Volume 1: This is a world that speaks with weapons Chapter 41 Interview
Qi Ji defeated Tianxing’s second seed Xie Shilian in two consecutive games and successfully advanced to the top 16.
As the cheers from the audience gradually died down, Qi Ji calmly left the stage, no longer caring about his opponent who had been strong-willed at first but now inexplicably depressed.
Compared to the death fight in the Tower of Transcendence, fighting in real life while wearing protective gear is just like playing house.
There is no need to feel guilty or sympathetic towards the loser's mental state.
Following Zhang Zizai back to the rest area, they saw several people wearing work clothes of the event organizer, carrying cameras and holding microphones, excitedly waiting for their arrival.
Is this for an interview?
Qi Ji glanced at Zhang Zizai, only to see the other person winking at him.
Qi Ji's body stiffened for a moment, and a feeling of embarrassment spread over him.
But it was no longer up to him.
A minute later, Qi Ji, who was sitting upright, began to face the camera with a smile.
…
Interviewer: "The next person we are going to interview is the mysterious dark horse player, Qi Ji, who won the victory with an absolutely strong attitude and successfully advanced to the top 16 of this rookie competition!"
Qi Ji smiled and nodded: "Hello everyone, I am Cang Feng's new soldier, Qi Ji, thank you for your support!"
Interviewer: "Okay, let's first congratulate Qi Ji for advancing to the top 16. Can you share your feelings about this competition?"
Qi Ji: "Thank you. Well, to be honest, this match was not very intense for me. Although my opponent played very well, there is still some gap between his level and mine, so I can only say that I won fairly easily!"
Interviewer: "We also know that you won the previous games by shooting down the opponent's weapons. Did you do it on purpose? How did you do it?"
Qi Ji: "Oh, my coach told me that I can get 4 more points by knocking down the opponent's weapons . I thought I could finish the fight early and rest early, so I just knocked down the weapons of those players. I want to apologize to them here. I didn't mean to embarrass them. As for how I did it, it's probably because I was born with supernatural powers."
After saying that, Qi Ji in the camera scratched his head and revealed an innocent smile.
Interviewer: "It can be seen that Qi Ji is very confident. We have seen that you have demonstrated great strength and speed in several games. Do you have any training methods that you can share?"
Qi Ji: "In fact, I haven't been in contact with martial arts for a long time, but my coach Zhang Zizai has developed a very scientific training plan and a balanced diet for me. Of course, the reason why I can have this level of strength is mainly because of my talent. My physique is much better than that of ordinary people."
Interviewer: "From what Qi Ji said just now, we heard a surprising message. When you said the contact attack was not long, how long did you mean?"
Qi Ji: "You may not believe this, but I just started learning martial arts this year."
The interviewer's stunned expression appeared in the camera screen.
Interviewer: "Oh my god! A super rookie who has been in combat for less than half a year is actually a hot candidate for the rookie championship. Am I dreaming?"
Qi Ji: "You flatter me."
Interviewer: "Okay, so what are your plans for the future, what are your goals for this competition?"
Qi Ji: "My goal is of course to win the championship! In the future, I plan to participate in the Daxia Professional League in October this year. I hope to show you more of my strength!"
Interviewer: "Okay, thank you very much for sharing, Qi Ji, and congratulations again on advancing to the top 16."
Qi Ji: "Thank you."
…
Ten minutes later, the interview video of Qi Ji was posted on the official website of the Bingji Professional Club Alliance and was pushed vigorously on the same page as the rookie game.
I have to say that the professional league really knows how to play with traffic.
There is no doubt that Qi Ji's tone was low-key, but the content of his speech was Versailles to the point of being arrogant, and the interview clip quickly became popular.
"It's fairly easy", "I have some talent", "I only started learning combat this year", these key words combined with Qi Ji's matter-of-fact expression directly attracted a large number of fans. Naturally, he also angered a large number of black fans who thought he had no clue.
Later, two groups of people on the Internet almost fought each other to the point of bleeding their brains out over him.
Black fans think that Qi Ji is just a lucky, boastful idiot who has no idea of his own abilities yet is so arrogant. Many people have also listed various wonderful video performances of other geniuses in the rookie games in recent years to prove that Qi Ji is just a lucky guy with crude tricks.
At first, the fans were arguing with all kinds of reasons, explaining Qi Ji's strength in various ways, until one fan cut a video of Qi Ji playing several games, in which he always destroyed the opponent's weapons and advanced to the next round, and added a few words "Can your geniuses do it?" After that, all the fans immediately had nuclear weapons.
Then whenever a hater pops up, fans post this video or GIF, and then it's "Can anyone else do this?"
Haters: "Qi Ji is just a show-off."
Fan: “Can other geniuses do it?” ——Picture.
Haters: "Qi Ji is just being crazy. Does he dare to fight with last year's rookie champion Lu Zhongyang?"
Fans: "Can Lu Zhongyang do it?" ——With pictures.
Haters: "Qi Ji was just trying to please by knocking down the weapon. The opponent was weak and hadn't grasped it firmly. He was just calculating without any intention!"
Fan: “Hmm, hmm, then who do you say did it?” ——With picture.
Hater: “Aaaaaaaaah!”
In the end, the black fans were completely defeated and were so angry that they smashed their bowls and couldn't eat.
The above are all follow-up events. Now let’s turn our attention back to the rookie game.
Only after the interview team left did Qi Ji breathe a sigh of relief, feeling that the undershirt inside his protective gear was already soaked.
A simple interview was so terrifying. It was much more stressful than having a sword fight with someone.
Zhang Zizai joked, "How is it? This is your first interview. Is it fun?"
Qi Ji rolled his eyes at him: "What a joke, Lao Zhang, you didn't even remind me that there would be an interview, and you made me answer whatever I wanted."
He didn't show his humility and elegance well!
Yan Qing also came over to join in the fun: "Brother Qi, I envy you so much! You can actually be interviewed, I want to be interviewed too!"
Qi Ji rubbed his dog head and laughed: "Calm down, if you win the next game beautifully, you might be interviewed. Don't be so nervous that you can't speak."
Zhang Zizai also laughed: "Don't worry, Yanqing, after you advance to the top 16, you will be interviewed after every victory. Your interview videos will also be posted on the official website of the Bingji Professional League. Play well and wait to become a star."
Yan Qing's eyes immediately lit up.
