In the middle of June, Bang Ta City was already a little hot, and the bright sunlight was pouring down, baking the streets of Bang Ta City, which were already covered with concrete roads, and steaming up, making people walk on the road for a short time before a layer of fine stinky sweat, which did not feel very good.

However, this did not make the city of Bangta any less populated, and it was still as lively and prosperous as usual.

As the founding place of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the origin of the mainland's magic industry, and the cargo transit point of the Lampari Kingdom, the Ruerson Kingdom, and the Principality of Staten, Bonta City has become one of the most prosperous cities in the Lampari Kingdom and the southwest corner of the entire continent.

The current Bang Ta City has been expanded several times, and the urban area alone is more than 20 times the size of the old Bang Ta City, and the permanent population has exceeded 600,000 in one fell swoop from only about 50,000 before, becoming the most populous city in the entire Lampari Kingdom, even more than 100,000 more than the royal capital Anweimar City.

If you add in the large number of floating people that are maintained here all year round, it is possible that the total population of Bonta City will even exceed one million.

A city with such a large population is naturally extremely lively and prosperous at any time.

It's just that today, this bustle and prosperity is more obvious than usual.

In particular, in the neighborhoods around the old town of Bang Ta City, the number of people walking on the streets is more than double the usual, crowding all the streets of the old town of Bang Ta City, almost to the point of being so crowded that it is impossible to get through.

This is undoubtedly a very strange phenomenon.

Since the expansion of the new town of Bangta City. Under the conscious guidance of the Lord's Mansion of Bangta City. Bonta City's new magical industry and new population have been moving into the new town. Even the residents of Bonta City, who used to live in the old town, gradually moved to the new city because of the better planning and more convenient facilities in the new town.

The current old town of Bang Ta City, on the contrary, has a much smaller permanent population than before, probably maintaining about 30,000 all the time, which cannot create a crowded situation at all.

The only possibility of this happening is if there is some high-profile event in the Old Town.

However, it is often the case that a particularly high-profile event is held. I should also choose the new town.

After all, the new city has a wide area and convenient transportation, so no matter how you look at it, it is much better than holding it in the old city.

So usually, the old town has always been quiet and peaceful, almost the opposite of the laid-back appearance of the new town.

Today is an exception, and neither the residents of the old town, nor the people of the new town, who have come to the old town today, are not at all surprised by this situation.

Because for today's event, the "Bonta Daily" has already made a preview a few days ago.

On June 18, Xu Yi, president of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. A personal press conference will be held in Bonta City.

If there is a city on the Sainz continent that is most closely related to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, I believe that the vast majority of people are talking about Xinfeicheng, a new type of city built by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce himself. The name of Bunta City will come to mind.

As the city where the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce was founded at the time, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can be said to have been closely associated with Bangta City in the early and middle periods.

If it weren't for the various turmoil within the Lampari Kingdom, which eventually led to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce being forced to withdraw from Bangta City and withdraw from the Lampari Kingdom at the same time, I am afraid that the current main base of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce would still be set up in Bangta City.

The Falling Rain Valley outside Bonta City is still the most important magical industrial base in Bonta City and even the Lampari Kingdom, and most of the things in it are still left by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

The natives of Bangta City still remember the changes brought to Bangta City after the emergence of the New Flying Merchants, and until now they are still enjoying the various benefits left by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce to Bangta City, and naturally have a deep affection for the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.

So when I heard that Xu Yi was going to Bang Ta City to hold a personal press conference, all the people in Bang Ta City were excited and looking forward to it.

On June 18, countless people poured into the old town of Bang Ta City early in the morning, for nothing else, just to be able to participate in Xu Yi's personal press conference in person and to be able to see Xu Yi in person again.

Since a press conference in Bang Ta City many years ago, Xu has not appeared in public for more than a decade.

Although he has appeared on the battlefield with the Candela Empire, the vast majority of ordinary people have rarely been able to see him in person, and at most they can only see some images of him through the magical illusion projection devices set up by the Crescent Chamber of Commerce in various places.

Even if it is not for the feelings for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and Xu Yi, just for Xu Yi, who can now be said to be the most famous person in the Sainz continent and a powerful magister, is enough to attract countless people to witness his appearance.

Among the people who poured into the old city of Bonta City, in addition to ordinary civilians, there were also countless newspaper reporters from various countries and cities on the continent of Sainz.

Xu also held a personal press conference, which was definitely the biggest news in the past six months, except for the signing of an armistice agreement between the two empires and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and no newspaper wanted to miss it.

And although the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has held many press conferences and product launches before, it is the first time that a press conference has been held in name like this one.

What's more, this is Xu Yi's personal press conference, and everyone is very interested, what does he want to announce through this press conference?

So as soon as the news was received, all the newspapers on the mainland sent reporters to Bangta City.

There were even many newspaper reporters who simply stationed in the old town of Bang Ta City many days in advance, waiting for Xu Yi's personal press conference.

As it turned out, the journalists who came ahead of schedule were wise.

On June 18, the old town of Bang Ta City was so crowded that it was almost impossible to walk, and it was extremely difficult to get to the scene of the press conference, Bang Ta City Town Square.

Fortunately, the city lord's mansion of Bangta City had long expected this situation, and a large number of city guards were deployed in each street in advance to maintain order.

But despite this, the streets of the Old Town were completely blocked from early in the morning, and every street leading to the town square was filled with restless crowds.

But just outside the old city, there are still countless people who are heading towards the old city, and there is no intention of stopping at all.

"President Xu, you really hurt me this time. Count Belmore, the lord of Bonta City, looked at a street in the distance that was in chaos due to congestion, and complained to Xu Yi beside him with a wry smile. "It took me a lot of effort to restore the old town to its former tranquility, and now that you're here, all your efforts are in vain. ”

Xu Yi laughed and made a helpless gesture to Count Belmore.

"I didn't expect such a big reaction, I thought that at most some newspaper reporters would be interested in holding a personal press conference for me, but I didn't expect that the civilians would be so interested. ”

Count Belmore could only continue to smile bitterly: "President Xu, don't you know how popular you are in the minds of these civilians now? Since your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce defeated the two empires, I dare to say that in the hearts of the vast majority of ordinary people on this continent, you, the president of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, are probably not much worse than the gods." Say, how can people not be crazy about the sudden arrival of a god in the city of Bonta and his public meeting with everyone?"

"You're exaggerating. Xu Yi shook his head slowly. "First of all, it was not our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce that defeated the two empires, but the combined forces of your Lampari Kingdom and the Ruerson Kingdom. Secondly, this is not the credit of me alone, it should be the credit of everyone in the entire Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. ”

The Count of Belmore pointed to the noisy crowd in the distance: "Say this to them, and see if they will listen." ”

Xu Yi rolled his eyes, thinking to himself that I came from the earth, and I know better than you how terrible it is for those star-chasing clans to become fanatical.

Obviously, because of the results of the previous war with the two empires, he, the president of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, has become the most famous person on the Sainz continent, and he can be said to be the emperor superstar.

In a world where information is far from being developed, it is only natural that such an emperor superstar as him will publicly announce that he will be exposed to the public and cause a sensation.

Xu Yi also expected this before, but he didn't expect that the people in this world would chase the stars, and they would be no worse than those star chasers on the earth, and even more fanatical.

"This is not the way to go, Count Belmore, go and give notice, and say that my personal press conference is only open to the reporters of the major newspapers by invitation, and that the rest of the people should not participate, and ask them to withdraw. ”

Count Belmore glanced at Xu Yi with a strange expression and shook his head.

"President Xu, do you believe that if I go out and say these words to them now, I will be killed directly by the angry crowd immediately?"

"Is that an exaggeration?"

"It's that exaggerated!" said the Count of Belmore, unequivocally.

"So what do you mean...... Let me say it?" Xu Yi pointed to himself.

The expression on Count Belmore's face softened instantly, and there was even a hint of pleading in his eyes.

"President Xu, if I can do it, how can I trouble you to come forward in person. But as you can see, these people are probably losing their minds now, and I really don't have the confidence to control the situation without casualties. So...... I can only trouble you to work more. ”

Xu Yi glanced at the crazy crowd surrounding the city square in the distance outside the window and smiled bitterly.

"Well, that's self-inflicted. ”

After speaking, Xu Yi directly pushed open the window, and in an instant he had already flown over the city square of Bangta City. (To be continued......)
