Nangang City is the most prosperous first-tier city in the southern part of Stargazing Country.
Compared to the cold in the north, the season in the south is the warmest.
During this period, Nangang City has welcomed a large number of tourists.
There are many high-rise buildings with all kinds of shining lights. In the city center, a building with a height of 400 meters stands out from the crowd. This is the second-ranked building in the stargazing country and the fourth-ranked building in the world - Fengshen Building.
It is contracted by Nangang Group, whose headquarters is located here.
On the top floor of Fengshen Building, behind an antique desk sat a middle-aged man with an elegant face and easy-going temperament.
A pair of girls are sitting on chairs on the other side of the office.
"How are the preparations for the Poseidon Festival going?" Shen Hansheng asked.
The woman on the left with long hair shawl, wearing a long black dress, and a cold temperament said, "We have already made preparations and are waiting for the opening ceremony tomorrow. There are a total of 16,452 people who have signed up."
"There are more than 2,000 people who signed up this time than last year. I heard that many of them came for you, sister." Sitting on the right, with short shoulder-length hair, white short-sleeved upper body, and denim shorts.
The girl with her slender snow-white legs crossed and a smile on her face joked.
"No matter how many people sign up, you have to handle it well this time. When this matter is done, I can delegate more rights to you in front of the clan elders, but first you have to do it beautifully." Shen
Han Sheng said to his eldest daughter.
"Yes." Shen Tan nodded, indicating that he knew.
"Shen Ying, you should help your sister share her worries when you have time, instead of playing all day long." After Shen Hansheng finished speaking, he turned to look at his little daughter.
"It's none of my business!" Shen Ying opened his eyes wide. "I'm still in high school! High school! And my sister is so powerful. She can definitely handle it by herself. I might not be a help."
"Well, Shen Ying's coming here is indeed a disservice." Shen Tan nodded.
Shen Ying curled his lips.
Shen Hansheng chatted with the two sisters for a while, mainly about work matters for Shen Tan, and about academic matters for Shen Ying.
After the chat, the sisters came out of the office.
In the private elevator, Shen Ying glanced at her sister, "I knew that Shen Hansheng would do nothing good by calling me here. I ranked fourth in the grade in the final exam, and he told me to study hard and strive to get first place."
"Because I was number one in high school, he might think you are as smart as me." After saying this, the corners of Shen Tan's mouth rose.
Shen Ying's eyes widened and he screamed in anger. He jumped on Shen Tan and hugged her like a koala, "Shen Tan, I'll crush you to death!"
The two sisters struggled for a while, and when the elevator approached the second floor below, they let go with a tacit understanding.
I straightened my clothes and walked out of the elevator without changing my expression.
"By the way, sister, do you have a list of the contestants who will participate in the competition this time?"
Shen Ying approached her sister and asked in a low voice.
"No." Shen Tan glanced at her sister, "If you fall in love, I can ask my father to help you choose a fiancé."
"No way!" Shen Ying quickly denied that she was just gossiping.
"Next time you want to go out to play, I'll cover you!" Shen Ying said quickly.
Shen Tan paused and looked at his sister.
"Really." Shen Ying raised her head and raised her chest, extremely proud.
...
In the car, Shen Ying glowed with the booklet in his hand. This was a dark horse contestant specially compiled by Shen Tan.
In fact, the annual Neptune Festival is not only an event, but also a huge gambling party.
For ordinary people who do not participate in the Neptune Festival, this is another great pleasure.
In order to make better profits, Nangang Group will also collect lists of potential players of various colors.
Of course, even so, it is impossible to collect all players, so there will still be a large number of dark horses appearing every year.
Turn to the first page.
'Qin Guan, Qin Family, the Imperial Capital. He is twenty-three years old and is in the fourth level of the Nine Star Realm. He is known as the youngest grandmaster in the country. He has mastered the eight-sided King Qin Sword and has reached the true meaning.'
'Pang Feiyu, from the Pang family in the northwest, is twenty-two years old and is in the third realm of the Nine Star Realm. He has practiced both internal and external skills. His specific martial arts is unknown, but he has mastered at least one artistic conception level martial arts.'
...
"Wow, sister, these people are so powerful. How do they practice?" Shen Ying marveled. "Sister, you seem to be only at the first level of the Nine Star Realm."
These people are not necessarily handsome, but they are definitely very temperamental.
To put it more scientifically, as warriors continue to make breakthroughs, the magnetic field on a person's body will continue to strengthen. In a crowd, people with strong magnetic fields are more likely to attract attention.
'Chen Xing, from the Tuoba family in Qingzhou, is seventeen years old and is in the eighth of the ten martial arts realms. He was killed and seriously injured by a cult master a year ago. He should practice external martial arts.'
On page 22, Chen Xing’s name appeared.
"Hey, the tenth level of martial arts kills the warriors of the nine-star level?" Shen Ying was surprised, "Are you only seventeen years old? Looking at this photo, I thought I was twenty-seven... But the breakthrough in martial arts cultivation is a little slow.
A little bit..."
Normally, for geniuses from martial arts families, they should break through to the tenth level of martial arts before the age of eighteen.
Then start polishing to break through the Nine Star Realm.
You are only in the eighth realm at the age of seventeen. It will take at least several years to break through to the tenth realm. You may be able to try to break through the nine-star realm at the age of twenty-two, thirty or four.
Compared to a true genius, it is much slower.
Shen Ying felt sorry for a moment, and then turned to the next page.
The Shen family is a family of merchants, and merchants pursue profits. If they don't have much value, naturally they don't need to pay too much attention to them.
...
In the early morning, after washing up, Che Ning came out of the five-star hotel. He was surrounded by many young people who were much older than him.
It seems that there are quite a few people like me who are seventeen years old and come to participate.
Chen Xing thought silently in his heart.
The other young people on both sides couldn't help but secretly look at Chen Xing.
'This guy is too old!'
'Is he under twenty-four? He looks stronger than my dad.'
When we came to the beach, the salty sea breeze blew in our face.
Employees of the Nangang Group were lined up at the port, and wooden boards were erected on the port behind.
0—100,101—200,201—300......
In the port behind, all the large ships that were parked here yesterday were gone, leaving only a dense collection of small white sailing ships.
There are two oars on the small sailboat.
At a glance, on the blue sea, tens of thousands of white boats are like cloud spots falling on the sea.
In the sky, a large number of drones hovered overhead to take pictures.
The Poseidon Festival is a very popular festival in coastal areas because it is quite interesting. And not only that, there are also many audiences in the inland who like this kind of program.
As early as a few days ago, Chen Xing had already logged in to verify his identity online. His was number 1451. Chen Xing followed the number and walked at the port.
It didn't take long for me to find my corresponding position.
On the sea, these small boats are connected one to another, and there are ropes tied to each other. As the waves rise and fall, the boats also shake slightly.
Many people around him had already started to jump on the boat. Fortunately, no one had the embarrassing incident of falling into the water. Otherwise, if a warrior fell into the water in a place like this, it would be a disgrace to the whole country.
I walked to my boat easily. The white boat was not big. In addition to two oars, there was a white bag on it.
Open the pocket and there is something like a firework tube inside - a rescue firework.
There is also a large bucket of bottled water.
Finally, there is a tablet that displays the ship and a nearby sea level map.
