"Young comrade, don't look so gloomy. We just haven't gotten together like this in a long time, and we wanted to chat a bit more. We won't blame you for losing, and besides, we won, didn't we?"
"Our squad leader is still as good as ever! Let's go celebrate and have a drink!"
"Everyone, you can't drink alcohol."
Several elderly people looked at the young coach who was trying to stop him, asking, "Why can't you do it?"
"It's alright, we'll drink the wine infused with medicinal herbs, it's very nourishing."
"That's right, medicinal wine isn't wine."
The young coach was helpless and wanted to continue persuading him, but the veteran sergeant patted him on the shoulder and said, "Young man, let's drink less. We finally made it to the national competition, so let's have some fun. None of us ever thought we'd be able to get together again and fight together in the game. Every drink is one less we can have."
The young coach's heart shattered instantly. He widened his eyes to hold back the tears, and said, "Then drink less."
Okay.
"Let's go! Let's open the barrel of liquor I brewed and drink it."
"Squad leader, do you think that after we win the national competition, we'll go to the world competition to fight the foreign devils?"
"What foreign devils? This is a competition, an international competition. Don't try to stir up trouble like that."
"You're the best at talking, class monitor! International competition!"
"If I win, I'll wear my epaulets when I receive the award, and show them off properly."
The young coach followed behind the five people, watching them walk with difficulty. The elderly man in the middle was in a wheelchair, with nothing below his waist. The elderly man next to him, who was missing two fingers, was limping as he followed the others.
They all had smiles on their faces, full heads of white hair, and were dressed in military green suits.
The national competition was very intense, and the champion and runner-up both advanced to the global competition.
Team 51 was greeted with a huge cheer when the players entered the arena.
Each team walked with difficulty, but no one urged them on. Amidst thunderous applause, the stage was filled with elderly people with gray hair, some even using canes or sitting in wheelchairs. After their performances, they appeared in the center of the stage to draw lots.
The draw for the "Secret of Penglai Island" tournament, which will be broadcast globally, has officially begun.
"Squad leader, go ahead and smoke! We believe in you! We're not afraid of anyone!"
Teams from other countries also drew lots in turn, and the eight teams were finally confirmed.
The members of the Fifty Points team, dressed in faded military uniforms, couldn't help but straighten their chests and brace themselves. Only when the camera inadvertently panned across their trembling hands could one barely discern their inner tension.
[I never expected that I would cry like a baby during the pre-match introductions o(╥﹏╥)o, Director Lin, your knife skills are truly exquisite again...]
I really didn't expect that the teammate in the game who said they didn't have hands was actually telling the truth. I'm so stupid!
[It's unbelievable that they were the ones standing on the front lines decades ago, and they're still here decades later, sob sob ┭┮﹏┭┮, keep it up, Squad 51!! You guys are amazing!!]
[I'm not trying to be mean, but when they stand together, our little old men are shorter than those others, and they're all...]
[I get you, upstairs. It's like I already know how the game will end ┭┮﹏┭┮]
I also feel sorry for these elderly people who have given their all to get this far, only to be eliminated in the end.
[Seriously, guys, are you even capable?! The competition hasn't even started yet, and you're already predicting its failure!!! If you ask me, you're all walking advertisements for 500,000 people!!!]
【What's there to be afraid of?! So what if they're short? I could beat them back then, I can definitely beat them this time!!! If you ask me, we need to show them that your grandpa is your grandpa!!! No one can stop him!!!】
【Agreed!!! I support it too!!!】
[Please support Team Plum Blossom; their journey to the global finals was no easy feat, and they were runners-up in the national finals.]
[Absolutely support! It would be best if it ended up being just the two of our teams in an internal battle!!!]
【No, I think Feiyang Entertainment has a serious problem. Why do they have to organize global sporting events?! It puts so much pressure on these elderly people!!】
[Are there really people who feel sorry for the grandparents who live on pensions and have nothing to do all day?! And they say they're under a lot of pressure? Have some pity on yourselves?! Don't young people have pressure too? Don't middle-aged people with elderly parents and young children have pressure too? Do these elderly people even feel pressured?]
[My elderly relatives have all signed up for the competition. Although they didn't compete outside the county, I have to say their spirits are different from before. I'm very grateful to Feiyang Entertainment. My elderly relatives enjoy playing chess and mahjong, but their partner passed away last year, and their condition seemed a bit off afterward. However, this year, because of the competition, they've met many new friends, and it's like their lives have suddenly become more purposeful. Unlike before, when every time I went back, they always seemed to be quietly waiting to leave.]
[Agreed. My family is pressuring them to get married and have children a lot. Now that there's a competition, every time they start pressuring me, I change the subject and ask them if they've done well in the competition, why they're not as good as other older people, whether they've looked for the problems within themselves, and whether they're not as hardworking as others. I tell them that other people's elderly relatives practice so late at night, why can't they do the same?]
[Haha, that's great! You've made me hold back my tears.]
[I've learned something new: Filial piety brings strength!! It's time to let the elderly in our families experience what they used to feel (evil.JPG)]
"It's different for me. Before Feiyang Entertainment's competition, my elderly relatives were always being scammed by health products; it was truly impossible to protect them. Now, they simply don't have time to attend lectures. If they absolutely have to go, they come right back, or they listen while playing games with other elderly people."
[Not bad, not bad at all. Old people really know how to slack off. It's a kind of tradition, o(*￣︶￣*)o]
[This is nothing. The elderly folks in our neighborhood who can't afford to enroll in classes to learn "The Secret of Penglai Island" directly ask health product salespeople to teach them one-on-one; otherwise, they won't listen to a single word.]
[As expected, the elderly have some tricks up their sleeves! No wonder my teammates have been getting better and better lately. Do health supplement salesmen need to be at least a King-level player?!]
[The person upstairs told me that there are HR job openings recently, specifically for positions targeting seniors. All applicants need to be able to play "The Secret of Penglai Island." They say, otherwise, you won't have anything in common with older people.]
[God's common language O(∩_∩)O haha~]
[Hehe, my parents are really amazing. They won all the furniture and appliances for our new house! o(*￣︶￣*)o (Image.JPG)]
[I took a screenshot and will send it to my elderly relative right away. They all have two arms and two legs, how come other people's elderly are so much better off?]
