Chapter 942 Gathering Intelligence

November 13th, morning.

"Hey, wake up." When Feng Bujue returned from his morning run, Ruoyu happened to be cleaning up the living room.

Soon after Ruoyu moved in, the two agreed to take turns taking charge of the housework. But it's an agreement, and Ruoyu actually does more things. After all, girls love to be clean, and many times she will tidy up because she really can't stand it anymore.

"I've been up for a while." After hearing Brother Jue's words, Ruoyu continued what he was doing and replied without raising his head, "I'm waiting for you to come back with breakfast."

"Haha..." Feng Bujue smiled, "Be careful when eating soup dumplings today."

There is a reason why he smiles so shamelessly... Everyone has one or two things that they are not good at. For example, Brother Jue is not good at tying knots, Xiaotan is not good at lying; and Ruoyu... She doesn't know how to use chopsticks.

Of course, the "not very good at using" here doesn't mean that she can't pick up vegetables, but... because Ruoyu didn't learn the correct way to hold chopsticks when she was a child, her skills in using chopsticks are slightly worse than those of ordinary people. . There is no problem with normal use on weekdays, but... once you encounter tofu, fish balls and other foods that are slippery or easy to fall apart, as well as things like soup dumplings with thin skins and soup inside... She Embarrassments often occur.

【≦，

Actually... this is not a big problem, in a sense it is still cute. However, when you show a weakness in front of a (bitch) person like Feng Bujue, malicious comments and teasing are bound to be inevitable.

Who is our brother Jue? If there was a competition in this world to grab food with chopsticks, he would at least be among the top ten in the world. When he was a student, as long as he was willing, his classmates who shared the same table with him could not eat a bite of meat. Someone even used his hands to fight against him, and eventually he snatched a chicken leg away with chopsticks... With such a sense of superiority, how could he not complain about this matter repeatedly.

"What are you careful about?" Ruoyu immediately glared at Brother Jue, "Isn't it just a soup dumpling...at worst, it will break and the juice will flow out."

"What a pity. Isn't the soup dumpling just for eating a mouthful of broth?" Feng Bujue showed a sinister smile. "How about...I'll feed..."

"You are thinking too much." Ruoyu interrupted before he could finish his words, "I have never been fed by anyone since I can remember."

"So you are twenty-two years old and still don't know how to use chopsticks?" Brother Jue replied.

"Does a twenty-four-year-old man who can't even tie his shoelaces have the right to criticize me?" Ruoyu is now good at making complaints, and he and Brother Jue are not far behind when they mock each other.

"Hehehe..." Feng Bujue smiled even more obscenely, "I don't mind if you help me tie it."

"That's it..." Ruoyu snorted coldly, "Huh... How about we make a bet?"

"Oh? What kind of gambling method?" Brother Jue also became interested.

"For a week, I will practice chopsticks and you will practice tying knots." Ruoyu continued, "After a week, I promise that I can pick up anything you can safely pick up. But you must also promise that I can tie knots. You can fight."

"This..." At this moment, Feng Bujue... was really a little scared.

"Are you scared?" Ruoyu asked.

"Ha!" Brother Jue laughed dryly, "I almost forgot how to write the word fear." He forced himself to look confident, "Just bet, what do you think...what is the bet?" As soon as he finished speaking, he said He immediately continued, "Oh, let me declare in advance that I have to consider requests such as having sex. I am an upright person."

The next second, before Ruoyu could speak, Asas, who was lying on the sofa, complained: "During those years in hell, I have heard and seen many shameless words and deeds, but in what I know, Within this range... you are the only one who can combine shamelessness and meanness so perfectly."

After Ruoyu heard this, he looked at Asas expressionlessly: "I said... he is still my boyfriend no matter what. If you talk about him so badly, doesn't it show that I have poor taste?"

"No...it's not a question of bad eyesight, meow." Arthas responded. "It's fine if you only look at the face... But you still chose to date Feng Bujue after understanding his character. I can only say that you are also a weirdo." She paused and scratched the back of her neck with her claws. "Speaking of which...you are indeed a weirdo, nya."

"Well..." Ruoyu heard this and thought for a moment, "Then... the bet is..."

"Hey!" Brother Jue couldn't help shouting, "The topic suddenly changed abruptly!"

Ruoyu ignored him and continued: "This bet...if I win, unless I am in a good mood and want to intervene...otherwise, you will take care of all the housework from now on."

"Hey~ what is the concept of 'from now on'?" Feng Bujue responded, "If we get married in the future, wouldn't I have advanced decades of labor in advance?"

"If you don't want to bet, just say so." Ruoyu continued.

"Tch..." Feng Bujue raised his eyebrows, "Then... what if you lose?"

"From now on, I will tie your shoelaces." Ruoyu replied.

"Okay! You said so." Feng Bujue said loudly.

"Yes, I said that." Ruoyu replied calmly.

After a second's pause, the two said in unison: "It's a deal!"

"Alas..." Arthas sighed and shook his head, "What two weird cats~"

…………

A few hours later, at ten o'clock in the morning, Feng Bujue landed in the space.

"Hmph... You can only believe that you have to sort things out alone in the landing space..." Brother Jue started to complain as soon as he came to the elevator, "Actually, I want to quietly learn the skills of using chopsticks in the game world... I must be searching for related videos on the touch screen right now!”

While he was chanting, he shamelessly opened a search engine webpage through the touch screen and entered the four words "how to tie a knot".

For the next hour, he studied knotting techniques with unprecedented concentration and enthusiasm... Although he said to Ruoyu before going online, "I am going online to collect game information," in fact they were doing similar things...

Unknowingly, an hour (game time) passed. After watching a lot of pictures and video tutorials... Feng Bujue closed all the web pages, took two steps back, opened his arms, and used a game from "The Shawshank Redemption" When the protagonist regains his freedom, he looks up to the sky and screams: "It's so difficult——"

Again... everyone has one or two things that they are not very good at.

To make a long story short, after doing those extremely painful actions, Brother Jue finally opened the official website and forum of Dream Company and started to read information about the competition.

At this time, the top eight list of Peak Contest S2 has already been released. The team names of the eight teams were placed in the most conspicuous position on the home page of the official website.

The eight teams are: [Order] [Gods] [Jianghu] [Red Sakura] [Warring States] [Hell Front] [Waste Alliance] [Shanhe].

Since no two teams from the same studio entered the quarterfinals together, and no "second team" entered the quarterfinals, the list simply omitted those teams with the word "first team" in their team names.

Overall... six of these eight teams are professional teams based in studios, and the other two are teams composed of individual players.

This result can be said to have greatly exceeded the predictions of the general audience and various intelligence analysis teams...

In team competitive games, professional teams have great advantages. The professional team has the resources of the entire studio, whether it is personnel coordination, item mobilization, pre-match intelligence... they are all much better than those players "in the wild".

A team like [The Loser Alliance], which is composed of four individual professional players, cannot actually be regarded as a "professional" team... The so-called "professional team" does not mean that you can find a few professional-level players to form a team. In addition to the players, there are a large number of people who are contributing to the victory of this team...but these people's work is carried out outside the game. General audiences tend to ignore their existence.

However, this time in Summit 2, under the team competition situation, in a competition system where there is almost no luck... there are still two non-studio teams that have reached the quarterfinals. This result once again made the leadership of major studios realize that... Thriller Park cannot be viewed with the same thinking as ordinary online games.

"At first glance, there is no team that is easy to deal with..." Feng Bujue muttered after seeing the list.

That was true. In fact, he was not surprised when he saw this list, because as early as when he saw the top 16 matchup list, he had already predicted which eight teams would advance next. The question now is... how will the current eight teams match up.

"If you win one more game... you can advance to the finals." Brother Jue quickly browsed the web page. While thinking, "The finals are played by four teams in the same field, so there will be a lot of variables. Generally speaking...the number of variables increases. It means that the weaker teams will get more opportunities." His eyes moved slightly and stayed on Above the word [order], "The finals adopt such a mechanism, which seems to take care of the teams outside of [order]..." He paused. “Not only does it save one round, but it also increases the chance of defeating the strongest team on the outside.”

Thinking of this, Feng Bujue scanned every piece of information on the homepage of the official website at an extremely fast speed - basically all the news whose contents can be understood at a glance at the title. then. He quickly opened the game forum to see what he could gain from there.

"Ouch~" As soon as he opened the homepage of the competition discussion forum, Brother Jue was attracted by the "Today's Hot Post" pinned to the top.

The title of that post is - [Analysis of all match possibilities and outcome predictions in the semi-finals].

"Haha..." Feng Bujue clicked on the post and took a look at it, then smiled, "So it's very helpful to come to the forum. This post lists all the content that I need to do mental calculations, so I don't have to worry about it. Save yourself the trouble... Then you can easily store the list in your mind through graphic memory."

Having said that, Feng Bujue completely ignored the prediction of victory and defeat, quickly wrote down all the "match possibility" lists listed by the opponent (including 28 single match combinations and 105 complete match lists), and checked it again by the way. , after confirming that it was correct, he closed the post.

Then, he opened each discussion forum one by one, filtered the information at an extremely fast speed, and flipped through the posts page by page.

Given the popularity of the tournament, the amount of posts on the forum is conceivable. Even though it was a weekday morning, and even though the forum had various mechanisms to screen out spam posts, the number of posts in each discussion section was still increasing at a rate of at least one per minute.

"Oh? This seems a bit interesting..." Suddenly, Brother Jue's eyes stopped on a post with a very eye-catching title - ["Past and Present Life" of the August 18th Loser Alliance].

To be honest, the team Feng Bujue least wants to meet at this stage is the [Waste Chai Alliance], because among the seven teams that may become opponents, Brother Jue knows the least information about this team.

Of course...there is also the reason for Honghu's layout. Zhijiang is worthy of being a Zhijiang. He adopted a similar strategy to [Hell Front] in the preliminaries and turned on all privacy protection options. In addition, the people in their team also have very amazing strength. Many times they achieve victory before the enemy understands what the situation is. This makes their game videos and what is revealed in the videos The information provided is very limited.

For a man like Feng Bujue, who "has calculated more than 70% of the factors that determine victory or defeat before the battle," the lack of information is a very bad thing. Especially when he "knows that the enemy is powerful, but doesn't know how strong the enemy is", it makes him feel like he has a lump in his throat and is restless.

Relatively speaking, if he really encounters a professional team, he will be able to handle it with ease, even if he encounters [Order] or [Gods]... Anyway, most of your information is an open secret. As long as there are enough With such data, even God...Brother Jue can be plotted to death.

"Let me take a look..." After Feng Bujue clicked on the post, he found that it was a long paragraph, and the font color was a bright purple that could make people blind. He immediately complained, "This person I think I want to take revenge on society...forcibly reducing the reader's dog eye durability to zero..."

Let's talk, let's see...

Feng Bujueqiang stared at the unbearable font, and with the mood of searching for information, he read the entire article, and then...

"What a scam!" He wanted to throw a cup or something, but unfortunately he had nothing in his hand, "What is this? No wonder the title has a paparazzi style, but it turns out it's all just gossip! The good-for-nothing uncle is young What’s so great about being in a boy’s idol group in Korea? Now I’m an old man wearing sunglasses!”

Just as Brother Jue was complaining loudly and viciously, suddenly, a small icon popped up in his social bar... This was a prompt that only appeared when "friends" sent messages.

Seeing this, Feng Bujue clicked on it almost without thinking. Unexpectedly... the person who sent the message was actually... (To be continued...)
