Those contrived and artificial tragic scenes seem pretentious even to outsiders, and are unlikely to gain the approval of the race track.
The number one on the list is Xia Lingjun, who is eighty-seven.
Second on the list is Zhao Ning, 86.
Third on the list is Li Tianguo, 85 years old.
Lin Yi couldn't help but smile; it was this old acquaintance again.
At that moment, Li Tianguo was at the entrance of the race track. As if sensing something, he turned his head and glanced at the crowd.
"Did I run into someone I know again?"
A woman in a tight-fitting outfit casually put her arm around his shoulder.
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, no one would have believed that such a tomboyish and carefree woman could be the eldest daughter of the Zhao family, a top-tier aristocratic family.
She is Zhao Ning, who is ranked second on the list.
Li Tianguo shook his head: "No, it might just be my imagination."
Zhao Ning chuckled: "I heard you've been getting quite close to Cao Luoshen lately. That arrogant guy, you actually hang out with him?"
In the elite second-generation circles, Cao Luoshen is known for his arrogance. Apart from a few with powerful backgrounds who dare to talk back, most people don't even dare to speak to him.
Li Tianguo laughed and said, "Brother Cao is a bit arrogant, but he's a good person and not that scheming."
Zhao Ning immediately leaned back: "You clicked on me?"
Li Tianguo was both amused and exasperated: "You're just like him, you should be able to get along well."
"Forget it, I don't want to look at his nostrils."
Zhao Ning waved his hand.
Just then, a gentle voice came from behind them: "What are you two talking about?"
Both of them composed themselves simultaneously.
Li Tianguo smiled and turned to greet him, "Brother Xia, it's been a long time."
The newcomer was a man of gentle and refined manners; he was none other than Xia Lingjun, the number one on the list and the youngest yet most favored second-generation heir of the Xia family.
As a once dominant family in Tianjun County, the Xia family has fallen into decline, but even a weakened camel is bigger than a horse, and it still retains the essence of a first-class family.
However, as a once-powerful family that was declining, the atmosphere within the family was inevitably heavy and oppressive.
Even the Xia family members possess a unique aura.
Just like Xia Lingjun in front of us, she seems gentle and easy to get along with, but wherever she goes, she always makes the atmosphere inexplicably somber and heavy.
"What a spoilsport."
Zhao Ning made no attempt to hide her disdain and turned her head away.
A shadow crossed Xia Lingjun's eyes, and she gave a self-deprecating smile: "If you two don't welcome me, I'll just walk away."
Li Tianguo smiled and shook his head: "Brother Xia, what are you saying? Besides, you're number one here, how could we not welcome you?"
At the same time, he tugged at Zhao Ning.
Although Zhao Ning was reluctant, the circle of top second-generation elites was only so small, and they would run into each other again. So he could only force a smile and say, "Alright, I'll also listen to the top-ranked person's insight and learn something."
Xia Lingjun smiled faintly and said, "Miss Zhao, you flatter me. We can all learn from each other."
Zhao Ning subtly curled her lip.
Similar conversations had happened more than once before. She and Li Tianguo were always open and honest with each other, sharing whatever experiences or insights they had gained.
In contrast, Xia Lingjun speaks eloquently, but what she says is nothing but correct but meaningless platitudes, utterly worthless.
Is it possible for someone to be ranked number one on the list to not be able to say anything of substance?
The key point is not just this time, but almost every time in the past it has been like this.
Whenever it comes to important opportunities, Xia Lingjun is always incredibly humble and amiable on the surface, but in reality, she is always trying to get things from others while keeping her own secrets tightly under her belt.
In fact, not only Xia Lingjun, but all the second-generation members of the Xia family have this problem to some extent.
Li Tianguo and his companion were already used to this.
The reason is simple: although the Xia family is still a first-class family, as a declining family on the decline, its top-level resources are far less abundant than those of other first-class families.
Every opportunity must be seized and fought for.
Especially the God Shards that are the rewards for finishing the race are extremely important and absolutely cannot be missed.
Xia Lingjun's behavior was understandable.
To put it bluntly, for Li Tianguo and Zhao Ning, ending the race would be the best outcome, but not being able to is not a big deal. However, for Xia Lingjun, this might be her lifeline.
However, while I can understand, it's still hard not to feel uncomfortable around these kinds of people.
Even someone as sociable as Li Tianguo carried a certain degree of distance.
As always, Xia Lingjun tried to extract track experience from the two of them, as they were his biggest competitors.
If he can suppress these two, the martial arts competition will be his for the taking.
Lin Yi entered the track.
The sandbox appeared, and a character named Wumu was created directly.
"The shame of Jingkang is etched into our bones; as youths, we tattooed words on our backs to serve our country with unwavering loyalty, vowing to wash away the humiliation of our land with our blood!"
With just one sentence, the achievement points immediately exceeded ten.
The crowd outside the arena immediately erupted in a collective gasp of surprise.
Ten achievement points in themselves are nothing special, but starting with ten right away is really a bit scary.
"What is this man's background?"
Everyone looked at each other.
Li Tianguo and the others also became interested: "This Jingkang Incident is quite interesting, isn't it?"
Zhao Ning gritted his teeth and said, "What a fucking coward!"
Xia Lingjun frowned.
Before creating a character, you must first create a background. This is a skill that most experienced drivers in the industry have mastered; to be precise, it is a basic requirement.
While the requirements are high, few can truly excel at it.
A good backdrop is an excellent stage, a stage that can evoke strong emotions.
The scene depicting the Jingkang Incident in the sand table has already caused many people's blood pressure to spike, drawing them in unconsciously. No wonder they started with ten achievement points!
"His spear pierced the young Liang King, shaking the capital with its martial prowess; the first glint of his spear startled the world!"
As the protagonist, Itsuki, began to shine, the audience outside the arena became excited and cheered in unison.
Xia Lingjun frowned even more.
As the top-ranked player, these are just commonplace tricks in his eyes. Eight out of ten seasoned racers have used these tactics.
He had used it himself and was very skilled at it.
But it is precisely because of this that we can see the differences between us.
The same old plot can be presented in a way that is bland and unappealing by some, but captivating and irresistible by others.
The difference in timing and precision was chilling to someone as knowledgeable as him.
"The banners of Jiankang have been raised, the iron cavalry have trampled the dust of the barbarians, and the south of the Yangtze River has returned to the Han dynasty!"
"The fires of the water fortress illuminate the heart and soul as the Dongting Lake is pacified, and internal strife is quelled in order to defend against external aggression!"
"The six prefectures of Xiangyang have been recovered; wherever the longsword points, all is the king's land; the northern expedition's sharp edge cleaves the sky!"
The series of actions left everyone watching deeply moved.
Zhao Ning completely abandoned any semblance of a noblewoman's demeanor, joining the crowd in chanting, "Northern Expedition! Northern Expedition!"
Li Tianguo was both amused and exasperated. The Zhao family was truly blessed to have such a legitimate eldest daughter.
On the other side, Xia Lingjun's face visibly darkened.
Achievement points are accumulating too fast!
