Chapter 799: Strange Waiter (Part 1)
Ruan Qi was unaware of what was happening in the next room. Xixi, Hema, and Molan did know about it, but they all chose to keep it a secret, not wanting to affect Ruan Qi's performance.
Over the next few days, the other teams participating in the World Championship arrived at the hotel one after another. Although myq had never participated in the World Championship, he had met these teams in other competitions and had some friendships with them.
Everyone exchanged friendly greetings in the hotel. After the greetings were over, Ruan Qi led his teammates back to their floor.
"Huh? That's strange." Liu Wanwan suddenly asked in surprise, "Have you noticed that there are so many more security personnel and waiters in the hotel? Are the security measures in this hotel so thorough?"
After being reminded by Liu Wanwan, the others also noticed something was wrong.
This hotel really has too many security personnel. There are seven or eight security guards patrolling each floor, and the security guards at the hotel entrance are standing in a long line.
Although having so many security guards makes guests feel safe, it is indeed a bit strange.
Qian Duo: "Could it be that the Rongyao Alliance organizers deliberately arranged this? Are they worried that we contestants will be in danger?"
"Emm..." Liu Wanwan still had some doubts. "But I've participated in competitions before, and I've never seen any organizers so nervous about us contestants."
"Hey, why think so much?" Qian Duo waved his hand nonchalantly. "It has nothing to do with us anyway. Just focus on the competition. By the way, Thor," Qian Duo looked at Lei Yao who was walking at the back, "Did you go out in the middle of the night? I was half asleep and I thought I heard the door of your room open."
Lei Yao paused when his name was called, and his expression froze for a moment.
"I didn't go out, you heard it wrong."
"Ah...really?" Qian Duo scratched his head uncertainly. "Maybe I heard it wrong. I was telling you, why are you running around outside in the middle of the night instead of sleeping properly?"
Lei Yao looked away and uttered a low "hmm".
Ruan Qi, who was walking in front, couldn't help but frown.
Just now she had been paying close attention to Lei Yao, and Lei Yao's condition seemed to be not right.
Or rather, he had been feeling a little down since he started going abroad, as if he was hiding something in his heart.
Ruan Qi initially assumed Lei Yao had personal matters to attend to, so she didn't ask any further questions. But if he continued to be so absent-minded, his performance in the global competition would easily be affected.
Ruan Qi thought about it and decided to find time to talk to Lei Yao tonight.
…
But changes always happen faster than planned.
That evening, just after everyone finished dinner, they were blocked by a group of people at the entrance of the hotel restaurant.
"Hey, Chinese." A young Western man, speaking in a nondescript Chinese accent, winked at Ruan Qi and said hello, "You're from China, right? That backward Eastern country?"
Racial discrimination is always present.
The faces of everyone in the myq team turned cold.
Liu Nanfeng, who had the hottest temper, immediately retorted in a cold voice, "Whether China is backward or not is known to the whole world. But your vision and knowledge are even more backward than those of the natives hundreds of years ago. In this internet age, you can still ask such a stupid question. Do you have no money for internet access?"
Qian Duo and the others cooperated very well and laughed mockingly.
The Western man didn't expect Liu Nanfeng to be so sharp-tongued. He immediately became furious: "Damn yellow man, how dare you talk to me like that!"
Liu Nanfeng: "The one who teases first is the slut!"
"you--!"
The Western man was furious and impulsively raised his fist to attack.
Liu Nanfeng was not willing to be outdone, so he rolled up his sleeves and prepared to fight him.
But before he could do anything, Ruan Qi grabbed the back of his collar and pulled him back.
"No fighting during the competition, have you forgotten?"
Liu Nanfeng's impulsive mind suddenly came to his senses.
Suddenly, he broke out in a cold sweat.
Luckily, Ruan Qi pulled him back in time. This hotel was filled with Rongyao Alliance contestants. If someone had filmed his fight, he would have been disqualified.
Liu Nanfeng's face turned pale with fright when he thought that he was almost disqualified from the competition.
Ruan Qi glanced at him, then turned to look at the Western man who was causing trouble.
She stared at the man for two seconds, then slowly spoke, "You're a substitute for Team Orlan from Country D. You guys," she pointed at the group standing behind the man, "are regular players of Team Orlan. Am I right?"
The expressions of the group of people and the Western man suddenly changed.
Obviously, Ruan Qi was right.
Country D is a small country, and this is the first time that Team Orlan has entered the global competition. This team is a new team, and Liu Nanfeng and the others have never seen these people before, so naturally they don't recognize their identities.
But Ruan Qi is different.
Before coming to Country Y, she had memorized the information and photos of the contestants and substitutes of the sixteen teams, so she recognized the identity of the Orlan team so quickly.
Ruan Qi stood in front of Liu Nanfeng, his clear eyes falling on the members of the Orlan team.
"Let the substitutes provoke us, stir up my teammate's anger, and induce him to fight. Someone should be recording it, right? If my teammate really starts fighting, you will send the video to the judges. By then, my teammate will be disqualified from the competition, and you will only lose a substitute. You guys, this is a very good plan. Even my grandmother in China can hear it."
Ruan Qi spoke this in English, and the people from the Orlan team heard it clearly.
They didn't expect Ruan Qi to guess their plan. They were shocked and felt guilty.
The captain of the Orlan team retorted fiercely, "You Chinese contestant, you are slandering us. I demand an apology from our Orlan team, or I will have my lawyer sue you!"
"Then sue them." Ruan Qi wasn't one to be intimidated. She pointed at one of the Orlan team members, raised an eyebrow, and said, "But before you sue, player, please take out the phone in your pocket that's recording the video. Yes, I'm talking about you. Don't hide it, I can see your phone camera."
The Orlan team member whose name was called quickly tried to hide his phone.
But someone was faster than him.
A waiter guarding the door of the hotel restaurant suddenly rushed over like the wind, grabbed the team member's arm, and snatched the phone from his hand.
Everyone was startled by the sudden appearance of the waiter.
Even Ruan Qi didn't react and just stared at him blankly.
The waiter deftly found the video recorded by the team member, transferred it to his own mobile phone via teleportation, and then put the phone back into the team member's pocket.
