Under the focus of the camera, the players continued to enter the venue. Card makers of different ages walked quickly or slowly, and under the guidance of the staff, they walked to the designated card-making table.
In the VIP room, Liu Haomin deliberately guided everyone, making the chat atmosphere very good.
Mr. Liu was good at observing words and expressions, and he immediately saw what Geng's father was thinking.
So he smiled and joked intentionally or unintentionally: "Uncle Geng, judging from your expression, it seems that you are not very interested in the subsequent contestants?"
Father Geng smiled and shook his head, sighing: "The creative competition has really gotten worse in the past two years. Have most people gone to participate in other card-making competitions?"
The pinnacle of the creative competition seems to be fixed in the year when the storage card came out.
The field of that Creative Card Making Competition was star-studded, and there were even two fifth-level card makers participating.
However, in the following sessions, the quality of contestants in the creative competition became worse year by year.
Just like today's regional selection competition.
The players who appeared after Lu Li and Chen San were basically not good enough. Most of them were first-level card makers, only a few were second-level card makers, and there were no third-level card makers at all.
For contestants of this level, Geng's father really has no hope for their works.
"It seems that the outcome of this game is very clear." Mr. Liu took out a complete set of tea sets from the storage card and brewed three cups of fragrant tea in an instant.
He took one of the cups to Geng's father and said, "The champion should be between Lu Li and Chen San."
After doing this, he turned to look at the little fat man next to him and said with a smile: "Master Geng, if you like to drink tea, please feel free to do so."
"Thank you." Geng Xiaowen looked worried and was not in the mood to drink tea, so he simply said thank you.
Geng's father took the tea with a smile and nodded in agreement with Liu Haomin's statement.
"Uncle Geng, let's do this. It's quite boring for us to just watch the game. How about we try some luck?" Liu Haomin suddenly suggested after taking a sip of tea.
"Oh?" Geng's father's eyes lit up, "What kind of bonus?"
Liu Haomin was also very happy to see that the other party was interested.
He came here this time because he wanted to have a good relationship with Geng's father.
According to his investigation, Geng's father was actually a bit fond of gambling, and the eldest son Liu did this to suit his interests.
"Since Uncle Geng is optimistic about Lu Li and Chen San, why don't we choose one each?" Liu Haomin suggested, "No matter what kind of star card they produce, we can only reach business cooperation with the selected person."
Both of them are busy bosses. They come to the competition just to see what potential works there are and then sign commercial contracts with the creators.
"Hahaha, you kid is really..." Geng's father glanced at the high-spirited Lu Li on the screen and said, "You are a junior, I'll let you go. I'll see if you are the first one to name Chen." Three’s name, then I’ll choose Lu Li.”
"Thank you very much." Seeing this, Liu Haomin immediately picked up the cup and offered tea instead of wine to his father Geng.
Chen San, a contestant, has been racing in the creative competition for many years, and his skills are as good as those of Mr. Liu.
Although this third-level card maker does have some strength, this is just a regional selection competition after all, and he will not show his special skills at all.
——Chen San is still thinking of relying on a secret weapon to win three consecutive federal championships. It is impossible to come up with it in advance.
Of course Geng's father also knew all the information Xing Shang had.
And he chose to guess Lu Li simply because he hoped that the young card maker could bring him a little surprise.
If Lu Li could make a product like a sound card, then the prize would be a real gain.
"A gentleman's words." Geng's father raised his palms with a smile.
"It's hard to chase a horse." Liu Haomin was very happy to see the other party, and he also happily raised his hands to give high fives.
...
Commentary seat.
"A total of 68 players have all entered the venue. Let us wait for each player to debug the tools. The game will officially start in 15 minutes."
The commentator Xiaobai was very dedicated and introduced all the players' information in one go.
Compared to other competitions, there are not many card makers participating in the creative competition.
There were only sixty-eight players actually present today.
Many people sign up just to show off their participation certificates and cards on social media, and then stop coming to the competition.
However, reporting all the information of 68 players would take more than an hour and a half, which is tiring enough.
The screen in the live broadcast room changed and began to play aerial footage of the stadium. The players were carefully checking the tools and materials on the desktop.
Taking this opportunity, Bai Shisong turned off the microphone, unscrewed the bottle cap, took a large gulp of water and held it in his mouth.
After moistening his throat that was about to smoke, Xiaobai took out a small basin from the storage card and spit out all the water in his mouth.
The card making competition basically lasts about two hours.
During this period, Bai Shisong, as the only commentator in the audience, had to work continuously. He did not want to run to the toilet because he drank too much water.
Fifteen minutes later.
Xiaobai, who had recovered a little, immediately started explaining: "Dear viewers, welcome back to the live broadcast room, the creative horse racing begins soon."
As soon as he finished speaking, the countdown immediately sounded on the stadium broadcast.
"three!"
"two!"
"one!"
"start!"
At this moment, all 68 contestants made different choices based on their personal card-making habits.
There is also a countdown in the upper right corner of the live broadcast room.
1:59.
The aerial camera passed from the sky, passing each player at just the right speed.
Such a spectacular scene made Xiaobai, who was commentating on the Star Card Competition for the first time, feel very excited.
"The game begins!" he announced loudly.
The screen gradually slowed down, and the director began to randomly select players and give them close-ups.
Xiaobai's tone also became calmer: "The creative competition lasts for two hours. Players need to create star cards or star card groups for the competition within the specified time. The player with the highest score wins."
"Now the camera is focused on contestant No. 66 - Chen Liu. He has been taking the card maker assessment since he was 18 years old. It was not until this year that he passed the assessment after he turned 28 and officially became a card maker. He is a very determined player."
Bai Shisong has a good memory and knows all the information about the players.
"The number drawn by player Chen Liu today is very auspicious. I wonder if this luck will be brought to the competition?"
On the screen, Chen Liu didn't make any preparations. He just grabbed the carving knife and started drawing on the card.
Not long after, his men made a mistake, and the star paths crossed each other, causing the card material to be scrapped.
"It's a bad start..."
Bai Shisong sighed and shook his head slightly.
The quality of this creative competition is really worrying, no wonder no one is watching it.
