Chapter 36 Fake match
Ye Xiu was feeling a little lazy at this moment.

Most of his attention is now on the League of Legends internal beta test in the next two days, and he has no interest in the All-Star Weekend.

The gap in hard power in the match that just took place was so huge that there is basically nothing to explain.

As a result, he even felt a little sleepy now.

However, this slight drowsiness almost disappeared when Gao Yingjie came on stage.

Especially when he proposed to challenge Wang Jiexi.

A civil war between the magic sects? A civil war between Tiny Herb? And the No. 1 genius against the No. 1 magic sect in the world?

What was Gao Yingjie thinking? Ye Xiu was a little confused.

This confusion reached its peak when he saw Wang Jiexi's condition.

In general rookie challenges, the seniors being challenged usually don't get too excited. On the one hand, they are being polite, and on the other hand, they want to conserve their strength.

Although this will make the entire game seem like feeding answers to the audience, it is an old tradition of the All-Star Game after all.

But Wang Jiexi is different.

At this moment, he was full of energy and his spirit was almost as good as when he participated in the finals.

As soon as he heard Gao Yingjie's words, he strode onto the stage.

Why is Wang Dayan so excited today? This isn't an important match, is it? Ye Xiu was a little confused.

Wait! Could it be that...

Ye Xiu suddenly thought of something, and his whole body shuddered, with his pupils shrinking to the size of a needle tip in an instant.

The slight bit of sleepiness disappeared completely in that instant, and the body that was lazily leaning on the back of the chair suddenly sat up straight.

Ye Xiu's expression turned ugly.

Wang Dayan, you bastard, you don’t really want to do that, do you?

Don't do anything stupid...

No matter what Ye Xiu thought, the duel finally began.

From the very beginning, the fight showed a completely different intensity from before. Neither side treated this match as a rookie challenge. Brooms, flasks, lava, acid rain, were flying all over the screen.

But as time went on, something happened that shocked everyone.

Gao Yingjie was beating his captain so hard that Wang Jiexi was defeated.

Suppressed exclamations rang out in every corner of the venue, mixed with discussions as subtle as the hum of mosquitoes.

But there are also places where the atmosphere is a little different.

In the Blue Rain waiting area, the atmosphere was as depressing as death, and this unbearable and depressing atmosphere came from their captain Yu Wenzhou.

Yu Wenzhou's face now looked unusually ugly, as if he was filled with astonishment and anger, but also with deep sorrow and grief.

"Wang Jiexi, you are confused..." He just kept repeating this sentence.

"Captain, what happened?" In the end, it was the bravest Huang Shaotian who mustered up the courage to ask the question that confused everyone.

"Wang Jiexi...didn't complete all the skill points." Yu Wenzhou closed his eyes in pain and sighed, as if his energy and spirit had dissipated a little with this breath.

Huang Shaotian was stunned for a moment, then he suddenly realized.

No wonder even though the two seemed to be evenly matched, Wang Jiexi's health dropped faster than Gao Yingjie's.

It turns out it’s because of the skill points.

But why would Wang Jiexi's giving in to Gao Yingjie make the captain so miserable?

As if seeing Huang Shaotian's doubts, Yu Wenzhou continued in a low voice:

"Wang Jiexi's release this time is different from that of other All-Stars."

"First, he changed the outcome of the game. Originally, he should have won the game, but now it seems that Gao Yingjie will probably win. This means that he caused the consequences;"

"Secondly, he left evidence behind. Unlike other people who can excuse their mistakes by saying they were in bad shape, he didn't have any skill points. It's easy to find out if you're willing to investigate."

"And once it's discovered, the nature of the matter will be different." He didn't say the rest.

But Huang Shaotian had already guessed what he was going to say, which was nothing more than the word that represented the highest taboo in competitive sports:

Match-fixing.

"Is it that serious?" Huang Shaotian began to sweat coldly, but he still refuted subconsciously.

After all, this is just a rookie challenge, it has no impact on the regular season or playoffs, and there is no prize money or anything like that.

"That depends on whether anyone takes it too seriously." Yu Wenzhou shook his head.

Things like letting the game go and intentionally losing at the All-Stars Game are typical of a problem that is so heavy that even a giant god would not be able to handle it.

No one thinks deeply about it. It is just a courtesy from the veteran to the newcomer. If it is managed well, it can even become a good story.

But once someone takes it too far...

No matter how simple, informal, or fun the Rookie Challenge is, it is still called a "competition" after all.

If the game is let down in such a way with obvious evidence, once it is confirmed, it will be regarded as a fixed match!

By then, once public opinion ferments again, Wang Jiexi, Gao Yingjie, and even the entire Weicao will be finished!

Wang Jiexi, Wang Jiexi, how can you be so bold? Yu Wenzhou has never wanted to pull someone by the collar and scold him like he does now.

Even though he and Wang Jiexi could be considered a pair of old enemies in the alliance, when his opponent was about to face a catastrophic disaster, all he could feel was sadness.

"Should...Shouldn't anyone be so idle...Who would be so bored as to cause trouble for others at the All-Stars...Huh?"

Huang Shaotian was still trying to be stubborn, but when he was halfway through his words, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

Because of the guests, there should have been three voices in the commentary booth today.

But since when, there were only two left speaking.

Ye Xiu...how long has it been since he last spoke?
Huang Shaotian looked towards the commentary booth with a scared look on his face.

Ye Xiu’s face was so gloomy that water seemed to be dripping out of it. Even though they were almost a hundred meters apart, Huang Shaotian could still see the gnashing of teeth and anger on his face.

Damn, I forgot this guy was here!

Ye Xiu invested in President Pei of Tenghai, but President Pei’s mind was full of glory.

Now, such a good opportunity is in their hands, how can they not take action?
Huang Shaotian closed his eyes in despair.

...Wang Jiexi! Wang Dayan! Bastard! You are so brave!
Ye Xiu was indeed gritting his teeth at this moment.

Wang Jiexi, this bastard, actually lost skill points in public. Does he really not know what he is doing?

Of course he knew it, but he was just gambling.

There is no time left. Pei Yunteng may attack Rong Yao at any time. By then, the sky will collapse and the earth will break apart. The newcomers will definitely be in the most miserable situation in such an environment.

He must use the most violent means on the most watched stage to send Yingjie to the vast clouds.

Even if the price is so unacceptable.

So he took a gamble, betting that Ye Xiu would be soft-hearted, betting that Ye Xiu would not kill him, his old friend and rival, and betting on this slim chance of survival.

And he...did not make a wrong bet.

Ye Xiu really softened his heart.

Although he had followed Pei Yunteng in doing many things to backstab Glory, that was after all aimed at the entire Glory Alliance.

Pei Yunteng has his own vision and disdains to take action against specific players.

Even Liu Hao and Sun Xiang, who brought their own misfortune, were left a way to survive in the end.

And this time, once he takes action, Wang Jiexi will inevitably be ruined and fall from the top of the gods into the endless hell.

He... couldn't do it.

He was so confused that he didn't dare to look at the battlefield anymore and could only look around the venue.

Suddenly, he saw Blue Rain's waiting area.

As if noticing his gaze, Yu Wenzhou raised his head, looked at him, and shook his head slightly.

Forget it, there's no need. Just this once, that guy gets away with it.

Ye Xiu smiled bitterly.

He continued to scan until his eyes returned to the competition stage.

This time, his gaze intersected with Wang Jiexi’s.

At this time, Wang Jiexi had been gradually forced into a desperate situation by Gao Yingjie. He should have resisted with all his might, but he took a moment to look at Ye Xiu.

Ye Xiu swore that he had never seen such a look in this guy's eyes in his life.

Humble, pleading, vulnerable, and even a little bit of flattery.

Really, this guy, he knew how to save himself when he was in danger.

Ye Xiu's upright body had gradually shrunk back into the commentator's chair, and he became a little lazy again.

Well, just let him go this time, it’s no big deal.

But just then, someone tapped him on the shoulder.

It's the All-Star period now, who can come to the commentary booth?
Ye Xiu turned his head in surprise and suddenly became stunned.

Short orange hair, delicate features that are 70% similar to Su Mucheng...

It’s Su Muqiu.

At this moment, Su Muqiu's face did not have his signature sunny smile, but instead there was a certain solemnity and solemnity.

"Ye Xiu," he didn't call him Old Ye, but his tone was as solemn as before, "Have you lost your passion for competitive sports?"

A heart for competitive sports? Ye Xiu was stunned.

There are many opinions about the spirit of competitive sports, but there is one word that can never be avoided.

Fair! Fair! Damn it, fair!
At this moment, Su Muqiu's figure shattered and disappeared like a mirror.

Ye Xiu suddenly shuddered and realized that he was still in the commentary booth.

However, his body was completely soaked with cold sweat.

"Have I lost my passion for competitive sports?" he murmured.

At the same time, his eyes had quietly become completely different.

Wang Jiexi noticed this and his body trembled violently as if he had been electrocuted, and most of his energy was lost at once.

He knew he had lost the bet.

I didn’t lose to Ye Xiu’s friendship, but I lost to Ye Xiu’s original intention.

That competitive heart that should belong to all participants in competitive sports!

As a result of his slackness, Wang Jiexi's operation suddenly became disorganized. Gao Yingjie naturally could not miss such an opportunity. He swept Wang Jiexi's character with a broom and he fell to the ground.

There was thunderous cheering from the audience, and everyone was cheering for this wonderful game and the rise of a super genius.

"Let us congratulate player Gao Yingjie! He created a miracle and defeated his old captain, the league's great player Wang Jiexi!" the commentator praised passionately.

But at this moment, he finally discovered that something was wrong with Ye Xiu. Seeing Ye Xiu's cold and serious face, he was immediately at a loss.

"Is there...something wrong? Ye Shen?"

Soon, the audience also noticed something was wrong on the commentary stage, and countless eyes were cast towards Ye Xiu.

Only Wang Jiexi, who had lost his spirit, and Yu Wenzhou, who kept shaking his head, did not look over.

At the point where their eyes converged, Ye Xiu took a deep breath.

Finally, those words that sounded like judgment were spoken.

"The game is boring. Wang Jiexi lacked skill points."

"He let the water go."

　The second update is here and will be there soon.

　　To be honest, I was really conflicted when writing this chapter. Whether I should write it and how to write it were things I thought about over and over again.

　　But I finally wrote it.

　　Honor's attitude towards match-fixing is too frivolous.

　　There must be a painful enough lesson to sound a loud enough alarm for them.

　　Fans of Vici Gaming, if you want to curse, just go ahead. It’s my fault and I take full responsibility.
