Chapter 527: Untitled
Yu Huang had just finished her meal and placed her chopsticks in the pot. Just as she was about to pack her things, she saw the man push the pot in front of her.
Yu Huang stared at the steaming hot pot and looked up at the man with a questioning gaze.
Why? Was he used to eating delicacies and despised her self-heating food?
When the man saw Yu Huang staring blankly at the bowl of self-heating rice, he thought for a moment and took out a portion of roasted chicken from his interspatial ring.
The man tore off one of the roasted chicken’s legs and took a bite. Then, he tore off the other leg and handed it to Yu Huang.
Yu Huang stared at the leg that was covered in yellow sand. She reached out and took the leg. She realized that the leg was still covered in yellow sand when it reached her hand. Only then did she realize that in this space, food and everything in different worlds were unable to connect.
Therefore, it was not that this fellow despised her self-heating food, but that he couldn’t eat it at all.
Yu Huang stared at the bowl of cooked self-heating rice. After some thought, she reached out and picked it up. She sat on the rock and continued eating.
She couldn’t waste food.
Her father had said that it was shameful to waste food.
The man was speechless when he saw Yu Huang pick up another bowl of hot rice and eat it.
A country bumpkin from a small world!
Which world did this country bumpkin come from? Was their world in a famine or something? Why were they so stingy with their food?
The man thought about how poor the other party’s living environment was, so he was kind enough to comfort Yu Huang. “Work hard on your cultivation and strive to come to our Great World to live in the future. The Infant Spirit Continent is vast and filled with resources. There are many experts, and our technology is advanced. When you see it, you’ll definitely be shocked.”
Yu Huang only heard the man mutter something. She didn’t understand. She was silent for a moment before replying, “Oh, you’re asking me what this dish is called? It’s braised potato beef, but this potato doesn’t taste that fresh.”
The man thought that Yu Huang had taken his words to heart. He continued, “I’m the young master of the Water God Clan on the Infant Spirit Continent. When you come to the Ying Ling Continent, you can go to the Water God Clan to look for me. On the account that we can be considered acquaintances, come and find me. I can find an easy job for you in the outer sect. As long as you work hard, you can still gain a foothold in the Upper World.”
“Hey, are you good-looking? If you’re good-looking, I can find you a good husband in the future. As long as you can marry a powerhouse from the Upper World, you can get the Upper World’s household register and stay in the Upper World forever…”
Yu Huang heard the other party say a lot more. She tilted her head and thought for a while before saying, “Oh, you’ve never eaten braised potato beef before. Is there no beef or potatoes in your world? Or do you not know how to cook this dish?”
The man listened to Yu Huang’s words in silence for a while. He thought that Yu Huang was dissatisfied, so he said, “Why do you have so many requirements? You’re a woman from a small world. It’s a great honor for you to marry an expert from the Upper World. What’s there to choose? As long as he’s a three-legged man, it’s fine. Why do you need a handsome man?”
Yu Huang said, “Then if we have the chance to meet in the future, I’ll teach you how to cook this dish. My father taught me before.”
The two of them even started chatting depsite not understanding each other at all.
Soon, Yu Huang finished her second meal.
She packed the trash into a bag and carried it in her hand.
Yu Huang planned to continue forward.
She stood up with the trash bag and looked up at the man. “My name is Yu Huang.” Yu Huang held the trash bag in her left hand and extended her right hand towards him. “What about you?”
The man stared at Yu Huang’s outstretched right hand and fell silent.
Shaking hands was an international gesture. Everyone in the three thousand worlds understood this.
The man had mixed feelings. He thought to himself, “You’re just a country bumpkin from a small world. How are you qualified to hold my hand?”
Seeing that the other party didn’t react, Yu Huang thought that he didn’t understand the meaning of shaking hands.
Yu Huang waved her hand and said with a smile, “Don’t you have handshakes in your world? Come, let me introduce myself solemnly. My name is Yu Huang. What about you?”
Yu Huang.
The man heard this name twice from Yu Huang. He vaguely understood that Yu Huang was this woman’s name.
The other party reached out to Yu Huang and said, “Jiang Tingzhi.”
The pronunciation of “Jiang Tingzhi” was slightly different from the Holy Spirit Continent’s, but Yu Huang still understood his name. “Jiang Tingzhi, hello.” Yu Huang directly held Jiang Tingzhi’s hand.
Through a layer of yellow sand, Jiang Tingzhi could also feel the warmth of Yu Huang’s hand.
Jiang Tingzhi was stunned.
This country bumpkin was so bold!
She actually dared to hold his hand!
He was the young master of the Water God Clan. His status was noble. Even those young ladies from the Infant Spirit Continent were not qualified to interact with him. How dare this country bumpkin from a small world hold his hand!
Yu Huang quickly let go of Jiang Tingzhi.
“I have to go. Goodbye.”
Yu Huang carried the trash bag and turned to leave.
Jiang Tingzhi stared at his hand that had been flung away, then raised his head to look at Yu Huang’s back figure. He suddenly had the feeling that he had been abandoned by a woman.
How could he tolerate this?
He couldn’t tolerate it.
Yu Huang heard a rustling sound behind her. She turned around and saw Jiang Tingzhi silently following behind her.
Yu Huang raised her eyebrows and thought to herself, “Why has this guy been following me? Could it be that he wants to kill me?”
The moment this thought appeared, Yu Huang felt a strong sense of danger. She stopped in her tracks and turned around to stare at Jiang Tingzhi. She questioned him coldly, “Why are you following me?!”
Jiang Tingzhi didn’t understand what Yu Huang was saying, but he could sense that her attitude had changed. She seemed to be a little angry and vigilant.
Jiang Tingzhi raised his eyebrows. Although this country bumpkin was ignorant, she was quite vigilant.
Guessing that Yu Huang was questioning his motives, Jiang Tingzhi explained calmly, “I’m the same as you. We’re going to the Central Pagoda. It’s along the way.”
Yu Huang didn’t understand anything else, but she heard the words ‘Central Pagoda’.
“Central Pagoda?”
Jiang Tingzhi nodded. “Yes, the Central Pagoda.” After saying that, he realized something and looked at Yu Huang in surprise. He asked speechlessly, “Don’t tell me you don’t know about the Central Pagoda?”
Yu Huang only understood the words Central Pagoda and nothing else.
This was the first time the Holy Spirit Continent had participated in the World Competition. Even Lin Jiansheng and the others didn’t know the rules of the competition. As the first batch of participants in the World Competition, Yu Huang and the others were like blind people who were trying to cross the river. They could only rely on their own abilities to explore the rules of the Doomsday Battlefield.
Seeing that Jiang Tingzhi might know the rules of the Doomsday Battlefield, Yu Huang decided to ask him in detail.
Considering that they were unable to communicate in the same language, Yu Huang thought about it and decided to communicate in sign language with him.
She asked, “Why are we going to the Central Pagoda?”
Coincidentally, Jiang Tingzhi could really understand sign language.
Although Jiang Tingzhi was impatient, he still used sign language to explain the rules of the Doomsday Battlefield to Yu Huang. He said, “The Doomsday Battlefield is connected to the three thousand worlds. It is the only common battlefield of the three thousand worlds. Therefore, every five years, the Beast Tamers of the three thousand worlds will enter the Doomsday Battlefield to participate in the world competition.”
[The environment in the Doomsday Battlefield is extremely harsh. Every day at noon, the temperature will rise to 200 degrees. After the high temperature lasts for two hours, it will instantly drop to -300 degrees. The harsh ecological environment of the battlefield can force back a small number of low-level Beast Tamers.]
[As for the Beast Tamers with high cultivation levels, their goal is to head to the Central Pagoda and participate in the Central Pagoda Hunt to fight for the top 10,000 rankings.]
After knowing that there was a ranking list, Yu Huang hurriedly gestured and asked, “What is the ranking list?”
Jiang Tingzhi rolled his eyes again.
Country bumpkin!
She didn’t even know about the Ten Thousand Ranking List!
Jiang Tingzhi cursed a few times before impatiently gesturing in sign language. “The Ten Thousand Ranking List is a list of the top 10,000 experts created by the Battlefield Administration for the participants of the three thousand worlds. It is divided into the Master Ten Thousand Ranking List, the Supreme Master Ten Thousand Ranking List, and the Grand Master Thousand Ranking List! Only the participants who can enter the Ten Thousand Ranking List can be considered geniuses of the three thousand worlds and elites. This group of people are Divine Master seed candidates with the highest chance of becoming a Prime Master, Prime Emperor, or even a Divine Master!”
[Almost every participant’s goal is to successfully enter the top 10,000 rankings.]
Yu Huang understood.
She really didn’t expect there to be so many rules on the battlefield.
Yu Huang asked Jiang Tingzhi, “Then what does entering the Ten Thousand Ranking have to do with the Central Pagoda?”
Jiang Tingzhi told her, “In every World Competition, there are more than a million participants. Those who want to compete for the top 10,000 rankings have to go to the Central Pagoda of the Doomsday Battlefield to participate in hunting.”
