Plug-in Players In Marvel

Making an excuse like "I played in the water too late last night, I caught a slight cold and felt uncomfortable", Stark did not attend the pre-game press conference held the next day.

Because of his absence, the enthusiasm of reporters has been reduced a lot, especially those media outlets that have never reported sports events and are here specifically for Stark alone. They even gave up asking questions and pretended to be fake at the press conference. Blockhead.

Of course, the popularity of the press conference was also affected and did not reach the expected height.

The event organizers were really depressed about this result.

It is worth mentioning that other riders who attended the press conference were not in a happy mood. For example, three-time champion Burns was very annoyed - this is a competition site, isn't everything based on results? Obviously I am the champion, and I have won the overlord championship for three consecutive years. Why am I not as popular as you, an inexperienced novice?

Whether they were envious or jealous, in short, the drivers were more or less dissatisfied because the attention was taken away from Stark who was not present.

A few of them have even put Stark on the enemy's side, secretly deciding in their hearts that if Stark encounters difficulties during the game and needs help, and he happens to meet him, he will never do it. Help' idea.

In this way, another day passed in the midst of chaos.

March 3rd, D-Day.

The first game day finally arrived.

Although there was light rain in the sky, countless people gathered near the starting point.

Some people came early in the morning, and some were particularly enthusiastic. They came here the night before, lined up in tents, and waited all night.

On the temporary stands, in the open spaces separated by yellow tapes, on the street lights and big trees beside the road, on the hillsides and buildings in the distance, you can see people everywhere.

Under the gray sky with drizzle, the open umbrellas are like mushrooms growing under the rain curtain, colorful and countless.

With much anticipation, time passed by minute by second, and at around 9 a.m., the starting ceremony finally officially began.

As usual, the riders of the motorcycle group are the first to set off. The car group that Stark participated in was ranked second, and the largest truck group was ranked at the back.

Some only participate in motorcycle competitions, and some only participate in automobile competitions. There are only a few teams that participate in all competitions. Without exception, they are either directly affiliated to a well-known automobile brand. , either with technical and financial support from well-known car manufacturers.

In contrast, the vast majority of fleets come from the private sector - precisely because they come from the private sector and are subject to various restrictions in terms of funds, technology, and personnel, their strength is relatively weak and they cannot cover everything, so they must not He did not give up the idea of ​​a full-scale attack and only participated in one or two of the events.

Interestingly, at the starting ceremony, it was the drivers from the private sector who received the louder cheers.

It doesn't make sense when you think about it.

After all, the Dakar Rally is different from other competitions - the race lasts for more than ten days and passes through many special road sections. There are no strict restrictions on the travel route, leaving players with room to make their own choices. These two points are the most unique aspects of the Dakar Rally.

Therefore, it does not mean that players with better skills and better logistical support from the team will definitely be able to obtain better rankings. In this game, perseverance and luck will also play a vital role.

No one doesn't like to watch the drama of "the weak counterattack", and the Dakar Rally, which focuses on perseverance and luck, is exactly a stage where such drama may be staged.

Rather than letting the players from the big-name teams win the championship, the spectators who are not afraid of big things clearly prefer to see the players from the small teams go against the wind and overtake the seeded players as dark horses to win the championship. Ranking, I hope to see more ups and downs of the plot and more dramatic results.

Of course, what I’m talking about here is the ‘pure’ melon-eating masses.

People like Shi Xiaolei have a close relationship with the contestants. It is said that the audience is actually equivalent to a group of relatives and friends. Their mentality and thoughts are definitely different from ordinary spectators.

"Xiao Lei, Xiao Lei, when will Tony appear?" Kangna asked dully, holding Shi Xiaolei's head.

Although Tostak came to the VIP area where the crowd was not so crowded, because the little girl was too short, she could not see the situation in the middle of the venue through the crowd. As a last resort, Shi Xiaolei had to pretend to be a big horse. , letting her ride on his shoulders.

"There's still a while." Sensing the little girl's restlessness, Shi Xiaolei quickly held her calf: "Kanna, don't move around, be careful of falling."

"Oh~." In response, Kangna sighed boredly: "Oh, it's so hard to wait."

"There should only be half an hour left." 2B, who was standing aside, also heard the little girl's complaint.

"Really?" Looking down at 2B, Kangna suddenly laughed again: "Giggle, Sylvia, you are so short~"

Shi Xiaolei's height was over two meters, and counting the little girl's upper body... Measured from the ground up, Kangna's angle of view was almost as high as two and a half meters. From this height, looking at 2B, who is only over 1.6 meters tall, doesn’t he look ‘short’?

"Pfft~."

2B had a black line on his forehead due to Kangna's words, but Bayonetta and Pepper couldn't help but laugh.

While he was talking, Happy came over from nowhere.

"It's almost boss' turn." While reporting to Pepper, Happy raised his right hand and handed a sweet cone to the little girl riding on Shi Xiaolei's neck: "I just confirmed with the staff, there are seven more in front of me. If the players are grouped together at an average speed of four to five minutes, it will take up to half an hour before the boss comes on stage."

"Thank you, Happy." Nodding, Pepper took 2B's arm: "Sylvia, your guess is really accurate."

He wanted to say, 'I didn't just guess, but I calculated it with reason,' but felt it was unnecessary. 2B nodded lightly: "Yes."

Half an hour, not too long, not too short... Well, mainly because the little girl's attention was distracted by the cone and she didn't complain any more, Shi Xiaolei's mood also relaxed.

Otherwise, this half hour may not be so easy to pass.

finally.

"Coming, coming~."

As another car left the starting grid, a low buzz gradually rose from the audience. In the reporter's interview area, the number of shutter flashes suddenly became more frequent.

"Next is the 26th competitor in the car category of this event. Although he has never won a championship or even participated in a competition, he is one of the most watched players in this event, haha, Well, it seems you have guessed who he is. Yes, he is our great inventor, come, let us welcome Anthony~~Edward~~~Stark~~!"
