CHAPTER 71: READY, GL
March 11th.
Today, the town of Blum Singapore is truly in the national spotlight, with the second World Champion of the year just around the corner.
If you're lucky.
Title battles are a Challenger format, and are even more brutal than the Masters' Sudden Death Tournament, where the only way to decide the winner is for one player to be two rounds ahead of the other.
Otherwise, if you win one game and I return one game, and this tug-of-war continues, then you have to keep playing until the winner is decided.
The final of the longest challenge in history took place more than 100 years ago, and the two players fought for three days before the results were achieved.
HOWEVER, THIS SHOULD NOT BE THE CASE IN TODAY'S GAME, TONY'S PHYSICAL CONDITION HAS A SERIOUS PROBLEM, WHICH IS ALREADY KNOWN TO THE WORLD, AND MANY PEOPLE ARE SPECULATING THAT TONY MAY ONLY HAVE TWO OR THREE YEARS TO GO.
Before the race, there was news that the organizing committee had suggested that the final of the title match be moved to Napoli, so as to avoid TONY's fatigue. Of course, this is unconventional, but many fans of the game are in favor of it.
TONY LATER REJECTED THE SUGGESTION.
He insisted on coming to Blum Cathedral in person.
The press conference had begun, and Yang Hai was sitting in the press room, and the seat to his right was still empty.
TONY WAS LATE.
Being late for the press conference is actually nothing to TONY, and even if TONY doesn't show up, the reporters are understandable, as long as they don't be late for the game.
The press office was silent.
NO ONE WAS WILLING TO START THE PRESS CONFERENCE IN TONY'S ABSENCE, SO THEY SIMPLY KEPT SILENT.
Yang Hai rarely encounters such a situation, he is at the center of the conversation wherever he goes, and the reporters are like seabirds following a giant ship, looking for fish food from the split waves, firmly surrounding him.
But today he seems to have been forgotten.
Yang Hai knew what the Tao was for.
It's not just the journalist who is absent-minded, he's also absent-minded.
HE WAS WORRIED ABOUT TONY'S PHYSICAL CONDITION.
TONY'S LATE ARRIVAL FOR THE PRESS CONFERENCE GAVE YANG HAI A FEELING THAT IT WAS NOT VERY GOOD. There can be no one in this game world, but judging from the current situation, it is impossible to miss TONY. After King Nuo left, for a period of time, the major consortia were ready to move, causing a lot of turmoil, and professional players were anxious one by one, and old players such as TIGER suppressed them everywhere like fighting fires, trying their best to maintain order until TONY returned to Kloto. After the formation of the Privy Council, this world can be regarded as pure.
When Yang Hai was thinking absentmindedly, there was a sudden commotion outside.
HE LOOKED UP AND SAW TONY COMING FROM THE DOOR OF THE HALL, FOLLOWED BY A YOUNG MAN THAT YANG HAI HAD NEVER SEEN BEFORE.
TONY'S ENTRY INTO THE HALL CAUSED A COMMOTION AMONG THE REPORTERS, BUT NO ONE SPOKE. TONY STOPPED THE YOUNG MAN'S SUPPORT, WALKED OVER STEP BY STEP, AND SAT BESIDE YANG HAI.
Yang Hai hadn't seen TONY for a while, and it was still a snow-white spotless linen robe. AND A AURA OF SILENCE, BUT TONY LOOKS EVEN THINNER THAN HE HAD BEEN A FEW MONTHS EARLIER.
The press officer motioned for the press conference to begin, and for a moment there was an awkward silence in the hall.
Reporters don't usually get to interview TONY, but when the opportunity is in front of them. But everyone stopped talking.
"Let me say a few words." TONY COUGHED LIGHTLY, ALTHOUGH THE VOICE WAS VERY SOFT, BUT YANG HAI, WHO WAS BESIDE TONY, HEARD A SLIGHT BUZZING IN TONY'S CHEST.
This made him even more worried.
"Yesterday I made a decision." TONY SAID LIGHTLY: "BECAUSE OF MY HEALTH, I AM NO LONGER SERVING AS A DEACON IN THE PRIVY COUNCIL OF KLOTTO. I'm going to leave this job to Patrick to do. ”
Everyone was stunned, and Yang Hai couldn't believe what he heard.
"What did you say?" Yang Hai couldn't help but ask. "You want to ...... Outgoing? ”
TONY NODDED KINDLY AT YANG HAI AND SMILED.
"But...... Patrick...... Who is it? Yang Hai's question came out to most people's hearts.
"Pat. Say hello to everyone. TONY SAID SOFTLY.
THE YOUNG MAN BEHIND TONY ANSWERED, PICKED UP THE MICROPHONE ON TONY'S DESK, AND LOOKED UP AT THE STUNNED REPORTERS IN THE PRESS ROOM.
"I'm Patrick? LOTINO, MY ID IS 7SWORD. ”
There was no emotion on Patrick's calm face, and he introduced himself very simply.
THE REPORTERS WERE STILL ASKING AGAIN, BUT TONY SHOOK HIS HEAD, NOT WANTING TO SAY MORE, AND SIGNALED TO THE PRESS OFFICER TO LEAVE THE SCENE.
"I've been looking forward to this fight for a few months now and I hope you can have a good performance." TONY SAID TO YANG HAI WHEN HE GOT UP.
"As you wish." Yang Hai nodded-
THE TITLE BATTLE CHALLENGE FINAL WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A BIG EVENT IN THE GAMING WORLD, ESPECIALLY SINCE THE TWO FINALISTS THIS YEAR WERE TONY AND POSEIDON, AND THE ATMOSPHERE BEFORE THE TOURNAMENT SHOULD HAVE BEEN HOT, BUT NOW EVERYONE HAS NOTHING TO LOOK FORWARD TO.
It's not that I don't look forward to it, but I can't take care of it.
THE NEWS THAT TONY IS NO LONGER IN CHARGE OF THE PRIVY COUNCIL IS LIKE RIDING AN ORBITING PHOTON SATELLITE, AND IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME, IT HAS CIRCLED THE EARTH AGAIN AND AGAIN. EVERYBODY'S TALKING ABOUT IT, TALKING ABOUT TONY'S ABDICATION, AND THAT NAME YOU'VE NEVER HEARD OF, PATRICK? Lotino.
AFTER TONY LEFT THE PRESS CONFERENCE, YANG HAI WAS ALSO UPSET BY THE NEWS AND DIDN'T WANT TO DEAL WITH REPORTERS, SO HE ALSO LEFT.
The two male protagonists left, and the press conference was opened, and after the reporters broke up, the news was immediately transmitted back to their respective media.
And so things began to ferment.
In the player's rest area, Yang Hai's eyes kept falling on the opposite side.
IT'S NOT TONY ON THE OTHER SIDE, IT'S PATRICK STANDING NEXT TO TONY.
This ID is the guy from 7SWORD.
No matter how Yang Hai looks at it, he thinks this guy is disappointing.
In fact, Patrick has thick eyebrows and big eyes, thoughtful facial features, and a peaceful expression, which is quite eye-catching, but Yang Hai looked at it with the standard of TONY's successor, and immediately felt that this guy was extremely mediocre.
TONY'S SUCCESSOR. No matter what, it should be a strange person facing Bingyi, even if it's not an eight-foot tall man, a macho man with a waist circumference of eight feet, at least there must be some impressive characteristics, right?
Yang Hai is not a person who likes to judge people by their appearance, and he is inevitably a little disappointed when evaluating Patrick, and it is conceivable what media reporters will say about this matter.
YANG HAI THOUGHT ABOUT THINGS, HIS EYES WERE A LITTLE SLUGGISH, AND TONY SUDDENLY SAID: "POSEIDON, DON'T THINK ABOUT PATRICK ANYMORE." ”
Yang Hai was taken aback.
"Focus. Calm down. TONY SAID GENTLY, "IF YOU ALWAYS THINK ABOUT SOMETHING THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE GAME, MAYBE YOU WILL LOSE THE GAME." ”
Yang Hai was used to arguing with Visconti, and immediately sneered at each other: "Is that so, but your body probably can't withstand a protracted battle." Even if you have an hour's break at noon, will you be able to hold on to it in the evening? ”
TONY SMILED AND DIDN'T SPEAK.
Patrick was so angry that he was - boy, do you know who you're talking to?
Yang Haigang also felt a little inappropriate after speaking, but Patrick glared at him like this, and he also glared back unceremoniously.
Patrick. Who are you, I've never heard of you, nobody.
Originally, Yang Hai was upset because this guy took over the retirement of Tony from the Privy Council, and after the two of them made eye contact. He was even more upset with Patrick.
ALTHOUGH PATRICK IS UNKNOWN, HE CAN BE SO VALUED BY TONY, AND HE IS NATURALLY A GENIUS. Patrick is also arrogant, thought. Your level is just a tie with me, and you dare to let go of big words in front of Mr. like this, which is really ashamed. Shameless.
Originally, Yang Hai's repeated provocations to Klotto made Patrick very unhappy, and as a result, he looked down on Yang Hai even more.
Two of you, you stare at me, I stare at you, and neither of you will take their eyes off first.
TONY CLOSED HIS EYES, BUT AS IF HE COULD SEE WHAT WAS HAPPENING BEHIND HIM, TONY SAID SOFTLY, "PAT, DON'T MESS AROUND." ”
PATRICK SNORTED UNCONVINCED, BUT HE DIDN'T DARE TO DISOBEY TONY'S ORDER, TURNED HIS HEAD, AND SAID HATEFULLY: "IF YOU ARE UNHAPPY, FIND AN OPPORTUNITY TO COME TO SOLO ONE DAY, SOLO WHATEVER YOU WANT, WHEN THE TIME COMES, I WANT TO SEE IF YOU CAN STILL BE AS VIGOROUS AS YOU ARE NOW." ”
Yang Hai's eyes widened, and he was angry, there was still someone in this game world who dared to talk to him? I don't know if he is known as the king of heads-up.
"Don't do it, I think it's all for today." Yang Hai stared. "Don't beat you—"
"You're stupid." PATRICK SNORTED: "YOU'RE GOING TO LOSE TO MR. TONY IN A WHILE, DON'T LOSE WITH ME SOLO AGAIN, SAYING IT'S BECAUSE YOU'RE IN A BAD MOOD BECAUSE YOU LOST THE TITLE." ”
Yang Hai can also be regarded as eloquent, but Patrick was so angry that he couldn't speak.
"Pat!" TONY COUGHED HEAVILY. "What are your words?"
PATRICK GAVE YANG HAI A BLANK LOOK AND HAMMERED TONY'S BACK, BUT HE DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING ANYMORE.
Yang Hai is angry, but you are well-trained and have a strong ability to control your emotions. He knew that he couldn't be distracted anymore and had to start concentrating, so he closed his eyes and rested—
On the field outside the players' lounge, Adams was talking about Patrick.
"I JUST GOT INFORMATION ABOUT PATRICK FROM THE INTELLIGENCE DEPARTMENT OF THE E-TYPE CLUB, AND BY THE WAY, I WOULD LIKE TO THANK THE TERRY BOSS FOR HIS STRONG INTELLIGENCE SKILLS." Adams shook a piece of paper in his hand, "Patrick is a native of Turin, Italy, born in a middle-class family in Italy, his father is the conductor of the symphony orchestra, and his mother is a Skynet engineer. Patrick was admitted to Bird's Play Academy at the age of 6 and graduated at the age of 10, qualifying for further study at the Academy of Discipline with a mediocre grade. During his studies at the Seminary, Patrick's grades were not outstanding, and at the age of 17, he was expelled from the Seminary after a confrontation with a professor in a confrontation with his ...... And then there was no news of him......" Adams rolled his eyes as he read this, Nima, what kind of biographical information is this. It seems that this Patrick is still a bad teenager, and even the professor of the Discipline Academy dares to beat him.
And in the three years that followed, where did this Patrick go, and there was no ...... in the information
Adams was confused.
"Oh, oh! Mr. TONY came out of the players' lounge, and it was time for the competition. ”
WHEN TONY'S FACE APPEARED ON THE BIG SCREEN, THE ENTIRE BLUNG CATHEDRAL BURST INTO STORMY APPLAUSE. Fans of the game are applauding their gods.
WITH THUNDEROUS CHEERS, TONY WALKED TO A SILVER PEDESTAL NEXT TO THE COMPETITION ROOM AND REMOVED A NECKLACE FROM HIS NECK.
It's not right to say it's a necklace, it's a ring, tied with a rope and hung around the neck.
TONY HAS THREE MORE OF THE SAME RINGS.
THE OTHER THREE WERE WORN ON HIS FINGERS, BUT THIS ONE WAS THE RING, WHICH TONY TIED AROUND HIS NECK.
Each ring represents a title – Mahatma, Prophet, Divine General, and Heavenly King.
TONY WON THE RING THAT REPRESENTED THE KING OF HEAVEN.
TONY PLACED THE RING ON TOP OF THE SILVER PILLAR, AND THEN WALKED BACK TO THE COMPETITION ROOM, WHERE YANG HAI WAS ALREADY WAITING IN THE COMPETITION ROOM OPPOSITE.
If he can defeat TONY today, the ring will be his.
Every year today, he will also sit here, take off his ring, and face the challenges of newcomers, just like Tony today.
Yang Hai carefully adjusted the mouse and keyboard, moved his finger joints, and scene after scene emerged in front of him.
When he was a child, he trained with hardship as pleasure and the master's careful teaching, which accompanied him through the Taihang Mountain and Zizhu for more than ten years......
At this time, what is TONY thinking?
Time flowed like mercury little by little, fine, slow and heavy, just half an hour, but it seemed like a long wait, and finally, when the time came, the referee began to type.
“READY?”
“READY,GL。”
YANG HAI AND TONY REPLIED AT THE SAME TIME. (To be continued.) )
