Chapter 471: Chapter 471
In the VIP box of Ningzhong National Arena, Le Mimi gently nudged the figure who was dozing on the table and softly said:
"Don’t sleep now, the personal match is almost over."
Mu Wanqing, who was still half-awake, suddenly opened her sleepy eyes wide:
Maybe she got up too abruptly, causing Mu Wanqing’s head to feel a bit dizzy as she said:
"Is the personal match over?"
"Has my Feng Hua made an appearance? Is he handsome?"
Beside her, the assistant covered her mouth and giggled:
"Since following you for so long, this is the first time I’ve seen you care so much about someone."
With a teasing expression, the assistant added:
"Could it be you’ve taken a liking to this godly figure you’ve never even met?"
Mu Wanqing used a wet tissue she had prepared to wash her face. Once her head was clear, she rolled her eyes at the assistant:
"Admiration and liking are two different things. What are you thinking?"
Saying this, Mu Wanqing looked towards the luxurious stage outside the window and the crazy audience below, adding:
"Nowadays, men’s minds are filled with nonsensical things. I don’t want to waste my energy on these people."
Le Mimi placed the pre-washed fruit in front of Mu Wanqing, teasing her:
"Then why are you so invested in Feng Hua?"
"That’s not really like you, Wanqing."
Mu Wanqing didn’t mind her assistant’s teasing and calmly replied:
"Now how many people in Hua Country who play games aren’t his fans, huh?"
Just then, the host on stage began announcing the final score rankings for the personal match.
This competition has truly been full of dark horses, exciting and spectacular.
Almost all results went contrary to what the audience had predicted, as the highly anticipated Ningzhong Transportation University surprisingly lost in its contest against the University of Technology, coming second overall.
Third place was originally the favorite: Ningzhong City School of Foreign Languages.
And it was the Transportation University, ranking second, that defeated Foreign Languages School.
Ningzhong University of Technology emerged as an absolute dark horse, taking the first place in the overall personal match points of the Eight School League.
The results were jaw-dropping for everyone.
While countless people were frustrated that the school they backed had lost the match, they couldn’t help but cheer enthusiastically for the thrilling and spectacular personal match.
Even though some lost a few gold coins, people genuinely experienced for the first time how exciting and thrilling it could be to watch this kind of competition offline.
Especially with the music and atmospheric environment, the match was a superb audiovisual experience for everyone present.
The final results of the personal match are:
1№: Ningzhong University of Technology, points: 14
2№: Transportation University, points: 12
3№: School of Foreign Languages, points: 10
4№: University of Finance and Economics, points: 8
5№: Music College, points: 7
6№: Drama College, points: 6
7№: Agricultural University, points: 5
8№: Business College, points: 4
The gap between the first and last place is a huge 10 points.
For the second group match map, each school has 10 flags from their school, meaning a school can only get 10 points even if they gather all their flags.
For the schools that ranked lower in the personal match, it’s safe to say they are basically out of the running for the top three spots.
For either Lin Yi’s School of Foreign Languages or Transportation University to take first place, they not only have to find all their flags but also prevent the University of Technology or Transportation University from getting all their flags.
The lower the ranking in the personal match, the harder it is for a school to get higher placements.
If the University of Technology gathers all flags and scores a full 10 points, it would secure their victory.
Therefore, who will ultimately take the championship in the Eight School League will hinge on the final team match.
When the final results of the personal match were announced, the school representative teams left the stage amidst cheers.
At this point, some previously arranged singing and dancing performances took over the stage, serving as a halftime break to give the audience and competitors some rest time.
On the way to the School of Foreign Languages’ preparation room, a tall and slim young man said with self-reproach:
"I’m sorry, it was my fault for not performing well in the most crucial match, leading to our loss."
These young people, barely in their twenties, all drooped their heads, sighing.
Gao Yijian patted the tall, slim young man on the shoulder and consoled him:
"Don’t blame yourself too much. In that situation, none of us could guarantee a win. Doing what you did was already quite impressive."
This handsome young man was the temporary captain of the School of Foreign Languages’ personal match.
Although they lost, Gao Yijian knew everyone tried their best, so there was nothing to say about the outcome.
Then, the remaining team members also chimed in to offer comfort:
"Yeah, Xie Mengwei, don’t take it too hard. Who would have thought that the sly guys from Transportation University had such tricks up their sleeves? You were not to blame."
A cold laugh came from behind them:
"What? Can’t your Foreign Languages guys handle losing, so you resort to badmouthing others behind their backs?"
Everyone turned around to find the culprits who relegated the Foreign Languages School to third place: Ningzhong City Transportation University.
A hot-tempered one among them pointed at the opponent’s nose and cursed:
"What did you say?! Say it again if you dare!"
In the Transportation University team, the captain Sun Tianxiang, the one who spoke earlier, looked at Gao Yijian and said:
"So, is this the quality of your Foreign Languages School?"
Gao Yijian stopped his agitated teammate and calmly said:
"Don’t escalate everything to the school. You have no right to criticize our school."
"Your win this time was just a fluke. If you want to boast in front of us, wait until you win the ultimate championship."
After saying that, Gao Yijian turned without looking back and walked away:
Sun Tianxiang watched the backs of Gao Yijian and the others with disdain and said:
"Do you guys think inviting Feng Hua guarantees victory?"
"Still hoping for a comeback in the team match? Stop dreaming!"
Transportation University’s team members laughed out loud after he said this.
After hearing this, Gao Yijian and his team didn’t pause and quickly disappeared around the corner.
After finishing the laugh, Sun Tianxiang and his team’s faces started to darken. Someone nearby worriedly asked:
"Captain Sun, do you think our plan will work against Feng Hua?"
Sun Tianci snapped at hearing this:
"How can it not work?"
"Everyone will have the same level and equipment. I don’t believe Feng Hua would magically grow wings to fly."
Meanwhile, Gao Yijian and his team had arrived at their school’s preparation room:
"Boss Feng, we’re back."
Inside, Lin Yi’s voice came out:
Carrying anxious hearts under the puzzled gaze of the staff, they opened the door and entered.
As soon as they entered, they saw Lin Yi approach with a gentle expression, saying: Check latest chapters at novel⟡fire.net
"Well played, you did well."
Gao Yijian looked at Lin Yi in surprise and asked:
"Boss Feng, aren’t you mad at us?"
Lin Yi was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said:
"Victory and defeat are common in competition. As long as you give your best, it’s all that matters. The outcome isn’t something we can always predict."
"Moreover, your opponents relied on special skills from the equipment to beat you. Who could expect a Thief to have Remote Magic?"
"So it wasn’t an unjust loss. There’s nothing to blame.".
Hearing Lin Yi’s words, Gao Yijian’s hanging heart finally rested, and he gratefully said:
"Thank you for understanding, Boss Feng."
Lin Yi patted them on the shoulder and encouraged them:
"Alright, let this matter rest. Don’t dwell on it."
"Adjust your mentality and prepare for the upcoming team match."
Then Lin Yi looked at them, noticing their spirits hadn’t lifted yet, and suddenly raised his voice:
"It’s just a personal match loss. Let’s aim to win the team match back. Are you confident?"
Everyone shouted in unison:
Their once quiet hearts were reignited by Lin Yi’s words, and everyone was invigorated:
"Boss Feng, tell us how we’re going to play next..."
