National Juggernaut

Chapter 80 Work
October 10th, sunny, match day, Shiqiancheng Grand Arena.

The cheers of mountains and tsunami came from the auditorium, and all the TV channels and webcasts in Shiqiancheng turned to these contents.

This is an annual festival. Even if it is just a warm-up rookie match, the on-site tickets have already been sold out. Countless spectators are at the scene or at home, waving lottery tickets to cheer for the promising newcomers.

Standing at the entrance of the field battlefield, Zheng Li, who had revisited his old place, was quite amazed.

Just last month, I participated in the rookie competition for the first time, and my mood at that time was extremely complicated and contradictory.

Although it was just a qualifying match for scoring points, he himself participated in it for fun. But the thought of fighting for Fengmingliu was always lingering in his mind. He knew that this was someone's heartfelt unwillingness and expectation.

But in that case, exposing more information about oneself is almost equivalent to courting death. Although Zheng Li participated in many games, it was also used to train the rabbit. He could avoid and hide, and he encountered a tough player who might expose his cards , Abstain without hesitation.

The rookies who participated in the competition at the beginning had different strengths. Most of them just tried their own qualities. Occasionally, some pure rookies scored a qualification point, and they often just tasted it. No one would be so stupid as to reveal their cards before the competition.

But this time, it's completely different.

The preliminary round of the official newcomer competition is also a battle royale mode, depending on the number of people ranging from 50 to 200, but recently due to the popularity, each round has reached 350-450 people.

And it is foreseeable that the number will increase sharply. The unwilling losers in the first ten days will join the second, third, and fourth challenges without hesitation. This may be their once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make their mark.

Since yesterday, it is already the middle stage of this year's rookie competition. The most uncontrollable and easy to get lucky early stage has passed, and the main lineups of all parties have officially entered the field, and those who hit the man-eating shark are unlucky Eggs are not at the same level as before.

There are even those who have already obtained the qualifications for the next round and continue to sign up for the competition, and there are quite a few of them.

Weeding out more competitive contestants?Some people may think so, but they are definitely very few. They are more pursuing safe combat opportunities, accumulating more coping experience, and most importantly.
"Today, the ratings reached 17%. Another record high."

"Maybe there were a few ruthless people out yesterday. I won't mention the drag racers on the battlefield. Swallow Sword and Jin Man Niu fought for half of the game yesterday, which caused the venue to be reorganized urgently, and was involved in the unlucky accident of 'death' There are dozens of eggs, they all participated today, vowing to decide the winner."

Zheng Li was also a little surprised by the communication of the staff.

After all, this is just a rookie competition, and the fact that there are more than a dozen games a day, and the fact that one out of five people watch it shows that the popularity is really high.

In a sense, this is also expected, whether it is short-term seeking investment, job recruitment, upward channels, or long-term seeking prestige and ethnic identity, this is the best opportunity.

No, these rookies who performed well all have "nicknames" given to them by the audience. This is the first step to gaining the title, and many people can't get it.

Since the competition system allows for more brushes, why don't you brush a few more games to get out of the line?Isn't there still voting?Fight to be one of those few voters.

"By the way, did you watch it? The anchor made me laugh so hard yesterday. He ran for his life on all fours, and a bunch of flowers appeared in the place where he ran. This kind of rubbish ability should not be a gardener or a warrior. Before, the online media tried their best to blow him up."

"Flower Warrior? Heh, he's not bad, at least he got one point. Have you heard of that 'Dark Bloodthirsty Beast'? Being able to go to the battlefield and still have so many supporters, what kind of dark hero of the new era is like a joke."

And from other people's comments, as well as the barrage floating in the webcast, Zheng Li also confirmed that his suggestion at that time had been adopted.

Some people were pulled out to the sun, and Shiqian City's live broadcast industry would undergo a major reshuffle.

Obviously, it's getting harder and harder to qualify as time goes on.

In fact, yesterday’s 400 games had an average of 4 participants. Due to the large number of participants, the number of survivors in each game was 8, and the number of votes was [-]. But in fact, the total number of new qualifiers did not exceed [-]. A lot of places are abolished.

reason?It wasn't the fault of those reputation-gathering guys. They first occupied the number of survivors, and then humiliated or crushed other newcomers, causing many viewers to retaliate and vote irrationally.

In this day and age, it's perfectly normal to vote for the strong who don't need it, and don't show mercy to the weak and losers.

The official will accept it, and there is no quota extension?The facts are in front of everyone, if the quota is gone, it will be gone, and there is no response to the appeal.

Is it fair?Of course it's not fair, but this is what the officials expected to see. From the competition system to the competition organization itself, they have repeatedly emphasized a fact.

"As long as you don't violate the basic rules, you can play as you please. Weakness is the original sin. In the outside world, no one will be fair to you."

The rules are as simple as possible, you can take advantage of the loopholes if you have the ability, this world has never been fair, at least we will not let you lose your life here, it is already a rare mercy.

The only things that are considered taboo are probably privately forming teams to play for places, selling places and so on. If such things are exposed, that person will be considered useless.

If you don't have enough strength to force a breakthrough, the difficulty of the next round will directly increase ten times. Generally, no one will be so stupid.

It is worth mentioning that the rabbit has already been eliminated, and she has no plan to participate again. This failure made her realize the real gap, and even made her depressed for two days, which caused Zheng Li to spend some time trying to comfort her.

The official is even taking the initiative to promote the "newcomer champions" and encourage them in disguise to eliminate the weak and concentrate resources on the most promising seedlings. This is a very convincing reason.

Rabbit's new sister, Tiger Ichisaki, entered the next round with ease, regardless of IQ and experience. Well, if you only look at combat power, she is indeed a good seed in the first grade.

In the novice stage where there is not much difference in actual combat experience, Scarlet Poison Tiger's melee poisonous flames can make any living person miserable.

In particular, Zheng Li trained her a lot in actual combat, and she was lucky, and she didn't encounter too strong a "cheater".

She also swiped twice, and won the nickname "Little Red Tiger" from the audience. My family called her to praise her, increased her loan amount for next year, and extended her repayment time. What's the same.

Seeing Tiger Yisaki's shy look, Rabbit was so stimulated by her that he even took the initiative to go to the dojo to practice for two more days. Well, it was only two days, and on the third day he returned to his salty fish state.

Uh, Zheng Li already has a new plan, he won't let her go easily, but he doesn't have time now, so let her live for two days first.

Zheng Li woke up two days late, and was busy again after waking up. When he remembered to sign up quickly, the queue was naturally in the middle of the month.

At this time, the staff who were doing the last inspection for Zheng Li were very relaxed, and didn't even gossip with Zheng Li directly, let alone the autograph package for star players.

Probably, in the eyes of most of the staff, the first-time contestants at this time are probably just for fun. Those who want to qualify have already played the competition early, and now they are looking for abuse.

And the fact that he only carried a pair of swords all over his body further verified this view.

At this age group, no matter how you look at it, you don't want to have a spiritual companion with a body and soul.

"Competing with a single edge? If you want to appear on the scene, you won't be looking for abuse, right. Come early and at least have a decent ending."

Although he was muttering in his mouth, he would not offend anyone by saying it casually.

After confirming that the "time lock" is safe, the young staff member nodded and began to perform the last notification procedure.

"Due to the large number of participants, contestant No. 217, you are arranged to enter 10 minutes after the main match. This is actually a kind of preferential treatment. By the way, if you have Spirit Race, you will be released when you enter. At the same time, At the entrance, show the audience all your blades, you might be given a shot, but there are a lot of entries, so don't expect too much."

Zheng Li nodded, there is nothing to say, since it is a rule, just follow it.

But he didn't know that the moment he really stepped into the battlefield, several screens turned around at the same time, and the anchor station even turned the big screen around directly.

Beside this peaceful young man, there were three full Spirit Race standing beside him.

As soon as the red-haired girl came out, she couldn't wait to touch the game console behind her waist. The kitten with wings yawned, lay on the sword master's shoulder, and fell asleep instantly.

Among them, the tallest one had such obvious features that the guest anchor of the live broadcast station stood up and exclaimed.

"Oni Sakura! That's a title hunter! She actually became a young man's spirit blade?! Someone can bear Oni Sakura! It's ridiculous, that's a bloodthirsty sword that kills countless people! That contestant didn't do anything, Let Oni Sakura go to slaughter, and you can easily qualify!"

After completing the display duty, Zheng Li just extended his hand to Lin Yuying.

"Sorry, this time, I need you to be my blade."

Even after being weakened, Ghost Sakura's combat power is still strong enough alone. Zheng Li will not waste this strength and experience. He has already discussed the future with Lin Yuying.

It's just that this time, as Zheng Li's debut performance, the script has already been written, and there is no role for her to appear.

Four Blades and Three Spirits, as a newcomer, is too exaggerated, the anchor station has completely turned the camera around.

On the big screen, just in time to see the blood-red blade being held in the young man's hand, the synchronous voice amplified his subconscious murmur.

"It's going to be a massacre. You can escape, but..."

The bloody long knife he swung casually split the dead tree behind him, and the assassin who was secretly lurking behind the tree was cut in two on the spot.

Blood was flowing on the ground, time regression had been activated, and the face of the assassin lying on the ground was still full of bewilderment and disbelief.

"... There is absolutely no escape."

Relaxing his muscles and bones, with both swords on his waist, and holding the bloody long knife, Zheng Li walked towards his hunting ground.

A total of 400, 50 minutes, eight per minute, still a bit rushed. But I still hope not to lose too much internal fighting, and it is quite expensive for me to come to the ring.

The usual cheerful smile on the corner of the young man’s mouth was flat and formulaic, as if he was practicing daily service work, which made keen witnesses feel chills for no reason.

It seemed that the direction of this rookie competition had completely gotten out of control.
