Inside a villa.

Lin Daqing was wearing training clothes and holding a tablet computer in his hand.

A live broadcast is being played on the tablet.

This may be a coincidence. He just suddenly became interested in watching TV, and happened to open the Haitang Voice channel during the morning live broadcast, not specifically to watch Kurosawa.

"...If I'm paying special attention, it should be player Ji Qingwen..."

Kurosawa's calm voice sounded through the tablet's microphone.

"Kaka."

He clenched the apple tightly and made a sour sound.

His eyebrows were furrowed.

It tastes really bad.

He casually threw the half-eaten apple into the trash can next to the table.

Unfortunately, the accuracy is lacking.

The apple fell to the ground, and the puree fell to pieces.

Seeing this scene, his mood became worse.

After all, he is also Kurosawa's opponent in the spring finals, but he is not mentioned at all.

Do you think you have completely surpassed me?

He thought angrily in his heart.

But as an elf master, if you want to make a name for yourself, you can only do so on the arena stage.

His eyes stared at Kurosawa on the screen, his eyes shining with light.

He will make Kurosawa change his mind about himself.

...

The interview program of Haitang Voice continues.

Host Li Weiren kept bringing up topics.

Kurosawa answered some questions more implicitly.

For example, ask him about his goals for this summer split.

He would try to keep his posture as low as possible when answering such questions.

For example, before the Spring Split auditions started, he was randomly interviewed by a passing reporter. His answer at that time was that he would be successful if he entered the main round.

In fact, not only did he enter the main draw, he also won the championship by chance.

There may be some kind of metaphysics in the pre-game talk, saying that those who cannot lose a game may be eliminated in the first game.

Unless it's a matter of strength, the random factors determined by luck still have a huge impact on the game.

Specific schedule arrangements, assigned opponents, restraint relationships, status on the day, etc.

If you set a lower goal for yourself, the pressure will not be so great, but your performance will be better.

In addition to topics related to the competition, the host also asked questions about some of his private situations that the audience was interested in.

For example, in middle school, when did he decide to "abandon literature and pursue martial arts" and embark on a career path? Do his parents support his decision? This is the most frustrating and fulfilling time he has encountered so far on this path...

..

Kurosawa answered many questions as detailed and sincerely as possible.

It was the first time for many viewers to learn about him outside of the arena.

Although it is in the form of a question and answer interview, the number of online viewers in the live broadcast room has not decreased, but has continued to increase as time goes by.

Near the end of the live broadcast, there were more than 10,000 people online in real time.

Subsequent recordings and broadcasts of Begonia Voices will be edited and produced into shorter programs so that more viewers who have not watched it can watch it.

"Here, I would like to thank player Kurosawa once again for accepting our interview, and I also wish player Kurosawa success in tomorrow's game."

"I am Li Weiren, and I will take you to listen to Haitang's different voice."

The program ends.

Kurosawa and the host looked at the camera with a smile and waved to the audience.

"call--"

When the filming ended, Kurosawa let out a long breath.

His body sank into the sofa.

Although he didn't have much nervousness about appearing on camera, and his performance was generally decent, it was his first time to participate in a program, and it was a live broadcast that lasted for fifty minutes, so he couldn't say he was comfortable.

Li Weiren looked at Kurosawa, who was so soft on the sofa, with a smile on his face that was different from the formula in the show.

At this moment, Kurosawa is what a sixteen or seven-year-old boy should look like. When he is interviewing, he often feels that he is facing a mature player in his twenties or thirties, rather than someone who has only been on the field for a few months.

of new stars.

Kurosawa slapped his knees.

During the entire live broadcast, in order to avoid being screenshotted and made into emoticons, he paid great attention to his expression and posture. Now he suddenly relaxed and his body was actually a little tired. It felt like he had gone through a training session.

"Thank you for the interview. I'm sorry to cause you trouble when you are so busy."

"It's my first time on a show and I have no experience. I'm too nervous. I hope I don't make a fool of myself." Kurosawa shook his head.

"Don't worry. Among all the people who are being interviewed for the first time, Kurosawa, your performance is the most natural." The host praised.

"Thanks."

Kurosawa didn't know whether he was sincerely complimenting him or just saying it for fun, but no matter what, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"By the way, player Kurosawa, can you sign your autograph for me?"

The host took out several white T-shirts from somewhere and handed them a black marker at the same time.

"no problem."

Kurosawa took the clothes and pen.

Looking at the clothes, I was a little surprised.

These pieces of clothing are his player peripherals that are officially sold during the main stage of the Spring Split. Each piece of personal peripherals can bring him a certain amount of income.

The design of the T-shirt is not too complicated, it just has a personal animated big head image printed in the middle, and there is a corresponding number below.

It is now out of print.

"I bought these clothes during the spring game. This one belongs to my wife. This one I bought for my daughter. This one is for collection. I was lucky. I bought it in the first two days. I originally bought it on the last day.

I wanted to buy a few more pieces, but found they were sold out," the host explained.

"I didn't buy it." Kurosawa smiled.

He fainted immediately after the game. When he wanted to buy a few pieces as souvenirs afterwards, they had already shown a "sold out" status. In the end, he got two pieces from the inside thanks to the relationship between the competition team.

Among the many player peripherals in the Spring Split, Kurosawa’s personal peripherals are undoubtedly the best-selling ones.

It was okay in the first two or three rounds, but when he entered the finals and showed his professional-level strength, the peripherals started to sell out.

Collections of first-season peripherals of popular players are particularly valuable.

Especially some special numbers can even be listed on some trading websites and sold at high prices.

Some time ago, the income from peripheral sales was credited to Kurosawa's account, totaling over six hundred thousand.

Before the start of the Spring Split, the tournament team did not expect Kurosawa's peripherals to sell so well. He only produced 10,000 pieces of peripherals, which was seriously insufficient. On the day of the finals, many people wanted to buy peripherals but they were all out of stock.

Otherwise, the sales share will be higher.

"Can I sign here?"

"Ok, Ok."

Kurosawa carefully signed each piece of clothing with his name.

Li Weiren looked at the name Kurosawa signed on the clothes and nodded with satisfaction.

Because of his position, he was able to come into contact with many great masters in the world of elf masters, and he accumulated a lot of autographed souvenirs.

There is even a piece of calligraphy written by a former minister of Haitang City.

The Kurosawa in front of him was obviously only a professional, and his status was completely incomparable to that of a master elf master, but he suddenly had an inexplicable hunch that perhaps these peripheral items would become his most valuable collection.

The host and Kurosawa briefly chatted for a few words, took a photo together, and then said goodbye and parted.

...

July 4th.

The Haitang City Summer League auditions have officially begun.

Perhaps it's because this year is a big year for elf competitions, and the city-level summer league can also be regarded as a warm-up before the world competition, and the air is filled with a warm atmosphere.

Not only the players, but also the fans waiting to watch the event are gearing up.

Be prepared to engage in literary battles with rival fan groups on various social media platforms.

Because elf masters are in a competitive relationship in the competition, the relationship between the players' personal core fan groups will naturally not be very harmonious.

Sometimes it even happens that two players are obviously friends who talk about everything, but their fan groups are quarreling with each other.

Of course, this situation is still a minority. In most cases, disputes among fan groups are still based on confrontations between players.

For example, Lin Daqing and Ji Qingwen, Kurosawa and Lin Daqing are the fierce conflicts among fan groups on Haitang Forum.

Knowing that Ji Qingwen and Kurosawa have a good relationship and have a common enemy, their fans have formed an alliance.

On various local forums, Lin fans were overwhelmed by the like-minded little black guys and fans of Ji Qingwen.

But there is no way around it.

Xiao Heizi is now in a favorable situation in Haitang, and he is proud of the spring breeze.

【Zeshen really brings evildoers】

[Watching the audition for the first time, is there anything I need to pay attention to?]

[Zeshen is invincible, support Zeshen Olive Ji Qingwen]

[Reversal at a glance]

[Can Lin fans still speak loudly?]

【I have always been a pure Ze fan】

[Lin Fan started to wear skin again, so skillful]

[How to evaluate Lin Daqing’s successful revenge on Zebao in the summer games]

[Still speaking harshly]

Extraordinary competitive forum, Haitang local section.

Starting in the early morning, the number of posts began to surge.

There are those who support the contestants, those who are negative, those who are rhythmic, and a mixture of good and bad. The Internet is really exciting.

To a certain extent, the rhythm off the court is not even inferior to the real game.

...

Kurosawa changed into his training clothes and took care of them briefly in front of the dressing mirror.

I saw many people sending him messages on WeChat asking about watching the auditions. There were too many people to reply to them one by one.

I can only send a message to a circle of friends to give a unified explanation.

Basically, I explained the official rules of the competition group in my own words.

Due to the large number of participants in the auditions, in order to save time, contestants are not allowed to bring their relatives and friends into the venue to watch the competition. I hope everyone can understand.

Maybe Kurosawa could say hello to the tournament team and maybe bring some people in.

But he doesn't intend to break the rules.

In this regard, Kurosawa's parents are also very supportive of him. They understand the rules of the auditions and encourage him to strictly follow the rules of the competition group.

As for the game, they watch it on the online live broadcast platform.

Because of Kurosawa, they are already very familiar with the process of watching live games on computers, and they can quickly find the number of Kurosawa games in many camera seats and live broadcast rooms.

The breakfast needs were met in the restaurant of the alliance base.

Sandwiches, steamed eggs, and a few boxes of fresh strawberries, it was a good meal.

Go up the stairs to the arena.

"boom!"

As soon as you enter the arena, you will see a crowd of people.

A huge sound enveloped Kurosawa's ears.

The repeated broadcasts overhead, the conversations of people around, the shouts of the staff, and the shouts of the elves were all intertwined.

It wasn't until this moment that he truly felt the real difference between the Summer League and the Spring Split.

Looking around, there are elementary elves everywhere, and intermediate elves are not particularly rare either.

Even though the number of people participating in the auditions has gone through the preliminary screening, it is still much more than the auditions at the same time in the spring split.

As soon as Kurosawa entered the arena, he attracted a lot of attention.

Worshipful, confrontational, disgusting, appreciative...

Not only from the players, but also from journalists who have obtained media qualifications to enter the venue.

"Kurosawa, would you like to be interviewed by us? I am..."

"Player Kurosawa, this is the live broadcast room where Haitang's small blackboard commentary is conducted. Can you say hello to the viewers who support you..."

Upon discovering Kurosawa, the reporters' eyes suddenly lit up, and they surrounded Kurosawa like sharks smelling fishy smell.

Some reporters were interviewing other players even before discovering Kurosawa.

However, after seeing Kurosawa, I immediately gave up the current interview without any nostalgia and turned to Kurosawa.

Kurosawa took a step back, and with a gun and a microphone that he wanted to put into his mouth, he simply responded to a few questions, and then saw someone in the crowd in the distance waving to him.

"Kurosawa, here."

"Sorry, I have to prepare for the game."

Kurosawa folded his hands and apologized.

The staff not far away also cast a stern look and quickly came closer to separate Kurosawa and the reporters.

Reporters can only interview players voluntarily, and cannot stalk or interfere with the process of the event. Media who violate the regulations will be blacklisted by the event team and lose the rewards for their next entry.

Opportunities for first-hand information.

Although I say this, under normal circumstances, as long as it is not too serious, the staff will turn a blind eye.

They are also busy. They have to arrange group work, manage the venue, and allocate personnel. How can they have so much energy to care about whether reporters are conducting media activities in strict accordance with regulations.

However, Kurosawa's situation is special. The minister personally named the person in charge of Haitang's racing team as the person in charge of his attention, so he cannot be careless.

Of course, the focus here does not involve specific competition matters.

Just outside the arena, we need to provide care as much as possible.

"Kurosawa, here, here!"

A young man 1.8 meters tall waved to Kurosawa in the crowd.

Kurosawa squeezed through.

"Lao Mai."

This person is Kurosawa's opponent in the first round of the Spring Split.

The two of them should have had nothing in common, but after the game, the other party took the initiative to talk to Kurosawa in his player tunnel and exchanged contact information.

In addition, they sometimes communicate on WeChat, so the relationship between the two is not unfamiliar.

Mai Xianghai stretched out his fist and punched Kurosawa on the shoulder.

"The champion players are different. They are so popular! They are so busy even before the competition."

His expression was one of narrow-mindedness.

"It's not a good thing, it's always troublesome..."

Kurosawa shook his head.

"Lao Mai, you... your strength has improved very quickly."

Suddenly his brows raised.

Sensing the spiritual energy coming from Mai Xianghai, he said in surprise.

But if you think about it carefully, his psychic ability was very close to the professional level during the spring split.

It’s not surprising that we crossed this threshold in a few months.

He is twenty-one years old this year. At this age, he has broken through to a professional-level psychic power. Although he is not amazingly talented, compared to the vast majority of psychic awakeners, his qualifications are already very good.

"Thanks for sharing my experiences with you." Mai Xianghai shrugged.

"But I'm definitely incomparable to you. I hope that when the lot is drawn, I won't draw you Kurosawa. I want to go through a few more rounds."

Having said this, his face showed exaggerated dissatisfaction.

"You guys are really disgusting. You can obviously enter the main competition directly, but you come here to torture me, right?"

While the two were communicating, some friends of Su Bei and Mai Xianghai also came over.

Not long after, the warm-up background music started playing from the radio overhead.

"It has been detected that you are participating in the elf division competition - Haitang Summer Cup auditions. The current competition level is rated as: municipal two-star."
Chapter completed!
