1094 Hunting and Being Hunted
“Miss Yang.”
Yang Xirui had just ended the live broadcast and was about to walk down the platform to rest when she heard a familiar voice.
Turning around, she immediately smiled and went forward.
“Mr. Locket, I was just about to find you. Thank you for the help you and your Camille Prophet’s Office provided, allowing us to report immediately. Here, let me represent the audience of our Federation’s Information Martial Arts World Channel and the Earth Federation to thank you sincerely.”
!!Locket laughed, “I’m only helping out in pa.s.sing. It’s not a big deal. Moreover, to be honest, I actually have my own selfish motives and want to see if Chu Nan can perform equally well in this Garden Hunting a.s.sembly.”
Yang Xirui smiled. “I have no doubt about this.”
“Is that so?” Locket turned to look in the direction of the s.p.a.ce station.
He and Yang Xirui were now in a s.p.a.ceship in the starry sky not far from the s.p.a.ce station. Looking out the window, he could clearly see the appearance of the s.p.a.ce station.
“Miss Yang, although I don’t doubt Chu Nan’s strength, don’t you think it’s not wise for him to provoke so many princes of the empire from the beginning?”
Yang Xirui exchanged a look with the two colleagues beside her and smiled and shook her head.
“No, I believe Chu Nan has his own judgment. Since he chose to do this, it proves that he has the confidence to defeat that prince of your country.”
Locket frowned slightly. He thought for a moment and asked, “Can I ask a question?”
“Please.”
“Although Chu Nan successfully condensed a star cloud in the Orion Arm Martial Arts Academy Alliance Compet.i.tion last year, he ultimately self-destructed it. Did he really condense another star cloud after that? If so, he does have the strength to fight Prince Mufala, but if not… I doubt if he can survive the first day.”
“I’m sorry, Mr. Locket. I’m afraid I can’t answer your question.” Yang Xirui shook her head and raised her eyebrows at Locket with a smile, “However, I can give you a small hint. If Chu Nan’s strength is insufficient, how can I have such strong confidence in him?”
“Oh?” Locket looked at Yang Xirui in amus.e.m.e.nt, “Why do I feel that you’re actually a little blind in your confidence in Chu Nan, so you can’t take this seriously?”
“If you think so, that’s right.” Yang Xirui shrugged and did not mind Locket’s teasing.
“Alright, don’t worry about Chu Nan for now. Miss Yang, I actually have something to do when I came to find you this time,” Locket said.
“Business?” Yang Xirui looked at Locket in surprise.
The only connection between the federation information she was in and the Declan Empire’s Camille Prophet’s Office where Locket was was was the private friendship she and Locket had formed after knowing each other in the Orion Arm Martial Arts Academy Alliance Compet.i.tion last year. This time, she could bring her colleagues to the front line of the Garden Hunting a.s.sembly to report live because of Locket.
Apart from that, there was no official business between the two media outlets at all, because the levels of the two sides were completely different.
The Camille Prophet’s Office was one of the three great media outlets in the Declan Empire. It had always been reputed to be the mouthpiece of the royal family of the Declan Empire and enjoyed a reputation in the entire Milky Way.
On the other hand, the federation’s information was only media from a small border country like the Earth Federation on the Orion Arm. It was not famous in the entire Milky Way.
What business could there be between the two media outlets with such a huge difference?
“It’s like this…” Locket explained,” Taking advantage of the fact that the Garden Hunting a.s.sembly has invited young martial artists from all the countries in the Milky Way, our newspaper office plans to make a series of reports specially used to report those young martial artists who have come from other countries to partic.i.p.ate in the Garden Hunting a.s.sembly. After some research, we’ve decided to focus on reporting all the young martial artists in a country as a unit. The newspaper office took into account that I have a good relationship with you and happened to invite you over this time, so they first chose your Earth Federation as the first reporting target. What do you think? ”
“Oh? Your newspaper company actually has such a consideration?” Yang Xirui was even more surprised, “Pardon me for being blunt, but in my impression, hasn’t your Declan Empire always not paid attention to martial artists from other countries? Why is it that this time…”
“Heh heh, it seems that you have some misunderstanding of the Empire. However, it’s fine. What we need to do this time is to change people’s impressions. How about it? Miss Yang, are you willing to help me complete this first report?”
Yang Xirui had a thought and a brilliant smile bloomed on her face.
“Of course I’m willing. Then, Mr. Locket, how do you plan to do this report?”
“Let’s start with the young martial artists from your Earth Federation who partic.i.p.ated in the Garden Hunting a.s.sembly this time.” Locket paused for a moment and added, “There’s no need to introduce Chu Nan first. I already have a basic understanding of him, so tell me about the other young martial artists who partic.i.p.ated. I have a list of martial artists from your Earth Federation who came to partic.i.p.ate in this Garden Hunting a.s.sembly. I have to trouble you to introduce them to me one by one.”
“Okay.”
Yang Xirui nodded and took the paper list. She searched it and discovered Chu Nan’s name in the first row.
Then, her gaze slid down and she was suddenly stunned.
“Eh? He actually came!”
…
Chu Nan walked out of the door of the surface s.p.a.ce station and casually took off the personal terminal on his wrist. He handed it to a staff member guarding the door and took a metal wristband of unknown material from his hand before putting it on again.
According to the rules of the Garden Hunting a.s.sembly, they could not rely on the help provided by their personal terminal in the next month. This metal bracelet represented their partic.i.p.ation certificate.
According to the rules, if he could always ensure that he survived normally in this month and that the bracelet was always intact, he would have pa.s.sed the first stage of the test.
However, if he accidentally died, he would naturally lose his qualifications. If the wristband was s.n.a.t.c.hed away or the qualifications on the wristband were s.n.a.t.c.hed away, he would also lose his qualifications.
Therefore, this first stage was actually equivalent to a survival game.
However, the venue of this game was relatively large. Not only was it the entire huge planet they were on, but it was even the entire star system, including this planet.
Of course, among the young martial artists who came to partic.i.p.ate in the Garden Hunting a.s.sembly, there were definitely not many Heaven Control Martial Artists who could enter the sky and fly freely. There was definitely only one person like Chu Nan who could travel through s.p.a.ce freely. Therefore, it was not wrong to say that this planet was a game venue.
Chu Nan put on his bracelet and accepted the staff’s last test before being approved and walking towards the exit of the s.p.a.ce station.
When he arrived at the exit, Chu Nan stopped and looked out.
According to the rules, as long as he stepped out of the exit, he would officially enter the Garden Hunting a.s.sembly. From that moment on, his life would no longer be protected and he would officially become everyone’s prey.
This also meant the beginning of the hunt and being hunted.
Looking at the vast gra.s.sland outside the door, Chu Nan smiled and stepped out.
As soon as he went out, he could not help but be stunned.
