In Lian Xiulin's luxurious office, the three of Xin Lin sat down as guests, and the simulation robot immediately served tea. Lian Chengbi sat alone on the sofa on the other side, with a correct posture and an indifferent expression, looking very calm.

Lian Xiulin took a sip of tea, got straight to the point, and asked, "Xin Lone, do you have any other arrangements for the next three months?" ”

Xin Lin shook his head and said, "Not for the time being." ”

"If there is no best, I will be relieved." Lian Xiulin clapped his hands, his face was happy, and when he saw the doubts on Xin Lian's face, he explained: "That's the case, we at Hongqiao Sports would like to invite you as a representative of the company to participate in the 'Year Star Cup' martial arts tournament to be held in Jupiter next month." ”

"Year Star Cup Martial Arts Tournament?"

Xin Lin recalled in his mind that there were large and small events held in the Federation every day, and some of the competitions were famous and noticeable, but most of the games were unknown, and he was sure that he had never heard of this event, and said: "Mr. Lian, I can't make a decision easily without enough understanding. What level of competition is this, amateur or professional? ”

"Don't rush, I'll tell you what's going on slowly."

Lian Xiulin laughed and said, "The Star Cup Martial Arts Tournament is an amateur ring tournament hosted by the 'Jupiter Business Federation', and this year is the first one, so it's normal that you haven't heard of it. The name is the Year Star Cup, because the ancient people called Jupiter the Year Star, of course, this is the name of our Oriental descendants, and the West called it the 'Jupiter Cup', anyway, it all means the same thing. ”

"This time, the Jupiter Chamber of Commerce has made a big determination to make the Star Cup a large-scale event brand, as long as it is a private enterprise in the Jupiter system, whether it is in the political and economic center of Europa, or other Galileo satellite groups, including the six space cities, each company has two places."

"That's a lot of participants!" Xin Lonely said with a frown, a lot of information about Jupiter flashed through his mind.

Jupiter is a gas giant made up of 90% hydrogen and 10% helium and other trace elements, with an ocean of liquid hydrogen up to 27,000 kilometers thick beneath a 3,000-kilometer-thick atmosphere, and solid metallic hydrogen below. Both hydrogen and helium can be used as industrial energy, and Jupiter is almost inexhaustible.

Not to mention, the endless metallic hydrogen beneath Jupiter's hydrogen ocean is a super bonanza that can never be mined.

Metallic hydrogen is a superconductor at room temperature, which is very common in life, and almost all electronic components and energy transmission systems use metallic hydrogen in large quantities. It can also be used to make a variety of engines, including fusion power furnaces, and is also a material for making alloy armor, while also being a clean and efficient fuel that can be used in a wide range of applications.

But the most impressive thing is that metallic hydrogen can be used as an ultra-high-energy explosive!

When the chemical energy stored in metallic hydrogen is released in a short period of time, it produces an explosive effect that is thirty times more powerful than TNT, which was once known as the "king of explosives"! Thus metallic hydrogen was used to make conventional bombs, which were used in large quantities in wars, and countless creatures died from its energy release.

Therefore, Jupiter was the most important energy center of the Earth Federation at the beginning of the interstellar age, and to this day, it is still one of the economic centers of the Federation, with a large number of industrial bases and countless factories of all kinds.

Jupiter has 67 moons, the four Galilean moons - Europa, Europa, Europa, Callisto, the smallest are about the same size as the Moon, the largest is larger than Mercury, and the Earth Federation has been continuously transforming them to varying degrees over the years, especially Europa, which is the most suitable for colonization, with a resident population of more than 500 million, and is the third largest citizen settlement in the solar system.

In addition to the four moons, there are also six huge man-made space cities orbiting Jupiter, each of which is a super factory with a large population, ranging from millions to hundreds of millions!

Jupiter's system has a combined population of nearly one billion people, and there are at least a million companies in it, and if each company sends two people to participate, the competition will be very long and difficult.

Lian Xiulin knew Xin Lian's thoughts, and said: "The contestants will not be as many as you think, just allowing private enterprises to participate in this event will eliminate many people." You should be aware that half of the largest companies and factories on Jupiter are federally owned and generally do not participate in civic activities. And after all, Force Warriors are not everywhere, many companies do not have Force Warriors, although there is no explicit restriction on ordinary people to participate, but presumably few ordinary people are willing to take the stage to bring humiliation on themselves. ”

"In addition, the Star Cup also has specific conditions for participants, and it is estimated that only tens of thousands of people are really qualified to participate."

"The first is age, which must be a young person under the age of forty. The second is that generals are not allowed to participate, of course, this article can basically be ignored, there are only a handful of generals under the age of forty in the entire federation, and they will not surrender themselves to participate in the competition. The last rule is that Star Wars samurai can't participate, not even college team members, after all, this is an amateur competition, and the advantage of professional players is too great to let ordinary people challenge their jobs with hobbies! ”

Hearing Lian Xiulin's last words, Xin Lin couldn't help laughing, this is a joke that has been circulated for a long time.

Since ancient times, there have always been many people on the Internet who like to brag about themselves and compare themselves with Star Wars Samurai, and in the end they all prove that they are vulnerable, and the gap between the average Force Samurai and Star Wars Samurai is like a world of difference, so don't challenge their jobs with your hobbies!

However, Lian Xiulin's introduction made Xin Lin very interested, thinking that this year-old Star Cup martial arts tournament seemed to be really suitable for him.

Force warriors under the age of forty, most of them are junior or intermediate, very few have cultivated to the level of senior warriors, and those with outstanding talent or strong strength generally participate in the Star Wars League, even if they are not Star Wars warriors, at least they are members of the school team, so they are eliminated.

Xin Lin is neither a Star Wars samurai nor a member of the school team, and in the eyes of everyone, he can indeed only be regarded as an amateur, and there is no doubt that he is eligible to participate.

He has now condensed nine Force nodes, and all nine nodes are constantly growing, and the cultivation method is still "Seven-Colored Stellar Flame", which is by no means comparable to ordinary junior warriors. What's more, with the martial arts realm of Xin Lone, he can almost sweep away the Force warriors under the age of forty, even if it is a Star Wars warrior, he can do it right!

But what are the benefits of participating in competitions?

"Mr. Lian, why does Hongqiao Sports attach so much importance to the Star Cup?" Xin Lin asked directly.

Lian Xiulin glanced at the daughter next to him, and saw that she didn't mean to open her mouth at all, so she could only say: "We Hongqiao Sports have always wanted to break into the Jupiter market, and we have set up a branch there, and Chengbi has been hosting the work for many years in the past, to be honest, the results are average." This is not a matter of Chengbi's ability, the competition in the Jupiter market is too fierce, more than a dozen sporting goods companies are fighting bloody, and no one can help anyone, each company's market share is about the same, there is almost no profit at all, and it is losing money every year. ”

"I've had a headache for this thing for a long time, and it's not a way to consume it like this, after all, the strength of Hongqiao Sports can only be regarded as medium in the industry, and the funds are limited and can't afford to spend it, so I want to quit at the end of the year." Speaking of this, Lian Xiulin had a wry smile on his face, which showed that he was really worried about this matter.

Lian Chengbi on the side also frowned, a little unwilling and helpless, after all, this is her poor work, and it has hit her hard.

"Fortunately, this time the Jupiter Chamber of Commerce held the Year Star Cup Martial Arts Competition, which gave me an opportunity." Lian Xiulin's eyes flashed, and he said: "In order to promote the Star Year Cup, the Jupiter Chamber of Commerce spared no expense, and the top eight companies in the end will be supported by the policy of the Chamber of Commerce. ”

"The Jupiter Business Federation is one of the largest forces on Jupiter, second only to the federal government in influence, and there is also government support behind this competition, the Chamber of Commerce and the government jointly promote, if Hongqiao Sports can get their policy support and get a large order, I am confident to take the opportunity to beat back competitors and seize market share."

Lian Xiulin looked at Xin Lian, his eyes were blazing, and he said: "Xin Lian, I have seen the video taken by Su Fei, although I am not a Force Warrior, but I also know that your strength is definitely not ordinary. As soon as the news of the Star Cup came out last week, I sent the video to Cheng Bi to see, she is also a Force samurai, and her strength is good, but she is over age. This time, Chengbi deliberately rushed back to Earth, just to test your strength, I hope you don't mind. ”

"I don't mind." Xin Lin couldn't help but glance at Lian Chengbi, looking at her young and beautiful appearance, it turned out that she was already forty years old.

"Chengbi, let's talk about it." Lian Xiulin looked at his daughter, feeling a little strange in his heart that she didn't seem to be in a state tonight. He knows that his daughter has always been pretending to be a man of color, which is due to her personality, but usually she will be restrained at work and will not be so obvious.

Lian Chengbi said coldly: "No need to try, he can participate in the competition, and there is no problem in scoring in the top eight." ”

"Didn't you say you had to fight to be sure?" Lian Xiulin was surprised, she didn't say that on the phone a few days ago, how can she change her words now.

Xin Lin laughed secretly, it seems that Lian Chengbi didn't tell anyone about yesterday, but it is understandable, after all, she made a sneak attack and was beaten by herself, and in the end even her image was destroyed, which is indeed a bit embarrassing.

Lian Chengbi didn't want to expose his pain in front of his father, so he swept his eyes casually and said: "In that video, he is still an ordinary person, even if the martial arts realm is high, his strength is very limited. Now that we meet, I'm sure he's condensed the Force Node, so there's no problem. ”

This is the rhetoric that Lian Chengbi had thought of before, she really didn't want to fight with Xin Lin again, she was still afraid of yesterday's battle, and when she thought about it, the internal injuries on her body ached faintly.

"Okay, now that you've confirmed." Lian Xiulin didn't know the reason, and was fooled by his daughter's words.

He turned his head and said solemnly: "Xin Lian, if you can represent Hongqiao Sports in the competition, regardless of success or failure, we will pay you 10 million!" If you can make it to the top eight, you will have an additional 10 million prizes! ”

"In addition, the Jupiter Chamber of Commerce may reward the participants of the Year Star Cup, as long as they enter the top 64, they can get a prize of 100,000 yuan, the top 32 will receive a prize of 300,000, the top 16 will be 500,000, the top eight will be 1 million, the top 4 will be 3 million, the runner-up will be 10 million, and the champion will have 50 million!"

"Xin Lone, what do you think? Do you want to give you time to think about it? Lian Xiulin's gaze fell on Xin Lian, expecting his reply.

Xin Shi's eyes lit up when he heard this, if he could get the championship bonus, then he could buy the remaining exercises of the warrior stage of "Seven Colors Stellar Flame" at one time, at least for a period of time, he didn't have to worry about money!

"Mr. Lian, don't think about it anymore, I am willing to represent Hongqiao Sports to participate in the Star Cup Martial Arts Competition." Xin Xiao immediately agreed, and he was determined to win this bonus.
