Chapter 2873 This, You Need to Understand (Happy Mid-Autumn Festival Everyone)
While the group was chatting during the Dragon Boat Festival, Xingxing was eating with Shitou, and Xiaoyu also came over. Soon, the three of them were eating pastries.
"Tang Zhang, Jianshe, you two come here for a moment."
When Ran Hongbing saw that Duanwu and Shitou had something to do, he immediately called out to them. The two quickly put down their plates and went to the exhibition hall.
"You two play a game to attract some viewers."
"Oh, and remember to play well, we still need to sell game cards."
The two nodded immediately, and Xingxing even took out a yellow game cartridge from her bag, saying, "Brother Stone, don't deny it if you lose."
Stone raised his head and said, "Our score is 13 to 11, I won two games."
Xingxing snorted coldly, "This time we'll get our revenge."
Soon, as planned, the two inserted the game cartridges they had brought into the game console.
Shi Tou and Xing Xing sat down in their chairs, and an image immediately appeared on the television screen.
As the distinctive sound rang out, the two men's rapid clicking of the game controllers successfully attracted everyone's attention.
Gradually, a crowd gathered around, exclaiming in surprise, which then attracted even more people.
The two were seen controlling their respective characters and attacking each other, occasionally unleashing powerful special moves that drew gasps of surprise from those around them.
Then more people noticed the place, and it became crowded inside and out.
"This, this is your new game?"
The fat man's eyes gleamed, and his fingers kept rubbing against his suit.
Duanwu nodded in agreement, then, seeing Fatty Nan's eager expression, and noticing there were other camera positions, he took out a game cartridge from his military satchel. "Want to give it a try?"
Fatty Nan immediately nodded, but still cautiously asked, "Is it okay?"
"What's wrong with that? Let's go."
Duanwu waved his hand and walked straight to the TV, placed the game cartridge in front of him, explained the rules of the game, and the two of them started playing.
Helen, who was standing nearby, was also invited by Miao Miao to sit at the camera next to her, and the four of them got together to try it out.
"This game is called 'Gladiator,' it's a two-player battle."
Duanwu was explaining things from the side, and people around came over to listen.
"There are about ten characters here, including swordsmen, fishermen, sailors, and thieves, among others."
"But my favorite is still the monk, because monks have amazing legs and they also know how to use an iron head."
As Duanwu introduced the two, Fatty Nan quickly chose a swordsman, and the two began to test each other in combat.
Meanwhile, more and more people heard that China had brought a new game and rushed over to check it out.
I was then blown away by the game's graphics.
The ultimate moves unleashed by both sides were particularly exciting to watch.
The two health bars above are simple and straightforward; no one can say they've secured a win until the very last moment.
Just recently, Duanwu had managed to kill Feizai Nan with his last sliver of health, which excited everyone around him.
More and more people gathered, and the venue could no longer accommodate them.
Seeing that there were quite a few people, Ran Hongbing remembered his brother-in-law's instructions before he came: these game cartridges were meant to be distributed, so he could take this opportunity to make a name for himself.
Thinking this, he took out three game cartridges from his bag and walked up to the nearest foreigner.
To him, all these foreigners looked pretty much the same.
As long as it's not for everyday life, it's fine.
The freckled foreign youth was quite surprised to see Ran Hongbing hand him the game cartridge, but he then accepted it with both hands and thanked Ran Hongbing gratefully.
Ran Hongbing couldn't understand what the other person was saying, but he just smiled and waved his hand, telling them to try it out.
The young man nodded and immediately called his companions to run to the side.
Finally, it was Stone and the others who distributed the game cartridges they had brought to the other people, which restored order to the hall.
Even so, there were still quite a few people gathered around.
Everyone knows that this game called "Gladiator" is a new type of game mode.
Similarly, everyone understands that China has once again taken the lead in game development.
In the exhibition hall across the street, Hashimoto Sakae looked at the two or three people in his own game room, his face ashen.
While cursing China for being shameless, they also hurled insults at those bastards in China.
If they could have come up with a better game, they wouldn't have embarrassed themselves like this.
As Hashimoto Eiichi's gaze swept over the Chinese team opposite him, he was just about to hatch a wicked plan when he noticed several Chinese people looking at him, or rather, staring at them intently.
The faint smile on her face gave him a bad feeling.
"Mountain City!"
Hashimoto shouted to the team captain.
"Hi, sir."
"Go back and practice extra tonight, we must win."
"Hey, sir, we'll definitely win."
"Yoshi."
The gladiator game brought by the Hearts team got the competition off to a great start, and now the hall is full of game enthusiasts trying it out, which also promotes Chinese culture.
After all, what else is the Chinese specialty if not the ubiquitous phrases like "Eat my leg" and "Eat my sword"?
Some game enthusiasts can even awkwardly shout it out, while locals in Hong Kong can shout it out even more smoothly.
During this exhibition, Ran Hongbing and his team met many more people.
The first day passed with the opening ceremony, and as night fell, Ran Hongbing led his team back to the Peninsula Hotel by boat.
What happened at the opening ceremony today was transmitted to all directions via radio waves.
When Fatty Nan returned home, he saw his father, uncles, and other relatives again, and a warm smile appeared on his face.
He had seen this smile before when he first played games with Helen, but this time, the smiles on these people's faces were even brighter.
He then realized why.
It was all because of his new friend, Yang Zengyi.
Although I don't know their background, judging from the behavior of their family members, they are definitely more powerful than Helen's family.
At this moment, Fatty Nan felt a little guilty, because he realized that Yang Zengyi was the kind of person who genuinely considered him a friend, unlike the underlings who used to surround him.
Using a friend to achieve his goals made him feel terrible. But no matter how painful it was, he had to do it, because if he didn't follow his family's arrangements, he wouldn't even get a ticket to meet the other person, let alone become friends.
Meanwhile, after Helen returned to the villa, she thought her parents would let her continue to get close to Alfat. However, to her surprise, the two of them not only didn't talk about anything related to Alfat, but instead inquired about Yang Jianhua and his sister whom she had met that day, and even asked about a boy named Tang Zhang.
She vaguely remembered the boy and initially thought he was Yang Zengyi's younger brother because the two looked somewhat alike.
However, her parents' change in attitude made her realize that the person who came this time was not simple.
At the very least, in their parents' eyes, these three children are no less complex than Alphat.
There are many people who share the same thoughts as Fatty Nan and Helen's family.
Li San originally intended to conceal the identities of the children, but little did he know that they had already been thoroughly investigated.
Knowing this, the various factions hesitated.
Because if you break the rules, you must bear the consequences of breaking the rules.
After all, people who are free from all attachments are always a minority.
The night passed, and the main competition began the next day.
The already high-profile match was further amplified in Hong Kong's entertainment scene, with tabloids even offering betting odds, attracting a large number of bettors.
Not to mention that the official betting market in Macau has already started.
The Hearts team was divided into three groups on the first day of the competition.
There are four teams in total, and the top two teams from the group stage will advance.
Then, the four teams battled it out, with the individual competition featuring Super Mario, and the doubles competition divided into Tank Battle and Super Soldier, with the final score determining the winner.
Whoever clears the most levels wins.
In a game with the same number of rounds, the one who finishes in less time wins.
In individual competitions, the winner or loser receives one point.
Two points are awarded for a doubles match.
Each player can participate in a maximum of two matches per game, and cannot be substituted midway through.
After three matches, the Hearts team advanced from the group stage with a perfect record.
This also surprised those who were following the event.
This also made it clear to everyone that the saying "Don't underestimate the feelings of youth" is not just an empty phrase.
After the first day of competition, the first and second place winners will rest, while the third-place winners from each group will compete for the last two spots starting on the second day.
Then comes the group stage play-offs on the second day, after which sixteen teams will be selected to advance to the knockout stage.
The knockout stage then took place on the third day.
The next day, the Hearts team arrived at the stadium as usual to watch other teams compete.
Fatty Nan led the Hong Kong team to the side, and Alfat also came over with his men.
All three teams successfully advanced from the group stage, making this match very relaxing to watch.
By the end of the day, everyone had gained a better understanding of the situation.
Fatty Nan, Helen, and others asked about the situation in China, and Duanwu Miaomiao didn't hide anything and told the truth.
My family told me before I came that I should just say what I look like, there's nothing shameful about it.
Being poor is not shameful.
Pretending to be rich when you're poor is truly shameful.
Helen was puzzled when she heard that they were eating cornbread for the Dragon Boat Festival.
Miao Miao then told them how to make cornbread. That evening, Helen had her family make a few cornbreads, but after taking the first bite, she couldn't eat any more.
Similarly, Fatty Nan also asked his family to make cornbread, but he ate it in one bite and then remained silent at home.
On the morning of the third day, Fatty Nan brought some cornbread that his family had made to Duanwu, and the two of them ate the cornbread together.
Helen brought a homemade cake to Miaomiao, and the two of them enjoyed the cake together.
The only difference was that when Helen saw Duanwu eating cornbread with relish, she seriously doubted whether what she was eating was the same thing.
"Fatty Nan, your opponents today are Little Rizi, I really envy you guys."
While eating cornbread during the Dragon Boat Festival, he looked at the battle schedule posted on the wall and said with great envy.
After finishing his cornbread, Fatty Nan asked curiously, "Envious? Why?"
In Fatty Nan's opinion, Xiao Rizi's strength is not bad, and they will need to put in some effort to win.
Duanwu chuckled, "Because it's a small day, a small day."
"Hmm? I still don't understand."
Duanwu put away her smile and said, "You have to understand this."
Fatty Nan was startled by Duanwu's seriousness and was a little at a loss. The next second, Duanwu hugged the other's neck and said forcefully, "Listen to me, when you encounter a small day, you just have to fight. My dad said that if you win, you'll get a reward, and if you lose, you'll get a beating when you get home."
"Brother, if you can beat Xiao Rizi, when you come back to Beijing, I'll treat you to Peking duck, the best in the world."
Although he didn't know why Duanwu's dad said that, Fatty Nan still decided to help his brother out.
Furthermore, these petty people are all leering at his teammates; he can't stand it.
"Fine, I'll work with him."
After hearing this, Duanwu patted the fat man on the shoulder and thought that this brother was worth befriending.
On the other side, Ran Hongbing was gesturing to a freckled young man.
The translator beside me was only mediocre, speaking only English, while the young man on the other end was German and knew a little bit of English.
"Ran, your game is so well made."
Ran Hongbing politely shook his head after hearing this, "We are still researching a better game, the kind where many people are in one game."
The translator, after struggling to explain, finally made it clear, and the young man's eyes immediately lit up as he kept asking questions.
Ran Hongbing had only heard about it from his brother-in-law Yang Xiaotao, so it was quite difficult for him to describe it in person. However, the two of them, along with a translator, spoke based on their imaginations, and they managed to have a good exchange.
As for Xingxing, Shitou, Zhao Chang, and Xiaoyu, they weren't idle either. When they arrived in the morning, they wandered around with Alfat and got to know quite a few people.
Zhao Chang, in particular, got along very well with Alphat due to his carefree personality. In addition, given Alphat's status, many people were willing to befriend him, which led Zhao Chang to get to know quite a few people.
Off-site, Liu Lixue, accompanied by Li San and Gu Qingqing, also got to know many locals.
Having spent a long time around Yang Xiaotao, Liu Lixue was also familiar with Yang Xiaotao's attitude towards certain things.
Cooperation is possible, but first and foremost, we must have the right mindset.
Following this principle, quite a few people caught Liu Lixue's eye, and the two sides quickly established contact, which was an unexpected bonus.
