Chapter 877: Higher, Faster, Stronger

The Tokyo Olympic directing team ultimately rejected the public's calls and decided not to add any more programs to the opening ceremony, which had already entered the final rehearsal stage.

At first, these people were very confident in the few programs they had arranged, feeling that they could completely deserve to be called an Olympic opening ceremony, and even had content that could rival the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

Then, when dissatisfied and critical voices came from the internet, these people felt that the previously arranged programs indeed had some small flaws, but they still had sufficient time to improve them, and there was no need to change the big plan.

Then, these directors already realized they had messed up, that they seemed to have produced a peerless rotten work, but it was already too late to modify it.

Finally, the directors bowed and apologized one after another, saying that we once had the opportunity to modify the opening ceremony programs, but unfortunately didn't grasp it; in short, we are really very sorry to everyone.

Currently, the opening ceremony directing team is in the third stage, and there is only one week left until the fourth stage.

Seeing this situation, the public was too lazy to scold them; just let it be, whatever, anyway, it wasn't just my face that was being lost.

Some are happy and some are sad; Miss Luo Quan here is happily preparing for the opening ceremony entrance rehearsal.

As a major sports country in the world, the Huaxia delegation has a total of 777 people, including 431 participating athletes, and the rest also include coaches, team leaders, and scientific personnel.

It's a pity that although Miss Luo Quan is standing in a very forward position this time, she is not the flag bearer leading everyone in.

If she performs well in this Olympics, there is hope of becoming the flag bearer at the closing ceremony.

Come to think of it, if it weren't for her being so famous, if she were given camera time, audiences all over the world would see such a face and think it was a naturalized athlete brought in from somewhere.

Currently, the country is taking such measures in some weak events.

It started with football; the domestic football population is insufficient, so they naturalize talent from abroad.

They did indeed naturalize some capable players, and it sounded not bad, but later I don't know why they weren't allowed to play, and then the national football team spent so much money, but the status quo didn't get any improvement.

However, the strength of naturalized athletes is obvious to all, so it extended to other sports.

Mainly winter sports.

The reason it's winter sports is because summer sports can be practiced as long as there is talent, and it's relatively easy to be discovered.

But winter sports almost all have to do with ice and snow; many people might not have played ice skating or skiing once in their lives, let alone become athletes?

Compared to that, the conditions of overseas Chinese are generally better, the cost of contacting these sports is lower, and it's easier to discover talent.

So currently, quite a few winter project athletes have been naturalized from abroad, and there is also a lot of publicity on various platforms.

With the Tokyo Olympics ending here, it won't be long before the Beijing Winter Olympics start warming up.

However, Miss Luo Quan sees those promotional videos and wonders if she and these people are of the same nature; why don't they have such treatment?

Looking at some cheesy comments on Weibo and Douyin, they are almost blowing them up as heroes, while she got on a hot search and her fans blew it up themselves, and then there was no follow-up.

This makes people very puzzled.

However, some things can't stand careful thought; people should be more carefree, and Miss Luo Quan is too lazy to haggle over these things.

This expedition sportswear is red and white, with exquisite patterns, taking into account both aesthetics and practicality, and it is also very comfortable to wear on the body.

It's just that wearing a jacket in the middle of summer is a bit hot, and when entering, it will be in an open-air stadium without air conditioning; I hope the jacket on the body can be absorbent enough.

After all, Tokyo's heat is famous; boys at home and abroad should have deep experience.

After finishing the entrance rehearsal, Miss Luo Quan had just returned to the hotel when she was called to the conference room by Qi Yuan again.

He said the secret realm would open before long, and the higher-ups had issued some equipment, so now they should take it back in advance to familiarize themselves with some usage methods.

Miss Luo Quan looked at the people in the conference room; they were basically all from the Martial Arts Management Bureau, and there wasn't a single folk force.

Mainly because Qi Yuan didn't completely trust those people, not knowing if there were any traitors inside, so he just assumed there were.

Compared to outsiders, he still trusted these subordinates in the bureau more.

And the equipment Qi Yuan issued wasn't the magical equipment Miss Luo Quan was looking forward to.

They were all things used for survival in extreme environments, such as paragliders, oxygen tanks, flashlights, and so on.

Of course, everyone also had a bottle of white capsules of unknown purpose.

"This capsule is made of special Chinese herbal medicine."

Qi Yuan held up a white capsule and said to everyone: "After taking this capsule, you will increase your martial strength by one to two levels in a short period of time; the higher the level, the lower the effect, and the shorter the duration.

Additionally, after the drug effect ends, you will fall into a state of weakness lasting several hours, so don't use it unless it's a crisis moment.

Each person only has ten capsules per bottle; please use them cautiously!"

Miss Luo Quan understood; isn't this thing the same meaning as that backup hidden energy?

However, the backup hidden energy is self-destruction, while this one is squeezing out one's own physical strength, belonging to a ruthless move of killing three thousand enemies and damaging two thousand of one's own.

And needing to use such drugs shows that the environmental situation in the secret realm is probably not as objective as everyone expected.

Either it's full of crises inside, or other countries' transcendent beings intend to grab and grab inside.

In any case, this is also near Huaxia's territory, and the best ancient artifacts must be brought back to the country.

Qi Yuan probably also wanted to let everyone have psychological preparation by issuing the medicine.

After issuing the medicine, everyone returned to their rooms.

Just after washing her face, the harsh sound of sirens rang out outside the window again; it was probably another violent attack incident somewhere.

During this period, violent attacks frequently occurred in Tokyo; many middle-aged gangsters brought steel pipes and baseball bats into shops in groups to smash, loot, and burn, quite having the posture of American zero-dollar shopping; I don't know if they thought Japan also started having the Black Lives Matter movement.

Police who received reports would rush to the scene in the first instance, but in most cases, they were one step slow, and these people escaped in advance.

Even if there were some caught, they were all small cats and two or three puppies.

These gangsters didn't know at all why they had to do these things, only knowing that the boss called them to go, so they went; it didn't have much effect on solving the case.

However, many people actually guessed who the mastermind behind the scenes was.

Up to now, facing the mountain of ironclad evidence, Mitsui Yuichi still refused to plead guilty, even proposing to commit seppuku in front of His Majesty to prove his innocence.

With that fierce look, anyone who didn't know better would think he was some loyal minister unjustly thrown into prison.

However, Mitsui Yuichi could be stubborn, but his conglomerate couldn't hold on anymore.

After a series of account checks, there were too many places of illegal crime; several elders of the Mitsui family and their children were almost all involved, and convicting one was equivalent to convicting a whole family.

Under such a terrible situation, there were always people who were desperate and took risks.

The violent smashing that happened one after another these past few days was likely instigated by people from the Mitsui family, because the ones being smashed were all industries under the Mitsubishi conglomerate.

And this should just be a warning.

Now it's just smashing; if they don't release Mitsui Yuichi and stop the investigation into the Mitsui conglomerate, then what will be smashed might not be people.

This kind of fish-dying-and-net-breaking approach really gave a group of police a headache, because they had to go out to police everywhere every night, and the work pressure was very high.

As for the Iwasaki family, anyway, they protected their family members well, and they couldn't be smashed.

The loss in the shop compared to the benefits obtained after finishing off the Mitsui family was simply not worth mentioning.

Therefore, although the security environment was already so bad, the investigation into the Mitsui family didn't have the slightest trend of restraining, and even at night, two more elders of the Mitsui family were invited to the police station to assist in the investigation.

If this continues, the possibility of the Mitsui family being wiped out has become infinitely large.

At this time, whether to be stubborn to the end or to break the wrist to soften, it depends on the decision of the few remaining elders of the Mitsui family.

If they drag it out for a few more days, they will probably completely lose the right to choose.

Of course, for those ordinary civilians and employees, the harassment suffered these days was completely an innocent disaster.

But this world is like this; gods fight, mortals suffer.

Now Tokyo residents have learned to be obedient; as long as they see those men with tattoos and weapons at night, they immediately hide far away and don't provoke them.

And those shop employees who were unfortunately visited by gangsters also hide if they can, and don't go up to stop these people's smashing behavior.

They are just working people, no need to risk their lives for the master's property; refer to those supermarket cashiers in American zero-dollar shopping.

For Tokyo residents, this year's Tokyo is really too restless.

It's because of the Olympics; from the beginning of the year to now, it hasn't stopped, and every once in a while, it's making trouble.

This grand event for all mankind didn't bring any benefits to the local residents, but instead made life restless.

Tourists came quite a few, but it didn't promote the local economy much; everyone's consumption desire was very low.

Some experts calculated that this Olympics is destined to lose everything.

Although in the past few decades, except for a few sessions, other countries hosting the Olympics were losing money.

But Tokyo lost particularly much this time.

And everyone originally hoped that it could be like the last Tokyo Olympics, making the Japanese economy take off and completely get rid of the lost thirty years.

But now it seems that this goal cannot be achieved.

It might not be reflected in a short time, but the subsequent pain will definitely make the public remember it fresh.

Of course, although so many unpleasant things happened, Tokyo finally welcomed the opening of the Olympics.

On the night of July 23, no rain, the world's attention.

As the grand event with the greatest influence on mankind, when the Olympics opened, no news could take away people's attention.

At this moment, the world focused on Tokyo.

The opening ceremony proceeded according to the process, first the speech by the President of the Organizing Committee, then the entrance of the host country's national flag...

The process of the first stage was not long, just over ten minutes.

The next second stage was the most eye-catching artistic performance.

Although the outside world generally believed that this artistic performance was going to be a big failure.

But before actually seeing it, who could make a final conclusion? Maybe there was some surprise?

Harboring such thoughts, the people of the world appreciated an opening ceremony artistic performance that had no highlights and was full of slots.

First was a lot of dance with unclear meaning; clearly the dancers' level was quite high, but the theme of the dance was too gloomy, leading to the atmosphere of the entire performance also being very low.

Originally a quite festive occasion, creating such a dance was truly a bit off-topic.

But compared to the group demons dancing that everyone predicted before, it was still much better; although it was still not very good, at least it was watchable.

And the ACG character parade that young netizens were looking forward to didn't appear.

Probably the Japanese didn't think these two-dimensional characters could represent their culture; letting these non-serious characters appear in such a serious place as the Olympics was really losing face.

But young people from all over the world who like two-dimensional culture were indeed quite disappointed.

Imagine if characters from new and old well-known anime like Doraemon, EVA, Pikachu, Astro Boy, Dragon Ball, Naruto, One Piece, Demon Slayer, etc., appeared in the stadium, how lively that scene would be.

These riches created by manga artists over the past few decades couldn't be used at all, which was really regrettable.

Some people with more agitated emotions directly started scolding in the barrage: the world's number one two-dimensional country, and not a single two-dimensional related one.

World-renowned musicians, directors, writers, their works were also not reflected at all.

Originally a good hand of four twos with a king bomb, but it was played into this rotten look; the directing team should just all commit seppuku to apologize.

Of course, these words might be a bit extreme, but the situation was indeed like this.

Japan originally had a lot of material to host this opening ceremony well, but unfortunately, they abandoned all the correct answers.

Of course, this opening ceremony artistic performance wasn't without highlights.

It's just that the Super Change Change Change in the final part was quite good.

This is also a national-level variety show in Japan, with a history of more than twenty years; through the bodies of several performers to assemble into various things, it can be said to be a show with wide-open brains.

And this time they took the icons of Olympic events as the theme, letting the performers assemble with their bodies.

The overall look was still very creative and had program effects, but unfortunately, there were still mistakes during the performance; one or two icons were not assembled because they were too complex.

And maybe the time was too rushed, leading to looking a bit flustered.

But compared to other programs of the opening ceremony, this Super Change Change Change was much more interesting.

If there were no accidents, this segment would be the one with the highest praise rate in the opening ceremony.

After the performance finally ended, athletes from various countries also started the entrance ceremony. ===== CHAPTER 878 =====
