The resentment and frustration that had been suppressed for decades were finally vented in this moment.
This will definitely make tennis fans in Shanghai feel secretly happy.
Many people even wondered why the match between Zhou Ran and Zhang Yi was so short.
If the game continues, Zhou Ran will continue to torture Zhang Yi even more miserably, which is what they want to see more.
They wanted Zhou Ran to torture Zhang Yi as much as possible. Only in this way could they release the frustration they felt towards the imperial capital more thoroughly.
But even these netizens in Shanghai were very happy about Zhou Ran defeating Zhang Yi.
I was just secretly happy.
I feel secretly happy in my heart.
No one is willing to speak out.
They don't want to slap themselves in the face.
But no matter what, after Zhou Ran successfully defeated Zhang Yi, netizens' attitude towards Zhou Ran was not made public.
But it is true that some changes have begun to take place secretly.
Chapter 100 The lone brave villain!
Zhou Ran did not notice the subtle changes in the atmosphere of public opinion on the Internet, nor did he want to care about it.
Right now, all his attention is on the upcoming national competition.
Although his process of advancing to the national competition was easy, he crushed his opponents in almost every game.
But he has experienced a lot in the past period of time.
Along the way, his own mentality has also changed a lot.
So he has worked hard to get to this point.
There are a total of 256 contestants in the national competition, which will be held over eight rounds.
The total time before and after the competition is only about 15 days.
If all goes well, he will lift the championship trophy of the High School Tennis League National Championship in half a month.
Zhou Ran must be looking forward to this.
But he knew that it would be much more difficult to win the championship trophy than before.
After all, the players who can enter the main competition are at least the top four in their respective cities.
After three rounds of preliminaries, a large number of players with lower levels were eliminated.
The opponents he will face next will definitely be the best among the top four players.
After thinking about this, he became more serious about the next game.
According to the competition schedule, Zhou Ran's first round of the national competition will be in about 1 days.
The location of the competition is not in the Magic City where he is now, but in the Imperial City.
863 According to the competition rules, the next national competition will be held in the city where the previous champion is from.
It’s just that because the championship has always been won by the imperial capital, the main competition is held in the imperial capital every year.
In the few days before the start of the main competition, Zhou Ran first took a brief rest and then arrived in the imperial capital in advance.
Whether before or after the time travel, he had never been to the imperial capital in either world.
In order to familiarize himself with the environment, he made the move in advance.
Because he had never been to the imperial capital in his previous life, when he came to the imperial capital of this world, he had no way of noticing the difference between the imperial capitals of the two worlds.
But he didn't care about it. Whether he had been there or not, he could just treat it as a brand new city.
After arriving in the imperial capital, there were still two days before the main competition began.
Zhou Ran originally wanted to spend some time every day practicing basketball and spend the rest of the time strolling around.
There's more to his life than just tennis; he wants to relax.
But soon he received a call.
After the person on the other end of the phone was introduced, Zhou Ran knew that he was an official staff member of the national competition.
The staff member told him something that surprised him very much.
The staff told Zhou Ran that they wanted him to participate in a program called Lone Brave.
Every year in the National High School Tennis League, a special situation occurs.
That is, although the four representatives from each city are all from one city.
Logically speaking, the relationship should be better.
Everyone is competing for honor for their respective cities.
But as long as one is human, there will be contradictions.
Not every player has a good relationship with other players from the same city.
Not every contestant wants to represent his or her city in the competition.
I don’t have a good relationship with several other people, probably because there are conflicts when I get along with them.
For those athletes who do not want to represent their city, it may be that they are treated unfairly by official staff of their city.
In the past, many players would choose to give up or even withdraw from the competition in this situation.
This seriously affected the viewing experience of the game.
In order to solve this problem, the officials organizing the national competition thought of the Lone Hero Plan that they had told Zhou Ran about.
If you decide to join the Lone Warrior Program, you will become a lone warrior, as the name suggests.
The official will give special consideration in the schedule arrangement.
The opponents in the first few rounds will be the strongest players outside the Lone Warrior City.
If the lone hero can defeat the strongest players in the first few rounds, he will face other players from his own city in the next few rounds.
In this way, if the lone hero wins the championship, then those he has defeated along the way will be the strongest players in this national competition and several other players from this city.
While the schedule is extremely difficult, it will also prove to the outside world that it is wrong for him to be excluded by fellow players and city officials.
Once confirmed to participate in the plan and become a lone warrior, the contestant will not belong to any city.
Fight only for yourself!
The honors received will not be counted towards the city represented and will be purely personal honors.
In this way, a lone brave man can completely prove himself.
Of course, the official did this not for the sake of the lone hero (aecc), but entirely for the viewing experience and popularity of the game.
Imagine if there is a person who is not liked by the players in the same city and is always looked down upon by the officials of the city.
But being able to defeat a group of strong players and beat players from the same city to win the championship would seem like a very exciting thing to outsiders.
However, the Lone Warrior Plan has been implemented for five or six years, but no one has been able to successfully win the final championship.
Because of this, not many people have been willing to participate in this program in the past two years.
But for the officials organizing this year's national competition, they believe that Zhou Ran is definitely the best candidate for the lone hero.
After all, Zhou Ran was not only ostracized by fellow players in the same city and ignored by the Shanghai officials, but even netizens disliked Zhou Ran.
Therefore, the official believes that Zhou Ran has no reason not to become a lone hero.
As soon as the regional competition ended, they couldn't wait to contact Zhou Ran.
After listening to the official introduction and purpose, Zhou Ran was surprised, but also thought of something.
The lone hero turned out to be the villain!
interesting!
He had never heard of this Lone Warrior Project before, and he was very interested in participating.
Both the audience in Lincheng City and the netizens in Modu City had previously been making a big fuss on the Internet, wanting to cut ties with him.
Now, he has completely cut ties with them as they wished.
Another reason why he wanted to participate in this program was to compete with the strong.
According to officials, after joining this program, he will face the strongest players of this national competition in the first few rounds.
There is no doubt that these players are naturally the four players from the imperial capital.
After that, he will face three other players from Magic City.
There are eight rounds in the main competition. His opponents in the first seven rounds are all players from the Imperial Capital and the Magic City, the two cities with the highest level of tennis in Dragon Country.
Every game will definitely give him an excellent gaming experience.
"Okay, I agree to participate in this plan!"
After a quick thought and without hesitation, Zhou Ran expressed his agreement to the staff on the other end of the phone.
"Okay! Okay! Contestant Zhou Ran, since you've agreed, we will make adjustments to your competition schedule!"
"Also, do you mind if we announce your participation in the Lone Hero Project to the outside world?"
Hearing that Zhou Ran actually agreed, the official staff became excited.
After all, the more popular the game is, the more commission they will receive in terms of salary after the game.
If a contestant like Zhou Ran, who is hotly discussed across the Internet, can participate in this program, the popularity of this year's competition will definitely be very high.
But they still had to follow the procedure and ask Zhou Ran if he minded the official using this as a gimmick to promote the upcoming national competition.
"do not mind!"
"But please don't fabricate or distort the facts at will. Report the facts truthfully!"
Although Zhou Ran didn't mind the official reports of his participation in the Lone Hero Project.
But he knows the ins and outs of studying journalism.
If he didn't make a statement in advance, he was worried that the officials would exaggerate and say that he was unhappy with several fellow players from Shanghai and looked down on the players from Beijing, so he joined the Lone Hero Plan.
Even if he really has these thoughts, but he doesn't say them out loud, they can't be reported.
"Contestant Zhou Ran, don't worry. We are a legitimate organization and disdain to use those crooked methods. We will report the truth!"
Afterwards, the staff member hung up the phone and began excitedly planning the next steps regarding Zhou Ran's participation in the Lone Hero Project.
Chapter 101 Traitor? Who of you ever considered him your own?
The efficiency of the official work of the national competition was very high. Just a few hours after Zhou Ran agreed to participate in the Lone Hero Plan, the news of his participation in the plan quickly became a hot search, and it was among the top hot searches.
When Zhou Ran saw the hot search, he quickly understood some things.
He had previously wondered whether the news on trending searches was simply due to its own popularity, or whether there was some manipulation behind the scenes.
Now he can be sure, he can't guarantee all of them, but there are definitely some hot searches, ~ there are people behind the scenes pushing them.
After all, if it was just based on the popularity of the news, his participation in the Lone Hero Project would definitely not have been able to top the trending searches in just one or two hours.
Simply click on the hot search and you will find that, just as the staff member said, the news content does not contain any distorted reports. It simply announces to the outside world that he has confirmed to participate in this plan.
Then there are some relevant rules about this plan.
Feeling that there was no problem, Zhou Ran turned off his phone and found a nearby closed tennis court to practice a little.
However, Zhou Ran did not pay too much attention to this matter. However, netizens who saw this hot search were excited and began to comment under the news.
"The Lone Hero Project, what is this? Why haven't I heard of it before?"
"You're a new audience, right? This plan has been around for a long time!"
"It's just that no one has participated in the past few years. Although I knew about this plan a long time ago, it took me a while to think of it. I didn't expect that someone would participate now!"
"Hahaha, Zhou Ran is preparing to single-handedly fight back against all the criticism he's received from netizens. I'm just a casual fan, but I'm in for a treat!"
"He's worthy of being the most disgusting tennis player ever. The fact that he would participate in such a plan is even more disgusting!"
