Volume 1: This is a world that speaks with weapons Chapter 68: Hot
After Bai Tianhe defeated Wang and his group, the winners and losers of the semi-finals were determined.
The winning group is Qi Ji and Bai Tianhe. Their final battle is scheduled for tomorrow. The winner will become the champion of this year's rookie competition, that is, the rookie No. 1 pick.
The loser group is Qin Zijin and Wang Yihang. They will compete this afternoon to determine the third and fourth place of this rookie competition.
Then there is the afternoon game.
In fact, there is nothing much to say. Although Qin Zijin's soft sword was pierced by Qi Ji, her level is still the highest after Bai Tianhe and Qi Ji. She easily defeated Wang Yihang with an ordinary hard-backed sword and became the third place in the competition.
Tomorrow is the final battle of the rookie game, and everyone is waiting for this moment.
Out of apology for interrupting someone else's weapon, Qi Ji sent Qin Zijin a congratulatory text message.
As a result, this girl took advantage of the situation and insisted that Qi Ji treat her to a meal.
What else could Qi Ji say? He could only reply "some other day".
Then he followed Zang Feng and the others back to the headquarters building.
As soon as I got off the car, I saw a row of people standing in front of the door of the headquarters building. They had also held up a large, tacky red banner with a few large characters written on it.
《Warm congratulations to Qi Ji for successfully advancing to the top four of the rookie competition! 》
What the hell? This is awkward, right?
Qi Ji was pushed forward with embarrassment by Zhang Zizai and others. He shook hands with the leaders who came forward one by one in a daze. There were two photographers on the side taking pictures and recording them faithfully.
This is excellent material for internal group press releases.
After a while, under the leadership of Zhang Zizai, Qi Ji shook hands cordially with several senior leaders, listened to their encouragement, and successfully completed the decent communication unique to adults.
Several people returned to Zhang Zizai's office.
"The fat guy with the round face just now is the big leader of our line, Mr. Chen, whom I told you about before." Zhang Zizai chuckled: "Your current results are really a great honor to him. Do you remember the top contract change I told you about a few days ago?"
Qi Ji nodded immediately: "Of course I remember, how is the progress?"
Zhang Zizai patted his shoulder vigorously and said, "I don't need to guarantee it now. The moment you used the Wuming Sword this morning, the group's stock price rose by 8 points before the market closed! It made Mr. Chen very proud in the board of directors."
"Boss Chen said directly that you don't need to beat Bai Tianhe. After the rookie competition, you will be replaced by the new player Ding Yue!"
Zhang Zizai's face was full of wrinkles from smiling. It was obvious that he had gained a lot of benefits from this wave, as could be seen from Du Xishan who was standing aside with a look of envy.
Qi Ji scratched his head and said, "I mean, my Wuming Sword move is very popular?"
Yan Qing immediately raised his hand: "Brother Qi, don't you know that there is a huge debate on the Internet about your special move? Your competition video has become popular in Sakura Country and Korea!"
The Sakura Kingdom, which lives a good life, and the Goryeo Kingdom, which loves to eat kimchi, have always been at odds with Daxia, and they also don't get along with each other. The three countries can be said to have national hatred and family feuds.
Du Xishan asked in confusion: "Why are people from these two regions joining in the fun?"
Yan Qing picked up his phone and tapped away, then handed it to Qi Ji. On it was a video from a small website. Qi Ji clicked on it to play it. It turned out that the uploader had reposted some discussions from a well-known kendo forum in Sakura Country, and even provided translations.
Yan Qing said proudly, "It all started with the fans from Sakura Country who have been following the Great Xia Rookie Tournament. They uploaded the video of Brother Qi performing the Wuming Sword in the competition and the interview video, and deliberately fanned the flames, questioning the people from the Sakura Country Kendo Association, asking why the moves they have been working on to restore the lost skills of Soten Souji were far inferior to the three-stage thrust created by the talented newcomer from Great Xia."
"Then what?" Du Xishan immediately became interested.
Yan Qing chuckled, "Of course the Sakura Kendo Association refuses to admit that Brother Qi's moves are stronger. They released several well-known ancient restoration videos of the three-stage thrust, comparing each move and explaining how their restored moves are better than Brother Qi's moves in all aspects. The netizens in Sakura Country are not all fools, they can tell the difference at a glance."
After taking a sip of water, Yan Qing continued to laugh and said, "Right now in Sakura Country, people who support Brother Qi and people who support the Kendo Association are almost quarreling on the Internet, and there is also a large group of Koreans adding fuel to the fire. I was so amused today."
The country of Sakura is a bit sick. They have a strong admiration for the strong. So even if Qi Ji is a foreign genius swordsman, just because he created a "three-stage stab" skill that is stronger than their native one, some brain-cramped Sakura people will fanatically support him.
Benefiting from the popularity abroad, Qi Ji, who was already very popular in the martial arts circle during the rookie competition, saw his popularity soar. His blog index and search index suddenly reached a quite exaggerated level. His popularity surpassed Qin Zijin and Bai Tianhe for the first time, making him the most popular person in this rookie competition.
At this time, Qi Ji was listening to Yan Qing's explanation while reading the discussion about him on the Sakura Country Forum. It was indeed very intense. He searched on his mobile phone and found that his name had become a little popular on major portals of Da Xia and had gone viral!
Even on well-known external websites, there are keyword searches for "three-stage stabs".
" Speaking of popularity, I almost forgot to tell you." Zhang Zizai nodded at Qi Ji: "Guanchao is here again!"
It’s only been two days since I rejected it and the sponsor is here again?
Although Dad gave less money last time and Qi Ji didn't like it and refused it, but after all, he is the financial sponsor, so he still has to give him the care he deserves.
Qi Ji immediately stood up and asked, "What do you mean? More money?"
Zhang Zizai nodded and chuckled, "They ran into a wall with Bai Tianhe and Qin Zijin, both of whom are not short of money. Then your popularity suddenly exploded, and they immediately got it back. This time they offered this amount!"
As he spoke, Zhang Zizai stretched out five fingers.
"Five million?" Qi Ji's breathing quickened.
"Yes! Five million to endorse their new series of products! Only for one year. They also made the same promise. If you win the rookie competition, the endorsement fee will be doubled!" Zhang Zizai blushed. "Qi boy, their offer was indeed a little low last time, but this time it's really good, and it only takes one year. I strongly suggest you sign it."
Nonsense, of course I have to sign it! Qi Ji immediately authorized Zhang Zizai to agree to this endorsement.
As long as you win the championship, the endorsement fee will double to tens of millions.
I wanted to scold them, but they gave me too much!
Bai Tianhe, I'm sorry, I really have a very important reason to beat you.
