Xingtang City.

It is a young emerging city.

Founded less than 20 years ago, the city has a population of less than 300,000.

The pillar industry of the economy is related to a tree called "Xingtang wood", which is the high-quality wood for making high-end furniture, with clear wood grain and good quality, and is very sought after by the middle and high-class classes.

As for Xingtang City, an emerging small and medium-sized city, hundreds of thousands of countries have emerged in recent years.

The reason is that with the development of the economy, the joint families in some big cities have become the best choice due to the uneven distribution of interests and fruits, and there are many contradictions.

As a result, the big families occupied the big cities, and the small families came out to create new cities, which increased the utilization rate of undeveloped land and increased the economic vitality of the country.

Mujia.

A businessman family with a century-old heritage, the family strength is average, and there are small assets.

Therefore, after cultivating a genius fairy, in the face of the covetous and greedy eyes of various big families, the Mu family, whose strength and accumulation are not enough, can only turn the brains of businessmen to maximize their interests in an unfavorable environment.

While not committing to death all the families that sent marriage requests, find the best Taoist companion for Mu Feiyan.

And in the national high-profile competition to recruit relatives, he hit the advertisement of his Mujia furniture.

Upon arrival at Xingtang City.

After getting off the passenger plane, Zhou Ming and the others went straight to the City Lord's Mansion to inquire about registration.

August 6 is the last day of the registration deadline, and the players will start grouping on the 7th, and the 8th will officially start.

Registration point.

A butler-like man said, "The deadline is still an hour away, and you're glad to have arrived in time." ”

Then the housekeeper asked Zhou Ming's name, which city he came from, that family, and what his status was in the family?

"Bai Feiyang, Hyun Qingcheng, Bai family, eldest grandson. ”

Zhou Ming did not use a pseudonym and answered truthfully.

"Hyun Qingcheng...... The Bai family?"

The housekeeper thought hard, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he asked, "Isn't it the Hyunqing City that is famous for exporting Xuanqing fruits and breeding pot-pot rabbits?"

The housekeeper became full of joy: "Okay, great, great, I'll write your name right away and put it in the A group list!"

It turns out that for applicants from all cities across the country, Mujia will also conduct a survey and screening.

The main reference target is the ranking of the GDP of each city and the ranking of the value of each family's assets - there is a magazine called "Fortune", which analyzes and counts every year, and the data obtained is quite accurate.

And there are too many families who covet Mu Feiyan's qualifications and appearance, and among the thousands of cities and tens of thousands of families in the Wancheng Kingdom, eight or nine thousand people have come to sign up.

Excluding the age fraud, the poor and weak family, and the physically disabled and ugly appearance, there are only about 1,000 people who really register their names.

And these more than 1,000 people, according to the family's assets and strength, are divided into four groups of ABCD.

Of course, the threshold for Group A is the highest, and it is said that only families with family assets exceeding 3 billion spirit coins and more than two immortals can be assigned to Group A.

Is the assets of the Bai family in Hyun Qingcheng more than 3 billion?

That's for sure.

"Fortune" magazine conducted statistics and found that Hyunqingcheng's GDP ranking could not even enter the top 100 in the Wancheng country, but the assets held by the Bai family in Hyunqingcheng exceeded 5 billion spirit coins, ranking 55th in the family assets list, and maintaining a rapid upward momentum.

As for the high-end strength of the Bai family, there is already one immortal and two immortals.

Therefore, now the Bai family is a veritable "rich and handsome" family, how can it be divided into the "D group" with a threshold of only 100 million spirit coins?

Feeling the incomparable enthusiasm of the housekeeper, Zhou Ming shook his head and sighed: "This competition is really a comparison of everything, and the wisdom of the merchant family is really not convincing." ”

Registration is complete.

Lived in a first-class courtyard arranged by the Mu family.

And then there's waiting.

Waiting for the introduction of the rules of the tournament and the announcement of the list of opponents...... In fact, the ring culture of Wancheng Country has been quite prosperous, and various competition rules are also guaranteed to be very fair to each player to the greatest extent.

However, on August 7, after the release of the rules of the competition formulated by the Mu family, the "wo grass" was loud!

Especially the players who were divided into groups B, C, and D, they were all smashing the table and scolding their mothers.

Why?

Because the rules of the game are quite unfavorable for the players in these three groups.

After these three groups are required to be eliminated layer by layer, the group champions of the three groups will then PK each other, and the final winner will be eligible to enter the round of 16 elimination in Group A.

In other words, even if someone can emerge from these three groups and win the group championship, if they want to win the final championship, they will have to go through several rounds of elimination.

What's even more fucking up is that in terms of the pace of the game, the three BCD groups are required to play all the games in three days, that is, an average of three games per day.

The pace of Group A is five days, with an average of less than two matches per day.

As a result, in terms of recovering aura, mental strength and even physical strength, in the case of high rhythm, the players in the three groups of BCD have no time to recover.

Even if someone can stand in the ring of the round of 16 in Group A, he is exhausted, and he will not be able to go far.

Therefore, the rules of the Mu family are not intended to give the BCD group players a chance.

There was a lot of anger for this.

"Mu Zhenquan, can you be more shameless?"

"I hate the poor and love the rich, Mu Zhenquan, are you marrying your daughter or selling your daughter? Are you choosing a husband or a rich man?"

"It's not fair, it's not fair!"

"Change the rules immediately, or we will withdraw en masse!"

The contestants scolded Mu Zhenquan, the head of the Mu family, and asked to adjust the rules of the competition immediately!

This request, of course, was rejected by the Mu family.

The housekeeper of the Mu family said strongly: "Whoever wants to withdraw from the competition can withdraw immediately, no one will stop you." ”

The contestants wanted to beat up the butler and retire from the game, but no one did.

None of them withdrew.

Because the probability of participating in the competition and marrying Mu Feiyan is 1 in 10,000, the withdrawal directly becomes 0.

No one wants to give up that 1 in 10,000 chance.

There is a glimmer of hope in everyone.

As for the players in Group A, of course, they are very satisfied with the rules and arrangements of the Mu family and agree with them.

For the reaction of the BCD group, they are also cynical and collective.

"This kind of competition, which you are also qualified to participate in?"

"Really, don't come to join in the fun, my concubine Yan is something you can touch?"

"The total assets of the family are not even 3 billion, and I have no desire to talk to him. ”

"If you don't have money, how can you give Fei Yan a sense of happiness and security? My Zheng family's assets exceed 10 billion, and I am the most suitable person for Fei Yan!"

"Hehe, with assets of tens of billions, do you dare to compare with the Zhang family in Zhenlin City? One finger of the Zhang family is thicker than your Zheng family's waist. ”

"The Zhang family is indeed rich, but the Zhang family did not send their sons and nephews to participate in the competition, and from the Zhang family down, the most tyrant is my Wu family. ”

"My town Lin Xia's family is not bad at all!"

These families began to compare themselves with each other.

At this scene, Zhou Ming secretly shook his head.

When did the people of Wancheng become so money-worshipping and love-climbing?

There is also the Mu family, who held a competition to recruit relatives, but it turned out to be so vulgar and vain, and the businessman's face was unobstructed.

However, in public opinion, few people expressed dissatisfaction and condemnation, but felt that this was normal.

The social atmosphere is very distorted and abnormal.

Zhou Ming didn't want to say anything about this, the most difficult thing to change in this world is concepts and thoughts, and if you want to change, you can only rely on the slow precipitation of time.

……

It's August 8th.

The recruitment competition officially began.

In the north of Xingtang City, dozens of professional rings have been built.

Next to the Group A competition area, a high platform for watching the game was also built.

On the high platform, the audience was full.

As for the protagonist of this competition, Mu Feiyan, the daughter of the Mu family, wearing a white veil, accompanied by two maids, sat in front of a guqin, and her beautiful eyes looked down.

Seeing that the goddess in her heart was watching her on the high platform, the players in the Group A competition area were speeding up their blood and their hearts were surging.

Ring Nine.

In front of Zhou Ming, there stood a tall and handsome young man in fluttering clothes.

He first turned his head to look at the goddess on the high platform, and then with high morale, he pointed the long sword in his hand at Zhou Ming, twisted his neck and said, "Anyone who dares to stop me from marrying Concubine Yan will suffer humiliation under this sword!"

"Miscellaneous fish, you also have the qualifications to say the line?"

Zhou Ming suddenly disappeared in place, bringing a gust of wind, like an arrow, towards him.
