Master of Trading Star Card Game

Chapter 163 Birthday

According to the training arrangement made by Chen Qianlin, in the afternoon, Xie Mingzhe was supposed to challenge his teammates one-on-one, but today is Tang Muzhou's birthday, so he took half a day off with his master.

Tang Muzhou took Xie Mingzhe to his residence on the grounds of "discussing something with his junior brother". After delivering the gift, Xie Mingzhe asked, "Senior brother, what do you want to discuss with me?"

It's hard for Tang Muzhou to say that this is just an excuse to lie to the master. I actually abducted you home to spend time with you alone.

Facing Xie Mingzhe's suspicious gaze, Tang Muzhou smiled slightly, and casually picked up a topic and said, "I want to know how your club is progressing now? Is there any need for help?"

"Master has just matched the card group for team battles recently. We are practicing the operation of new cards. The coordination of team battles is more troublesome. You need to practice more." Xie Mingzhe asked curiously, "Brother, how did you practice at the beginning?" In a team fight?"

"There is a team mode for the qualifying competition, and many of them are teams composed of private experts. If you cooperate with the initial team battles, you can go to the team ranking." Tang Muzhou paused, and added, "In addition, we also have a player who privately The group was built, but the review of the alliance group is stricter, and when you officially register as a professional player, I will drag you to the group, and then find other clubs to make appointments for practice matches."

"For the practice match, everyone won't come up with the actual lineup, right?" Xie Mingzhe asked.

"Well, a lot of core cards will be replaced, so as not to expose the tactics in advance. The practice match is just to train awareness." Tang Muzhou said, "Have you selected the base of your club? The place where you live now is a studio converted from Master's house , will it be too crowded?"

"It's really a bit crowded. The dormitory is a double room. Every meeting has to be in the dining room, and there is no separate meeting room." Xie Mingzhe sighed and said, "Brother Chen has been asking the agency to find a house, but I haven't found one yet. .”

"Here in the imperial capital, it's really hard to find a house with a suitable location and price..." Tang Muzhou was silent for a moment, and then suggested, "Well, I'll also help you pay attention, I have a cousin who is in the real estate business, and I know him There are a lot of people, maybe he can help, I will ask him to ask, if there is any news, I will tell you."

"Well, then I would like to ask Brother to help me find out."

In the bustling capital, it is really troublesome to find a place with convenient transportation and reasonable price as a club base.In addition, Brother Chen is usually busy with card making and training, so the job of finding a house was entrusted to an intermediary company, but there was no good news from the intermediary.

Xie Mingzhe heard from his master that the Tang family is quite powerful in the imperial capital. Tang Muzhou went very smoothly when he first established Fenghua. He must have an advantage over himself in terms of connections. It would be great if he was willing to help.

"Don't worry, I'll help you find a solution for this matter. After all, I know more people than you and Chen Xiao." Tang Muzhou looked at him and asked softly, "In terms of price, do you have a mental budget? It's renting a house Or buy a house?"

Xie Mingzhe thought for a while and said, "Let's rent it first, it's too expensive to buy."

Xie Mingzhe also checked the housing prices in the imperial capital, and they are even more terrifying than Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen in the earth age. They want to build a club base, not only must there be a dormitory for everyone, but also a separate meeting room and training room, with an area of ​​at least [-] square meters , Such a big house is estimated to cost hundreds of millions of crystal coins to buy at one time, which is really not allowed economically.

It might be cheaper in remote suburbs, but in that case, Qin Xuan, Yu Ke and Xie Mingzhe will have trouble going to school in the future.

Xie Mingzhe and Chen Xiao also discussed before that it is best to rent the team base in an urban area, close to the school, so it will be more convenient for going to school or playing games in the future.It's a pity that it is really difficult to find such a big house in the urban area, and Chen Xiao is also very worried about this matter.

Tang Muzhou thought for a while, and said: "If you want to rent, I suggest renting an office building. Many large clubs in the league rent several floors of office buildings, because they have to consider the club's future expansion. You are just starting now, and there are not many people, but Nirvana The club will definitely develop better and better in the future, so let’s make some preparations in advance.”

Xie Mingzhe thinks what the senior brother said is very reasonable. Since they decided to manage the Nirvana Club as a business, they should also have some foresight. They can't rent a house that is too small to make do with it, and move again after a year. It is better to get it in place once and decorate the base .The base is the face of a club, and if the environment is good, it will attract more experts to join in the future.

Thinking of this, Xie Mingzhe said: "How about I discuss it with Brother Chen now."

Tang Muzhou nodded: "Well, ask him if he would like to rent an office building. If so, I happen to know a friend who might be able to help."

Xie Mingzhe was overjoyed, and immediately sent a video call to Chen Xiao, conveying Tang Muzhou's meaning.

Sitting next to Xie Mingzhe, Tang Muzhou expressed his willingness to help.

Chen Xiao smiled and said, "Muzhou, I'm really not used to you being so kind all of a sudden."

Tang Muzhou raised his eyebrows: "Could it be that in your eyes, I am a bad person?"

Chen Xiao said meaningfully: "Anyway, he is not a purely good person."

Tang Muzhou: "..."

Xie Mingzhe knew that they had a good relationship in private, Brother Chen was obviously joking, so he didn't take Chen Xiao's words seriously, and said bluntly: "Brother Chen, we have been worrying about the base, isn't it good that brother is willing to help? I think senior brother's contacts are much more reliable than intermediary companies, why don't we ask him to help us inquire."

Chen Xiao put away the joke, looked at Tang Muzhou and said, "Okay, then I will leave this matter to you. If you really find a suitable office building, I will thank you another day."

Tang Muzhou smiled and said, "No thanks. If it weren't for Master, I wouldn't have become a professional player. Since Master decided to come back, I should just help you out."

Even if he didn't like Xie Mingzhe, Tang Muzhou would help him out of his master's sake.It's just that the Nirvana Club has people they like, and they will be more active in helping them.

A stone in Xie Mingzhe's heart finally fell to the ground.

Although there is no definite news yet, it is very strange that Xie Mingzhe just believes that Tang Muzhou will do this well, probably because this man has never let him down.

***

After discussing about the base, Xie Mingzhe wanted to go back to the club, but Tang Muzhou stopped him and said, "Stay here for dinner. After dinner, we'll go to the game together."

Xie Mingzhe was very puzzled: "There is a game tonight, don't you guys need to practice this afternoon?" He was worried that he would disturb the training of his seniors, so he wanted to go back early.

"No training on the day of the competition. This is Fenghua's rule. Sister Xue is also afraid that the players will be under too much pressure. In terms of tactics, we have already arranged them last week. Everyone knows how to fight, so don't worry too much." Tang Muzhou said with a smile , "I am quite confident about the ruling."

"What kind of tactics are you going to use?" Xie Mingzhe couldn't help being curious. Recently, he was also learning command awareness, and he only learned a little bit, so he happened to discuss it with his senior brother.

"The Judgment has always liked the style of head-to-head fighting. No one can beat Lao Nie when playing head-on. We can only slow down the pace and control the field. Tonight's game is likely to become a bladder game." Tang Muzhou said.

In e-sports, the so-called "bladder game" is the kind of slow-paced game that drags on for too long, and the players' bladders can't stand it, and they want to go to the bathroom so much.Xie Mingzhe has watched some LOL games before, and some exaggerated bladder games can last for an hour.

Unexpectedly, Star Card World also has the term "bladder game". Xie Mingzhe couldn't help laughing, and said: "Then I am quite looking forward to it. The slower the pace of the game, the more details will be added. I will definitely watch it carefully tonight."

Seeing him laughing, Tang Muzhou felt his heart beat lightly like a hammer, and his heart beat faster.The little junior brother's smile is sunny and handsome, it really looks better the more you look at it, I really want to press him against the wall and kiss him until he can't speak.

Xie Mingzhe found that his senior brother's eyes were very deep, he kept staring at himself, and couldn't help wondering: "What? Did I say the wrong thing?"

Tang Muzhou withdrew his gaze and said, "No. I was thinking, this afternoon is just free, so you should take this opportunity to rest for half a day. Let's go to the supermarket to buy some ingredients, and how about cooking at home? You should try your brother's cooking too."

Xie Mingzhe stared straight at his eyes: "Can you still cook?"

Tang Muzhou said: "My mother's cooking is very delicious. She said that if she finds a wife in the future, she will gain a lot of points if she knows how to cook. She forced me to learn cooking from her since I was a child, and I also learned some home cooking. It’s just that I’m usually too busy to cook.”

Xie Mingzhe couldn't help giving Tang Muzhou's mother a thumbs up: "Your mother is very far-sighted, and being able to cook is really a plus. The girls I know especially like boyfriends who can cook."

Tang Muzhou thought, boys should also like boyfriends who can cook, right?

The two came to the supermarket inside the community together.This community is a high-end residential area, and the supporting supermarket only provides services to the owners of the community. Although the ingredients are a bit expensive, they are very fresh.Tang Muzhou walked in front pushing the shopping cart, Xie Mingzhe followed him, and when the two came to the vegetable section, Tang Muzhou leaned over and whispered, "You can pick whatever you like, I can cook all these vegetables."

The man's voice slid over the eardrums, low and pleasant, like the warm notes played by a cello.

Xie Mingzhe didn't think there was anything wrong with two men going to the supermarket together. He happily picked out a lot of dishes he liked, which Chi Qing didn't usually cook. Tang Muzhou looked at him actively choosing food, and his eyes were more gentle.

If one day, I am really with Xie Mingzhe, go to the supermarket together every day when I am free, cook at home, and see his satisfied expression when he eats delicious food, I will also be very happy.It seemed like a good day for the kind of long-term flow of water.

Although he is still very young, Tang Muzhou feels that his mentality is a bit like a retired old man.

He hurriedly stopped thinking about it, and took Xie Mingzhe to pick out some meat products.

Xie Mingzhe also insisted on going to a nearby dessert shop to buy a small cake. Although Tang Muzhou didn't like sweets, but Xie Mingzhe offered to buy him a birthday cake, of course he would not refuse.

After returning home, Tang Muzhou rolled up his sleeves and started cooking. Xie Mingzhe was beside him helping to wash the vegetables. He occasionally looked back at each other, and his senior brother always had a smile in his eyes.

He looks in a good mood today, probably because of his birthday.

The man wearing an apron and cooking at home is so handsome that he can shoot a kitchen advertisement.If his fans saw him like this, would they line up to marry Tang Shen?Tang Muzhou has good looks, good temper, considerate and gentle, his future wife will be very happy...

Thinking of this, Xie Mingzhe couldn't help but startled, a strong sense of resistance suddenly emerged in his heart.Xie Mingzhe felt uncomfortable when he thought of a girl standing beside Tang Muzhou all day long.He frowned, quickly ignored this strange imagination, and asked pretending not to care, "Brother, do you have a girlfriend?"

Tang Muzhou looked back at him and said, "I've never been in a relationship, how about you?"

Xie Mingzhe rubbed his nose embarrassedly: "Me neither."

The corners of Tang Muzhou's lips curled up slightly, and he said, "Don't worry, you are still young, so you should focus on your career. Only when a man establishes a career and then a family can he give the other party more stable living conditions."

Xie Mingzhe nodded: "I think so too."

The two looked at each other and smiled, Xie Mingzhe suddenly felt his heart beating faster, and immediately looked away guiltily.Fortunately, Tang Muzhou didn't ask too much. He took the steamed fish out of the pot and put it in the restaurant, and then started cooking.

His movements were very skilled, and he cooked a sumptuous dinner in a blink of an eye.After the table was full, Tang Muzhou asked Xie Mingzhe to sit down first. He turned around and brought a bottle of red wine from the wine cabinet, poured two glasses, and handed a glass to Xie Mingzhe.

Xie Mingzhe asked: "You have a game at night, is it okay to drink?"

Tang Muzhou raised his goblet and said, "It's okay to drink a little red wine, it won't affect the speed of reaction. Today is my 24th birthday. I'm very happy that you can accompany me. Let's drink some red wine to celebrate."

Xie Mingzhe felt relieved when he heard what he said, and toasted with him.

This is the first time Xie Mingzhe went to someone's home to celebrate his birthday.

The delicious food on the table, the warm lighting above his head, the red wine in the glass, and the gentle smile of the handsome man in front of him all made him a little dazed, and he always felt that the atmosphere was too ambiguous, like...

It's like a couple celebrating their birthday together.

This thought startled him a lot, and his cheeks couldn't help but feel a little hot - he really deserves to be damned, Tang Muzhou helped him with such good intentions, yet he was thinking wildly.Dare to hit my senior brother's idea, is it worthy of my conscience?

Xie Mingzhe rubbed his temples to calm himself down, and focused on the food.

To be honest, Tang Muzhou's cooking skills are really good, every dish is very delicious, Xie Mingzhe was so satisfied with eating, his eyes narrowed happily, Tang Muzhou couldn't help thinking of spreading his belly after eating and drinking s cat.

Tang Muzhou looked at him tenderly and said, "How does it taste?"

Xie Mingzhe gave a thumbs up: "The level of a professional chef, it's so delicious!"

Tang Muzhou smiled: "As long as you like it. If you have time in the future, you can come to my place often for dinner."

Xie Mingzhe said: "If you say that, then I will not be polite!"

Tang Muzhou thought to himself, you really don't have to be polite, don't say it's just a meal, you'd better stay here and be another owner here.

***

After eating, Tang Muzhou brought Xie Mingzhe to the competition venue.He put Xie Mingzhe outside the venue, and he walked through the player passage. Before parting, Xie Mingzhe said seriously: "Come on, I believe you will win!"

The last time he lost 0:2 to Ghost Prison, Tang Muzhou was ridiculed by black fans for several days. Xie Mingzhe was very angry and hoped that his senior brother could prove himself.

Today's game is a match between the two giants of Fenghua and Judgment, so it goes without saying that the attendance rate on the spot is natural.Chen Qianlin and the others were already waiting in the private room. After Xie Mingzhe walked into the VIP room, Chen Xiao immediately came over and asked, "Have you been staying at Tang Muzhou's house this afternoon?"

Xie Mingzhe nodded: "Well, I came over after dinner."

Chen Xiao smiled and said nothing, and turned to look at the live broadcast screen.

At the beginning of the game, the female commentator said: "Today is actually a special day, our Tang Shen's 24th birthday!"

The male commentator said: "First of all, I wish Tang God a happy birthday! There is a saying in the league called birthday halo. It is said that players who celebrate their birthdays are more likely to win. This is the first time that this year's tenth season will hit a player's birthday. Will God have a birthday aura today?"

The female commentator said: "It's a pity that today's opponent is Judgment, and his strength is also very strong. The birthday halo may not be effective!"

At 07:30, the players came out on time, and Tang Muzhou put on his team uniform with a smile on his face.

The explanation said: "It seems that God Tang is in a good mood for his birthday today!"

This radiant look is indeed in a good mood.

Fans also feel that today's Tang Muzhou is different from usual.Usually he also likes to keep smiling, but it's just a superficial demeanor, but today's smile seeped into his eyes, and he kept smiling when talking to his teammates...

How happy is he? !

Tang Muzhou, who was happy, was unambiguous at all during the game, and his command was very calm.

Fenghua used vines to control the field today, and the verdict is still a frontal attack.

Sure enough, as Tang Muzhou said, today's game has become a "bladder round", and the results of the two rounds took half an hour.

In a crucial attack, Tang Muzhou blocked Judgment's firepower in seconds, and counterattacked in an all-round way with ingenious hallucination field control, winning the game without any risk, and a beautiful 2:0 victory!

Being able to make the verdict 2:0, those black fans who questioned Tang Muzhou before finally shut up.

Xie Mingzhe watched the two games carefully. The senior brother commanded really well today, with almost no loopholes, perfect field control teaching.

However, this does not prove that Lao Nie is weaker than his senior brother.

In the current team match, the scores of several big clubs are very interesting. The Fenghua 2:0 ruling, the ruling 2:0 Ghost Prison, and the Ghost Prison 2:0 Fenghua, forming a strange cycle of restraint, because the clubs at the beginning of the regular season The lineup is just testing the waters, and it is normal for the score to fluctuate.Everyone will give it their all in the playoffs.It is still unknown how many places Fenghua can take this season.

Nirvana's future team battles are also unknown, but Xie Mingzhe will keep his feet on the ground and learn to command step by step.

It's also time to gather your teammates for a training match.
