The Final Team Competition
Chapter 3119 The Final Team Competition
June 9th!
In Beijing, the sun was much hotter than usual, and the old locust tree in the courtyard looked rather wilted. Wangcai, who was hiding under it to cool off, kept wagging its tail, while Heiniu, the black dog beside it, kept moving around.
Wangcai got annoyed and roared, and Heiniu immediately came over and lay down.
Wangcai always feels a little unaccustomed to life without Xiaowei.
With Xiaowei around, Wangcai has a pillar of support and can ask Xiaowei, his big sister, for anything.
Especially when it comes to its master's thoughts, it's truly impossible to fathom them without the eldest sister around.
I glanced at Wangwang in the distance.
This silly son is still playing with Dudu in the sun, doesn't he even know what time it is? In this heat, he's roasted his little master's face like a pig's head. No wonder the mistress will be angry when she comes back.
Wangcai lazily rolled around under the tree. Hearing the noise, he immediately looked into the yard.
Yang Xiaotao came out of the house; he was supposed to rest at home today.
The pace of work has been too fast lately, with one thing after another. Sometimes, before I can even finish one task, another new one comes up, making me feel like I can hardly breathe.
So much so that my eyes are getting blurry from looking at documents so much now.
So Yang Xiaotao gave himself a day off.
I just watered the vegetable garden this morning and then went fishing in the West Sea.
It's been a long time since I've been there; the fish in the West Sea are so fat!
Amidst Yan Fugui's envious gaze, they returned home laden with their spoils and then prepared lunch.
Before I could even prepare lunch, I received a call from Boss Peng, asking me to come over as soon as possible.
Yang Xiaotao knew that President Peng usually wouldn't call him, so if he did, something must have happened.
So he told Ran Qiuye and then prepared to go out.
As for Ran Qiuye, she's currently at home waiting for a call from France.
Today is also the day of the final round of the French Games Competition.
Although the two were busy with work, they didn't have time to keep in touch.
Yang Xiaotao was able to glean a lot of crucial information from Liu Lixue and Lou Xiao'e, and then the two of them would share it together in bed when they got home.
For example, in the team competition of Red Alert, the Hearts team made it to the final.
For example, in the individual competition, Duanwu, Xiaoyu, and Xingxing each won first place, and I heard that they were all given a gold medal. Duanwu said on the phone that he bit it with his teeth and said it was real gold.
Others also performed well, with Chen Gong's youngest son, Chen Shuang, coming in second place and winning a silver medal.
Two other people also won silver medals.
In short, this trip was very fruitful.
However, Yang Xiaotao felt that the French organizers were subtly implying something about the Federal Republic of Germany.
If a gold medal isn't as valuable as a medal from their game competition, then there'll be some fun to be had afterwards.
Yang Xiaotao left the courtyard, while Ran Qiuye, Liu Yuhua, Cui Ping, and the others stayed by the satellite phone. They didn't dare to call the other end, for fear of disturbing the children's match and affecting the competition.
Secondly, they weren't sure about the situation over there; what if they were still sleeping?
The group waited in the courtyard, and took the opportunity to finish cooking the dishes that Yang Xiaotao hadn't completed.
France, Carra.
While the sun shines fiercely in Beijing, the sunlight here is much gentler.
The wind from the coast brings moist air here, and the sky is a clear, deep blue.
As the sun began its workday, figures emerged from various houses, chatting and laughing. Many carried binoculars and called out to each other as they made their way to the final venue.
Along the way, the group chatted in small groups, discussing classic moments from the game competition or speculating about who would ultimately win, all while eagerly anticipating the final match.
The gaming competition has now been running for a week, during which many unforgettable moments have occurred.
There was laughter, there were tears, and there were many touching scenes.
Even the game's organizers didn't expect that such a small game could have such great appeal.
As gaming competitions gained increasing fame, and computers, a novel technology, entered the public eye, they aroused curiosity in more and more people.
Those who are already fond of games are especially crazy about it.
This has further expanded the influence of the gaming competition, and it even shows a tendency to surpass the World Cup in the neighboring village.
Of course, France wouldn't steal the spotlight from the other side, otherwise they wouldn't have scheduled their World Cup appearances separately.
As more and more people enter France and Carra, the French economy has been greatly stimulated, and the economy, which had been sluggish due to the epidemic, has once again shown vitality.
Even some local authorities in France conducted a survey.
The investigation found that the profits gained from this gaming competition far exceeded the cost of purchasing the computer, and even surpassed the total investment in the gaming competition.
Under these circumstances, the French government was naturally pleased.
Therefore, for this final competition, not only did the government send high-ranking officials as award presenters, but a special reward was also added, which sparked a lot of speculation after the news was released.
However, Yang Xiaotao saw this as just a gimmick.
On the other side, after Duanwu and Xingxing and the other children woke up and washed up, they ran a few laps around the camp under Shitou's guidance before going back to their room to eat.
Everything was in perfect order.
Accompanied by others, they then left their residence and headed to the competition hall.
Their opponents this time are the British Queens, who defeated the Ederson Academy team.
That's right, it's the same team led by Juliet and Lina that we saw last time.
Surprisingly, this team was entirely composed of girls.
This is similar to the Edison team, yet different, because the Edison team also has a fat guy.
Thank goodness he's fat, otherwise...
Initially, this team was not favored because they barely won every game, especially against the Japanese team Sakura.
The two sides fought fiercely from the start, with the Queen's team losing two of their three bases. It seemed that the Sakura team had the victory in their grasp.
But no one expected that the Queen's team would send out a surprise force, twenty Prism Tanks that swept across the front and directly destroyed the Sakura team's main base.
After their respective bases were destroyed, the two sides engaged in a final battle in the open field. Both sides fought with all their might, making for a thrilling and exciting fight that the audience thoroughly enjoyed.
In the end, the Queen Team, with the advantage of snipers, took the lead and dealt a devastating blow to the Japanese infantry. They then used three Prism Tanks to sweep the enemy away.
That battle also made everyone present realize the tenacity of this team.
The Queens team was the first to arrive at the competition venue. The moment the six girls in emerald green dresses appeared, the crowd erupted in cheers.
Fans from Britain and supporters of the conquered cheered loudly in support of him.
Juliet, as the captain, walked at the front, her fair neck held high, her nobility written all over her face.
The team members behind him, facing the shouts from the surroundings, maintained their cool demeanor and slowly walked into the arena.
Soon, security personnel separated the audience and led the team members to the platform prepared for the competition.
There, rows of computers were powered on.
Meanwhile, on the sidelines of the competition field, Ran Hongbing and his comrades who had arrived earlier were conducting final checks.
In a competition like this, if the computer malfunctions midway through, the shame would be felt by the entire world.
As for my French counterparts, we've gotten to know them quite well after these few days of interaction.
Besides envying China's computers and games, they were even more envious of the delicious food brought by the Chinese.
That bright red chili sauce.
Just as the Queens team ascended the high platform, the Hearts team also appeared on the outskirts.
As the team members appeared, a song began to play.
Wang Guodong walked at the front, with Shi Qingsong leading the guards around him, and Duanwu leading the way, holding a flag in his hand.
At the back of the line, Xingxing carried a tape recorder, not feeling embarrassed at all, but rather looking very proud.
Wang Guodong and Shi Qingsong, on the other hand, felt a little embarrassed.
In such situations, it's appropriate to bring your own sound system.
I always feel embarrassed.
At that moment, rousing music came from the tape recorder.
That song, "I Believe," instantly swept through the entire venue.
Then came even more enthusiastic cheers from the crowd.
To adults, this seems a bit pretentious.
But in the eyes of young people, this is the trend, this is what they want.
Playing games is about being free and unrestrained.
Moreover, the previous game champions are far more famous than the Queens team.
As the two participating teams entered the arena, the atmosphere reached a climax, with whistles and cheers frequently heard.
The host looked proud as he witnessed this.
Although they don't have the global attention of the World Cup, they still garnered a lot of popularity through their gaming tournaments.
The key is that this can become a part of French culture, like the Cannes Film Festival, and continue to be held for a long time.
Next, the host read the competition rules again.
In a single match, the outcome is decided in one game.
The map is a snowy, icy landscape with six sections.
Everyone was already familiar with them.
Then comes the standard procedure: each team sends out three players, and each player chooses three different national bases.
After a series of selections, the base to be used was finally chosen.
Both sides use the same method, which can ensure fairness as much as possible.
After the host explained again, everyone's selected game base appeared on their computer screens.
It hasn't started yet; the base vehicle hasn't been officially deployed.
At this moment, the six people participating in the competition are Duanwu, Xingxing, and Xiaoyu.
On the opposite side were Juliet, Lina, and Adele.
Although they were sitting in pairs facing each other, the computer screens were completely blocked.
Duanwu sat in the middle and nodded to the two people beside him.
"Brother Duanwu, are we really going to use that plan?"
Xiaoyu asked, still somewhat worried.
This is the official final, after all, with so many people watching. If something embarrassing happens...
Xiaoyu's face was full of worry.
But when Xingxing saw the base she had chosen, she looked eager to try it out. "I think it's a good idea. The other side is definitely trying to play it safe. If we do the opposite, we might be able to catch them off guard."
"Otherwise, if we played the normal game, who knows how long it would have gone on."
After listening to their conversation, Duanwu simply wiggled her fingers and didn't seem too nervous.
"It's alright, we've tested this tactic before, it works fine."
Duanwu smiled, then looked at Xiaoyu, "Besides, don't you have my back?"
Xiaoyu gritted her teeth and nodded silently.
On the other side, Juliet was also telling her teammates, "We need to establish barracks as soon as possible, and then set up defensive lines at each intersection."
"Air defense must also be done well."
"Last time they played against the Sakura team, they brought a bunch of engineers in helicopters and stole their entire base."
Lina and her companion both nodded in agreement. The group of guys on the other side were too cunning; it was never too much to be careful when fighting them.
After Juliet finished speaking, she turned her head and glanced at the other person through the gap in the computer screen. Her gaze fell on Duanwu, who looked relaxed, and she sneered inwardly.
She wanted to defeat this guy herself in front of Helen and show him the power of British women.
