Chapter 60: Taking things out of context is from "Don't Take Things Out of Context!"
Taizi Live Room.
After finishing the match, the first thing Zz1tai did was turn on the chat to see how his viewers were praising him.
"Guys! Tell me, wasn't that amazing?! Hahaha, Eggplant totally fooled me! I think we have a chance at the championship!"
If he hadn't acted that way, some viewers would have actually praised him in the comments, but after he did that...
The viewers in the live stream instantly formed a united front!
【No, you actually won!】
Did you bribe the officials? You've got such a great hand!
To be honest, if you got three flashy cards as your last three cards, you wouldn't be complaining!
[We've spoken; this hand is unwinnable for anyone!]
[It means Eggplant trusts you. If I were Eggplant, you'd be the first person I kill!]
What's so great about barely making it to the next round?
Making it to the finals is quite an achievement!
[You still want to win the championship? You're the one with the most unrealistic dreams among these contestants!]
He completely ignored what the comments said about him; he only responded to those that praised him.
"Haha, I'm awesome! Of course you're awesome!"
"I'm the most beautiful one, hahaha, just tell me I'm handsome!"
[Okay, okay! So you want to quote out of context instead of taking things out of context, right?]
[You're a grown adult, and you have absolutely no shame!]
After showing off in front of his viewers, Zita immediately connected with Qiezi and Lao Ma via live stream.
"I'm so sorry, betraying my brothers feels terrible! If this weren't a competition, I would have let you guys win no matter what, hahaha!"
On the other side of the screen, Old Ma, who was playing Eggplant, had a black line on his face. Winning by his own initiative was acceptable.
But the two of them couldn't accept that Zita was advancing by stepping on their heads!
This is a slap in the face!
Eggplant: "You're just lucky. If the rebels weren't too strong and didn't have time to deal with you, you would have been taken care of long ago!"
Old Ma: "It was just good luck. I got really good cards in the last few rounds. I was the one who dealt all the damage in the early game, why don't you mention that!"
Indeed, what they said is true. If it weren't for Lao Ma [Huang Yueying]'s powerful output, they might not have been able to win.
But there's no way around it, that's what traitors do!
"Look at you all! You're all in such a hurry! Just tell us who advanced in the end!"
Their nostrils were practically pointing to the sky; whoever won among the three of them would be their father!
"Oh right, you guys didn't forget about cosplaying Dong Zhuo and Diao Chan, did you? I remember perfectly well!"
The two fell silent the moment the topic was brought up.
If he were to cosplay in the live stream, it would be a nice "gift" for the viewers. But to wear this cosplay outfit to an offline live stream at Langyu Studio is just embarrassing.
Everyone thought it wasn't them at the time, but now that the results are out, they're all stunned.
Seeing this, he said lightly:
"Since none of you are saying anything, I'll decide this for you. Who will be Dong Zhuo... and who will be Diao Chan?"
"Hey! Master Tai, you must be tired from the competition. Do you need to bother with such a small matter? I'll just play Dong Zhuo!"
Eggplant reacted quickly, immediately adopting a flattering attitude while chatting.
These two cosplay characters have good and bad aspects; at least Dong Zhuo is a man!
Old Ma finally realized what was happening.
"Taiye, to be honest, your results are truly impressive. I feel like the championship is beckoning you. I think Eggplant is a good fit for Diaochan, and I'll take the Dong Zhuo role!"
"I'll do it! I'll do it!"
"No, no, no! I'll do it!"
He revealed a satisfied expression: "Little eggplant, little girl, I've kind of forgotten what the special effects for the sports car are..."
[Eggplant delivered 10 sports cars!]
[Old Ma delivered 10 sports cars!]
"Hahaha, not bad! Not bad!"
...
After the Group A matches concluded, the qualifying rounds for the other groups also ended in the following days.
Ran Xiaona, Jiu Shen, and the top three from the last offline competition have all successfully advanced to the semifinals.
After another round of group assignments, Zita and Jiu Shen were grouped together.
Today is the first day of the semifinals!
Main live stream room
During the past few days of the competition, the live stream's popularity has exceeded 200 million, attracting not only players who like the game but also many casual viewers.
DH Live platform even specially released a cover for the "Three Kingdoms Kill" competition, and the increasing number of participants is also a good thing for them!
Su Keke and Bai Xiaotong sat down in the commentary booth again.
"Hello everyone, welcome to the semi-finals of the 'Three Kingdoms Kill' streamer competition!"
"After four days of fierce competition, congratulations to Ran Xiaona, Zhang Bucai, Zitai... and others for successfully advancing to the semifinals!"
"Enough with the chit-chat, let's begin today's match!"
The player's demeanor at this moment was much more confident than before.
His expression in front of the camera was very natural, and he would occasionally make a funny face to amuse his viewers.
"Brothers, even though we can't see the comments, I'm sure you're all cheering me on, haha! I'll bring you some goodies in return!"
After the last round of competition, Zita has been watching the other groups' matches every day, but after watching a whole round...
The other contestants are nothing special!
There's nothing complicated about it, you can do it yourself!
So my mindset today is different from the first competition!
However, the comments didn't turn out as he had imagined.
[He's getting cocky! He's definitely getting cocky; this kid isn't nervous at all!]
[Old Ma won with Eggplant, he's getting cocky!]
[Let's see how they play. If they win today, I'll praise them; if they lose, I'll criticize them!]
If you lose, you have to cosplay with Eggplant and the others!
Games start.
In the first game, he started as a "rebel" and chose "Gan Ning".
His idea was simple: to use a surprise attack: you can use a black card as a way to destroy the bridge after crossing the river.
To disrupt other players' hands and allow teammates to launch an attack.
The idea was good, and the posture was successfully executed. At the beginning, four black cards were drawn, ready to be used as a "crossing the river and burning the bridge" move.
But as the game reached its climax, his only remaining teammates were labeled as "forgetting home and enjoying themselves."
Without a second thought, he used the skill [Surprise Attack], but all he heard was the echo of [Curtain].
This left both commentators dumbfounded.
"Um... Zz1tai's idea is good, but has he forgotten that his teammate is [Jia Xu]?"
Bai Xiaotong directly pointed out the mistake in Zita's operation.
"Sometimes I make this mistake too, focusing too much on how to use my hand cards and ignoring the skills of other generals. I remember once I gave Lu Xun the skill 'Enjoying Life in Shu'."
Su Keke chose to use self-deprecation to defuse the situation.
But the players who came to participate had played at least several hundred games, if not every day.
This kind of mistake shouldn't have happened...
This is not something a captain would do...
At this moment, Zita's face turned red. This was a competition, after all, with tens of thousands of people watching.
How many people will criticize me for this stupid move!
Teammate [Jia Xu] didn't say anything. That's just how the game is. Otherwise, he would have thrown a basket of eggs at him long ago!
As expected, the teammate skipped the turn and the Loyal Minister and the Lord teamed up to eliminate Jia Xu.
The remaining leader, Gan Ning, is also struggling to carry the burden alone.
Thus, the first round of the competition ended in defeat.
Can't you use your brain a little?!
[Are you just wasting your black "Forget Home" phone like that?!]
[If you hadn't made that move, we might have won. Did you take money from the other side?]
To be honest, even if it were Eggplant or Old Ma, they wouldn't have pulled off such an outrageous play!
During the break between the end of the first game, I glanced at the live chat.
Good guy!
Spray him until he's numb!
The live stream, which originally had 50 viewers, instantly gained 70.
Don't even think about it; these people are all here to insult him.
This put a lot of pressure on him; he absolutely had to win the next match!
The second game,
The player who is the "Lord" wins, while the player who is the "Rebel" wins.
The third game,
The "Loyal Minister" and the "Traitor" win.
Fourth game,
The player who identifies as a "rebel" wins.
Fifth game,
The rebel is the victor!
They won only the last game out of five, and were eliminated as expected!
"Our first group's competition has concluded! Players Jiu Shen and Zhang Bucai... have successfully advanced!"
"Don't be discouraged if you didn't make it; we still have a revival round. Let's try again!"
"That concludes today's match! Thank you for your support!"
With Su Keke and Bai Xiaotong announcing the end of the competition, the first group of semi-finals came to a close.
The chat in Zita's live stream was completely different from the previous few days; it felt like riding a rollercoaster.
But after all, he's a big streamer who's seen it all, so his attitude remained the same as always.
"Putting everything else aside, brothers, please vote in the revival round! Nation wars are my forte!"
Zita was somewhat expecting this result, after all, he's not a technical streamer, and reaching the semifinals is already quite an achievement.
Moreover, this competition also produced many memorable moments, which increased his fan base.
[Haha, I knew it! This result from ER is normal!]
[Everyone else plays "Three Kingdoms Kill" professionally, but I still have to say, you're a noob!]
Brothers, vote for Erzi! I want to see how he performs in the nation war!
Of course, this achievement also owes much to the attention of his two good friends.
"Hey! Zita, don't be too sad, it's just one game you didn't win... hahaha!"
"I get it! The most important thing is that the three of us are together. Come down and join us, right? Hahahaha!"
Eggplant and Old Ma are best friends who keep up a good fight!
Zitai had anticipated this scenario, but no matter what, he had won the bet!
"You two, don't say that. Don't you know who won and who lost the bet?"
Eggplant: "Ahem... I admit my voice was a bit loud just now. I'll cosplay Dong Zhuo, I'm sure..."
Old Ma: "Brother Tai, I've banned him from using the microphone! Actually, it was Eggplant who made me do it, my heart is still with you!"
"The baby died, and now you're here to nurse! The car crashed into a tree, and now you know to turn!"
"Nothing else matters! I've bought you both the cosplay outfits and booked your plane tickets. Neither of you will be able to escape!"
eggplant:......
Old Ma: ......
