Chapter 715 The Princess At The Peak
It was already late at night in China, but the international community was shocked by the sudden appearance of this dark horse.
The scores were already more or less settled, and all the major media outlets had even drafted a press release. Now that a dark horse who had won 220 times in a row suddenly appeared, all the major media outlets had no choice but to change their drafts overnight.
There were too many consecutive victories. In the end, it even alarmed the finals officials.
Because in the semi-finals, everyone’s information was not transparent. Even if they wanted to find out who this person was, they could not. They could only wait for the finals to see who this magical folk expert was.
The next morning, Xia Wanyuan woke up to check her ranking.
She knew that Jun Shiling would definitely help her get a good ranking. Having been together for so long, she was very clear about Jun Shiling’s thoughts.
Jun Shiling was brushing his teeth in the bathroom when the door was suddenly pushed open. Before Jun Shiling could ask Xia Wanyuan what she wanted to do, Xia Wanyuan had already leaned over and kissed him on the cheek.
“Thank you.” Xia Wanyuan’s dimples appeared. She smiled at Jun Shiling before heading downstairs to eat.
Jun Shiling, who was in the bathroom, was caught off guard and received a small surprise. He froze for a moment and then swallowed a mouthful of toothpaste.
When it was time to send Xia Wanyuan to the set, Jun Shiling lightly flicked Xia Wanluan’s forehead. “Next time, don’t kiss me while I’m brushing my teeth. You made me eat a mouthful of toothpaste.”
“We’ve been married for so long, is there a need for such a big reaction from a kiss?” Xia Wanyuan glanced at Jun Shiling speechlessly. Was there a need for this?
“What do you think?” Jun Shiling held Xia Huayuan’s hand. “Even when I’m a hundred years old, I’ll still be moved by your kiss.”
“Nonsense,” Xia Wanyuan rebuked, but her eyes were sparkling with laughter. In the past, Xia Wanyuan would see Chen Xiaoguo chatting and laughing with the crew members when she arrived at the set. However, today, she saw Chen Xiaoguo alone in a corner.
Seeing Xia Wanyuan enter the group, Chen Xiaoguo looked at her with fear and hatred.
Although Xia Wanyuan did not know what Jun Shiling had done to the Shi family, she had heard some news over the past few days. The Shi family’s stocks had plummeted and their businesses were in chaos. Shi Tian had not appeared in public these days.
“Wanyuan, you’re here. I want to change the angle of yesterday’s scene. Let’s film it again, okay?” Wang Weigang walked over when he saw Xia Wanyuan.
“Alright.” Xia Wanyuan nodded.
At the headquarters of the International Go Masters Competition, the auditors were already on duty. Today was the last day of the semi-finals and the 20 civilian participants would be advancing soon.
“Is that Xia online today?”
“No, 15th place is good enough. It’s good to stop the losses in time. If he loses, he’ll have broken the record of a complete victory.” “You’re right. I thought he was going to enter the top three based on what he did yesterday.”
The employees gathered together and whispered to each other. They looked regretfully at the big screen. Yesterday, they were all excited when they saw the rankings. They had thought that today’s rankings would be better, but now it seemed like it was impossible.
On the set, Xia Wanyuan had finally completed the shoot that Director Wang wanted.
“You’ve worked hard.” Chen Yun handed a wet towel to Xia Huanyuan, who had just finished filming, and then placed the iced watermelon aside. He waited for Xia Huanyuan to wipe her face before eating. “Your alarm just rang. Do you have something to do?”
“It’s nothing. I’m going to play chess.” Xia Wanyuan nonchalantly took the phone and leaned back in her recliner. Chen Yun was silent for a moment. He thought it was a big matter and worried him for a long time. But why has Xia Wanyuan become so obsessed with chess recently? She even set an alarm.
However, Chen Yun had never understood Xia Wanyuan’s thoughts, so he didn’t feel conflicted. “You eat first. CEO Jun said that it’s hot today, so he sent ice cream over. I’ll go out and get it for you.”
“Mm.” Xia Wanyuan nodded, then directly opened the competition website with her tablet.
“Hurry, hurry, hurry!! That Xia is online!!” In the stadium, the employees who had been paying close attention to the Xia account immediately discovered that it had lit up.
“There are only two hours left. What is he doing online now?”
Could it be that this “Xia” wanted to make it into the top ten? However, the current first tier team, although not professionals, were still top-notch civilian experts. Under normal circumstances, their confrontation would take more than half an hour.
It was also very difficult to reach the top ten within two hours.
However, they soon realized that they had been too naive.
Half an hour? No way.
Right now, his opponent was already quite strong. Although he wasn’t as fast as before, he still maintained the speed of beating every contestant in three minutes.
The employees in the lobby looked at the account that represented “Xia” which jumped up and down on the rankings.
There was still an hour left before the semi-finals ended, but everyone’s attention was focused at this moment.
The word “Xia” had already steadily surpassed everyone. It stood at the highest point of the semi-finals’ rankings and became the biggest dark horse of the semi-finals!
All the employees and reporters in the hall went crazy. They had been in the industry for so many years, but they had never seen anyone who could directly kill the first place in the semi-finals.
This made them wonder if a retired professional gamer had used a sub account to participate in the competition. However, there were only a few retired gamers in the world who could achieve such results.
They would only know who the mysterious Xia was in the finals.
“Wow, this person is really amazing. For a civilian contestant to be able to do this, he must have put in a hundred times more effort.”
“That’s right. To be able to defeat so many veteran experts, it means that he must have been hibernating for a long time. He must have gone through many trials and tribulations to have such skills. His hard work has paid off.”
At this moment, the most powerful dark horse, who everyone admired and admired, was leaning on the recliner. She was holding an ice cream cone in one hand and casually tapping on the tablet with the other.
After eating half a watermelon and an ice cream, the semi-finals were over.
Xia Wanyuan pushed the laptop aside. “Brother Chen, help me arrange a schedule. I’m going to Continent M next week.”
“Alright. That art competition is two days, right? I’ll apply for three days of leave for you.” Chen Yun knew that the Qing University had signed up for the World Art Competition for Xia Wanyuan. It was next week.
“Add another two days.” Xia Wanyuan thought about the process of the Go Masters competition. Although the two competitions were not in the same city, at least they were not far from each other. It was just nice that she participated in both.
“Ah? Okay.” Chen Yun thought that after Xia Wanyuan finished participating in the competition, she would play there for another two days before returning. He did not think much about it and directly agreed.
