Yu Xiuxiu returned to the house next door feeling refreshed. She thought that it was great that she didn't even have to do morning exercises. It would be great if she could train like this every day!
You bastard, why didn't you impersonate anyone else? You're just unlucky to impersonate Xiao Bai!
She could tell that the person was not Xiao Bai at first glance. She then recalled the people who scolded Xiao Bai and said that Long Aotian was a liar and a thief.
Therefore, she was able to confirm Long Aotian's identity the moment she saw him.
Long Aotian was an unlucky bastard. If he could bear with it for a while and avoided Yu Xiuxiu, other people might not be able to recognize him at first glance.
Now, he was lying in front of Xiao Bai's house. He could not die even if he wanted to.
After a long time, he finally regained some strength. He said the two words that he usually did not care about, but today, he was extremely excited — offline!
Although Yu Xiuxiu had returned home, she kept an eye on Xiao Bai's house. She was slightly relieved when she saw that Long Aotian had gone offline.
Since Long Aotian was a thief and a liar, she decided to look after Xiao Bai's house for a while.
At the same time, she left a message for Xiao Bai to inform Xiao Bai about it.
Shirō Makino stayed in the Black Domain for the whole night. He felt refreshed after he went offline early in the morning.
After drawing talismans for the whole night, he felt especially energetic and in good condition.
Then, he received a message from Liu Zhiyuan, telling him to meet him at the usual place.
After training, he washed up and ate a sumptuous breakfast prepared by Big Beautiful. Shirō Makino drove to their base.
The others had already arrived at this moment.
Shan Gu was excited when he saw Shirō Makino. He said, "The date of the competition has been decided!"
He waved his hand, and a screen appeared in front of him. The rules and schedule of the competition were displayed on it.
"March 15th?" Shirō Makino glanced at it and frowned, "The rules of the tournament have changed …"
Liu Zhiyuan nodded. "Yes, he has. Actually, you can see it from the Hundred Flower Cup."
Ji Chae Yi walked over with a few bottles of water and threw one bottle to each of them. Then, she sat on the sofa and suddenly said, "Oh yes, I suddenly remembered something."
A few of them looked at her.
"The first two Spiritual Pearls that we obtained in the underground palace … should also belong to Li Min!"
"Aiyo, if you didn't mention it, I would have forgotten about it. That's right, when we obtained those two Spiritual Beads, Li Min was also present. Although she said that she didn't want it, it wasn't right for us to do nothing about this kind of thing. Besides, he has been keeping this secret for us. It's not easy, "Shan Gu said.
"Yes, even if she said before that she doesn't want any rewards, that's her opinion. It can't be our attitude." Liu Zhiyuan nodded.
Liu was very calm. He didn't show that he had discussed it with Shirō Makino at all.
Even if Chae Yi didn't mention it, Si Yin and Shan Gu might mention it later.
They didn't mention it before because they were too busy with all kinds of things and forgot about it. When they remembered it, they would definitely mention it.
None of them were the kind of people who liked to take advantage of others.
"Xiao Bai, what do you think?" Liu Zhiyuan looked at Shirō Makino and asked.
What do you think?!
Shirō Makino thought to himself, "You're really good at pretending …"
However, at this time, he couldn't jump out and ruin Liu's plan. He could only bite the bullet and say, "A Spiritual Bead is worth at least tens of billions. That's something that can instantly increase a Grandmaster's strength. So, it's impossible to sell it. I still have a few billion here … "
"No, of course not!" Ji Chae Yi shook her head resolutely. "Each of us got two Spiritual Beads in perfect condition. That's already a huge advantage. How can we let you take the money? Regarding this matter, this is what I think … "
As she spoke, she looked at them. "Do you know how much our rice noodle shop's daily turnover is?"
Everyone was stunned.
They hadn't been there even once since they came back. What the hell would they know?
Ji Chae Yi sighed. "You people … I'm slow enough, but you're even slower than me! Actually, Sister Guo sends us the reports every month. Although there's an AI system to handle it, in order to understand it herself, she still specially studied it. But in the end, all of you are really hands-off shopkeepers. "
Shan Gu said, "Let's not talk about that. Hurry up and tell us, how much is the daily turnover?"
Ji Chae Yi said, "So far, we've opened six shops in Hundred Flowers City. Our daily turnover is about one million. In a month, it's thirty million. In a year, it's more than three hundred million! What do you think? You didn't expect that, did you? "
They were a little confused. It was only a rice noodle shop. It was understandable for the main branch to be popular. After all, it was located in a prime location. How could the branches generate such a huge profit in a year?
"Of course, we spent a lot of money on the initial renovation of the shops. Many of the branches are rented and we have to pay rent. So, the profit for the first year is probably only a few tens of millions. But in the long run, these shops are like a hen that lays golden eggs for us. "
As Ji Chae Yi spoke, she couldn't help but laugh. "You guys don't know, my family was shocked. They considered opening a restaurant, but they felt that they couldn't make anything special, so they gave up. I didn't expect this shop of ours to be so profitable! "
"In the future, I plan to let Sister Guo and Brother Guang expand to other cities. As long as the Ji Family has business, we can open our shops there. That way, our shop won't be a small business anymore. "
Ji Chae Yi looked at them. "What do you think about giving Li Min some shares? We don't need Xiao Bai to come up with the shares, we can give some to her. "
"I don't have any objections. The question is … is this appropriate?" Shan Gu ran his hand through his gray hair. "I don't mean anything else. I'm just wondering if she will accept it."
"If you give her the money directly, she won't accept it. Do you believe me?" Ji Chae Yi said, "Looks like you guys don't know Li Min very well. She's a smart person, but also a righteous one … She probably wants to be good friends with us. She's outstanding, never offends anyone, and there's nothing wrong with her character. So, I think it's good for us to have another friend like her. "
Si Yin whispered, "Yes, we found the treasure together. There's no reason to split it among us and leave her behind …"
Ji Chae Yi glanced at Si Yin, and Si Yin ran away immediately. She glared at Ji Chae Yi fiercely. Hair isn't your toy!
Liu Zhiyuan looked at Shirō Makino, and Shirō Makino nodded lightly.
Actually, he didn't approve of Liu Zhiyuan's intention to sell the spirit beads. But Liu's attitude was very firm, and he couldn't say much. Now that Ji Caiyi had brought this matter up in front of him, what she said made sense. Li Min might not be able to accept billions of dollars of benefits if they were directly given to her.
But she definitely wouldn't care about the shares of the rice noodle shop, just like the rest of them.
And through this method, she would be able to completely undo the knot in her heart.
Speaking of which, none of the five of them blamed her.
"Then it's settled. Xiao Bai, you don't have to worry about this, I'll handle it," Ji Chae Yi said.
Shirō Makino hesitated for a moment, and nodded.
Liu Zhiyuan raised his eyebrows. He wanted to say something, but in the end, he didn't.
Everyone knew what he was thinking, and that he wanted to take another path. But if it was mentioned again and again, it would still make people feel uncomfortable.
Young people didn't want to say goodbye.
"Let's discuss the competition." Liu Zhiyuan changed the topic.
"First, the rules of the competition have changed."
Liu Zhiyuan looked at them and said, "From the beginning, it has become a team battle in all kinds of terrains. Arena battles have been completely abandoned! Therefore, for the time being, we must put more effort into familiarizing ourselves with the various terrains and battles. "
"The Giant City Trial Field is a good place. The system there can simulate all kinds of terrains, and the degree of realism is much higher than in the virtual world!"
Shirō Makino nodded. "Yes, I agree."
The threshold to enter the Black Domain was too high. Even he didn't know how to enter the Black Domain.
Unless he asked the old man.
But apart from Si Yin, the rest of the people around him … were really not suitable to enter the Black Domain.
At least, not now.
Once they entered, their pride would definitely take a huge blow.
So the Giant City Trial Field was the most suitable place. More importantly, they didn't have to pay a ticket to enter.
"Actually, I think this change is a good thing." Shan Gu said, "At least it can let us familiarize ourselves with the various terrains in advance. We have Si Yin and Brother Bai. There's nothing to be afraid of."
Si Yin was a little shy. She whispered, "I-I can't."
"You can!" Ji Chae Yi quickly reached out and rubbed Si Yin's head. Her hair was smooth and smooth, and it felt good.
Si Yin pouted and looked at Ji Chae Yi with an aggrieved look. Did you have to use your assassin's ability to rub my head?
Ji Chae Yi grinned. "You've already proven yourself in the previous battle. Don't forget, that was in the real world! You're not even afraid of fighting in the real world. Why would you be afraid of virtual battles? "
Si Yin said, "At that time … it was a matter of life and death, so I naturally forgot to be afraid. But in the real world, I'm a little scared when I think about attacking someone."
"Don't be afraid. You'll definitely be fine!" Ji Chae Yi encouraged.
"Yes, I'll try my best to overcome it!" Si Yin nodded with a serious expression.
Liu Zhiyuan continued, "This time, there will still be ten regions. I've already studied this region and made a table."
Saying that, he waved his hand and a screen appeared in front of everyone.
On the light screen, there was a huge table filled with words.
"Aiyo, I'm getting dizzy just looking at it. You should just tell us." Ji Chae Yi rubbed her temples.
Liu Zhiyuan looked at Ji Chae Yi dotingly and said, "It's actually not that complicated. Because we're the champions of the Hundred Flower Cup, we don't need to participate in the qualifiers and can directly enter the main competition."
"For a third-tier city like ours, each city can only send one high school team to participate. So, third-tier cities have a total of 1,000 teams."
Shan Gu shook his head. "That's a lot!"
"Ten regions." Liu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Second-tier cities can each allow two teams to participate. There's a total of 216 teams. First-tier cities can each allow five teams to participate …"
"F * ck! That's not fair! "Shan Gu rolled his eyes." What? Must the teams from first-tier cities be awesome? "
Liu Zhiyuan looked at him and said, "Think about the population of a first-tier city."
Shan Gu didn't say anything. Indeed, according to the population, if a city could only send five teams to participate, people might think it was unfair!
"Therefore, the total number of participating teams will be 1,000 teams from Level 3 cities, 216 teams from Level 2 cities, and 180 teams from Level 1 cities. In total, there will be 1,396 teams!"
Liu Zhiyuan looked at these people and said, "Then, there will be four teams from the thirty-six first-tier cities who will draw lots. That's a total of 1,400 teams. "
Shirō Makino couldn't help but take a deep breath and mumble, "Star Wars!"
This was under the situation where third-tier cities could only send one team and second-tier cities could only send two teams. For a city like Hundred Blossom, sending three to five high school teams wasn't a problem!
As for a second-tier city with a population of hundreds of millions, sending a dozen or even dozens of teams wasn't a problem!
A first-tier city didn't even need to be mentioned.
So, in this situation, they could only choose the best of the best.
"1,400 teams will be split into ten large arenas." Liu Zhiyuan continued, "Each arena will have 140 teams, and the first round will be an elimination round!"
"And for this sort of elimination round, the teams are randomly assigned!"
Liu Zhiyuan's expression was very serious as he looked at everyone. "We'll only know who our opponents are two days before the match, so we don't have much time to understand them."
Shan Gu said carelessly, "We have Brother Bai …"
Liu Zhiyuan looked at him sternly. "Shan Gu …"
Shan Gu scratched his head and laughed. "I understand, I understand. We can't rely on Brother Bai for everything. We need to grow as well … We all understand this, but as long as Brother Bai is around, we can't help but want to rely on him."
"That's true, but if you only want to fight in the Flying Celestial High School League, you don't have to work too hard." Liu Zhiyuan looked at him with a serious expression and said, "But if … you still want to participate in the Empire High School League like Senior Wan Xiong and the others and win glory for the entire Hundred Flowers City and even the Flying Deity Planet, and if you want to go to a famous school in the future, then you have to change your current mentality."
"I understand." Shan Gu's head drooped. He deserved to be scolded. After the trip to the underground palace, his mentality was indeed a little too relaxed.
Brother Bai was too strong!
He could challenge an entire team by himself!
In addition, Si Xiaoyin, who had awakened, was also extremely strong.
With these two gods around, who in the entire Flying Celestial High School League could stop them?
Shan Gu even thought about how he would raise the trophy …
"Don't underestimate any team. From the information I have, all 1,400 teams are included!"
Liu Zhiyuan looked at Shan Gu, then at the others. "Do you know? In this year's Flying Celestial High School League, some teams are so strong that they surprised me. Do you think that one Advanced Talisman Artist, Xiao Bai, is enough? Wrong! Amongst the teams that are participating in this year's competition, there are at least 10 teams that have advanced Talisman Masters! "
"In addition, there are a few teams with Spiritual Warriors at the Master level."
Shan Gu's eyes widened. "What? Spiritual Warriors at the Master level? Are you kidding me? How is that possible? "
Ji Chae Yi, Si Yin, and Shirō Makino were also shocked.
High school students? Master level?
Although they were Spiritual Warriors, it was still shocking.
"I'm not sure how they became Master level, but it is very likely that they have Spiritual Beads like us. However, these people would definitely want to become Masters! Don't forget, many people's talents … for example, even if I have Spiritual Beads, I can't break through the Master level in a short period of time! "
Liu Zhiyuan looked at the crowd seriously. "Moreover, there are many Level Nine Spiritual Warriors in this year's competition. These people … could enter the Master level at any time!"
"My god … this is insane. Are they also Year One teams?" Ji Chae Yi asked.
"Most of them are Year Two teams. There are also some Year Three teams," Liu Zhiyuan said.
"Why are Year Three teams joining in? Even if they are in the top 10, they can't participate in the Kingdom High School League, right? "Ji Chae Yi was confused.
"They can't participate, but don't forget, there are rewards for the competition!" Liu Zhiyuan looked at Ji Chae Yi. "As for the empty spots, they will be selected from the teams ranked below the top 10."
"Although the Flying Celestial is a remote planet, there are still top-notch geniuses! For example, Xiao Bai, Si Yin … "Liu Zhiyuan looked at the few of them." Our Hundred Flowers City can produce Wan Xiong, Xiao Bai, and Si Yin. Can't other cities produce geniuses like them? "
His gaze finally fell on Shan Gu.
Shan Gu put his palms together. "Liu, I was wrong. I will reflect on it seriously. I will definitely correct my wrong thinking and treat it seriously …"
Liu Zhiyuan looked at him and said, "I have enough confidence in the Flying Celestial High School League. Although there are a few extremely strong teams, we still have a high chance of winning the championship!"
When the few of them heard this, their breathing quickened.
Championship!
They didn't care about the rewards the most.
However, the championship trophy was something that everyone wanted to hug and hold high!
"During this period, I have not only studied the Flying Celestial High School League, I have also studied the previous High School League."
Liu Zhiyuan said, "Do you want to hear the results of my research?"
"Speak," Shan Gu said.
Ji Chae Yi and Si Yin nodded.
Liu Zhiyuan said, "If we were to compete in the Empire League with our current strength, we would be lucky to make it into the top thirty!"
"It can't be?" Ji Caiyi was shocked.
Shan Gu was also in disbelief. "How is that possible?"
Liu Zhiyuan said, "The rules of the Empire League are different from the Flying Celestial High School League. Only four people can participate in the Flying Celestial High School League. There are no substitutes. However, not only are there substitutes in the Empire League, some of the previous rules have been reinstated. For example, the individual competition! "
"In the individual competition, each team can send out three people to fight one another. Winning will earn one point, and losing will earn zero points."
"In the group battle after the individual competition, the winning team will earn six points. The final score will be based on the sum of the individual and group battle scores. For example, if you win the individual competition but lose the group battle, you will still lose! "
"However, there is another possibility. There will be winners and losers in the individual competition, and a draw in the group battle … This is also possible."
"In the group battle of the Empire League, six people can participate in succession! Four starters and two substitutes. If someone loses, the substitutes can participate at any time. This is a great test of the ability of the formation. Therefore, when the time comes, we will need new blood. "
"The Empire League is a more comprehensive test. We have to obtain information about our opponents before the competition begins. If we fight blindly, it will be very easy for us to lose. In the videos I have seen, there are many people who can easily defeat opponents who are stronger than them through the formation of their formation! "
"Not to mention, the teams from the rich planets are definitely much stronger than we think! In the videos I have seen in the last Empire League, the team that won the championship was a full eight people. Except for the two Advanced Talisman Artist, the other six Spiritual Warriors are all at the Master Realm! "
Everyone couldn't help but gasp. This … is too f * cking scary, isn't it?
"Of course, they also admitted that they relied on Spiritual Beads!" Liu Zhiyuan said, "But the problem is, Shan Gu … if you use Spiritual Beads to force your way up, can you guarantee that you can break through the shackles of the Master Realm?"
The corner of Shan Gu's mouth twitched. He shook his head and said, "No."
Liu Zhiyuan looked at Ji Chae Yi and asked, "Chae Yi, can you?"
Ji Chae Yi also shook her head.
Apart from Si Yin, no one else dared to say something like that.
"Then think about our current level. Si Yin is level eight. When she reaches the Empire League, she might be able to break through to the Master Realm with Spiritual Beads. But what about the two of you? You are both level six Spiritual Warriors. You haven't even reached the Advanced level yet. Where did you get the confidence to fight your way to the top of the Empire League? Xiao Bai risking his life alone? Carrying the entire team by himself? Is that realistic? "Liu Zhiyuan asked.
Shan Gu was silent for a moment. He shook his head and said, "I won't let that happen."
Seeing that he had achieved his goal, Liu Zhiyuan let go of Shan Gu and continued, "Speaking of which, the Flying Immortals League is relatively simple. The competition in the ten divisions is also relatively simple. You just have to eliminate all the teams. First, 70 teams will advance to 35. 35 teams will advance to 18. At that time, one team will be lucky enough to advance to the next round. Then, nine teams will advance to eight matches … The difference this year is that the top three teams will advance to the finals! "
"Previously, only the first team advanced to the finals, right?" Ji Chae Yi asked.
"Yes, previously, only the division champions will advance to the finals. But this year, the top three will advance to the finals. Therefore, the finals of the Flying Immortals League this year will be more intense than before! "Liu Zhiyuan said.
"The thirty teams that will advance to the finals will be divided into two divisions by drawing lots. Then, the elimination round will proceed to eight out of 15 … There will still be one lucky team that will advance to four out of eight. Then, the semifinals, the finals … Finally, the champions of the upper and lower divisions will fight for the overall championship. The runners-up will fight for the third and fourth place."
Liu Zhiyuan looked at the crowd and said, "From now on, I won't be participating in any matches. I will be in charge of all the analysis before the matches, the formation of the teams, and the interviews before and after the matches. All of you … focus on the matches!"
