Zhang Chaoqiang's family was finally settled in the Expo Hotel after coordination by Lei She.
The two families voluntarily compensated Zhang Chaoqiang with 300 second-level crystal cores, with a total value of over 6 million.
It can be said that this compensation was fought for by Lei Sheqiang on behalf of Zhang Chaoqiang. His purpose in doing so was just to hope that there would be no unexpected events in the first synthesis competition of the Central Country.
In this regard, Zhang Chaoqiang put his patience aside because the account was not settled yet. If there was a chance in the future, he must settle the account personally.
At this point, Lei She also warned the senior officials of Tongxin City and Liuhai City and two families that if they had nothing to do, they should never appear in front of Zhang Chaoqiang!
Xiao Xia and Gao Guojun, who are usually high-profile, had better keep a low profile, otherwise they will touch Zhang Chaoqiang's reverse scale. Even the family power behind them may not be as strong as Lao Chen alone.
In fact, the mayor of Tianan City, An Xitian, had never worried about anything happening, because he knew that Zhang Chaoqiang had people behind him and above him.
No matter what, nothing will happen to Zhang Chaoqiang's parents as they are under the protection of that strong man and Lao Chen.
Unfortunately, An Xitian, who wanted to stand up and speak for Zhang Chaoqiang, was interrupted by Lao Chen, so he felt a little guilty. After all, the other party didn't treat their Tianan City team well from the beginning...
It is really inappropriate for me to be so flattering.
After settling down in the hotel, Zhang Chaoqiang let go of the trouble just now, because his parents couldn't calm down for a moment and wanted to go for a walk.
After all, it was a new environment. Although it was also part of Zhongzhou City, they had never set foot there last time. They were worried that Zhang Chaoqiang, who was afraid of the same situation as before, would appear again...
I had no choice but to follow behind them.
Accompanying the two of them, He Tanyue also visited the entire open area of the expo.
The entire expo hall is roughly divided into two areas. One is the normal open area for the contestants, and the other is the closed area. It is actually very easy to understand. The closed area is where crystal core embryos and various technologies are developed.
Naturally, this is an area that is strictly prohibited for outsiders to enter on weekdays.
The open area is nearly the size of a small city and is fully equipped with living facilities.
So when Shen Qiangwei and Zhang Huolong saw the Ferris wheel that was over a thousand meters high, they were determined to try it.
"Sorry, the Ferris wheel is temporarily closed to the public..."
After Lao Chen lowered his head and said something to them, the Ferris wheel that was open only to their group of five people began to turn slowly.
The sky was gradually getting darker, and the stars were becoming more and more obvious in the slowly dimming sky.
After putting on oxygen masks, the group of five boarded the slowly rotating Ferris wheel.
Apart from Zhang Huolong and Shen Qiangwei who are curious about this kind of thing, I'm afraid no one else would come up here, right?
Old Chen shook his head and looked at Shen Qiangwei and Zhang Huolong like this.
It seems that this thing was not created to target teenagers and adults from the beginning, but to target newborn babies in research institutes.
High altitude can satisfy the curiosity of children and babies. The thin air and pressure at high altitude can accelerate the development and activation of their intelligence and talents.
Therefore, it is not aimed at teenagers and adults at all, at least not at a large group of warriors.
After hearing what Lao Chen said as he slowly ascended, Zhang Huolong and Shen Qiangwei remained silent. They pursed their lips and said:
"Is the world of warriors just boring training and fighting, with no meaning in improving strength? Are normal entertainment activities no longer necessary?
What a fun Ferris wheel! Look, husband, we can hardly see the people on the ground. We have never ridden a Ferris wheel this high before!"
It is normal for the two to raise such questions. After all, a summer insect cannot talk about ice, and a well frog cannot talk about the sea.
From different perspectives, the feelings, thoughts and needs experienced by the body and mind are different.
An ordinary person has a variety of entertainment methods.
Shen Qiangwei and Zhang Huolong were right. In the world of warriors, most of the time is spent on training and fighting monsters and other warriors.
Because this is their excitement point, improving their strength is their satisfaction point. Throughout life, people more or less need to satisfy their emotions and desires in various ways.
The emotions and desires of ordinary people are nothing more than money, various hobbies that can satisfy themselves, sports, etc.
Warriors, on the other hand, possess strength that is superior to that of ordinary people, and strength is the goal and satisfaction that they constantly pursue, as well as the source of their own desires.
So in the eyes of Zhang Huolong and Shen Qiangwei, the life of a warrior is boring, and this statement is completely true from their perspective.
Not only Lao Chen, but even Zhang Chaoqiang never explained much to his parents in this regard.
Because they are who they are, there is no need to think too much, just be happy.
After finishing their general tour of the expo, they returned to the hotel and started packing.
They will be staying here for about half a month.
That evening, all the contestants had arrived.
In order to avoid causing a certain range of repercussions, what happened between Tie Daren and Zhang Chaoqiang today was temporarily concealed by the authorities.
It was claimed that Minjiang City was unable to participate in the first Central State Synthesis Competition due to some matters.
Of course, most of the people present knew the truth of the matter, but they just didn't speak it out loud.
They began to sigh in their hearts:
"This Zhang Chaoqiang is really a fierce dragon crossing the river. He has created such a big thing on the first day he came here... I really admire him!"
Many of them had heard of Tie Daren's reputation as a "human-shaped monster", but it was even more surprising that this human-shaped monster was killed by Zhang Chaoqiang in one move.
“I heard that it was Tie Daren from Minjiang City, Gao Guojun from Tongxin City and a few others who conspired to force Zhang Chaoqiang to take action, and they almost hurt Zhang Chaoqiang’s parents.
That’s why he took action!”
"Good fellow, you have blood! If it were me, I might not be a match for Tie Daren, but he wouldn't dare to attack the elders of my family easily..."
When many contestants understood the whole story, they also applauded Zhang Chaoqiang's decisiveness and sighed. Basically, all the contestants participating in the synthesis competition...
Who doesn’t have a good growing environment? Who doesn’t have a martial arts family? For someone like Zhang Chaoqiang, whose parents are ordinary people and who was born from a grassroots background…
No matter how talented one is, he can't avoid other people's opinions of his family. Only when his strength is truly demonstrated, others will no longer dare to cause trouble.
So, in the following period of time, basically the entire Gao family and the Xiao family stayed at home.
He basically never appeared in the crowd, for fear of running into Zhang Chaoqiang.
Ever since that incident happened on the first day they arrived in Zhongzhou City, Xiao Xia and Gao Guojun's cultivation conditions began to decline, and they are still feeling frightened.
Zhang Chaoqiang made them feel uneasy...
When I was alone, I even had some unrealistic thoughts in my mind.
Unfortunately, the idea of solving the problem once and for all was ultimately denied by the two of them. It was better to just be honest and hide.
After all, Zhang Chaoqiang is already a bug. He has Chen Xiucai backing him up, and his peers cannot beat him and can only be abused by him.
And strictly speaking, they are not of the same age. You have to know that they are all nearly twenty years old, and Zhang Chaoqiang is about seven years younger than them.
The age gap between the two is quite big.
So they can't be considered peers in a fundamental sense. Regardless of whether they are peers or not, Zhang Chaoqiang has demonstrated an unstoppable force.
This made them believe the rumor even more. It was not impossible for a first-level warrior to fight against a third-level warrior.
On the eve of the competition, Zhang Chaoqiang and Tan Yue were in the synthesis building, constantly conducting synthesis training.
As for Shen Qiangwei and Zhang Huolong, Zhang Chaoqiang temporarily asked Lao Chen to look after them. There are warriors everywhere here, and if these two ancestors do something special again, it will be a headache.
The synthesis building is a building specially used for synthesis. The synthesis rooms in it are, strictly speaking, all independent synthesis spaces.
It is conceivable how much money Zhongzhou City has invested in it, opening up an entire floor of different spaces, with nearly two hundred spaces in total.
You know, the Linhai Province Advanced Research Center that they had visited before only had a few synthetic spaces.
In this way, the overall scale of the scientific research center in the entire Linhai Province is less than one twentieth of the open area of the Zhongzhou Science and Technology Expo Museum.
As for the equipment inside, the gap is even greater, and can be described as the difference between a lake and an ocean.
As for the current training situation of the two, Zhang Chaoqiang has the help of [repetitive behavior] and his progress is very intuitive and obvious.
Compared to him, Tan Yue's strength is obviously lagging behind.
After all, it is normal that at her age she can barely meet the entry requirements for the synthesis competition. Apart from the factor of connections, her strength is also something that deserves recognition.
At least compared to her peers, Tan Yue can definitely be called a true genius.
"Are you ready?" Zhang Chaoqiang asked.
Tan Yue nodded, then turned her head away.
This kind of preparation is not easy to make. As Tan Yue has basically been determined to be in the last place, it is still difficult for her to fully accept it.
Therefore, even though there are still nearly five days before the official start of the competition, she has to continue training and make a final push.
In the entire synthesis building, except for Xiao Xia and Gao Guojun who stayed in the hotel and refused to come out, basically every contestant who came to Zhongzhou City to participate in the competition from various cities would undergo synthesis training of different levels before the competition.
This is to prepare for the first competition event in a few days: concentration!
In response to this, Zhang Chaoqiang has been carrying out the second stage synthesis movement of the second-order crystal nucleus. He has also come up with some insights of his own and tries to explain these insights to Tan Yue to see if he can understand them.
At least it could be of some help to her.
"The concentration project is mainly about accommodating the amount of pure spiritual power compressed into the artificial crystal core synthetic embryo, and the amount is determined by your ability to control spiritual power and your mental strength.
Therefore, in this regard, you should try to communicate with the monster crystal core frequently, because increasing the sensitivity of each other's spiritual power will also help improve your own ability to control spiritual power..."
Tan Yue was very puzzled: "I don't usually see you communicating with the crystal core all day, so why can your proficiency in controlling spiritual power continue to improve so quickly?"
"Well, this, this is of course because I have been training and studying very seriously and diligently. Didn't you see that I spent nearly one-third of my time on synthesis training throughout the day..."
"But the time I spend on synthesis in a day is only two hours less than yours. Even so, you thought I spent too much time on it and forced me to reduce the time..."
Tan Yue said weakly.
"I reduced the time because I was afraid you would go crazy..."
Seeing that it was becoming increasingly difficult to continue with what he had said at the beginning, he couldn't possibly tell Tan Yue that he could continuously improve his [Spiritual Power Control] as long as he repeated the synthesis, right?
Then Zhang Chaoqiang began to speak vaguely and quickly brushed the matter aside.
In the next few days...
Zhang Chaoqiang's progress can be said to be huge. He has successfully completed the remaining twenty or so [repetitive behaviors].
Until now, his control over spiritual power has reached an astonishing level!
[Spiritual Power Control]: 391! Equivalent to the early stage of the third-level warrior!
Having advanced from the peak of the second stage to the early stage of the third stage warrior, Zhang Chaoqiang can now finally stop the repetitive synthetic movements.
Now, with his eyes closed, he could easily complete the first and second stages of the second-order artificial synthetic crystal core, as easy as taking something from a bag.
It is conceivable that in recent days, dozens of times of the second stage of the second order have brought him gains, but as great as the gains are resistance. He has become somewhat resistant to this state of synthesis.
I have to say that Zhongzhou City is very smart. In the expo, materials will be provided to the contestants for free for synthesis, but the artificial crystal cores synthesized in the end will belong to the expo, but the synthesizers will be given some synthesis fees in the middle.
All in all, this is a considerable gain.
The day before the competition officially started, I reviewed the training sessions of the past few days.
Zhang Chaoqiang's control ability improved rapidly from the second level to the third level.
And Tan Yue, well... is also training seriously! (End of this chapter)
