Chapter 83 - Official Competition (4)
Chapter 83: Official Competition (4)
Morning, 8:00 am.
All the examinees finished their breakfast and were led by the head examiner to the hall on the first floor to prepare for today’s official competition.
The examinees’ families were all asked to leave and the sixth floor dormitory and the second floor cafeteria were sealed off.
“Everyone should be here.”
The bald Chief Examiner walked to the front door and stopped before turning around, he glanced at the examinees. “There’s still half an hour before the official competition begins. There are 20 seeded contestants and 12 advanced contestants in the group arena. There are a total of 32 people competing on the same stage. Among them, there are 16 people in the odd-numbered group and 16 people in the even-numbered group. If they win five matches in a row, they will be able to win the Champion Crown.”
His voice paused, the examiner took out a stack of documents from his pocket. “Everyone is very clear about the detailed examination rules, so I won’t go into details. Now, I will send you a battle form. Your opponents for the next match will be written on it as a reference.”
Hearing this, the examinees were slightly agitated.
“Before sending you the battle form, call out the roll according to the rules. Number 01, Wang Baoqiang.”
The examinees: “…”
“Wang Baoqiang?” The Chief Examiner frowned and repeated, “If you hear him, shout.”
“…” The examinees remained silent.
“Where’s Wang Baoqiang? Is he not here?”
The examinees looked at each other.
“No.”
“Examiner, Wang Baoqiang is not here.”
“I don’t see Wang Baoqiang?”
“Who saw him before?”
“I don’t see him.”
“I saw him when I was eating in the restaurant this morning…”
Looking at the examinees who were discussing animatedly, the Chief Examiner’s expression was solemn. He turned his head and said to his assistant, “Give him a call.”
“Yes.”
The Deputy Examiner took out his special cell phone and dialed Wang Baoqiang’s number. He then turned on the speakerphone.
Du–
“Hello?”
“This is the official team of the Qingcheng College Entrance Examination. May I ask where you are at the moment, Student Wang Baoqiang?”
“I’m not Wang Baoqiang,” the answer came from the receiver.
“Who are you?”
“I’m his younger brother, Wang Baofei.”
“Wang Scrap…”
“Wang Baofei! Wang Baofei! Wang Baofei! F*ck!”
The Chief Examiner took the phone and glared at the Deputy Examiner. He asked, “Student Wang Baofei, this number should be Wang Baoqiang’s. Why is it in your hands?”
“Isn’t he in the official competition today? He can’t take his phone during the competition and has to hand it over to the examiner team. He didn’t want to give it to you, so he left it with me in advance.”
“Your brother is missing now. Do you know where he is?”
“Missing? That’s too bad. You can help him forfeit.”
The Chief Examiner: “…”
The examinees: “…”
“Student… Student Wang Baofei, please don’t joke around.”
“I’m not joking.” On the other end of the phone, Wang Baofei said seriously, “In our old Wang family, I’m enough as the top scorer.”
Everyone: “…”
“…Every examinee in the official competition is protected by the law. If you know about it but conceal the traces of the contestants, you may be suspected of violating the criminal law.”
“I really don’t know where he is.”
“Then when did you last see him?”
“In the morning, we went to the restaurant to eat. He made two bowls of instant noodles for me.” Wang Baofei mumbled over the phone. “This is too much. Forget about the instant noodles, they were at least cooked yesterday. Today, he made them with water. The key is that the water isn’t boiled yet. What’s the use of having such a big brother…”
“Please tell me the main point.”
“Oh, the main point… The instant noodles are Master Kang’s. One packet is braised beef flavor, and the other packet is seafood flavor. Mix them together and soak them together. Tell me how bad he is.”
“Student Wang Baofei, please tell me the main point!”
“Oh. After eating the noodles, he said that he needed to go to the toilet. He gave me his phone, and I left.”
“Is there more?” the Chief Examiner asked.
“There’s… There’s something else. Can the hot water in your restaurant be properly supplied? Next year, I will also take the College Entrance Examination. I will complain about this kind of service when the time comes…”
Du–
Without waiting for the other party to finish speaking, the Chief Examiner hung up the phone expressionlessly and ordered, “Go to the restaurant and look for it first. If you can’t find it, inform the security office and conduct a search.”
“Yes.”
The Deputy Examiner nodded and left.
The Chief Examiner turned to look at the crowd. “Let’s wait for a while. When Student Wang Baoqiang comes, we will issue the battle list.”
…
Five minutes later, Wang Baoqiang appeared under the escort of a few examiners.
“Chief Examiner.” A Deputy Examiner bowed. “Student Wang Baoqiang has been found. He was locked in the restaurant.”
“Why was he locked in?” The Chief Examiner was puzzled.
“Student Wang Baoqiang went to the bathroom. There was no more paper, so he kept squatting. He wanted to wait for someone to come in before asking that person to bring him paper. Then…” The Deputy Examiner turned around and looked at Wang Baoqiang, whose face was flushed red. “Then, until the restaurant was locked, no one went in.”
“I don’t know which bastard! He took all the rolls of paper! Such a big roll!” Wang Baoqiang said angrily. “Last night, I squatted in that pit. The paper was full. It was gone in the morning. Someone stole this thing! Can’t afford to live anymore?”
The examiners: “…”
The examinees:”…”
Bahuang Yao lowered her head silently, her ears turning red.
Chen Yu shouted angrily, “This kind of person is really annoying.”
“Alright, that’s enough gossip.”
Waving his hand, the bald Chief Examiner signaled Wang Baoqiang to return to the team. Then, he picked up the battle list and said loudly, “Roll call, Number 01, Wang Baoqiang.”
“Here!”
“Number 02, **.”
“Here.”
“Number 03…”
“…”
“Number 08, Zhao Mucha.”
“Here.”
“…”
“Number 13, Ma Li.”
“Yes.”
“…”
“Number 20, Bahuang Yao.”
“Here.” The girl raised her hand nervously.
“Number 21, Chen Yu.”
“Here.”
“Number…”
Soon, all 32 people had finished their roll call.
None of them were absent.
The Chief Examiner nodded and handed the battle form to his deputy.
The Deputy Examiner distributed it to all the examinees.
The examinees took it and looked at their opponents.
[Number 13 Ma Li vs Number 21 Chen Yu]
When he saw this line of information, Chen Yu subconsciously raised his head and looked at Ma Li.
Ma Li also looked at him.
Pa.
Ma Li covered her face in pain. “I knew it. I am Number 13. I knew it might be you… Damn it.”
Chen Yu comforted her. “I will show mercy.”
“Can you study it?” Ma Li came forward and whispered, “If I win… How much should I pay?”
“Five million.”
“That’s too much.”
“How much can you pay?”
“Five hundred thousand.”
“You’re quite rich?” Chen Yu was surprised.
“Not bad.” Ma Li proudly turned her head. “Usually, I’m rich.”
“Not bad.” Nodding, Chen Yu took out his phone. “I recorded the conversation just now. Give me ten thousand yuan, or I’ll report you for playing a fake match.”
Ma Li: “…You’re a real dog.”
