Chapter 12 Cruel preliminaries

The next day, Lin He swaggered out of Room 2108, and inside the room, the man in the suit had already been tied up and tied to a chair.

Against this relatively weak, unarmed power-type opponent, Lin He still managed to capture it.

The next thing he has to think about is the game.

According to the schedule, the first game today is the preliminaries.

Lin He still doesn't know what format the preliminaries will take. He only heard that because of the large number of participants and robots, a special competition system will be adopted.

The distance between the Central Hotel and the man-machine battle venue is still relatively close, so Lin He quickly arrived at his destination.

After he exchanged a number plate with the competition card he obtained, he entered through the channel of the human contestants.

"No. 554, such a large number, I don't know how to arrange it?"

Lin He looked at the number plate in his hand and muttered.

"This number plate is arranged in the order of registration. Of course, the top four players in this ranking are the four seeded players."

A man's voice came from Lin He's side. Lin He turned his head and saw a blond young man with a naked upper body and bandages standing beside him.

He is about eighteen years old, very young, but judging from the scars on his upper body muscles, he should not be a simple person.

Reaching out his hand not to hit the smiling person, Lin He also responded kindly, "My friend knows a lot. My name is Lin He, may I ask who you are?"

The young man touched his head shyly and said, "I'm Carol, and I'm just an ordinary contestant. But I signed up before you, and I'm No. 73."

"Carol, how much do you know about man-machine warfare?" Lin He saw that Carroll was not a bad person, and was willing to communicate with him. "It's my first time participating in the competition, and I don't know many things."

Carroll nodded and replied, "Well, I participated in the man-machine war last time, so I have some understanding."

"Then Carol, who are the four seeds you mentioned just now?"

"They are the ones printed on the poster, two genius doctors and two supernovas in the martial arts world."

Lin He continued to ask thoughtfully: "What ranking did you get last time?"

"Last time I only entered the top [-], and I failed to go further." Speaking of which, Carroll was still a little embarrassed.

Lin He, who is very observant, immediately noticed the change in his mood.

"It's okay, I believe you will definitely go further this time and surpass yourself." He made a fist at Carol.

Carol touched her head again embarrassedly: "Thank you, Lin He."

The two chatted while walking, and quickly walked through the player passage and came to the lounge.

At this time, many players have come to the lounge.

These people are all tall and mighty, and people who are slightly shorter like Lin He are basically invisible.

"Oh, isn't that our dear Carol?"

Before Carol and Lin He could find a place to sit down, a muscular man with pigtails came to the door.

"All Kings!" When Carol saw this man, he became restless, and even his face turned red.

"No. 129." Lin He glanced at the big guy who was two heads taller than himself, thinking that the two of them should have something to celebrate.

"Carol, I didn't expect you to have the guts to come, do you think the last time you lost was not bad enough?" King Quan's tone was full of disdain, "For someone of your level, you can catch them at this venue. A lot."

Carol clenched her fists and said, "Whether or not to participate is my own business, you don't have to worry about it!"

"Yes!" Lin He encouraged Carol at the right time.

"Yo, I also brought a friend to help!" King Quan noticed Lin He next to Carol for the first time, and then shouted in surprise: "I laughed so hard, you dare to come with your little arms and legs. It was hilarious to be in the competition!"

After speaking, he really covered his stomach and laughed, which attracted the attention of many people.

Lin He touched his nose and said, "Is it really that funny, where's the point of laughter..."

Carol pulled Lin He aside and said, "Don't worry about him, this Quan Wang has always been so arrogant. I was defeated by him in the last man-machine battle. But you don't have to be afraid, Lin He, we are not here to participate in the competition. In order to win the award, it is to improve myself step by step, so as long as I do my best, I think it will be fine."

In his mind, whether it is himself or Lin He, they are just here to make soy sauce.

Lin He took the bowl of chicken soup, but still asked curiously, "Then who was this King Quan last time?"

Carroll's eyes flashed a bit of solemnity, and he whispered under pressure: "Runner-up!"

"Aha, it seems that the strength is good!" Lin He raised his eyebrows.

"But this time he will definitely not get the runner-up, because this time there are five times as many people participating in the competition as last time, and there are also super-strength seed players, so he probably only has the strength of the top ten or so." Carroll seems to be He didn't want to make Lin He lose his confidence and continued to add, but Lin He still read a little lack of confidence in his tone.

After the two exchanged some more players, a staff member came to urge them to enter.

Next came some tedious ceremonies, which were similar to those on Earth before, undoubtedly introducing sponsors and guests, but beyond Lin He's expectations, one person actually came to the scene.

"Now, we welcome with warm applause, the top master in the martial arts world, Mr. Banggu!"

Immediately afterwards, an old man in a black top and white pants appeared in the guest seat.

If Lin He remembers correctly, Bang Gu should be eighty-one years old in the One Punch Man drama.And now, after all, is the One Punch Man time and space [-] years ago, so he is much younger.

The [-]-year-old Bang Gu, Lin He is also difficult to determine whether he is weaker or stronger than the original, because martial arts is a thing that takes physical strength and experience.

Physical strength requires younger age, and experience requires older age, which is a contradiction that is difficult to reconcile.
