Chapter 1004 Reward
Chapter 1004 Reward
The audience entered one after another. In a few minutes, Xiang Nan's left and right sides were already filled with people.
A few minutes later, an entire row of maids, dressed in uniform, holding trays in their hands, walked in neat steps and filed towards Xiang Nan.
The tray in the first maid's hand was filled with iced fruit wine and a few delicate desserts that looked very expensive.
On the tray in the second maid's hand was a towel for wiping the sweat and two plates of cut fruit.
The third maidservant placed it in her hand …
The entire row of maids stood in the crowded aisle, respectfully facing Xiang Nan. At the same time, they bowed slightly to Xiang Nan, as if they had bowed respectfully.
"Are they all for me?" Xiang Nan pointed at his nose and asked curiously.
The first maidservant nodded with a respectful smile, "If you don't have enough, just give us your orders. As long as you don't exceed our capabilities, we will try our best to satisfy your needs."
The spectators around Xiang Nan were speechless.
"My god, is that blue crystal fruit on the plate! It really is blue crystal fruit!"
"I heard that this thing only grows in certain plantations in the extreme cold of the north, and the annual mass production does not exceed 10,000!"
Another spectator licked his lips and sniffed the fragrance of the wine in the air. "The 150-year-old Heavenly Palace Intoxication. I remember that last time when Amethyst City celebrated its 500-year anniversary, only 20 jars were opened. Only those with distinguished status could taste it."
The people here were indeed knowledgeable. They immediately called out the names of the things on the trays. Xiang Nan had never even heard of these things.
He only knew a lot about martial arts, but he didn't know much about the delicacies of a mortal world like this.
Xiang Nan looked at the audience beside him and coveted the delicacies so much that he smiled and said, "Divide them up for everyone. I can't eat them by myself."
"Yes." The maids immediately distributed the items in their hands to the spectators nearby.
The audience laughed from ear to ear. They all nodded and bowed towards Xiang Nan, wishing they could rush forward and pinch his shoulders.
"Alright, let's go down. Without my orders, there's no need to come back." Xiang Nan waved his hand.
Only then did the maids nod with a smile and flew away.
"Little brother, no, little hero, what is your background?" A spectator approached and chuckled, "Are you a relative of the royal family? Or the young master of some great figure on our steel continent?"
Xiang Nan didn't want to talk too much with them and said, "Look, it's about to start."
Seeing that Xiang Nan didn't want to talk much, the more people felt that his status was extraordinary, so they didn't dare to greet him frequently.
Xiang Nan sat in his seat and kept playing with the storage card in his sleeves. He thought to himself, this item seems to be extremely heavy and can bring him many unexpected benefits. If he could make good use of it, it should be convenient for him to do many things.
Soon, the opening ceremony of the competition officially began.
Ten commentators from the scene filed into the arena. They held a small loudspeaker in their hands, and the loudspeaker was painted with a loud-enlarged profound dao diagram.
Every time he spoke, the formation on the horn would light up slightly and spread the sound to the entire audience, so that everyone could hear him.
"Today is a good day for the Amethyst City Athletic Tournament. Thank you, guests and friends …"
The ten commentators stood in different corners, chatting and teasing each other, making the audience laugh, while saying some insignificant polite words.
After they finished chatting, the puppet squadron would appear on the stage.
The neatly dressed squad members walked into the arena with neat steps, while the spectators cheered wildly.
There were a total of 100 teams participating in the competition, 50 of them representing 50 provinces on the Iron and Steel Road.
There were no other ten teams, and they were composed of the private forces of great figures, representing the nobles of the Iron and Steel Continent.
Each team had their own team name and their own combat puppets.
"Please, Dongling Province Guild!"
A group of combat team members entered the arena, followed by a corresponding number of combat puppets. Those combat puppets took a unified step, and their bodies were painted with patterns representing the provincial emblem of Dongling Province.
Squads kept coming in until the appearance of a squad attracted Xiang Nan's attention.
"Please come out, Su Ran's squad!"
At this moment, the cheers of everyone present reached their peak!
Ten tall and handsome youths lifted their proud heads high and entered the arena.
Behind them were ten ten ten-meter-tall combat puppets. These puppets were carrying ten-meter-tall sabers on their backs, and their bodies were painted with beautiful patterns of phoenix tails.
"Miss Su Ran also has a squad?" Xiang Nan curiously asked an audience member.
"Of course! Miss Su Ran is a first-class fan of the puppet tournament, don't you know? Singing can only be ranked second in her hobby. This is the puppet tournament."
Another spectator greedily ate the Blue Crystal Fruit as he interrupted, "That's right. Only people with Miss Su Ran's status are qualified to form their own puppet squad."
Xiang Nan felt that it was quite interesting. He rubbed his chin and looked at Su Ran's squad incessantly.
The members of the squad were all twenty-five or sixteen years old, and they were at the peak of their youth.
The figures of these people were extremely well-proportioned. It could be said that there was not a single bit of extra flesh on their entire bodies. This figure could be used in actual combat, and it was likely that its beauty was greater than its actual combat effect.
However, if it was used to control the Profound Dao puppets, it would be quite suitable. The symmetry of his figure meant that when he did some difficult movements, he would not be hindered by his overly strong muscles.
When all the squads arrived, everyone began to talk about their own squad manifesto to canvass for votes.
In fact, Miss Su Ran even personally came out and sang two songs for everyone to publicize her squad.
This time, the atmosphere at the scene was naturally abnormally hot.
Xiang Nan had been secretly searching for him and had focused his attention on the VIP rooms on the high platform in the distance, trying to find traces of Old Man Tian Ji.
Unfortunately, there were too many people on the scene, and the number of martial artists was as large as a crucian carp.
Those Spiritual Qi fluctuations, Yuan Qi fluctuations, and even Astral Qi fluctuations were all mixed together. Using the Lightning Photoelectric Eye to look over, it was completely filled with light that filled the heavens and earth, and there was no way to find it.
Today's opening ceremony would not be a formal match. Instead, they would introduce the teams and randomly select a few teams to carry out ten friendly matches.
The host shouted loudly, "In the National Puppet Competition, the first place will be won. Three fifth level Heaven Scryer Puppets will be refined from fallen diamonds!"
"Holy shit!" Xiang Nan couldn't help but curse.
Fallen diamonds?
That thing was a bluestone of the same value as the Blue Wave Heavenly Blue Stone!
This thing can be directly used to refine profound grade weapons!
A battle puppet only needed to incorporate a single Fallen Diamond to give it the hardness of a true beginner Profound Weapon!
Moreover, it was a puppet at the fifth level of Heaven Scryer. The value of this item was far beyond imagination.
Xiang Nan's heart was dripping with blood. Three pieces of fallen diamonds! To use it to refine a puppet was truly a waste of heavenly treasures!
The spectators at the scene had already exploded, and the cheers were louder and louder.
It could be seen that Su Ran's eyes lit up when she heard the prize. She yearned for these three priceless puppets.
