Girls und War

The first two were, of course, captains from the special forces, while the last two were members of the Nameless Fifth Team. Since they had joined the special forces relatively late, Xia Shu wasn't very familiar with them.

In order to prevent himself from getting bored while watching the game today, Xia Shu specially got a few bags of snacks from Xiaomen.

As soon as she sat down in the studio, she ripped open the snack package and started eating calmly.

The two commentators looked confused and then looked at the event director.

The director looked at the audience's feedback and felt that there was no problem at all. He gave them a thumbs-up and signaled that the live broadcast should continue.

Later, she even thoughtfully brought Xia Shu a drink to prevent her from choking after eating too much.

Xia Shu was very satisfied with this little arrangement, and his impression of the show also improved a lot.

It seems that Xia Shu's appearance frequency in the show will gradually increase.

Before the main competition started, while the two anchors were previewing the event, Jiamei suddenly leaned over to Xia Shu and whispered to her, "I heard about the Rabbit God. I didn't expect you to sign such a big shot without saying anything. You're amazing."

Xia Shu looked at the sleeping girl, closed his mouth and chewed for a while, and after swallowing the food in his mouth, he said, "She is not that big, she is obviously very small."

Jiamei smiled when he heard that, knowing that Xia Shu was joking.

Or perhaps, for Xia Shu, signing Rabbit God was really just a small matter. It would be great if he had one, but if he didn't, it wasn't a big deal.

"So how did you convince her?" As he said this, his hand naturally reached into Xia Shu's snack bag and took something from it.

Xia Shu's eyes were fixed on the hand that was pretending to be asleep as it was pulling the things out of her bag, and then she shifted her gaze from the hand that was pretending to be asleep to the eyes that were pretending to be asleep.

Seeing that the other party showed no guilt at all, Xia Shu moved the opening of the bag slightly and placed it on the other side of his body. Then he replied, "Actually, I didn't say anything. I just gave her the right to enter and exit the Imaginary Battlefield freely, and she was willing to come here."

"Oh, that's for your sake." Fake Me nodded thoughtfully, took a bite of the cookie in his hand, and then looked at it with surprise. He said to Xia Shu, "What brand is this? It tastes pretty good."

Seeing this, Xia Shu turned the package over and showed it to Jiamei.

He nodded, as if he had taken note of it.

Then the group stage of the doubles competition was about to begin, and at the host's reminder, the two turned their attention to the camera.

There are not as many participants in the doubles competition as in the ten-man competition, but it is definitely not a small number either.

There were over 200 participating teams, totaling 400 participants. While that might not seem like much compared to the 10-man competition's over 1,000 participants, standing together they still formed a massive mass.

The rules for the doubles competition have no upper limit on the number of battle zones. As long as you can pass the entry threshold set by the auditions, you will be qualified to participate.

Therefore, the number of places in the doubles competition is not fixed, sometimes there will be a lot, and sometimes there will be very few.

This time, the more than 200 groups are obviously the larger ones, so according to the rules of this competition, the flower area also divides them into two upper and lower competition areas.

Each division will have 16 groups, and ultimately 32 groups will compete for the only championship.

In addition, the rules of the two-player competition are slightly different from those of the ten-player competition, and it is more inclined towards sniper confrontation.

During the group stage, the participating pairs will play a rotating points match.

At the end of the group stage, only the top 32 groups will advance to the finals.

In the finals, the rules of the competition are the same as those of the sniper competition finals. All participating teams enter the competition venue and the ranking of each group is determined according to the battle royale rules.

There will be three such matches, and the points from the three matches will be added up to form the final match points.

Two of the four participating teams from the special forces were divided into the upper and lower competition areas.

The first event today is the group stage of the first half of the competition. The competition events include two-person tactical execution, simulated encounter, pentathlon and tactical triathlon.

The competition format is also a battlefield simulation, with no head-to-head confrontation between groups.

This kind of competition might not seem as intense as the small-team competition, but the group stage is just a prelude; the real excitement will have to wait until the finals of the top 32.

Now, let’s just watch the fun and see how the girls compete in points.

Seeing that the game was about to begin, the players from each group entered the warm-up phase.

In the previous few days' competition, the news about the special forces had gradually spread. And today's competition also had special forces members, so it attracted a lot of attention.

Under the guidance of the two anchors, Xia Shu briefly shared some information about the participating players. However, she later grew annoyed and, using military secrets as an excuse, she stopped talking.

The two anchors were at a loss, so they just talked about the performance of strong teams in past competitions.

Seeing that everyone's attention was no longer on her, Xia Shu took out another bag of snacks and ripped open the packaging with a "snap".

The bag I just ate was a bag of matcha-flavored cookies. They had a chocolate filling inside, so they had a very unique texture, and Natsuki really liked them.

This bag is slightly larger and contains some kind of egg roll filled with solid yogurt.

This one tastes noticeably better than the one with cream.

Xia Shu remembered it after having eaten it once at Xiaomian's place, so he stole a pack while she was not in the dormitory and prepared to savor it carefully.

He sat there pretending to be asleep, obviously ready to make some move.

It seemed that she also had some kind of heartfelt identification with Xia Shu's taste in snacks.

However, Xia Shu was very alert. As soon as she woke up from her doze, she hid the bag of egg rolls in her arms.

Then he took out just one cigarette, put it in his mouth and savored it carefully.

857. Three Variations on Plum Blossoms

The doubles competition has many group competition subjects and many participants. It is obviously unrealistic to finish the competition in half a day like the ten-person group competition a few days ago.

So their competition will last for several days, and the participants will be divided into more than ten groups, and compete in order.

The Dragon Slayer team and the Phantom Burial Girls team are ranked relatively far back, so we will have to wait a while before we can see their matches.

So the host took this opportunity to ask Xia Shu about his opinion on the group stage.

Xia Shu thought for a moment, then pointed at the field while holding half an egg roll. "Supposedly, this competition should still use the old sniper team format. They turned the doubles competition into a sniper-spotter match. It's just—meaningless, don't you understand?"

Listening to Xia Shu's words, it was clear that she was very dissatisfied with the current doubles competition system. The others could only nod their heads when they heard Xia Shu's words.

There's nothing we can do about it, since he's the champion of the last sniper competition.

Apart from her, there may be no one else in the world who has more say in such a competition.

"Then according to Ms. Natsuki, what kind of playing style should be adopted for the doubles match?" Nono asked Natsuki.

Xia Shu thought for a moment, holding half an egg roll in his mouth. Then, with narrowed eyes, he said, "At least... tighten the map and make the squad encounters more intense. Don't set up large sniping areas. Also, add more unit characteristics and incorporate all kinds of combat equipment. Look at these players now. Besides sniper skills, do they learn anything else? If you like being a sniper so much, why not participate in the sniper competition? Why not participate in the doubles competition..."

The two anchors were speechless after hearing this.

As Xia Shu said, the current doubles competition is indeed becoming more and more like a backup event for the sniper competition.

But Xia Shu still didn't take into account that not everyone can participate in the competition as easily as eating and drinking water like her.

How many people want to enter the sniper competition, but are struggling to find the right path!

Correspondingly, the two-man competition was almost naturally designed for sniper duos. Therefore, those other elite snipers who had no hope of entering the sniper competition would choose to participate in this relatively low-entry competition with their observers.

At the same time, when two-man teams of other arms fight on the battlefield, they are obviously no match for professional snipers.

So in the end, snipers squeezed out other types of soldiers and turned the doubles competition into their backup venue.

Xia Shu didn't know much about these things, but that didn't stop her from disliking seeing battlefield battles that were highly homogenized.

The event organizers are also well aware of this problem, which can be seen from the ratings of various competitions.

In order to save the already endangered audience, they even had to stagger the doubles competition and sniper competition.

But even so, the ratings for the doubles competition continued to decline.

After all, with more exciting sniper duels, who would be willing to watch the sniper reserve competition?

As the host of the competition, Nono seemed to be very aware of this. So she quickly asked Xia Shu, "So, are the special forces participating in this competition the sniper team?"

"Well, let me think..." Xia Shu recalled the list of participants and then said, "There is a group that has a backup sniper. The others are not."

"In this case, I'm afraid they will be at a disadvantage in the competition..." Nono quickly showed a worried expression.

Xia Shu nodded, seeming to agree with her statement.

But she quickly replied, "But we usually have a lot of anti-sniper training. Ordinary snipers can't control them."

The two anchors' eyes lit up when they heard this, and they immediately asked, "Could Ms. Xia Shu tell us in detail?"

Xia Shu thought about it and felt that it was too troublesome to explain. So he refused and said, "It's a military secret. I can't tell you."

Then he continued to eat the egg roll calmly.

At this time, the previous groups had finished their competitions, and the two groups of special forces were about to take the stage.

So the girls in the live broadcast room all showed expressions as if they were watching the game seriously.

The first competition was the pentathlon, which had events very similar to the triathlon that Xia Shu had experienced before, including long-distance running and swimming competitions.

But now they need two people to cooperate with each other, so there are still very high requirements for the synchronization rate of the two people.

The two anchors in front of him began their witty commentary, and Xia Shu reached for the bag of snacks.

But she reached out and felt something was wrong, so she immediately turned her head to look at the person sleeping next to her.

Fake sleep looked back at Xia Shu in a very pretentious manner and asked, "What?"

Although Xia Shu didn't see the egg roll crumbs at the corner of his mouth while pretending to sleep, the weight on his hand still clearly revealed what had just happened.

Seeing Jiamei's expression of denial, Xia Shu could only shake the mouth of the bag and pour the crumbs into his mouth while staring at her.

Then she took out the third bag of snacks from below and opened the bag with a "snap".

This third snack is different from the previous two bags.

As the finale snack, this bag is Xia Shu's favorite.

That's puff.

Although this kind of puff looks very similar to the small puffs on the market, the contents inside are not ordinary cream.

Xia Shu always thought that ordinary puffs were too sweet and a bit cloying. After eating one or two, he couldn't eat any more.

But the puff in front of me was not filled with cream. Instead, it was filled with yogurt, just like an egg roll.

The small puffs with sweet and sour fillings are very satisfying to eat, and you will feel the pleasure of bursting.

After trying it once with Xiaomian, she fell in love with the feeling.

So this time when he was stealing, no, borrowing snacks, Xia Shu specifically searched in the refrigerator and took out the bag of puffs with a label of "Do not taste".

Maybe Xiaomen will feel very disappointed when he comes back, but Xia Shu obviously can't care about that.

It is more important to make yourself happy.

Xia Shu was the most protective of his third bag of snacks. He kept a close eye on Mimi while taking each bite.

Although Jiamei was extremely envious, it was difficult for him to do anything under Xia Shu's strict defense.

So she decided to go to Xia Shu's place and see if she could get something else to eat.

But her attempt obviously did not work.

Because all the snacks in Xia Shu's hand——

All of them were stolen from Xiaomian!

858. She started eating again

By the time Xia Shu finished the third bag of snacks in his hand, the group stage was nearing its end.

Needless to say, the result of the competition was that the two teams of the special forces were far ahead of the other players, and their points were so low that they were almost invisible.

Although there were only a few events in today's competition, the "special warfare style" of the two teams was very strong.

Simply put, no matter from which angle you look at it, the military qualities of special forces members are far beyond the reach of other players.

According to the audience, only the top aces among the sniper elites can compete with them.

However, according to Xia Shu, only one of her contestants is a true sniper.

Therefore, it is difficult to predict the result of the final before the game starts.

Seeing that the group stage was about to end, Xia Shu finished the snacks in his hand, then took out a big red apple and took a bite of it with a "crunch".

Both anchors looked a little disappointed.
