It's perfectly reasonable for me, a fisherman, to catch a Georgios, right?

"To be honest, your Shakiras is really awesome!!"

"Congratulations, junior!!"

"The match was fantastic! The one-versus-three victory was truly impressive!" Lu Wanyun and Song Yun also stepped forward to congratulate him.

"How's it going? Are you getting used to the competition?" Counselor Guo Jianguo also stepped forward to inquire.

"thank you all."

Qin Ming smiled as he responded to the congratulations from the school team members, and finally answered Guo Jianguo's question: "The competition felt pretty good."

Among the school team members, Nong Junzhe, the captain, looked at Qin Ming, who was surrounded by everyone, with emotion. Although he was the captain, Qin Ming had clearly become the undisputed center of attention.

However, Nong Junzhe was able to accept it easily. Last year's university league was a time when Shenzhen University was in a period of transition, and Nong Junzhe carried the entire Shenzhen University team on his own, but unfortunately, they were eliminated in the top 32 nationwide.

With the addition of Song Yun, Lü Wanyun, and Qin Ming, the strength of the Shenzhen University team has been greatly expanded, which has relieved the pressure on Nong Junzhe's shoulders.

"Perhaps, our Shenzhen University can go even further this year!!"

……

With Qin Ming, Song Yun, and Lü Wanyun emerging as talents, other universities began to gather intelligence on them and develop counter-strategies and tactics in advance.

Inside the lounge, Guo Jianguo, who was leading the team, addressed the school team members present: "The reporters responsible for the interviews are already in place. Everyone, come with me to participate in the post-match interviews."

As the second most important event after the National Trainer Tournament, the University League attracts the attention of countless people in China, and post-match interviews are naturally an essential part of the competition.

The school team members were thrilled with the media interviews. In this era where traffic is king, who doesn't want to become famous at a young age?

Upon arriving at the meeting room for the post-match interview, Guo Jianguo specifically instructed, "Qin Ming, Song Yun, and Lü Wanyun, this is your first time participating in the university league and your first time doing a post-match interview. The reporters are very likely to target you three."

“Especially you, Qin Ming, reporters might gang up on you.”

"In order to attract attention and generate traffic, these media outlets will ask you some tricky or unfriendly questions, so you need to be prepared for that in advance."

"If it touches on privacy or the question is inappropriate, don't answer it, just skip to the next one."

"By the way, don't be too friendly in your attitude. Those reporters are like sharks that have caught a whiff of something. If you're too friendly, they'll bully you!"

"Answer questions in a more assertive, bold, and flamboyant way, without any reservations, just say whatever you want."

Domineering, bold, and flamboyant—Qin Ming silently memorized these three words and nodded, saying, "Okay, counselor, I understand."

With the start of the university league, Qin Ming will often be in the spotlight. As his talent gradually emerges, more and more people will pay attention to him. It's not a bad thing to be prepared to be scrutinized by others in advance.

Each stadium has a dedicated conference room for interviews, where media personnel set up their cameras and waited patiently.

The 300-square-meter interview room seemed relatively empty, with not many people.

After all, this is just the preliminary round of the university league, and the intensity of the matches is not particularly high. If it weren't for Qin Ming's exceptionally large Shakiras, there would probably be even fewer media outlets covering the event.

As Qin Ming and his group entered, the flashbulbs on the scene went off incessantly.

It was extremely dazzling, like being hit by a fairy-type magic flash at very close range, or like being hit by a flashbang while playing a shooting game.

The Shenzhen University team members took their seats in the interview area, and everyone consciously gave the center position to Qin Ming and team leader Nong Junzhe.

Counselor Guo Jianguo was in charge of managing the situation: "Dear reporters, several of these students are participating in the university league for the first time, and this is also their first time participating in a post-match interview. I hope that you reporters will be kind and ask questions politely."

"Lady in the third seat in the first row, wearing a blue suit, you may ask your question first."

The reporter whose name was called stood up: "First of all, congratulations to Shenzhen University for winning the battle. I would like to ask Qin Ming, why is your Shakiras so big? And why is it not afraid of water?"

As expected, the large-sized Shakiras attracted considerable attention.

This wasn't the first time Qin Ming had answered this question, and he was quite adept at it: "My Shakiras eats a lot, so it's bigger. I subdued it on a deserted island in the Whirlpool Island Secret Realm. It often went into the water to catch fish spirits, and over time, it became unafraid of water."

Qin Ming's answer was quickly noted down by the reporters present. A report titled "Shocking! Shakiras is actually a swimming champion!" would likely easily garner over 10 views.

Or perhaps it could be titled, "Why are pseudo-legendary Pokémon appearing unusually on a deserted island? Is this an abnormal natural mutation?"

For media outlets that care about traffic, creating sensational articles isn't difficult.

"The lady with short hair in the black suit in the second row from the right, please ask your question."

The second reporter's question was also directed at Qin Ming, but it was less friendly compared to the first question.

"Qin Ming, according to publicly available information, you joined the First Action Team of the Guangdong Provincial Training Association three months ago."

"As far as I know, the first requirement for joining a special operations team in a major province is to possess formidable strength!"

"The average age of joining the First Action Team of the Training Association is 35, but when you joined the First Action Team, you were only a freshman in college and had just turned eighteen."

"My question is, is there some unspeakable secret behind how you were able to join the Guangdong Provincial First Action Team at just over eighteen years old?!"

The moment the question was raised, Guo Jianguo's face darkened instantly.

Before Qin Ming could answer the question, he grabbed the microphone and said, "I'll answer this unfriendly question!!"

"Qin Ming joined the Guangdong Provincial First Action Team not voluntarily, but was invited by Lin Hongsheng, the president of the Guangdong Provincial Training Association!"

"I suggest this reporter ask Chairman Lin; perhaps he can tell you the secret you're looking for!"

"Alright, next question!!"

"However, I hope everyone can maintain their composure and ask questions politely. It's really unethical to bring up unfounded rumors!"

With a bang, Guo Jianguo slammed the microphone down, then crossed his arms and glared at the reporter who had just asked the unfriendly question, with an expression that said, "I'll remember you. You made me very unhappy."

The hot-tempered counselor perfectly embodied the tone of being domineering, bold, and flamboyant before the interview.

Guo Jianguo was clearly right; his "I'm difficult to deal with" expression successfully made the next reporter much friendlier.

"Qin Ming, what are your expectations for Shenzhen University's participation in the university league this time?"

"Or what ranking are you aiming for this time?"

Upon hearing this question, Qin Ming glanced at Guo Jianguo and, true to his domineering, bold, and flamboyant interview style, declared, "I believe that all the teams participating in the university league are aiming for the championship."

"No school should have set a goal of second place, third place, or even the top eight."

"We at Shenzhen University are the same. Our goal is to win the league championship and bring that monument representing the championship back to the school history museum."

Qin Ming's words, "I'm aiming for the championship," were true, but they sounded somewhat domineering to the reporters.

"Qin Ming, your school ranks 20th among all universities in the country in the comprehensive ranking of HHT. With an HHT score of less than 20, you dare to challenge for the championship. Isn't that taking a bit too big a step?"

Qin Ming responded with a faint smile: "If the HHT comprehensive score you just mentioned is accurate and reliable, then what's the point of competing? Why not just award the first place a trophy?"

There was a tense atmosphere, but this only excited the group of reporters more.

The questioner continued, "Qin Ming, your school's best result in the university league was five years ago, when you only reached the top eight in the country. Now you're aiming for first place right away. Isn't that a bit excessive?"

"Secondly, under the leadership of their captain Zhou Gaojie, BJ University has successfully defended their championship title. It is said that Zhou Gaojie's strength has increased again in this year's university league, and almost everyone is optimistic that they will continue to win this year's university league championship. What do you think about this?"

This question made Qin Ming frown slightly, and he asked in return, "You mean Zhou Gaojie led BJ University to two consecutive championships, and he will continue to participate in the league this year?"

"That's right!!"

The reporter who asked the question had a smug look on his face, and even added: "Zhou Gaojie is the son of the current superstar Zhou Hongkai."

Does it matter whose son he is?

Qin Ming asked curiously, "Perhaps this Zhou Gaojie is very strong, but what I'm curious about is why he continues to participate in the university league?"

"BJ University won in the first year, which may not have had much to do with him, or perhaps he wasn't the one who led them to victory, so I can understand why they continued to participate in the second year."

"But BJ University won again the following year, which is enough to prove his ability."

"If that's the case, why is he still participating in the university league this year, which is his third year?"

What's the point of repeating something you can already do?

"It's like playing Honor of Kings. You've already reached the King rank and unlocked a higher level, but you stop trying and instead create a new account to climb back up from Bronze to King. Isn't that a boring process?"

"Or isn't this just staying in one's comfort zone without making any progress?"

Upon hearing this, the reporters present were overjoyed.

All sorts of sensational headlines jumped through their minds, and they even imagined that this explosive statement would definitely top the trending searches.

Chapter 117, The Ever-Torn Trending Topic! A Value of 135 Billion

As the post-match interview with Shenzhen University aired, it immediately went viral online, just as the reporters had predicted.

#Shenzhen University Post-Match Interview

In just two hours, this trending topic accumulated more than 3000 million views and climbed from the top 50 to second place on the trending list.

Countless netizens left comments under the related entries.

"Holy crap, Qin Ming is way too arrogant! He actually publicly criticized Zhou Gaojie for staying in his comfort zone!!"

"A young man who is not arrogant is not a good young man. It's normal for young people to be a little arrogant. A newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger. To be honest, Shenzhen University has no other impression besides being rich."

"That's right. Although Shenzhen University is a 211 university, it is still far behind prestigious universities with a long history like Tsinghua University and Beijing University."

"Perhaps it's because they attended an ordinary university that they don't understand how powerful Zhou Gaojie is!"

"That's right. Qin Ming won the championship in a selection competition held within their school. The victory made him arrogant and blinded him. He thought that all the heroes in the world were nothing more than this, but little did he know that he was just a frog in a well."
