Chapter 8 Conduct an assessment
(Triggers side story...... Protect Kenys from The Hunger Games and gain 500 bonus points, with 500 bonus points deducted for failure. )
The emotionless voice of the main god sounded in Xiaofeng's mind, and he knew that he had triggered the plot, but why was this mission a little wrong......
"Wait, my main quest is to complete The Hunger Games... And this task is for me to protect the heroine..."
Xiaofeng began to think: "The requirement of the main quest is undoubtedly to make me a champion, it should be like this!" ”
"And the side quest is for me to help the heroine become the champion, are these two tasks in conflict?"
No matter how he thought about it, Xiaofeng felt that the two tasks were very contradictory, as if he had to give up one of them.
It is impossible for Xiaofeng to give up the main quest, so there is no need for this branch to appear.
"That's not right! There is no reason for the Lord God to do this...... There must be a reason for this! ”
With Xiaofeng's urine to the main god, the main god must be planning something, but he doesn't know yet.
"There is only one champion, why should the Lord God ...... Hey? There is only one champion?! I get it! Xiaofeng suddenly realized.
"How did I forget about that? The female protagonist and the male protagonist are double champions! Xiaofeng really thought he was stupid, it was such an obvious hint, but he didn't see it.
As long as he becomes the champion at the same time as the male protagonist and the female protagonist, won't the problem be solved?
But......
How is he going to do that? With love? He can't!
You must understand that Xiaofeng is only 20 years old and has no experience in love, not to mention that he left a very bad impression on the heroine just now, and it is still two to say whether he can improve it.
So...... He was also desperate!
Thinking to no avail, Xiaofeng decided to let it go first, the mountains and rivers are rich and doubtful...... There's always a way.
If it doesn't work, Xiaofeng can only give up the branch to complete the main story.
After a busy day of training, it was finally dinner time again, but today, Coach Mickey was there.
Mickey was still drinking the wine he couldn't put down, and kept putting the cow nuggets into his mouth: "From tomorrow, they will evaluate you......"
"Evaluation is important! It means the sponsorship you can get...... The higher the rating, the more sponsorships you get. ”
"You disappeared suddenly, and now you suddenly appear again, well, you're really competent!" Xiaofeng taunted Mickey.
Xiaofeng meant that he would only show up when he had to need his mentor's guidance, and other times it would be the same if he didn't have his business.
"My duty ......" Mickey also responded to Xiaofeng's taunt with the same words, meaning that he was just that.
Mickey continued: "Now, it's time to show what you're capable of!" ”
"They're going to start in Zone 1 and you're lucky...... Ahead of the line. ”
"Why do you say that?" Kalitia asked.
Lem explained: "It's very simple, because the previous comparison is fresh......"
Mickey answered, "That's it, so you have to make a lasting impression so that others will remember you." ”
"Like, kill one of them?" Xiaofeng interjected.
After speaking, everyone looked at Xiaofeng in surprise, and the action of eating in their hands stopped.
"Come on! Why do you look at me like that? I'm just kidding! Xiaofeng spread his hands and said that he was innocent.
"I'm full!" Mickey gave Xiaofeng a deep look and got up to leave.
"Oh, I think it's time for me to go." Lem said and chased after Mickey.
Seeing that everyone was gone, Calitia felt that she had eaten almost enough, and wanted to leave.
Before leaving, she said to Xiaofeng:
"Your words always make me feel that you are a rebellious person......"
After saying that, she left, and now, Xiaofeng is the only one left.
"Damn it! Am I wrong? Xiaofeng knocked on the dining table extremely unhappily, got up and went back to his room, he didn't expect these people to listen to his jokes so badly.
"That Mickey was supposed to show up at the restaurant on the first day according to the plot, but he didn't show up ......"
"The plot has changed three times... Three times..."Xiaofeng silently said the word "three times" in his mouth.
"The first time was on the train... The second time was at the training ground ... The third time in the restaurant on the 3rd floor..."
"Three changes, is there any connection between them, is the Lord God hinting at something?"
Xiaofeng felt that he was a little suspicious, it was obviously just a very simple movie plot, how could it become so complicated?
"I always feel like there is an invisible hand behind my back, manipulating the overall situation......"
Thinking to no avail, Xiaofeng still decided to sleep first.
After a sleepless night, Xiaofeng didn't rest very well, because there were too many things to figure out, but he still had to continue his survival in the Hunger Games.
When the time for evaluation came, Xiaofeng quietly waited for the people in District 1 and District 2 to finish, and then it was his turn.
After training for so long, Xiaofeng doesn't know what he's good at, if there's anything he's good at, it's throwing.
As early as Xiaofeng was in high school, he participated in baseball games and won rankings, and he was still very good at pitching, so at this moment he is just using his expertise to pull points.
In the long hallway, Xiaofeng walked without feeling, and came to an empty room, and before he entered it, he could hear the sound of conversation coming from another small room in the room.
That was the room where the judges were, and Xiaofeng was going to be under their room, demonstrating his abilities.
"Xiaofeng. Lee, ...... "The people in the small room didn't seem to hear him, eating their food and talking about their topics.
Xiaofeng shrugged helplessly, then picked up the baseball on the table and threw it at the target at the end of the room.
"Right in the heart!"
The result was very satisfying to Xiaofeng, and he looked back at the small room, but saw that the judges still didn't notice Xiaofeng's side.
"I finally understand why the heroine did that...... Xiaofeng said and picked up the ball on the table again, "because if it were me, I wouldn't be able to stand this kind of person who doesn't take other people's efforts seriously!" ”
After speaking, Xiaofeng threw the baseball in his hand and hit the apple in the mouth of the roast suckling pig placed in the middle of the small room, and the apple was instantly exploded.
Suddenly, everyone in the small room stopped their movements and looked at the scene in front of them in surprise.
"District 3 Xiaofeng. Lee, thank you! Ignoring their feelings, Xiaofeng exited the room.
……………………………………………………
"Are you crazy?"
"Nope!"
"Then why do you want to do that?" Lem stomped his feet back and forth, "Do you know how much trouble your actions can get us?" ”
"It's not just you, everyone ......"
"Say less, they just want a good show......" Nader interrupted Lem.
"He's acting a rebellion, Nader!" Lem glared at Nader, "We've talked about it before, haven't we?" ”
Lem looked a little angry: "Well, now we are in a dangerous situation......"
This is the time to return to the floor and wait after all the tributes have been evaluated.
As soon as he returned to the 3rd floor, Lem kept scolding Xiaofeng, saying that he was acting too aggressively.
Nader was also present, and was Xiaofeng's designer, and she was more supportive of Xiaofeng's approach.
And the party Xiaofeng knew that this was due to the plot, so he didn't say much, just watched them argue and quietly waited for the plot to develop.
Lem continued to chatter when Mickey came to the room with a very gloomy face.
Mickey sat down and didn't speak, but his face was very cold, and he drank the wine.
Xiaofeng felt more and more weird, this mentor really didn't follow the plot.
"If the organizing committee decides to punish him......" Lem was even more furious.
"No problem, no one will be punished." Nader continued.
"It's already a punishment to come here, let's go have a drink." Mickey sat for a long time before he spit out, and then took the lead in drinking.
……………………………………………………
"As we all know, the organizing committee will score from 1 to 12 points according to the performance of the tribute."
"They are then evaluated in detail based on their performance."
When it was time to read out the scores, Xiaofeng and his party were sitting in front of the TV, waiting for the results.
After the host read out a lot of rules, it was time to read out the score.
"Zone 1 Marvor, 9 points!"
"Zone 1 Leah, score 8 points!"
“……”
"Zone 3, Kalitia, 7 points!"
"Beautiful!"
"That's not bad!"
Nader and Lem both praised Calitiah's score.
"District 3, Xiaofeng. Lee, the score is ......"
The host rummaged through the note in his hand before reading: "12 points!" ”
"Oh~!" Lem cried out excitedly.
Nader got up and gave Xiaofeng a big hug.
Kalithia also said, "Congratulations! ”
"Huh? I thought they would give me a lower score. Xiaofeng was also slightly surprised, he understood the plot, and thought that his previous approach would make the jury give him a high score, but he didn't expect it to be a full score?!
"They must have been impressed by your courage." Nader explained.
"Come, celebrate Xiaofeng first!" Mickey was the first to raise his glass, followed by the rest of the group.
"It seems that only when he drinks will Mickey fit the plot a little......" Xiaofeng complained deeply in his heart.
……………………………………………………
As they celebrated, they came to a garden.
"12 points? Did you know that The Hunger Games has never had a perfect score in all this time......"
An old man sat on a stone bench in the garden, his tone somewhat reproachful to the man standing in front of him.
"He's worth it!" The game designer said that it was the person who stood in front of the old man.
Needless to say, the old man opposite the game designer is Mr. President.
The president continued, "He shot the ball in your head!" ”
The designer smiled slightly: "Actually, it's just an apple." ”
"Sit down!"
The designer's smile disappeared in an instant, and he sat obediently next to the president.
"Sinica, why do you think you need The Hunger Games?" The president asked, peeling an apple.
Designer Sinica was a little confused: "I don't understand, Mr. President, what do you mean?" ”
"I mean, why do you need a champion?"
Sinica thought for a moment, but didn't answer anything.
The president did not blame him, and went on to say: "If it's just about deterrence, then why not just find 24 people from 12 areas and put them to death?" ”
This time, the president did not wait for Sinica's answer, and directly said: "Hope! It's hope......"
"Hope?"
"Yes!" "It is the only weapon more powerful than deterrence," the president said. ”
"But if you hope too much, it becomes a threat......," the president said, peeling the apple in his hand completely.
"Occasional hopes are fine, but they have to be within the bounds." With that, the apple in the president's hand was completely peeled.
"So?" Sinica, completely confused, asked.
"Don't let hope turn into a threat......," the president said, handing the apple to Sinica.
Glancing at the apple, Sinica took it and said, "Understood! ”
The president stroked his chin and beard, got up and left the garden.
Seeing this, Sinica stopped talking, but her expression became thoughtful, and she finally left the garden.
