"Manager, what should we do now?"

The staff in charge of taking care of the contestants are two girls, who are feeling sorry for not reporting this matter to Wu Baifan in time, and their eyes are red when they speak.

Of course, they understand how far-reaching this event has on the image of the Tianji Internet Cafe, and although the responsibility for such a sudden change does not lie with them, they are concerned about the Tianji Internet Cafe, and they will naturally feel anxious about it.

"This time he actually made such a yin move, it seems that he really intends to tear his face." Wu Baifan didn't have to think much to know that this was a trick played by Zhou Guotai, the manager of the dark blue Internet café on the opposite commercial street, and it has been three years since the Tianji Internet Café opened, and friction between the same industry often occurs, and Wu Baifan and Zhou Guotai are also old rivals on the chessboard.

In the past, even if they had business conflicts, they did not express their hostility so blatantly, although Wu Baifan expected in advance that this business opponent would definitely use the means, but unexpectedly, it was not a competitive means of the previous year's activities, but directly attacked the anniversary celebration activities of the Tianji Internet Cafe!

The most infuriating thing is that there is no evidence to prove that these people are the people hired by Zhou Guotai, after all, they have not done any illegal acts, and even this top eight place is obtained by them with their own strength, and the means of following the law are obviously not working, so they can only blame themselves for being negligent and despising the opponent's guts.

"You guys go and contact yesterday's contestants and sort out how many people are there!"

Wu Baifan can only activate the emergency strategy, since the top eight are short of manpower, then they can only temporarily pull out other people from the top 16 to replace the insufficient, however, because there is no advance notice, it is unknown whether they will be there today.

Each contestant left contact information as an emergency contact information, and after Wu Baifan gave the order, all the staff around him immediately participated in the remedial work.

"There's only half an hour left until the game." Wu Baifan raised his watch to confirm the time, and then said, "Explain this matter to the remaining four players temporarily, and then we will use random matching to rearrange the battle list." ”

"Okay, I'll go over and explain." A staff member took the order and hurried back to the Internet café building.

Players' rest area.

"You want to re-shuffle the battle roster?"

"Damn, how can this be?"

"It's too casual, isn't it?"

Among the remaining four, except for Ling Yu, they were all extremely dissatisfied with this.

Their original warm-up exercise was aimed at the profession of the opponent they were about to face, which would suddenly become the same situation as the audition, and the proportion of the luck component was magnified again, and the number of players in the audition was large, and there was no way for everyone to prepare in advance, they understood, but the semi-finals did not make people fully prepared, so they would definitely be disappointed, and they would not be convinced if they lost.

Several staff girls couldn't stop bowing and apologizing, only to dispel a lot of the resentment of the three of them, in short, the contestants are finished, and the next thing is the audience.

"Ha~" Ling Yu yawned, rubbed his eyes, and thought, when will the game start? Last night, I spent the whole night looking for a suitable job on a part-time website, and I only slept for more than two hours, which is really sleepy.

Backstage on the Square Stage.

"Manager, we've contacted all the remaining top 16 players." A staff member came to report to Wu Baifan with the list in his hand, "Among the eight people, two did not answer the phone, and the three could not arrive at the scene during the game time, and only three were able to play." ”

"Three?" Wu Baifan frowned, "Is there just one missing?" ”

If you don't have one person, you can't really use the bye system, but it's all in the quarterfinals, which is definitely much bigger than the auditions. If there is a bye in the quarterfinals, even if the audience can understand it, they may not pay for it.

And as a large-scale game, if there is a bye in the semi-finals, it is easy to give people the impression that this game does not have much weight, and to a certain extent, it will reduce the status of Tianji Internet Cafe in the hearts of the audience.

"Bai Fan, what's wrong?"

Looking at the busy backstage staff, the two sisters, Ziting and Zirui, held hands and didn't know where they came out.

"Miss." Wu Baifan responded, "Miss Rui is here today, too?" ”

"Uncle Wu." Zi Rui was not as big as Zi Ting, and shouted stiffly.

"What's going on?" Ziting asked, obviously very concerned about this anniversary event.

Wu Baifan didn't want to tell Ziting about these things, but because Ziting was the rightful boss of this Internet café, he had no right to hide it from her, so he stated the accident that happened just now.

Listening to Wu Baifan's narration, Ziting's smile disappeared all of a sudden, and she exhaled angrily: "How can he be like this!" ”

"It's too much!" Zirui nodded.

"I've given a short notice to the top 16 and I'm reassigning the roster." Wu Baifan said, "But there is still one place left to fill up, and I am considering whether to give it a bye." ”

"Why a bye?" Ziting asked, "Sister Qimei Xue is here today, the competition must be held successfully!" ”

"I have this idea too, but if you pick a replacement from the top 32, it will be too much, and it will seem unfair to whoever you give it." Wu Baifan expressed his concerns, "There is no suitable candidate." ”

"How could it not be?" Ziting suddenly said, "Let's just find someone in the Internet café to top!" ”

"And how is the reward distribution calculated?" Wu Baifan said, "And the level of the top eight is not low, how can you just find someone to top?" ”

What if you show up?

This sentence is Wu Baifan's subtext, although this game is not as good as those regular games, but anyway, there are thousands of pairs of eyes staring at the whole time, if you let a rookie who can't even enter the top 32 go up to deal with it casually, disgusting the audience present, not to say, it will also lower the overall image and level of the top eight, which is far less enjoyable than a direct bye.

"It's fine!" Ziting raised her head and said, "Xiaobai is very powerful!" ”

"Xiaobai? It took Wu Baifan a second to react who this was talking about, "Do you mean Wen Hao?" ”

"Hmm!" Zi Ting nodded, her eyes revealing a confidence that came from nowhere.

Zi Rui quietly observed the change in Zi Ting's demeanor, and repeated silently: "Xiaobai...... Wen Hao? ”

"Then ......" Wu Baifan was a little troubled, if Zi Ting insisted on letting Wen Hao play, then he couldn't stop it.

In fact, he is not absolutely resistant to Zi Ting's statement, for Wen Hao's strength, he actually has a little bit of a bottom in his heart, although he doesn't know what level Wen Hao has reached, but the person who can give most of the record rewards in the Internet café on the first day of Tianji is indeed not an ordinary person.

Zi Ting couldn't wait to help Wu Baifan make a decision: "Okay, you go and arrange the battle list, and I'll call Xiaobai over!" ”

The staff member who was pointed out looked at Wu Baifan at a loss, and the latter said helplessly: "Go ahead, it's decided." ”
