Undoubtedly, ever since the Seven Silver Coins entered the public eye, they’ve maintained extremely high popularity due to various reasons.
However, this time, it still managed to refresh everyone’s perception — in the holographic e-sports circle, it’s possible to generate intense attention through scandalous relationships.
PoisonedMilk and Yu Weize announced their relationship!
As this news quickly spread like wildfire, even some of the century cup gaming gods, who had discreetly followed the Seven Silver Coins’ situation, couldn’t contain themselves.
Return to Spring’s Skillful Hands was the first to come forward.
Friend messages began pouring in one after another.
[Return to Spring’s Skillful Hands: So, this is the reason you rejected me?!]
[Return to Spring’s Skillful Hands: Is it really just for the convenience of dating that you didn’t join our Blood Roses?!]
[Return to Spring’s Skillful Hands: Let me tell you, your actions are very wrong! I never expected you, Yu Weize, to be like this?!]
Faced with Return to Spring’s Skillful Hands’s increasing exclamation marks, Han Yuze, who had been in a good mood these days, remained unaffected.
[Yu Weize: Otherwise, what should I be like?]
[Yu Weize: Isn’t this reason enough? Or shall I say, if I had come to your Blood Roses, could you provide me with a better boyfriend than PoisonedMilk?]
Even through communication, the last three words “better boyfriend” still seemed resonant.
If Return to Spring’s Skillful Hands were present, she might have already poked him with her wand.
[Return to Spring’s Skillful Hands: Is it about providing a boyfriend? I mean, at that time, you all coming over to us would have been so much easier; no need to struggle with this Nianhua’s Cup.]
[Yu Weize: Old Spring, I see you’re getting old, becoming more and more verbose.]
[Return to Spring’s Skillful Hands: …Bah!]
[Yu Weize: Also, we didn’t choose to come over because of some friends here. Plus, someone like PoisonedMilk, who likes freedom, absolutely doesn’t want to be limited by professional status.]
[Yu Weize: It’s good as it is now, joining Nianhua’s Cup, casually competing, having fun.]
[Return to Spring’s Skillful Hands: Huh, listening to you, it sounds like you’re not prepared to go for the Century Cup championship.]
[Yu Weize: I really am not prepared.]
Seeing the last five words, Return to Spring’s Skillful Hands furrowed her brow. Just as she was about to reply, she saw Han Yuze send another message.
[Yu Weize: Of course, if we happen to grab the championship while playing around, that wouldn’t be our problem.]
[Yu Weize: It would only show that you guys are too weak. Right, God Spring?]
Return to Spring’s Skillful Hands: “…”
Screw off! Goodbye!
After sending this message, no matter how Han Yuze greeted her, Return to Spring’s Skillful Hands didn’t utter another word.
The mistake of coming to chat with this guy today was her biggest error!
Actually, there were many people in the circle like Return to Spring’s Skillful Hands who made these associations.
Specifically, practically all the professional guilds that attempted to recruit Yu Weize and were rejected inevitably realized the real reason behind their failure.
Loving beauty but not loving the nation.
This phrase applied to Yu Weize suddenly made perfect sense.
In the official forum’s gossip section, threads started discussing the celestial love story between these two. Meanwhile, as the first and final round of the Eight-into-Four matches began, it captured everyone’s attention.
While love is precious, the bragging that the Seven Silver Coins put forth during the press conference was still fresh in everyone’s minds. This made people curious to see if they would deliver on their promises or face humiliation.
What everyone most desired to witness was the Seven Silver Coins stopping at the quarter-finals.
However, as the matches ended that day, these expectations were predictably shattered.
With the first-round ranking securing their position, the Seven Silver Coins held an absolute advantage in this stage of the Eight-into-Four. Essentially, as long as they didn’t fall outside the top four places in the final standings, they could almost guarantee a spot in the finals. Moreover, in this match, they showed unprecedented enthusiasm.
This enthusiasm was mainly displayed by Han Yuze.
Observing the previous matches would reveal that Yu Weize, ever since joining the Seven Silver Coins, had diligently played the role of a supportive figure.
His non-competitive demeanor, compared to his time in the Crusaders, was significantly meeker.
Previously, perhaps the reason wasn’t clear, but now, considering the official announcement a few days ago, everyone suddenly understood.
It wasn’t a change in character; it was more likely a case of using one thing to subdue another!
And today, at the scene of the quarter-finals, the previous Yu Weize returned once again.
Describing it as unstoppable force meets immovable object wouldn’t be an exaggeration.
Previously, in Nianhua’s Cup, due to the opponents being too weak, the mechanical forces never exerted their full power. But now, it was a wave after wave of explosion, displaying a complete massacre on the scene.
With Han Yuze, nurtured by love, he almost missed giving the audience a 1v5 spectacle on the field.
He practically slaughtered wherever he went, leaving a trail of bodies. Even the other teammates of the Seven Silver Coins hardly managed to take many kills from his hands.
The scene was too brutal, so much so that even after the match ended, the atmosphere remained submerged in silence due to the overwhelming impact, taking a while to recover.
It wasn’t until the final rankings appeared on the enormous virtual display screen in the air that everyone realized the quarter-final stage had indeed concluded.
The official commentators quickly adjusted their stance and announced the guilds advancing to the semifinals.
Based on the current ranking situation, the four guilds that made it to the next round were: Seven Silver Coins, Iron Slaughter, Night Walkers, and Crafty Guild.
Thus, Nianhua Cup finally entered the stage of the ultimate championship battle.
Although this list was mostly speculative, as the competition progressed, everyone’s mindset seemed to have subtly shifted.
Regardless of whether the Seven Silver Coins truly intended to compete for the Century Cup championship as they claimed, the upcoming Nianhua’s Cup Grand Finals next week already gave a sense of finality to many.
Who would emerge as Nianhua’s Cup champion?
Clearly, Iron Slaughter and Night Walkers were strong contenders. However, when this question arose, the first thing that came to everyone’s mind was the phrase “Seven Silver Coins.”
Post-match interviews followed as usual.
The Seven Silver Coins members, as usual, left the interview tasks to the team’s captains and vice-captains, then left the venue in a relaxed manner.
As they passed through the security corridor, the staff stationed at the door overheard this conversation:
A dignified tone with dissatisfaction: “I’ve got to say, Old Yu, your kill count is somewhat dubious, isn’t it?”
Han Yuze waved his hand dismissively, “It’s not that bad, actually.”
After a while, “Hey, Old Bing, don’t blame me for using heavy artillery. It’s not intentional; it’s just that I’m a bit more accurate in controlling health points than you guys.”
Jiang Shi chuckled softly, ambiguously.
Seemingly, Han Yuze didn’t catch the teasing in the conversation. He smiled and glanced over, “Anyway, I’ve secured 50 kills today. Can we arrange tonight’s date now?”
Jiang Shi glanced at him, “Arranged, definitely.”
Serious Young Man said: “It turns out that Master’s wife wants to go on a date with Master. No wonder.”
The observer, watching the conversation, pulled out a notebook again and couldn’t resist commenting, “…What are you jotting down now?”
Serious Young Man didn’t respond, continuing to jot down notes quickly.
Dissatisfied with the conversation, the person with the dignified tone shook the iron fan in his hand, “People outside curse you for lacking humaneness when it comes to the opposite s*x.”
Han Yuze smiled faintly, “Thanks for the praise.”
While maintaining the official demeanor until the group left their sight, the staff was experiencing a tumultuous internal storm.
Surprise! The reason Yu Weize went on a killing spree today was this?!
What to do, what to do… it sounded like an incredible piece of gossip. Should they expose it?
