Chapter 67 The World is So Big"Don't worry, Principal. I'm not a person who likes to dwell on trivial matters. If I win the championship, I'm lucky. If I lose it, it's my fate. Just keep a calm mind." Chu Yi smiled heartlessly, and seemed to care even less about winning or losing the game than Zhou Zhiqiang. "It's great that you think so." Zhou Zhiqiang breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "I'm just afraid that you're too proud and too persistent, and you won't be able to accept such a blow after losing." Chu Yi frowned slightly and asked in confusion: "Why do you have such an illusion? Am I usually behaving like a paranoid person?" Zhou Zhiqiang explained with a smile: "To be able to train a pet with a fighting spirit, the beastmaster must be a battle fanatic himself. In their dictionary, there is only one word, and that is winning. Once you fail, your spirit is likely to suffer a severe blow. To use more fashionable terms, your spiritual faith will be shattered and you will never recover from this setback. I’m just worried that you might encounter this situation, so…” "Don't worry, Principal. As the ancients said, victory and defeat are common in the military. I won't sink into despair because of one or two failures." "I feel relieved when you say that." Zhou Zhiqiang looked at Chu Yi with a relieved smile on his face.
He had seen many geniuses, but a genius like Chu Yi, who was so young and yet so mature in thought, was hard to come by in decades. Although Chu Yi is not yet nine years old, Zhou Zhiqiang firmly believes that within ten years at most he will be able to make his mark on the world stage. The national competition is not the end, it is just the beginning. The Youth Olympics and the Morning Star Cup Beast Taming World Championships are where Chu Yi should show his talents. In a few years, Chu Yi will definitely shock the world! Chu Yi didn't know that the principal had already outlined a bright future for him. He was looking down at his phone. Lin Siyao sent a message saying that there will be a fierce battle between Wolong Academy and Beiming Primary School tomorrow, and she will definitely take part in it. It just so happened that she didn't have many friends at school, so if Chu Yi's game ended early, she hoped he could come to watch her game. If she's not free, then forget it, she'll be fine. Chu Yi originally planned to watch this game, so he accepted Lin Siyao's invitation without hesitation. Lin Siyao quickly replied with a thank you and a smiley face. Although it was expressed very subtly, Chu Yi seemed to be able to feel Lin Siyao's joy from these few short characters. I don't know if it's because he has too much imagination. "Okay, I won't disturb your rest. The opponent tomorrow will not be very strong, but don't take it lightly." The principal gave a few instructions and then left the room. Chu Yi lay on the bed and played with his phone for a while, then ordered a dish of fish-flavored eggplant and braised pork for his dinner. The next day, the semi-finals of the national competition. Because there are only four teams left, the schedule is not that tight, so even though the games are held in two venues, the start times are still staggered.
The match at Donghai No. 1 Primary School will start at 9:30 in the morning, while the match at Wolong Academy is expected to start at 10:30 in the morning. This arrangement avoids diversion during live broadcasts and allows viewers to watch every game without having to run back and forth between the two live broadcast rooms. As for why the games have to be held in two venues instead of being held one after the other? Because we need to sell tickets. The organizers also need to make money. The competition is coming to an end, and there are only three chances left to sell tickets. Moreover, the semi-finals and finals will definitely be sold out. Two venues means two tickets. If one less game is sold, it will be a loss of nearly 10 million yuan. Of course, this year's semi-finals were more polarized than in previous years, so the selling prices were also quite different. There is no suspense in the northern half of the region. Donghai No. 1 is the only one that stands out. Not many people are betting on Donghai No. 1 to win in online casinos. Because the odds of Donghai No. 1 Primary School are ridiculously low, the money earned is not enough to offset the casino's cut. But on the other hand, the odds of betting on Donghai to lose by a small margin are extremely exaggerated, and they are still rising as the game approaches. The current odds have reached 1 to 100, so if you spend 10,000 yuan to bet on Donghai to lose, you will lose this 10,000 yuan forever. Are you kidding? With Chu Yi in charge, will Donghai No. 1 lose? Experienced gamblers would only try their luck at a hundred or two hundred yuan at most when seeing this kind of handicap. If they lose, it doesn’t matter, but if they win, they will make a lot of money. As for those who really claim to have emptied their savings in order to try their luck at this opportunity to get rich quickly, they are either casino agents or 100% idiots. Of course, if Chu Yi took the money from the casino and then teamed up with the dealer to make money, that would be another story. In the past few days, some unknown people have contacted Zhou Zhiqiang, hoping to meet Chu Yi and discuss cooperation with him. But as long as it was not an interview from a serious TV station, Zhou Zhiqiang basically blocked it. Zhou Zhiqiang's idea was very simple. There were plenty of ways for Chu Yi to become famous and make money, but he didn't need to do anything shady. Parents have entrusted their children to his care, so as the principal he must take full responsibility. So no matter what price these people offer, Zhou Zhiqiang has only one word: Get lost! At 9:30 in the morning, the first match of the semi-finals went on as scheduled. The number of viewers in today's live broadcast far exceeds that of all previous games, and the popularity has exceeded 15 million. However, the atmosphere in the barrage did not show the tension and excitement that a semi-final should have. Everyone was in a relaxed mood because they knew that the first game was just an appetizer and the second game between Wolong Academy and Beiming Primary School would be the highlight. This was indeed the case. Chu Yi continued his previous performance in the semi-finals, easily defeating all opponents with a score of 1-0 and 7-1, and entered the finals in an unrivaled manner. At the same time, he also created the best results since the establishment of Donghai No. 1 Primary School and was named the first person in the school's history. Back to the stage, Chu Yi took the milk tea from the principal and took a sip. This was ordered when I went on stage. After the game, I drank the milk tea and found it was still warm.
"There will be an interview later, do you want to participate?" At this moment, Zhou Zhiqiang's old face was smiling like a blooming daisy. Donghai No. 1 Primary School never made it to the finals at its peak. Now that he was about to retire, he got a guaranteed runner-up result. He couldn't help laughing. "Let Qin Zihao do the interview. I have to go to the next stadium to watch the game." Chu Yi drank the milk tea in one breath, and then once again refused the request for an interview. Under normal circumstances, he might have accepted the interview first and then gone to watch the game next door. But this time Lin Siyao took the initiative to invite him to watch the game, so of course he had to be there as soon as possible. What if she was arranged to take the lead, and she didn't see him after she got on stage and performed poorly, then wouldn't he be a sinner, hahahaha...... (End of this chapter)
