Chapter 323 The master invites you

After a few people communicated outside the door, Xiao Hongchen took them into the venue for the Ordinary League.

The Mingting Hotel is a hotel with a very good location in the center of Mingdu and a very luxurious decoration. Generally speaking, it only serves dignitaries. But today, as the venue for the Ordinary Alliance Soul Master Elite Competition, it is rare that it is open to many civilians. .

These people included contestants and spectators. It was the first time for many of them to come to such a luxurious place in their lives. Therefore, after hearing that the Ordinary League was held here, more people came to their site to sign up and watch. many.

In fact, this is also a small way for Pingfanmeng to attract people.

Although it is a soul master elite competition jointly organized by three companies, the three companies are still in a competitive relationship. If someone goes to yours, then I will make less money. The three companies will not relax at this critical moment.

What's more, in terms of attracting people, Pingfanmeng has advantages that the other two companies do not have, which will be discussed in detail later.

Today, the Mingting Hotel is open, but not fully open. To be precise, they are not open to the public, only open to contestants and registered spectators. Therefore, Huo Yuhao and others were blocked when they entered. However, after laughing After Hongchen revealed his identity, the service staff immediately changed their attitude and respectfully invited the four people inside to watch the game.

It’s not that the Ordinary League has no background in Ming Dynasty, but firstly, Xiao Hongchen is not here to cause trouble, he just wants to come and have a look. Secondly, they obviously don’t want to offend Mingde Hall for such a trivial matter. After all, Xiao Hongchen’s position in Mingde Hall is Judging from his status, he has a certain right to speak.

If he wants to embarrass the Ordinary Alliance, although it will not be said that it will break his muscles and bones, some unnecessary troubles are inevitable.

What's more, the three major chambers of commerce organize this kind of competition with the original purpose of making money from these dignitaries. Although Xiao Hongchen didn't buy today's ticket, it's not like opening a backdoor for big bosses of their status. Something worthy of stirring up publicity.

After entering the door of Mingting Hotel, an aura of luxury instantly spreads across the room. The entire hotel lobby is magnificently decorated. Just the look and feel can make some people with little money feel fear. It is very likely that even the price is too high. Not daring to ask, he ran away.

When Huo Yuhao first saw it, his heart tightened. For Huo Yuhao, who had never stayed in a hotel like this before, even though he was already very, very rich, he was still a little afraid, fearing that he could not afford to spend his money.

This cannot be blamed on Huo Yuhao. This is a common problem among many people who had a bad life experience when they were young. Because they are more sensitive than ordinary people, they are more afraid of being looked down upon by others, especially when it comes to money.

But in fact, the consumption here is not as expensive as Huo Yuhao imagined. In terms of Huo Yuhao's financial resources, it is not even a drop in the bucket.

The waiter led them quickly through the hall, which could be described as magnificent, and came to a dark door with an ordinary appearance. The style of this door was incompatible with the overall style of the Mingting Hotel.

Thinking about it, after all, it is a competition with a large number of participants. It is impossible to put the competition venue in the hall. There is a high probability that the door behind this door leads to the underground. Only the underground venue can accommodate so many people. , holding it underground is also in line with the status of the three major chambers of commerce.

Huo Yuhao's guess was correct. After the waiter opened the dark door, what passed behind the door was indeed underground.

"Yuhao, do you know why the three major chambers of commerce hold this competition?"

As the waiter led the four of them into the competition venue, Xiao Hongchen, who was a little bored because of the long road, started talking to Huo Yuhao.

"Isn't it to make money?"

Huo Yuhao responded, this is what Xiao Hongchen said to him just now. Is there any other reason?

"Yes, but they won't make money by hosting this kind of competition. Instead, they will lose some money. After all, they want to set up championship rewards."

"Yu Hao, you may not know that our Mingdu competition has a small rule, that is, no force is allowed to speculate on the results of the competition."

"This is the result of a game played by the empire's high-level officials. I don't know why. I seem to have heard that someone in the court doesn't like handicaps. I don't know the specific results of the game, but in the end His Majesty agreed to the proposal. Handicaps are completely prohibited in this competition. , all forces in the Ming capital that violate the principles will be purged."

"Opening is the most profitable gray industry. After the empire banned it, it was equivalent to cutting off a large part of the income source of the three major chambers of commerce. Therefore, the top leaders of the three major companies decided to take this opportunity to jointly organize such a soul master elite competition. , the purpose is not to elect some elite soul master, but to make money."

"Gather that part of the money because you can't start the Soul Master Competition."

While walking on the road, Xiao Hongchen told Huo Yuhao the ins and outs of this incident. This incident sounded very interesting.

Moreover, the Soul Master Elite Competition was closely related to the Soul Master Competition they participated in. Xiao Hongchen said that he brought Huo Yuhao for fun, which was indeed a good fun.

"This is how the Soul Master Elite Competition came about. However, brother, the Soul Master Elite Competition and the Soul Master Competition are not at the same level. The three major chambers of commerce want to make money from this, but the effect should not be very good."

Wang Qiuer and Meng Hongchen had also been listening to Xiao Hongchen's introduction to the Soul Master Elite Competition. After Xiao Hongchen finished speaking, Meng Hongchen immediately raised questions.

"That's not necessarily the case. You don't know how crazy people are. Such a grand event will arouse the desire in many people's hearts. They also hope to participate in such a crazy event, but they are not qualified to participate, so what should they do? ? We can only compete based on the handicap situation."

"But Mingdu's regulations do not allow the opening of the market, and the accumulated emotions in their hearts cannot be released. It just so happens that there is a Soul Master Elite Competition here for them to release, and everyone will release their emotions here. It is true that the Soul Master Elite Competition cannot completely It can replace the effect of the Soul Master Competition, but it is enough for the three major chambers of commerce to make money."

Xiao Hongchen explained.

While several people were talking, the waiter also took them to the hall where the competition was taking place. The competition hall is located deep underground in the Mingting Hotel. The space here is very large. It is possible to build such an underground base in the center of Mingdu. It is enough to show that the Ordinary League has a lot of energy in Mingdu.

Because building an underground base in Mingdu not only requires money, but also requires a lot of power. Digging such an underground base is nothing, but it takes a lot of effort to get permission to dig.

As for a huge underground base like Mingdetang, it cannot be sheltered by ordinary bosses. It must be unanimously agreed by the top leaders of the country before construction can begin. This also reflects the status of Mingdetang in the Sun and Moon Empire.

When a few of them arrived here, a game was going on in full swing. As soon as they entered, they immediately felt what it meant to be a bustling crowd. If the noise here really happened late at night in the center of Mingdu, it would probably alarm the Sun and Moon Empire. Praetorian Guards!

Compared with the serious soul master competition held by the Sun and Moon Empire, the rules of the competition held by the three major chambers of commerce are much simpler and rougher. The rules of the first round of qualifying are to be able to make a third-level soul guide independently at the competition venue. Once you have produced a level three soul guide, you will be eligible to participate in the official competition.

The intensity of the Soul Master Elite Competition organized by private forces still cannot be compared with the real Soul Master Competition. To be more precise, it should be quite inferior.

There are many people participating here, and even more people watching. However, generally speaking, the preliminaries are not particularly exciting. Those dignitaries who have other more exciting nightlife will not waste their time on the preliminaries, so, Today's audience is mostly civilians.

But Huo Yuhao and the others were different. Nightlife during their competition was quite boring, so Xiao Hongchen came to take them to watch another competition.

The audience is quite enthusiastic about the competition in the venue. Even if the level is not high, they still try their best to release their enthusiasm to the contestants. At this stage, the audience is still relatively unfamiliar with the contestants and will not scatter their money casually. So, at this stage, it is not the main way for the three major chambers of commerce to make money.

But as the game progresses, the subsequent games will become more and more exciting. When they watch all the way, they will naturally have their favorite players. That's when they will really make big bets, and the three major chambers of commerce will reap the rewards. The best chance.

"Brother, their standards are a bit low. Look at that. They can't even make a third-level soul guide. Don't the organizers do any screening?"

After the four people sat down, they began to watch the game with great interest.

What surprised Xiao Hongchen was that Meng Hongchen was really interested in the competition. The atmosphere here was very good. She commented on the players on the court with some interest. Unfortunately, the level of these players was not very high. Their soul guidance device production level is very weak, which greatly reduces the interest of knowledgeable people in the field.

Meng Hongchen was one of them. She looked at it for a while and then sighed.

But there are also some capable players, and anyone with a sharp eye can see that these people are really well-founded, which can be distinguished from the way they portray the core magic circle.

"This is just the first day of qualifiers. The qualifiers are divided into three days. The real competition is only after the qualifiers. This qualifier is just for screening, so naturally it won't be that good."

Xiao Hongchen explained.

The strength of the players in the qualifiers is indeed somewhat uneven, which is inevitable. This is also the purpose of the qualifiers. Otherwise, if all the players are pre-determined, the game will be too boring.

After watching the game for a while, a few people felt that although the atmosphere was good, the strength of the contestants was still too poor. They wanted to leave and wait until the main game to come back to watch the excitement, which would be a good time.

"Young Master Xiao, my master invites you."

When the four of them stood up and were about to leave, a beautiful waiter suddenly came to Xiao Hongchen and invited him.
