Chapter 303: Black-box operation
(Negligence, the previous chapter was written with the wrong chapter name, it should be 302...... But I am sorry that it does not affect the reading.)
The draw ceremony for the final of the Huaizuofu Junxiu competition began, and a total of one hundred and three representative players sat on their chairs, none of whom were absent.
One hundred and three chairs, in a large circle around the square, the people sitting on them are either vigorous or sophisticated and calm, and there is a sense of confidence on the young faces.
The so-called young and frivolous, can achieve the current results, and stand in the final finals, even if he knows that his cultivation realm is not as good as others, but he has a momentum, and he is unwilling to bow his head and admit defeat no matter what.
This is called "sharpness".
The deacon in charge was on the stage, his eyes patrolled, and then he took out a mouthful of white wooden box.
The box is boxy, but one foot long, only a round opening on the surface of the box, to reach in, pinch the number tag.
The cards with the number of the match have already been placed in the box, and they will know the status of the first round just waiting for the players to draw them.
One hundred and three people, minus one odd number, can be divided into fifty-one games. As for which one has a bye, if you are lucky, you will advance directly and wait for the second round of competition.
So if he can draw a bye, it means that he is lucky.
However, luck is also an important factor in the way of **, indispensable, so everyone has nothing to say.
Fifty-one games cannot be played on the first day, but they will be divided into three days. And the regulations on the date of the match are also indicated.
In addition, there is a rule to protect the surname, in order to prevent the first round of strong and strong matches, the ten people selected as seeds have priority, in the first round of the lottery, their number will not appear in the box, but directly in the hand. In other words, no matter what, there will be no confrontation between the ten.
This is a preferential treatment for seeded players, and the rules have a long history, and although they have received some criticism, they remain the same.
The draw will start with the 10 seeded players and will be ranked in the order in which they are ranked.
At this time, the huge square was quiet, and the spectators concentrated and craned their necks to see who was playing against whom.
Whenever someone drew a trumpet sign, the deacon would hold it up and make it public as a sign of justice.
The process took little time, and it only took a few moments for each person to pull out a woodcut sign with the number written on it from the box. Match the numbers, and the same is the competitor in the first round.
"Wu Zhouzhi, the number is zero!"
After this announcement, the audience was in an uproar.
A zero number plate represents a bye.
The players who had not yet drawn lots were more or less disappointed when they heard that the bye had been drawn.
The handsome man named "Wu Zhouzhi" was calm, but the smile curled at the corner of his mouth still made him happy.
Bye, no need to play, go directly to the second round, can't ask for it.
"Hey, God don't open my eyes, I won't lose weight anymore......"
Zhang Jiangshan was dumbfounded.
Gu Chengyang glanced at him and asked curiously: "God doesn't open his eyes, what does it have to do with whether you lose weight or not?"
The fat man spread his hands: "It doesn't matter, but when it comes out of the mouth of the fat man, it matters." ”
But Gu Chengyang was still puzzled, confused, but he didn't bother to ask more.
When it was Liangqiu Peak's turn, there was only one number card left in the box.
As a wildcard participant, it is not surprising that he is in the last position in the queue and the last drawer.
Reach into the box and pull out a number tag.
Later, Zhang Jiangshan and Gu Chengyang couldn't help but look at it, and they saw an elegant "four" character.
Number four signs!
The fat man touched his chin and asked, "Who does the No. 4 lottery correspond to?" Oops, the idea has been memorized home, and such a high number is clearly one of the seeded players. ”
Gu Chengyang's surname is very good, and he quickly reacted and said: "The fourth seed is Su Xingping, the son of the Silver Moon. ”
"Ah, it's him?"
The fat man almost jumped up.
He is no stranger to Silver Moon Child. I wanted to enter Huaizuo Mansion to participate in the tea party of the three levels, during which I had some conflicts with the other party and fought hard, if it weren't for Master Lu, the consequences would be difficult to clean up.
It's really a narrow road, but I didn't expect Liang Qiufeng to fight each other in the first round of the Junxiu competition.
Zhang Jiangshan stomped his foot fiercely: "Why is it so coincidental?"
Holding the number sign, Liang Qiufeng raised his head and met Su Xingping's gaze, felt the meaning, and suddenly said: "I think this may not be a coincidence." ”
"It's not a coincidence, Qiu Feng, what do you mean?"
As soon as the words were spoken, the fat man reacted immediately, and suddenly understood: "Cheating by lottery?"
No, so many people, so many hands put into the box, how can you do it?
Zhang Jiangshan's mind was a little confused.
It was Gu Chengyang who broke the sky in one sentence: "It seems that they bought the deacon in charge." ”
This is the only explanation.
Liang Qiufeng is the last person to draw lots, so before that, as long as the deacon puts away the No. 4 lottery and waits until the last time to release it, there is no doubt that Liang Qiufeng will not be able to escape.
The method is simple and effective, and it is not difficult to do some tricks and feet in the box. And from an outsider's point of view, who can see the mystery?
Zhang Jiangshan's face changed: "Good thief, what do you want to do with these despicable means?"
Gu Chengyang said indifferently: "Naturally, I want revenge." ”
"No, we can't be at their mercy, we have to shout** to let everyone see the true face of this thief. ”
Gu Chengyang smiled bitterly: "It's useless, the lottery thing, no one has seen how to do it in the dark." If we make a fuss, people will think that we are cowardly. ”
Liang Qiufeng nodded: "What Senior Brother Gu said is extremely true. ”
Gu Chengyang said again: "It seems that the matter of getting a wild card is all instigated by Su Xingping, in order to arrange this game." No wonder the recent days have been calm and there have been no waves. It turns out that the latter moves are all here, so deep scheming. ””
Zhang Jiangshan was a little anxious: "So, this thief wants to take revenge in front of thousands of people and in public?"
In an upright competition, even if you hit a heavy hand, injure or cripple the opponent, or even kill you, you will not be blamed much.
Su Xingping's thoughts were clearly laid out.
"Qiu Feng, you have to be careful...... It's really not an opponent, just step down and admit defeat. ”
Zhang Jiangshan said anxiously.
"Well, I'm not going to put myself in danger. ”
Liang Qiufeng replied calmly.
In fact, he didn't think the result of this draw was so bad. Su Xingping wanted to deal with him, he was already on guard, and he was not afraid. Although there is a gap in the realm of cultivation, with the recent progress of "Sword Heart Carving Dragon" and the fusion of "Yongzi Eight Swords", the sword intent has gradually become formed, and he is not afraid of this battle at all.
The other party carefully arranged it, and when it came to it, it was right in the heart.
There are some grudges, which have dragged on for a long time and are annoying, so let's fight happily and solve the problem.
In an instant, Liang Qiufeng was bold and had a clear mind, and a sword intent was swallowed by the dragon-shaped sword qi, and he was eager to try it happily. (To be continued.) )
