Today was Christmas, Qin Mo gave Mojue’s team members a day off to let everyone have a good rest.
These days, the temperature in Changsha had been dropping continuously. Despite it being the holidays, the team didn’t have the mood to go shopping. The sisters, Liu Xiang and Liu Hong, stayed in the dormitory to watch TV series, while Pei Yu and He Beiguang stayed watched ball games. On the other hand, the hyperactive child Shen He was completely restless. He bought a Christmas tree online a few days ago, and it had already been delivered. Carrying the Christmas tree to the training room, he attached colored lights, and hung a lot of red gift bags on it, just like a businessman doing promotional activities…
Li Muran was caught by Shen He, and dragged to participate in this childish thing. His face was stiff the whole time as he stoof by the Christmas tree like a statue.
Shen He was visibly excited after he finished arranging the Christmas tree. “I’ll give everyone a surprise when they come back in the evening, hehehe.”
Li Muran. “…”
Are you sure it will be a surprise and not a shock?
After dinner, all the members of the Mojue team gathered in the training room. The first one who came in was Zhu Qingyue. The presence of the huge Christmas tree stunned him for a few moments, before he smiled. “It must be Shen He who bought it.”
“That’s right! How did great god Qingyue guess it?” Shen He replied excitedly.
Zhu Qingyue thought to himself, this sort of childish behaviour, among the Mojue team, there could be no one other than Shen He who was responsible.
However, on the surface, Zhu Qingyue only smiled and replied. “Because you are the most enthusiastic.”
The praised Shen He was extremely happy. Taking out a gift bag, he handed it to Zhu Qingyue. “Merry Christmas!”
Opening the gift bag, Zhu Qingyue found a piece of candy inside it. He didn’t particularly like sweets, but it was not good to refuse Shen He’s good intentions, so he put it into his pocket.
Then, Liu Xiang and Liu Hong came in and saw a sock-like gift bag on the Christmas tree. Liu Hong picked up one and found the lollipop inside, she opened and ate it. Their expressions were as calm as if they were shopping. Liu Xiang also smiled and took a small bag, also opened and ate it. “Thank you, Xiao He.”
“Why are you so calm?” Shen He scratched his head. “Aren’t you surprised that I set up the Christmas tree?”
“I saw it when you moved the Christmas tree at noon today.” replied Liu Hong calmly.
Shen He. “…” There was no mystery in this!
After entering the training room, Pei Yu looked around the Christmas tree and returned to his seat calmly.
Only He Beiguang showed a ‘stunned’ expression and shouted. “Christmas tree! Wow, why is there such a big Christmas tree in our training room?”
“I bought it online! Assembling it all afternoon.” Shen He replied proudly.
He Beiguang stood excitedly next to the Christmas tree and took a selfie. He also took a group photo with Shen He.
Seeing them making noise, Pei Yu shook his head, leaned over to Li Muran “Their brain frequencies are the same. I feel that they are so childish…”
Li Muran nodded in agreement.
“Why don’t you suggest the captain to change the dormitory and let the big head live with the little monkey?” Pei Yu suggested.
Li Muran shook his head to reject.
Pei Yu wondered: “Why? Don’t you think the little monkey is too noisy? Can you get used to living with him?”

Shen He. “Hehehe, besides lollipops, there are also candies.”
“…” So in the end, it was still entirely sugar, right? Pei Yu stared at him. “Eating this much sugar frequently will cause your teeth to decay.”
Chewing a candy in his mouth, Shen He replied. “Just brush your teeth before going to bed.”
Li Muran thought, it turned out that Shen He ate candy every day, no wonder he always smelled a strange sweetness when approaching him.
At the same time, Xiao Han and Qin Mo also came in and saw the huge Christmas tree before them. Qin Mo gazed at Shen He calmly. “Did you do it?”
Shen He scratched his head. “How can you guess I did it…”
“No one else would do such a thing.” Qin Mo replied.
Shen He was stupefied for a moment, unsure if his master had just praised or scolded him. Smiling, Xiao Han patted his shoulder. “Thank you for your hard work.”
Only then, Shen He became glad “No hard work, it was directly sent downstairs with online shopping! After this finish, I will move the Christmas tree…”
Although the guy was noisy, he obviously wanted the team members to have a happy holiday by arranging this Christmas tree. It was also very festive to see such a big Christmas tree in the training room.
Thinking of this, Qin Mo replied. “You don’t have to move it, leaving it here is fine.”
“This is our Mojue team’s first time celebrating Christmas together,” Xiao Han added. “Xiao Mo and I have prepared some food for you all. We will not train tonight. Instead, let’s watch the game while eating snacks.” He opened the plastic bags he brought, taking out all the fruits, snacks and drinks, and let Shen He share it with others.
Shen He also actively took down the gift bags from the Christmas tree and distributed them to everyone. Sure enough, there were all kinds of candies.
Opening the big screen in the training room, Qin Mo connected it to the official live broadcast platform of Peerless Jianghu.
Today was the preliminary competition of the professional league team, and the officials selected some wonderful games to be replayed on the platform.
The broadcast was playing the competition of the South China division when Qin Mo opened the website. It was Sword Song team VS Nightingale team.
The Nightingale team was given the priority to the game mode. They chose the escort mode, and were automatically given the defensive role. The Nightingale team sent two thick-skinned swordsmen in front. However, the three swordsmen of Sword Song played quite violently. The two front row melee could not withstand their onslaught, and the game ended in just ten minutes.
The second game saw the Sword Song team choosing the game mode, with Lin Shuangcheng choosing the secret letter mode. Sword Song continued using the three swordsmen front row attack lineup, quickly snatched the secret letter and sent the secret letter to the designated NPC, winning the victory neatly.
“People who have watched all sect challenge arena have seen Sword Song team’s strength, and know that their captain Lin Shuangcheng is really powerful. In this preliminary stage, Sword Song has won five games in a row. It seems that no one can stop them from qualifying into the next stage.” Commentator Xiao You praised.
Commentator A-Nan followed suit. “The Sword Song team in the East China division has a strong momentum. The Interlude team in the North China Division has also achieved good results today, and have won five games in a row, earning themselves an advance to the next stage. Tomorrow will be the semi-finals of the professional team preliminaries match. After tomorrow’s match, the teams that qualify in the four major competition areas will be confirmed. Next Wednesday is the finals.”
Xiao You replied. “The alliance has only allocated four places to non-governmental teams, A-Nan, which teams do you think have more hope?”
Thinking for a moment, A-Nan replied. “Both Sword Song and Interlude should be able to get a seat at the finals. After all, Sword Song has Lin Shuangcheng and Interlude has two Luoying Valley’s strongest players. At present, I’m not sure for the other two teams, perhaps there will be unexpected dark horses… I’m not going to speculate. The results will come out next week anyway, and the audience can continue to pay attention to our official Weibo news.”
“After the professional preliminary matches are over, the alliance will also inspect and accept the teams of the major clubs. The first Peerless Jianghu professional league will be formally started on January 15th next year—— it is getting closer to the professional league next year, and I am also a little excited!” Xiao You explained.
“It’s a pity that the two of us can’t be the commentators of the official professional league next year.” A-Nan sighed. “I heard that the alliance will invite some great gods to be the commentators. I don’t know who it is though, but everyone can look forward to it.”
Xiao You laughed. “The next thing to be broadcasted is a match in South China, please continue to pay attention….”
Sitting in the training room, all team members of Mojue were eating melon seeds while watching the matches.
As the preliminary match had nothing to do with them, everyone’s mood was very relaxed, and they commented on the operation of the players from time to time.
In this professional team preliminary matches, there had been many experts with strong personal strength, but most of the captains obviously didn’t have a thorough understanding of the tactical system of Peerless Jianghu. In addition, most of the folk experts lacked experience in competitions. Although the team battle was very exciting, it was still very limited in terms of tactics. At the beginning of the game, many teams rushed to play a wave of team battles, but lost after failing. Counterattacks were rare, and the pace of fighting was fast, and a game often ended in ten minutes
When it came to the professional league stage, it was definitely impossible to fight like this. They should arrange their team according to their opponents’ arrangements and make targeted arrangements.
However, the opponents in the preliminary matches were also randomly generated, and there were obviously not many commanders who could adapt to the circumstances.
The matches were broadcasted until 10:00pm in the evening, after which Qin Mo asked everyone to go back to the dormitory and rest.
The preliminary for four major divisions still continued the next day. Qin Mo didn’t specifically watch it, continuing to train with the team until the evening. Then, he went to the official website to take a look at the list of finals.
On Wednesday, the teams of the four major divisions met in Beijing and decided on the list of the top four in the form of a knockout stage. The final teams were Sword Song team, Whisper team, Interlude team and Graceful Beauty team.
Qin Mo was not surprised that the Graceful Beauty team could reach the top four. At that time, there were many players in the final round of the all sect challenge arena from the team established by Xu Sizhe, and their personal strength was really good. Xu Sizhe should have spent a lot of money to attract many experts from Netcom district to form the Graceful Beauty team. However, the current characteristics of this team were still unclear, and Qin Mo didn’t pay much attention to them.
The captains who were watching the match also politely sent some congratulations to the Peerless Jianghu gossip WeChat group built in Beijing before——
Chu Jianxin: “@LinShuangcheng @SuCheng @LuBoyu, seeing that all your teams have advanced, congratulations.”
Chen Jiang: “Congratulations!”
Nie Yuzhu: “Congratulations everyone.”
Lu Boyu: “Everyone, I want to ask. Can I bring our captain to this group?”
Everyone immediately raised their hands to approve. Furthermore, they emphasized that newcomers should give out red envelopes when they join the group.
Lu Boyu pulled the captain in. The ID of the Whisper’s captain was The Mountain Is No Longer Tall. After joining the group, he changed his name to ‘Luo Yuan’. This was Zhu Qingyue’s senior brother, Chu Yan’s older apprentice, the most powerful expert of the Whisper team and the arena commander, but the people in the group obviously didn’t know his identity, only knew that he was a very high-level auxiliary.
Luo Yuan: “Hello everyone, I’m Whisper team’s captain, please take care of me.”
Luo Yuan has sent a red envelope worth 200 yuan.
Everyone immediately started to grab. Qin Mo was the quickest to respond and had good luck, grabbing 50 yuan at once.
Lin Shuangcheng: “Hey, a great god has been silently watching the screen, grabbing the red envelope so quickly!”
Nie Yuzhu: “God Mo’s speed…”
Chen Jiang: “His luck also goes against the sky, 50 yuan, it’s enough for me to buy three bowls of dumplings.”
Chu Jianxin: “Don’t talk about food at night!!!”
After grabbing the red envelopes, Qin Mo continued to be a silent reader. These people in the group were so fast that they typed while sweeping the screen. He was afraid that these people would take advantage of his black history, so he simply chose to be a silent reader.
Shifting the topic, Lin Shuangcheng replied: “There will be an inspection and acceptance of the team by the alliance soon, is everyone ready?”
Chen Jiang: “I would like to ask everyone, are there any specific standards for the alliance acceptance? It seems that the Peerless Jianghu league does not have relevant regulations?”
Nie Yuzhu: “In the Wulin league, the acceptance of the registered team only depended on the basic conditions of the team, and whether the dormitory and training room were qualified. As long as the team conditions aren’t terrible, the alliance shouldn’t embarrass us, right?”
Qiu Zongping: “The team acceptance in the Miracle league is also a formality. I guess it’s about the same in Peerless Jianghu. We should just wait for the alliance to send someone to visit the team.”
Chu Jianxin: “Be prepared for the leadership inspection, and then it will be the Spring Festival!”
Lin Shuangcheng: “Time flies by so quickly. I always feel as if Peerless Jianghu’s public test was just yesterday and now, the Spring Festival is just around the corner.”
Xiao Han: “That’s right. Time flies, years pass by like a shuttle, and disappears like flickering smoke with a snap of the fingers.”
Su Cheng: “Good poem, good poem [applaud]”
Lin Shuangcheng: “God Han’s modern poem is indeed memorable [kindly smile]”
Chu Jianxin: “God Han’s thinking is unique, and it is expected to develop on the road of literature in the future. His chinese can already pass the eighth grade level.”
Xiao Han: “Thanks for letting me win.”
Everyone: “…”
Qin Mo closed the WeChat group in silence.
According to the results of the preliminaries announced by the alliance and the information they knew so far, the list of teams in the professional league next year had been completely confirmed.
The Wind Colour club, Sky team led by Qiu Zongping, had inherited the consistent lineup of double summoners to control the field. In the 3D perspective game, the cooperation of double summoners with a large number of pets would cause great trouble to opponents. Zhou Xuewei was also a god-level healer player promoted by Qin Mo himself. The overall strength of this new team couldn’t be underestimated.
Huaxia club, Dynasty team led by Chu Jianxin. As Cheng Wei’s apprentice, Chu Jianxin did not learn his master’s disturbing style of play, but was as stable as Mount Tai. He was a very strong front-row player on the Miracle side. Winning the champion of the Peerless Jianghu Kuangdao Gate meat shield group in the single competition, the front row of the Dynasty team would certainly become a nightmare for many teams.
Seven Star Grass Club, Frost Moon team with Chen Jiang and He Yue, the martial brother and sister as the core, inheriting the long whip field control flow. The double whip swept the field to control, causing interference to the opponent’s lineup. The interference should be the strongest of all teams.
Bronze Sparrow Club, Without Fire team led by Nie Yuzhu himself, still continuing the style of Bronze Sparrow’s close combat flow, a team composed of double ring, double sword, long sword, and a group of powerful melee experts, which would obviously become a hot-blooded team with strong impact on the field in the future.
National Grace club, National Grace team led by Li Junru adopted the double poison attack flow. Li Junru was low-key, but her partner An Ling played violently, using the double-poison combined attack and strong blind effect to control the field. In theory, it should also pose a great threat to teams with insufficient control skills.
Among the non-club teams, Lin Shuangcheng’s Sword Song team was mainly composed of long and short swords, forming a close combat team. The combination of long and short swords would be graceful.
Interlude, led by martial brothers Su Cheng and Xie Changming, used Luoying Valley’s characteristic guqin and flute ensemble as the main core, which would probably become a team that not only looked good, but also ‘sounded good’ in the game.
Whisper Team was founded by Zhu Qingyue’s senior brother, Luo Yuan. It continued the auxiliary output tactics initiated by Chu Yan. The combination of black and white umbrella arrays were very unique. Breaking the umbrella array would also become a headache for the captains of major teams.
Xu Sizhe’s Graceful Beauty team had not yet released its full list of players, and had no characteristic lineup at present. Qin Mo’s judgment was that they should not have found their own characteristics, but had only advanced through their personal strength. Such a team might not last long in a league consisting of strong teams.
Mojue team led by Qin Mo and Xiao Han was the most comprehensive team, with Qin Mo’s melee control field and Xiao Han’s outbreak as outputs, plus Shen He’s pet control field, Zhu Qingyue’s strong support, Liu Hong’s mid-range trap control field, Pei Yu’s long-range interference, He Beiguang’s melee resistance, Li Muran’s agility base healer cooperating with a fast attack—— the team’s style was changeable, the team’s lineup was unpredictable, and the only constant was probably Twin Stars as its core.
The first Peerless Jianghu professional league was about to begin, and the winner depended on how the captains arranged their tactics.
They were joking happily and sending red envelopes in the WeChat group, calm on the surface, but it was difficult to cover up the roaring wave.
The alliance was about to officially accept all the teams, and there was only one month left before next year’s league.
“They were joking happily and sending red envelopes in the WeChat group, calm on the surface, but it was difficult to cover up the roaring wave.”
Ah ah ah ah, suka part ini! Jadi keinget Haikyuu waktu Karasuno vs Nekoma Kyaaa (σ≧▽≦)σ
