Chapter 1518 Treating Money Like Dirt
The first program of the opening ceremony was the music presented by Dongfang Changqin and Qin An. The effect was very good and had already pushed the atmosphere to a climax.
Then the next step is the sword dance with national characteristics performed by the 800 Qingjian people!
The swords used by the dancers are naturally their own green swords, and the so-called sword dance is not that the dancers dance with swords, but they control the green swords to float in mid-air to form various shapes, eight hundred flying swords The momentum of the movements together was very majestic. Qin An had never seen such a performance before, and he was dumbfounded.
In one morning, Qin An feasted his eyes and learned more about the culture of the Qingjian tribe.
This is a relatively ancient race. They have their own history and their own stories.
Qin An originally thought that the Green Sword Clan was just a group of arrogant people, but now he finally woke up and put aside his subjective consciousness. In fact, the Green Sword Clan is also a very powerful race. His own unique abilities are indeed admirable.
On the other side, Princess Linghua was actually not in the mood to watch the performance. Her attention was always focused on Qin An.
Princess Linghua once had a complete impression of Qin An. In her eyes, Qin An was a relatively handsome and young ordinary earthling.
But now, Princess Linghua disassembles Qin An and watches.
His nose, his mouth, his eyebrows, his chest, his belly, his back, his legs, his palms, his... hips.
Writer Jiang Nan once described this in the book "The Boy Here", saying that when a person breaks down another person to watch, then she or he may be falling into a love complex.
Princess Linghua didn't know that there was a writer like Jiang Nan in the eastern land before the end of the earth, so she naturally hadn't read that book.
Therefore, she doesn't know what her current behavior means. She is just observing. This is her own wishful thinking. She is just observing. This is her biggest interest now.
The whole morning was pleasant for Qin An, because he watched a vivid performance.
The whole morning was torture for Linghua, because the more detailed she looked, the more impressive she became.
When the opening ceremony finally ended, but after all the guests temporarily ate some of the meals they had brought with them, the elimination round of the husband selection competition began in the afternoon.
This is also the highlight of the praise. People all know Linghua's identity, and they also know that Linghua's future man is likely to become the king of the Green Sword Clan, so how can they not pay attention?
All the contestants entered the central square, and almost every corner of the square was crowded with 20,000 people.
Some staff carried a total of one hundred moving doors emitting shimmering light from the passages in the surrounding squares into the venue. Qin An, who was already standing on the square, looked at the moving doors curiously and found that they looked like a train station before the end of the world. The security gate at the entrance is average, the kind that will ring if you carry metal objects on you.
ah? What is this for?
In fact, many people are as confused as Qin An and don't know what the content of this knockout competition is.
Just when everyone was confused, the presiding examiner finally announced the rules of the competition on the podium.
"Dear human brothers and sisters from all over the world, my name is Gao Qiu..."
Mud horse!
Qin An's face suddenly turned green. Looking at the tall and skinny man, he felt a little pain in his balls. Why did he call him Gao Qiu? That was a powerful official in the late Northern Song Dynasty, and he was the main villain in the novel Water Margin.
Gao Qiu didn't think there was anything wrong with his name, and continued with a smile on his face:
"So in yesterday's poetry writing party, we only eliminated five people because of Master Qin An's business, hahaha!"
Most people knew about this matter. Now Gao Qiu smiled and expressed the official attitude, which was to let bygones be bygones.
Everyone originally thought that this incident would damage the image of the royal family, but even if they didn't say it, the people already had a good impression of Qin An in their hearts. After all, he was a man with the same singing ability as Changqin.
As a result, the four people laughed together, and the atmosphere was very good.
Princess Linghua in the VIP private room also smiled. She put one hand on the table and put her palm on her chin. Her eyes turned into crescent moons and her face turned crimson.
People's minds are so complicated. In just one day, I didn't find Qin An annoying anymore.
She is not a little human girl. She has a lifespan of thousands of years, so she will not be unable to understand her own mind.
Although she hasn't fallen in love yet, Linghua understands that she is already very interested in Qin An.
"Okay, okay, I won't talk about what happened yesterday, but let's talk about the rules of this knockout match.
Everyone may already know that Princess Linghua has now become the Sword God! He is the fiftieth sword god we know so far! Her title of Sword God is Linghua, so there will be one more Linghua Sword God ranked fifty on the future Sword God list!
So as the princess of the Qingjian Clan, Linghua has reached the age of marriage and needs a husband to match her!
There is another big thing here. Our King Dongchen has also reached the age of retirement, so he needs a successor, and our people need a new king!
There is no record of a woman serving as king in the history of the Qingjian tribe, so although Linghua is the sword god, we cannot let her become the king directly.
But Princess Linghua said that if she could not control the future royal power, she would leave the Green Sword Clan and walk around the world as a ronin! In that case, we will lose the protection of a sword god.
Therefore, after Princess Linghua and King Dongchen discussed it, they decided that the husband of the future Princess Linghua would be the successor to the king. In other words, choosing a husband this time is actually choosing the future king of the Green Sword Clan. I think this is also the reason why the strong men have chosen this very early on. Is it the reason why they gathered in our Qingjian City territory before?
Haha, in short, once you are selected, no matter who you are, you will receive huge benefits!
As the saying goes, there is no reward without effort. After research, our examiners have decided that in this second round of knockout competition, everyone will have to give something! "
Give something? Everyone on the field was a little dizzy and didn't know what they had to pay.
Gao Qiu pointed to the detection doors, and then said loudly:
"Did you see it? This is the Sword Spirit Detection Gate! You can detect Sword Soul fragments, Sword Soul Stones, Sword Spirit Stones, and even Sword God Stones! Of course, I don't think anyone would carry a legendary object like the Sword God Stone. . In short, no matter what attributes of space storage props or abilities you have, you cannot avoid the inspection of this sword spirit detection door, so what we need is all your wealth! Before walking through the door, Take out all the sword soul fragments, sword soul stones, and sword spirit stones you have, and then they will belong to us. This is the registration fee for participating in the husband selection ceremony. No matter whether you will be eliminated in the end, we will not Return this wealth! Of course, some people may think this request is too much, so you can withdraw immediately and no longer participate in the next battle for the princess!
Okay, the second round of elimination is so simple. Before dinner, everyone in the venue can think about it slowly. I think you masters should have the ability to store space, right? You should always carry your treasure with you, so whether you want to spend everything you have in exchange for a chance to have close contact with the princess is the test you will face. If you pass the test, the accommodation and meals for the next few days will naturally be provided by the Qingjian Clan Palace. You don’t need to worry about this! "
After Gao Qiu finished speaking, the 20,000 contestants surrounding the square were in an uproar!
how so? This is public money-making!
It stands to reason that it is definitely worth handing over all the Sword Soul Stones in exchange for qualifications. After all, if you can become a sword god man and the king of the Green Sword Clan, the temptation is too great!
But everyone understands that there can only be one person first, and not even a second or third runner-up will be born.
So if he is eventually eliminated, will all the sword soul stones he has accumulated for thousands of years or more be given away?
Everyone has the dream of becoming a god, so almost all races on the Sword Spirit Star will accumulate sword soul stones and sword spirit stones, hoping to collect 50,000 sword spirit stones and then be lucky enough to refine a sword god stone. ,
And how to obtain fifty thousand sword soul stones? It requires killing millions of sword cultivating creatures, and then taking out the sword soul fragments from their bodies and slowly synthesizing them. This is an almost endless road. Everyone is insisting on it, hoping to be able to do it in their lifetime. If you can do it, now do you have to give up all your previous efforts in exchange for just one chance?
No one hesitated, and even some agitated people began to curse under their breath.
Qin An was also very depressed at this time. He felt that he seemed to be plotted by Linghua.
He turned his head and looked at Linghua who was sitting in the VIP seat, and saw that she was also looking towards him, her eyes almost smiling.
As expected!
Qin An's guess was correct. Concubine Yan came up with this knockout question. As for the rules of the competition with Qin An, it can be said that others were just affected.
Didn't Qin An just make a lot of money? In Yan Fei's words, not only did he make him vomit it all out, but he also had to take advantage of his boss. This move was a bit cruel.
However... Qin An never thought that things like sword soul stones and sword crystals were treasures, because like the sword god, he had the aura of the colorful sword in his body, so it was easier to obtain these things.
Therefore, when Gao Qiu announced the start of the game and everyone was hesitating and thinking, Qin An was the first to go to the testing gate nearest to him.
ah?
what's the situation? Didn't Qin An bring the Sword Soul Stone with him?
Shouldn't it? Storage space is always portable, so who wouldn’t put their treasures in a storage space?
Just when Linghua was confused, the examiner over there had already taken the bag handed over by Qin An, and when he opened it for inspection, his expression immediately changed, and he didn't say a word for a long time.
Linghua stood up nervously. Although it was only a few dozen meters away from Qin An's location, the sword god without vision could not see what was in the bag.
Doesn't Qin An have tens of thousands of sword soul stones on his body? Why did you just take out a small bag? Did he really give the Sword Soul Stone to someone else for safekeeping? In the Xiao family?
yes! That must be the case, he must be afraid that he will be robbed, right? Pretty smart. But being smart, Princess Linghua was a little disappointed. She originally wanted to see Qin An in pain.
After Qin An handed over the small bag, he walked directly through the inspection door without any reaction, which meant that Qin An no longer had any sword soul fragments or sword spirit stones or sword soul stones in his body.
After leaving the venue, Qin An returned directly to the VIP seat, smiled at Princess Linghua and said, "Okay, it's so easy today? Is this the end?"
Princess Linghua rolled her eyes at him and said with waning interest: "Well, because today is the first day of the festival, the celebrations on the streets are the busiest in the evening, so after the festival here, everyone can go shopping and feel the festival atmosphere. Anyway, the past two days have been very busy. It’s just a knockout round, reducing the number of contestants through various questions, and the highlight is when they actually compete in the ring.”
"Oh, then we agreed before that you treat me to dinner and I will help you cook. We should be able to leave early now, right? How about going to the exchange market to see if there are any ingredients that I am familiar with?"
"You asked this princess to..."
"Hey, we are all so familiar. Can you stop talking about this princess? How boring does it look? There is no class feeling at all!"
Class feelings...
Linghua found Qin An's statement very interesting and almost let a smile escape her face. Fortunately, she controlled it in the end.
"You want me to go shopping with you in person?"
"What will I do if you don't go? I don't have any money, and I've been exploited by you! And you must not know this secret. Food is spiritual, and it's only delicious when you make it with the ingredients you choose yourself. Woolen cloth!"
Seeing Qin An's serious nonsense, Linghua finally couldn't help but laugh.
"Haha, okay... Since it's a holiday, this princess... I mean this lady! I don't mind going shopping with you, but I just pay the money. It's up to you to choose what you want. I don't mind. don't know!"
"Haha, the young lady is really grand! Then let's go? Enter the special passage and escape from the venue."
"Who is your little sister?"
"You...do you want to be my lady?"
On the side, Zeng Huan finally interjected: "Our princess is originally a lady!"
"Yeah, what's wrong with me being your lady?"
"But...I have no money?"
"What does this have to do with money? I don't need anything from you."
Looking at the two masters and servants who swore to each other, Qin An sighed sadly, and then said: "Okay, okay, you two cute guys, you are all my ladies!"
Linghua nodded with satisfaction. Zeng Huan seemed a little excited because she was upgraded from maid to young lady. Qin An was completely defeated by them.
Just when they were about to leave the VIP seat, the official who had accepted Qin An's little bag finally announced the property that Qin An had handed over to the audience using a sound transmission device——
100 sword spirit stones!
