Chapter 1: The Examination of Hell (I)
On the way, Xuan Mingyuan seemed to be looking for something, and kept looking left and right. As he got closer to the arena, Xuan Mingyuan's expression became more and more serious.
Seeing Xuan Mingyuan looking around, Du Wenyu couldn't help but soothe: "It's me and not you who are being tested, how do you feel that you are more nervous than me." ”
"I'm not nervous!" Xuan Mingyuan replied absentmindedly.
Du Wenyu shook his head in disbelief and asked, "Then what are you looking at?"
"My eldest sister, she should be cleaning here, why can't she see anyone?If we can't find her, how can we have enough money to sign up?" Xuan Mingyuan replied with some distress.
Du Wenyu patted Xuan Mingyuan on the shoulder and comforted: "It's not a big deal, do you need to be so nervous?
"Hmph, it's no wonder if you're not nervous! These two costs add up to sixty pearls of good quality, and the two of us will have a total income from mining ore for a month. It's not very clear about the content of the assessment.,Because it's changing at any time.,I don't know the specifics.,It should be the assessment of fighting ability.。 Xuan Mingyuan replied in a speculative tone.
Du Wenyu grabbed his hair with his left hand, patted Xuan Mingyuan's shoulder with his right hand, and said in a flat tone: "It seems that we really need to work hard for the registration fee and deposit, so let's continue to look for your eldest sister." ”

The power stones are divided into four grades: ordinary, precious, rare and rare, and each grade of power stones is divided into three grades: inferior quality, excellent quality and precious quality.
In the independent space, the worst ones belong to the precious treasure-level energy stones, and any one of them is enough to withstand the income of the middle family for half a year.
Pearls only belong to the lowest-level ordinary energy stones, and Du Wenyu is naturally reluctant to take the risk of exchanging high-level energy stones, so he decided to let Xuan Mingyuan's eldest sister help.
Because they still need to find a target, the walking speed of Du Wenyu and you Xuan Mingyuan has become very slow.
Seeing Xuan Mingyuan's increasingly anxious eyes, Du Wenyu calmly reminded: "Are you sure your eldest sister works near here?"
"Of course I'm sure, I met her here the last time I came to buy medicine. Is it a shift change? Changed to rest during the day and work at night? Otherwise, let's go directly to her house to find out, it's not too far anyway. Xuan Mingyuan slapped his head and proposed.
Du Wenyu's expression became very helpless, and he asked without tears: "How long ago was the last time I bought medicine?" We haven't left the mine for more than half a year. ”
"Uh, has it been half a year?" Xuan Mingyuan scratched his head and made a thoughtful look.
At this moment, several women walked out of the side door of the arena with a long broom, and Xuan Mingyuan immediately stood on tiptoe and stretched his neck to look at it.
"It's her, it's her!"
After a while, Xuan Mingyuan shouted excitedly at Du Wenyu, and at the same time waved his hands vigorously and shouted loudly: "Eldest sister, eldest sister." ”
A chubby middle-aged woman suddenly turned around, walked over, and shouted, "Yo, little brother, when did you come, the eldest sister just got off work, and walked to the eldest sister's house to sit down." ”
Whether it was body type or facial features, Du Wenyu felt that Xuan Mingyuan was a little different from his eldest sister when he looked horizontally and vertically, and muttered in a low voice: "Why don't you look alike?"
Xuan Mingyuan smashed his mouth, lowered his head slightly and replied softly, "Half-brother." ”
Seeing the eldest sister coming over, Xuan Mingyuan hurriedly greeted him, and said with a smile: "I've been here for a while, it's so hard to find you, why did you run inside?"
The fat eldest sister carefully wiped the small beads of sweat from Xuan Mingyuan's forehead, and explained happily: "It means that your eldest sister has been promoted, and now she is in charge of the inner area of the arena, and her salary is higher than before." Little brother, don't go back today, let the eldest sister cook you a table of good dishes. ”
"Well, we'll talk about that then. Let me introduce first, this is my eldest sister - Xuan Xiaofeng. Eldest sister, this is my good brother - Du Wenyu. We used to mine together, but now that we're gone, we're here to fight boxing. Of course, it was Du Wenyu who played, and I was just his game manager. Xuan Mingyuan introduced with a smile.
Listening to Xuan Mingyuan's introduction, Xuan Xiaofeng specially looked at the lean young man in front of him.
After a while, Xuan Xiaofeng didn't speak, just shook his head slightly, and didn't seem to be optimistic about Du Wenyu's future.
Seeing Xuan Xiaofeng's unsatisfactory performance, Xuan Mingyuan patted his chest and hurriedly explained: "Eldest sister, don't worry! Du Wenyu is amazing, and he is guaranteed to be famous in the future!"
"Poof!"
Looking at Xuan Mingyuan's high-spirited little adult appearance, Xuan Xiaofeng couldn't help laughing, but he didn't say anything sarcastic and mocking, but asked: "Little brother, why are you looking for me in such a hurry? ”
"Hehe, eldest sister, you're so smart, then I'll just say it. Du Wenyu is going to take the assessment, and we haven't settled the registration fee and deposit yet, can we borrow some pearl coins for urgent use? As soon as we earn the money, we will return it to you immediately. Xuan Mingyuan's face showed a sincere expression, and he looked at Xuan Xiaofeng with pitiful eyes.
Xuan Xiaofeng did not refuse, nor did he immediately agree, but asked again: "Little brother, have you made up your mind to fight boxing?
"Mother's money for medical treatment hasn't been settled yet, how can I waste so much time joking!" Xuan Mingyuan changed his usual lively style and shouted in an unusually serious voice.
Xuan Xiaofeng nodded with satisfaction, turned to look at Du Wenyu, and asked, "Then are you confident?" Do you think your strength can gain a foothold in the league?"
"Yes, I believe it!" Du Wenyu replied directly without being verbose.
Xuan Xiaofeng nodded again, turned around, and said calmly to the two of them: "Then what registration fees and deposits do you need? ”
"Uh, eldest sister, what does this mean?" Xuan Mingyuan asked a little confused, puzzled.
"How can there be any application fee and deposit to participate in the assessment? During the assessment, you only need to sign a personal accident contract, and only after the assessment is successful, will the various payments be made. After all, many people go to boxing matches to earn some hard-earned money, and their real strength is not enough to pass the assessment, so they will pay bribes to recruiters in order to pass the assessment smoothly or directly. Xuan Xiaofeng cleaned the arena cleanly, and naturally understood these semi-public rules very clearly, so he patiently explained to the two.
After listening to Xuan Xiaofeng's explanation, the two suddenly realized.
"Mean, you don't need to pay a fee for the time being?Uh, big sister, how much is the registration fee for the tournament manager?" Xuan Mingyuan continued to ask.
Xuan Xiaofeng didn't talk nonsense, and said directly: "Twenty pearl coins." ”
"Then eldest sister, you can lend me twenty pearl coins. Xuan Mingyuan pulled Xuan Xiaofeng's sleeve and said, a little coquettish.
Xuan Xiaofeng shook his head slightly, and his speech slowed down, so that his voice was so clear that Xuan Mingyuan could hear it clearly: "That's not necessary." If he is really good, he will go to participate in the most difficult assessment project, as long as he passes, not only does he not need to pay out of his own pocket, but the event center will also post a sum of money, which is enough for you to successfully support until the time of the fight. ”
With a slight flick of his hand, his sleeves broke free from Xuan Mingyuan's grasp, and Xuan Xiaofeng said softly: "If you come to the eldest sister's house as a guest, the eldest sister welcomes you very much, but if you want to wade into this troubled water, the eldest sister will not only not help you, but also dissuade you, otherwise our dead father will blame me for not fulfilling my duties as the eldest sister." ”
Before Xuan Mingyuan could speak, Xuan Xiaofeng took a long-handled broom and turned to leave.
After Xuan Xiaofeng walked away, Xuan Mingyuan hung his head and said: "I knew that she was still so picky, and after saying so much, she just didn't want to borrow money." ”
"Actually, she just doesn't think well of us. Du Wenyu also understood this in his heart, and comforted: "Don't say that, Xuan Mingyuan, your eldest sister is also for good, and I don't want you to go astray." However, you must also believe in our choice, I will not let you down!"
Hearing Du Wenyu's comfort, Xuan Mingyuan's mood also improved slightly, clenched his fists, and shouted loudly: "Yes, she is not optimistic about us, because she has not seen your battle scene, and I have seen it with my own eyes, so she has strong confidence." Since she doesn't have hope for us, we need to prove it to her. ”
Seeing that Xuan Mingyuan was not seriously hit by this, Du Wenyu said with a smile: "Of course it's best if you can think so." ”
"Well, let's go!" Xuan Mingyuan held his head high, ready to go to the center of the arena.
