Chapter 312: Methods of Exchange for Funding
Katniss has been torn between believing Eric and not believing Eric: "I don't know, I didn't win in the end. ”
Ning Yun frowned: "Not necessarily." ”
In fact, Ning Yun was not very confident, the monitoring in the arena was much more powerful than the training center.
It is shown in the movie, cameras are everywhere, no matter what angle or direction, there is no way to hide it, after all, this is also a TV show, a reality show.
In this case, Ning Yun couldn't use superpowers at all.
Winning on my own is a bit of a trick for me, but with Katnis, I'm not sure if I'll be able to do it.
Eric didn't really like himself, and Katniss could feel that his heart wasn't there.
Katniss suddenly got tired of this kind of game, and vented: "Enough, everyone knows that I will die, you don't need to pity me here!" You are better than me in every aspect, in every aspect, physical, intellectual, learning ability, you have learned the course just now faster than me. Everyone still likes you, Effie, Portia, Black Micchi, and now even Sinner likes you! ”
Ning Yun smiled bitterly.
I really feel a difference between the rich lady and the **silk man.
On the one hand, there are all kinds of lack of self-confidence, all kinds of doubts, gains and losses, self-pity, the more you invest, the more you know, the more afraid of losing, the more afraid of loss and the more you want to self-destruct, through quarrels to make the other party change, or through quarrels to disappoint the other party, you can't tell the difference.
On the one hand, they are confident, calm, fearless, appreciating each other, liking each other, but they are troubled by the fact that the other party does not understand themselves, and they hate each other's irregular neurotic venting.
This difference manifests itself in any aspect of life. It is embodied in the fundamental view of things.
If you have lived in an environment since you were a child, and you have come down a few times, I am afraid that you will not have any interest.
Fortunately, Ning Yun can barely experience both feelings and can understand Katnis's psychology.
"Take it easy, I can't give you promises, but I'll try to do my best."
Ning Yun took Katnis's hand. was thrown away by her.
Barely Katniss still retained some sanity, did not leave, and kept his voice low.
If someone notices, she looks like a gambling little girl.
When there is no luck (charm value) bonus, it is easy to get Ning Yun, who is favored by the opposite sex, and there is really no way to take Katnis.
Such a little girl, to be honest, can't be determined to pursue it.
When you don't like someone and you can't fool yourself, of course you can't fool the other person. If it's a pure-minded little girl, it's even more obvious.
They don't want adult women to be like that, they can get on the bus first and then make up the ticket, regardless of whether they really like it or not, how do they know if they haven't tried.
When a girl doesn't value money, doesn't value superpowers, doesn't value ability, and doesn't even value physical appearance. Ning Yun helplessly felt that he was seriously unattractive, after all, he didn't even have sincerity. What more could you ask for.
In the evening, Bothia brought a few beautiful girls, and Ning Yun knew exactly what it meant.
Ning Yun, who also accumulated a lot of pressure and depression in his heart, gave full play to the advantages of his tongue and made them laugh and make them happy.
Then use the natural instinct of a fashion designer and make them take off those ugly and vulgar clothes. Makeup was removed and she changed into those beautiful clothes that Portia had prepared.
Of course, in this process, because the bedroom is too crowded and there is no separate changing room, you can only settle for a while.
And then. Naturally, the costume designer began to in-depth instruction......
At first, I was guided alone, but later, because the clothes were too beautiful, especially some simple erotic designs made the girls happy, I had to be busy with many people to guide together.
The next day, Ning Yun was late.
But last night, the girls, satisfied with the designer's superb level, decided to join the new joint company and buy shares in the new company at a hostile takeover price.
So Ning Yun lived a hard life of training hard during the day and instructing waves of girls how to dress even more hard at night.
Katniss, who has a very keen sense of smell, has been in a lot of pain these days, and she has to be inseparable from Eric during the day.
The onslaught of the smell of so many different perfumes made Katniss suspect that she would never be able to hunt again.
On the third day of training, the "tributes" were called out for lunch to take individual tests and then score the contestants.
The tests were to be carried out district by district, and as usual, the twelve districts came last.
Today's test is not public, and at the end of the test, each player's results will be announced, and spectators will use this as a starting point to place bets on the entire subsequent match.
The results given range from one to twelve points, with one being irretrievably low and twelve being high, indicating that the player has considerable potential.
However, the results themselves do not indicate who will win in the competition, only the potential of the players in training.
In the arena, there is a big difference in performance, and the top scorers often take a sharp turn at the beginning of the game.
A few years ago, a winning contestant scored only three points in the first round.
Of course, the level of the score will also have a great impact on the contestants in terms of sponsorship.
If there is no sponsorship at all in a tournament, then any player has a much lower chance of survival.
The test riders left and didn't come back, and there were fewer and fewer people in the room, but Katniss felt the pressure mounting.
After about fifteen minutes, Katniss was called.
Ning Yun patted Katniss on the shoulder: "Come on, you can do it, shock them with archery." ”
Katniss didn't know how to respond, nodded nervously, straightened her hair, straightened her back, and walked into the gym.
As soon as she entered, Katniss felt that something was wrong.
Twenty-two contestants had already been tested, and the judges had spent too much time here, and most of them had drunk again, and by this time they were in a state of discouragement and eager to return home.
Katniss had no choice but to bite the bullet and go ahead with the original plan.
Walking to the station where the bows and arrows were placed, the bows and arrows were made of wood, plastic, metal, and some materials that could not be named, and the tail feathers of the arrows were brushed.
Katniss picked out a bow and arrow, slung the matching quiver over her shoulder.
The distance of the arrow is preset. But Katniss felt too close, and the target was a standard ten-ring portrait target.
Katniss walked to the center of the training ground and aimed for the first target.
As he drew the bow, Katniss noticed that something was not right, the string was tighter than the one used at home, and the arrow was harder. As a result, Katniss missed the dummy by a few inches.
Few people in the audience had paid attention to Katniss, and they were even more absent-minded.
For a moment, Katniss felt embarrassed, returned to his position near the portrait target, and fired many shots in a row until he mastered the essentials of using the new weapon.
Katnis returned to his original position in the center of the training ground, drew his bow, and fired an arrow right into the center of the Ten Rings.
The arrows were shot great, but no one paid attention. The judges are eating the freshly served roast pig.
Katniss was suddenly furious, now his life was hanging by a thread, and Eric was thinking about it, and he was about to collapse under pressure, but these people ignored it, and he was not even as good as a dead pig.
Without thinking, Katniss pulled an arrow from her quiver and shot it straight at the table where the judges were sitting.
Then I heard an exclamation. The men stumbled backwards.
The arrow hit the apple in the pig's mouth, and suddenly the arrow and the apple were nailed to the wall behind it.
Everyone looked at Katniss with bewildered and surprised eyes.
"Thank you for watching."
Katniss bowed slightly. Without waiting for them to announce the end, they walked straight for the exit.
Without saying hello to Ning Yun, Katniss left in a hurry.
It was Ning Yun's turn in the end, and the judges really didn't have the heart to watch the performance this time, and they were all discussing Katnis's behavior just now.
Originally, Ning Yun also wanted to perform magic tricks as a foreshadowing for the use of spatial abilities in the arena, but after thinking about it, it still didn't work. If suspicion is aroused, they can analyze it carefully with the video they have taken and find that it is not magic.
In the age of surveillance, privacy is tied to power, as in the case of Porcia. You can control the monitoring on and off to ensure your own safety.
Since this is the case, Ning Yun was not ready to make such a meaningless limelight, and after hurriedly demonstrating a few projects, he left the gymnasium.
……
Towards the end of dinner, Black Michi asked, "How's it going, you haven't been too bad today, have you?" Katniss, you say? ”
Black Mich directly ignores Eric, no matter how Eric behaves, it doesn't make much sense.
After Katniss did that, he was terrified and ruined everything!
If he had the opportunity, he was also beaten away by the arrow he shot at the judges.
What will they do with me now? Apprehend? Execute? Cut out my tongue and make me a rebel and serve other "tributes" in the future?
How could he shoot an arrow at them, and what was he thinking?
What really scares Katniss is what they will do to Mom and Polym, and how much will the family suffer because of their impulses?
Will they take their pitiful possessions and throw their mother in prison and send Polim to a welfare home? Or will they kill them?
Katniss was silent during the dinner, and during the meal, Katniss took a small sip of the fish soup with a spoon, not daring to raise her eyes to look at anyone, the fish soup was salty and salty, and it felt like tears.
Hearing Black Mickey's question, Katniss didn't dare to answer for a moment.
Ning Yun relieved the siege and said: "Let's talk about it first, I don't know how I performed today, those judges are absent-minded." ”
Hearing Eric say this, Katniss felt a little better, at least the judges didn't stop Eric's performance, which may indicate that his business is not too big and may not be arrested.
"I shot an arrow at them."
Everyone stopped eating and looked at Katniss in surprise.
"What are you?" The fear in Effie's voice made Katniss panic a little.
"I shot at them, well, an arrow, not at them, exactly, in their direction, and they ignored me, so I ...... I didn't calm down and shot an arrow at the apple in the mouth of the stupid roast pig! Katniss defended herself.
"What do they say?" Sinner said cautiously.
"Didn't say anything, oh, I don't know, I walked straight out of the training ground."
"Didn't wait for the announcement to end?" Effie asked hurriedly.
"I'm announcing the end myself." Katniss said.
That's when Katniss remembered how he had promised Bolim to work hard to win the game, and suddenly felt a thousand pounds of weight on his shoulders.
"Well, that's all there is to it." After speaking, Hei Miqi looked at Ning Yun.
"Do you think they're going to arrest me?" Katniss asked.
Hei Miqi thought for a moment: "I don't think so, it's very tricky to change people at this stage." ”
"What about my family?" Katniss worried, "Are they going to punish my family?" ”
Black Michi glanced at Portia and said, "I don't think so, it doesn't make much sense, in that case, the public wants to know what you did wrong, and they will have to expose the training ground." But because it's confidential, and they can't let the public know, they won't do that, and it's a waste of effort. ”
Katniss was a little relieved.
Under Ning Yun's gaze, Portia nodded: "I don't think I will either, at least not to punish your family." ”
"They're more likely to come to the arena and make things difficult for you." ”
Ning Yun sighed: "It's hard to avoid this. ”
"Not necessarily." Black Michi smiled and looked at Portia again.
Portia was silent, it was ridiculous to want to give Katniss fair treatment in the arena through her personal connections.
Hei Michi tore open a large piece of flesh and suddenly laughed: "What were their expressions at that time?" ”
Katniss curled the corners of her mouth, "Shocked, scared." Well, they were ridiculous, and one of them slammed backwards onto the table. ”
When he heard this, he laughed wildly, and everyone laughed along.
"Well, they deserve it," said Bosia. Their job is to watch your skills on display, and the fact that you're from the 12th arrondissement doesn't excuse them from ignoring you. ”
Unfortunately, Katniss didn't feel cared, because Portia was looking at Eric and saying these words.
"My grades must be low." Katniss said.
Black Michi shook his head: "Not necessarily, only high scores will be eye-catching, low or medium scores will not be noticed." Because they know that maybe the player keeps his hand and deliberately gets a low score. This strategy has also been used. ”
Katniss suddenly felt hungry, cut off a large piece of pork, and ate it in a big gulp, it was so delicious.
As long as the family is okay, it's not a big problem.
I want to plead with Eric, but it doesn't seem necessary.
After dinner, everyone went to the reception room to watch the test results.
The host's appetizing slow announcement, photos of "tributes" appeared on TV, and their results were shown below.
Naturally, the pros get a high score of eight to 10, and most of the other players get five.
The results of the 12 districts came out last.
Katnis's nervous fingernails tugged at his palms, believing that his grades must be the worst.
Then eleven points lit up on the screen.
"Eleven points!"
Effie screamed, and everyone patted Katniss on the back to congratulate and cheer her on.
Katniss didn't feel like it was real.
"Got it wrong, this ...... How is this possible? ”
"Maybe they like your stubbornness." "They're still going to put on a show, and they need players who can arouse the enthusiasm of the audience." ”
"Katniss, Burning Girl." Sinner hugged Katnis, "Wait and see, you've got a nice outfit for the interview." ”
This is Ning Yun's score has also come out, seven points, not good and not bad.
If you come from the 12th district, it's not bad.
Katniss was embarrassed and said to Ning Yun, "I'm sorry, it was what I did before that affected you." ”
Without waiting for Ning Yun to speak, Hei Miqi said first: "Don't worry about him, you don't know, the grant that Eric has signed now has broken through the sky, breaking the record of seventy-four The Hunger Games in history. I think the next Hunger Games will definitely be a game changer, because Eric. No matter how many points it is, it doesn't mean anything to him. Katniss, you're the one who needs the most points to show for yourself. ”
Black Secret still doesn't know if those designs are really valuable, or if Eric himself is valuable.
