Volume 2 The Contest Chapter 79 Begins!
After experiencing the incident of the purple-robed man destroying the black market, Zhang Ye lived as calm as water in the next two days, and honestly worked for two days in the blacksmith shop, and there were a few more collections in the figure box.
On the third day, Zhang Ye got up early in the morning and rushed to the competition venue with little Robert.
This time, no one led the way, and after letting Robert Jr. enter the venue through the main entrance by himself, Zhang Ye re-entered the passage to the players' lounge through the side passage.
After checking and registering the promotion card at the door, Zhang Ye walked into the players' lounge, there were already many promoted players waiting in the lounge, Zhang Ye swept his eyes around, and didn't see Daria, but Simon and his assistant had already come, the two of them sat there with their heads down and didn't speak, completely without the domineering state they had a few days ago, and Simon's face was still wrapped in gauze for some reason.
And Zhang Ye's arrival also attracted the attention of many people, after all, he was the player who broke the Titan alloy in the first round and then got a full score, as a blacksmith, many people are relatively honest even if they are young, and there are several blacksmiths from small places who wave their hands when they see Zhang Ye coming in.
Simon, on the other hand, was the complete opposite, he just raised his head slightly, looking at Zhang Ye with murderous eyes, as if he wanted to swallow him directly.
These days, it's like hell for Simon, for some reason, that day from Zhang Ye's blacksmith shop back to the hotel, after he slept and woke up, he inexplicably began to spit out words clearly, and the next day even developed into a complete word, at first Simon thought he had some disease, took over and invited a doctor to come over and check it, the doctor told him that there was no problem with his body, and even a lot healthier than ordinary people, and then Simon found several doctors in a row for two days and did not see the problem, although the doctors said so, but he gradually couldn't even make the simplest sound, and the tongue began to stiffen slowly.
Since the doctor can't see it, Simon can only change his mind, last night, he has already entrusted the reputation of his family and his teacher to the Magic Guild of Sleepless City, who knows that the strongest seventh-order resident mage in Sleepless City has something to do to go to the General Guild of Magic City, and those who stay are some four, The fifth-order magician, everyone used a lot of methods around Simon and didn't find out why, and it would take at least two days for the resident mage to come back, obviously he couldn't catch up, seeing that the second round of the competition was about to start as soon as the morning dawned, in order not to be ashamed outside, he could only wrap his face with gauze to prevent people from seeing the clues.
After his father received the news, he also persuaded Simon to give up the game and return to Double Moon Castle first to find a way, but Simon just refused, and he had a few words with his father for this.
In the past few days, Simon has also been thinking about what is going on, thinking about it, the biggest suspect who caused him to be like this is not only Zhang Ye, a poor boy, except for several old enemies of the family, but he also can't understand how Zhang Ye made him like this, and he can't find out no matter how he investigates.
Watching Zhang Ye walk into the players' lounge, Simon's attendant gently pushed Simon's arm with his elbow, Simon's eyes were empty, and he raised his head, just in time to see Zhang Ye walking past them, an uncontrollable anger rushed to his heart, Simon stood up and usurped Zhang Ye's arm.
was grabbed by someone's arm violently, Zhang Ye subconsciously wanted to break free, and Simon, who hadn't had much rest for a few days, was thrown aside by him and fell to the ground.
With a "tom ~", Simon, who fell to the ground, crashed into several chairs, and the noise attracted the attention of everyone in the lounge.
Looking back, a masked man stared at him with angry eyes, and another person next to him hurriedly helped the person.
"It turned out to be Young Master Simon, why did he cover his face and not see anyone?" Seeing the attendant who helped this person, Zhang Ye instantly guessed that this masked person was Simon, but why did he cover his face?
Zhang Ye suddenly remembered that he seemed to have used the "Daddy's Wire Cutter" prop on Simon.
"At that time, the system didn't prompt what the effect was, could it be that the whole face was rotten?" But seeing that Simon, who was helped up, just looked at himself, and didn't make a sound even when he fell just now, and didn't even say the phrase "poor boy", Zhang Ye thought of a possibility.
"What's the matter, Master Simon, what's the matter with me?" Zhang Ye asked.
Simon looked at Zhang Ye angrily and didn't speak, and the attendant helped Simon to speak, "You... What the hell did you do to Simon?"
"Oh? Obviously, it's you who are looking for trouble with me all day long, why did I do something to your young master Simon? Zhang Ye replied casually, looking at the two with a mocking face.
"You... You this. The attendant wanted to continue talking, but was stopped by Simon, looking at the surrounding eyes and the managers who were walking over, Simon felt that he couldn't drink Zhang Ye for the time being, otherwise he would suddenly not be able to speak, and if the matter of the stiff tongue that had been flowing was leaked by the attendant, how could he still have the face to continue to participate in the competition.
After pulling the follower, Simon's snake-like eyes glared at Zhang Ye fiercely, and the two turned around and sat down on the stool next to them.
At this time, the manager also came over and asked, "What's wrong, what's going on?"
Simon just accidentally fell and knocked a couple of chairs open. The attendant hurriedly explained.
"Are you alright?"
"It's okay, it's okay. β
The management looked at Zhang Ye again and said, "Don't talk loudly in the lounge." After saying that, he left, and this sentence directly stimulated Simon, making him flush with anger.
If only I could speak loudly!
Glancing at Simon's red face, Zhang Ye felt very relieved, and after returning to his seat, he turned on the system prompt and looked for any hints about the effect of "Daddy's wire cutters" on Simon, and there was only one hint for use.
"The guess should be related to his voice, this person has a bad mouth and is annoying, this effect is just right for him, but I don't know how long it will last, or permanently. β
At this moment when Zhang Ye was thinking nonsense, Dariya also arrived.
"Hi Andrey. β
Thinking was interrupted, Zhang Ye looked up, and Dariya was still her daily dress, young and beautiful, with a forging hammer on her shoulder.
"Morning, Dariyah, sit down. Zhang Ye pointed to the empty stool beside him.
"Hey, hey~ How about Andre, how are you preparing. Daria sat down.
"I don't know what the topic is, what to prepare, so let's play as usual. β
"That's right. β
After a while, after all the players who advanced to the first round arrived, the voice of the host Tyke outside the lounge sounded again.
"Good morning, all of you who have come from all over the worldγγγγ β
As with the previous process, after Tyke said some polite words, the blacksmith players who had once again made the friendship appeared.
After the first round of the competition, there are currently 125 players who have entered the second round, but through Tyke's explanation just now, everyone knows that 3 of them can't come for various reasons, so now only 122 people are left to compete in the second round.
Everyone walked into the arena in an orderly manner under the leadership of the staff, the layout of the arena has not changed from before, but there are some differences among the audience on the stage, it is estimated that they saw Robert and Martin Jr. The banners they made in the first round of the game, and there were many more banners in this game, and there were all those who supported the player, and it looked much more lively than the first game.
Everyone entered, and the arrangement of the second round of positions was carried out in the arena by lot, and after the draw, everyone quickly found their place and stood up.
Because a lot of people have been eliminated, there are more empty positions on the field, and many people are empty in front and back.
Once the position has been chosen, the host Tyke begins to announce the rules of the game.
"You know, as an excellent blacksmith, you need to select materials, smelt, forge, The process of strengthening is very proficient, the second game will be divided into three days, carefully assess the mastery of each step, the first day of the assessment content for the selection of materials and smelting, the other two will be assessed in the next two days, each day each player's work will get 0-10 points of evaluation, three days a total of 30 points, the last score after the completion of the total score in the top 10 players will be qualified to enter the third round of the competition. β
Hearing Tek's words, there was an uproar.
There are too many people to be eliminated in this second round, and only ten of the more than one hundred and twenty people can enter the third round in the end, Zhang Ye is quite confident in himself and Daria, these projects, except for the selection of materials, he is a little confused, and several other items Zhang Ye thinks that he is still quite powerful under the indoctrination of the system, and in order to prevent the fluctuation of magic power captured by the detector like in the first round, Zhang Ye opened the Eye of Recognition before entering the field and has maintained it, with the speed at which his magic power is now restored, the consumption of the Eye of Recognition is almost nothing, and it will be fine for a few days and nightsγ
"Now, please look to the right. Tyke said again.
Everyone looked to the right, where several guild workers were standing, and behind them, there were piles of wooden boxes.
It won't be that kind of wooden box again, Zhang Ye thought.
"Yes, it's the wooden box used in the first round, but in order to prevent cheating, the lock cylinder of the wooden box this time is no longer Morrisian acid gold. Tyke said quickly.
"When the competition starts, each contestant can choose one of the wooden boxes as the test question for this competition. β
"Each crate contains three to five minerals of raw ore, and we need the contestants to sift the minerals out of the minerals, smelt them, and finally form an alloy ingot within the specified time. β
"Mind you, this alloy is related to your next two games, so please take it seriously. β
"The rules are introduced here, and I am very honored to introduce to you the guests and the head of the referee team in this game. β
As he spoke, Tyke leaned over and said with his left hand outstretched.
