Chapter 236 - Global University Tournament (6)
This Curse Is Just Awesome
âBrother Yu, whereâs your volunteer card?â Duan Ye looked at the long line in front of him and said, âUse your ten points as a volunteer and you should be able to bring me and Yao Zi in.â
âOkay.â
Chen Yu nodded and brought the two of them around the line to Gate 12. He showed his pass and said, âBeauty, Iâm a volunteer. Can I bring two friends in?â
âSure. But youâre too late.â The staff looked at Chen Yuâs pass. âThereâs already too much to do inside. Hurry up and help.â
âNo problem.â
They entered the Birdâs Nest Stadium.
Chen Yu and Duan Ye looked at each other and smiled. They immediately prepared to take off their passes.
But before they could take them off, they were caught by the supervisor who suddenly appeared. âThat volunteer! What are you doing?â
âAh⦠Oh, my ID is crooked. I want to put it back on.â
âBullsh*t! You b*stards, there are a total of 800 volunteers in the record, and now there are not even 500 of them! You slipped right in! Donât you have any sense of responsibility?!â the supervisor spat angrily.
Chen Yu: ââ¦â
Duan Ye: âRed-hot roar hahahaâ¦â
âWhat are you laughing at? How did you get in?â The supervisor shifted his gaze to Duan Ye and Bahuang Yao.
âThe beauty outside said that we can follow the volunteers in,â Duan Ye quickly explained.
âIsnât that the back door?â
âThis isnât the back door,â Duan Ye retorted. âItâs the back door.â
âDonât give me this crap.â The supervisor took out a stack of forms from his pocket. âIf you want to get in free of tickets and queue, you canât enter for free. This is a sports event, and weâre short of athletes. Each of you can apply for three.â
âIs it okay to catch athletes at the Olympics?â Duan Ye was shocked.
âDonât waste time. Hurry up and choose.â The supervisor handed two forms to Duan Ye and Bahuang Yao. âEach of you can get three spots for the preliminaries. If you donât choose, get out.â
The three of them looked at each other. Chen Yu shrugged. âChoose. Take it as a warm-up. Itâs just for fun.â
âYou have to choose too!â The supervisor looked at Yu Chen again and handed out the forms. âChoose!â
âIâm a f*cking volunteer! I still have time to compete?!â
âAt least choose one.â The supervisor frowned. âItâs a temporary sports event. The time is too tight, and the number of suitable applicants is not enough. All of you are students from top universities. You just need to do the pre-selection as a show.â
Hearing that, Chen Yu could only take the form. He glanced at it and randomly selected a âbasketballâ event. âOne, Iâve chosen it.â
âThree.â Duan Ye handed over the form. âIâve also chosen it.â
âI⦠Iâve also chosen it.â Bahuang Yao was the last to hand it over.
âOkay.â
The supervisor took it and looked through it one by one. When he saw the events that Duan Ye had signed up for, he was instantly enraged. âWhat the hell did you fill out?â
Duan Ye tilted his head. âWhatâs wrong?â
âGymnastics, synchronized swimming, and ice skating?!â
Duan Ye puffed out his chest. âAre these three not suitable for me?â
Chen Yu looked at him sideways. âYou want to pick up girls, didnât you?â
Duan Ye retorted, âIsnât picking up girls also a sporting event?â
âFill it up again!â
The supervisor roared and pushed Duan Yeâs form back. Then, he saw Bahuang Yaoâs events. After a moment of silence, he became even angrier. âWeightlifting, sumo wrestling, and football?!â
Bahuang Yao stood where she was and shrank back from the roar. ââ¦Yes.â
Chen Yu: ââ¦â
âFill them all up again!â
â¦
In the end, under the strong pressure of the supervisor, Duan Ye and Bahuang Yao were forced to modify their beloved events. They went to the competitor booth.
Chen Yu was also brought into the volunteer resting room to wait for the assignment.
Walking into the resting room, he looked around, and sure enough, he did not find a trace of Ma Li.
Using his heel to think, he knew that the woman had sneaked away.
âPhewâ¦â
Letting out a sigh of relief, he casually found a seat and sat down. Chen Yu looked at the big screen hanging in the middle of the room.
On the screen was the live broadcast of the Birdâs Nest Stadium.
He could see that inside the stadium, which occupied an extremely large area, the attendance rate was close to half.
When the audience outside entered, the stadium was full.
âMost of them are local people.â
âAfter all, itâs not easy to cross the sea during the apocalypseâ¦â
Looking at the scene of fireworks and surging crowds on the screen, Chen Yu couldnât help but think of the College Entrance Exam of Qingcheng City.
In terms of scale and attention, the Global University Tournament would definitely kill 100 College Entrance Exams of Qingcheng City.
However, Chen Yu was sensitive enough to sense that the people were not enthusiastic about the Global University Tournament from the bottom of their hearts.
Only the College Entrance Exam was the most important festival in peopleâs heartsâ¦
Clap clap clap!
About ten minutes later, the supervisor walked into the resting room and clapped his hands hard to attract everyoneâs attention. After that, he shouted, âThe second batch of missions has been issued. Letâs get moving. Those that Iâve selected, come over.â
âYou, you, you, you, you, and youâ¦â
Chen Yu was among them.
âYou guys go to the room next door and get the cameras. Youâre in charge of recording the process of the competition.â
âArenât there so many reporters?â Chen Yu raised his hand and asked.
âThat was filmed by others. Donât we have our own video data?â
âFor such a big competition, we canât even find a group of professional photographersâ¦â Chen Yu was powerless to complain.
âItâs just a show for ordinary people to watch. You guys just need to fool around.â The supervisor waved his hand impatiently. âHurry up and go.â
Following the main group, Chen Yu went to the room next door and received a shoulder-mounted camera.
After playing with it for a while, he found that its performance was much better than a machine of the same size in his previous life.
Of course, it was also a lot heavier.
If one was not a martial artist, it would be very difficult for one to have the physical fitness to carry it.
âItâs all distributed. Is there anyone who doesnât know how to use it?â Another person in charge also carried a camera and shouted, âThose who donât know how to use it, quickly come and learn from me. Donât f*cking not even know how to turn on the power when youâre on the field.â
The many fake photographers did not react at all.
âAlright, since you all know how to use it, then letâs go.â The person in charge waved his hand.
Carrying the heavy camera, Chen Yu walked briskly out of the room and entered the Birdâs Nest Stadium, which was as noisy as thunder.
Standing at the entrance, he looked at the loud gongs and drums, the sound of firecrackers, the waving of red flags, and the sea of people in the audience seats. Chen Yuâs heart was inexplicably excited.
This kind of big scene, which was beyond the imagination of ordinary people, was too rare in this post-apocalyptic world.
On the other hand, thinking that the hundreds of thousands of people present could die in the next Beast Tide, Chen Yuâs excitement slowly subsided.
âYour name is Chen Yu, right?â
Behind him, the person-in-charge who followed him patted Chen Yuâs camera and pointed at the track and fieldâs field. âThe 100-meter, 200-meter, 800-meter, and 3,000-meter running events are yours. Pay attention to the smooth recording.â
âNo problem.â Chen Yu made an âOKâ gesture.
âThereâs a roller coaster beside the track. When the time comes, weâll sit on it and film it.â
Chen Yu said, âThatâs even more no problem.â
After bidding farewell to the person-in-charge, Chen Yu was like a lonely soldier. He carried the camera alone and went to the side of the track and field field track. He sat on the roller coaster.
Five minutes.
Ten minutes.
Twenty minutes later.
The time arrived at 12:25.
A tall soldier held a red flag in his left hand and a private rocket launcher in his right hand. Under the watchful eyes of hundreds of thousands of people and billions of people around the world, he walked solemnly to the center of the stadium.
Puchi!
He used force with his left hand and planted the red flag on the grass. The soldier knelt down on one knee and raised the private rocket launcher to aim at the sky.
The entire stadium was instantly silent.
Countless cameras were aimed at this scene.
Following that, on the rostrum where the big shots gathered, Bahuang Yi stood up with a calm expression. He turned on the microphone in front of him and read the script.
âRepresentatives, guests, friends, comrades.â
âLet us remember the pain of the past history.â
âTime, let us look forward to the prosperity of the futureâ¦â
âBlah, blah, blahâ¦â
âBlah, blah, blahâ¦â
âIn this Global University Tournament, we must carry forward civilization, strengthen unity, encourage each other, exchange experiences, clarify goals, keep our feet on the ground, and muster our energy. We will organize this Global University Tournament into a conference of civilization, unity, peace, prosperity, and self-confidence. We will organize a grand ceremony of vowing to revitalize mankind and create glory againâ¦â
âI, Bahuang Yi, announce on behalf of the entire nationâ¦â
âThis yearâs Global University Tournamentâ¦â
Whoosh â
The moment Bahuang Yiâs voice stopped, the soldier in the middle of the lawn pulled the trigger.
A rocket shot into the sky, and with a boom, it exploded into a mushroom cloudâ¦
Bahuang Yi: âOfficially, begins!â
âOhhhhhhhhhhhâ¦â
The entire audience was in an uproar.
It was like a tsunami.
Hundreds of thousands of spectators waved their arms and realized the excitement in their hearts.
Chen Yu, who was on the roller coaster, had a dark expression on his face.
âAs expected of the apocalypse.â
âUsing a small nuclear bomb as a salvo is too awesomeâ¦â
After he finished speaking, Bahuang Yi and many big shots on the rostrum left the seats.
This kind of âfoolingâ the commoners was just a sports event that provided them with time to prepare for the official competition. No one was willing to waste time watching it.
However, the audience was in high spirits. They screamed, clapped, and shouted, welcoming groups of athletes to the stage.
Perhaps, only this kind of âOlympic Gamesâ could make them reminisce about the peaceful world in their memoriesâ¦
12:45.
The first sport to start was the 100-meter sprint of the track and field team.
Under the gaze of the crowd, the 10 mixed men and women walked to the track and squatted down to prepare.
Yes.
In any case, they were all âfoolingâ. The officials didnât even differentiate between the men and women groupsâ¦
They could just leave them on the field and run around blindlyâ¦
âLetâs get to work.â
Chen Yu picked up the camera, turned on the switch, and checked the status of the equipment. Then, he aimed the camera at the ten people on the runway.
Around him, many reporters and media teams also raised their cameras.
âTake your positions.â
A volunteer who acted as a referee raised a sniper rifle and perfunctorily pulled the trigger.
Bang!
The ten athletes immediately shot off and rushed to the finish line.
But immediately after, the volunteer continued, âGet readyâ¦â
The ten athletes immediately stopped and looked at the referee in confusion.
âRun!â The volunteer shouted, âRun!â
The ten athletes: ââ¦â
âWhat are you waiting for? The gunshots are to alert you. I said run before I started running!â
The ten athletes: ââ¦â
âRun! Run!â The volunteer raised his sniper rifle again and pulled the trigger repeatedly.
âBang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!â
âRun faster!â
Chen Yu: ââ¦â
The athletes looked at each other for a few moments before they started running.
Squeak â
At the same time, the roller coaster under Chen Yu started to move and carried him to finish filming.
A few seconds later, the athletes crossed the line one after another.
Chen Yu also put down the camera and yawned.
This job was much easier than he had imagined.
âTo be able to come to the scene personally, itâs pretty goodâ¦â
The 100-meter first group ended and the second group immediately went on stage.
The volunteer was still the referee. He raised his sniper rifle and shouted, âEveryone in position! Get ready!â
Bang!
The sound of gunshots rang out, but the athletes did not move at all.
The volunteer frowned. âWhat are you doing? If I shoot, it means itâs starting. Run!â
Chen Yu: ââ¦â
An athlete raised his hand. âDidnât you say last time that gunshots donât count?â
âLast time was last time, and this time is this time.â The volunteer was dissatisfied. âWhich one of us is the referee?â
âF*ck you!â
Chen Yu, who was on the roller coaster, immediately jumped up and sent the volunteer flying more than ten meters with a flying kick. âDo you know how to be a referee? F*ck off!â
Then, he picked up the sniper rifle on the ground and sat back on the roller coaster. He said loudly, âBased on the sound of gunshots, take your positions. Get readyâ¦â
The ten athletes bowed.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Bang!
After the gunshot, the athletes suddenly dashed out.
With the gun in his left hand and the camera on his left shoulder, Chen Yu finished shooting again under the guidance of the roller coaster.
Chen Yuâs âprofessionalismâ won the praise of the supervisor.
Therefore, in the next groups, Chen Yu was both a photographer and a referee. He completed all the preliminaries and semi-finals of the 100m, 200m, 800m, and 3000m.
He was very efficient and gave the athletes almost no time to rest.
In such a âworld-classâ high-standard venue, a âvillageâ level professional sports meet was held. Chen Yu felt awkward no matter how he looked at it.
But the audience was very happy to see it.
Waving flags and shouting, jumping and cheering, it was a lot of fun.
The final of the running event began at 2 oâclock in the afternoon.
Chen Yu followed the many athletes and went off to rest.
When it was 2 oâclock, when Chen Yu returned to the field, he found that his roller coaster had been dismantled.
The original position of the slide was occupied by the shotputtersâ¦
Chen Yu: â???â
Looking at the shotput on the ground and then looking at the track less than a second away, Chen Yu was dumbfounded. He found the shotput judge and asked, âWhat?â
The shotput judge was also a volunteer. He turned around in confusion and asked, âWhat? What?â
âWhy did you tear down my slide?â
âI didnât think anyone would use itâ¦â
âBullsh*t! Why did your shotput team come to my side? And tear down my slide?â
âI had no choice.â The shotput judge spread his hands. âOur position was taken by the javelin throwers.â
Chen Yu: âWhat about the people who threw the javelins?â
The referee: âThe long jumpers have taken it.â
Chen Yu: âWhat about the long jumpers?â
The referee: âThe wrestlers have taken it. They seem to say that it doesnât hurt to fall in the sand.â
Chen Yu: ââ¦Are the long jumpers willing?â
The referee: âEven if they were willing, they wouldnât be able to beat the wrestlers.â
Chen Yu: ââ¦â
Chen Yu turned his head and looked at the âmessyâ stadium in a daze. He felt like he was about to collapse. âDamn it, isnât this too much of a joke?â
âWatch out! Shotput!â the referee suddenly shouted.
But it was too late.
When Chen Yu came back to his senses, a flying iron ball had already hit his lower abdomen.
Dong!
[Injured: Reproductive Ability +43]
[Sperm Quality +26; Prostate Health +20; Qi and Blood +105]
Chen Yu: ââ¦â
[Mental Strength +11]
âBuddy, are you okay?â The referee picked up the shot put and asked carefully.
Chen Yu was expressionless. âTake your athletes and get out.â
âBut weâ¦â
Chen Yu picked up the sniper rifle. ââ¦â
âOkay, okay, okay. Letâs go.â The shotput judge was terrified. He walked up to the athletes and shouted, âLetâs go, Letâs go. Weâll occupy the badminton courtâ¦â
â¦
In many sports events, track and field was the recognized crown event.
The 100-meter dash in track and field was the pearl at the peak of the crown.
After entering the 100-meter final, even if the officials were perfunctory, they assigned a live host to commentate.
All the gazes and all the cameras were focused on this.
âOkayââ The supporter tested the microphone and said loudly, âWelcome back to the 100m event. After an hour of intense battle, the final eight contestants stand out.â
âThey are: * * contestant, Level 5 fighter.â
â* * * contestant, Level 5 fighter.â
â* * contestant, Level 6 fighter.â
ââ¦â
âAnd the last * * contestant, Level 5 fighter.â
âThrough the analysis of the strength on paper, Contestant Number 3 * * is undoubtedly the favorite to win the championship. Because with Level 6 strength, even if he doesnât explode with strength, his physique is far superior to other contestants.â
âAlright! We can see that the judge and cameraman of this match has kicked off the roller skating track and raised the signal⦠Sniper rifle.â
âThe match is about to begin! Letâs wait and see.â
The crowd of hundreds of thousands of people quieted down once again.
âEveryone, take your positions!â Chen Yu raised the sniper rifle. âGet readyâ¦â
âEveryone, pay attention! The match is about to begin! In a battle of pure physique, strength, and speed, who will be able to win todayâs championship?â
Bang!
âThe guns are fired! Good! Ten contestants rushed out of the track at lightning speed!â
âNumber 8 fell and subconsciously used his strength to fight against the competition! He withdrew from the competition in advanceâ¦â
âAs expected! The one leading at the start is indeed Number 3 * * ! The strength of a Level 6 gives him strong kinetic energy! The gap between him and the other contestants is getting bigger and bigger!â
âOh! It turns out that he had reserved his strength in the previous competition. He won! He must win! Because he is not alone at this moment. Behind him, there are thousands of Level 6 fighters!â
âHow can a Level 6 lose to a Level 5 fighter?â
âMy friends in the audience, cheer! He has faith and is about to rush⦠What? Someone actually caught up?!â
âSo fast! He really caught up!â
âThat person is carrying a camera?!â
âOh my god! Itâs the cameraman! The cameraman caught up and actually caught up to Contestant Number 3!â
âThe other nine contestants are already dumbfounded!â
âOh my god. Contestant Number 3 saw the cameraman from the corner of his eye and he was also dumbfounded.â
âSo fast! He overtook him! overtook him! He crossed the line! He crossed the line! Ahhh!â
âHe crossed the line successfully!â
âThe champion! The champion is the cameraman!â
â5.33 seconds! A new record! A new world record has been set!â
âLet us congratulate this person⦠Hmm?â
âWhy is he a cameraman?!â
