251: Chapter 251 Star-Picking Tower

Just when everyone was being tortured by the horrific human traffic and was about to suggest returning home, the "business genius" of the class—Gou Fugui—keenly sniffed out the scent of money in this desperate situation!

"Is this a sea of people? No, this is clearly an endless field of leeks waiting to be harvested!"

Gou Fugui pushed up his reflective glasses, his face glowing with excitement.

He pulled a megaphone from goodness knows where, jumped onto a trash can nearby, cleared his throat, and shouted loudly:

"Dear tourists! Dear fellow martial artists! Everyone, quiet down!"

"I am the logistics manager of Class F at Magic City Martial Arts University! Today, in this auspicious location, I am here to offer everyone some benefits!"

"Seeing how hard it is for everyone to squeeze through, I have an exclusive, secret recipe for 'Must-Pass Exam Talismans'!"

"Personally blessed by the SSS-level prodigies of our Magic City Martial Arts University! Only 199 each! I guarantee your martial arts exam will be smooth sailing and your blood energy will surge!"

Gou Fugui's shouting immediately attracted quite a few parents who had brought their children to the Imperial Capital to see the world.

Coupled with the gimmicks of "Magic City Martial Arts University" and "SSS-level prodigies," a few people actually gathered around.

"Young man, is this talisman really effective?"

"That's a given!" Gou Fugui patted his chest in assurance.

Just as Gou Fugui was selling them happily, an irritable big guy, sweating profusely from being squeezed, became unhappy: "Cut the useless talk! Do you have anything more practical to sell?"

Gou Fugui's eyes rolled around.

"Yes! We definitely do!"

Under the dumbfounded gaze of Jiang You and the others, Gou Fugui calmly pulled a roll of toilet paper he'd swiped from the hotel and a black marker pen from his pocket.

He drew a few abstract circles on the toilet paper with a flourish right in front of everyone, then "swished" and tore off a piece, slapping it into the irritable big guy's hand:

"Big brother, this is the limited edition 'Must-Have Fewer People in Scenic Spots Talisman' I just developed! Only 998!"

"You just need to stick this paper on your forehead, then hold your head with both hands, and while squeezing forward, shout: 'Everyone make way! I just returned from a dungeon rift and am infected with a high-risk mutated beast virus! It's contagious!'"

Gou Fugui looked sincere: "I guarantee! As long as you shout this, within a ten-meter radius, absolutely no one will dare to come near you! You will be the most spacious person in any scenic spot!"

The irritable big guy was stunned, looking at the toilet paper in his hand: "Are you... treating me like an idiot?"

"What are you doing?!"

"That guy standing on the trash can! Get down here!"

Just as Gou Fugui was preparing to continue his silver-tongued swindling.

From the periphery of the crowd, a stern shout suddenly came.

Several Law Enforcement Officers in uniform from the Imperial Capital's scenic area squeezed through the crowd, sweating profusely, and pointed at Gou Fugui, shouting:

"We've been watching you for a while! Unlicensed business, illegal peddling of counterfeit and shoddy products!"

"Come with us!"

Gou Fugui was so scared his hand shook, and the megaphone fell directly into the trash can.

"Officer! It's a misunderstanding! I'm a top student from Magic City Martial Arts University, I'm just conducting social practice and business simulation..."

"Cut the crap, take him away!"

Two Law Enforcement Officers rushed up expertly, grabbed Gou Fugui's arms from left and right, and directly put the silver bracelets on him.

"Brother Jiang! Old Lu! Batian! Save me! I did this all for our Class F team-building funds!!"

Gou Fugui screamed like a slaughtered pig as he was ruthlessly dragged away by the Law Enforcement Officers in the vast sea of people.

And not far from him.

Jiang You, Lu Xingye, Xiang Batian, Qiu Yunan, and others, the moment the Law Enforcement Officers looked over, their movements were extremely uniform!

Everyone turned around at the same time, hands behind their backs, heads held high, looking at the distant scenery, and even whistled in perfect unison.

"Oh my, as expected of the Imperial Capital, the historical heritage is truly profound." Jiang You looked up at the sky.

"Yes, yes, this wind even made my Black Flame Dragon quiet down." Lu Xingye looked at the setting sun.

"Don't know him, definitely don't know that person." Xiang Batian shook his head frantically.

In the entire group's extremely cold and abstract "refusal to help," the Class F one-day tour of the Imperial Capital came to an abrupt end due to Gou Fugui's imprisonment.

...

By evening.

After paying the fine and bailing Gou Fugui out of the scenic area police station, everyone had completely lost the mood to go shopping and returned to the hotel exhausted.

7:30 PM.

Night had completely enveloped the Imperial Capital.

Inside Room 2808 of the Qianlong Hotel.

Jiang You looked at the black and gold team uniform on the bed, which represented the highest honor of Magic City Martial Arts University, and let out a very heavy sigh.

"Time to go to work... This is even more painful than killing me."

He very reluctantly took off his spongebob pajamas with the hole in them and put on the slim-fit uniform with the embroidered dragon pattern on the chest.

I have to say, this outfit was indeed handsome.

The black background with gold trim outlined Jiang You's tall and straight figure. As long as he didn't roll his dead-fish eyes, just based on this appearance, he would definitely be a cold, cool male god who could charm thousands of girls when walking out.

On the other side, Lu Xingye, who had just been promoted to "Team 2 Captain," had also finished changing.

He zipped up his black and gold team uniform in an extremely arrogant manner, covering even his mouth with the jacket.

He was still wearing that black trench coat with the torn hem tightly over it.

What's more, to highlight the two bruised panda eyes he got from being beaten by the principal today, he actually used hair gel to comb his bangs all the way up, exposing those "battle-hardened" dark circles without reservation.

Coupled with the nine-yuan-nine-free-shipping rune bandage on his right arm, the whole person exuded an extreme sense of brokenness, as if "I just killed my way out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, and am full of hatred for this world."

"Old Lu, are you sure you want to go to the banquet with those two black eyes?" Jiang You's mouth twitched slightly.

"Heh, the vision of mortals."

Lu Xingye sneered, pressed his hand on the hilt of his sword, and turned around with extreme arrogance: "These are not just scars; these are medals I left behind to protect the truth. Let's go, go and meet those so-called prodigies who grew up in greenhouses."

...

8:00 PM.

The extended black commercial anti-riot vehicle sent by the Organizing Committee parked steadily in front of Zhaixing Tower, which was chartered by the Martial Arts General Administration of the Imperial Capital.

Zhaixing Tower, the most famous top-tier money-burning den in the Imperial Capital.

The entire building was made of special crystal spirit ore, emitting dreamy starlight in the night, as if one could really reach out and pluck the stars from the nine heavens.

A long red carpet covered in red rose petals extended from the entrance to the magnificent revolving glass door.

"Click."

The car door opened, and the etiquette staff bowed respectfully.

Jiang You took a deep breath, adjusted the expression on his face, tried hard to make himself look like an emotionless killer, and was the first to step out of the car.

He originally thought Lu Xingye would jump out and stand beside him as usual, strike a cool pose, and then deliver a speech full of middle-school syndrome.

However, Jiang You walked forward two steps but found no movement behind him.

He turned back in confusion.

He saw Lu Xingye just getting out of the car, but he was nailed to the spot, motionless.

"Let's go, Old Lu, are you acting as a door god here?" Jiang You waved his hand.

Lu Xingye raised his chin slightly and reached out to make a "stop" gesture.

"Don't get too close to me, Jiang You."

Lu Xingye's voice was extremely low, permeated with an irreconcilable coldness and determination: "Since last night, you are the Team 1 captain representing the hypocritical order, and I am the Team 2 captain carrying revenge and Black Flame."

"Light and darkness are destined not to walk side by side. Between you and me... we must maintain a ten-meter fated warning line!"

Jiang You: "???"
