Is the person you sculpt as cute as me?

That was a comprehensive discussion thread that brought together all the content and discussions about the Spring Split.

Before, titles were formal and written by sophisticated journalists.

But after the eel's one-on-one match brought panic to the world, the title of the post was changed to a simple and easy-to-understand line:

"The demon god of the old world now appears here."

Everyone knows who they are talking about, and everyone knows what the game was like yesterday, so this one line is enough.

There is a photo attached in the most eye-catching position of the post.

That was the ice magician standing on the top of the iceberg, overlooking the frozen corpses of his enemies that were shattered on the ground.

She held a magic book in her hand, wore a long robe, and was as holy as a god.

The robe was stained a light snowy color, the same color as the icy mist that swirled around her long hair.

The flying ice dust and the surrounding audience transformed into spots of light behind her, disappearing into thin air.

It seems to have been taken by a reporter at the match, and it is an impeccably good photo.

therefore--

It not only exists in forums and discussions among the public, but is even directly quoted everywhere as the headlines of various news reports.

Overnight, the theme of the competition changed from "Who can win" to "Who can beat her."

And everyone knows the answer -

"No one can."

easy to understand.

This was especially true after the opening match between Snake Restaurant and ML4K, when other teams nervously took the field to demonstrate their performance.

"Absolutely no one can."

This no longer constitutes a discussion. Any slight questioning voice on the forum will be suppressed by people as "fools" or "inferiors who cannot afford the Internet fee", because they undoubtedly have not watched the game or even the highlights.

That's a different level - even a different dimension.

but--

"To be honest, if you don't count the Great Demon, the other teams played really well."

"Indeed, that competition stage called 'Boundary Line' is truly something. It's said that the audience can feel the dramatic drop in temperature when the eels manipulate the iceberg... They've brought a corner of the old world into reality, and even made it a reality..."

"The group stage was really exciting, especially because we didn't want to lose, so everyone tried their best to win points from the opponent to avoid becoming an ATM..."

"And, at least... we can understand their game, not the areas we can't understand."

"Honestly, there's really nothing wrong with Master Eel's interview. The previous Pioneer Cup and Skirmish were just insignificant little competitions, and even the top players didn't participate."

"It's hard to imagine that we would actually praise someone like Gamelan as a superstar. To be honest, his level is quite low... Even if you don't count "Snake Restaurant", the other teams have shown very strong strength."

The spring season did not become dull because of the existence of "Snake Restaurant".

Instead, people are looking forward to someone becoming a challenger.

Not only that--

People were more concerned about the bet than Yu Man, not only the audience but also the contestants.

They have already thought about what trash talk they would say during the game if they were to play against Gamelan or his ML4K team.

"Didn't you lose all your equipment? Why are you still standing across from me?"

Therefore, everyone knows that ML4K is a team doomed to fail, and will be eliminated in the shameful first round, and will never be able to recover.

And all of Gamelan's previous taunts and insults turned into a boomerang of karma tenfold, humiliating him as much as possible.

The uninvited audience was very happy to do this.

Besides Gamelan, who had fallen to rock bottom, Xiankan, who had previously suffered a humiliating defeat, also earned a spot in the audience's hearts with a hard-fought victory in the group stage. They were no longer the humiliation of losing to a Southeast Asian team, but a hope that persevered and moved forward.

And all this——

It is just a little story that is born in the shadow under the diffuse light.

Her photo went around the world.

People even forgot to investigate why Yu Man was holding a magic book in his hand instead of a magic wand.

Just because—if it was her words… then everything made sense.

And—it’s beautiful.

People can no longer find another word to describe it, and can only lament the lack of power of language.

and--

She lives in reality like this.

……

The next day.

In the lounge on the ship, they were gathered together to talk about today's game.

But those good days of leisure are over. Even with the layers of security provided by the organizers, a huge number of spectators gathered on the shore, just wanting to see it offline and get closer to the hottest topic in the world today.

"Time" pointed out the window and smiled at Yu Man.

"Look, an eel."

"There are two types of audiences?" Yu Man tried to answer.

But the poet's vocabulary is far more varied than one might imagine.

The poet spoke softly and fiercely: "The trouble with making yourself the center of attention is that there are always people watching."

Everyone was amused. As for the uncivilized swear word "time", it actually explained the current situation very effectively.

But everything was arranged in an orderly manner.

70 knocked on the table. "I've foreseen this happening, so we're living on the boat. We can leave at any time if something happens."

As expected of her - including Yu Man and Xiao Lu, they all marveled at her foresight.

I just hope that no one will be so ungrateful as to follow the ship and drown in the sea. If that happens, they will be the focus of the storm...

"No, no, no, that's not the era anymore. People these days are extremely selfish and sarcastic. They just say that the drowned person deserved it."

After saying that, 70 took a sip of coffee and added:

"In fact, they really deserve it, because selfishness and harshness require the prerequisite of 'seeing the current situation clearly'."

Perhaps because she didn't play the game yesterday, she read the things recommended by "Time" and seemed to have caught a little bit of the poet's disease.

But fortunately, there is a strong enough atmosphere among girls and they have a strong ability to correct mistakes.

"Those who can play today have two group matches. If we win both, we'll advance directly," Xiaolu explained. "That means we can rest for the next two days and then prepare for the knockout rounds."

"Actually, I don't want to rest... to be honest."

70 felt a little uncomfortable about this and had a lot of complaints to express.

"We've been preparing for this for a long time, but after Uncle Eel made his move yesterday, the other team just gave up... you know, giving up, right? We were so motivated, but in the end, we just went home and slept... Sigh."

"It can't be helped. Who made—" Time even read what he saw on his phone, "The Demon God of the Old World has now appeared here...?"

WTF?

Out of curiosity, the stranger in the old world leaned over to look at his photo from yesterday, and his face suddenly turned red.

"Okay, okay, I won't play today, okay?" She couldn't stand the gazes of her teammates and was finally forced to rest.

Only "Time" looked at the phone screen, as if recalling some distant memories, and smiled nostalgically.

……

On the second day of the group stage, their game is about to begin.

We arrived at the venue by bus from the ship, and extremely strict security was in place.

Then—their entrance wasn't met with cheers, only instinctive gasps from everyone.

Yu Man is here.

But everyone's gaze was more serious than ever, just to see more of her living in reality, right in the audience.

The opponent is the North American team WSTW, which is considered to be among the top teams in terms of strength.

According to previous reviews, they were supposed to fight to the bitter end with ML4K, who were also in Group A, and then both advanced hand in hand.

Their shirts are covered with sponsors, and the team name is preceded and followed by sponsors. Not only that, the team logo is also corrupted by the power of money. Therefore, they are a team that was trained under strong financial resources and is highly regarded.

But everyone had a sad face.

and--

The first move of BP was taken by "Snake Restaurant".

It was as if dark clouds had settled into their hearts, and everyone felt extremely depressed.

"The first match...a one-on-one match."

Yu Man, as an assistant coach who is also a part-time BP hand, is doing his BP work while discussing with the regular coach Mao Laoliu.

To the audience, it looked like a girl playing with her cat.

It was very good looking—much better looking than the heavyset old white man coach on the other side.

"One-on-one..." The opposing coach wiped his sweat. "Demon God, we don't have any hatred towards you. We are willing to pay extra for what you need in exchange for you not mentioning that damn bet in pre-match interviews or other nonsense."

Yu Man made a "tsk" sound.

The enemy is on guard.

Yu Man originally wanted to continue to "give me all the equipment and property if you lose."

But this time, the enemy is smarter than expected—

"By the way, our next game is against ML4K." The opposing coach stared at Yu Man from above his glasses. "I don't know what your grudge is, but we will stand up for you."

“…Okay then.”

"Thank you. Feel free to take our share."

The coach breathed a sigh of relief, finally he had saved his players' equipment.

As for winning or losing... they were mentally prepared.

After the BP is over——

The stadium, the audience seats, and everyone watching the live broadcast burst into exclamations.

The challenger sent by "Snake Restaurant" was not Yu Man.

But it’s - fried dough fritters.

"Yeah...it turns out she's still here."

People slapped their foreheads, muttered this sentence in frustration, and felt a chill down their spines.

A line of comments appears on the screen as the swordsman appears on the stage.

"Arena, 1V1 ranking: 1."

"Record: 91 wins and 0 losses."

If you want to introduce a player, listing the data in a simple and easy-to-understand way is the most direct and effective way.

She had never lost in the arena, so she had been accumulating winning streak rewards, easily reaching the highest level early on and firmly sitting at the top. Therefore, she had only played less than a hundred games.

And monsters...

And—here’s another one that models people based on reality.

……

This time, the opponent of "Snake Restaurant" was very considerate and did not give up after losing the duel.

Instead, they played a 5V5 game honestly, because they were mentally prepared and were willing to give it a try.

In addition, they are just as curious as the audience about the strengths of their other members besides Eel and Fried Dumplings.

Just based on the two points of "not giving up" and "choosing 5V5", WSTW won praise from many people.
