Following this question, several senior leaders of the Galar Alliance sat down one after another.
They looked at the photos on the big screen in the central control room of the Propaganda Department, and then looked at the dazzling number of consecutive defeats. After being briefly confused, their faces became extremely ugly.
Compared to Luther's crazy losing streak two days ago, he didn't know why he slowed down today and only lost ten big games.
However, this also brought his losing streak to 100 games in major games and 300 games in small games.
"In the ten games we lost today, Luther used the function to search for trainers in nearby towns and did not attack everywhere."
"Compared with his behavior of flying around in the past two days, I had the illusion that he was sightseeing in the Galar region."
The leader of the team that compiled Luther’s data complained.
"And because the competition system does not set negative points, even if Luther loses a hundred games in a row, he still has zero points and can be matched with opponents at any time. After all, there are quite a lot of trainers participating in the tournament, and there will always be those who have not won.
Or maybe a trainer who only won one game was matched by the system."
"Okay, tell me who he is first. We can talk about his feats later."
Several league leaders began to feel headaches, and one of them even walked aside and made a phone call, calling over Nie Zi, a night owl who had just finished a battle in Gongmen City.
The video of Luther's battle will need to be reviewed by an experienced trainer later.
Luther's registration data was displayed on the big screen.
A trainer from the Sinnoh region, the word "touchstone" is written in his profile.
"It looks like the data of an ordinary trainer, but the profile of Touchstone looks very average. I don't know what his intention was in putting this in his profile."
"Isn't it just a matter of writing personal profiles casually? Some people's personal profiles are just garbled characters."
The head of the data team of the Propaganda Department said apologetically: "Those are just the data shown to the opponent before the game. If it is connected to the league database, his information will be like this..."
The interface on the big screen changed and a photo came into view.
Luther stood in the center, with Mariluli, Darkrai, Heiluga, Gilly Egg, Miaomiao, Shuttlecock Cotton, Shakiras, Dream Demon and other elves standing behind him, all of them smiling happily.
Colorful ribbons fell from the sky, and the golden trophy shone brightly under the flashing lights.
Winner of the Sinnoh Region Suzuran Tournament.
The senior executive who had just been sitting comfortably on his chair stood up.
"Luther was the winner of the last Suzuran Tournament, and, according to the data I collected, he is also the island owner of the island in the Sinnoh region."
"After the Suzuran Tournament, Luther never had an official game record. All records about him revolved around Qidao, and he seemed to be invisible."
The leader of the data team snapped his fingers, and a subordinate next to him came forward with a document and bowed to the big bosses.
"I was responsible for collecting Luther's impressions in the Sinnoh region. Based on information from forums, news, and the alliance's official website, I came up with the following keywords."
"Low-key."
"After Luther won the Lily of the Valley Competition, he purchased the island through raising funds, and then devoted himself to improving the environment of the island without leaving home. After that, the outside world's impression of him was very vague.
"
"mystery."
"This impression is also bound to Qidao. Since the ecological improvement of Qidao, Qidao has been wrapped in a strange heavy fog, making it difficult for outsiders to enter. There are rumors that these fogs were created by the elves of Sirona who live on the island.
of."
"Can't fly..."
After reading this, the people in the data team were also stunned for a moment.
"This can't fly, what do you mean?" The senior executive blinked, as if thinking whether he heard wrongly.
"This is a favorite joke of trainers in the Sinnoh region when they tease Luther, because Luther did not have any elf that could carry him to take off during the Lily of the Valley Conference, and he was observed for a long time after that
To the point where I can only go out on the wind speed dog.”
"Therefore, when the official compiled the interesting entries of the Lily of the Valley Conference in the past, they deliberately included the three words "failure to fly" in the entries."
The smile lasted on everyone's face for a while, and an alliance executive tapped the handle of the chair and asked thoughtfully.
"Then what does it mean that this flightless Suzuran Tournament winner comes to participate in the tournament and has a crazy losing streak? Is it bad?"
"You have also seen that he has not participated in a formal competition for three years. It is normal for his strength to decline. Haven't we seen many people like this?"
"Really? I'm not as optimistic as you. I don't think every trainer in the Galar region is so powerful that it can make a regional tournament winner crazily lose. I don't believe that this regional winner can even train those who have just debuted.
All trainers can be beaten into fools."
"Then why does he keep losing games and be bored?" someone sneered.
"If you selectively ignore Sirona who appeared in the message just now, you can just assume that Luther is bored." A senior executive pointed to the person in the data group and said, "What is the relationship between Luther and Sirona?"
The people in the data group obviously also collected relevant information.
"According to discussion information on multiple local forums in Sinnoh, Sirona contributed a lot of the money to purchase Qidao. There are also rumors that Qidao has several fundraisers who have never shown up."
"Sirona met Luther before the Lily of the Valley Conference, and they have a pretty good relationship with each other, and...and..."
"And what?"
"We have collected an interesting piece of old news, which is related to both Luther and Dandi's apprentice, Miss Misaki."
Nie Zi, who had just finished a battle, wiped his sweat with the towel on his shoulder and walked in, and happened to hear these words.
He did not disturb the others and leaned silently on a protrusion on the wall next to him.
"What old news? Tell me."
The members of the data team glanced at the information in their hands and said: "During the main stage of the Suzuran Tournament, Luther and Miss Misaki had a very exciting battle, which is still remembered by the trainers of Sinnoh."
"And the result of that game was Miss Misaki's defeat, which was Luther's final victory."
Someone stood up and walked around for a while and asked, "Has the Sinnoh Alliance taken action?"
This sentence suddenly shocked everyone present.
Nie Zi, who was still admiring Luther's data, was so shocked by this sentence that he turned his attention to the senior executive who spoke.
"He was born in Sinnoh, won the Suzuran Tournament, and has a very good relationship with Sirona."
"We asked Misaki to publicly announce his identity, which just put Sirona into a very embarrassing situation. If he came for the Sinnoh Alliance and Sirona, it can be explained."
Someone asked: "You mean, Luther is here to cause trouble? Then why is he losing in a row? If he wants to embarrass us, he can compete openly and surpass Dan Emperor in rankings and points."
"And if he wants to embarrass us by deliberately losing the game, he can be sentenced to a fake match." The man sneered, "Just use it as a model."
"Do you think the match-fixing will be judged just as you say?" The person being rebutted sneered, "Didn't you see the video they sent you?"
"Every match of Rudd's was an 'all-out' battle and then he lost, covering the two participating players, and the referee review did not think there was a big problem."
"He is not a bad actor at all, he has no acting skills at all."
"Every time he loses, there is a defensible reason. The reason is that there is no trace of letting go in the battle between the elves."
"If you rashly decide that he is a match-fixer, believe it or not, referees from other regions will immediately receive invitations from the Sinnoh League to review Luther's video together."
"Believe it or not, someone will question the championship the next day against trainers from other regions. Believe it or not, they can turn this untenable ban into a 'tournament shady' level of scandal."
"Be clear, if you have determined that the Sinnoh Alliance is behind him, then you must be cautious!"
Nie Zi stood in front of Arden's desk, completely ignoring the senior executives who were having a heated discussion next to him, and silently watched the moment of Luther's defeat edited by Arden.
It is exactly as described by the senior executive who just spoke. As long as the players on both sides of the battle are covered, there is nothing unnatural about the behavior of the elves on the battlefield.
The fight was smooth and the decision-making was correct. Even a veteran referee with decades of experience could only say "suspicious" at most.
There is no direct evidence that Luther faked the match, and there is not enough evidence to prove that he was sent by the Sinnoh Alliance to cause trouble. Banning Luther's right to participate will only cause an uproar.
"I also collected a piece of news about Luther and the Sinnoh Alliance." The leader of the data team looked at the senior executives who were arguing and spoke timidly.
"Say!" Several people turned back together, their tone was compelling.
The leader of the data team said cautiously: "According to the information I collected, Luther and the Sinnoh Alliance, or Qidao and the Sinnoh Alliance, have quite a conflict."
"contradiction?"
"Yes, there are rumors on many forums that Luther beat Ron, one of the top leaders of the Sinnoh Alliance, for some things, causing the two sides to become enemies."
"This bad relationship directly made the relationship between Qidao and the Sinnoh Alliance tense, and there was no communication until last month, when senior officials from the Sinnoh Alliance went to Qidao, hoping to clear up the past feud..."
"No one knows what happened at that time, but it was still quite unpleasant, so much so that there were rumors that Luther had made a move on some high-level officials on the island, and the relationship was completely over."
"In order to sanction Qidao, the official stopped the cargo ships that regularly docked at the port of Qidao, but the official also voted to fire several important department members. It is said that these people... wanted to secretly divide the use rights of Qidao, and this
It is also the main reason why the relationship between the two parties completely collapsed."
The high-level officials present looked at each other, and soon a trace of anger appeared on their faces.
"Good means, good means!"
"Who can say now that Luther was invited by the Sinnoh Alliance to cause sabotage? You see, he has a very bad relationship with the Sinnoh Alliance."
"Nominally he has nothing to do with the Sinnoh Alliance, and he is still at odds with the Sinnoh Alliance. No matter what he does here, we can't relate to the Sinnoh Alliance. He is simply an insulator!"
"It's false that the two sides are at odds with each other, it's false that they're having conflicts, it's true that they're just letting smoke bombs leave us with nothing to say!"
This matter was no longer something that junior staff members could interrupt, and other alliance members present kept silent, leaving room for conversation to the big bosses.
"Isn't this something that was predicted earlier? It would be strange if the Sinnoh Alliance really endured it."
Someone said nonchalantly: "I don't know what you are excited about. You said he is sabotaging the championship for the Sinnoh Alliance and embarrassing us, but... I don't think Luther is sabotaging it again."
"No one thinks that losing a hundred games in a row is sabotage, right? If he messes up on his own, can he blame us?"
"It is he and the Sinnoh Alliance who should be embarrassed. The winner of the Suzuran Tournament was ruined in the Galar Championship."
In fact, when Nie Zi heard that it was about Dan Emperor's apprentice Misaki, he didn't want to interrupt anymore, and he was only there to watch Luther's fake match video.
His point of view is also very clear. You can say yes, but you can also say no.
Ludfei said he was training his other non-main battle elves, how can you still bite him?
His acting skills were so superb that several veteran referees on the video call just now could only scratch their heads and smile bitterly.
However, when Nie Zi heard the senior management say that Luther was a mess, he didn't agree with it.
He admired Luther's performance during the battle and could see that he was enjoying it. In other words, there was no resentment in his performance, but rather a lot of playfulness.
While he was pondering over what Luther meant by this series of actions, his phone suddenly vibrated.
Seeing that it was his sister Ma Li's call, Nie Zi walked to the corner and answered the call.
"Not coming back?" Ma Li on the other end of the phone yawned.
Nie Zi looked up and saw that the hour hand on the wall was already moving towards eleven o'clock.
Because Rotom was on duty during free time, the tournament was played 24 hours a day. However, late-night games had an interesting restriction, which was that they could not use Dynamax to prevent the game from disturbing the public.
Dandi's winning streak has ensured that he can maintain his identity as a defender to meet the challenges of winning streak trainers and improve his ranking.
Nie Zi's number of wins was not enough, so he planned to stay up late and play two more games. Together with Chibana and the others, he would become the leader in the rankings and have the right to challenge Alchemy Emperor at any time.
"I won't reply. As I said before, I will be a little busy after the tournament starts. You can go to sleep."
"oh."
Before Ma Li hung up the phone, Nie Zi stopped her.
"There is something that I would like to hear your outsider's opinion on."
"Ha, brother can't even figure it out. Ask me?"
"So I'm asking an outsider. Maybe you have a different point of view." Nie Zi said.
"Then ask, and I'll see what issues are bothering you at this point in time."
Nie Zi did not mention Luther's name, but only used an analogy to talk about a trainer who had a crazy losing streak, and then described the background.
After hearing this, Ma Li on the other end of the phone was silent for a long time, making intermittent "uh-huh" sounds and thinking hard.
"Is the person you are talking about someone who likes to collect achievements like crazy when playing games?" Ma Li asked curiously, "It sounds like..."
"Game? Achievements?"
"Yes, what he does is very much like the achievement collector in the game. He keeps completing boring dungeons for an achievement and does things that ordinary people can't understand."
"For example, how many times he fell to death in a map, how many props he picked up, if you look at him from an ordinary person's perspective, you would think this person is so boring... But from his own perspective, he enjoys the sense of reward when achieving achievements.
"
"Also, in some games, the achievements obtained are also limited. The first player to complete this achievement will be admired by the newcomers on the list..."
