Senior sister, have you sold swords today?

Chapter 31 One of a Hundred Talent Contest
Seeing that Shiyi had changed careers, Chunqing went with her to prevent her from being tricked into signing a contract of sale by unscrupulous businessmen.

Wandering in the bustling market, Shi Yi was still confused even though it was said that she was working part-time. She went around asking the store if they were hiring, but as soon as they saw that she was a weak little girl, they refused without saying a word.

As the two of them walked, they came to an entertainment street. As the name suggests, the stores on this street are mainly engaged in entertainment projects. There are Sumo Wrestling and Drunken Boxing in martial arts, Feihua Ling and Qishui Shang in Wen, and even more sports. Hit Ju Shuang Lu and so on.

There was no rush to find a job anyway, so Shi Yi, who was very curious, took Chunqing in to watch the game.

But she didn't know it by looking at it, and she was shocked by it. No wonder the street was crowded with people. Even she was fascinated by the exciting and exciting competitions, silently cheering for the side she supported.

Especially after a Fei Hua Ling competition, Shi Yi felt that her cultural knowledge had greatly improved, and she felt sweat dripping from her palms.

"As expected, he is from the city, and he only cares about flowers!"

This sentence was her sincere admiration.

Chunqing's eyebrows arched and she smiled and said, "Senior sister, do you want to watch a more beautiful game?"

Shi Yi asked with bright eyes: "Is there any more interesting competition?"

Chunqing thought for a while and said: "Today's date is the end of the month. If I remember correctly, the final day of the cream of the crop is today."

"One in a hundred?" Shi Yi muttered these words.

Chunqing nodded: "Yes, to be specific, it is a large-scale talent competition. The venue is at the innermost part of this entertainment street. I will take you there to have a look."

At first, Yi thought that the competition was similar to the competitions she had just seen. But when she arrived, she was amazed just by seeing the huge, vast, sophisticated and detailed competition venue.

Chunqing then explained the situation to her.

The One in a Hundred Talent Competition was funded by the Prince of Xixia to build the venue and host the competition, with the purpose of selecting talented people who are strategic and courageous.

However, rumors revealed that it was because Xixia was too peaceful and the prince was bored, so he held this kind of entertainment-oriented talent competition. Firstly, it was for his own entertainment, and secondly, it was for the convenience of the people to have fun. This became popular among the people.

The talent contest has five events, which also represent five rounds of levels, namely musical instruments, singing and dancing, chess, riding and shooting, and others.This other event is not only the fifth round, but also the final challenge. The challenger will choose one of the ten alternative events and then face off against the winner of that event.

Each competition event is also determined based on the mainstream hobbies of today's people. In this way, everyone will be willing to spend ticket money to watch the competition, and challengers from all over the world will participate in the competition, and the organizers can also make money to continue development.

The rules of the game are that you need to pay a pass-through fee to participate in each level. The bonus is upgraded after each level. You can choose to stop passing the level and take the bonus, or continue the game. If you lose, all the bonus will be cleared.At the last level of the arena, the person who successfully defends the arena or successfully kicks the arena will win the ultimate prize.

If you don’t want to pay several rounds of entry fees and still want to win the ultimate prize, there is another exciting way to play, which is to participate in the sponsorship competition.

In the first round of registration, there is no need to pay entry fees. Instead, each group of players uses their own outstanding performance to attract investors in the audience. Of course, there is a minimum bidding price, and then investors control the risk and invest to select the players.

During this period, there will be multiple investors bidding for a player, but the one with the highest price will win.

After that, the successfully funded players will directly participate in the second round.

As for the transaction amount, it will be temporarily stored in Bailiyiyi. If the player succeeds in the challenge, the investor will receive double the bidding price, and the player will get the ultimate prize.If you lose, all the transaction amount will be used to deduct the player's entry fee.

The cream of the crop talent competition rotates every two months and there is no revival competition.After listening to Chunqing's detailed explanation, although Shi Yi was still a little confused, he basically understood.

Since challengers come from all over the world, there may be more than one player participating in the challenge.

The two stood at the ticket counter. Chunqing looked at the sign hanging on the wall, which contained detailed information about the game and venue.

In the first group of the arena competition, venue one, the challenger Liang Xiaotian faced off against the challenger Pipa Fairy Liu Yanyan.

The second group of the arena competition, venue two, the challenger Zhao Laosi faced off against the master painter Zhang Dayi.

The third group of the arena competition, the third venue, the challenger Durian vs. the master swordsman madman Luo Sifan.

……

Chunqing was a little confused and asked: "Sister, which game do you want to watch?"

Shi Yi raised her eyes and noticed that the third group of competitions was a swordsmanship duel, so of course she was watching this group.

After buying the tickets, the two followed the route guide signs to venue three.

The competition area is a pre-demarcated space. There is a circle of guards under the stage to maintain order and protect the safety of spectators. Two-story luxury rest areas are built on the left and right of the high stage.

Shi Yi looked at the high platform on the second floor that was covered by bead curtains. There were figures walking around. Because the spectators were crowded and noisy, she could only lean into Chunqing's ear and ask: "Junior brother, those sitting over there will judge who wins. The judge who lost?"

Chunqing looked in the direction she pointed at and smiled back: "How can a judge be in that position? The people sitting over there are either relatives of the emperor or high-ranking officials."

At this time, the host announced the start of the competition. Shi Yi didn't think much more and concentrated on watching the sword fight. The condition for victory was that as long as one side's sword could scratch the opponent, regardless of the size of the wound, as soon as blood was seen, the competition would be terminated immediately. Declare victory or defeat.

This winning condition is easy to say and difficult to say.Therefore, the attacker, Durian, and the main opponent, Sword Master and Madman Luo Sifan, were testing each other in the first half. Neither of them fully launched an attack, and they were basically in a semi-defensive state.

Just staying in the audience and watching, Shi Yi was very worried, let alone the players who were competing.

She had questions again, and spoke in Chunqing's ear: "Speaking of which champion named Luo Sifan, who claims to be a Sword Saint fanatic, which Sword Saint is he referring to?"

Chunqing smiled and said softly: "Sister, you should know Fang Qingjing, one of the three great swordsmen alongside our master. Fang Qingjing was nicknamed the Sword Master, but he has long been hidden from the world, so much so that Rose is a fan. I was rejected many times as a disciple of him, so in the end I could only teach myself and called myself a Juggernaut fanatic, which means a true fan of Juggernaut.”

Shi Yi was stunned and almost laughed, smacking her lips and saying, "It seems that this big brother Luo Si is also a sweetheart."

Chunqing continued: "However, when Luo Sifan first arrived in the capital, he came to Yiming Pavilion to provoke, but my master ignored him. Later, he made trouble in the city for a long time, and finally the eldest princess arranged for him to test swordsmanship here. He only stopped doing the work. By the way, although the Crown Prince is sponsoring the One Hundred Competition, the eldest princess also contributes money. It seems that most of these champions are the eldest princess’s people.”

Princess?
Shi Yi tilted her head and thought for a few seconds, and then she remembered that she had heard about this distinguished person from the young lady who served her when she went to the Wan Zhong Wu Yi branch in Yuguan.

She unconsciously looked at the high platforms on the left and right, wondering if there might be the eldest princess sitting there at the moment.
