Time flies, and the training period was short, but it was truly beneficial for everyone on the team.
Chu Xingyue's shocks to them came one after another. Fearing that they would be overwhelmed by too much information, Chu Xingyue only addressed the different ways to deal with the opponent if they selected several super-strong combatants.
On a hot summer day, the entrance to the Kyoto International Convention Center was already lined with banners, all of them posters from the various teams participating in the competition.
There was a steady stream of people at the entrance, men and women, mostly young people, and some children with innocent faces accompanied by their parents. There were also spontaneously organized support groups at the entrance.
Among the group of people, there was a smaller group who looked to be quite old.
This group of people are members of the Chu family who were invited to watch the competition. Apart from a few people with special status, almost everyone in the Chu family who could attend today came.
Even Gu Si and his sister-in-law Fang Qiong came. Gu Yanting and Xia Lin are not allowed to leave the residence at will, so the two sisters-in-law brought Old Master Gu along.
The staff at the entrance had already been instructed that a group of elderly people would be visiting today, and that arrangements had been made for the interior, so they must make sure to take good care of them.
The State General Administration of Sport attaches great importance to this international e-sports competition. There are volunteers available to answer questions at any time, as well as armed police on site to maintain order. There are also many security personnel inside the venue. Just by looking at their muscular physiques, you know they are not to be trifled with. Even people who are easily agitated will control their emotions when they see these people.
"Are you here to watch the game too, grandpas and grandmas?" Several elderly members of the Chu family asked timidly when they saw the little girl clutching her support items.
"Yes." Everyone nodded.
The timid little girl laughed happily upon hearing this, sharing everything she had with everyone. She even taught everyone to stick the smaller ones on their faces and the slightly larger ones on their short sleeves. She also waved to a few girls who were in charge of distributing support items, and everyone's hands were stuffed with two light sticks.
"Let's cheer for our country together later!" The little girl clapped her light stick loudly.
"Okay, let's cheer each other on later."
Everyone watched the girls walk away with kindness.
The receptionist led everyone to the inner area, where they were seated in prime locations in the first and second rows.
The prime seats inside the venue, which are not open to the public, were occupied by a group of elderly men and women who were fully equipped with all kinds of support items. They were all friendly and kind, and there were men, women and a few relatively young boys. Everyone couldn't help but wonder about their identities.
When Grandpa Gu sat down with his eldest daughter-in-law and daughter, he was quite surprised to find that it was his in-law Chu Bing, along with his in-laws' younger brother and his wife. Everyone else from the Chu family was also there.
The entire Chu family has come out. The youngest son insisted on coming to watch the game, and Gu Yanci used the same rhetoric as Chu Xingyue, Chu Qian, and Su Jin, which made Old Man Gu clamor to come as well. Now, they've all been arranged to stay inside the stadium.
The younger generation in the family greeted Old Man Gu, and Gu Si, who had returned the night before, also went home to visit his parents-in-law.
When Old Man Gu saw that everyone in the Chu family was covered in festive stickers, he told his daughter to get some for herself too, otherwise it would be strange if everyone else had some but she didn't.
Now, the Chu family is most looking forward to the appearance of their precious An'an.
The poster for the Emperor team only showed a silhouette of Chu Xingyue, leaving everyone with endless speculation.
The member's participation wasn't mentioned in the initial promotions, leading everyone to speculate whether this was a publicity stunt by Emperor Esports. Even some of the most likely foreign teams to be their rivals wondered if it was a publicity stunt by Emperor Esports to make them think that a mysterious figure had joined them.
So this competition, just because of the poster with the silhouette of a person that can't be seen, has given everyone endless speculation.
The air conditioning in the stadium was very strong, there were small gifts at each seat, and the seats were quite spacious. In short, the stadium would ensure that no one would feel uncomfortable.
Behind the teams' match areas, there are several large screens so that the spectators can have a clear view of the game.
The large screen they were watching on was a military-grade high-definition display screen that Gu Yanci had transferred from his research institute. He had even consulted his superiors beforehand, and they approved it without hesitation.
The first match was between Jade Kingdom and Italy, and the audience rationally analyzed the details of the match between each character in the game.
This competition adopted a live draw format, meaning that no one knew who their opponent would be beforehand; all opponents were drawn on the spot.
As luck would have it, when Xiao Rizi went on stage, their captain drew the Emperor team, and the whole place fell silent.
Even some young children had their mouths covered by their parents, for fear of making any unpleasant noises.
The guys were a bit arrogant at heart, looking down on the Chinese. When they saw the members of the Quiet Team in the stands exchanging glances, the disdain in their eyes was practically radiating outwards.
When Geely, who was waiting in the waiting area, heard that he had been drawn by Xiao Ri in the arena, his face lit up with surprise. Was this arranged by the ancestors? What a coincidence!
Chu Xingyue, wearing a baseball cap, followed the others onto the stage.
The hearts of all the Chinese people in the stands were in their throats when they saw that the substitute for K1 was a girl.
Judging from her figure, she's a girl.
Until the two teams greeted each other and took their seats, there were no unusual sounds coming from the arena.
The members of the Chu family gripped their cheering sticks tightly on their laps, all sitting up straight and chests puffed out, their eyes glued to the Emperor Hao team on stage.
The host introduced the members of the two teams, but when it came to Chu Xingyue, he only mentioned her briefly and did not give a detailed introduction, which disappointed everyone present who had high expectations for Chu Xingyue.
This group did not include Xiao Rizi's team: in just two short sentences, it seemed there was nothing worth mentioning, and it seemed they were destined to win this match.
Chu Xingyue correctly predicted all the characters chosen by the opening act, causing everyone to suppress their excitement and begin choosing characters they already had a counter for.
Everyone present noticed that although the former captain and current team leader K1 was wearing headphones, he hadn't spoken. Instead, it was the girl named Chu Xingyue, whom everyone had been disappointed to hear, who spoke.
From inside the arena, you can clearly see the players from the two teams competing on stage.
Chu Lezhi, sitting on the side, overheard the two girls next to him whispering.
"Did you notice that the one controlling the entire scene at the Emperor Hotel is Chu Xingyue, the girl who replaced K1?"
"I only noticed how beautiful the lower half of her face was."
"You noticed too? I thought I was the only one who noticed."
"I feel like this girl will surprise me."
The hushed discussions continued, but some less pleasant comments were immediately silenced by those nearby.
