"Why are you laughing so happily now? I know you're happy, but don't be happy yet. Look at the expressions of those nine people from Country Y behind us, and you'll know what happiness looks like!"
Yu Qi felt her face hurt from laughing so much, so she raised her hand and tapped his shoulder. She usually didn't laugh unless she couldn't help it.
Sure enough, when everyone turned around, they saw that the remaining nine people looked like they had eaten something disgusting, their expressions were extremely ugly.
The situation became difficult to control, and even Leng Ruo, who rarely smiled, now had a slight smile on her lips.
"I suppose everyone knows their opponent, so let's continue."
Time passed second by second, and when Qi Jiu stepped off the stage, she noticed that everyone in her team had a different expression on their face.
Once she was seated, she smiled. "What's with all those expressions?"
It's just drawing lots, is it really that funny?
An Ran pursed her lips and sighed.
"Overall, the results of these rounds of draws have been pretty good, but the final result... seems to have encountered a formidable opponent."
They had heard the vice principal introduce that person on the big screen the day before; even without a separate introduction, this person's name was quite well-known.
Ketan is a legendary figure, not only in his country, but also in the entire studio, there are few who can be considered his match.
"It's alright." The girl raised her eyes nonchalantly. "It's impossible to not lose a single game. We just need to maximize our win rate."
Life isn't all about winning and never losing; even she couldn't achieve that 100% of the time.
"As everyone already knows the result, please discuss yourselves and let our competition begin."
For this competition, the University of Erlin gave up many of its lecture halls.
"Regarding the match against Country Y, I've looked at the information on these people from Country Y. They're not weak, but they're not exceptionally strong either. There should have been a friendly match before. What do you guys think..."
The girl glanced at the four people in front of her and pursed her lips.
"I'll do it." Chang Xiaoyuan said seriously, and no one else could say anything.
Everyone in the studio was discussing countermeasures. Time passed, and Qi Jiu looked at the last piece of paper in her hand and pursed her lips.
"I'll go for this last one."
With so many teams and so many countries, although only four matches are being played simultaneously, each match lasts only an hour. Looking at the schedule, two matches can be completed in half a day.
So this progress isn't too slow.
Once everyone had finished discussing, the competition officially began.
Putting down the controller, Qi Jiu headed straight for her arena, as did the others around her. Although they were far away in a foreign land, they were all fighting for their country.
Qi Jiu arrived at the competition's lecture hall. After reviewing the materials in her hand, she discovered that most of the seats in the lecture hall were already occupied, and some people were even going inside.
Looking at the endless stream of people at the entrance, he tilted his head in disbelief. Among these people were certainly participants in the competition, but judging by the sheer number, there must be quite a few spectators as well.
At the same time, I also saw Yu Qi sitting with the vice principal.
Amidst the tension and a hint of excitement, Yu Qi clearly wanted to cheer her on, but because of the people around her, she could only hold back.
What do you call this: weak and helpless?
The girl wondered if it was just her imagination, but she felt that there were an unusually large number of people watching this match. Could it be that Erlin University was not having classes these days?
That shouldn't be the case.
The remaining contestants looked at their somewhat empty lecture hall and fell into deep thought: "..."
Meanwhile, her opponent was already ready. Looking at his watch and seeing that there was still some time left, he slid his chair toward Qi Jiu.
"You... are Qi Jiu?"
Looking up, I saw a fair-skinned boy with slightly wavy golden hair, deep and sculpted features, and a mischievous smile on his lips.
Although he wasn't as handsome as Qi Silin, he was still the kind of campus heartthrob, and must be quite famous at his school. The girl had met him during the introduction the day before.
She hummed in agreement and was about to look down at what she was holding when the person opposite her spoke again.
"My name is Ketan, you don't need to introduce me, I know him. I just want to ask what the recruitment requirements are for Xingyue? Can I go now? I have a resume, would you like to take a look?"
Qi Jiu was taken aback upon hearing this.
"You want to go to Xingyue?" It seems quite normal for someone with such talent to enter an international group right after graduation, but climbing up the ranks is no small matter.
Besides, isn't this a competition? When did it turn into a job fair?
Ketan nodded. "Yes, I wanted to go to Starmoon as soon as it came out."
As soon as she finished speaking, a glint of light flashed in Qi Jiu's eyes. "Why do you want to go to Xingyue? Luofeng is also going alongside it. Why don't you want to go to Luofeng?"
She really wanted to know the answer to this question; it would be so interesting to tell Qi Silin about it!
Ketan was taken aback, seemingly not expecting her to ask such a question. He smiled, his expression becoming more serious.
"Because Xingyue's momentum is very strong, although Luofeng and Xingyue can now be considered equals, it has to be said that Luofeng's preparation time is much longer than Xingyue's. At first, I thought that Xingyue would not be able to prepare in such a short time and would go bankrupt in the future, but I didn't expect..."
His face was full of longing. "I was curious about what kind of person Xingyue's boss was before, that he could build such a group. Then the news came out, and now I just happened to see you. How could I let such an opportunity pass by?"
Hearing this, Qi Jiu finally understood.
He put down the documents in his hand and looked at the person in front of him with a more serious expression.
"First of all, in principle, Xingyue only accepts graduates. Even if you are graduating right now, you can't do it until you have your graduation certificate."
Secondly, everyone who joins Xingyue has to start from a branch. I don't know if you can handle your arrogance and the pressure.
Third, if you beat me in this match, I can disregard the first point. I can make an exception for you.
Keltan was taken aback for a moment, then a smile spread across his face. "I'll try my best! But... if you lose, won't it look bad?"
Upon hearing this, Qi Jiu immediately laughed. "You'll have to prove yourself first."
It's not enough to just talk about beating her.
After the two exchanged a few words, the competition officially began, starting with one question per person and then moving to a buzzer-beater format.
