Episode 323 Interview
This match, for Zheng Ke, is really too suitable, successfully avoiding Bayer. However, in the end, how far you can go depends on whether you can beat your first opponent - Todd.
In contrast, Zheng Ke very much wanted to know what kind of mood Ye Qiuling was in now. If all goes well, a second-round showdown between him and Bayer is almost inevitable.
One is the strongest person in Lanji Academy this year, and the other is the chief of last year's Ten Masters of Yuanyue. Win or lose, it's going to be a great game.
Zheng Ke glanced at Ye Qiuling, and sure enough, the sweat on Ye Qiuling's forehead flowed down her cheeks, and she stayed for more than a minute before looking at Zheng Ke, "I'm the third, how did I run to Group F? Also, why didn't Bayer pick you?"
"How do I know? Maybe it's because I'm more handsome?" Zheng Ke spread his hands, looking innocent.
Ye Qiuling sighed helplessly.
However, among the four people who advanced to Group D, the most disheartened was Gavin, who won the second place, and he couldn't understand why his opponent in the first round of the knockout round was Bayer, even though he had won the second place.
It seems that the fate of the first round of travel is inevitable.
"Okay, guys, after watching the knockout matchups, we're going to start announcing the questions for the first round, so please look at the big screen. β
Zheng Ke and Ye Qiuling immediately looked at the big screen, and the title of each game appeared on the big screen.
"A. Carrots, B. Pork ribs, C. Shiitake mushrooms, D. Duck, E. Potatoes, F. Salmon, G. Chocolate, H. Eel. β
Zheng Ke's eyes were fixed on the topic of Group G - chocolate.
Looks like I have to make desserts.
Immediately afterward, there were sounds of surprise at the scene.
"This game timeβ"
"yes, the knockout rounds are going to start tomorrow...... It's too tight, isn't it?"
Zheng Ke hurriedly raised his head and looked at the big screen, where the time of the first round of eliminations had already appeared.
Starting tomorrow, there will be two groups a day, and Zheng Ke's game will be played in four days.
"Starting tomorrow, the first round of elimination, the sixteen-in-eight competition, will begin. Players who do not have a competition can try cooking at their accommodation or watch the competition, which is not mandatory for the organizers. Next, I would like to invite you to the interview room for an interview with the reporters. β
The interview room was actually on the first floor of the building where the arena was located, and it was basically a very large and empty house with sixteen chairs in it.
"Hey, what about the four people who were eliminated?" A reporter suddenly remembered the four people who were eliminated.
"Well, there's only the winners' seats here, and those who are eliminated are the only ones to interview. The person in charge of the interview room said calmly.
When the sixteen people present heard the words of the person in charge, their faces tightened, and after four days, there were only eight seats left.
After all entered the interview room, the sixteen contestants also began to look for their seats.
On each chair, the name of the contestant is written, and the order of the seats also has a lot to do with the results, so Zheng Ke's seat is in the corner and sits with Ye Qiuling.
"It seems that we are not very popular. Zheng Ke crossed his fingers and put them behind his head, his whole body leaned lazily on the back of the chair, and his eyes swept to the LCD TV hanging on the ceiling.
Because there was no camera pointed at them, he and Ye Qiuling did not appear on TV.
In fact, not only the two of them, most of the contestants did not appear on TV, and the interview room had 20 LCD TVs, almost all of which broadcast interviews with Bayer and Cheng Huaizhi.
"Chef Bayer, what do you think of the-blue this time?"
"There are a lot of great fighters, even me, when I face the enemy, I have to give it my all. Bayer's answer was lifeless, it felt like a routine response.
"So in the lower half, are there any opponents you particularly like or feel you want to fight against?"
"Ye Qiuling, right? However, the two of us met too early, and I thought we would meet in the semi-finals. Bayer said.
"But the matchup in the knockout round also has something to do with your choice - Mr. Bayer, I want to ask you, as the first place in Group C, why did you choose Gavin, who is second in Group D, instead of Zheng Ke, who is ranked fourth? If the person you pick is Zheng Ke, you should be able to meet Ye Qiuling in the semi-finals, right?"
"That's the question...... Because Gavin is too old, this is a stage for young people, they still have potential, but Gavin's potential is too small. β
The reporters at the scene were in an uproar, but they didn't expect Bayer's words to be so direct, and the player named Gavin clenched his fists tightly.
Zheng Ke listened to Bayer's words and pouted, "Senior Ye, I thought he didn't pick me because I was too powerful?" It's a blessing to be young. β
"yes, I'm not that lucky. Ye Qiuling sighed, "In the second round, I have to face Bayer...... Xiao Zheng, I bet that if I can win Bayer, I can win the championship of the-blue. β
"I dare say, if I can beat Bayer, I can also win the championship?"
Who wouldn't say big things? Anyway, they can't win Bayer.
"If you want to play Bayer, you have to enter the semi-finals, right?" asked Ye Qiuling.
"Ah, is it?" Zheng Ke touched his chin and carefully recalled the matchup, sure enough, if he wants to face Bayer, he must enter the semi-finals, "Well, it seems to be difficult." β
After Zheng Ke thought about it carefully, he came to this conclusion.
"That's right, your chances of reaching the Final Four are even smaller than my chances of beating Bayer. Ye Qiuling touched her chin and smiled.
Zheng Ke sighed depressedly, although he understood some words, but when others said them, he still felt a little uncomfortable.
"By the way, what kind of person is Que Zhengqing?" Zheng Ke suddenly asked.
"Que Zhengqing, well, he's not very likeable, so I don't want to get to know him. However, it is said that he is now being trained as Fu Xiuyun's successor, and he will be the leader of the third grade of the Oriental School Park in the future. β
He didn't know much about it, but Ye Qiuling still told him what he knew about Que Zhengqing.
"Soβ"
Zheng Ke clasped his arms over his chest, pondered for more than ten seconds, and then turned his head to look at Ye Qiuling, "What do you think I have a big chance of winning compared to him?"
"What do you think is the big gap between me and Bayer?" Ye Qiuling asked rhetorically.
Zheng Ke sighed and stopped speaking.
"Hey, hey, you don't really think that Bayer is better than me, right?" Ye Qiuling saw the loss on Zheng Ke's face, and immediately became anxious.
"Of course, otherwise, why are you avoiding him?" Zheng Ke said assumedly.
ββ¦β¦β
Ye Qiuling opened his mouth and found that he couldn't refute it. 10
