"Yes, and such an open bidding is also a rare opportunity for the Chu Dynasty to show its strength, which can enhance the trust and support of the people."

Zhao Qing added: "In addition, this is undoubtedly a stage for workshops to showcase their skills and innovation, which can attract more customers and orders. Kill two birds with one stone, why not?"

The two walked as they talked, passed through the crowd, and came to the fence.

At the apex of the fan-shaped area in the middle, a high platform made of bluestone rises from the ground. A dozen workshop representatives dressed in exquisite and elegant clothes are sitting upright. Behind them are flags representing the workshops, fluttering in the wind and colorful.

.

Under the high platform, hundreds of craftsmen in simple short robes are busy around the talisman of different shapes. Some are debugging complex rune arrays, while others are checking whether the various parts of the talisman are functioning properly.

It's in perfect condition, with a faint light constantly emitting from the contact area.

In mid-air, a middle-aged general wearing green-gold armor was suspended, announcing the rules and procedures of the bidding. His voice was clearly amplified by the real essence and loudspeaker, and was clearly transmitted into everyone's ears.

In the ear:

"All the people of Chu, as well as distinguished guests from afar, we are gathered here today to witness an unprecedented event - the Great Chu Military Talisman Bidding Conference!"

The middle-aged general's voice was full of passion and pride, echoing in the empty field and causing waves of cheers from the people around him.

"The Talisman, as an important aid for practitioners and the army, its power and effectiveness are directly related to the tranquility of our border and the well-being of the people. Therefore, the military hereby holds this bidding to discover the most creative and practical

Talisman weapon to strengthen the military power of our great Chu, defend our homeland, and frighten all directions!"

The middle-aged general's words revealed an unquestionable majesty. His eyes swept across the crowd and continued:

"This bidding is divided into three rounds. The first round is a display session, where each workshop needs to demonstrate the uniqueness and power of its talisman. The second round is an actual combat simulation. We will set up a variety of battlefield situations including target practice.

, to test the actual combat effectiveness of the talisman."

"In the third round, senior military officials and specially invited guests will make a comprehensive evaluation based on the test results, taking into account the manufacturing cost. The final winner will not only receive a large order from the military, but will also receive

His Majesty’s personal meeting and commendation made him famous all over the world!”

As the general finished speaking, the atmosphere in the crowd became even more lively. Countless spectators stretched their necks to try to see clearly the talismans that were about to be tested. Discussions continued one after another, full of expectations, and some even held promotional pamphlets.

People are walking around, selling to the richly dressed people.

Zhao Qing and Xia Mi looked at each other, both feeling surprised. They didn't expect that they would encounter such a grand event by chance during this trip.

Xia Mi chuckled and said in a low voice: "It seems that our trip to Tiangong Pavilion has to be put on hold for the time being. This bidding conference may bring us some unexpected gains."

Zhao Qing nodded in agreement, and the two of them observed the situation on the court more intently.

At this time, the representative of the first workshop had left his seat on the high platform, walked to the front, and began to introduce their works.
Chapter completed!
