Chapter 235: A Bland Draw
Ding Kui pointed to the flag at the top of the flagpole and said, "When I snatched the flag back, Gan Zong shot at me. ”
"Hahaha, so if the flag stealing side fails, the reconnaissance side will not succeed, and then our mission in Zhenjiang County will be completed. Jiang Ang hugged Ding Kui regardless of the previous embarrassment.
These two goods can also analyze that their task has been completed, and they are not stupid, after all, they are not pig-like teammates.
"Let's go back and sort it out, it's going to be a draw today. Ding Kui gently pushed Jiang Ang away.
When Gan Zong returned to the station, Ma Hun was already waiting for him.
"What's going on? You fouled the whole team and dragged us into the water. Ma Hun was very dissatisfied.
"Ding Kui's speed is very fast, it's not like he was only promoted to Blade Knight this year, otherwise he has a short-distance acceleration technique, and I had to fight when I was caught up by him. Even if I don't foul and get caught by him, I can't continue to steal the flag, and the mission still fails. Gan Zong said with great annoyance.
"You were already promoted two years ago, and now you're close to the late stage of the Fighting Blade Knight, isn't your speed comparable to him?
"Dou Qi cultivation can't be seen yet, the speed is fast and can't be wrong, his fists and feet are skillful, and his judgment is accurate, he must not fight with him in close quarters. ”
"So powerful, do you want to talk to the two of them?"
"We paid the price of a failed mission to get this information, so why should we share it with them, we don't need to tell them, just pay attention to it. ”
Ma Hun nodded approvingly and said, "It makes sense, the price is a bit big, and the news can't be given in vain." I'm going back to get ready for the draw, I'm definitely not going to draw a group with him anyway, good luck!"
The draw rules for the group stage of the state competition are similar to those for the county competition, with each team determining one seeded player, and the top 10 players in the previous tournament will be separated, and the bottom 10 will also be scattered.
There is also a difference from the county competition, that is, the day of the draw is on October 5, and the ordinary stands of the "Great Performance Wutai" are full on this day.
Because there is no competition, there is no charge to enter the venue today, although there is no competition, but it also attracts a large number of spectators to see the demeanor of the players, many people are worried that they will not be able to line up during the official competition, and they will not be able to enter the stadium when it is full.
"Look, look, that big tall guy is said to be the strongest player in the Long family this year, called Long Tan. Zhang San exclaimed excitedly, and Li Si beside him looked at him with disdain and said, "You can see it clearly, it's a bald head, have you ever seen a bald head of the Long family?"
"No, then, which one is that tall one?" Zhang San asked unconfidently.
"Haha, you don't know this," Zhao Qi, who was sitting in the back row, said with a smile, "That's from our Pingzhong County, called Ba Xi." ”
"Wow, the beautiful Miss Jiang Yu has come out, and the tall man in the team behind her is the real Long Tan. Next to Zhao Qi sat Wang Ba, and his whole person jumped up.
"Yes, yes, that tall man is Long Tan, it turns out that there is a player as tall as him in Pingzhong County. Zhang San became excited again.
Ouch, it's a bit like an ancient Roman arena, but the sound of the stands is so small, how did you design it to emit the sound?
Ding Kui observed with great interest the interior of the "Great Performance Martial Stage", which is somewhat similar to a large stadium, with ten circular rings in the arena, surrounded by a square high platform, and the surrounding stands are lined up in a stepped manner from low to high. Since there was no open space to stand and watch, the actual number of people watching the game was not as large as that of Heijunaka-gun.
Each county stood in a ring in pairs according to the results of the previous session, waiting to climb the square high platform in the middle to draw lots, and the person who presided over the lottery was the minister of the cavalry branch Xuanyuan Huang.
The first to take the stage are still the seeded players of each team, Yang Zhan of Dingguo County, Jiang Cao of Anguo County, Gongsun Qi of Weiguo County, Long Tan of Weiguo County, Xun Le of Liguo County, You Tai of Dongjin County, Chong Yi of Wangzhou County, Ximenze of Wu'an County, Maocang of Changyi County, Gan Zong of Shiqiao County, Ma Hun of Jixi County, Ding Kui of Pingzhong County, Jiang Ang of Zhenjiang County, Mu Xun of Nanguo County, Hao Liao of Beilin County, Bian Pan of Pingxiang County, Hou Guan of Yongfeng County, Xu Lei of Ankang County, Ke Ji of Zaogou County, and Wan Yan of Changle County.
Xuanyuan Huang is not from Zhongwangzhou, who is against whom? Which can qualify and which can't? There is not much difference to him, and maintaining fairness is his most important responsibility.
On the rostrum sat Shao Dianjian, this one didn't even need to look at the eyes of others, he invited Fang Shiyi, the minister of the Demon Branch, to supervise the entire lottery process. With the presence of a forbidden magician, it is difficult to cheat.
There were only five county guards who came to Zhennan City to watch the game and attend the lottery ceremony, Mao Xing of Changyi County, Gan Fen of Shiqiao County, Ma Rong of Jixi County, Jiang Dong of Zhenjiang County and Mu Jing of Nanguo County.
More than 20 city lords came, including Lei Wei of the Black Earth City who arrived at the last moment, and no one from the Lei family had walked into the "Great Performing Martial Arts" in Zhennan City for many years. Although Ding Kui is not a child of the Lei family, he is a person from Black Earth City after all, and Lei Kui still sat on the edge of the rostrum with dignity.
It's really a coincidence that there is no book, Ding Kui himself touched the brand of "Bai San", the same as Zeng Qing helped him draw during the county competition, and the top ten seeds in the same group as him were Xun Le of Liguo County.
Xun Le scolded in his stomach: Damn, it took a long time to grab the lot, and catch the seeded players, although he would not face the seeded players of the other four majors, but when he met this trainee knight, he could split the pervert of the sword. If Brother Yue is lucky and can't draw five people, then I will suffer a big loss.
The state and county races are slightly different in that there are only white number plates, and one to ten are drawn together, regardless of the first five and the last five, and the ten people standing in the same ring will not be divided into a group.
The other matchups are:
Bai Yi Jiang Ma Hun;
Bai Erlongtan to Jiang Ang;
Bai Si Yang Zhan vs. Xu Lei;
Bai Wu Yutai vs. Ke Ji;
Bai Liuganzong to Hou Guan;
Bai Qigongsun prayed to ten thousand dirt;
Bai Bamaocang vs. Hao Liao;
White Nine Simonze opposite the side plate;
White ten kinds of cowardice against Mu Xun.
"Hehe, if the other twin of the Xun family meets any of Yang, Jiang, and Long, Liguo County will not be able to compete for a place in the national competition, I don't know what the Liguo Guild thinks?" Shao Dianjian on the rostrum was also not optimistic about Xun Le, thinking that Ding Kui had a higher chance of winning.
In this state competition, Yang Zhan, Jiang Cao and Long Tan are the three favorites to win the championship, and Gongsun Qi, Xun Le, Xun Yue, Jiang Yu, Yang Ling, You Tai, and Chong Yi are the players in the second gear.
The odds offered by the Zhoucheng Gambling House are slightly different, that is, Ding Kui is the fourth favorite to win the championship, which is the sequelae of Jiang Nan's 100,000 gold coins in the Pingzhong County Gambling House.
Ding Kui said to Ma Hun and Jiang Ang who were standing beside him: "Yo, you two are not badly lucky, directly challenge the favorites to win the state competition, as long as Jiang Cao and Long Tan are killed in the group stage, there is a possibility of winning the championship in the final final." ”
Ma Hun rolled his eyes and said, "Kill Jiang Cao, Commander Ding, if you tell your cousin and secretly put me some water, then I have the confidence that I can do it." ”
"Either I'll change with you, and you can deal with Long Tan. Everyone knows that you are much better than me, and you have a lot more certainty than me to kill him. Jiang Ang said with a bitter face.
"Hehe, don't talk in your dreams, I don't think the branch will allow it to change horses. Ma Hun, are you a little unlucky? The exercise mission failed, and the people who drew lots next to you were all facing the players of the five major families, and they could really step on their heels when they walked. Ding Kui said a common saying in this world.
"It's possible. You are obviously better, at least Xun Le is not one of the three favorites, and the exercise mission was successful. Hey, I haven't had a smooth time when I came to the state city. Ma Hun sighed.
On the rostrum, Mao Xing, Gan Fen and Mu Jing looked at Ma Rong together with a little sympathy.
"The four of us didn't match, which is a good result. Gan Fen wanted to find something to comfort Ma Rong, who had been drawn to sign the next sign.
"Hmph, it's not all smoked yet, and there are still a few strong players standing below. Hun Er's luck is a little worse, and it's not bad to be able to take the second place. Even if you get the first place in other groups, you will be challenged in the finals, and I don't have any hope for the top ten this year. Ma Rong can see it.
After the seeded players are drawn, they take turns to climb the high platform from the No. 1 ring to the No. 10 ring, and there are several players whose strength is not necessarily worse than the seeded players in front, Ma Rong's opinion has a certain reason.
The draw of 100 people took less than half a day, and it ended quickly, and this time there was no extreme draw result in the state competition, and the strength of the ten groups was relatively average.
Everyone recognizes that the "group of death" is the "white three" group, because there are three players who can enter the top ten, Xun Le, Ding Kui and Yang Ling. In the eyes of the people in the state city, the strength of the three of them is in one grade, and whoever wins the final group is likely to win, but one person will be a little unlucky, and the third place will lose the qualification to challenge the top ten.
"Zhao Qi, it's a pity for Pingzhong County, your seeded players are hopeless in the top ten. Said Friday.
"Don't be in such a hurry to say," Zheng Liu opened his mouth to speak for Zhao Qi, "You must know that Ding Kui's odds in the national competition are lower than those of the two in his group, why do you say that he is hopeless in the top ten?"
"Yes, yes. Zhao Qi nodded vigorously.
"Hey, don't believe it, that Yang Ling and Xun Le are strong, they are both second-tier players who are favorites to win the championship, although Ding Kui is powerful, but not at that level.
+ Don't talk about the odds of the gambling house, no one spent 100,000 gold coins to buy Ding Kui to win the championship this time. As far as I know, there aren't many people who even bet on Ding Kui to make it to the national competition, so I have a basis for saying that he has no hope of being in the top ten. "No more on Friday, he did the investigation.
"Since you're so confident, why don't we make a bet?" Zheng Liuyi pressed Zhao Qi, who wanted to speak.
