Chapter 211 The Test Everywhere (Part )
Perhaps the guards of the Duke's son did not expect Chu Yi to dare to take action in front of so many people, so when Chu Yi suddenly counterattacked, no one rescued the Duke's son from Chu Yi.
The other guests all felt a sudden inexplicable gust of air coming from behind them. They turned their heads and found that a little dragon with dazzling golden light and handsome to the point of foul was strangling the Duke's son Foden's neck.
"If I were you, you would apologize obediently, otherwise I would make you faint in three seconds."
When Chu Yi said this, he increased the strength in his hands.
Perhaps the genes of the Empire and the Earthlings are different, but the human body structure is roughly the same.
They all have only one heart and one respiratory system.
As long as he exerted enough force on the second-generation rich man's neck, he could make him unconscious instantly.
The guards of the Duke's son probably understood this as well, so even though they had already appeared and surrounded Chu Yi, they did not dare to act rashly, for fear of angering Chu Yi and causing him to break Foden's neck.
"I'm not apologizing for anything." Foden smiled and retorted directly.
Chu Yi didn't expect that this second-generation rich man was so tough. Just when he was about to give him a peaceful sleep, Romero suddenly jumped out from nowhere and grabbed his hand.
Romero's strength was even stronger than Chu Yi had imagined. He didn't feel Romero approaching at all. By the time he realized it, his hands were completely powerless.
Two seconds later, Foden returned to the ground, touching his neck with a lingering fear on his face: "Damn, this kid really wants to strangle me to death, and he didn't tell me that my life was in danger. Don't ask me to do this kind of job again in the future!"
After hearing this, Chu Yi came to his senses and said that it was impossible for a normal person to cause trouble to him for no reason, and that he would not let go even though he had endured it so much.
Chu Yi took a deep breath, pulled back his hand and looked at Romero coldly: "Please give me an explanation. If you just want to test whether I am a tortoise who only knows how to endure when faced with difficulties, I think you have got the answer."
“In fact, this is not the ultimate purpose of the test. The Duke and I want to see whether you can think of other ways to resolve the conflict besides overturning the table.
Unfortunately, you chose the most reckless option."
Romero's tone was a little regretful, but judging by his expression he didn't think he had done anything wrong.
Chu Yi could understand his thoughts, but he couldn’t accept this kind of temptation: “Since you have been observing the earth, you should understand what kind of character I am. I have told you more than once.
I am not good at interpersonal communication that requires thinking. I have always advocated solving all problems with endless violence. If I can't solve them, it means I am not violent enough.
I am not afraid of death, so it is impossible for me to compromise."
Romero said earnestly, "You are not afraid of death, but what about your family, friends and the Earth? If someone threatens you with this in the future, won't you think twice and rush forward?"
"If my friends and family were threatened, I would fight to the death with this person with the intention of dying together. If he really destroyed the earth, I would let his civilization be buried with him."
Chu Yi laughed at himself and said, "Of course, with your strength, you will definitely be disdainful of my promise, but it doesn't matter. I just know this."
Romero looked at Chu Yi's cold eyes and knew that there was no way he could persuade this stubborn man. He could only sigh and said, "Forget it. I can't argue with you. You are simply the most stubborn person I have ever met!"
"Thank you for your compliment." Chu Yi laughed, then turned and walked towards the Duke's son, bowing: "I'm sorry, I didn't know in advance that this was a test, and I was a little too heavy-handed. I hope you can forgive me."
Foden waved his hand: "It's okay buddy... Oh... Your hand strength is much greater than I thought. How did the strength of a fourth-level player increase so much in the blink of an eye?"
"It mainly depends on miracles." Chu Yi joked.
Only then did he realize that everyone's attention at the banquet was on him. At this moment, he probably looked like a reckless clown.
He didn't know whether this was the empire's tradition in treating young people, or a sudden whim of Romero or the Duke.
But Chu Yi admitted that he was indeed a little out of control. If he could continue to swallow his anger for the sake of his grandson, or ask for help from the adults around him like a child, perhaps he could get through this test.
Apart from this, Chu Yi couldn't think of any other way to prevent the Duke's son from bothering him anymore.
But it is certain that these methods are not what Romero and others want to see. They probably want to see smarter and smoother ways of dealing with things.
Maybe it's not difficult, but Chu Yi doesn't like to think about how he should compromise because of other people's mistakes.
After all, he was just here eating barbecue and drinking juice, and suddenly a woman came over and said she was so beautiful, and then the son of an important person became jealous and wanted to cause trouble for him.
Who did he offend?
When you are wronged, you have to think about how to calm down the other person's anger. This is not the way to train a dog.
Anyway, Chu Yi could understand Romero's approach, but he still felt insulted.
In addition, he is also willing to face the differences between people.
He was indeed not as smart as Romero wanted to see. The blessing of demonic wisdom only allowed him to foresee the future and improve his abilities in combat, but it did not make him a wise man like Prime Minister Zhuge.
Therefore, he was a reckless man from beginning to end, and he had no other skills except fighting with his fists.
Sure enough, he still doesn't understand politics or anything like that.
I had offended Zhao Shanhai before because of my stupidity. Now that I have arrived in the empire, I will have to face more people and things. Who knows one day I might offend everyone around me.
If you can pass the Emperor's Champion Trial, then pass it. If you can't, then join the army in the future. I don't believe that going into battle to kill the enemy also requires political acumen.
"I'm going back first. I have a game tomorrow and I need to rest early."
Chu Yi had no intention of communicating with Romero and just turned around and left.
If it were his old temper, he would have cursed Romero for his self-willed approach.
Many people are like this, doing things to hurt you under the banner of doing good for you.
He only knew that embarrassing himself in public could test his skills, but he never thought about whether such behavior would hurt his self-esteem.
Although Chu Yi was a heartless person, he had endured it several times and did not feel that his self-esteem had been trampled upon.
But even a clay figure has some earthiness. If it doesn't bounce back after hitting bottom, do you really think he is a persimmon that can be kneaded at will?
"You can't stand it? If you are like this, you will be excluded even if you hold a high position in the future."
As it turned out, Romero himself didn't know how to educate people. Among so many ways of communication, he chose to use the one that Chu Yi could not accept the most.
"Hook it eight times."
Chu Yi said without looking back, then walked out of the hall.
At this time, an old man with luxurious clothes and silver hair came out and said to Romero with a smile: "This kid's temper is quite similar to yours back then, just as straightforward and stupid." Romero shook his head: "No, he is much more reckless than I was back then. Even though I am not very smart, I know that I can't just do it in this situation, but he really dared to do it."
The Duke smiled and said, "To be honest, this kid is really strong. He jumped from level 4 to level 6 in an instant. My guards didn't react at the first time. If he had killed me, my stupid son would have died.
Besides, this guy is quite polite. He apologized after knowing it was a misunderstanding. He is much better than you were back then."
Romero was helpless: "He is just stubborn. It seems difficult to change him."
The Duke's tone suddenly became serious: "Don't try to change a genius, because you never know whether the changes you impose on him will deprive him of his talent, unless you want to deprive him of his uniqueness and destroy him."
“Thank you for your advice.” Romero nodded respectfully.
"It seems like this kid won't accept my sponsorship. But I think, with his ability, he may not even need my sponsorship. But I'm still optimistic about him."
The Duke said, pulling out a golden badge from his pocket: "There is sponsorship money in it. If he changes his mind later, give it to him. If he doesn't want the sponsorship, tell him that this is the prize money from a competition that the Duke gave to a young man he likes.
If his relatives and friends want to live a good life in the empire in the future, they will need money, so just tell him so."
Romero took the badge: "I don't think he'll take it."
"Then keep it. It will come in handy in the future." The Duke was probably a little annoyed and simply waved his hand, signaling Romero to stop talking nonsense to him.
"These days, sending money is so troublesome. It wasn't like it used to be. Everyone would rush to me to ask for money. The world has really changed. I don't know whether I should be happy or sad."
The Duke muttered, turned and walked towards his son, asking about his condition.
The girl who had chatted with Chu Yi before started flirting with Foden. It was obvious that everything that had just happened was an act.
But Chu Yi took it seriously.
After he returned to the hotel, he seriously thought about the fact that he was too handsome and would attract too many women.
After thinking for a moment, he found a solution.
When he went to the Sin Realm before, Krosov gave him a mask.
This thing can change a person's appearance. Just pinching it a few times can turn a handsome guy into an ugly monster.
Of course, Chu Yi wouldn't ruin his face like that.
After putting on the mask, he adjusted some parts, making the handsome face that had fascinated thousands of girls become ordinary.
Looking at himself in the mirror, he could vaguely see the heroic spirit between his eyebrows, but it was no longer as stunning as before.
Ten minutes later, Romero came back.
He knocked on Chu Yi's door and asked about his situation.
“I’m fine, my condition and mood are very stable, but please don’t test him in this way in the future, he won’t be able to learn politics, and he doesn’t want to socialize with too many people.
It's just a competition. Just do your best in the competition. If you can't pass it, forget it. The empire is so big that you can always find a way out. You don't have to rely on the Emperor Championship to stand out."
Chu Yi said this, and Romero was silent for a few seconds after listening. Finally, he said, "Then you should work harder and hope to win a few more rounds in the Emperor Championship."
"Of course I will try my best, you should rest early."
After he finished speaking, there was no sound inside or outside the door.
Chu Yi got up early the next morning. Although it was not very convenient to wear a mask on his face, Chu Yi decided to wear it for a long time in the future. So except when washing, he did not take it off even when sleeping, just to get used to the feeling of wearing it as soon as possible.
After wearing the mask for a whole night, Chu Yi felt like he was really tearing off his own skin when he took it off.
Throwing the mask into the water to soak, he began to wash.
After washing up, he rubbed the mask again, and after drying it, he put it on his face again.
When I opened the door, I met Romero who had also finished washing up and seemed to want to ask me to have breakfast.
However, Romero was surprised when he saw Chu Yi: "Who are you? Chu Yi?"
Chu Yi nodded: "Well, something went wrong when I was practicing, causing my face to become deformed, but there is no problem with other parts of my body, it's not a big deal."
Romero shook his head regretfully: "You are at a loss. You used to have such a handsome face, but now you are not even as good as a passerby."
"Having a handsome face is useless. If you meet a ruthless person, you will still be beaten black and blue." Chu Yi raised his fist and clenched it, his tone very arrogant.
"That's true. Strength is the real truth, everything else is just empty talk."
Romero patted Chu Yi on the shoulder and was slightly relieved when he found that the other party did not dodge.
I originally thought that what happened last night would cause Chu Yi to feel alienated from me, but after a night, it seems that he has forgotten it.
Just say it, there is no overnight hatred between men, everything will be fine if you talk it out.
"Would you like to have breakfast, same place as yesterday?" Romero asked with a smile.
Chu Yi shook his head: "I was full yesterday morning, and this meal will last me a long time, so I don't need to eat today."
"One meal lasts for three days?" Romero suddenly realized. No wonder you can eat so much in one meal. If that's the case, then I can understand."
After saying that, Romero took Chu Yi directly to the Iron Fist Building.
Today Chu Yi will face his first Emperor Champion Trial.
Unlike the loyalty test, his enemies this time are not other contestants, but alien enemies created by virtual reality technology.
In the virtual world, he can freely display his abilities without worrying about hurting others.
At the same time, the fatal injuries he suffered were immediately recovered after leaving the virtual world.
In the first trial, there will be a martial arts test followed by a literary test. Those with the highest scores will advance to the second round.
When checking the identity of the contestants, Chu Yi nervously handed over his badge.
Fortunately, the competition organizer only recognized badges, so even though his appearance was very different from yesterday, he did not encounter any problems.
