"How about... we leave first?" Lady Star coughed awkwardly twice and turned to ask everyone.
Everyone nodded. In this situation, they had to leave whether they wanted to or not.
So everyone began to retrace their steps. Before they had gone more than a few steps, they heard the workshop door open behind them. A red-eyed rabbit-like Ye Zhongming appeared before everyone.
"I say, Old Ye, you look a bit miserable, look..." White-Robe ca over wanting to speak, but was directly ignored by Ye Zhongming.
"Those not fighting tomorrow, step aside."
White-Robe was stunned for a mont, then shouted indignantly on the side, "I have rights too!"
Ye Zhongming completely ignored him, walked up to the two chieftains and Cheng Liujin and Bashilu, looked left and right, then grabbed Cheng Liujin and said, "Co with , the others wait a bit."
Saying this, regardless of the confused Golden Order Leader, he directly pulled him into the workshop, and the door clicked shut.
Everyone looked at each other, not understanding what Ye Zhongming was up to.
"How about... we wait?" Star Adult coughed awkwardly twice again and asked.
A group of Star-Eye Clan high-level mbers had chairs brought and sat outside the door. Any Star-Eye Clan mber passing by, seeing so many adults sitting there with serious expressions and closed eyes, was frightened and took a detour.
After about an hour, Cheng Liujin walked out looking dazed.
"Old Cheng, Old Cheng, what happened?" White-Robe looked around and realized he was the youngest and lowest in seniority among these people, so he could only be the one to ask. At the sa ti, he was also very curious about what Ye Zhongming had done with Cheng Liujin during that more than an hour inside.
Cheng Liujin first went "Ah," then returned to normal. He let out a long sigh and did not answer White-Robe imdiately. Instead, he patted the Silver Order Leader's shoulder and said, "Young man, you need to work hard in the future."
This left White-Robe dazed. What did he an? Work hard?
About half a minute after Cheng Liujin ca out, Ye Zhongming ran out again. This ti, he pulled Bashilu inside.
The two Star-Eye Clan lords did not speak and did not ask Cheng Liujin, but their hearts were pounding rapidly. Based on so information Jikesu had provided earlier, they had so vague guesses. If it really was like that, then...
This indeed troubled White-Robe. Cheng Liujin wouldn't say, and he couldn't press further. He could only plan to find Old Cheng for a couple of fights another ti.
After another hour or so, Bashilu ca out. Although he was not like Cheng Liujin, his face was slightly red, and his always steady hands were visibly trembling.
The two chiefs patted this close confidant's shoulder, their voices rising slightly with a "hmm." Bashilu nodded heavily.
Having received a positive answer, the two adults were truly excited. When Ye Zhongming stepped out, they both stepped forward at the sa ti.
Ye Zhongming smiled and said, "You two, who goes first?"
Lady Star let Lord Eye go first; Lord Eye let Lady Star go first. Ye Zhongming laughed heartily and said, "Together then."
After speaking, he walked into the workshop with the two lords.
……………………………………………………
The excitent in Dark Strip City reached its peak on the day the Brave Trial was to take place.
The area around the central arena was crowded with people; it seed as if everyone had squeezed in here.
The arena, which could accommodate two hundred thousand spectators, now had tickets that were scarce. The several middle-tier races with rights to it were overjoyed; ticket sales alone had allowed them to make a substantial profit.
Both on the ground and in the air, it was very busy. The ground was filled with various races, stalls, and city guards. In the air, aircraft were constantly arriving, all carrying people of status from other cities.
"Tickets? Tickets? We ca from afar, and you want us to watch the light screen outside?" A small group of cosmic race beings clamored not far from the entrance. Their numbers were neither few nor many, a few dozen people, very unhappy because they couldn't buy tickets.
"Watching the light screen isn't so bad either. Now, slightly better seats already cost nearly a thousand Moonspan Gold, and private boxes are close to ten thousand. With that money, what couldn't you do?"
This was said by another group of people not far from them.
They also wanted to go in and watch. After all, seeing and feeling with one's own eyes was much better than watching on a light screen. But now, only "scalpers" had tickets, and they were too expensive. Their group of more than ten people would cost over ten thousand Moonspan Gold to enter, even with the cheapest tickets, which made their hearts ache.
"Shut up, paupers!" The first group angrily retorted, then continued to yell at the arena guards.
"Although the Huaitang Clan and the Star-Eye Clan are the parties involved, do they need so many and such good seats? I heard the Huaitang Clan has ten thousand seats, and a small clan like the Star-Eye Clan has five thousand. Is it necessary? Is it necessary?"
This being's words gained approval from those around. They all felt that the Huaitang Clan and Star-Eye Clan did not need so many tickets; it was a complete waste. Giving each race a thousand would be enough, and the rest should be sold.
At that mont, a Star-Eye Clan mber squeezed out from the crowd, grabbed this person, and said, "Brother, you want tickets? The people in our team aren't going anymore; we have a hundred tickets. Do you want them?"
That person was stunned for a mont, then imdiately said happily, "Yes, of course I do!"
"I don't sell them individually. A hundred tickets, all in very good positions, one thousand five hundred each, a total of one hundred fifty thousand Moonspan Gold. If you want them, let's trade; if not, I'll find others."
That person hesitated upon hearing this.
One hundred fifty thousand Moonspan Gold was no small amount; he couldn't co up with it all at once.
The Star-Eye Clan mber saw this being's situation and imdiately said to the people around, "Those who want to buy can join together. These are seats specifically reserved for the Star-Eye Clan. Now the outside price has already exceeded two thousand each; I'm selling them five hundred cheaper. Don't miss this opportunity. Even if you buy them and sell them to others, you might make a little profit. I'll also give you an insider tip here, absolutely accurate: this ti, our Star-Eye Clan is going all out and has a secret weapon. We definitely won't disappoint everyone!"
Under this persuasion, many people around were tempted. One thousand five hundred Moonspan Gold was not too much money for races that could co from surrounding cities to watch the battle live.
So after so discussion, people spontaneously started counting heads and finally bought these hundred tickets.
This situation occurred in many places around the arena. Shortly before the start, five thousand tickets originally prepared for the Star-Eye Clan were sold off, four thousand of them, at prices ranging from one thousand four or five hundred to one thousand seven or eight hundred. With so many tickets, the Star-Eye Clan directly earned six to seven hundred thousand Moonspan Gold!
When it was almost ti to start, the Huaitang Clan mbers learned about this. Thinking that so many people going was indeed useless, they followed the Star-Eye Clan's example and began selling tickets. Unfortunately, it was too close to the start ti, and they didn't sell many, which made many of them lant missing a chance to make a fortune.
However, compared to this small episode, one piece of news spread like a bomb here!
The Huaitang Clan's dispatched transport team had been attacked again!
Again, not a single survivor was left, and the bodies were destroyed afterward!
The closest team was said to be less than ten kiloters from Dark Strip City!
At the mont when the Brave Trial was about to begin, the blow to the Huaitang Clan's morale from this news was almost fatal. When the Huaitang Clan mbers waiting in the arena found out, many nearly coughed up blood in anger.
"Huaitang Clan, are you ready? Your opponents, the Star-Eye Clan, have already entered the arena. It's your turn now!" A high-tier race referee invited from outside ca to remind them it was ti to start.
The Huaitang Clan mbers could only enter the arena interior with suppressed grievances.
The fully packed Dark Strip City central arena imdiately erupted with deafening cheers.
However, when the Huaitang Clan looked at the Star-Eye Clan team opposite them, they were first stunned, then many couldn't help but snicker.
