Chapter 284: An Invitation to the King of Fighters Tournament
PS: (Today's update!)
Well,The welfare chapter is almost written.,Tomorrow's group.,It's a New Year's benefit~~~~~~)
Since January 1994, TV stations, newspapers, radio stations and other promotional media channels in the world of "The King of Fighters" in various countries around the world have begun to hype the holding of the first World King of Fighters Championship!
"The battle of the powerful men of the world of the world!"
"There is no restriction on any cold weapons and individual hot weapons, only victory !!"
"The King of Fighters! The audition stage is about to be held all over the world!" β¦β¦
For a time, newspapers, radio stations and television programs in various countries were almost boiling with the news of the first World Champion of Boxing Championship, bombarding the high-level and viewers of various countries with non-stop information.
Almost in one day, people in all countries in the world, as long as there are newspapers, radio stations, and TV towers, have received the information about the first World King of Fighters Championship, and they have also learned about the information about the King of Fighters Tournament given by the organizer of the championship.
First of all, the first World Champion of Fighters Championship was held almost all over the world, from Europe, Russia, the Middle East, South America, Southeast Asia, Asia, the Americas, and Africa (some regions), there are basically audition sites.
Anyone who has the confidence to pass the selection of match points in the King of Fighters tournament audition will enter the knockout round before the official King of Fighters tournament between the regions.
Secondly, the knockout rounds of each region are in a squad mode, requiring at least three official players, and then after passing the brutal knockout rounds in various countries and regions, and obtaining one of the world's total of 64 squad slots, it is considered to enter the official final stage of the King of Fighters tournament.
In the end, these 64 teams will travel from all over the world to the final venue to compete for the title of King of Fighters - the crown of the first World King of Boxing Championship!
Of course, in order to increase the attractiveness of the first World King of Boxing Championship, the organizers of the King of Boxing Championship have specially explained the relevant welfare and treatment issues for the participants in various publicity.
The audition of the King of Fighters tournament does not require any handling fees, as long as you successfully participate and pass the audition, you will receive a knockout guarantee of $10,000 per person, even if you lose the first knockout match, you will also get this comfort reward, and free reimbursement of the contestant's round-trip travel expenses and medical treatment.
After the knockout round, the 64 teams that join the official King of Fighters tournament will receive a guaranteed prize of $100,000 even if they lose the first round in the final. In the finals of the King of Fighters Tournament, each round of advancement will receive a higher guaranteed prize money, the third place team will receive a reward of 3 million US dollars, the runner-up team will receive a reward of 10 million US dollars, and the champion team of the King of Fighters Competition will have a huge prize of 35 million US dollars, and win the highest honor of the King of Fighters title!
In The King of Fighters World 1994, this huge prize money was astronomical for the average martial artist, let alone a world-class tournament. Even many reclusive martial artists who are indifferent to fame and fortune can't sit still after receiving this kind of publicity and huge rewards.
In addition to the publicity, the organizers of the first World King of Fighters also launched a video of the special guest fight!
In these promotional videos, there are strong men with bare hands who directly destroy trucks and even armored vehicles with a few fists, there are also strong men with long knives who almost instantly cut off the armor plates that block the bombardment of the tank's main guns, and there are also strong men who are evenly matched to fight like a natural disaster...... Anyway, just the performances of Boris, Snake Eyes, and the Enhanced Soldiers have made ordinary people more and more excited about the King of Fighters tournament, and even made many aggressive martial artists look sideways.
Similarly, in addition to this kind of propaganda, after the reorganization of the Sound Nest organization, Lucar, Gith Howard, and his younger brother Claude (who was directly captured by Snake Eyes), they began to "instruct" the official high-level leaders of other countries in the name of the United States, revealing that the first World King of Boxing Championship was to show the soft power of various countries, encouraging himself and his younger brothers to send people to participate, not to mention, and even squeezing the high-level leaders of other countries to decide to send strong people controlled by their own countries to participate in the King of Fighters Tournament - This is no longer just a King of Fighters competition, but also a wrestling between countries and a contest of soft power!
ββAmong the countries in the world of "The King of Fighters", the number of strong fighters who serve the country is not a small number, just look at the angry team of American mercenaries in "The King of Fighters", and the characters such as Gu Lie and Charlie Nash who belong to the United States in "Street Fighter".
Although among the countries, there may not be that kind of peerless master at the rank of captain to obey orders, but there are not even masters of the rank of soldier or even non-commissioned officer in the Star Empire.
β¦β¦
On the third day after the promotion of the first World Champion of Fighters, the aircraft carrier "Black Noah" was located in the Pacific Ocean.
After the battles of Li Yuan, Estes, Lucar, and Keith Howard, the "Black Noah" aircraft carrier, which had just participated in World War II, has now become a new look, and has even swelled to become larger and stronger, adding an unknown number of new functions.
"Yuan, are you sure that this method of yours can allow those top masters to participate in the King of Fighters tournament?" On the deck of the aircraft carrier, Estes stroked her long blue hair fluttering in the wind, and asked Li Yuan, who was beside her, with some curiosity.
Although Estes himself likes to be belligerent, he also understands that in the world of "The King of Fighters", perhaps most of the strong will be moved by money, fame, and national righteousness. But there are always exceptions in the world, such as the first of the Eight Masters of the Heavenly God Clan in the world of "The King of Fighters", the most powerful Boss Ghost in "Street Fighter", the three artifact families in Japan at the highest level, and Thailand's Du. Cut out. General Vega, a hidden master in the world of The King of Fighters in China and Europe...... These people are not so easy to invite!
"Haha, that's right, they are really not easy to invite, especially the two forces in Europe and China, but General Vega, Long, Ken and others in Thailand are already willing to participate, and I have arranged other ways to invite in the three artifact families in Japan, and if you blow the storm Gaonitz, you can also use Weiss and Mai Zhuo to guide you, but the words of that ghost are a little troublesome, and the current news only finds that he went to the North Pole a month ago......"
For Estes's words, Li Yuan, who was wearing a black cloak embroidered with the Devouring Star Python pattern, explained.
It is true that it is indeed difficult to invite those few top powerhouses, but after being instructed by Li Yuan to exhaust all kinds of methods, he still invited most of them or induced them to gather. But for example, if you want to find the other party, you find that they have already stepped into the North Pole, and it will be a headache......
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
When Li Yuan explained to Estes, a bar in Tokyo, Japan.
"The King of Fighters? Not interested!"
Yagami, who had just stepped into the bar with a guitar on his back, looked at the strong man in a black suit who had just stopped talking in front of him, and said with disdain.
As Yagami-an, of course, he himself knows something about the situation of the King of Fighters tournament, but Yagami-an himself has no interest in participating in that kind of competition. And in the face of the so-called staff member in front of him who sent the invitation to the King of Fighters competition, Yagami didn't want to waste time on him, and after finishing speaking, he walked directly to the bar and prepared to enter the bar.
"Mr. Yagami-an, what if I told you that Mr. Kusakakyo of the Kusaka family has already chosen to participate in the King of Fighters tournament?"
However, in the next second, after hearing the words of the strong man in the black suit, Yagami's footsteps suddenly stopped.
"What you said is true?"
After turning his head, Yagami's gaze was like a lone wolf hunting for food, staring at the strong man in a black suit, and there was a trace of undoubted coercion in his words.
Well, maybe Yagami is not interested in other things, but if it's the old enemy Kusakakyo who has been grudging for I don't know how many generations, Yagami will break away from his casual emotions and begin to face that destined enemy with an unusually serious attitude!
"Yes! Mr. Yagami, fifteen minutes ago, Mr. Kusaka had already chosen to participate in the King of Fighters Tournament, and as one of the eight specially invited teams that received the invitation, he directly participated in the finals of the King of Fighters Tournament in a month's time!"
Watching Yagami stop and ask questions, the black-suited staff member said without hesitation.
As a member of the Japanese Three Artifact Family, of course Kusa Zhijing is not the kind of arrogant and indifferent guy in Yagamian, even when it was the original plot of "The King of Fighters 94", he chose to lead the team to participate in the King of Fighters tournament held by Lucar, and now the scale and publicity are far greater than the first World King of Fighters Championship of "The King of Fighters 94", of course, he will not look at it, almost after receiving the special invitation, Cao Zhijing himself took it directly without hesitation!
"Very good, I'll go for it!"
After hearing the strong man in the black suit answer that was definitely abnormal, Yagamian turned his head and walked into the bar, just throwing out a sentence lightly.
However, compared to the carelessness just now, Yagami's body now gives people a sense of oppression, as if the beast has seen the prey in its fate and is ready to show its claws!
"Your Excellency Yagami-an, the invitation letter is still ......"
Looking at Yagami's back, the staff member who wanted to say something was shocked to find that the invitation in his hand had disappeared. And on Yagami'an's free hand, the elegant golden KOF letters on the invitation of the first World King of Fighters Championship were clearly visible, making the staff member swallow his words directly.
β¦β¦
Later, the Kagura family house area in the Japanese three-artifact family.
"Master of the family, this is a special invitation letter from the staff of the King of Fighters tournament that he said he would personally hand it over to you!"
In one of the many houses of the Kagura family, a Kagura family steward knelt respectfully on a tatami mat and bowed, handed over an invitation letter with three gold letters of K.O.F. on the cover, and said to his head respectfully.
"An invitation to the King of Fighters tournament?"
Listening to the steward's words, Kagura Chizuru, who had closed her eyes and seemed to be meditating, opened her eyes.
As the head of the Kagura family, Kagura Chizuru is now a shrine maiden dressed as a shrine maiden sitting in front of an antique wooden table, with a beautiful face and her white and red Japanese shrine maiden costume sitting there, naturally there is a solemn and sacred atmosphere. And on the chest of Kagura Chizuru, there is a mirror with a rather primitive shape and pattern, on which from time to time shines with a glimmer of eye-catching brilliance, which is one of the three artifacts that the Kagura family has worshipped for generations - the Yatsune Mirror!
Seeing Kagura Chizuru open her eyes, a good-looking and well-established maid standing beside her walked over gently, picked up the invitation letter from the Kagura family steward and checked it, and walked around respectfully Kagura Chizuru kneeling in front of Kagura Chizuru and presented it to Kagura Chizuru, allowing Kagura Chizuru to open the invitation.
"In the 1st World Champion of Fighters, Miss Chizuru Kagura of the Kagura family was invited to participate in the King of Fighters Tournament held in 1994! Introducer: The King of Fighters Tournament Organizing and Management Committee. Contact number...... "However, when Kagura Chizuru saw the end, a snowflake-like white ice crystal item on the invitation made her eyes tighten suddenly.
The snowflake-white ice crystal seemed to be a crystal-like ornament, and even the steward of the Kagura family and the maid didn't take it seriously. But when Kagura Chizuru saw the ice crystal like an ornament with her own eyes, she felt the charm of it like freezing everything in the world!
In a trance, Kagura Chizuru seemed to see that she had come to another world, a world of only eternal ice and snow, and she was trying to step into it as if she were enchanted......
"Buzz ββββββ"
In the next second, Kagura Chizuru, who seemed to be intoxicated in the ice and snow world, suddenly heard a soft sound of the Eight Mirrors, and then the whole person suddenly came back to his senses.
After shaking her forehead suddenly, Kagura Chizuru, who took a few deep breaths, looked at the invitation again with some fear, only to find that the thumb-sized ice crystal on it had disappeared. But whether it is Kagura Chizuru's communication with a certain consciousness in the Yatsuru Mirror, or the situation just now, it tells Kagura Chizuru that the situation just now is not fake!
"What else did the person who gave you this invitation say? Paraphrase it all word for word!"
After calming down, Kagura Chizuru suddenly looked at the Kagura family steward who was still in a kneeling posture and asked loudly.
Kagura Chizuru can't help but be anxious! At that moment, although there was a surprise from the other party, she was able to hide her spiritual sense as a shrine maiden who worshiped the Yachikatsuru, and even almost made Kagura Chizuru's consciousness almost lost in the ice and snow world. If it weren't for Yatsuga, Kagura Chizuru would have almost capsized in the gutter.
In the face of such a super master of unknown origin, if it weren't for the strong man who knew that his family's sworn enemy for thousands of years in the Heavenly Kingdom Protoss did not have the attribute of "ice", Kagura Chizuru would almost think that it was the Heavenly Kingdom Protoss who struck again.
However, for such a strong person, Kagura Chizuru must find out the general intention and intention of the other party......
"Hey! My lord, when the staff member of the King of Fighters tournament told me, he said that His Excellency Kusakakyo of the Kusa family and His Excellency Yagamian of the Yagami family had chosen to participate in the King of Fighters tournament and accepted the invitation they sent!"
Listening to Kagura Chizuru's straightforward question, which did not hide it at all, and directly revealed an anxious and straightforward question, the Kagura family steward who felt his body suddenly sink and seemed to be out of breath trembled and knelt on the ground, and told his head of the family word for word the important news that he had just heard and decided to accept this invitation.
When the steward of the Kagura family finished speaking, he felt the pressure on his body suddenly relax, and then he didn't dare to raise his head at all, and continued to crawl motionless on the tatami mat and didn't dare to move.
"Kusa Zhijing? Yagami-an? They all accepted the invitation......"
Listening to the words of the Kagura family steward, Kagura Chizuru's eyes, whose face had calmed down, flickered.
As a member of the Three Artifact Family, of course, the grievances and hatred between the Yagami family and the Kusa family cannot be concealed from the Kagura family, but the Kagura family is really unable to alleviate the grievances between the two families that have formed a blood feud, so it is more of a neutral gesture to ensure that the winners of both sides will not kill the other family, so that they can ensure that someone in the three artifact families can complete the fate of the thousand years.
When Kagura Chizuru heard that Yagami-an and Kusa-Akikyo had joined the mysterious King of Fighters tournament, she understood that the current situation was not a situation that she could solve by staying out of the matter.
"The King of Fighters, which force is it? Why send an invitation to our Three Artifact Families......"
Kagura Chizuru's mind shone with countless different thoughts. And when she pondered for a while, Kagura Chizuru, who had given up for the time being, raised her head and saw that the steward of the Kagura family was still prostrate on the tatami mat and did not dare to move, so she said slowly, "Go down!" Also, give me all the information about the King of Fighters tournament, and !! quickly."
"Hey! The head of the house!!"
Hearing Kagura Chizuru's advice, the Kagura family steward who accepted the order of the head of the family looked excited and should have stepped down.
β¦β¦
Not to mention the situation caused by the three special invitations sent by the King of Fighters in Japan, fighters and regions around the world that are famous in fighting games such as "The King of Fighters" and "Street Fighter" have received a total of 24 special invitations to participate directly in the finals, which has attracted many martial artists to participate in the finals of the first World King of Fighters Championship, and there are even some people who want to directly challenge the owner of the invitation.
Of course, for this kind of special invitation held by countries and strong people, although there are many martial artists who have passed the audition but still have to fight hard in the knockout round to try to challenge - however, in the face of the strong people in the armies or masters of various countries, as well as those protagonists and strong people in "The King of Fighters" and "Street Fighter", the challengers are basically the result of fighting the streets!
Li Yuan didn't know and wasn't interested in knowing about what happened later, because he, Estes and Chelsea had just arrived in Japan, where the King of Fighters promotion was still at an end and the audition tournament had not yet officially begun, and they were ready to meet a very popular martial artist in the world of "The King of Fighters...... (To be continued.) )
