Chapter 671: Heart-to-heart
I have to say that the speech of Huang Xin, the current head of the Huang family, is still very inflammatory, and many of the guests present have the idea of being able to lean against the big tree of the Huang family to enjoy the shade, so many people responded with warm applause for Huang Xin's speech. Of course, Lu Yi saw that there were still some people who were not moved, and these people were either newcomers like himself, and they did not have a deep understanding of the Huang family for the four major families, or they were scheming people who would not be fooled by a few empty words.
Everyone raised their glasses, tilted their necks together, and drank a glass of wine full of aura in front of their eyes. Huang Xin was also very satisfied with everyone's performance, and after everyone drank the first glass of wine, he got up again: "You must not know why our Huang family will hold this so-called hero conference this time. In the past, the participants of our Huang family in the previous centennial ring competitions were mainly children of the Huang family, supplemented by various side lines, and the results over the years were also stable. However, since the last session, because of the changes in the situation on the mainland, Extinguishing Cloud City has been hit by an unprecedented impact from external forces, and our Huang family has only won a share of two percent in the ring competition, which is already the worst in history, and as the head of the family, I feel even more shameless and ashamed of the ancestors of the past generations. Although the development of the Huang family has been very stable over the years, but there is a lack of innovation and the input of fresh blood, the entire Huang family has formed a relatively closed small environment, and even, our Huang family is ashamed to go out and see the outside world. The children of our Huang family, because they have no worries, have lost the motivation to struggle, and because there is nothing to fight for, they have also lost their sense of crisis. In the last 100-year competition, those new foreign forces taught our children a good lesson, their bravery, fierceness, ruthlessness, and life are seriously lacking in our children, on the other hand, our children are timid, rigid routines, and inflexible, which makes me feel creepy, this is the territory of our four major families in Extinguishing Cloud City, they will be protected by the family, if our people once they go out, in the face of the cruel world outside, how many of them can adapt? How many will be able to survive independently? Now that war is about to break out on the mainland, everyone is thinking of danger in times of peace, and if our Huang family continues to be so comfortable, sooner or later we will face the fate of being exterminated. Therefore, before the start of the next Centennial Ring Competition, I thought of this Hero Conference, I just want to open the door of our Huang family to the outside world, invite the heroes outside in, and let the children of our Huang family compete with them. This time, I revised the reward mechanism of the Centennial Ring Competition, originally, as long as you qualify for the competition, you will be rewarded with one seventh-order lower-grade magic weapon and one thousand high-grade spirit stones, but now it is changed to two seventh-order lower-grade magic weapons. 3,000 high-grade spirit stones; Originally, for every opponent defeated in the ring competition, a seventh-order middle-grade magic weapon was rewarded, but now it has been changed to a seventh-order middle-grade magic weapon plus 5,000 spirit stones; originally, in the ring competition, the Huang family will be rewarded with 1/10,000 of the share income obtained in a hundred years, but now it has also been changed to 1/1,000. The number of participants is not fixed until the start of the competition, and after the initial list is determined today, if anyone who thinks they have the ability to replace the person on the list before the start of the competition can challenge him, the winner will be the new participant. All this is to inspire everyone to compete and struggle. In addition, those who can introduce strong customers to the family and obtain the final share will also receive additional rewards, which is also to encourage the family members to go out, contact more with the outside world, and make friends, so as to further strengthen the family. This second glass of wine, let us raise a glass together, and wish our Huang family more and more strength. Huang Xin said, raised his head and drank all the wine in the cup.
Everyone raised their glasses and drank again, some people were already moved by the adjustment of the rewards announced by Huang Xin, Lu Yi had read the information of Extinguishing Cloud City before, and knew that this time the Huang family had really made a bloody investment, and the share of the reward was extremely considerable, and the share of the entire Extinguishing Cloud City Central Business District was already able to support the Huang family to live a worry-free life, it is conceivable that the share of twenty percent should be two people who entered the top ten, of which one thousandth of the one percent was given to one person, so how rich this person must beWhen Huang Xin announced the adjustment of the reward, there was already a continuous sound of inhalation, and now, many people present were even brighter under the stimulation of alcohol, revealing greedy expressions. Here, there are not only people from the Huang family, but also a lot of outsiders like Lu Yi who have been invited, among which there are also many old people who have been in Extinguishing Cloud City for hundreds of years, and they naturally know the huge benefits involved. Seeing that everyone's emotions were mobilized, Huang Xin was also very happy, he knew that the words he said tonight would spread throughout the entire Extinguishing Cloud City tomorrow, and when the time came, there would definitely be more people moving closer to their Huang family, this time, he was ambitious to let it go.
The cocktail party has entered from the beginning to *, there must be brave men under the heavy reward, many people who came today are coming with a purpose, and now there is such a huge temptation of interests, it is simply adding fuel to the fire, and the guests on the scene directly fried the pot. The banquet did not last long, because of this explosive news, many people have lost their minds, especially after Huang Xin raised his glass for the third time to announce to everyone that the selection and elimination of the first batch of contestants will be held three days later, it made people who have a heart unable to sit still, some are in a hurry to go back to spread the news, and even more are busy going back to prepare for the competition, and after an hour and a half, the banquet is over. Many guests hurriedly said goodbye and left, and went to work on their own affairs, but Lu Yi was never in a hurry, not that the stimulation of interests did not work for him, but that there was no such part of his plan, so when most of the guests left, Lu Yi got up and found Huang Liang, said goodbye to him, and thanked him for his hospitality by the way.
"Brother Long, how is it? The news announced by my brother this time has made your heart move, you have just come to Extinguishing Cloud City, and you don't know what that thousandth share means, in this way, I will come to the door in person tomorrow, and then we will talk in detail?" Huang Liang looked at Lu Yi with a smile.
Lu Yi thought about it, did not directly refuse Huang Liang's proposal, but promised to meet him tomorrow, and then said goodbye to Huang Liang and returned home alone. Lu Yipan sat on the bed and began to think, this Huang family's recruitment of Lu Yi did not care, but it was a good opportunity to make a name for himself in the Centennial Ring Tournament or even in the selection competition before the ring competition, especially in the selection competition before the ring competition, for Lu Yi, a newcomer who had just come to Extinguishing Cloud City, it was definitely the fastest way to increase his popularity.
Early the next morning, Huang Liang came to Lu Yi's residence, Lu Yi closed and hid most of the forbidden methods, and put away the trap beast in advance before letting him into the house.
After the two sat down, Huang Liang took the lead in speaking: "How is it, Brother Long, is the food you ate yesterday still to taste?" Huang Liang did not cut directly to the point.
"Thanks to Brother Huang, yesterday really made Long have a great time. And not only is the food good, but the spirit wine is also an extremely rare thing, the Huang family is really as rich as rumored! Long Mou has just settled in Extinguishing Cloud City, and he is fortunate to be able to meet a righteous person like Brother Huang, which is really a blessing for three lives!" Lu Yi naturally did not say anything.
The two chatted for a while, but Huang Liang finally couldn't hold his breath.
"Brother Long is really a wonderful person, don't look at the appearance of rough and bold, but the mind is as fine as a needle, if you can get this friend, you treat you sincerely, then it is the luck of Sansheng. Okay, brother, I won't go around the bend, I saw Brother Long from the beginning, I felt that Brother Long was definitely not a thing in the pool, I intended to get to know Brother Long, on the one hand, for the revitalization of the family, I want to win over Brother Long to serve the Huang family, on the other hand, I am also a little selfish, if Brother Long doesn't mind, can you listen to me carefully?"
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, Long has just arrived, and there is nothing important to do, Brother Huang has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it. As soon as Lu Yi heard Huang Liang's words, he knew that there must be a hidden secret behind him, and it seems that it is not for nothing that Huang Liang frequently shows favor to himself.
Huang Liang was silent for a moment when he heard this, as if he was thinking about whether he should say the following words, and after a slight pause, he seemed to have made up his mind and spoke: "The matter has to start with our Huang family, since I have chosen to win over Brother Long, I am not afraid of exposing my family ugliness." Because the continent has been in a state of peace for tens of thousands of years, and Cloud Extinguishing City is located on the relatively far edge of the Eastern Regions, it has been under the control of our four major families since the city was founded. Although the four major families are not harmonious on weekdays, they have always been very united in the general direction of the common external world, even if it is the Chao Alliance, we have not paid attention to it, for many years, the alliance has tried to get involved in the Extinguishing Cloud City several times without success, and also because our relationship with the alliance is not good, so the people of our four major families rarely go out. As one of the four major families in Extinguishing Cloud City, our Huang family has accumulated a lot of savings over the years, which has also made our children live a comfortable life of self-sufficiency but abundant food and clothing. Once people are in this comfortable environment for a long time, they often do not want to make progress, but not thinking about making progress does not mean that some people are not greedy, and there are many people who covet the position of the head of the family. My brother Huang Xin, in less than a hundred years, will abdicate to attack the spirit with peace of mind, the next centennial ring match, externally it is a struggle of the Huang family's shame, but internally, it is a dark battle that started in advance for the competition for the next head of the family. And I am a speck of dust in the whirlpool of this battle for the head of the family. ”
