Chapter 06 Chapter 6
In Area A of the venue, hundreds of participating artists gathered together.
The program director, holding the program card, explained the rules: "This year's Super Star Games will feature fifteen athletic events, with a total of 153 artists participating. All contestants will be divided into five teams for a team competition."
"Next, I will randomly draw five players. These five people will become the captains of each team, and they will complete the task of selecting the players."
Under the gaze of the audience, the director drew out five contestant name tags from a small black box one after another, one of which was Qi Xiayan.
Qi Xiayan's eyes widened, "I'm the captain?"
Wu Yuliang next to him quickly interjected, "Since we've known each other for so many years, please don't pick me when you choose your team members."
Qi Xiayan was speechless, turned around and took Chu Xi's hand, "It's enough for me to choose Chu Xi, but no one wants to choose you."
"That won't work. Sister Xi is my master. I also want to learn archery from her. I have to be on the same team with her." Wu Yuliang became anxious and immediately changed his statement.
Chu Xi was sandwiched between the two of them and remained silent.
The director continued, "Also, each team can only have a maximum of two players registered for the same event. Captains, please pay attention to the personnel allocation."
After listening to the rules, Qi Xiayan tapped her chin with her slender fingers and analyzed:
"There are over 150 contestants in total. If we divide them into five teams, each team will have about 30 people. There are exactly 15 events, and two people will sign up for each. Chu Xi, are you sure you want to sign up for archery?"
Chu Xi nodded, "Yeah."
Wu Yuliang naturally put himself in Chu Xi's team, "I'm also signing up for archery. Then in our group, it's just me and Sister Xi who will do the archery."
Qi Xiayan stopped bickering with Wu Yuliang and nodded. "Okay, you two will do the archery. The other new members will have to compete in other events."
Chu Xi raised his eyes to look at Qi Xiayan, "I remember you signed up for archery and gymnastics?"
"It's not a big deal. I was just about to give up archery. I have a background in dance, so I'll learn gymnastics faster, but I definitely won't improve much in archery in a short period of time."
Qi Xiayan is not a person who likes to hesitate and waste time. After realizing that she is better at gymnastics, she decisively chose to give up archery.
"That's fine." Chu Xi nodded.
At this time, Xu Chongguang walked towards Wu Yuliang's position. He squatted down and asked what was going on: "Have you started dividing into teams?"
Wu Yuliang scratched his head and said awkwardly, "Why are you here just now? We just divided into groups."
Each team could only have two people sign up for the same event. Qi Xiayan's team had already confirmed Chu Xi and Wu Yuliang for archery, so Xu Chongguang, who also wanted to sign up for archery, definitely couldn't be selected.
Wu Yuliang briefly explained the situation to Xu Chongguang.
Xu Chongguang chuckled, his tone rather helpless: "I really don't want to be your opponent." This was obviously directed to Chu Xi. His archery skills were still far behind Chu Xi's.
The director continued to move forward: "Now, please ask the five captains to come forward and select the team members."
Qi Xiayan stood up and walked out of the crowd, then turned back and gestured to Chu Xi.
Wu Yuliang mistakenly thought that he was being given a secret signal, and quickly cooperated by pointing at himself and Chu Xi, implying that they must be chosen.
Unexpectedly, Qi Xiayan just smiled at him subtly, then ignored his hint and turned to walk towards the director.
Wu Yuliang's expression became serious. He quickly moved closer to Chu Xi and whispered, "Master, we must be on the same team. If Qi Xiayan doesn't choose me later, please remind her."
Wu Yuliang knew nothing about archery, and he didn't want to miss the opportunity to finally find such a great master like Chu Xi.
Chu Xi told him to relax: "She's just teasing you, she won't choose you."
Although she had not been in contact with Qi Xiayan for a long time, she could feel the loyalty of this girl.
Wu Yuliang quickly calmed down, but then suddenly became furious again after thinking about something: "Sister Xi, with you here, our team is sure to win the gold medal in the archery event, right?"
"Not necessarily. There are always people who are better than you." Chu Xi replied calmly. No matter what kind of competition it was, she wouldn't be so arrogant as to assume she could win for sure.
Wu Yuliang looked at Chu Xi with admiration.
Ever since I met Sister Xi, she has always been in this emotionally stable state.
Calm, composed, and composed, he is simply the incarnation of the god of rationality, which makes people feel ashamed of themselves.
At this time, the five captains also decided on the order of selecting the team members.
The five captains will select the players in order, and only one person can be selected in each round.
Team members have the right to refuse.
The captain has the right to grab the player. If multiple captains want to compete for a certain player, the players will make a counter-selection.
Qi Xiayan was chosen to be the second team member.
The first captain took the lead in selecting team members. His expectant gaze fell directly on He Yutong, "I choose He Yutong."
In an instant, everyone's eyes fell on He Yutong's position.
The live camera also gave He Yutong an ultra-clear close-up.
[The young man has good vision. He knew to choose our Yutong first. If nothing else, at least with Yutong here, the archery gold medal is guaranteed.]
[I'm really shocked. He Yutong is so popular now, yet she's still participating in a small variety show just for archery. The production team must be incredibly proud.]
[Hurry up and give us a private live video of Yutong! I want to see her win the archery championship!]
The artists present had all heard that He Yutong had learned archery for half a year, so they chose her naturally to first keep the gold medal in the archery event.
In addition, He Yutong is a first-line actress who is very popular nowadays and has several hit TV series. If you can be in the same team with her, you will definitely get a lot of shots.
No matter what the reason, smart people will choose He Yutong first.
Just as He Yutong was about to answer, the captains on Qi Xiayan's left and right also stood up to grab people: "I choose He Yutong too!"
"I also want to choose Sister Yutong."
The three captains started to fight for the players.
The director gave the right to choose to He Yutong: "Now please ask the team members to make a counter-selection."
He Yutong became the focus of everyone's attention.
Her eyes fell on the first captain, "I'll choose the first team. After all, they chose me first."
After being successfully counter-selected by He Yutong, the first captain immediately stepped forward excitedly and warmly welcomed He Yutong into the team.
Then, it was Qi Xiayan's turn to select the team members.
As the camera swept over, her face was filled with a sunny smile and her eyes fell on Chu Xi in the crowd.
"I choose Chu Xi."
The crisp sound spread throughout the stadium, but the artists were all stunned.
"Chu Xi? Who is Chu Xi?" A small murmur sounded.
Although the participants of this variety show are not first-line artists, they are all from the same circle and basically know each other privately.
But the name Chu Xi is too unfamiliar.
Apart from the group of artists who participated in the archery training yesterday, no one else had heard of this person.
The camera quickly zoomed in on Chu Xi.
However, netizens in the live broadcast room were not very convinced.
[Since yesterday, the production team has been deliberately promoting this person named Chu Xi. Could it be that she was inserted by the investors?]
[I'm speechless. It's obvious that archery skills like that can't be learned in just two days, yet he insists on portraying himself as an archery genius. It really ruins my impression of him.]
Chu Xi really has too many shots. Other artists only have a few shots a day, but Chu Xi alone took up a lot of screen time yesterday.
[I will always support and believe in the decisions of my beloved Xia Yan! Come on, Team Xia Yan!]
Chu Xi walked out of the crowd.
The curious eyes of other artists around her fell on her.
The scene was very quiet. Compared to the scene where He Yutong was fought over by the three captains, the scene where Chu Xi stood out was actually a bit deserted.
Qi Xiayan enthusiastically ran to Chu Xi and took her hand, "If no one competes with me, then Chu Xi will be my team member."
The other four captains exchanged a silent glance. None of them knew Chu Xi, and naturally had no interest in her. They simply smiled politely and remained silent.
The group of artists who participated in the archery training yesterday were very familiar with Chu Xi. After all, they had just taken an afternoon class with him yesterday.
After seeing Chu Xi being chosen, they all lowered their heads and fell into deep thought.
Soon, the captains began the second round of selection.
It was time to select the first team again, and the artists recommended themselves one after another.
"Choose me, choose me! I'll be in a group with Sister Yutong shooting arrows. I'll just lie down."
"I'm not good at archery, but I'm okay at running. Look at the kids, they just want to be on a team."
The first captain turned to look at He Yutong, "Sister Yutong, do you want to team up with me?"
He Yutong raised her finger and pointed at Xu Chongguang, her expression indifferent, "Xu Chongguang, he also signed up for archery."
"Okay, then we'll choose Xu Chongguang." The first captain immediately made the decision.
Next, it was Qi Xiayan's turn to select the team members.
Everyone thought it would be the same deserted scene as before, but the group of artists who participated in yesterday's archery training suddenly started competing fiercely.
"Xia Yan, choose me, choose me. After practicing yesterday, my archery skills have improved a bit. I will definitely not hold you back."
Before he finished speaking, another person came up and pushed him aside. "Your improvement is not enough. Overall, my archery has improved the fastest. I was able to hit the ninth ring yesterday."
"Everyone knows that your nine-ring shot was a coincidence. Don't listen to his nonsense. Choose me, choose me!"
The reason everyone was competing was of course to be on the same team with Chu Xi.
Although He Yutong is the best archer in many people's minds, Chu Xi's arrow that pierced the ten rings yesterday was still very impressive.
Moreover, He Yutong's team already has two candidates for the archery event, so they can only continue to compete for Chu Xi's team.
The artists from other events were completely unaware of what happened in the archery area yesterday. After seeing this scene, they were a little puzzled.
Those who signed up for the archery event all said they would not hold others back. But who are they holding back?
I haven't heard that Qi Xiayan is good at archery.
Two seconds later, someone reacted and looked at Chu Xi, who had been standing low-key behind Qi Xiayan.
Could it be... this Chu Xi?
