In fact, Gao Jianfei didn't expect all the events he drew to be things he was good at. He just hoped there wouldn't be too many events he wasn't good at or hadn't tried before! With only 19 days left in the competition, if he drew too many events he didn't know how to do, then piecing together the knowledge and learning it would probably be too late!
Also, of the four projects drawn so far, Gao Jianfei is quite confident in gambling skills, medical skills, and music, except for football.
The fifth item will be drawn!
Schumacher smiled and pressed the Enter key to start! On the giant display screen, a red dot began flashing in the remaining 46 item squares!
What projects will be selected next?
Everyone in the audience, and everyone around the world watching on television or using their computers, was eagerly awaiting the moment!
…… …… ……
Tokyo!
"Wow!" Spider clapped enthusiastically for his son. "Son, you turned the tables! Haha! You made Götze suffer! My good son! Keep it up! Keep it up!"
The little boy continued frantically writing code, muttering to himself... "This time, I'm going to eat him up with 'carpentry'! Eat him up!"
The little boy won a game and his confidence soared! He was ready to go all out and beat Götze in another game!
at the same time!
Götze had just suffered a setback, and his expression was a mixture of panic and defiance. He was frantically typing on the keyboard, writing code... "Fuck! It was my mistake! I made a small error! I won't make the same mistake again! Never! Never! I'll use 'stock trading' to devour his 'carpentry'!"
The two hackers, though separated by thousands of miles, are engaged in an exceptionally fierce battle! The air is thick with the smell of gunpowder!
…… …… ……
Beijing. A stadium.
After waiting for about ten seconds, Schumacher pressed the Enter key to end the session... "Stop!"
Suddenly, the red dot stopped on the small square representing 'carpentry work'!
"Huh? Carpentry?" Song Ying glanced at the big screen, unsure of herself, but she announced loudly, "The fifth project is carpentry!"
Undoubtedly, this was the result Gao Jianfei wanted!
In the battle between the two hackers, Götze's 'stock trading' was decisively devoured by the 'carpentry' controlled by the little boy!
The wind and rain could no longer hold back!
His face turned completely black!
Carpentry? This is arguably one of the worst skills out of 50 different crafts! Although he's mastered carpentry, can carve wood, and make furniture, his wood carvings can only fetch 100,000 to 200,000 RMB on the market. This isn't an achievement to boast about! At the very least, it's not impressive enough!
“Hehe,” Gao Jianfei turned his head and smiled at Feng Haoyu, “Friend Feng Haoyu, carpentry? You look like a scholar, an intellectual. I’m afraid that physical labor like carpentry or blacksmithing is not your forte…hehe, you’re not very good at it, are you?”
"Hmph!" Feng Haoyu snorted coldly. Then, he casually gave Chen Yishi a wink.
Chen Yishi immediately took out his phone, composed a text message, and sent it out.
…… …… ……
Beijing. In the presidential suite where Götze was staying.
Several burly men stormed into the study. These men were all disciples of Chen Yishi, the current generation of disciples of the Kunlun Sect. Having received Chen Yishi's text message, they immediately rushed into the study to warn and intimidate Götze. One of the men, who spoke English, grinned maliciously, "Mr. Götze, if you fail again, then we cannot guarantee your safety!"
"No! I won't fail again! Not again! This kind of basic mistake will never happen again! I swear!" Sweat poured down Götze's face. Suddenly, he turned on the computer speakers, blasting deafening heavy metal music! His entire body began to move rhythmically to the music, and his fingers flew across the keyboard at an unprecedented speed… "I won't lose again! Absolutely not! Hmm? The opponent has taken control of the 'Go' game! No! Not allowed! I'll use 'Brewing' to devour 'Go'!"
Tokyo.
It's boiling over! The suite is boiling over!
The little boy's two consecutive victories caused cheers and jubilation from all the high-ranking members of the Yamaguchi-gumi! They praised the little boy highly and offered him great encouragement.
The little boy grinned triumphantly, winked at his spider father, and then continued writing the program!
…… …… ……
Beijing. A stadium.
Song Ying then introduced the sixth guest: Mr. Robert, Microsoft's Asia Pacific representative.
Mr. Robert was not good with words, and within 5 seconds, he pressed the Enter key twice.
Freeze frame! Freeze the frame for the 6th item!
It's... brewing wine!
"The sixth project is winemaking!" Song Ying announced. "Thank you to our Mr. Robert!"
"Phew..." At this moment, Feng Haoyu finally breathed a sigh of relief. "That idiot Götze has finally won again..."
At this moment, Gao Jianfei's anxiety was gradually subsiding... It didn't matter! Of the first five projects, four were his strengths. As for the remaining six, even if he didn't know any of them, the ghosts who were skilled in those six projects would have enough time in 19 days to learn their specialties. Therefore, Gao Jianfei was no longer flustered.
He leisurely lit a cigarette, took a drag, and casually blew smoke rings. Seeing Feng Haoyu's somewhat tense expression and bloodshot eyes, Gao Jianfei even comforted him, "Friend Feng Haoyu, don't be nervous, hehe, relax."
Subsequently, the 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th items were also successively extracted.
The 7th item... is swimming!
The 8th project... Western abstract painting!
The 9th project... Stone carving!
The 10th item... Spanish bullfighting!
In other words, of the last four events, Feng Haoyu was good at three of them, which were events he had pre-selected. Götze defeated the little boy three times for him!
However, Götze also lost to the little boy once. The little boy's Spanish bullfighting earned Gao Jianfei another victory in one of his strongest events!
This thrilling event of drawing lots has now officially come to an end.
The 10 competition events are...
Gambling! Music! Football! Medicine! Carpentry! Winemaking! Swimming! Western abstract painting! Stone carving! Spanish bullfighting!
Two of the projects, gambling skills and music, were ones that both Gao Jianfei and Feng Haoyu believed they were certain to win.
Then, Gao Jianfei seems to have an advantage in three areas: medical skills, carpentry, and Spanish bullfighting.
Feng Haoyu was particularly strong, and he monopolized the pre-selected spots for the remaining 5 projects.
"I'm still satisfied with the results of the draw. At least seven of the pre-selected events were successfully drawn." Feng Haoyu stood up and sneered at Gao Jianfei, "Gao Jianfei, see you on the day of the competition. You'd better watch yourself!" After saying that, Feng Haoyu left the sports office with Xiaodao and Chen Yishi.
They left before Song Ying, the host, announced the end of the ceremony, which was extremely wild and arrogant.
Song Ying muttered a few complaints to herself. In any case, she was getting more and more annoyed with Feng Haoyu, her man's rival, before announcing the end of the ceremony and letting the audience and guests leave.
Gao Jianfei secretly winked at Song Ying, then slipped out of the gymnasium and took a taxi back to the courtyard house.
On the way, Yamaguchi Harumi called, sounding extremely apologetic. "Jianfei-kun, I'm so sorry! This...this...we didn't do a good job for you! The hacker Götze hired by Feng Haoyu is just too strong. Our hacker, although a genius, lacks practical experience, so we only managed to secure three projects for you...I'm so sorry, Jianfei-kun!"
"Haha!" Gao Jianfei laughed nonchalantly. "No problem! Actually, it's not three projects, but five. Hehe, I'm satisfied! I'll prepare well for the remaining five projects; it's not like there's no chance at all!"
Indeed, there are only 5 projects that Gao Jianfei needs to go to the ghosts to learn special skills.
It's a minor issue, and there's plenty of time!
Even if Gao Jianfei didn't learn all five skills, he might not necessarily lose to Feng Haoyu!
After the 10 items were drawn, Gao Jianfei felt relieved, as if he had finally completed a major exam.
Next, Tang Bao and Fei Long, along with other old friends, called Gao Jianfei to tell him that they had been working on many projects with the Yamaguchi-gumi and were very busy. They had specially taken a flight to come and cheer for Gao Jianfei, managing to squeeze in some time out of their busy schedules. Now that the ceremony was over, they would immediately take a flight back to G Province and would not be visiting Gao Jianfei for the time being.
Gao Jianfei readily agreed, saying that they would get together again after they finished their work.
Back at the courtyard house, Li Yun, Zheng Cuiyun, and the other Emei women rushed over and surrounded Gao Jianfei.
They started asking all sorts of questions... "Jianfei, we saw the ceremony live on TV! How many of the projects you were happy with did you draw? Are you absolutely sure you'd win?"
Gao Jianfei smiled without saying a word... "This is a secret for now! You'll see when the competition starts!"
Not long after, Song Ying returned. After parking the car, she ran over and took Gao Jianfei's hand, saying, "Jianfei, that Feng Haoyu was so rude! I really dislike him. You have to beat him, you absolutely have to win!"
“Okay! I’ll measure it!” Gao Jianfei said with a smile.
Song Ying added, "By the way, Jianfei, you drew the 'football' event. I don't know if you can play football, but Feng Haoyu is very good at it. Also, to compete in 'football,' besides participating yourself, you also need to contact the remaining 10 teammates and substitutes. After all, football is a team sport. Jianfei, if you're not good at football, it's okay. You can just spend money to hire some excellent teammates, right?"
Song Ying has already begun planning the competition for Gao Jianfei.
Gao Jianfei slapped his forehead. "Right! Football is a team sport, I need to find some teammates. But... I don't have any connections in the football world... Ugh! How am I supposed to find teammates?"
This matter truly troubled Gao Jianfei. He could consult deceased world-class football stars, and he could improve his football skills overnight, but what about his teammates? Football isn't a one-man game…
And, having played for Real Madrid, the Spanish football powerhouse known for its formidable strength and legendary status, finding teammates would be incredibly easy for him!
Just as Gao Jianfei was worrying about finding football teammates, his phone rang.
"Huh? It's Lao Pang, a lay disciple of the Wudang Sect and the agent of the big star Liang Xiaoru?" Gao Jianfei asked in confusion. "Why would he call me when I have no connection with him?"
Last time in ZG City, in order to facilitate contact with the 33 allied ancient martial arts sects, Gao Jianfei also gave his mobile phone number to Lao Pang, Chu Chenzi, and others.
"Hey, Lao Pang," Gao Jianfei answered the phone.
"Hello, Mr. Gao!" Old Pang said politely on the other end of the phone.
"Um, why did you call me?" Gao Jianfei asked.
"Oh! Mr. Gao, the Sect Leader instructed us to provide you with all possible assistance! I just watched the draw for your match against Feng Haoyu, and I know you drew 'football.' Mr. Gao, as far as I know, in football matches, you and Mr. Feng Haoyu each need to find teammates. I don't know if you have any connections in the football world, but if it's inconvenient for you to find teammates, I can help you. Several of our Wudang Sect's lay disciples have extremely strong connections in the football world!"
"Oh! Is that so? That's great!" Gao Jianfei was overjoyed; this was like a pillow appearing when he was sleepy. "To be honest, I've been worried about finding teammates! Tell me, what level of teammates can the lay disciples of your Wudang Sect find for me?"
"Hehe!" Old Pang said with a hint of smugness on the other end of the phone, "Mr. Gao, in the football world, we Wudang disciples have a lot of power! Uh, I'm referring to the Chinese football world! One of my junior brothers, also a lay disciple of Wudang, is now the 'Chairman' of the Chinese Football Association! He can contact any team in the Chinese Super League for you and get those players to be your teammates and play for you free of charge! He can even bring over the Chinese national football team to play with you! Just give the word! It's all free! They're available whenever you call!"
Gao Jianfei fell silent.
There was a full half-minute of silence.
Then……
"The Z country's national football team?" Gao Jianfei exploded, "What the hell! You're playing this international joke on me? Get lost! You want me to lose the football match right away, right? That's bullshit! Get out of here!"
After unleashing a torrent of abuse, Gao Jianfei hung up the phone. He muttered, "This guy was deliberately joking with me!"
Chapter 413 The German Team!
Chapter 413 The German Team!
Find the national football team of country Z to be your teammates and compete against the combined team of Feng Haoyu? That's a complete joke!
Gao Jianfei hung up the phone, a smile involuntarily spreading across his lips. He muttered to himself, "I wasn't in a particularly good mood today because Feng Haoyu's stinky face disgusted me, but... the joke Lao Pang just told me really brightened my mood!"
"Jianfei, are you... are you planning to stay in the capital until the competition starts, or...?" Song Ying, who had been standing to the side, asked softly. There was a hopeful glint in her eyes; she naturally hoped that Gao Jianfei would stay.
Gao Jianfei's heart fluttered as he gazed at Song Ying with deep affection. Looking around, he saw the Emei Sect women were not present, so he impulsively pulled Song Ying into his arms, his restless hands slipping inside her clothes, causing her to blush, murmur softly, breathe heavily, and pant. Then, Gao Jianfei said solemnly, "Xiao Ying, I can't stay in the capital for too long this time. I'll stay with you tonight, and tomorrow morning I'll head back to my hometown. There are still 19 days left in the competition, and I must prepare well! The capital is the cultural center of our country, home to many authoritative figures. If I stay in the capital, I'll inevitably have to attend various commercial activities, and countless reporters will come to my door every day. I don't want to be disturbed by these external factors. On the contrary, my hometown is a small third-tier city, suitable for rest and recuperation to prepare for the competition."
