Since the matches were one-on-one, the quarterfinals and the preliminary rounds were fast-paced. However, the semifinals were played one by one, and the stage was moved to the center of the stadium. The commentary was also provided by professional commentators, replacing the virtual commentary provided by the competition portal in previous matches.
The contestants were getting ready and the audience were taking their seats. At this time, Xu Biao and Zhou Xizhi also rushed over. It seemed that they also took the sports department's competition very seriously, but they had joined another branch and therefore could only be spectators.
After they greeted Shen Ruoxue and the two girls, they found a seat and sat next to Lin Feng. It wasn't long before the auditorium was full, and the students who came late could only watch the live broadcast on the screen in the audience area of the morning preliminaries.
Although private schools are expensive, they have many benefits. The small screen on the front seat has a function for communicating with friends, so you can share your feelings about watching the game with friends sitting in different seats. Of course, the seats are also equipped with sound insulation, so as long as you don't shout, it won't affect others watching the game.
Xu Biao used the communication function to ask Shen Ruoxue: "How is it going? I heard that you came here early. Have you found a suitable candidate for the guild?"
"Well, I found one, but I heard that person is a bit stubborn and might not agree to my invitation." Shen Ruoxue said with a frown.
"How could that be? Xiao Feng has the best personality. He was just a little nervous when he saw the goddess of his dreams. No matter what kind of predicament the guild is in now, he will definitely agree to join." Xu Biao mistakenly thought that the candidate was Lin Feng. He thought that Lin Feng was the person Shen Ruoxue had found to recruit into the guild.
"It's not Lin Feng. I still have to look for him. After the finals, there will be a betting match between him and Jiang Zhentao from the Sports Department. I will make a decision then."
Only then did Xu Biao realize that he had been wrong, but he was not anxious. As the saying goes, gold will always shine. By then, Shen Ruoxue will be able to see Lin Feng's true strength, which will definitely surprise her.
"Then who do you think is the right candidate among these four?" Xu Biao asked again.
"Yes, that person is among the top four. Three of them have already joined the gaming guild, but he, a dark horse, has not yet joined a guild. He has also rejected invitations from many guilds many times. I don't know if we can invite him." Shen Ruoxue looked at a loss.
"Are you talking about Zhang Ning? This might be quite difficult..."
Xu Biao had heard of Zhang Ning, who was also a talented player like Lin Feng. He had played other games before, but when he heard that the Sports Department was holding a Phoenix Heart competition, he practiced hard in the Internet cafe for a week. He didn't expect that he would make it to the semi-finals after participating in the competition. He had to admire him.
But others participated in the competition to get the opportunity to study in a well-known gaming team or guild, but Zhang Ning was different. Although he was determined to get this opportunity, he did not want to study, but wanted to sell this opportunity at a high price in exchange for money to help children in remote and poor mountainous areas.
Some people said Zhang Ning was stupid, saying that the government couldn't handle all those things, so why did he personally care about so many things? But Zhang Ning was stubborn and insisted on going all the way. He never stopped supporting children in poor mountainous areas, and he was rewarded by the country for this, but he also invested all the rewards in the great cause of poverty alleviation.
After Xu Biao told everyone about Zhang Ning's deeds, everyone was filled with mixed feelings. They felt that Zhang Ning's ideological awareness was really too high. He should do his best to contribute more to society when he has the opportunity in the future. Maybe his reincarnation in the next life will be scored based on this. If it is high, he will be a fairy, demon, or god, and if it is low, he will be a bird or a beast. In short, good will be rewarded with good, and evil will be punished with evil. It's not that there is no reward, but the time has not come yet.
The semi-finals finally started amid everyone's anticipation. Lin Feng and the others were inspired by Zhang Ning's deeds and couldn't help but support Zhang Ning and cheer him on. Zhang Ning lived up to everyone's expectations and seized a mistake made by his opponent in the late game. He ended the semi-finals without any danger and made it to the finals.
However, his opponent in the finals was Jiang Zhentao, the strongest player in the sports department. Since Lin Feng worked outside the school except for classes, he was somewhat ignorant of the news in the school. When he made a bet with Jiang Zhentao, he thought Jiang Zhentao was just a better player, but he didn't expect him to be so good. This also made Lin Feng excited and full of expectations for the bet with his opponent.
Since there was no ranking competition between the third and fourth place, the competition would be held after a ten-minute break and interaction, and the contestants would be able to take a break. Lin Feng saw Zhang Ning walking out of the transparent glass contestant room. He hesitated for a moment and then got up and followed him.
"Hello, my name is Lin Feng." Lin Feng stretched out his hand.
Zhang Ning hesitated for a moment, but still shook hands with Lin Feng out of politeness, and said, "My name is Zhang Ning, what can I do for you?"
"I've heard about your story from others, so I want to help you win the championship. Just now, I saw from Jiang Zhentao's other matches that his style is more restrained against you. It's probably difficult for you to defeat him with your normal fighting style. The only way to win this game is to change your tactics midway and take the initiative."
"Tell me about it." Zhang Ning said with a smile.
"You are good at the class of Beast Tamer, and he is good at the class of Flame Mage. With Jiang Zhentao's style, he will definitely suppress you with firepower throughout the whole process, find your flaws during the suppression, and then burst out to defeat you. With your current strength, the only way to defeat him is to show a small flaw, let him think there is an opportunity, and wait until he uses Fire Run to bypass your pet and approach you, and then use Smoke Shot followed by Reverse Jump, then you can seize the situation and win."
Lin Feng spoke out his winning method without any scruples, because he wanted Zhang Ning to win the championship of this competition. One reason was that he was very disgusted with the arrogant Jiang Zhentao, and the other was that he admired Zhang Ning.
Although there are many people who love and help each other in today's society, there are not many people who are as extreme as Zhang Ning. It is difficult for Lin Feng to do this kind of love that regards his compatriots as brothers every day for several years, and he is now under the pressure of tuition fees and is even more powerless. However, Zhang Ning silently carried this burden without regrets, and all his efforts were for others, without any show and without asking for any return. It has become a habit.
That's why Lin Feng tried his best to help Zhang Ning win the game. (To be continued)
