187. Laid back
Maybe it's a conspiracy, right? After Pete's team was cut down by Murray's team, and then Murray's team broke through three passes in a row for several days without anyone daring to stop everyone and everyone connived at the wild run, leading the second place by as much as 22 blocks. [Read in full text.] But it just stopped at the threshold they had broken. Panpania's luck combined with the funny Scepter of Remorse was enough to ensure that they would be able to stay in front of the next hurdle for a day where nothing would happen. Only then can they prepare a grand barbecue party together and show their kindness as hosts, rather than keeping a bunch of staff busy for a day and then they come to sit back and enjoy the results.
The game in which the Pett team folded in the hands of the Murray team, the winners and losers felt that it was fun, for the Murray team, the victory came by luck, and for the Hurt team, there was nothing else to think about after losing the game except that it was not suitable for playing cards and gambling money that day. It was a real-life version of the "Marvelous Machine".
The rules of the game are simple, both sides can take all kinds of things from a huge warehouse of miscellaneous goods, build a complex mechanism circuit, the number of things used is a minimum of 50 pieces, among which there must be a rolling ball mechanism, a liquid conduction mechanism, a gas conduction mechanism, and finally, to complete an event: start a car. I remember that Toyota once had a French studio shoot such an advertisement, dismantling a car into parts to build a complex mechanism, revealing all the main parts of the vehicle, and finally pulling a curtain open and letting a beautiful SUV slide down a lane. The surprise of the idea was jaw-dropping. But if you let these people play this game on their own, it will be a bit of a problem. After all, it's not as simple as putting together a giant domino, as long as you control the distance. It's a lot of trouble to think about the whole organization, how to adjust the settings of different organizations over and over again, and how to make the whole organization run smoothly. The event started at 10 a.m., and both sides visited the warehouse first, then had a nearly hour-long meeting, and had lunch before starting to build. Then, if you find something wrong, you can revise and adjust it over and over again.
At this time, the characteristics of boys' hands-on ability come into play. After learning that they might have to fight with Murray's team, the Pitt team simply swapped Harrison into the team and completely formed the Murray Male Star Team. As a result, in this competition, there is this guy who loves carpenter work in charge, and Pete, Clooney and others are also quite hands-on. The work is going fast.
And the three druids of Murray's team are a little helpless against some strange parts, which is not their area of expertise. Fortunately, there are always people in Murray's squad who turn into supermen and come out to play, and the characteristics are once again revealed. Mina Koshench, who has been following the project conscientiously a few days ago, actually comes from a family of engineers, and Hermione Potter, a musical genius, is not an idiot in electronics and mechanics because she has a lot of fiddling with fever equipment. Commanding three men to move all kinds of things and do manual work also made the whole organization of the organization decent.
This kind of thing basically can't be successful at one time, and when it has failed more than a dozen times and is extremely close to success, Pete's team's always restless characteristics come into play. Pete actually ran to the side to tease Susan, and then even Clooney ran over, and the little girl refused to admit defeat at all. Clooney didn't look good and ran away to do what he always liked to do - talk to beautiful women with a faint smile. That's how this famous handsome guy and playboy became famous. However, Doni Mick's British cold humor and vitriolity also made Clooney touch his charming chin and nose, a little helpless. As for Pete, it was even worse, when he was blocked by the little girl and had nothing to say, he actually reached out and pinched Susan's nose, but was chased and kicked by Susan, and ran more than 200 meters without stopping.
For a Hollywood big brother like Pett, Sandra Brighton or Dominic would probably never dare to treat him like this. But Susan just knows that the other party is Hollywood's big brother, and she plays especially hard. The off-site tidbits and the busyness inside the venue are mixed together, which makes everyone extremely enjoyable to watch.
Although everyone failed again and again, they were not able to succeed until 16 o'clock, when the event was scheduled to end. But on the last attempt, the winner was decided. Squad Pete, who had been taking it all the way and running smoothly, had a problem: the metal rod fastened to the car keys broke. In the second half of the previous purpose-built tests, this kind of problem had never happened, and even metal fatigue didn't happen so quickly, did it? The Murray team took advantage: the car they chose was not started with a key at all, and the engine made a crisp sound two seconds after the ball hit the electronic key. Laughing and crying, Pete's team had no choice but to bow down and retreat a square on the chessboard.
Perhaps it was because such a game was too dramatic, but the relationship between Piete's team and Murray's team improved. In the past few nights, almost every day after dinner, Zorin, Murray, and Chirome went to the bar to drink and play billiards. When they happened to come early one day and caught the tail end of the dinner of Murray's team, they even began to come to Murray's team to eat together.
And when Murray's team helped Susan prepare the barbecue banquet together, Pete's team, who claimed to be a barbecue expert, also came to help. Although they once had a bad record of eating barbecue and having diarrhea, everyone wanted to believe that it was an accident.
Rows of red pine tables and chairs, a set of brand-new barbecue grills were placed on the grass, and there were even a lot of temporary wooden fences around it, which looked like a horse rejection, making the whole party venue look like a small barracks. When everything was ready, the old friends on Susan's invitation list came to the grass in the center of the athletes' village in the bus provided by the event headquarters, cheered, twitched their noses to smell the rich fragrance, listened to the sizzling oil splashes, and then saw Susan shouting the names of each of them and welcoming them with open arms, and the atmosphere was ignited in an instant. It's a dream night for a lot of people, and the guys who can only be seen on TV, in newspapers and magazines are acting as waiters and cooks to prepare food for them, and those who usually make and sell food for a living can not hesitate to accuse someone of spoiling the food and then take over his job and proudly demonstrate what is the right way to do it...... The mayor of Los Angeles and several legislators also mingled in the crowd and chatted with everyone.
Such an evening is much less expensive than the preparation of any competition in the Super Carnival event, but it is very useful in public relations, public opinion and the gesture of the event headquarters. Direct and non-distance contact between the poor and mayors and councillors has benefited many parties.
When the party was in progress, Zolin and Freeman were leaning against the fence and drinking beer and chatting. On the contrary, such a leisurely posture seems to be more suitable for these two guys. Among the people in Pitt's team, Zuo Lin got along most well with this old black actor with many classic images. Just as the two of them were joking with each other and the crowd a few steps or a dozen steps away was making a fuss, a slender figure quietly approached them.
When the figure walked more than 30 meters away, Zuo Lin couldn't pretend not to see it. That's Sadia.
Freeman said with interest: "I don't know this person very well, but seeing how far she can target you, this woman is not easy." ”
Zuo Lin raised his eyebrows and said, "It's not that I want to do this? I still can't figure out what offended her." ”
Freeman said on all his thoughts: "Maybe it's not offended anywhere, maybe it's just pride." Then he laughed. Freeman knew that Sadia and himself had no intersection, and that the woman had come over at this time, mostly to find Wulin, and said that she wanted to eat something, so she walked away.
"Can you talk?" asked Sadia coolly, gesturing her thumb to the grove on the side.
"No problem. Zuo Lin naturally didn't fear, and readily agreed. Not far away, Murray and Chirome noticed that Zolin and Sadia were walking a few steps apart into the woods, and Murray just wanted to go over to take a look, but was pulled by Chirome. Chirom knew better that with Sadia's strength, it was impossible to threaten Zuolin, and most of them were just boring.
"I am the executor of the Truth Nordic region, and now that a provisional peace agreement has been reached between the Truth and the Druid Council. I'm here to say hello to you. Sadia said.
"It looks like you're a lot more nervous about this than we are in the council, and Bernard doesn't even bother to inform me. Zuo Lin said with a smile, and all of a sudden, he was condescending from his posture and suppressed Sadia.
"What are your titles, raccoons, rats?" asked Sadia teasingly.
"Got you down. Zuo Lin took out the silver lion crest he had with him and pinned it to his chest.
Sadia's eyes immediately became grim, the Druid Council would never choose someone who could not take on such a duty to take on the position. But her tone was the same as before: "Oh, it's a vegetative state." ”
Vegetative: This is a scornful term for a plant-based druid by many Adepts. In fact, a large part of this scorn is jealousy. The plant druids are very powerful, and everyone is afraid of them.
"It's fine. It doesn't hurt to learn more. Zuo Lin replied lightly.
"Really?" Sadia asked rhetorically with a chuckle, and then attacked. The witch's physique is too restricted, and Sadia's attack can only be regarded as an itch for Zuo Lin. The witch's physique is basically unable to cultivate other spell systems, and can only practice the ability of the witch series to focus on spiritual attacks, charm, and illusions, plus the light and agile physique is also very suitable for practicing some methods of fighting and stealth. But Sadia is only a quarter of a witch blood, although she is also a very hard worker, but the achievement of ability cultivation is not high, Zuo Lin, a plant-based druid who is almost immune to spiritual attacks and charm, can be regarded as a natural enemy for witches. And the fighting technique is also difficult to play in front of Zuo Lin. The point is that Sadia is not strong enough.
