CH 93

The 6-in-3 semi-finals will determine the top three places. Whether it was the players, outside media, or those players who were eliminated, everyone’s attention was focused on the semi-finals.

Qiu Zhenyang also felt a lot of pressure.

Although he is equivalent to the creator of the game and has certain advantages, he is still inferior to those natural pros. He paid attention to nearly every match, and would watch the replays after he went back. He also became more and more aware of the talent of a small group of people.

Fortunately, Ling Mu’s performance continued to improve after each match. Although he never played games before, his love for mecha has made him continue training, and his level even had a tendency to surpass Qiu Zhenyang.

“You performed really well today~” After coming out of the 6-3 semi-finals, Qiu Zhenyang couldn’t help blowing rainbow farts at Ling Mu, smiling complacently.

In previous games, Qiu Zhenyang had always had the most kills. In today’s game, Ling Mu had an extraordinary performance, and harvested two more kills than Qiu Zhenyang. In a game with a total of 10 heads, even 1 kill is difficult.

The team also came up to praise Ling Mu’s greatness, Yuan Chenyu smiled and said: “Ling Mu is really great, and has suppressed Qiu Zhenyang’s limelight. I say, surnamed Qiu, it seems that you are going to be beaten by your wife and pressed down, tsk tsk tsk~”

Qiu Zhenyang snorted, wrapped Ling Mu’s waist close to him, and squinted at Yuan Chenyu. “So what? I taught him everything, and am happy he can defeat his master! Besides, it doesn’t matter if he presses me in the game, as long as I push him on the bed.”

Ling Mu’s face darkened. He suddenly raised his leg and stomped on Qiu Zhenyang, taking advantage of his whimpering and walked away without looking back.

Seeing this, the team burst into laughter. Yuan Chenyu even burst into tears. He pointed at Qiu Zhenyang and said, “Hahaha, you deserve it!”

Qiu Zhenyang beat Yuan Chenyu several times in anger, and then pulled Zhuo Hang to help him beat him together, before hurriedly chasing Ling Mu.

There were three full days of rest before the finals, Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu simply stayed in the dormitory and had a good rest.

Recently, because of the huge momentum of the “Machine Wars” school league, there’s a constant stream of reporters wanting to interview them individually. Many contestants were interviewed, but Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu did not like this atmosphere much. They were just playing games, and didn’t want to become famous to that extent. The enthusiastic livestream audience was enough to give them a headache, let alone the media.

On the first day of rest, Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu turned off all social media reminders and watched replays in the living room.

Qiu Zhenyang was sitting on the sofa, holding Ling Mu in his arms, his chin resting on his shoulder, watching the virtual screen projected in the center of the living room. Ling Mu held a fruit plate in his hand, occasionally forked a piece of fruit and put it into Qiu Zhenyang’s mouth with precision. The picture was quite harmonious.

“You’re too aggressive here, and lost a lot of blood in vain. If you went around the winding gorge, the other party wouldn’t be able to find you.” Qiu Zhenyang carefully analyzed the situation of Ling Mu’s last game, and then grabbed the fruit Ling Mu handed over.

Ling Mu nodded with a very serious expression: “I see, next time I will say hello to Xi Jun first, and let him help attract attention.”

In terms of overall strategy and details, Ling Mu is still inferior to Qiu Zhenyang in many aspects. He takes Qiu Zhenyang’s words seriously, and uses them to continuously improve. His attention to detail and constant efforts are why he can make rapid progress.

The automatic recording board on the table was working on its own, recording everything Qiu Zhenyang said. Qiu Zhenyang watched the video not only to give Ling Mu better advice, but also to help the team review. After each match, Qiu Zhenyang will invite everyone to watch and review the game together.

Qiu Zhenyang carefully observed the problems of his own players in the game, but Ling Mu’s attention gradually drifted away.

After saying a few words without getting a response from Ling Mu, Qiu Zhenyang noticed his absent-mindedness, and couldn’t help but tighten his arms around his waist. “Are you distracted?”

“Ah,” Ling Mu came back to his senses and touched his nose. “En.”

“What’s the matter, what are you thinking?” Qiu Zhenyang thought he had some insights into the game, so he paused his screen and waited to hear Ling Mu’s idea.

But what he didn’t expect was that Ling Mu was entangled for a long time, and the words he said were:

“If I do better than you, will you be unhappy?”

Qiu Zhenyang was stunned by these words. It is estimated that Yuan Chenyu’s joke hit Ling Mu’s heart. After all, omegas are naturally sensitive, and now that he has been marked and in a confirmed relationship with Qiu Zhenyang, he can’t help but look at things from an omega’s point of view. Ling Mu didn’t care about himself, but he couldn’t not care about what others thought of Qiu Zhenyang.

Qiu Zhenyang wanted to run out now to beat Yuan Chenyu up!

He wouldn’t think it was Ling Mu who couldn’t make a joke. Not everyone is neurotic and outgoing. Even among friends, everything is not right. Qiu Zhenyang understands and is willing to help Ling Mu untie his happy knot. , as long as many problems are solved, they will not appear again next time.

So he smiled and hugged Ling Mu tighter, and said, “No, as I said at the time, if you behave better than me, I will only be happier. You are the god in the hearts of many omega players. Your performance overwhelms me, which makes people even more excited! As for me, why would I be unhappy with such a powerful person as my wife? I will only think about how to tie you firmly, so you’re not kidnapped by others~”

Qiu Zhenyang may never realize that he is actually a very gentle person.

He always looks at problems from the perspective of others, is gentle and accommodating, but when he encounters some principled problems, he will not blindly tolerate and compromise. He lived the way many people dreamed – free and wanton, gentle and powerful.

Ling Mu is the person who can feel this most intuitively. His self-doubt, disappointment, and indifference to the world have subtly changed in the few months he spent with Qiu Zhenyang. In the past, he never imagined that he would have such an experience with an alpha.

“So you can play games with peace of mind. We are a team. We win together, and lose together. Everyone hopes that you can become more powerful!” Qiu Zhenyang played with Ling Mu’s hands, creating various poses, and finally tightened his fingers, as if to pass all his thoughts to Ling Mu.

“En, I see.” Ling Mu turned around and kissed Qiu Zhenyang’s face.

“So cute…” How could Qiu Zhenyang miss such a good opportunity, twist Ling Mu’s body over a little bit, hug him and kiss him deeply.

After the two people analyzed the video of the game, they held a review meeting for the team in the evening. The mental state of the team regulars was quite good, so after listening to the review carefully, they all realized some of their own problems.

Next, Qiu Zhenyang analyzed the other two teams in the finals. The school league has been going on for a while. Although they were unfamiliar with the other schools at the start, there are now several game videos for them to review, and some basic patterns can be seen.

The other two teams in the top three are teams from two top universities. Their captains are not simple people either. They played against one of the teams early in the competition, and after losing, the team reorganized and crushed their opponents, even beating one of the opposing teams faster than Interstellar Academy.

Qiu Zhenyang was not very worried about this team. The other team was the one he was most worried about.

Some of the opponent’s fighting skills were beyond even Qiu Zhenyang’s. Their captain is also quite powerful in terms of strategy and planning, and felt very dangerous.

“Everyone has done a lot of training, and giving you more tasks is just superfluous and adding pressure. Take a good look at their game videos, get familiar with their battles, and calm down. This is what everyone needs to do next. Meeting dismissed.”

Qiu Zhenyang turned off the video, got up, and went back to his room to take a shower.

He knows that everyone felt the pressure. After all, the “Machine Wars” game is linked to him, their captain. In addition, Interstellar Academy is considered better than the other schools in every aspect, so this time they also want to reach first place to avoid ruining the school’s standing.

Everyone actively adjusted their mentality over the next 2 days, analyzing the characteristics of their opponents, and then setting aside time to train together.

On the day of the finals, everyone got up early and rushed to the venue ahead of time.

“Well, I went to Lucky Star two days ago to ask for a lot of ‘victory charms’ for everyone. You all wear them when you enter the game cabin later. It can bless everyone to win!” Guan Tang was so nervous that he looked even more nervous than the players.

Zhuo Hang couldn’t help but press his forehead: “What’s the use of these? Everyone wins the game by skill, not luck…”

“Then, luck will also be a part of it, don’t talk, you can bring one too!” Guan Tang handed the bag of talismans to each member one at a time.

“Ling Mu, you must do your best, the future of us omegas is up to you!” Guan Tang’s eyes were bright, full of admiration and expectation.

Since the school league became popular, Ling Mu can be said to have become an idol in the hearts of most omegas. These people are not just gamers, but come from all walks of life. Because of the complex gender relations in this society, omegas are easily bullied no matter what field they are in, and are bound to marry and have children.

But Ling Mu’s appearance brought them a glimmer of hope. Even in an environment that is not very friendly to omegas like games, Ling Mu can shine so brightly. Then they can do the same in other industries!

“En, I know.” Ling Mu and Guan Tang put their fists together and walked to the competition area.

The rest of the team followed suit and went to the arena with solemn expressions.
