Chapter 85 East Asian Monster Room

Hearing this, Wang Hua looked at him strangely.

"The second stage of the Ascension Tournament has begun. The entire East Asia has only one gathering point, the Magic City. They must gather here!"

"What? The second stage of the competition has begun?"

"Don't you know? Some time ago, there was an energy field broadcast that covered the entire world every day. You have the Dragon Emblem, so you must be able to receive it."

"........."

Seeing the boy’s embarrassed expression, Wang Hua rubbed his chin.

"That shouldn't be the case. Even if you went back to reality to rest, the organizing committee would have sent a text message to your phone. Didn't you receive it?"

"Uh... didn't pay much attention."

Zhu Haomiao pulled the corner of his mouth, revealed a polite yet awkward smile, and decisively changed the subject.

"Brother Wang, is the second stage of the competition difficult?"

"Just like in previous years, a points competition for ratings and gambling, and a revival match for those who are eliminated. Anyway, it's all very fancy..."

Hearing Wang Hua's words, Zhu Haomiao was slightly stunned. The Ascension Competition that was originally sacred and passionate in his heart was inexplicably tainted with a hint of the smell of money.

It sounds a bit like those talent shows in my previous life...

Wait, ratings and gambling?
Can the games in the fantasy realm be broadcast into reality?

However, on the other side, Wang Hua did not notice Zhu Haomiao's subtle emotions and continued to talk.

"The following match is going on now. If you have nothing to do later, you can go and watch it. Even if you don't go on stage, you can still gain a lot of experience by watching some masters compete."

"We are recognized as the East Asian Monster Club. Our competition level is the best in the world. Many masters from other continents come all the way to Shanghai to compete."

Speaking of this, Wang Hua remembered something and couldn't help laughing.

"Of course, there are some who like to bully the weak ones and go to the Novice Village to fish. I heard that the competition in Malacca was made miserable by a few new players."

Hearing this, Zhu Haomiao frowned strangely and remembered the server of a certain game in his previous life.

Experts like to go to the Korean server to practice their skills, and some guys with bad tastes like to go to the Japanese server to bully noobs. There are seven or eight of them in a game, and they all speak in Chinese, which makes it difficult for the noobs to have any gaming experience.

While chatting, the two came to an open rest area, and Wang Hua asked Zhu Haomiao to sit down.

"Just wait here. They've been working on it all morning. I think they'll be done soon."

Before he finished speaking, the door of the conference room not far away slowly opened, and solemn figures came out one after another, each wearing a noble and gorgeous purple-gold badge on his chest.

Seeing so many hegemonic beings for the first time, Zhu Haomiao subconsciously stood up with Wang Hua and watched them leave.

At the same time, Feng Zhaobai, who was walking at the end of the team, stepped out of the meeting room and looked up to see the two of them.

A look of surprise and amazement flashed across his face, and Feng Zhaobai calmly shook hands and said goodbye to the people around him, then walked straight towards the two of them.

"Junior Brother Zhu."

Sensing the suppressed impatience in Feng Zhaobai's actions, everyone turned their eyes to the young man with different expressions.

"What a handsome face."

"Supernatural charm..."

"Probably has a special bloodline."

"It is most likely a top-level [Divine Destiny]."

"Daluo Jinxian?"

Inaudible voices were heard among the crowd, and seeing Feng Zhaobai "disrespectfully" throw them aside and welcome the young man into the meeting room next door with unprecedented enthusiasm, everyone's eyes became more subtle and complicated.

This means that in Feng Zhaobai's eyes, the importance of himself and other hegemonic-level people is not as good as that of a silver rookie, and he can't even take the time to see them out politely.

This is a rather unusual signal in the Chinese diplomatic system, which places great emphasis on etiquette.

"I heard that they let an Abyss in..." "Could that be the son of the dragon..."

When these words were spoken, everyone's eyelids jumped.

Son of the Dragon...this name sounds exciting!

"Uh... everyone, this way please."

At this moment, the staff who were originally there to make bystanders finally realized that something had gone wrong, and hurriedly took over Feng Zhaobai's job and politely saw everyone out.

After taking a deep look at the tightly closed door of the conference room, everyone slowly left under the guidance of the staff, but their expressions were varied as they left.

Some people are amused, some are wary, some are indignant, some are secretly delighted, and some are jealous...

On the other side, in a very warmly decorated meeting room, three people sat down and exchanged greetings. Zhu Haomiao spoke first.

"Brother Feng, I have been promoted to Silver now. Can I take on some Gold missions?"

Hearing the boy's request, Feng Zhaobai subconsciously looked at Wang Hua beside him.

"Didn't you tell him?"

Wang Hua shrugged helplessly: "It's not too late yet."

"Oh."

Feng Zhaobai nodded and looked sideways at Zhu Haomiao.

"Junior Brother Zhu, if you are here for contribution points, then I suggest you directly participate in the points battle of the second stage of the Ascension Tournament."

Hearing this, Zhu Haomiao's mind moved: "Playing in the game also has contribution points?"

"........."

Feng Zhaobai and Wang Hua looked at each other, grinning in confusion.

"You are participating in the Ascension Tournament to represent the country and win glory for the country. You don't think the country is so stingy as to cancel your 'loan interest', do you?"

"Open up a little bit~"

Feng Zhaobai made a gesture and spoke eloquently.

"Why does the Ascension Tournament attract so many young talents from all over the world?"

"In addition to being able to broaden your horizons, stimulate yourself to break through bottlenecks, and make rapid progress... the most important reason is that you can gain both fame and fortune after participating in the competition. For some grassroots children from poor backgrounds, this may be their only chance to advance to a higher class in their lifetime..."

"You were born in China, so you can't feel the suffocating class oppression in foreign countries, nor can you understand their hunger for upward mobility..."

Speaking of this, Feng Zhaobai shook his head with emotion.

"Forget it, I've strayed off topic. Let's get back to the Ascension Tournament. After the second stage of the points competition begins, every time you defeat an opponent, it is equivalent to completing a task corresponding to the opponent's energy level, and you will receive the maximum contribution reward."

"For example, if you defeat a silver-level opponent, you can get the maximum 100 contribution points."

"If you defeat a gold-level opponent, you will get 500 points!"

As Zhu Haomiao listened to Feng Zhaobai's story, his eyes became brighter and brighter.

"What if I defeat a Purple Gold Hegemony-level opponent?"

"what?"

After being stunned for a second, Feng Zhaobai quickly came to his senses and smiled meaningfully.

“Starting from 1000, there is no upper limit.”

"However, no player has advanced to the Hegemony level at this stage."

"Of course, we can't rule out a large-scale collective promotion in a few years, forming a so-called [War of the Gods] situation. But looking back at the previous [U18 Ascension Tournament], there are only a few years with such a surge in talent. Generally, at the end of the day, only one or two lucky people can be promoted to the Hegemony level."
