Not a god

Chapter 200 Losing Money
Auditions are in full swing across the country, making it one of the hottest topics recently.

This is just the preliminary audition. We conducted a survey beforehand to see how many viewers would come to watch. The preliminary audition lasted for two weeks, with tens of thousands of tickets available every day, and they were all snapped up in no time.

The crowd on the sidelines wanted to drink, showing just how popular the preliminary rounds were.

After the establishment of competition venues in various regions, in addition to the grand national league like this one, there will be various leagues and competitions in various regions in the future.

If all goes well, the Tianmingren competition will attract nationwide attention and become a more significant event than various sports and e-sports competitions. The powerful Tianmingren will be revered by everyone like leaders.

"Brother, I'm going out for dinner with them, so I won't be coming home for dinner tonight!"

"Well, let's go."

"Hehe, how did I do just now?"

"Very impressive, but as a spiritual cultivator, you are still too weak. You should keep a clone to protect yourself, instead of sending them all out like you did just now..."

"My companions are very strong; they will protect me!"

Chen Xi was taken aback when he heard this. Looking at this spoiled girl who had always been so spoiled, he suddenly felt a sense of relief that his younger sister had grown up. He smiled and said, "Remember to come back before eleven o'clock, otherwise I won't be able to help your second aunt if she wants to punish you."

"Don't talk about it outside..." He Congxue thought of something, smiled brightly at him, stretched out her fair palm, and slowly revealed the character "Xi" as she smiled charmingly: "Besides, I still have my brother to protect me now!"

Chen Xi just smiled and waved for her to leave; he still had work to do.

"The next team to participate is a team with one god and four terrible players, heading to venue number three..."

As the group left, people in the stadium stands shouted their names, offering encouragement, praise, and even declarations of love.

Among their companions, Hua Wuying, a spirited young man, arrogantly blew kisses to the audience, while He Congxue waved upwards as she walked.

Lin Ruhai was speechless. It was just a preliminary selection; anyone who didn't know better would think they had won the championship.

"One, two..."

"Shanghai Heroes Team, victory is certain! Victory is certain! Victory is certain!"

Someone in the audience shouted at them, holding up a banner.

"Shanghai Heroes Team, victory is certain! Victory is certain! Victory is certain!"

These people all came to visit them today after learning about the situation through their official account.

Lin Ruhai and his companions were stunned, and suddenly a surge of boundless pride welled up in their hearts.

Everyone realized that a new era had arrived.

He will lead his companions, forging ahead against the current, striving for the forefront. In this new era, all eyes will be on one direction: the chosen ones, wealth, fame, social status—everything will be redistributed.

Whether it's Luo Wenchuan, Zhang Taiyuan, or even Su Jiu'er who has already condensed half of a godhood... he is ready to join all the new generation's prodigies in pursuing that supreme status!
Just, just...

Lin Ruhai glanced back at the judges' platform and looked at the young man, who was about the same age as him, talking to the other judges.

"Director Chen's cousin is only sixteen years old; her potential is limitless..."

"That's Mr. Lin's great-grandson, so Xiaoxue will have to ask Brother Lin to take good care of her..."

"Hey, hey, why are you calling me 'brother'? We're friends despite the age difference, there's a generation gap between us..."

The Heavenly Man League is undoubtedly a huge profit chain. Each faction had previously discussed how to get a larger share of the spoils from the official organization and the Youth Federation. However, after Director Chen's arrival at the Shanghai branch, something happened, and the entire situation changed. This Director Chen, sitting among the elders of each faction, was excessively young.

Lin Ruhai was confident that he was among the top ten of the younger generation in the old era, even nationwide. However, as fellow second-tier members, any one of these elders could easily take on an entire second-tier squad of theirs.

They may have no hope of breaking through to the third tier, but time has not only etched years upon them, but also unparalleled experience and spiritual power as deep and unfathomable as an abyss.

These stubborn old men from various ethnic groups are indeed strong, but they also have truly terrible tempers.

They wouldn't even be polite to the Shepherd, but now, these clan elders are actually so 'polite' in front of that young man?
And the test mech that unleashed its third-tier power—they were interrupted when they tried to ask about it.

These old guys definitely know a lot, but they keep quiet about it.

This Director Chen... at first glance, he seems quite ordinary. He appears to be a refined and easy-going young man, but... wait, something feels off.

Lin Ruhai's destiny is to be the Sword Master. His second-tier ability is similar to Su Jiu'er's: the ability to sense danger and avoid harm.

Unlike Su Jiu'er's passive nature, his ability to sense danger requires him to mentally regard the other party as an imaginary enemy, and for the other party to appear in his sight, he needs the wind to bring the other party's aura to his side.

I don’t know if it’s just my imagination, but this guy seems even more terrifying to me than the Tier 3 test mechs on the field. No, he’s even more terrifying than the Thirteen Skeletons who have mysteriously disappeared.

The message hidden in the wind told him that there was something in that direction that he absolutely could not offend.

Even when he was killed by the Skeleton King, he had never trembled like this. Trembled? His hands were actually trembling just because he felt hostility towards the other party.

"..." Is it because you just went through a big battle, so your senses are a bit impaired?
Just then, the young man seemed to notice his gaze, looked up, and smiled calmly.

In an instant, Lin Ruhai felt as if he were rowing a small boat on a boundless, calm sea.

Beneath the sea surface, a gigantic eye quietly opened and glanced at him. The sheer size of that creature was enough to drive anyone to despair simply by sensing his presence.

That chilling feeling appeared quickly and disappeared just as quickly. By the time he realized what was happening, he and his teammates had already left the arena.

"Who exactly is that person?"

……

When Chen Xi got off work, she received a call from Su Jiu'er. What urgent matter needed her to call and report? If you were to ask who you least wanted to answer the phone from, Su Jiu'er would definitely be in the top three.

Because this guy only calls when he's in trouble. Last time, he slashed a passerby's new car, which had a loan of hundreds of thousands of dollars, and got a complaint. The time before that, he slashed an overpass and got the road administration to come knocking on his door... Although these are all minor things, minor things are what cause trouble.

Chen Xi felt that there was an urgent need for a set of laws and regulations applicable to the destruction of public property by those who acted as chivalrous heroes; otherwise, every time, all parties would have to go through a long and complicated dispute.

"Master, Senior Brother!"

The flustered tone indicated that they had definitely messed up.

Chen Xi felt a headache coming on as soon as she heard this, and asked helplessly, "What is it?"

"Senior brother, it's true, a day apart feels like three autumns. I haven't had the chance to admire you in Jiangcheng for so long..."

"Let the fart go."

The person opposite swallowed hard and asked cautiously, "So, are those test mechs of ours expensive?"
