Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Road to Rivalry is Narrow
Pushilin had a gloomy face and did not say a word. (Please remember that I p; THE PEOPLE AROUND HIM WERE AMAZED BY THE STRENGTH OF POSEIDON, BUT PUSHILIN WAS NOT IN SUCH A MOOD AT ALL. He wasn't really a gamer, in the sense that Pushilin might have been a good businessman, a tough gang leader, a cunning conspirator, but he wasn't a gamer.
HE WOULDN'T BE AMAZED BY POSEIDON'S AMAZING PERFORMANCE, HE WOULD ONLY FEEL THAT POSEIDON'S EVERY MOVE DISRUPTED HIS ORIGINAL SETUP.
IN FACT, IT SEEMS THAT THIS IS INDEED THE CASE, AND THE ADDITION OF POSEIDON HAS MADE PUSHILIN'S ORIGINAL FEELING OF HAVING EVERYTHING UNDER CONTROL DISAPPEAR WITHOUT A TRACE. BEFORE THAT, WHAT POSEIDON SAID MADE PUSHILIN FEEL QUITE CONCERNED.
The young man ...... What is the relationship between him and the White Owl?
Pushilin can become the new godfather of the Croto Party, his vision is naturally very outstanding, and he can see that Yang Hai is different just by the few shots just now, and it is basically certain that once Yang Hai joins, LUAR may not be able to parry. He knew exactly what LUAR's strength was.
A strong unwillingness surged in Pushilin's heart, today he has already fallen behind by relying on more people to bully less, and if he loses again, I am afraid it will be even more embarrassing. Pushilin has not been in charge of the Kloto Party for a few days, and he lost so ugly in his first high-profile appearance, how will he convince the public in the future?
Pushilin began to regret today's appearance, but now he had to win this game first, no matter what. Because if you win with more, it's fine, but if you lose......
Pushilin gritted his teeth and ordered a few people around him to let them enter the game and take over the nine wastes.
"That's enough." An old, plain, but unusually majestic voice sounded behind Pushilin.
Hearing this familiar voice, an uncontrollable fear suddenly welled up in my heart. Pushilin began to fear this voice more than ten years ago, after he took power in the Kloto Party, he thought that he would get rid of this nightmare forever, and after that old thing gave way, the rivers and lakes of the underground game world would be his, but when he heard this voice again, Pushilin realized that he had not changed and progressed at all.
It's like a piece of ice slipping into your stomach......
Pushilin swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his throat a little blocked. He turned a little slowly, stiff like a door in disrepair, but there was no screeching sound.
But when he faced the person he least wanted to face, all the fear, insecurity, and resentment on his face turned to deference.
It's like he's been showing it for more than a decade.
"Master Bai, why are you here?"
Bai Xiao snorted coldly, he was wearing a windbreaker and sunglasses, Bai Zhu followed behind with an expression of "I play soy sauce", and a group of elders were silently on standby.
"If I don't come again, you'll lose the face of the Crotos." The white owl didn't look at Pushilin, his eyes were staring at the projection screen, his right hand was playing with the collar of the trench coat on the left, the blood vessels on the back of his hand were faintly protruding, and his eyebrows were as sharp as a sword.
His expression was very serious, and his solemn look made the lines on his already angular face even more cold.
Pushilin suddenly had a feeling of being ignored.
At that moment, he didn't dare to raise his head, because he was afraid that the resentful look in his eyes would be seen by Bai Xiao, so he could only lower his head and pretend to be obedient to Bai Ye's training.
"Yes......" Pushilin replied, as docile and deferential as ever, as if the white owl were still the godfather.
Pushilin knew that he was not yet qualified to argue with Bai Xiao, and in another five years, when Bai Ye's prestige faded and he established his real power in the Kloto Party, it would be time for him to turn his face.
Pushilin desperately wanted that moment, but he knew that until then, he could only pretend to be a grandson.
"Why are you unruly?" The white owl asked expressionlessly.
"I ......" Pushilin knew that his identity was no longer what it used to be, he used to be able to bow down when Bai Ye reprimanded him, but now if he still did this, he would never want to convince the public again.
"You can't watch someone flaunt their might in Nightingale Alley." Pushilin plucked up the courage to reply.
"Ignorance." Bai Xiao's eyes narrowed slightly, and the sharp edges and corners of his eyebrows suddenly sharpened, "Pushilin, you disappointed me too much. ”
Pushilin felt his heart being clenched hard by a cold hand, and this feeling was like failing an exam in elementary school and being told by his teacher ...... his father,
"You deliberately behaved cowardly and respectful, obeyed me, and flattered me in every way." Bai Xiao's lips moved slightly, and he said in a voice that only two people could hear: "I know that you have your own ambitions, but you know how to forbear, and the most rare thing is that although you are scheming, you know how to advance and retreat, and you know the gains and losses, so I gave you the position of godfather." ”
Pushilin's pupils shrank to the size of pinholes in an instant.
"Pushilin, I will not give the position of godfather to a man who can only do things on the back and with a stuffy head. I know you're not that kind of person. The white owl closed his eyes: "It's a good thing to be ambitious, if the Klotto Party wants to grow stronger, it must have a wolf-like leader." I thought you'd do a good job, but you're a disappointment. ”
Sweat poured from Pushilin's forehead, ran through the tip of his nose, and dripped onto the bluestone slabs of Nightingale Alley, quietly shattering.
His mind went blank.
"We are a black (harmonious) society, so we act much more freely than the people in the WGA, but that doesn't mean we can do whatever we want." The white owl's voice became stern, but Pushilin didn't listen much, he couldn't accept the fact that his years of forbearance had long been seen through by the white owl. Fear filled his body like mercury, making him feel so heavy that he couldn't even breathe.
"Obey the rules, Pushilin." Bai Xiao's voice returned to flatness: "The first rule of life in the game is to abide by the rules. Follow the rules, everyone has to play, and if you don't follow the rules, you will be kicked out and watch others play. You think that by winning the game, you will be able to strengthen your position? Don't be as stupid as those politicians in the WGA, for a game where the person who breaks the rules loses from the moment he fouls. You take a closer look at the people around you, Pushilin, they walk Nightingale Alley, all of them are supporters of the underground gaming world, but you look at who they are cheering for? ”
PUSHILIN SUBCONSCIOUSLY OBSERVED THE SITUATION AROUND HIM, AND THEN HE WAS STUNNED TO REALIZE THAT ALMOST ALL OF THEM WERE ADMIRING AND CHEERING FOR POSEIDON
"This ...... This ......" Pushilin was speechless.
"IT WASN'T BECAUSE POSEIDON WAS SO POWERFUL THAT HE CONQUERED THEM IN AN INSTANT." Bai Xiao stared at the projection screen: "These people are our supporters, do you know what supporters are?" No matter what kind of disasters have been caused by our Kloto Party or what kind of strong enemies they have faced, they will stand behind us without hesitation, cheer for us, and give us strength. OVER THE YEARS, WHETHER IT IS THE ANCIENT AND MODERN KING NO, OR THE GODLIKE WHO IS ALMOST A GOD, OR THE TALENTED ICELORD, THE TIGER AND WOLF GENERAL VIVA, EACH OF THEM HAS EXTRAORDINARY STRENGTH, BUT THE SUPPORTERS OF THE KLOTTO PARTY HAVE NEVER CHANGED THEIR CAMP. POSEIDON WASN'T NECESSARILY BETTER THAN THESE GUYS, AND HE CERTAINLY DIDN'T HAVE THE STRENGTH TO GET OUR SUPPORTERS TO CHANGE SIDES. In such a situation, have you thought about what is missing? ”
Pushilin lowered his head and didn't know how to answer.
"The moment you foul you." "Including LUAR, those above have lost their qualifications for the game in the eyes of a gamer. So people no longer focus on who will win, but on whose skills are more exciting. I used to think you had all the qualities of a good leader—perceptiveness, forbearance, self-control, ambition, and a sense of the big picture—but, Pushilin, you are not a true gamer. You simply don't understand what kind of organization the Kloto party is. ”
Pushilin's heart is cold, is the white owl going to come forward to remove his godfather status? The godfather was the leader of the entire Kloto party, but Pushilin did not believe that he could fight the white lords at all.
"You don't have to worry, Pushilin." Bai Xiao is like having a mind reading technique, "You are just inexperienced." ”
Pushilin's eyes were a little dazed, as if he had drunk too much wine. He couldn't believe that Bai Xiao was so powerful, but when he reached the end, he picked it up high and put it down low.
"Pushilin, I know that you are actually dismissive of the rules of the gamer." Bai Xiao glanced at Pushilin deeply: "You are not a professional gamer, and it is inevitable that you have a shallow understanding of the game. But I believe in my human vision, and I believe that you are up to the task of being the godfather of the Kloto Party. ”
Pushilin couldn't believe his ears, he didn't care about pretending to be submissive, and looked at the white owl with wide eyes.
"You have all the makings to be a hero, and you're the right person to take the helm of the Kloto Party." Bai Xiao said firmly: "It's just that you're too young, and you don't know much about the game, but that doesn't matter. In the past, you didn't realize that you would follow me and have me shelter you from the wind and rain, but when you really start to take power, you will appear, it turns out that it is so easy to change a person in a game. You've been with me for so many years, and you'll soon learn how to respect a game. ”,
Pushilin opened his mouth, he wanted to say that he was almost forty years old, not young anymore, but he could not say it.
"You'll soon understand what the game is and what the Croto Party exists for." The white owl said, "Just after you hit your head and broke your blood." ”
A wave of unwillingness swelled up in Pushilin's heart.
Bai Ye...... Why do you think I'm going to hit my head and bleed? Why do you think I can't call the wind and rain now?
"You've acted too recklessly today, and you don't look like you normally at all." Bai Xiao continued: "Did becoming a godfather get you carried away? ”
“…… Master Bai, I was wrong. Pushilin was irrefutable and bowed his head.
"Hmph, if I don't help you clean up the mess today, I'll see what kind of face you have to face the Kloto Party after today." The white owl glared at Pushilin: "Remember, think twice." ”
“… Schilling said convincingly.
"Visconti is a madman, don't provoke him, and don't snub him because of trivial prejudices. Visconti represents all the courage of the Cloto party, and you have to respect him, whether you continue to do it or not. Bai Xiao advised: "I know the way, I said that you will hit your head and break the blood, you must scold me in your heart for being old and immortal, you will definitely not be convinced." I don't want to say anything more. In the future, if you encounter something you don't understand and can't solve a problem, ask TONY for advice. TONY'S ABILITY TO JOIN THE KLOTO PARTY IS A GIFT OF FATE, AND SOONER OR LATER YOU WILL UNDERSTAND HIS GREATNESS. ”
Pushilin felt that all these years, what Bai Xiao said did not add up to allow him to listen as attentively as he did today.
"Also, learn today's lesson." "Because it's impossible for me to come out and wipe your ass every time you get into trouble." How many times do you have such a thing, what prestige do you have in the party? ”
Pushilin's heart was hot, he had been disguised and deceived in front of the white owl for more than ten years, and the white lord saw through it, but he didn't blame him, but still trusted him, even if he abdicated, he came forward to help him solve the trouble, Pushilin thought he was a cold-blooded person, but he was still moved by the grace of the white owl.
"Master Bai, I'm ......" Pushilin couldn't help but ask: "If, if I fail to meet your expectations, if I still can't become a real gamer after I reach the end, will you personally banish me from the party?" ”
The white owl was silent for a moment.
"I don't believe it." Bai Xiao said. He looked at Pushilin with a determined look in his eyes: "You can do everything the way you do it now, and ignore everything I say today." But in the position of leader of the Kloto Party, you will soon feel the charm and power of the game. Games can easily change a person, and we, the Croto Party, are the inheritors of the true spirit of the game. Pushilin, too much scheming and intrigue doesn't make sense, and I've heard some of the things you do with VIVA. But you remember, Visconti once said - in the land of miracles, we are by no means conquered. Look, a character like VIVA will never be subdued by conspiracy, and over the years, there have been fewer conspiracies born in VIVA? When have you ever seen this man give in? ”
Pushilin tried his best to digest everything that the white owl said, not noticing the situation.
By the time Pushilin remembered everything that Bai Xiao had said, Yang Hai and VIVA had already won the game 6-0.
====
VIVA HAD NEVER FELT SO GOOD, HE HAD HEARD OF POSEIDON'S NAME, JUST YESTERDAY, THIS GUY DID SOMETHING EARTH-SHATTERING ON THE DRAGON'S SIDE, VIVA HAD HEARD OF IT, BUT HE DIDN'T TAKE IT TO HEART.
Online games have a very strong sense of chance, sometimes, those who get the best equipment and the best props, may not be the most powerful masters, if a rookie has the luck against the sky, it is possible to become a very terrifying existence. It is precisely because of this uncertainty that online games attract more ordinary players.
VIVA THOUGHT THAT POSEIDON WAS A LUCKY PLAYER WITH A BIT OF STRENGTH, BUT MORE BY LUCK.
But after today's game, VIVA doesn't think that way anymore.
The cooperation with Yang Hai made him feel extremely smooth and happy, which was really a strange feeling. VIVA is sure that this sense of fluidity is not the comfort of having teammates to rely on, but it shows one point: he and Yang Hai have a naturally compatible style. THIS CAME AS A SURPRISE TO VIVA.
VIVA's playstyle can be summed up in one word: Unique. VIVA has a reputation as a lone wolf in the gaming world, and he never cooperates with anyone. ,
But when he partnered with Yang Hai, he didn't have the feeling of strangeness at all.
Their tactics are very simple, that is, VIVA rushes to the front, and Yang Hai covers in the shadows; Or Yang Haichong is at the front, and VIVA is covering in the dark. Either of these tactics is extremely powerful. VIVA doesn't need to think about Yang Hai's position, because even if he doesn't report the coordinates in the channel, this mysterious partner will wander within his cover intentionally or unintentionally.
VIVA SIGHED IN HER HEART THAT POSEIDON'S CONSCIOUSNESS WAS SIMPLY TOO GOOD.
WHAT SHOCKED VIVA THE MOST WAS NOT POSEIDON'S CONSCIOUSNESS, BUT POSEIDON'S ATTACK. VIVA has seen countless attacks and fought countless offensive maniacs. One of the most powerful of these attacking maniacs is Visconti, who feels that Visconti's attack power and himself should be indistinguishable from each other.
BUT HAVING SEEN POSEIDON'S KIND OF ATTACK, VIVA FELT LIKE ALL HER IMAGINATION OF ATTACK FOR MORE THAN TWENTY YEARS HAD BEEN SHATTERED. Yang Hai's attack may not be as strong as him in terms of explosiveness, and it may not be as strong as Visconti in terms of stability, but VIVA can vaguely feel that there is a kind of "momentum" in Yang Hai's attack, VIVA doesn't know what it is, and momentum can only be understood by standing on a hostile position.
But the invincibility shown in the attack alone was enough to make VIVA a little frightened. VIVA COULD FEEL THAT THE POWERFUL DESTRUCTIVE POWER CONTAINED IN POSEIDON'S ATTACK WAS NOT ONLY OUT OF THE LINE BETWEEN HIMSELF AND VISCONTI, BUT ALSO OUT OF THE TWO OF THEM
For level masters, the first-line gap is already very large, not to mention a lot.
God, such a powerful attack, this is a monster that has appeared out of nowhere.
But VIVA has an immense sense of security and pride.
That's my teammate
He's a special guy, he's incredibly strong, and more importantly, he doesn't dislike me because I have a bad reputation.
He came to my aid when I was in a desperate situation.
The momentum of VIVA and a steady swing of Yang Hailian joined hands, and the result of this game ...... It already goes without saying.
====
PUSHILIN'S FACE TURNED PALE AS HE LOOKED AT POSEIDON AND VIVA WHO HAD TAKEN OFF THEIR HELMETS AND WALKED OVER, BUT THERE WAS A STRANGE SENSE OF RELIEF IN HIS HEART.
He knew that Bai Ye was willing to stand up for him, and everything was not a problem. He once thought that the White Owl was just an old man, but it was only today that he realized the gap between himself and the greatest godfather in Cloto's history.
Yang Hai and VIVA took off their game helmets, VIVA looked at Pushilin coldly, and Yang Hai walked over directly.
But the white owl took a step forward and took off his sunglasses.
There was an exclamation from the crowd, and then it turned into a loud cheer. The Old Godfather hasn't been seen in a while, and supporters of the underground gaming world are very nostalgic for the Old Godfather, as if a child is attached to his father.
Pushilin watched with envy as the white owl calmly accepted the cheers of everyone in a row, and thought: "Didn't I work hard to get the position of godfather just to gain such power?" ”
However, he couldn't help but think of the scene just now, where none of the supporters of the Kloto Party supported him, but were excitedly talking about POSEIDON's miraculous five consecutive intercepts and VIVA's miraculous four kills just now. It was as if he had been completely forgotten.
Behave......
Pushilin chewed on these three words repeatedly, feeling that he understood something, and felt as if he did not understand anything.
"Boy, you are so majestic, you ran to Nightingale Alley to shake, the old man was late, and you have been arrogant for so long, you must be very proud now?"
Seeing Yang Hai, Bai Xiao immediately felt an evil fire rising from the bottom of his heart, and the indifferent demeanor of the godfather of the first generation was immediately left behind.
"Old thing." Yang Hai narrowed his eyes, gritted his teeth and said, "Wash your neck and wait for death." ”
Hiss......
There was a sound of cold air.
EVEN SOMEONE LIKE VIVA, WHO IS ACCUSTOMED TO LAWLESSNESS, IS A LITTLE INTIMIDATED. VIVA LOOKED AT POSEIDON WHO WAS STARING AT THE WHITE OWL, AND THOUGHT TO HIMSELF THAT THIS PERSON'S COURAGE WAS TOO GREAT, THE PERSON IN FRONT OF HIM WAS THE BIGGEST BLACK (SOCIAL) GANG LEADER IN THE WORLD, THE WORLD-FAMOUS GODFATHER BAI XIAO, HOW DARE HE?
"You think you can mature with sunglasses and you're not a kid?" Bai Xiao was extremely disdainful of Yang Haide's new look: "It's really naïve, I don't accept it, let's compare and compare." ”
"Come to Mao, you're older than the game, it's not the white owl who can argue with the king back then, I can beat you with one hand." Yang Haihai looked her up and down: "If you want to talk about real PK...... Half of your bones are buried in the soil, if I beat an old man, won't it hurt the heavens? ”,
Bai Xiao was trembling with anger, and he really wanted to pounce on Yang Hai's skin and bones and stew meat, Yang Hai then said: "And I don't have time to trouble you today, I will solve Mr. Pushilin's problem first, and then we will be affectionate and affectionate." ”
Pushilin took a deep breath, and the white owl was by his side, giving him courage. He didn't care what the young man's background was, but he still took a brave step forward.
He is already a godfather of a generation, and it is impossible to hide behind Bai Ye for the rest of his life.
There was a hint of approval in the white owl's eyes.
"How?" Pushilin said calmly.
"Now, do you understand what happens when you don't follow the rules?" Yang Hai's mind was actually no longer on Pu Shilin, he said this to Pu Shilin, but his eyes were staring at Bai Xiao.
Sometimes things are so wonderful, sometimes two people hit it off at first sight, and sometimes they don't like each other, such as Yang Hai and Bai Xiao, the more they look at each other, the more they feel annoying.
How could Bai Xiao not see Yang Haide's intentions, sneered, and said, "Don't give me this set." I didn't expect your IQ to be so impressive, and you can even learn the advanced skill of pointing at Sang and scolding Huai. If you have anything to say, just say it - if you mean the events of that day, Lao Tzu is not unruly, you are mistaken. ”
Yang Hai suddenly became angry: "Get out of the way, you didn't make it clear, let me misunderstand"
"Tell me clearly?" The white owl's eyes widened: "Why should I make it clear to you?" Who do you think you are? ”
Yang Hai was short of words for a while, but he definitely wouldn't lose his momentum, and instead said, "What about today's matter?" Don't tell me there's a misunderstanding."
The time it was replaced by a white owl, there was nothing to say. But if he wants to help Pushilin downplay the influence, he must focus everyone's attention on the dispute between Yang Hai and himself. "If it weren't for the fact that I didn't want to make a reputation for bullying people too much, I would even want to bring Visconti and TONY over and take your turn." The white owl said fiercely: "Didn't you threaten to make me regret giving birth? Come on BI"
Yang Hai actually didn't care about Pushilin's foul at all, he just used this to stand on the moral high ground to fight the white owl. Since Bai Xiao said it, Yang Hai also felt that he was really unhappy in the Flame Palace that day, and it was also good that this grievance had been settled.
"Come on, you draw the line." Yang Hai raised his eyebrows: "I'll let you set the rules, lest others say that I bully the old and weak." ”
THE CROWD OF ONLOOKERS WAS AMAZED, THERE WAS NO DOUBT THAT POSEIDON WAS TOO ARROGANT IN THE FACE OF THE GODFATHER, BUT HE DID HAVE THE STRENGTH OF ARROGANCE. IN TERMS OF THE PERFORMANCE OF THE GAME JUST NOW, POSEIDON IS DEFINITELY A MASTER WHO DOES NOT LOSE TO THE GOD OF WAR.
"Master Bai, military advisor, don't fight."
A slightly hoarse voice rang out from outside the crowd of onlookers.
Bai Xiao and Yang Hai turned their heads at the same time.
