Mechanical Pioneer Under One Person

"Chu Lan is like that because... the impact of that secret is a bit too great."

After hearing this, Liu Ke's brows finally relaxed.

He and Er Zhuang hurried here and had no time to listen to what happened next, so they didn't know why Zhang Chulan was so distraught.

Xu Si breathed a sigh of relief and quickly asked, "Well, did you win that game?"

Seeing Liu Ke nod, Xu Si quickly changed the subject and passed the matter over.

"Let's go back and watch the game first. The game is the real thing. These players are not easy to deal with..."

Chapter 113 Interview

"Damn it! This... this Zhuge Qing is like a half-immortal, there's absolutely no flaw at all!"

After Nadutong and his companions came back, they went to the venue where Zhuge Qing was competing. Zhang Chulan couldn't help but lament when he saw the fighting methods between Zhuge Qing and Little Vulcan.

In a sense, he had just come out of the shock of "Grandpa and Quan Xing's brotherhood" when he fell into the melancholy of "probably not winning the championship".

Actually, it wasn't his fault. Not only him, but even the veterans of the circle, Xu San and Xu Si, looked unhappy.

The reason is simple. This little Fire God is very powerful. Flames explode with a wave of his hand. Zhuge Qing, who can suppress the little Fire God in all directions, appears to be even stronger.

If the competition in the audition stage was just a small fight, then Zhuge Qing showed his true ability in this round.

He used strange directions and strange techniques to fight the enemy. Whether it was close combat or long-range combat, he played with the raging and flaming little fire god in the palm of his hand.

……

After more than a dozen rounds, the little fire god finally failed to defeat Zhuge Qing, who was "playing tactics". He was one step behind and ended up losing.

Xu San and Xu Si's expressions became more and more tense, fearing that Zhuge Qing would become Zhang Chulan's next opponent.

"It doesn't matter. If I meet him, I will bury him in advance."

Zhang Chulan looked at Sister Baoer who was carrying a shovel, but this time he did not have any intention of complaining, but was full of comfort.

Sometimes, such dishonorable means are also a "necessary evil" to win the final victory. It is better to "bury" something than not to "bury" it.

As for Liu Ke...

"Don't panic! I don't believe that Zhuge Qing can't be cured."

"Isn't his Wu Hou Qi Men just a way to cheat? Everyone can cheat..."

When Zhang Chulan heard Liu Ke's words, he burst into tears and cried out, "At the critical moment, my brother Ke is still reliable!"

Liu Ke narrowed his eyes and said, "I have a hard weapon prepared for Zhang Lingyu. If you encounter Zhuge Qing, use it in advance."

"It's enough for him to have a drink."

……

"Xu San, please take them to the next venue first."

With Zhuge Qing's match over, Nadutong and the others prepared to go back to watch the game. Xu Si seemed to have something else to do, so he let Xu San be the 'leader'.

When they left the auditorium, they saw Zhuge Qing surrounded by several white-collar workers in business attire.

Each of those white-collar workers in suits wore a star badge on their chests and held microphones and cameras. It seemed their purpose in surrounding Zhuge Qing was simply to interview him.

As Feng Baobao looked at Zhuge Qing's back, she couldn't help but grip the shovel tighter in her hand.

Xu San and Zhang Chulan, who were standing beside her, had been watching her for a long time. When they saw her twist the shovel handle, they knew she couldn't hold back and quickly stopped her.

"Baby, there are too many people here. Be obedient and stop it!"

"Yeah, Sister Baoer, we haven't matched yet!"

Zhang Chulan held Feng Baobao's shovel head tightly, not daring to relax at all. However, after they made such a fuss, the attention of everyone around them was attracted.

Perhaps because the uniforms of the Nadutong people were particularly eye-catching, the "reporters" hurriedly ended their interview with Zhuge Qing and walked towards the Nadutong people.

Among them, a man with thick lips spoke like a broadcaster, saying in a loud voice, "You are all the contestants who advanced from this tournament!"

"Zhang Chulan, Feng Baobao, Liu Ke!"

"Please accept the interview from our Yaoxing Society!"

……

For a while, Yaoxing Society divided into several teams to "hunt down" Nadutong and his men separately.

"Hello, contestant Liu Ke."

Looking at the short and fat man opposite him who looked very similar to 'Lan Zhanfei', Liu Ke twitched his cheeks and found it very funny.

This was his first time being interviewed, and he had no intention of refusing. However, he was a little nervous, so he took out the bottle of mineral water he had brought with him and took a gulp.

"Are you ready?"

The short and fat man was very professional as a reporter. He gave Liu Ke some time to prepare and only started asking questions after seeing the other party nod.

He pulled out a small notebook, glanced at it, and asked, "There's a rumor that Nadutong sent three masters to take three of the top 16 spots in the Luotian Grand Ceremony. Their goal is to influence the selection of the Dragon Tiger Mountain Heavenly Master and thereby control the Ten Lords. What do you think of this?"

puff!

Hearing this overly harsh question, Liu Ke couldn't help but spit out the water he had just drunk, spraying it straight at the other person's face...

When Liu Ke calmed down, he found that this "journalist friend" had taken out a small umbrella at some point and calmly blocked Liu Ke's water spraying trick.

The short and fat brother smiled, tossed his umbrella aside, and continued, "Of course, if you think the question is too sharp, we can change the subject."

Liu Ke was stunned for a moment, then shook his head. He instinctively felt that the 'next topic' would be more acute.

Liu Ke pondered for a moment, then recalled the contents of the Nadutong onboarding manual. He replied evasively, "Nadutong's position is clear and consistent. We will not use any means to forcibly interfere with relevant forces that comply with the New Era's guidelines for alien activities."

"We will only target individuals and groups that are unstable, uncooperative, and unruly. This does not include the Ten Bosses."

The short, fat uncle blinked a few times, gave Liu Ke a thumbs-up, and said to his assistant, "Remember! Nadutong is currently very satisfied with the Ten Lords and believes that there is no need to replace them for the time being."

'ah? ’

Liu Ke's eyes widened, and he quickly said, "No... I didn't say that. How could you write that nonsense?"

The short and fat uncle understood and nodded repeatedly, then added to his assistant, "Please help contestant Liu Ke blur out the background and remember to refer to him by his pseudonym."

"Let's just call him Liu."

Liu Ke's cheeks twitched, and after a long moment he asked speechlessly, "Is your interview style always like this? Specializing in breaking news?"

"Zhuge Qing just answered this kind of question?"

The short, fat uncle glanced at him leisurely, pointed at the 'thick lips' who was interviewing Zhang Chulan on the other side, and said, "Zhuge Qing's interview content? That wasn't me who did it, it was him."

Then he put on a flattering expression and asked tentatively, "Can we move on to the next topic?"

Liu Ke twitched his cheeks and said, "Haha, go ahead and ask. Now I'm curious about what else you can ask."

The short, fat uncle laughed heartily and said, "Don't worry, the 'explosive' content is already here, and the rest will be the normal process."

But before he could ask any questions, Zhang Chulan's voice came from a distance.

"Xiao Ke, let's go! Let's go!"

Liu Ke also saw Zhang Chulan winking at him over there, and immediately understood. He apologized to his "journalist friend" and left taking Gao Yushan's hand.

Chapter 114 The Purpose of Coming Here

After Nadutong and his companions left, the reporters from Yaoxing Society gathered together again at some point.

"How's it going? Did you get her to tell you something?"

“Just a little bit…”

The leading man said this, then looked at the short and fat reporter who was interviewing Liu Ke and asked, "Zhu Liu, how about you?"

Zhu Liu smiled slightly and said, "I don't see anything special, but..."

"I really suggest not taking orders from those 'foreigners'. After all... why bother?"

……

After the last match of the second round, Nadutong and his companions were called again.

"Everyone, are you all done with your competitions?"

The person who came was a pink-haired girl, who was none other than Lu Linglong, the granddaughter of Lu Jin, the Tenth Lord.

After Lu Linglong and Xu Si exchanged glances, he said, "Our competition is over. Now we can talk."

Hearing her words, Zhang Chulan and Liu Ke looked at each other, both confused. Then, they both looked at Xu Si.

Xu Si took a puff of his cigarette, winked at the two of them, and then said, "Let's go, everyone."

Zhang Chulan narrowed his eyes and asked doubtfully, "Fourth brother, where are we going?"

Xu Si scratched his head, perhaps thinking that explaining would take too much time, so he patted his shoulder and said, "Let's talk while we walk."

……

Although both were going to meet the Ten Lords, Zhang Chulan was not so wary of meeting Lu Jin.

After all, Mr. Lu is well-known in the industry. Moreover, the Xu brothers will not harm him.

Led by Lu Linglong, the Nadutong group arrived at their destination after walking for about ten minutes.

When Zhang Chulan arrived, he discovered that Lu Jin wasn't the only one in the Taoist temple. Besides Lu Linglong's small circle, the old Taoist priest and his junior brother in the four-wheeled cart were also there.

"Hello, Mr. Xu San, Mr. Xu Si... and Chu Lan and Chu Lan's friends, please come in!"

The old Taoist priest noticed the arrival of Zhang Chulan and the others from a distance. As soon as the Nadutong people arrived at the door, he greeted them warmly.

When Liu Ke, Xu Si and others saw that the old Taoist priest was also there, they all knew what was going on.

After they returned the greetings to the old gentlemen, they all stood outside as a background, allowing Zhang Chulan to come forward and reminisce about the past.

...

It must be said that Zhang Chulan was indeed good at being a 'grandson'. In a short while, he made the three old men in front of him happy, which amazed others.

Especially Mr. Lu, who was secretly criticized by the "Lotus Man" and promised to do something for Zhang Chulan in the future as long as it did not violate the principles.

Then, after exchanging pleasantries for a while, the old Taoist priest exchanged glances with Lu Jin and said, "Let's get down to business first."
