Lin Yifeng acted as the translator.
The international friend smiled slightly and replied with great confidence.
"I'm sure I can win this championship."
"Why, you ask!"
"Because I feel like there's no one who can fight!"
After Lin Yifeng translated it, the atmosphere became tense.
Many players even started swearing.
"Damn! What's with that golden retriever barking like that?!"
"What makes him so arrogant! He'd better play a game with me if he dares!"
"He's just talking big!"
Lin Yifeng was very satisfied with the current situation. The appearance of this foreigner directly intensified the players' determination to win the championship.
While Ye Wu was interviewing another middle-aged man.
The man was much more composed, and he asked Ye Wuzheng beside him while smoking a cigarette.
Is smoking prohibited during this match?
Ye Wuzheng was slightly taken aback, then smiled and shook his head.
Suddenly, the middle-aged man broke into a bright smile.
"Isn't that enough?"
"If smoking isn't banned, he'll beat me with his head!"
Upon hearing this, the audience burst into laughter.
"Old Zeng! You can crush him to pieces! I'll buy you Tashan liquor!"
"I'll treat you to a Zhonghua cigarette, Lao Zeng!"
"Quick, quick, who has any good cigarettes? Throw them over to Old Zeng!"
Soon after, the audience began throwing cigarettes at the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man picked up the two bags, smiled, waved to the crowd, and walked into the arcade.
The competition began soon afterward.
As everyone expected, the match was indeed very intense.
In the first two rounds, the middle-aged man playing Chun-Li was eliminated by his opponent, and then the middle-aged man requested the first substitution.
The rules themselves allow players to switch to the same role.
The foreign visitors were somewhat shocked when the man pulled out his penis.
This substitution completely disrupted the foreigner's plans, leading to consecutive mistakes in the next two rounds, which the middle-aged man seized to win back two points.
The two quickly went back and forth, reaching match point at 4-4.
This made the atmosphere on site tense.
Ye Wuzheng also took a couple of sips of iced cola to soothe his slightly sore throat, and continued his passionate commentary with the audience.
"Things are getting complicated now!"
"The deciding set! I think we need to be careful!"
"The foreign player on the right is playing conservatively, focusing on counter-attacks. We can't let him seize the opportunity!"
The game began as soon as the words were spoken.
The middle-aged man made two consecutive mistakes right from the start, losing half of his health.
Conversely, foreign players rely on a defensive, turtling style of play, enduring damage to find opportunities.
Qian Feng looked at the middle-aged man who was at a disadvantage in the crucial game and spoke with concern.
"Stay calm! Stay calm!"
Just when the middle-aged man was about to be cornered, the foreigner suddenly seized the opportunity to unleash a rising dragon, which was interrupted by the man's jumping A.
Ye Wuzheng roared even more excitedly.
"Another Rising Dragon! Another Rising Dragon!"
"I was killed because of Rising Dragon!"
"He still dares to challenge the dragon! He's giving away freebies!"
The foreigner who was caught off guard and launched a counterattack did not panic. When his health dropped to half, he took advantage of the opportunity when the opponent tried to get up and launched another counterattack.
This immediately dampened the enthusiasm of the audience; no one had expected such a situation.
Seeing that they were at a significant disadvantage, the audience couldn't help but shout encouragement.
Cheers resounded throughout the sky.
This shocked many media reporters, who hadn't expected a game to have such magic, driving players to such frenzy.
At this moment, the man seized the opportunity when the foreigner used a heavy kick to test him, dodged with a backflip and switched sides, then landed and followed up with a basic attack.
When foreigners try to seize opportunities with a light punch.
The middle-aged man jumped to A again and gained the initiative once more.
This tactic of jumping back and forth to chip away at the opponent's health also annoyed the foreigners, who were preparing to imitate the middle-aged man's actions.
But just as he jumped up, the middle-aged man swiftly executed a rising dragon punch, followed by a series of powerful attacks upon landing, instantly wiping out the opponent's health bar.
When the "KO" sign appeared on the screen, the audience erupted in cheers.
Ye Wu was gripping the microphone tightly, shouting excitedly at the surrounding audience.
"We are the champions!"
The audience also danced and celebrated joyfully.
Inside, the foreigner could hardly believe what was happening before his eyes, while the middle-aged man took a drag of his cigarette and raised an eyebrow.
"Oh, I'm nothing compared to my son, who's even more talented than me."
Lin Yifeng and Xu Qingyi, who were acting as referees behind the scenes, were somewhat puzzled and asked in a low voice.
"May I ask your surname, sir?"
"I believe Zeng!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yifeng felt a wave of embarrassment.
If you were to ask who is the most famous fighting game player in China, it would undoubtedly be Zeng Zhuojun, the future King of Fighters' protégé.
Judging from his age, could he be the child's father?
That kid who'd get slapped if he lost ten coins playing King of Fighters...
The match ended very quickly in the end.
Even after the competition ended, various media outlets continued to compete to conduct interviews every day.
Many people didn't disperse after the game ended, but instead celebrated with Lao Zeng.
After the first Dragon Cup concluded, its popularity skyrocketed.
This made Longteng Arcade the most popular arcade in Makino City, for no other reason than that it had hosted competitions.
Many customers are still asking when the second competition will be held, as they plan to travel to other places to help promote it and make the competition even bigger and more exciting.
