Kurosawa sat up from the bed, stared blankly, and was in a daze for a while.

He turned over and stepped on the ground.

The coolness of the tiles rushed straight up through the soles of his feet, making him shiver.

A beam of warm sunlight shines through the slightly rusty iron window.

He opened the window, and the noisy chirping of cicadas flowed into the entire room along the wind.

The weather outside the window is very good, with blue sky and white clouds.

"ha--"

He stretched.

I haven't slept as late as today for a long time.

At around seven o'clock, his naturally formed biological clock "waked" him awake.

Although he was no longer sleepy at that moment, he still lay back on the bed, checked his cell phone for a while, and fell asleep again in a daze.

Now when I woke up for the second time, it was already eleven o'clock.

The sound of the TV playing and the voices of my parents talking could be heard faintly in the living room.

Even though it was approaching noon, Kurosawa's parents had no intention of waking him up.

He changed his clothes and grabbed the flashcards on his desk.

The flash card where Mum is located has a crystal-like material with a faint fluorescence flowing on its surface, and its energy state is stable.

But Kurosawa knew that this was only temporary.

After Mom has finished digesting the nutrients fed to it in the early morning, there will soon be another urge.

Mumu's path to intermediate promotion was more tortuous than Kurosawa expected, requiring a huge amount of energy.

When he returned to Haitang, his reserve nutritional value was 542 points.

Less than ten days have passed now.

There are only 284 points left, and most of them have been devoured by Sister who has fallen asleep in the past few days.

In addition to Mum, the daily training of Little Shining and Nightmare, who are in the transitional stage of intermediate elves, also costs a lot.

If you want to quickly improve the strength of an elf, it is not enough to just practice hard, you also need to provide sufficient nutrition.

Invest a lot of various elf foods, nutritional values ​​and other resources.

"Brush your teeth and wash up. I'm ready to cook."

Mom heard the sound of the door opening and said.

"Um."

Kurosawa nodded.

This afternoon, Kurosawa is preparing to return to the Haitang Alliance base.

It was not convenient at home, and he was also worried that if the two elves rested at home for a few days and did not maintain appropriate training, it would affect their condition during the main competition.

Kurosawa still has some thoughts about the summer split.

The better he performs in the game, the more rewards he gets.

Personal level experience, coupons and products that will be refreshed after upgrade...

He can't say what specific results he can achieve in the summer split, but he is definitely right to push forward as much as possible.

"Lululu——"

After spitting out a mouthful of white foam, Kurosawa glanced at the system panel.

Elf: Shining Bird

Racial Qualification: Three Stars

Level: Intermediate (transitional level)

Attribute: thunder

Emergy:53.1(???)

Skills: White - Peck lv3 (8→10/20) White - Scream lv2 (9/10) White - Running lv3 (4→6/20) Blue - Angry Combo lv3 (5→6/20)

Dark Blue - Electric Shock lv3 (10→12/20) Dark Blue - Thunder Clothes lv3 (2→4/20) Dark Blue Level Electricity Storage lv2 (2→5/10)

Purple-Thunder Gun lv1(4/5)→lv2(1/10) Purple-Level Thunder Bomb lv1(3/5)→lv2(3/10)

In the few days of training and actual battles in the auditions after returning, although the energy of the two elves was still in the transitional stage, their strength had not stagnated.

Compared with when he first returned to Haitang, all elf skills have been greatly improved.

Little Shining's electric attacks are still progressing very steadily, and the lv3 level elf skills are already extremely proficient.

Based on Kurosawa's current state of mind.

lv1 is the level of acquisition, lv2 is the proficiency in using the skill, and lv3 is proficiency. The elf master and the elves work together tacitly and have some of their own unique understanding of the relevant skills.

For ordinary elf masters, lv2 level skill proficiency is sufficient in most cases in actual combat.

But if the strength is increased, such as when Kurosawa faced "Gao Yi" in the ruins before, when there is a gap in his own strength, higher requirements will be placed on skill proficiency.

Kurosawa had summarized the situation of that battle many days after he came back. After deducing and reviewing it over and over again in his mind, he finally came up with many reasons.

In addition to the discomfort of facing Gao Yi's strange scarlet blood energy for the first time and the gap in his own hard power, his own abilities also made many forced mistakes under high psychological pressure.

The higher the proficiency of an elf's skills, the better it can ensure that he can stably perform at the level he should in various situations.

Purple level thunder bomb lv2 (3/10)

As the next core skill of Little Shining.

The proficiency of thunder bombs improved quickly, but it was not enough. He wanted to upgrade it to lv3 as soon as possible.

Elf:Nightmare

Racial Qualification: Three Stars

Level: Intermediate (transitional level)

Attribute: Dream (weak ghost)

Emergy:52.4(???)

Skills: White - Whipping lv2 (8/10) White - Whispering lv2 (9/10) Blue - Hypnosis lv3 (1→3/20)

Blue-Deep Sleep lv2 (8→9/10) Dark Blue-Dawn lv3 (2→5/20) Dark Blue-Dream Shield lv2 (3→6/10) Dark Blue Prank lv2 (4→7/10)

Nightmare’s various elf skills are also steadily improving.

Among them, the research work on the release of allosomes in deep sleep has made certain progress.

As a passive skill, deep sleep has a very powerful effect.

Nightmare's energy level can catch up with the little Shining later, and it enters the transitional stage only a little later, and deep sleep plays a major role.

After a long period of exploration and experimentation, he and Nightmare finally found the subtle fusion node between deep sleep and hypnosis skills. Now deep sleep can be easily used on Little Shining.

Unfortunately, perhaps due to lack of proficiency, the deep sleep effect released by the alien body is not as good as the one carried by the nightmare itself.

Kurosawa is not greedy either. For him, everything is difficult at the beginning, and being able to achieve a breakthrough of 0 is something worthy of celebration.

...

The auditions have come to an end, but for the official competition team of Haitang League and the viewers who follow the competition, this summer has just begun.

Daily TV programs, car radio channels, offline advertising boards and various promotional banners are all warming up for the main stage of the summer competition.

After the Summer Split, the quadrennial World Championship will follow.

The atmosphere of this Haitang Summer Games is unprecedentedly lively.

On the streets and in coffee shops, you can hear people chatting and discussing the content of elf events such as the Summer Split and World Championship.

Not to mention online forums.

But today, in addition to the repeated debates about the players' hard power competition day after day, there is new discussion content on the forum.

【I am super, why can’t I buy tickets on the official website?】

[Last night, the first round of ticket release lasted for half an hour. Today, the second round didn’t last even one second? How outrageous!]

[Have they all been bought by scalpers?]

glutinous rice

[Looking confused, I go to the scene every season, and this is the first time I have encountered this situation]

[Didn’t I say that the league’s official store will release a batch of first-day tickets at noon today? 】

[Did the official release of tickets really happen? You’re not doing hunger marketing, right? (It turned out to be soybeans, I thought you were the one who made me speechless.jpg)]

【send!】

[Friends who have purchased tickets can send me a private message for triple the price]

[It’s only 13:20 now, the tickets released are gone?]

【Despair, I have money but I can’t spend it.】

[I still wanted to buy tickets at 13:20, so I set the alarm in advance, but even those who came at 12:00 couldn’t get it, so I had to work hard.]

[The third batch of tickets will be released at noon tomorrow, and of course it will be the last small number of tickets. Judging from today’s situation, everyone should be mentally prepared not to be able to buy tickets.]

[As a successful person who has grabbed tickets, I have summarized a few experiences to share with you. 1. Don’t use wifi, use 5g network, which is faster. 2. Select your seat in advance and add it to the shopping cart. 3. Agree

The password-free payment of the software can save the verification stage 4. Start submitting orders five minutes in advance, and don’t stop if you get stuck. I wish everyone good luck and grab the tickets, and please give Kurosawa a little attention.

.]

[Woo, my Dizebao, I still want to post it on site]

[Laughing, the Zebao fan group was still discussing yesterday about choosing seats as close as possible, uniform attire offline, and refueling passwords, but in the end we couldn’t buy tickets at all, hahaha]

[Warm reminder, there are still some tickets on Wheat.com, but the system is a bit stuck and needs to be refreshed like crazy.]

The Haitang City Elf League Base Arena can accommodate approximately 10,000 spectators.

This number of seats is sufficient during normal seasons, and most people will choose to watch the game via TV channels or online live broadcasts.

After all, tickets cost at least two to three hundred, and good bleacher seats even cost several thousand. Watching TV at home not only costs nothing, but also saves time on travel. You can sit on the sofa and drink happy water to watch the game.

Doesn’t it smell good?

In previous years, only the tickets for the summer and winter finals were more popular, and tickets for other games were rarely sold out.

Like this year, it is rare for the first-day tickets to be sold out as soon as they are released.

...

After Kurosawa finished his lunch, he hailed a taxi and rushed to the alliance base. He took the time to look at his cell phone.

He couldn't help but feel strange when he found that several people he knew were asking him in unison whether there were any tickets for the main game here.

Among them are even partners who were still at the registration level before and were performing tasks together.

He didn't think they were asking him for tickets just to save some money.

Sure enough, log in to the forum and take a look.

The Haitang local section is full of discussion posts on various topics about tickets.

Several posts are glowing red, indicating that the number of replies has exceeded 500.

He briefly browsed the content of the post and was a little stunned.

Are tickets for the summer games so difficult to buy? He saw so many people that he even wrote a detailed guide.

Multiple openings, different ticket purchasing channels, precautions for grabbing tickets, and various operational details are just like conquering some difficult dungeon.

It can also be seen from this aspect that the enthusiasm of the audience this summer is far greater than before, and the number of people who want to watch the game live is twice as high as in previous seasons.

Kurosawa had not specifically considered tickets.

Parents plan to book tickets online just like they did in the spring game, but looking at the current situation, it is probably impossible for parents to buy tickets through regular channels.

Fortunately, as one of the sixteen contestants, he should have had votes from some of the contestants' relatives.

However, I don’t know how many tickets I can get if the tickets are so compact.

Two copies from your parents are a must, as well as the club’s sister Xiaozhu, Li Cun.

Tian Cheng, who works at the Suwon Town Office, also needs to pay.

In addition to her daily work, she also manages three large fan groups of 2,000 people for Kurosawa in her free time. Her hard work is very fruitful.

Although Kurosawa has only been diving in the group, it does not mean that he does not pay attention to the situation in the group. As an administrator, Tian Cheng often helps him guide some positive energy in the group, such as quarreling less with other fan groups and lowering his morale.

anger.

And Coach Wang, who specially took time out to watch him play during the preparation process...

After thinking about it, the number of tickets to prepare is really not small.

They may have failed to grab tickets in the first two rounds. Looking at the current situation, they analyzed that it would be difficult to grab the last remaining share tomorrow, so they asked him if there were any extra tickets for the players' relatives.

He roughly calculated that he would need about ten tickets, and other relatives and friends would definitely ask for tickets in the future.

Of course, there are far more than ten people who have asked him about tickets, but he cannot satisfy everyone, and he can only say sorry to some people. The number of official tickets for players' relatives is probably also limited.

Kurosawa was not one to procrastinate and dialed Chi Lei's number directly.

"Hey, Sister Chi. It's me, Kurosawa."

"Well, what's the matter?"

"That's it. I want to order tickets for the main game, can I?"

"Tickets for the main game... no problem, how much do you want?"

Kurosawa noticed the hesitation in the other party's tone and asked carefully.

"Ten?"

"Ten... uh..."

The person on the other end of the phone pondered for a moment.

"Wait a moment, this is a bit...I'll go ask the colleague in charge of this."

"Oh well."

Kurosawa nodded.

There is no way, it is really difficult to buy tickets at this stage.

He took a look at the transaction posts on the forum and saw that many tickets had been sold for several times the price.

He doesn't really want to buy from others, and he's not stingy.

However, on the one hand, the procedure was cumbersome and he didn't know if there were any tricks in the process. On the other hand, he didn't want to give money to some scalpers who were hoarding tickets.

Even though one ID card can only buy one ticket, this year's scalpers, seeing that they are making a profit, will not be deterred by this little trouble, and they all come around like sharks smelling the smell of blood.

After a while, Kurosawa heard Chi Lei's voice coming back.

"I'll get ten tickets for you from the event team. This year's tickets are in short supply. Many players have asked for tickets from relatives, so there aren't enough points. If you ask for them later, they might be gone."

"However, only the two numbers left for your parents are consecutive, the others are non-consecutive, so don't worry."

"It's okay, thank you, Sister Chi."

...

Kurosawa hung up the phone and assured several people who asked him about tickets.

After finishing the chores, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Chi Lei helped him get series tickets so that he could watch the finals from the first round.

He really didn't expect that the atmosphere would be so hot this year.

Scalpers hoarding tickets is just a symptom. The underlying reason is that the number of people who want to watch the game offline has increased dramatically.

Otherwise, the scalpers are not stupid, the tickets will not be sold, and they will be the only ones losing money if they die in their hands.

Kurosawa never liked to cause trouble to others, and at this moment he couldn't help but complain secretly in his heart.

He didn't know whether he was complaining about the lack of seats in the venue, the unfair behavior of scalpers, or other reasons.

Suddenly, an idea came to his mind.

Several messages about his fans actively purchasing tickets on the forum came to mind, and I contacted the group friends I saw in the diving group chat a few days ago to discuss the offline cheering slogan.

He rubbed his chin and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Is there a possibility that the main culprit causing the difficulty in getting votes this year...

Is it actually me?

...

Kurosawa shook his head violently.

No, no, no... I am just an ordinary professional player.
Chapter completed!
