Chapter 126 World Cup Qualifiers

Sunday morning.

Under the vigorous publicity and operation of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, a piece of news unsurprisingly topped the list of hot searches.

"Master Gu is coming back out of the rivers and lakes, aiming at the Dayang World Cup!"

Gu Ci felt that the title was a bit of a secondary, but the netizens who got up early were in an uproar.

"Master Gu actually wants to compete?"

"Confirmed, the news was released by the association, it cannot be faked, Master Gu really wants to play the World Cup!"

"Yeah! I can see my husband again!"

"Wait, what's the matter with Master Gu's team list, why don't I know any of them?"

"Damn it, Xia Zhi, Fukada Yongxin, Su Xiaoyan... Isn't this the top three bosses in our grade?"

"What do you mean upstairs? This is a student team?"

"Yes, student, I'm only a sophomore this year."

"Oh, Master Gu is going to be cold, the one-day tour for the qualifiers is scheduled..."

The International Competition Committee has clear regulations, including the coaching staff and card maker team, once the participants are confirmed, they cannot be changed.

In other words, like the last instant champion, it is okay to change teams before the start of the qualifiers, but not after the start of the qualifiers.

A day trip is really a day trip.

There was no news at all before, and most people thought that Gu Ci would not participate in this World Cup, but they did not expect that on the day when the qualifiers started, Master Gu would suddenly be on the trending list, let alone that Master Gu would bring A student team... a sophomore team.

How to fight this?

"Didn't someone say that Master Gu is a coach at Xinglan Academy? Maybe he wants to take his students to see the world."

"Forget it, it's all Master Gu's own choice. Even if you want to change teams, it's too late."

"I just feel that it's a pity. If Master Gu joins a strong team, maybe the champion of this World Cup will be ours."

Netizens sighed, and they were not optimistic about this.

It's not about anyone, the gap between the student team and the national team is there, and the latter is obviously worthy of a better card.

The student team is inexperienced, and a set of epic legends won't work if you hold them in your hands. Isn't that a waste of resources?

"Xia Zhi, they look down on you."

Gu Ci was reading the news while having breakfast at home.

Xia Zhi corrected: "They are questioning Gu Ci's vision."

Gu Ci said: "If you question my vision, don't you also look down on you?"

Xia Zhicai didn't care, took a spoonful of porridge and put it into his mouth: "If you look down on it, you can look down on it, as long as Brother Gu Ci can look down on it."

"I also look down on it." Gu Ci said deliberately, "Unless you kiss me."

Xing Wu suddenly stopped her chopsticks and looked straight at Gu Ci.

Is this guy getting more and more courageous, daring to flirt with Xia Zhi in front of his face?

Gu Ci was not afraid of Xing Wu's gaze at all, and even raised his eyebrows, provocatively saying: "You can kiss me if you have the ability?"

Look at this abacus... Xing Wu spat lightly: "It's a good idea."

"Sister Xingwu, Brother Gu Ci asked me to kiss him, I don't want to..." Xia Zhi said solemnly, and quickly pecked Gu Ci's side cheek.

"Hmph." Xing Wu stepped on Gu Ci's instep unceremoniously.

Gu Ci gasped, "Hiss..."

So hard!

Xing Wu continued to eat.

Gu Ci rubbed his feet, full of resentment: "It's fine if you don't kiss me, but you still step on me."

Xing Wu raised her eyelids and looked at him: "Why did I kiss you?"

"Xia Zhi should have won the card game yesterday, right?" Gu Ci argued, "If you lose, shouldn't you kiss me?"

For Xia Zhi's European emperor physique, Gu Ci is still very confident.

A good day starts with a good morning kiss, a bit late but better than never.

It is necessary to help the two girls develop this good habit earlier.

Xing Wu hasn't answered yet, Xia Zhi has already started to feel guilty when she heard this question.

When she helped Gu Ci take Xing Wu's sweet kiss away last night, she never thought that Gu Ci would remember it this morning.

The girl quickly gave Xing Wu a wink: A draw! draw! Tell Brother Gu Ci that we are tied!

Xing Wu suddenly laughed, and the corners of her mouth curled into a beautiful arc: "Xia Zhi won, but she told me not to kiss you, just kiss her. I kissed her, so I don't owe you any more."

Gu Ci: "?"

Slowly turned to look at Xia Zhi.

However, the girl pouted, her face full of grievances, she hugged his arm and dawdled, accusing Xing Wu of his evil deeds last night: "Brother Gu Ci, you don't know how bad Sister Xing Wu is, she took advantage of me If you don't pay attention, you actually hit my chest..."

The topic was successfully transferred by Xia Zhi.

Gu Ci's eyes were wide open, looking at Xing Wu, his lips were slightly parted, as if he was overly surprised, he didn't hold back a word for a long time.

Xing Wu's cheeks were flushed, and she said calmly: "They are all girls, is there any problem if you touch them?"

Xia Zhi shook Gu Ci's arm in the air of tea: "Brother Gu Ci, look at Sister Xingwu, she bullies me!"

The words in Gu Ci's mouth were finally suppressed, and it sounded like he was asking: "How could you treat Xia Zhi like this?"

Xing Wu snorted softly: "Isn't she my sister? Is there a reason for a sister to bully her?"

Gu Cihu Duzi said: "But she is also my sister, before you bullied her, did you ask my opinion?"

Xing Wu had a tough attitude: "Then let me tell you now, I will bully her tonight, what do you want to do?"

Gu Ci said seriously: "Please call me together!"

Star Dance: "..."

Xia Zhi: "???"

What's the meaning? Bully yourself together?

The girl didn't know what to think of, her pretty face flushed, and she threw away Gu Ci's arm, "Brother Gu Ci, forget about necrosis!"

Gu Ci suppressed his laughter, stretched out his hand and rubbed the girl's head, he knew that the girl would not be really angry.

His palm stroked the girl's fine black hair.

Xia Zhi could feel the warmth and tenderness in Gu Ci's palm, it was so warm and comfortable, it flowed into her heart like melted chocolate.

Xia Zhi likes this, but Brother Gu Ci said just now that he would bully her with Sister Xingwu. If she is patted by Brother Gu Ci, she will turn into a well-behaved kitten. Kneaded?

How can that work!

Xia Zhi felt that she had to express a firm attitude of resistance.

So she turned her head to look at Gu Ci.

Just when Gu Ci was about to look at her.

"snort!"

He turned his head all of a sudden and buried himself in his meal.

Hey, you little girl, you've learned to be tsundere, right?

Gu Ci couldn't help but patted the girl's head again.

Looking at this scene, Xing Wu felt a sense of warmth in her heart, but the warmth was also a little sour.

Although she got used to it a lot in the past two months, after all, how could it be possible for her favorite person not to be jealous at all?

In a daze, Xing Wu saw that Gu Ci also stretched out his hand towards him. The sun shone on the back of his hand, which made people feel that this hand was very warm.

Xing Wu didn't hide, she lowered her head slightly, let Gu Ci rub her head as if coaxing Xia Zhi, and picked up the spoon to sip the porridge without saying a word.

The strange thing is that Xing Wu felt that it was a little sweet porridge with preserved egg and lean meat. After eating it, he felt happy.

She unconsciously curled the corners of her mouth... well, it doesn't seem sour anymore.

...

After breakfast.

Xing Wu did not return to Cali.

Anyway, Gu Ci had already seen that her injury was healed, so she was more generous and stopped pretending.

Xing Wu changed into simple casual clothes and went out with Gu Ci Xia Zhi.

The three of them hailed a taxi on the side of the street and went to the nearest Star Card Master Club to Xinglan Academy.

The rules of the World Cup qualifiers are relatively simple, and the occasion is not as formal as the knockout match.

Counting the county level, every large-scale club in hundreds of cities across the country is the venue for the qualifiers.

After registering, tell the referee when you are ready, and the fight will start directly, without any inked links such as drawing lots.

In principle, after a team selects a club, it has to play all the teams that signed up for the club one after the other.

There are only two exceptions.

In the first case, the number of defeats of your own team reaches three times.

It should be noted that this number of defeats is accumulated throughout the qualifiers and is not limited to the club's schedule.

When did you lose three games, and when did you go home to farm.

As a big country in the East, the country has three places for the knockout round.

Losing three games means that there are at least three teams better than you, and this spot will definitely not fall to you.

The second case is not much different from the first case. It also means that the total number of defeats has reached three times, but it is the number of defeats of the opponent.

They have already been eliminated before fighting you, so you naturally don't need to fight them again.

So if you are lucky, you can play a lot less.

But if you want to take advantage of the loopholes, you can't.

The qualifiers are not knockout matches. There is no such thing as a bye. If a team is eliminated, the referee team will immediately arrange another team for you until the teams that have not played before are eliminated.

Good luck is reflected in finishing the club's competitions, and maybe one or two more days to prepare for the next round of city-level competitions.

After the municipal level, there are provincial and national levels.

There is no doubt that World Cup qualifiers are long and grueling.

The main reason is that I was tired. For more than one or two months in a row, I had to play basically every day, and it was very likely that I played more than one or two games.

There is hardly any rest time.

This is very similar to the original Xingdong Card Creator Competition.

They all squeeze the star card master's potential, endurance, and perseverance.

If you want to stand out from the vast number of participating teams and get a place in the knockout round, you really must have very strong overall strength.

...

Come to the club.

"Coach Gu!"

Lei Meng and the students were already waiting at the door.

Gu Ci nodded with a smile: "It looks like you're in good spirits."

Xu Tuantuan laughed straight: "How can Coach Gu be in good spirits, don't you think so?"

"Yeah, we can't compare to Coach Gu." All the students booed.

Leaving the school, everyone's identities are no longer teachers and students. The little guys are easy to talk to with Gu Ci and Lei Meng, and their courage has grown up. Their eyes cut back and forth on Xing Wu and Xia Zhi, and they all smiled It's full of gossip.

They have seen this beautiful big sister, the big star card master hidden on Coach Gu!

The point is not the big star card master, but hiding on Coach Gu, hehe...

What is the most important thing?

Xia Zhi's classmate is also here!

The three of them came together!

Everyone has been together in school for so long, who doesn't know the little secret between Xia Zhi and Coach Gu?

But unfortunately, the beautiful big sister and Xia Zhi seem to be in harmony, which is very intriguing.

Coach Gu seems to be a bit of a bully...

"I think you guys have been resting for a few days without training, and your skin is itchy." Gu Ci snorted, "Even the coach dares to tease you. After the game, all of you will go back and run laps for me."

"Don't, don't, Coach Gu, we were wrong!" Xu Tuantuan covered his eyes, "We didn't see anything, we didn't know anything!"

All the students: "Ah, yes, yes, yes!"

Gu Ci glared at the little fat man: "You are the only one who talks too much."

Xing Wu took the initiative to explain: "I am Xia Zhi's older sister, and I came to watch her play."

All the students said "Hey": "So it's Xia Zhi's sister?"

In one sentence, the relationship with Gu Ci was cleared up.

Xing Wu is used to being arrogant and arrogant, and doesn't care much about other people's opinions.

But Xia Zhi is different, the girl is still a student, these little guys are her classmates, if they let them guess, Xia Zhi will be very embarrassed.

In case some remarks like mistress come out, how will Xia Zhi get along with them in the future?

Xing Wu thought of this when she went out. She couldn't stay in Kari forever, and the three of them would always appear together, so it's better to settle the superficial relationship early.

In such an occasion, temporarily lend Gu Ci to Xia Zhi for use, lest the girl be gossiped.

In fact, Xia Zhi is not as fragile as Xing Wu thought, she chose to stay on her own, and she was naturally prepared to face gossip, but Xing Wu's words made Xia Zhi feel like being held in the palm of her hand. The feeling of protection.

Brother Gu Ci doted on him, and Sister Xingwu also doted on him.

So happy.

The girl blinked, looked at Gu Ci, then at Xing Wu, then stood on tiptoe and whispered in Xing Wu's ear: "Sister Xing Wu, let me tell you quietly, I like you so much."

"Tch." Xing Wu curled her lips and took her sister's hand: "Let's go, I signed up."

Looking at the backs of the two young girls holding hands, Gu Ci couldn't help sighing: "That's great."

Lei slammed into his shoulder: "Is this what you said on the phone last night, Xia Zhi's sister?"

Gu Ci nodded: "That's right."

Lei Meng stroked his chin and smacked his lips: "Tsk, no wonder Xia Zhi is so talented, so it's hereditary."

"Yes, heredity." Gu Ci was in a happy mood, and put his arm around Lei Meng's shoulder, "Let's go, let's sign up."

Su Xiaoyan and others followed behind.

The way to sign up is not complicated, one form per person, fill it out and submit it.

Passing through the reception hall of the club is a square and square building.

The layout inside is like a football field, but it is much larger than a football field, and can accommodate six groups of teams to duel at the same time.

There were already quite a few people in the auditorium, but none of them were spectators, they were all teams who had come to participate in the qualifiers and were waiting to play.

"You have ten minutes to prepare."

The staff at the arena handed Gu Ci a hand card, number 88.

It's quite auspicious, Gu Ci thought to himself, is it Director Jia's idea to use the cards in his hand to mark them?

Xia Zhi grabbed Gu Ci's wrist, trying to see what the number was, but when she saw it, she blushed and lowered her head silently.

Gu Ci began to arrange the lineup.

"In the first round, Xia Zhi, Fukada Yongxin, Su Xiaoyan, Xiao Zijin, Xu Tuantuan."

"The second round, Xia Zhi, Su Xiaoyan, Xu Tuantuan, Xin Mengxiao, Xu Chuan."

"The third round, Xia Zhi, Fukada Yongxin, Xiao Zijin, Zhang Tian, ​​Xin Mengxiao."

"In the fourth round, Xia Zhi, Xiao Zijin, Xin Mengxiao, Zhang Tian, ​​Xu Chuan..."

After Gu Ci finished announcing who would play in the first ten rounds, Xia Zhi tugged at the corner of Gu Ci's clothes and asked in a low voice, "Brother Gu Ci, why do you have me in every round?"

"It takes more work for those who are capable." Gu Ci said seriously, "Fight hard, your brother Gu Ci doesn't want to lose a game."
