In the blink of an eye, it was the day of the opening ceremony.

The stadium set up in front of the White Dragon Palace was crowded with people and was very lively.

The opening ceremony was very large, with dozens of triangular chess pieces across the square. Several lavishly decorated floatboats fly slowly overhead, scattering countless bright flower petals.

The petals sprinkled one after another are like spring rain, sprinkled on people's hair and shoulders, full of fairy tale colors.

Compared to the desertion of the group stage, the stands are already overcrowded. Spectators with no place crowded wooden ladders and aisles, and vendors selling soda and popcorn struggled to move through the crowd. It is said that a seat with a silver coin was sold for three gold coins, which is more than 30 times the original price, and the VIP seat with a better position is even more expensive.

Although there is a live webcast, you can only feel the warm atmosphere when you are there in person, so many places where you can't see the ring are occupied. There is still a big difference between watching a live broadcast with a portable screen and watching a live broadcast at home.

Chen Xing brought Lao K, Xiao Yang, two maids, and two quick healers from the Church of Light to the venue. Suna didn't have much contact with society, and for fear of accidents, she stayed on the floatboat.

Also coming were Ye Yang Qingyan, the sisters of the Shiraishi family, Ito Ryoko and other people from the guards.

In the player's rest area, Chen Xing met several acquaintances. To be precise, it cannot be regarded as an acquaintance, but can only be said to be a "person who has met". Because they don't have a friendship with each other, they just meet each other and know who the other party is.

They are Zhang Meng, a side descendant of the Zhang family in Gray Corner City, Luo Shaoqing of the Luo family, and Roy of the former Moore family in Raven City.

The three of them came to greet Ye Yang Qingyan and the Baishi sisters, and they were all stunned when they saw Chen Xing. Zhang Meng nodded and smiled, even if he had said hello, Luo Shaoqing also nodded, and Roy Moore was expressionless, as if he was a stranger.

Things are different now. Chen Xing is no longer the captain of the fringe town three years ago, trembling in front of the children of the family, as if he is on the edge of the abyss. Now he is not only the actual mayor of Orchid Town, but also the president of the "Hanging Skull Alliance", the head of the Three Towns, the chairman of Zombie Paradise, and the shareholder of the Beiqiao Group's investment in Crow Market. Whether it is strength or status, it is only higher than the three of them.

So Chen Xing responded to the other party in the same way - nodding lightly. As for Roy, this lost dog, he didn't even bother to look at it.

Dealing with people, Chen Xing has always been very simple. You treat me as a passerby, I treat you as a passerby, you treat me as a friend, I treat you as a friend, it's that simple, it's so rude.

Of course, if the difference in strength between the two sides is too great, the situation will have to be another matter. is like Alia, even if he treats him like a mustard, he still treats her like his first love, because there is no human right under the huge strength gap.

The word equality can only be used in the case of equal strength. Between dragons and ants, there is no such thing.

In this world, we always talk about strength first, and then reason.

As the saying goes, words don't speculate for more than half a sentence. Due to the cold attitude of both parties, the three of them greeted each other and returned to their rest area.

Although they all showed that they wanted to get closer to the people in the guards, Chen Xing was here, like a frost-making machine, and the atmosphere was very strange.

And Ye Yang Qingyan was next to Chen Xing, and they seemed to have a very intimate relationship, and they seemed estranged from each other, so they had to leave.

Lounge area

, through the crowd, looking at his childhood friend sitting side by side with other men, talking and laughing, Roy's gaze became a little complicated.

When he went to Orchid Town three years ago, he walked with Ye Yang Qingyan. Although there is no clear good feeling, everyone is a child of a family, one is a high-spirited teenager, and the other is a beautiful and lively girl. Perhaps in the eyes of others, it is a match made in heaven.

However, at this moment, the person standing next to the girl was replaced by the countryman who stood opposite him back then, and he stood in the other party's position.

In my heart, it was like knocking over the five-flavor bottle, and I felt unspeakably uncomfortable and lonely.

At this time, the childhood friend seemed to be amused by each other, pursed his lips, with a cheerful smile on his face, and his body was completely up, holding each other's arms tightly, like a playful little couple.

Seeing this scene, he felt more and more pain, as if he had sprinkled salt on the cut wound, and the pain hurt to the bone marrow.

At this time, the party who caused great harm to the down-and-out family suddenly didn't know it, while enjoying the warm fragrance and softness of the body of the other party's childhood friend, while drinking the mellow red wine sent by the maid, he was happy.

Time passes, things are not people. The world is impermanent, and the situation of both sides has changed so dramatically, which is really embarrassing.

But I don't know how much effort Chen Xing has put in to get to where he is today, how many times he has passed through the ghost gate, and how many times he has gritted his teeth and fought to the end.

Behind the scenery, there is a lot of sadness and determination.

In the first life, others were playing, he was studying, others were in love, he was working hard, others were lazy in the office, and he was pushing products through the streets and alleys under the scorching sun.

Those who work hard will always be rewarded. Three years after graduating, he has been in the top three in sales performance, and he has taken the position of sales manager. Not to mention how beautiful it is, at least you can live a decent life in a first-tier city.

In the second life, facing a completely unfamiliar world, he started from the bottom, step by step, and also sat in the position of the leader of the mercenary team, and his income was several times that of ordinary people.

Now in this third life, he killed Wang Bo, seized the territory, fled thousands of miles, exiled to the Black Death Continent, fought a life-and-death battle with the Wolf King, abolished the three princes of Silver Claw, and came all the way from the edge of life and death to have today's achievements.

A famous cartoonist once said that a scar is a badge of manhood. After three lifetimes, he has countless medals on his body.

The opening ceremony lasted for more than two hours, and people sang and danced and carnivaled.

When the song and dance performance came to an end, the voice of inquiry sounded in the side hall on the third floor of the White Dragon Palace.

"The first round of the draw is about to start, does Childe have any other instructions?"

It was a handsome young man who spoke. Boys and girls are so handsome that they don't talk like words. The face is like white jade, the eyes are like stars, the white dress is slender and decent, and the expression is soft and humble, giving people a very comfortable feeling.

"You don't need to be so humble when you talk to me."

The crown prince, who was standing by the arched window, slowly turned around, stretched out his hand, and helped his best friend, who was half-kneeling on the ground, up. His movements are light, as if he is facing a fragile piece of glass.

Lancet Modleck, the crown prince's most powerful aide and closest friend.

The two have known each other since childhood. Go to school together and compete for the first place in the grade

One, pick up girls together, drink all night together,

The same talent, the same excellence, the same arrogance, the same unruliness.

It's just that they hide their pride deep in their bones, and their faces show humility and gentleness. The ancients said that a gentleman is like jade, and that's probably it.

They are classmates, competitors, and the most important people to each other. They are all the relatives of the heavens, talented and powerful, like the pearls of the fallen earth, the pride of the heavens. In their school, they will always be the first and second on the list. The past resume is like a template for an honor student, each item is perfect, and you can't find the slightest flaw.

"You are the crown prince of the Malan royal family, and I am just an inferior nobleman......"

Lancet's words were interrupted by long, outstretched fingers, hooking his jaw and lifting it slightly, meeting his star-like eyes.

"Then from today onwards, you are the Grand Duke of Modleck." Joan announced.

"You're not a king yet." Lancet brushed aside his flirtatious fingers and said earnestly, "Even the Grand Duke should obey the courtesy of a monarch when facing the king. ”

"What a stubborn man." Qiao An frowned slightly, but the corners of her mouth had a playful smile, "One day, I will throw all this red tape into the trash." ”

"Looking forward to this day. Until then, though, we should abide by these stereotypes. Lancet insisted.

Joan didn't answer, turned her head slowly, looked out the window, looked at the lively crowd in the square, was silent for a long time, and said, "Do you know, for me, you are a special ......"

"I know." Lancet seemed to sigh, "It's because I'm special that I have to." ”

"The monarch and the minister are rude, and the more times like this, the more we must uphold the orthodox etiquette."

There was silence again in the side room. After a long time, Joan waved her hand, "Okay......"

Then he talked about the arrangement of the game, "Let's do it, let those who are useless to me face off as soon as possible." ”

Lancet stepped aside, dialed the voice of the person in charge of the scene with a black watch, gave a few commands, and then returned to Joan, "It's been arranged." ”

At half past ten in the morning, the draw began. Under the arrangement of the host, more than 100 contestants took the stage in turn to draw lots.

After a seemingly fair black-box operation, the roster for the competition came out.

The most gimmicky one is the Sikong Shengjie of the Great East Court against the White Night Elegance of the Great West Garden.

Sikong Shengjie is known as the first person of the younger generation of the Red Country, with the blood of a fierce phoenix, and is known as invincible below the lord.

White Night Fenghua is the eldest princess of the Principality of White Night, although she is not as famous as Lacey, but she is also a peerless woman. It is said that when he was young, he was gifted and dull, but he worked extremely hard, and at the age of twelve, he secretly took the hero potion made by the Demon Jiao crystal nucleus, and after nine deaths, he finally obtained the power of the Demon Jiao.

The self-created "Tibetan Swordsmanship" is like a dragon going to sea, the phoenix flies for nine days, it is incomparably powerful, and it is also known as invincible below the lord.

The duel between the two became the finale of the first day of the game, and as soon as the list was announced, a large amount of gambling money poured in, amounting to hundreds of millions.

Chen Xing faced Roy, a contestant who was also from the Red Dragon Principality.
