Chapter 693: Award Ceremony
Translator: Nomyummi Editor: GravityTales
Blue River wanted to die. How could he have known that someone with the status of God would bluff like a third-rate player? Blue Brook Guild had panicked at the slightest threat and made a big fuss out of nothing. Since God didnt have any intention to make good on his threat, the four guild alliance and Samsara werent anything to worry about. Why did Samsara make a move? Blue River was an experienced player. After thinking about it for a bit, he guessed.
This made him feel even more ashamed. There originally hadnt been any issues. He had regarded God Ye Qius words as truth and nervously notified his guild leader. How could he have known that this would create such a huge misunderstanding? How was he supposed to explain this to Changing Spring?
In any case, he had to say what he had to say. Blue River could only muster up the courage and explain to Changing Spring.
Changing Spring felt depressed at the explanation too, but he didnt blame Blue River. After thinking about it for a bit, if he had been in Blue Rivers position and God Ye Qiu said something like that, he would have also been nervous like Blue River. Now that they discovered that it was all a misunderstanding. From this point of view, it was Samsara who had reacted to their movements. Blue Brook Guild should hurry and disperse their teams to prevent Samsara from taking the initiative and attacking them. After winning the championships, Samsara must certainly be very excited. Who knew what they might do.
When Changing Spring thought about how he had to order everyone to disperse, he felt a headache coming. He had roared at everyone to hurry up and gather together. Without doing anything, everyone suddenly needed to disperse. Was this a joke or something? Changing Spring couldnt think of any excuse to make. In the end, he could only say it was a misunderstanding and had everyone scatter.
Samsara had already fallen for the misunderstanding. Changing Spring was afraid that having everyone scatter wouldnt be enough of an explanation to the other side, so he gave Samsaras guild leader Three Realms Six Paths a message: Its a misunderstanding. Dont make this a big deal.
Three Realms Six Paths was just about to give a speech to everyone, when he suddenly received the message from Changing Spring. He suddenly froze. Changing Spring was so annoying. His messages were always so short, making it difficult to make things clear. Three Realms Six Paths didnt ask him for further details and instead asked Blue Brook Guilds Flying Brushstroke. He was a core member of Blue Brook Guild and one of the Five Great Experts. Three Realms Six Path reckoned that if Changing Spring knew about it, the other core members would know too.
Flying Brushstroke obviously knew about it, but it was so embarrassing! They had panicked at some casual words from God Ye Qiu. How could that be anything glorious? Of course, it wasnt. As a result, Flying Brushstroke didnt want to say the truth. He just said they had a misunderstanding with someone, not towards Samsara. If Samsara had gathered their troops to defend against them, they didnt need to!
He didnt want to talk about the details.
Three Realms Six Paths obviously didnt want a huge battle with Blue Brook Guild. Their guilds strength was weaker than Blue Brook Guild by a bit! However, Blue Brook Guild wasnt explaining things clearly, which made it difficult for him to relax. Thus, he didnt mobilize the troops, but he had everyone stay, just in case......
However, since Samsara didnt disperse, Blue Brook Guild became nervous. Their players had all left! If Samsara didnt, were they planning on attacking them? As a result, Blue Brook Guild continued to ask Samsara.
The two guilds went back and forth all because of a few words that Ye Xiu casually said. He had no idea though. He was just waiting for the elites to start fighting, so he could pick up equipment. Seeing that there werent any movements, he lost his patience and pestered Blue Bridge Spring Snow: Are you fighting or not? Are you fighting or not? Blue River wasnt in the mood to answer him anymore. He just pretended like he was dead.
While the two guilds were talking, the elites were just standing there. They werent even bullying normal players, right now. Then again, Samsara had gathered a thousand players together. Normal players werent so stupid as to provoke such a huge army. A perfectly good opportunity to scrap pick had become something the scrap pickers could only sit and wait for.
F*ck. Whats going on? Wei Chen was completely puzzled. He was a group leader, but he had no idea what the higher-ups wanted. It made feel very awkward.
Ye Xiu was helpless. He handed over a cigarette to Wei Chen and glanced at his screen. He saw a figure flash by his Warlock.
Hey hey hey!! Turn to the left! Ye Xiu hastily cried out.
What? Wei Chen was currently lighting his cigarette. Hearing Ye Xius cry, he put the cigarette in his mouth and swiped his mouse to the left.
Ye Xiu looked at Wei Chens screen and immediately discovered something.
That punk! Keep an eye on him for me! Ye Xiu pointed.
Assassin, Not White.
Deception knew that Ye Xiu was scrap picking at Blue Brook Guilds side, so he didnt dare go over there again. There were two hold lands for scrap picking at the moment, one at Blue Brook Guilds side and one at Samsaras side. Since he couldnt go to the Blue Brook Guild one, Deception ran over to Samsara.
But because of this incident, there wasnt anything to scrap pick for now. Deception patiently waited for an opportunity. When he saw so many Samsara players gather, he knew that something big was about to happen. The bigger the battle, the better the scrap picking. How could Deception bear to leave? After wandering around the nearby area, Ye Xiu happened to notice him on Wei Chens screen.
Whos this? Wei Chen asked.
Thats Deceptions alternate account. Ye Xiu said. Deception was a talent that Ye Xiu wanted to recruit, so Ye Xiu had introduced him to Wei Chen before.
Oh oh, that guy. Perfect. Ill go see how good he is. Wei Chen said.
A few minutes later, Wei Chen let out a sigh: F*ck, he really does have some skill. He almost escaped.
Ye Xiu looked at Not Whites corpse as well as Samsaras elite players moving about on Wei Chens screen. He couldnt help but sigh: You really are a brute. Was there really a need to call for so many people.....
Im a group leader. I have a group around me, why wouldnt I use them? You want me to run over and duel him? That doesnt follow the games rules! Wei Chen said righteously. He said he wanted to see how good Deception was for himself. Instead of having his Warlock face him head-on, he called his entire second elite group to take the on the task.
It was a hundred players versus one, but this time, it was different from Tang Rous and Steamed Bun Invasions situation. Tang Rou and Steamed Bun charged forward to fight them, but Deception wanted to run. However, Wei Chen was still able to lead his team and kill him off without much suspense. He could still tell that Deception wasnt simple though.
This guys worthy of being recruited. Keep whittling him down. Ill help you keep a lookout for him. Wei Chen said. Ye Xiu had talked to him about Deceptions circumstances. Recruiting someone who wasnt interested in the pro scene was a difficult task. It was as if football club went to an NBA player and said: Hey, why dont you come with us and win the UEFA Champions League? The NBA player would think the club was insane, no? In addition, Deception didnt have a good understanding of the pro scene either. He didnt want to talk either. Their only choice was to whittle him down until he did by killing him over and over again.
He might have other alternate accounts. Take note. Ye Xiu said.
Mm, for a player like him, hiding his alternate accounts is difficult. Wei Chen nodded his head.
As a result, Ye Xiu brought Tang Rou and Steamed Bun over to Blue Brook Guilds side. Wei Chen continued to sit at Samsaras side. If Deception wanted to continue scrap picking, he would have to give up on these two locations.
Were here to scrap pick again. Dont make this a big deal! Ye Xiu led Tang Rou and Steamed Bun over to an area near Blue Brook Guilds elite group. But this time, he gave Blue River a heads up.
Changing Spring felt his hands shake at the information. Scrap pickers didnt have a good name. Usually, they wouldnt bother with them and kill them if it was in the passing. To think a scrap picker would actually give them a heads-up......
Endure..... Changing Spring endured it. Even though the previous incident had been a misunderstanding, he was aware of this Gods abilities. However, letting him scrap pick without any worries was too shameful. Changing Spring gave the order to pay attention and pick up any dropped items. He didnt want Ye Xiu to have it so easy.
The day passed by like this. In the end, Samsara and Blue Brook Guild didnt fight. A misunderstanding was a misunderstanding. As long as no one took advantage of it, it was easy to resolve. Blue Brook Guild didnt gather everyone or make any ambushes. Samsara also dispersed their army and continued to display their might by bullying normal players.
Ye Xius group scrap picked for the entire day. Blue Brook Guild saw it clearly, but pretended to not notice. But they still listened to their guild leaders orders. They picked up equipment like crazy, especially when they saw those three come over. They immediately stopped what they were doing and pick up anything around them. Oftentimes, those three had to leave with nothing to show for it, making Blue Brook Guilds players very happy.
After this day passed, the week officially ended. As the curtains fell, season eight of the Glory Pro Alliance was also put to rest.
Team Samsara was this seasons champions. Their team captain and ace player, Zhou Zekai, was proclaimed the MVP of the regular season and the MVP of the finals. At the same time, he also won the Team DPS Star and Most Reliable Player in the Group Arena. All of these came from the statistics gathered in the regular season.
There were other awards as well.
King of Duels, which was based on the number of wins in the individual competition, was awarded to Team Tiny Herbs Liu Xiaobie and his Blade Master Flying Sword.
One Hit One Kill, which was based on the finishing blows in the team competition, was awarded to Team Blue Rains Huang Shaotian and his Blade Master Troubling Rain.
Best Sixth Player, which was based on the achievements of the sixth player in the team competition, was awarded to Team Misty Rains Lu Yizhu and his Sharpshooter Worse Coverup.
Team Voids Li Xuan and Wu Yuce won Best Pair for their Ghostblade Duo. Team Hundred Blossoms Tang Hao won Rising Star. There was also the Best Rookie award. This award was given based on evaluations of the matches throughout the year. Season eight wasnt as spectacular as Sun Xiangs rookie year last season. Sun Xiang had played a leading role in his team and was a fierce opponent.
Team Thunderclaps Dai Yanqi, Team Wind Howls Zhao Yuzhe, Team Royals He Weitang were often mentioned. In the end, Team Wind Howls Zhao Yuzhe won Best Rookie.
Team Wind Howl ended in ninth this season and failed to make it to the playoffs. Their team captain and ace player Lin Jingyans condition was declining due to age. After the duel between him and Tang Hao at the All Star Competition, which he lost, the title of Number One Brawler was no longer his. Their teams other All Star, Fang Rui, had a strong start, but a weak finish this season. The All Star Competition was the start of his decline. On the other hand, Zhao Yuzhes performance was steady all throughout the year, so he won the Best Rookie award.
After the season eight awards were given, the two relegated teams had to be mentioned.
Team Excellent Era and Team Mysterious Fantasy. Because these teams placed second-to-last and last in the regular season, they were relegated.
