nThe giant person in front of them was wearing steel armor. His body was large and he was at least two meters tall. Everyone was shocked.

nEven Lin Qi was surprised. His eyes widened and said, “Isn’t this guy too huge?”

nAt that moment, Yu Meng began to explain, “He is the young master of the Seven Day City’s Ming family, Ming Shen. Don’t look at him like that. He is a grand swordmaster.”

nLin Qi observed carefully and found that there was a huge iron sword hanging on the back of that giant. Moreover, it was the kind with chains. He felt that it surely was not light.

nAs a famous family of Seven Day City, the Ming family naturally had a certain level of strength. It made sense that the giant was the participant representing the Seven Day City.

nSeven Day City was a fallen city with very few noble families. As a result, there were only two participants sent to the trial.

nThey were the young master of the Ming family and the young master of the Xiao family.

nThe appearance of those two people made everyone’s gazes turn somewhat hostile. After all, everyone knew the strength of those two, especially the young master of the Ming family, who was the giant that weighed a few hundred pounds.

n‘Don’t look at him. If they were to really start a fight, there aren’t many people here who could block his slashes.’

n“Is this guy really that powerful?”

n

n

nAt that moment, Luther was getting a little excited. He was thinking about the existence of another grand swordmaster. If they really fought, what would be the result?

nWith that in mind, his greatsword craved something to fight. However, due to the rules of Black Wind Castle, he did not dare to act recklessly. Therefore, he could only remind himself to fight him once they got out of the city.

nAs for Lewis, he laughed and said, “Don’t even think about it. Although this fatty is at the level of a grand swordmaster, his strength far surpasses that of anyone in his rank. Last time, I heard that there was a grand swordmaster who wanted to challenge him. In the end, in just one move, this fatty crippled that person!”

nHearing that, everyone could not help but feel a sense of fear towards the large guy. His heavy footsteps produced a thumping sound as he walked towards the direction of the front desk. At that moment, no one dared to stop him.

nThat kind of pressure really made people shiver.

n“Two single rooms!”

nAs his voice resounded, the clerk’s expression became especially fearful. He hurriedly handed the keys over to him.

nOn the contrary, Yu Meng was very relieved. That was because the Ming and Xiao families had very strict rules, as long as others did not provoke them, they would not provoke others. Those two belonged to the neutral faction.

nAfter the two of them walked up to their room, Luther asked curiously, “Why are the participants of the trial so strange?”

n“Is it very strange? You say it’s strange, but it’s more so that the participants are carefully selected elites!”

nLewis agreed and giggled, “Exactly. We were selected by the city as elites as well. Of course, there are some exceptions!”

nThat sentence was obviously directed at Lin Qi. However, at that moment, Lin Qi did not say anything. His gaze was fixed on a girl standing at a window in the distance.

nThat girl was filled with a mysterious aura. She was wearing a veil just like Yu Meng. However, from her figure and eyes, she seemed to be a beauty.

n“Hey! Lin Qi, what are you looking at?”

nLewis came over and asked. He looked toward the direction Lin Qi was staring and smiled.

n“Oh… You’re looking at that beauty? Do you know who that is?”

nLin Qi was interested and shook his head at Lewis. “No, who is she?”

n“Hehe, she is also a participant like us. She is from the Exquisite City!”

n“Right.” Lin Qi nodded.

n“She is a noble from the old city in the midlands of the Mill continent. It is said that the old nobles there had once ruled this continent for a period of time. But because they ruled with tyranny, countless people were oppressed.”

n“Later on, her family was overthrown by others and their reign came to an end. Now, it’s just an old noble family, and their descendants continue to carry the title of ‘Sinner’ from their ancestors!”

nHer name was Dong Ling, and she was a beginner-level mage like Yu Meng. However, the old nobles of Exquisite City were confiscated of their magic tome. Even though their descendants had retrieved some pages, later on, they were still missing a part. It is said that the old nobles had hidden them to prevent them from being confiscated long ago.

nThose pages contained many powerful forbidden spells, so very few people would seek them out, but at the same time, Dong Ling also had to be wary of people who would approach her with the wrong intentions.

nSeeing that the entire Central Hotel was almost full of participants, Lin Qi felt a little overwhelmed for a moment. He even had to wait forever for breakfast because of the crowd.

nThen, he had an idea. He knew that the system would need to be upgraded in the future, so naturally, he would need gold coins to upgrade it.

nNow that he did not have many gold coins left, and his experience points were almost full, he should start earning money to prepare for the next upgrade.

nSince the service was so slow here, he could help the participants who were waiting endlessly by providing them with food!

nLin Qi took out all kinds of food from the system. In order to avoid suspicion, he deliberately went to the room on the second floor and prepared the food. Then, he shouted to the people in the hall on the first floor, “Everyone, breakfast is also available up here. Those who want to eat can come!”

nRight after Lin Qi said that, the people on the first floor who were almost starving all rushed up to the second floor.

nLin Qi was ready to sell the Grilled Steak and Magic Sweet Potatoes on the table that he had prepared.

nAlthough it was obvious that he was stealing someone else’s business, the hotel did not dare to do anything to him. After all, they were all big shots. If the hotel management had offended any one of them, they would be in trouble.

nWhen everyone went up to the second floor, they were all stunned to see Lin Qi standing in front of them with so many delicacies in front of him.

n“Isn’t… Isn’t that the young master of the Lin family from New Moon City?”

n

n

n“What? Is his family bankrupt or something? Why is he suddenly selling breakfast?”

n“No… Could it be a trap?”

nNo one dared to go over to buy it. Lin Qi was also very embarrassed. He stood there helplessly while being stared at by the group of people who had gathered.

n“Uhm…”

nAt that moment, the giant person walked out from the crowd. He looked calm and did not seem hostile. He walked toward Lin Qi step by step.

nThe huge pressure made Lin Qi sweat nervously. He could only smile crookedly. “What do you want?”

nThe giant thought for a moment before he pointed at the Magic Sweet Potato and said, “Give me 50 sweet potatoes.”

nThat number shocked everyone including Lin Qi.

n‘Did he buy 50 sweet potatoes just like that?’

nHe had always heard that the young master of the Ming family was a very heavy eater. He had not expected that he would witness it right before his eyes..
