Chapter 318 Artificial Intelligence Expert (3)
The next day was the weekend, and Tu Hanyu also wanted to take this opportunity to go to the Masters to watch the game, so Xu Xuehan also went there. He was not very interested in elf fighting, nor did he understand much, he just knew that two elves were fighting each other. In his eyes, this was the same as the ancient people playing cricket fighting and cockfighting, both of which were wasting their time. It's just that the fighting power of elves is too strong, far beyond the comparison of crickets and cockfighting, so the fighting power of elves involves the national level of military force, which is why the country vigorously promotes elf fighting to enhance the overall national strength.
Xu Xuehan's view on Pokémon battles was somewhat narrow, but that was basically what he meant. He followed Tu Hanyu to the arena viewing stand. He usually watched Pokémon battles on TV, and he had never seen live battles. The only time he saw a Pokémon battle up close was two years ago when he was attacked in the wild and was saved by Tu Hanyu.
Tu Hanyu could not have imagined that the tickets for the Masters Tournament were so popular that all the seats had been sold out long ago. The tickets she got were given to her by Wang Qiyi as a gift. These were two free tickets that every contestant could get to invite their relatives and friends to watch the game.
The Masters Tournament is extremely important to every contestant, so they take it very seriously and make full preparations. When they compete, their parents and relatives will come to cheer them on. However, Wang Qiyi is alone, without any relatives or friends. His parents are busy with their own things, and his good brother Jia Wencheng is taking the college entrance examination. There is not a single college classmate. Xiao Li is also busy with his own scientific research work, so how can he have time to watch Wang Qiyi's competition?
There are 4 matches today, which are the top 8 of the Masters Tournament. The ranking matches for 4th to 9th place were held during the day, and two players were selected to enter the top ten, namely Zhang Jing and Xun Mohan. Xun Mohan was already in the top 16 last year, but he almost didn't make it to the top ten this year despite the great increase in his strength. In the end, he barely squeezed into the top ten in the elimination round. The overall strength this year can be regarded as another golden generation.
Wang Qiyi was the first to play, and his opponent was Yang Zirong, who ranked ninth in the strength ranking and the runner-up of the Northeast Division. The strength ranking is a comprehensive assessment of all the Pokémon of the trainer, so it is relatively objective. His opponent in the 16-to-8 match was Zhang Jing, who ranked eighth. Since the overall strength of the two was not much different, the battle was very difficult. Both of them had five Pokémon. In the end, both sides fought to the last Pokémon, and he narrowly won the match and eliminated Zhang Jing.
This also meant that Zhang Jing could only play in today's ranking match from 9 to 16, and finally got the ninth place and successfully squeezed into the top ten. Yang Zirong, who won, was not very happy, because his next opponent was the seeded player Wang Qiyi. He had the same idea as the two players before Wang Qiyi, knowing that he could not win, but he would definitely kill a few of Wang Qiyi's elves before he would give up.
Little did he know that Wang Qiyi had something urgent on his mind today. He wanted to resolve the battle quickly and discuss the research plan of Rotom with Xu Xuehan, so Wang Qiyi sent out Xiaohong first. Xiaohong was so happy when she saw that she was the first one. She finally had a chance to play. In the past, Wang Qiyi always coaxed her by saying that she was a secret weapon and had to be kept until the end, and then she would never play. A few days ago, I heard that Wang Qiyi used a secret weapon to coax Ruanruan, and that guy really believed it and laughed beside him. Now everyone thinks that Wang Qiyi's trump card is Wukong.
As soon as Xiao Hong appeared, the audience burst into cheers. Everyone said that today was not the final. According to Wang Qiyi's previous performance, everyone thought that Wang Qiyi's red Gyarados would not appear today. Unexpectedly, the red Gyarados appeared first, and everyone felt that today was worth the price of the ticket.
The opponent Yang Zirong was also stunned. This is not a martial ethics. When facing others, he would first send out weak Pokémon, but when facing me, he would directly send out the trump card. He gritted his teeth and thought about what tactics could be used to defeat this Gyarados. His Pokémon were all sandstorm Pokémon, so he could only delay time and see if the sandstorm could kill Gyarados.
He sent out the first Desert Dragonfly, and as soon as it appeared, he ordered it to use the Sandstorm. However, Red was much faster than it, and before it could use the Sandstorm skill, a Water Cannon came and took the Desert Dragonfly away in an instant. The Water Cannon carried the Desert Dragonfly and crashed into the energy shield, causing the shield to flash a few times and large cracks appeared. More than a dozen Psychic Pokémon around him simultaneously protected the shield, including a Legendary Gardevoir. This shield could block the attack of a Legendary mid-level Pokémon, but now it was almost broken by just a Water Cannon move. You can imagine how terrifying this Gyarados is.
Yang Zirong had no way out. The gap between his Pokémon and his opponent was too big. They were no match at all. Tactics can only work when the Pokémon is at the same level, or when the difference in strength is not too big. Now the power of this red Gyarados at the middle level of the legendary level completely crushed him. You know, although Xiaohong is only at the middle level of the legendary level, she fought back and forth against Wang Ruoping's high-level legendary Swampert, and she didn't feel suppressed by the level at all. Xiaohong is invincible at the same level, so even if he sent out the ace legendary level initial level Garchomp, he couldn't escape the fate of being killed in seconds.
In the first match of the Masters Tournament, Yang Zirong's five Pokémon were defeated by Wang Qiyi's Gyarados in less than 10 minutes. The audience was so excited that Wang Qiyi greeted his opponent and the audience and then walked down the podium.
"Too strong. Why does it feel like he didn't try his best in the college national competition, and he doesn't try his best even now." Tu Hanyu was shocked by Wang Qiyi's strength, and Xu Xuehan, a layman, couldn't understand this one-sided game. What exactly is Wang Qiyi's strength? It's obviously because his opponent is too weak.
This was already the quarterfinals of the Masters Tournament, and Wang Qiyi still played so easily, which was beyond the record of any player in the previous tournament. The betting sales of the gambling company no longer offered the option of Wang Qiyi's single win or loss, because his winning rate was already 99%. They began to offer gambling options such as guessing what Wang Qiyi's first elf would be in the semifinals, and how many elves would appear.
"The next match is against Wu Tianqing, the champion of the North China Division. He is the son of Professor Wu, an instructor in the Flight Department of our college. The Wu family is also a large family in the Flight Department. Let me see who his opponent is..." Tu Hanyu was searching for information on her phone when someone suddenly called her. It was Wang Qiyi. She picked up the phone, "Wang Qiyi, what's wrong?"
"Come on, are you still sitting here to finish reading? I want to talk to Senior Xu about the project plan."
"No way, the Masters tickets are so hard to get, and the seats are so good, you want me to watch for 10 minutes and then leave?"
"I'm giving you the ticket. I didn't use your money to buy it. The strength of this Masters Tournament is too weak. It will be just a baby cup. It's totally boring. I'll give you a ticket when I play in the King's Tournament."
"That's what you said," Tu Hanyu's eyes lit up, "Wait, I can't get a word in when you and Senior Xu are talking about the project. I think he doesn't understand this elf battle at all and has no interest in it at all. Why don't you two go talk and I'll stay here and watch the game."
"That's fine, tell him to come out the door, I'll wait for him there."
"OK, you agreed to give me a ticket for the King's Match." After Tu Hanyu hung up the phone, she urged Xu Xuehan to leave the arena quickly to find Wang Qiyi so as not to delay her from watching the subsequent matches.
Xu Xuehan was not really interested in the elf battle. His mind was on the strong artificial intelligence mobile phone project that Wang Qiyi mentioned, so he hurriedly left the arena. Wang Qiyi was already waiting for him at the door. The two came to a coffee shop near the arena, and Wang Qiyi handed him the research plan he had written a long time ago.
