Rubik's Cube World

ps: Thanks to "Boring Lord" for the valuable monthly ticket, and thanks to "Seckill Tudou" for the tip.

"Clang, clang, clang..."

There was a gentle knock on the door.

"Sir, the conference is about to take an exam, please go to the hall to gather."

Before Ito Cheng in the room could speak, the voice of the staff knocking on the door came in, reminding him.

Then footsteps sounded, and he walked to another room, and continued to knock on the door to remind the fighters inside to go to the hall.

At this time, it was the fourth day after Ito Cheng boarded the aircraft carrier.

Ito Cheng got up, walked slowly to the door, opened the door and walked out.

"I was just going to call you." As soon as he went out, he and he were wearing dark blue loose trousers that were tightly tightened at the hem of the trousers, and a red sleeveless, waistless pullover sports jacket, showing a flat stomach with four-pack abs , Mary in a fur collar jacket and dark crotch pants with frills, a white Dao uniform top, and a black soft leather protection that should be like armor in archery practice , a head of long black hair simply tied into a high ponytail on the back of the head, Todo Kasumi with a red band on his forehead, and Ito Cheng smiled when they touched each other.

Mary and Todo Kasumi greeted Ito Cheng by nodding and leaning forward respectively.

"Let's go and meet these strong men from all over the world."

Saying that, he closed the door casually, and walked towards the banquet hall where he stayed when he arrived at the aircraft carrier together with Mary and Todo Kasumi.

The distance between the rest area where the room is located and the banquet hall is not far, so it took only a few minutes.The eyes of the three people brightened, and they entered the magnificent banquet hall through the corridor.

At the same time, a large number of men and women who are physically strong, or who faintly exude the aura of fighters, caught Ito Chengsan's eyes.

Among them, the Japanese team that normally appeared in the original book, Dragon Tiger Fist team, Hungry Wolf team, Mercenary team, Superpower team, South Korean team, and Women's Fighters team are familiar.And the natural enemy team where Yagami is located.

As for the unfamiliar.That abounds.

But at this moment, Ito Cheng suddenly stopped walking, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

"What's wrong?" Fujido Kasumi looked at Ito Cheng with some doubts and asked.

"No, it's okay." Ito Cheng shook his head.Keep walking.Casually perfunctory.It's just in his heart at this moment.But it couldn't be suppressed and slightly twitched.

"Damn it, how did those guys appear here!?"

From the corner of Ito Cheng's eyes, he looked at some strangely dressed people in the crowd.

There are six of these strangely dressed people.They are a black-haired young man in a white gi with the sleeves torn off, leaving the fringe exposed, and a blond man in a red gi with the same sleeves torn off, wearing a Japanese sumo wrestler costume with painted faces. The naked fat man in artistic attire, wearing only a pair of red pants, plus a thin and tall bald head dressed like an Indian ascetic, and wearing tights, with a metal mask on his face, and a hole in the back of his head. A guy who rubs a small whip, with a pair of rigid claws in his hands, who can't tell the difference between male and female.

And who else could these people be if they weren't Ken, Ron, Honda, Bison, Dalsim and Feilong in Street Fighter?

"If it develops according to this urgency, wouldn't it mean that there is another world organization secretly? And it is very likely to get together with Sound Nest. After all, both sides have great love for artificial human technology."

Then, Ito Cheng thought of other things.

"I just don't know how strong the Street Fighter characters are. I guess they shouldn't be strong. After all, except for the guy who has a lot of skills, everyone else's moves are very simple, and there shouldn't be some guys who are against the sky. .”

"But speaking of Haogui, I don't know if he's here or not."

Thinking of this, Ito Cheng quickly searched the crowd for a special-looking ghost.It's just that I don't know whether to say it's lucky or what, Ito Cheng didn't find the figure of Goki in the crowd.

But when Ito Cheng was thinking wildly, some people also noticed the three of Ito Cheng who had just entered the banquet hall.

"Hey, he's here too." King said strangely, wearing a women's suit and holding a goblet half filled with red wine.

"Who?" Hearing King's words, the petite girl, who was wearing a white gauze suspender dress and her long hair was simply tied high, followed King's eyes and looked at Ito Cheng and the others, wondering. asked.

She is another member of the female fighter team, born in Itazaki Yuli of the extreme stream.

"Eh? Isn't that Kasumi?" Beside Itazaki Yuri, Mai Shiranui, who was wearing a bright red off-the-shoulder evening dress and her hair was also coiled up high, said in surprise, "How did they get together?" ?”

Immediately, King and Mai Shiranui looked at each other, and they both saw the look of doubt in each other's eyes.

"Mr. Ito?!" At this moment, a crisp low voice sounded, attracting Ito Cheng's attention.

Ito Cheng turned his head.Look in the direction of the sound.Immediately, the figure of Athena Asamiya in a red and pink long-sleeved cloth jacket and pale pink cloth trousers came into his eyes.

On the left and right sides of her, there stood an old man with a big rosaceous nose and a yarmulke in a dark green mandarin jacket, with messy gray hair protruding naturally, and an old man in rice A short-haired young man in gray canvas shorts, a white pullover shirt, and a blue short-sleeved shirt. One of them is holding a wine glass, and the other is holding a dinner plate, drinking wine and stuffing food into his mouth leisurely.

Needless to say.These two are Athena's masters and friends---Zhen Yuanzhai and Shii Quan Chong.

But after hearing Athena's low call.But they all set their eyes on Ito Cheng at the same time.

"It's Athena." Ito Cheng greeted Todo Kasumi and Marie beside him, then walked up to Asamiya Athena, and greeted with a smile.

"Athena, who is he?" Chiken Takashi, who quickly swallowed the food in his mouth, asked with hostility in his eyes.

"This is the boss of my brokerage company. Mr. Ito Cheng." Athena explained.Then he looked at Ito Cheng with a face full of surprise and asked, "Mr. Ito. Why are you here?"

"Guess?" Ito Chengwei smiled.

It's just that when he was talking, Ito Cheng's eyes fell on Zhen Yuanzhai, who was casually drinking, and collided with his glanced eyes.

The eyes of the two touched lightly.Then they each took it back.

"Come to see the conference?" Athena, who didn't notice the performance of Ito Cheng and her master, guessed, "No, so far, except for the service staff, all the people who appeared in this hall were fighters who came to participate in the trials. No other audience exists."

Speaking of this, Athena's expression changed slightly, she looked at Ito Cheng with a shocked face and said, "Could it be..."

"That's right, that's it. I'm also here to participate in this conference, as a contestant." Itocheng affirmed with a smile.

"Ah! Mr. Ito is also a fighter?" Athena asked in surprise.

"Yes." Ito Cheng smiled, "So if you have a chance to fight later, remember to accept it and be merciful."

"Mr. Ito was joking." Athena said embarrassedly.

"Ha ha."

Ito Cheng smiled lightly, didn't say anything, changed the subject, and chatted with Athena Asamiya there.

And in the process, Shii Kensho at the side had an unhappy expression on his face, and crazily ate the food on the table in front of him as if venting.

After another ten minutes or so, a middle-aged man in a black suit walked up to the middle platform under the gaze of everyone, and took a microphone from the staff on the side.

"Ahem." The man coughed twice, drawing the attention of everyone in the banquet hall to himself.

"Welcome everyone. I am the host of this fighting tournament -- Martin. I will explain to you the rules of this competition. First of all, the rules of the preliminaries..."

In the voice of Martin's narration, Ito Cheng and others understood the pre-selection rules of this conference.

The rules are similar to the rules of the King of Fighters game. It is also a three-person team to participate in the competition, and then select the opponent and be assigned to the group by drawing lots. At the same time, the battle is also a three-game two-win method, and the winner You can choose according to your own situation whether to continue to fight or to switch to fight.After two victories, the loser is eliminated, and the winner advances to fight with another winner until the final eight winning teams are selected to enter the rematch.

As for why there are eight teams instead of ten or six, it is entirely because the group consists of eight groups.

Of course, in order to take into account the speed of the qualifiers, there is also a limit on the fighting time - 10 minutes, as soon as 10 minutes are up, no matter how far the two sides have progressed, the single game will be forcibly ended, and then The referee judges which side wins or draws according to the performance status of both sides.

"...I believe that everyone can't wait now, so let's stop gossip and start the drawing of lots for this conference."

As soon as his words fell, two staff members pushing a large white magnetic board and two staff members holding a square cardboard box walked onto the platform and placed the white magnetic board and the cardboard box respectively.

At this time, Ito Cheng also said goodbye to Athena, and joined Kasumi Todo, who had returned from the women's fighters, and Mary, who had chatted with Billy and even Terry for a long time.

"Athena, remember to be careful when you're dating that person." However, at this moment, Zhen Yuanzhai, who had never expressed any opinion on the team of superpowers, suddenly said to Athena beside him.

"Huh?" Athena had a shocked expression on her face when she heard this.

"Let me just say, that guy is not a good person at first glance, you see, even the master said so." Shii Quanchong interjected a little proudly.

"When did you say that?" Athena looked at Shii Kentaka unhappily and said.

"Eh..." Shii Quanchong's expression froze, he turned his head away with a dry laugh, and continued to compete with the food he had eaten on the table.

"Anyway, Athena, remember to be more careful." Zhen Yuanzhai reminded again after the disciples finished playing.

"Yes, master." Although her heart was full of doubts, Athena still responded as she said.

Zhen Yuanzhai, who received a reply from Athena, stopped talking and continued to pick up the wine glass and drink.It's just the corner of the eye, but it always glances over Ito Cheng's body from time to time.

"Kasumi, you go up and draw the lottery later." Ito Cheng, who was not at Lizhen Yuansai's old man, said to Fujido Kasumi.

"Me? Is it suitable?" Fujido Kasumi asked in surprise.

In a general sense, the captain of a team is responsible for things like lottery drawing. , it is unlikely that it will be the turn of ordinary members, because if the lottery is not good, it is easy to be complained by other people in the team, causing disharmony in the team.

"There's nothing inappropriate. Anyway, for us, good or bad smoking is the same." Ito Cheng smiled nonchalantly.

Mary looked up and made no objection.

"That's good." Seeing that neither of them had any objections, Fujido Kasumi nodded and agreed.

The draw was not slow, and soon it was Ito Cheng's team.Todo Kasumi took a deep breath, suppressed the slightly floating tension in his heart, walked up to the platform with a solemn face, reached into the cardboard box, and pulled out a ball.

"number 29."

Fujido Kasumi turned his head and looked at the position of the white magnetic board.According to the rules, the number '29' representing Ito Cheng's team appeared on the edge of the white magnetic board, which is the position of the first vertical line of the eighth group.

And it is not difficult to see from this situation that there are a total of 32 teams participating in this fighting conference.

After a few minutes, all the lottery slots were drawn.

"I didn't expect to meet with the South Korean team." Looking at the numbers representing each team on the white magnetic board, Ito Cheng, who compared them with what he saw in the previous lottery, couldn't help laughing. (To be continued..)
