Chapter 258, Interview

The joint mockery between Liu Chuan and Wu Zewen made Lu Xiang extremely depressed, and he wanted to stare at Liu Chuan with his eyes. Liu Chuan met his apprentice's big, wide-open eyes, couldn't help but smile, stretched out his hand and patted his shoulder, and said, "Remember to find me when you go out later, I'll treat you to dinner."

Lu Xiang said: "I don't want to have dinner with you, our team has activities."

Liu Chuan smiled and said, "Hey, are you angry? If you don't eat this meal, it will be gone. Expired and invalid!"

Lu Xiang looked up at him depressedly. Shao Zehang touched Lu Xiang's hair and said softly: "Since your master treats you, then go." As he said that, he leaned into Lu Xiang's ear, "It's time to knock him down and treat it as compensation."

Lu Xiang thought it made sense, so he nodded: "Okay then! You treat me to a good meal."

Liu Chuan glanced at Shao Zehang and said, "Xiao Shao, don't you go together?"

Shao Zehang said: "I also want to take the people from the Tongque Team to a dinner party. I won't go there if you master and apprentice have dinner." After that, he turned back to look at Lu Xiang, "I'll come back after dinner. It's your first time in Changsha. Remember the address of our hotel, don't get lost."

Liu Chuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will send Xiaoluchi back."

Lu Xiang: "..."

Is it really okay for you to say this to me in person?!

In the interview after the game, when the Tongque Team saw Lu Xiang appear, the reporters immediately surrounded him. A reporter joked: "I was killed by the new player using the maze map to fly a kite. What do you think of Lu Shen?"

Lu Xiang said directly: "The people my master brought out are as annoying as him!"

Shao Zehang smiled, and the reporters couldn't help laughing. Although the youngest god lost the game, the reporters couldn't bear to blame him. Seeing that he had worked so hard to demolish the map, everyone sympathized with him.

Shao Zehang took the microphone and said calmly: "The Tongque lost very normally today, because the Dragon Roar Team suddenly took out a secret weapon that many people didn't know - that is, the Five Poisons player's strong map analysis ability. Sichuan God chose a maze map for us, which made us in a hurry. But don't worry, we will prepare well after we go back. Next time it's Tongque's home court, the Dragon Roar Team may not be able to get a bargain."

Shao Zehang has always been calm and composed. The reporters let them go back after a brief interview.

On the Longyin team, Qin Ye and Si Lan were too lazy to answer questions, so they led the team members back to rest in advance. Liu Chuan had to take Wu Zewen to attend the press conference. As soon as Wu Zewen appeared, he was baptized by the flash of the reporter team. A reporter asked excitedly: "Misty Swamp, I heard that you were a physics master who received scholarships every year during college. Why did you suddenly think of playing in the professional game league?"

Of course, Wu Zewen couldn't tell the truth about "for Liu Chuan", so he had to hold his glasses and answered seriously: "I like playing games very much. The Sichuan team also said that I have some talent in playing games, so I'll try playing games with my teammates."

The reporter then asked: "When Zhang Shuping explained, you have excellent map three-dimensional space analysis skills. Today's competition has indeed proved that you have expertise in this area. Is this related to the physics major you studied?"

Wu Zewen replied seriously: "No, I have liked playing maze games since I was a child, so I have always been sensitive to space identification."

There was a neat sound of sucking air at the scene. I have been playing with a maze since I was a child. This guy is really amazing!

Another female reporter stood up and smiled and said, "In a previous game, the data showed that your burst speed was already the first-class level in the league. In addition, you were always calm when playing, and you also had the special ability to analyze the three-dimensional space of the map. After today's game, many people are very optimistic about you, and your performance has also attracted the attention of many media reporters and professional players. Are you confident of becoming the top master of the professional league?"

Wu Zewen didn't know how to answer, so he glanced at Liu Chuan. Liu Chuan took the microphone from him and said with a smile: "Our Zewen will definitely become the top master of the professional league in the future. Is this still necessary to ask?"

Reporter: "…"

The Sichuan team began to boast proudly again, and the bragging Sichuan team really couldn't hold on to eight horses.

The female reporter ignored Liu Chuan and continued to ask Wu Zewen: "I would like to ask Zewen, do you have any five-poison player you prefer?"

Wu Zewen picked up the microphone from Liu Chuan and said, "Among the five poisons players, I like the 'Baima Danshu' and 'Rebirth of Reincarnation'. They are both professional players I admire very much. I have watched many videos of them playing games, and my playing style also integrates the characteristics of the two of them."

The Zhang Shuping (Baima Danshu) and Su Shilun (rebirth in the reincarnation) mentioned by Wu Zewen were also two giants of the Five Poisons Sects back then. One was the main method of protecting the pet and the other was the main method of sacrifice. However, after Zhang Shuping retired, few of the Five Poisons could compete with Su Shilun.

The reporter asked: "Do you want to go over and surpass him for the most popular wheel god in the Five Poisons Sect?"

Wu Zewen thought about it and said seriously: "The Wheel God is a senior and the best friend of our Sichuan team. As a newcomer, I am still far from him. I didn't think about surpassing anyone in the past. I just need to do what I should do and play every game for the Dragon Roar Team."

Liu Chuan took the lead in applauding, and Wu Zewen's answer immediately won warm applause from the audience.

The first impression of this new player's attitude of answering questions seriously is very good. Moreover, the academic master's IQ and EQ are very high, and the questions are answered very smartly. The reporter asked him if he wanted to surpass the Wheel God. He cleverly bypassed the topic, just rightly gave the Wheel God enough face, and would not belittle himself too much. Unlike some newcomers who looked down on old players arrogantly, but were slapped in the face by the old players.

More importantly, Su Shilun and Xiao Sijing are both Liu Chuan's best friends. If Wu Zewen offended Su Shilun and his fans, Liu Chuan would not have a good face. What's more, the God of Wheel is also a respectable player in Wu Zewen's heart.

When Liu Chuan heard this, he was very pleased with Zewen's caution and sensibility in front of the media. He couldn't help but smiled slightly, took the microphone and said, "The Wheel God of Zewen and the Seven Star Grass is not the same style. The Wheel God is a player of the same period as me, but Zewen is a newcomer in the 13th season and is incomparable. Zewen just started playing the game, and I hope everyone will not put too much pressure on him."

Liu Chuan's obvious posture of protecting his shortcomings made Wu Zewen's heart feel warm.

The reporters were not willing to give the Sichuan team face, so the topics about Wu Zewen and Su Shilun were stopped.

After the interview, Liu Chuan and Wu Zewen walked to the backstage together, gently reached out to rub his hair in a place where no one was around, and said with a smile: "You answered very well. If the newcomer is too arrogant, it will attract the disgust of the audience. In fact, you are not worse than Su Shilun, but Su Shilun's status in the league is not something you can compare with in a short period of time. He has six more qualifications than you and has quite a lot of loyal fans. You don't need to compete with him."

Wu Zewen nodded seriously and said, "I understand, I didn't want to compete with the Wheel God for the first place. However, the reporter likes to ask such contrasting questions. After he asked, I can't help but answer, otherwise I will definitely be said to be guilty."

Liu Chuan smiled and said, "There is no way. If you want to write articles, you always have to find some topics that will attract attention. You are still a newcomer now and your foundation in the league is not stable. It is better to be low-key. Let's take a long line to catch big fish."

Wu Zewen was silent for a moment. In fact, he didn't care about fame and honor at all. He came to play games just to be with Liu Chuan. Of course, after playing some games, he began to gradually fall in love with e-sports, like the Longyin Team and the players around him. However, he still did not have the competitive spirit. He just wanted to be Liu Chuan's partner and the five poison output of the Longyin Team.

As for how the outside world evaluates it, Wu Zewen actually doesn’t care much.

Liu Chuan knew what this guy was thinking. When he met his clear eyes, he couldn't help but smile, reached out and pinched his face and said, "You, your idea is too simple. You don't know how important the reputation of a professional player is. The popularity will directly affect the bonus distribution after the end of the season, the advertising endorsement fee for next season, etc., popular players can make more than twice as much money as ordinary players, do you understand?"

Wu Zewen thought for a while and said, "No matter how popular I am, I will not be higher than you. Just make more money and I will take charge of the account."

Liu Chuan was stunned, and the smile on the corner of his mouth couldn't help but widen. He suddenly realized that the conversation between the two of them seemed to be a little "old husband and wife" before he knew it. One person worked hard to make money and the other person worked hard to manage the accounts. This kind of division of labor and cooperation is also good.

Wu Zewen doesn't like to face media reporters very much, and Liu Chuan doesn't want to force him to answer interviews and advertisements to attract popularity, so he lets Zewen stay at the Longyin team to play the game with peace of mind. The disputes in the outside world cannot affect the guy's firm heart.

The two of them looked at each other, and then couldn't help but hugging each other gently. Because of each other's company, every step they took would feel extremely at ease.

Liu Chuan was holding Wu Zewen with satisfaction, and suddenly noticed a strange look that seemed to be coming from the side. Liu Chuan turned around and met Xiao Luxiang's curious big eyes. Liu Chuan said, "Why are you here?"

Lu Xiang said innocently: "Have you finished your interview? Go to have a meal quickly, I'm almost starving to death!"

The scene of the two people hugging was actually knocked out by Xiaoluxiang. Wu Zewen's ears turned slightly red in embarrassment, and pushed Liu Chuan away and said, "Then... I'll go back first, you go to dinner with Xiaolu."

Liu Chuan immediately grabbed his hand: "Go together. I even called Li Xiang to go there. Si Lan has already taken everyone back to the team early. If you go back alone, I guess they are almost finished."

Wu Zewen had no choice but to nod and said, "Okay then."

Lu Xiang glanced at the two of them curiously. Wu Zewen met his eyes and immediately turned his eyes away with red ears. Although it was just a simple hug, but when Lu Xiang hit him, Wu Zewen was guilty and didn't dare to look at Liu Chuan's apprentice, for fear that the other party would find something.

Of course, Lu Xiang would not think of other places. He just thought that the relationship between Master and Wu Zewen was quite good, and he was still hugging him after the interview - no wonder Wu Zewen was deeply impressed by Liu Chuan's true teachings of "it's not worth the life" and the two of them were really annoying!

We must slaughter them tonight.

Chapter 260, dinner party

After the game, the other members of the Longyin team went back to their residence to eat the big meal prepared by Aunt Sun. Liu Chuan asked Li Xiang to set up a seat first. He and Xiaolu and Zewen went to the restaurant together after the interview.

This restaurant happened to be near the competition venue, and it was lunch time after the competition. Li Xiang rushed over in advance and booked a private room. Lu Xiang ordered the shrimps to eat. The four of them sat down in the private room together. Liu Chuan took the menu from the waiter and said with a smile: "Give it, Xiaolu, you can do some."

"Okay, then I'm not polite!" Lu Xiang took the menu and started ordering dishes. The depression of losing the game just now had already disappeared from his face. The young boy's eyes were shining, and he quickly ordered a lot of food at various types of food.

The waiter stood beside him and recorded the name of the dish with a pen, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Do you four of you order the weight of eight people?

Lu Xiang quickly ordered ten dishes, the waiter gave him the order card to confirm, and asked with a smile: "Do you need to order something else?"

Lu Xiang thought for a while and said, "By the way, I haven't ordered the staple food yet, add a plate of custard and a plate of red bean cakes."

"..." The waiter almost knelt down.

After the waiter left, Liu Chuan glanced at Lu Xiang helplessly and said, "You ordered so much, can you finish eating?"

Lu Xiang chuckled and scratched his head: "You can pack it back for dinner if you can't finish it. It's rare for you to treat me to a meal. I must kill you well."

Li Xiang said: "That's right, senior brother, I support you in killing him!"

Liu Chuan said helplessly: "You two are rebelling, aren't you afraid that I will expel you from the sect?"

Li Xiang and Lu Xiang immediately said happily: "That's great!"

Liu Chuan smiled and changed his words: "I was joking just now. Why should I bear to let you down with such a good apprentice?"

Li Xiang: "..."

Lu Xiang: "..."

The brothers looked at each other and felt that their master was really a scam.

Liu Chuan suddenly thought of something, and came to Wu Zewen's ear and whispered: "Zewen, have you brought the money?"

Wu Zewen said: "What's wrong?"

Liu Chuan said: "My money is all in my savings card. I only brought one credit card when I went out today. The balance of that card seems to be small. The table Xiaolu ordered is worth two meals. I am afraid that it will not be enough to swipe it at that time."

Wu Zewen said: "It doesn't matter. If it's not enough, it's mine first."

The two were biting their ears and whispering, and Lu Xiang couldn't help but say, "Master, what are you two whispering?"

Liu Chuan turned around and smiled and said, "I'm telling Zewen that you were lost on the air battle map before... and fell to death."

Lu Xiang stared: "Can you not always mention black history?"

Liu Chuan smiled and said, "You have too many dark history, you will die five times just by falling."

Lu Xiang: "..."

Liu Chuan then finished the fight: "Also, there are countless times when the map is removed. People who design maps in the Professional League hate you very much, fearing that you will cause bugs in the scene after you dismantle the map."

Lu Xiang said depressedly: "I also want the alliance to remove the maze map, but they didn't agree if I submitted the application..."

Xiaolu once wrote a written application righteously and sent anonymously to the league chairman, requesting the professional league to abolish the maze map, on the grounds that "this map seriously affects the fairness of the professional league, especially for road deafness."

Chairman Li Hanzong knew that it was written by Xiao Luxiang when he saw the anonymous letter. He replied cordially: "The league sets the competition map and takes into account all factors. Although the maze map is not conducive to the performance of the road deaf, the maze map will have more tactical choices, the competition is more exciting, the viewing is very strong, and it is also loved by the audience. Therefore, the league has no intention of abolishing the maze map for the time being. As a road deaf player, he can only improve his ability to distinguish space by himself. He can practice walking the maze more [smile] [shoulder]"

Lu Xiang was so angry that he looked at the smile and shoulder-patching expression in the reply letter. As the saying goes, there must be a disciple. Liu Chuan’s master, Chairman Li Hanzong, is not easy to mess with. Lu Xiang is the most ill-fated player in the entire league. Chairman Li clearly knew who was the person who sent the letter anonymously. Lu Xiang’s appeal was ruthlessly rejected by the chairman, so he had to practice various map movements every day.

Many times, when other teams choose maps at home to play Tongque teams, they will choose maps with complex terrain to try to fly Luxiang kites. When Luxiang encounters underground palaces with many obstacles, they will tear down walls, and when they encounter maps with many trees, they will cut down trees. This is also one of the reasons why Tongque is called the "Chicken and Dog Jump Team". Every time they play against Tongque, the map will be demolished half by Luxiang. Luxiang is simply a "king of environmental damage."

Over the past few years, Lu Xiang has actually made a lot of progress in understanding the map. It has been a long time since he was killed by Wu Zewen directly on a kite like today. Therefore, Lu Xiang couldn't help but feel a little sad when he looked at Wu Zewen.
