Girls und War

To be honest, Xia Shu didn't really like these point-based events. Like the other spectators, she was more interested in direct battlefield confrontations.

So when the host asked about it, Xia Shu just responded with a few words casually, as if perfunctorily.

However, when the scallops were grilled, Xia Shu became more focused, and even stars began to appear in his eyes.

The situation in today's game was slightly different from yesterday's.

Simon seemed to be reborn under Xia Shu's encouragement, and the feeling on the field was completely different from yesterday.

In several events, she beat all the competitors and won the first place in the competition.

The audience saw the situation change drastically and exclaimed that Simon was unbeatable and that only Xia Shu could return to battle.

Xia Shu picked up a piece of grilled scallop, picked it up and put it into his mouth and took a bite.

Then he said to the sleeping one, "It's all good."

Then he picked up a big shrimp from the grill, dipped it in the seasoning, and put the whole thing into his mouth.

After today's competition, Simon's ranking has improved slightly.

However, because the gap between them was too large during the previous day's competition, and Chunxiang hadn't shown any obvious signs of slacking off, there was still a considerable gap between their performances.

In the subsequent competitions, if Simon wants to catch up with Chunxiang, he must work harder and not slack off at all.

Xia Shu didn't know whether Simon could eventually surpass Haruka in points, but it seemed that no one would know the outcome of the confrontation between the two of them until the last day.

After today's game was over, Xia Shu finished the food on the barbecue grill, burped, and said a few perfunctory closing remarks to the audience.

Spectators said they gained three pounds just from watching the competition. They had been planning to lose weight, but they hadn't expected to be poisoned in a place like this.

But even though they complained, they still couldn't refuse the live broadcast of the event with Xia Shu appearing.

There were even some people who specifically cut out the audio of Natsuki eating, made it into ASMR and posted it online.

In response to this, a group of voice control enthusiasts pushed the audio download volume to the top of the website from a critical perspective.

The comment section of the download entry also left a long string of confusing messages such as "Thank you for your great help."

Of course, Xia Shu herself didn't know about this, and no one told her.

However, in some invisible places, Xia Shu's fan base is growing little by little.

That increase is even higher than the previous competition.

Many people didn’t even know that Xia Shu had won the sniper competition championship. They just thought the little girl eating at the commentary desk was cute, so they followed her.

And these popular fans will have a new round of surprises after gradually learning about Natsuki's past history.

But these things have nothing to do with the current topic, so I won’t go into details.

All we need to know is that after the director noticed this, he would definitely not stop Xia Shu's increasingly excessive eating behavior in the studio. That's enough.

Therefore, under the instigation of Mimei, Xia Shu's subsequent eating and watching of the game became more and more excessive and unscrupulous.

So on the third day of the sniper competition, she and Jiamei had mutton hotpot.

On the fourth day, we had cheese hot pot.

On the fifth day, it was roast suckling pig.

On the sixth day, we had a seafood sashimi set meal.

As the days passed, Xia Shu almost forgot that he was the special guest of this show.

Those new viewers will also feel extremely confused when they enter the live broadcast room.

If you don’t know, you might think you are watching a food show.

864. If you don’t order takeout, you can use air instead

Today is the sniper competition, the last day of the first half of the game.

Only a few high-difficulty precision shooting events remained in the competition.

Since there was more time, the competition was scheduled for the afternoon, giving the players more time to prepare.

With the extra free time, the program team arranged for the main stage to broadcast exciting competitions of other events.

Now is the critical moment of the medical competition. It can be seen that all the contestants are working hard to quickly bandage the seriously injured dummies.

Xu Dongdong, who was in charge of the commentary, also reported the match quickly in a nervous tone.

"...We can see that Miss Nan Ding, number six, used a relatively safe, padded fixation method, bandaging the wound very quickly. Meanwhile, Miss Ye, number ten, employed a more aggressive cross fixation method, applying pressure to the bleeding point while applying the bandage with one hand. This bandaging technique may be somewhat against the rules, but the speed of the bandaging is truly remarkable. I wonder if the referee will deduct points? Ah, the referee raised his hand. It's a yellow card, but no points deduction. Miss Ye has indeed changed her technique, employing kneeling pressure to stop the bleeding—wow, luckily I'm not the 'injured person' beneath her, otherwise I would be in excruciating pain..."

Although Xu Dongdong's commentary was very exciting and the competition was indeed very intense, most of the audience's attention was still on Xia Shu, who was having a meal nearby.

What Xia Shu ate today was a little special. It was the mushroom set meal specially recommended by the store manager.

In front of her and the one who was dozing off was a small barbecue grill, with slices of various mushrooms sizzling on the grill.

A small soup pot was located a little further away. Amidst the faint white smoke, the bubbles in the pot gurgled.

Xia Shu picked up a translucent piece of matsutake with a pair of tongs. Seeing it roasted to a golden brown on both sides, the aroma permeated the air. He picked up a pair of disposable chopsticks and snapped it open. Then, after gently blowing on it to cool it, he carefully placed it in his mouth.

She closed her eyes and chewed for a while. She felt it tasted good and nodded slightly.

Then he picked up some black pepper and twisted it on top, and used chopsticks to turn the mushrooms over one by one.

The seasoning on the mushrooms sizzled as they were grilled over charcoal fire, and a rich, unique fungal aroma filled the entire studio.

The director seemed to have anticipated this. He picked up a bag of beef jerky, opened it, and distributed it to the staff. Then he picked up the thickest piece of beef jerky and ate it with relish (￣～￣).

The two anchors are in a more miserable situation. As official figures of the program, they are the least qualified to eat.

Xu Dongdong could only swallow his saliva, then said to Xia Shu, "By the way, I heard that Miss Ye is also a member of the special forces' medical team. What do you think of her performance, Miss Xia Shu?"

"Hmm... I'm pretty optimistic." Xia Shu absentmindedly poked the porcini mushrooms on the grill with his chopsticks and replied, "Ye Zi's battlefield first aid is simply god-like. I wouldn't be surprised at any place she gets. Of course, winning the championship would be even better."

Then, Xia Shu asked the sleeping man again, "Is the soup ready?"

Fake sleep picked up the spoon and stirred it in the small soup pot for a while, then replied, "It's done."

Then he took out two small bowls, filled one bowl and handed it to Xia Shu.

This pot is filled with chicken mushroom soup. It is fresh, sweet, tender, fragrant and delicious, comparable to chicken. Hence the name "chicken mushroom soup".

After Xia Shu took it, he blew on the edge of the bowl to cool it down, then took a small sip. He felt the sweetness explode on his taste buds like a cannonball, and nodded with great satisfaction.

Then I saw another piece of matsutake mushroom starting to curl up. It was already cooked thoroughly and would burn if I didn't eat it. So I picked it up with chopsticks and put it in my mouth, closing my eyes and savoring it carefully.

Porcini, another delicious mushroom on the grill, needs to be eaten more delicately.

Because porcini mushrooms are poisonous, they must be handled carefully. Therefore, they must be boiled before roasting to remove the poison after they are cooked through.

Xia Shu, on the other hand, is even more careful when eating. Not only does she boil the mushrooms, but she also grills them, flipping them over and over again to heat them through. She ensures every bit of the mushroom is golden brown before she dips them in sea salt and puts them in her mouth.

Just as we were enjoying our meal, news came from the sniper competition venue that the contestants had completed their pre-match preparations.

So after the director finished broadcasting this round of the medical competition, he switched to the main stage and put the camera back on the ace snipers.

At this time, the players had just finished their warm-up exercises, and the current sniper rankings appeared above the field.

The timing was just right, without missing a single thing, which is enough to show the director's skill.

In the current ranking, Simon has returned to the top three, with the gap between him and Chunxiang being less than 50 points.

If Simon can continue to dominate the competition today, she will most likely overtake Chunxiang and win the championship in the first half.

As for the other players, besides Little Jack in seventh and another veteran in tenth, the ranking of the active ace snipers is as follows:

The third place Qin was more than a hundred points behind Simon.

Anna is in fourth place, less than ten points away from the previous one.

The fifth place is the City Alliance, which is nearly 100 points behind Anna.

But the sixth-placed Wild Shadow Deer, the eighth-placed Lilith, and the ninth-placed Smiley Face were all only a dozen or twenty points behind the former. It seemed that with a little effort, they could overtake them.

This ranking is quite close to the sniper ranking list that Xia Shu saw when he first joined the army.

Except that little Jack has now retired from the front line, everything else is almost the same as before.

This intense competition really whetted Xia Shu's appetite, and even increased the speed at which she ate mushrooms.

At the same time, in addition to these ace snipers, the competition among other lesser players is also very interesting.

Zhan Jian made steady progress in a series of events and managed to keep his ranking at 20th place without falling.

Jia was not to be outdone and surpassed several veteran players, raising his ranking to around 30th place.

The latter part of the high-precision shooting is the special forces' forte. Therefore, Xia Shu felt that their ranking was not only the same, but might even rise slightly.

So, under the expectant gaze of the crowd, the competition began.

A group of snipers also began their precise shooting confrontation in the final state of high psychological pressure.

Needless to say, the ace snipers in the front have long been competing against each other at the top level. Therefore, their ability to withstand pressure is obvious to everyone.

On the contrary, the new players may not be able to get used to the tense atmosphere of the competition.

Therefore, the newcomers of the special forces became the focus of attention in the competition.

865. Halftime results of various matches

Exerting pressure on the field is actually a technical job.

Many newcomers think they have good psychological qualities, but when they are actually on the scene, they will find that the huge pressure of being in front of the camera is not something that ordinary people can withstand.

Take, for example, some class speeches. When I'm in the audience, I think I can speak eloquently and I can't wait to speak without a script. But when I actually stand on the stage, I can't even speak straight and my legs are shaking.

why?

With dozens of people staring at you, it would be strange if you weren't nervous. Do you really think everyone in the audience is a potato and won't find fault with you?

If class speeches are so terrible, what about speeches within school?

What about the big games that are broadcast on television, in stadiums, and in front of thousands of spectators?

So many newcomers perform exceptionally well during training, even exceeding expectations during auditions. But then, once they get to the competition, they inexplicably falter. This is actually pretty easy to understand.

And many times, the pressure does not only come from off the court.

The veteran players in the field are actually quite scheming.

For example, if a new player has poor mental quality and shows his fear in the face of competition, what would you think if an experienced player stares at you for a few seconds?

Okay, it’s okay for one person to take a few glances, but what about a few more people?

These veterans in the arena are very good at finding the psychological weaknesses of the newcomers. They can easily give them some mean psychological hints that the newcomers can't handle.

Who doesn't play to win? There's nothing wrong with using dirty tactics.

Fortunately, Xia Shu's special forces had experienced the horrific beatings of Hell Week.

The pressure in the cricket competition is nothing.

Although Zhan Ren and several other girls received special "care" from the veterans of the competition, they still withstood the pressure and maintained their results.

Smiley, in particular, actually overtook several people and jumped to sixth place. This was something no one had expected.

As for the much-anticipated Chunxiang and Simon, their rankings ultimately remained unchanged.

Although Simon surpassed Chunxiang by more than ten points in the final game, the score difference on the first day of the competition still formed a huge gap.

Chunxiang was able to hold onto the pressure and maintain her championship position in the first half.

Although Simon did not overtake in the score, his mentality did not change significantly.

After all, this is only the championship in the first half, and there is still the last final to be played.

The real victory or defeat will be determined by the final 100-person competition.

At the same time, with the end of the final precision shooting competition, the sniper competition also ushered in the mid-season break as usual.

The finals of other competitions will be played one after another during this period until the battle zone competition enters the final stage.

As for Xia Shu, he has been in a state of not caring whether he wants to come or not during this period.

Since there was no sniper competition, the director did not force Xia Shu to be present.
