Stupid Pokémon Master

Sarah drank tea slowly and looked at the list of qualified contestants submitted by the competition organizing committee. There are only sixteen names on it, and these are the participants in this top sixteen point elimination competition.

Yu Xiao, Long Weixi, and Wen Xu's names were among them. Although it's not ranked high, it's definitely in there.

In fact, this is also the only three contestants from China to reach the top [-].

There is a big difference in the competition format between the top [-] points knockout matches and the previous pure knockout matches. In fact, the participating team members will be divided into four zones. In these four zones, the four contestants in each zone will take turns to engage in six-on-six battles with three other contestants. One win will add one point, until the final tally is made of the player with the highest points in each division, the top three in the four divisions will advance, and all others will be eliminated.

"This year's competition is about to end." Ryunosuke Miyamoto said with a smile, "I think it's time to decide on the prizes to be distributed this year."

"Oh? It seems that Yuichi has improved greatly this year?" Sara said jokingly. But the meaning behind it is a bit pointed.

Japan will definitely reach the top three this year, right?

"Chairman, thank you very much." Long Zhijie replied in a neither humble nor condescending manner. "That kid Yuichi trains hard every day. I believe his hard work will eventually pay off."

If you work hard, you should be rewarded. Isn't this a natural thing?

Sarah didn't say much, just looked at her friend in front of her in silence.

"Then I'm going to hold a competition meeting to discuss this year's three prizes." Ryuzosuke bowed slightly. "Farewell."

Sara looked at the list in her hand and took a sip of tea.

The tea is very warm, and the heat floats along with the tea aroma.

But in the conference room, the scent of tea could no longer be heard.

........................

"Three of the top sixteen are stable. Those kids really worked hard." Long Lan said with emotion.

"Yeah...it's true that it's a bit difficult for them. If you can do this, I believe that the public opinion will be easier to explain." He Xisong said, as if the stone in his heart fell.

"You are so young and your talent is so outstanding. In two years, I believe that your achievements will not be worse than those of the older generation of kings."

"Well, is part of the mission for us old guys completed?"

..............................

"Thank you for your hard work, everyone." Granny Du said with a smile as she looked at the Chinese players at several dining tables around her.

"I know it's not easy for us this year. It's the first time for everyone to compete and they have no experience. Many people have not shown their true strength. Even so, our results this year are still good. Thank you for your hard work."

The participating Chinese team members smiled and nodded. The atmosphere seemed incredibly relaxed.

"Tonight is a celebration banquet for everyone. It is also a celebration banquet for our three players who have reached the top [-]. I hope that in the future, the three of you can do your best and don't leave any regrets."

The atmosphere at the surrounding tables was really good. Everyone was talking and laughing, or complaining about their poor performance.

But the atmosphere between Cheng Tian and the others was not so relaxed.

"Relax, brother Yu Xiao. We've already made it to the top [-]. Now we just have to perform at our best." Han Yu smiled and stuffed a piece of steak into his mouth.

"Yes, Yu Xiao, don't have so much psychological pressure."

"Alas, you are all just kings. There are some things you still don't know." Yu Xiao smiled helplessly.

Du Jiajia was a little confused, "Aren't you also the King of Heaven?"

"It's different." Long Weixi shook her head, "In addition to the identity of the king, we have other identities every day. For example, I am the anchor. Cao Min is the academician. Liang Pingfeng is the super pilot. Jiajia is the graduate student. Wen Xu, stay at home."

Wen Xu:? ? ?

"Uh...what do you do in Korean?"

Han Yu showed a hurt expression, "I usually work as an assistant in my master's gym, so I can be considered half a gym leader!"

"Forget it, it doesn't matter." Long Weixi sighed, "Yu Xiao is different from us. He works in the government's Information Department."

Yu Xiao nodded in agreement.

Cheng Tian asked doubtfully, "What's wrong?"

Yu Xiao said bitterly, "The pressure of public opinion on the Internet is far more terrible than you think. You are not a professional staff, so naturally you don't know how much news the government information department has to deal with every day."

"Don't underestimate big media platforms. People's eyes are separated by a screen, just like they are separated by an ocean. Everyone's malice is like a drop of water. When they gather together, they become a flood."

"I usually have to deal with a lot of inappropriate news. Some things cannot be broadcast, so I have to suppress them. Some things need to be changed, so I have to fight them back. Some things are related to the country, so I have to be careful when handling them, and be more careful."

"And we kings have always been the group that receives the most attention from the people in the country."

"Occupy limited resources and enjoy countless glory. But if you make the wrong step, you will face an abyss."

Su Han easily understood the meaning behind it, "It means that if our results are just like this, we will not be able to suppress domestic public opinion."

Yu Xiao nodded, "That's what I mean."

"This year is a very critical year. In the past few years, the Ministry of Education issued a notice on adjusting the training direction of specialized trainers. In order to cooperate with the superior leaders, our Information Department must also create a suitable atmosphere. Specifically, this year It is a very important year to test the results. If the trainers of the mixed team do not achieve very good results, we, the specialized trainers, must make a splash in order to divert the public's attention. We will not let some people with ulterior motives People are going to criticize related policies.”

"Wow...it feels so profound and troublesome!" Han Yu held his head in pain.

"The top [-] sounds good, but compared to Uncle Yang's previous rankings, it is not worth mentioning." Yu Xiao said with a wry smile, "If this is the case, the pressure of public opinion we have to deal with will be greater than in previous years. A lot."

"Hiss...that's it. The three of you are simply a key move." Liang Pingfeng looked at Long Weixi. Long Weixi's expression was extremely bitter. "It's not easy to fix."

"I know how much I am stronger than you all." Yu Xiao spoke slowly, with an extremely heavy tone.

"I am not young anymore, and I know that I am still far away from being a top trainer. Maybe in the few years that I have been serving, I will never have the opportunity to touch that threshold."

"So, please, you two." Yu Xiao suddenly became extremely solemn. Long Weixi and Wen Xu stayed where they were.

"Please protect the honor of China."
