(Brothers and sisters, Skeleton's Weibo account has just been opened. His name is "The Real Skeleton Spirit". It's very interesting. Skeleton will be posting about his books and daily life. Everyone is welcome to come and have tea with him. There is also a "huge photo" of him on his Weibo. Haha, http: t.sina.com.cn 1771280905 profile)
"I've collected all the information. Let's see how the draw will be tomorrow." Cao Yi scratched his head and opened the database again.
"Alright, that's enough. Your head is getting bigger and bigger." Wang Tong laughed. Cao Yi was too serious about his work.
Dinner was also delivered by the butler robot. It was quite exquisite, and it could be seen that the quantity was quite well controlled. The four of them ate heartily without holding back. They did not have to pay for it themselves, so of course, they ate as much as they could. So, the robot worked four more times before the four of them were full.
Robot Butler was surprised. It had never met such a gluttonous customer before. It looked like it had been starving for days.
Perhaps the people who came here were too excited and nervous to eat too much, unlike Wang Tong and the other three, who were all hungry ghosts reincarnated.
Zhou Sisi's appetite had increased after spending a long time with these people. Most importantly, she ate happily and consumed a lot of energy. However, she was still lacking compared to the four of them.
Cao Yi wasn't as crazy as Karl when he was eating, but his eating speed and volume were even more frightening than Karl's. Maybe it was because of the large appetite of METAL Combat professionals.
After eating, the four of them started playing a pillow fight as if there was no one else around. The four of them took out pillows and beat each other up like children, fighting until the sky turned dark.
This was completely different from the rest of the contestants.
Flash was quietly writing in his diary. Since the day he became famous, the Battlecraft Combat community had high hopes for him, hoping that he could break the monopoly that the Kaedeians and Ivantians had over Battlecraft Combat. Earthlings could not always be a supporting character, and it had become a disgrace for them to aim for the quarterfinals.
Flash was the only one who had high hopes.
Finally, the moment had arrived. He needed to make it to the top eight.
After writing quietly, Flash stretched his body and went to bed early.
Early the next morning, the bell rang, and the butler robot took the alarm clock and called them one by one.
Carl was hugging a pillow and sleeping soundly, drooling. He scratched his ear and threw the pillow at Carl. Bang …
The robot's alarm clock was directly smashed away. The three people at the door looked at each other and couldn't help but burst into laughter. This kid could really sleep.
"Carl, it's time to eat!"
"Rice, rice, where is the rice? I haven't eaten yet!" Karl jumped up and looked around.
Sisi made a victory gesture. "Birds of a feather flock together. You two are really alike!"
Wang Tong coughed and said, "Get up, you're the only one left."
"Yes, Boss!"
Carl saluted and immediately began to tidy himself up.
The venue was already surrounded by the media. The results of the lot-drawing ceremony for the top eight would also directly affect the outcome. The media from the three major federations were equally concerned, especially those from Earth. This was the most promising time to break the fate of the top eight. It was unprecedented for three people to enter the top eight. It was really rare, so they had more hope. However, they were also afraid that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
The host introduced the eight contestants in detail, and the media also aimed their cameras at the first eight contestants.
The lot-drawing was done manually, which was the most primitive method. Each contestant took out a crystal ball from a box and started to fight in sequence.
KKK was the first to show his number, Number Five. He scanned his opponents to see who would be his first opponent. When he saw Number Six in Katy's hand, a cold smile appeared on his face. The two rookies from Earth had escaped a calamity.
Wang Tong got the number three, and the Ivantian got the number four. Luckily, Karl got the number seven, and the two would have to fight each other in the finals.
Flash looked at the number one in his hand, then looked at Wang Tong's number three. Both of them smiled at the same time, and it seemed like the finals were about to begin.
Upper half:
Flash (1) — Paris (2)
Wang Tong (3) — GoRush (4)
Lower half:
KKK (5) — Nikki (6)
Carl (7) — Lola Parker (8)
After the lots were drawn, the final match-ups also appeared. At the very least, there weren't any internecine fights in the quarterfinals. The situation was still considered very good, and everyone was rather satisfied. At this stage, probably no one would care about who would win. Those who could enter the quarterfinals were all at the pinnacle of Battleship Combat. There wasn't much difference in their standards, and it all depended on one's performance.
After the lot-drawing ceremony, the contestants were allowed to leave the stage and prepare for tomorrow's matches.
KKK looked at the Earth contestants and said to GoRush, "You're lucky to have picked up a rookie."
GoRush smiled and said, "Don't say that. It wasn't easy for three of them to make it to the quarterfinals, but they were unlucky. If there was a civil war, they would at least be able to secure a spot in the quarterfinals. It seems like the Earthlings still need some luck to make history."
GoRush emphasized the word "history". It was obvious that he was mocking the Ivantians, because the Earthlings only wanted to make it to the semifinals.
Wang Tong shook his head and asked, "Why?"
Karl did not act rashly this time. After all, he had already come this far, and he knew that it was time to prove himself. The Ivantians were way too arrogant. In fact, they were not even as strong as the Kaedeians, yet they still acted like they were the strongest.
The three Kaedeian contestants were still as cold as ever. They did not smile much, and the three icy beauties were like a piece of scenery to the audience.
"Boss, why is he always provoking us? I really want to beat them up!" Carl said angrily.
"It's simple, he's scared."
"Scared?"
"KKK is very good at psychological attacks. He didn't attack the Kaedeians not because he doesn't want to, but because he knows it's useless. Also, he's afraid of causing a diplomatic dispute. However, he doesn't care about us. I dare say that he's also very afraid of your School of Karl. That's why he's trying to distract you from the game."
Wang Tong said.
"Damn, he's so cunning!"
"It's alright. Actually, when you live for a long time, you'll encounter all sorts of strange things and people. He's not the first, nor will he be the last. I think it's pretty good. Just treat it as a test of psychological control. In a real battle, the enemy won't hold back. If you're impulsive, then they'll use all sorts of methods to provoke you."
"Boss …"
"What?"
"I admire you!"
"Forget it, you have to buy me dinner if you win."
"No way!" Carl refused without hesitation.
"You call that admiration?" Wang Tong was speechless.
"Admiration is free!"
Even Wang Tong couldn't stand it, so he kicked Carl away. "Damn it, you're even more stingy than me."
The four of them burst into laughter, and their previous gloominess was swept away.
Psychological control was a discipline, and the reason why mathematics and philosophy students were able to do well in any profession was because they were able to control their emotions and other people's emotions.
Samantha was a master in this field, and Zhou Sisi was not bad either, but she still needed more practice.
As for Wang Tong, he wasn't worth commenting on.
"Ladies and gentlemen, today is the match between the top eight of the thirty-sixth Pan-Solar System Alliance Battlecraft Tournament. Today's match will be broadcasted live by over five thousand media outlets, and there will be over two hundred thousand spectators. The first match will be between Flash from the S-Ranked Academy of Capth and Paris from Kaedeian Royal Academy. This is going to be a classic match between a dragon and a tiger. The Earth Confederation hasn't been able to find an effective strategy to counter the Art of Blazing Flames, and I wonder if Flash will be able to come up with a new strategy this time!"
The supporter said cheerfully, but he still didn't have high hopes for Flash. Although he was famous in the Earth Confederation, Earth was still lagging behind in the field of Battlecraft Combat. Therefore, his reputation as a "chicken's head" wasn't worth much.
Both Flash and Paris were calm. This was a duel between two cool-headed players, and it was the first time for Flash to witness a duel of this scale. However, there was no sign of nervousness on his face. Everyone was watching the match from the spectator stands.
The first round began.
Paris started the match with the normal opening of the Art of Blazing Flames, while Flash started the match with the most common offensive and defensive strategy of mankind.
"Normal opening?
He didn't use any ultimate moves? "
Everyone started to doubt the abilities of the Earth Confederation's players.
Nothing unusual happened in the early stages of the match, and neither of them made any mistakes. But soon, Flash's first wave of troops rushed out, and under the observation of the Art of Blazing Flames, he knew that this wave of troops would suffer heavy losses.
Of course, Paris's troops would be annihilated. She would not allow them to reach the entrance of the base. Very soon, the two sides exchanged fire. Flash's formation was very good, but in the end, both sides suffered heavy losses. It was nothing special.
After a while, Flash sent out another wave of troops, and the crowd started to discuss among themselves. Was this guy an idiot? Would he still be able to fight after sending out so many troops?
The economy of the Earth Confederation had started to lag behind.
It was another round of confrontation. Although Flash won the battle, he did not have many troops left. Paris took the opportunity to expand her army. She had the advantage, and at the same time, her expansion also put enough pressure on her opponent, forcing her opponent to send out more troops. At this time, it was too late for her opponent to expand.
The problem was that Flash still had no intention of expanding his army. Two bases at once?
The problem was that Paris already had four bases, and she was at an absolute advantage in terms of economy. Flash's troops kept pouring out, and Paris's troops kept accumulating.
