Chapter 26 Opening

On February 12, the 20th year of Yongtai, Guangzhou.

Today is the day when the "Dragon Head Cup" starts.

Early that morning, the entrance of the Longmen Gang was already crowded with people; it can be seen from the abominableness of these people... they are almost all characters on the Green Forest Road.

Their purpose of coming here today is nothing more than three: some come to participate in the competition, some come to watch the fun, and some come to eat and drink.

Someone may ask when he sees this, isn’t it just a martial arts match? Why are there food and drinks?

You have to listen to me...

On the Green Forest Road, there is a rule: whenever a big man with the "Di Generation" or "Zhou Generation" washes his hands, or a large gang takes over as a new leader, the parties involved must have a banquet, dance dragons and lions, and invite all the local colleagues with great reputation to come and have a glorious show.

Don't think they are gangsters and are just talking nonsense. In fact, they have a good reason.

First, doing this set of pomp can indirectly reflect the identity, status, and financial resources of the parties involved; that is, retired people can get a "final conclusion" with this set of pomp, while those who take office can demonstrate their current strength.

Secondly, in that era without photos, this method can be used to let more local colleagues recognize your appearance; this largely prevents you from walking on the street near your home, being treated as an ordinary man by a gangster who doesn’t know you and then taking a photo of you with a black brick...

Third, the "invitation culture" is also applicable here: Although many juniors come to eat and drink for free in this meal you invite today, those big guys with some status will not eat you for free, and they will come with "congratulations"; how much does it cost to hold a banquet? Isn't it just to buy ingredients, invite a chef, and then invite a handyman to add a few tables and chairs? How much can it be? But this congratulations... some are very expensive. After a while, after you have invited this meal, you will not only not lose, but you can still earn some money. Of course, you have to do it if you invite you in the future...

Finally, there is the most important unspoken rule: Although the person who treats the guests cannot take the initiative to invite the government, if someone from the government comes to congratulate him during the banquet, such as the local chief of the yamen, the magistrate, and even the county magistrate himself came to the door in person... At this time, he had to receive the guests as if they were receiving the guests, and he could not mention the other party's identity. Even if the other party was wearing official uniforms at the time, he had to think that the other party came in "personal identity".

As long as you do this, you will be successful in the future.

But if you fail to do it well, such as if you say something wrong in front of the "adults" or are not well-received, then you have to improve the relationship in the future... it will not be settled by a meal.

To a certain extent, this set of things was a customary gray process of "collusion between officials and bandits" at that time, and it was also a trial for the parties involved.

In short, the rules are all there, and the "new leader takes office" is like this, and the "new leader takes office"... You will definitely not be able to escape this time.

Then someone may ask again, even if you finish the game today and decide on a new leader, then you can treat you another day? Why do you have to do it together today?

Well... it's the "event organizer", that is, the life created by Huang Donglai and Sun Yixie.

Let’s talk about a few days ago, after watching the final registration list for this Leading Cup, Huang Donglai relied on his years of experience in organizing events (in the previous world) and the knowledge he has accumulated in the world, and after a rough calculation... he found a fact that this game is the most, and can play for half a day.

Because the ancient arena competitions, compared with modern e-sports competitions, the process... is really too simple.

The competition does not require considering all trivial matters related to online broadcasting, nor does it require interspersing sponsor advertisements; before and between games, players do not need to spend time debugging equipment or something.

So basically, the game is one game after another, with the time between games being negligible.

Apart from the inter-game time, the time of the game itself is actually very short...

After all, competitions are not boxing, and we will not use methods like "dividing weights" to create "relatively fair duel conditions" for players. In the competition, the strength of the two sides is very different, and there are countless examples of winning or losing in just a few moves or even instant kills.

Therefore, from the players appearing, saying hello to the two sides, and after the fight, they pretend to be forced, it is common for a total of less than three minutes.

Even if you calculate the average of five minutes per game, and spend another minute between games, the game from the top 32 to the championship can end in just over three hours. Isn’t it not a half day yet?

This is why, when the young hero had more than 100 people participated in the competition, the Wen and Martial Arts tests only took two days...

After finishing the calculation, Huang Donglai went to discuss with Sun Yixie and said, "Brother Sun, I guess this competition will start at 10 am and end at 2 pm... According to our previous habits, should we get everyone together for a meal after the competition, and then whoever wins the championship will pay the bill?"

Sun Yixi naturally likes to listen to these words. How can he not be happy about eating and drinking for free?

Being rich is not a contradiction with taking advantage of small gains.

So, after reaching an agreement, Sun and Huang told the other people in the Hunyuan Star Gate about this idea.

Jiang Muchan himself is from Green Forest. When he heard this, he explained to them: He said that the person who chose the leader was originally going to treat him. In the past, there were usually only two or three people who had the opportunity to choose each session. So when the uncles discussed who to choose in the teahouse in the morning, the two or three candidates were already preparing for each other and setting up the banquet on their respective territory... As soon as the result was announced, the selected one would start to send invitations to the city in the afternoon of the day. The content of the invitation did not need to be complicated, so he wrote the time and place of the treat, such as "the fourth hour of Xu, with backbone", and the people on the road understood it at a glance, and came to the evening.

But... this time they use the competition to decide the leader, and there are many contestants. In theory, dozens of people may be elected. It is unlikely that you can ask others to prepare a banquet in advance, so this meal may have to be invited another day.

After listening to him, Shuangxie concluded: The man had gathered together, and he would part with him if he didn't eat. It was not too particular... Otherwise, we would have even "consumered" this "celebration banquet" together?

Thinking of this, they thought this idea was good, and then they "notified" the matter as the organizer.

The person who came to participate thought to himself that since Hunyuan Star Gate was willing to do this, we should not refute others' face. Anyway, who will handle it, isn't it? It's really easy to deal with it together today.

So the process was decided.

It was the day of the competition in a blink of an eye, and the stadium was set up at the entrance of the Longmen Gang.

The start time is the third hour of Si.

The competition arena was set up yesterday.

Unlike ordinary ring competitions, this time in this "Dragon Head Cup" competition, a "commentary platform" that was higher than the ring was set up two meters away from the ring... and Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai were sitting there early.

The big green forest heroes in the audience were stunned when they saw this scene. They didn’t know what the commentary station was doing. If they wanted to set up VIP seats, there shouldn’t be only two seats? And why did they have to set up a table in front of them?

Just as these people in the audience were talking, the time for the game was almost here.

At that time, Huang Donglai took out an object shaped like a stone inkstone from his arms and put it on the platform in front of him and Sun Yixie.

Two seconds later, as soon as Brother Huang moved his hand away, Sun Yixie leaned forward and pointed his mouth at the object, "Hey? Did you hear it? One, two, three, two, two?"

Everyone, how can you describe this voice and movement...

You can imagine that you are lying on the bed in the middle of the night, holding your phone, thinking of clicking on a video or live broadcast, and then turning off the screen and sleeping when your eyes are sore; and at this moment, there is a eunuch-like voice, through a headphone that is about 20 yuan, combined with the sound output effect of the motherboard's own sound card, suddenly burst out with a strange scream, and then the sound burst out from your phone speaker, and came out of your face... What is that feeling?

At this moment, everyone in the competition venue was experiencing this double torture of eardrums and intracranials.

"Damn it, Brother Sun, please keep your mouth shut." Even Huang Donglai, who was sitting beside him, couldn't stand it anymore.

"Mom, am I just trying?" Sun Yixie said unhappily, "Who knows that your 'mie' sound is so loud?"

Although Brother Sun said the word "mai", it is obvious that in this era, there is no such thing as a microphone; the amplifier devices that we modern people are more familiar with almost all have to rely on electricity, which is a technology that is impossible to have. Therefore, the so-called "mai" that Huang Donglai took out at this time was actually a small magic weapon he brought out from Xuanqi Sect.

Someone must have asked when he saw this, what kind of magic weapon is this?

Actually, that doesn’t matter. Just think of it as a gizmo? I’m going to finish it now. Now I’m making up a sceptical source and body for it. After a few chapters, when you recall it, don’t you just remember that the function of this thing is a gizmo?

As for why there is such a microphone? It’s because using this explanation is easy and effortless... Not to mention that Brother Sun doesn’t use internal power to amplify at all. Even if Huang Donglai knows how to use internal power to explain for several hours, he will have to vomit blood.

"Okay, okay, I tried it all before, so you just sat upright and said, the audio range was just right, and you could just go up and say it." Huang Donglai was not afraid of being heard by people in the audience and other words, so he just sat on the commentary stage to remind Brother Sun directly.

Then Sun Yixie sat upright as he said, "Okay, then that's it, uh... Brother Huang, come?"

"Hmm!" The next second, Huang Donglai cleared his throat, turned his head slightly to Namai, and said, "Hello, friends from Green Forest! Thank you for taking the time to come here today to watch this 'Dragon Cup' game. I am the commentator Huang Donglai."

"I am the commentator Sun Yixie." Sun Yixie's sentence was very neat and skillful.

"Today's game is exclusively hosted by our Hunyuan Star Gate." Huang Dong said, then waved his hand to signal to the ring, "You can see that the couplet posted on the pillars on both sides of the rear of the ring is made by the head of our sect, and written by the old fairy Xudong... Although the two old men cannot come in person, they still sent people to send their most sincere blessings to the heroes and heroes. I hope that everyone will play with their level and style in the spirit of friendship first and competition second...."

After saying that, the two guys took the lead in applauding on the commentary stage.

The Hunyuan Star Gate clapped their hands immediately.

The brothers in the audience who watched the fun were stunned and thought to themselves, what kind of words are they? We haven’t heard them before. Are there any slander words?

They looked at the couplet hanging high behind the ring again, which read "Happy competition" on it, and the lower one was "Go home safely" on it, and the horizontal one was "High peace and safety".

What's the thing? This is?

Also, what is the thing in front of these two guys that can amplify the voice of their speech dozens of times and spread so much?

There are so many confusing points, but since the atmosphere is here, it seems that it is not impossible to pat it twice...

Therefore, the heroes of the Green Forest, who were swept by the opening words and the strange atmosphere of the "fake and empty" atmosphere of Sun and Huang, gave a sparse applause to this opening words after a brief hesitation.

This is the beginning of the first major competition held in the Grand Prix. In the future... they will hold many such competitions, and the scale of the competition is larger than the other... Of course, we will talk about that later.

Let’s talk about it now, as the applause gradually stopped, Sun Yixiu waved his hand and gestured to a group of people on standby behind the Taiwan Strait.

When he put down his hands, more than a dozen men came out of the waiting area behind the ring; some of them were holding suona, some holding gongs, and some carrying drums...

Everyone in the audience saw it: OK, is it going to have a funeral this time or get married?

They were still complaining in their hearts, and the positions on the stage started to play and play the tune, you must have heard it. It was called "Men Should Strengthen Self-Enhancing", which was the one that Huang Feihong specially played when he beats people.

This song was handed over to these musicians a few days ago by Sun Yixiu. I feel that Duan Er is quite suitable in Guangdong.

To us, this is also a golden song. For these Green Forest heroes in Dazhi, this is a musical form that they have never heard before. Now that I hear this melody, let’s just say that… it became a little ignited at that time.

A few minutes later, the music was over, and Sun and Huang took a look. The opening effect was indeed good. The purpose of "warming the scene" was achieved. Time had been collected and the atmosphere was set in place. Then, let's start the game officially.
Chapter completed!
