Chapter 382

~8 min read 1,429 words

The draw results were released, and the audience seats on both sides were incredibly lively.

"Holy crap, V5 seems to be surrounded by LCK... wait, T1 seems to be surrounded by LPL too!?"

"Now Faker is in for a treat. Even if LNG can't do it, there's still JDG to back them up, right? Let's congratulate T1 in advance for stopping in the semifinals for the second consecutive year!"

"Why not mention my WBG? Looking down on my All-God Team, right!"

"Unless Xiaohu is possessed by the Vengeful Spirit and burns into a relic on the spot, otherwise believing WBG can beat T1 is not as good as believing my Top Esports brother can beat T1~"

Obviously, whether it was because T1 was slaughtered by V5 in the S-series group stage a few days ago, or because JDG also defeated T1 to meet in the MSI final, this grouping was considered one of the best results in the eyes of LPL viewers.

But the Korean audience on the other side didn't have this mood, all of them a bit uneasy.

"Pizza!! Won't we really be met by the LPL in the final again to repeat MSI!?"

"Actually, it's a good thing. The ones who advance to the quarterfinals first in this Swiss Stage are the most disadvantaged. V5 hasn't played a match for over ten days, their feel is all gone. Believe in HLE and Gen. G!"

"Exactly, hasn't anyone discovered how fierce our invincible Gen. G is this year? Chovy is really different this year! Believe that Chovy can definitely stop Ye! Not to mention there's Viper!"

"The top priority now is to go buy tickets for the quarterfinals immediately and grab all the tickets! We must exert our home-field advantage!"

The Swiss Stage came to an end, and there would be a one-week off-season before the quarterfinals began.

And to avoid the fatigue of travel affecting their condition, all participating teams generally set off first, leaving Seoul to settle down in Busan, the host city of the quarterfinals.

Of course, there wasn't really any 'fatigue of travel.'

After all, the train ride between these two largest cities in Korea is actually only a little over an hour...

The V5 members also set off directly after seeing the draw results, giving themselves a half-day off—Beryl, whose home is in Busan, strongly invited everyone to visit, not staying in the hotel arranged by Riot.

On the train, Ye Bo took out his phone to surf the internet.

At this time, reviews of the Swiss Stage could be seen everywhere, among which WBG, who fought two tough battles in a row and sent DK to the Round of 16, was undoubtedly the most discussed topic.

【Master Ye is truly 'bringing the dead back to life'! After training for a few days, he can even cure Xiaohu's 'soft' syndrome? Amazing!】

【Case solved, it turns out Master Ye is an air conditioner, blowing spring breezes at Xiaohu all night, making him think it's still spring!】

【Wrong! I can only say those who know, know. WBG's top laner is the real biggest contributor—because our ChaBaidao spokesperson TheShy exerted his strength, personally making a peach four-seasons spring tea for Xiaohu, directly making Xiaohu feel like spring all year round!】

【What's the use? I only know poor Gala is going to the quarterfinals again. Does anyone really think WBG can beat JDG?】

【Hehe, don't forget where these quarterfinals are being played! When the quarterfinals arrive, it will be time for TheShy to show his true martial soul. Don't talk about JDG, by then he'll even chew up V5, T1, and Gen. G together!】

【Damn, 'Train to Busan' right!】

Ye Bo watched the netizens' creative discussions happily.

Suddenly remembering something, he swiped the screen to open Bilibili and searched for his favorite creative content creator.

"New Year? They actually updated two videos!"

There were two newly updated creative short videos on the homepage.

They were: "Ip Man Trains the Tiger (Cultivation Version)" and "Ip Man Trains the Tiger (Anime Version)."

He couldn't wait to click on the first one (Cultivation Version).

The original background was the {1986 version of Journey to the West}.

Ye Bo's version of 'Bodhi Patriarch' walked out, reached out, and knocked three times on the head of the Wukong that was photoshopped onto Xiaohu's round and funny head.

'Xiaohu' felt the pain, and his face instantly turned ridiculously rosy, but his expression was incredibly surprised: "Master, Master! Does your meaning mean you want me to come to the back door in the middle of the night to study, so you can teach me 'Supernatural Powers'?"

'Ye Bo' smiled slightly and shook his head mysteriously.

"Don't you already have supernatural powers?"

The chat was full of 'BOLD!!' comments.

After Xiaohu was stunned for a moment, he showed a sudden realization. At the same time, blue smoke began to emerge from his head as if a pot was boiling, and the tiger head slowly changed, gradually turning into the appearance of a 'French Bulldog'...

"Gah, never had such a wonderful start!! Thank you, Master!"

'Xiaohu' held the Geodude high and shouted the classic line with his unique sharp duck voice.

Just this step almost made Ye Bo spit out a mouthful of water.

And the Bodhi Patriarch 'Ye Bo' in the screen finally just walked away with his back turned: "It's fine, if you cause trouble in the future, just don't mention me as your master..."

Ye Bo wiped the water spray, seeing the abstract image of himself as the protagonist was still a bit hard to bear.

He silently long-pressed to give a 'triple-like' and then switched to watch the second video.

(Anime Version) used "Digimon" as the original background.

This time.

Ye Bo's face appeared on the face of the protagonist Taichi Yagami, and an incredibly chuunibyou AI-simulated voice came out.

"WBG has already reached the edge of life and death at 1-2, it's time! Xiaohu!"

"Don't worry, I'll be the one to press down Darwin's coffin lid."

"Grass! Shoe! Worm————Evolve!"

"Earth! Worm————Re-evolve!"

"Metal! Garuru! Super! Evolve!"

"A national first-class protected animal! Known as the Spring Tiger Emperor, Summer Tiger Brother, Autumn Tiger, but a special Digimon that no one has ever seen—the November Northeast Tiger—Super! Ultimate! Xiaohu! Beast!"

Combined with the chat of the video, it looked even more heaven-defying.

【Evolution Theory of the Tiger: Amoeba → Earthworm → Fierce Tiger King → Earth Tiger Hero → Decepticon!】

【Something Darwin studied for a lifetime, Master Ye verified in just two League of Legends matches. Great, no need to say more!】

【Still not enough, if he wants to beat T1, Master Ye must give him another choice of the strongest, toughest, and most domineering evolution route—that is, Sea Tiger (Buddhist bead sound)!】

【So for this draw result, I can only say: Good draw, why is it a good draw?】

【I can only say Uzi is a bit unlucky. Since even Xiaohu can be trained by Master Ye, I dare not imagine how strong Uzi would be if he were trained to master the 'God-level Temperature Control' skill!】

【Are you there? Train me first.】

Amidst the endless fun videos and post discussions, the train arrived at its destination.

After the V5 group landed, they took a taxi to a destination that seemed a bit far from the city center...

"What the??"

"A mansion! Brother Yuanshen!"

"My turtle, the Great Beryl Manor!"

Everyone looked at the detached villa on the hillside in front of them, and except for Deft who had been there once, everyone was very surprised.

Although they had heard on the way that Beryl had basically invested the money he earned from playing professionally over the years into houses, focusing on being an ultimate 'homebody.'

But seeing such a luxurious multi-story hillside villa, they were still a bit surprised.

Walking into the house, it was even more full of Beryl's 'personal characteristics.'

Figures were placed in every corner, and life-sized dolls of various two-dimensional games were endless. Calling it a 'Cyber Harem' wouldn't be an exaggeration!

Old-fashioned arcade machines, old-fashioned game consoles, Switch, PS5, naturally go without saying—there were even more than one professional five-man 'esports room'!

"No wonder Brother Yuanshen said we can train here, holy crap! This esports room is simply my dream house!" Xun envied, his mouth full of sourness.

"Envious? Envy is useless, this room is mine!" Brother Flandre hugged him and teased.

Beryl chuckled and waved his hand: "There's another one upstairs. Ah, anyway, for things that can be solved without going out, try to solve them at home~"
