Chapter 137: Tianjiao Banquet, officially begins
While Yunlin was talking to Ye Qingwu, a piece of cloth flew down from the sky and landed precisely on everyone's head, as if a pair of invisible hands gently placed the cloth on the head of everyone who was of an appropriate age to attend the Tianjiao Banquet.
"What is this?"
After taking off the cloth that floated over her head, Yun Ling felt a little strange, but soon words appeared on it, just like the cards.
"The first round of the Tianjiao Banquet is about to begin. The theme of the first stage is the assessment of combat power. Each person must defeat three people present. There are a maximum of ten opportunities to participate."
The words on it were the same as what Old Man Han said before he came here, but Yunlin was a little curious about the paper.
"Luo Ling, do you know how this is done? It's similar to the way you talked to me."
"What are you talking about? Actually, it's just writing something on this piece of cloth and then putting it on everyone's head. But he made a little setting so that it will only react when the right person touches it. If the age is over a certain level, it won't react like this."
Luo Ling's words were full of disdain, but after listening to his words, Yun Lin understood a little.
"In other words, this first level is not an assessment of combat power, but an assessment of age, for the purpose of prevention. Some people are taking advantage of the situation and sneaking into the Tianjiao Banquet by using disguises. This is a very novel testing method."
Soon after the line of words appeared on the piece of cloth in Yunlin's hand, it turned into ten blank stars.
"Well, it seems that the latter part is the important thing. Ten stars represent the ability to participate in ten battles, but what will happen if you win or lose?"
As he thought about this, Yunlin turned his gaze towards Ye Qingwu and said, "I challenge you."
Ye Qingwu just glanced at Yunlin, and quickly understood his plan without saying anything else. He nodded: "I accept your challenge."
When Ye Qing agreed to trip the circuit breaker, the pieces of cloth in the hands of the two men flew up again and merged together. However, Yun Lin didn't care about this at all. He just smiled and said, "I give up."
In Yunlin, when the words fell, the piece of cloth flying in the air split into two pieces and fell into the hands of Yunlin and Ye Qingwu respectively. However, the pieces of cloth of the two were different at this moment. Yunlin's was nine white stars and one black star, while Ye Qingwu's was one red star plus nine white stars.
"If you win, the star will turn from white to red, and vice versa, if you lose, it will turn black."
After taking a glance at the two people and the different patterns on the cloth in their hands, Yunlin quickly made a guess in his mind, but because of this, he had more questions in his mind.
"Luo Ling, how is this possible? It looks like it's not that easy to do."
"This is quite interesting. It is not designed in advance, but it is monitored by divine thoughts. There is a ray of divine thoughts on each piece of cloth. When the two pieces are put together, they can observe a battle, and then determine the result based on this ray of divine thoughts."
Listening to Luo Ling introducing Yunlin to him, he felt even more confused.
"There are so many people here. Is it really possible to monitor them all with just one person's spiritual sense?"
"Of course a human can't hold on, but when did I ever say that this is a human's spiritual consciousness?"
"What I just described was divine thoughts, not divine consciousness, which shows that it was not humans who were doing this, but the will of heaven in the human world."
After Luo Lin finished speaking, his voice became much lower, and he said with some amusement: "But the will of the heaven in the human world is really idle. The injuries on his body haven't recovered yet, but he has the leisure to organize this kind of Tianjiao Banquet."
The cloud listener Lorraine was speaking and was about to ask something, but when he looked up at the sky, he secretly exclaimed that something was wrong.
Previously, he had always believed that when the three suns turned into discs, the Tianjiao Banquet would officially begin. However, Old Man Han told him that in his opinion, the Tianjiao Banquet would only begin from the second stage, and the first stage was just a joke. However, it was precisely this unclear statement that led Yunlin to make a wrong inference.
"Qingwu, there is no time to waste. Go find someone to fight with quickly. Wait a minute, we will gather here."
After Yuan Lin said something to Ye Qingwu, he didn't care whether he responded or not, and started looking for someone to duel with. However, the people around him were very cautious and did not reveal their skills at all, so Yun Lin didn't want to choose an opponent rashly.
"Does this brother want victory points?"
When Yunlin was looking around, someone suddenly grabbed him. After hearing his words, Yunlin felt a little dazed, as if he had returned to Earth and met a ticket scalper.
"Brother, do you want a ticket?
The person who caught him was a man who looked to be about 20 years old. At this moment, he was holding a piece of cloth that floated down from the sky and smiling at Yunlin.
"How do you sell it?"
However, Yunlin did not feel any aversion towards the person who held him.
Anyway, instead of taking the risk of a duel, it is better to spend some spirit stones to reduce some trouble. Of course, the premise is that the price is not too high.
"300 Spiritual Stones per person. Of course, I'm only selling five."
300 spirit stones are not expensive for Yunlin at the moment. Even if Ye Qingwu's share is included, it only costs 600 spirit stones to solve 1/3, which is not bad.
"The price is a bit high, can you lower it a little bit?"
Although the price was already very cheap, Ye Lin did not agree immediately. Instead, he looked at the man and asked, "I don't accept price reductions at the moment. The price may increase later. After all, the chance of completion will decrease as time goes by."
"Okay then, I'll buy two spots, you finish with me first, then I'll pay with my spirit stones, and then I'll go find my companions."
Yunlin completed the goal easily, and the picture above turned into a red star, plus a black star, and there were eight white stars left.
Then he took out 300 spirit stones from his Qiankun bag and handed them to the man.
"How did you come up with this approach?"
After the transaction was completed, Yunlin looked at the man in front of him and asked curiously.
"I am a businessman, and businessmen always think about how to make a profit. In fact, there is more than that. I have also found ways to make money in the remaining two stages, but I have not been able to implement them yet."
The man obviously didn't want to answer the question about the garden, but Yunlin didn't ask any further questions.
"If you like making money, why do you set the price so low? Wouldn't you be able to get more if you set the price higher?"
"I can see that you don't understand business at all. Listen carefully, you can make small profits and sell a lot of products at a low price, but don't think about getting rich quickly, because this kind of thing itself does not require any cost. Once you set the price too high, it may cause others to maliciously lower the price, and it will also damage your reputation. Instead of doing this, it is better to set the price very low from the beginning. The reputation you gain is more valuable than the few spirit stones you earn."
"Then I hope you can leave a spot for me. I have another companion. She and I have separated now, and we are meeting here. If you are free, come and have a look. If you see her, I can tell you what she looks like. Well, I can't describe it at all, but she is wearing a long red dress. Pay a little attention to her."
"Is it so general? Okay, I get it, but I may not leave it to you. Even if I leave it to you, the price will no longer be 300 spirit stones. It will increase. You need to be mentally prepared for this."
After saying this, Yunlin continued to look for his next target. As for the name, neither of them asked the other. For you, this is just a transaction, there is no need to know too much. As for what the other party is thinking, Yunlin has no idea.
"There are still two targets left. How should I choose?"
When Yunlin was thinking this, Luo Ling sighed softly in his mind: "You are really stupid. It's because of the huge sum of money you accidentally picked up in the sword world before that you lost your mind."
"How do you say this?"
As for Luo Ling Yunlin, I feel that there is nothing worth showing off. If I don't understand, I won't ask.
"First of all, you have done three wrong things. The first is to pay 300 spirit stones for a quota that has no value at all."
As for Yunlin, Luo Ling also had no intention of keeping him for the exam and said, "Have you become so confused about the value of spirit stones?
"Think carefully about it. How many spiritual stones did you have when you were the richest? And where did they come from?"
Yun Lin was suddenly stunned when he heard Luo Ling's reminder. When he was the richest before, he had no more than 200 spirit stones on him, and they were given to him by Mu Geng. But now, she had used up 300 spirit stones in such a short time, and he even felt that it was a bit cheap.
"Shit, I got ripped off. He said the price was so cheap, but it turns out there was something wrong with my understanding. 300 spirit stones, damn."
After Luo Ling's reminder, Yun Lin also reacted, but after he reacted, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart, as if he had lost tens of thousands of spirit stones.
"Then there's your second mistake. You shouldn't have separated from Ye Qingwu. You have so many people. Once you separate, even if you have agreed on a time with him, it will be very difficult to get back together later because you and she haven't agreed on an exact time. You're not sure what will happen after the first stage is over, so how will you meet up with her then?"
Luo Ling ignored Yun Lin's distressed expression and continued to help him, saying, "Originally, it would be best for two people to act together. This kind of quota can be completely exchanged equally. Just find a small group of people and exchange them with each other. But why is it so troublesome for you? How do you think you spent three hundred spirit stones to buy something that has no value?"
When Yunlin heard Luo Ling mention him and spent 300 spirit stones to buy something of no value, his heart ached, but she was not finished scolding Yunlin.
"The third question is, why did you reveal Ye Qingwu's existence to him? Judging from Ye Qingwu's behavior of hiding in Muyu Sect since she was brought back by you, do you think she is so clear about the prices in this world? Do you think she won't be deceived?"
"Why do I feel like I've done something terribly wrong after hearing what you said? I always thought I was doing pretty well."
Yunlin said to Luo Ling somewhat depressedly. He really couldn't understand it. He was clearly doing what he thought was the best thing, but now he was being criticized by Luo Lin like this.
"You think it's good, that's just your opinion. Can you represent everyone? And think carefully about what I just said. Are they the facts?"
Luo Ling had no intention of being polite to him, and continued to say to him directly: "If you have figured it out now, go find Ye Qingwu as soon as possible."
After hearing Luo Ling's words, Yunlin nodded, but didn't say anything else. He walked in the direction where he and Ye Qingwu separated. However, as he walked, he suddenly felt as if something had fallen.
"What's wrong? What are you thinking about? Hurry up and go. The most important thing for you now is to find Ye Qingwu."
Luo Ling was obviously a little surprised at his performance, so she urged him quickly.
"When you were scolding me just now, you seemed to have mentioned something particularly crucial."
Yunlin ignored Luo Ling's urging, but suddenly stopped and said.
"What's the key thing?"
Luo Ling was also a little confused by Yunlin's performance.
"You said Ye Qingwu didn't know the prices in this world, and was easily cheated."
Yunlin said to Luo Ling.
"Why, do you have anything else to say?"
Luo Ling was obviously confused about what he said.
"She has never left the sect, so where would she get the spiritual stones to be cheated? And considering that she was the eldest daughter in the original world, I don't think she would be cheated so easily."
Just now he was a little confused by Luo Ling and didn't react. Now that he thinks about it carefully, many of the things Luo Ling deduced are not correct.
"Relax, Ye Qingwu is not as fragile as you think. This is my confidence in her, so you should also have some confidence in him."
After saying this, Yunlin gave up on looking for Ye Qingwu. First of all, it would not be easy to find her with so many people. Secondly, Yunlin had not completed the task yet. At least if he wanted to find Ye Qingwu, he had to finish the things in the first stage first. Otherwise, any problems that might arise would be difficult to solve.
