Chapter 300: Embroidery Competition in Lingluo Town (Diamonds and Jewels Are Too Much to Be Loved)
After Heimer finished his challenge to the battle tower, his next stop was to go to Linglong Town to participate in the upcoming Linglong Conference.
At this moment, Heimer passed by a small town called Lingluo Town, where the residents made a living by embroidery and were also famous for embroidery.
It is said that today, Lingluo Town will also hold an embroidery competition that is held every year.
There are three rounds in total in the competition. The first round is theoretical knowledge. Based on the fabrics provided by the organizer, you need to judge what thread and embroidery method are used.
The second round is about basic skills. The organizer will give out a piece of beautifully woven silk. The contestants need to quickly weave an identical one within the specified time. The higher the degree of overlap, the higher the score of this round.
The third round is creative production. The judges will randomly assign three themes to each contestant on the day. The contestants need to complete the conception and creation in the next three days. Finally, on the day of judging, the judges will give a comprehensive score based on the completion, creativity and difficulty of the work.
The player with the highest total score from the three rounds will be the champion of this competition.
In addition, each contestant must team up with a Pokémon to participate in the competition.
On the day Heimer arrived in Lingluo Town, the streets of the town were covered with posters promoting the embroidery competition.
Originally, Heimer had no interest in this competition, but... when Heimer was looking at the poster, he suddenly discovered that the champion's prize was actually a large sum of money.
So, Heimer happily signed up for the competition, even though he could only sew some things and had no idea about embroidery.
However, perhaps because he obtained the sixth symbol, Heimer was particularly courageous today.
At this moment, after arriving at the registration office of the embroidery competition, Heimer thought for a moment and decided to participate in the competition with the Lizard King.
After the Lizard King came out of the Poké Ball, Heimer happily talked to the Lizard King while holding the poster of the embroidery competition.
Chi Haimo: "Lizard King, how about we go to participate in this competition together?"
In response to Heimer's question, the Lizard King pointed worriedly at the small pattern representing embroidery on the poster after seeing that the content of the competition was related to needlework.
It seems that the Lizard King is asking Heimer, is it really okay for us to participate in this competition?
Perhaps because of his understanding of the Lizard King, Heimer guessed what the Lizard King meant at once. He patted the Lizard King on the shoulder and said.
Chi Haimo: "It's okay, Lizard King. The main thing is that the champion of this competition will get a lot of prize money. Well, anyway, the most important thing for us is to participate. Besides, what if we win?"
After hearing what Heimer said, the Lizard King was still very hesitant, because he knew that Heimer was not good at this aspect, so if Heimer participated in the competition, he might be injured.
Seeing that the Lizard King didn't answer, Heimer spoke directly to the Lizard King in a somewhat coquettish tone.
Chi Haimo: "Hey, Lizard King, just go and experience it, come with me..."
The Lizard King sighed helplessly and nodded slightly, apparently agreeing to go with Heimer.
Seeing this, Heimer jumped up happily.
Chi Haimo: “Great!”
Seeing Heimer's happy expression, the Lizard King laughed softly.
After deciding to participate in the competition, Heimer and the Lizard King decided to go to a nearby bookstore together to buy books related to fabrics, intending to make up for the lost time tonight.
Just as Heimer and the Lizard King were about to get up and leave, a familiar voice suddenly came from the side.
Xianglan: "Please, Gardevoir, accompany me."
In response to Xianglan's request, Gardevoir shook her head slightly. Seeing this, Xianglan spoke in a very pleading tone.
Xianglan: "After all, the champion will get a huge bonus. What if I win? Please, go with me."
Faced with Xianglan's request, Gardevoir finally agreed reluctantly.
Xianglan: "Thank you, Gardevoir."
After Xianglan finished speaking, she happily held Gardevoir's hand.
At this moment, Heimer and the Lizard King also walked towards Xianglan.
Chi Haimo: "Sister Xianglan."
Xianglan: "Hahaha, brother Haimo."
After Xianglan greeted Heimer, she keenly noticed the poster in Heimer's hand, so she asked with surprise.
Xianglan: "Hmm? Momo, are you going to participate in this textile competition too?"
Chi Haimo: "Yeah, yes, although I am not proficient in weaving, but after all, the prize money is so much money, what if I win."
Hearing this, Xianglan happily covered her mouth and smiled.
Xianglan: "Hahaha, that's what I thought too."
Chi Haimo: "Hahaha, so, Sister Xianglan, you also can't weave or something like that?"
Facing Heimer's question, Xianglan raised her hand confidently and said.
Xianglan: “Absolutely not!!”
As soon as Xianglan said this, she couldn't help but burst into laughter. When Heimer heard that Xianglan was just like him, participating in the competition without knowing anything, he also started laughing.
I'm afraid the only people who participated in this textile competition with such a relaxed attitude were Heimer and Xianglan.
Just as the two were talking happily, a familiar voice was heard from the side of the street.
Frandy: "Pippi, participation is the most important thing. Let's go and give it a try, okay?"
In response to Frandy's request to participate in the textile competition, Pippi nodded gently, as if agreeing to Frandy.
Seeing this, Freddy happily held Pippi's hand and said to her with a smile.
Frandy: "Thank you, Pipi. Well, although I don't know how to weave, the prize money for the champion is so much money after all, so I will try to participate. Maybe we will be super lucky and win the championship."
Pippi: "Pippi."
Although for some reason, Pippi felt that it was unlikely, but seeing that Frandy seemed to be in a good mood today, she nodded very gently and agreed to Frandy's words.
At this time, Frandi let go of Pippi's hand and stood up, and saw Xianglan and Heimer standing not far away, as well as the Lizard King and Gardevoir.
Frandy: "Eh?! Why are you guys here too?!"
Hearing Frandy's question, Heimer and Xianglan smiled at each other, and then Heimer spoke gently.
Chi Haimo: "I can't weave, but I'm greedy for money."
Xianglan: "So, I plan to try my luck at the textile competition. After all, what if I win?"
Frandy: “Ah…”
After the three of them were silent for a while, they suddenly laughed happily at the same time for some reason. Perhaps it was because of some strange tacit understanding, or perhaps it was because of the strange friendship between the three of them, so the reasons for their participation in the competition were almost the same.
On the other side, seeing their best friends who were all so relaxed and happy, Gardevoir, Lizard King, and Pipi all laughed at the same time.
Chi Haimo: "But, speaking of which, Freddy, can you weave?"
When Frandy heard Heimer's question, he looked at Heimer and Xianglan pretending to be a little serious.
Frandy: “Absolutely not.”
Seeing this, Xianglan looked at Freddy very seriously and said.
Xianglan: "What a coincidence, I am the same."
Chi Haimo: "Me! Too."
Hearing that his two best friends were exactly the same as him, Freddy laughed first without being kind.
Frandy: "Ah this, um...hahahaha, sorry...um."
It seems that there won't be other contestants in this textile competition who will participate in the competition with such a relaxed attitude as these three.
At this moment, just as the three were about to go back to prepare, a very familiar voice came from the side.
Changan: "Nine-tailed."
In response to Chang'an's call, Jiuwei simply turned her head away. It seemed that she didn't want to pay attention to Chang'an.
Changan: "Bonus, I really want to go, please, Jiuwei."
Looking at Chang'an's pleading eyes, Jiuwei sighed helplessly and agreed to Chang'an's request.
After Chang'an got Kyuubi's consent, the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
Just when Chang'an was about to go to register with Pippi, Chang'an suddenly discovered Heimer, Xianglan and Frandy standing behind him.
Changan: "Why are you all here?"
Chi Haimo: "I can't weave, but I'm greedy for money."
Xianglan: “Try your luck.”
Frandy: "After all, what if we win?"
Hearing the three people express his inner thoughts exactly, Changan clapped his hands in shock.
Changan: "When did you...learn to read minds?"
The three of them smiled at each other, and then told Chang'an what had happened.
So... the four-member team gathered again, worked hard all night, and worked hard together to win the championship with a huge bonus.
At night, Frandi and Xianglan asked each other questions that might be asked in the first round tomorrow.
Changan and Haimo recited knowledge points from the book to each other.
The next day... The four of them went out bravely! It seemed as if they were determined to win the championship this time!
Many contestants were frightened by the aura these four men exuded.
Although the four-man team looked great, they didn't score a single point in the first round.
Four people, five questions, no one answered any one correctly.
In the second round, all ten of Heimer's fingers were pierced, and he and the Lizard King failed to finish within the specified time.
Flandi and Pippi managed to weave half of it together, but Xianglan and Gardevoir couldn't weave it at all, so they gave up directly.
As for Changan and Jiuwei... Jiuwei got a little impatient waiting, so he accidentally spit fire from his mouth and burned the loom.
As a result, Changan and Jiuwei were kicked out by the organizers in the second round.
In the final third round, only Heimer, Frandy and Xianglan were left.
Of course, the final work presented by the three people is also beyond words.
Hai Mo's three themes are fans, hibiscus, and double-sided embroidery. However, Hai Mo has no idea how to do double-sided embroidery, so he has to use cheap diamonds, pearls and jade to embellish the fans.
As a result... Heimer, Frandy and Xianglan came up with the same idea, and all three of them used diamonds, pearls and jade to decorate their works.
So, the judges gave the same comments to the three people.
It takes away the main focus and does not distinguish between the primary and the secondary, so it gets zero points.
After the embroidery competition, the four of them gathered backstage.
Chi Haimo: "To be honest, I wanted to run away halfway through."
Frandy: "Me too, hahahaha, I really don't."
Xianglan: "Well, now that I think about it, there is a reason why the bonus is so high."
Changan: "Yeah, yeah, well, let's go back to the Pokémon Center."
Just as the four were about to leave, the champion of the embroidery competition was announced, a boy wearing glasses.
At this moment, the boy was standing on the podium holding the prize money and trophy, crying.
In addition, Heimer keenly noticed the thick calluses and scars on the boy's hands. It seemed that he was practicing hard every day.
The four of them saw this scene, smiled in relief, and then went to the Pokémon Center together to do training related to the Gorgeous Contest.
By the way, on the way back to the Pokémon Center, Heimer learned that Chang'an had already won the fifth ribbon medal.
Therefore, now among the four people, only Xianglan and Haimo are still four.
