Chapter 454: Abnormal and Supernatural (First Update)
The building in which the headquarters of the company is located is a very tall building.
The two took the elevator up to the thirty-seventh floor before entering a spacious hall.
The whole hall is luxuriously decorated, but it has a mysterious oriental color.
The ceiling of the hall is dotted with countless bright small crystal bulbs, forming a large five-star shape, covering almost the entire hall.
The floor of the hall is made of black sandalwood, which looks a bit like red sandalwood, but it is certainly not red sandalwood.
Now even the richest man in the world can't use rosewood as a floor to decorate an entire conference room.
It's not that he doesn't have money, it's that he doesn't have so many good things to spoil him.
The hall was so spacious that there were four Roman columns in the middle.
The four walls are clad in mahogany, and against the walls are antique sour wood chairs and coffee tables.
The hall is divided into two parts, high on the east side and low on the west side.
The east side is about a quarter of the hall, and the opposite three-quarters is a step lower.
There were a lot of comfortable and quaint single seats in the venue, and it was the same people who had tickets to watch the first round today.
On the east side of the table were the speaker's table, and there were two meniscus-shaped couches, one on the left and one on the right.
The eight players selected for the first round of the competition sat there.
The high table of speakers in the middle is for the moderator.
The audience has been filled one after another.
The ten judges, as well as He Chuchu's Taishang judge, sat in the first row of the stage.
Situ Che and Situ Zhao also arrived, as well as the Shen family's family of three, Shen Qixuan, Situ Qiu and Shen Rubao.
Lan Qinfen and Cen Chunyan sat next to Situ Qiu.
In addition, there are local Chinatown tycoons, the richest among Chinese Americans, and their relatives and friends.
For example, Xiao Yiyuan, who took Zhuge Hanying's ticket to him, and Zhuge Hanying and Zhuge Yunliu also came, and their positions were with Xiao Yiyuan.
In addition to the top eight, the top 20 Taoist priests who participated in the competition yesterday got tickets to enter.
They sat with the elders and high-ranking members of the Gepai sect.
By half-past eight, the conference hall that could accommodate three hundred people was already packed.
The people who can come here today are all upper-class people of overseas Chinese descent.
Wen Yinuo doesn't know many people, but she can look at a little face.
Looking up, the aura of so many people is different.
She sat with Daoist Wang, and there were two old Taoist priests over fifty years old beside her, who seemed to be in the top eight for the first time, and they were very excited.
And Mr. Zhuge sat on the couch on the right with the other three people.
He has a graceful and leisurely demeanor, and at first glance he is a battle-hardened veteran, not for the first time.
Because of his unhurried state, the three Taoist priests in their forties who affected him were also relatively quiet, not as lively as Wen Yinuo on the left.
Daoist Wang only felt that his two eyes were not enough, and looked up and down, left and right, eager to take out his mobile phone and take a few selfies and send them to the circle of friends to show his disciples and grandchildren.
He stared at the sour wooden chair under the four walls and said, "...... Those are antique, right? But the degree of oldness is really amazing, and it's all pulped. ”
Wen Yinuo squinted his eyes and smiled.
If it's "antique", she can gouge out a pair of eyes.
It is obviously "antiquities", and there is also a term called "cultural relics".
The family company of the Situ family can use these real ancient furniture as daily necessities, which is called Zhenhao......
After a little more chatting, the big bell hanging on the wall opposite the hall rang.
It's half past eight, and the host is about to speak.
Situ Che walked up first.
He is wearing a decent light gray suit today, which makes him even more personable, like a noble son who came out of an ancient book.
However, as soon as he stopped on the stage, the momentum of the Chinatown bigwigs had begun to take shape.
He glanced at the audience, and everyone was silent.
Situ Che smiled slightly and nodded, "Welcome to the first round of the 18th Daomen World Cup." ”
"In previous years, we invited the parties to come to this venue, ask questions, and then the most outstanding masters of our Daomen solved the problems. At the same time, the judges scored according to the difficulty of the problem and the level of problem solving. ”
Situ Che paused slightly when he said this.
Everyone's hearts can't help but raise their throats.
He said "previous years", so this year will definitely be different.
Sure enough, Situ Che nodded and said, "Today our rules are a little different. ”
"First of all, the three official rounds of the big leaders of this Daomen World Cup will be played on the field."
"In other words, the competition venue is not in this venue, but according to the different clients, they will go to the field where the client's problems need to be solved."
"Secondly, part of the content of this competition will be broadcast live online."
As soon as he said this, the people who had bought the tickets at a high price immediately turned black.
If the game can only be watched online, not in person, then why would they spend so much money on tickets?
However, Situ Che knew their concerns, and immediately said: "All viewers who have tickets can get a unique password to enter the live broadcast room and watch all the content of the game." ”
So there are still privileges with tickets, which is about the same, not too pit.
Situ Che smiled, "When you get home, you can enter your home theater, turn on the large-screen HDTV, and watch the full content of this competition comfortably." ”
In these three rounds, their external tickets are less than one time.
In the final round, there were basically only judges, and less than 20 other people had tickets to watch.
Situ Che also said: "The live broadcast of this competition was followed by Mr. He Zhichu, a judge from Taishang. The drone is equipped with an artificial intelligence image recognition system produced by Yuannuo Special Effects Company for real-time post-production. The live broadcast platform is the domestic Daomen APP. Please download the app and get ready to watch. ”
Wen Yinuo was very surprised, she neither expected that Situ Che would use Xiao Yiyuan's artificial intelligence image recognition system for real-time post-production, nor did she expect Situ Che to use the Daomen APP for live broadcast.
You have to know that Daomen APP, but Zhang Fengqi found someone to develop it!
In the past, this APP was only used by people in the Daomen, and not many people knew about it in China.
When Situ Che puts out the advertisement for this Daomen World Cup, the number of downloads of her Daomen APP is going to heaven!
Wen Yinuo is already thinking about the small amount of money that can be commissioned......
But when did Xiao Yiyuan get in touch with Situ Che?
Wen Yinuo looked at Xiao Yiyuan thoughtfully, just in time to see him giving a thumbs up in the direction of Cen Chunyan.
Wen Yinuo: "......"
She guessed that this matter must have something to do with Cen Chunyan.
In fact, Xiao Yiyuan only got the news after coming to New York.
Of course, according to the agreement, he must keep it secret, and even Wen Yinuo didn't say it.
This business was promoted by Cen Chunyan.
At that time, Situ Che was just looking for a software that could produce post-effects on the video, preferably in real time, with a certain amount of artificial intelligence.
But I haven't been able to find the software I want.
Later, there was really no way, so I consulted Shen Qixuan and Cen Chunyan.
Unexpectedly, Shen Qixuan and Cen Chunyan agreed and recommended the product of Xiao Yiyuan's company.
Although they are still among the defendants, they can still do business before the trial begins.
It's ready-to-use cloud-based software that can be used right away as long as you sign a contract and pay for it.
Shen Qixuan just recommended, but Cen Chunyan actually contributed to this business.
Wen Yinuo didn't know about the twists and turns in this, but she also guessed eight or nine.
She withdrew her gaze, her eyes as black as the night without a trace of starlight.
After the format of the competition was announced, it was followed by the signing ceremony of the eight players.
Several staff members brought them a thick stack of contracts for them to sign.
Wen Yinuo casually looked through it and found that these conditions were really harsh.
Of course, it is said that it is a "state of life and death", of course, harsh.
Is there anything more demanding than life?
However, Wen Yinuo couldn't figure out why his life was still in danger of being compared to the competition......
In the previous Daomen Kung Fu ring competition, it was just to injure people, and it was impossible to kill them.
She quickly read the entire contract again, and combined with the records of the previous matches she had watched, she suddenly understood something.
So is it really possible to encounter those "abnormal" or supernatural things and things?
Wen Yinuo's eyes flashed.
To be honest, after following Zhang Fengqi to watch feng shui for so many years, she really hasn't encountered any "supernatural" phenomena.
For her, everything is calculated and explained.
Including how she competed with others in the ring yesterday and how she suddenly understood the "internal force".
It's not metaphysics, it's science.
It can be seen from this contract, which clearly states that "the Preparatory Committee shall not pay any legal responsibility for casualties caused by accidents that are beyond the reach of manpower." The players do so at their own risk. ”
She frowned and looked at it several times before she slowly signed her name.
And the other seven people have already signed and handed over the contract.
After she handed it in, she asked Daoist Wang softly: "Daoyou Wang, you finished the contract so quickly?" ”
“…… Read? Are you kidding? There are so many words, I can't finish reading them tomorrow. Daoist Wang sneered, "I just found the place where I signed, what's there to see?" ”
"But don't you see how you sign the contract?" Wen Yinuo was very surprised, "In case there is any unsavory routine in the contract, you sign it, don't you put yourself in it?" ”
"The big deal is just losing, what trick can it be?" Daoist Wang disagreed, "You didn't look at the validity period of the contract?" Only until the end of the game. ”
Wen Yinuo: "......"
Well, it's her overthinking.
Daoist Wang glanced at her with his eyes, "...... Have you read the contract? Can't it, right? What are ...... so many pages?"
Wen Yinuo smiled silently.
After the contract is signed and stamped by the notary public, it is considered to be effective.
The host took the lottery holder again and asked the eight people to draw lots.
They will form two teams of four people each and compete in small groups.
The winning group advances to the second round.
So it's eight into four.
Wen Yinuo sighed twice, thinking that his teammates in the first round would become opponents in the second round.
It's a great deal......
Of course, slander is slander, how to do it or how it is.
They go up to draw lots according to their rankings.
The staff member actually handed the first sign holder to Mr. Zhuge first.
Wen Yinuo squinted his eyes, remembering the name and appearance of this staff member.
Mr. Zhuge was not modest, the first one reached in, grabbed a sign out, and painted a peony on it.
Wen Yinuo drew the second one, and the one he drew was actually a peony stick.
Mr. Zhuge laughed, "It looks like I'm going to team up with Wen Xiaoyou." ”
This tone of relying on the old and selling the old is like eating garlic, which makes people panic.
Wen Yinuo waved his hand in front of him, and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhuge , in terms of seniority, I am one level higher than you. The word 'little friend', you can't say it, I can say it. ”
She patted Mr. Zhuge on the shoulder, "Little friend Zhuge Xiaoge, work hard!" ”
She didn't hide herself at all, and her voice was not low, and there was an immediate uproar in the hall.
Zhuge Hanying couldn't help but be angry, and said loudly: "Wen Yinuo! Are you still polite! ”
Wen Yinuo raised his eyebrows and said, "...... You should ask your father if he is polite. The people in our Taoist sect pay the most attention to seniority and humility. I'm the same generation as your father's master, do you think your father should call me 'little friend'? ”
"Huh?! She's so senior?! ”
"Wouldn't it?! She still looks young......"
"Age doesn't speak for itself. So many grandfathers in cradles, grandchildren with pestles and crutches......"
The people in the hall talked a lot, and those who understood naturally understood, but because the people here today are a minority of the Daomen, there are many people who don't understand.
Wen Yinuo waited for this opportunity to correct his Zhang faction again.
She said aloud: "I am a descendant of the Zhang faction. My master is the seventy-eighth generation descendant of the Zhang faction, and Mr. Zhuge is also the seventy-eighth generation descendant. And the rules of our Heavenly Master's Dao, compared with other factions, the Zhang faction is a generation higher than each other. So I'm a generation older than Mr. Zhuge , what's the problem for everyone? ”
"Can you call your elders 'little friends'? If I can call it, then I have nothing to say. ”
Wen Yinuo spread his hands and slightly hooked the corners of his lips.
Her fairy and beautiful face is like a famous peony jade house spring with dew drops in the early morning, like snow and jade.
Everyone said that they had learned new knowledge.
Mr. Zhuge didn't look dissatisfied, and said with a smile: "Miss Wen is right, I forgot about this stubble. Seeing that Miss Wen is so young, it is difficult to connect with those old men in our Daomen. I also hope that Miss Wen will forgive me. ”
He arched his hand towards Wen Yinuo and took the initiative to apologize.
Wen Yinuo didn't have to pay attention to it.
The purpose of her doing this was to expand the influence of the Zhang faction, and she couldn't let the Ge faction quietly erase their Zhang faction.
Now that the goal has been achieved, she also nodded, "I know that Mr. Zhuge didn't mean it. ”
This beam has been lifted, and the draw over there is over.
It turns out that another type of flower stick is a peony stick.
There are a total of four peony sticks and four peony sticks.
So they divided into the peony group and the peony group.
The staff gave each of them a small brooch.
The brooch of the peony group is a peony flower, and the brooch of the peony group is a peony flower.
And told them: "You must wear a brooch when you compete, and the drone will rely on this brooch to position you." ”
Wen Yinuo didn't want to tie a hole in his silk jacket, so he raised his hand and said that he would go back to change his clothes and wear a brooch again.
The staff agreed, but gave her a time limit.
“…… We left for the airport at 10 o'clock, and the client was in another city. ”
Wen Yinuo: "......"
, it's really real!

This is the first more, and today the two more.
The second watch was half past seven in the evening.
Qun Mo Da!
