Metaverse: Establishing a God-tier Civilization at the Start

Luo Tian, the founder of the world's most successful metaverse game, earning millions annually, had already reached the peak of his life!

But when he woke up, he found himself trapped in ...

Chapter 16 Contestant Selection

Luo Tian publicly proposed to participate in the star picking competition and to be a star picker, which caused the nobles to burst into laughter.

They all knew that Robert's stupid son had been slow to react, withdrawn and autistic for the past twenty years, and had accomplished nothing. If it weren't for Robert's love, he would have been bullied to death. In the King's District, such a disabled person could only be used as a human battery.

Being alive is good enough, and the whimsical idea of becoming a star picker is simply a foolish dream. The nobles did not dare to say anything rude in front of Robert, so they could only vent their anger with laughter.

Robert cleared his throat and coughed twice. The nobles all stopped smiling and the room gradually became quiet.

Harvey said, "According to the rules of previous years, the contestants of the Star Picking Competition are selected from the royal family and nobles. If the number is not enough, we will recommend warriors from several of our families. Anyway, we only have a few places every year, so this is enough."

Rob said, "There are still four places this time. Do you have any recommendations? I think we should choose the best. Harvey, you always recommended the candidates in the past. What do you think?"

Harvey said, "Last time we sent two princes, Roger and Roy, as well as Reuben's son Rooney and Miguel's son Miller. This time the two princes must participate, and the other two spots can be given to others. My son Harry has been preparing for the competition in recent years, and he has made great progress. Since the emperor said that he would select the best from the best, I will recommend him, and he can go. The other spot can be given to Reuben's youngest son Rooney."

Martha suddenly stood up, slammed her fan on the table, and said angrily, "Harvey, you are such a good person. I have no objection to Rob's son going. Ruben's two sons took turns going, and Miguel's only son has also been there. Your son is going to participate this time. Does that mean our Maren family will never be able to make it to the stage?"

Harvey quickly walked up to Martha and comforted her, "Your two daughters are both talented and beautiful, but the Star-Picking Competition is a battle between men. You say I can't let your daughters participate in such a dangerous competition, right? If you have a son, I would definitely recommend it."

Martha laughed: "Are you mocking me for not being able to give birth to a son? I have thousands of warriors in West Town, can't I choose a good one?"

Harvey said, "The warriors are from the lower district, how can they come to the stage?"

Martha's lips trembled with anger: "You...did it on purpose?"

At this time, Roy, who was sitting in the back, stood up and said, "I can withdraw this time and give my place to the Maren family."

Martha looked at Roy in surprise. He was very serious and didn't seem to be pretending to be modest. Those who could participate in the Star-picking Competition were the elites of each district. Even if they didn't win the honor, they would still gain a high reputation in the district. Now that Robert was old and the heir to the throne had not yet been chosen, the two princes were trying to win people's hearts and improve their reputations. Roy should seize the opportunity now. If he quit at this time, he would obviously suffer a great loss.

Martha thought again, is Roy trying to win her over? Impossible, everyone knew that her Maren family was on Roger's side, Martha's eldest daughter Mana was Roger's princess, so the Maren family and Roger were tied together, I really couldn't understand the meaning of Roy's move, but Roy's words gave him a way out.

Luo Tian couldn't help laughing secretly as he watched these noble families fighting and grabbing for the cake. It was like a pie falling from the sky. The nobles put the cake on the table and argued fiercely over how to distribute it, but they completely ignored the fact that the cake was not just for them. There were many people starving outside the door. It was just that the hungry people had no chance to get on the table.

Martha stood up and saluted Roy, saying, "Thank you Prince Roy for your generosity. The Maren family will not let you down."

Harvey also breathed a sigh of relief: "Rob, this time it's balanced and everyone is satisfied."

Rob bowed his head and said nothing. He took out a bottle of wine from his arms, unscrewed the cap, drank a few sips, and then asked: "The weather is getting colder, do you want to drink something to warm yourself up?"

No one responded, and the secret room fell into silence.

Luo Tian understood that Robert was not satisfied with this result. He deliberately changed the subject because he was thinking about how to deal with it. Obviously, the four major families were very satisfied with this arrangement, so no one raised any objections.

"I object!" Luo Tian stood up and said.

Roger had long disliked him and was worried that this guy would ruin his plans again, so he immediately stood up and said, "Why do you object? Are you qualified to object? You don't even know what the Star-Pickling Competition is!"

Luo Tian ignored Roger and continued, "What father meant just now is that he hopes to select the best from the best and show the strength of our Uranus City. Since all the families want to send people to participate, why don't we have a selection competition? We can really fight with our strength and combat power. In this way, the people we select will be reliable, instead of just looking at their background and identity."

Robert's eyes lit up, he put down the bottle and said, "This idea is interesting, a selection competition, survival of the fittest, what do you think?

Harvey said, "We are all nobles. It's not good to fight for a few places in Kaiyuan, right?"

Rubin shouted at the top of his voice: "I think it's fine. This is fairer. I agree!"

Martha waved her fan and said, "Of course you agree. When it comes to fighting, no one is better than your family. We are all girls in our family, so it is definitely not possible, so I am against it!"

Luo Tian continued, "Aunt Martha, you can send warriors to participate. This time, the selection competition can be announced in Uranus City, and anyone is eligible to sign up. The competition can be divided into preliminary rounds, semi-finals and finals. In the end, the four strongest people will be selected to represent our Uranus City in the Star Picking Competition, so every family has a chance."
