When Jiang Chen opened his eyes again, the edge of his body began to subside, and the aura of his body quickly dissipated, and soon became the same as usual.
"It takes some time to adapt to the power he has."
"The higher the attribute points consumed, it means that the improvement brought by the upgrade is definitely beyond his imagination!"
Jiang Chen swallowed a sip of water and slowly changed into a new set of red clothes. He felt hungry now, very hungry!
He knew that adding points to its attributes would consume too much of its muscles.
There were more than four thousand taels in his pocket, and he planned to have a big meal. Jiang Chen couldn't wait and opened the door. A month later felt like a lifetime ago!
One night passed, and Jiang Chen's strength during that period of time improved significantly compared to his previous year of training.
He had asked for leave from the Yamen three days ago. Jiang Chen took a deep breath and walked out of the room, feeling a strange sense of peace in his heart while listening to the noise around him.
"Spicy guy!"
“skewered meatballs!”
"meat ball with soy sauce!"
"What a handsome young man, I don't know how many ladies will be charmed by his appearance."
"I heard that Mingyue, the shopkeeper of Mingcui House, is holding a big eating competition. It is said that the registration fee alone costs twenty taels of silver."
Is twenty taels of silver a huge amount of money, but it's just the registration fee?
"No, no, twenty taels of silver is so expensive, who would go to participate!"
"Then I don't understand. The ingredients used in the Big Eater Competition held by Mingcui House are not delicacies from the mountains and seas."
"Twenty taels of silver is really a steal for them!"
"Hurry up and go and have a look!"
"It is said that Xia Shuyao, the three-time champion, will also participate!"
"..."
"Big Eater Competition." As soon as Jiang Chen walked out of the room, he heard several young people discussing the matter of Mingcui Tower.
His eyes lit up, Mingcui Building was the place he wanted to go to, and whether Mingcui Building was also the place where Zhui Feng Hall was located. Jiang Chen thought about it and quickly made a decision.
Since you want to take over Zhuifeng Hall, you must first meet the people of Dongzhuifeng Hall.
"Given his age, the people of Zhuifeng Hall may not be able to obey his orders." Jiang Chen knew that joining Zhuifeng Hall would definitely encounter a lot of resistance.
If anyone is dissatisfied, suppress them all. After his strength reaches half a step of concentration, Jiang Chen has a unique aura in his body, which can have a perfect deterrent effect on those who are not determined.
"First go and meet the manager of Dongmingcui Building."
"By the way, check out the so-called Big Eater Competition. You will definitely be full."
Jiang Chen followed a few people and soon arrived in front of a magnificently decorated restaurant.
Cuiming Tower.
It is an elegant and noble towering building, with vermilion walls, majestic doors, round classical arch windows and corner stone masonry, all showing elegance and splendor.
It’s full of romance and solemnity! There are so many people inside and it’s so lively.
"The game will end in a quarter of an hour. If you miss the bright moon, you will have to wait for another year. What are you hesitating about?"
“The prize money is coming to us!”
At the door, there was a middle-aged man in rich clothes with a smile on his face. He had a goatee and looked energetic.
"Brother, you can tell if you are a gifted person just by looking at me. Why don't you come and try something?"
"Twenty taels of silver is enough for him to live for a few years, so then the registration fee will be waived."
"What do I know? The ingredients used just that time were very rich, and twenty taels are definitely worth it."
"It is said that the prize money that time was very generous, and the first place could even get a thousand taels of red silver!"
"With those one thousand taels, it will be enough for him to live for several lifetimes." A man in plain clothes said with longing.
"I don't want to think about whether Xia Shuyao, who has won the three-time championship in that competition, can win again."
"There are many strong men from other places who come here for their fame. How can it be my turn?" an old man said in a disdainful tone.
Jiang Chen looked at the sea of people around him and was secretly surprised.
"You can eat it with an open stomach. If you win, you will get a thousand taels of red silver. It's worth a try." Jiang Chen heard this, his eyes showed excitement, and he squeezed in.
His power was so great that many people were squeezed behind him by Jiang Chen without even reacting.
A middle-aged man with a sinister expression in the crowd was squeezed behind Jiang Chen. He stared at Jiang Chen's back with a look of displeasure on his face.
I don't know what I was thinking of, so I smiled evilly.
"I asked for it myself." Then he pretended to squeeze away, not to mention leaning against Jiang Chen's back without leaving any trace.
"No one wants to be squeezed."
"Oops." The big man yelled a few times to himself. Taking advantage of the gap, he showed a successful smile, secretly used his strength, and elbowed Jiang Chen hard on the back.
"Crack." The big man looked ferocious and was about to laugh, but his elbow made a crisp click sound. He felt as if he had touched a hard iron plate.
"Ahhhh." The big man couldn't help but howl in pain, but his figure was quickly drowned by the crowd.
Jiang Chen felt as if something had hit him on the back, but he didn't pay attention and quickly squeezed to the front.
"He begged to sign up!"
"Name?" When the goat-bearded old man heard this, he quickly picked up the twenty-two silver notes in Jiang Chen's leg and asked with a smile on his face.
"Jiang Chen."
"Little brother, once the registration is confirmed, the twenty taels of silver will not be refunded." He looked at Jiang Chen's thin face and couldn't help but speak.
The other contestants all had thick legs or fat guys, but the guy in front of him looked like he didn't have much flesh on his body. He felt that he needed to remind the guy kindly.
"Isn't that natural?" Seeing Jiang Chen nodding seriously, the goatee man couldn't help but frown.
"This man is dressed in ordinary clothes. His total clothing does not exceed half a tael, and he does not have a few kilograms of meat. He looks like a poor boy at first glance. He must have saved a lot of time for those 12 taels.
Should I come here to compete with Xia Shuyao?" Thinking of that, Zou Youcai couldn't help but look down upon him a little.
He has seen that kind of people a lot, so why do some people always feel good about him?
Isn't it good to recognize the reality? Why bother to do such stupid things!
"Now that you know it, you should recognize your own level. I have been saving the twenty silver coins for a long time. Are you sure you want to participate? With my body, I will be wiped out in the first round." Zou Youcai
Shaking his head, he planned to give the boy a chance.
"Young man, if you don't listen to the old man, you will suffer the consequences." Zou Youcai couldn't help but touch his goat's beard. He rarely shut up so easily.
When Jiang Chen heard this, he couldn't help but feel it was a little funny. Doesn't that make it clear that he looked down on himself?
Jiang Chen felt that he was absolutely wrong, so he had to make a good performance so that he could afford the twenty taels of silver.
"Thank you, old man, for reminding me. Zaidong has made up his mind."
"Hmph, then follow me." Zou Youcai looked at Jiang Chen and couldn't help but snorted, just don't cry out when the time comes.
After successfully registering, Jiang Chen received a round wooden sign the size of a palm with "一四九" written on it.
"One hundred and forty-eight people signed up in front of him. It seems that Ming Cui Lou gained 2,980 taels just from the registration fee."
"Not to mention that kind of publicity method, which made the name of Mingcui House more popular. The shopkeeper of Mingcui House has something special."
The exterior pavilions, pavilions, ponds, pavilions, and waterside pavilions of Mingcui Tower are reflected in the green pines and cypresses; rockeries, grotesque rocks, flowerbeds, bonsais, vines, and green bamboos are all dotted here and there.
It has a unique artistic conception, simple yet elegant, simple and atmospheric.
It is a five-story building with four hollow areas in the center leading straight to the top.
There are independent elegant private rooms on the second floor and above, and you can clearly see the central hollow area.
There is a screen to block everyone's view, and there are several graceful women's figures, looming and touching.
Chimes, ancient music, and natural sounds allow all visitors to experience a unique tranquility.
In a world where even survival is difficult, the only people who can come there to spend money are wealthy people.
The lobby area on the first floor of Mingcui Building is very large, and it is surrounded by people who come to watch the game. In the center of the hall, there are two to three hundred red square tables. The square tables are very large, four meters long and three meters wide.
At the center of each square table, there is a wooden sign placed on a circular base with red numbers written on it.
That represents the number of the leg selected for the competition. At this time, many people of all kinds have walked in the center of the hall.
Most of them are thick and thick, and some even have thicker thighs than Jiang Chen's waist.
Jiang Chen saw that a fat man among them broke a wooden chair because he was too heavy, so Mingcuilou had to arrange an iron chair with stronger endurance for him.
When many people saw Jiang Chen being so thin, their eyes flashed with undetectable disdain.
With such a small body, he actually has the courage to participate in the competition. Maybe there is something wrong with his brain.
Jiang Chen was brought to the square table with the number "一四九" written on it by a young boy in gray.
"Sir, please take a short rest. The game will officially start later."
"Thank you, little brother." Jiang Chen stuffed a piece of broken silver into the leg of the young man in gray without leaving any trace.
The young man in gray clothes' eyes lit up and he went to express his thanks respectfully.
Facing the young man's thanks, Jiang Chen waved his legs and didn't take it seriously.
"Is he the one who should say thank you? Say hello to our shopkeeper for him. Is he really a kind person?" The young man in gray looked confused, and then stopped paying attention.
"We'll go after we're full." Jiang Chen raised his head and glanced in the direction of the fifth floor, and then stopped paying attention. Besides, the time he agreed to meet was very early, so he could make plans after he was full.
