A company representative stood up and said, "In this competition, we will conduct score rankings based on the value of resources submitted by each association."
"The competition will start later."
"It's preparation time now. Are you all tired from all the hard work?"
"Before we start, we have prepared a sumptuous dinner, accommodation, and training room for everyone to ensure everyone's comfort these days..."
The representative said slowly.
Why?
A question mark popped up in Lu Ming's mind.
Several……
How many days?!
He looked back and saw that the major associations were obviously used to it, and the big guys nodded slightly.
"How many days will this event take?"
He looked at Qiu Shuyi.
"have no idea."
Qiu Shuyi shook her head honestly, "Every time there is such an activity, I refuse it... I usually watch TV at home."
Lu Ming:→_→
have to.
It seems like the question is in vain.
then.
Lu Ming simply asked the representatives of these companies directly.
"Ah, you said this."
The company representative smiled kindly and said, "Is this the first time your association has participated in such an event?"
"yes."
Lu Ming nodded.
"No wonder."
The company representative smiled slightly and explained the activity process to Lu Ming.
Um……
Probably something like this.
In order to protect everyone's privacy, the competition uses a ranking system.
It's probably like this - major associations provide xx resources, they start testing and verifying, and finally give a passing score and publish the ranking.
The last one is eliminated.
This is the first round.
After the scores are announced, those with insufficient scores can continue to add resources... Then the major associations will replenish resources, check again and publish the rankings.
The last one is eliminated.
This is the second round.
Then……
It is refreshed in this way until there is only one association left.
That's roughly it.
Lu Ming:???
Wouldn’t it be better for you to use the auction directly?!
“It’s difficult to evaluate resources through auction.”
A company representative explained.
This is not an auction with money. You add a ticket here and a summoned beast there. How to evaluate it will take a lot of time.
"hehe."
Lu Ming believed your evil deeds.
He finally saw that these people had very dark hearts.
Why use this method?
Because in this way, you can be forced to increase resources over and over again... so that you may be completely cheated without even realizing it.
certainly.
The representatives' words were also very nice - if you feel burdened, you can give up. The ruins are only suitable for those who really come here for it.
It seems...
Developers in any world have dark hearts!
"what to do?"
Li Haoran was very worried.
In order to participate in this event, they brought all the disciples of the association over. Sanchakou College is on holiday!!! What will the school do if we really spend a few days here?
"fine."
Lu Ming rubbed his head and said, "Let me think of a solution."
"Master."
"How about I stay?"
Li Haoran suggested.
"Need not."
Lu Ming waved his hand.
hehe.
Want to cause trouble?
Easy to handle!
then.
In the early preparations for the event, while everyone was resting, Lu Ming took Qiu Shuyi directly to the lounge and met with the senior Seven Star Sword Cultivator.
"that……"
"Senior Sword Cultivator, what resources are you providing?"
"Can it be made public?"
Lu Ming asked directly.
"Ten sword escort opportunities!"
That Seven Star Sword Cultivator doesn't matter.
Everyone knows this kind of thing.
really!
Everyone's hearts trembled.
Sword escort!
This is the ticket for the personal escort of the Seven Star Boss!
Every time, it is equivalent to a seven-star boss taking action!
Ten times a year!
This value...
To know.
These spots are extremely valuable!
If they compete like this in every relic, then the Sword Cultivator Association doesn't have to do anything. It can just escort people every day and fulfill its promise!
It seems...
The Sword Cultivator Association really values this relic very much.
"very good."
Lu Ming looked at other associations and said, "Seniors, do you think the conditions set by the Sword Cultivator Association exceed his? If not..."
"Maybe we won't have to compete at all."
Lu Ming spread his hands.
"without!"
"How does this compare?"
Many associations understood this and gave up.
They were just joining in the fun, but they didn't expect that the Sword Cultivator Association would come up with this big killer, so that other associations would not be able to miss it...
That's the case.
Naturally everyone gave up.
for example--
Our great energy warriors.
“What were the resources you originally provided?”
Lu Ming asked quietly.
"Three opportunities for personal protection."
The energy warrior is proud.
Lu Ming: "..."
Awesome!
You are worse than these developers!!!
If blind investment really happens and other associations give up, and you rely on this to win... I guess those developer representatives will commit suicide.
And unfortunately.
In the long process of competition among energy warriors, I was really fooled once...
A moment of silence for those developers.
In short.
After Lu Ming's inquiry, the dozen or so associations that originally participated in the competition were instantly reduced to four or five.
Narrator: Staff responsible for reception:???
etc.
This situation...
Something doesn't seem right?
What should he do? Report?! But that senior Qiu has a good eye... If he leaves now, will he be cut down...
very scary!
He is just a waiter, oh oh oh...
never mind.
Just carry the plate honestly.
"gentlemen."
"Your fruit."
The waiter put down the fruit plate.
"Um."
Lu Ming took one and took a bite, then looked at everyone, "Is there anyone else competing?"
And this time.
The big bosses of the Summoners Association finally came out.
"Let's do it."
A summoner suddenly said, "Our Summoners Association provides one hundred valuable bloody sacred cows."
"oh?"
Everyone was shocked.
Bloody sacred cow?
This kind of creature is all red in color, and each one carries powerful energy. These cattle are big and small, male and female, and they are obviously a group!
With these...
It can even reproduce countless bloody sacred cows!
According to the information provided by the summoners, these sacred cows are powerful and can look after homes and homes. Their meat is tender and full of rich energy, and can be used as food!
Every part of this sacred cow is a treasure!
Beef liver, beef tendon,...
Everywhere is valuable!
If you could get an entire herd...
Sky-high price!
Still a sky-high price!
certainly.
These herds alone may not be able to exceed the sword cultivator's quota, so the summoners looked at each other and decided to contribute the Xukun they brought this time!
Seven virtual kuns with different characteristics!
Seven colors!
Significance!
"So strong!"
"It seems that the Summoners Association has also spent a lot of money."
The major associations were amazed.
The people sent by their association looked at each other, they all have so much money, what else can you compare with?
forget it.
then.
Almost all the associations that were originally participating gave up and stayed just to see which family it would belong to. At this moment, there are only three Sword Masters Association, Summoner Association, and Sword Card Master Association that are still participating in the competition.
"Your association..."
The Seven-Star Sword Cultivator looked at Lu Ming.
"Seniors, have you ever heard of a return card?"
Lu Ming smiled slightly.
Return card?!
Everyone was shocked.
Of course they have heard that the Return Card is a very popular card recently! In the past few days, almost the entire Internet was discussing it and even asking to buy it!
However.
Price but no market!
In addition, no one has actually seen this card, so we don’t know whether it is authentic or not.
And now...
"You really have?"
Everyone was amazed.
Rumor has it that this card can teleport instantly regardless of threats...
Where are you!
"certainly."
Lu Ming smiled slightly.
Buzz——
The light and shadow in his hand condensed, and the return card appeared.
"Try?"
"good!"
The Seven Star Sword Cultivator nodded slightly.
boom!
boom!
Lines of terrifying sword energy surrounded Lu Ming.
Lu Ming smiled slightly, crushed the card, and instantly disappeared from everyone's sight, appearing at the teleportation array created by the boy in red.
brush!
Everyone's minds were trembling.
real……
You can send it at will!
"How is this card so powerful?"
"yes."
Lu Ming smiled, "I have completed the cooperation with the formation master. In addition, this card is my creation. You can have as many as you want! This is the resource I provide this time!"
brush!
There was silence all around.
Return card...
Is this Lu Ming’s resource?!
True.
Even if the return card can save lives, it may not look domineering with the number of sword escorts. After all, it is the personal protection of the Seven Star Sword Cultivator!
True.
The return card has many restrictions.
but……
This is a card!
Cards mean they can be mass-produced!
Even if the resource value of this card is only half of Sword Escort!
but……
Lu Ming can do it himself!
Of course the cards he researched by himself can be made at will!
Then what?
What do you do to compete with Lu Ming?
If you play ten times, they can have twenty cards! If you play fifteen times, they can have thirty cards! They have no qualifications to compete with Lu Ming!
especially--
Their resources overlap so much with Lu Ming's!
"We give up."
The Seven-Star Sword Cultivator took a deep look at Lu Ming and said, "As expected of President Lu Ming!"
Regarding this.
Lu Ming just smiled slightly.
Then……
It's the Summoners' Association.
Although Lu Ming's cards are very good, they are two completely different types of resources from their herd, so competition is of little significance. It mainly depends on demand!
hehe.
Over at the development company, Mr. Qian’s grandson is a summoner!
He values summoning resources the most!
This is also their confidence!
"Looks like we're the only ones left."
The summoner smiled slightly.
However.
at this time.
A summoner disciple rushed in in panic, "Senior, it's not good, the cow committed suicide!"
"???"
The summoner boss was confused, what do you mean... the cow committed suicide?!
"that is……"
The summoner's disciples were horrified, "We brought one hundred cows by boat from the sea. Halfway through the journey, the cows suddenly jumped off the boat and committed suicide!"
ah?
The boss was so confused that he jumped off the boat and committed suicide?
Why does this sound so magical?!
However.
When the disciple opened the video, he fell silent.
In the video recording, the one hundred noble golden sacred cows they brought lined up one by one and jumped from the deck into the sea...
Yes.
Not just committing suicide, but lining up to commit suicide!
Then……
There's no after that!
Thinking of this, the boss felt cold all over.
He gloated for a long time when he heard that the boat capsized when those idiots from Chuixiu arrived. Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, their cattle were gone...
Where can I go to reason with this?!
"What's the reason?"
"It's not clear. We initially suspect it is mad cow disease infection... It may also be other diseases. The cattle we studied have major flaws in their IQ."
"Women's mouth."
The boss sighed.
What else can they do besides this kind of thing?!
Originally, they bought Moon Shadow Island in order to breed this golden sacred cow on a large scale! Now... they naturally went back to study the data again!
"Feel sorry."
"Everyone."
The boss sighed, "I'm afraid we have to leave first..."
And this time.
The representative for the development of Yueying Island came in high spirits.
"Everyone!"
"Have you rested?"
"Now!"
"I announce that the Yueying Island Ruins Competition has officially begun! All major associations are invited to mark their resources and deliver them to us."
The representative said proudly.
They are very satisfied with the development of Yueying Island this time.
Just look at the big associations coming this time. They are sure that in this competition, they will be able to sell it at a very good price!
Then……
He saw the resources handed over by Lu Ming.
"Announce the results, they have all given up."
Lu Ming smiled.
???
The representative looked confused and looked at the association below.
put……
give up?!
"Um."
The Seven Star Sword Cultivator nodded slightly.
Since he couldn't compete with Lu Ming, he wouldn't waste this time.
But……
It means the mentality is broken.
He quickly looked at the Summoners Association. The big guys in the Summoners Association could only smile bitterly and explain that their cow committed suicide by jumping off the ship, hoping to understand.
represent:???
Who are you fooling?!
I will jump off the ship and commit suicide now to show you, do you believe it or not?!
but.
He is a professional after all.
He quickly calmed down and guessed that Lu Ming had probably negotiated terms with the major associations and persuaded them not to compete. Why not take a look at Lu Ming's terms...
brush!
He opened it and saw ten return cards/year!
very good.
He had heard of this thing and knew that it was valuable, but it was completely different from their initial expectations. How could the competition end in the first round!
Under normal circumstances.
Even if the Sword Cultivator Association sends out ten escorts, they will still get a bonus in each round of competition!
finally……
It might become fifteen or twenty times!
It's possible!
What's going on with Lu Ming's ten cards?
"Please wait."
He wiped his sweat.
for a long time.
He returned to the scene with some confidence.
He looked at the Sword Cultivator Association and the Summoner Association, "As far as I know, one of them is for the trial in the ruins, and the other is for the island, right? So, we discussed it, how about we work together?
!We will also make some concessions as appropriate..."
"for example--"
"Because both resources are needed by us, we will double the points."
The representative said cautiously.
"oh?"
The representative of the Sword Cultivator Association's eyes lit up.
The boss of the Summoners Association who originally planned to leave also stopped.
cooperate……
concession……
Isn’t that exactly what it is?
What the Summoners Association wants is territory cultivation, and what the Sword Cultivators Association wants is the major trials in the ruins. If that's the case, why not cooperate?!
In this 50/50 split, everyone saves half of the resources!
If the points are doubled...
They were moved.
so.
Each of them can achieve their goal by paying only a quarter of their original resources! As for Lu Ming, he has to deal with three of them by himself!!!
Although the return cards are unlimited, the drawing required must be very expensive!
perhaps……
You can fight!
"not good!"
Li Haoran and others' expressions changed drastically.
unacceptable!
The return card that Master studied is for sword escorts. Why should we double their points but not double their cards?!
besides……
The cooperation between the Sword Cultivator Association and the Summoner Association is the most terrifying thing!
No matter how many return cards Master has, he may not be able to compete with them!
Think of this.
Everyone became nervous.
They didn't expect that they would eventually fail because of this...
Because of official favoritism!
But……
Targeted demand and strong associations are part of the reference for competition among relics, so it’s understandable that people clearly give more points to these two companies!
after all.
This ruins was developed by others.
"Master..."
Li Haoran looked at his master.
However.
What surprised him was that even in this situation, the master was so calm.
"Calm down."
Lu Ming smiled slightly.
"oh."
Li Haoran took a deep breath to calm down. Then he remembered something, by the way, where is Senior Sister Xiaobai who came with them?!
He remembers...
Xiaobai has been with Master before?
"Master, where is Xiaobai?"
"Going to take care of the cows."
"ah?"
Li Haoran was at a loss.
ox……
What cow?
And this time.
The bosses of the Sword Cultivator Association and the Summoner Association have already discussed it. Cooperation is indeed the best way. Perhaps, we can also fight for it.
then.
The two of them made a decision, "In that case, we..."
Company representatives already showed joy.
However.
at this time……
boom!
A dark shadow flashed across the sky.
Um?!
The bosses suddenly raised their heads, and then discovered in horror that in the distance, a huge creature flashed through the void and landed several kilometers away...
boom!
There was a loud noise.
The sea water roars and sweeps towards the island!
The sea level increased by tens of meters and almost submerged the island...
certainly.
These are not the point.
The seawater surged past and had dissipated, but what shocked people was why there were such terrifying creatures near this small island!!!
