the general have?
Too alert!
If such a person joins the army, his achievements may not be worse than his!
He had already boasted in front of Xiaobai, and now it seemed that he could only temporarily strengthen the protection of Xiaobai.
Otherwise, if something really happened, he would not be able to forgive himself.
…
…
After a night of adjustment, Bai Muye finally recovered completely and became the handsome young man full of energy again.
He did not take the initiative to cause trouble, and he was never afraid of trouble when he got into trouble!
He had a pocket of various talismans and passively activated defense talismans. As long as he did not encounter a terrifying existence at the master level, there was nothing to worry about.
The next afternoon, after driving to the competition center and meeting with several other companions, everyone seemed to have temporarily forgotten the previous unpleasantness.
The team that Sun Zhuangzhi was in was still sitting in the corner very low-key. It was difficult to find the kind of spiritedness that belonged to the semi-final team from them.
Even Xiaopeng and Dong Li in the live broadcast room sighed a little, the adult team was different, so stable!
"Let's guess the result of tonight's game?" Xiaopeng habitually brought up the topic.
"I still believe in Xiaobai's team." Dong Li pushed the glasses frame on his nose and said calmly.
"Brother Dong, you are blindly trusting and too optimistic!"
Xiaopeng teased, and then said: "Let's compare the strength of both sides... The main players of No. 1 Middle School have always been very stable, Liu Zhiyuan, Xiaobai, Ji Caiyi, Shan Gu, among which, except Xiaobai, the other three have greatly improved their strength in a short period of time."
"Yes, Liu Zhiyuan and Ji Caiyi have been promoted to level 6, Shan Gu has been promoted to level 5, and Xiaobai... I can't see much change, and his talisman seems to be valid for about one second." Dong Li added: "But the reason why the talisman master is so scary is that even if you only give him one second, he can give you a huge surprise!"
Xiaopeng took over the conversation: "We will wait and see whether Xiaobai will continue his legend in this game. Now let's look at the other team. To be honest, their strength has skyrocketed a bit exaggeratedly, which is surprising! Archer Sun Zhuangzhi, level 7; Shield Warrior Leng Dawei, level 7; Shield Warrior Li Shitou, level 7; Archer Jiang Lele, level 6. This is the configuration of three high-level spirit warriors! From the perspective of paper strength, they have even surpassed the previous team of Wanxiong! Just looking at the paper strength, they can completely crush Xiaobai's team. Next, let's analyze it from the experience of both sides..."
In the lounge, Wanxiong's team and Baihua Spirit Warrior University team have also arrived.
A group of people are watching Xiaopeng and Dong Li's analysis on the light screen.
In the analysis, Xiaopeng expressed his concern about the chances of Bai Muye's team winning-
Except for the advantage of having a talisman master, the others are really not as good as them.
No matter the paper strength or combat experience, there is no advantage.
Xiaopeng is really not talking nonsense. As a senior commentator, he has seen too many games.
Many times, the talisman master can indeed control the game and have the ability to decide the outcome. But if the gap in strength between the two sides is too large, then the role that the talisman master can play is also limited.
Sun Zhuangzhi sat there quietly, and there was no abnormal expression on his face.
But he was not calm deep in his heart.
He knew who these teenagers were.
This knowledge does not only refer to the recognition of them in the game.
He knew that these teenagers had a very good relationship with his ex-girlfriend, Guo Hongyue, the woman he still remembers today.
He also knew that these teenagers had a conflict with Master Ma because of Guo Hongyue!
He also knew that they even opened a super large store for her in the center of Baihua City, but it was smashed by Master Ma's people... Master Ma is still awesome!
He knew all these things.
He also knew that even if these teenagers had a particularly strong background, the families behind them would definitely not want to push Master Ma to a dead end.
Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. If Master Ma is really pushed to a corner, the fish will die and the net will be broken, and the ones who will suffer in the end will definitely be those families.
The son of a rich family cannot sit in the hall, which big family is willing to perish with a gangster leader?
So Master Ma is still the omnipotent Master Ma!
Sun Zhuangzhi thought to himself: After tonight, we can completely trample this magical team under our feet. By then, Dawei, Shitou, Lele, and I... will be truly famous! What is Xiaobai? Good-looking? Haha, when you become a fool, you will be so handsome! Poor and pathetic little brat, you still don’t know how terrible you have provoked, right?
Sun Zhuangzhi couldn’t help but curl up the corners of his mouth slightly, and he subconsciously glanced at Bai Muye over there.
But he saw Bai Muye looking at him and smiling slightly.
I have to admit that the damn smile of this boy is really charming!
He looks so damn good!
No matter how much Sun Zhuangzhi reminded himself that this person is annoying, he still unconsciously developed a faint liking for him in an instant.
But this good impression disappeared the next moment.
Because Bai Muye raised his right hand very secretly and gently stroked his throat.
That particularly handsome smile looked extremely evil again!
Damn!
Sun Zhuangzhi suddenly took a deep breath and frowned.
He was a little irritated!
He was not a person who was easily irritated, but now he had to admit that he was very angry, no, very angry!
Very good, very good, I didn't feel any guilt in the first place.
Now, it's gone.
Bai Muye's action was hidden and passed in an instant, and even several companions around him didn't notice it.
But it was seen by another person, Mu Xi.
Seeing that Bai Muye, who had always been very low-key and humble, actually made a throat-cutting gesture to the person who was about to become his opponent on the field, Mu Xi was particularly surprised.
In his impression, Bai Muye was not a person who liked to provoke!
It seems that... time really changes a person.
Mu Xi shook his head in his heart: He actually swelled up too.
Ding!
The sound of the game about to start sounded.
"Please enter the virtual warehouse and prepare for the game."
Bai Muye stood up, not looking at the four people opposite him. His upright posture was enviable, and he walked towards the competition room with his head held high.
Semi-finals, here I come.
