Chapter 150 The Grand Feast in Chuandu
Zhang Zongqiang: "Silk language, the provincial key high school of Dongchuan Province is not as high as that of Yunchuan Province."
The top martial arts champion from Dongchuan High School has at most 300 units of Qi and Blood, which is incomparable to the martial arts-rich Yunchuan.
Qin Siyu: "Oh, then we can still exchange martial arts techniques."
After replying once, Qin Siyu did not reply again.
Chen Lie didn't bother to reply. He wouldn't waste time exchanging martial arts knowledge with anyone. Exchanging knowledge with someone of this level would be completely useless to him.
After leaving the group chat, Chen Lie simply tossed the communicator aside.
After practicing the "Lingguang Divine Refinement Chapter" for a while, Chen Lie fell asleep immediately.
The next day, after washing up, Chen Lie took out a piece of nutritious bread from the refrigerator and ate it.
Just then, there was a knock on his door.
Just as Chen Lie was about to get up, Chen Xingyao said, "I'll go take a look!"
Chen Xingyao arrived at the door, opened it, and saw Wang Hui standing outside.
"Um—I'm looking for Chen Lie."
Wang Hui actually knew Chen Xingyao; he used to frequently visit Chen Lie's home to see Chen Lie.
However, every time he met Chen Xingyao, he would be criticized and berated by him, who believed that he was the one who had hindered Chen Lie's martial arts career.
Wang Hui was a man of pride, and faced with Chen Xingyao's harsh words, he gradually stopped coming to Chen Lie's house as often.
"Come in, my brother is eating."
Chen Xingyao nodded and stepped aside to let him in.
"what?"
Wang Hui found it strange.
Why has Chen Lie's formidable younger sister become so gentle? She's not even making sarcastic remarks to him anymore?
With a question in mind, Wang Hui went into Chen Lie's house and, sure enough, saw Chen Lie eating a nutritious bread.
"Chen Lie, why are you still eating bread here?"
As soon as he entered, Wang Hui went up to Chen Lie.
"Have some breakfast, would you like some?"
Wang Hui immediately waved his hand and refused: "I won't eat it. I need to save room for the grand banquet in Sichuan."
"I advise you not to eat anymore. The Chuandu Grand Banquet is said to be the highest-standard catering establishment in Dongchuan Province. The wine there is brewed with spiritual herbs, and they even have wine made from the bones of fifth-tier exotic beasts. Wouldn't it be better to have a hearty meal then? Why bother gnawing on this dry bread?"
Chen Xingyao asked, "Brother, are you going to the Chuandu Grand Banquet? Is it the Chuandu Grand Banquet that only high-ranking officials and nobles can attend?"
"Yes, I'm going to a class reunion," Chen Lie replied.
"They're having a class reunion there."
Without even thinking, Chen Xingyao was certain that the person who organized this gathering was no ordinary person.
If it were anything else, she would like to go with her brother to see it, but she'd rather not go for the class reunion.
After Chen Lie finished his bread, Wang Hui immediately said, "That's enough, one bread is enough. We'll have a better meal at the Sichuan Grand Banquet later."
Chen Lie didn't plan to eat any more, and after hearing Wang Hui's words, he put the remaining nutritional bread back.
Once your Qi and blood levels reach several hundred or even a thousand calories, the first priority is to maintain your nutrition.
The value of Qi and blood does not only increase and never decrease. If there is insufficient nutrition, it will not only not increase, but will actually decrease.
Once you reach this stage in martial arts, it's a matter of either progressing or regressing.
"Let's go then!"
As Chen Lie spoke, he walked out of the house with Wang Hui.
As soon as Chen Lie stepped out of his house, he immediately saw a white airship.
Wang Hui arrived at the white airship and opened the cabin door directly.
"Chen Lie, let's get on the airship."
Chen Lie nodded and boarded the airship one after the other with Wang Hui.
After the airship's cabin door closed automatically, it immediately took off.
On the airship, Wang Hui activated the automatic driving function.
"Chen Lie, did you see it in the group chat yesterday? That bastard Zhang Zongqiang is threatening us."
Chen Lie said, "I saw it. Weren't you afraid?"
wide,
Wang Hui chuckled awkwardly twice: "I wasn't afraid at first, but Zhang Zongqiang's father happens to be my father's boss."
His father was a member of the provincial council and governed Changdong, while my father was the director of the Changdong Municipal Bureau of Commerce. His father happened to be in charge of my father.
"Oh, that's not a big problem. Didn't Qin Siyu say in the group that if Zhang Zongqiang causes you trouble, you can just go to her?"
"What the hell do you take me for?"
Ask Qin Siyu for help? How could I possibly swallow that pride?
"Didn't you always pride yourself on being thick-skinned? You even said that being thick-skinned is an advantage in modern society, so why are you so embarrassed now?"
"How can that be the same?"
Chen Lie said, "Alright, if Zhang Zongqiang really causes you trouble, tell me and I'll help you figure something out."
"Do you think you can handle Zhang Zongqiang? His father is a provincial councilor."
"It should be fine. Just let me know when the time comes."
"There are actually benefits to attending a talent training camp?"
Wang Hui found it unbelievable. To be fair, Chen Lie's family background was far inferior to his own, after all, his father was a deputy mayor-level official in Changdong City.
Now that Chen Lie has joined the genius training camp, there's this unexpected connection?
The airship soon arrived at the location of the Chuandu Grand Banquet, the most prosperous area in Dongchuan Province.
Wang Hui landed the airship in the plaza outside the Chuandu Building.
Chen Lie and Wang Hui disembarked from the airship and immediately saw the magnificent building in front of them.
It was a building with over a hundred floors, nearly a thousand meters tall, reaching straight into the clouds, with four large golden characters on top: "Chuan Du Grand Banquet".
"We're here, let's go in!"
Wang Hui walked ahead and arrived at the entrance of the Sichuan Grand Banquet with Chen Lie.
As soon as the two arrived at the entrance, they were immediately stopped by two security guards.
"Halt! This is the Chuandu Grand Banquet Hotel. Do you have an invitation? Entry is prohibited without an invitation."
Wang Hui said, "We have a reservation. Please check the names. My name is Wang Hui, and his name is Chen Lie."
"Please wait a moment."
After the security guard finished speaking, he immediately went to the front desk to confirm.
A short while later, the security guard returned.
"You may go in, but your identities will be those of the true guests accompanying the grand banquet in Sichuan."
Once inside, do not wander around freely. You need to contact the guests as soon as possible so they can guide you.
"Okay, we understand," Wang Hui replied.
"Please come in."
The two security guards made way for Chen Lie and Wang Hui to enter.
Upon entering the Chuandu Building, Wang Hui immediately felt extremely uncomfortable, appearing breathless and uneasy.
Noticing Wang Hui's unusual behavior, Chen Lie asked, "What's wrong?"
Wang Hui said, "This place is too high-end; I'm a little nervous."
Upon hearing this, Chen Lie stopped paying attention to Wang Hui.
The message in the group chat was for everyone to meet on the first floor of the Sichuan Grand Banquet Hall.
Although the exact time hasn't arrived yet, it won't be long. By this time, some people must have already arrived.
After walking around half the first floor of the spacious hotel, Chen Lie finally spotted a dozen or so students aged seventeen or eighteen in a corner.
"Finally found the main group."
When Wang Hui saw the group of students, he immediately went over, found someone he knew among them, and greeted them.
"Wang Hui?"
A boy walked up to Wang Hui.
"It's me, it's me. I haven't changed much in the past three years."
"Is that Chen Lie next to you?" The boy looked at Chen Lie next to Wang Hui.
Wang Hui said, "It's Chen Lie. What? You don't recognize him after all these years?"
"Chen Lie has changed quite a bit."
The boy said, "Chen Lie, I'm Guo Yundong, do you remember me?"
Chen Lie didn't remember much, but he still nodded.
"I was just saying, we used to have such a good relationship, how could you forget me?"
I heard from Wang Hui that your school won first place in the provincial key high school's martial arts competition?
That's really impressive! To be number one in the school's martial arts competition, your Qi and Blood points must be over 200. Unlike me, I'm struggling to even get into the elite class; I'm still stuck in the regular class.
Guo Yundong sighed as he spoke.
"You haven't joined the elite class yet? What's your Qi and Blood value?" Wang Hui asked.
Guo Yundong said, "I'm not afraid to tell you, but my Qi and Blood value is less than 1, only 0.97 calories."
Wang Hui said, "Only 0.97 calories? Wow, that's so low? You must have been addicted to virtual reality arcades these past few years and haven't been practicing martial arts properly."
Guo Yundong gave a wry smile. "Is he addicted to the virtual experience center?"
That's not the case. He has worked hard over the past few years, but his aptitude is too weak. He has been practicing a C-level martial art for two years and still can't get the basics right. Otherwise, his health and vitality would at least be over 1 by now.
"I don't play in the virtual experience center because I'm not good enough. My parents are going crazy over my grades."
Now it seems unlikely that I'll even be able to get into a mediocre martial arts university in the province.
Wang Hui couldn't help but scoff, saying, "Actually, martial arts isn't the only way out. Look, there are plenty of people on Blue Star who don't pursue martial arts."
At this moment, a slightly raised voice rang out: "Wang Hui, Chen Lie, how dare you two show your faces?"
A male student walked over there.
Upon seeing the boy, Wang Hui's anger flared instantly: "Damn it, Xie Bing, what the hell do you mean by this?!"
The male student named Xie Bing asked, "What do I mean?"
Today, all of you students are able to come to this legendary Sichuan banquet and broaden your horizons, all thanks to Brother Qiang. You two, instead of being grateful, fine, but...
He even spoke rudely to Brother Qiang in the group chat.
If I were you, would I have the nerve to come here and eat and drink for free?
"Xie Bing, you really are Zhang Zongqiang's good dog. Even Zhang Zongqiang himself hasn't said anything, but you're already barking like a dog."
"Damn it, Wang Hui, say that again!"
Xie Bing flew into a rage and rushed up to Wang Hui, intending to slap him.
At this moment, Chen Lie stepped out and, before Xie Bing could react, grabbed Xie Bing by the neck and lifted him into the air.
Xie Bing's face turned pale the moment his feet left the ground.
"If you don't want to die, you'd better behave yourself."
As Chen Lie spoke, he threw Xie Bing heavily to the ground.
With a thud, Xie Bing, who had fallen to the ground, quickly got up, his eyes filled with fear and resentment as he looked at Chen Lie.
Wang Hui mocked, "Are you an idiot? Xie Bing, let me tell you the truth, Chen Lie is a trainee in the genius training camp now, and his health points are less than a fraction of yours."
You still want to act like a bully, relying on your connections to cause trouble by currying favor with Zhang Zongqiang? I think you should save your breath.
"Come on, if you're not afraid of getting beaten up!"
Xie Bing's face turned ashen upon hearing Wang Hui's words, but considering Chen Lie's strength, he did not refute them.
This prompted a discussion among the dozen or so students around.
"What did Wang Hui just say? Chen Lie joined the genius training camp?"
"It seems that someone among us actually managed to get into the genius training camp?"
"Didn't the group say that Chen Lie is the number one in the school's martial arts competition? He's the number one in the provincial key high school's martial arts competition, so he's definitely going to join the genius training camp."
After a brief discussion, many of the dozen or so students began to approach Chen Lie, and Chen Lie dealt with them one by one.
Several girls wanted to add Chen Lie's Green Bubble as a friend, and Chen Lie did not refuse.
Upon seeing this, Wang Hui couldn't help but say, "Wow, Chen Lie, once your martial arts achievements improve, you're attracting a constant stream of ladies' favor. Look at that!"
If you just stand here, several girls will come up to you and ask for your green bubble.
"Try it in a little while, see if you can get to know Qin Siyu better."
Chen Lie simply shook his head: "Don't say that, lest others overhear and spread it around, and people who don't know better might think I have feelings for Qin Siyu."
"No, is it strange that you have feelings for Qin Siyu? Of all the boys here, which one doesn't have feelings for Qin Siyu?"
"Chen Lie, what are you pretending for in front of me? We're all men, everyone knows who's who."
Chen Lie stopped talking to Wang Hui.
Because Wang Hui's thoughts were exactly the same as his own at this age in his previous life.
But now he has over a hundred years of life experience, has witnessed the vastness of Yu Ding, and has a broad perspective.
If a small city like Changdong has a Qin Siyu, then how many cities are there in Dongchuan Province? How many provinces are there on Blue Star? And how many life-bearing planets like Blue Star are there in the Canglan Star Region?
Qin Siyu is certainly extremely precious in Changdong City, but in a star field, she might be as insignificant as a speck of dust.
And Chen Lie's future extends far beyond just the Canglan Star Region.
It happened to be 11:00 a.m.
There were already 23 people in this corner on the first floor of Chuandu Grand Banquet Hall.
"Oh, it seems all the students have arrived."
At that moment, a boy with blond hair walked over.
Xie Bing saw the blond-haired boy and quickly went up to him.
"Brother Qiang, you're finally here! I've been waiting for over two hours."
The blond boy laughed and said, "I told you to meet at 11 o'clock, but I didn't tell you to come this early."
"We came this early because we wanted to. Brother Qiang used his connections to let us see the world. Who would want to be late?"
The blond-haired boy said, "The reason I arrived so late is to greet Goddess Qin."
Everyone, please welcome Qin Siyu, Qin.
As he spoke, the blond-haired boy drew everyone's attention to the transparent screen beside him.
A girl with her hair half-tied into a bun walked out from behind the transparent screen.
The girl had an elegant and refined appearance. She gave everyone a sweet smile and waved gently, saying, "Hello, classmates."
"Wow, it really is Goddess Qin!"
"Girls really do change a lot as they grow up, and they become more and more beautiful. After three years, Goddess Qin's looks are even better than before, surpassing even the most beautiful girl in our school."
"Hello Goddess Qin, I'm Jiang Qizhen, do you remember me?"
Among the more than 20,000 people, more than 10,000 male students went out to greet them enthusiastically.
Qin Siyu said, "Classmates, this is a public place in the hall, let's not be too messy, okay?"
"If you have anything to say, you can go to the private room to talk."
The blond-haired boy said, "I've booked a large private room on the 7th floor. Everyone, please follow me."
As he spoke, the blond-haired boy walked ahead and took the elevator.
A group of students followed the blond-haired boy onto the elevator.
Chen Lie calmly followed the crowd onto the elevator.
Soon after, the group of 25,000 people arrived at the private room on the seventh floor of the Sichuan Grand Banquet Hall.
Inside the private room, there was a large round table that could accommodate 20,000 to 30,000 people.
The students sat down around the round table.
The blond boy sat in the main seat on the east side of the round table, looked around at the more than 20,000 students, and said, "There are about 40 people in our class, and more than half of them are here today."
Have Chen Lie and Wang Hui arrived yet?
