Red Heart Squad
Chapter 2872 Red Heart Squad
Hong Kong.
Li San received a phone call from Li Rong herself, along with information about the contestants.
Looking at the names that Li Rong had highlighted in red on the document, along with the background information following each name, Li San felt immense pressure.
He originally intended to hold an international competition to enhance the reputation of Hong Kong's gaming market, attract more attention to Hong Kong, and thus contribute to economic development.
This is also why the event received strong support in Hong Kong.
To his surprise, the participants this time were a group of "ancestors".
If any of these things go wrong, he won't be able to explain it to his superiors.
Thinking of this, Li San quickly summoned Li Ge, Xiao Qi, and the others back to rearrange the previously agreed-upon plan.
This is to ensure that nothing goes wrong.
Two days later.
After resting and rejuvenating at the Peninsula Hotel, the Red Hearts team boarded a cruise ship and arrived in Hong Kong to participate in the opening ceremony of the competition.
When the group set foot on this unfamiliar land under Liu Lixue's guidance, they were immediately met with a lot of attention.
At the dock, Li San and all the main partners of this event were present, and together they welcomed everyone.
Amidst the bustling crowd, people in Hong Kong in the distance were also eagerly awaiting the arrival of the newcomers.
The participating teams were announced long ago.
As a local representative, Hong Kong also selected a team to participate in the competition.
This team came from Ederson Noble School, and the team leader was none other than Fatty Man.
However, apart from the chubby guy, the rest of the group were girls, which gave Hong Kong's entertainment tabloids a hot topic.
"Helen, look, they're all quite young."
The chubby man was wearing a black suit, and from a distance he looked more like a mound of earth.
Beside the chubby man, six girls were like colorful flowers in a flower bed.
Helen wore a light blue floral dress, her face was fair, and her eyes were full of curiosity.
"Yes, they are not very old."
Helen's gaze swept over the crowd, lingering for a moment on a few short figures before looking at the boy walking in front.
The boy gave her a unique feeling.
"Dragon Boat Festival, walk carefully."
Miao Miao looked at Duanwu, who was standing tall and arrogant, and whispered a reminder.
To everyone's surprise, Duanwu replied without turning her head, "It's alright. Before we came, Grandpa Han told us not to be afraid of them."
"This is our land, so let's treat it like home."
"Proud and spirited."
Duanwu spoke with great conviction, and even started singing for a while.
Miao Miao listened thoughtfully, then looked at the people around her who were welcoming her and nodded silently.
My great-grandfather once said that you should act like you're in charge, especially in front of your family, so that they can feel at ease.
Thinking this way, he didn't say anything more.
However, thinking of Duanwu, Miaomiao still reminded him, "Duanwu, if you call out to Grandpa, you'll be in big trouble when Dad finds out."
Zheng Xiong, full of vigor and high spirits, almost slipped and fell. Xiao Yu, standing beside him, chuckled and looked on with anticipation as she recalled the scene in the yard.
In comparison, Ran Hongbing, who was leading the group, seemed a bit nervous, but fortunately, Liu Lixue was in front of him.
Having been raised with a good upbringing, Liu Lixue had seen her share of grand occasions and was no stranger to this kind of scene.
Many people at the scene knew Liu Lixue's identity, and given her age and single status, many young people present had high hopes for her.
"Helen, is that Prince Alphat?"
"so hot."
The girls' faces lit up when they saw Alphat coming down.
If Liu Lixue was the target of the boys present, then Alphat was the prey of the girls.
Helen looked over, having seen it on Alphat, and nodded silently.
The family's admonitions came to mind: for children of this kind, the most important thing is to get 'value for money,' and Alphabet is the best platform to realize that value.
However, being precocious, she always felt that the other person's gaze was on the girl in front of them.
Who is this girl?
When the group approached Li San, Liu Lixue gracefully introduced herself on behalf of the group.
Li San then introduced the Hong Kong people present, and the meeting concluded.
Then, under Li San's arrangement, the two teams arrived at the venue by car, rested briefly, and then followed the staff into the venue.
In the afternoon, after the opening ceremony officially began.
As teams appeared one by one and entered the venue amidst rounds of applause, the atmosphere became increasingly enthusiastic.
In order, the local Hong Kong teams were the first to appear.
The chubby man strode forward, holding a chess piece, followed by a group of beautiful young women.
However, being able to compete from the Hong Kong team shows that they must have some skills.
Moreover, these kinds of games and competitions aren't about looks or physical attributes.
Next came the team from Britain. Many of the participants in this competition were from Europe. The game consoles were promoted by the 'distributor' France, and the game market itself was already quite large with a large number of gamers. When they heard about this international competition, they immediately responded.
There are ten teams from Europe this time, which is more than half of the participating teams.
It can be said that it came on strong.
After all the teams entered the field one after another, the last one was the Hearts Team.
Ran Hongbing carried the Red Heart Squad's "battle flag," a red flag with the words "Red Heart" written on it.
Simple and clear.
The group was dressed uniformly in military green clothing, leather shoes, and military satchels hanging from their waists, making them look quite imposing as they walked.
This uniform attire caught the eye of many teams present.
As the Hearts team entered, everyone's attention turned to them once again.
In the British line next to them, everyone held their heads high, their expressions haughty.
Although the game was made in China, playing the game doesn't necessarily mean you'll lose.
Besides, all of them are children, how could they possibly lose?
Within the United States contingent, a group of people stared with ill intent, some chuckling and muttering words like "crying." The Alliance squad, on the other hand, was more of a scrutinizer.
They didn't understand why China would send such a team. Even if it were the neighboring Japanese islands, the people they sent would be more normal.
A group of children?
I don't understand.
The team from the Japanese islands appeared respectful, but their eyes were filled with anger and longing.
The desire for victory.
They don't care who the other person is, how old they are, or whether they are a child.
As long as they represent China, defeating them means defeating China.
They can complete the task and enjoy the honor.
Standing in the audience, Hashimoto Sakae almost jumped for joy when he saw this.
Now that the domestic situation is settled, everything is fine.
There was also a French team nearby, with smiles on their faces. They had a lot of exchanges with China and were among the first European countries to get their hands on video game consoles.
French youth, who cherish freedom, are particularly adept at this.
There were also the groups from East Germany and West Germany; the two groups just glanced at each other and then stared at each other again.
They can lose to others, but they cannot lose to the other party.
This also involves a task.
The other participating teams only glanced at it, and were more focused on scrutinizing it.
To everyone present, China in the past was shrouded in mystery.
In recent years, however, the veil of mystery surrounding China has been lifted layer by layer.
First came the earth-shattering mushroom cloud, then the massive bombs, then missiles, then airplanes, tanks, and armored vehicles…
Today, we even have satellites, representing a high level of technological development, and satellite phones…
All of this, like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, is shaking the world.
Now, they met the Chinese team, who, like many of the other participants, were young and energetic.
This is the window that China has opened.
Through these young people, let the world understand this country.
Just as everyone was sizing up the Hearts Squad, the members of the Hearts Squad were also curiously looking at the people around them.
They were whispering among themselves, their faces showing no sign of tension.
At the opening ceremony, officials representing Hong Kong delivered a speech welcoming the 28 participating teams from around the world. They then explained the competition schedule, placed the championship trophy on the stage, and announced the prize money.
After the opening ceremony, the team leaders went to attend the group meetings.
Teams are free to move around in the hall, and visitors from all over the world are also welcome to come and visit.
This is also an important part of the competition.
Here, each team can showcase some of their country's games to introduce them to a wider audience.
Thanks to the foundation laid by China's new era of game consoles, other countries have basically referenced the game cartridge model in their game research, so many game consoles and televisions were placed in the lobby.
Ran Hongbing led his team to the designated area, which Gu Qingqing had arranged in advance.
"Captain, shall we do it, or shall I?"
Duanwu looked around, her eyes full of curiosity.
Stone and Xingxing, each carrying a plate, came over and said, "Come and try this, it's delicious."
Just as Duanwu was about to start making a bite of the cake, Miaomiao snorted coldly, "Don't forget the rules."
Stone scratched his head and prepared to put the plate down.
Xingxing was a little reluctant, but she still placed the plate on the table next to her.
"This cake is delicious."
Just then, a voice came from the side. The group looked over and saw a boy of similar height and build walking over, accompanied by a tall girl.
"Hello, my name is Zheng Kainian!"
"You can call me Anan or Fatty Anan."
The chubby man said with a grin, then introduced the girl next to him, "This is my teammate, Helen."
"Hello, it's nice to meet you."
Ran Hongbing stared at Helen's face for a moment before speaking first, "Hello, I'm Ran Hongbing, the captain of the Red Heart Squad this time!"
Duanwu smiled at the chubby man and said, "Hello, my name is Yang Zengyi."
Then, looking at Fatty Nan's body, he said, "Is this the kind of body you have because of eating this?"
"If you're that fat, you'd have to run at least ten laps around my house."
Fatty Nan didn't seem to care, saying, "I hate running the most."
Duanwu immediately nodded, "Actually, I also hate running, but I don't dare not run."
"why?"
"Because my dad will beat me."
"You're so lucky, your dad still beats you. My dad's always out drinking and in meetings, he doesn't care about me at all."
The two chatted like old friends who hadn't seen each other for years.
"Hello, my name is Yang Jianhua."
Miao Miao walked up to Helen with poise and grace.
The two were about the same height and had fair complexions, but Miao Miao had short hair and a capable and heroic air about her.
Helen, on the other hand, had long blonde hair and looked like a porcelain doll.
"Hello, you're also surnamed Yang? What's your relationship with me?"
Helen noticed the difference in their names and quickly asked, "He's my brother."
Miao Miao smiled, and Helen nodded, "So you two can play games together? I really envy you siblings."
Miao Miao shook her head, "I don't like playing with him at all, he's the dumbest."
"Ah, the dumbest?"
"Yes, the kind that's always causing trouble."
