Chapter 3229 The Battle Begins, Intelligence First

The competition was in full swing throughout the morning. Some projects from Little Red Horse Academy advanced to the next round, while others were eliminated at the very beginning.

Dudu, Shi Baobao, and Xiaobai are making rapid progress and seem to be gaining momentum.

Xiaomi, Xier, and others were eliminated in the first round of the projects they applied for.

Xiao Bai was very disappointed. If there were a competition based on luck, Xiwawa would definitely have advanced to the finals.

In the afternoon, the five-a-side football draw will begin to determine who each player's opponent will be, and the two players will compete against each other.

Teacher Liu went to draw lots on behalf of Little Red Horse. By the time Little White learned of the situation, it was too late for regrets.

"The draw is over. What's wrong, Xiaobai? Is there a problem with the draw?" Teacher Xiaoliu asked, somewhat puzzled. She had just finished drawing her own lot and was about to go find Xiaobai and the others to tell them the news when they rushed over in a hurry, asking her if she had drawn her own lot.

Xiao Bai said, "Sigh~~ If we had known, we would have sent Xiwa to draw lots. She's lucky and she can draw a good opponent for us."

Everyone nodded. Over the years, everyone had experienced Xi'er's incredible luck, and no one dared to question it. The baby Buddha hanging around her neck was right there, and anyone who dared to question it would be unlucky! Even the most unruly person had to behave himself when he saw her.

Ms. Xiaoliu was taken aback for a moment, then smiled wryly and said, "I forgot about this. I was the contact person assigned to our school, so they notified me. I didn't think much of it and came as soon as I received the notification. I should have waited and discussed it with you."

After all, she knew about Xi'er's luck and talent, and she had to admit it.

Hearing what Teacher Liu said, Xiao Bai quickly waved his hand: "It's nothing, it's nothing, it's a small matter. Actually, it doesn't matter who our opponent is, we'll just defeat them all! Competition first, friendship second. We're not here to make friends, and we can't afford to take any chances on the road to the championship."

Dudu said, "That's right. If we want to win the championship, we can't be afraid of this or that. It doesn't matter who comes. We have to bravely charge forward!"

Shi Baobao agreed: "Teacher Xiaoliu, don't overthink it. Our Little Red Horse isn't afraid of anyone!!"

Liu Liu said, "It would be even better if we could encounter weaker opponents along the way, so we could advance to the finals without much effort and save ourselves a lot of trouble."

Everyone turned to look at her immediately, because her statement stood out from the crowd.

Xiaomi asked Teacher Xiaoliu who her opponent was.

Ms. Liu picked up a small piece of paper, unfolded it, and showed it to everyone, saying, "It's from Jianan Elementary School."

Xiao Bai laughed and said, "Haha, Jianan Elementary School? No problem, don't be afraid, it's the same no matter who comes."

Dudu nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, it doesn't matter who comes. The students from Jianan Elementary School even want to run a 100-meter race with me, but we're not afraid."

Wang Xiaoyu followed, raising his fist and shouting, "Charge!!!"

Suddenly, some people who had just finished drawing lots passed by. I heard them talking about Chianan Elementary School and said with a hint of schadenfreude, "Chianan Elementary School was the champion last time, hahaha, you guys are so lucky."

Everyone: "..."

Robin, still not quite understanding the situation, raised his little fist and shouted, "Charge! Charge for the championship!"

Immediately, a hand covered her mouth from behind, and she couldn't say anything.

The air suddenly fell silent. Everyone looked at each other, feeling awkward. Teacher Liu, feeling guilty, said, "Look at my luck! I really shouldn't have gone to draw lots; I should have let Xi'er go! Sigh..."

Now no one was there to comfort her, because everyone was thinking the same thing—it was just a draw, only the first round! And she drew last year's champion! Could she win the lottery with that kind of luck?!

Xiaomi whispered a few words to Xiao Weiwei, who took the task seriously and ran out. She quickly returned with an even more serious expression and said, "I found out that the Jianan Elementary School soccer team is very strong. They have been practicing since the third grade and often participate in bigger competitions."

Xiao Bai asked, "What bigger competition?"

Qin Jianguo arrived and added, "They participate in the city's primary school football competition every year, and their best result is second place. They are a traditionally strong team and should not be underestimated."

These words silenced everyone.

Just when everyone's confidence was being shaken, Xiaobai broke the silence first: "What's there to be afraid of! We're not afraid of anyone! Friendship first, competition second! Even if we lose, we'll still gain something!"

Dudu nodded: "I'll run as far as I can and steal all their balls!"

Shi Baobao also said, "I'm fast, I won't let them catch up, and I'll score more goals!"

Xu Jun said, "I will guard the goal well and prevent them from scoring!"

Only Durant hadn't yet expressed his determination, so he quickly said, "I'm the toughest on the court. Anyone who dares to get past me, I'll tackle them. When I get tough, even I'm afraid of myself!"

Robin immediately and discreetly slipped a stick into his hand...

Liu Liu said, "Xiao Bai, didn't you just say that competition comes first and friendship second? You fickle child!"

Xiao Bai argued, "I'm just trying to lull our opponents into a false sense of security! I'm making them think we're here to treat them to a meal, and then we'll beat them on the court!!"

She then added, "You're the cheerleader. If anything happens on the court, you should be the first to rush up and help. Don't hide, understand?"

Liuliu said, "I'll stuff a wrench into my trouser leg."

Robin's eyes immediately darted around; he was already looking for a wrench.

Qin Jianguo quickly stopped everyone, saying that if they continued, the football match would turn into kung fu football, which sounded terrifying.

"We must respect our opponents mentally and go all out in action. Competition comes first, friendship second."

Liu Liu asked, "So, is it okay to fight to win?"

Qin Jianguo said definitively, "No!"

Liu Liu said, "Xiao Bai, listen, the coach said we can't fight! Even if we lose, we can't do anything reckless."

With Qin Jianguo guiding the discussion, everyone engaged in a lively debate and ultimately reached a consensus: we must take our opponents seriously and respect them, but we must remain relaxed and not be intimidated before the battle even begins. After all, the outcome is still uncertain until the competition is over.

After all, the ball is round, and anything is possible!

Qin Jianguo said, "This is the first time our Little Red Horse team has participated in a competition. To them, we are a mysterious force. Nobody knows anything about us or what we are good at. We can catch them off guard!"

Xu Jun said, "That's right! The coach is right! They don't understand us at all."

Xiao Bai's eyes lit up, and he said, "Knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory! Who are their main players? Who is the fastest runner? Is their goalkeeper good? If we don't know any of these things, we will definitely suffer if we play blindly!"

Liuliu said, "I'll go ask around."

Xiao Bai said, "You can't go, you'll be too conspicuous."

Liuliu was delighted and asked, "In what way am I outstanding?"

Xiao Bai said, "You're famous, everyone knows you."

Liu Liu was overjoyed, her heart filled with sweetness, but she said one thing and meant another: "It's not that big, haha~~ Then I won't go, let's give someone else a chance~"

Xiao Bai's gaze swept across the crowd, finally landing on Xiao Weiwei, who was holding a small notebook and diligently taking notes on everyone's conversation: "Xiao Weiwei!"

“Here!” Xiao Weiwei immediately straightened her back.

Xiao Bai said, "You were very timely in gathering information just now. Now I'm giving you a task: to find out information about the Jianan Elementary School soccer team. Write down any information you find! Can you complete this task?"

Xiao Weiwei's eyes lit up. This was exactly what she was doing, since it was her field of expertise.

She stood tall and straightened her back, her expression serious: "Xiao Bai, I promise to complete the mission!"

Xiao Bai was very satisfied with her attitude, patted her little shoulder and said, "You are the number one little reporter of Little Red Horse! Keep it up! If you do a good job, we'll wash all the socks for our football team."

Little Weiwei became even more excited; one of her dreams was to take on the job of cleaning Little Red Horse's socks.

Xiao Bai took out a big bag of gummy candies from her bag and handed it to Xiao Weiwei: "Take this and use it to get close to the kids from other schools. They'll definitely be willing to talk!"

Liu Liu's eyes lit up, and she said, "I'll go with Xiao Weiwei to protect her safety."

Xiao Bai refused: "You don't need to go, you're too dazzling. Let Xiao Songqin go."

Xiao Songqin happily accepted the task, giving Liuliu no chance whatsoever.

Liu Liu couldn't help but regret for a moment that she shouldn't have been so eye-catching!

After assigning tasks, Xiaobai cheered everyone on, shouting a slogan: "Let's charge forward like a little red horse—"

Everyone put their hands together, their spirits were high!
