The celebration of Night City is coming as scheduled.
Although Song Ziyu didn't know the purpose of this grand event, he was still amazed by the grand occasion he saw in front of him.
This celebration of Night City is set against the backdrop of a hot summer day.
On a hot summer day, the sun is blazing, the sky is blue, and the clouds are white.
Set in such a season, it undoubtedly stirs up the emotions of everyone involved.
The earth seemed to be ignited by the flame of passion, and everything was full of vitality.
At this moment, the streets and alleys are bustling with people.
The cyberpunk city is full of festive atmosphere.
People wear all kinds of summer clothes, colorful, like a beautiful picture.
The children ran and played on the beach with bare feet, laughing and laughing.
Young people flock to swimming pools, beaches, or play in water parks to enjoy the cool summer time.
The venue for the opening ceremony was chosen to be in a park.
There are green trees and a cool breeze here.
Hundreds of senior company representatives attending the meeting were enjoying the shade under the shade of trees, waiting for the final ceremony.
On the outskirts of the park, countless goons from various companies participating in the "hands-on-hand" game were eagerly watching... with great amusement.
finally!
At a time when senior executives of major companies are impatiently waiting!
A eunuch dressed in fine clothes came out.
That's right!
The eunuch appeared in front of everyone wearing disgusting bloody makeup and white clothes that symbolized celebration.
"You all must know me."
The eunuch opened his mouth and said in a voice like a drake: "Now, I am here to announce the start of the five-year event on behalf of the city lord."
"The performance of the teams you select next will directly determine everyone's earnings in the next few years."
"Now without further ado, everyone must be impatient to wait, so let's start explaining the rules of this year's competition."
"Because there are many power groups participating in this competition, we adopt a seed company format."
"The competition will go through three stages: preliminaries, semi-finals and finals, and the final winner will be selected one by one."
"The top fifteen in the previous event will automatically join the seeded team."
…
Along with the old eunuch's voice, a huge three-dimensional projection screen suddenly appeared in the sky above Night City.
Along with the screen comes dozens of boxes grouped into large and small groups.
With the appearance of these boxes representing groups, the names of the fifteen teams were filled in one by one.
The names of these companies or groups are without exception very domineering: Shenwei Group Team, Batian Technology Team, Longteng Enterprise Team... Invincible Industrial Team, Huangquan Association Team, etc.
When the names of these companies occupied the spots in the seed team one by one, Song Ziyu looked at Ingram who was not far away: "Old man, didn't you say that your company ranks around ten? Why are you not in the seed team?"
Hear this!
Ingram's old face turned red instantly.
"This...let me explain."
Ingram said with a blushing face: "Actually, our company was still very strong in the first few sessions, but it's only recently that we started to stretch our legs."
"I understand, it's time for me to stretch my hips." Song Ziyu said with a smile.
"That's right!"
Ingram said: "This is why I have to spend a lot of money to get you out of prison. I hope you get value for money."
Song Ziyu stopped talking, and instead continued to look at the situation in the group.
…
Soon, the seeded teams were assigned, and the next step was to assign the unseeded teams.
Many people may not understand the meaning of this grouping.
In fact, non-seeded teams must encounter one or more strong teams, which undoubtedly increases the difficulty of qualifying.
But Song Ziyu is not worried, he will encounter trouble anyway, it doesn't matter if the trouble comes sooner or later, there is no difference.
Thinking of this, Song Ziyu continued to wait for the group with peace of mind.
At this time, Ingram said: "You don't have to worry too much. I have used my money ability. Our grouping will be relatively simple later."
"What does it mean to be relatively simple?"
Song Ziyu asked.
"Just wait and see what happens."
Ingram said enigmatically.
Soon, Song Ziyu realized what "money ability" is.
Starscream was assigned to a group.
The seed team in this group is the fifteenth-ranked Supreme Industrial Group.
The strength of this company is almost the same as that of Starscream, and it is the weakest among all the seed teams that can be chosen. .
Seeing this, Song Ziyu finally understood. This is the so-called money ability.
It seems that these guys are not bad.
A group of people around Starscream started cheering.
Obviously, everyone is very satisfied with this grouping.
At least it's quite satisfying... because the company Starscream no longer has the resources to find a worse seed opponent.
In other words, this is the best grouping. Whether it is satisfactory or not, the scope of operation under the rules probably only goes so far.
but……
A very tragic thing happened!
This group of people were happy for a long time, but when the third and fourth opponents were assigned to the group, everyone stopped laughing immediately.
Song Ziyu looked at the group he was in, and then asked Ingram with a confused look on his face: "What level of companies are this KK Park and Wolong Villa? The names seem very abstract!"
"Abstract? More than abstract!"
Ingram said angrily: "This KK Park and Wolong Villa are both subsidiaries controlled by the Huangquan Association. Damn it, we've been screwed!"
Song Ziyu asked curiously: "How do you say this?"
Ingram explained: "We and the Huangquan Association are sworn enemies. Many of our businesses overlap, so we are targeted... In the past many years, we suppressed the Huangquan Association, but now they have climbed on top of us. Come on, you know how disgusting we are!"
"Although we gave the organizing committee money and let them secretly manipulate us into this group, it is obvious that they also received money from the Huangquan Association and arranged for two very hostile companies to target us."
"The situation is a bit troublesome now."
Ingram smiled bitterly.
"What businesses do you have that overlap?"
Song Ziyu asked: "Do they also open prisons?"
"no!"
Ingram explained: "Opening a prison is just a small way. Even if you blow up all the prisoners into bone oil, you won't make much money."
"Then what is your main business?"
Song Ziyu asked curiously.
"Our main business is medical beauty."
Ingram said more tactfully.
"How do you understand? What is medical beauty?"
Song Ziyu asked.
"It's Ga Yaozi."
