Chapter 9 Selection Begins!
Cao Bo sent Zhang Tian to lie on the sofa. Although it was a sofa, it was many times more comfortable than an ordinary bed.
Although Cao Bo has many questions in his mind, such as what kind of task the family selected this time will take on in the end; those guys with the banners of Oda Nobunaga, Joan of Arc, King Arthur and so on are obviously not themselves, but why do they use other people's names?
However, these things are far from what Cao Bo can think clearly. He believes that with the beginning of the next competition, the answers to those questions will emerge one by one, and the ultimate purpose of this organizer will be revealed in the following time.
The night passed quickly. When Cao Bo woke up the next morning, he found that Xia Menghan and Jin Haoyue had been ready for a long time, and not only were they, but also Sima Yi and others were already waiting by their side.
"What time is it?" Cao Bo rubbed his eyes, but he didn't expect to sleep so badly last night.
"It's a little more than eight o'clock." Xia Menghan told Cao Bo that Sun Xiao had just sent someone to come and informed Cao Bo to gather in the hall at nine o'clock. Maybe the organizers would start this selection competition.
Cao Bo saw that the time was almost time, so he quickly got up from the sofa and cleaned it up randomly. However, Xia Menghan and Jin Haoyue said that since this action was so formal and the scene was large and he wanted to meet all kinds of heroes, it was necessary to clean up well.
So these two girls dressed up Cao Bo from top to bottom, with Cao Bo's original handsome appearance. Now it looks like Cao Bo is simply brilliant. If he participates in the talent show, he will definitely attract a lot of people's attention.
Cao Bo and others spent the rest of their time eating breakfast quickly. Fortunately, their residences were scattered around the hall, so Cao Bo and others quickly came to the hall, and by this time the other families had arrived.
Now the leaders of several families are sitting on both sides of the luxurious long table in the center of the hall. Because the game is about to begin, everyone is still a little nervous. As a result, when Cao Bo enters the venue, except for a few people who found it, the rest of them are looking at the empty seats at the long table, and the host should also log in according to time. It's on.
Because Cao Bo and Liu Yan joined temporarily from the periphery, their seats are the closest to the gate, so that Cao Bo can quickly sit in his own position and avoid being discovered by more people.
"You are really calm!" Liu Yan's hands lay on the table, and then put his upper body slightly to Cao Bo and whispered, "You didn't give up so early, did you?" Cao Bo can only smile as an answer. In fact, it is quite difficult for Cao Bo to say that such a competition is quite difficult. You should know that even Liu Yan has poured out. With so many people helping him, Liu Yan naturally has some advantages.
However, Cao Bo lost the general repeatedly in the last qualifying competition. Now, in addition to Sima Yi and Jiang Gan accompanying him, only Xia Menghan and Jin Haoyue are left to sit beside him. In terms of strength and confidence, Cao Bo is much inferior.
So since he is the weakest, as such a role, Cao Bo has put down all the burdens, because no one will have hope for him. As long as Cao Bo does what he should do, no matter what the result is, he will be acceptable.
Of course, Cao Bo still hopes to win in his heart. After all, this is a comfort to those dead subordinates, and the sacrifices of Xia Houyuan and Xu Chu are not in vain.
Although the seating arrangement was not clearly stated, Cao Bo knew that it should be ranked according to the status of these people. The four people on the left were Sun Xiao, Oda Nobunaga, Joan of Arc and Cao Bo, and the mysterious man named Zhang Mo last night actually ranked first on the right! Next are Arthur, Shi You and Liu Yan.
Cao Bo didn't know who Zhang Mo was, and even Zhang Tian didn't know the name of that guy. It seemed that he didn't know anything except for his name. However, when he saw the order of the seats, Zhang Mo was on an equal footing with Sun Xiao, knowing that this guy's backstage must be very hard.
And it can also be seen that Sun Xiao's strength is by no means a false reputation. Since these families have no objection to such a row of seats, it means that they may have acquiesced to this superficial order of family power in their hearts.
When Cao Bo's eyes swept to Shi You sitting diagonally opposite him, he found that the other party was also looking at him angrily! It seems that last night's conflict made Shiyou have a grudge against Cao Bo. The next moment, when the fat man unscrupulously stretched out his right middle finger, Cao Bo had an impulse to jump over and beat him. Fortunately, the old bell at the end of the long table began to ring, and the people present immediately calmed down and turned their heads. Because a man was walking in quickly through the side door and stood respectfully next to the main seat of the long table.
"Good morning, guests." The man who spoke looked quiet, with a pair of black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose. Cao Bo had seen this guy before, because when he participated in the qualification competition, it was this man named Yang Haiqi who was in charge.
Cao Bo didn't expect Yang Haiqi to keep saying that he was just a small role, but he could appear here. It seems that this person is by no means as simple as he said.
"If you think we don't have any good hospitality, please forgive us. If there is any reasonable need, please also bring it up, and we will try our best to meet it." Yang Haiqi spoke respectfully and modestly. He knew who was sitting below, so he couldn't say anything wrong.
Originally, everyone came for one purpose, just to join Noah's Ark's plan, so there are not so many demands on other aspects. What's more, the conditions here are not bad, and they are equipped with all kinds of equipment, so that these rich children and nobles do not feel any neglect.
However, Shi You still let go of Cao Bo, turned his head and shouted to Yang Haiqi, "What are you?" How dare you say these words here? Don't waste our time. Let your master come out quickly. I'm here to hear what kind of bullshit you are going to make. I'm not here to enjoy it!"
With that, Shi You subconsciously touched the corners of his blue and purple mouth. It was beaten by Cao Bo yesterday. Shi You turned around and looked at Cao Bo stretching out his little finger, and his disdainful expression was overflowing.
"I'm really sorry, everyone. I will host this trial. If anyone has any questions, please let me know immediately." Although Yang Haiqi was hurt by Shi You, what he said was neither humble nor arrogant.
Yang Haiqi looked around a few people at the scene, because he just said that he presided over the audition, so no one wanted to talk too much. After all, this selection is of great importance, which can be said to be related to the future fate of each family. If you don't want to join this action, There was no need to come here, so there was a silence in the hall for a while.
"Before the official competition, we have prepared a rich breakfast for you. Our organizer hopes that all the guests can enter the competition in the best condition, so please choose your favorite breakfast now?" After Yang Haiqi finished speaking, a touch screen rose in front of everyone at the long table. Cao Bo saw all kinds of food on it, and the categories were very complete.
"What the hell?" Shi You was the one who was full of complaints. He muttered and said, "We are here to compete, not to eat!" Do you think this is a restaurant? Although he said so, he was not idle in his hand. He kept clicking on the touch screen to see what he could eat.
"Let me add a word." Yang Haiqi said when everyone chose breakfast: "Because we have prepared an exquisite set meal, in order to save money, every guest can choose a set meal, and the first set meal you ordered is the choice for everyone by default."
Cao Bo knows that this organization should have a large amount of funds, and this selection competition is also invited by the rich families, so it should not be so economical. Cao Bo thought that Yang Haiqi must have his intention to say this. Because Cao Bo had simply eaten something just now, he quickly ordered a list of food. He didn't want to eat too much before the game, so that blood flowing into his stomach would affect the operation of the brain.
After Cao Bo chose, others also chose their favorite food one after another. Just as everyone was leaning on the chair to enjoy breakfast, suddenly different letters appeared on the touch screen in front of him, as well as everyone's basic information!
Cao Bo saw that the letter on the screen in front of him was C2, and in addition to his name, there were two big '0' in his information.
Cao Bo looked at the blonde girl beside him and scanned her screen numbered A1, and the basic information was Jeanned'Arc, '4', '6'. While Cao Bo was thinking about what this information meant, Yang Haiqi explained it to everyone.
"Dear distinguished guests, we have randomly arranged the numbers of their seats according to the food you choose." Yang Haiqi said, "The first number after personal information is a preliminary assessment of the strength of each family. The second number is, of course, the chips that the guests bet for this trial, and each number represents a billion US dollars..."
With Yang Haiqi's introduction, a huge projection gradually fell from the ceiling behind him. After the calculation of the central computer, the message of each contestant appeared on the wide projection screen.
Of course, Sun Xiao ranked first. He was divided into the A2 group, and the comprehensive evaluation and injection of funds for Sun Xiao were '12' and '10' respectively. Cao Bo's mind turned quickly. If it was calculated according to Yang Haiqi's previous conversion method, then Sun Xiao had prepared 10 billion US dollars for this competition! This is enough to show how rich the Sun family is.
Cao Bo looked at the order of the participants and found that each family is a valuable person. Although the comprehensive ability of Shiyou is only '2', the value of the injected funds has reached '20'! Maybe God has arranged it in advance. The group of this Shiyou is C1, and it seems that it will become Cao Bo's opponent...
"What a narrow road for enemies!" Shi You raised his middle finger again, and Yang Haiqi took advantage of the waiter to prepare breakfast for everyone and announced the rules of the first round of competition...
