Chapter 17 - group basis
Three days before the exhibition, members of several foreign clubs arrived in Lanzhou City one after another, and the representatives of the local associations were responsible for the reception arrangements.
There are a total of 7 judges in this exhibition, from 4 different countries. Before the exhibition, they will first select the ornamental species above the middle grade from the flower and bird market, and put them in the large exhibition hall to facilitate other players to appreciate and vote. Finally, they will select the top ten species to vote for them The lucky player who passed the ticket.
Michelle is one of the judges of this exhibition, and he is also a well-known expert on insect fish. He was not interested in this little-known Lanzhou City, but he has been very famous for K for a long time, so he decided to come here. Look, but when he came, he was very disappointed.
Lanzhou City is smaller than he expected, and the variety and average quality of flowers, birds, insects and fish are also unsatisfactory. He and several other judges spent the morning finding only forty species that were eligible to be included in the large exhibition hall, and some of them took advantage of rare species, not of particularly good quality.
Michelle felt very boring and just wanted to meet K and return home as soon as possible.
According to the address left by K, Michelle left the referee panel and went to the Laoyu repair shop alone. He didn’t quite understand the store name “Old Fish Maintenance”, but regarded it as an interesting name for the aquarium store in country Z.
The old fish repair shop is located at the end of the flower and bird fish market, near the edge area, which is very inconspicuous. It took Michelle a lot of trouble to find the place.
Walking into the store door, a cool breath rushed towards her face, dispelling the heat from her body, Michelle felt refreshed for a while, and her depressed mood also eased a lot.
Looking around for a week, ignoring the counter filled with all kinds of electronic products, the ornamental fish in the store seemed to be pretty good.
Huh? Is that three rockets (butterfly fish)? This kind of fish is quite a test of the player’s breeding level. Feeding is only the first step, raising it well is the second step, and raising beauty is the highest level. The appearance of these three rockets clearly meets the standard of “beauty” and can be rated as middle and upper.
Um? The pearl sail hangs upside down? The body is really big enough, usually the food must be very good, and the gorgeous patterns are shining, really domineering.
Ghost King (juvenile perch family)? The color is too beautiful, how did it grow?
Haha, these twelve dog-headed fish are a bit interesting, and they look really good.
Oh, MyGod! Mouse Spots (Osperidae)! This posture, this luster, top grade!
…
After dozens of minutes, Michelle straightened her aching waist and finally noticed the figure standing behind the counter.
“Hello, is this K’s store?” Michelle asked in E language.
“Yes, you are?” Hearing “K”, Yuyou immediately knew that this person must be a member of the group.
“My name is Michelle, ‘Catchme’.”
Yuyou smiled and said, “Nice to meet you, Catchme, I’m ‘K’.”
Michelle looked surprised: “What? You are K?” He always thought that K was a man!
“If you’re talking about K in the YY group.”
“It’s incredible that K, who can be called an encyclopedia, is such a young girl!” Michelle looked around and sighed, “I don’t think I have any doubts when I see your fish.”
Although he said that, he was a little disappointed in his heart. In his imagination, the god-level K should have more high-quality ornamental fish. These are really good in front of him, but there is still a long way to go with his expectations, and at most they can only be regarded as intermediate players.
After cleaning up, Michelle added: “I am one of the judges of the exhibition, and I am in charge of selecting ornamental fish above the middle grade. The quality of the fish in your store is very high. According to the preliminary calculation, about ten will be selected.”
Yuyou smiled and said, “No need, these fish are not participating in the election.”
“Why?” Michelle looked stunned. The average quality of the ornamental fish in the K store can beat the entire flower, bird and fish market! As a result, she didn’t run for the election? !
“All the fish participating in the election have been sent to the large exhibition hall.” As one of the persons in charge of the exhibition, Yuyou is qualified to independently recommend the fish species for the election. He does not need to go through a judge, but only needs to participate in the final evaluation.
Michelle’s eyes widened: “You mean, these fish are all leftovers now???”
“You can understand it that way.”
“OhGod! I’ll go check it out now.” The quality of the remaining fish was so good! What are the grades of the selected fish? Michelle couldn’t wait, her little heart was pounding with excitement, she turned around and ran away without saying hello.
Passing through the street like a gust of wind, it happened to collide with the other members of the jury.
“Hey, Michelle, where are you going in a hurry?” a tall, thin blond yelled.
“Go to the big exhibition hall.” The answer came from dozens of meters away.
Everyone looked at each other in dismay, and then followed them towards the large exhibition hall.
The large exhibition hall is located in the square in the middle of the market. It is a temporary exhibition tent with four entrances from east, west, north and south. .
Michelle walked straight into the ornamental fish area, which currently only has ten aquariums, and most of the selected ornamental fish have not been sent in.
Michelle easily locked the target, five aquariums in front of the right.
“OhOhOh, the double-print butterfly, the black-backed butterfly, the four-eyed butterfly, and the golden butterfly!” The first thing Michele noticed was the butterfly fish. The four butterfly fish were all top-quality, swimming leisurely in the same fish tank.
“Kirin Immortal, Colorful Immortal, Emperor Immortal, Tiger Skin Swallowtail Immortal…”
“Colorful fox, one point fox, yellow spotted fox, candy fox…”
Yuyou selected a total of five kinds of ornamental fish, four immortals, four butterflies, four tigers, four lions, and four foxes, each of which has a top-quality fish. But the level difference is not big, need careful appreciation.
Michelle was completely shocked. These dozens of fish, no matter in body, color or spirit, showed very high quality and reached the best standard.
But how is it possible? In the World Ornamental Fish Championships a few years ago, only 28 of the best were exhibited. In a small Lanzhou City, 20 appeared at once? ? ? And there are many rare varieties, such as Qilinxian.
At the beginning, a mint fairy was worth nearly 40W US dollars, and this unicorn fairy must not be too much.
“Michelle, why are you in a daze?” A big hand clapped on Michelle’s shoulder, and the petrified him didn’t respond to it.
While wondering, the visitor looked up at the aquarium, and then he was stunned.
“Gosh! What the **** is this?!”
“What’s the matter?” The others approached one after another, and then froze together.
The so-called layman is watching the fun, and the expert is watching the doorway. The grade of ornamental fish is difficult for ordinary players to identify. At most, they think this fish is more beautiful and that fish is more energetic. Only a true expert can discern the qualities of a good fish, just like connoisseurs of jewelry and antiques.
But these fishes raised by Yuyou are different. Even ordinary people can easily see their excellence. For example, the golden butterfly has a golden body and is blue at the moment.
Look at the fish in other aquariums, and then look at these fish, and the contrast is even more obvious.
“It turns out that they have already sent all the best products here, no wonder we didn’t find a few in the morning!” A referee muttered dissatisfiedly.
“Don’t tell these are all superb!” Another referee looked in disbelief.
“I think at least two-thirds are.”
“Two-thirds also have 12 or 3!”
“My God! I can’t believe my eyes.”
…
A moment ago, they were still running around in search of middle and top grades, but at this moment, they have to rack their brains to identify the number of top grades.
20 “best products” are placed together, and the eyes are not enough.
“Everyone, the appraisal of the best products takes time. Don’t be in a hurry. Let’s go to dinner with me first.” The referee from Country Z interrupted everyone’s discussion with a complacent voice.
Just now, he accompanied these foreign referees to visit various shops, and heard a lot of their low evaluation of local ornamental species.
Who said that the quality of ornamental species in Lanzhou City is low? Our excellence you know nothing about!
Everyone turned a deaf ear to the words of the judge of country Z, admiring the gestures of these fishes.
“Huh? These fish are all from the same aquarium? Hmm…Oldfishmaintenance? What’s the name of the store?”
“Who is the owner? I want to visit.”
Michelle interjected at this time: “You should all know this person?”
“Oh? Who?”
“K.”
“It turned out to be him! I should have thought of it earlier.”
“As expected of a great god, amazing.”
“Where did he get so many superb products?”
“It’s not that he raised it himself, is it?”
Michelle said: “She should have raised it herself. I just came from her shop, and she still has a lot of high-quality good fish.”
“‘She’? Girl?”
“Is K a woman? Let’s go and see!”
…
A group of people suddenly became curious and walked out.
The accompanying referee from Country Z was at a loss. Who is K? Yuyou? These foreigners seem to know her?
When everyone went to the old fish repair shop, Yu You was about to eat when he heard a burst of voices, turned his head to look at the door, and saw more than a dozen foreigners file in, suddenly crowding the small shop.
Yuyou: “…”
“Are you K? Good luck to meet you, I’m Bob.”
“Hi, I’m Priestley.”
“Saurus, nice to meet you.”
“Will, we finally meet.”
Yuyou held chopsticks in his hand, biting lotus root slices in his mouth, and shook hands with them one by one with a cute face, and a group of noodles came unexpectedly.
“Hello.” Yuyou paused for a while, then answered, “Have you eaten?”
“I haven’t eaten yet.” Everyone replied with a smile.
“If you don’t dislike it…” Yuyou looked at the two dishes and one soup on his table, and then looked at the crowded heads, and said, “I’ll invite you to a restaurant for dinner.”
“Amazing~~”
“is my pleasure.”
“I want to eat ‘Shi’ Chuan Hot Pot!”
The referee of country Z is indifferent.jpg: You just invited you to eat, but you don’t want to eat, but she invited everyone to be positive. Can the differential treatment be bigger? !
