Chapter 1174

Lin Cheng's eyes flickered with uncertainty. On one hand, it wasn't that the possibility General Ji Xia mentioned didn't exist, but this would clearly run counter to the development mission issued by the system, and he couldn't gauge exactly what would happen.

He could only play it by ear when the time came.

The night passed without a word.

The next day, Lin Cheng and the two others arrived at the restaurant early and ate breakfast. Just then, they were informed by the relevant staff that the fifth floor could be headed to ahead of time, so without much hesitation they went straight there.

Today would continue the competition that couldn't be finished last night. By all rights, they had to decide on over a dozen martial artists to participate in the final tournament.

Lin Cheng wasn't very clear on this point. The rules of this arena competition, when he thought about it later, were far too simple — basically decided on a whim.

Otherwise, the rules wouldn't be riddled with so many loopholes, such as the matter Lin Cheng had raised at the time.

He always felt it shouldn't be the case that any martial artist who could get a ten-win streak could just claim the corresponding reward.

The Young Master isn't a fool — how could he possibly do such a losing deal?

But you never know; anything is possible. Maybe there really is such a fool.

The thoughts of the rich are always so plain and unadorned, only seeking to satisfy any of their own bizarre whims.

When they arrived at the fifth floor, there were clearly already people there, but overall they had still come too early. The relevant staff of the arena competition hadn't arrived yet, and only a small number of martial artists were chatting softly in their seats.

Lin Cheng and the two others still sat in last night's seats, then began chatting like everyone else.

"Tomorrow evening, we'll be able to reach Mo Li Wharf. Finally time to reopen the smithy."

"Just thinking about it makes me a little excited." The joy and happiness on Lin Cheng's face could not be suppressed.

Miss Qianhui was equally excited and asked anxiously, "Will milk tea and the chocolate you mentioned later also be sold at the smithy? I think I should be able to help you manage the sales of milk tea and chocolate very well."

Lin Cheng had originally planned it this way, but since Miss Qianhui brought it up herself, he resolutely decided to let General Ji Xia manage the sales of milk tea and chocolate, for no other reason.

Because General Ji Xia had little interest in milk tea and chocolate.

If Miss Qianhui were put in charge, probably before much got sold, the stock would all be eaten up by Miss Qianhui herself.

"The sales of milk tea and chocolate, I'll have General Ji Xia take charge of. By then, the scale of the smithy definitely can't be as small as before. We have to plan it out properly, then use magic to decorate the interior architectural style — it has to be unique. At the same time, we also need an exhibition hall and sales area like those of the Dashang Society, and it's best to have sales guides and so on."

In short, everything should be benchmarked against the Dashang Society. There's no need to worry about money at all — once the reputation and market are opened up, the people coming to seek cooperation afterward will only keep flowing in endlessly.

Lin Cheng roughly counted the manpower and found that with Miss Qianhui, General Ji Xia, plus Valkyrie Ailin, Little Red, and the Cloud Garment sisters, the headcount seemed about right.

If there really weren't enough hands, they could recruit some young ladies and just train them up later.

"Then what do I do?" Miss Qianhui was a little deflated — not being in charge of milk tea and chocolate sales was truly too upsetting.

Her dream of lying around eating all day, then eating while lying down, was shattered.

"You'll be in charge of the cash register."

"Fine." Miss Qianhui had already anticipated it.

Being in charge of taking money and managing the sales of milk tea and chocolate was about the same; she kept consoling herself.

In any case, she had already begun managing Lin Cheng's wealth, which also counted as having taken control of the household's finances.

While chatting, the martial artists throughout the audience seats gradually increased. The originally faint sounds around them also gradually grew louder and louder, until everyone almost ignored the martial artists around them and began chatting freely with the people beside them.

Only when the number of martial artists in the entire audience seats was close to last night's did the relevant crew members arrive one after another, along with last night's referee. Today he had changed into a blue-and-white crew uniform and trimmed his hair into a style that looked very spirited.

"Welcome, everyone, to today's arena competition. Today's matches will continue the portion that was still unfinished last night. In the morning, we will complete the list of sixteen finalists. The afternoon will be rest time, and by evening we will hold the final tournament. The Lishi Society's Young Master will personally present the award to the champion."

"Then let's quickly begin the matches. Yesterday, a total of seven martial artists with five-win streaks were selected. According to the list, there are still nine spots available for martial artists to qualify. Please absolutely do not miss the chance to challenge. At the same time, let us invite yesterday's six contestants — today we are additionally giving everyone one chance to challenge. If you feel dissatisfied with a certain contestant on stage, you may still come up to challenge. Win, and you can replace them in the finals. But each contestant is limited to only one challenger!"

"I see."

Lin Cheng had pretty much figured out the mechanism of this ten-win-streak arena competition. First, select some five-win-streak fighters as a draw, then select a sufficient number of five-win-streak martial artists in total, then concentrate on holding the finals, and finally decide the champion. Counting this so-called direct-entry opportunity, the number of matches came out to exactly ten.

"Now let us invite yesterday's first martial artist to achieve a five-win streak to take the stage!" Death.
