Chapter 44 Talented and virtuous
"You are bronze level?!"
Feeling the two cards entering the cold draw in his mind, Kong Cong asked incredulously.
He didn't expect that just one strike would put his purple [Unenlightened Citizens] and red [Sword Beast·Refut] into cooling down.
This made the atmosphere at the competition venue seem to be frozen.
After a while, the commentator Xiao Mo's slightly stiff voice sounded: "Student Kong Cong said that student Russell is a bronze-level card maker. I wonder what basis he has for that?"
But Kong Cong didn't have time to pay attention to Xiao Mo. He just stared at Russell.
Seeing this, Russell said calmly, "Yes."
Hearing Russell's admission, Kong Cong clenched his fists instantly, but the next moment, he hunched his back and said dejectedly: "You win, Russell."
"I'm sorry I couldn't satisfy you."
I thought that with the bond of Wuqi Guomin and Bud, winning the Elite Cup was a sure thing.
Unexpectedly, Russell suddenly appeared.
This made Kong Cong, who claimed to be the best high school student in Shanghai, extremely depressed.
Looking at Kong Cong's appearance, Russell couldn't help but hesitate whether to go up to comfort him: "Isn't this kid's Tao heart broken by my beating?"
But soon, Kong Cong cheered up. One defeat could not defeat his will. He clenched his fist and said to Russell, "Russell, I will catch up with you one day!"
Russell naturally would not undermine the other party's self-confidence, but just said perfunctorily: "Well, good luck."
Regardless of how the two people in the field reacted, Xiao Mo said with a trembling voice: "Incredible, unbelievable, did you hear that? Russell admitted that he is a bronze-level card maker."
"I have been commentating on the Card Creator Duel for many years, but I have never seen such a young bronze-level Card Creator."
In fact, I have seen it before. In previous years, there were also some geniuses in the Ming Dynasty who reached the bronze level in their senior year of high school.
But that only takes half a year or even longer to get into.
You have to know that it has only been about a month and a half since the start of school for this senior year class.
This is the first time Xiao Mo has seen such rapid progress.
The scene was in an uproar at this time, and almost everyone present was talking about it.
"Gui Gui, how does the saying go? If you don't make a card, seeing me is like a frog in a well seeing the bright moon. If you make a card, seeing me is like an ant seeing the blue sky."
"Fuck, brother, you have great literary talent. This Russell is probably the most talented student in recent years."
"It should be. At least I haven't heard of anyone else becoming a bronze-level card maker in just over a month."
"That may not be the case. Have you forgotten [Yongguang] Ye Diantang? He is only in his thirties now."
"Haha, if you compare Russell and Ye Diantang, Ye Diantang has already won."
"It's the opposite of Tiangang, right?"
"Russell? Call me Luoshen!"
Along with the live broadcast on TV, different reactions broke out in various parts of Shanghai.
A director of a private high school was frantically making phone calls: "Is it possible for us to get Russell to transfer to our school?!"
"As long as it's within our budget, we can accept any amount he says!"
Even the teachers in charge of recruiting new students at several higher education institutions in Shanghai silently ticked Russell's name after watching the Elite Cup: "We can pay special attention to him. As long as his performance in the provincial unified examination is not too bad, we can consider recruiting him."
Jiang Nanxi was also watching the final of the Talent Cup at home. She had come out of the secret realm some time ago. As for why Russell came out of the secret realm so quickly, Jiang Wang also told her. She naturally understood that Russell probably did not obtain many resources in the secret realm.
Just when she thought she could catch up with Russell by relying on the resources gained from the Black Flag secret realm, she didn't expect that Russell had already become a bronze-level card maker.
"It's really despairing, Russell." In an abandoned factory somewhere, a group of gangsters who looked like gangsters also watched the entire Elite Cup game.
"These damn talents are really enviable."
"That's right. If I had this kind of talent, I wouldn't be here now."
"Hahaha, you're not going to get any good results if Mr. Xu hears this."
"Tsk, these geniuses have only been showing off for a while in the past two years. I don't believe that the club is holding this competition with such fanfare just to help the enemy."
"That's hard to say. Maybe in two years he'll parachute into the guild and become your boss."
In the crowd, a shiny bald head was reflecting dazzling light under the electric light.
This person is naturally Brother Hu.
Brother Hu looked at Russell on TV, his eyes revealing a sense of confusion: "Russell? Why does this name sound so familiar?"
"I remember"
Just as he was about to recall, the white six-tailed fox shadow in his mind emitted a faint light.
"Oh, I remember now, isn't this Russell our client before?"
Putting aside the doubts that had just arisen in his mind, Brother Hu continued to watch the post-match segment of the Talent Cup.
In a corner where no one was paying attention, a middle-aged man in a black suit was looking at Brother Hu with a half-smile.
Amid the discussion among the audience, the guests in the guest seats all came to the venue.
Together with them are other players who ranked in the top eight in the Talent Cup.
Mr. Bai took the lead and shook Russell's hand: "Congratulations, Mr. Luo deserves the first place."
"It was just luck." Russell put on a polite smile and withdrew his hand calmly.
"Congratulations, Mr. Luo. When you have time in the future, you can come to our Shanghai Star Battle Club."
"It's true that young people are heroes."
The other guests behind Mr. Bai also smiled at Russell.
In their view, for a talented player like Russell who has a bright future at first glance, putting on a smile is nothing big at this moment.
Lin Jianian, one of the top eight contestants, stared blankly at Russell's figure. He didn't expect that less than half a month had passed before the joint entrance exam of the four schools in Ning'an District, and Russell had already become a bronze-level card maker.
But after a moment, Lin Jianian smiled with relief: "It seems that I should dye my hair back."
After all the competitions are over, it is time for the award ceremony.
On the podium, Russell held a giant one million dollar prize medal in one hand and shook hands with President Bai with the other.
The constant flashing of lights almost blinded him.
After a long time, the long award ceremony finally ended.
Just when Russell thought the Elite Cup was over, President Bai called out to eight players including him.
"Students, please stay. Our President Liu from Jincai Credit wants to meet you." President Bai said with an impeccable smile on his face, "Please rest assured, students, President Liu just wants to meet you young heroes."
"By the way, I would like to offer some financial support to all students as a token of my appreciation."
Hearing this, Russell's heart sank. Without even looking at Jiang Wang behind Mr. Bai, he already knew.
The main event is coming.
