Global Lords: Starting with Female Hero Fusion

Chapter 243 - 235: Rookie Competition (14)

"Zhao Chi, come to Lounge 7 next door."

Zhao Chi suddenly heard a woman’s voice.

He’d heard it a few times, and it had left a deep impression.

It was Zhao Tan.

Zhao Chi didn’t know where the lounge was.

When he looked up again, both Zhao Quan and Zhao Tan were gone.

Zhao Chi first sent Gu Qing and the others back.

Then, after asking the staff, he went through a passageway on the other side and arrived at Lounge 7.

The interior was luxuriously decorated.

It looked like a recreation room.

The floor was covered with a deep red carpet, and various foods and fruits were laid out on a table.

Further inside, there were several lounge chairs.

Zhao Quan was lying on a lounge chair, flanked by several beautiful Female Soldiers in Yellow Armor.

That Yellow Armor was a bit like the nobles’ Golden Armor, but it lacked the metallic sheen.

Zhao Tan was sitting on the other side.

Upon seeing Zhao Chi, Zhao Quan gestured with his chin. "Sit."

In front of the lounge chairs was a leather sofa.

Zhao Chi nodded and went to sit down.

The sofa was very soft; he didn’t know what Material it was made of.

Immediately, two Female Soldiers in Yellow Armor came over to serve tea.

Zhao Chi hesitated. After all, these women seemed to be Zhao Quan’s private property.

Zhao Quan smiled and said, "It’s fine. Try this. It’s our specially supplied tea; you can’t normally get it."

Zhao Chi thanked him and took the teacup.

Inside was a light green tea, and it did indeed have a fresh fragrance.

Zhao Chi didn’t want to drink anything from any outsider.

But...

He could only take a sip.

But honestly, the tea tasted truly excellent.

As fresh and pure as Tang Ruan.

"Good tea."

Zhao Chi praised sincerely.

Zhao Quan sat up with a smile.

"Your potential is not bad. You really made it into the top 8. And the Attributes of your Human Race members are all mutated, much higher than ordinary Humans."

Zhao Chi was silent for a moment.

He had long considered this possibility, but he hadn’t expected it to happen so soon.

After all, there were many types of reconnaissance and detection Spiritual Techniques in this world. It wasn’t difficult for someone to see the Attributes of Zhao Chi’s people.

Even if he hadn’t participated in this tournament, he would eventually have to join team battles and national wars.

This information would be discovered sooner or later.

It was impossible to completely hide all the information about his territory.

The best he could do was to hide his key Abilities as much as possible.

Zhao Chi nodded. "Yes, I’m very lucky."

Zhao Tan said, "Luck is a part of strength."

"That’s right." Zhao Quan waved his hand. "Give it to him."

"Alright."

Zhao Tan stood up and walked over to Zhao Chi.

A Silver Treasure Chest appeared in her hand.

Zhao Quan said, "Take it. This is your reward for reaching the top 8. This isn’t a virtual item; it’s a real, physical Silver Treasure Chest."

Zhao Chi thanked him and accepted it.

Zhao Quan asked again, "Why are all your Soldiers masked? Do they have something to hide?"

Zhao Chi grew slightly nervous.

But he quickly calmed down.

’There’s nothing wrong with wearing masks, after all.’

"I’m afraid the enemy will remember their Appearance and, in turn, remember their Abilities."

"Oh, so it’s to hide information. I see. Look, what’s this?"

A Golden Treasure Chest appeared in Zhao Quan’s hand.

It glittered with golden light.

Truly a tempting object.

But Zhao Chi remained perfectly calm in his Inner Heart.

He felt no desire for it whatsoever.

Zhao Quan smiled. "Do you have the confidence to win the championship?"

Zhao Chi said, "Everyone who comes here is aiming for the championship. But whether one can win or not, we’ll only know at the very end."

"That’s right. If you can win the championship, this Golden Treasure Chest is yours."

"I... I’ll do my best."

Zhao Chi wanted a Golden Treasure Chest, but he didn’t want Zhao Quan’s Golden Treasure Chest.

Taking things from nobles always comes with a price.

The more valuable the item, the greater the price.

It was a principle even a child would know.

Zhao Quan smiled and put the Treasure Chest away.

"Don’t put too much pressure on yourself; just perform as you normally would. Don’t let other factors affect your performance. I actually think your chances of winning aren’t small."

[The Cao Family of Nangu Village has filed a cheating complaint. Please proceed to the Reexamination Room for re-testing.]

’Another complaint?’

’I’ve fought four battles and been reported three times.’

’Even Cao Feng filed a complaint?’

’What’s his reason? Is it because my Female Soldiers are too fast?’

"What’s wrong? Why are you spacing out?" Zhao Quan asked.

"I’ve been reported again. I have to go to the Reexamination Room for testing. They suspect me of cheating."

"Zhao Tan told me you’ve already been tested several times?"

"Yes. Including this one, it’ll be the third time!"

Zhao Quan frowned. "The third time? That’s ridiculous. Hasn’t your family filed a countersuit?"

’A countersuit?’

Zhao Chi shook his head.

Zhao Tan added, "No one from the Zhao Family came this time. Only two juniors are here with Zhao Chi."

"Oh?" Zhao Quan was very surprised. "Where’s your Clan Leader? And your family elders? None of them came?"

Zhao Chi nodded. "That’s right. They said they’ve been extremely busy lately and couldn’t get away."

Zhao Tan reminded him, "They should be preparing for that matter."

"Oh... I see. In that case, I’ll go with you. Let’s go."

Zhao Chi looked at Zhao Quan in surprise.

Zhao Quan smiled. "Your family is working for me, so if they can’t find the time, it’s my fault, really. This is perfect. I’ll help you handle this little matter on their behalf. At my Age, it’s appropriate for me to act as your elder. Let’s go!"

Zhao Chi wasn’t quite sure of Zhao Quan’s Age.

The ages of these nobles were a mystery.

Some looked very young, but could be old geezers over a hundred years old.

This Zhao Quan looked to be under 30, but his actual age was likely much older.

But none of that really mattered.

Although Zhao Chi had been trying his best to avoid getting involved with Zhao Quan, it seemed he couldn’t avoid it at all.

’Then let’s go.’

Just then, a voice call came in from Zhao Huai.

Zhao Huai: [Zhao Chi, you got the message, right? Another test... We’re waiting for you at the entrance of the Reexamination Room. Come on over.]

Zhao Chi: [Okay... I’m on my way.]
