Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Peak Duel
Whether it is snow blowing at the west gate or wind at the east gate, Ye Gucheng will stand on the top of the Forbidden City.
Now Li Er's mood is roughly like this.
After the results of the group stage come out, there may still be people who hide their strength, but the results of the semi-finals can almost tell the story. After all, this is the first game between clubs, and everyone who can get together the number will do their best, and if they are eliminated in the semi-finals because of their hidden strength, it will be too much of a deal.
Therefore, Li Er roughly guessed who his main competitor was.
Ancient Greek Society, I heard that this group of people once fought classic battles such as the Battle of Salamis, more than 2,000 years ago, and their water strength should not be underestimated. The British Society, these people have been on the boat since they were children, and there are many families who have been sailors for three generations and are on the same boat. It's just that all the people who come here are writers and scientists, and their strength is greatly reduced. The same is true for Italians, and this discount hits their already modest strength, making their prospects of winning the championship very unfavorable.
The rest are all regimes raised on the soil and water of the Tang Dynasty. The Sui Dynasty Society obviously cannot become the primary target of the Tang Dynasty Society, although Yang Er is a person who has played dragon boats, but this dragon boat is not the other dragon boat, and it is estimated that they will not accumulate any competition experience. In terms of absolute strength, the Sui Dynasty in less than a hundred years can produce a few celebrities, or the Tang Dynasty has many generals and generals, and the bench is full of talents.
Although the Ming Dynasty Society is full of famous generals, dragon boat racing is not a competition of strength after all. The skill of rowing is not something that can be integrated into a person's bone marrow in a short period of time. Among them, only Qi Jiguang had experience in naval combat in his previous life. The situation of the Song Dynasty was slightly better. Their emperor had fled to the sea to escape the Jin army, and they were probably more experienced. But where can they be enriched by the same yellow civilization regime? As for the Three Kingdoms Society, that is the existence that Li Er believes has the same threat as the Ancient Greek Society. The Battle of Chibi proved that all parties involved in the war had good strength, and they were now all on the dragon boat of the Three Kingdoms Society, salivating over the championship trophy that Li Er was bound to win.
Actually, Li Er's most worried situation is. The winner of this competition has already been decided. After all, the president of the Three Kingdoms Society is Zhuge Liang, the president of the student union. No one can rule out the possibility that when the dragon boat is launched, the championship trophy has been engraved with the logo of the Three Kingdoms Society.
Thinking like this, Li Er ate his daughter-in-law in his previous life without a bite, and in this life he is about to become his daughter-in-law's eldest grandson - now the ID card is written on the eldest grandson Guanyin - the rice bowl bought from the canteen.
On the other side, Zhuge Liang came to the dragon boat of the Three Kingdoms Society to visit and comfort the crew members who were sitting on the boat and refused to go to the canteen to eat.
"When you get off the boat, you have to come back and look for the feeling of paddling." Lu Su explained to him.
Zhuge Liang believed that this comrade-in-arms when the grass boat borrowed arrows did not lie to him.
"So how sure are you of winning the championship?"
Lu Su took a bite of the Sixi pill and said, "Sixty percent." ”
Cao Cao smiled beside him: "Kong Ming, don't listen to Zijing's nonsense. ”
Lu Su glanced at Cao Cao dissatisfied, but when he saw Cao Cao Zheng looking at him with a smile, he couldn't help but feel furious in his heart.
Zhuge Liang asked Cao Cao: "What does Brother Meng De think?" ”
Cao Cao tore off a piece of meat from the chicken leg like a wolf, chewed it twice and swallowed it, and then said unhurriedly: "Brother Kong Ming wants us to take the first number, we will take the first number." ”
Zhuge Liang was a little surprised, and immediately turned into a smile, and said to Cao Cao: "Just do your best? How can I cheat in a game because of my likes and dislikes? ”
Cao Cao threw the leftover chicken leg bones into the beauty lake, stood up and pulled Zhuge Liang over, walked under a poplar tree on the shore, and continued: "Brother Kong Ming, you should know that people are terrible. ”…
Zhuge Liang chuckled. He knew what Cao Cao was going to say.
Sure enough, I heard the traitor Cao Mengde say: "It is naturally beneficial for our club to be placed under the name of you, the president of the student union, but the disadvantages are also obvious. Have you ever thought that if we win the championship in the first race, then there will be insider speculation about the game, and even rumors of a championship decision? When the time comes, the lord may have to remove you from the position of student council president to quell the anger aroused by the speculation. At that time, the loss of our Three Kingdoms Society was great. ”
Zhuge Liang understood what Cao Cao meant: We can win the championship in the future, and we will have more benefits in the future. But we need to tell all the celebrities on campus with the first contest that there is no inside story in the competition! It's fair!
But the problem is that if the Three Kingdoms Society releases water, there will be no fairness at all.
Zhuge Liang was reluctant to do so, but he couldn't rule out the lords from taking him off as the president of the student union. At least, the Grand Lord Suke didn't buy his account much.
For a moment, he fell into indecision. But an idea flashed through his mind like lightning.
Soon, Zhuge Liang made a choice. He waved his hand casually to say goodbye to Cao Cao, walked to Lu Su's side and whispered a few words.
The sun continued to follow his track, but time seemed to pass much sooner. The finals are about to begin.
Shen Yu felt that there was no tension in this game. Although everyone is looking forward to the start of the finals, they are all in the mood of watching the excitement. Winning or losing doesn't have a direct stake in many people here. One reason for this is that they inherited ideas from the previous life. Another reason is that less than one-third of the people who have joined the Society have been born again. In addition to insufficient mobilization, there are also retail investors who have formed for various reasons, and do not find a sense of belonging among the various associations. All of this has made the onlookers have more voices that don't matter to themselves. Before the start of the game, they were drinking and chatting for fun, and after the start, they continued to drink and chat for fun, and by the way, they glanced at the progress of the game.
Therefore, before the starting gun sounded, there was only sporadic tension released by the participating team members.
Shen Yu reluctantly raised the starting pistol, and at the moment when he was about to pull the trigger, Shu Tingbei's telepathy suddenly sounded in his mind.
"Third brother, the eldest brother and the second brother are back."
Shen Yu was overjoyed. Although he knew that there were not many people on the earth who could pose a threat to the two brothers, the world was ever-changing, and there were always people who would find a way to deal with their own people. What's more, they have been out of touch for a long time, and whoever they are will have a lot of worries in their hearts. Now that it can be counted as back, the stone in Shen Yu's heart has also fallen to the ground.
But Shu Tingbei obviously doesn't just tell him good news.
"Big brother is injured and needs to go into your universe to recuperate for a while."
What the? Injured? Who on Earth can make Suker hurt. Once he sensed danger, he would not hesitate to hide in the four-dimensional space. How did humans hurt him?
However, there is another meaning in Shu Tingbei's words: The eldest brother's injury is not too serious, and it is estimated that it will be about the same for a period of recuperation.
"Then I'll have to rush back as soon as possible." Shen Yu said to himself.
So, the starting gun rang out twice in a hurry. Fortunately, the team members were already in full swing, and the eight dragon boats accelerated to the finish line 500 meters away. The audience became more noisy, with shouts, cheers, noises, heckles, and loud voices.
During this time, no one noticed that their principal Shen stepped on his bicycle and hurried to his home in the northeast corner. …
"Eighty! Eighty! ”
Although winning the championship of this competition can add ten points to the club, for each player of the champion team, a reward of 800 yuan can be obtained. But they seem to be accustomed to "eighty! This shout.
Sima Yi's clear insult came from the nearest audience: "The last one is only eighty per person!" Are you competing for the title? Or are you fighting for the penultimate spot? ”
There were a lot of echoing voices around him, but no one paid attention to the oar-waving contestants, still shouting "Eighty!" Eighty! The horn swung its arms, swung its oars, and swayed the hope of winning the championship.
Li Shimin sat at the front of the dragon boat, shouting "eighty" and slapping the lake water on the fourth track with his oars.
Next to him was one of his main rivals, the Ancient Greek Society. However, Eratosthenes and others were clearly more bookish scholars. So not long after they set off, they were pulled away by half a boat by the Tang Dynasty Society.
On the other side, the Three Kingdoms Society, another of the Tang Dynasty's main rivals, is going hand in hand with them. Sun Quan, who was sitting in the bow of the boat, looked solemn. Cao Cao sat at the stern of the boat at the end, that is, to control the direction and direct the advance and retreat. He seems to have an obsessive love for this kind of thing.
Li Shimin actually wants to do that position very much. However, the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty Society needs its own arms to contribute.
"Faster!" Cao Cao ordered loudly. Because at this time, there are only 200 meters left in the race.
There were no drummers and gongs on the traditional dragon boats, so when morale needed to be boosted, everyone could only shout "Eighty!" Eighty! ”
Hearing that the rhythm of the Three Kingdoms Society was raised, the Tang Dynasty Society also accelerated the frequency of paddles under the leadership of Li Shimin.
There are still 100 meters left in the race.
Cao Cao suddenly asked Lu Su loudly: "How many places does Kong Ming want?" ”
Lu Su replied loudly: "What the president means, go all out to win!" Take as many as you can. ”
As a result, the dragon boat of the Three Kingdoms Society once again sped up. Li Er heard their conversation, but he didn't have time to think too much about it, and led everyone to speed up again. However, the acceleration of the two sides this time is obviously much smaller than the last time.
Both sides have reached the limit of their physical fitness! But it's still holding on!
In the end, what the audience saw was that the two dragon boats of the Tang Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms crossed the finish line almost simultaneously.
Shen Kuo immediately ran to check the footage of the high-speed camera.
In the end, the makeshift large screen showed that one of Li Er's oars crossed the finish line first. According to the not very professional rules that were formulated within the school not long ago, the champion belongs to the Tang Dynasty Society!
