Chapter 646: Halfway Through the Competition
After the crossfire ended, the main screen went back to playing what it was initially playing.
The multiple scenes displayed on the screen were too much for the officials to take in.
The staff would also considerately play some individual scenes of seeded players.
This time, Yin Ruoyi and Cruff were among those seeded players.
But since the competition had, after all, just begun, these players were still overly cautious, so exciting and intense battles had yet to arise.
Other than personnel from the relevant associations, most officials started getting bored.
Hence, there were hushed conversations heard amongst them.
It was a normal phenomenon.
Since Gu Qingjiu sat in the back rows, which was farther away from Nian Chusheng and the rest, she didn’t know those around her.
“How boring. Is this how the competition usually is? It’s not exciting at all,” Someone started grumbling in a low voice.
Looking over, Gu Qingjiu saw that the voice came from a blond man who appeared relatively young. He seemed extremely bored and even yawned.
He added, “I bet putting two dogs in there and letting them bark would be more interesting than what we’re currently seeing.”
Gu Qingjiu frowned upon hearing this.
This man went overboard with his speech.
She looked over, and that blond man saw that Gu Qingjiu had noticed him. He then seemed to realize something.
He lowered his eyes and averted from Gu Qingjiu’s gaze.
Next to him, someone berated him softly, “What sort of place do you think this is? Watch your behavior.”
This was, after all, an international competition, and senior officials from various countries were around. If someone heard him and made a fuss about what he had mentioned, they could easily do it and result in a political scandal.
Only then did Gu Qingjiu retract her gaze.
Honestly speaking, though, there was indeed not much to see at the start.
However, through observing how the players hide, one could infer their habits.
But only people like Gu Qingjiu could interpret their actions. It was torture to these people who couldn’t understand what was going on but had to stay around and watch.
No one dared to voice that opinion, though.
They were here because they had responsibilities to fulfill.
Just then, Gu Qingjiu saw Chairman Song, who was seated in the front row, turn his head and nod in her direction.
Gu Qingjiu didn’t quite understand the meaning of this nod, but she nodded back.
At night time, they asked Gu Qingjiu to go for dinner with them.
When she came out, Nian Chusheng said to her, “Don’t be anxious, night time is when the competition gets interesting.”
“Because it’s ideal to launch an attack late at night?” Gu Qingjiu asked.
Nian Chusheng nodded and said with a smile, “You can come over and watch tonight, but don’t force yourself. The competition will end tomorrow at 3 p.m. When the time comes, they will record the important moments. You don’t have to view it live if you can’t take it.”
“I understand, Commanding Officer Nian.”
Gu Qingjiu nodded, then went to eat with Nian Chusheng and the rest.
At least they could still eat. As for Yin Ruoyi and the rest, they had to stay in the competition venue for the entire night.
When one wasn’t on the battlefield itself, they honestly couldn’t understand the environment in which the competition took place.
But it was not as relaxed an environment as what they might see on the screens.
After eating, Gu Qingjiu merely took a brief rest before re-entering the viewing hall.
The moment she entered, she made it just in time to view an exciting battle.
