Chapter 56 Live pre-game quiz to find out the street gentlemen
After Xiaozhi and his party parted ways with Qishu and Aster, they took a short break to fill their stomachs. After recovering from the Pokémon Center's strength, they returned to the central square.
On the way, Xiaozhi said anxiously.
"It's really strange. Before the challenge, the gym said that if you can't challenge it, you can't challenge it, but then it said that it will be held tonight and it will be held tonight. Is there an accurate number for falling to the ground? It's really puzzling."
Piper said from the side.
"Don't worry, the agreed time for the gym challenge is coming soon, don't you know we have to go to the central square now."
Xiao Qing also spoke.
"That's right, Qishu is originally a busy artist, and it's all thanks to Zi Wan that he agreed to participate in this gym challenge with you. But you also helped Zi Wan catch her own Pokémon that she longed for. You good people will be rewarded..."
Under the cover of night, the city, which was already full of lights and neon lights during the day, became even more radiant against the backdrop of the night, just like a city that never sleeps.
As Xiaozhi and his party got closer and closer to the central square, they gradually found that more and more pedestrians were rushing in that direction, and it became more and more lively. They listened attentively to what the pedestrians were saying.
"The time is coming, let's go to the central square and have a look!"
"I heard that the new episode of "Qishu Qishu Live Broadcast" will be held at the Central Square..."
"It's great, I can see the strange tree with my own eyes!"
Xiaozhi said something incomprehensible when he heard the words of the pedestrians around him.
"That's strange. Isn't it almost time for the Gym Challenge? Why is it Qishu's live show?"
"We're almost there, let's find out more."
After Pipa's persuasion, Xiaozhi and his party finally returned to the central square. Unlike when they left before, there were only a few tourists.
The central square is now overcrowded, no less crowded than when Xiaozhi and the others were in the Niangguang Gym, and even worse. You need to go through a gate to enter the square. Due to the size restriction of the door frame, and too many people pouring in together...
After a period of hard work, Xiaozhi and his party finally followed the crowds of people and came inside. There were also many people gathered inside and outside the central square. The lights illuminated the square as brightly as it did during the day.
Xiaozhi said doubtfully.
"There won't be any temporary large-scale events to be held! My Gym Challenge won't be ruined."
Just when Xiaozhi and the others were confused, Aster from the crowd pulled out and walked towards Xiaozhi and the others. I saw Zi Wan holding Xiaozhi's hand and leading Xiaozhi and the others to the battle field in the central square.
"Brother Xiaozhi, and everyone, you are finally here, the live broadcast is about to start, hurry up and get in your seats!"
"Get in position? What do you mean..."
Before Xiaozhi could ask him clearly, Aster left him alone on the field, calling Xiaoqing and Pipa to lead them to the audience's viewing position.
At this moment, a female's naughty voice sounded through the speaker.
"Hello everyone! Use the electric grid to capture your eyeballs! Who is coming to Qishu? Qishu is here!"
"Wow! It finally started! Qishu..., Qishu..."
As Qishu's voice appeared, many onlookers and fans were excited... As a beam of spotlights was cast, the last darkness in the central square was also lit up, and Qishu also responded with the crowd. Appeared quietly and unexpectedly.
I saw that Qishu had changed out of the wide hooded camouflage that he had used for disguise before, and replaced it with the yellow and black sweatshirt with a wide neckline and extra long sleeves that he used in the daily live broadcast and endorsement video, revealing his large and long twin ponytails. , wearing two ornaments shaped like little magnets on his head.
Qishu also continued to introduce to everyone present.
"I am the leader of Niangguang Gym! Good morning, noon and evening!"
Xiaozhi said in surprise.
"Great, can you finally challenge me to the gym? Qishu."
Qishu replied with a smile.
"The suddenness of the incident may have shocked you. However, the situation at this moment... I am broadcasting live to the entire Padia region!"
"This challenger, thank you for coming to Niangguang Gym to meet me. The central square here is also a battle venue specially prepared for challengers."
The audience present was also excited.
"What, tonight's live broadcast of "Qishu Qishu Live" is a live broadcast of a gym challenge battle with challengers?"
"It's great. We usually watch Qishu's playful side during live broadcasts. Although we never tire of it, it's not easy to see Qishu's strength as a gym leader."
Xiao Qing on the side was also so surprised that he was dumbfounded.
"What, what, what...what! Do you want to live broadcast a gym challenge with Xiaozhi? This is something that has never been broadcast live before!"
Suddenly, Guangnan, who appeared next to Xiaoqing and the others at some unknown time, said.
"Yes, it hasn't happened before, and we have never tried it before. We don't know how effective it will be... This is all thanks to the idea that Qishu suddenly mentioned this afternoon. It not only solves the problem of being unable to familiarize yourself with the normal live broadcast content due to lack of time, An act of desperation.”
"You can also test the ratings by challenging Xiaozhi's Gym. Once introduced by the audience, you can use this method to make several live broadcasts of this kind in an orderly manner. To balance the long-standing artists Regarding the relationship with the gym leader, after all, Qishu not only likes live broadcasts, but is also a good player in Pokémon battles. After all, as a gym leader, he always shirks the trainer's gym challenge requirements, and the Padia League will also have Opinions…”
After listening to Guangnan's words, Xiaoqing and Paipa also understood the significance of this battle and continued to watch the live broadcast of Qishu.
"Although I am very happy, I have a little bit of fame after all, so I am actually very busy. So, seeing as you help Zi..., oh no, I mean only passionate challengers, I will consider it Let’s act together.”
"That's it. Before you compete with me in the gym, you still have to find some entertainment activities in the live broadcast. That's it, let me explain the mini-games before the competition..."
With that said, Qishu spun around on the spot and made a playful introduction.
"Let's invite some street gentlemen to come over here!"
Xiaozhi and the others were startled by who was coming. They saw this "gentleman" wearing the orange and purple uniforms representing the Orange & Grape Academy. He adjusted his glasses with one hand and appeared in the square.
Ash asked in surprise.
"Principal Clavel, why are you here!"
Clavel adjusted his glasses again and said.
"I happened to be passing by near here and stopped by Nianguang City to have a look. Thinking about it, I haven't been here for a long time."
"I see!"
But what Qishu said during the live broadcast was completely different from Clavell's explanation.
"Hey! What, what! Do you know each other? This 'gentleman' who helped us implement the mini-game before the battle stood out from the many fans..."
Aster in the audience also explained to Xiaoqing and the others.
"Qishu is really a conscientious live broadcaster and gets along very well with fans. As a fan, I became friends with Qishu."
Clavel's face turned red when he heard this, he raised his hand to cover his mouth and coughed, then continued.
"Having said that, I did have something to do nearby and just came here. As for being chosen by Qishu, it was just a coincidence."
Qishu continued to describe the rules of the game.
"This gentleman we selected from our fans has really impressive aura, so he was selected to be our assistant guest for this event... Although you know each other, you can't cheat! Then let our This challenger Ash and the gentleman Clavel come to play this game of hide and seek.”
"Best of three. If you can find the gentleman hiding in the photos taken by my chief photographer three times, you can pass the gym test and compete in the gym challenge."
"This hide-and-seek activity is called, 'Guess where I am? Find the street gentleman!'. This name came to me suddenly. There should be no problem..., forget it! That's so good, this Gentleman, please get ready, and remember to increase the difficulty level by level."
Before Clavel left, he did not forget to add some additional words.
"I usually receive the care of the Padian Alliance here, so I'm here to help."
While Clavell ran away from here and did his hiding work, Xiaozhi stood with his back to the street to ensure the fairness of the game. Moreover, Qishu's chief photographer also appeared with his own camera. He was no outsider, it was Nishida who had met Xiaozhi and the others several times.
Xiaozhi greeted happily.
"What, isn't this Nishida? It turns out that Qishu's chief photographer is Nishida, and the boss of the part-time job agency Nishida mentioned is Qishu. What a coincidence!"
Seeing the two people who met happily, Qishu couldn't help but interrupt and asked again with a puzzled look on his face.
"What? Do you know each other too?"
Nishida said to Qishu while reminiscing with Xiaozhi and the others.
"Yes, they are the friends I mentioned to you before, when I took a few days off to travel."
"That's it! The world is really small..."
As he said this, Qishu became a little embarrassed.
"...It's a little game that I finally came up with. How come the assistant gentleman and my photographer are both people known to the challenger? People won't think that we are cheating, right?"
Nishida said immediately.
"No, I keep a clear distinction between public and private things in my work. Although I am friendly, I will not mess with my best work. Furthermore, even if I want to deliberately cheat, I think Xiaozhi will never cheat. .”
After hearing this, Qishu felt relieved and continued her live broadcast.
"You're almost ready, gentleman, is that all right?"
Not far away, a positive answer came from the other end of the intercom of the staff who was following Clavel.
"Hide it!"
Qishu gave up his position to Xi Tian and continued to preside over the ceremony.
"Okay, fans and friends, our gentleman has taken cover. Next, I will ask my chief photographer, Nishida, to take a photo in the direction of hiding..."
Following Qishu's command, Nishida clicked, and a photo of the street was projected onto the big screen in the square.
"The time has come to challenge trainer Xiaozhi. Please find the figure of the gentleman hiding inside within three minutes. Please also ask all viewers not to remind the challenger that the competition time has begun."
People on both sides were also very cooperative, making "boo" sounds everywhere, for fear of disturbing Xiaozhi's judgment.
After a while, Xiaozhi raised his finger and said.
"On the chair under that parasol."
"Congratulations, you got it."
The whole place was excited, but Xiaozhi waved his hand disapprovingly and said.
"Isn't it simple?"
Qishu suddenly changed his tone and said.
"Oh, really? The first round is just a warm-up, and the difficulty will increase next... Of course, it will also give you a little more time to find. So, are you ready for the second round of hide-and-seek?"
"Ready!"
With a click, the second photo was projected on the screen. Qishu was indeed not lying. The second round of hide-and-seek was indeed much more difficult than the first round.
The audience in the audience whispered, Qishu reminded from the side.
"The second round takes seven minutes, so please hurry up and answer!"
Xiaozhi looked at the second photo of the street in front of him. He saw that the lens of the second photo was zoomed out further than the first one. The photo contained more scenery. It was a photo of the Pokémon Center. At the same time, it also covered several surrounding houses, which made Xiaozhi dazzled.
As time passed bit by bit, Pikachu was anxious to remind Xiaozhi, but Xiaozhi's raised arm had already pointed the direction. Xiaoqing outside the court also discovered the answer and shouted.
"not good!"
All I saw was that the direction pointed out by Xiaozhi was at a building next to the Pokémon Center.
"The answer I gave is at the glass window of that building..."
As the accompanying music played.
"Is it here? Is it here? Let's take a look..."
"Dudu!"
I saw a big cross on the screen.
"Wrong answer, sorry..., then let's see the correct answer."
As the camera zoomed in, it finally stopped inside the Pokémon Center. The person inside was seen waving towards the camera. It turned out that this person was Clavel. If you didn't look carefully, you would have mistaken him for Joey. Miss.
"Best of three games, Xiaozhi has one last chance. Players Xiaozhi please take advantage of it."
Shortly after saying that, Clavell had found a hiding place again, but the difference was that Nishida gave up his original shooting method. I saw him releasing Dian Haiyan, using a special device to tie the camera to Dian Haiyan's body, and then gave the order.
"Dian Haiyan, take the camera and fly into the sky."
As the electric petrel flapped its wings and reached a certain height, it glided on the high-altitude air currents, trying to keep its body from rising and falling too much. The camera's post-set time was up, and several photos were captured in succession.
"The third round lasts for fifteen minutes, the timer starts!"
The screen also lit up again at Qishu's order, but this time the photo caused an uproar in the audience.
