Chapter 17 Turning enemies into friends is the best policy
Three days later, the weather was sunny and breezy.
The city of San Francisco is bustling with hustle and bustle, and the MC United Army Qualifiers in the Parkview Green Center have officially kicked off.
In addition to San Francisco, several other cities in California also have divisions. The 120,000 contestants in several major regions, including Los Angeles and Berkeley, will compete for 5,000 spots over the next five days.
As for why there was such an event suddenly, there are many opinions from the outside world, and everyone has different guesses. However, it is strange that the Western media, which have always regarded "freedom of speech" as the benchmark, have invariably remained silent on this matter, and even if there are reports, they are only passing it off.
Even the organizer, Microsoft, is mysterious, not saying a word, only repeatedly emphasizing the officialness and reliability of the contest, as well as the extremely rich prize - $5 million.
The players who participated in the tournament never revealed anything valuable to the outside world, first, there were no media reporters to get to the bottom of it, and second, they really didn't know anything, and just saw this tournament as an opportunity to make money.
In short, it's a bunch of players who don't know the truth, go to an inexplicable tournament, and then win a bunch of uncountable money.
Anyway, the inside story will not be known, and even if someone does, the CIA and FBI will find a way to make him "not know".
Who can guarantee that the world's humanity will be able to control the extreme panic of the world? At this sensitive juncture, it is better to be cautious in words and deeds.

In Lounge 3, the crowd was noisy, and the teams were sitting in all directions, chattering in a variety of different languages. Everyone's face was full of excitement, and from time to time they looked at the large LED group cards on the wall, guessing how they would compare with the other teams in the same group.
I sat on a chair and drank water, with my player ID card around my neck, and I read the competition instructions in my hand while translating them for Bu Xin and Chen Xiaolin:
ββ¦β¦ This tournament uses version 0.2.1 of Minecraft: Realmode, the game map is a game autocratic map, the game duration is 3 hours, the competition system is a group knockout round, no repechage matches and play-offs, and will be scored according to the performance of the players. β
"The rules of the competition are the fourth-generation UHC ultra-extreme mode rules, the last two teams will enter the second round of the competition, the last surviving team in the second round can enter the third round, and the last two teams who survive to the end of the third round will be the winners and will receive the rewards of this competition. The team that finishes in the top 5,000 will join the 'MC United' club and enjoy the treatment of nobility. β
"If you have any questions, please ask the staff at the scene. Thank you for participating in this contest and wish you a great start! I finished translating and threw the game instructions to Bu Xin, "It's over, that's all." β
Bu Xin put the game instructions into his backpack, took out the group table and handed it to me: "You translate this and see which three teams we are with?" β
I took the list, glanced at it, and read it to them: "Group C2, Red Team: Yi Ouyi, Bu Xin, Chen Xiaolin; Blue: Karl, Franklin, Lewis; Green Team: Abu ...... Won't read, Boboyara, Rigidada; Yellow Team: Luo Xiang...... Plentiful...... Rao Luoxiang ......"
"Rao Luoxiang!" When Bu Xin heard this name, he laughed, just as happy as winning the prize, "That tease, that's great, I wiped out their team on the first night!" β
"Is that the pigtailed boy you met in the coffee shop?" Chen Xiaolin frowned and asked, "Will it have the same name and surname?" β
"No, Rao Luoxiang's name is Chen Chen." I pointed to the "ChenΒ· Chen: "Show them both.
"Steady!" Bu Xin smiled like a flower. When he was in Starbucks PvP, Rao Luoxiang was abused and cried by him, and this time he met in an official game, wouldn't he be able to beat him again?
"Don't think like this, both of our teams are Chinese, and there is no need for infighting. You have to know that as long as the last two teams survive can advance to the next round. I reminded him.
"You mean, to work with them?" Bu Xin looked at me incredulously.
"Why not?" I smiled, "As the saying goes, leave a line in everything, and see each other in the future." You didn't ask him to call Daddy at the time, and now you want them to cooperate with us, and I think they won't refuse. After all, I didn't completely turn my face......"
"Besides, your strength is also seen by them, they are not stupid, they will not hold their thighs and choose to fight against us."
"Yes." Bu Xin nodded. It's better to have one more friend than one more enemy, to be honest, he is very glad that he let Rao Luo Xiang go at that time, otherwise he must be embarrassed now.
I looked down at the time on my phone, got up from my chair, and said to Xiao Lin and Bu Xin: "It's nearly an hour before the start of the game, I'll go to a few lounges to see if I can meet them." Bu Xin, you stay here, Xiao Lin and I will go with you. β
"Why do you want me to go too?" Chen Xiaolin was puzzled. She also didn't like that Rao Luoxiang in her heart, after all, she always put on a lustful look when talking to her.
"Because you have a gender advantage! Let's go......"
β¦β¦
The No. 2 competition lounge was full of smoke and the smell of smoke was strong, and some contestants smoked unscrupulously in it, making the lounge a miasma.
Chen Xiaolin and I pushed the door in, it felt like we had entered a severe smog area, we couldn't breathe at all, our lungs were burning, and even our noses were numb, so we quickly turned our heads and went out.
"Ahem......" Chen Xiaolin coughed painfully, "Why is this in this lounge!" It feels like smokers all over the world are in it! β
"I don't think the three of them will stay here anymore, let's replace the next one." I shook my head helplessly and closed the door with my backhand.
As soon as the words fell, the door behind me suddenly opened, and a girl with a small mushroom head ran out of it, shouting as she ran: "I've had enough!" β
"Huh? That's not the one who? "When I saw her, I wanted to call her name, but I couldn't remember it for a while. But I remember deeply that she was in the same team as Rao Luoxiang and Chen Chen, and I had seen her in Starbucks at that time.
She heard someone behind her talking Chinese, looked back, saw me and Chen Xiaolin, paused for a moment, and said, "Hey? You're not the one who? β
"I'm who I am." I smiled and nodded, finally remembering that her name was Xiao Di, "See you again." β
"Uh, hehe...... Xiao Di laughed embarrassedly, recalling what happened before, "You're here too." Uh, we seem to be in a group, C2. β
"Yes. That's why I'm here to ask you to cooperate. "I don't talk nonsense, I get straight to the point. With half an hour left before the game, we have to do it quickly.
"Cooperation?" Xiao Di was incredulous, "No, there is a professional player in your team, Bu Xin, who almost overwhelmed J in the last game, and our strength is so far behind yours, why do you want to cooperate with us?" There's no reason for that. β
