Elf: Fortunately, I have a Ten Thousand Realms Simulator

Chapter 42 All eyes are drawn, drawing lots

Early the next morning, amidst the great expectations of netizens and Jiangsu Province media, the main competition of the Mianbao Cup officially began.

The method of the competition is very simple. Eight people from 16 divisions compete in pairs. The winner advances and the loser is eliminated.

At eight o'clock in the morning, the 128 contestants were divided into 16 groups according to the list announced last night. They entered the small black room prepared by the competition team for the lottery draw. Outside the small black room was a kind of Suzhou media driver. Long guns and short guns are waiting for the results to come out.

Every time a contestant is drawn, reporters will swarm him, asking him about the number he drew and what he thinks about the online post.

Most of the players were shy and restrained when speaking, but there were a few loudmouths who followed the media's guidance and made some sharp comments about Lu Li's "sneaking" in with a curly ear. The unreasonableness of dark horse players.

Of course, if there are those who are sarcastic, there will be others who will defend them. Lin Yutong, Li Jialong, and Guo Feifan affirmed Lu Li's strength in front of the media. Unfortunately, they are not even considered dark horse players. They are soft-spoken, and it is difficult to speak out even if they try their best. What a splash.

As time went by, the contestants from the first eleven groups had completed the drawing of lots, and the reporters who were originally a little listless also became energetic.

"Come on, come on, here are the contestants from Division 12."

"Division 12? The death group?"

"Where's Lu Li? Which one is Lu Li?"

Fortunately, there was no need for the media to identify them one by one. The staff with loudspeakers at the door read out the names of the contestants one by one.

"Next, Lu Li."

Hearing this shout, Lu Li stood up and was about to walk into the small dark room when he saw a large number of media personnel with press credentials surrounding him:

"Classmate Lu Li, do you know that you are listed as one of the eight dark horses on the Internet?"

"Faced with all the doubts on the Internet, can I ask you what you think?"

"Are you confident that you can defeat Zheng Xiaoxiao, who is also a dark horse player, and Zhou Mo, who is a seed player, and reach the top 16?"

All kinds of questions came to me like a barrage, and the flashlight kept flashing.

To be honest, Lu Li was frightened by the battle in front of him. He had never seen such a scene in his entire life.

Just when Lu Li began to debate whether he should answer the media's questions, a staff member stood up to help him:

"Friends from the media, please don't be anxious. After player Lu Li draws the lottery, we will allocate 2 minutes for player Lu Li to cooperate with your interview."

After saying that, two staff members took Lu Li into the small dark room.

After walking along under the guidance of the staff until the noise outside could no longer be heard, Lu Li finally saw the small box used to extract opponents.

But before Lu Li could go up to draw lots, a 26-year-old female staff member stopped him:

"Classmate Lu Li, please stop drawing lots from the box."

As she spoke, the female staff member showed an apologetic smile:

"I'm sorry, our tournament team did not expect that the design of star players and competition groupings would cause you so much trouble before the game.

In order to compensate you for the mental loss you may suffer last night and in the future, our competition team has made a temporary decision to help you reduce the pressure of public opinion as much as possible. "

As he spoke, the staff member took out a small ball and a card from his bag and showed them to Lu Li:

"This is the opponent we have arranged for you to ensure that you will not encounter Zhou Mo and Zheng Xiaoxiao prematurely.

In addition, there is also a consumption voucher from our Mianbao Group, the limit is 3 yuan. I hope these can compensate for the impact of our competition group on you as much as possible. "

Looking at the small balls and vouchers handed over by the female staff member, Lu Li hesitated for a moment and then declined the offer:

"Your company doesn't need to do this. Those comments on the Internet actually didn't have much impact on me. In addition, I am confident that I can reach the top [-] without using this."

Whether the other party sincerely apologized for the unintentional act, or whether he did it intentionally for the sake of subsequent program effects, Lu Li did not want to accept the other party's "compensation" no matter what the possibility was.

This kind of thing is just like the e-sports players in the previous life who cheated on matches. Nothing will happen if they are not discovered by others. Once the news is revealed, it will be like gold mud falling into the crotch.

He was already confident that he could reach the top 3 by relying on his own strength, so why would he want to add a possible stain to his future for a [-] yuan voucher?

"This……"

The female staff member hesitated for a moment, as if she didn't expect Lu Li to give such an answer. She asked the middle-aged man sitting in the distance for help. After getting the other person's permission, she nodded and said:

"Okay, then you can just draw lots as usual."

After hearing this, Lu Li quickly walked to the box and took out a number, which was No. 8. This meant that his opponent in the 128-to-64 match was the player who drew No. 7.

After trying to recall, Lu Li discovered that someone seemed to have drawn the No. 7 ball before him. She was a girl with short hair that reached her ears.

It's a pity that it's not Zheng Xiaoxiao or Zhou Mo. It would be great if he could meet them directly. He only needs to defeat either of them, and the pressure of public opinion he is facing will be immediately dispelled.

After sighing with regret, Lu Li took the No. 8 ball and left the small black room under the guidance of the staff.

"Brother Lin, why did you agree with him to refuse compensation?" After Lu Li left, the female staff member asked curiously.

"I don't think he is the kind of kid who is blindly inflated... That means this kid wants to win the game with strength, so we have no reason to stop him."

Lin Cheng looked at Lu Li's leaving figure with full admiration in his eyes:

"We didn't originally plan to arrange a fake match, we just wanted to use him to expand the influence of the game. In addition, I took away Zheng Xiaoxiao and Zhou Mo's number balls in advance, and he couldn't touch the box. come out……"

Just as promised before, as soon as Lu Li walked out, he was led by the staff to answer reporters' questions.

Although he had never eaten pork, he had seen pigs running after all. Faced with various questions raised by reporters, Lu Li did not answer all the questions stupidly, but only chose the questions he felt were safer to answer.

"Classmate Lu Li, what is the number you drew?"

"number 8."

"Student Lu Li, are you confident about the next competition?"

"Have confidence."

As time passed by and the two minutes were about to end, the reporters’ questions became more and more acute.

"In the face of all kinds of doubts about you on the Internet, do you have anything to say to them?"

After hearing this question, Lu Li paused for a moment. After he turned his attention to the reporter who asked the question, he took a step forward and approached the reporter's recorder. He spoke with great certainty:

"I will win, I will reach the top 16."

After saying this, Lu Li no longer lingered and walked towards the player tunnel, waiting for the next game to start.
