Jiangcheng Airport.
After completing the relevant formalities and getting the boarding pass, Lin You went through security and saw Liu Jun, who had arrived earlier, at the agreed boarding gate.
Liu Jun was sitting on a row of chairs, holding his phone and watching videos.
"My son, you're living a very comfortable life!"
Lin You walked over quietly and patted his shoulder with a smile from behind.
Liu Jun was startled and quickly looked back.
Then, he said excitedly, "Lin You, you're finally here. I haven't seen you for a while. I didn't expect you to become the national champion. Seeing you now seems a little unreal!"
Lin You chuckled and said, "Basic operation. If I can win the final victory of this competition, it won't be too late for you to be shocked."
Even he himself felt that his hope of winning this competition was slim.
The range of contestants was too wide and the quality was too high.
It can be said that the best group of glory-level people in the world will gather in Bird City!
If the glory is limited to one star, then Lin You has absolute confidence in crushing everything.
But when it comes to Samsung, it’s hard to say.
Even though he now has the capital to support the Dark Red Star Monster, it is no longer his patent!
It is unrealistic to want to replicate the National Freshman Competition and sweep the battlefield with the Red Star Monster.
Teacher Jiang also said that some Glory Three Stars with incredible soul strength can also carry Dark Red Star monsters.
As for Teacher Jiang's knowledge... I'm not trying to belittle him, but his vision may not be very far-sighted.
The "god-defying" he mentioned might be an 'ordinary' innate physique suitable for demons, which is considered "god-defying"!
Although an innate physique suitable for demons is rare, it may not be too rare in such circumstances.
After all, although it is rare, there are still a few born across the country every year, right?
There are even more cases worldwide.
However, Lin You didn't really know much about duelists from other countries, but this time he had the opportunity to learn a little bit.
At this moment, when hearing Lin You mention the ultimate winner of this competition, Liu Jun said, "I can't win the championship, but I can get a ranking. I think with your ability, it will definitely be no problem!"
Lin You couldn't help but laugh and said, "You're so bold! If we want to get a ranking this time, we might have a chance in the top 16 or 32, but getting into the top 10 is probably going to be difficult."
Liu Jun retorted, "What's wrong with the round of 16 or 32? This is a world-class event. In such a tournament, being able to reach the round of 32 or even the round of 16 is incredible, isn't it?"
"That's true."
Lin You chuckled, then thought of something and asked, "By the way, how are you now? It's been so long, your strength should have improved a bit."
"Oh, it's hard to put it into words."
Liu Jun said bitterly, "It's been almost a year, and I'm still dozens of magic points away from becoming a two-star apprentice."
Apprentice two stars, which means 400 magic points.
Liu Jun's current magic power is 337 points.
To be honest, this level is already considered quite good among their universities.
Liu Jun was originally quite satisfied and even wanted to show off a bit, but when he learned that Lin You had reached the Glory level, he really couldn't show off anymore.
The gap is too big!
Lin You smiled and said, "Not bad. I'll give you a herb later. If you have the chance, you can sell it to someone who knows its value."
"Medicinal herbs?"
Liu Jun only had a vague understanding of it.
Lin You chuckled and said, "Things obtained in the secret realm might be worth some money, but they may not be easy to sell."
The medicinal herbs he was talking about were the mysterious herbs in the duel plate.
Even Chen Ji, the expert psychic in charge of price verification at the treasury level, couldn't identify it. It might be quite valuable.
However, after all, it is a product of a low-risk secret realm. No matter how valuable it is, it may not be worth much.
Giving away one plant is nothing.
Liu Jun's eyes widened in surprise, "A treasure from the secret realm? That must be worth a lot of money, Lin You. You should sell this good thing yourself to avoid wasting it on me."
"Just take it if you tell me to. What else do I need these three melons and two seeds?"
Lin You said indifferently, "At worst, if it sells for a high price, you can give me some later."
After saying that, without waiting for Liu Jun to continue speaking, he quickly took out a herb and handed it to Liu Jun, "Put it away, don't break it off."
"Oh."
Liu Jun was overjoyed. He held the medicinal herb carefully and then placed it in his duel plate.
"It's almost time, get ready to go."
Lin You looked at the time, stood up and left.
Soon, I passed the boarding bridge and boarded the direct flight to Bird City at 1:30 pm.
On the way to board the plane, Lin You did not forget to look around to see if there was anyone he knew.
I looked around, but found nothing.
This time, in order to avoid trouble, he deliberately wore a mask.
Although it is still eye-catching, it can still be used when others are not paying close attention to it.
Soon, the plane officially took off.
…
After more than two hours, the plane arrived at Bird City.
The airport reception hall was already packed with people.
Many people were holding signs and shouting.
The craziest group of people seemed to be shouting a name in unison.
"Ah, Zi Han, it's Zi Han here!"
"Zi Han, look over here! Zi Han, you need to work harder!"
"Champion, champion, Zihan will win!"
“…”
Seeing this scene, Liu Jun couldn't help but exclaimed, "This is much more popular than last time! The hall is almost packed."
Lin You followed the crowd and walked slowly forward, saying, "It's quite lively, and there are quite a few foreigners."
Many foreigners can be seen in the hall.
But this is normal, as there are many foreigners who have come to the Bird Capital from all over the world.
Apart from the contestants, there are naturally many people who have the time and interest to come and watch the game in person.
At this moment, Liu Jun seemed to have noticed something and quickly said, "Hey, Lin You, look over there! What a grand spectacle!"
Lin You looked in the direction of the sound and soon saw a young man walking slowly with a dozen black-clad bodyguards behind him.
This man was tall, with fair skin and a very handsome face. As he walked, he waved to a group of people, showing his white teeth, "Thank you for your hard work. I love you."
As he spoke, he blew a kiss to the crowd.
"Oh, I'm dead!"
"Mom, Zihan kissed me, it's so embarrassing!"
"Zi Han was clearly kissing me, stop talking nonsense."
A group of girls seemed to be in love and couldn't extricate themselves.
Seeing this scene, Liu Jun was extremely envious and said, "Who is that guy? He seems to be very popular. He is so popular with girls."
Lin You took a quick glance and said lazily, "I don't know him. He must be a contestant this time."
"Aren't you curious?"
Liu Jun said, "Where did this contestant come from? There are so many people waiting for him at the airport. Logically, he must be a very famous duelist."
Lin You casually said, "Maybe he participated in some competition. Are there any well-known duel competitions at the Glory level?"
"That has to be the Glory League Tournament!"
Liu Jun said without hesitation, "The Glory League Tournament is a large-scale duel tournament that only Glory Three-Star Duelists can participate in. This tournament is also known as the Preliminary Masters Tournament. Those who stand out from it will basically participate in the Masters Tournament in the future. He might be a Glory League player!"
"Is there such a thing?"
Lin You then became interested. He actually didn't pay much attention to these so-called competitions.
Before this, I only knew about the Samsung Masters Tournament, but I also knew that there were many dueling events in the dueling world.
He is not paying attention, but there are many people who are paying attention.
At this time, Liu Jun said again: "When we get out, we must do some research and collect more intelligence information about well-known contestants. Knowing ourselves and the enemy will ensure victory in every battle!"
Lin You said with a smile: "Why does it feel like you are the one participating in the competition?"
"Hey, isn't your participation in the competition equivalent to my participation in the competition? Who's going to win between us?"
"Okay, stop talking nonsense and get out of here. It's getting stuffy after staying here for so long, and the high decibels are kind of irritating to my ears."
"Your words are really a downer."
Liu Jun couldn't help but roll his eyes at Lin You, then earnestly corrected him, "How can this be called ear-irritating? Don't you think this is a kind of enjoyment? Being surrounded by girls, all so pretty, how comfortable!"
"Okay, stop picking on other people's lemons and let's go."
Lin You smiled and Liu Jun didn't say much.
It's a bit uncomfortable to be squeezed here.
…
After a lot of effort, they walked out of the airport and waited on the roadside for a long time before finally a car came.
After getting in the car, Liu Jun quickly gave an address.
It's not the address of a hotel, but a residential area.
When they arrived at their destination, Lin You was a little surprised to see the upscale residential complex in front of him. "I didn't expect Du Xiaofei's family to be quite wealthy. They live in a nice place."
Liu Jun chuckled, "How could it be bad? Otherwise, how could he have earned the nickname 'Small Fatty Belly'?"
As they talked, they quickly explained their purpose to the security guard at the gate and entered the community.
I found a building and took the elevator up.
Knock knock.
Liu Jun walked up and knocked on the door.
Not long after, the door opened.
A familiar round face came into their sight. It was Du Xiaofei, whom they hadn't seen for almost a year.
Compared with the Bird City Graduation Cup, Du Xiaofei's weight seems to have increased again.
At this moment, seeing the two of them, Du Xiaofei immediately said excitedly: "Hey, brothers, it's been a long time since we last met. I didn't expect you to really come this time."
As he spoke, he looked at Lin You with great excitement. After sensing it for a while, he said in shock: "Unfathomable... Lin You, it seems that you have really been promoted to the Glory level. This is incredible!"
"How could it be false?"
Liu Jun snorted, then suddenly said with a wicked smile: "Du Xiaofei, you're in trouble this time!"
"In trouble?"
Du Xiaofei looked at Liu Jun strangely, "What do you mean?"
Liu Jun still had a wicked smile on his face as he stared at Du Xiaofei and said, "It's no use pretending to be stupid. Lin You and I still remember what you said before we boarded the plane last time!"
What did you say?
Du Xiaofei was even more confused. He really couldn't remember anything.
At this time, Lin You put a hand on Du Xiaofei's shoulder and chuckled, "Xiaofei, are you in love for the fourth time?"
Fourth time?
Du Xiaofei was stunned. Suddenly, as if some long-lost memory had been awakened, he screamed, "Damn, you can't be so vindictive, right?"
Letting go of his hand, Lin You stopped teasing him and asked, "Is there no one at home? Is it okay for the two of us to stay with you for a while?"
"Of course it's appropriate, why is it inappropriate?"
Du Xiaofei rubbed his shoulders and said quickly, "You are the National Rookie of the Year. Coming here will bring honor to my humble home. How can it not be appropriate?"
Then he added, "Don't worry, there's no one at home. I basically live alone."
Liu Jun was surprised and said, "How can a person live in such a nice place alone? What kind of rich brother is this?"
Lin You teased, "He has a beautiful woman in his house, do you really believe he lives alone?"
"Where does Jiao come from?"
Du Xiaofei coughed twice and said, "I'm single just like you guys now!"
Then, without waiting for the two to ask more, he hurriedly said, "Let's not talk about this for now. Come in. It's not tiring to stand outside and talk. Come in and sit down and talk slowly."
The two of them didn't hesitate and followed him into his house, changed into slippers, and sat on the sofa.
"This house is so big! The living room must be over 100 square meters, right?"
As soon as Liu Jun sat down, he began to sigh.
"That's bullshit!"
Du Xiaofei pointed at Lin You and said, "In this era, strength is the most important thing. With Lin You's strength, if he wants a living room of over 100 square meters, even 10,000 or 100,000 square meters is within his reach."
After saying that, he remembered something and said, "Oh, I forgot to get you some drinks. What would you like? Coffee, juice, or a carbonated drink? Or maybe some wine?"
"Plain water is fine."
Lin You replied, and Liu Jun nodded, "I also drink plain water. The strong only drink this!"
"How refreshing! This is the first time I've heard of this."
Du Xiaofei chuckled, but quickly took the kettle and poured three cups of boiled water. He said with a smile, "I want to be a strong man too."
As he said this, he handed a cup to Lin You and the other man respectively.
Lin You took the glass of water, took a sip, and then asked, "By the way, Du Xiaofei, as a local of Bird City, you should know something about the famous contestants in this competition, right?"
"You asked the right person!"
Du Xiaofei smiled smugly. "After I heard from Liu Jun that you were also going to participate, I specially collected a lot of information for you. This information was obtained from the Duel Kingdom Forum. The format of the information is similar to the contestant level selection on the Bird City Forum. Do you want to take a look now?"
"Okay, let's see."
Lin You nodded. He had nothing to do now, so it would be nice to look at some player information.
Although this is a duel city, the contestants have not yet been listed publicly, but all the glory-level duelists who appear in Bird City at this time are basically contestants.
Especially the glory class who came from other places or even foreign countries!
There is no escape!
Du Xiaofei held a large tablet and operated it for a while before finding an integration post. He quickly handed it to Lin You, "Take a look, that's all. There are many people with photos attached!"
"And photos?"
Lin You was a little surprised. He took the tablet and started looking at it. Liu Jun also quickly came over.
As soon as the two of them saw the first page of the post, their expressions changed and they said in unison, "Is it him?"
"Who is it?"
Du Xiaofei looked confused and hurried over.
