The material store manager was willing to give a good account to a potential big client like Yan Yu: "This is an entertainment competition organized by Lord Lucibi specifically for the VIP members of his various hotels, restaurants, cafes and other stores."
"There are individual and team competitions, divided into three stages. The top three in each stage will be determined and receive real-time prizes. Finally, the audience and judges will select the overall champion, runner-up, and third place winner based on the individual and team performances over the three stages."
Yan Yu frowned unconsciously: "Audience?"
"Yes, the entire game is broadcast live."
The store manager seemed to see Yan Yu's concerns and added, "Of course, if contestants don't want to reveal their true personal information, the organizers will provide corresponding camouflage props. Even advanced detection skills will not be able to detect it. The privacy of members is absolutely guaranteed."
Hearing this, Yan Yu was somewhat moved.
Anyway, it takes a month to enter the dungeon in the player city, so why not try participating? Maybe you can get some unexpected gains.
"If you want to register, please do so early. I think today is the last day to register."
Upon hearing this, Yan Yu immediately put away the frost grass, said goodbye to the material store manager, and returned to the Lucibi Hotel.
I don’t know if it’s because enemies meet on a narrow road, but as soon as I walked in, I happened to see the receptionist Mia who looked unhappy.
Mia had just been reprimanded by the store manager of the branch because a customer had reported her. It went without saying that it must have been Yan Yu who did it!
She secretly glared at Yan Yu several times, but only dared to vent her anger by slamming the table.
There was no way. Yan Yu was still a guest of the hotel. If she offended her again and was reported again, the manager would not just deduct some salary, give her a lecture and let her off like he did today.
Who made her so unlucky? She offended the wife of a shareholder, and as a result, not only was she demoted, but she was also thrown under the most strict and old-fashioned branch manager. It was really terrible.
Seeing Mia's frustrated look, Yan Yu felt much better. It seemed that her report did have some effect.
Yan Yu walked to the front desk and tapped the table lightly with her index finger: "Where's Xiaohui? Why didn't I see her today?"
"The manager sent her out to buy some things. She'll be back soon." Mia forced a smile, glanced up at the surveillance camera, and said through gritted teeth, "If you have any problems, it's the same if you tell me."
Yan Yu half-lowered her eyelashes in understanding, as if she was measuring the sincerity in Mia's words.
She paused for a long time on purpose, until Mia felt her face was almost frozen, and then waited for Yan Yu to speak slowly: "Actually, I don't have anything to do, I just want to inquire about the entertainment competition you are going to hold."
Mia was particularly impatient. She rubbed her sore cheeks and said perfunctorily, "You are not a member of our Lucibi Hotel. I'm sorry I can't tell you."
The subtext is: Poor guy, if you don’t have money to become a member, don’t ask around, and I won’t tell you even if you ask.
Yan Yu looked at Mia deeply and shrugged: "Okay, then I'll ask Xiaohui when she comes back."
After she finished speaking, she went straight back to her room.
She doesn't have time to waste on an insignificant person like Mia. Even if she becomes a member, she can't let Mia earn the commission.
Yan Yu returned to the room and drank a glass of pear juice first. After receiving the [Agility +1] prompt, she went to the gym to start exercising.
Yesterday she worked out for three hours, gaining [Strength +1] and [Constitution +2]. She's full of energy today and plans to exercise for four or five hours.
You should know that these exercise times can be converted into real permanent attribute bonuses, so you must not miss any opportunity to make the most of them.
After Yan Yu had exercised for two hours, Xiaohui knocked on her door with lunch.
"Come in."
Xiao Hui walked in with a smile on her face. She first placed the delicious food neatly on the table, then took the initiative to hand a towel to Yan Yu. Then she asked, "Mia said you have something to talk to me about?"
"Oh, that's right. I want to sign up for your competition. I'm wondering what the specific competition system and rewards are like?"
Yan Yu took the towel, wiped the sweat from her neck and cheeks, and sat down at the dining table.
Xiaohui considerately poured her an iced drink. "Our 'Lucib Member Grand Prix' is a competition exclusively for VIP members, held annually. While it's a recreational competition, the procedures are rigorous and formal, and the judging panel is comprised of renowned figures from the major survival game rankings. The entire event is live-streamed to ensure absolute fairness."
Yan Yu interrupted Xiao Hui and asked, "Rankings?"
Xiaohui: "Blue Star players only become available after they've completed one novice dungeon, and only after the second dungeon do they unlock rankings like level, equipment, wealth, and guild. As for the overall ranking of all players in the survival game, it won't be officially available to you until one of you Blue Star players reaches the top 100 on any of the overall rankings."
Yan Yu held her chin with one hand, secretly pondering the Blue Star rankings and the overall rankings that Xiaohui mentioned, then nodded for her to continue.
"The competition is divided into three stages, each lasting three days, with a month's interval between stages. After each stage, the champion, runner-up, and third-place winners will receive generous rewards, such as high-level equipment, medicine, rare equipment blueprints, and skill books. The fourth to tenth place finishers will also receive encouragement prizes of 1-100 gold coins, making it very worthwhile to participate."
"The competition is divided into two types: individual and team. The individual competition is self-explanatory. The team competition requires 3-5 participants. As long as the captain is a member of a Lucibi-affiliated company, there are no mandatory requirements for the other team members."
After thinking for a moment, Xiao Hui winked at Yan Yu and said, "If you want to participate, I can help you find a team that's not full, and you can go along for a spin."
Xiaohui obviously did not think that Yan Yu had the ability to become a member now. After all, Yan Yu had just passed a novice copy. Even Lusibi, the number one warrior and boss of their Lunasi star, had not saved up a huge fortune of 1,000 gold coins after the first copy.
Just now when Mia notified her to come up, she had no intention of concealing her contempt for Yan Yu in her eyes. Her words were all about how Yan Yu was a "poor but wealthy person" and she even laughed at her for trying to please the wrong person and said it was so annoying.
She was just following the hotel's rules and regulations - smiling and welcoming, but why did it all taste so different in Mia's mouth?
Mia hasn't even cleaned up her own mess and doesn't know how to keep a low profile. She really thinks she has some shareholder backing her up. She's really clueless.
Yan Yu shook her head and rejected Xiao Hui's proposal. After learning a lot of information about the competition and the privacy policy from her, she said casually, "Please help me open a membership."
When Xiaohui heard Yan Yu's words, her eyes suddenly widened, thinking that there was something wrong with her ears. After confirming again and again, she took Yan Yu downstairs with a light step.
Xiaohui walked to the hotel front desk in a daze, and took out a gold card and handed it to Yan Yu in a daze.
Mia, who was standing nearby, noticed that something was wrong with Xiaohui and quickly grabbed her arm. "What's wrong with you? Are you being controlled by her skills? This is a very valuable gold card, how can you just give it to someone else?"
After saying this, he pointed a suspicious look at Yan Yu. "We have surveillance here. Even if you managed to cheat your way into the gold card, you won't actually become a member here. Not only that, you will be held accountable by the Lucibi Group and listed as a prohibited customer. The consequences are very serious."
Mia's righteous words completely awakened Xiaohui.
"It's not what you think!" Xiao Hui smiled at Yan Yu reassuringly, then turned and briefly explained to Mia, "Ms. Yan paid 1,000 gold coins to become a member."
Mia was so shocked that her head was dizzy, her jaw almost dropped, and she looked stupid.
"No, it's impossible... There must be some mistake. Where did she get so much money?"
However, the other two people present ignored her mumbling. Instead, one opened a card and the other collected one, and then discussed the registration matters as if no one else was around.
Xiaohui helped Yan Yu fill in her personal information. This time, Yan Yu used disguise to change her talent from D level to A level.
After all, you are going to participate in the competition. If you hide your abilities too much, you might be eliminated in the preliminary round.
The entire competition is broadcast live, and the support of the audience is equally important. Everyone likes people with strong talents or skills, so that they have a hope of winning the championship.
During the live broadcast, viewers can legally place bets to support their favorite teams or individuals.
If the audience support rate is low, it will also be eliminated.
Xiaohui: "Oh, sorry, the individual competition is full. Now only the team competition is available."
"Ms. Yan, do you want to form your own team or be randomly matched? If you want to form your own team, you'll have to hurry up. Registration will close in six hours, and the competition will officially start at 9:00 AM tomorrow."
Yan Yu thought about it and realized that if she wanted to form a team herself, she would need at least two people, which would not be easy to find in a short time.
Even if you hire two people temporarily, their character is unknown and they are not cooperative. If you have too much contact with them, there is a risk of being exposed.
In this case, it would be better to randomly match a team.
Anyway, she didn't have the intention to win the championship. She participated in the competition for entertainment and to get close to the players from other planets and get a general understanding of their information.
As the saying goes, knowing yourself and your enemy ensures victory in a hundred battles. If there are any city wars or planetary wars in the future, we can just consider it as gathering intelligence in advance.
With the current level of the Blue Star players, it will take at least two or three copies before they can come into contact with players from other planets. This is a very good opportunity.
Thinking of this, Yan Yu made a decision: "Let's match randomly."
Xiao Hui nodded in agreement and put Yan Yu's personal information card into the random matching card pool. "Okay, I will take you to the hotel's teleportation array on time at 8:30 tomorrow. You will reach the competition hall through the teleportation array and then find your matched teammates."
Yan Yu made an "OK" gesture, took the gold card and prepared to return to the room for lunch.
At this moment, Mia, who saw that the matter was settled, suddenly exclaimed. After reacting, she quickly took out the fan from the drawer, ran to Yan Yu with her skirt lifted up, and fanned her with a flattering smile.
"Miss Yan, let me fan you. You look sweaty. Xiaohui is really a fool. How could she let Miss Yan get so hot?"
Yan Yu put her finger on the end of the fan and looked at Mia with a smile: "No need, I want to go back to my room, please don't disturb me."
"Then would you like me to make you two smoothies? My smoothies are really delicious, and other guests all praise them..."
Mia still didn't give up.
She didn't expect that Xiaohui, that damn girl, would get the chance to apply for a membership card. For the first time, she hated her own shortsightedness.
A membership card can bring a commission of 70 gold coins, which is equivalent to their three or four months' salary!
She has no chance of getting the membership card this time, but she must build a good relationship with Yan Yu so that she can have a share of the profits when the membership is renewed in the future!
Yan Yu performed a smile-disappearing trick, her eyes darkening. "Wasn't my meaning clear enough? Then let me be even more clear. I don't need any of your services. If I see you wandering around me again, I'll report you immediately."
From the very beginning, Mia left a very bad impression on Yan Yu. Now that she sees that Yan Yu is rich, she is eager to get close to her. Who gave her such a bold face?
Do you really think she has a good temper?
Mia was frightened by Yan Yu's aura and stood there stammering. She could only watch her go upstairs with regret and annoyance.
If she had known this would happen, she should have sewed her mouth shut so that it would stop talking nonsense and causing trouble!
