She Shocks The Whole World After Retirement Novel - Chapter 1105
1105 Brother Xiao Is Indeed Shrewd
As soon as they left, Yu Huang and the others also focused their attention on the Beast Tamer Enrollment Competition.
A few days ago, Donor and Estelle had been asking about the details of the enrollment competition in the Ice River City. When this reached Jun Qing’s ears, he started making arrangements.
On this day, the captain of the guards of the mayor’s manor personally came to the small tavern on Five Lake Street and handed a beautiful invitation letter to Yu Huang. “Good afternoon. The mayor and his wife are holding a banquet in the mayor’s manor tonight to entertain all of you. Please attend on time.”
Holding the invitation letter, Yu Huang pondered for a moment before saying, “Alright, we’ll go to the banquet on time.”
!!
The guard captain heaved a sigh of relief and said, “Our car is parked on the street. When you set off, you only need to inform us and we will rush over immediately.” With that, the guard captain left with his subordinates.
Sheng Xiao stared at the guard captain’s back figure as he said thoughtfully, “I guess Jun Qing wants to invite us to join the Central Continent’s registry.”
Nodding her head, Yu Huang also said, “Most likely.”
Glancing at Donor and Estelle, Yu Huang said, “Coincidentally, we still don’t know much about the high school enrollment competition. Why don’t we take this opportunity to ask the mayor? He will definitely be able to clear our doubts.”
“Okay.”
This time, they would be guests at the mayor’s manor.
In order to express how important this banquet was to them, the seven of them changed into new formal clothes before following the guard captain to the mayor’s manor.
As expected, Jun Qing had set up a banquet for them. There was wine and delicacies on the long table.
Jun Qing and Madam Brulee were wearing matching outfits of the same color. They sat side by side at the top of the long table while Yu Huang and the others sat on both sides.
During the meal, Jun Qing mentioned, “I heard from Qin Pei yesterday that she saw Mr. Donor and Mr. Estelle asking about the college enrollment competition in front of the Beast Tamer Alliance Hall.” Jun Qing looked at Donor and the others and asked, “Are you guys planning to participate in this year’s college beast tamer enrollment competition?”
Donor nodded and replied, “That’s right. We heard that there are a few super famous schools on the Cang Lang Continent, so we also want to give it a try. We went to the Beast Tamer Alliance Hall yesterday and heard from the staff there that if we want to study in a super famous school, we have to participate in the Central Continent Selection Competition. Only Beast Tamers who enter the top 100 of the Selection Competition are qualified to go to Cang Lang City to participate in the intercontinental finals. Beast Tamers who perform well in the intercontinental finals have a chance to be chosen by a super famous school.”
“Is this true?”
Nodding, Jun Qing said, “That’s indeed the case.”
Jun Qing’s gaze swept across the faces of Yu Huang and the others, whose expressions didn’t change. Seeing that they were all calm, he couldn’t help but feel bored.
He was waiting for Yu Huang and the others to take the initiative to ask questions. This way, he could follow the plan and persuade them to join the Central Continent.
“Hehe.” Jun Qing laughed awkwardly and said, “The intercontinental screening test determines whether you can enter a super famous school to cultivate. However, there are only five thousand spots in the intercontinental screening test, and every spot is very precious. That’s why the screening test exists. Twenty days before the intercontinental screening test officially starts, there will be a huge screening test between the various continents. Elite Beast Tamers will be selected to go to Cang Lang City to participate in the final intercontinental finals.”
Yin Rong couldn’t help but ask, “According to your words, there are a total of five thousand spots in the intercontinental finals, and but why is there only a hundred spots for Central Continent, which is one of the eight continents?”
When Jun Qing heard Yin Rong’s question, he looked awkward and embarrassed.
Yu Huang secretly extended her right foot and kicked Yin Rong under the table.
At this moment, Yin Rong also understood and guessed the reason.
She felt a little guilty.
On the other hand, Madam Brulee’s reaction was very calm. She even teased, “What else could it be? It’s because Central Continent is disappointing. Although Central Continent is huge and has many scientific and technological talents, it has few cultivation talents. Among the eight continents of the Cang Lang Continent, Central Continent’s cultivation level is ranked at the bottom and is far behind that of the other continents.”
“You guys have heard of the War God Clan, right?”
Everyone nodded. “I’ve heard a little.”
Nodding her head, Madam Brulee told them, “All the Beast Tamers in the Central Continent combined are not comparable to the War God Clan. In the intercontinental finals, the Central Continent only has a total of 100 participants, while the War God Clan has 500 slots.”
At this point, the charming smile on Madam Brulee’s face disappeared.
She lowered her eyes and lamented, “It’s quite embarrassing.”
After hearing Madam Brulee’s words, everyone fell silent.
They had long known that the overall strength of the Beast Tamers in the Central Continent was too weak, but they didn’t expect them to be this weak. Such a huge continent was actually worse than a mere sect.
Wasn’t it embarrassing?
Yin Rong felt guilty. Seeing that Madam Brulee was sad, she hurriedly comforted her. “Madam, you don’t have to be ashamed. This wasn’t caused by you guys.”
Madam Brulee shook her head and said, “The Beast Tamers of the Central Continent are the weakest. This indeed wasn’t caused by me and my husband. However, as the mayor of the Ice River City and the leader of the Central Continent’s government, my husband and I were unable to lead the Central Continent to become stronger. This is our dereliction of responsibility.”
“That’s right.” Jun Qing sighed. “Working hard to lead the Central Continent to obtain the recognition of the Cang Lang Continent is not only my ultimate goal, but also the goal of past leaders. We have always been striving to achieve this goal, but we have never succeeded.”
This was a sad thing.
After finding out about the sorrow in the mayor and his wife’s hearts, Yin Rong and the others also sympathized with them.
At that moment, Sheng Xiao suddenly pointed out, “If we want to participate in the Central Continent Selection Competition and enter the top 100, does that mean that the seven of us have to join the Central Continent first?”
When Sheng Xiao asked this, he was staring at Jun Qing. His clear eyes looked piercing and cold.
Jun Qing didn’t dare to look into Sheng Xiao’s eyes.
He knew that Sheng Xiao had seen through his tricks.
Jun Qing felt a little embarrassed.
He lowered his head slightly and replied with difficulty, “…Yes.”
“Heh.” Sheng Xiao let out a short but mocking laugh. “Did you guys say those words on purpose to arouse our sympathy so that you can persuade us to join the Central Continent?”
When Yin Rong and the others heard Sheng Xiao’s words, they realized that Jun Qing and Madam Brulee had said those words on purpose.
As Yu Huang stirred the coffee in her cup, she smiled.
Brother Xiao was indeed shrewd.
