Chapter 51: Promoted to King Rank
Shi Changqing touched his nose and thought it was really advanced.
When she entered the door, she saw a robot standing inside the door waiting for her with a pair of shoes.
"Young Master, please change your shoes."
Shi Changqing: “.”
She lowered her head and changed her shoes silently, and the robot unloaded her luggage and took it to a room upstairs.
Shi Changqing looked up and saw that this must be her future room.
After changing his shoes, Shi Changqing adapted to this unfamiliar environment quickly.
She walked around every area of the villa and made sure she was the only one at home.
Shi Changqing sent a message to her younger brother. Logically, the school should be on vacation now, but he is even later than her?
Shi Changqing: [Where are you?]
As a result, this guy didn't reply to her for an hour.
This family is weird, and they don't seem to like replying to messages.
However, it was not until midnight that Shi Xinyu replied to the message.
[I'm working part-time and won't be going home this month.]
Shi Changqing saw this news when he woke up in the morning and was slightly surprised. Weren’t Shi Yunsheng and Ye Weilan’s identities exposed?
Why does he have to work part-time?
So I replied: [Hasn't our family situation improved? Do we still need a part-time job?]
The other party didn't reply for a long time.
Shi Changqing quickly put the matter behind him, lay at home for a few days, played around for a few days, and then went out to stroll around this famous capital star.
But when she went out, there was a little tail following her.
"Gail, you don't have to follow me today." Shi Changqing spoke to the robot butler following behind her before going out.
This middle-aged female housekeeper bionic robot is indeed lifelike, with neatly tied hair and very elegant clothes, a white shirt and a black suit, looking very elegant.
It said calmly, "Sorry, this is my duty."
“.”
Shi Changqing walked around behind him, turned around, touched his chin and looked him up and down: "Where are your program settings? Who gave you the instructions? Let me see if I can change it."
As she spoke, she tried to take the robot apart.
In fact, needless to say, you can tell it was Ye Weilan's instruction. She knows too well what kind of person her daughter is.
People who are away from home for several days will definitely be worried about Changqing running around on a strange planet.
Shi Changqing was already very sensitive to the possibility of someone following her, not to mention that there was a suspected surveillance device next to her, which made it very inconvenient for her to do things.
She is going to the underground boxing ring during this winter vacation.
Gale sensed danger, but couldn't attack his master, so he took two steps back and simply took a defensive stance.
It scanned Shi Changqing's body and judged that a weak man like him could not cause any harm.
So when Shi Changqing stretched out his hand, it did not dodge, and the next second, it regretted its decision.
"drop--"
Before the alarm sounded completely, black smoke was already coming out of the machine.
Shi Changqing dragged him to a corner, clapped his hands, and imitated its tone: "Oh, my dear Gale, I'm sorry, I was a little too rough. After the winter vacation is over, I will ask Ms. Ye Weilan to fix it for you."
She closed the door and walked out of the villa.
After a few days of shopping, she gave the evaluation that it was worthy of being the Capital Star.
The technology and prosperity are better than Four Seasons Star.
After resting for a few days, Shi Changqing found the center of the boxing ring through the optical brain contact and asked for the address of the boxing ring on the capital star.
The other party replied almost instantly and sent an address.
Shancai Tongzi: [No. 1863, Qingshi Road, Xingtianhui District, Capital City.]
Then the other party sent another message.
Shancai Tongzi: [Why did you change places again?]
Shi Changqing looked at the second question sent by the other party and her heart moved slightly. She had contacted the middleman no more than twenty times. Every time she contacted the other party, it was to sign up for a series of competitions. The other party always replied with "OK" and never asked any more questions.
This time, he actually asked about her itinerary for the first time.
Shi Changqing didn't say much, just replied, "Sign me up for the league, 200 games ten times."
She still needs 300,000 points to be promoted to the King rank.
Although she would go boxing every weekend during the two months at school, she didn't do it as hard as she did at the beginning. After all, winter vacation was coming and she had plenty of time.
Shancai Tongzi: [Ten times in a row? ? ?]
Elena in front of the screen was shocked.
Ten times, that’s two thousand games.
She even doubted whether it was a human being. Even if it was a robot, it would be smoking.
Shi Changqing looked at the message sent by the other party with some helplessness: [Once a day, for ten consecutive days.]
It just so happened that she also started school.
I feel a little tired after playing all day long.
Shancai Tongzi: [Oh, I've booked you for the first show tonight. Are you free?]
Shi Changqing: [I’m free.]
Shancai Tongzi: [Okay, I've signed you up for the popular prime time show at 9pm.]
The two sides reached an agreement.
Shi Changqing looked at the time and saw that there were still five hours left, so he put away his laptop and prepared to go to the kitchen to make something to eat.
Normally, the housekeeper prepared food for her, but since the housekeeper became disabled, she had to cook for herself.
Eight o'clock in the evening.
Shi Changqing went out and arrived at No. 1863 Qingshi Road, Tianhui District according to the address.
Looking at the small shop in front of him, Shi Changqing looked up at the house number marked on it, then looked left and right at the surrounding tall buildings, and then looked down at the address sent by the middleman.
That's right.
She was silent for a moment. It must be said that this Black Hole Company is still pretending as always.
Shi Changqing stepped into the store, and the glass door automatically opened to both sides.
"Welcome."
Along with the sound of the mechanical prompt, a scrutinizing gaze followed.
Shi Changqing looked over and was surprised to find that the cashier was an old acquaintance.
It's Sylvia again.
She even suspected that a middleman had revealed her whereabouts, or that there were only a few people in such a large boxing ring company.
Why does she always run into the other party every time she changes her position?
Shi Changqing walked up with an expressionless face, and the other party seemed to be waiting for her to give a secret signal.
That's the rule. The door can only be opened with a secret code. You can't just rely on familiarity.
"I want to be rich."
After receiving the signal, Sylvia remained the same as always, without any expression on her face. She simply stood up and took her to the row of shelves against the wall.
After pressing the key, a door appeared on the wall the next moment.
"Come in." The first words Sylvia said after entering.
Shi Changqing nodded, took out a black mask and put it on, which made Sylvia hesitate to speak.
It is true that this mask is distributed by the company, but contestants can choose to DIY the mask themselves.
I didn’t expect that she has been using this black mask until now without changing it.
Come underground.
Familiar lights are shining. No matter which station it is, even the most prosperous capital star, the decoration layout below is the same as other underground boxing rings.
This also saved her a lot of time getting familiar with the venue, and she could walk directly to her ring area with ease.
"That number one star in the StarCraft universe has moved to our team?"
"Yes, it says the tournament schedule and the number one spot in StarCraft."
"Who did she play against in the first game? So pitiful. She should have bought a score guarantee card in advance."
"It's me, alas."
"My condolences, brother. The boxing arena even changed the unlimited tournament rules for her. She really did it all by herself. Before, the opponents in the unlimited tournament could only be the players who participated in the tournament, but now the opponents in the tournament are any ordinary players in the selection position."
As soon as Shi Changqing came in, he heard other people talking about him.
That’s right, the rules for consecutive matches have changed.
She is now in the peak rank, and the opponents she meets, except for the players participating in the consecutive matches, are either any player in the peak rank or any player in the king rank.
There is only upward compatibility, no downward compatibility.
In this way, she will no longer face fighters with lower ranks than her, but only those who are getting stronger and stronger in the boxing ring.
But this didn't matter to Shi Changqing. After her strength recovered, she didn't even take this matter to heart.
"Please invite top-tier players [Let's Make Friends] and [StarCraft's No. 1 Berserker Seeking Suppression] to come on stage and fight within ten seconds. If one player does not appear on the S1 stage, they will be deemed to have forfeited, and the other player will win. If neither player appears, both players will be deemed to have forfeited."
There was a countdown on the big screen.
Shi Changqing came on stage, followed by another contestant wearing a bull-head mask.
The countdown ends and the referee blows the whistle.
The two sides had a wave of "friendly" exchanges at the beginning. The opponent rushed forward with his fist raised. Shi Changqing didn't even make any dodging moves. He went straight to the front and met the opponent's fist with the same fist.
With a "bang", the opponent fell to the ground.
She didn't even use any internal force.
When the other party wanted to get up, Shi Changqing quickly stepped forward and stopped him.
Even after the referee's countdown ended, the opponent still did not get up.
No surprise.
"[The Star's No. 1 Berserker Seeks to Be Suppressed] wins!"
The referee announced the result. Chang Qing won the first match easily.
This winning streak lasted for more than a hundred games.
The audience shook their heads: "Oh, boring, nothing to watch."
That’s what they said, but the number of people in the audience only increased and not decreased.
Nothing to watch refers to Shi Changqing's moves.
Shi Changqing's winning streak undoubtedly made everyone want to imitate him. Unfortunately, his opponent had played in so many competitions, and his moves were the most common, but they ended the fastest.
It started simply, with only two moves, not even a hint of skill, just strength.
No one could learn the essence from Shi Changqing's first two moves.
It's not as good as the two fights when Shi Changqing first entered the boxing ring, which are still worth watching.
The reason why everyone stayed there to watch the game was undoubtedly because Shi Changqing played very quickly. In less than an hour, he finished a series of battles.
This speed makes people feel refreshed in a sense.
For ten consecutive days, Shi Changqing appeared in the underground boxing ring on time at 8:30 in the evening. As expected, he successfully advanced to the King level the day before school started.
When she was about to leave, Sylvia stopped her for the first time.
"Wait, Star One."
Shi Changqing: “.” Suddenly I felt that this name was a bit embarrassing.
She paused and turned to look at Sylvia, who was standing next to a strange woman.
Woman wearing a mask.
"What's the matter?" Shi Changqing asked.
VIP room.
"Hello, I'm the Wealth-Sending Boy, your introducer, Elena." Elena extended her right hand towards Shi Changqing as a gesture of friendship.
Shi Changqing lowered his eyes and looked at the other party's outstretched mechanical arm. Except for the right hand, the other three limbs were intact.
In this interstellar age, with advanced technology, many mechanical enthusiasts install mechanical prosthetic limbs even when the overall situation is normal.
This type of prosthetic limb is stronger than the flesh during combat, and if it breaks, it can be removed and repaired before continued use.
Shi Changqing had met many boxers with mechanical prosthetic limbs in the boxing ring, and she was no longer surprised. Even Sylvia's eyes were mechanical prosthetic eyes.
Shi Changqing stretched out his hand and grasped the cold metal.
The other party smiled and said, "Congratulations, you have been promoted to the King rank."
Shi Changqing politely replied, "Thank you."
"After reaching the King rank, all battle wins and losses will no longer deduct points, nor will they be added. However, you will need to compete in the special King promotion tournament every six months. If you fail, you will be relegated to the Peak rank. At that time, you will need two million points to advance."
Such a big show just to tell her this?
But what puzzled her even more was that the purpose of playing games was to make money, so why bother staying in the King rank?
Shi Changqing remained expressionless: "Thank you for letting me know."
Sylvia seemed to guess what Shi Changqing was thinking and said, "Players in the King rank are VIPs of our Black Hole Company and can enjoy all the preferential treatments."
"for example?"
"For example, you can enter and exit all places in the entire galaxy without restrictions." Elena's voice was filled with laughter, and a smile appeared in the corners of her eyes under the mask.
When Shi Changqing heard this, he quickly understood the meaning and sat up straight, "Is that what I thought it meant?"
"Is that what you meant?"
"Of course, the prerequisite is to join us first."
Shi Changqing's straight back relaxed instantly: "."
Boring.
"Oh." Shi Changqing suddenly lost interest.
However, the conditions put forward by the other party are enough to show that the person behind the underground boxing ring is probably a person with all the power.
Or it's a mole.
I guess these people set up this boxing ring to select talents.
It seems that her performance in the past few months has satisfied the people behind her. She just got promoted, and they talked to her so soon.
"We don't do anything illegal," Elena continued.
Shi Changqing: “.” If I believe you, there will be something fishy.
Just when Elena was about to say something, Sylvia interrupted her and reminded her, "Elena, don't scare me, I'm still a child."
He remembered that the other person was just a sixteen-year-old boy.
He just wanted to rub his temples. He had been fooled by Elena, and he thought that Elena came to meet him to talk about StarCraft.
I didn't expect the other party to be so impatient and get straight to the point.
"Actually, we're here just to tell you that due to your outstanding performance, we can make an exception and give you a backdoor. You can still register for the StarCraft tournament."
When he first met Chang Qing, he really didn't expect that this newcomer was so strong and he had achieved the King rank in just half a year.
Not only did he look at her with new eyes, but other colleagues were also shocked.
However, she is not the only one with such extraordinary talent in their boxing ring.
After all, there are three other such players so far, besides Shi Changqing.
He is even more high-profile than her, reaching the King rank in just one month.
Now these three people participate in every StarCraft competition and always take the top three spots.
This year's StarCraft tournament is in six months, so there's still time.
It's time to inject some new blood to make them feel a sense of crisis.
Shi Changqing straightened up again, his eyes lighting up: "Oh?"
"Okay." Shi Changqing nodded seriously.
Elena: “.”
This attitude of agreeing immediately is too obvious.
"Since you agree, I will report your information."
"Okay, thank you. Can I leave now?" She still had to hurry back to pack her luggage.
Sylvia nodded. Elena wanted to say something but Sylvia glanced at her indifferently, and Elena controlled her emotions.
After Shi Changqing left, he spoke with a hint of blame in his tone: "You are too impatient."
"Okay, blame me. I was impatient."
After the conversation just now, Shi Changqing returned home at 11 o'clock in the evening.
The lights in the villa are on.
She remembered turning off the lights before going out.
It was obvious that one of her elders had returned.
Thinking of the scrapped Gail, Shi Changqing felt a little guilty. She opened the door, and Gail appeared in front of her on time like the first day.
"Dear little master, you are back. It is now 11:09 pm. Did you enjoy the nightlife outside?"
