"Wow! The first item has been drawn!" the audience roared!
Gao Jianfei and Feng Haoyu both looked at the display screen at the same time.
"Gambling skills!"
The first item drawn was... gambling skills!
"Alright, the first item is gambling skills!" Song Ying said cheerfully. She couldn't be happier! Her man was a master of gambling! Now that the first item was gambling skills, it was incredibly advantageous for Gao Jianfei!
Gao Jianfei and Feng Haoyu both smiled inwardly... "Hehe, my hackers are indeed impressive; they followed my plan!"
In fact, both of them had gambling techniques in the projects they reported to the hackers they hired!
So, both of them thought that their own hackers had done the job!
…… …… ……
***Tokyo.
"Hahaha! We won the first round! Hahaha! Well done, kid!" Yamaguchi Harumi laughed heartily. "Gambling skills! In this world, whose gambling skills can defeat Jianfei-kun? Hahaha! Without a doubt, kid, you defeated Götze in the first round!"
"No! Grandpa Yamaguchi, the program they wrote also has a section for selecting gambling skills. Huh? That means Mr. Gao Jianfei and Mr. Feng Haoyu both chose gambling skills..." The little boy shook his head. Just now, it wasn't that he defeated Götze, but rather that both of their programs had gambling skills, so it was easy for the gambling skills section to appear.
…… …… ……
Beijing! The stadium!
"Alright, Mr. Sibel, please return to your seat. We will now finalize the second project!" Song Ying announced with a smile.
Chapter 411 is incredibly intense!
Chapter 411 is incredibly intense!
Once the ceremony officially began, the entire audience, as well as those watching on television and computers, felt tense and excited. Everyone's attention was focused on the entire ceremony and each drawn item. Of course, this concern and attention stemmed from genuine enjoyment of the competition; however, some viewers were also drawn by their lottery tickets.
Among the lotteries issued by major betting companies worldwide regarding this match, there's a type of betting where you predict which items will be drawn in the final lottery. If you correctly predict all 10 items, you'll win a huge prize!
"Okay, next, please welcome FIFA President Sepp Blatter to draw the second event!" Song Ying gestured towards the VIP seats. Blatter then slowly walked out and headed towards the large screen in the center of the stadium. A soft round of applause filled the stadium.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on Blatter, on the finger that Blatter was about to press the Enter key on the computer.
Gao Jianfei and Feng Haoyu, however, were completely oblivious to how the guests were typing. In reality, these guests were just there to go through the motions! No matter how they typed, how hard they typed, or the time interval between each Enter key press… it was all irrelevant!
It's all fake!
What project will ultimately emerge depends on the hackers hired by Gao Jianfei and Feng Haoyu—who is more skilled and who can outmaneuver the other!
"Start!" Blatt pressed the Enter key with great seriousness. Then, just like in the first round, the red dot on the screen rapidly moved across the remaining 49 squares!
Blatt pressed the Enter key to start, but didn't rush to press the End key. He seemed to be building suspense, simply smiling and telling a two-minute-long lame joke into the microphone. Just when the audience was about to explode, he finally pressed the Enter key to end… “Stop! Hahaha!”
Finally, the small red dot of light settled on one of the squares. The second project stood out!
"music!"
The second project is music!
In fact, among the specialties that Gao Jianfei and Feng Haoyu each chose, besides "gambling skills" which they both chose, "music" was also a choice they both made without prior agreement.
Therefore, at this point, Feng Haoyu and Gao Jianfei still believed that this was the work of the hackers they had hired!
However, regardless of the circumstances, Gao Jianfei and Feng Haoyu both knew that Blatt's jokes and attempts to build suspense were completely idiotic! No matter what he did, he couldn't affect the project's trajectory!
“Oh? I actually extracted the ‘music’ category… Haha, perfect timing, I’m actually a music lover!” Blatt joked again before returning to the VIP seats.
"Uh... the second item is... music!" Song Ying said with a bitter tone. She didn't know Gao Jianfei was good at music! But she knew Feng Haoyu was a musical genius! She prayed silently... "Oh God! Please don't draw an area that Feng Haoyu excels in! Our Jianfei isn't good at music! Okay, let's draw something like medicine or painting. Those are Jianfei's strengths!"
…… …… ……
Tokyo.
When Yamaguchi Harumo and Kagawa Masahiro saw that the second item was music, they cheered. After all, Gao Jianfei had released an album, although it hadn't been released yet. However, Yamaguchi Harumo and Kagawa Masahiro had heard every song on it, and they believed that Gao Jianfei was incredibly strong in songwriting, composing, and singing! And, music was one of the specialties Gao Jianfei had chosen for himself!
"Haha! This is a sure thing for Jianfei! Kid, this time, you beat Götze, didn't you?" Yamaguchi Harumi said smugly.
"No! Uncle Yamaguchi, they also chose the 'music' project! Uh... But, there shouldn't be any duplicates in the next 8 projects. The real battle has begun! The battle has begun!" The child's fighting spirit grew stronger, and he frantically typed on the keyboard, writing the program.
He understood that his battle with Götze had officially begun in the next round!
Meanwhile... Götze was also writing code rapidly, a cigarette dangling from his lips. He knew that the first two rounds were coincidences, as both sides had chosen two of the same area of expertise. From the third round onwards, it would be up to him and the little boy to attack and defend against each other and seize territory!
"Haha! Exciting! Exciting! I love this feeling!" Götze laughed wildly.
…… …… ……
Beijing. A stadium!
"Next, please welcome the guests who will draw the third item. This time, we have two guests: Argentine football superstar, Mr. Maradona; and French football superstar, Mr. Zidane!" Song Ying announced with a smile.
Immediately, the short, stout Maradona and the bald Zidane walked hand in hand to the computer. After a brief discussion, Zidane said, "Your Excellency Maradona, would you like to start typing, and I'll finish?"
“Oh, no problem, dear Zidane.” Maradona smiled broadly.
Without exchanging any unnecessary words, Maradona immediately pressed the Enter key to start.
Zidane kept his eyes on the display screen and didn't rush to press the Enter key to end the session.
On the display screen, red dots darted around like ghosts, and no one knew which project they would eventually land on.
but……
On the computer screens of the little boy and Götze, only two squares of items were displayed!
One is 'football', and the other is 'flower cultivation'.
Under the crazy control of the little boy and Götze, their computer screens became... "Football" and "Flower Cultivation," all in an attempt to steal that red spot!
Naturally, football is a sport controlled by Götze, which is advantageous in the face of strong winds and heavy rains;
Flower cultivation is a project controlled by the little boy, which is beneficial to Gao Jianfei;
"Oh! Eat him! Eat him! Flower cultivation! Flower cultivation!" Sweat beaded on the little boy's forehead! Programs were being written out frantically!
On the other side, Götze also began to exert his strength! Through this first formal confrontation, Götze realized that his opponent was very strong and not so easy to deal with! He put aside his underestimation and went all out... "Football! The third event will be football!"
And at this time...
"Smack!"
Zidane pressed the Enter key to end the session!
Suddenly, the small red spot of light flashed onto the square representing the "football" event!
"Ah! It's a football!" Zidane and Maradona exclaimed simultaneously!
What a coincidence! They are the great football stars who represent two eras in the history of modern world football!
It seems like fate that football stars get to draw football-related events!
"Clap clap clap clap!" The entire audience erupted in enthusiastic applause!
Absolutely fantastic! Thrilling!
Some spectators began to whisper among themselves... "My God! Mr. Feng Haoyu is an outstanding football star! He played for Real Madrid in Spain! He's incredibly talented! Hahaha! This project should be very advantageous for Mr. Feng Haoyu!"
Meanwhile, Feng Haoyu was secretly delighted... Ha, Gao Jianfei, everything is going according to my plan! I've already decided on all 10 projects, and you're just sitting here like an idiot, watching this ceremony with me. It's ironic! A huge irony!
Gao Jianfei was puzzled... What? I never chose football, but now I'm in a football category! Damn it, I like watching football, but I've never played it! Looks like the hacker Yamaguchi-kun hired for me has messed up!
"Alright, the third event is... soccer..." Song Ying's heart sank! Soccer! Damn soccer! Gao Jianfei doesn't know how to play soccer at all! She said somewhat blankly, "Next, let's draw the fourth event. Please welcome our respected Mr. Michael Jordan!"
Tokyo!
"Wow! I... at the crucial moment, my program crashed! My opponent is so strong! Waaah..." The little boy cried. "I was only a fraction of a second away from being defeated! Roar!" Between sobs, the little boy howled, "Dad, I want a lollipop! Quick! Next round, I'm going to defeat him! Defeat him!"
"Son, stay calm! Don't be nervous! You absolutely mustn't be nervous! This is a 10-round contest. The first two rounds don't count; there are still 8 rounds left! You've only lost one round! Son, Dad believes in you! You will definitely win the next 7 rounds!"
The spider comforted his son, then took a lollipop from his pocket, unwrapped it, and popped it into the little boy's mouth. While eating the lollipop, the little boy began writing a program! This time, he would use "medicine" to devour the red light spot and defeat his opponent!
Meanwhile, Götze was also sweating profusely… “So strong! I have to say, this is a very strong opponent! Could it be Spider? No! Impossible! Spider isn’t that strong! Just now, I only won one game by a narrow margin! Hmm? My opponent has written a program! It’s 'Medicine'! Don’t even think about it! You won’t get away with it! I’m going to use 'StarCraft' to take down 'Medicine'!”
Two of the world's top hackers have started attacking each other again!
At that moment, in the stadium, Jordan smiled and pressed the Enter key... "Haha! I'm not going to win a basketball, am I?"
This joke caused the audience to burst into laughter.
Feng Haoyu had already crossed his legs, was smoking a cigar, and smiled at Gao Jianfei, saying, "Gao Jianfei, you have no chance, absolutely no chance!"
Gao Jianfei ignored the wind and rain, his eyes glued to the screen!
"Click!" Jordan pressed the Enter key to end the session!
"Wow! It's medical skills! The fourth item is medical skills!" Song Ying couldn't help but excitedly announce under the control of her subjective emotions!
Medical skills! That's Gao Jianfei's forte! If he drew this item, Gao Jianfei's chances of winning are extremely high!
"Huh?" Feng Haoyu's hand trembled, and the cigar in his hand fell to the ground! "Medical skills? How could it be medical skills!"
"Phew..." Gao Jianfei felt much more relaxed, thinking, "Thank goodness, it seems my hackers have turned the tables!"
“Gao Jianfei, you…” Feng Haoyu looked at Gao Jianfei coldly. He originally wanted to say… “You cheated too.” But he had to swallow the words.
Gao Jianfei knew perfectly well what was going on, and shrugged, "Same here. Haha!"
So far in the ceremony, both Gao Jianfei and Feng Haoyu have gained something! It's almost a situation where neither of them has benefited!
However, both of them knew that the seemingly simple drawing ceremony was actually quite fierce!
"Now, please welcome the guest who will draw the fifth item, the German racing legend, Mr. Schumacher!" Song Ying announced.
Chapter 412 The Dust Settles
Chapter 412 The Dust Settles
The fifth guest to draw a competition item enters!
It's Michael Schumacher, the racing legend!
The audience responded with polite applause. However, what the audience was really focused on wasn't the superstars like Zidane, Jordan, or Schumacher, but rather the tense and exciting draw ceremony!
Some viewers who placed large bets on the lottery and correctly guessed the first four events were on the edge of their seats!
Leaving aside the audience, Gao Jianfei and Feng Haoyu were also somewhat nervous. Feng Haoyu had initially been very confident, believing victory was assured. However, the selection of medical skills in the chosen event was completely unexpected! He instantly realized that he had cheated, and Gao Jianfei had cheated as well!
Feng Haoyu glanced coldly at Gao Jianfei, then turned his gaze to Schumacher on the computer and the giant LCD screen.
Gao Jianfei knew in his heart that the hacker that Yamaguchi Haruka found for him seemed to have had both wins and losses in his battles with the hackers from Feng Haoyu's side!
