Chapter 21 Boss
◎Isn't the Heroic Spirit recruited this time too amazing?◎
"So what kind of Heroic Spirit do you want to recruit?"
"The kind that adds fairness and justice buffs to the entire field!"
Elder Xu and Elder Wu were stunned for a moment, then asked together, "BUFF?"
Seeing their surprise, Qin Shu slowly realized that her two teachers didn't play games, so she quickly explained, "BUFF is a gaming term. You can understand it as an effect or status."
"In other words, you want to recruit a heroic spirit to ensure that the sports meet is conducted in an absolutely fair, just and open manner, and that all competitions are based entirely on physical strength and not on external forces?" Old Wu's mind became active and he quickly understood what Qin Shu meant.
"Yes, that's what I mean."
"It would be great if it could really be done." Mr. Xu sighed, but still felt that this matter was not so reliable.
After all, they really couldn't think of anyone who could do this kind of thing. Even the most intelligent robots couldn't do it. It was because there had been incidents before where robot referees' judgments were too mechanical, especially in competitions that required aesthetics and skills. Non-artificial aesthetics did have some problems, so this time they used intelligent life as referees again.
Qin Shu did have a few ideas, but the Advanced Heroic Spirit Library did not allow her to freely choose talents, but let talents choose her, so she could not be sure who she would recruit in the end. What's more, as a person who submitted herself to the Interstellar Federation, she still wanted to abide by the scientific plan for achievement points, at least report before using the points.
…
After today's class was over, the three of them tacitly sat down on the sofa in the living room, and then quickly turned on the projector, wanting to watch a review of today's daytime games. Fortunately, everything went smoothly today, and similar things did not happen to the athletes of the Interstellar Federation. The Interstellar Federation team also won 14 gold medals, and the other qualifying players also successfully advanced to the semi-finals and finals.
The most exciting competition today was the women's weightlifting competition. Even if they were watching the replay, it made the three of them excited.
You should know that in the end, the battle for the championship and runner-up basically came down to the Interstellar Federation and the Copra Empire. The contestant from the Copra Empire successfully lifted the highest weight in the history of interstellar weightlifting in the final clean and jerk, which almost secured her victory. After all, the contestant from the Interstellar Federation made a mistake in the previous snatch. Even if she successfully lifted the same weight in the last lift, her total score would be 7.5 kilograms less than hers, making it almost impossible for her to catch up.
The players from the Copra Empire obviously felt that they had already secured victory. They shouted excitedly on the stage and had already started celebrating their victory in advance. After stepping down from the stage, they hugged their coaches and had no intention of paying any more attention to the Star Alliance players.
Everyone thought that the Star Alliance player was bound to lose, and the audience from the Copra Empire at the scene happily waved the imperial flag and sang the national anthem, as if the game was already over.
After all, if the Star Alliance players want to win, they can only lift a weight of more than 7.5 kilograms in the final lift, which exceeds the highest record of all previous Star Games.
7.5 kilograms is just a drizzle for the average interstellar people who have high physical fitness. However, this 7.5 kilograms is added to the previous maximum weight that has already exceeded the maximum load of most people's bodies. At this time, even an extra 0.1 kilogram may be the last straw that breaks the camel's back.
what to do?
Give up?
No one thought the Star Alliance player would succeed, after all, she had failed twice before, and some spectators in the stands even started booing.
However, the Huaguo athlete, under tremendous pressure, chose to challenge the weight of ten kilograms, which was the highest record of the Interstellar Games. This was a life-and-death struggle.
Some people laughed and thought she was dreaming.
Some people booed her and wanted to kick her off the stage.
Some people are worried and hope that she will just be the runner-up.
But she did not hesitate or waver at all. Amidst boos and pessimism, she walked onto the field. Her eyes were firm, like a warrior ready to die. No Star Alliance member would not be moved by such a look.
In the end, the Star Alliance athlete successfully lifted the weight that exceeded her limit and held the barbell on her shoulders for 10 seconds, winning the gold medal in the competition. This achieved a stunning reversal and also rewrote the record for the highest weight lifted by women in the Star Games.
Everyone knew that the players from the Copra Empire were very strong in this game. In fact, many people were prepared to lose the gold medal, but the gold medal that should have been lost was regained by the Star Alliance players.
This is certainly due to her desire for victory, but also her determination to bring glory to the Interstellar Federation.
She let the flag of the Interstellar Federation fly over the Kopra Empire and let the national anthem of the Interstellar Federation echo throughout the venue.
By the time Qin Shu reacted, her eyes were wet, and Old Xu was already in tears, saying "good job" several times in a row.
But they didn't have much time to be happy, as a heartbreaking news came out. The Interstellar Federation player who risked her life was sent to the ICU as soon as she came down from the podium. Because of that final move, her internal organs ruptured and she was bleeding from all seven orifices. She is now being rescued and her life is in danger.
"How could this happen?" No one expected that the outcome would be like this, but when thinking about it carefully, it seemed that it shouldn't be surprising. That was ten kilograms that exceeded the body's capacity, so it was natural to get hurt.
They only realized it belatedly, but the person involved must have made the corresponding preparations before stepping onto the field.
"That look..." Qin Shu suddenly understood why the Star Alliance athletes had such a look at that time.
"Don't let anything happen." Old Wu's mood instantly dropped.
"I'm afraid that even if she is rescued, her career will be greatly shortened." After all, athletes' injuries are always the first factor that affects their progress.
Qin Shu didn't know when Mr. Xu and Mr. Wu left. She sat quietly on the sofa for a while.
Since slowly regaining her sense of belonging, Qin Shu clearly felt that her cold and numb emotions seemed to be slowly recovering, allowing her to slowly become the normal person who could be touched and feel angry.
It is precisely because of this that she is now moved by others.
But Qin Shu didn't think this was a bad thing, so she let her emotions run wild and took the initiative to contact Xu Wen.
"I was just about to contact you." Who would have thought that this was the first sentence Xu Wen said after he answered the phone.
"Have you decided what kind of Heroic Spirit you want to recruit?"
"Yes, we're hoping to recruit a Heroic Spirit who's knowledgeable in planting, as we're planning to open an experimental planting base on a highly radioactive, desolate planet. We've already prepared a complete process for breeding, planting, and cultivating seeds, but we're looking for some different perspectives and opinions."
"Okay, before that, I have a request."
"It's about the sports meet, right?" Before Qin Shu could even begin, Xu Wen took the initiative to speak. "I just ran into Mr. Wu and Mr. Xu in the elevator and talked to them for a while."
Qin Shu was stunned when she heard this. She didn't expect it to be such a coincidence. However, this saved her from having to waste words. She immediately nodded affirmatively: "Yes."
"I've already reported this to the higher-ups, and they've said—these achievement points are earned by you, so you can spend them on whatever you want."
For some reason, this feeling of being accepted and respected made Qin Shu feel warm in her heart.
"Then I'll go to the Senior Heroic Spirit Library to recruit."
"Oh, I forgot to ask before, how many achievement points does the Advanced Heroic Spirit Library cost?"
"Ten thousand achievements are worth one time."
"Once?" Xu Wen remembered that he seemed to have stayed in reality for a day before.
"The heroes in the advanced hero library decide when they will return. They may stay for many days, or just a few minutes." Qin Shu also knew that this uncertainty was too great. The only way was to work hard to earn achievement points and improve her level to increase her dominance.
"Okay, I understand." Xu Wen accepted it well. "Zhou Yin and I will be here soon."
"good."
After Qin Shu agreed, she immediately went to the high-level heroic spirit library to post the recruitment requirements. She originally thought that she would have to wait for a while. After all, high-level heroic spirits should be very impressive and would not appear casually.
Unexpectedly, she had just made the request when two Heroic Spirits immediately accepted it. And these two were——
The boss among bosses.
…
So, when Xu Wen and Zhou Yin came to Qin Shu, they saw two men with strong aura sitting on the sofa.
One was dressed in black, stern and with a sharp gaze that made people subconsciously afraid to look at him any longer, while the other was wearing a snow-white flowing ancient costume. Upon closer inspection, the pattern on the clothes seemed to be somewhat similar to that of Qingxuzi before, but more exquisite and complex, and the whole person's temperament was more extraordinary.
"Who are these two?" Xu Wen and Zhou Yin were stunned.
Qin Shu was about to introduce herself when the man in white smiled and took the initiative to greet Xu Wenzhouyin. "Excuse me, I've come from afar, so I should introduce myself. I'm also from the Dongyi Sect and am Qingxuzi's master, Yunshangjun. I was taken care of by you last time. Although he has the cultivation level of a Jindan cultivator, he has been plagued by inner demons that have prevented him from successfully forming a core. I've tried countless ways to help him overcome these demons, but none have been able to help him successfully form a core shortly after returning from here. This is a great favor to me, so when I saw that Qin Shu needed the help of a heroic spirit, I took the initiative to take over the order."
After hearing this, Xu Wen's doubts were finally resolved. After all, when Qingxuzi first introduced himself, he said that he was a Jindan cultivator, but when he gave the achievement points at the end, he said that he had broken through to the Jindan level. This was a bit contradictory. Xu Wen thought that Qingxuzi had lied about his cultivation level.
Qin Shu had no idea what Xu Wen was thinking. She simply nodded in agreement after Yun Shangjun finished speaking. "Yes, Yun Shangjun is proficient in the cultivation and growth of various spiritual plants. He came here because he was also interested in the improved Marrow Cleansing Pill. He might be able to help with the food problem in the radiation zone."
"Then this one..." After Xu Wen politely greeted Yun Shangjun, his eyes fell on the imposing man in black.
Qin Shu also subconsciously glanced at him, then solemnly introduced him, "This is Lu Zhidao, Judge Lu of the Inspection Department."
At this moment, Xu Wen and Zhou Yin were both stunned.
Judge, judge!?
Is this the judge they were thinking of?
Also, is the Judge also considered a heroic spirit?
It was the first time for Xu Wen and Zhou Yin to deal with such a person, and they didn't know what etiquette to follow. However, Judge Lu stood up and took the initiative to shake hands with them.
