Chapter 40 Elite Cup
Chapter 40 Elite Cup
That’s right, Russell is preparing to enter the Black Flag secret realm again to avenge Zhou Yi.
It felt like a lot of things happened, but in fact they were just things that happened during the day.
"As for the places in higher education institutions, I will take the unified examination of Jiangxi Province!" Russell has this confidence.
Yan Wenlai fell silent after hearing what Russell said.
Knowing what Russell experienced in the secret realm, he naturally knew why Russell said this.
"It's rare that this child is such a loyal and righteous person," Yan Wenlai thought silently.
Moreover, even Master Bai was optimistic about Russell's potential, so he didn't mind selling him a good show: "No need, the rewards will remain the same, but I can make the decision to let you enter the [Black Flag] secret realm again after the Talent Cup, even if you didn't get first place."
Russell naturally would not refuse and just thanked Yan Wenlai.
Yan Wenlai waved his hand to indicate to Russell that he didn't need to thank him, and continued, "As for the Elite Cup, I will arrange for the key classes of your Shanghai No. 1 Middle School to participate as a group, so that you won't stand out if you participate alone."
One thing Yan Wenlai didn't say was that Russell's background was also one of the reasons why they chose him.
After all, both his parents have passed away, and he wants to become stronger, and he has talent, which just happens to be what the Qiling Society has been trying to win over.
As for Russell's resume, they had already revised it as soon as today's incident happened, ensuring that the Qi Ling Society would not notice any flaws.
This is also the main reason why Jiang Wang let Brother Hu go.
Speaking of the Talent Cup, Russell began to wonder, and asked, "President Yan, after all, what do you need me to do after I win first place?"
Yan Wenlai smiled when he heard this: "Student Luo, you don't need to do anything special. I think the Qiling Society must have a big plan, and it is limited to senior high school students. It seems that the first one is a little special."
"But don't worry, Mr. Luo. Master Bai will have the card follow you secretly and will definitely protect your safety."
Hearing this, Russell let out a sigh of relief. It turned out that there is no such thing as a free lunch.
But fortune and wealth come with risk, so let’s do it!
Seeing that Russell had no objection, the matter was finally settled.
Downstairs, Russell looked at the dark night and felt that he had experienced more today than in the previous month.
With complicated thoughts in his mind, Russell flew towards his residence on Pidgeot.
The next day, Russell came to school and found that Jiang Nanxi and Lin Yue had not returned yet.
But he could also understand it. After all, if there hadn't been an emergency, he wouldn't have been able to come back so soon.
But the other students in the key class didn’t know about this. When they were about to ask, Victoria Song walked into the classroom.
"Students, look here." Victoria Song patted the podium to attract the attention of the key class students, "The school has decided to let everyone participate in the Elite Cup for training."
"Talent Cup?"
The academic schedule at Shanghai No. 1 Middle School is quite busy, so students don't have much time to pay attention to these social news.
However, Victoria Song quickly gave an answer: "The Talent Cup is sponsored by Jincai Credit and is a competition for all senior high school students in Shanghai."
"If you can take first place, you can get a bonus of up to one million."
one million!
Upon hearing this number, the students in the key class instantly gasped for breath. You have to know that they are basically children from ordinary families and have never seen so much cash.
But the next moment, they saw Russell, who was daydreaming, from the corner of their eyes, and instantly a bucket of cold water was poured over them from head to toe.
They had known about the joint entrance exam of the four schools in Ning'an District for a long time, and naturally they also knew that Russell had a black iron-level card whose quality was at least above gold.
"Forget it, Brother Luo is first, so it's fine for me to get second." Many students comforted themselves in their hearts.
Time quickly came to the day of the Elite Cup. In fact, only two days had passed since Russell met Bai Yueming.
It is worth mentioning that the reward that Principal Xie had promised to give has also arrived.
It’s five hundred thousand.
It’s a good reward for Russell, since he got it for free.
Including the association's reward, Russell now has a huge sum of 2.72 million.
He has never been so confident.
However, this amount of money is still insufficient to produce a high-quality bronze card.
Back to the topic of the Yingcai Cup, the first few days of the Yingcai Cup are all preliminaries. After all, it is a competition for all senior high school students in Shanghai, so there will inevitably be a lot of people. The preliminaries are based on a points system and will continue until the top 64 are decided.
It is said that Jincai Credit will invite some high-level card makers to comment on the competition at that time.
And it will be broadcast live.
"A-grade Qinglong venue."
Russell looked at the information on his phone and determined the venue for his first match.
When he arrived at the venue, Russell was surprised to find that there were quite a few people there.
But he could understand it. After all, the competitions did not start at the same time, so it was a good choice to collect some information about the players at this time.
Russell's first match was against a teenager with acne all over his face.
Accompanied by the referee's whistle.
The acne-prone boy shouted passionately: "Come out, Paw Patrol!"
Just as Russell was wondering if he had heard it wrong, a big golden retriever with its tongue sticking out appeared in the center of the venue.
At this time, Ji Guoyuan appeared in front of Russell and turned his head to ask Russell with an uncertain look.
Russell nodded with a twitching eye: "Yes, that's it, I leave it to you, Yunyi."
Soon, the big golden retriever disappeared from the field.
Russell originally thought that the Paw Patrol was just sent by the other side to gather intelligence.
But when he saw that the acne-prone boy had turned gray and fell to his knees on the ground, he was sure that the Paw Patrol was the only card on the other side.
At this moment, there were bursts of discussion on the sidelines.
"Xiaoxi, did you see that? There are people who really use white cards to participate in the competition."
"Hey, why can't I draw an opponent like this?"
"Didn't any of you notice that humanoid creature card? It looks very powerful."
"Come on, it's just a fight with the Paw Patrol. I can beat the Paw Patrol myself!"
"→_→."
Ignoring the discussions on the sidelines, Russell did not expect to win the first game so easily.
Walking off the field, today's game is over.
It doesn’t matter anyway, Russell prepared to go home and meditate.
On the other side, in a room full of surveillance screens, several people were talking.
At this time, someone pointed at a blond boy who was standing with his hands on his hips and laughing on the screen and said, "This student's card is very strong. It is guaranteed to be a Black Iron Gold Card. He can be listed as a seeded player."
The staff nearby silently recorded the student's information.
"I'm not sure about this guy's cards." Another person said, touching his chin while watching another screen.
The people nearby came over and saw Ji Guoyuan kill the big golden retriever in one second.
"Paw Patrol"
Everyone present didn't expect that there would be students using white cards to participate in the competition. They couldn't help but roll their eyes and said, "What can you tell from playing Paw Patrol? Anyway, there are still competitions to come. Just remember to continue observing next time."
"Too."
Soon, the first day of competition was over.
The summarized information was also presented to the desk of the chairman of Jincai Credit.
"Lin Jianian Kong Cong"
"Shanghai has produced quite a few good talents this year."
"pity."
Meaningless laughter echoed in the dark office.
