Chapter 19 The Hand of God

I would like to say before writing, of course, it is related to the content of the novel. Friends who know Soul know that there are basically no mess in the book. The time of the future competition in Kenya this time is a bit different from the novel. It is okay to say that the plot needs it. The real competition is July 1st, and if the qualifying competition is added, it will take June. In order to meet the students' "activity date" and add some exotic styles, Soul still chose this game as the start. I hope everyone likes it.

The following text

***************************

The next morning, Fan Ju got up early. Black Africa seemed far away, but the jet lag was actually only 5 hours, so it was not troublesome to fall back. It was just that he slept a little later at night. Fan Ju probably would have been able to adjust it himself one day.

Fan Ju couldn't rest even though he stretched his body. The plane he and Matata were going to take today was 9 a.m., and the air tickets were brought together, and the total cost was 120 US dollars. Fan Ju had to pay for the air ticket for his tour guide. However, due to the cheap tour guide fee, Fan Ju couldn't go to one place and change to another tour guide.

In fact, the total cost is fair. Fan Ju had negotiated that the employment fee was US$280 for 14 days. According to the tournament notification, the competition time was July 5, and the competition time of the main competition was July 8. In addition, the round trip and the reserved time to adapt to the environment, the number of 14 days of employment was about the same.

Of course, during this period, Matata will be responsible for all the work of Fan Ju going out and booking hotel air tickets and using the vehicle time itinerary during his stay in Kenya, so this money is not easy to make, not to mention that Fan Ju needs to subsidize himself except for the large expenses such as air tickets. Fan Ju does not need to be responsible for the accommodation and meal issues during other Matata tour guides. It can be said to be the best example of good quality and low price.

After staying in Nairobi for a day, Fan Ju did not stay for too long except for taking a few photos along the road. However, when he boarded a plane and flew to Mombasa along the vast East African plains, the magnificent natural landscape along the way and those migrating animals that could only vaguely see ants moving on the horizon, Fan Ju felt that his trip to Kenya would definitely have a good result.

Of course, he did not forget what he promised. In the future, if he had the chance, he would definitely take Yan Ximu here for a good vacation and enjoy the wild natural scenery here. However, Fan Ju couldn't imagine that Kenya is not only natural scenery on the grasslands to see.

"It's so blue! The sea here is so beautiful. Matata, your country has such a beautiful sea. It's really enviable." The sea and sky are the same color, the blue sea with rippling waves, the sea waters of varying depths are as gorgeous as gems at the intersection, and the clear sea waters make people have the desire to blend into the sea. The word beauty may be born for this moment.

"Mr. Fan Ju, your country is also beautiful, and I hope that one day my country will be as prosperous and strong as yours."

Although Matata has a lively personality, she also has ideas and is very proud of his motherland. However, he also knows that having beautiful scenery alone is not enough. On the contrary, he envies China's industrial strength, able to build supersonic aircraft by himself, build huge ships and rocket satellites flying into the universe, which is exactly what his motherland lacks.

Enter the city along the seaside, and the huge ivory doors standing on both sides of the street, there are ancient European-style buildings left over from the Ottoman period and even the Portuguese navigation period, comfortable sea breeze and comfortable and suitable temperatures, not to mention the wild nature reserve that can be reached in a few hours. This is undoubtedly a tourist destination that is very suitable for vacation.

However, Fan Ju did not have time to wander in this holy land for long. After completing the check-in registration for the hotel, Fan Ju rushed to the official organization for the competition. Today is July 3rd, and tomorrow at 12 noon will be the last time for registration. By then, as long as players who have not arrived at the stadium for registration will be considered as giving up the competition.

"Sir, this is your player proof and accompanying escort certificate. Please go to the United Tennis Arena of Mombasa tomorrow at 1 pm to draw the qualifying match. Please be sure not to be late." The staff seemed very enthusiastic when they saw someone coming to register, as if they were afraid that the Asian would turn around and leave if they were dissatisfied.

After Fan Ju took over the player's certificate and another accompanying certificate specially applied for Matata, he felt that he was really right this time. When he was in the tennis center, he kept hearing from Coach Li that there were fewer people in this game and how easy it was to enter the main game. Even if you don't have bad luck, you can meet a master, as long as you can win a point in the main game, you will be sure to get it.

But Fan Ju, who has learned about the situation of the Hope Game, always felt that the coach was swearing. It was so easy that he didn't see you send people out for the competition? As for those who are fighting for these places in China?

However, when Kenya really came to know the situation, Fan Ju realized that he had really misunderstood the coach and that's how it was.

Matata, who was accompanying him, was rummaging and turning around with the accompanying certificate at this time. Even though he had received so many guests, he was very happy to get a certificate to watch all tennis games for free. You know, he has looked at the price list. The tickets for a qualifying match cost $10, and every game of the main game is $20. How much money can you save with this certificate?

Regardless of Matata who calculated the value of this small card with his fingers, Fan Ju was still digesting the news he had just received from the registration staff.

"The number of people who have registered for the qualifying match in Hope Game should be 32, but now I have only reached the ninth one. The list of the main competition is also 32. There were 19 people who signed up to participate directly in the competition, and 4 people have announced that they will give up the competition. Even if the others are only 15 people on the main competition list, plus the four people with wild cards, there are 13 places to advance. In other words, if those people have not arrived in the future, they can only play one game in the qualifying match and then advance regardless of the winner or lose. This is a little easier, right?" Fan Ju was stunned when he saw the number of people. No wonder the coach said that as long as he is lucky, he can win one game in the main competition. This is a big truth without any moisture.

However, there are still a lot of time to report the qualifiers, and there will definitely be many local players to report it. And as long as the number of people in the qualifiers exceeds the number of people in the qualifiers, the qualifiers must be played. Of course, if you have a better luck in the signing, you may have a chance to directly advance after a bye, or even if you lose, you will have the chance to draw lots to advance. Anyway, as long as you have a good luck in the signing, everything is possible.

"Mr. Fan Ju, are you going to the beach? There are many attractions to see in Mombasa." Although Matata lives in Nairobi, it is not only familiar with Mombasa's port city, but is also very familiar with it. Many tourists will choose to relax and bask in the sun after enjoying the natural beauty of the East African prairie.

Fan Ju thought about it and nodded in agreement. Even if he wanted to practice alone, he couldn't find a sparring training. Besides, it was just a draw and there was no competition tomorrow. It would be better to go to the beach to have some activities. I wonder if there would be a black girl in a bikini basking in the sun by the beach?

Without Yan Ximu staring at Fan Ju, he became bolder. Of course, it is impossible to find romantic encounters to accompany him. However, it is still okay to enjoy the eyes. Compared with the conservative swimming pools and beachfront beaches in China, Fan Ju is more looking forward to going to those foreign beaches to visit. Not only are there beautiful scenery, but also beautiful women in cool clothes that can be pleasing to the eyes. It is really comfortable.

Time flies especially fast in a beautiful place. I spent an afternoon soaking on the beach. Although there weren’t many beauties, the comfortable environment really made Fan Ju relax a lot.

The next afternoon, Fan Ju and Matata appeared at the lottery venue half an hour in advance. This habit of arriving in advance made Matata feel a little strange, thinking to himself, was it a Chinese custom?

Fan Ju would tell him that he was just waiting and anxious. Although Fan Ju looked calm, it was his first professional game after all. He got up early this morning and found a wall in the hotel for more than an hour. The training effect was enough to warm up, which attracted many tourists in the hotel to watch, which made Fan Ju feel embarrassed.

"Mombasa, what we will do next is the draw of this Mombasa International Tennis Hope Game." The draw was hosted by the chairman of the local ITF Tennis Association. Fan Ju also felt that the other party attached great importance to it. After all, there are only one international competition that can be held in a year, and even the participants in this game were almost unsatisfied. The tennis environment is not even comparable to that in China.

The main players of this Hope Competition have all reached this time. What made the organizing committee relieved was that except for the four who gave up, the other players finally arrived on time. Although the number of people in the qualifying competition was indeed a little less, the organizing committee was surprised to find that the contestants participating this time not only had some common local African players, European and Indian players, but also had a Chinese player.

Although Fan Ju has neither the world ranking nor the ITF recorded competition results in the past, it is a significant result for the local ITF Tennis Association to have Chinese players coming to Mombasa to "scort points". At least this represents that local tennis competitions are recognized by more and more countries, and a strong proof of the competitions held in Mombasa in enhancing the country's international influence.

Every country has such a group of utopians in the brain. Fan Ju came to Kenya purely, but speaking of this group of people's misunderstandings is not unhelpful to Fan Ju. Under the arrangement of a group of interests, Fan Ju made some small arrangements in the draw of lots. Such arrangements not only ensure that he enters the main competition, but also allow Fan Ju to achieve better results in the main competition.
