Chapter 206 Colorful Clothes
Shan Gu, the idiot, felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong, but he was very confused. Why was it like this? What happened? Why was he unhappy for no reason?
And why did Lao Liu suddenly apologize?
Caiyi just found out that Lao Liu would not be on stage in the future and would completely transform behind the scenes.
Why did he suddenly get upset now?
She was not like this before!
Ji Caiyi looked at Liu Zhiyuan with a layer of mist in her eyes, and then smiled self-deprecatingly: "I am being unreasonable, right?"
"But..." Shan Gu was about to speak, but Bai Muye, who was beside him, stretched out his hand expressionlessly and covered his mouth.
Then, Bai Muye withdrew his hand as if nothing had happened, took out a piece of paper from his pocket, and wiped it carefully and seriously.
Shan Gu looked at Bai Muye with a frown on his face.
Bai Muye glanced at him.
He didn't say anything, but they had been together for so long, so Shan Gu could naturally see that he was asking him to shut up.
He looked at Bai Muye: Why?
Bai Muye pouted.
Liu Zhiyuan shook his head: "There is no such thing as unreasonable trouble. It's my fault."
"Okay, it's no big deal. Caiyi is just touched. After all, this is a real competition. She still hopes that you can appear on the field and enjoy the glory after the victory with everyone. Instead of talking to reporters and saying that you will not play in the future." Bai Muye said.
Liu Zhiyuan nodded: "I understand, but I am more suitable to be a nanny for you."
Bai Muye glanced at him.
Liu Zhiyuan smiled and said: "And I like to face those media. As long as you keep winning, I will always have a share of this glory!"
"But that's different." Ji Caiyi finally couldn't help it, and tears slid down her eyes.
She was born in a big family since she was a child, and it's not that she can't understand these things.
But every time she thought of her father being busy all day, her mother being busier than her father, and all she saw when she came home all day were the nannies and servants, she felt very sad.
She didn't like this!
She hoped to fight side by side with the person she loved, whether she won or lost, she didn't care.
If they lost, they would be sad together, cry together, and then summarize the experience of failure, learn lessons and start over!
If they won, they would cheer and celebrate together. Then remind themselves not to be proud, keep working hard to reach new heights, and strive for one championship trophy after another...
That kind of scene, just thinking about it makes people excited and excited!
Why must we choose another way?
She could understand Liu Zhiyuan's choice, but she couldn't really agree with it.
Just as Bai Muye said, she was indeed touched. When winning a competition of this scale, the excitement and excitement in everyone's hearts is hard to express in words.
At this time, what she wanted most was naturally to be able to stand with the person she loved.
But at that time, that person was standing in the interview area, facing a large number of cameras with a calm face and a cheerful chat.
This was not the scene she wanted to see.
Bai Muye glanced at everyone, then said to Shan Gu and Si Yin: "Let's go, the three of us go out for a walk."
Shan Gu and Si Yin nodded.
Bai Muye said to Liu Zhiyuan and Ji Caiyi: "Is it enough for you to have an hour?"
Shan Gu: "Too long, right? Is Lao Liu okay?"
Bang!
Bai Muye hit him with his hand: "You are the only one who talks too much!"
Shan Gu rubbed his head and muttered: "You messed up my hair!"
Si Yin felt the same way. The behavior of messing up other people's hair casually is the worst!
Bai Muye glanced at her.
Si Yin jumped behind Shan Gu and looked at Bai Muye with a vigilant look.
Ji Caiyi couldn't help but laugh, with tears in her eyes.
Liu Zhiyuan glared at Shan Gu: "Get lost!"
Shan Gu: "..."
After leaving, Shan Gu was still muttering: "Brother Bai, is this necessary? They didn't really have any problems..."
Si Yin didn't feel anything about these things. Although she was already sixteen years old, she was still like a cute loli.
She was overprotected since she was a child, so although she would be aware of such things, she was mostly confused and at a loss.
"I don't really understand these things about feelings." Bai Muye shook his head and said, "But I know that there must be some differences between them. Some things are not shown in front of us, but it doesn't mean that they don't exist."
Shan Gu scratched his head and sighed: "Emotional matters are really complicated! I decided to be single!"
Si Yin looked at him and whispered: "Can't find it?"
Shan Gu glanced at Si Yin's hair.
Si Yin ran away quickly and made a face at Shan Gu, "Level 6 little warrior, you can't catch up with me!"
Lilililil.
Shan Gu: ...
The three of them took the elevator down to the first floor and watched the people coming and going outside. They looked at each other.
"Brother Xiaobai, why don't we go to the talisman supplies store? A big city like Baiyue must have more talisman materials, right?" Si Yin suggested.
A pair of bright eyes looked at Bai Muye.
"You want to go shopping yourself, right?" Shan Gu asked.
Si Yin rolled his eyes at him: "Are you going or not?"
"Yes, of course!" Shan Gu laughed and said: "I'll call a taxi!"
In Bai Muye's suite.
Ji Caiyi and Liu Zhiyuan sat on the sofa in silence.
After a long while, Ji Caiyi whispered, "You can fool them, but you can't fool me. You are obviously gifted..."
"I knew my mother was not happy since I was very young." Liu Zhiyuan seemed to be answering a question that was not relevant. He sat there and whispered, "Although she and my father love each other."
"But she is not happy. Over the years, although she always maintains the kindness and smile of a mother when facing me, she often cries secretly in private. I have seen it many times before. When I asked her what was wrong, she would always find various reasons to prevaricate me..."
"Later, as I grew up, I began to understand the reason why she was unhappy. It was my father who was looked down upon by my grandfather's family. They thought he was not worthy of my mother."
Liu Zhiyuan smiled bitterly, "I naively thought that it was enough for the family to be together happily. Why should we care about other people's views? If they don't like it, who are they? At first, my mother never refuted my point of view until she found that there seemed to be signs of that between the two of us. So, from that time on, she began to hope that I could come out. "Becoming a powerful warrior, isn't it considered being successful?" Liu Zhiyuan shook his head gently: "In my grandfather's family, there are more than a dozen master-level spiritual warriors, and two great masters, but those people are not in key positions. In other words, their status in my grandfather's family is not the highest. Just like the Song family behind your mother, the one with the strongest combat power is definitely not the one with the highest status. " "Status... is it really that important?" Ji Caiyi looked at Liu Zhiyuan with some disappointment: "I understand your thoughts, and I understand what you said. I won't be like an ignorant little girl and say that I don't care about this, as long as there is emotion... I won't be like this. But what I want to say is that a powerful spiritual warrior, even if he can't be in a high position, must be respected! " She looked at Liu Zhiyuan sincerely: "We now have Xiaobai, and you know Xiaobai's true strength... In my opinion, no high-level talisman master will be his opponent. " Liu Zhiyuan nodded. "So he can definitely lead us all the way to the finals of the Feixian League, and even in the future, it is not a dream to reach the finals of the Empire League! You are the captain of the team. You are on the court and you are not on the court. Those are two different concepts. Do you understand?"
Liu Zhiyuan nodded again: "I understand. That's why I made this choice now."
"You can use Xiaobai's strength and the team's achievements to increase your personal influence, right?" Ji Caiyi said softly.
Liu Zhiyuan was silent for a moment and nodded: "This is my selfish desire."
"It can't be changed, right?" Ji Caiyi looked at him.
"I promised my mother that I would take that path. And I also want to take that path." Liu Zhiyuan whispered, "I don't want what happened to my mother to happen to us again in the future."
Ji Caiyi smiled, "That kind of thing will not happen to us! My mother hopes that I can marry an excellent person in the future, but she respects my wishes very much. There are some things you don't know..."
Ji Caiyi hesitated and shook her head, "Forget it, let's not talk about this..."
"Caiyi, if I only take the path of a spiritual warrior, this kind of thing will definitely happen to us in the future." Liu Zhiyuan looked at Ji Caiyi, "I see this more clearly than you!"
"Okay, I can't persuade you." Ji Caiyi leaned on the sofa and sighed softly.
Liu Zhiyuan stood up and sat next to Ji Caiyi. He stretched out a hand and gently placed it on Ji Caiyi's shoulder. He said softly, "Caiyi, I really like you. One day, you will understand why I do this. You are still very young now. You don't need to bear this with me. You just need to be yourself, okay?"
Ji Caiyi gently leaned her head on Liu Zhiyuan's shoulder and said softly, "You should understand Xiaobai's future plans, right?"
"I know." Liu Zhiyuan nodded.
"He wants to take us to Feida." Ji Caiyi said, "What about you? Will you choose to go to Feida?"
Liu Zhiyuan hesitated, but still shook his head, "No, I have always had only one goal, which is the First Academy."
Ji Caiyi: "So..."
Liu Zhiyuan: "So, if the love between two people lasts for a long time, why should we be together day and night?"
Ji Caiyi smiled helplessly, chose a more comfortable position, leaned on Liu Zhiyuan's shoulder, and slowly closed her eyes.
"I'm tired, let me sleep on you for a while."
"Okay, I can sleep until the end of time."
The largest talisman store in Baiyue City.
Shan Gu walked in front, looking here and there, looking like a country bumpkin entering the city.
"Wow, Brother Bai, look, it's the feather pen of the golden eagle!"
"Oh my god... There are actually master-level beast skins here, damn, 350 million? This is used to make talisman paper? Grandmaster-level..."
Shan Gu wanted to say, didn't we kill it before? Why is it so valuable?
But here, he stopped showing off.
"Uh, this... 1 billion? Are you sure you didn't write an extra zero?" Shan Gu stared at a bottle of blood of unknown substance, with a shocked look on his face.
Bai Muye looked at Shan Gu helplessly: "Those are very high-level talisman materials, almost top-level. Don't make a fuss. We can't afford them anyway..."
Shan Gu rolled his eyes and thought that we really couldn't afford them, but Brother Bai, you are... too modest.
Si Yin followed Bai Muye quietly and asked softly: "Brother Bai, don't you want to buy some?"
"Well, I'll take a look first." Bai Muye nodded.
The talisman supplies store in the first-level main city really opened his eyes. Many materials that were impossible to buy in the past were actually available here.
Ordinary, attribute, rare... everything is available.
Good talisman materials are extremely expensive, but for a real talisman master, he only has needs and needs in his eyes. As for the price?
What is that?
Who cares.
Just like one of the treasures of the town store here-
A piece of beast skin of the Grandmaster level, with fire attribute, which can carry the talisman technique of the Grandmaster or even the God level!
Absolutely super-quality talisman materials!
Bai Muye was very jealous, but he didn't even ask about the price.
Because he didn't need this kind of thing for the time being.
There are also many talisman papers, which are expensive because they can carry the talisman techniques of the Grandmaster level.
But Xiaobai doesn't need these materials now.
Like the high-level talisman papers he used before, they can only carry the mental power of the high-level talisman master at most.
So the talismans he drew, although they are called Grandmaster level, in fact, the power contained in them has only reached the high-level level.
Because if it is higher, the talisman paper can't carry it!
Even in the Black Domain, it is the same.
The real Grandmaster-level materials, his Black Domain coins are not enough for anything.
Except for the time when all materials were provided free of charge in the Giant City Trial Field, Bai Muye actually drew some real Grandmaster-level talismans.
But when used, the practicality is not high.
Because it consumes too much mental power!
In reality, if you want to make a Grandmaster-level talisman, you need materials.
The money he has now can buy some Grandmaster-level talisman materials.
But it is too easy to attract other people's attention!
When he was in Baihua City before, the video that was circulated almost made many people think that he was a high-level talisman master.
Fortunately, in that video, except for Zhu Da's question, there are not many things that can really reflect his strength.
Besides, talismans can also be bought, for example, they are sold here.
So even if someone doubts, there is no actual evidence.
But if he directly buys Grandmaster-level and high-level talisman materials here today... Once it is noticed and spread out in the future, it will definitely attract more suspicious eyes.
You can't use it, why buy it?
Stock up?
I have never seen anyone do this.
So Bai Muye just followed the rules and chose some materials that can only carry high-level talisman techniques at most, not showing off at all.
The key is practicality. The primary and low-grade talismans can still fight against the Grandmaster. The materials bought now are many times better than the original batch.
Just this, several hundred million were spent directly.
This way of spending money is really a bit scary.
But it didn't attract much attention. Everyone who came here to consume is similar.
Even the intermediate talisman master will try to buy better talisman paper.
After all, the better the materials, the easier it is to make high-quality talismans.
When I paid the bill and went out, I happened to meet a group of people face to face.
Bai Muye took Shan Gu and Si Yin to the side slightly, intending to make way for the other party.
Unexpectedly, a handsome young man on the other side suddenly blocked Bai Muye and looked him up and down: "Are you the one-second brother?"
One-second brother?
What life was this?
It's three seconds now, right?
Shan Gu frowned and said directly: "Who are you?"
"Haha, a young man pretending to be mature, with gray hair, you are the chatterbox Shan Gu, right?" The young man said, and then looked at Si Yin: "Are you the timid girl Si Yin? But you played well in today's game!"
Shan Gu looked at the man: "Are you our fan?"
"No, no, no, you misunderstood. I just studied our next opponent in advance." The boy said, and looked at Bai Muye again: "I have seen a recent video of yours. It is quite powerful. The teacher is not your opponent. I think the talisman you use... is of high level, right? How much did you buy it for?"
The boy spoke with a sarcastic tone.
Buy?
Bai Muye just smiled and looked at the other party and said: "Excuse me, I want to go out."
There is nothing to say to such a self-righteous guy. The best way is to beat him directly on the field.
You think the talisman I use is a bought finished product, then treat it as a bought finished product.
This is the best, saving me a lot of trouble!
However, for a talisman master, buying talismans to use... not only does it cost twice as much, but it also looks cheap.
The key is that it may not be applicable.
Just like another treasure of the store here-a master-level Wanjian Talisman!
It is called Ten Thousand Swords, but in reality, there are definitely not that many. At most, it can transform into a hundred or eighty swords, but this is already amazing.
Imagine that after this talisman is activated, there will be a rain of swords in the sky, stabbing down madly.
How many people can withstand this kind of master-level talisman attack?
Unfortunately, the mental power required to activate such a talisman is quite terrible.
Like the more than 40 points of mental power that Bai Muye has shown now, it is estimated that he can't even activate it.
To activate an offensive master-level talisman, at least more than 50 points of mental power are required.
However, the mental power required to activate a high-level talisman is not so terrible. A dozen points of mental power are enough to activate it once.
The problem is that after activation, you still have to control the talisman... The higher the level of the talisman, the greater the mental power consumption.
Just like the master-level Ten Thousand Swords Talisman, once a person with more than 100 points of mental power chooses to activate it, I am afraid that his mental power will be completely drained in two seconds!
Even a true master-level talisman master will not use that kind of talisman easily.
So it is not that junior and intermediate talisman masters cannot use advanced talismans beyond their level, but the key is that the cost is a bit high.
Even if it can replenish their mental power, most people will not easily choose to do so unless they have no choice.
Really smart talisman masters will basically choose different talismans according to the occasion.
Generally speaking, they all like to use the talismans with the least consumption in exchange for the greatest results.
Shan Gu looked at the other party coldly, as if he would start fighting if he disagreed.
It turned out to be the opponent of the next game, the team that Lao Liu had not finished introducing.
It is really a narrow road for enemies, but it is not a coincidence.
This is the largest talisman supplies store in Baiyue City. There is an intermediate talisman master with a mental power of 137 in the opponent's team. It is normal for him to come here to take a look during the break of the game.
It is estimated that the opponent's talisman master should be this guy who is a little handsome, but far inferior to Brother Bai?
He must be jealous of Brother Bai's beauty!
Trash!
If Brother Bai really unlocks the seal, you will be scared to death in a minute!
Even if he doesn't unlock it, you are no match for Brother Bai.
"If you don't like us, come to the arena if you have the guts. Good dogs don't block the road, get out of the way!" Shan Gu scolded coldly.
"You..." The handsome boy raised his eyebrows, but was pulled away by a tall man beside him.
The man smiled and said, "He's right. If you have the guts, come to the arena."
As he said that, he made way for Bai Muye and others.
Bai Muye nodded slightly at the man, and then went out directly.
When they went out, the handsome boy sneered, "What the hell? Beat the teacher in class, relying on a few money, buy a bunch of finished high-level talismans to show off, wipe... In two days, I will show his true colors!"
The tall man put his arm around his shoulders and smiled and said, "Let's go, let's buy a few high-level finished talismans, just in case."
The handsome boy "..."
Back to the hotel.
Bai Muye opened the door, but saw Ji Caiyi sleeping soundly on Liu Zhiyuan's shoulder.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, he opened his eyes and looked at it, his face slightly blushing.
Shan Gu shouted carelessly: "You didn't do anything?"
Ji Caiyi glared at Shan Gu fiercely.
Si Yin whispered on the side: "Is this Brother Xiaobai's room?"
Ji Caiyi exploded instantly, exerting her assassin skills to the extreme, rushing over and rubbing Si Yin's head desperately.
"Si Xiaoyin, haven't you been confused all the time? Why do you suddenly understand now?"
Si Yin finally broke free from Ji Caiyi's clutches, while tidying up her hair, she looked aggrieved: "Did I say something wrong?"
Liu Zhiyuan looked generous and smiled: "You are back? Let's continue!"
Shan Gu sat down on the single sofa, leaned back, and said: "We just met the opponent of the next game. Damn, the other side's talisman master is quite arrogant!"
"Oh? You met? What a coincidence?" Liu Zhiyuan was a little surprised, but then he said: "You went to the talisman supplies store, right?"
Bai Muye nodded: "Yes, many participating teams with talisman masters have also gone there."
"Well, it's not strange to meet there. I was just about to tell you that the other side's intermediate talisman master is very good at auxiliary talisman techniques, especially the means of controlling talismans, which can be called proficient."
"Is he as good as Brother Bai?" Shan Gu asked.
"You will know after watching the video." Liu Zhiyuan said, and directly opened a video.
In the video, the other side's talisman master controlled five or six talismans at the same time, and shot them at different people around him. The flight path of the talismans, including the accuracy of control, are all very good.
And this talisman master is indeed the handsome boy who just picked a fight in the talisman supplies store.
According to the information, he is 19 years old this year and a senior high school student.
"Damn, he is older than us, and he is still pretending to be young!" Shan Gu sneered.
Their team came from a third-level town called Yuanshan.
"I remember telling you before that according to the public information available, there are 37 high school students in Feixian who have a mental power of more than 100. Of course, I believe the specific number must be more than this. But this man named He Tianyu can be one of the 37 people on the surface, which is enough to prove his excellence."
Liu Zhiyuan looked at Bai Muye and said, "So in this game, if you continue to face them with 49 points of mental power, it may not be easy to play, unless you control them right away."
"Then just control them directly. What if you are exposed? There are videos before. Brother Bai's awesomeness is that they clearly know what Brother Bai is good at, but they can't avoid it, hahahaha." Shan Gu said excitedly.
But as he laughed, he found that no one was laughing, so his smile gradually disappeared, and he said awkwardly: "Captain, please continue."
"In addition, their level 8 spiritual warrior with a spiritual power of 262 is a powerful shield warrior."
"The remaining two level 7 people are all archers!"
"The opponent's ability to strike from a distance is quite strong, especially in terrain like the Grand Canyon that is easy to ambush, their power will be magnified!"
At this point, Liu Zhiyuan glanced at Shan Gu: "This is not a ring. The opponent is scattered and hiding. How can you control them as soon as you come up?"
Shan Gu rolled his eyes and muttered quietly: "Isn't that what you said, control them as soon as you come up..."
Old Liu ignored him and continued to divide the senior team, which is also one of the favorites to win the championship in our division this time. So, even though they come from a level 3 small city, their strength should not be underestimated. ”
“Now, let’s analyze each of their strengths and what formations and methods we should use…”
Ji Caiyi sat there in silence, quietly looking at Liu Zhiyuan with a serious expression.
A serious man is the most handsome!
So even if she still disagrees with Liu Zhiyuan’s choice in her heart, at this moment, she can only show respect and support.
Just like last night, when she talked about this with her mother.
What Song Xingyu said: “In the adult world, there are many uncertainties. If you want to be with someone, especially children from a family like ours, there may be more problems to face in the future. If you can’t mature yourself and take the initiative to overcome these difficulties, then… this is destined to be a first love that ends in vain… ”
So when she saw Liu Zhiyuan talking to the camera like a mature politician today, she was a little emotional.
Because this was not the same as the direction she wanted to work towards!
But after calming down, she understood that Liu Zhiyuan made this choice because he wanted to be with her.
Looking at Liu Zhiyuan who was analyzing seriously, Ji Caiyi suddenly felt that if things continued like this, maybe... it would be good?
