Master of Trading Star Card Game

Chapter 229 Dinner

After the game, Xie Mingzhe was surrounded by reporters in the background. Everyone was full of praise for the two wooden cards Guo Jia and Xun Yu, and also made a very high evaluation of Xie Mingzhe's command.

Xie Mingzhe still maintained a humble and polite attitude to answer questions earnestly. His image in front of the public should not collapse. After all, his hatred in the alliance is too high. If he continues to pull hatred during the interview, it is estimated that it will be difficult for him to get out of the venue alive.

It was not until the end of the interview that Xie Mingzhe saw his senior brother in the waiting room, and he revealed his true nature, excitedly saying: "It's 2-0 against Liushuang City, hahahaha, I didn't even expect this score! Do you think I'm particularly handsome today? ?”

In front of acquaintances, he completely lost his humble and polite appearance just now.If there was a tail behind this smug face, it would probably be up to the sky at this moment.

The little junior brother who asked for praise was particularly attractive in Tang Muzhou's eyes. He walked up to Xie Mingzhe with a smile, and praised without hesitation: "You are indeed handsome today, and the tactical arrangements in the two games are very good. Listen Master said, in these two games, you completed the matching of the card group independently?"

"Hmm!" Xie Mingzhe said proudly, "I came up with these two lineups. Our main trainer is the Guo Jia system, and the Xun Yu system was tested after we won the first round. I also won the second round! It can only be said that Fang Yu did not prepare enough today, and I took advantage of the loopholes, hahaha, 2:0 is super cool!"

"..." I really want to kiss him, but I still have to hold back.Tang Muzhou smiled helplessly, and said, "Bai Xu is about to cry, because if Nirvana beats Frost City 2-0, it will be almost impossible for Star Troopers to enter the playoffs."

"Ahem, Xiaobai, he should have recognized the reality earlier." Xie Mingzhe's excited mood had calmed down a little at this time. He found that Tang Muzhou was the only one in the whole lounge, and he couldn't help wondering, "Where's Master? And Great God Su Yang, I remember Are you with me too?"

"Senior Su Yang took the initiative to invite people from Flowing Frost City and Nirvana to have supper. He and Master will go to find a place first, and I will stay and wait for you." Tang Muzhou gently wrapped his arms around his junior brother's shoulders, "Let's go, let's go there together."

"Wait a minute." Xie Mingzhe looked at him suspiciously, "Great God Su Yang wants to invite people from Frostfall City and Nirvana to have supper, right?"

"Yes."

"Then you Fenghua captain, why are you also joining in the fun?" Xie Mingzhe specially emphasized the word "Fenghua" and asked with a smile, "Or, brother, do you think Nirvana has a bright future and want to betray Fenghua and join our Nirvana? "

"I don't need to rebel." Tang Muzhou said cheekily, "Master and younger brother are both in Nirvana, and I'm also half of Nirvana."

"..." Cengfan Ceng was so aboveboard, and he couldn't find fault.Xie Mingzhe obeyed his divine logic and had no choice but to keep up with him.

When the two walked out of the lounge, they happened to meet Chen Xiao and the three brothers Fang Yu who had just finished the interview. Tang Muzhou told them about Su Yang's treat, and they all went to the reserved restaurant through the back door.

***

Su Yang booked a large private room near the venue. As soon as Qiao Xi and Su Qingyuan entered the private room, they wanted to sit with his twin daughters. As a result, when the two little girls saw Xie Mingzhe, they rushed to Xie Mingzhe and hugged each other. One leg, said: "Brother Ah Zhe!" The other said: "Brother Ah Zhe is mine, don't snatch it!"

Everyone: "..."

Su Yang's two daughters are so cute. Their fleshy faces are so tender that they can almost squeeze water. They have big eyes, double eyelids, high ponytails, and princess dresses. The identical copies make the hearts of a group of boys almost melt. .

But these two like Xie Mingzhe very much, and they are very close to Xie Mingzhe.

Xie Mingzhe squatted down with a smile, rubbed the little girl's head, and said, "Brother, divide it into two halves, each of you will have half, okay?"

Seeing this, Su Yang laughed and said, "My two daughters were still arguing just now. One said Guo Jia was handsome, and the other said Xun Yu was handsome. Thank you, come and comment? Who do you think is more handsome?"

Xie Mingzhe said: "Guo Jia and Xun Yu are both handsome. Sometimes, we don't need to make a choice, we want all the ones we like! My brother will give you both the two physical cards, Guo Jia and Xun Yu, okay?"

The two little girls were taken aback for a moment, and when they realized it, they immediately threw themselves into Xie Mingzhe's arms, expressing that Zhuge Liang, Sun Ce, Zhou Yu, Zhu Bajie, and Monkey King should not be let go—all of them!

These three words are so reasonable, the conflict between the two sisters was immediately resolved.

Xie Mingzhe liked the twin sisters very much, so he hugged them and sat down beside his senior brother.

As a great apprentice, Fang Yu naturally had to go and sit next to the master.However, he was very embarrassed, especially in front of the master, which made him feel a little guilty. After all, it was quite embarrassing to be defeated by Nirvana 2:0 today, so he just called out to the master, and sat next to the master without saying a word.

Since he was usually taciturn, he didn't speak, and everyone didn't notice anything wrong.

But after all, Su Yang knew his apprentice best. Seeing him looking serious and sitting upright, he couldn't help but smiled slightly, leaned into his apprentice's ear and whispered, "I'm sorry for being 2-0? Did you feel that before the game?" Playing Nirvana is easy, no new tactical preparations required?"

Fang Yu's ears turned red when he was told, and he didn't know how to answer.

Su Yang said: "Xie Mingzhe was able to customize Dou E's card for you back then. You should be very clear about his card making talent."

Fang Yu lowered his head in shame: "I was too careless."

Su Yang smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Frostfall City has won the team championship for two seasons, and is the only team championship double in the league. The current points rank No.1 in Group A, and it is steadily advancing into the season. After the game, I think you guys are a little bit drifting? Hurry up and calm down, there is still time."

Fang Yu nodded immediately: "I know, Master."

With so many people in the room, Su Yang naturally wouldn't criticize his apprentice in front of everyone, and deliberately controlled the volume when whispering to his apprentice, so that only each other could hear them.He knew that Fang Yu's tactical awareness was not bad, so he only needed to mention a few words to get Fang Yu to straighten his mind.

In fact, Fang Yu is under a lot of pressure. He has already won the "double championship" in the team competition. It is almost impossible to win the championship again this season. The triple championship has never appeared in the history of the league.It is also because Frostfall City performed so well in the team competition that Frostfall City will definitely be targeted by the entire league in the elimination stage of the playoffs. It is not wrong for him to save more tactics in the playoffs, but It was a bit ugly to be beaten 2:0 today.

Su Yang turned his head and asked Chen Qianlin who was sitting next to him: "For this year's playoffs, the number of admissions has increased to 8 teams, and the two teams will each get 4 teams, right?"

Chen Qianlin nodded: "Well, there were six teams in the playoffs before, and this year the number of places has been increased."

Su Yang just came back recently, and he didn't know much about the reform of the league, so he immediately asked: "The rules of the playoffs are No.1 vs. No.4 in Group A and Group B, and No.2 vs. No.3. ?"

Chen Qianlin looked at Tang Muzhou, who explained with a smile: "No, senior. Because of the regular season's out-of-group round-robin, Group A and Group B would have played two rounds to switch home and away games; while the round-robin round of the group only played one round, so In the playoffs stage, there will be a duel within the group first, that is, the first and fourth, second and third civil wars in Group A. The champion in the group will be determined by elimination, and the same in Group B. Finally, the champion of Group A and the champion of Group B will compete. Fight for the championship."

In the past, 6 teams entered the playoffs, and the "double elimination system" was adopted. The losing team was placed in the loser's bracket, and there was another chance to come back.But this year, the number of teams in the playoffs has been increased, which has made the competition in the playoffs even more cruel. If you lose, you will be eliminated directly, and you will not be given a second chance. If you make a mistake, you may lose everything.

Su Yang sighed: "This kind of rule is really cruel!"

In the regular season, Nirvana and Judgment, Night City, and Temple of the Gods only played one game. In the playoffs, they are destined to fight to the death within the group. Only by winning the championship of Group B can they qualify for the finals.

Chen Qianlin said: "The biggest change in this year's playoffs is not only the competition system, but also the endless mode added to the game rules, you know?"

Su Yang nodded: "I've heard that this is the first time this mode has appeared. There is no card limit for a time limit of 10 minutes. It's all about who has the deeper card pool and who has the stronger formation ability."

Tang Muzhou said: "The playoffs are five rounds and three wins. The two sides switch home and away games. The game mode of the home team can be chosen by oneself. If you are not familiar with it, you can continue to choose the hidden card mode. But if the first few rounds are tied, the final tiebreaker is certain. It will be forced into endless mode."

Everyone has complicated expressions. The alliance has added an endless mode. It will be embarrassing if no one chooses it. That's why the mandatory rule of "the final game will definitely become an endless mode" was added.

Endless mode, limited time of 10 minutes, no limit to the number of cards on both sides, and cards can be summoned at will.

This mode directly removes the stage of bright cards, and there is no distinction between "bright cards" and "dark cards", and it is not possible to arrange and adjust cards in a targeted manner. Instead, all cards are randomly selected.

At the beginning of the game, both sides summon cards at the same time. A new card must be summoned every 10 seconds, otherwise it will be regarded as a passive game. Players must find ways to protect their own cards and kill the opponent's cards as much as possible. The test is simply nightmare level.

First of all, the commander doesn't know the opponent's deck situation at all. The card pool of a big club can easily exceed [-] cards. After the game starts, it depends on the on-the-spot reaction.When you see the opponent calling a certain card, you must quickly think of his next strategy and make a response. Once you make a mistake in your response, it is likely to cause a small group of your own team to be wiped out.

Fortunately, one group wipeout doesn't mean anything, because after the opponent kills you in a wave, you can also summon a large number of cards to wipe out the opponent's group while the opponent's skills are cooling down.

This mode is more intense than the hidden card mode, and the 10-minute card pool battle requires a strong awareness of the formation of troops.Sometimes you can even use your own weak cards to die to replace the skills of the opponent's strong cards, use the "Tian Ji horse racing" strategy, and then summon a wave of strong cards to fight back.

Adaptive, adaptable, this is the core of the endless mode.

Nirvana's current deck is actually not perfect, and it can be dealt with in the hidden card mode. Once it comes to the endless mode of the playoffs, Nirvana's cards are stretched compared to other old clubs.

Clubs such as Fenghua and Judgment have developed for more than five years. How can Nirvana beat the number of cards?

Once the opponent chooses the endless mode, is Nirvana going to lie down and admit defeat?

Xie Mingzhe kept this point in his heart, and planned to discuss it with Master when he went back.

***

Today's dinner hosted by God Su Yang is mainly for making friends with the otaku apprentices and the Nirvana contestants.

The regular season match between Frostfall City and Nirvana has ended, and the two sides each played 2:0, which is considered a tie.Fang Yu also recognized Nirvana's strength from the heart.Since the playoffs are knockout rounds within the group, the teams in Group A and Group B will not meet again unless they reach the finals.

After Fang Yu returned to the club, he reposted the game report of the professional league "Nirvana upset 2-0 against Frost City", and commented: "Nirvana really played well today, Azhe has unlimited potential, and I look forward to what Nirvana will bring to everyone. more surprise."

Master Fang Yu never likes to repost news. He reposted Xie Mingzhe's personal Weibo in the finals last year, and today he publicly praised Xie Mingzhe. The fans were a little confused—could he have a good relationship with Xie Mingzhe?

After seeing the retweet by the other party, Xie Mingzhe also retweeted Fang Yu's Weibo in a face-saving manner, and replied: "Thank you for the compliment, and you all work hard!"

Today's score made Frost City embarrassing. The fans of both sides originally thought that there would be a large-scale scolding battle on the Internet after the game. Everyone was gearing up and preparing lines to mock each other. As a result... Xie Mingzhe and Fang Yu were actually friendly interactive?

The fans were also embarrassed to scold, and turned off their lights one after another, and moved to the forum to discuss which of Xie Mingzhe's character cards had the best appearance.Everyone has their own eyes, and in the end there is no debate about the result. Anyway, when Nirvana releases the physical card, everyone will definitely buy it.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chi Qing opened the pre-purchase channel for character physical cards in Nirvana's online mall——

The number of pre-orders for physical cards such as Zhuge Liang, Guo Jia, Xun Yu, and Monkey King quickly exceeded [-], and the number of pre-orders for the Jinling Twelve Beauties female character deck set a new record for the number of pre-orders for peripheral cards in the entire league!

Fans all said: There must be one card for the male god group, and the beauty deck must also be collected.

If there is another Q version of the pillow, it is natural to have a set.

Ever since I fell in love with Nirvana, the money to buy peripherals has become less and less enough, which is really painful and happy.

Of course, compared to other clubs’ peripheral malls, Nirvana’s mall is relatively small, with not many peripheral products, and the prices are very close to the people, which is one of the reasons why Nirvana’s peripherals sell so well.

But the fundamental reason is that Nirvana's cards are well done.

Color control is only part of it. Most of the fans who buy peripherals are because they love the cards, which includes the card's skill setting and actual combat ability.If Guo Jia and Xun Yu were just war scum with empty skins, they would definitely not be as popular as they are now.

Jin Yue, the technical geek in charge of the Nirvana Mall website program, was sweating profusely, fearing that the traffic would be too high and the mall would collapse; the fat man was excitedly counting the deposit in the background, counting the money until he was soft; Chi Yingying was busy promoting in various forums, Attract more fans to book peripherals...

The management of the Nirvana Guild worked overtime tonight and was very happy.

In the meeting room next door, Chen Qianlin and the four players also stayed up.

It was already 12:30 in the morning, and everyone was still excitedly discussing the next plan.
