Chapter 148 Grand Opening Ceremony

Traveling thousands of miles away.

After more than ten hours of train journey, Zhao Xing finally arrived in Jingzhou.

“As expected of a big city, it’s so prosperous.”

"After watching the game this time, I can go to the tourist attractions in Jingzhou when I have time. I heard that there are many good scenic spots."

"But now I have to go to the hotel to stay, and then I can watch the game tomorrow!"

Carrying the simple luggage he carried with him, Zhao Xing walked out of the train station and prepared to take a taxi.

There were more than a dozen taxis parked outside the station.

Zhao Xing walked directly outside the station without even looking.

In his impression, taxis in places such as stations and airports have always been the most expensive. The drivers are shady. It is normal to take detours, not use the meter, and increase fares. A trip may cost more than ten yuan. If he admits it again, If the passenger is an out-of-towner, he will be punished even more severely, and he is not afraid at all.

He was very lucky to get tickets for the Jingzhou Cup this time. He came from other provinces just to watch the game, but the province should spend its money and there is no need to waste money.

Outside the station, Zhao Xing stopped a taxi.

The driver was very enthusiastic. He opened the door for him, put his luggage, and reminded him to fasten his seat belt when he got in the car. Zhao Xing had never seen such treatment in his more than 20 years of life.

"Master, go to Sunshine Star Hotel."

As soon as the address was given, the driver said: "Young man, are you coming to watch the game from out of town?"

Zhao Xing was stunned and confused.

"How do you know?"

The driver immediately smiled and said: "In recent days, many tourists from out of town have come to Jingzhou to watch the game. Most of them are young people like you in their twenties. In addition, not far from the Sunshine Star is the Central Stadium. So I tried to guess."

"So that's it!" Zhao Xing said: "I did come from out of town to watch the Jingzhou Cup. I just came out of the train station."

The driver glanced at him: "I just got off the train, why did I go outside to take a taxi?"

Zhao Xing touched his nose and did not dare to speak.

After all, they are all taxi drivers, and he is afraid of getting into trouble.

The driver glanced at him through the rearview mirror and reacted immediately, so he continued driving without looking back: "Don't worry, no one in Jingzhou dares to increase taxi fares arbitrarily now. It's the same wherever you sit!"

"The higher-ups have issued orders to strictly enforce the law recently. If one is caught, he will be fined and his license revoked!"

Zhao Xing said in surprise: "Is it so serious?"

"No matter whether it is serious or not, they are actually requirements that should be met." The driver said: "It's just that some people have corrupted the industry rules and ruined the reputation of taxis for money. It would be nice to have such an order. At least it can eliminate many unhealthy tendencies.”

"That's true." Zhao Xing said, "I'm also afraid of taking taxis. It's really too much to pay dozens of yuan for a journey."

"Don't worry if you're in Jingzhou." The driver said: "I heard that it seems that because of this Jingzhou Cup e-sports competition that you went to watch, the whole city is cracking down. How many people dare to stand up in the spotlight? Impossible!"

"But I am very curious, what is this Jingzhou Cup e-sports competition? There is a kid next door to my house who heard that he is playing this thing, and he has joined an e-sports club, and the salary is very high!"

"What kind of profession is it? Can I do it?"

The driver was very interested. When he talked about this matter, he felt as if his paw had been scratched by a cat. It was extremely itchy.

"The children of the old Lu family are now studying and playing games at the same time, earning tens of thousands of dollars every month. I heard that they specialize in playing games. I can do this job too!"

"And the bosses attach so much importance to it, it will definitely be a good career with a bright future in the future!"

"Brother, look at my eldest brother, does he have any talent in this area?"

The driver became interested.

Zhao Xing couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this: "Brother, this is a professional e-sports competition, just like the Olympics. Ordinary people just have fun, and only the best people can get on the field! And professional e-sports players, just like swimming, are too old. No need at all, the skills, brainpower, and operation are not good, the club only accepts teenagers like that."

"You are at least forty, right?"

"That's it. It seems like I have no chance." The driver sighed regretfully after hearing this: "Actually, I'm only about thirty years old, but I look a bit old. At our age, we can't do anything anymore. I can live my life driving a car.”

"Hey~"

The two chatted all the way through the city and finally arrived downstairs at the hotel.

After paying the fare, Zhao Xing walked to the hotel.

There were actually several girls wearing cute Teemo cuckolds taking pictures at the entrance of the hotel.

"Wow, beautiful female gamer!"

"I heard that tens of thousands of tickets for the Jingzhou Cup were sold out within an hour of going online. It really attracted a lot of people to watch the game!"

Sunshine Star is a pretty good hotel, not far from the stadium, just over 20 minutes' walk away.

He actually wanted to come to Jingzhou to watch the game at the Internet Cafe, but he couldn't make the trip because of work. Later, when he heard about the Jingzhou Cup, he immediately made up his mind and booked this hotel early, without even thinking about tickets or anything like that. Even if I didn't have a ticket, I still wanted to see it, but I didn't expect to get one.

Originally, he was worried that the room rate would rise if he had already booked the room. Many tourist cities often use this temporary price increase routine, which means they will not let you check in at a low price and will try every means to get you to check out and then return. Sell ​​the room at a high price.

But Jingzhou is different. As the taxi driver said, the front desk took the ID and checked in without any nonsense. It was extremely smooth.

Moreover, the hotel also specially caters to players. There are even several custom-made hero statues in the lobby, and some guests are taking selfies in front of the statues.

The room is also very clean and tidy. Through the window, you can directly see the huge central stadium in the distance, which is very spectacular.

“I’m really looking forward to tomorrow’s game!”

The next day.

17:00.

By the time Zhao Xing walked to the entrance of the stadium, the ticket exchange point at the entrance was already filled with people.

Dozens of one-person-high statues of heroes from the game are arranged in the square in front of the door. There are also models wearing COS costumes performing in the square for players to take photos. There are large player posters hanging everywhere, and there are staff wearing store owner costumes at the door. They put up a stage and distributed mineral water, small dolls, keychains, flyers and other small things. The atmosphere of the competition was extremely strong.

Zhao Xing quickly exchanged the tickets and looked at them carefully.

The ticket is printed with the hero pattern and entry rules, and underneath is a silver coating. When you scratch it off, you will get a string of redemption codes, which players can use to draw skins on the client.

Collect your tickets.

Zhao Xing walked into the venue.

His position is not too far from the stage, and he can be seen very clearly on the big screen.

After sitting down, Zhao Xing looked forward to whether the person sitting next to him was a boy or a girl. If it was a beautiful female player, maybe a beautiful encounter would happen.

Unfortunately, the person who finally came to him was a middle-aged man.

Zhao Xing instantly lost his desire to talk and stared at the stage intently, looking forward to tonight's opening ceremony.

It didn't take long.

7pm.

The sunset in the sky dissipated, and the lights turned on in the entire venue.

The exciting music sounded, and along with the music, Tian Weiwei, dressed in a red dress, took the lead in taking the stage.

As soon as she appeared on the stage, the whole audience burst into cheers!

After presiding over two games, Tian Weiwei has become the hosting goddess in the hearts of many players with her increasingly professional work ability, tall figure, and sweet appearance.

"Dear viewers from all over the country! Good evening, everyone!"

"This Jingzhou Cup has finally reached the final semi-finals. The four teams that will appear tonight can't wait. Let's look forward to who will win the championship in the end!"

Then the big screen lit up.

Players from the four teams showed their faces respectively, each made bold remarks and started talking trash before the game.

However, this was the first time for these players to experience it. The trash talk they played was not trash and had no offensive power. Even so, the audience still cheered enthusiastically.

After a few minutes of pre-game trash talk video ended, players from the four teams appeared one by one.

Amid the sound of music, twenty teenagers walked to the front of the stage to greet the audience of tens of thousands of people.

Their bodies were all stiff, their movements were a little deformed, and their palms were sweating. It was difficult for them to get through the player introduction session.

Wait for the contestants to leave the stage.

The stage lights suddenly went out.

In the darkness, a few points of light lit up, and then more and more, and finally the light converged into the image of the ancient dragon that players are most familiar with, leaping into the sky, soaring into the night sky, accompanied by the roar of the dragon that resounded throughout the audience, a line of light appeared. The ancient dragon composed of drones makes a shocking appearance.

The giant dragon circled the arena and performed various performances that stunned the audience!

Zhao Xing looked up at the sky and couldn't help but exclaimed: "So beautiful!"

The middle-aged man next to him also had his eyes widened with disbelief on his face!

"What a great gesture!"

As the two people marveled, the giant dragon floated in the air, and finally the lights reorganized into two big characters - Jingzhou!

It was accompanied by brilliant fireworks that filled the night sky.

Fireworks one after another fill the entire night sky, creating an extremely beautiful and spectacular scene.

Wait until the fireworks dissipate.

Jay Chou stepped onto the stage, microphone in hand, and sang "Battle".

The moment his figure appeared on the big screen, the whole stadium instantly burst into cheers and shouts. The sound could not stop for a second. The shouts continued as long as Jay Chou sang. The enthusiasm of the audience was simply overwhelming. Break through the sky!

On one side of the stage, in the largest box.

Mo Yu personally accompanied him, and beside him were officials from Jingzhou, such as Zhang Hongwen, Yan Kaixian, etc., and many celebrities from all walks of life in Jingzhou stood behind.

"Xiao Mo, you spent a lot of money on this opening ceremony. In comparison, the title we gave seems a bit stingy." In the C position in the middle of the crowd, a man wearing a simple Chinese tunic suit smiled and said: "This competition , I think Jingzhou will benefit, you contribute!"

Mo Yu behaved extremely politely and modestly, with a gentle smile on his face and shook his head repeatedly.

"What are you talking about? I was born in Jingzhou and the governor lives in Jingzhou, so what does it mean if I can contribute something to Jingzhou? What you said really upset me!"

The C man laughed and said, "That's right. Jingzhou is the Jingzhou of all of us. If you can help the development of Jingzhou, you are contributing to Jingzhou. There is no need to distinguish between you and me."

"However, the competition you held this time brought a large number of tourists to Jingzhou and received a lot of attention on the Internet. I would like to praise you in this regard!"

"I heard from Lao Yan that you are only twenty-six?"

"Sure enough, a hero comes from a boy!"
