Chapter 210 The Test Everywhere When Chu Yi walked out of the competition building, there was already a group of people gathered outside, saying that they wanted to invite him to a quiet place to chat in Romero rejected them all. "There will be more and more situations like this in the future. If you can push them away, do so. It's best not to get involved with them." Romero pulled Chu Yi out of the crowd, reminding him as he walked. "I know that these people are trying to curry favor with me now, they must have ulterior motives. My loyalty can only belong to the Emperor. I must reject all of them in the future!" Chu Yi drew inferences from one example and made Romero stunned: "You are good, your awareness is so high, you are born to be an official!" Chu Yi chuckled and said, "In fact, it's just that I've watched too many novels and videos. The empire is so large that there are bound to be many factions. Now the Emperor Championship Competition is underway, and the future rulers of the empire are to be chosen. Every contestant who looks like he can become the final Son of God is worthy of these forces' flattery. After all, people are not machines, and they will definitely have the idea of repaying the old favor. If you curry favor with the contestant today, it will be much easier for the contestant to do something when he becomes a high-ranking official in the future. After all, business always needs to be done, no matter who you do it for. " Romero gave a thumbs up when he heard this. "Good. It seems that you have understood some of the principles of being an official. You are not as ignorant as you say when it comes to handling government affairs. Isn't this quite insightful?" Chu Yi answered sincerely: "I just copied others and summarized the rules from experience, but if I encounter a situation I have never seen before, I don't know what to do. The inability to draw inferences from other cases is my biggest pain point." "Who can solve a completely new problem? It's great that you have such a foundation!" Romero said with a gratified look, "But you still need to work hard, and you also need a backer." "Backer?" Chu Yi was surprised. "Shouldn't my backer be the emperor? Are you planning to take him directly to see the emperor?"
“When you become the Holy Son, your backer will be the Emperor. Now, you are just a talented contestant. The Emperor Trial will be very expensive in the future, so every contestant needs to find a sponsor at that time. If it cannot be found, the empire will provide it, but the money provided will be more limited. What is tested here is a contestant's interpersonal skills. How to attract more sponsorship to build a good planet is the key to passing the test." Romero's words made Chu Yi's temples swell. He asked in a low voice: "So you pushed those people away just now because you thought they were not qualified and wanted to take me to find a better backer?" "Smart." Romero nodded and smiled. "The Duke of Errolaka of the Empire has incredible financial resources and likes to invest in capable young people. You showed your face in the loyalty test this time. It will definitely not be difficult to get his praise." "Since this duke is as popular as you said, there must be a lot of geniuses looking for him. Can I catch up with them if I go there now?" Chu Yi frowned and expressed his concerns, then continued: "And I think this level doesn't depend on who has the best negotiation skills at all, it just depends on who has more backing money, isn't this equivalent to cheating? Those contestants who are unwilling to find a backer or cannot find a backer are naturally not on the same starting line as other contestants. That is too unfair!" Romero replied seriously: "If you can't find it, it means you are not suitable for politics at all, because politics requires smoothness, weighing the pros and cons, and playing both sides. If you can't do these, it will be difficult for you to handle the complicated relationships between officials, and it will be difficult for you to manage a huge empire in an orderly manner!" "Then maybe I am not born to be an official." Chu Yi said with a smile: "Lao Luo, you may not know my character. I am a person who cannot tolerate any sand in my eyes. The education I received since childhood will not allow me to sit idly by and watch any violation of rules and regulations. Therefore, if I become an official, I will not allow corruption and bribery to happen, as I will definitely offend countless people. So forget about helping me find a backer. Just like you said before, the Son of God's loyalty must belong to the Emperor, so my backer can only be the Emperor, and I won't recognize anyone else!" "In that case, instead of soliciting sponsorship, it shouldn't be a problem to get acquainted with these big shots. It will also make it easier for you to do things in the future." Romero pulled out two invitations and said, “Just now when you won the eighth round, this thing was delivered to me. Thousands of geniuses will attend this banquet. Originally, Mi was not qualified, but your performance in the loyalty test was too amazing, and your status as an heir also helped a lot, so you were invited as an exception." Chu Yi nodded: "Then go and take a look, but it's impossible for me to please those dignitaries. The most I can do is ask for the time." Romero smiled and said, "If you are too flattering, those powerful people will look down on you, but you should not be too disrespectful to others. After all, respect is mutual." "Okay, I'll try to be more enthusiastic."
........................ At night, at the Grand Hotel de Soclair. This is one of the largest hotels in the imperial capital. From the outside it looks like it has only a few dozen floors, but inside it is an area as big as the moon, and houses countless guests. Today, several nobles of the Empire held a banquet here to look for potential Emperor Champions and offer tributes for the trials. Because the nobles were very wealthy, they adhered to the principle of casting a wide net to catch more fish, and they invited thousands of potential contestants to the banquet. Of course, those contestants who come from aristocratic families are definitely not included in this list. Because they had received the news in advance, many reporters from the capital also came to the banquet, hoping to spread the news that the contestants had received sponsorship. After all, in the eyes of today's people, the size of the sponsorship can also be regarded as a reflection of the player's strength. Chu Yi was wearing the traditional formal attire of the empire, an exotic gown with delicate embroidery, and he looked very handsome. Not long after Chu Yi came in, Romero left, saying that he was going to look for the Duke he had mentioned before. Chu Yi looked around the hall and found that there were many young people. They held their heads high and chatted happily with the dignitaries around them, showing their elegance. Chu Yi looked for a while and felt that he really couldn't learn to socialize with others. The more lively the environment, the more socially anxious he became. Finally he walked towards the table, deciding to try what the Empire's fine dining restaurant was like. He had eaten in the army canteen before. Although it was basically all meat, the food was quite varied and most of the flavors were quite to his liking. However, perhaps because of the pursuit of speed and quantity, while ignoring the delicacy, the meat tastes a little rough and cannot withstand careful tasting. As the saying goes, one never tires of fine food. Chu Yi is used to eating big fish and meat, and he also wants to try what exquisite and high-end dishes taste like. Food, sex and desire are part of human nature. Isn't it true that people live their whole lives just for these few desires? So Chu Yi found the edge of the dining table and planned to taste it from the beginning. Considering that this was a high-end place, Chu Yi also adjusted his eating manners, tasting a little bit of everything, and cutting a few more pieces if they were delicious, instead of just picking up the plate and stuffing it into his mouth. Originally, Chu Yi thought that he was low-key enough and would not cause trouble, but he didn't expect that trouble would come to him. It all started when a girl attending the banquet thought he was very handsome and came over to ask for his contact information so that they could communicate in the future. Chu Yi is a very greedy person, so he has feelings for both Lin Siyao and Ji Chen. But apart from the two of them, Chu Yi's heart has no room for anyone else. So in response to the beautiful girl's question, he just waved his hand and said, "Thank you for your favor, but I already have a girlfriend and I don't plan to establish friendship with other girls." This was a refusal made for the sake of the girl's face. When the girl heard this, a hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes, but she still smiled and said it was okay, then turned and left. He originally thought that the matter ended here, but he didn't expect that a burly boy who was at least two meters and two centimeters tall came over after a while. This boy looks to be only two or three years older than Chu Yi. The hair on his face hasn't even grown out yet. He is at that age where his hormones are so strong and he craves attention from girls that it reduces his intelligence. Commonly known as a hot-blooded young man. After this young man came over, he questioned Chu Yi in a bad tone why he wanted to mess with that girl and whether he gave her his number.
After hearing the first half of the sentence, Chu Yi thought that the girl failed to get the phone number, so she found a dog to help her vent her anger. After hearing the second half of the sentence, Chu Yi immediately understood that this was a pure bootlicker who couldn't stand seeing girls chatting with him. After going through so many ups and downs, Chu Yi's self-restraint was very good. He didn't want to argue with these licking dogs at all. He just said: "Brother, you misunderstood. That girl asked me for my phone number, but I already have a girlfriend. They are quite strict, so I didn't give it to her. I didn’t say anything else to her.” "Is it really like that?" The young and inexperienced bootlicker was skeptical. Chu Yi answered sincerely, "Indeed, I am just a country boy who just came to the capital. There is no need to lie to you. I don't know anyone at the banquet except the person who brought me here." The boy scratched his head embarrassedly: "Uh... I'm sorry, I was too reckless. Sophia always gets so choked up when she sees a handsome guy. I saw her chatting with you for a while, and I got anxious... I'm sorry for scaring you." Although this young man licks people, he still has some sense and knows how to admit his mistakes. He is much better than those idiots who refuse to admit their mistakes. "It's okay." Chu Yi smiled slightly and sent him away. See, most troubles can be solved by just explaining the problem calmly. Chu Yi thought proudly in his heart. However, less than three minutes later, another girl came over. This girl is much more beautiful than the previous one. Except for the goddess of lust, she is definitely one of the most beautiful women Chu Yi has ever seen. To be honest, I was quite moved when I saw her for the first time. So when the girl came to talk to him, he did not refuse her at first. Fortunately, his rationality quickly took over, and just as he was about to say that he had a girlfriend, suddenly a tall and handsome guy walked over. "Kid, if you don't want to be humiliated, get out of here!" The handsome guy shouted at Chu Yi in an imposing manner, as if he could deal with Chu Yi with just one sentence. To be honest, he had never met such an arrogant person in his life. Even after two bloody battles with Brighton, this supreme demon who stood at the top of most living beings still respected him and always wanted to recruit himself to become his subordinate. As for Earth, no one dared to speak to him like this. But there is no way, after all, this is the capital of the empire where many hidden talents are. Who knows what kind of power is behind this arrogant kid. What if it turns out to be a marquis or duke whom you can't afford to offend? He can destroy you with just a word, so how could you dare to offend him? So if you can't afford to offend him, you can afford to avoid him. Chu Yi turned around and prepared to leave. As soon as I turned around, I heard the boy say, "See, Belle Vette, if you want to take revenge on me, you should have picked someone more decent. But out of all the people at the banquet, you picked such a loser. Your vision is really not good." Chu Yi stopped walking, turned around and looked at the boy, and asked helplessly, "No, buddy, I have no grudge against you, and I have never even met you. Why are you humiliating me like this? Do you look down on me just because I'm from the countryside?" "Why do I need to humiliate you? Do I need a reason to humiliate someone?" The boy laughed twice. "Your best choice now is to get out of here right now, otherwise I guarantee that you will end up in a miserable state." "The same goes for you." Chu Yi straightened his body and said calmly, "Please apologize immediately, otherwise you will end up in a miserable situation."
"Are you going to hit me?" The boy sneered. "Who do you think will come to help you when the fight breaks out? I'm the son of a duke, and you're just an insignificant country bumpkin. If you dare to start a fight, you'll be crushed into dust by my guards!" As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Yi felt an invisible pressure on his body, but he couldn't find the source of the pressure. It seems that there are indeed some very powerful masters hiding around this second-generation rich man. But Chu Yi never accepts any form of threats: "I'll say it one last time, apologize to me, otherwise I will make you kneel down and kowtow to me in public!" Chu Yi didn't know whether kneeling and kowtowing was humiliating in the imperial etiquette. But he just needs to let the second master do it. "Do you think I'm afraid of a country bumpkin like you?" The Duke's son rejected Chu Yi with a smile. The next second, a gust of air as violent as a hurricane swept across Chu Yi's body. With Super Saiyan, Martial God, and Death Gate all opened, Chu Yi's strength suddenly increased to the peak of the sixth level! (End of this chapter)
