Ernst City is extremely lively today. The number of people passing through the bustling streets is more than twice as much as usual. Even hotels and restaurants are overcrowded. Despite this, people are still pouring in from outside the city.
At the gate of the city, the city defense troops, armed by Ernst's graduate students, were standing guard, inspecting everyone who entered the city with a solemn expression.
"The entry fee is one gold coin!" After standing guard for a long time, the voices of the soldiers guarding the city were already hoarse, but they still said this sentence in a formulaic manner.
Hearing these words, a fat man in front of them looked confused. After tinkering for a long time, a gold coin appeared in his fat hand. He pulled the gold coin tightly, and a trace of physical pain flashed in the fat man's eyes.
, withdrew his outstretched hand, and said to the two soldiers with a flattering look on his face: "Young man, my son is also from the Ernst Magic Academy. I came to watch his game when I came! I won't use this money, right?"
The guard looked at the middle-aged man in front of him with disdain, somewhat confused.
Yes, if a ragged old man said these words to them, they might be soft-hearted and let him go, but the middle-aged man in front of them obviously did not belong to that category.
The man is about forty or fifty years old, with a plump figure, like a round ball, and is wearing an extremely gorgeous dress. If I am not mistaken, this dress is a high-level magic prop. I really can’t imagine someone wearing such luxurious clothes.
The accountant compares the entrance fee to the city with only one gold coin.
"This is the rule! If you don't want to go in, get out of the way. There are people behind you!" The soldier's voice was a little cold, and the people behind him who were rushing to enter the city also cheered: "Yes! If you don't want to go in, get out of the way, don't block the way!!!"
"
Looking at the guard's selfless face, the middle-aged man still stretched out his fat white hand and put the warm gold coin in his hand into the soldier's hand. Before leaving, he didn't forget to look back.
The expression on his face was extremely painful.
"You brat! I spent a gold coin to watch your game. If you embarrass you, I won't slap you!!!" the middle-aged man muttered, blaming this loss entirely on his unlucky son.
In a restaurant not far from the city gate, Qian Shao and a group of roommates were already seated in a private room. Qian Shao's expression was rare and exciting because his father was here. He had tricked him into coming with the pretext of a competition, but actually he wanted to show off.
He made a lot of money so that his father could be happy.
"Give me a portion of all the dishes!!!" the rich man's declaration sounded again, and Mr. Qian had already seen his father's figure outside the window.
"Isn't this customer a bit too much?" The waitress looked at the small amount of money with some anxiety, obviously treating them as if they were eating a king's meal.
"Isn't it just money? I have plenty of it!" After saying this, Mr. Qian threw a bag of gold coins into the waitress's arms and said, "This is a tip for you, please serve the food faster!!!"
The waitress weighed the heavy purse in her hand, with a smile on her face, and immediately went to work for them.
"Shao Qian! I heard that your father is the richest man. What does he look like?" Although Huo Yuyang is Shao Qian's good brother, he has never met Shao Qian's father and was inevitably a little curious before meeting him for the first time.
"Pfft~~~"
Wuyou was drinking tea. When he heard Huo Yuyang's words, he immediately spit out the tea he had just drank.
Huo Yuyang happened to be sitting opposite her, with tea on his face.
"Sister Mo You, I'm just curious about what Young Master Qian's father looks like. You don't need to be so excited!" The red light shined, Huo Yuyang used fire magic to dry the water stains on his face, and said dissatisfied to Wu You
road.
Wuyou was also a little embarrassed, but couldn't help but think of Qian Duoduo's fat face!
Xuanyuan Rui had also met Qian Duoduo, and immediately understood the point of Wuyou's smile. Recalling the encounter between the four of them that day, his eyes felt a little soft.
"You bastard! Get out of here with me! You know how to be a prodigal. If you insist on me coming, I will lose a gold coin to enter the city in vain!!!" A roar came from outside the door.
With a muffled sound, the door of the box opened, and a round sphere appeared in front of everyone. His angry expression and his somewhat hefty figure looked particularly funny. Huo Yuyang also sprayed! However,
He still held back, after all, this was out of respect for his elders.
Qian Duoduo felt something was wrong as soon as he opened the door. Why were there so many people sitting in such a dark place? He straightened out his slightly messy clothes, put on the air of an elder, walked slowly to the crowd and said with a slight smile: "Hello! I am
Qian Shaoshao’s father is Qian Duoduo! Nice to meet you!”
He greeted him politely and friendly, but what he received in reply was silence in the room. It wasn't that everyone didn't want to say it, it was just that they couldn't say it, because they would burst into laughter as soon as they spoke.
The only person who was not smiling at the scene was the man who had less money. His face was very dark, and four words were clearly written on his face: I am not happy!
That's right, Mr. Qian is depressed. This smelly old man mentioned his embarrassing name again in front of so many people. If there was a hole at this time, he would have fallen into it long ago.
"Hello! I am Mu Yun, Mr. Qian's classmate!" Mu Yun was the first to recover, and now he transformed into a sunny and beautiful young man, with a gentle smile on his windy face, and nodded politely towards Qian Duoduo.
Finally someone paid attention to him, Qian Duoduo's originally embarrassed face softened, and he looked at Mu Yun and smiled gently.
"I'm Mo You!"
"Huo Yuyang! Mr. Qian and I are brothers!"
"Shui Qingluo!"
"Lan Jin!"
"Xuerou!"
"Nan Xiaoyu!"
"Deavan!"
Soon, the seven people in Villa No. 1 introduced themselves, and Qian Duoduo also squeezed his invisible fat eyes and returned the greetings to everyone.
The only one who didn't speak was Xuanyuan Rui. Xuanyuan Rui still had a cold face and concentrated on drinking the tea in front of him, completely ignoring him.
"This is..." Mr. Qian didn't expect Xuanyuan Rui to speak, so he had to introduce himself. Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened his mouth, his father stopped him: "No need to introduce, we have met before!"
"Do you know each other?" Mr. Qian looked at his father in surprise, obviously doubting his words.
"What are you looking at! If I say we know each other, we know each other!" Qian Duoduo suddenly saw his son's thoughts and was furious.
Looking at the father and son who were like living treasures in front of him, Wuyou's eyes were full of smiles, and he immediately came to the rescue and said: "He does know him. Your father even invited Xuanyuan Rui to dinner before!"
"This is impossible!" Mr. Qian knew his father's character.
One word: dig.
Two words: Very stingy.
Three words: Very stingy.
To ask someone to treat someone to dinner who won't even pay the city fee is simply a miracle in mainland China. Even if you beat him to death, he won't reply even if you don't have enough money.
"You brat, what do you mean, I can't treat you?" Extremely dissatisfied with Qian Shao's exaggerated reaction, Qian Duoduo immediately knocked on his head.
Ignoring the pain on his head, Mr. Qian boldly looked at Xuanyuan Rui.
Although Xuanyuan Rui was drinking tea, he always paid special attention to Wuyou's matters. When he saw Wuyou's playful look, he nodded for the first time.
Qian Duoduo was overjoyed for Xuanyuan Rui's affirmation, but he also understood the temperament of these hermit family children, so he did not deliberately try to get close to him, but just smiled and nodded at Xuanyuan Rui.
The scene was very harmonious. It seemed that except for the lack of money, everyone was getting along happily with the money, until...
"Dong dong dong!"
There was a knock on the door, and the waitress pushed the door open. She winked at Mr. Qian with a smile on her face, and then stepped aside to let the people behind her serve the food. Behind her, there were more than twenty waitresses.
Everyone has at least two plates of food in their hands.
As we filed in, the waiters here were of high quality, and soon hundreds of dishes were placed on the large long table.
The waitress came to Mr. Qian respectfully and said with a smile: "Your dishes have been served. There are a total of 108 dishes in our restaurant. Please enjoy!"
Mr. Qian nodded with satisfaction, took out a gold card from his arms and handed it to the waitress: "Swipe the card!"
The harmonious atmosphere was completely broken by his behavior. The waiter quickly completed the payment procedures, returned the card to Mr. Qian, and left in a hurry.
Qian Duoduo didn't do anything, and the others were embarrassed. The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.
Qian Duoduo was trying his best to suppress something. After the waitress left, he whispered in Qian Shao's ear: "How much is it?"
There were all professionals of level three or above present, and the distance was not far away. Qian Duoduo's words seemed to be in everyone's ears. At that moment, everyone looked at Qian Shao's expression with a little more amusement.
Mr. Qian scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "It's not expensive, only five hundred gold coins!"
Qian Duoduo's heart is bleeding, that's five hundred gold coins, five hundred, five hundred gold coins can go into the city five hundred times!!! If Master Qian knew just now that his father was willing to fight for a gold coin to enter the city,
If city defense soldiers want to have a relationship, they won't say it outright. They will at least offer a few discounts.
"Uncle, let's eat! You must be very tired after traveling for so many days!" Mu Yun restored the atmosphere at the right moment. If he hadn't spoken, Qian Qian would have been chased down by his father for several streets.
"The food here tastes good, but it doesn't taste good when it's cold. The money has been spent, and it will be wasted if you don't eat it!!!" Wuyou said with a faint smile, a sly light flashing in his eyes.
Sure enough, Qian Duoduo, who was still calculating gains and losses and suppressing his anger, woke up instantly after hearing the word waste!!! He nodded vigorously, looked at Wuyou as if looking at a close friend and said: You must let your son be with such a person.
To be friends, be honest enough and frugal enough!!!
If Qian Duoduo knew that Wuyou was the rich man he met before, he would definitely not have such thoughts.
"Eat, eat! You're welcome!!!" Qian Duoduo's eyes already had tears in his eyes. He looked at the plates of dishes. Each plate cost four or five gold coins. Since he spent the money, he certainly couldn't suffer a loss.
Without waiting for everyone to agree, he took the lead and started to conquer the large plate of Warcraft meat in front of him. After all, meat was more valuable.
Qian Shao was a little embarrassed. Of course he could see what his father was thinking. He smiled coquettishly and said to everyone: "You guys should eat quickly too!"
Everyone was also hungry, so they ate unceremoniously, but compared to gobbling up the money, they were much more elegant. Even Devin, who had always been the most down-to-earth, thought he couldn't compare to his father who had less money.
Everyone's appetite was not big, they didn't eat much of the food, they were almost full, and they immediately started discussing the championship match.
The Championship Tournament is a unique competition of the Ernst Academy of Magic. Different from the academy competition that is held every year, the Championship Tournament is much more difficult. It is said that such a competition is only held every time there is a disagreement in the academy.
Select a representative from the students to cast this crucial vote, which means that the first place in the championship competition is equivalent to an elder-like existence, and has a pivotal position in Ernst.
Everyone chose to participate in the academy competition firstly to challenge their own strength, and secondly to be worry-free. Only if they win can they decide their rights. For this reason, everyone came out of Villa No. 1, except Feng Wu, who had been in seclusion.
Sadly, basically all of Ernst’s geniuses will participate. Even those who are not geniuses hope to show their faces at this opportunity and increase their reputation.
The championship competition is divided into two parts. The first part is the regular arena match, and the second part is a hidden mission. No one knows what the mission will be. Only the top three in the arena match are eligible to participate in the second round.
The second round, and people who can enter the second round often don't talk much, so there are fewer people who know about the second round. Now they are discussing things that they may encounter in the second round.
In terms of strength, Villa No. 1 is much stronger than the ordinary magician class, but in terms of top geniuses, only Mu Yun can pull them out.
In the quiet and elegant box, ten people were talking in low voices, and one person was concentrating on solving the waste problem. The sound of chewing was their accompaniment.
