Chapter 16 We're Here Now

She classified Jiang Ning as one of the same kind as her, all of whom came to participate in this kind of competition to stimulate the awakening of their superpowers. Otherwise, it was impossible that Jiang Ning came for the 5,000 star coins in the promotion.

Jiang Ning was embarrassed for a moment, knowing that Ke Lai had misunderstood.

She really came here purely for the 5,000 prize money.

Now that she heard that the winner had already been selected, her interest in the next competition was immediately reduced by more than half.

But there was only one hour left to the destination, Aurora Star. Even if she wanted to return, she had to wait for the next interstellar flight after landing.

Forget it, since she was here,

she might as well go to another planet to see the world.

An hour and a half later.

The spaceship successfully landed at the Aurora Star Airport.

As soon as he got off the spaceship, Jiang Ning felt the fresh air blowing on his face. There is a huge

difference between Aurora and M412. The environment here is beautiful, the vegetation is lush, and it looks like an oasis from a distance.

"Is it not polluted here? It looks much better than M412." Jiang Ning and Ke Lai walked on the commercial street below the airport.

Ke Lai tilted his head and explained, "Aurora is a famous tourist star. The environment on our M412 star is certainly incomparable to that of others."

Jiang Ning looked at the passers-by. She was just wondering why these people came to participate in the competition with so many bags. It turned out that they were here for vacation.

"The Aurora Star used to have a similar environment to our M412 Star. After the Yuanxia Group bought this planet, it spent a lot of money to transform it into its current appearance." After that, Ke Lai added: "The Yuanxia Group is the property of the Si family."

"The Si family is?" Jiang Ning asked.

"You don't know the Si family?" Ke Lai was shocked.

Ke Lai: "The richest family in the entire star."

Jiang Ning shook her head.

She was busy taking care of her small farm and thinking about how to make money every day, and she never paid attention to this kind of economic gossip.

Ke Lai was eager to share gossip: "I heard that the previous heirs of the Si family died unexpectedly a while ago. All their property was left to their only son. When he comes of age, the power of the Yuanxia Group will be handed over to him."

"It's really frustrating to compare yourself to others. Some people have become billionaires at the age of twelve, while others are still thinking about it at the age of twelve..." Ke Lai's emotions changed quickly. In the last second, he was still resentful of the gap between people, and in the next second, he blinked his big eyes and asked: "What are you going to eat later?"

"..."

"Nutrient solution." Jiang Ning blurted out.

In her recipe, only nutrient solution is the cheapest.

"No way, you finally came to Aurora Star, and you only drink nutrient solution?" Ke Lai looked at her strangely.

Jiang Ning took the complaining Ke Lai to a random restaurant, pointed at the prices of the dishes on the promotional board and said, "I'm poor."

Ke Lai looked at the prices carefully: "Stir-fried choy sum for 866 Star Coins? Two slices of freshly toasted bread for 699 Star Coins? A glass of special lemonade for 499 Star Coins?"

Ke Lai: "It's so expensive! Why doesn't he go grab it!"

This price is more than double the market price.

"Miss Ke Lai, if you want to eat, you should go alone." Jiang Ning forced a fake smile.

Ke Lai scratched her face: "Well... I think drinking nutrient solution is also good."

She ran away without telling her parents, and she didn't bring much money with her.

The two were going to take the suspended bus to Mount Dora, but they found out that the bus cost 28 star coins per trip, while their M412 only charged 4 star coins per person.

In order to save money, Jiang Ning decided to walk there. Ke Lai originally wanted to exercise herself, so she decided to walk with Jiang Ning. Fortunately, the airport was only two hours away from Mount Dora.

"Tsk, it's too expensive!"

The two walked all the way to the foot of Mount Dora. The only thing missing was the air conditioning, and everything else had to be paid for.

Sure enough, things in tourist attractions are not cheap in any era!

In the center of the semicircular Piazza Roma stands a suspended cubic screen, and at this time, the screen is scrolling and playing the promotional information of this competition.

Jiang Ning stopped and looked at the logo on the cubic screen.

"What's the matter?" Ke Lai asked.

"That logo looks familiar." Jiang Ning looked up and stared at the cubic screen.

Ke Lai looked in the direction of Jiang Ning's eyes and said, "That's the logo of the Yuanxia Group. Yuanxia's industries are all over the stars. You must be familiar with it."

No, Jiang Ning shook her head. She definitely didn't see this logo on a certain product. Where did she see it?

A figure suddenly flashed through Jiang Ning's mind, the butler!

This logo was printed on his cuffs and on his aircraft.

So the rich young man who crashed into her house was actually the young heir of the Si family?

Good guy.

This is not just a rich second generation, but a rich second generation among rich second generations!

Jiang Ning and Ke Lai walked into the square.

The competition will not start until tomorrow, and at this time the center of the Roman Forum is full of small vendors selling peripherals and food.

The two walked to the official office of Xinghuo Qianqian, registered their registration information, received a detailed information of the competition and left.

The two found the cheapest hotel nearby and barely shared a room.

Even so, it cost her 300 star coins to stay in the hotel for one night.

Jiang Ning was heartbroken.

300 star coins!

Enough to buy one and a half kilograms of planting soil.

Fortunately, after entering the competition venue tomorrow, there will be no need to spend money.

The environment on Aurora is nothing to say. Even the worst hotel, the room size and service are better than those on ordinary planets.

Jiang Ning lay on the soft mattress with an expression of enjoyment.

Needless to say, this 600-a-night bed is much more comfortable than the one in her house.

It feels like lying on cotton, soft and gentle.

The fragrance in the room had a soothing effect, and the two fell asleep quickly.

......

"Knock knock knock--"

"Hello, guest, I'm the wake-up call you reserved, it's seven in the morning now."

The next morning, the hotel attendant knocked on the two's door.

In order to prevent oversleeping, the two booked a wake-up call at seven this morning at the hotel last night.

Jiang Ning and Ke Lai glanced at the time, quickly got up, packed themselves up, and went through the check-out procedures.

Sparks rushed forward. The competition started at eight in the morning, and the contestants had to arrive there half an hour in advance. The time was just right for them to rush from the hotel.

Mount Dora, Piazza Roma.

When the two arrived, the steps on the outer circle of the square were already crowded with people. Looking around, there were only heads.

The venue was surrounded by a circle, with only two entrances and exits, one for the audience and the other for the contestants.

Jiang Ning and Ke Lai stood at the end of the team.

Because there was no age limit, the heights of the contestants varied.

Jiang Ning roughly scanned the area and found that most of the contestants were teenagers, with a few adults occasionally among the children.

In the last thirty minutes, a system prompt sounded in the broadcast of the contestants: [Attention all contestants, the entrance is now open. When entering, please take the materials and fire for this competition from the staff at the entrance in turn.]

After the broadcast ended, the team began to move slowly.

When it was Jiang Ning's turn, she realized that the materials mentioned in the broadcast were 10 bottles of nutrient solution.

She took the nutrient solution from the staff, and then took a thumb-sized flame from the box in front of her.

The staff introduced her how to use the fire. Simply put, when she encounters danger, she should crush it hard, and the staff will be able to feel the signal of the fire and help her out.

She took a waist bag from another staff member and put all the fire and nutrient solution into the waist bag.

As soon as I walked in, I heard other contestants complaining: "Only 10 bottles of nutrient solution, this is too little, we have to stay in there for a month, even if we drink one bottle a day, it will only be enough for 10 days, the organizing committee is too stingy."

"That's right, we are not allowed to bring our own food, they are going to let us starve to death in there!"

Jiang Ning glanced at the judges. The scarcity of food to some extent shows that the organizing committee is encouraging vicious competition among the contestants.

There is a rule in the rules: once the fire is extinguished, the contestant is judged to be out.

But it does not say that it does not count if it is extinguished by others.

Jiang Ning was thinking, and the next second she felt a chill on her back. She looked up and saw a muscular man with a strong physique staring at her.

He snorted coldly and said to the people beside him: "What are you afraid of? Go and rob others after you finish drinking. There are so many brats on the field. It's not certain whether they can last for 10 days. It's a waste to give them."

When he said this, his eyes kept scanning Jiang Ning and Ke Lai.

Among this group of people, she and Ke Lai are the youngest. It

was the first time for Ke Lai to participate in such an exciting competition. She couldn't bear the excitement and looked around curiously.

As the muscular man said this, more and more eyes were staring at the two of them. Even Ke Lai, who had a slow reaction arc, felt it.

"Friends of the audience!"

Suddenly, a circular suspended platform carrying a person flew into the competition site.

Everyone, including the spectators around, quieted down and looked at him quietly.

"Hello everyone, I am the host of this Starfire Forward competition. I am Ajin, Jin Jiu." He held a microphone in his hand and flew in circles above the venue on a suspended aircraft.

"Ajin! Ajin! Ajin!"

After he introduced himself, thunderous screams suddenly broke out from the audience.

Jin Jiu is a well-known commentator blogger on Starnet. I didn't expect that Starfire Forward would invite him to be the host of the competition!

Jin Jiu enjoyed the atmosphere of being surrounded by people. He waved his hands: "Come on, applause!"

"Ajin! Ajin! Ajin!"

There was another round of thunderous shouts from the audience.

Jin Jiu: "I feel everyone's enthusiasm. Please pay attention now. The first Spark Forward is about to begin. After the countdown, 300 contestants will be randomly placed in the wetland, rainforest and desert areas. The contestants need to collect the Spark Stamps of the three areas, a total of 9, including 3 wetland Spark Stamps, 3 rainforest Spark Stamps, and 3 desert Spark Stamps. After the contestants have collected all 9 Spark Stamps, Then you can go to the middle area and compete for the final winner. "

Jin Jiu: "The difficulty of the three areas is equal. In order to ensure fairness and justice, the competition will be broadcast live throughout the whole process. I will explain the situation of the contestants to everyone."

Offstage, Ke Lai lowered his voice and complained to Jiang Ning: "You talk so high-soundingly, but in fact the champion has been decided long ago, and we are just foils."

Jiang Ning didn't think Ke Lai had anything to do with the gossip.

But the others present were unaware of it, and they all rushed to win the championship with full confidence.

[Ten, nine, eight, seven...]

In the radio, the machine was playing the countdown.

Jiang Ning felt a movement under her feet.

The next second, a green light screen was shrouded around her.
