Chapter 176: Quarrel
The striking red bulletin reads:
After the deliberation of the three major sects in the demon world, the organizer of the Ten Thousand Demon Conference, the Ten Thousand Demon Conference decided to adjust the original date of holding the top 13 competition to the twenty-sixth of this month (from today, ten days later). Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 In addition, the top 13 matches, the top 7 matches, the semi-finals and the finals will all be held on the 26th of this month!
"What did the Ten Thousand Demon Assembly do with this decision?
"Who knows? There had never been such a situation in the previous Ten Thousand Demon Conferences. I've been through three Ten Thousand Demon Conferences, and this is the first time I've encountered this kind of thing. ”
"I heard my cousin, who was a slave in the lord's house, say that the lord of the city has been irritable these days, as if he was worried about a big thing. ”
"Tell me, what's the big deal?"
"Well, I don't know, my cousin doesn't dare to inquire so clearly. However, I heard him say that recently the boss of the finance department ran to the city lord's mansion, and every time he went, he looked haggard. ”
The red boy listened to the discussion of the previous demons, and a guess suddenly appeared in his mind.
It is very likely that there is something wrong with the finances of Ten Thousand Demon City, after all, they took one-seventh of their financial income last year at one time!
Moreover, this is a city, not a single individual.
If it is a single individual, such as a person or a demon, who has the problem of not having enough money to spend, then he only needs to save money and tighten his belt to get through it.
However, a city is different, it has a certain size of population and its own urban economic system, and once the fiscal revenue is greatly reduced, it means that a disaster is about to befall.
Ten Thousand Demon City coincides with the Ten Thousand Demon Conference, which is a good opportunity to make money, but relatively speaking, the expenses will also increase. Adjusting the tournaments of the Ten Thousand Demon Conference and ending some of the games as soon as possible can slightly ease the financial pressure on the Ten Thousand Demon City.
Just as the red boy was thinking about this question, a middle-aged woman's complaint confirmed his guess even more.
"Hmph, I just paid taxes half a month ago, why do you have to pay taxes now?
The middle-aged woman stood in front of the green bulletin, pointing to the words on it, indignant.
The red boy glanced at it, and the green bulletin read:
In order to ensure the safety of the people of the Ten Thousand Demon City and improve the public security environment, the Finance Department of the Ten Thousand Demon City decided to levy a security tax on the people of the Ten Thousand Demon City. This decision has been approved by the City Lord of Ten Thousand Demon City, and all the people of Ten Thousand Demon City are requested to go to the Finance Department of Ten Thousand Demon City to pay taxes before the 30th of this month, otherwise, they will bear the consequences.
"Hehe, what kind of security tax, it sounds like a protection fee, are the city lords of Ten Thousand Demon City and the Ministry of Finance hooligans?"
The red boy sneered inwardly.
"Red boy, we're competing on the same day!"
Qiao Xiaohan's face was full of excitement, pulled the red boy's sleeve, and said. This time, there are not many contestants in each competition area, maybe you can go to the Jindan competition area to play with the red boy when you have time!
"What if we play on the same day?"
The red boy pulled Qiao Xiaohan's hand off his sleeve and walked out of the crowd of onlookers, his tone was very flat, and he asked rhetorically.
When Qiao Xiaohan saw the red boy's attitude, his original excitement suddenly dropped to the freezing point, and he had nothing to say to him, so he turned his head and walked towards the Ten Thousand Demon Conference competition area.
Hmph, really! Look at his attitude!
Anyway, I'm a girl, how can he do this to me?
Is he like this to all the girls?
Or, is he only so indifferent to me?
In fact, in every girl's heart, there is a prince charming, hoping to have a fairytale love. And in this love, there are only two protagonists, the heroine is herself, and the male protagonist is her own Prince Charming, that's all. But a lot of times, it backfires.
"Hey, let's go, slowly. ”
The red boy walked and found that Qiao Xiaohan was gone, so he stopped and waited for a while, only to see Qiao Xiaohan's figure, and couldn't help urging.
Hearing this, Qiao Xiaohan came back to his senses and quickened his pace.
The two of them came to the venue of the Ten Thousand Demons Conference, and there were only dozens of demons queuing up here.
The red boy didn't say a word, and went straight to the queue.
"Get out of the way, I'm going to stand in front of you. ”
In order to say a few more words to the red boy, Qiao Xiaohan did not hesitate to start the "fault finding mode". She stood in front of the red boy and said arrogantly.
"Qiao Xiaohan, what kind of line are you inserting? ”
The red boy doesn't plan to get used to Qiao Xiaohan like this, besides, there are demons lining up behind him, even if they are willing, they may not be willing!
"No, I'm going to stand in front of you. ”
Qiao Xiaohan shook his head, and said with the temper of the eldest lady, that mouth was pouting, and it was almost heaven.
"I'm really convinced of you," the red boy rolled her eyes at Qiao Xiaohan, "Miss Qiao Xiaohan, you stand here, I'll go to the back to line up, okay?"
As he spoke, he pulled Qiao Xiaohan along, and then walked out of the team by himself and walked to the back handsomely.
Seeing this scene, the demons queuing up behind them looked at the red boy with a very meaningful look, which seemed to say: You are really good to your girlfriend.
"I'm. ”
Qiao Xiaohan was very angry, holding his arms with his hands and a gloomy face.
Unconsciously, it was Qiao Xiaohan's turn.
"Hey, hey, how many times have I asked you? Why don't you say a word?"
A girl who looked to be only thirteen or fourteen years old shouted. She is the waitress of this Ten Thousand Demons Conference, responsible for handing out information cards to contestants and registering them.
Just a minute ago, she asked Qiao Xiaohan's name, and Qiao Xiaohan was in a daze and didn't speak. Then she asked a few more times, but Qiao Xiaohan still didn't respond, so the young woman lost her patience and couldn't help shouting loudly.
Qiao Xiaohan was in a bad mood herself, and now that she was so rudely pulled out of her contemplation by this waiter, her mood must have been so bad that she was home.
"What are you yelling about? Can't you talk well? Long mouth, that's not how it works!"
Qiao Xiaohan yelled fiercely, this is definitely the rhythm of quarreling.
"What do you mean? It's clear that you're delaying everyone's time, but you're still reasonable?!"
"Why do you want me to delay everyone's time? You have a poor service attitude, and you still blame me?"
"Hehe, I have a poor service attitude?!Children, are you taking it for granted?"
"Is there a waiter like you? still arguing with me, be careful that I complain about you!"
Qiao Xiaohan and the waiter quarreled more and more fiercely, and seeing that they were about to fight, at this moment, a slender figure suddenly flashed in front of them. (To be continued.) )
