Chapter 280 Building momentum
"[The Abbot] Tong Gu has a detached mentality. He actually took the time to go to [Game of Destiny] and get another S rating on the eve of the challenge!"
The latest hot post on the [Destiny Forum] quickly aroused heated discussions. Yesterday, players in Yanjing City uploaded the scene of Tong Gu walking out of the golden portal with his eyes closed to the forum, which aroused a lot of admiration at the time.
But today, as the challenge between [The Sealer] and [Silver Twenty-Two Seats] is about to begin, it was mentioned again.
[Silver Twenty-Two Seats] is the top representative of the hardcore faction of players, although due to the restriction that they must be under 45 years old, [Silver Twenty-Two Seats] cannot become a true representative like [Golden Thirteen Seats] The list of the strongest Dongxia Silver players.
But this list represents more potential.
Those who are dejected from the list, even if they can retain their strong combat power, have basically reached the extreme of their [Silver Life Path]. If they want to go further, they can only find a new path.
But finding a new path is easy to say, but many people are simply not qualified to start over.
The energy has been finalized, the bloodline has been determined, and the body has been trained to the extreme. How can it be so easy to "clean up" and come back again.
Just like Zheng Xingxia, you can say that he is not strong, but let him release all his combat power to fight against those at the end of [Twenty-two Silver Seats], he is still very confident.
But he also knew that he had no hope of gold.
[Silver Twenty-two Seats] Except for the Silver Twenty-one Seat Shentu Yichuan who can still "hang around" for a few years, they are basically all outstanding young players with both combat power and possibility.
These people have basically become the top leaders of certain forces, or have formed certain forces themselves.
In society, they are big figures that many players cannot come into contact with.
But Tong Gu, the [Blocker], is almost everyone’s “one of our own” who has witnessed his step-by-step journey to where he is now. Therefore, most of the people on the Internet support the [Blocker]. Some of them are holding the Various video materials, analysis of "compatibility", analysis of which one to choose, [the one who blocks the cheat] has the highest winning rate.
There are also people who deliberately "speak pessimistically" in advance, implying that if everyone [the fraudsters] challenge such a big shot, it is normal to lose, and it will be a surprise to win, lowering everyone's expectations to avoid negative public opinion on the Internet when they ultimately fail. .
But now this trending post goes in the opposite direction.
The content of the post exaggerates [The Abbot] Tong Gu as someone who, even though he is about to face the opponent of [Twenty-two Silver Seats], is still calm and relaxed, as if he took a leisurely stroll in [Game of Destiny]. The feeling of suffering.
Just like the allusion of warming wine and beheading Hua Xiong, many people's expectations for the strength of [The Abbot] Tong Gu were instantly raised.
At this moment, the bottom of this post is like a chaotic dance. A large number of users with various high-level nicknames are "discussing" fiercely, or in other words, criticizing each other.
But what makes Zheng Xingxia and Zheng Yangyang in front of the screen amused is that these people are basically fans of [Blocker].
The reason why they started to quarrel with each other was because some people didn't want Tong Gu to become the target of public criticism in this way. Once the final challenge failed, people would use this as an argument to attack him crazily.
Some people also think that the poster of this post has bad intentions and is deliberately trying to stir up the relationship between the [Blocker] and [Twenty-Two Silver Seats].
Of course, there is one last group of people in the post, the happy melon-eating crowd. These people just think the melon is not big enough, so they go around and make the post more popular.
"I think what they said makes sense. You did have bad intentions when you asked me to post this post."
Zheng Yangyang looked at her grandfather with strange eyes, trying to read the mind of this bad old man.
Zheng Xingxia immediately pressed his granddaughter's head down. If his granddaughter's mind was read, his self-esteem as a grandfather would be a little unbearable.
Who would have thought that that kid would change so much after just returning from a mission world?
He deliberately laughed twice, and continued to let Zheng Yangyang use his authority to increase the popularity of this post. He kept pressing the reports in the background, and then opened several small accounts to set the pace.
"If you post this, if Tong Gu can't win the challenge, then of course it feels like putting him on the fire, but..."
"That kid is a monster, Yangyang. Monsters cannot be calculated in ordinary terms."
When Zheng Yangyang heard this, she stopped reading her mind and turned around in surprise.
"Is Tong Gu so strong now?"
She knew her grandfather's character. As long as there was even a slight possibility of losing, he would never conduct such a relentless public opinion offensive. He must remain a centrist and be ready to manipulate public opinion to rebel at any time.
Zheng Yangyang's eyes were a little dazed. She cleared her thoughts and understood that in her grandfather's mind at this moment, the [Suppressor] must be absolutely sure of winning.
"Will he challenge Shen Tu Yichuan, who holds the Silver Twenty-one seat?"
Zheng Xingxia shook his head, with a rare hint of admiration in his eyes, and said
"What he wants to challenge is the seventh seat of Silver, [Demon Eye of Annihilation] Gao Siyi!"
Zheng Yangyang almost stood up in shock. She knew very well who Gao Siyi was. This Silver Seventh Seat with a very feminine name was an out-and-out evil star.
When I first entered the Silver level, I relied on my special ability of [Destroying the Demonic Eye] to kill several famous Silver players, some from Eastern Xia and some from abroad, some from evil factions and some from decent factions.
Moreover, after he killed those people, without exception, he took out a piece of internal organs from the other party for use.
The reputation of cruelty quickly spread throughout Dongxia and Goryeo.
The Eastern Xia Player Association once prepared to put this person on a wanted list, but in the end, the [Human Survival Institute] sent an order to no longer supervise this person.
Gao Siyi later restrained himself a little and no longer frantically challenged and killed players on the magic side, but there were still several rumors of him killing and cannibalizing every year.
As a result, Gao Siyi has become the least popular and most notorious person in the "Silver Twenty-Two Seats".
Zheng Yangyang never expected that her grandfather would agree to the [Blocker] to challenge such a lunatic as his opponent. She hesitated and said
"Gao Siyi may not cooperate with us. If he goes crazy by then, we..."
Zheng Xingxia smiled and shook his head, saying indifferently
"Didn't I say that Tong Gu is the monster?"
"The person we should be careful to protect is Gao Siyi..."
He was actually a little worried that Tong Gu would harbor murderous intentions against Gao Siyi because of his bad reputation. He didn't want to lose a powerful Dongxia silver-level player in the arena.
——
On the outskirts of Yanjing, Gao Siyi slowly walked out of his office and looked at the black car waiting there with a cold look in his eyes.
He had just received news that Jiang Xianlang, the fifth seat of Silver, did not seem to have returned. He was not sure if he had fallen or if he had found a way to follow his own path and escaped into the real world.
As a result, his ranking will be improved by one place, but this improvement makes him feel very unhappy.
He had obviously been preparing to challenge Jiang Xianlang for a long time, but the opponent suddenly disappeared, giving him the illusion of punching cotton.
Fortunately, today we can see Jiang Xianlang's junior brother, the [Suppressor] who is just as sanctimonious as Jiang Xianlang, step into the ring. No matter who the opponent challenges, Gao Siyi will secretly embarrass [Suppressor].
He looked at the red glow on the horizon in the morning and whispered:
"Innocence should not exist in this world. Such people should have been completely eliminated after Master Jiang Gu died."
"The world is very cruel."
