Chapter 647: Death Pointer
In the food continent, there is no lengthy leadership speech before any official event, even if it is as grand as the restaurant competition, and many food dignitaries are present, no one is willing to talk nonsense.
For this point, Qin Yu appreciates it from the bottom of his heart, once in that world, from elementary school to university, from Xiaoyuan to society, the leader of any activity has to say a lot of irrelevant official nonsense, knowing that everyone doesn't like it, he still has to say it, and he will talk for hours as soon as he says it, which is extremely annoying.
What's even more ridiculous is that everyone doesn't like to listen to it, and the leader has to pretend to be "Wow is so reasonable, Wow Leader is so smart and insightful, Wow Leader, you really deserve to be a leader" Warmly applauded, but in fact, I have already vomited in my heart.
(Agree with the thumbs up!)
When Qianmo introduced the judges, most of the judges just nodded and didn't say a word of nonsense, only the young King Jiang, as the king, had to say a few words about everyone's hard work.
Through Qianmo's introduction, everyone was shocked by the luxurious lineup of the judges, where is this the judging lineup of the restaurant competition, this is simply the judge lineup of the restaurant competition!
King Jiang, as the king of a country, is a must to represent the royal family as a judge. King Luding, the father of the lord of Youyou, the brother of the first king, and himself is the Emperor of Jiupin Food, and he is one of the few villains in the royal family who has made extraordinary achievements in the way of food.
Lu Zhen is also there, and there is no need to say much as the food honorable of the White Deer Food Palace.
Also from the White Deer Food Palace are Liu Yuandao and Huo Qingfeng, Liu Yuandao is the elder brother of Liu Yushi (Liu Yuanxin) and Liu Yuanlong, and the third among the sons of the contemporary head of the Liu family. Nine Grades of Food. The strength is far stronger than Liu Yuanlong. In addition, he is also Liu Qianyi's father, and he has the credit for changing the rules of the game and joining the devil's melee.
Huo Qingfeng knew his origin by listening to his surname and first name, he was Huo Sheng's son, Huo Qingyi's elder brother, Huo Qingyu's second uncle of Huo Qinglan's twin sisters, Bapin Shizun, his strength was stronger than Liu Yuandao, and he represented more than just the Food Palace. It also represents Huo Sheng, who has always acted fairly, so he doesn't have to worry about partiality.
Yang Jiuxiao, the Emperor of Sanpin Food, Yang Buregret and Yang Bufu's father, are also from Bailu Food Palace, although there are not a few strong food honors, but the food has long been not to be underestimated, and he holds important positions in Bailu Food Palace, and is a highly respected predecessor.
There are also two quite heavyweight tasks. Li Changfeng and Li Changge are brothers and sisters, both brothers and sisters are eight-grade food honors. And they all come from the pinnacle of the food continent: Jixia Food Palace!
The thirteen countries will each hold a restaurant competition, and the Jixia Food Palace, as the supreme and powerful existence, will send the food honor to serve as a judge every time, on the one hand, to show the strength and care for each country, on the other hand, to supervise whether the competition is fair, and have the power to directly veto the results of the game, for example, if Huo Qingfeng and Liu Yuandao are biased, they have the right to deny the results.
The last one was an extremely ordinary-looking old woman, she was very short, she could not be seen unless the chair was heightened, she was on a simple wooden cane, wearing coarse cloth clothes, her face was full of wrinkles, her lips were sunken, and her silver hair was tied in a ball at random.
However, this old woman sat in the middle, whether it was the two food honors of the Jixia Food Palace, or the food honorables of the Bailu Food Palace, or the Jiang King and the Lu Ding King, they all respected this old woman named "Niu Granny" very much.
Granny Niu is not surnamed Niu, no one knows what her surname is, and no one knows whether she is a big eater or not, what her grade is, people only know that she is very old, and she has served as a judge for a hundred consecutive canteen competitions, and every five years is five hundred years old, and her appearance has never changed in the past five hundred years, she will always be so old, but she will never be older, and she has not passed away.
The mysterious Granny Niu is not an ordinary person, this is certain, and both the contestants and the audience are extremely curious about this Granny Niu.
Nine judges, five food honors, one food emperor, one king, one prince, and one mysterious person, this is such a huge lineup, even if it is an all-star to describe it.
After Qian Mo introduced the judges in simple words, he took a sealed scroll from Huo Qingfeng, but the whole audience unsealed it and said loudly: "Now announce the content of the first round of this year's Dining House Competition, the first round, the death pointer!"
Hearing the words "death pointer", everyone felt a panic, and the players felt a huge pressure inexplicably enveloping their hearts, as if the shadow of death was really shrouded in their heads.
"The so-called death pointer, that is, each time through the roulette pointer to select two restaurants of the team to face off, the selected team needs to send two players as representatives, the losing side is all eliminated, a total of five restaurants are eliminated in the first round, and the remaining ten restaurants enter the second round. ”
"Elimination?" After listening to Qian Mo's reading, everyone couldn't help but say these two words in a shocked tone, it was not easy to enter the main competition, it was too inhumane to start eliminating so soon, right?
People clearly remember that the first round of the last Restaurant Championship was a points competition, which required three days of catch-and-match, and the last one with the highest points could enter the upper bracket finals.
However, this year, instead of using the points competition, the direct elimination system was adopted, and the rules were suddenly ten times stricter.
In addition, the crowd also discovered one of the things that felt very unfair, and that was the number of eliminated teams.
There are fifteen teams in total, one eliminated in one round and five eliminated in five rounds, that is, only ten teams in total will participate in the competition, and the other five will have byes, fortunately they only need to sit on the sidelines, and they can easily enter the second round without having to work hard for half a point, which is obviously very unfair for both the winner and the loser.
Finally, there is also a very unfair place, in the last points competition, almost all teams had to fight each other, so as to avoid the luck component, so that the team that does not slip will not get points and fall to the end. And in this duel, assuming that the team that does not slip away unfortunately encounters Bailu Restaurant or Jiuyang Restaurant, it is almost doomed to be eliminated, and there is no chance to even fight with the weaker team to prove itself.
For a while, both the players and the audience began to talk about this rule, and many people said that they did not understand, and some people did not dare to say it, but they could see that they were quite dissatisfied with their eyes and expressions.
Seeing everyone's reaction in his eyes, Qian Mo thought for a moment and then said loudly: "Everyone, do you remember a famous sentence left by the ancestor of the God of Food?"
Everyone looked at Qianmo, and they couldn't remember that sentence for a while, after all, the God of Food had said a lot.
"Luck is also a part of strength, and it is the most important part of success, a genius, no matter how high the talent is, no matter how hard he works, if there is no luck, he is a child abandoned by the spirit of the world, no matter how much he cries and makes trouble, he will only be eliminated!" )
