C14 Match day

The next night, the army invited me to dinner. We chatted for a long time in a coffee shop.

During this time, I asked him: "Dajun, what do you think are my chances of winning against that Little Sea?"

"Ask yourself that." Dajun swallowed his drink and looked at me.

I replied, "I think I have a 90% chance of success."

"90%, then what about the remaining 10%? How can I fill this gap and achieve a 100% win rate? " The great army said.

I said, "There's a ten percent chance that it will require some sort of special element. For example, a pretty girl's kiss."

"You must be joking, right? Why don't I give you a kiss?" said the army in a teasing tone.

"Tsk, it's not like you're a girl. I'll find you ugly if you go for a sex change operation." I spat at him before continuing in a serious tone, "To be honest, I really don't have a 100% chance of defeating that Little Hai. I searched for a lot of information about him on the internet and found out that he has more experience and talent than me. After all, I'm only in contact with this game for about a month, so my experience should be limited no matter what. "

"You can't think that." "You must hypnotize yourself. You can do it, you can do it! "If you want to go all out, you have to do it. Otherwise, all of our efforts will go to waste."

Actually, they didn't quite agree with what he said, because taking a life at full cost wasn't suitable for everyone. Some people had greater pressure, and the greater the motivation, the greater the potential they would have to expel. This type of person was very suitable to take a life at full cost in order to increase their chances of winning. However, there were also those who needed to leave a way out for themselves to be able to perform at their best. They might be pessimistic, or they might be pessimistic. They were unwilling to fight a battle without a way out.

I don't know what kind of person I am, maybe somewhere in between. However, I am not a pessimist. Although I am determined to win the battle, if I lose, I will think of other ways to earn money. Since my suicide attempt, I had figured out that there was only one way out for me if I lived. As long as I lived, there would be no dead end. I've been dead once, and I'm not afraid of life anymore. All I have to do is try to do everything I can, and that's enough.

After I heard what Dajun said, I thought for a moment before replying seriously, "Don't worry, I won't lose. I'm going to get a hundred thousand gold."

"Hearing you say this, I feel a lot more at ease." "As long as you become famous, you won't have to worry about losing money in the future."

"Is that so? What do you mean? " I asked curiously.

As long as you become famous in the game, you can be a game host, sit at home and wait for people to give you money. Furthermore, there will be a lot of sponsors who will come looking for you. He looked happy, as if I had already won the match.

I wasn't unfamiliar with the game's streamer profession, but I had never thought of doing it on my own, so I looked at the army with suspicion and asked, "Is it really that easy to earn money?"

"Of course, when the time comes, let me be your manager. I'll package you up and advertise you as well. If you can't even make me red, then I'll just walk upside down!" Dajun slapped his chest and looked confident, like an old driver.

I was still skeptical about this and was not interested in the game's streamer industry, so I gave him a perfunctory reply: "We'll talk about it after we win the match!" After he finished speaking, he drank a few mouthfuls of cold wine and no longer spoke.

The day of the competition had finally arrived.

The venue for the competition was a closed stadium downtown. In the center of the stadium, there were two rows of tables.

The competition was not using a street machine, but a computer. The contestants had to use the rockers provided by the organizers to conduct the competition, so they couldn't bring their own rockers. This was also to ensure fairness.

This gymnasium was open for free. Although its capacity was not large, it should be more than enough to accommodate ten thousand people.

But when I got here, the place was already packed. If there weren't ten thousand people, at least it would be a few thousand. I didn't expect that a mere fighting game would have so many fans, but there must be a lot of fake fans mixed in. These people are just here to watch a show, so there are definitely many who don't understand games.

As I'd imagined, the stadium was covered with all sorts of sponsors' ads, including the screens and the stools, and of course the clothes worn by the contestants. I'm wearing a black shirt with a big beverage brand, LOGO, printed on it. To avoid advertising suspicion, I won't write anything here.

In other words, half of each round would be eliminated, and the remaining four people would enter the semifinals. After that, the two people who lost would contend for third place.

The prize money for this competition was indeed very generous. First place was awarded 100,000, second place was awarded 50,000, third place was awarded 5000 and fourth place also had the consolation prize, which was worth 2,000 yuan.

Maybe many people scoffed at this pool of bonuses, but as a small group of people, I think the rewards were quite generous. Furthermore, it was only a competition in the city. If it was an international level one, then it would definitely be more than that.

There were only a few dozen contestants participating in this competition, but they were all first and second string contestants. It was rare for third string contestants as they had all paid five hundred yuan in registration fees. After all, five hundred dollars wasn't a small sum of money for an average family. No one wanted to spend several hundred dollars for an expert to torture them and embarrass themselves.

In order to avoid surrogate, each contestant had a sign on their chest with a picture of themselves on it. Fortunately, I don't need an ID card to sign up. Otherwise, I might not be able to make it into the competition.

After confirming that there were a total of forty contestants, the first round of the competition would be divided into groups automatically by the computer. Next, the next opponent would be decided by drawing lots.

At this moment, a large group of people had already gathered in the audience stands. They were able to watch the entire match from the large circular screen in the middle.

In order to save time, the first round of matches was held at the same time. The following rounds would be carried out one by one. This meant that the audience could only look at the final ten rounds of matches, and they could only choose to watch the first round.

Very quickly, the results of the computer subdivision came out. My opponent was a fatso. He looked a few years older than me, and he really looked like a pig. He seemed to have nothing on him but meat, and I wondered if I could squeeze a few tons of lard out of him.

I'm not discriminating against Fatty. I just feel that this kind of fatty should be very powerful. His hands and feet should be weak. How can he play a high-quality game?

That was my first impression of the fat man.

I firmly believe that this game is secure.

I had rarely played in competitions since I was a kid, except for car racing, but that was just for fun and there was no real audience. This time, there were thousands of pairs of eyes watching him. It would be a lie to say that he wasn't nervous at all. All I can do is try to turn my tension into excitement and play every game seriously. After all, my goal is to defeat Little Hai, so before meeting him, I cannot be careless. Of course, I must be more cautious when meeting him.

In fact, from the moment the contestant entered the arena, I had been paying attention to Little Hai's movements. Right now, he was standing right across from me, beside his opponent. Little Hai was also older than me, and his figure was slightly plump. His appearance was also quite ordinary. But people can't judge a book by its cover. Those who don't know him don't dare to believe that he was the one who defeated Japan's top ten fighters, Xiaohai! Just like me, although I think myself a bit handsome, also a bit manly and heroic, but who can believe that I was once a countless number of beautiful playboy!

The match was about to begin.

The contestants had already taken their seats and were waiting for the referee's order.

Before the match, there was always an opening, and the host was really good at talking. He talked a lot of nonsense, and I didn't hear him at all. After the competition officially started, I engaged in an intense battle with the fatty beside me.

Truly, one cannot judge a book by its cover. If I say that it was intense, it would not be exaggerated at all. He thought that he could defeat the fatty easily, but to think that this fatty's level of skill was even above that of the army!

In the first round, I narrowly beat him. In the second round, I was actually killed by his Eight Gods Fingerblood. In the end, I lost and my score dropped to 1: 1.

I didn't dare to underestimate my opponent anymore and chose the main force, the Eight Gods. I even used the ultimate move, the Ghost Steps, that I trained for a long time, to get rid of two of them in one breath. His third character was also his main force. It was a fatty who used a hammer. His name was Chen Guohan. The reason why I felt that this was his main force is because I felt that this character is very similar to that fatty in the first place, both covered in fat. The second reason is that that fatty does have some skills.

After a round of tough battles, I finally defeated my opponent with a big score of 5: 2. The fat guy was obviously depressed after losing. He kept his head down without saying a word. His whole body seemed to be immersed in a deep state of grief. When I saw him in such dire straits, I could not help but pat him gently on the back to comfort him, but I said nothing.

Perhaps he has ten thousand reasons not to lose, but one reason is enough for me to win, and that is for Xiao Yue.

In order to help Xiao Yue gather tuition fees from the university, I did my best. All these days of hard training were all for the sake of winning the championship today. Thus, I definitely can't fall down midway. This first victory is just a warm-up, the true test is yet to come.

After the first round of the competition ended, it was time for the drawing of lots. The 20 people that had advanced were divided into two groups, and one of them would be the one to pick his opponent. Coincidentally, I was assigned to the group that drew lots, and the army that advanced with me was also assigned to my group.

After the results of the draw, the host began to announce the names of each opponent. Before it was his turn to face me, the army shot me a look. From his expression, I could tell that he was in a terrible situation. When the host announced the names of Dajun and his opponent, I immediately understood that his opponent was Little Hai!

Before the start of the second round, we had a ten-minute half-time break where the players could talk to each other or drink water and relax. On the other hand, Dajun found me and said to me with a bitter face, "How unlucky. I had originally wanted to take third place, but now there's no hope. I don't have the chance to advance to the third round."

"Don't be so pessimistic. Maybe you can get rid of Lil 'Hai ahead of time. I don't need to go on stage." I say.

"Are you kidding? If I could have killed him, I wouldn't have trained you so hard." "He still doesn't necessarily lose if he lets me use one hand, not to mention that he used all his firepower."

"It's fine. Just treat it as entertainment. I'll deal with Little Hai, the final boss." I patted my chest and said proudly.

"Sigh, that's the only thing we can do. When the time comes, I'll do my best to understand his methods. I hope that I can provide some help to you." The great army said dejectedly.

The following matches were being conducted singly, which meant that every match would have many people watching them, which would also unconsciously increase the pressure on the contestants. I also heard that the competition was broadcasted online, which means that there are far more people watching the competition than just those present. It might even be possible for there to be several hundred thousand or even a few million people.

In front of my army, the victory came quickly. I quickly finished off my opponent and won by 5: 0. Zero Seals also won a round of cheers. I believe that many people would not recognize me and might be surprised in their hearts, but in reality, being able to achieve such a result is not a cold thing, and I have to go through countless bitter training to get it. Although I think that I have a certain level of talent, otherwise it would be impossible to achieve such an impressive improvement in such a short period of time.

I didn't care about the following matches until it was the army's turn to go on stage. Only then did I start to focus on the big screen.

The showdown between Dajun and Little Hai wasn't really that exciting. After all, the gap between them was huge. In the end, he lost miserably to Little Hai with a score of 1: 5. The match that I won was still one where Little Hai went easy on me. Perhaps ordinary people wouldn't be able to see it, but I could tell that it was just a narrow victory.

After the match, I interviewed Dajun and asked him, "Dajun, how did you feel about your performance just now?"

"Aiya, don't mention it anymore. That Little Hai doesn't play according to the rules. I can't figure out his move at all. It's really unfathomable!" The army seemed to have some lingering fear as they were still immersed in the scene of being beaten up, their speech absent-minded.

I said, "Little Hai really lives up to his reputation. I suddenly feel a little excited."

"How much chance do you have of defeating him?" the army asked, looking at me nervously.

I held out a finger to him.

"Ten percent?" Don't scare me! " The army stared at my extended index finger, eyes wide with horror.

"No, one hundred percent." "No," I said.

"That's even more impossible. Where do you get your confidence from?" The army obviously did not believe him. Perhaps he felt that this was a fantasy that was unrealistic.

I said, "The more excited I am, the higher my battle prowess. Seeing that my opponent is so powerful, I naturally feel even more excited. My battle prowess is also extremely high."

"I hope you're not joking." The great army said.

"Of course I'm serious." I said, "But then again, that little Hai was really fierce, and he was kind, and he let you off just to give you some face, or you'd be shaven."

"I also saw that he went easy on her." Dajun sighed, "If he wants to win, he can. It's like he's playing with me. He's really scary, terrifying!"

When watching Little Hai and the army against each other, I quickly noticed that Little Hai's Eight Gods were really like gods. Not only did their moves connect smoothly and fluently, it also made it hard for people to guard against them. It was common to see Little Hai's set of suppressive techniques, directly pushing the army into a corner and preventing them from moving, then getting knocked out and taken away.

In other words, even if you didn't move, you would still die. Little Hai was such a contestant, he could control your rhythm. This is also the realm of experts, and I am confident that I can do it. As for who will win and who will lose, that will depend on who can perform more stably.

I also found another detail, which is that Little Hai likes to put the Eight Gods first. This kind of advantage is that it can beat up two opponents in one go, use its main force to suppress them, and destroy their morale.

My strategy was like this. If he was the first one to go into the Eight Trigrams, I would use the third main force to deal with him. Naturally, I would lose, but at the very least, I would be able to kill him and release the Eight Trigrams.

I'm doing this to use the weakest character to use up the strongest opponent character, and then use the strongest character to beat up the opponent's main force. After that, I'm going to use up as much HP as I can, so I'll leave a second hand at the end of the line to deal with Little Hai's second and third line characters.

As time passed, the competition gradually entered its white-hot phase.

Unknowingly, they had already reached the semifinal stage. Only four people survived.

It was fated that Little Hai and I would reach the end of the match. This is because I didn't manage to get Little Hai as my opponent in the semifinals.

I finally advanced to the finals with a score of 5: 4. Although I did not perform well during the matches, I was still able to successfully make it to the finals.

Dajun, who was cheering for me, wiped his cold sweat. I think that when my score with my opponent reaches 4: 4, Dajun's heart would probably jump to his throat.

"I finally won, you didn't know that I almost had a heart attack from you!" The army came to congratulate me after I won the semifinals.

I smiled and said, "Isn't it just a competition? As for scaring you to such a state? "

"You make it sound so easy. For this match, I bet all my work on it. If you win, we can rise to greatness. If you lose, I'll lose everything!" Dajun said seriously.

"Don't worry, I won't let you down." I said it very seriously.

"Alright, I will cheer you on!" The army raised their fists and gave me an encouraging look.

I replied indifferently, "It would be great if she could come watch my match …."

"She? Are you talking about Xiao Yue? " the army asked in surprise.

I didn't deny it and directly nodded, "Yes, if she can cheer me up, I won't be afraid even if it's ten little seas!"

"Is it that exaggerated?" Is a woman really that powerful? " The army obviously didn't believe it.

"Sigh, you wouldn't understand even if I told you. Whatever, she can't possibly come anyway. Maybe she doesn't even know about this matter." I didn't have much hope towards this, so I simply changed the topic. "The finals are about to begin. I heard that the finals have a seven win rate?"

"I think so. This is good as well. If we fight a few more rounds, your tolerance for mistakes will be higher." The army nodded thoughtfully.

The finals began amidst cheers and cheers.

The audience clearly had quite a few fans of Little Hai. They were cheering for Little Hai, and quite a few even lit up their tags with Little Hai's name and the image of him on the Q-ed. It made him look like a celebrity.

However, thinking about it, he was indeed a celebrity. After all, no matter what industry you were in, as long as you did your best, you would become a celebrity. Little Hai, on the other hand, was one of the celebrities in the movie and television industry. He had quite a number of fans.

As I walked onto the field, I couldn't help but think to myself: If I really beat Little Hai, what would his fans think? Am I going to be stuck in this gym? Of course, my idea was very childish, but it also had a faint hint of sarcasm. I was determined to win against Little Hai. Even if I couldn't get out of here, I would not hesitate to do so.

The match is about to start, so I was sitting next to Little Hai. My heart couldn't help but feel a little nervous and stressed out. But on second thought, I felt that the other party's pressure must be even greater than mine. After all, not only was he responsible for himself, he was also responsible for so many fans. Thinking of this, I felt much more relaxed, because I only had to take responsibility for myself and Xiao Yue, and the army was still an additional force. This didn't mean that I was a person who valued women more than friends, because to me, Xiao Yue wasn't as simple as a lover anymore. She was my savior, and even though the person who saved me that day wasn't her, it didn't make any difference to me.

It was Xiao Yue who gave me a new life. She was the first woman who made me feel good about her and not dare to let my imagination run wild. I had already treated her as an indispensable part of my life.

The match had already begun.

In the first round, Little Hai once again took out his Eight Gods to take the lead. Following my plan, I didn't use the Eight Gods to clash with him. Instead, I sent the third main force to fight against his Eight Gods.

In the end, it was just as I expected. I only managed to take out a bit more than half of his health before entering the second small round.

It's my turn, the Eight Gods.

The moment my Eight Gods appeared, they made an illusory start. Seizing upon a small flaw that only lasted for an instant, I used the Eight Gods Ghost Steps and knocked out his Eight Gods. Then, I easily took them away and executed a perfect end to the battle.

Now it was Little Hai's turn to have a hard time. He was going to face my full Eight Gods and a second main force. In the end, I won, so the score was temporarily 1: 0. I was in the lead.

Initially, I thought that after obtaining the first victory, I could suppress the other party's morale and cause him to lose frequently. However, I was wrong.

My thoughts were too naive. I forgot that Little Hai is an experienced expert. His calmness and methods to deal with variables really have a lot of tricks. In the following matches, he beat me three times in a row, and the score became 1: 3.

But I'm not an easy scorer either. I chased after him, and in the end, I managed to score two games back to a draw. The scoreboard score became 3: 3.
