After staying in Lu's hometown for a night, Qiao Meng and the others flew back to City S early. After all, there were still a lot of things to deal with here, so we couldn't just relax and ignore them. Our family was the most important thing.
But not long after he came back, he received news that the national finals for stone betting had been set and were about to start, so Qiao Meng was ready to go. He was used to not being busy for a while, and he didn't expect to call everyone when something happened.
Come on.
Everything has been calm these days, and Qiao Meng can't help but wonder if the whole world has become better. Although this is just a luxury wish, it is still good to think about it. There is a saying: What to do if you don't think well.
Good.
Three days later, Qiao Meng, Baidu and Wang Dachui embarked on the journey to Kyoto together, but this time neither Tianlao nor Ge Yuling followed.
Because the national finals can only be entered by the players themselves, no one else can enter, but they can watch the game through the live broadcast channel, so they did not cause any trouble.
After what happened these days, Qiao Meng and Bai Du reconciled again, but they agreed not to expose their identities and still treat each other as ordinary brothers. Qiao Meng is still the eldest brother and Bai Du is still the younger brother. Of course, the agreement is still in effect.
In half a year, Qiao Meng will be able to obtain 50% of the shares, because Guloucheng's performance is rising steadily, and it is basically impossible for him to fail.
However, Baidu doesn't mind handing over the shares to Qiao Meng, because he really needs a helper he can trust, and Qiao Meng is the best candidate in this regard. It can only be said that everything is the best arrangement.
"Wow, this is Kyoto. It's really big. Even the airport is several times bigger than where we are." Qiao Meng couldn't help but exclaimed after getting off the plane.
This was his first time running so far away, so he was inevitably a little excited. When he was a child, he never thought that one day he would be able to come to such a place and represent his province in a national competition.
At this time, he not only regarded the game as a game, but also regarded it as a kind of glory, and his own moment of glory was about to come.
And when they arrived at the designated hotel, they saw that Lan Hai was also there, but it was just at the hotel next to it. Because the national competition of the Antique Appreciation Conference was also about to start, the contestants would be arranged to come over to prepare.
Of course, in special cases like Qiao Meng and Bai Du, they can choose their residence however they want. As long as they show up during the competition, everything will be fine.
The competition only starts tomorrow, but now many people are discussing what the scene will be like. Some people are not entering the national competition for the first time, and they are somewhat familiar with the rules of the competition, so they are starting to explain it to newcomers.
Qiao Meng and Baidu were listening nearby, and they felt that they benefited a lot. This was not eavesdropping. With their ears being so long, it was no wonder that other people's voices came through.
Tonight is the drawing ceremony to see what everyone's serial number is, because this will determine the certain direction of the game.
After the results came out, Qiao Meng was very lucky to get the No. 1 title again. Perhaps this was destined, and he was going to win the national championship step by step with such a kingly attitude.
Baidu is the more common No. 33, while Wang Dachui is the more common No. 37.
Perhaps because they were not used to coming to such a big city, the three of them were not in much mood to sleep. A big boss like Baidu had never traveled far enough, so he was equally excited.
The three of them walked out in unison, and then stood on the observation deck outside the hall, looking at the dark night of the city through the glass windows, saying nothing, standing there quietly, as if the whole world had changed.
Be quiet.
They woke up the next day and said, "Oh, why are the dark circles under your eyes so heavy? They almost look like panda eyes."
After the three of them got dressed up, they went out and rushed to the venue together. As a result, they all wanted to laugh when they looked at each other, staring at each other with panda eyes. The carefree and comfortable night last night still had to pay a certain price.
"Who told you to do that last night? Without saying anything, you can last longer than anyone else, right?" Qiao Meng complained.
"What's better than lasting?" Wang Dachui said speechlessly.
"That's right, you can't say no if you're a man, aren't you? Just say no if you can't." Bai Du pointedly said to Qiao Meng.
"No, what? I can't do it. I think it's you who can't do it. My endurance is absolutely amazing. If I didn't see that you couldn't bear it last night, how could I have let you go back?" Qiao Meng said disdainfully.
"Tsk, who knows who can't do it."
The three of them were chatting with each other as they walked, but these words made the passersby next to them feel very surprised. For some reason, they always felt that something was wrong. Some women even secretly laughed non-stop.
At this time, the three of them felt that the tone was not quite right, so they quickly stopped talking, adjusted their posture and walked towards the venue.
"Thank you very much for arriving at our National Stone Gambling Competition venue on time. In the next few days, we will continue to compete here until we select the strongest person this year. I hope you will do your best."
The host was extremely high-spirited, and his voice was deafening.
"Next, ask one hundred and fifty players to come on stage, and use the votes in their hands to fill in whether they think player No. 1 opened up or down. This round can be modified once, and there will be no change after the first or second move.
Question, but the third cut cannot be changed. Contestant No. 1 is invited to come on stage to select wool." The host continued to announce.
After Qiao Meng heard this, he immediately went up and quickly screened about more than 300 pieces of materials here. He knew that he had to choose the one with a big increase in order to successfully pass the level and use this to deceive some enemies.
"That's it!" Qiao Meng decided after a minute of groping and decided to choose a sand-skin material that seemed to weigh more than twenty kilograms.
Of course he wants to vote for his own increase, and it is a big increase. The votes here are for a big increase, which is more than eight times the original price, a small increase, which is two to three times the original price, the same, and a small decrease, which is a lower price.
The price is one-fifth of the original price, and collapse means that the price drops to less than half of the original price.
At the same time, Tianlao and the others were also paying attention to the situation of the game. They were so excited when they saw Qiao Meng come out. They didn't expect that he would actually get the No. 1 lottery again.
"Xiao Meng is really God's will. He is picked No. 1 every time. I think he will definitely win the championship." Although Wang Gang can't go to the competition, he has a lot of support for Qiao Meng.
"I also think this is God's will. Xiaomeng may be the first national champion of the stone betting competition in our S area." Tian Lao also fully recognized this.
Ge Yuling, on the other hand, remained silent and kept praying in her heart.
As Qiao Meng's selection was completed in the competition field, everyone began to make choices based on their own speculations. Anyway, everyone could change it once and everyone didn't take it into consideration that much.
Although no one knows Qiao Meng, everyone knows that it is not that easy to enter the national finals, so basically there are more people who choose to rise slightly with a wait-and-see attitude.
Bai Du and Wang Dacui are very confident that Qiao Meng can make a big rise, because according to his character, he would not choose a small rise to play. As for a collapse, it is even more impossible. Everyone here
It's possible that they themselves could have chosen a bad material, but they didn't believe that Qiao Meng would choose it.
"Okay, everyone has made their own choices. Although there is still another chance to change, the national finals are based on a points system. If you don't change, you can still get three points if you choose the right one. The first change of the correct one will get two points.
, the correct person will get one point for the second change, and the wrong person will get zero points, but they will not be eliminated directly in this round." The host announced very seriously.
Thumb thump——
"Now we invite contestant No. 1 Qiao Meng to perform the first stone-breaking operation. If the time does not increase for ten minutes, the score will be zero!" the official began to announce.
Qiao Meng would say he is not nervous at this time. He is really a little nervous. Although he knows that he is 100% sure, he still feels a little nervous. Maybe this is like an exam. Although he usually works very hard, he still worries about making mistakes when it comes to important exams.
.
He placed his hands on the wool, and after taking a deep breath, he identified all the details of the material. Without any further hesitation, he directly drew a fixed cutting line on the material, on the edge of the material.
Then he turned on the stone-breaking machine.
dumb--
"Wow, I haven't heard this sound so close for a long time. It's so familiar." Qiao Meng said with emotion.
"This kid is still feeling emotional, and people who participated in the national finals actually didn't touch the machine for a long time. Isn't this a joke?" Someone in front of the live broadcast screen was very disdainful of Qiao Meng's behavior.
The radio effect at this scene is still very good. Basically, everything Qiao Meng says can be heard, so if he has any ideas, he will not say too much, only some complaints.
After he was ready, Qiao Meng moved the material under the cutting gear without hesitation, and slowly moved the gear closer to it. Fine stones and sand continued to fly, and the material was gradually cut. Only five minutes had passed, which was enough for him to use.
.
"I feel like this kid is not very good. Did they let him advance because there was no one in the area?" Some people at the scene began to express disdain for Qiao Meng, thinking that he was just a jerk.
Here, Qiao Meng has still finished cutting, and is cleaning the cut surface with a water spray gun, so that the color inside can be more clearly transmitted.
"Ouch, look at this, it's green." One person exclaimed.
"Tch, what's the point of going green?" The man just now was still dismissive.
"Why are you so awesome? Look carefully, it's emerald green! Do you want a slap in the face?" the man just said without mercy.
The man who had questioned Qiao Meng before immediately did not dare to speak. He couldn't help but cover his face with his hands. It was really burning and he was completely embarrassed.
Qiao Meng smiled confidently. He knew that if he was not famous at the beginning, some people would have objections, or even not see it, but as long as the results came out, it would definitely be a dramatic twist in the plot, and what he wanted was such a shocking effect.
