1242 This Is His Majesty’s Request
Compared to the first stage of the Garden Hunting a.s.sembly, the beginning of the second stage was even more eye-catching.
In the eyes of many people, the first stage of the Garden Hunting a.s.sembly was only a preliminaries. Only partic.i.p.ants who had pa.s.sed the first stage of the research could be considered true geniuses and outstanding figures among the young martial artists of the entire Milky Way. Therefore, compared to the first stage, the average standard of the partic.i.p.ants in the second stage was clearly much higher, so it was naturally more exciting than the first stage.
Most importantly, for some reason, the royal family of the Declan Empire actually opened the first half of the second stage to other countries and the media, allowing the media from other countries to interview and follow reports.
Therefore, on the day the second stage officially began, countless media outlets from other countries swarmed over.
A large civilian s.p.a.ceship arrived at the s.p.a.ce station of the largest planet in the Dark Forest Star System and stopped. Yang Xirui did not disembark immediately. Instead, she tidied her appearance slightly and gestured for the two a.s.sistants to open the recording equipment and begin to introduce it to the camera.
!!“h.e.l.lo, everyone. I’m Yang Xirui. Now, we’ve already arrived at the location of the second stage of the Garden Hunting a.s.sembly held by the royal family of the Declan Empire—the Dark Forest Star System of the Declan Empire. This star system…”
After a short introduction of the situation of the Dark Forest Star System, Yang Xirui also briefly introduced the situation of the three partic.i.p.ants from the Earth Federation who had entered the second stage.
Among the remaining three partic.i.p.ants who had entered the second stage, the people of the Earth Federation were already very familiar with Chu Nan, but they were not very familiar with the other two. In fact, Yang Xirui did not know much about them previously and only knew some information that she had been cramming these few days, but she did not know much. Therefore, even if she wanted to introduce them in detail, there was nothing to say.
After these simple introductions, most of the pa.s.sengers in the cabin had already gotten out. Only then did she end this live broadcast.
“—The introduction of the Dark Forest Star System ends here. Next, we’ll go to the surface and make the most direct contact and understanding of this star system. At that time, we’ll bring more detailed reports to everyone. Moreover, if nothing unexpected happens, we might even directly come into contact with Chu Nan and the other two partic.i.p.ants and interview them in person. Please look forward to our subsequent reports.”
After the live broadcast ended, Yang Xirui and the four a.s.sistants she had brought hurriedly tidied up and hurriedly got out of the s.p.a.ceship.
As soon as he entered the s.p.a.ce station, two tall middle-aged men welcomed him. One of them was the reporter from the Camille Prophet’s Office of the Declan Empire, Locket.
Locket had previously known Yang Xirui in the Orion Arm Martial Arts Academy Alliance Compet.i.tion. Later, the two of them interacted many times because of Chu Nan and were already quite familiar.
This time, Yang Xirui continued to report the second stage of the Garden Hunting a.s.sembly. Locket was also sent by the Camille Prophet’s Office to report. The two of them arrived one after another and agreed to meet at the s.p.a.ce station.
After meeting and exchanging pleasantries and introductions, Yang Xirui casually chatted for a while before asking Locket the greatest question on her mind.
“Locket, I’m very curious. Why did your royal family allow us media outlets to directly enter the scene of the second stage to interview and report? Aren’t they worried that we’ll disturb the normal process of the Garden Hunting a.s.sembly or affect those partic.i.p.ants?”
Yang Xirui knew that although Locket’s ident.i.ty was only a reporter from the Camille Prophet’s Office on the surface, it was simply a media organization under the royal family of the Declan Empire. Therefore, Locket was much more informed about the royal family than others.
Regarding these questions, it was best to ask him.
Locket smiled and replied, “No, it’s the opposite. The royal family did this on purpose. What they need is to let these partic.i.p.ants be watched. Or rather, their main goal is to let the descendants of the royal family get used to such a situation and be used to unleashing their ability with all their might while being watched.”
Yang Xirui was stunned. She thought for a moment and roughly understood.
Facing the pressure from the outside world and the media, it could be said to be a compulsory lesson for these descendants of the royal family. The royal family of the Declan Empire chose to do this in the second stage of the Garden Hunting a.s.sembly clearly had the intention to use this to test them.
However, Yang Xirui was even more curious.
“But won’t this really affect the second stage of the process? Isn’t the royal family worried that so many media outlets will complicate many things here?”
“The Garden Hunting a.s.sembly held by the royal family is not only a test for those descendants of the royal family, but also a test of the ability of the royal family to organize.” At this point, Locket suddenly deliberately lowered his voice, “This request was actually personally proposed by His Majesty.”
“His Majesty?” Yang Xirui cried out in surprise before involuntarily covering her mouth.
The emperor of the Declan Empire was the most powerful person in the entire Milky Way.
This high and mighty His Majesty would actually personally give such an order to the Garden Hunting a.s.sembly. It was really beyond Yang Xirui’s expectations.
However, what surprised Yang Xirui even more was Locket.
He had probably revealed this to him because he wanted to deliberately reveal this.
Why did he do this?
Yang Xirui knew very well that she could not ask this question and Locket would definitely not answer. Therefore, she firmly suppressed the question in her heart and asked for some details about the second stage of the Garden Hunting a.s.sembly.
However, Locket was not specific in this aspect, indicating he had not received any more news. He would only know the content of the second stage of the Garden Hunting a.s.sembly after it officially began.
Yang Xirui was not surprised by this.
After all, this was the key content of the second stage of the Garden Hunting a.s.sembly. Even if Locket knew, it was impossible for him to casually reveal it. This was equivalent to cheating.
However, there was actually not much time left until the second stage officially began. In any case, the royal family of the Declan Empire would announce it in a while, so there was no need to be anxious.
However, Locket still gave an affirmative expression.
“According to what I know, the content of the second stage is completely different from the first stage. The content will exceed everyone’s expectations. I think many people will be shocked when the true content is announced later.”
