Elder brother's garrison

"Forget it, look at my eyes, I'm actually looking forward to our destined showdown."

"Sleep with your sister!"

Liu Ling and the two grown men walked downstairs, laughing and joking.

Looking at the two of them, Xiaobai couldn't help but feel envious.

What a great relationship.

If Lianlian were here right now, I wonder if we could have made such a funny joke together.

There were more than twenty people in the competition. Tirpitz was at the back because he registered relatively late.

"Please welcome contestants number 21 and 22!" The host's voice carried a hint of relief as he announced the contestants from Tirpitz's group, whose competition was nearing its end.

Tirpitz yawned softly and turned to look at Little White.

"I'll be right back," Tirpitz said, and walked out.

Tirpitz's outfit caused a huge reaction from the audience.

Xiao Bai could hear that when Tirpitz went on stage, the audience below completely erupted into a sea of ​​cheers.

"Oh, this time we have a cosplayer up here!" the female host's voice rang out. "May I ask what character contestant number twenty-one is cosplaying?"

On television, the female host shoved the microphone to Tirpitz's mouth.

“Tirpitz?” Tirpitz said.

"Ah, I knew it! She's one of the supporting female characters in the super popular manga, Yuru Kantai Collection. I heard that the manga is going to be adapted into an anime."

The female host seemed to have also read the comic, and in her excitement, she said a few more words.

"I remember you brought a little girl cosplaying as an admiral to register before, didn't you, Miss?" The female host saw that this contestant seemed to have aroused the enthusiasm of the audience below, so she took the opportunity to ask a few more questions.

“Yes,” Tirpitz replied.

"Could you bring it out so we can see it?"

“No,” Tirpitz replied calmly. “She’s shy.”

Xiao Bai in the waiting area felt that at that moment, everyone in the waiting area turned their eyes to him.

Xiao Bai's face flushed red instantly.

—Tirpitz, that idiot.

Tirpitz's witty (?) reply ignited the passion of the match.

She and contestant number 22 took their positions, and the competition began the instant the countdown ended.

On the screen, the two little figures were locked in a fierce battle, as if they were mortal enemies who had killed each other's fathers and stolen each other's wives.

Tirpitz eventually won, but not easily. Her gameplay seemed much stiffer than at home, and her reactions were slower. Several mistakes allowed her opponent to win two games. In the very end, she barely managed to win the match by a narrow margin of 3-2.

The match ended, and Tirpitz advanced to the second round.

She remained as nonchalant as she slowly walked back to the waiting area.

"See, we won." She walked back to Xiaobai's side and said to Xiaobai.

"Ah... um." Although winning doesn't seem as cool as the first and second contestants, Xiaobai thought, but didn't say it to discourage Tirpitz.

In the second round, the order of registration was no longer followed. Instead, the host put the winning numbers into a lottery box and drew them out one by one.

"The first round of the second match! It's... number one! And... number eighteen!" The host rummaged through the red lottery box for a while, pulled out two numbers, and shouted out the numbers on them.

When contestant number 18 realized that he was going to compete against contestant number 1, who was the previous city champion, he instantly lost half of his fighting spirit and walked onto the stage with a look of despair.

Just as Xiaobai had predicted, Jiang Xiaohei lived up to his reputation as a professional competitor, easily crushing these amateur players as if it were nothing, resulting in another clean and decisive 3-0 victory.

It was already the second round of the competition, and the weaker players had already been eliminated, leaving only those with some skill. To still be defeated 3-0 by Jiang Xiaohei was still quite shocking.

The audience below the stage cheered.

"Can you beat Tirpitz?" Xiaobai asked anxiously from the side.

To be honest, Tirpitz's performance in the match just now wasn't very high. I feel that if Tirpitz were to go up and fight Jiang Xiaohan now, he probably wouldn't win a single game.

"Don't panic, it's not a big problem." Tirpitz maintained his calm expression.

This seems like a pretty big problem...

Xiao Bai thought with some concern.

Because there were half the number of participants in the second round, the competition time was also much faster.

It was Tirpitz's turn again, and she was greeted with cheers from the audience when she came on stage.

However, compared to the grand entrance he made, Tirpitz's actual strength remained largely unchanged.

They barely managed to win 3-2.

...Could the different feel of the controls compared to the gamepad be affecting my skill level...? Xiaobai worriedly wondered.

Tirpitz came down, yawning.

The competition continued in an orderly manner.

In the third round, the host again chose to draw cards.

"The contestant for the third round! It's... number one!" The host pulled out a number plate and shouted to the audience below.

Player number one, Jiang Xiaohei, had already defeated his opponents with absolute dominance in two consecutive matches, leaving the audience with an impression of invincibility. Upon hearing that he would be the first to go in the third round, they immediately cheered.

"The player facing off against number one is..." The host reached into the lottery box, pulled out a number plate, and his expression changed slightly, "Number twenty...one!"

In the third round, Jiang Xiaohei will face Tirpitz!

The audience was silent for a few seconds, then erupted into an even louder cheer.

Unlike the mindless cheering audience, the host felt a little bitter.

This girl, number 21, attracted a lot of viewers to the match. If possible, he really didn't want Tirpitz to face off against number one.

Ideally, it should be saved for the finals or something...

However, after thinking about what number 21 had done, the host shook his head with a self-deprecating smile.

This girl doesn't seem to be very good at the game... Oh well, it's not easy for her to make it to the third round.

"Please invite contestant number one and contestant number twenty-one to the stage!"

In the waiting area, Tirpitz quietly watched the television screen.

"I'll be right back," Tirpitz said calmly as he walked out.

His composure was tinged with confidence, just like in the first game.

Chapter 131 Isn't the job of ship girls to fight deep-sea monsters?!

Tirpitz walked calmly and steadily, yet inexplicably gave Xiaobai boundless confidence.

For a fleeting moment, Xiaobai felt that Tirpitz was like Guan Yu before the cup of warm wine, wielding his eighty-two-pound Green Dragon Crescent Blade, leaping onto his horse to fight General Hua Xiong amidst the thunderous drumbeats, causing the heavens to crumble, the earth to collapse, and mountains to crumble.

Xiao Bai quickly shook his head, patted his cheeks, and woke up.

Wake up, it's just a game.

Tirpitz and Jiang Xiaohei walked onto the stage.

One is a high-quality cosplayer, and the other is the current unbeatable symbol. The fact that these two hot topics of the competition met before the finals caught the audience off guard.

But they don't care about all that; seeing something interesting is the best thing.

"Go, girl! Go, girl!"

"You'll win, girl!"

"This girl beats up number one's dog head!"

The moment the two stood on the stage, before the host could even say anything, the audience erupted in a frenzy.

Jiang Xiaohei gave a wry smile.

The stupidest thing in the world is to go against a beautiful woman.

Although Jiang Xiaohei didn't think he would lose because he thought Tirpitz's skills were only at an average level, he still felt a little embarrassed when he stood on the stage and was attacked by the entire audience as if he were a public enemy.

"Haha, it looks like contestant number one has bitten off more than he can chew." Luckily, the host stepped in to save the day, "After all, her opponent is such a beautiful young lady."

"What do you think about being matched with a pretty girl?" The female host skillfully steered the conversation in that direction.

Generally speaking, due to time constraints, these pre-competition Q&A sessions are usually scheduled for the finals. But even a fool knows that this is the climax of the entire competition, and as the host, I definitely have to come up and say a few words.

"I feel hopeless," Jiang Xiaohei said into the microphone.

The audience members below the stage smiled knowingly at the right moment.

Of course, the audience's bias is not malicious. It's just that Jiang Xiaohei's fighting power so far is too strong, so people have no desire to cheer for her. On the contrary, Tirpitz is good-looking and her skills are not that high. Plus, she is facing the number one strongest player so far, so people can't help but want to cheer for her.

"Haha, it seems contestant number one is completely lost about the future of this match," the female host said with a laugh. "So, should contestant number one choose to surrender?"

"Ah, is it possible to surrender?" Jiang Xiaohei's eyes lit up.

"Of course not!" the female host retorted.

The audience burst into laughter.

Jiang Xiaohei naturally understood that the persuasion to surrender was just something the host said to liven up the atmosphere, and he didn't need to take it seriously.

"Alright, alright, contestant number one, let's get down to business. Do you have anything to say to contestant number twenty-one?" The female host asked, then shoved the microphone to Jiang Xiaohei's mouth.

Jiang Xiaohei and Tirpitz stood on either side of the stage, quite far apart.

"Please... show mercy," Jiang Xiaohei said.

With more competitions, you'll become more adept at handling these interactions with the host.

"Does contestant number twenty-one have anything to say to contestant number one?" The male host asked Tirpitz in a cooperative manner.

Unlike the outgoing Jiang Xiaohei, Tirpitz was very uncomfortable with the host's time-wasting behavior.

“…Let’s get started,” Tirpitz replied.

"Ah, it seems contestant number twenty-one is also quite impatient." The host seemed oblivious to the strong dissatisfaction in Tirpitz's voice. "Alright then, let's cut to the chase and have both contestants take their places."

Tirpitz sighed.

—These people talk too much nonsense.

She walked over to the racing machine next to her.

This unconventional and independent style of behavior inexplicably touched the hearts of many viewers.

Because the character this girl is cosplaying is Tirpitz from Ship Girls.

Tirpitz in the comics is such a lazy person!

This young lady is so dedicated!

"Go, girl!"

"Go, girl! You have to win!"

"Go Tirpitz!"

"Long live Tirpitz!"

As the crowd's shouts grew louder, they even started calling out the character the young lady was cosplaying.

—Although, in hindsight, the person they were shouting was right.

Tirpitz put on the headphones on the machine, and instantly, the surrounding noise was blocked out.

These headphones are so convenient; they can block out so much sound.

Although the effect was not obvious to Tirpitz, he could still hear the surrounding sounds if he listened carefully.

She looked at the machine screen.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Xiao Bai watched the broadcast of the game from the waiting area.

The characters in this fighting game are very simple, just two people. Even though they are two people, the only difference is the color of their clothes. Even their move lists are exactly the same.

Players can even change the colors of their favorite character's clothes to seven different colors according to their preferences.
