My Animation Era

The move will take a few days.

Although the house has been purchased, the decoration company has not yet entered the scene. As for the renovation, it is estimated that it will be completed before the end of the year at the earliest.

Maybe later?

After all, when my wife heard that the house was going to be renovated, she enthusiastically stated that she would personally design the decoration blueprint and Gu Miao would not be allowed to interfere.

All right!

If you don't get involved, don't get involved. Gu Miao is not interested in the decoration of the new house at all. He is only responsible for swiping his credit card to pay the bill, and he doesn't need to worry about the rest.

Rather than renovating a new house, he is more concerned about the progress of the ongoing "Wanbao Cup" National Youth Tennis Competition, a provincial and municipal competition.

Other provinces and cities don’t matter.

As the location of Wanbao's headquarters, he is still very concerned about the competition in Jiangchuan City.

To be more precise…

He pays more attention to the performance of several Jiangchuan local middle schools that have performed well in the anime "The Prince of Tennis".

Animation is very different from reality!

For example, in the animation, Yulin Middle School properly sends a round of warmth to the swimming team. But in reality, the tennis club of Jiangchuan Yulin Middle School is extremely strong.

In the Wanbao Cup Provincial and Municipal Competition, in the Jiangchuan Division, Yulin Middle School directly humiliated Lele Middle School with three scores 6:0.

That's Lele Middle School!

In the animation, Lele Middle School is a dark horse in the Jiangchuan area. It even defeated the popular Meijiang Middle School and entered the East China Competition as the runner-up.

As a result, in reality, the "dark horse" Lele Middle School was so vulnerable that it was eliminated by Yulin Middle School with a clean sheet and missed the chance to advance to the East China Competition.

"Is this an upset?"

"It doesn't count!"

Lao Zhang, who supervised the whole process of the competition, couldn't help but shake his head when he heard this and said: "The strength of Lele Middle School is not as good as the animated version. It is normal that it cannot beat Yulin Middle School."

"The real dark horse should be Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School..."

Speaking of which.

As an insider, Lao Zhang was speechless and said: "By the way, Shen Chao from Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School is so fierce! Why is he so strong? He looks a bit like the dragon horse in the animation."

He is obviously a freshman in the first grade of junior high school, but he can beat a bunch of senior students who are in the second and third grade of junior high school. Every time he is defeated by a big score, he is really strong.

"I know this!"

Gu Miao said in surprise: "Classmate Shen Chao is very fierce, and this matter has been exposed a long time ago. But no matter how fierce he is, he is only one person. He can only win a single match. What kind of dark horse is he?"

The game is Bo5!

The format of the Wanbao Cup National Tennis Competition is basically the same as that of the animation. Each game consists of two doubles and three singles, and the first school to win three points wins.

Under this competition system.

Although Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School has talented players like Shen Chao, they can only win one singles match at most, and it is difficult to win a game in a row.

unless……

Others can also super evolve!

"Yeah, others are outrageous."

The corner of Lao Zhang's mouth twitched and said: "Who knows what happened? Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School, which was just pecking at each other with the noobs of Lele Middle School, suddenly became stronger collectively."

"Lele Middle School was blocked by Yulin Middle School, and Yulin Middle School was blocked by Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School..."

Outrageous!

How long has it been since then? Why did Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School suddenly become so strong? Is this scientific?

"Wait a minute!"

While Gu Miao was amazed, she seemed to have thought of something, and asked Lao Zhang: "Yulin Middle School is the top four, right? Then Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School defeated them, doesn't it mean that they have entered the finals?"

"Enter..."

"The final begins in a week! Their opponent is Jiangchuan No. 2 Middle School. This game is very popular on the Internet and is known as the Jiangchuan Derby!"

Jiangchuan Derby?

Gu Miao heard a black line.

Derby usually has the flavor of "rivals", right? Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School and No. 2 Middle School, if he remembered correctly, they were "brother" schools. Where did the smell of gunpowder come from?

Well, that's not important.

Regardless of whether there is a smell of gunpowder or not, this is a game worth watching. After all, this seems to be the closest the Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School Tennis Club has come to the competition trophy?

…

The news that Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School entered the finals for the first time and was expected to break the "no championship" curse soon spread throughout half of Jiangchuan.

The reason why it is only half of Jiangchuan, not the whole of Jiangchuan, is that the other half of Jiangchuan people support No. 2 Middle School.

Wanbao's promotion is spot on.

Regardless of whether they are interested in tennis or not, whether they know the players from No. 1 Middle School or No. 2 Middle School, all Jiangchuan citizens are aware of this game due to Wanbao’s intensive advertising bombardment.

Similarly, Shen Chao's parents also knew.

"Baby, eat more meat!"

Shen's mother took off her apron, gave her son a piece of braised pork, and then warned: "This will give you strength to play and win the game."

"Your mother is right!"

"Dad took half a day off today to watch your game. Son, you must win! Dad bet a fortune with your Uncle Wang!"

Shen Chao: "..."

What the hell is Ichijo Hanako?

Aren't his parents very opposed to him playing tennis and asking him to focus his energy on studying and strive to get into a good university in the future?

Why did your attitude change so quickly?

With strong curiosity, Shen Chao asked the doubts in his heart.

"This..."

Dad Shen smiled brightly and said: "In this competition you are participating in, the winner should get a bonus, right?"

"Well, there are also runners-up!"

Shen Chao nodded. He was about to ask what this had to do with the bonus, but when he saw the "son, you know" expressions on his parents' faces, he understood instantly.

Dare you be in love just for the bonus?

After finally understanding why his parents' attitude suddenly became so good and why they strongly supported his playing, Shen Chao was speechless.

This was not the case before.

After the animation "The Prince of Tennis" was broadcast, Lele Middle School invited him to compete in Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School. He showed great tennis talent and attracted the favor of many tennis coaches and professional players, but his parents still resisted his practice.

Although at that time, Shen Chao had not yet made up his mind to move towards the path of "professional tennis player", so he declined the invitation.

But my parents still said that there is no future in playing tennis, and it is more practical to go to college. It will be easy to find a job to support myself in the future...

Shen Chao originally thought that it would be difficult to convince die-hards like his parents.

Who knew his face would change so quickly?

A few days ago, he was saying that he had no future in playing tennis. After learning how generous the prize money in the competition was, he immediately encouraged him to play and bet a fortune on it.

"No. 2 Middle School..."

Biting the braised pork his mother gave him, Shen Chao's eyes were solemn, and the previous "training match" with Jiangchuan No. 2 Middle School came to mind.

That time, they failed miserably.

Although it was a training match and not a formal match, everyone focused on training and did not show their full strength.

But that time, the tacit doubles team of Jiangchuan No. 2 Middle School still left a very deep impression on Shen Chao.

too strong!

In the animation "The Prince of Tennis", the status of singles is higher than that of doubles, and ordinary audiences do not value doubles matches and doubles players.

But in real games, doubles is the key to victory or defeat.

After all, singles...

Except for bugs like Shen Chao, everyone else is at the level of a rotten fish, and it is difficult to be crushed by strength.

I drank so much last night that I was woken up by the fireworks display at twelve o'clock. My brother sent the red envelope on my behalf. I hope you'll forgive me...
