Terra's Magnetic Field

Homer: It's time to eat (brings the freshly prepared food to the table)

Eve: Only weak humans would eat this.

A weak meal without nutrition! I am not weak, I am strong! I am the strongest! (Hit the table with both hands)

Ifrit is very strong! Ifrit is the king of the fire demons!

Saria: No! I'm stronger! I want to eat stronger food! (She's always like this)

Eve (back to normal): Okay, let's stop playing. Thanks to Saria's actions, I realized how stupid I was just now.

Saria: I'm the strongest!

Homer: Shut up, Saria! Eat quickly! Then go to work!

Chapter 419: Rhode Island Chicken Eating Contest

Wan Bai won, but he lost everything, and in the end he could only waile on the cold throne facing the empty palace.

At that moment he found that his strength was not working.

Because no matter how miserable he screamed, his mother, sister, daughter, and wife would never come back...

Wan Bai kept shouting like this until he could no longer make any sound.

Everything returned to silence again…………………………

Many years have passed. Gui Shao is sitting in a chair in the conference room of an office building. When he looks at the familiar or unfamiliar people around him, he will surely recall that cold night many years ago.

What choice will he make then?

"I don't care," Guishao said to Kal'tsit. After he said this, he stood up and looked at everyone present, with his hands on the back of the chair. "You guys should make a decision on this matter. I'm not an important figure in Rhodes Island, so I can't get a say..."

Gui She's action created an awkward atmosphere. No one expected that he wouldn't even give Kal'tsit this little face. For a moment, everyone present looked at each other, not knowing what he was talking about.

Gui Shao knew that Kal'tsit and the others must have made up their minds long ago, and it was very likely that Amiya would be chosen as the leader. In that case, he would not stay here and waste time. Anyway, this so-called democratic election was just a cover.

Moreover, when he saw that Amiya was not sitting at the big round table, he felt that the girl was too arrogant and was unwilling to come in person to perform. Why should he give her this face?

The act of returning to the sheath means two things.

First, no matter what form the new leader is elected in this meeting, he will not recognize it.

Second, he does not consider himself a part of Rhodes Island or its leadership, and has no interest in the island's affairs.

Gui Qiao pushed his chair into his seat and walked towards the exit. No one present dared to stand up and stop him.

When he walked to Knife, Knife grabbed the corner of his coat and pulled him to his side. When he returned to the sheath, he saw that this shrewd "young man" spoke with two expressions on his face. His expression to other people was calm, but fierce to himself.

Knife: "Why are you walking now?!"

The flesh on Knife's face trembled when he spoke.

"Amiya hasn't even come yet, why should I stay here?" Gui Shao threw Knife away rudely and shook his coat in front of him.

Guishao's words caused others to whisper again. In fact, everyone present knew the purpose of this meeting. It was nothing more than a formality for Amiya. Kal'tsit and Wan had already decided that Amiya would be the next leader of Rhodes Island.

Most of the people present had no interest in who would rule this place; they only cared about whether their share of the cake would change every year and whether they could still do evil here.

Of course, there are also a small number of people who come with purpose and ambition. They not only want cake and status, but also want to fight for the ownership of Rhodes Island!

Due to some historical issues, Rhodes Island has now become a platform for the strong of Terra to communicate, which involves the exchange of interests and unspeakable secrets between many countries. Therefore, there is a saying in the circle of strong people these days, that is, "Whoever can get the whole of Rhodes Island is qualified to seize half of Terra!"

Kal'tsit and Wan, two cunning fellows, naturally would not let outsiders take advantage of the platform they had worked so hard to build. They used all kinds of means to keep Rhodes Island in their own hands. The ownership of Rhodes Island is now like a welded lock!

Gui Shao may be the most powerful person in Terra today. In this land where the one with the most power has the most say, his opinion and attitude cannot be ignored. If he does not recognize the decision of this meeting, others will have the opportunity to pry open the welded lock.

Bella immediately understood what this meant. Her main purpose of going to Rhodes Island this time was to fight for the ownership of Rhodes Island. Her previous behavior was just to do a favor. Her character was destined not to let herself suffer any loss. Whatever she invested this time, she would get back double the benefits in the future!

Bella spoke first. Her voice was exceptionally sharp and powerful, and she stunned most of the people present as soon as she opened her mouth.

Bella: "Oh, that's right! Why didn't sister Amiya come this time? Could it be that she is not interested in who will lead Rhodes Island in the future? Can I assume that she voluntarily withdrew from this leadership election?"

When others heard Bella say this, they also agreed.

Wan heard Ling beside her say in a casual tone:

"Little Bella, you are kidding me. How can Amiya withdraw from the election? She is not qualified in the first place! She is only fourteen years old now. What does she know? She knows nothing. I think Rhodes Island should let sensible adults come. You are too young."

"Oh?" Bella remained calm, she had long expected Ling to interfere. As far as she knew, this aunt had always had evil intentions and had been secretly expanding her power for many years.

Ling's power is not as blatant as Wan Henian's. She has always been developing in a shady way, and her hands are always reaching into dark corners where the sun doesn't shine.

The "Illuminati" in the underground world of Fang, the "Shanhaizhong" in Yan Country, and various underground groups in Dong Country, these organizations are actually her puppets.

If Wan Henian could control an entire country, Ling could influence the entire land! She only needed to pull the string back, and the entire land would tremble.

Ling's face was full of smiles, and she looked very kind. Bella just looked at her without saying anything, and picked up the teacup on her right hand to drink water.

Gui Shao didn't want to get involved in Rhodes Island's mess. He naturally knew how deep and muddy the water was.

To describe the internal forces of Rhodes Island as a riot of demons would be an understatement. Once conflicts of interest arise here, they are endless and there is no way to sort out the issues.

Guishao: "Rhodes Island's affairs should be resolved by Rhodes Island itself, right? Bella, why are you a Rhine Life member meddling in this? Ling, you are already at the top, that's enough. If you are allowed to be the leader of Rhodes Island, won't this place become a scam group?"

"You, you have a bad mouth!" Ling pointed his finger back to the sheath. She couldn't lose for the sake of face.

Ling also knew that she couldn't directly participate in this matter, and no one else would agree. She was now trying to choose a leader in a way that seemed fair, but actually favored her. Since she couldn't be the leader, why not just find someone who listened to her?

Ling: "It's OK for Amiya to be the leader, but I think we should give all the younger generations a chance. Why not hold an election contest? Aren't survival challenge contests popular now? It's the kind where a hundred or dozens of people are exiled to an isolated island and compete with each other, and the one who survives in the end wins..."

Knife: "You mean eating chicken? Many young people like this now."

Ling nodded after hearing this, "That's right! Let's hold a chicken-eating competition, gather all the young people who want to be leaders, put them in one place and let them compete in the law of the jungle to select the most courageous, strongest, and wisest! That person will be qualified to be the new leader!"

After hearing this, Nian stood up holding Wan Paopao and patted Wan Paopao's belly as if to applaud. "That sounds very interesting! I'll ask Xiaota to join in later."

Since Jiannian also supported it, no one else could object.

"Okay," Bella had no choice but to agree, she thought, "but I won't give up that easily!"

Guishao: "Eat... Chicken Eating Contest?!"

Gui Shao found it hard to believe that this group of people would use such a hasty method to select a new leader. Not to mention how effective this method would be in execution, there was no basis for selecting the so-called most courageous, wisest, and strongest people. Generally speaking, this method would only select the most shameless, vicious, and brutal newcomers. By then, the future of Rhodes Island...

Wait, it seems that nothing has changed, because the previous leader was a shameless, vicious, and cruel newborn...

“Oh!……………………” Gui Shao could only shake his head and sigh.

When everyone had made up their minds, they heard Gui Qiao say:

"This...can I also participate?"

There was a moment of total silence. (The crow refers to the fat raven that had been waiting outside the window.)

Ling: “What?!”

Bella: “Huh??”

Year: “You are so foul!”

Gui Shao: "According to the regulations, my current identity is indeed a Rhodes Island operator, and I am also considered a junior, so why am I not eligible to participate?"

Knife: "If you can participate, then so can I. This game will be a high-end one, and it will be thrilling, haha..."

knife was halfway through laughing when he saw Nian, Ling and Wan were glaring at him, so he stopped smiling and said nothing more.

Wan: "You definitely cannot participate as a contestant. You can only be a referee at best. You can mingle with the contestants to monitor their every move and prevent them from taking illegal actions, but you have no right to interfere with the competition process or favor any contestant. Is that okay?"

Wan knew clearly that it was not wise to directly block Guishao from participating in the competition. This guy's stubborn character would definitely not agree that he had no room for maneuver, and he might even directly deny the result of this game.

Give him a nominal position and let him serve as the supervisor of the competition. He will definitely recognize the winner in the end. This is good for everyone.

"That's it for now, you guys can discuss the rest..." After saying this, Gui Shao pushed the door open and left, leaving everyone in the room to discuss the details of the game.

(And so I returned to become the tournament administrator)

(Fran: Now that's my highlight! (pulls out the Magnum))

Everyone sitting around the round table in the room had their own ulterior motives. Some wanted their juniors to become the new leaders of this place, some wanted to use this competition to redistribute the cake, and some just wanted to have fun.

..................................................................

"Haha! Then... congratulations, mother can be crowned emperor?"

A blue-haired girl was lying on the sofa and talking to Ling. She was playing with a pair of Tai Chi beads, one black and one white. The strange sound made by the two porcelain beads rubbing against each other was particularly harsh.

"Proclaim yourself emperor? My silly daughter, how can I, your mother, declare myself emperor?" Although Ling had a smile on her face, she deliberately tried not to laugh out loud. Even a fool could see that this was her intention. This cunning guy was taking advantage of her and still acting cute.

"Mom, now everyone knows that taking over Rhodes Island is equivalent to taking over most of the country. With the power of Rhodes Island combined with our existing strength, it is no joke to swallow up the entire Terra!" The blue-haired girl clenched her fists fiercely, and the two porcelain beads in her hand hit each other with a loud noise. Her smug expression had a youthful spirit.

"Xiao Jin, you have

Are you sure? Can you take down Rhode Island?" Ling sat cross-legged on the sofa on the other side and asked.

Jin: "Tsk tsk, you are getting old, and you are beginning to feel unsure. I am now over a hundred years old, with 900,000 horses and a huge beast flow. If I participate in the competition, who will be qualified to compete with me? Tallulah? Or some other scumbag?"

(Lei Ting: Do you really think Wan Bao only has Bella as his daughter?)

Ling: "Alas, Mom is just worried that there will be changes in the next three months. It's better not to make conclusions too early."

The Rhode Island Chicken Dinner is scheduled for three months from now.

Jin: "Don't worry, mom. I am determined to become the leader of Rhodes Island!"

Ling: "Haha~ Then we can prepare the oil-splashed noodles!"

At the same time, at Gui Qiao's residence, Gui Qiao was sitting on the sofa in the living room on the first floor discussing something with Fran.

After returning home, he stuffed the "dusty" denim jacket into the washing machine, bare-chested and crossed his legs. Fran wore a woolen jacket for middle school girls with a white shirt underneath, and her hands were placed flat on her black pleated skirt.

(After returning to Rhodes Island, Kal'tsit gave him a two-story house as his residence. He usually slept in the master bedroom on the first floor, while Fran slept in the small room on the second floor.)

Fran: "I think I should join in, too."

(Fran: The condition of participating in the competition is that if you win, you can let the administrator become the family member)

Guishao: "Participating in what?"

Fran: "Boss, you don't have to play dumb with me. I know everything that was said in the conference room today."

Gui Shao: "That's why I asked you why you participated because I knew about it. This matter is already messy enough, there's no need for you to get involved."

Fran: “I’m helping you!”

Guishao: "How can you help?"

Fran: "I can help you get rid of the contestants you don't approve of. You can't attack the contestants because of your position as a referee, but if I were a contestant, it would be considered fair competition. We can use this method to select the winner who meets your requirements. Isn't this good for everyone?"

Gui Shao: "Isn't this a black box operation? It's too despicable..."

Gui Shao got up and returned to the bedroom.

Fran: "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to maintain peace on this land! You must consider it carefully!"

This match arranged for young players seems to be developing in the direction of a [high-end game]. What will it be like in three months?

(Diti: Wait, I think I am also eligible to participate? It’s decided! I will defeat all the contestants!)

(Finally, the contestants and the administrators got into a fight)

That’s all for today.

Postscript: I recently watched the popular movie "Knives Out". The plot, acting, costumes and props of this movie are all pretty good, but the character "Meng Yu" made me uncomfortable. To be honest, it really affected my viewing experience.

I don't know why the screenwriters of Chinese dramas always like to write heroines who are like the bossy girlfriend, as if they can't portray women without this kind of character setting. In my impression, the heroines of urban dramas since the 2000s are all bossy and willful, and they always have "fools have good luck", I don't know why.

The "Meng Yu" I mentioned is also a role of this kind of shrewd girlfriend, and her plot is also very abruptly connected with other places. It doesn't seem like something that happened in the same drama. I once suspected that this was an original character created by the screenwriter (this drama has an original novel)

Meng Yu's stubbornness is mainly reflected in her inappropriate "pranks", but combined with the plot, these pranks of hers do not make her cute, but only make her appear willful, unreasonable, without measure and etiquette (I don't know if this is the case for the whole drama)

For example, in the third episode, the male protagonist (An Xin) was almost killed by a criminal while performing an undercover mission. After being rescued, he knelt beside the hospital bed and vomited. The woman jokingly sat on the male protagonist's back (the male protagonist had broken ribs at this time). Then she ate the food given to the male protagonist without saying anything, and commented that it was not very delicious. Later, she joked about the fact that the male protagonist was almost killed by a criminal, saying that it was a happy occasion at the funeral.

Just a few words ruined the favorability of a character, which shows that the screenwriter has great writing skills. He created the image of an impolite, arrogant and unruly girl in just a few strokes.

I heard that Gao Qiqiang’s adopted son will also be a factor that affects the viewing experience. I wonder if he is also so important.

Chapter 420 Family Dinner

Since the last dinner ended unpleasantly, Hemer hasn't invited Saria to her home for a long time.

Today, Hemer invited Saria to his home for the first time to eat the food he cooked, and even agreed to let Ifrit sit next to Saria.

Although Saria felt that Hemer was planning something, she didn't dare to ask directly because she had always been at a disadvantage in this "family".

After the dishes were served, the family sat down to eat together after a long time. On the table were just a few common home-cooked dishes in Victoria. The Homer family immigrated from Victoria to Colombia.

Saria felt guilty whenever she thought of Hemer's family. She knew that it was her negligence that caused their death. This also made her more curious about what kind of mood Hemer was in as he sat at the same table with her.
