An ancient saying goes, "Listen to their words and observe their actions," meaning that you cannot judge a person just by what they say but also by what they do. Combining both allows for a comprehensive assessment of a person's caliber.
In Xiao Feng's view, the little girl's recent actions have demonstrated intelligence and emotional intelligence far beyond the average person.
What seemed like child's play on the surface for the little girl actually subtly tied everyone's honor together.
The benefit of doing so is that even if the lottery draw results are unfavorable to their team, no one can complain.
Because to deny the little girl is also to deny oneself.
Of course, given the little girl's innocent personality, she certainly didn't have these ulterior motives. Her actions were primarily to avoid losing face.
"It's a sure win this time!" Someone clenched their fist as they watched the little girl place her hand on the button, appearing quite tense.
Others felt the same way, full of hope yet nervously clenching their fists in their hearts.
Even though they had just defeated the powerful Xinwen Team, Wei Shuai and the others did not swell with pride or dismiss their opponents.
Everyone knew the victory in the previous match was largely due to luck and Xiao Feng's bold tactics, which were decisive but not reproducible.
Simply put, a person may find money occasionally, but not every day. Even the best luck has limits, and matches can't rely solely on luck.
At this moment, under all the expectant and tense gazes, the red light spun rapidly like a spinning lantern and finally stopped at position seven.
"We did it!"
Wei Shuai and the others immediately cheered, each showing a sense of relief.
The Guangyang Team was equally excited, with the leader beside Qi Long blushing and punching his palm, "I told you, it's fine no matter who presses the button after switching out the fat guy."
However, the opposing team drawn as Jiangcheng Team's opponent, number seven, looked as if they had been drenched by the frost; the entire team's faces were exceptionally gloomy, as if suffering collective constipation or acclimatization issues.
The captain of Team Seven was a somewhat curly-haired man, appearing to be around forty years old, named Hu Guangsheng.
Just as his face turned unpleasant, a man around the same age approached him with an undisguised smile, clearly schadenfreude, "Old Hu, your luck isn't great, huh?"
"Xie Mingjin, get out of my face. You still owe me a bottle of wine, and I haven't forgotten it." Hu Guangsheng said, restraining his anger.
Seeing him angry, Xie Mingjin laughed even more joyfully, "It's rare to see you with a face like that, old Hu. How can I miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?
If I could see this face of yours every day, I'd be willing to buy you drinks daily, not just once!"
"Can you stop being so annoying? Be a decent person!" Hu Guangsheng nearly lost it, feeling as if he'd just been stabbed, with blood pouring from the wound, uncontrollable.
Instead of receiving comfort, he got another stab. Is there anything more irritating?
In fact, the relationship between Xie Mingjin and Hu Guangsheng was not bad at all; instead, they were very close. Hu Guangsheng even once took a bullet for Xie Mingjin during a joint operation.
This kind of life-and-death friendship is stronger than any kind of buddyhood. So seeing his old buddy down, Xie Mingjin immediately came over to rub it in, fearing he might miss the chance.
At this moment, the lady at the commentary booth said, "The Jiangcheng Team drew number seven. Now, who will the Guangyang Team face?
Alright, the answer is revealed; it's number nine!"
Hearing the words "number nine," both Xie Mingjin and Hu Guangsheng were stunned.
The next moment, Hu Guangsheng couldn't help bursting out laughing, slapping his thigh as he laughed, "Damn, serves you right! This is truly karma that won't miss, hahaha!"
Meanwhile, opposite, Xie Mingjin's face turned iron blue, muscles twitching, and then he grabbed Hu Guangsheng by the collar, "Damn it, ever since I met you twenty years ago, nothing good's happened whenever you're around!"
Clearly, Team Nine was the team led by Xie Mingjin.
Hu Guangsheng, who was being shaken by his collar, couldn't stop laughing, feeling an instant balance in his mind. If destined for misfortune, it should be shared for good measure.
After a moment of entanglement, Xie Mingjin and Hu Guangsheng exchanged glances, saying nothing, yet everything was understood.
Regardless, one must give their all in the competition, which is the greatest responsibility to oneself and subordinates.
"Are we sure to win this time?" The little girl hopped back to the camp, mischievously smiling.
The team members each gave her a thumbs up, indicating how impressive she was at drawing lots, much better than Wang Lubo.
As the team members' expressions relaxed, Miao Yueqian stepped up and said, "Keep your mind steady. No matter what, there's no easy opponent in the second round. Give it your all, and don't get complacent!"
"Yes!" Wei Shuai and the others responded in unison. It feels great to turn defeat into victory, but the premise is that you have to win first.
As the competition began, everyone noticed that both the Jiangcheng Team and Xinwen Team adopted a fast-paced combat style. With the previous day's matches as a foundation, both teams seemed sharper instead of in a downturn.
This made Hu Guangsheng and Xie Mingjin inwardly groan; the difference was indeed significant. By the time Jiangcheng Team and Guangyang Team finished the first four events, the other two teams had just begun the third.
This was destined to be a competition without suspense. Although Jiangcheng Team and Guangyang Team didn't directly face each other, it felt like they were competing "through the air."
Competing to complete their projects faster and earn more points, both sides mustered all their energy, determined to outdo the other.
In the final team mountain warfare, Jiangcheng Team advanced swiftly like an arrow, with Wei Shuai as the arrowhead, finding a point to charge directly. The audience was thrilled, and Hu Guangsheng almost jumped and swore.
Damn it, when facing Xinwen Team, you weren't this fierce. Why change styles on me? Do I not deserve respect?
Guangyang Team's combat style was much the same, straightforward and simple without any unnecessary fuss.
Finally, by three in the afternoon, the top three emerged: Jiangcheng Team, Guangyang Team, and Qiutai Team.
Though Qiutai Team made it to the top three, they still lagged far behind in total cumulative points compared to Jiangcheng and Guangyang.
