Chapter 799 All-Star, Las Vegas!
There is a saying that goes: Those who are involved are often confused, while those who are on the sidelines can see clearly.
But...
This statement is not absolute.
Just like seeing a ferocious beast in a video, we often feel that it is nothing special, and even have the illusion that it can be solved with a sliding tackle.
If you really come face to face with a ferocious beast, even if you have taken the best precautions, you will still shudder and feel trembling, and may even exhibit physiological behaviors that would cause you to be scolded at the age of eight and to be praised at the age of eighteen.
The same is true for professional leagues.
The audience only knows that Xing Dao is the undisputed number one top laner in the world, but they do not have enough understanding of how strong his oppressive power is.
Only the players in the game, especially King Ning who likes to focus on the top lane, realized how unreasonable Xing Daoqiang is.
Even in the regular season's 'hero training' mode, he possesses unique strengths.
In the playoffs and the World Championship, he starts in serious mode. He is like the peak Thanos hammering the Avengers with six gems in his hands. He can easily take down a seemingly top opponent.
If you have a thigh like this to hold on to, wouldn't it be a waste of people?
"Brother Jie is here! Brother Jie is here!"
When Baolan saw Xing Dao before the group set off, she shouted excitedly, "Brother Jie, here, here. You beat me up in three games in the finals. I'm going to lie down with you this time!"
"Brother Jie, will you still play in the competition next year? Everyone says you are going to retire?" King Ning is looking forward to the subsequent matches.
"Whether we will play or not is a secret. I can't tell you now." Xing Dao kept his mouth shut: "This year's All-Stars is basically for entertainment. You don't have to care about winning or losing. You can just show off."
The tempers were much lower during this All-Star Game than in previous ones.
Mainly for entertainment.
Not only did it arrange modes such as Charity 2v2 Championship, Extreme Blitz, Two-Player Mode, Unlimited Firepower, and East-West Showdown, but it also brought in commentators, hosts, and retired veterans from major regions, as well as Vietnam, Southeast Asia, Brazil, Latin America, Oceania, Small World, CIS, and Turkey.
The abbreviations of these divisions are also very interesting.
In Türkiye, it is TCL, which has the same name as a certain electrical appliance brand.
Oceania... is OPL.
OP is here!
The other contestants don't know this yet.
When Xing Dao saw this abbreviation, he almost burst out laughing the first time.
certainly.
In this year's All-Star Game, the one-on-one mode is still there, which is different from the S game, and the two stages of the European and American confrontation and the China-Korea confrontation are still arranged.
But whether it is the confrontation between Europe and the United States or the confrontation between China and South Korea, active players will not be allowed to fight together.
I am much less irritable now.
Even if you lose, it won’t be brought up as an issue.
"Hi, Brother Jie!"
Zhou Shuyi, who was chatting in another small circle, also came over: "We have a chance to be together again. We were a little awkward last time. Let's work together well this time!"
"It's okay to cooperate, but..." Xing Dao tried to hold back, but couldn't help it: "Sister Zhou, can you please stop pinching your throat and speak normally? I'm scared when you do this."
"What do you mean by speaking with a pinched throat? I have always spoken like this!" Zhou Shuyi continued in the clamp mode.
"Stop, stop!" Xing Dao said, "Who doesn't know who? Sister Zhou, if you keep using that voice, can you still call the anti-... fighter?"
"Hahahahahaha!" Yu Shuang, who walked over here together, was amused so much that she fell backwards.
"Oh, that's so annoying!" Zhou Shuyi did it again.
I was about to continue.
King Ning, with pockmarks all over his face, raised his hand to cover his mouth and uttered a "ugh" sound.
This time.
It's not just the remaining frost.
Those who were going to Las Vegas together burst into laughter.
This is so fucking weird!
Considering Zhou Shuyi's looks, even if she spoke with a simmered voice which was a huge contrast to her usual self, she wouldn't spit it out, okay?
You know.
As long as the recoil fighter becomes a mute bride, he can make many brothers move.
Compared with Ning Wang's endocrine disorder and pockmarked face...it should be Zhou Shuyi who vomited!
"Hey I——"
Zhou Shuyi tried her best to suppress the word "Ni Ma": "Is it disgusting for me to talk like this?"
“No, no, sorry, sorry.” King Ning apologized repeatedly: “I stayed up all night last night, ate too much when I came out of the base, and just now I jogged for a while, so I feel a little nauseous.”
"Why do you eat so much? There are airplane meals on the plane!" Xing Dao changed the subject.
"Airplane food is so disgusting." King Ning shook his head: "I thought I would not sleep, eat a little more, and sleep on the plane until I'm almost there... It's not that I feel sick because of what Sister Zhou said!"
"Yes, yes, I believe it." Xing Dao said seriously , but his face showed an expression of 'brother, I understand everything'.
It almost broke Zhou Shuyi's defense.
Fortunately, the good guy Shen Chao also arrived at the gathering point, greeted the active players, and chatted about topics related to men.
After everyone arrived, they boarded the bus and headed to Pudong International Airport.
This year's All-Star Game will be held in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA, which is the gambling city and world entertainment capital often mentioned in old Hong Kong movies.
In terms of geographical location, Las Vegas does not have an advantage.
Because it is located on the edge of the desert, the climate and environment are relatively harsh. It is also an abandoned mining town. Polluted water sources and abandoned buildings can be seen everywhere. Even the residential areas are dilapidated and not much different from slums.
But as the gambling industry flourished, capital from all over the world gathered here.
Among them were not only wealthy businessmen and tycoons, but even princes from the Arab region who had made investments. In just a few decades, this barren land had developed into a modern city with a population of 2.22 million.
There are no direct flights from Pudong Airport to Las Vegas in the near future.
After nearly sixteen hours of transfer, the group finally arrived at their destination and stayed in a hotel near the Esports Arena.
After resting for a few hours, we went to a nearby restaurant for dinner.
Visit nearby attractions.
Although Las Vegas is a well-known gambling city with a series of derivative industries, its public security ranks first among major cities.
The reason is simple.
——I paid enough taxes.
As long as you are in a wealthy area, you don't have to worry about any accidents.
Las Vegas management is more concerned about the personal safety of tourists than the tourists themselves.
After all, the loss of tourists is just the loss of one life, while a murder will cause a significant drop in Las Vegas' revenue.
At last year's music festival, a shooting occurred in Las Vegas that resulted in 59 deaths and 851 injuries, which made public security management even more stringent afterwards.
Police officers patrolling with guns can be seen almost everywhere.
Therefore, black people are rarely seen.
The group strolled along the Las Vegas Strip, watched the Banshee Show in front of the Treasure Island Hotel and the mirage formed by lights and fountains, and went to the botanical gardens and art galleries. They returned to the hotel in the early hours of the morning to rest and wait for the sun to rise the next day.
