The six days passed one by one, with one Preliminary Rounds match each day.
Jiang Siming never missed a single match. Although the fragments he obtained over those six days were still mostly useless junk, he had gathered quite a few universal fragments.
Jiang Siming now had 105 universal fragments. His patience in waiting for ABC's three groups to finish their matches these past few days had paid off.
He truly found these low-level matches boring. They were like playing high-scoring matches against random players, with practically no opponents.
In all six Preliminary Rounds matches, the China Team feasted on chicken dinners every single time.
The first-place teams in the other three groups changed hands frequently, but in Group D, the China Team firmly held on to first place.
Their total score had climbed to a terrifying 400-plus points.
The highest score among the other three groups belonged to the USA Team, but it was only a little over 200 points.
Fortunately, the Preliminary Rounds counted the top four teams from each of the four groups. Otherwise, the top four from some of the other groups probably would not even have ranked.
After the six days ended, the list of advancing teams was released.
The China Team, USA Team, Korean team, and Thailand Team took first place in their respective groups.
Next came Japan, Italy, Russia, and Sweden, which had finished second in their groups.
Another sixteen national teams, including Denmark and Germany, would advance to the finals.
The teams that had fought their way out of the Preliminary Rounds were no longer the weaklings from those rounds.
Especially the top eight teams—none of them could be underestimated.
After the list was released, the competition would not officially begin until the day after tomorrow, so everyone still had one day
