You don't make cards according to the routine at all, do you?

Chapter 182 The Opening Ceremony of the World Cup (Please Subscribe!)
In star calendar 343, the first Grammy Card Maker Competition was held here.

In the 399th year of the star calendar, the world's first star card exhibition was held here.

In star calendar 404, the venue was closed.

In star date 405, the venue reopened and the number of seats increased from 57000 to 76000.

In the same year, 80185 spectators, including the former president of the Great Yang Kingdom, witnessed the final of the Silver Star Cup Women's Card Maker Contest—some of them stood and watched.

In 451, the venue was expanded again, with seats increased to 120000.

In 482, the first battle of the Venus Cup instant card making duel tournament started here.

In 520, this place became one of the venues for the battle events of the Dayang Country Star Olympic Games.

In 543, today, the long-awaited Star Card Master World Cup will also kick off here.

"120,000 card fans at the scene, billions of viewers in front of the TV, welcome to the opening ceremony of the World Cup in the Great Yang Kingdom!"

"This is the Rose Bowl, a legendary arena with a history of 200 years!"

"Time has not dulled its splendor, and time has not covered up its glory. Today—on this timeless venue that has hosted dozens of global events, we will face a new challenge! I am the host , Chris Parker."

Yep, it's him again.

After hosting the Grammys, Chris came to the World Cup.

The blond man held a small card with a smile on his face, and recited the opening speech emotionally with the theme of "star card is a universal language", and then began to introduce the distinguished guests from various countries who were present this time.

In addition to more than a dozen representatives from the International Star Card Masters Federation, Director Jia, the hand of the empire, and Mr. Park and others also sat at the guest table.

But this time they are not rated.

Avril Lavigne should have come too.

But because of what happened at the Grammy competition more than half a month ago, the officials of the Big Yang Kingdom temporarily removed Avril from the guest list.

So as not to have a bad impact on the World Cup.

If Avril won the first place that day, then today she will not only be a guest, but also host the opening ceremony together with Chris as the card maker ambassador of the Great Yang Kingdom.

Sing a song by the way, being popular all over the world is not a dream.

It's a pity that Avril Lavigne didn't get it.

Chris can host as she pleases, and Avril Lavigne can stay where she is cool.

Reality is what it is.

The person who replaced Avril was another big star card master from the Big Yang Kingdom.

Debbie Alison.

Not as famous as Avril Lavigne, but she also sings very well.

After Chris' passionate opening, Debbie made her debut and sang "One Ball One Dream" together with Madek, a popular male singer in the Great Yang Kingdom.

One planet, one dream.

Amidst the warm applause of 120,000 spectators, the World Cup officially kicked off.

The performance of the entertainment program lasted half an hour.

Then came the highlight of the opening ceremony.

"A total of 28 teams from 64 different countries participated in this World Cup. They will be divided into 8 groups by lottery on-site for the first round of the group stage... Now, we invite them to play first, and please To the 120,000 audience friends present, send your applause to them, to these talented star card masters from various countries!"

Chris held up the microphone and said loudly: "The first one to appear is the Dayang Kingdom delegation. You can see that their faces are very young. The average age is only 22 years old, but they are already world-class sixth-level star card masters. In the preliminary round , They fought bloody battles, and let people see their courage and strength. I believe that in the next official match, their performance will be even more dazzling than before."

Not counting those who carried the flag at the front, there were a total of 60 members of the Dayang Kingdom delegation, three teams.

They lined up neatly in three rows and walked towards the field.

Among them are many familiar faces.

Mordwood who is proficient in the Holy Light system.

Like Charles who makes cards with his eyes closed.

Louis, who must have played out of order for the first time in card making.

There is also Leianna who is too scared to admire Master Gu's strength.

All four are in the same team.

It made the audience who didn't know the configuration of the various teams of the Great Yang Kingdom exclaim in surprise.

Audience A had a look of disbelief: "If I remember correctly, they are all in the top ten of this year's Grammy competition, right?"

Audience B sighed: "A team of four top card makers, this lineup is too luxurious."

Audience C was slightly excited: "I bet, their team can at least enter the top four!"

Audience D is a Chinese: "What if I don't get in? Do you eat lighters?"

Spectator C snorted: "Impossible, have you watched the battle card master competition? The battle card masters walking in front of Modwood are all frequent visitors of various competitions, with two gold medals per person."

The card maker is top-notch, and the card battler is also top-notch.

With two peaks gathering at the top, can't they even make it to the top four?
What an international joke.

"That's not sure." Audience D said, "What if we are unlucky and meet our Master Gu in advance?"

Audience C: "..."

What can I do?
Cold scrambled eggs.

The ten red star cards produced by Master Gu at the Grammy Contest are even higher than the regular cards.

The effect is unknown.

Master Gu made it clear that he would use these red star cards to play in the World Cup.

To put it bluntly, whoever runs into Master Gu's team first will be unlucky.

Not to say that you will definitely lose, at least it will not be so easy to win.

The cutscene continued.

The second one to appear is the delegation from the Shia Kingdom.

Also three teams.

One of the card creators won No.10 in the Grammy competition, which also made the audience discuss for a while.

After all, the Grammy competition has not been over for long, and many viewers still have a clear impression of the contestants who have achieved good rankings.

The third one to appear is the Subayli delegation.

Also three teams.

Everyone is tall and big, and even the female players are burly, and they can fight very well at first glance.

The fourth one to appear is the island delegation.

They only have two teams.

Originally, the Star Card Association was still unwilling to win the three places in the official competition for this World Cup, but since everyone used the equipment card...

Star Card Club: "That's all right."

They are ready for the tail end of the crane.

Whether it is three teams lifting the tail together or two teams lifting the tail together, it does not make much difference to the island country.

Otherwise, why would the officials of the Big Yang Kingdom think that the Star Card Association of the Island Country should take care of Gu Ci?
The equipment card is the leader of Gu Cidai.

But in fact, the Star Card Club of the island country is very pleasing to Gu Ci now.

The beautiful girl card maker Saito Asuka who was chosen by the gods was given to Gu Ci.

After all, the game is just a game, how can it be important to improve the national strength?
Besides, the World Cup is not the only one.

This session is gone and there will be a next one.

Although Gu Ci promised to sell them a one-time equipment card, the Star Card Club did not intend to use it in this competition.

I can't use it even if I want to.

The cards on the participating card masters have been finalized, and there are no extra grids.

Unless they find a new batch of Tier [-] War Card Masters who haven't got cards yet to play the game.

This is obviously unrealistic.

So be it.

No matter what number you can get, you'll be done.

Many viewers who are more familiar with the star card masters of the island country are not optimistic about the island country.

Thinking about it carefully, they seem to have never been optimistic about the island country...

The star cards in the players of the island country cannot be changed, which means that they can only use that set of cards from beginning to end.

It also means that they will be targeted by other teams from the beginning to the end.

Having played so many World Cups, the best ranking of the island country team seems to be eighth.

Most of the time, they were eliminated in the group stage.

It cannot be said that the star card masters in the island country are not strong.

It's true that they can't change cards, but they don't have to draw cards either.

Looks like it's just a small move that saves a second and a half or so.

But in actual combat, this half a second can often bring them a huge advantage.

The higher the level, the greater the advantage.

Especially after arriving at the big star card master.

A master's move, not to mention half a second, even if you blink your eyes more, you may GG on the spot.

So the star card masters in the island country are actually quite fierce.

They are just not good at playing the World Cup, which can change cards.

And there is one thing to say, although there is nothing to look forward to in the battle card masters of the island country, but their card creators are really eye-catching!
All girls.

He is still wearing the most representative JK uniform of the island country.

There was a howling like a beast in the auditorium.

"It can't be done, the girl's heart of the old man will be sprouted by them."

"Are you sure it's a girl's heart and not a sprite's heart?"

"Am I the only one worried about them being cold? It's only 1 degree today. They shouldn't be wearing short skirts."

"God told me to advise you not to meddle in your own business."

"Oh god! I love the blunt bangs girl in the middle! She's so cute!"

"You mean Saito Asuka? That's Master Gu's disciple, can't it be cute?"

"What? Master Gu accepted her as an apprentice? When did it happen?"

"About half a month ago, your home didn't have internet connection?"

"I understand the truth, but why hasn't Master Gu come out yet? His disciples have all appeared."

When talking about card makers, one has to talk about the recently concluded Grammy competition.

When it comes to the Grammy contest, it is inevitable to mention Gu Ci.

Master Gu is too aggressive.

Ten red star cards in 5 minutes, this picture is engraved in the minds of countless people, and they can't forget it even if they want to.

They chatted with Master Gu for a long time, but they haven't seen anyone until now.

until half an hour later.

"Walking towards us is the delegation of the great eastern powers."

Chris introduced: "They are the youngest team among all the participating teams in this World Cup, even younger than the team from the Big Sheep Country. Even, many of them are college students who haven't graduated yet. I want to thank them—— —Thank you for coming to the Rose Bowl Star Arena, let me know that our star card civilization is booming, and our younger generation will become more and more outstanding. I believe that their next performance will not let us down. "

At this moment, there are already more than 30 teams standing on the field.

Every team has a voice when they come out.

But apart from when the Big Yang Country delegation first appeared on the stage, no other team had such a high voice.

The sound boiled in the air, like boiling water, and three words were written in large bold font on the human ear——

Master Gu.

It really fits the theme of Chris's opening speech.

Star cards are the universal language of the world.

As long as the cards you make are amazing enough, the whole world will be your fans.

On the home court of the Big Yang Kingdom, there are actually people whose voices can be as loud as those of the Big Yang Kingdom's own team.

Saito Asuka watched Gu Ci walking from the sidelines, admiring and proud in his heart.

The teacher is awesome!

Gu Ci actually thinks this is not good.

The World Cup is the stage for other card masters, but in the end they are calling him the name of the card master...

Isn't this preposterous?

Really, don't shout like that next time.

Be louder.

Everyone has vanity, and Gu Ci is also a human being, so naturally he is no exception.

He generously admitted that the feeling of cross-border law enforcement is really cool.

"Hello." Gu Ci poked Jiang Qianye who was walking in front of him, "I'm on top of you."

Previously, Jiang Qianye's increasing operations kept the topic of Kaitou GX at a high level, occupying the number one hot search for several days in a row.

Now that the World Cup has begun, all irrelevant topics must make way for it.

Master Gu, who has caught a wave of enthusiasm, reckons that he will be able to put Jiang Qianye under him tonight.

"Leave it to you." Jiang Qianye also said to Gu Ci in the same way, "Also, I don't call you hello, my name is Jiang Qianye."

The girl didn't look back when she spoke.

I'm still going through the motions, so I need to concentrate on the surface.

Gu Ci: "Okay, Miss Jiang."

Jiang Qianye: "Miss Jiang doesn't sound good, Master Gu will call me Qianye from now on."

Gu Ci: "Okay, Miss Chiba."

A group of people walked into the field.

Asuka Saito winked playfully at Gu Ci when he passed by the island delegation.

Gu Ci also winked at the girl.

Kato Miko watched all this silently.

You have to interact with each other in this little time, you tell me you are just masters and apprentices?

In contrast, Kato Miko would rather believe that her uncle can't make cards than believe this.

Slowly, 64 teams played.

The referee team entered the arena holding a large box.

"Please send a representative from each team to draw lots." Chris said, and announced the lottery rules.

There are 8 groups in the first round, with 8 teams in each group.

If a team from the same country is drawn to the same group, they will be swapped with teams of the same number in other groups, starting from Group A.

For example D-3 for A-3,.

If the team receiving A-3 is from the same country as a team in Group D, A-3 will remain the same, and D-3 will be replaced by B-3.

If the teams with the same number in the seven groups cannot be changed, the number will be extended downwards.

Still change from Group A, D-3 to A-4, B-4, C-4...

Until each group has 8 teams from different countries.

The first round of the group stage adopts a points system, and each team has to play a game against other teams.

Winner gets 1 point, loser gets no points.

The two teams with the most points at the end advance to the next round.

If the points are the same, the points will be discarded.

Adding up to 7 games, the team with fewer eliminations advances.

If the points are the same, then the two teams will have an additional match, and the winner will advance.

The rules are simple and crude.

cruel too
There are a total of 64 teams, and 48 will be eliminated in the first round.

Gu Ci asked Lei Meng, "Are you going to smoke or should I smoke?"

Lei Meng didn't even think about it: "You are older, you go."

Gu Ci was surprised: "How do you know that?"

Lei Meng remained expressionless: "I mean fame."

With Master Gu's current fame, he is properly the spokesperson of the team in the hearts of people all over the world.

If he went up to draw lots, maybe Master Gu's fans would come down from the auditorium on the spot and rush him away.

Asuka Saito and Miko Kato were drawn for the island team.

Regardless of the good relationship between the two, the hotel also lives in the same room, and sometimes even sleeps in the same bed.

But the two of them are not in charge of the same team.

Saito Asuka couldn't help but feel tense when he saw that Gu Ci also came out.

Don't be drawn to be in the same group as the teacher...
