Knowing each other with you [Sword Three]

The Rising Star League is divided into three stages: elimination, round robin and final.In the first stage of the knockout competition, all teams are divided into several groups, enter the specially adjusted trial ground, complete the task, and take the [-] teams with the shortest time to enter the next stage.The knockout round is similar to Clemenza's annual trial. This time is a large-scale elimination stage. Even if it is the luck of a blind cat and a dead mouse, as long as the time is short, you can advance to the second stage of the round robin.

After entering the round robin, one hundred teams will be divided into groups by lottery, and they will face off in pairs. They will compete in a limited arena, and if they go out of the range, they will be considered as losers.During the round robin, the last ten teams will be selected to enter the final round.

The mission of the finals will go to the trial site again, but this time it will be a realistic interstellar landform, and at the same time, the beast with a chip will be added. It is several levels more difficult than the knockout rounds and trials, and it is also much more dangerous. It is close to actual combat.Winning the Rising Star League means that you can walk out of the school gate at any time and face the real and cruel real world.The B beast is a large carnivorous creature with a wide range of distribution in the interstellar space and strong adaptability, and has a strong sense of territory.Being able to enter the top ten is already a leader of the new generation, so in order to protect them, the B beasts used for the competition are implanted with artificial chips. Once the situation is critical, relevant personnel can use the chip to suppress and control the B beasts to ensure that the contestants life safety.

Iris has already collected this information very well, including various data from previous years, age composition, gender composition, and ability trends, a lot of analysis charts, and Xiang Zhi only listened to the information during the meeting. As a general rule, although she listened carefully, her brain went on strike without her control. Charaman and Celine would only close their eyes, drool and nod when Iris spoke.Everyone's attitude is very correct.

It's rare to see Ivan look so serious. When discussing certain data with Iris, he disagrees, stands up and rolls his arms...

...then stretched out and continued to sit down and have a heated discussion.

Claude seemed to understand everything, and quickly gave instructions based on what Iris said. Iris pushed his glasses from time to time and took notes quickly.

Seriously guys, they're all handsome.

Oh what data?Ah, what's the probability?Um, what trend?

You are handsome, whatever you say is right, as long as labor and management are obedient =, =

Anyway, being called stupid is not just once or twice a day or two. Xiang Zhi has accepted her brain that is not good at thinking, and only focuses on doing what she can do.

So the day before the knockout round, after Claude said that the two in the living room had "communicated" for a while, Xiang Zhi put down the collection of poems, took out all kinds of ingredients, seasonings, and utensils she had stored from McCann, and made a sumptuous dinner.It is a habit of Chinese people to gather the whole family to make dumplings during festivals.Even though life is getting better and better, there are many varieties of quick-frozen brains sold in supermarkets, and the taste is not bad, but many families still keep this habit.

The Chinese New Year is a day of reunion. Even if the dumplings are ugly and unpalatable, it is more important for the family to talk and laugh together and have an atmosphere.

When Xiang Zhi came to another world, there was no traditional Lunar New Year, no traditional festivals, and no family.Taking advantage of today's Ivan and McCann finally getting married, I couldn't help but want to make dumplings.The advantage here is that the technology is relatively advanced. Put water and flour into the noodle machine, and put vegetables, meat and seasoning into the stuffing machine, and you can start wrapping in about ten minutes.There are also machines for making dough, but all the work is handed over to the machines, and life will be full of the cold taste of steel.

Xiang Zhi rolled up his sleeves and started making dough, Claude took over after looking at it twice, his movements were swift as if he had been a pastry chef for ten years.Since Xiang Zhi started to prepare, all the members gathered around curiously, so the scene shifted from the small kitchen to the living room where McCann cleaned up the footwashing water.There were many people, and there were many boys, and all of them were supernatural beings, and they consumed a lot and ate a lot, so except for Ivan, every boy got a small ball of dough, which they kneaded in a novel way.Both Claude and McCann’s doughs are decent doughs, while Iris’s is a perfect sphere. Charaman baked half of the dough until it was burnt black on the spur of the moment, and Ivan used the remaining half to knead a lifelike dough. Wang Zai, the dough version of the robot, also used his MS lipstick to color the two antennas above his head.

Xiang Zhi led the girls to prepare several fillings with different flavors. It was still the old rule. Let her demonstrate first. Everyone followed suit, rolling the skin, wrapping the stuffing, pinching the edges, and then various... An army of charming and coquettish dumplings is on the scene.

Xiang Zhi's dumplings are traditional dumplings with big belly. At home, she will make dumplings with her parents when she is free on weekends. Now she is not unfamiliar with the craftsmanship. The chubby dumplings are arranged one by one, which looks cute; Ivan's dumplings are on the side. The folds are like lace, so delicate that they look like works of art, but they are all lying down charmingly; McCann’s dumplings are very big, as big as Xiang Zhi’s fist, and they are dumpling-shaped buns; Claude’s dumpling slices Thin fillings are big, better than Xiang Zhi, a master; some of Mary’s dumplings are open, and some are torn. During the queue, there are not many wrapped, so I go to the side to lay them; Charaman After roasting the two dumpling corpses, she was driven to boil water. Celine couldn't learn how to pinch the edges, and after making two dumplings into glutinous rice balls, she was also driven aside to play with the dough version of Wang Zai.

The scariest person is Iris. His dumplings are all the same length, like fake dumplings, like that kind of plastic model, every wrinkle and every arc are all made of the same mold.

Xiang Zhi felt that it is impossible for humans to make all the same dumplings, either fake dumplings or fake humans.

So Iris is a dummy.

He might be a dumpling machine that looks like a human(...).

No matter how it tastes or looks, whether it is dumplings or not, whether the person sitting next to it is a real human being, this meal is an unprecedented joy.It is a happy thing to have a meal of dumplings with friends and family, whether it is a celebration, or just a simple gathering. It is a happy thing to be able to eat and drink together, toast together, and laugh together.

Since the knockout round was about to start the next day, the banquet ended early, and McCann took Mary out as he did when he came, and the members of the Blade Squad went back to their rooms to rest.

The knockout round lasted for two weeks, and the blades were the first to enter.In fact, there are advantages and disadvantages in the order of precedence. Entering early can prepare for the round robin earlier, but entering later can also have more time to collect information.For Xiang Zhi and the others, it doesn't matter. They have Iris and Ivan, so there is no need to worry about intelligence collection, and the round-robin competition is all about strength, and it doesn't matter if the preparation time is one day or one week longer.

It is still a circular venue, with several entrances opened in different directions. There will be a lottery at the entrance, and then queue up to enter the venue according to the order of the lottery.Clemenza's second team heard that the knockout match will be held the day after tomorrow, so as soon as Xiang Zhi's school uniform with a gray background and gold pattern appeared on the stage, all the surrounding eyes gathered.Clemenza is a famous school among the famous high schools with supernatural powers, and he is the focus of attention wherever he goes.

Teams from various colleges and universities whispered in languages ​​and dialects from all over the world. Xiang Zhineng understood more than half of what he could even guess.

Claude went to draw lots, and Xiang Zhi stood together, surrounded by scattered groups of three or five.A few men and women in dark brown school uniforms stood not far from them in front of them, staring at this side with contemptuous eyes, saying something quickly, with their tongues parted.

It was from Sneiberg.

Xiang Zhi glanced at Ivan secretly, seeing him with a low face and clenched fists.

The people in Schneeburg speak a unique local language, and some pronunciations can only be made by their forked tongues. However, although Xiang Zhi can't pronounce those few sounds, it is not a problem to understand ordinary conversations and simple communication. of.Schneeburg is a tourist attraction. As a translator, she has taught herself the language of Sneeborough, and she has no fewer than ten orders.

Listening to the rapid communication of those people, it was not difficult for Xiang Zhi to guess that they knew Ivan.

"Hey, I didn't wear a skirt today..."

"Hiss, embarrassing..."

"Hiss, yes, after all, there are so many people... you can't lose face to the entire interstellar world."

"Hiss...it's obviously a man..."

"Hiss... Dressed up all day long..."

Hearing this, Xiang Zhi was not happy.What's wrong with wearing women's clothing?Whether it's a transvestite or a personal hobby, why don't you just sit here and talk about your tongue if you have half a cent to do with them?Girls can wear shorts, which law stipulates that boys can't wear skirts?Xiang Zhi listened to the group of people in shi yellow school uniforms gossiping, feeling more and more upset. Before she could react, Claude had already drawn lots, and the team began to line up to enter. Those wearing shi Many people also lined up in the queue, and there was no time to gossip.

Hmph, don't let labor and management meet you. (#￣︿￣)

Claude was also lucky, and the Blade line was relatively front. Half an hour into the opening, a group of six people stepped into the knockout field.Watching the transparent film-like entrance gradually disappear behind him, the memory of the trial is still vivid in his mind.The Jianglong team set a record for freshmen breaking through the E area. This time, the Blade team can also use the experience at that time. Although the field is more complicated and the opponents are stronger, the average ability level of their team has also increased by two times compared to before. level, the feasibility of the plan is very high.

"Iris, Ivan, how are you?" Claude asked.

"This time the plan can be adjusted a little bit. We continue to move towards ten o'clock, which is the closest to the first target point. The crossing dragon team broadcast live during the trial period, so the method used before is equivalent to the whole interstellar open Yes, it is not ruled out that a team with a similar configuration will have the opportunity to enter the arena earlier than us. Regarding this, I have a proposal." Ayres said while marking on the map.

"Oh, what proposal?"

Iris pushed his glasses, and the lenses reflected light.

According to Iris's proposal, the Blade team was divided into two groups: one group led by Claude, with Ivan, who has excellent perception, completed the duties of Xiang Zhi in the dragon crossing the river, that is, to go to Iris' mark The other group, led by Charaman, continued to walk in the direction of ten o'clock. This direction is the closest to the first and most likely target point. Charaman and Celine's fighting style is brainless, and they are more likely to encounter other teams on this road, which is convenient for the second group to complete their duties.

Although it is a plain, the grass here is so tall...it is the height of McCann and Claude who can show their shoulders. The second group of Charaman is okay, he can show his head, and his orange hair turns yellow in winter. Among the grass poles, it seems to be just a taller and yellower grass, and then Iris, who can show his glasses, is equivalent to a person outside the grass, and the rest Xiang Zhi and Celine are walking in the grass, surrounded by grass , There is grass in front of my eyes, and grass is all over my head when the wind blows the grass.

If you walk a few steps slower, you will get lost, and Xiang Zhiquan can keep up with his teammates around him by relying on the green dots displayed on Ivan's APP.

Iris said that the probability of encountering other teams on this road is greater, so it is really greater.Not long after Claude and Ivan set off, Xiang Zhi heard conversations in R language coming from the grass, very fast and mixed with accents and dialects.When she was taking the R test, she was most flustered about her listening comprehension, because the most famous and deceitful thing about this language is that it speaks very fast and expresses meaning in a roundabout way.

The next second Xiang Zhi noticed the other party, the other party obviously also noticed them.

"R didn't expect it to be completed so quickly, and their method we also..."

"R Shhh! Someone!"

How could someone finish it so quickly?

While Xiang Zhi entered the state of preparation for battle, he was on guard against the opponent's actions, while typing quickly on the team channel.Iris and Charaman exchanged a look, and stood still.

After a stalemate for half a minute, the opposite party said in a somewhat crappy E language, "Hello, I know you are the famous Clemenza Blade Team. We have no chance of winning in a head-to-head confrontation, so we want to exchange information on mission items. I hope you can let all of us leave safely. This way we can save a lot of time, can't we?"

The captain of the other party walked slowly to a place where the grass was sparse with his hands raised, his expression sincere.

"Oh, you got the information so quickly?" Charaman asked suspiciously.The captain of the opponent came out, and there were two talking players behind him, half-hidden in the grass.

"Yes, yes, we have a team member here who is naturally good at searching things. We can provide precise coordinate points, oh, we divided into two ways, searched separately, and the opposite side found the coordinates first, and they are rushing in that direction at the same time, since When we meet you, then we have to give up the first coordinate." Seeing Charaman and the others looking behind him suspiciously, the other captain explained sincerely.

"It seems that you have detected more than one?" Iris asked.

"Yes yes, let me give you one, we will go to the other, so that we can avoid unnecessary conflicts and save time, why not do it?"

Charaman turned back, discussed with Iris and Celine, then turned to the opposite side and said, "Yes."

"Okay, then I will contact my teammates, please wait a moment." The captain over there said with a smile, and then connected to his teammate's communication, "I got the R item, we will get out first when we encounter a strong team, and then send your location Meet again. Prepare gifts and wait for guests to come."
