Chapter 907 Isn't this the goal we came for?
The opening ceremony has ended, and the event is now underway.
Just as Qiao Jingjing had said before, the first game activity was diving. Under the holographic projection, a huge pool appeared in the middle of the stage, and above the pool was a diving platform. The design of this map was very simple, and it didn't even need any explanation. Everyone roughly understood the rules of the game.
Next, Qiao Jingjing and several All-Star players went on stage, each drawing a member of the audience. The host then explained the rules of the game to everyone.
This time, Li Xuan, the captain of the Void Team, went on stage with Qiao Jingjing to draw lots from the audience. After Qiao Jingjing finished drawing, it was his turn to draw lots from the audience. Seeing this, Chen Guo couldn't help but feel emotional, and began to recall the scene last year when he and Tang Rou were chosen by Mu Cheng and competed together.
Back then, she was just a simple Glory fan. Her first close encounter with her idols thrilled her immensely. Now, she can eat, drink, and play with several idols every day, and even get insider gossip from two of their best friends about the entertainment and professional worlds.
Thinking about it this way, my life now seems almost like a dream.
Tiny Herb's venue can accommodate 18,000 audience members at a time, and today it was completely full. Qiao Jingjing had already asked everyone beforehand, and no one had any desire to go on stage. So Qiao Jingjing didn't cause any trouble and just randomly selected people as usual. Therefore, no one from Team Happy went on stage this time.
Because of Xiao Nai's presence, the two sisters have not yet debuted, so the two who were originally supposed to appear on the All-Star stage are still in Huangfeng's training matches.
With popular actress Qiao Jingjing involved, the buzz never died down.
"I didn't expect that even though Jingjing isn't working much right now, her popularity hasn't waned at all," Chen Guo said with some emotion.
“Boss, you’re mistaken. Although Jingjing has been training with us all this time, her studio has been running non-stop. Every match we have is an opportunity for them to promote Qiao Jingjing. Especially the match we played against the professional team, Jingjing’s studio even posted on Weibo. And before, celebrities didn’t post on Weibo much, since they don’t have anything to do every week. But now it’s different for Jingjing; every match is an opportunity for her to appear in front of the public. A few days ago, Sister Ling said that she had an endorsement deal with Qiao Jingjing. If our offline competition goes smoothly, they will contact you then,” Xiao Nai said.
“I see. I was worried that playing professionally would affect Jingjing’s career,” Chen Guo said.
“Actually, Jingjing is currently more popular among the throwers. After all, if Jingjing can enter the professional league based on her skills, she will appear in the public eye more often, not to mention events of the professional league level. This would be an excellent opportunity for their brand promotion. Of course, all of this is on the premise that Jingjing makes it into the professional league,” Xiao Nai said.
"If Jingjing enters the professional league, her value will increase again. What if Jingjing wins the championship?" Chen Guo couldn't help but think.
"Then her popularity will explode. A movie queen who goes full-time to play professionally, crushes professional players to win the championship, just that headline will stay on the trending list for days," Xiao Nai laughed.
"Jingjing's opponent is in big trouble. What if our Teacher Qiao doesn't come down from the hot list in the future?" Ye Xiu said with a smile.
"You're talking like we've already won the championship." Chen Guo rolled her eyes at the two of them speechlessly. Although she couldn't help but think that way too, they were still worried about the Challenger Series, and the two of them were already thinking about the championship. Was that right? "What's wrong with that? Isn't that what we came here for?" Xiao Nai and Ye Xiu said.
“That’s right,” Xiao Nai said with a smile.
As they were talking, it was Qiao Jingjing's turn to dive.
Pfft!
Qiao Jingjing's use of the ammunition expert skill this time relied on various gunner techniques such as throwing guns and mechanical rotors. Her fighting style was dazzling, and she barely splashed any water upon entering the water – a feat previously unmatched by professional players. Qiao Jingjing's performance once again ignited the entire arena. Time and again, she proved with her skill that she wasn't just casually playing in the professional scene; she was genuinely striving to become a professional player.
In contrast, the performance of the ordinary players was not very interesting. Not to mention the splashes of water, their airtime was far inferior to that of professional players like Jingjing.
Today's event mainly focuses on interaction with the audience, and the scoring will naturally be done by the audience. However, each team will also conduct a preliminary vote, somewhat like the mentors in a talent show. The organizers also want to use the words of professional athletes to give a simple explanation of the difficulty of the techniques used by the professional athletes and Qiao Jingjing when they were diving.
With similar results, Qiao Jingjing took the lead by a significant margin.
Unfortunately, diving isn't a particularly difficult maneuver, and its skill ceiling is quite limited. For professional players, the game's ceiling is simply their floor, so in terms of skill, everyone is actually about the same. But Qiao Jingjing's popularity just outweighs that.
Qiao Jingjing dived perfectly in all three dives, and now, the voices that questioned her have almost completely disappeared.
Based on Qiao Jingjing's current strength, unless Xiao Nai and the others fail to enter the professional league in the end, no one can find any flaws in Qiao Jingjing.
After the diving, the activities continued, and the professional athletes easily won the shooting competition. After several fun competitions, it was time for the professional athlete challenge. This time, without Xiao Nai and his group causing trouble, Tiny Herb's arrangements went very smoothly. Tiny Herb's goal this time was to promote Gao Yingjie, so he was the only one to go on stage. After Gao Yingjie easily won over several audience members, the second day of activities came to a complete end.
Then comes the final day of the All-Star Game, which is also the most anticipated event for the audience. After all, on this day, the twenty-four All-Star players will be divided into two teams, just like a professional game. So much so that although the All-Star Game is an exhibition, many viewers treat it as a high-level All-Star event.
The team assignments for the 24 All-Stars are naturally handled by the professional league. To ensure the excitement of the competition, the professional league will not allow any disparity between the two teams and will try to avoid separating players from the same team.
Today was no exception, with the twenty-four contestants harmoniously divided into two teams. Samsara had three players, Tiny Herb had three, and Howling Blossoms had two each, followed by Royal Wind and Lin Hai each having one, making a total of 12 players per team.
The other team consists of four members from Tyranny, three from Blue Rain, two each from Void and Misty Rain, and one from 12. Twelve people make up one team. (End of Chapter)
