"What a great location! Thank you, Vincent, you helped me get the best ticket again." Louis said to his assistant with Coke and popcorn.

"We're here to watch the game, not a movie." Fan Shang said coldly to his boss.

"There is no rule that you are not allowed to eat popcorn while watching the game. Otherwise, how can someone sell it outside?" Louis generously handed his food to Fan Shang, "Do you want it? Here is the bucket for you, and I will go out and buy it." .”

"Enjoy yourself."

The stadium where they are located is about to hold one of the [-]-to-[-] knockout rounds of the Wulin National Competition.The stadium was almost full.Thanks to the Louie family connection they were able to get two front row tickets.However, Louis's family also has places where they can't intervene.Although I got two tickets, they were not consecutively numbered, and there was a seat between the seats of Louis and Vincent.Fan Shang said that the position was reserved for a certain industry leader, and they could only settle for the next best thing.

"Only then did I understand the importance of relationships." Louie stretched his legs in the cramped seat.

"It should be said that only then will you understand the benefits of using interpersonal relationships."

"Ah, dear Fan Shang, are you not afraid that I will fire you if you are so mean all day long?"

"Great, the master gave Fan Shang a sock, Fan Shang is a free elf." Fan Shang said dryly.

"I still can't, I like to torture people for fun."

Fan Shang said dryly: "Now I'm starting to miss that little policeman. With him around, you can spend your infinite energy on him without harming others."

"Will you send him a pennant after you go back?"

The two contestants in this competition are Gu Xiaofei, who is the youngest among all the contestants, and Fan Xi, who is the oldest.These two people actually drew lots to draw a group, which makes people feel the coincidence of fate.Gu Xiaofei is one of the most eye-catching contestants in this year - a mysterious background, amazing skills, all the way through the amateur group to enter the national competition, some people even compare him to the former martial arts leader Su Yunyue.Because of the close relationship between Gu Xiaofei and Xiao Xuechen, and Louis was very concerned about Xiao Xuechen, so he inquired a lot about Gu Xiaofei.

But for his opponent Fan Xi, Louis knew almost nothing.

"I hope Gu Xiaofei can win. It would be a pity if we stop at the top [-]."

"Are you very optimistic about him?"

"It would be nice to compete with him." Louis shook his head regretfully, "But I heard that although he is good at fisting and kicking, he is not good at swords."

He grabbed the popcorn and took a bite.

"Excuse me, excuse me." A man squeezed beside him.Seeing his hair color, he stammered and repeated what he said just now in English.Louie wanted to tell him I was French, but finally held back and pulled his outstretched leg back to let the man pass.

"Thank you, Thankyou." The man walked sideways in front of them, then sat down on the seat between Fan Shang and Louis, took out a towel and wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then turned to Fan Shang and Louis on both sides. smiled.

Louis raised his eyebrows.The seat "reserved for industry leaders" was taken by a man with an ordinary appearance, ordinary clothes, and no matter how you looked at it, he was an ordinary audience.Is Fan Shang's information wrong, or is this man not to be judged by his appearance?

Louis poked the man and put on a kind smile: "Hi sir, I have a kind request."

When Louis wants to confuse others with his beauty, he can always succeed no matter whether the object is a man or a woman.His beauty between men and women broke through the gender barrier, and even the straight man of steel had to bend his smile when facing him.

The man was really startled, and then showed a standard polite smile of "as the host, we want to impress foreign tourists": "You speak Chinese very well!"

"Thank you." Louis said politely.It seems that every Chinese person always says this when they see him.Is proficiency in a foreign language such a big deal?

"Is there anything I can do for you?"

Louis pointed to himself and Fan Shang: "We are together, can I change seats with you?"

"Of course!" The decisiveness of the man's promise surprised Louis slightly.Originally, I thought he would be somewhat hesitant and unhappy, but I couldn't see any negative emotions on the man's face.

He and Louie switched seats.Louis said: "I'm sorry to trouble you, but you must have bought the ticket very early?"

"Ah? I don't know. The ticket was given by someone else." The man scratched his head, "Probably the person who delivered the ticket bought it too early, so you didn't get the ticket with the serial number."

Louis gave Vincent a look of "you know, I know".If Fan Shang's news is correct, and the seat between them is indeed reserved for the industry boss, then this man should be the one who got the ticket from the boss.Although he is not the boss himself, it is worth making friends with such a person.

Louis took out his business card: "Nice to meet you. My name is Louis."

The man took the business card and frowned at the French on it, probably not understanding it.But he pretended to understand, bobbing his head up and down exaggeratedly with the standard social nod, as if he knew every word on the business card by heart.

Then he also took out a business card from his pocket, and solemnly handed it to Louis with both hands.

Does the average audience carry something like this with them?He really is unusual.Louis thought.

He stared at the business card and read word by word: "Zhao Xiachi, writer, screenwriter..."

It's actually a profession that has nothing to do with the sports world!Louis originally thought that he was at least a martial artist with average martial arts skills, but he turned out to be a literary artist!How casual are the industry bosses who reserved this special front row seat, and who did they give the tickets to!

"So you're a writer. Do you like martial arts?"

"Uh, so-so."

With such a straightforward answer, Louis didn't know how to answer the question, so he could only smile awkwardly, turned to Fan Shang, and said without words: "Do you want to eat popcorn?"

Fan Shang could see that he desperately wanted to use this method to get rid of the conversation with Zhao Xiachi.It's a useful but clumsy way to stop a conversation by pretending to be talking to someone else.Fan Shang politely picked up a piece of popcorn and threw it into his mouth, sort of helping Louis out of trouble.

"Dear Fan Shang, how much do you know about that old man?" Louis asked, pointing to the repeated images of Fan Xi on the stadium screen.

"I heard that he is a famous martial artist with amazing internal skills, but I don't know the rest. I'm not Wikipedia, so don't ask me everything."

"I know for the first time today that you are not Vicki!"

Since Fan Shang didn't know, Louis had no choice but to find out by himself.Before he could take out his mobile phone, Zhao Xiachi who was next to him came over to offer a treasure and said, "Fan Xi is an elder of the Songhe Sect. The new martial art is called 'Songfeng Xinjue', and it is said that his inner strength is so high that he can destroy mountains and crack rocks with a flick of his fingers."

Louis turned to him, squinting his eyes suspiciously: "Mr. Zhao, didn't you say that you don't like martial arts very much?"

"Like and understand are two different things. I used to have to keep this knowledge in my head because of work. How many people in the world like their work?"

"... makes sense. So what did you do before?"

"Reporter." Zhao Xia Chi looked into the distance with vicissitudes.

Louis subconsciously thought that the reporter he was talking about was a sports reporter, and he specialized in reporting various martial arts events.Then it makes sense that he has a deep understanding of various martial arts celebrities.

"Can you tell me more? I like martial arts very much, but unfortunately I don't know much, and there are few people to share with me. Can you introduce me?"

Fan Shang covered his eyes beside him.As soon as Louis saw people who had studied martial arts, he liked to get close to them, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was a martial arts idiot.But such an abrupt request is really easy to be mistaken for something else!

"Uh, I don't know how to introduce it. I have been a reporter for many years, and my business has long been unfamiliar. If you have any questions, just ask, and I will answer as much as I can."

Louis pointed to the arena and said, "Why are there so many big rocks in the arena? Will it not hinder the players? I have watched many martial arts competitions, but I have never seen anything like this. The arenas of general competitions are ordinary stadiums, even the martial arts conference area The arena for the preliminaries is also very ordinary, why do you have to put that kind of thing in the arena when it comes to the national competition?"

The playing field in the center of the stadium is a lawn, but the green field is dotted with stones of different sizes in a disorderly manner. The small ones are about the size of a basketball, and the big ones are as high as a floor.There is an isolation net in front of the auditorium, probably for fear of the audience being injured by splashing stones.

"It's just to hinder the players!" Zhao Xiachi said. "Otherwise, it would be boring for two people to fight back and forth! Such a complicated arena terrain can increase the difficulty and enjoyment of the game, and it can also provide some conveniences for the players. Unarmed players and Compared with players who use weapons, it is definitely a disadvantage for players who are empty-handed. If the players who are empty-handed can make use of the terrain or manipulate small rocks, then they can make up for their disadvantages."

"It's so complicated for a martial arts competition..." Louis murmured.

"Actually, it wasn't so complicated before. This year's competition is less difficult because it doesn't need to challenge the martial arts leader, so the organizing committee specially adjusted the terrain of the arena to increase the difficulty of the competition. Otherwise, it would be too easy to be the leader of this year. Now, the audience will also mutter in private that the leader is not worthy of the name, because he took advantage of it to become the leader."

Louis nodded knowingly. "I heard that this national competition only goes to the semi-finals, and the real finals have to wait until autumn. Is this also the reason?"

"That's not the case. Originally, the national competition should determine the champion, and the champion and the leader's challenge will be held in the autumn, but there is no leader in this competition, so the finals were moved to the autumn. This is the tradition of the martial arts conference. Around the Mid-Autumn Festival, the so-called 'night of the full moon, the top of the Forbidden'..."

The announcement blared in the stadium.Zhao Xiachi's expression turned serious: "The match is about to begin."

The referees and notaries entered the arena and took their seats one by one.The broadcast began to introduce the two contestants.Lu Yi looked at the young man on the sidelines from a distance, and a smile appeared on the corner of his lips.The boy didn't know him yet, but he knew the boy.

"It would be interesting if Xiao Xuechen and Gu Xiaofei were the two finalists in this competition." He thought.
