BXBX NOVEL Chapter 143: Magic lottery 【Subscription】
Under the light of the morning sun, Fengchao, one of the top ten contemporary buildings in Huaguo, is extraordinarily beautiful.
In the auditorium, the audience who came early in the morning sat down and waited for the upcoming opening ceremony.
Today, Fengchao is open to the public free of charge, and anyone can enter after a simple security check, so there are not many spectators who come to the scene.
After a while, the voice of the host station sounded.
"Gentlemen and ladies, please keep quiet! From now on, I hope that everyone will consciously abide by the discipline in the field, and the opening ceremony is about to begin.
I am Wang Lang, the host of the opening ceremony, and I will host it for everyone..."
Wang Lang’s voice was gentle and powerful, clear and sonorous, and he quickly mastered the rhythm of the audience. He quickly introduced the guests and leaders attending the opening ceremony, and then slowly announced the names of the sixty-four participating schools.
"The High School Affiliated to Kyoto University, The High School Affiliated to Magic City University, Zhenhai Middle School, The Affiliated High School of South China Normal School...Shudu Seventh Middle School, Qinghe No. 1 Middle School...Hengshui Middle School...
In this competition, there are a total of 640 high schools participating in the competition, and a total of 640 contestants. They are all the best new generation beast masters in the country. Some of them will surely become the pillars of the motherland in the future.
Now, let the applause invite these future pillars of the motherland to enter. "
As soon as the host finished speaking, there was warm applause, and then Gao Dewei of Kyoto University walked into the venue holding the school\'s flag.
The student teams from other schools suddenly tensed up and stood up neatly.
In front of the team of Qinghe No. 1 Middle School, Yang Wenhan stood up straight, holding tightly with both hands the flagpole embroidered with the Qinghe No. 1 Middle School emblem and flag.
Before Yang Wenhan asked Chen Wen if he wanted to be the captain, and he was willing to give up the captaincy.
Chen Wen refused.
Although his strength has surpassed Yang Wenhan, Chen Wen feels that Yang Wenhan is a competent captain, and he has helped everyone a lot in daily training and life.
Besides, he does not lack the attention brought by the captaincy, nor does he need to use the captaincy of the varsity team to increase his bargaining chips by recommending him to the university.
After a while, the team from Qinghe No. 1 Middle School also walked out of the passage.
When the team walked past the rostrum, Yang Wenhan swung the flagpole forward vigorously.
Suddenly, the flag drew an arc in the air and was swung away. The four characters "Qinghe No. 1 Middle School" on the blue-blue flag suddenly appeared in front of all the leaders, and were also captured by the camera lens.
"The Qinghe No. 1 Middle School team is playing now. They come from Xichuan Province, the land of abundance. They qualified for the national competition with the second place in last year\'s preliminaries..."
Listening to the host\'s introduction, the audience gave Chen Wen and others warm applause and cheers. At the same time, the Xichuan people who watched the live broadcast on the Internet also sent them blessings.
Listening to the endless applause and facing the flickering cameras, Chen Wen and others followed Yang Wenhan to the place where they should stand.
Afterwards, it was the leader’s speech, another leader continued to speak, and the final big leader’s speech...
When the big leader said "I wish this competition a complete success", the students in the field and the audience in the auditorium applauded desperately, for fear that the big leader would say two more points.
Because, if I talk about two more points, it will really be two o\'clock...
Wang Lang also said at the right time: "Thank you for the speech of the leader. Now I invite the Vice Minister of Education Gao Song and the Vice President of the Beast Master Association Xu Shou to continue to host the lottery for everyone!"
There are two important tasks in the opening ceremony, one is the entry and introduction of the participating teams, and the other is to draw all the participating teams\' matches.
The operation of lottery drawing is very simple. Guests only need to call out "start" and "stop", and the voice control device will automatically start and stop lottery drawing, and then quickly get a result.
Soon, the first school team drawn out was born.
"Team No. 1, Hengshui High School!"
"Hengshui High School is from Hebei. They are regular visitors to the national competition. They have never been absent from the three national competitions. They achieved good results in the top eight last year..."
Immediately afterwards, the second team also came out.
"Team No. 2, Guangsha Middle School!"
"Guangsha Middle School is from Fuzhou. They entered the national competition twice. Last year they stopped at the top 16. It seems that the first competition will be very intense..."
Listening to the host\'s introduction, the faces of the teachers and students of Hengshui Middle School and Guangsha Middle School were not very good-looking, and the faces of teachers and students of other schools that had not been drawn were also dignified.
There is no so-called seed team in the national competition, and the lottery has a great impact on the team\'s performance. Unless the strength is the best among all participating teams, otherwise bad luck may also lead to a round.
Some people once criticized this rule, thinking that it would make the game less exciting, but the rules of the game have never been changed.
Some people have speculated that the reason for this setting is mainly to let the new generation of beast masters know that life is an encounter, and you never know who the opponent you are about to face is.
If you don\'t have enough strength, you may face failure at any time.
In order to ensure the fairness of the competition, each time the lucky draw guests are senior officials from the Ministry of Education and the Beast Masters Association.
While ensuring the fairness of the lottery, it also expressed its emphasis on the training of high school beast masters, killing two birds with one stone.
Under everyone\'s worried and expectant eyes, the names of schools were drawn out one by one.
"No. 7, High School Attached to Kyoto University!"
As last year\'s runner-up, the High School Affiliated to Beijing University aroused everyone\'s prayers as soon as they were drawn out.
Chen Wen also prayed secretly, under the standard rules of high school students, Qinghe No. 1 Middle School meets Beijing University High School is a round trip.
Amid all the attention, a person from Wuli No. 1 Middle School in JX Province sacrificed himself to help everyone.
"..."
"No. 14, High School Affiliated to Shanghai University!"
Not long after everyone breathed a sigh of relief, the previous champion, the High School Attached to the Demon University, was also drawn out.
"..."
Seeing the rising lottery result, even the presenter was silent for a moment.
Only fourteen teams have been drawn so far, and the top half has already had the previous champion, runner-up, and two quarter-finalists, almost killing all the strong teams.
The audience who watched the opening ceremony through the network platform and Kyoto Satellite TV were also stunned.
"The lottery draw for the national competition is exciting. The champions and runners-up are in the upper half. Now it\'s all right. You can watch the finals in advance!"
"The dog\'s brains are going to be blown out in the upper half of the district, and I accidentally went home."
"It\'s too miserable. There are still 18 places left in the upper half. I don\'t know if those unlucky ghosts will be drawn."
"..."
At this moment, all the remaining teams hoped not to be drawn to the upper half, and they were thinking together in their hearts.
"Don\'t go to the upper half!"
"Don\'t go to the upper half!"
"..."
However, it is impossible to have 18 empty spots in the upper half.
After a while, with the "start" and "stop" of the vice minister of the Ministry of Education Gao Song and the vice president of the Beast Master Association Xu Shou, the unlucky teams were drawn out one by one.
"No. 32, Donglin No. 1 Middle School!"
As the name of the last school team in the upper half was read out, all the remaining teams breathed a sigh of relief.
The first half took most of the strong teams away, and the second half was much easier.
Soon, all the draws were completed, and the opponents of Qinghe No. 1 Middle School were also drawn.
From Qianyang No. 1 Middle School in Guizhou Province, the top 32 in the last session.
Everyone in Qinghe No. 1 Middle School was very happy.
Everyone in Qianyang No. 1 High School is also in a good mood.
Although Qinghe No. 1 Middle School was the top 16 of the previous session, the good luck in signing was a big reason.
And they stopped at the top 32, purely unlucky to meet the High School Affiliated to Beijing University.
