Chapter XXIII
After four days, Zhenbi finally ended. Hong Feng lost the finals, and it turned out that he was self-inflicted. He stepped off the platform and left the plaza straight in one direction. Several people from Hong Feng's group also followed him and left. I have to say that Hong Feng's strength is very strong, and he finally won the runner-up, but he was not half happy, because Mo Hang, who was once bullied by him, defeated him and stood in front of him.
At the end of the competition, the referee announced the list of the top ten contestants, and it was clear that now the top ten of the young generation in Tai'an Town, the dark horse of Mohang, surpassed Hong Feng and became the most dazzling champion at present. In this era of respect for strength, strength is the most important, and all forces and families will rely on fresh blood such as the younger generation to stabilize or grow in the future. If the Mo family has this talent, maybe they will become powerful in the future.
The mayor of the town still read out the closing speech very formally, and told the contestants who were still in the top ten on the spot to collect the rewards of the competition at the Fortune Chamber of Commerce three days later, and as for the contestants who left, someone would naturally convey that it was not the mayor's business if they came or not.
The Jucai Chamber of Commerce is the largest and only chamber of commerce in Tai'an Town, which belongs to the mayor's family. The mayor's name is Guo Huaicai, the younger brother of the patriarch of the Guo family, he has both talent and virtue, and his strength is also extremely strong, and he is at the sixth level of Lingzong, so he was elected as the mayor of the town. Guo Huaicai is very business-minded, and the management of affairs is only orderly, and the Guo family handed over the management of the Jucai Chamber of Commerce to him, so it can be said that he is the president of the Chamber of Commerce. And the position of the patriarch of the Guo family is said to be inherited by the eldest son, that is, his eldest brother Guo Ba, and Guo Huaicai did not compete with him. If he is more ambitious and disregards family affection, then he is the head of the Guo family.
Three days later, Mohang came to the Jucai Chamber of Commerce. In the hall of the Chamber of Commerce, six of the top 10 contestants have arrived, and they are sitting on their seats and waiting. The mayor Guo Huaicai has not yet come out, and there is only one maid in the hall to entertain a few people. Mo Hang entered the hall under the leadership of a maid, and several people inside greeted him when they saw Mo Hang's arrival, they had no grievances with Mo Hang, and for the champion of Zhenbi, it was beneficial and harmless to have a good relationship.
Mo Hang found a random chair and sat down, looked at the hall, and waited with a few people.
In the hall, two rows of chairs are placed opposite each other, with two chairs at one end and a wooden table in the middle. On the wall behind the seat, there was a large picture of a tiger descending the mountain. In addition, in each of the four corners of the hall, a large vermilion round wooden pillar supports the beams. In addition, there is not much furnishings, and in general, the hall is very simple.
While waiting, several people talked in low voices, mainly discussing the town than reward. About half an hour passed, ten people arrived, and Hong Feng was the last to come, he had a straight face, as if several people owed him money and hadn't paid it back. Then, the maid who had served here before stepped back, and after a while, the mayor Guo Huaicai walked to a horizontal chair in the hall with a smile on his face and sat down, looking amiable and approachable, without the slightest arrogance as the mayor of the town.
He said to the ten people: "Congratulations, you have performed very well in the competition, and according to the usual practice, we will provide prizes as your rewards. First of all, you will be qualified to enter Chaoyang City Yanyang Academy. As soon as the words fell, a few people in the hall began to mumble, Yanyang Academy is their best college, the college has strict requirements for the admission of new students, not if you want to enter, this alone is enough to make a few people excited.
Mo Hang looked at Guo Huaicai, his face was still calm, there was a "master" who helped him cultivate, he didn't need to enter the academy at all. Hong Feng didn't look excited, he stared at Mo Hang deadly, just like Mo Hang had a deep hatred with him, this kind of open-minded person is really not valued, I really don't know why someone looks down on him.
Guo Huaicai paused for a while, and when he saw that the muttering disappeared, he spoke: "And the prizes are red-level weapons, ordinary-level armor and basic martial arts, due to the difference in rankings, the number of choices can be different, the fourth to tenth places can be selected the same, the third place can be selected two, the second place is three, and the champion is selected four." ”
Speaking of the word champion, Guo Huaicai stared at Mo Hang with both eyes, and increased his voice. He didn't say first, but used words that were the envy of many, with some other intentions. For a young man with good cultivation talent and a bright future, how could Guo Huaicai, who has a bright head, not value it. Mo Hang's past was investigated by him clearly, and the results also shocked him.
Hong Feng heard the word champion and Guo Huaicai's action of staring at Mo Hang, his fists were immediately clenched, and his heart was full of grief and indignation, he still couldn't understand how the former waste could have snatched away the honor that should have belonged to him.
Guo Huaicai continued: "You should all know about red-level weapons and basic martial arts, and armor is rare in a small place like ours, so I will explain it in a wordy manner." Unlike weapons, which identify their rank by the orbs embedded in them, they do not have orbs, and their rank depends on their function. Armor is divided into normal armor, intermediate armor, advanced armor and special armor, which is what I know so far. As the name suggests, armor is an artifact that increases its own defense, and its appearance varies. For these prizes, if you are not satisfied, we will exchange them in gold coins, and the same prize is ten gold coins. The prizes are placed in a specific warehouse, and you can go in and pick them in a moment, and then come back here. The items in the warehouse are recorded, you should know what I mean. After speaking, Guo Huaicai clapped his hands a few times, and the maid from before came to the hall again, and said to the ten people very politely: "Please come with me." Then he turned and left, followed by ten men.
Follow the maid to the warehouse. There are wooden shelves and tables in the warehouse, and the prizes are neatly placed on them. Looking at all kinds of red-level weapons, normal-level armor and basic martial arts, everyone was excited and began to choose. Follow the principle of first-come, first-served, whoever chooses first is whoever, if because of hesitation, what you like is chosen by others, then you can only give up.
Mo Hang has a dome, and he can conjure any red-level weapon for him, and it is still a good product, so red-level weapons are not within the selection range of Mo Hang. He made his rounds to pick up armor and martial arts. There are a lot of items, Mo Hang picked and chosen, but did not find a very satisfactory one, and those who could only choose one prize left early, all with smiles on their faces.
After Mo Hang's careful selection, he finally chose a piece of soft armor and a basic martial art, called Violent Foot, and then slowly returned to the hall.
In the hall, everyone has chosen the prize and held it in their hands. Guo Huaicai saw that there were only two prizes in Mo Hang's hand, so he asked, "Why, there is nothing you like?" Mo Hang replied, "No, the prizes are very good, but I want these two things enough." Guo Huaicai didn't ask again, and instructed the maid to take twenty gold coins for Mo Hang and hand them over to Mo Hang. Mo Hang thought he was poor, and he was happy to accept the reward of twenty gold coins.
After receiving the reward, everyone thanked Guo Huaicai and left, Guo Huaicai stopped Mo Hangdao: "Zhenbi champion, will you enter Yanyang Academy?" I know the vice president there, and I will ask him to take care of you more when the time comes." Mo Hang replied gratefully, "Thank you, Mayor, I have no plans to leave Tai'an Town to enter the academy yet." Guo Huaicai said: "Okay, if you need anything in the future, you can come to the Chamber of Commerce to find me." Mo Hangdao: "Yes." After saying that, Mo Hang clenched his fists and left.
Walking out of the Wealth Gathering Chamber of Commerce, Mo Hang saw Hong Feng standing not far away staring at him, Mo Hang approached Hong Feng, Hong Feng sneered and said: "Don't think that you are the first generation of teenagers in Tai'an Town, you won the town competition championship this time just because the real first was not in Tai'an Town recently, and when he comes back, he will definitely come to you." Boy, cherish the scenery now. ”
"Who is he?"
"Ning Tianya"
Mo Hang didn't speak again, walked past Hong Feng, and left.
