Chapter 218
After each game, there will be a special period of rest and recuperation for the players.
It was not until the eight school teams were called to the assembly center again and waited in the assembly hall for the draw of the second round of competition venues that they would know the next round of competition system and the corresponding competition platform and begin to prepare for entering the battlefield again.
Jiang Yunu found that the attention she received had increased significantly.
Before the first match, Jiang Yunu was still just a small-time player from Golden Uriel Academy. Not only herself, but her entire Golden Uriel team wasn't taken seriously by the other teams in the league. The only ones who actively greeted them were their two "friendly schools" in the second-largest district, and their "friendly neighbors" who shared the same dormitory building.
There is some overlap between “friendly neighbors” and “friendly schools”.
But after the first game, things clearly changed.
The number of captains and vice-captains from other schools who would proactively greet Sorok increased;
When Jiang Yunu walked into the public area of any central platform building, she received more attention;
Even ordinary students of the Golden Uriel team, including Pei Ya and three other students on the team, have received more attention in public areas.
"...Was that someone from Kant College just now?" Pei Ya was holding two drinks in her hands. She walked back to the small table that Jiang Yunu had already occupied. Jiang Yunu had already brought their plates. When he saw her come back, he quickly took a cup from her.
"Thank you." Jiang Yunu said politely.
"It would seem strange if you said thank you to me," Pei Ya said, glancing at the drink machine where she had just been standing.
Jiang Yunu followed Pei Ya's gaze and looked over there - there was a dining table next to the drink machine, with three students in school uniforms sitting on it.
That is indeed the uniform of Canter College.
The students from Kant College had just pulled Pei Ya over to get a drink and started a few words. They enthusiastically introduced the rows of beverage machines, specifically explaining which two machines produced the most delicious and tasty drinks. Their enthusiasm left Pei Ya baffled and surprised.
Jiang Yunu looked over there, and there was someone looking at their small dining table. When their eyes met, the other person raised the cup in his hand, politely gestured to Jiang Yunu from a distance, and smiled.
Jiang Yunu also smiled at the other party.
After greeting her from a distance, she looked back at Pei Ya.
Pei Ya was looking at her.
"I see." Pei Ya said in a clear voice, "They're not coming for me, they're coming for you."
There are too many people who want to find out Jiang Yunu's personal information.
To use an inappropriate analogy - Jiang Yunu is like Sun Wukong who suddenly appeared out of nowhere, jumping out of a stone. She is disorganized from the moment she appears, and does not abide by any of the "unwritten rules" that have long been adhered to in the upper three districts' senior league. However, she happens to be quite powerful, able to stir up trouble in the territory of a strong school, and she does not seem to be afraid of retaliation at all.
He has no background, his upper limit of strength is unknown, and his battlefield behavior patterns are unknown.
Such an opponent would be enough to cause headaches for any team.
"The most terrifying thing is that Captain Suo has no idea how to restrain me." Jiang Yunu made a brief summary.
If she had joined a different school team, where the leaders wouldn't be as good-tempered or indulgent as Sorok, Jiang Yunu's "follow your heart, follow your heart" approach would likely have been met with repression from the captain on her first day elsewhere.
The Golden Urie school team's "free-range policy" towards her was just right, making her behavior more unpredictable on the court.
——Where did the Golden Uriel Academy dig her out from?
The answer, of course, is that the school didn't put much effort into recruiting her. She applied for admission herself and was admitted as an ordinary freshman.
On the night after the first game, students with more accessible information channels were already trying to find out about her. Out of inertia, everyone would have started searching from the junior high schools in the upper three districts, wanting to see Jiang Yunu's junior high school resume. However, after searching through the entire junior high schools in the upper three districts, the name "Jiang Yunu" was like a pebble thrown into the sea.
No news.
"They can't find you through traditional information channels," Pei Ya analyzed objectively. "So they can only do a field investigation, taking turns to contact you in person, including those around you."
Jiang Yunu said outwardly, "I welcome them all to come and talk to me. As long as they don't come up to me and speak in a sarcastic tone or issue a fierce challenge, I'm a very easy person to get along with."
Jiang Yunu, who is very easy to get along with, met Duma students two or three times in public areas.
The elites of Duma were all very aloof and unwilling to talk to her at all, but they would glance at her out of the corner of their eyes, obviously still upset about her "robbery" in the first round of the competition.
Instead, it was the people from Diyao College who had a conversation with Jiang Yunu.
"You are Jiang Yunu." The captain of Di Yao is a fourth-grade female student. Her eyes fell on Jiang Yunu. She looked very calm and mature beyond her peers.
But Jiang Yunu could feel that the other party was very curious about her.
She responded gracefully: "I am."
"You're very impressive," said the captain of Diyao. It was hard to tell if there was a hint of praise in her tone. "When Duma attacked our border, you took the opportunity to attack their rear. It was bold, but you remained safe and sound until the end of the game, which shows that you are very capable."
Jiang Yunu used to think that Diyao Academy was also a school that only looked up and could not see students other than the "TOP2". But after hearing what the captain of Diyao said, she felt that she had been a bit narrow-minded before.
"No," Jiang Yunu said modestly, "I just happened to have a little courage, and I just happened not to be caught by the Duma contestants."
The captain of Diyao shook his head: "I saw Shen Yijing go to your side at least twice. This is not the level that can be explained by 'just happening'."
Diyao is also an elitist college, but compared to Duma's individual elitism, Diyao emphasizes collective elitism more.
Captain Diyao said sincerely, "If you had applied for Diyao, you would have a stronger team."
Jiang Yunu felt she had heard a subtle hint of solicitation. She didn't know if transfers between high-level supernatural schools were possible, and of course, the captain of Diyao might just be engaging in ordinary "team diplomacy," offering polite and pleasant words.
Jiang Yunu said, "It's great to be able to stand in the opponent's shoes and see what a strong school is like."
She complimented Diyao Academy just right, and fearing that she might not seem sincere enough, she simply made a heart shape with her hands towards the captain of Diyao.
"Thank you for your recognition." Jiang Yunu said with a smile, making a heart shape with his hands. "My current team is also very good. It suits me very well."
Jiang Yunu had something else to do. She had agreed with Pei Ya before the first match that after the match, they would take time to make a homemade midnight snack in the apartment building's kitchen. Tonight was the agreed date, and seniors Jin Qing and Wulaina had already prepared the ingredients in the apartment.
She said hello to the captain of Diyao and left first, leaving the captain of Diyao confused for a moment by her heart gesture. After a while, he said, "What a lively opponent... Was that just the daily greeting etiquette of District 7?"
Jiang Yunu returned to the apartment and fulfilled his promise by cooking a midnight snack in front of his relatives and friends.
The simple midnight snack was served steaming hot and received unanimous praise from everyone who was lucky enough to try it.
"This tastes so delightful!" Senior Wulaina praised it generously. "It's a little different than the food served by the robots in the cafeteria."
Jiang Yunu said seriously, "Yes, because it is handmade, it contains my love for my team."
There was a light and cheerful air flowing through the two floors belonging to the Golden Uriel Academy.
The next day, the contestants were summoned to the assembly center.
But today's meeting is not to select the format and stage for the second game, but to announce another important news.
——The Trial Tower is open.
"Whether you were pleased with your results in the first match or aspire to continue improving and climbing higher, that's all in the past. You must keep looking forward," said the tournament committee representative and host. "We've gathered all of you here today to announce—the Trial Tower is officially open to all!"
"From the moment you step out of this assembly hall, you can freely go to the suspended platform where the Trial Tower is located. The door to the Trial Tower is open to you 24 hours a day!"
Trial Tower.
As soon as Jiang Yunu arrived at the league base, he noticed the floating platform with a seven-story tower-shaped building.
She was very interested in it and was eager to try out the levels with the changing mechanisms that had been introduced in it.
After the host announced the adjournment of the meeting, even before leaving the assembly hall, people could hear discussions about the Trial Tower everywhere.
"Are you interested?" Sorok and Jiang Yunu walked side by side. He could already see that the expression on the white-haired girl's face was saying "I want to go!"
Jiang Yunu gave the captain a smile that showed everything on his face: "Does this question really need to be asked again?"
Sorok had already begun to think: "The instructions don't specify whether the Trial Tower must be entered alone or in a group. Perhaps both are possible? If you want to go and take a look, we can put together a group for you."
The worried captain has already started to think about who in the team might be interested in this and wants to put together a team for them to travel together.
Jiang Yunu didn't care whether he went alone or in a group: "If everyone has other plans, I can go and take a look by myself."
——She didn't expect that she had set a "prophecy" for herself.
It’s not that no one is willing to go with her, but she has her own reasons for having to go alone.
Later that day, Jiang Yunu received an inter-district call from the seventh district.
