The situation in the quarterfinals wasn't too different from what Li Huailin had imagined. Although the appearance of two A-rank players was a bit of a coincidence, it was still a matter of grouping. The experts in the lower half of the bracket were concentrated, and the competition was fierce. But the more troublesome problem now was Yin Xiaoyin's problem.
Based on what Yin Xiaoyin had said to him at noon, she definitely wasn't going to use the proper method. Since she came to talk to him at noon, it meant that she was very confident that she could fight against Li Huailin. Although Li Huailin had notified or warned Magic Kitchen in a disguised way, Li Huailin couldn't guess the actual effect.
After all, it involved huge benefits. Li Huailin believed that Yin Xiaoyin only dared to say this because she had some confidence. Now, Li Huailin didn't have time to check Yin Xiaoyin's background, but not everyone was like him who wasn't afraid of any background. Li Huailin really didn't know if Magic Kitchen could handle it.
"… From the match just now, we can see that the crystal summoned by Seems Real in the Wind doesn't have much HP. This is also because Jade Emperor's attack is relatively weak. However, you should be fine on your side …" Taking advantage of the break, Li Jianyi hurried to explain the upcoming match between Feng Yiliu and Seems Real in the Wind. Now that ZTE Group and Huaxing still had two players in the quarterfinals, the match between Feng Yiliu and Seems Real in the Wind was very important. Whoever won would enter the quarterfinals, Li Huailin and Separated from the Heavens shouldn't be a problem. This match was related to which company would take up two spots in the quarterfinals, so they couldn't be careless. Over here, Li Jianyi was also very concerned about this match.
"Jade Emperor is a Knight, so she has a certain recovery ability. That's why Seems Real in the Wind is fighting against her. However, she probably won't use this skill against a Warrior. Both of them will fight directly." The famous general Zhi Zhicai also came up to analyze. He then turned to Li Huailin. "Big Brother, don't you think so?"
"Huh?" Li Huailin looked a little distracted, as if he didn't hear it.
"What's wrong? Huailin? What's the matter? "Several people noticed that Li Huailin was a little distracted, so they asked.
"I'm fine." Li Huailin shook his head. Just now, he was wondering if he should go back to the Magic Kitchen to check on the situation. However, after thinking about it, he decided not to. After all, he had already said that if she really couldn't hold on, it was not something that could be resolved with just a few words. After thinking for a while, he turned around and said, "The Wind Seems Real seems to require a lot of mana consumption and a very long chanting time to cast. So, I don't think she will use it when fighting against Feather."
"Hmm." Li Jianyi nodded. "It should be …"
He was helping Feng Yiliu analyze the situation on this side. He didn't expect that while he was talking, a staff member suddenly walked in from the door. He seemed to be in a hurry.
"Director Li, the competition committee wants you to go there immediately," said the staff member.
"Now?" Li Jianyi was a little surprised. It was break time now. In theory, there shouldn't be anything to do. However, since it was a notice from the competition committee, he still nodded. "Got it. I'll go right away."
"I'll go see what's going on." Li Jianyi nodded and went out.
At first, Li Huailin and the others didn't pay attention. They continued to stay in the lounge to help Feng Yiliu analyze the situation. They also talked a little about the current situation, but they felt that something was wrong as they waited. It was too long. Looking at the time, it was already 4: 30 in the afternoon. The half-hour break time had passed. In theory, they should have gathered on the main stage ten minutes earlier. However, it was a little strange that no one came to call them.
"It's a little strange. What happened?" Seeing that the time was not right, Feng Yiliu asked curiously.
"I don't know. Let's go out and take a look first." Li Huailin also said.
They walked to the venue together. Sure enough, the competition here hadn't started yet. However, the audience was already in place. Everyone also felt a little strange. Why didn't the competition start? Not only the contestants hadn't appeared, but even the host on the commentator's seat hadn't arrived yet.
"Is it delayed?" The audience guessed. A small part of the audience was a little unhappy and began to complain, but the majority of the audience was more patient and waited for the situation.
However, the audience's patience was also limited. After another twenty minutes, there was still no reaction from the audience. Everyone felt that something was wrong. Even if there was a delay, someone should come and explain what was going on. However, no one came to explain. Not only did the audience not know what was going on, but even the contestants didn't know what was going on. They only knew that all the company bosses were called by the competition committee for a meeting, but the specific situation was not clear.
"What's going on? Is the competition starting or not? "
"Yeah, what's going on?"
The audience was in chaos. Just when everyone was a little anxious, there was finally a response. The two hosts and three guests walked out from the passageway, causing the audience to quieten down and wait for their explanation.
Liu Sou slowly walked to the middle of the ring and then said to the audience, "I am very sorry to all the audience in the stadium and in front of the TV. Due to an accident, the quarterfinals were delayed for a little over thirty minutes. I am here to apologize on behalf of the competition committee to all the audience."
After that, Liu Sou bowed deeply, then raised his head and continued to say, "I would like to announce a more important matter. Due to personal reasons, the quarterfinals, contestants Yin Xiaoyin and Atomic Dust have just announced their withdrawal. According to the rules of the competition, contestants Magic Kitchen and Contestant Ruolin have directly advanced to the quarterfinals …"
"Wow …" Before Liu Sou finished speaking, the audience was in chaos. Many people guessed that the sudden delay in the competition was something big, but they didn't know that something so big had happened. There were actually top eight contestants who had withdrawn, and it was two at once. This was something that had never happened in the finals of the Hua Xia region.
All the reporters were in chaos. This was big news. Now they wanted to rush down and ask Liu Sou what was going on, but it was obvious that they couldn't go down. Of course, they immediately contacted their own reporters to find out what was going on.
All the contestants present were also a little surprised. They really didn't think that there would be contestants who would withdraw in the finals. This was a lot of guts, and these two contestants who had withdrawn were both A-level contestants. This was a little interesting.
"What's going on?" Feng Yiliu said with a frown. Of course, he was asking Li Huailin who was next to him.
"How would I know?" Li Huailin spread his hands. He really didn't expect this. He knew that Yin Xiaoyin was going to cause trouble, but he thought that she was going to instigate Magic Kitchen to fix the match. He didn't expect her to directly withdraw from the competition. It was obvious that this wasn't her original plan. Could it be that because she wanted to instigate Magic Kitchen to fail, she simply wanted to blow up the matter?
Until now, no one had informed them of what was going on. Li Jianyi was also dragged away for a meeting and hadn't returned. They were probably discussing this matter. Everyone knew that the competition committee was probably having a headache now. After all, the top eight contestants had withdrawn. In the past half an hour, they had probably been discussing with them, but the result was that they had failed.
The audience was now in a mess. They all wanted to hear an explanation from the competition committee, but it was obvious that the competition committee didn't want to explain too much. On the stage, Liu Su paused for a moment, then continued, "Everyone, please be quiet. Everyone, please be quiet. We are also very sorry for the withdrawal of the two A-level contestants, but this is their personal choice. We have already contacted the betting company, and all bets for these two matches have been canceled. The funds will soon be returned to your respective accounts. "
"What!" This was another very big news. The betting had actually been canceled. In theory, although the match hadn't started, if the two contestants withdrew, it should be counted as Magic Kitchen and Li Huailin's victory. Wouldn't this mean that the audience who bet on them to win would lose a sum of money? Although the odds for these two were very low, it was still a bit of pocket money. Weren't you directly robbing them of their money?
But do you think it was wrong to do so? No one knew. This was the first time that a contestant had withdrawn from the finals. There was no precedent, so no one knew how the betting for these two matches should be handled. Although not many people had bet on Yin Xiaoyin and Atomic Dust, there were still some who did. Of course, these people were happy. After all, they didn't have to waste their money, and they could still get their money back. There were still some people in the audience who didn't bet on Yin Xiaoyin and Atomic Dust who supported this action.
After the announcement, the audience became even more chaotic. On the other side, Liu Su immediately shouted again, "Everyone, please be quiet. Quiet."
The audience quieted down again. After all, they wanted to hear what else he had to announce.
"Regarding this incident, we are very sorry. However, the competition must continue. We will now take a fifteen minute break. After fifteen minutes, the first match of the quarterfinals, between Wind Yi Liu and Like the Wind, will begin." Liu Su said as he bowed to the audience, looking very apologetic. "What a pity! What a pity!
It seemed that the competition committee had nothing else to announce, but the audience was obviously very dissatisfied with the situation, and the voices of argument became more and more intense.
