Chapter 9 World Championships (recommended)
August [-]rd, early morning.
Wang Zheng felt something jumping on his face, and opened his eyes in pain. It turned out that it was the energetic Pichu jumping on his face to wake him up.
Seeing that Pichu was making trouble, Wang Zheng pulled the quilt: "Call me in five minutes."
Piqiu waited patiently for 5 minutes. When the time was up, he pulled off Wang Zheng's quilt and slapped his face lightly. Wang Zheng turned over and wrapped the quilt tightly again: "The last 5 minutes is really the last."
Pichu heard his mother outside calling him to have dinner with Wang Zheng, looked at Wang Zheng who was wrapped in a quilt, and decided to wait for the last 5 minutes
Five minutes later, Wang Zheng muttered again: "I swear this is really the last five minutes."
Pichu puffed up his cheeks angrily, and rubbed the two pink circles on his cheeks with his two small hands, which were the parts where electricity was stored, and suddenly there was a "Zizi" sound in the air. After confirming that there was a small electric current in his hand, Pichu put his hand into Wang Zheng's quilt with a smirk, and stretched it towards his neck.
"what!!!"
Wang Zheng's screams could be heard throughout the neighborhood, and the neighbors shook their heads. They didn't expect the easy-going Mr. and Mrs. Wang to beat their son so hard.
With his hair standing up from static electricity, Wang Zheng walked out of the room. He saw Sirona was also helping his mother clean up the dining table.
"How did you come?"
"Didn't you ask me to accompany you to the Elf Center to register for a trainer certificate yesterday? I waited for you for a long time and you didn't come. If you didn't answer your calls or send text messages, I'll come." Sirona rolled her eyes at him.
Wang Zheng took out his cell phone and saw that there were indeed several missed and unread text messages. He smiled awkwardly: "Hey hey, I'm sorry, I slept too hard."
Last night, as soon as he got home, he couldn't wait to experiment with the waveguide. In the end, he was exhausted and passed out.
"Go and fix your hair, haha." Shirona couldn't help laughing when she saw Wang Zheng's afro.
Wang Zheng glared at Pichu viciously, and Pichu rolled on the back of the Qixi blue bird laughing.
When Sirona had breakfast with Wang Zheng's family, she was full of praise for Wang Zheng's mother's craftsmanship, and she helped clean up diligently after eating, and her mother looked at her with satisfaction.
When going out, my mother even winked at Wang Zheng: "Take it!"
Wang Zheng: ".I'm not yet an adult, don't force me to fall in love early!"
When Wang Zheng and Sirona walked to the elf center on the red roof, there were already a lot of people lined up here, most of them were newcomer trainers who hatched elves at the ceremony yesterday.
When they saw Wang Zheng, they greeted him one after another. As the gym owner's son, Wang Zheng is quite well-known here, and Wang Zheng also stole the limelight at last night's ceremony, so it's hard not to be famous.
Wang Zheng also responded to them with a smile. Everyone prayed for him and Pichu last night, and he will never forget these kindnesses.
At this time, some people in the Elf Center also recognized the beautiful girl next to Wang Zheng as Sirona. This high school student who had been on CCTV a few times was still very recognizable.
Wang Zheng's keen sense of hearing heard others discussing in a low voice: "The two of them stand together and they are considered a man and a woman."
"No, the king's son has not shown his talent yet, and Sirona's talent must be higher, so it should be a woman with a manly appearance." Someone retorted.
"I don't think what you said is right. Sirona is beautiful and talented. She should have the appearance of a woman. Ah, it's right to have both talent and appearance." Another person answered.
Wang Zheng was very helpful when he heard it at first, but there was a black line after hearing it, so I don’t deserve Hirona at all, right? What’s even more annoying is that what they said is quite right after thinking about it, and now I really don’t deserve it.
"What's the matter with you?" The careful Sirona noticed that Wang Zheng seemed a little unhappy.
"It's nothing." Wang Zheng pouted slightly, and now there was another reason to suspend the salted fish plan.
Sirona tilted her head, wondering why Wang Zheng was suddenly unhappy.
At this time, bursts of cheers came from the TV hanging on the wall of the Elf Center. The sound immediately attracted everyone's attention. Wang Zheng and Sirona also turned their heads to look. The situation in a large-scale battle field was being broadcast live on the TV.
"Hello, audience friends, this is the Quartz Arena on the Quartz Plateau, and the last battle celebration of the World Championship will be held here soon." The voice of the commentary sounded.
"This is also the last time for all players participating in this World Championship to quickly improve their points and rankings. It can be expected that this battle celebration will definitely be unprecedentedly intense."
"Look, the contestants have entered the arena." The camera shot to the center of the arena, and all the contestants were already standing there. They were all looking at the big screen above the arena, waiting for the result of the lottery.
"Ah, the lottery results are out, the first round is"
After the lottery results came out, the commentators and the audience were excited together, and the players in the field also watched their opponents gearing up.
"What kind of game is this?" Wang Zheng asked Sirona, and he really hadn't seen the relevant content when he checked the information before.
"You don't know about the World Championships??"
Sirona was surprised, "Are you someone who traveled from another world? You don't even know about the biggest game in the world."
Wang Zheng felt a "thud" in his heart, so do people in this world have mind reading skills?Why are all his thoughts being seen through?
He stiffened his neck and quibbled: "Huh? I wasn't a trainer before, so it's normal if I didn't understand it, just like you don't wear paper when you don't go to the toilet."
"I will take it." Sirona looked at Wang Zheng calmly, and took out a pack of papers and shook them in front of him.
"Cough cough cough..." Wang Zheng almost choked to death, "It's a metaphor, I'm making a metaphor."
"What kind of metaphor are you talking about? Paper can only be used to go to the toilet. Even if it's a metaphor, I have to take it with me." Sirona continued to hold the paper and waved it in front of Wang Zheng.
Wang Zheng looked up at the sky (the ceiling), wondering if we could continue our conversation today.
"Pfft." Sirona laughed seeing Wang Zhengsheng's loveless look:
"Okay, this is a celebration of the World Championship. The World Championship is the highest stage in the world. Four years are a season. This year is the third year of this season. This time next year will be the final."
"The sixteen strongest master trainers in the world will decide the final world champion, and that champion will also be the strongest trainer for the next four years."
"The conditions for participating in the World Championships are very loose. You must become a professional trainer and register online, so you can be considered as a contestant."
Wang Zheng was ashamed when he heard that, the condition for the competition was to become a professional trainer, but Sirona actually said that the conditions for the competition are very loose, and people are more popular than people.
Not noticing Wang Zheng's expression, Sirona continued:
"After the competition, each contestant will get an initial [-] points. Competitors can use various means to find and challenge other contestants. The loser will transfer the points to the winner. The higher the points, the higher the ranking, and the zero points will lose the qualification."
"Based on the points ranking, the contestants are divided into four levels: general level, as long as they sign up, they are considered general level."
"Super level, those ranked [-]th to [-]th are all super level."
"Advanced level, the 17th to [-]th are all advanced levels."
"Master class, the top sixteen are all master class, the top trainers in the world."
"There will be four battle celebrations during the season, which is the one on TV now. The battle celebration is the best time for contestants to improve their points and rankings. Of course, the requirement for participating in the battle celebration is to obtain any eight badges from all gyms in the world."
"Probably that's the case, do you understand the king who goes to the toilet without paper?" Sirona said with a smile.
"What the hell is Wang Jun who goes to the toilet without paper?" Wang Zheng wiped off his sweat, "You will participate in the World Championships, right?"
Wang Zheng saw that Sirona's eyes were shining with excitement when she was explaining to him, and he also thought that the news media he had seen before were all guessing when Sirona would become the world champion.
"Of course! This is my dream. I plan to sign up for the competition after I graduate from high school, and participate in the competition while going to college." Sirona clenched her fists excitedly.
"Aren't you going on a trip?"
"Yes, I'll go when I'm in college. I want to choose a combat major. The combat major encourages students to embark on a journey." Sirona has already planned her future path.
"By the way, Wang Jun, aren't you going to participate?"
"Me?" Wang Zheng instinctively refused. What a joke, he definitely didn't want to participate in such a troublesome competition. It was both points and rankings. It was too troublesome and seriously affected the Xianyu project.
But he suddenly thought of his father's expectations, and also thought of the evaluation of others when he and Sirona stood together just now.
"I will also participate." Wang Zheng said with a sigh in his heart.
"Then we'll be rivals from now on." Sirona took Pichu off Wang Zheng's head, hugged her and rubbed her vigorously.
"Pi Chiu!!" Pichu also called out energetically. He also wanted to participate in the competition. Now that he was watching the competition on TV, his blood boiled and he wished he could go to the competition with Wang Zheng immediately.
"It's our turn." After watching the wonderful game for a while, Wang Zheng was finally in line.
"Hello, do you want to register as a newcomer trainer or restore the elves' strength?" A person with beautiful pink hair and wearing a nurse skirt in front of the counter asked Wang Zheng, with a gentle smile on her pretty face.
"Hello, Miss Joy, I'll register as a newcomer trainer, and I'll give Pichu a physical examination." Wang Zheng took out his ID card, and Sirona put Pichu on the counter.
"Okay, please wait a moment, your Pichu looks healthy." Ms. Joy hugged Pichu and put it on a cart, and then the cart was pushed to the back room by the "pink devil" beside her, Ji Lidan, for a medical examination. She took Wang Zheng's ID card to operate on the computer.
"Your identity as a trainer has been successfully registered, and now the elf centers all over the world can check your identity information through this card. Congratulations, you have officially become a trainer." Miss Joy handed the card to Wang Zheng with a smile.
"Thank you." Wang Zheng checked his ID card.
"Wait there for a while, Pichu will be out soon."
"Okay." Wang Zheng and Sirona walked aside and waited.
About ten minutes later, a small Joey came out pushing a small cart. She looked about the same age as Wang Zheng and the others. She should be Joey who had just come out of the elf doctor training school for an intern.
"You two have such a good relationship." Seeing this scene, the small Miss Joy smiled gently at Wang Zheng.
Being looked at by the beautiful Miss Joy like this, Wang Zheng was a little shy.
I heard Joey continue to say: "Your Pichu is very healthy, or too healthy. Its data does not look like a newborn elf. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would not believe it. It was born last night. It must have been taken care of by you when it was an elf egg. By the way, its characteristic is still a relatively rare lightning rod characteristic. Congratulations."
Wang Zheng scratched his head, he didn't have the nerve to tell her, in fact, the elf eggs he received just yesterday hatched yesterday, and he didn't take care of them at all.
Sirona also covered her mouth and snickered, she just wanted to see Wang Zheng in distress.
"Are you Miss Sirona?" the trumpet Joey asked.
"Well, it's me, are you?"
"My name is Qiao Yiyan. I used to study at Sinnoh Regional School of Nursing. During an inter-school league, I helped you take care of Yuanlu Shark." Qiao Yiyan said with a smile.
"You were Miss Joy at that time, and you also taught me nursing knowledge." Sirona suddenly remembered.
"You guys know each other?" Wang Zheng was surprised, what kind of fate is this, it can happen.
Sirona and Qiao Yiyan chatted for a long time, until Qiao Yiyan's master, the official Miss Joy of this elf center, asked Qiao Yiyan for help.
Walking outside the Elf Center, Sirona was obviously in a good mood. She was so lucky to be able to meet old people in such a remote place.
Sirona, who was in a good mood, turned her hands behind her back and said to Wang Zheng:
"Okay, from now on, Wang Jun can be regarded as an official trainer. You and Pichu will train with me tomorrow. I am very strict during the training."
Wang Zheng really wanted to say that Pichu was just born, so he couldn't train immediately. Of course, the most important thing was that he wanted to be a salty fish for the last two days, after all, there would not be many opportunities to be a salty fish.
But after Pichu heard Sirona's words, he flipped back over Wang Zheng's head in excitement, not like a newborn elf at all.
After watching the battle celebration just now, it couldn't help but want to train and fight quickly.
Wang Zheng: "..." So in the end, Xianyu was not given a chance for two days, right? That's too much! !
