Chapter 238 The Freshman Contest Begins

The week is coming to an end soon, and today is the start of the freshman competition.

Zhang Cheng had already set the alarm clock before he went to bed yesterday. Under the urging of the alarm clock, Zhang Cheng got up very early, went to the cafeteria to have breakfast, and then went to the competition venue to find a seat to sit down.

The time came to nine o'clock, and the opening ceremony of the freshman competition was underway. First, the leaders of the school took turns to speak. The leaders first introduced the long history of the school, and then praised the students below.

The students who can come to Shanghai University are indeed worthy of praise. It is impossible for them to be favored by Shanghai University without outstanding grades.

After more than an hour, the speeches of the leaders finally came to an end, and the students were already drowsy after listening to them below.

After hearing the leader's speech, the students cheered up and looked forward to the next game.

The leaders left the venue after their speeches, and the rest of the time was handed over to the chief referee of the competition.

"Good morning, everyone. I am Yang Lin, the chief referee of this freshman competition. I will be in charge of the rest of the competition." Yang Lin came to the high platform and gave a simple self-introduction to the freshmen.

The students were very interested in the competition. They clapped their hands and applauded after hearing the chief referee's self-introduction.

"I won't talk nonsense from now on. After introducing the rules of the competition, we will officially start the competition!" Yang Lin knew that these students were interested in the competition, and he didn't want to spoil everyone's interest.

"A total of [-] students participated in this freshman competition. The competition rules we adopt are single-elimination elimination. Each contestant has only one chance. If they fail, they will be eliminated immediately. If they win, they will advance to the next round."

"Each contestant will assign opponents according to the algorithm of the system. Every game is a 3v3 battle. The students who finally enter the top ten can get a lot of elf coins as rewards."

After the chief referee Yang Lin introduced the rules of the game, he pointed to the large electronic screen and said, "Next, we will announce the results of the first round of draw through the large electronic screen."

Everyone's eyes focused on the large electronic screen above. This large electronic screen has a large area, and each student's name can be clearly seen.

In addition to announcing the battle information on the big electronic screen, each contestant’s mobile phone will also send specific battle information, telling the contestants the specific battle area and time, and who the opponent is.

Through the information released on the big electronic screen, Zhang Cheng found out the college entrance examination scores of this group of freshmen in his mobile phone.

Through comparison, Zhang Cheng found that the freshman competition assigns opponents according to the students' grades. Students with high scores are usually assigned opponents with deviations in college entrance examination scores, and students with medium strength are randomly assigned.

For such a distribution method, Zhang Cheng can actually understand it after thinking about it carefully, and only in this way can he maintain fairness as much as possible and reduce the element of luck.

If students with good grades are divided into opponents in the first few rounds, many outstanding students may be eliminated in the first round.

If a student in the top ten was assigned the strongest opponent in the first round, it would be unreasonable.

If this happens too much, many strong students will be eliminated in the first round, and many weak students will enter the next round.

In order to ensure fairness as much as possible and take strength as the test goal of the competition, the school also came up with such a reasonable mechanism to allocate opponents.

According to the current rules for assigning opponents, Zhang Cheng will most likely meet relatively weak opponents in the previous rounds, and they should be relatively easy to deal with.

Of course, even in the face of a weaker opponent, Zhang Cheng has no intention of underestimating the opponent, and he will do his best to take every game seriously.

Since the first match was this afternoon, Zhang Cheng left the venue directly and went to the cafeteria to have lunch. Only when he was full did he have the strength to compete.

After finishing lunch, Zhang Cheng returned to the competition venue again, and after waiting for about an hour, it was finally his turn to play.

Under the instruction of the referee, the contestants from both sides came to the battle area and released their respective elves to fight.

The first elf that Zhang Cheng met was not bad, with a level of 38, but the second elf was only 35, which was already a big gap with Zhang Cheng's elf.

The opponent Zhang Cheng met in the first round was obviously the bottom of the group of freshmen here. In order to cope with the college entrance examination, only two elves were trained, and the third elf should have just been acquired recently, and his strength is simply not enough to participate in this kind of competition.

In fact, as Zhang Cheng thought, this student was not strong enough to enter Shanghai University, but he was lucky. During the exam, the two elves of the examiner were restrained by his elves in terms of attributes, and finally he was able to get a good result.

After defeating this opponent, Zhang Cheng successfully entered the next round. According to the competition system, half of the players will be eliminated in each round.

After the first round of today's competition, [-] contestants will be eliminated. When the competition reaches the third or fourth round, the opponents they will meet will be stronger.

After the match, Zhang Cheng left the venue directly. There was no match for him today, and he just had to wait for tomorrow's match notice.

After leaving the competition venue, Zhang Cheng still came to the cafeteria as usual, finished his dinner first, and then took the elves to train to warm up for tomorrow's competition.

After the training, Zhang Cheng took the elves back to the dormitory and took out energy cubes to replenish their strength.

In the next two days, Zhang Cheng participated in two more competitions. Naturally, there was no suspense about the outcome. The opponent elves he met were generally not strong, and they were basically in a crushing state.

After three rounds of elimination, there are only 200 contestants left. These 200 trainers have been screened layer by layer, and none of them are too weak.

Zhang Cheng still got up early today, and after breakfast, he came to the competition venue, quietly waiting for the competition to start.

After the chief referee Yang Lin arrived, he began to direct the staff to start the game. Today's match against Zhang Cheng will be at ten o'clock in the morning, and there is still an hour of preparation time.

For today's competition, Zhang Cheng is quite cautious. It is not easy for a trainer to last until the fourth round, and there will be something more or less.

During the waiting time, Zhang Cheng had nothing to do, so he took out his mobile phone and looked through some information about elves.
