Chapter 42 All the heroes in the world are within my reach
Another day of competition has ended. The senior executives of Jincai Credit, who had been sitting in the guest seats during the day, are now standing in front of a desk, bowing respectfully.
"Director Liu, this is what happened."
After reporting the day's findings, the top management silently waited for a response.
At this moment, the man called Mr. Liu was sitting in a boss chair looking at the scenery outside the floor-to-ceiling window.
"Are you sure you are at the bronze level?" A faint voice came from behind the boss's chair.
A drop of cold sweat broke out on the senior executive's forehead, but he still said in a steady voice: "Yes, I saw it with my own eyes, there is no way I would be wrong."
"And according to Jiang Wang, this Russell is an orphan."
Hearing the word "orphan", the boss's chair turned instantly. Director Liu's upper body was shrouded in shadow and his face could not be seen. He asked with curiosity in his voice, "Are you sure? Have you asked someone to check your resume?"
The senior management would naturally not make such a low-level mistake, and immediately said in a deep voice: "Yes, I have already checked it out, and the background is very clean."
"only."
The hesitation of the senior management aroused the dissatisfaction of Director Liu, who immediately said, "If you have something to say, just say it."
The senior executive was shocked when he heard this and quickly said, "It's just that when I sent people to investigate near his previous residence, I heard that he had a conflict with the association before."
"It should be the private actions of the new members recruited into the club."
Hearing this, Director Liu smiled nonchalantly and said, "What do I think? It doesn't matter. If it's really too clean, it will be a problem."
"As for now, as long as he participates in the Talent Cup, that's all."
"Go make the arrangements, and remember not to let these geniuses collide with each other."
Upon hearing this, the senior executives bowed their heads and responded respectfully, "Yes."
With the departure of the senior executives, the office fell into silence again.
After a long while, a low voice accompanied by laughter rang out: "Genius. Ha!"
The next day, the competition of 32 to 16 started again.
After the previous day's competition, the audience and guests had a basic understanding of the contestants' strengths.
"Did you notice that the players who performed outstandingly yesterday didn't meet up today?"
As the big screen projected today's game list, the audience began to talk.
"You're talking nonsense. If you were the organizer, you would definitely want the popularity to be as high as possible. How could you possibly let these popular contestants meet up front?"
"I protest, there is something shady going on!"
"The money was paid by Jincai Credit. What's the point of your protest?"
Amid the noise, the first game began.
The first person to appear was our old friend Lin Jianian.
As [Patrol Sea General Yaksha] appeared in front of him, a discussion began in the guest seats.
"It's a pity for Lin Jianian. If he were in Shanghai in previous years, he would definitely be in the top three."
"Yeah, it's a pity there are quite a few monsters this year."
"I think Russell should win this Talent Cup."
"Should? Definitely! It's only been a little over a month since these senior high school students became Iron-level card makers. Who would have thought that some students could already make Bronze-level cards?"
"They are unlucky to have run into a monster like Russell."
"But Shanghai has made great progress this year. It's rare to see so many good talents."
Soon, Lin Jianian defeated his opponent.
At this moment, screams rang out from the corner of the audience: "Ahhh! Jianian, Mommy loves you!"
"Lin Jianian! Lin Jianian!"
The director also gave a close-up shot of a group of female fans of Lin Jianian.
Seeing the camera shooting at them, these female fans couldn't help but raise the banners in their hands. "Lin Jianian is number one!"
Off the court, Russell watched the scene on the screen and his eyes twitched. He didn't expect that the card maker showdown also had fan culture.
However, it may also be because of Lin Jianian’s flamboyant personality. After all, Russell didn’t realize that he had a fan club.
Time passed quickly, and soon it was Russell's turn.
Today's opponent is obviously stronger than yesterday's Han Yingying.
But its strength is limited, and there is no obvious difference under Luffy's attack.
The next player to play for Russell was Kong Cong, who was considered the defending champion before the main game.
Unfortunately, at least no one among the guests present thought that Kong Cong could still win the championship.
As for the audience, they can only feel that Luffy is very powerful, but they don’t know that Luffy is a bronze-level card.
This made Russell look at it a few more times.
After these few days, except for Russell's card, about which no information could be found, the exposed cards of other contestants had basically been checked out.
Kong Cong's card is
Black iron grade red quality [Beast of Weapon·Rebuke].
There is a beast named Bo, which looks like a white horse, has saw-toothed teeth, eats tigers and leopards, and can resist swords and weapons.
From Shan Hai Jing.
Shan Hai Jing has always been a very popular category among card makers.
However, because the stories in Shan Hai Jing are very brief, and the Ming Dynasty still lacks a lot of information, the gap between the upper and lower limits of this category is so large that it is unimaginable.
The upper limit can be as high as [the footless dragon·Zhu Yin], who sees day as eyes open and night as eyes closed, and [the Queen Mother of the West, the clan of female immortals], to which all the women who have attained immortality in heaven and on earth, in the three realms and in all directions belong.
The lower limit is funny characters like "One-Armed Citizen" and "Hairy Citizen".
But it is obvious that Kong Cong's refutation is not a funny character.
What appeared in Russell's eyes at this moment was a ferocious beast that looked like a white horse with sharp horns on its head and a mouth full of ferocious teeth.
Moreover, shadows of swords and sabers were flying around the beast.
Under Kong Cong's fierce attack, his opponent was quickly defeated.
Didn't even put up any decent resistance.
Currently, except for the name, no specific skill characteristics of Kong Cong’s card are known.
However, the same situation applies to Russell's Luffy, and it's even more outrageous, since the outside world doesn't even know Kaneki's name.
Russell frowned as he looked at the scene in front of him. Sword attacks were not friendly to Luffy.
Fortunately, Kong Cong's refutation was only a Black Iron-level card, otherwise it would be hard to say who would win.
It’s the third day of the Elite Cup.
Today's round of 16 finally made Russell feel a little intensity.
Looking at the second card that his opponent summoned after the first card disappeared, Russell thought silently in his heart: "It turns out that you can't underestimate anyone."
but
The bronze-level mental power slowly spread out, feeling the breath of the opponent's card, Russell thought to himself: "It's just black iron-level gold, Luffy can easily solve it."
His opponent was gritting his teeth and thinking, "Damn, what kind of monsters are these? I thought I could easily win the championship by making a gold card. First it was Kong Cong, and now it's this Russell."
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little desperate.
He was originally very proud of having made a gold card, but after a few days of competition, he began to doubt his life.
Have there been so many geniuses in Shanghai in previous years?
Unfortunately, he didn't know that Luffy was a bronze-level card, otherwise he would have been even more devastated.
No matter how annoyed his opponent was, Luffy had already taken the lead in attacking.
