Chapter 41: Starry Sky Olive Ball Match
(0041)
Xiao Tingxuan is a triple threat in film, television and music, almost all-around talented. In recent years, she has been the leading actress and director of several box office hits. Most of the time, she prefers to be called a talented woman rather than a beauty. In fact, her educational background is also impressively high.
However, her university major was quite unusual, called Mechanized Joint Rotation Engineering. This is a specialized course that studies the high-speed rotation system of mecha joints. Generally speaking, students who choose this course are all defense students cultivated by the federal military, and I don't know how she got in and out. It can only be said to be magical.
Lin Yishi is mainly active in the modeling circle, and also provides psychological counseling to big shots from time to time. She occasionally performs for the troops. Her major is psychology, and her minor is also very interesting, called aircraft dynamics. This is also a major opened by the Federal Army for national defense students, and she has also gotten into it. All that can be said is that these women are all amazing people.
The selection of the Starry Sky Supreme Beauty List is basically done once every ten years. The number of people selected each time is between ten to fifteen. Because the number of people selected is small, even if each person's lifespan is very long, the cumulative number of people on the Starry Sky Supreme Beauty List will not be many. Throughout the entire starry sky world, there are probably only a few dozen people who are truly familiar to everyone.
Of course, this is absolutely not to say that those who are selected must be better than those who are not. No matter what kind of selection it is, it is impossible to achieve true fairness, justice and openness, and backroom deals are inevitable. Those beauties with a background, a story, or connections will always get the judges' favor and have a higher chance of getting on the list.
Besides, beauty is often in the eye of the beholder. As the saying goes, "each to their own taste", everyone's perspective is different and can't be exactly the same. You might think someone is very beautiful, but I don't necessarily agree. And the beauties that I like, you may not necessarily like either. Therefore, not everyone likes all the beauties on the Starry Sky Absolute Beauty List, including Xia Xingxiao.
If national and ethnic factors are involved in the selection process, it becomes even more complicated. Without accidents, who would not want to choose a representative of their own country? Therefore, countries with large population bases always have an advantage. Like the Aurora Empire, which has a population dozens of times that of the Starlight Federation, the number of beauties selected for the Cosmic Beauty Chart is also the largest.
However, relatively speaking, the selection of the Starlight Awards is still fair. After all, there are many media representatives participating in the selection, and even if there are hidden rules, it's impossible to use them on so many judges. Moreover, what plays a decisive role is still public voting. To be precise, it's a group of bored and lustful men who vote. Therefore, true talent and material are the most important. If selected, it's a qualitative leap for every woman.
Of course, there are also many beauties who do not want their names to appear on the Starry Sky Absolute Beauty Rankings. Many real beauties actually hope that they can keep a low profile and live ordinary lives. However, either they are too outstanding, or the degree of attention they receive is too high, or the expectations placed upon them are too great, making it impossible for them to avoid it even if they want to.
For example, the two best female warship commanders of the Chaohui Empire, Sun Tonglei and Ban Luyu, were sent to the Starry Sky Absolute Beauty List with a unanimous vote by all the judges because of their outstanding appearance, rich knowledge, and dazzling achievements. As for themselves, it is estimated that they do not want their names to be known by everyone in the starry sky world.
In Xia Xingxiao's impression, there were also several women who passed with a unanimous vote, including Xi Tianyu of the Xuantian Empire, Wang Keran and Diao Xiaoxiao of the Chaohui Empire, and Yang Hansu of the Youyang Empire. At some point in time, they were collectively referred to as the Four Great Beauties of the Starry Sky World. In addition, several empresses or princesses also received a high number of votes and were highly sought after.
Of course, these beauties are still far away from Xia Xingxiao. Let alone other countries, even the three great beauties of the Starlight Federation, I'm afraid that even if Xia Xingxiao stood in front of them, they might not even give her a glance. Without a certain status and position, you can't even catch their attention. The reason why the Rose Star's federal army was lucky enough to see Lin Yinpian three times is all because of Song Weiting's behind-the-scenes manipulation.
"What did you say?"
"What did I say? I said you can't afford to lose!"
"Your Buddha has already been trampled under the feet of our Blazing War God!"
At this time, for some reason, a quarrel seemed to have broken out on the other side, and all the news about Lin Yin's poetry was covered up. Most people's eyes were attracted to that side. Xia Xing felt uncomfortable in her heart, turned her head to look at the quarreling side, and found that a large crowd had already gathered there, and more people were flying over from nearby asteroids to join in the excitement.
When soldiers are bored, they tend to gather and make a scene. With something new happening, ordinary people wouldn't let it go, let alone in a bar where all sorts of people gather. The two men arguing were both wearing the rank of first-class soldier. They were the type of person with a handsome face, tall and slender build, and an air of confidence, with a pretty good appearance that girls would like. By their side were also first or second-class soldiers.
The management of the Miao Luo military base is quite strict. The name of the head of the Military Law Department, Xū Zhīlěi, can basically stop children from crying at night. However, these are all for new recruits. As long as they practice to become a second-class soldier or above, the management will be much looser. Because everyone has different paths to practice, it is impossible to continue eating together in a big pot. At this time, various small groups begin to spread out. In short, it's the beginning of openly forming cliques.
The federal troops do not oppose the emergence of various small groups. On the contrary, they encourage everyone to actively participate in all kinds of small groups. To be honest, shouting slogans in the military camp is very repulsive. After several epochs of human reproduction, there are no longer any illiterates. Even those with the worst cultural knowledge are many times stronger than doctoral students in ancient Earth era, and it is almost impossible to implement a policy of keeping people ignorant.
One of the important ways to maintain a military's combat effectiveness is through brotherly love. At certain times, grand principles are almost useless, while brotherly love can determine someone's decision to stay or leave, and even life or death. By extension, in a powerful unit, the brotherly love among members must be extremely strong. They will not abandon each other, and their lives depend on each other.
In the past Star Wars, the most dazzling performances of the federal troops were all brotherly love. Among various small groups and among members, friendship and mutual assistance formed the main force of the army. An outstanding commander, if he always neglects his subordinates, will be shot dead by a black gun in three days at most.
"Li Yuzi, you lost is just lost, what excuse are you looking for?"
"Yan Baoqing, what are you so proud of? If it weren't for us being one man short, we would have lost to you?"
"Cut it out, an excuse is just an excuse!"
"Wait till I find a substitute, and we'll have another match!"
Xia Xing quietly listened for a while and soon understood what was going on.
It turned out that Li Yuzi and Yan Baoqing had a fierce quarrel over the result of the Starry Sky Football Match. I don't know how they ended up here, but maybe this bar is their headquarters.
The Starry Sky Rugby, in fact, has nothing to do with the ancient Earth's rugby. This game basically exists for battle. More accurately, it is specially held to train new recruits' coordination on the battlefield, and it is essentially a rehearsal for combat. Of course, apart from new recruits, others also like it. In the Starry Sky world, rugby is almost the most popular sport, forever filled with masculinity and forever filled with controversy.
Unlike the ancient Earth era, the venue for Starry Sky Football is in the vast starry sky. The venue of the competition has no restrictions. The rules of the competition are basically that there are no rules. The two sides of the competition can proceed as long as the number of people is equal. Even if both parties agree, they can proceed even if the number of people is not equal.
Both sides of the game have several glass-made olives floating behind their respective teams. The winning standard is to smash all the opponent's olives. If one side's olives are completely smashed, the game is over. The side whose olives are completely smashed is naturally the loser. On the other hand, it is the winner.
Both sides of the game can take all means to smash each other's rugby, and both can take all means to protect their own rugby. This "all means" is very revealing. It even implies killing by mistake. Therefore, this is a very violent sport. If you don't have enough strength or courage, it's best not to participate. Otherwise, it's easy to cause irreparable harm to your body.
The scene of the starry sky American football game is absolutely the most exciting. During the game, there are often cases where someone is injured and carried off the field. The participating teams also prepare enough substitute players to replace the injured personnel on the field. In the most intense American football games, it's even possible to replace several batches of players. Substitutions have no quota limit.
Due to the basic rules, Starcraft has never had a draw. If both sides still have balls that haven't been broken, the game will definitely continue until one side's balls are all broken or one side concedes. It's not surprising if both sides are evenly matched and play for three days and three nights.
As for the specific number of rugby balls, both parties can negotiate and decide. At least five, at most ten. Of course, if both parties are willing to play a marathon-style match, stipulating one hundred rugby balls is also possible. But I suppose no one would be that bored.
