Although it was called a shop, it looked more like a giant cold weapons museum.
There were quite a few workers wearing the uniform of Dong Ling Heavy Industries, but none of them came up to greet Li Xiang.
He didn't mind, and brought Number One to wander around.
Most of the things hanging on the walls were works of art. Many of them were exquisitely made, but they didn't have much use value. Looking at the style, they were similar to the ancient weapons of the country in his previous life.
The spectating contestants were pointing and discussing in low voices. From time to time, words similar to "ancient history" would come out of their mouths. To them, these civilizations related to the Blue Planet before the destruction were considered ancient history. Few people knew about them, and most of them were just guessing.
Li Xiang lost interest after listening for a while. He sneered and left.
Just as he was about to continue looking for the Origin Substance cold weapons used by Baimiya and the Kuang Tie that day, a voice suddenly rang out from behind him.
"Contestant, this is the VIP area, please stop." A worker with a faint arrogance reached out and pressed down on his shoulder. He didn't use much strength, but his meaning was clear.
Number One's face was filled with anger. This worker's actions were actually very rude. Li Xiang wasn't just a competitor, he was also a cultivator. Most cultivators hated it when others touched their bodies without permission. It would be seen as a provocation and assault.
Knowing this, he still touched Li Xiang. If his actions were investigated, Li Xiang could definitely complain to the Sword Tomb.
Sure enough, a trace of displeasure flashed across Li Xiang's face, but he still suppressed his emotions. He turned around and smiled: "Then may I ask how I can enter the VIP area? The cold weapons here don't suit me."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of cold laughter around him. The one who laughed the most unscrupulously was the uncle sitting at the counter.
Li Xiang noticed that this worker, who didn't understand etiquette, was also looking at the uncle's eyes. It was probably because he was dissatisfied with Li Xiang's sneering when others were discussing the ancient weapons on the wall.
"I'm sorry, but normal contestants are not qualified to enter the VIP area. As for the assessment method, you don't need to know." The uncle walked over from the counter with a look of disdain. "You'd better go look at other shops. This one doesn't suit you."
Number One's gaze gradually turned cold, the people from Zero Tomb were indeed arrogant, but it was rare for them to openly provoke a competitor. She was the one who brought Li Xiang here to watch, but he was treated like this, which made her feel very embarrassed.
"My customer has sufficient strength and wealth to come to Zero Tomb, why do you insist on going to another shop?" Number One had never heard of Zero Tomb having a VIP area. The other party wasn't even willing to tell Li Xiang the assessment method, it was obvious that they were looking down on him.
"Little girl, there are many things that you can't get just because you have money and know how to play. In terms of financial resources and strength, no matter how strong he was, he couldn't compare to Dong Ling Heavy Industry, right? Zero Tomb's test will involve the understanding and research of many ancient weapons, has your little lover reached adulthood? Haha, could it be that at this age, he knows more about ancient weapons than people like us? "
A middle aged man who seemed to be speaking up for them walked over to "kindly" admonish them, but his words were full of sarcasm, especially for Number One who knew Li Xiang's personality well. She couldn't stand it when he was slandered like this.
"Humph, you are violating the rules of the Sky Arena. I will file a lawsuit with the Arbitration Court and see if you are being reasonable." Number One could only use her trump card.
Hearing the words Arbitration Court, the uncle's face changed. If this matter was brought to the Arbitration Court, it would become very troublesome, but he wasn't the real manager of Zero Tomb.
After thinking for a moment, he gave in and said, "Alright then, if you really want to go to the VIP area, then do this test on the spot."
He went back to the counter and took out a yellowed test paper. This was a test set by the real manager of Zero Tomb. Those who passed would become the designated VIP of Zero Tomb. They weren't worried about the questions being leaked, and didn't even change it every year. These questions were always there, but the answers couldn't be found on the market.
Unless you were an ancient history researcher like the manager, you really wouldn't be able to answer.
Seeing him take out the test paper, the competitors at the side all laughed secretly. They couldn't be more familiar with this test paper. Everyone here had taken it at least ten times, and every time they came back defeated. It was too difficult.
Every Zero Tomb had its own manager, and if you wanted to come into contact with its core area, you had to become a VIP recognized by the manager. The test method was different for each one, and the one in the Sky Arena was an ancient weapon fanatic. The questions he set were extremely tricky. Don't talk about passing, even answering one question correctly was difficult.
Number One glanced at the test paper and felt a little regretful. She didn't know anything about the questions. If Li Xiang got one question wrong, not only would he lose face, he would also be ridiculed by the people here. In the end, he could only leave with his tail between his legs. It would be even worse than now.
"Sir Li Xiang …" Number One looked at him.
From then on, Li Xiang had been holding the Polar night communicator and looking at it non-stop. He didn't care about their argument at all, and only looked up when the uncle took out the test paper.
He was contacting Ming Xu. Zero Tomb was her family's military factory, so of course he could get more accurate information from Ming Xu. If it was really good, he didn't mind asking Ming Xu to think of a way to let him into the VIP area.
The person in charge over there seemed to have given me a test paper. I'll just go through the normal procedure. You do what you need to do. See you in October. Oh right, I'm still working on the gun I gave you. You should like it. — — Yes.
Seeing that the other side didn't reply, he simply put the communicator back and focused on the test paper. Since the other side gave him the test method, he wouldn't go through the back door.
It wasn't good to always trouble Ming Xu. After all, he didn't know her position in the Dong Ling family.
He glanced at the yellowed test paper. Good lord, if it was someone else, they wouldn't be able to answer these questions.
It could be seen that the person who made the test paper was very passionate about the history of Blue Planet's ancient weapons. Coincidentally, when he was researching firearms, he had also reviewed the history of ancient weapons, so he was very familiar with this area.
These questions were considered child's play to him. Li Xiang didn't hesitate and picked up the pen to answer them.
He was probably the fastest person to finish the test since the introduction of this test paper. Li Yundong finished it in ten minutes and looked like he was doing it well. Even No. 1 couldn't tell if he was faking it or not.
Li Xiang actually answered the questions, which made her heart jump up and down. She was on tenterhooks and didn't dare to say anything.
"Alright, please take a look." Li Xiang pushed the test paper to the uncle.
The uncle took it and was secretly shocked. He didn't know anything. The one who could really judge the questions was the manager. But now, he couldn't back down. If he told Li Xiang that he couldn't do anything, wouldn't that be slapping himself in the face?
He picked up the test paper and looked at it thoughtfully. Then, he suddenly slammed it on the table.
"What are you writing? It doesn't match. Are you trying to fool us?" The uncle guessed that people of his age wouldn't know, so he just directly sent him away.
Could he really be one of the qualified people?
One had to know that the current Sky Arena's VIP customers were all high-end competitors from the 50th floor and above. Moreover, the average age was above 35 years old. It was unheard of for someone so young.
Seeing him get angry, the others couldn't help but laugh.
Number One's face was slightly red. Could it be that Li Xiang was really writing nonsense to fool people and wanted to get away with it? But she couldn't hate him. He was doing this because she put him in a difficult position and forced him to do the test paper.
"Sir Li Xiang, why don't I bring you to …"
Li Xiang waved his hand. His expression was the same, but the displeasure on his cold face was obvious. He was obviously angered.
"Are you sure I was writing nonsense?" Li Xiang looked into his eyes. He knew the contents of the test paper. Even if there were some mistakes, they were very small. Either the other party was purposely making things difficult for him, or he didn't know the history of ancient weapons.
Being stared directly by Li Xiang, the uncle didn't dare to respond. Of course he was speaking nonsense, but he was sure that Li Xiang didn't know either. But now that he was judged by the staff of Zero Tomb, could he just say it out loud?
Just as he was in a difficult position, an old voice suddenly sounded from the door.
"Since when did Zero Tomb's test paper have to be reviewed by you, Li Xing?"
Li Xiang looked at the door. An old man in his seventies or eighties walked in. His eyes were strong and his aura was heavy. His pressure alone was enough to suppress everyone in the hall.
He was an expert.
Li Xiang already had a certain level of sensitivity towards magic apprentices and magicians. When the old man appeared, he felt a sense of danger. It could be seen that the other party's attainments were not low.
"Sir, Sir Manager …" Li Xing lowered his head and didn't dare to look at him. Why did the manager come back at this time!
"Give me Little Brother Li Xiang's test paper!" The manager angrily snorted. He had just received a message from Miss Ming Xu and rushed back. Dong Ling Ming Xu. This was a name that most of the Dong Ling family's disciples wouldn't have come into contact with. If he hadn't been in Dong Ling Heavy Industry for sixty years, he wouldn't have known of the existence of such a young lady.
She actually sent a message to him for the first time!
"Yes, yes!" Li Xing trembled as he handed the test paper over.
The manager took it in his hands and carefully read it. The more he read, the more shocked he was. Even a fool could see the change in his expression. He was shocked by Li Xiang's answer!
"This …" The manager repeatedly read it for more than ten minutes before asking Li Xiang, "Little Brother Li Xiang, please come to the VIP area. Let's talk there."
He didn't give any feedback, but his rare respect and direct invitation to the VIP area was enough to explain the problem.
The surrounding people were speechless and still hadn't recovered from their shock.
Number One looked at Li Xiang. Her heart was filled with complicated emotions that were indescribable.
"Alright, Number One, follow me." Li Xiang waved at her. Only then did she come back to her senses. She quickly lifted her skirt and followed.
