Chapter 205 Unwelcome Outsider
"Of course, the popularity of the people is also the key to your becoming stronger."

After talking about the superficial reasons, Romero began to talk about a deeper reason: "Faith is a high-level energy in the universe. If you have enough faith in yourself, you can even gain the ability to create miracles.

The power that the ancient gods pursue is called emotion, which, like faith, is a power with no upper limit, but the latter is more controllable and easier to obtain than the former."

Romero said, patting Chu Yi's shoulder expectantly, "The people of the imperial capital think highly of themselves and are quite xenophobic, so they will be a little unfriendly to you at first, but as long as you can prove your strength, I believe you will be able to conquer them soon.

And if you can make these people your fanatical fans, the power of faith will continue to flow into your body."

Chu Yi answered with a look of understanding: "I understand. Put on socks first and then shoes. Be a grandson first and then a grandfather."

"Your description is quite appropriate." Romero chuckled. "Come on, I'll take you to sign up for the loyalty test first. I have to go back to the military headquarters later. Then you can stay in the room and study the Imperial language well, so that you don't need to wear a translator to talk to others in the future."

"Don't worry, don't really think I'm a reckless man. I'm actually very smart." Chu Yi tapped his forehead, "It's just that I don't usually encounter many situations that require me to use my brain, so I've formed a thinking inertia."

"I hope so." Romero shrugged noncommittally.

Soon, Romero stopped a rental sports car in the sky.

There was no need to get out of the car. After the flying sports car stopped, a blue light appeared from the bottom and directly sucked the two people into the car.

There is no driver in the car, and it provides drinks and food. There is a row of buttons under the door for playing music, watching TV, surfing the Internet, and all kinds of entertainment.

“Can a taxi be this luxurious?”

Chu Yi looked at everything around him in surprise and felt very amazed.

Romero chuckled. "This is the cheapest taxi in the capital. Its functions have been streamlined to the lowest level. I wasn't a rich man before I left the capital, and I haven't had time to collect my bonus since I came back. I can only ask you to take this cheap vehicle."

Chu Yi scratched his head: "Can this be considered cheap? What do luxurious ones look like?"

"I'll take you to do it once when I have the chance. The happiness above is beyond your imagination and it is impossible to achieve without it."

Romero's answer aroused Chu Yi's curiosity, and he wondered if he could provide some special services.

I just don't know whether similar businesses are prohibited in the Empire's system.

Normally, with an empire so powerful and technologically advanced, it should have developed a replacement long ago.

Making a realistic robot is not a difficult task. There are similar creations even on Earth, but they just don’t feel very good.

As I was daydreaming, the spaceship arrived in front of a tall and imposing building.

The building looks like a clenched fist and is designed to evoke a sense of power.

As soon as Chu Yi and Romero got out of the car, a team of tall guards in black armor came over.

Romero took out a black skull medal, and the guards immediately saluted him and shouted "Sir" in unison.

Although Chu Yi could not write the imperial language, he was able to understand what these people were saying with his natural heart.

The fact that Romero was the superior did not surprise him. After all, he was so powerful. Moreover, when he came back to greet people, all the store owners were extremely respectful, which showed that Romero's identity was extraordinary.

But as a superior officer he was still so poor, it seemed that Romero had been very clean in the past.

No wonder they were sent to the border areas. Most of the time, they were officials who did not know how to keep in harmony with the world and were unwilling to go along with the corrupt officials. Therefore, they were ostracized by their colleagues and disliked by their superiors.

Then, with a military order, he was transferred to the frontier to guard the heir.

If Romero hadn't been lucky enough to meet me, he would probably have to guard the solar system for the rest of his life!

Because according to the strength of the Earth at that time, there was no way it could be the opponent of the Sin Realm. With those eight supreme demons, it would be quite good if they could fight to a 90-1 odds.

Now that all the heirs are dead, who else can absorb the star core?

Of course, according to the style of those great demons, they will probably keep some humans as slaves in the end.

Then, after waiting for hundreds or thousands of years, a genius with a destiny finally emerged among these slaves and led mankind to defeat the demons of the Sin Realm.

Or maybe he was just like himself, and by some strange coincidence he was chosen by the four gods, allowing the devil from the realm of sin to return to his hometown.

It must be such a script.

Looking at it this way, it seems like I have inadvertently snatched the role that belongs to a chosen one. I feel really embarrassed.

"This is the successor you brought back. He looks average in ability, huh?"

A giant man who was obviously stronger than the other armored guards walked out and started to mock Chu Yi without caring whether Chu Yi could understand him or not.

Romero seemed to be accustomed to this, and said calmly: "He just turned 18, and he has a lot of room for growth."

"Perhaps, but the scope of the Emperor's Trial has been expanded this time. Other civilized races in the universe can also send people to participate. The difficulty of the competition is not the same as the previous ones!"

Romero's eyebrows twitched at the mecha man's words, and he asked hurriedly, "Why is this happening?!"

The sturdy man answered loudly: "The Emperor gave an order. He hopes that the Empire can absorb talents from all over the universe. Of course, the premise is that these talents are willing to join the Empire's nationality after being promoted."

"The emperor is so generous." Romero sighed, and became more worried about Chu Yi's future.

"But for this heir, it seems a little too early to talk about this now. It is impossible for him to directly participate in the championship trial with the strength of just over the third level, right? He should crawl out of the loyalty test first!"

The sturdy man snorted and continued to move forward.

"Come for a drink tonight?" Romero called out.

"Got it." The sturdy man said without turning his head.

After chatting with his old friend, Romero took Chu Yi to the Riot building.

"The person just now said that the scope of the trial has been expanded. Will there really be geniuses from other countries willing to join the empire?" Chu Yi suddenly asked curiously.

"You can understand Imperial?" Romero was surprised.

He was able to communicate with Chu Yi because he was wearing a mental headset, which allowed him to communicate directly through mental power, but Zherian didn't wear that thing, so how did Chu Yi understand?
Chu Yi smiled proudly: "I was born with the ability to communicate with everything. I can understand everything you say, but I still need to learn written language."

Romero chuckled. "You hid it well, kid. I always thought you couldn't understand the Imperial language. Fortunately, I didn't say anything bad about you, otherwise you would have hated me."

"I'm not a person who holds grudges, and I'm impatient. If I really have a grudge, I will definitely take revenge on the spot and will never wait until the next day." Chu Yi thought of the powerful old man named Zhao Shanhe.

It was he who suppressed talented people for his own selfish interests, which led to a series of tragedies in Huaguo Mountain.

Although the Destruction Society and Pachlena also bear most of the responsibility, Zhao Shanhe is one of the sources.

So when Chu Yi found out the whole story, he immediately confronted this old man after returning home.

However, the old man was in a high position and had great power at that time. Even after he retired, he still had countless disciples and former officials. I had no ability to shake him at all.

So I was fooled by the old man's Tai Chi skills with just a few words.

They said they would investigate, but in the three years that followed I didn’t find any results.

He also suffered a lot of insults online because he did not consider the overall situation.

He guessed that the old man's filial son and grandson must have played a role in his bad reputation during those three years.

It’s funny, I searched for three years without finding the answer, but after I became a hero, I found the answer in one day.

Before leaving the sin domain, even though I didn't say anything, Zhao Shanhe and his followers were suddenly uprooted. The damned powerful enemy, the guilty ones were sent to prison, and no one could escape.

Chu Yi didn’t know whether this belated justice could comfort the soul in heaven, but he felt that his actions were worthy of his conscience.

Moreover, even if he had been scolded for three years, he would still attack Zhao Shanhe at the commendation meeting if it happened a hundred times.

There's no way around it. With that kind of personality, he can't tolerate any sand in his eyes. If he doesn't say some things directly, his faith will really be broken.

Of course, Romero didn't know what kind of person Chu Yi was. He just felt that this kid, although young, knew a lot and had strong ideas.

But being too rigid is not a good thing. He was like this when he was young. He angered his boss and was exiled to the solar system for thousands of years, missing out on the best and most promising time in his life.

Now when he returns to the empire, everything has changed. The owner of the store is still there, but his confidante has already married.

All of my old buddies have become high-ranking officials now. I don’t know if we can still speak freely when we chat and drink at night like before.

Thinking of this, Romero couldn't help but sigh to the sky.

Chu Yi looked at him and wondered why this uncle suddenly became emo?
Just as I was thinking about whether to speak to comfort him, Romero suddenly stepped forward and said, "Let's go. Don't let my affairs affect your mood."

"You recover pretty quickly." Chu Yi smiled and quickly followed.

After turning a few corners in the building, the two arrived at a spacious registration room.

There were several thousand people sitting inside, and most of them looked young and cool.

It is estimated that these young people are geniuses in the world they live in, so when they see their peers, they all act arrogantly as if “you are not as good as me”.

But as the game progresses, they will soon learn that there is always someone better than you.

As for whether they will pick themselves up and move forward or sink into despair after suffering a major blow, it depends on whether these young people have a firm will.

"Get a registration form for the heir."

Romero came to the staff and spoke softly.

However, this sentence still attracted the attention of many people around.

There are many types of contestants, but the gap between ordinary contestants and heirs is definitely the biggest.

The heir represents someone who has already absorbed the star core and is a key talent to be trained by the empire.

Even if you are unlucky and don't encounter the Emperor's Trial, you can still participate in various other trials. Once you accumulate enough loyalty, you will have the opportunity to meet the Emperor.

As long as one's talent is not particularly bad, there is a good chance of becoming the emperor's offspring.

As for whether you can become the Emperor's Son, that depends on luck.

But no matter what, the heirs are the brightest new stars in all imperial competitions, and they are also the biggest threats to ordinary players like them.

So almost in an instant, Chu Yi felt hundreds of hostile gazes coming from all directions.

It was very sharp and pointed, making his body and heart itch.

He couldn't remember the last time he felt this kind of gaze.

Ever since I became invincible among young people, no one dared to express hostility in front of me.
Everyone becomes friendly and kind because everyone knows that it is impossible to surpass themselves in this lifetime.

The behavior of these young people in the empire is still forgivable. After all, they have just met me and don’t understand my strength, so of course they are full of hostility.

But soon they will no longer look at themselves in this way! Because their height is so high that they can only look up to them without any jealousy or hatred.

So under these hostile gazes, Chu Yi always maintained an elegant and polite smile.

Just like he and Romero had agreed just now, control your words and actions and don't cause trouble.

Soon, Romero walked up to Chu Yi with a special registration form and threw the registration form and a pen in front of Chu Yi: "Fill it out. There will be more content for alien players to fill in. If you don't understand, ask me."

“By the way, is there any difference in treatment between foreign players and local players of the Empire?

Chu Yi opened the pen cap and looked at the registration form while asking.

Romero said in a deep voice: "In the past, alien players were not allowed to participate in the Imperial Trials, unless you were the heir or had extremely high talent, then we would make an exception for you.

However, the competition system has been changed this time. Even young aliens can participate in the competition. Of course, the prerequisite is that you are willing to swear allegiance to the empire.

Besides, this is the Empire's Trial after all, so there may be some favoritism towards local players. However, as the heir, you certainly don't want to worry about being the one who suffers a loss, but don't expect to get any benefits either, after all, the Empire Trial is the fairest trial."

"There is never any absolute fairness, only relative fairness."

Chu Yi said as he wrote his name on the registration form: "Horus Nero Arthas."

Romero laughed after hearing this: "Your words are quite philosophical, but I still say that in the future, don't say anything that is not conducive to unity."
