In order to stay in City One and not be discovered by City One's Intelligence Bureau and Yang Xu, Gao Qi had put in a lot of effort.
If he were to secretly stay here, he might really be targeted. However, if Gao Qi took the initiative to expose himself and reveal his identity as a metahuman of the lowest level, no one would pay special attention to him.
This was because City One's Intelligence Bureau knew that Zhaoxi Huo was a magician from another world and that Gao Qi had no ability at all.
When City One was preparing for the Ability Fighting Competition, Gao Qi was still Zhaoxi Huo. City One had specially sent people to ask for his opinion and invited him to participate in the competition. Therefore, Gao Qi certainly knew when the competition would be held and the rules of the competition. Other than not knowing where to buy the tickets, he really knew everything.
The money he exchanged in City One last time was still in his card, so Gao Qi had the card and money, but he certainly could not use it. Therefore, Gao Qi had to use gold, and he had to exchange it for currency.
Since he was going out, he naturally had to bring gold. Although this was outside the city, there were still exchange points. Therefore, Gao Qi stingily exchanged for 50 grams of gold. Moreover, when he was exchanging for gold, he had to show a proud country bumpkin temperament. It really required some acting skills.
After exchanging the gold for cash, he had to find a hotel. There were no five-star hotels, and it was good enough to stay in the five-star hotels provided for the desolate people who had just entered the city.
In the end, Gao Qi chose a hotel that was considered high-end outside the city and had no foundation in the inner city. It was sturdy, small, and simple, but it had a TV, a private bathroom, and a double room where one could take a bath.
Gao Qi did not have high requirements for accommodation, but with his current strength, living in such a basic room was still a choice for hiding, but for Wang Ming Yuan, he seemed to be very satisfied.
The information he needed now could be seen directly from the TV. For example, the venue of the Ability Fighting Competition had been completed, and the location was 20 kilometers outside the city. Why would the competition be held outside the city? It was because they were worried that those super strong people would fight and destroy the city if they could not control it.
Whether it was watching the news, advertisements, or the special program of the first Arcana Competition on the sports channel, it was rewarding to watch anything.
On the opening day of the Esper Tournament, all four A-class experts would attend the opening ceremony. Then, the representatives of the various cities, mainly the City Lords, would also attend the opening ceremony. Most importantly, Bernhard would also attend.
Then, the Arcanist Tournament would be divided into three parts. The main part would be the City Tournament, the Individual Tournament, and an additional Unrestricted Combat Tournament.
The individual competition was a one-on-one battle, while the city competition was a three-man team competition.
However, what Gao Qi was most interested in was this unrestricted competition. This was because there were no restrictions in this competition. As long as both sides had no objections, the competition could be carried out. Any individual weapon could be used, even weapons and equipment operated by a single person could be used.
The introduction of the unrestricted fighting tournament was very brief because the rules and competition system were very simple. However, the simpler the rules and competition system, the more possibilities there were.
Gao Qi even suspected that this unrestricted fighting tournament was the main event of the Ability Fighting Competition held by City No. 1. It was a typical case of hanging a sheep's head to sell dog meat, using the name of a competition to show the strength of each city, from individual martial strength to technological strength.
It was obvious that City No. 1 did not have any powerful Arcanists, and their genetic technology was only so-so. If they really wanted to show the level of City No. 1 as the strongest city in terms of technological strength, they could only use this additional unit.
Gao Qi could not guess what City No. 1's trump card was, but he believed that City No. 1 was definitely researching how to deal with Arcanists and genetic warriors.
After temporarily gaining a foothold in City No. 1, and no one came to find him for two days, Gao Qi was basically relieved.
In three days, the Ability Fighting Competition would begin. Gao Qi felt that he could completely hide until the start of the competition. At that time, it did not matter whether Yang Xu or City No. 1's Intelligence Bureau discovered his arrival or not.
A total of fifty-one cities were participating in this competition. Twenty-three of them were cities in China. Gao Qi was concerned about Apple City, Red Square, Iron Tower City, and Jinling City, the cities with the four strongest Arcanists, were all participating.
However, Class A Arcanists would only attend as guests and would not directly participate in the competition. Therefore, these four cities with the strongest Arcanists would only participate in the city competition, and no one would participate in the individual competition.
City of Angels would also participate. To Gao Qi's surprise, the leader of City of Angels was Tom!
Gao Qi's first disciple, the first disciple of the Heaven Defying Faction, and of course, the first traitor of the Heaven Defying Faction, Tom, would represent City of Angels in the competition.
Gao Qi really wanted to say that the world was too small.
Of course, Gao Qi was most concerned about Chaoxi City.
Chaoxi City would also participate in the competition. Gao Qi could even see the list of participants from Chaoxi City on TV. As expected, the team leader was Han Ruofeng, the vice-leader was Huang Fei, and then there were five participants. When the time came, the real participants would be selected from a total of seven teams.
Now that it was confirmed that they would participate in the competition, the city that did not have a list of participants was Technology City.
With Bernhard's influence and the importance of the Arcana Detector, Technology City might be the city with the most attention after City No. 1. However, Technology City still did not have a list of participants, which made many people curious.
Also, although there were no Class A Arcanists in Technology City, Bernhard himself was the president of the Arcana Research Association. Gao Qi did not doubt that besides himself, Bernhard was the person with the deepest understanding of Arcana in the world. Therefore, Technology City's team must be one of the strongest. If the Class A Arcanists did not participate in the competition personally, then the strongest contender for the city competition would be Technology City.
There was one more person, Grandpa Tree.
Gao Qi wanted to know where Grandpa Tree was. The people of City No. 1 wanted to know where he was. Everyone in the world wanted to know where he was, but no one knew. Grandpa Tree only said that he would participate in the Arcana Competition on time, but no one knew how he would appear.
Ever since Gao Qi asked Grandpa Tree to study the Tao Te Ching and let him leave the city to travel more in the wilderness, Grandpa Tree left Jinling City and never appeared in front of the world again.
Everyone wanted to know if Grandpa Tree had broken through the natural barrier of Arcanists, if he had broken through the boundary of Class A Arcanists.
There was no doubt that the Arcana Competition in City No. 1 was the first international competition held by humans after the Cataclysm. It was a grand event and also a stage to show off one's strength. Gao Qi was prepared to cause trouble at this event and kill Bernhard in front of the whole world.
