As a referee, Du Yuhan needs to participate in the judging of six events today. As soon as his feet stepped on the venue, he was immediately pulled by the vice president Saran who was waiting at the gate and hurried towards the arena.

"Your Excellency, why are you so late today? The contestants are already waiting in the waiting room. Oh, I don't blame you, it's just that your schedule is very tight, and if one of them is delayed, the others will be delayed one after another...... Ah, I mean, it's going to delay your rest time too—"

"I'm very sorry, Mr. Saran." Du Yuhan knew that he was wrong, swept the tip of his nose and admitted his mistake in a low voice. "I'll pay more attention next time."

"It's okay, Your Excellency, you have indeed suffered in the past few days, and it is we who should apologize." As if he felt that his words were a little excessive, Saran cleared his throat, "By the way, today's player information, please carefully check if there is anything missing." And yesterday's race report......"

"Ahh Taking the thick page from the other party's hand, Du Yuhan just lowered his head and planned to browse quickly, when a big hand suddenly put on it. He looked up and saw Ringston looking at him with a smile on his face.

Waving his hand for Saran to prepare for other matters, Lingston led Du Yuhan to the venue. "Recently, the competition has been intense, and Your Excellency has worked hard."

"Where, compared to you, that's nothing." Now Du Yuhan was a little embarrassed.

Participating in the competition judging in person, Du Yuhan realized how difficult it is to hold a bottom-up competition. From the preparation of the early plan to the mid-term work assignment, as well as the later data collation, I am only responsible for a small part of the work, which shows how cumbersome and huge the project is.

In this way, he often oversleeps. When I think of this, I feel very surprised.

"And it's a great honor to be a part of this event in your city."

"Thank you for your support and cooperation in our work." After a few more dry polite words, Ringston hesitated for a long time, and couldn't help but lean closer and asked in a low voice, "I heard that Your Excellency has recently received a lot of support from the public." ”

Hearing this, Du Yuhan chuckled in his heart.

Damn, which big mouth poked out the gift-giving thing?!

He didn't do it voluntarily at all!

They don't think he's taking bribes, right?

Maya! Don't disqualify him!

"No, no, no! You are mistaken! I don't know who shoehorned those things in, and I definitely didn't mean to accept the gift! I've just had someone throw them all away! ”

was taken aback by Du Yuhan's tense attitude, and then after listening to the other party's explanation, Lingston was stunned, "Throw it away?" You, you threw everything away? ”

"Yes, you don't have to worry about that." Du Yuhan swore a promise.

Lingerton's face turned pale, but his expression became nervous, and just as he was about to say something, a mocking male voice came from him.

"Heh, the name of the high-level model master really lives up to its reputation, let the elder grow every day, this shelf is big enough." When he looked up, he saw Ruskin standing next to the corridor, followed by two modelers, who seemed to be waiting for his assistant to extract today's information.

"Isn't it, being late for two out of three days to be a judge, completely ignoring the rules and regulations." The modeler behind him immediately saw the stitches and sarcastically shouted, "What a trouble this brings to others!" ”

"It's no wonder that the identity of someone came to this small place to be a judge, and he was talented." The other laughed a few times.

With the help of others, Ruskin was even more aggressive, "Hmph, I just don't know if this strength is worthy of this face." ”

"I'm afraid it took some disgraceful means to get mixed up with the high-level, right?" After that, the man looked Du Yuhan up and down maliciously.

After coming for nearly half a month, Du Yuhan knew that this person was not pleasing to his eyes, and since he personally warned the other party last time, Ruskin's behavior has been reined. Although he can't continue to make small moves, he always finds opportunities to make sarcasm, and he has long been surprised by this kind of battle.

On the contrary, Lingerton's face beside him was not very good-looking, "Ruskin, don't go too far. ”

"What? Am I wrong? Seeing that there were more and more onlookers, Ruskin spoke more energetically.

From his standpoint, Du Yuhan is just a passer-by in the city, and there is no chance that he will stay. But this guy from Killingston naively thought that he really hugged a thick thigh, and tried to shout at him, he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.

He was going to let the others see now who had the final say in this model organization in Toba City! Anyway, he has been dormant here for many years, and he is not worried that the other party will retaliate.

Thinking of this, Ruskin became even more emboldened.

Just as he was about to continue to strike the other party, a thick and distant bell echoed in the corridor.

"Bell-bell-"

When the bell rings, it means that both the referee and the player are in place.

"You're in luck." Ruskin snorted coldly, took the materials handed by his assistant, and walked into one of the branch venues.

Lingston sighed softly and looked at Du Yuhan apologetically, "I feel very sorry, Your Excellency......"

Du Yuhan waved his hand to show that he didn't care, "Then I'll be busy first." ”

After that, he also entered the designated arena.

Lingerton, who was left alone, stared at the other man's back, his face full of sadness.

*****

The difficulty of the competition is set at the initial level, and the competition is mainly modeling, and the contestants enter a specific venue enchantment, and according to the corresponding proposition or requirements, within the specified time, the design and production of the model are carried out.

The judges supervised the entire process through the spells placed in the enchantment, and scored the final work comprehensively to select the winner.

The other two referees nodded and said hello, and after Du Yuhan took his seat, he quickly looked through the materials in his hand.

The contestants in this competition are two beginner and intermediate modelers, and although the results of the two in the audition are relatively good, compared to the rich modeling experience of the other contestants, one of them actually wrote "grocery store pù salesperson" on his personal experience.

Mentor ...... Well? Self-taught?

Pretty good!

Du Yuhan touched his chin and couldn't help but be interested in the player named "John". After the contestants entered the arena separately, after the contestants introduced each other, he finally saw the appearance of the man.

However, he was stunned.

Hey? Wasn't this boy the eccentric waiter at that dinner?

Before he could sort out his thoughts, another judge next to him couldn't help but sigh, "John, this kid, still participated......"

Du Yuhan turned his head and asked curiously, "Your Excellency, do you know him?" ”

"Of course I do." The judge sighed and added, "It can be said that the entire model guild basically knows him. ”

"What do you say?" He was a little confused. It stands to reason that this young man named John is not of high rank, although it is rare to have such strength at this age, but it is not enough to say that everyone in the guild knows about him, right?

"He's a professional and you can see him every year." Another judge accosted in.

"That's it?" There are also more people who actively participate in the competition every year, which is not a big deal, right?

seemed to understand Du Yuhan's doubts, the judge shook his head, "The key is that he has been participating since he was five years old." ”

Hearing this, he couldn't help but smack his tongue.

Five-year-old? When he was five years old, he was still playing with his friends, and they were already participating in the competition!

Look down and look at the information, fifteen years of experience in the competition...... From that conversation, I knew how much he loved modeling, and now it seems that it definitely falls into the category of fanaticism.

"John, unlike the other contestants, was an orphan since he was a child, without a father or mother. Not only do you have to run for life, but you also have to collect all kinds of materials, and it's really not easy to persevere......"

Du Yuhan nodded in agreement, "Isn't it, working as a waiter for nobles during the day, and practicing modeling at home at night—"

"Waitress for the aristocracy?" The judge was stunned, "John is a grocery store clerk and has never worked as a waiter. Besides, the servants of the noble family need to be strictly screened before they can work inside, and they are not recruited directly from the outside world at will. ”

Du Yuhan blinked.

And this rule?

But that day's dinner ......

"This kid is diligent and down-to-earth, and he never wants to be crooked."

"And he's quite talented."

"He's still an honest and polite child."

……

Lowering his head and glancing at John, who was studying the proposition of the competition, Du Yuhan was a little puzzled, "Anyway, why don't you consider taking him as an apprentice?" ”

Listening to the tone of the two, they should be very appreciative of John's character and skills, it stands to reason that he should be a rare good student, but why has no one accepted him as an apprentice and accepted systematic learning?

Was John unwilling?

But his attitude at the dinner party doesn't look like that?

Unexpectedly, when the two judges heard this, their faces became a little ugly, and they didn't say a reason for a long time.

Seeing their difficulties, Du Yuhan shrugged his shoulders and decided not to ask any more questions, and once again focused on the field.

*****

The afterglow of the setting sun shines through the high windows on the stone wall, and in the evening, the stuffiness in the air finally subsides considerably, and occasionally a slight cool evening breeze blows.

Declining the dinner invitations of several nobles, Du Yuhan stiffened his waist and walked slowly towards the judges' exclusive lounge.

Six events a day is really tiring enough, and I have to finish today's report in the evening, and I have to continue six events tomorrow...... Thinking about this, he felt his head go big.

This kind of competition is not at all easier than regular competition......

Looking back at the day's competition, although it was only at the beginner level, many of the players were still remarkable. I didn't expect that there was such a way to give the material, and he had never seen it in Lindot before this. Not only can new effects be blended, but they will not change their own properties.

It seems that the trip has been quite fruitful.

Just as Du Yuhan was slowly sorting out his newly learned skills, he looked up and found a figure squatting by the door of the lounge.

Hey? That's not—
