I want to play too!
"What are you playing?! Can't you see your grandma is training? You're too young to play."
"Liar!"
"Really, if you don't believe me, ask your grandma. This game can only be played when you're fifty."
"Yes."
"Did you hear that?!"
"If I'm fifty years old, can I still play every day?"
"certainly!"
Duan Xiulan's grandson, Xiaopang, felt a little resentful, but he always felt that his grandmother would not lie to him, so he could only watch his parents, aunts, uncles and other relatives playing games with his grandmother and her friends.
"Welcome everyone to the Feiyang Entertainment Cup 'The Secret of Penglai Island' eSports event! Today is the county-level qualifying round. Let me introduce the ten teams today! The Blooming Prosperity Team! The Lotus Pond Moonlight Team! The Contentment Team!..."
Each time a team is introduced, its members walk to the center of the stage, and cheers erupt from the audience.
"Mom!! Go for it!!! The Lotus Pond Moonlight is dazzling, the team is amazing from the start!!!"
The scattered voices of middle-aged people mixed with the babyish voices of children cheering instantly ignited the atmosphere. Friends and family members from other teams also started to cheer, but none of them were as effective as the Lotus Pond Moonlight team, which had rehearsed their performance.
"That's my grandma on stage, little sister. Can I hold your hand?"
Duan Xiulan's grandson saw the pretty little girl next to him and began to boast about his grandmother. Unfortunately, his affections were unrequited. The pretty little girl hugged herself tightly and nestled her body between her mother's legs, determined not to give him any chance.
Just as he was feeling a bit down and about to hug his dad and cry, his little sister blurted out, "My grandpa and grandma are the best."
Duan Xiulan's grandson immediately switched sides, "I'm cheering for your grandpa and grandma!"
Duan Xiulan's son couldn't help but slap his son on the back of the head. This kid really doesn't know who he takes after!
"Mom, can they win? I'm a little nervous."
Duan Xiulan's son immediately smiled at his wife, "Don't be nervous, honey. It's okay. You've practiced so many times at home, you'll definitely win. Are you thirsty? Have a sip. I just bought your favorite taro bubble tea, 70% sugar, with pearls."
As the match began, both the Lotus Pond Moonlight and Contentment teams developed rapidly, but there weren't many resources on the map, meaning they would soon be entering the battle phase.
"You flank us from behind. We can hold them off."
"Quick, quick, quick!! I see them!!"
After the whale skeleton map resource for "The Secret of Penglai Island" was exhausted, the minimap began to shrink, and the two sides inevitably started to encounter each other, leading to a tense standoff.
The characters from the Poison Fish Gang and the Coral Squad were locked in a fierce battle. The special effects weren't the vibrant and colorful ones that are popular these days, but rather a cute and heartwarming cartoon style. Some unsuspecting passersby thought they were watching an animated film on stage and stood there with their children to watch. It wasn't until the competition ended that they realized it was actually a game competition. Feeling a little unhappy, they were about to leave with their engrossed children when they discovered that the contestants were all elderly people with white hair.
"What's going on?! Isn't this a game competition?"
"You just arrived? This competition has been going on for three days already. Today is the last match in the county town, and next weekend we'll be playing in the provincial capital. Oh, you're asking about the contestants? Hehe, it seems the production team requires applicants to have an ID card showing they're over 50 years old to register. But I really didn't expect these people to be wearing reading glasses; their methods are quite impressive."
The passerby breathed a sigh of relief; it was a competition for the elderly. He turned to his son, who was watching with great interest, and said, "This competition is for those over fifty. You should focus on your studies now, or you won't even get a chance to play games later. Go back and watch the Coral Team; you'll miss it if you're late."
Just as the child was about to cry, he hurriedly urged, "Hurry home!! The Coral Squad is about to start broadcasting!!"
"If you get a 90 on your next exam, I'll take you to the Coral Squad's island."
"Ah~ Mommy's bad~"
"Your dad said so."
"Daddy's bad, Mommy's good. Mommy, can you take me next time you have a holiday? I want to save the little dolphin Moon, or the poisonous fish gang will capture it!"
Although the battle was intense, the Lotus Pond Moonlight team had both wins and losses that day, but in the end, their points were just enough to secure the last qualifying spot, allowing them to successfully advance.
"Let's give a round of applause to the contestants who brought us such a wonderful competition today. Now, let's introduce the teams representing Tonglu County in this Ontario competition: the Blossoming Fortune Team, the Lotus Pond Moonlight Team, and the Contentment Team. Congratulations to these three teams!"
The three teams on stage were all smiling happily, taking a group photo while holding the eggs in their hands and the heavy rice at their feet.
The eliminated teams were initially unhappy, but after receiving eggs from the organizer, Feiyang Entertainment, at the end of the competition, smiles appeared on their faces. They had come for the eggs, but somehow they got carried away and were unhappy about not advancing. Some of the older teams even almost broke their friendships.
At this moment, all the contestants happily posed for a group photo on stage, each holding an egg. Everyone received a photo of themselves in the group, and they all chuckled and boasted to the people next to them while holding their eggs.
"If my teammates hadn't dragged me down, I would have guaranteed a win in that round."
"You're clearly the biggest coward. You only show up after everyone's been beaten up and disappeared."
"I'm not going to team up with you next time!"
"Hmph, I won't be on your team next time!!"
"Is there one more time?"
"It's obvious you weren't listening to the host properly. This is only the Spring Tournament. After the Autumn Tournament, there's the Winter Tournament, which is the National Tournament. They cover travel, accommodation, and meals. Tsk tsk, I need to start practicing now so I can even compete in the provincial capital."
