Chapter 142: The National Martial Arts Tournament

  In the face of the dissatisfaction of the two elderly men, Ye Chen casually sat down in that seat, and the little panda was eating the fruit on the table with relish, as if no one was around. These fruits were ordinary for the little panda, far less delicious than when it was a bear before, but they could also satisfy its hunger.

  Ye Chen and Xiao Xiongmao's actions made the two elderly men, who were already dissatisfied, even more displeased. However, with Mingyue's previous instructions and since Mingyue hadn't said anything, the two elderly men didn't say much. Nevertheless, their discontented expressions had already filled their faces.

  "That, Ye Chen, I didn't originally want to drag you into this, but this time is also a great opportunity. I think Brother Ye Chen won't miss out on this good chance." Ming Yue smiled sweetly in her seat and then spoke mysteriously to Ye Chen.

  "What a good opportunity?" Ye Chen also had a curious face, he had just come over and there was already a good opportunity for himself, which was a bit abnormal. Was it just because of his good looks? This Ye Chen was not confident, Ye Chen knew that he didn't look handsome.

  "This opportunity, I think you must have heard of it, is the All-Martial Arts Tournament, a gathering held every five years. Anyone over 14 and under 25 can participate in this tournament." Mingyue said.

  "National Martial Arts Convention?" Ye Chen's expression changed as soon as he heard it, "It's been five years already?" Ye Chen thought about it and realized that at the time, he was only 14 years old, just barely meeting the entry requirements.

  At the beginning, he was also participating in this competition. The first prize of this competition is a famous sword, a high-level secret recipe, and 10 million credit points. These are enough to make all young people crazy. Moreover, this is only the first place in each star city, and from the first place to the hundredth place in each star city, there are rewards of varying degrees. At that time, Ye Chen was really short of credit points, so he also wanted to try his luck.

  If luck is good, as long as you enter the top 100, there will be a generous reward, enough to offset the credit points Ye Xue needs. The more tragic thing is that Ye Chen didn't even enter the top 10,000, let alone the top 100, and was defeated by a little fatty.

  "Anyway, the All-Martial Arts Tournament will be held in every city. The reward for first place is self-explanatory, but there's another hidden aspect to this competition - the teams behind all the ranked participants." Mingyue said.

  "Team behind?" Ye Chen heard this for the first time, isn't a competition an individual matter? How did they come up with a team behind? This Martial Arts Assembly doesn't even have a team competition, what's the point of having a team? Ye Chen had many doubts in his heart.

  "Yes, the team behind! As long as someone enters the top twenty, the team behind will get a lot of funding." Mingyue said simply, without revealing everything, and believed that Yechen could understand her words.

  Ye Dust has also experienced a lot, when Mingyue mentioned the team, he already had some ideas, and now hearing Mingyue's explanation, he can confirm what he thought in his heart, it turns out that not every participant is fighting alone.

  Some contestants have their own forces behind them, and as long as they get a good ranking, the forces behind them will also benefit greatly. Of course, Ye Chen is not clear about the specific operation, but he also knows that there must be many people who participate on their own, because Ye Chen has his own experience to share.

  "I'd like Brother Ye to sign up on behalf of our Ming family, I wonder what Brother Ye thinks." Ming Yue said with a smile as she saw Ye Chen's dazed expression.

  "What benefits do I get if I participate in the name of the Ming family?" Ye Chen didn't feel grateful just because he knew Ming Yue and she invited him to come over, so he asked without hesitation.

  If that's the case, then Ye Chen wouldn't be Ye Chen, but a fool or an idiot! On the contrary, Ye Chen was neither of those things, so when necessary, he still asked, but this opening remark made the two elderly men opposite him furious.

  "Hmph, it's already good that you can join under the name of the Ming family. You young one have gained more benefits, what else are you not satisfied with?" The old man opposite Ye Chen slapped the table and coldly snorted, extremely dissatisfied with Ye Chen's answer.

  "Haha, it seems there's no way to talk about it anymore. Thank you for Miss Mingyue's hospitality." As he spoke, Ye Chen smiled and stood up, picking up the little panda bear and preparing to leave.

  Watching Ye Chen about to leave, Ming Yue hurriedly stood up, "Hehe, Brother Ye Chen is still so direct. How about this? If Brother Ye Chen doesn't mind, we'll give you 300,000 credit points?"

  No wonder he's from a big family, 300,000 credit points were given out just like that, without even raising an eyebrow. It's worth knowing that Ye Chen had to work hard to earn one credit point back then, yet the other party casually took out such a huge amount of 300,000.

  "Three million?" Ye Chen was shocked by the huge sum, looking like he had lost his composure. The two old men opposite him looked at Ye Chen with a city dweller's gaze on a country bumpkin, thinking that as a low-class human being, he could be bought off with just three million.

  Of course, this gaze was very hidden and not noticed by Ye Chen. At this time, Ye Chen also didn't have the mood to look at his opponent. However, just registering with the name of Ming's family could get a huge sum of 3 million, which showed that this team was much more important than he thought.

  The bright moon looked at Ye Chen, who didn't say a word, and just waited for Ye Chen to speak up. After snapping back to reality, Ye Chen looked around at the few people staring at him, with a somewhat embarrassed expression. Even now, Ye Chen had never seen such a huge sum of 300,000 credits before. The most he had ever seen was 100,000 credit points on Qin Mu's body.

  "This, I've never seen so many credit points before. Suddenly hearing it, I'm stunned, haha, don't be surprised. However, for three million, I'm afraid I won't be able to comply." Ye Chen said with a smile.

  "Hey kid, don't be greedy. With 300,000 yuan, I can invite two people like you to come over if I give it to someone else." an old man said loudly.

  "If so, why don't you call a few more people? Why bother calling just me?" Ye Chen retorted with a smile.

  "Hehe, I believe Brother Ye Chen has the real ability and will bring us enough profit. To be honest, I don't know what it would take for Brother Ye Chen to help us?" Ming Yue said with a displeased expression towards the two old men, then turned around with a smile and spoke to Ye Chen.

  Mingyue looks very elegant and poised, but sometimes the words that come out of her mouth reveal a strong mercantile tone. Perhaps it's because she has to support such a large family, and on top of that, they're in a different city, so everything needs to be started from scratch. This has placed a heavy burden on Mingyue at such a young age.

  "Hehe, since Miss Mingyue has spoken up, it wouldn't be good if I didn't agree. Alright, in addition to the 300,000 credit points, I need a good sword, preferably a famous one!" Ye Chen thought for a moment before speaking up.

  Ye Chen also had a purpose, although the long knife in his hand was of sufficient quality, but when he encountered strong enemies, it was somewhat difficult to wield. If he had a famous sword in his hand, it would be very suitable.
