Chapter 566

What a tragic love story.

Shi Juan really is just average-looking.

But having a woman who can wholeheartedly and willingly support him at all times is also a blessing.

Unfortunately, Cao Feng doesn't care for that kind of blessing.

There are too many cases of flowers falling with affection while the flowing water remains heartless.

Zhao Chi asked: "Cao Feng, are we betting again this time? You can put on a good show in front of Lu Yi and redeem your face from last time."

"This…"

Cao Feng was actually considering it.

Zhao Chi was only teasing him, after all Zhao Chi had no intention of playing seriously.

Cao Feng shook his head: "Forget it, I'm not that kind of petty person. I don't care at all about what happened before."

What a fucking pretentious show-off.

"Wow, as expected of Brother Cao."

Shi Juan's flattery was already on its way.

At this moment, Zhao Chi saw Xiao Rui walk over.

Xiao Luan was walking alongside him.

But Xiao Ning might never be able to appear again.

After Xiao Rui saw Zhao Chi, he didn't say a word.

Zhao Chi knew about what their family had gone through, so he didn't say anything either.

But Xiao Rui glared fiercely at Zhao Chi.

His eyes were filled with hatred.

Filled with hatred?

How could this be?

"Xiao Rui!"

Zhao Chi roared.

"Holy shit! What's wrong?"

Xiao Rui flinched, asking instinctively.

"Eek!" Lu Yi jumped back a step in fright.

Cao Feng didn't speak, but his whole body tensed up, staring at Zhao Chi in astonishment.

Zhao Chi said: "Xiao Rui, why are you glaring at me? What's your problem?"

Xiao Rui gritted his teeth: "When did I glare at you? Is there something wrong with your eyes?"

Cao Feng said in surprise: "Xiao Rui? Long time no see."

Xiao Rui saw Cao Feng and paused: "Long time no see, let's chat later, I'm really not in the mood right now."

He glanced at Zhao Chi again, then turned and left.

This time his gaze was normal.

In just this short while, quite a few students had gathered nearby.

But basically they all came for Lu Yi.

Zhao Chi said a brief goodbye to Lu Yi and walked aside to wait.

There were quite a lot of people registering, but the speed was fast.

Before long, Zhao Chi received a system notification.

【You have succeeded in registering for the "Rookie Tournament", with Zhao Huai as guarantor. If you have any questions, please contact the River Valley Town Virtual Training Ground in time for consultation】

【You may now configure your lineup for the "Rookie Tournament". You may make changes at any time before each battle】

【The "Match Format" and "Prize List" for this tournament have been issued. You may check them at any time】

Looks like this counts as registration complete.

As long as battle configurations can be adjusted at any time, that's good.

Zhao Chi clicked to view.

【Match Lineup Configuration】

【Personal information has not yet been retrieved. Retrieval is about to be performed. Confirm?】

The system's information confidentiality level is very high.

Retrieval doesn't matter.

And the Qieyebu Society would have no faction or organization specifically investigating Zhao Chi, a civilian newbie lord.

Would the National Security Bureau investigate a contestant in a village-level civilian-run tournament?

And concentrate all resources on it at that?

No one would be that bored out of their mind.

Clicked agree.

【Contestant Information】:

【Name】 Zhao Chi

【Race】 Human

【Replenishment】 20 people per day

【Configuration】 200 people

Ordinary humans replenish 5 people per day.

The Taoyuan human race replenishes 10 people per day, and Zhao Chi has two territories, so he can replenish 20 people.

The number of refugees who can be fielded for 10 days, so Zhao Chi can field 200 people, while other human races can only field 50 people.

However, Zhao Chi plans to field only 50 people himself.

This way it won't attract too much attention.

And 50 people is also a good number for configuring the lineup.

Himself plus three female heroes, plus 46 female soldiers will do.

Among those female soldiers, 30 are veterans, all around level 7-9.

The remaining veterans lost 20 people, and new ones were replenished later; the new recruits are around level 4.

The levels aren't high.

But he can buy some Experience Pills to eat.

At least raising them to level 10 is no problem, and Zhao Chi can afford it.

Once they reach level 10, these female soldiers can be promoted.

But a new troop-type building needs to be constructed.

Zhao Chi already arranged Fang Li to build it, and it should be completed by this afternoon.

【Competition Format】

【Format】Single-elimination tournament

【Matching】Point difference

【Participants】88 pre-registered

【Time】September 20th, 9:00

【Champion】First choice of 3 prizes

【Runner-up】Second choice of 2 prizes

【Third place】Third choice of 2 prizes

【Others】Other participants in the top 10 choose 1 prize according to their ranking

Single-elimination tournament?

This is actually the most brutal format.

As long as you lose once, regardless of the reason.

Even if you're countered or make a mistake, you're eliminated outright.

After all, on a real battlefield, magical beasts don't care about your reasons; if they should kill you, they kill you without hesitation.

Although the format is brutal, it's also very realistic.

The matching method is point difference.
