Chapter 209: Zhou Yuanchen's Enlightenment, Unveiling of the Qin Era!
The No. 1 floating island offers the best aerial view of the Central City. Standing here, with the aid of a high-powered telescope, you can almost extend your gaze to every place within the inner ring.
Especially as night falls, the vast garden filled with exotic plants lights up, resembling a beacon that connects to the sky. Even from the outer ring, you can see the dazzling brilliance.
Qin Shi and Yu Weiwei sat together in the spacecraft, and Holvren had already applied for an exclusive transportation route in the afternoon.
Whoosh!
The spacecraft, bearing the license plate of the Governor's Mansion, quickly ascended. After the Tai Monarch verified their identities, it darted through the sea of lights like a swordfish, heading towards the floating island that pierces the clouds.
"Mr. Qin, let me explain the agenda of the banquet to you."
Holvren, sitting in the front row, turned back with a few invitations in hand:
"The Central City has invited all the members of the Top 100 competition, of course, except for those who occupied the 'death slots' that you dealt with."
After spending considerable time together, this secretary from the Inspection Department had gradually grown friendly with Qin Shi and the others, and he began to enjoy exhibiting his dry humor.
Unfortunately, the effect was modest. Qin Shi symbolically tugged at the corners of his mouth, while Yu Weiwei closed her eyes to rest and nourish her spirit.
This left Holvren looking a bit embarrassed. He cleared his throat twice to salvage his dignity and continued:
"The event will be held at the 'Sky Tree,' which is a landmark building in Central City and also the tallest structure."
Raising his hand, Qin Shi extracted a travel brochure from the back pocket of the spacecraft seat, opened it, and flipped through a few pages before finding the Sky Tree that Holvren mentioned.
It is an enormous radio tower that receives electronic waves from all of Central City. If you crank up its power to the maximum, it can even cover 80% of the New Star in Heng Province.
In a way, it's considered the 'eye' of Central City. The active consciousness Tai Monarch uses this Sky Tree to expand its vision nearly infinitely.
It's said that during the Great Expansion period, this Sky Tree also served as a guiding beacon, with a very long history, and is one of the hottest spots for selfies in Heng Province. Before the lockdown, it attracted countless tourists.
"The topmost layer is the 'Cloud Walkway,' a fully transparent observation pod made of special materials, which lets you appreciate the scenery from over 3,000 meters above."
The middle 'trunk' houses various entertainment facilities, such as banquet halls, opera houses, and the 'Rising Dragon Arena' where events are held."
Holvren introduced them one by one, giving Qin Shi a general impression.
"Further down is the open commercial area, where you'll find a variety of shops, casinos, swimming pools, smart experience centers, and so on. Every month, there's a light show that is quite lively."
After listening, Qin Shi closed the illustrated travel brochure.
Through the porthole, he vaguely glimpsed the brightly lit giant tree towering grandly towards the sky.
Indeed, big cities are much more impressive than small places.
It's all about comparison.
In the past, living on Old Factory Street, he felt that the Tai'an Metropolitan Area was already bustling enough.
It was only after arriving in Central City that he marveled at the ever-present luxurious atmosphere here.
"Once we enter, our seats are in Zone 1. Lord Governor may give a speech or let the Tai Monarch host, which is uncertain. During that time, there will be some interludes for entertainment, followed by free socializing.
There are many representatives from major companies on the guest list, as well as leaders from various departments of Central City.
The contestants of the Top 100 competition have their potential and qualifications without a doubt. They are more reliable than those recommended by agents and intermediaries.
A lot of people come here to 'pick up bargains'."
Holvren said with a chuckle.
The Top 100 competition is carefully selected, with guaranteed quality!
Qin Shi smiled. This logic wasn't wrong.
Anyone who made it into the Top 100, completed the trials, and achieved a rank.
Given enough time, they have a great chance to enter the specialized domain.
A little training could make them the backbone of security for big companies or the defense forces of influential departments.
"Oh, there's a 'debut' segment at the end."
Holvren said again to Qin Shi:
"You are the champion of the Top 100 competition. You must make sure the entire New Star in Heng Province knows you, establishing a role model and setting an example."
Qin Shi pinched his nose, unable to help but ask:
"Brother Huo, what should I say when I debut? Should I prepare a speech or something?"
Even though he was already a Supernova in the Tai'an Metropolitan Area, he maintained a relatively low profile.
Besides an interview with Kang Yun'Er from Outlook Weekly, he hadn't accepted any other media interviews or made any public appearances.
"Just a simple self-introduction. Your name has already spread throughout Central City. Anyone on the Martial Arts Path knows that an incredible high school student emerged from the Tai'an Metropolitan Area, breaking through the Top 100 competition before even taking the college entrance exams.
Do you know what the hottest post on the Central City forum is recently? The Strongest High School Student in History! The Savage Tiger from Tai'an!"
Isn't that too adolescent!
Qin Shi's mouth twitched.
He chose to remain silent.
Holvren teased:
"Show some youthful spirit; be as arrogant as you should be! You are the future Supernova of Heng Province, the heir to the First Generation Ten Elites!"
Qin Shi nodded. He was relatively good at steady development and had no experience in being in the spotlight.
This banquet could serve as practice.
He pondered for a moment and asked:
"Brother Huo, can the Tai'an Metropolitan Area also receive the footage of today's banquet?"
Holvren nodded:
"Of course, all cities in Heng Province will broadcast it. The Top 100 competition champion is not of low value, especially given this time's high difficulty. If you hadn't secluded yourself for a month to let the heat die down, you would have been a model student promoted by all high schools in Heng Province by now!"
Qin Shi's eyes flickered as he pondered:
