"What a good girl."

No matter how many times he repeated it, Zuo Fu Chao felt that Zhidou's appearance was very funny, so he was even more happy.

"Hey, what are you whispering, let's go!"

At this time, Chieda, who was walking in front, turned his head and urged.

"Come, come!" Zhidou hurriedly answered, and said to Zuo Fu Chao I ran away when I left.

"What were you talking about, it took so long?"

Chieda, the gossip of the most, couldn't help but ask curiously.

"No, it's nothing......" Naoto said with some weakness.

It's okay if she's generous, but this has aroused Chieda's suspicions.

"You're not going to give up on him, are you?"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Naoto immediately denied it.

"My face is red......" Chieda sighed.

"Why!"

"Alas, the captain is also hard enough", Qianzhi turned his head to look at Zuo Fu Chao, only to see that he walked in front as if nothing had happened, so he said with emotion from afar.

"What is his hard work, hard work! I'm the one who works hard, right? Naoto really wanted to shout out like this, but unfortunately he couldn't......

Mary looked at Naoto with suspicious eyes, but in her heart she was thinking about how likely it was that there would be feelings between men and men.

In this atmosphere, Zuo Fu Chao and his entourage of four came to the gate of the arena.

Today is the opening ceremony of the King of Fighters tournament, and the outside of the arena is surrounded by countless martial arts enthusiasts from all over the world, everyone wants to get up close and personal with their idols, and it would be better if they had the opportunity to ask for an autograph or a group photo.

In this atmosphere, all the martial artists, especially those with a large number of fans, are especially careful for fear of being recognized and surrounded by a crowd.

"It's so nostalgic!" Seeing this scene, Zuo Fu Chao couldn't help but sigh, he turned his head and said to the four girls. "The last time I came here to compete, I was still an ignorant teenager, and time is really like an arrow, and time flies."

"What should we do now?" Chieda asked, "Do you want to go in?" ”

Zuo Fu Chao nodded, "Let's go in, there are many things to do today." ”

Previously, at the concert of the band Yagami, despite stopping the band of hell. But the side quests weren't completed, so it looks like they're still going to show up at today's opening ceremony.

As a hardcore player, Zuo Fu Chao said that he would not put down the task after only half of it.

The four of them easily entered the arena with their badges in hand and found their team's lounge.

"It's a nice place," Chieda said, looking east and west as she entered.

Zuo Fu Chao glanced around, "It's much better than the one in 97, it seems that the organizers are willing to spend money in this regard." ”

Of course, I can, NESTS has nothing else, but money.

It wasn't long before the five of them sat down. There will be a staff member to inform them of the lottery.

"I'll go," Chieda volunteered to leave with the staff.

Soon she was back with a happy smile on her face.

“A3？” Naoto took the piece of paper from Chieda's hand, a little surprised, "What do you mean?" ”

"Zone A No. 3 Team," Chieda explains, "has a total of 15 teams participating in the competition, which is divided into three divisions ABC. The five teams from each district are divided into two groups, with the winner advancing to the next round. ”

"Aren't there three teams left?" Yukiko asked, puzzled.

Hearing her words, Chieda's face also showed a strange look. "I don't know how the format is arranged, but what they mean is that the remaining teams in each district will draw another draw and the winner of the two teams will advance to the next round."

"Isn't there another team?" Yukiko is even stranger.

Chieda nodded, "That's the weird part, that team will go straight to the next round. ”

Naoto looked surprised when he heard this, "So one of these fifteen teams can pass the first round without having to play?" That's unfair, isn't it? ”

"Nothing unfair. This is the tradition of the King of Fighters competition", Zuo Fu Chao on the side said lazily, "'Luck is also part of strength', everyone in this world knows this." ”

He said and stood up, "Let's go." It's almost time, so I'm going to watch the performance of the eighth master first, and by the way, I'll complete the side quest. ”

Side quests with hidden attribute prestige as rewards are really rare, and they can be said to be quite valuable, but consider that the condition for receiving this quest is to reach a certain level of favorability with Yagami, which is enough to eliminate 99% of people.

From here, you can see the benefits of Zuo Fu Chao having been here.

This task can be said to be only available to him, and the reward after receiving it is available to everyone in the team. Although they have not officially become challengers yet, the four girls have already begun to enjoy the benefits of the reincarnation world in advance.

"Ladies and gentlemen, good morning, friends from the audience in front of the television! Welcome to the KOF2001 Contest, I am Chu Bai, the host of the scene. ”

"Huh?"

When Zuo Fu Chao saw this host, he couldn't help but be stunned.

"What's wrong?" Naoto sensed his abnormality, thought he had discovered something, and hurriedly asked.

"This guy was the host of the scene in 97", Zuo Fu Chao pointed to Chu Bai who was gushing on the stage and said.

Zhidou glanced at Chu Bai, "It seems that he is very dedicated." ”

"It's not this problem", Zuo Fu Chao touched his chin back and forth with one hand and said, "Isn't this thing dead when it was time in 97, why is it alive and kicking up and down now?" Could it be that Thaksin Chunge has been resurrected in a full state? ”

"Is there such a thing?" Zhidou automatically filtered the second half of Zuo Fu Chao's words, and her brows furrowed slightly, "What does this mean?" System failure? Or is there something wrong with the setting of this world? ”

In the center of the ring, Chu Bai continued to host the show professionally:

"Today is the first day of the official opening of the King of Fighters Tournament, as everyone knows, the organizing committee of the tournament is very honored to invite the famous and popular martial artist and musician Mr. Yagami-an and his band to perform at the opening ceremony, now let's invite the Yagami Band!"

Thunderous applause rang out on the field.

"I thought it would be Athena when I said there was a martial artist performance at the opening ceremony, but I really didn't expect it to be him!"

"Hmm. Check it out. ”

Unlike most spectators, all the contestants in the arena were quite calm.

After all, they are all people in the same circle, although Yagami has a very poor popularity, and there is almost no friendship with anyone else in the entire martial arts world except for Kusanagi, Kagura, and Athena, but most of the martial artists also know that Yagami is a musician, so it is not surprising to hear this news.

Music played. Yagami and the Tanima sisters appeared in the center of the arena, still a low and melodious piece of music.

"A song of liver and intestines is broken, and it is played all over the world to find a soulmate!"

"It's not appropriate to say that at this time, right?" Zhidou looked at Zuo Fu Chao beside him with a black line on his face.

"Mr. Zuo looks good!"

Athena's voice came, and she walked towards the five with a smile.

"So-so", Zuo Fu Chao glanced at Athena, "By the way, by the way, I want to ask you something, it's the host named Chu Bai just now......"

Before he could finish his sentence, Athena reacted and explained. "I also thought he had passed away in '97, but I didn't expect him to come out again in '98 to host the show, and it has been until now."

"So he wasn't dead at the time?" Naoto asked from the side.

"Yes," Athena nodded, and then asked a little strangely, "What do you care about this?" ”

Zuo Fu Chao sighed, "I haven't seen him for a long time and I still miss his ......"

“…… Mr. Zuo, you're kidding again", Athena smiled. "By the way, what's your team number?"

Chieda raised the piece of paper in his hand: "A3." What about you? ”

"Coincidentally, we're also in Group A, A2."

“A2？ In other words, the opponent is A1? ”

"Not bad", Athena had a headache when she said this, "The opponent is the Japanese team, and it is estimated that I will not even be able to pass the first round this year." ”

"Thank you Yagami for a great performance! As everyone knows. In addition to being a musician, Yagamian is also a popular martial artist, and let's wait and see what kind of surprises he will bring to us when he returns after two years of silence! ”

"That's it?" Zuo Fu Chao felt a little surprised, "What about the troublemaker?" Is that all there is to the hell band? It's a shame for the Eight Masterpieces! ”

Hearing Zuo Fu Chao's words, Athena was quite helpless, "That...... Mr. Zuo, the Hell Band was sent by our company to perform all over the world. ”

As soon as Athena finished saying this, the five members of the harem team were reminded by the system:

"The side quest to stop the Hellband's counterattack has been completed."

"Since the mission was helped by the plot character Athena, the final reward changed, Yagami-an's opinion increased slightly, and the team score was +50."

Zhidou looked at Zuo Fu Chao with some surprise.

"Hey, I said that I had a good reputation +1 and was eaten like this, is this a human thing?"

Zuo Fu Chao had already shouted out, and according to Athena's words and mission prompts, it was not difficult to conclude that the Hell Band was indeed going to come to make trouble today, but because of Athena's role, they didn't have this opportunity.

In this way, although their side quests were completed in a more relaxed way, the task rewards also shrank, and the most important prestige for Zuo Fu Chao was eaten by the system and replaced with pitiful team points.

"Let's start with the team grouping of this competition! Look at the big screen, everyone! ”

With Chu Bai's voice, everyone turned their eyes to the big screen behind him.

"It's been three years, why is it still like this, it's a little new, okay?"

Zuo Fu Chao complained, but still looked at the big screen. (To be continued......)
