Xiuxian: The start is full of charm

"How about it? Old Zhou, let's take a gamble?"

"Look, I'm idle anyway, so it's interesting to have some fun like this."

Zhong Renjie's tone was full of temptation, as if he was afraid that Zhou Wenxi would not agree to take the gamble.

"What are you looking for in me? Tell me, what are you betting on?"

As an old acquaintance for many years, Zhou Wenxi knew Zhong Renjie very well.

As soon as Zhong Renjie opened his mouth, he basically understood what the other person was thinking.

"I heard that you bought a few jars of good wine from the ancient fairyland, how about we bet on this?"

Zhong Renjie is a person who likes to drink very much. It is not too much to describe him as an alcoholic.

Just like now, on the surface, there is a teacup in front of him.

But in fact, what was in this teacup was the good wine he had collected.

In normal times, Zhong Renjie would definitely not be so secretive.

As the prime minister of the Great Zhou and the great cultivator at the peak of Yuanying, what's wrong with drinking some wine?
Let alone drinking, even killing people, there is no need to hide it.

But today is different. In order to show that I attach great importance to the ranking conference, I have to show a corresponding posture.

So, before he set off, he replaced the jug with a teacup.

In Zhong Renjie's own words, this is simply the best of both worlds.

"You have a sharp nose, not many people know about this, where did you hear the news?"

Zhou Wenxi smiled, but he didn't agree whether he wanted to gamble or not.

"Don't worry about that."

Being scolded as a dog's nose, Zhong Renjie was not angry at all.

"I don't take advantage of you either. If you win, I will agree to what you said earlier."

"Also, how about I let you pick someone first?"

In order to get Zhou Wenxi to agree, Zhong Renjie once again offered generous terms.

"really?"

"really."

Nodding his head, Zhong Renjie continued to speak.

"Hurry up and choose, the result will come out in a while, so what's the bet?"

There are a total of 99 steps in the Rising Dragon Ladder. At this moment, the person at the front has already reached the [-]th step.

If you're wasting a moment, maybe the first person on stage will show up.

"I'll choose him."

Zhou Wenxi was not polite, he directly pointed to the person who is currently the most advanced.

The person Zhou Wenxi chose was none other than Yoshikawa, who ranked first on the Foundation Establishment Seed List.

Yoshikawa's strength is very strong, and the strength he has shown so far is indeed worthy of the title of No. [-] in the seed list.

At this moment, he has reached above the third step.

Yoshikawa's speed can definitely be said to be far ahead, because the second person behind him has only reached the No.40 ninth rank.

Zhou Wenxi was not polite, he directly chose Yoshikawa who had the greatest advantage.

"it's your turn."

Zhou Wenxi attaches great importance to this bet at the moment, because Zhong Renjie is not only addicted to alcohol, but also heavy on promises.

As long as Zhong Renjie can be defeated, then half of the success of the big event will be achieved.

"I'll just pick the little guy."

Pointing forward with his right hand, Zhong Renjie chose an existence that was completely beyond Zhou Wenxi's expectations.

The "little guy" that Zhong Renjie chose was Lin Qianyi, who was unobtrusive and not leaky.

This time, Lin Qianyi had just reached the No. 40 five-step ladder, and there were seven people in front of him.

In other words, Zhong Renjie chose a person ranked eighth to sprint for the first place.

"Why him?"

Zhou Wenxi's tone was full of doubts, he really didn't understand why.

It's not that Zhou Wenxi doesn't know Lin Qianyi's background, but background doesn't mean strength.

In fact, even in terms of background, Yoshikawa's background is not much weaker.

Behind Yoshikawa, there is also a huge holy place.

"Wait a minute and you'll find out."

Zhong Renjie smiled, but did not explain why.

"Good tea, really good tea."

With a wave of his right hand, another big mouthful of "tea" entered his throat.

The wine that Zhong Renjie drank was not ordinary. At this moment, the alluring aroma of the wine filled the air.

Although he knew that Zhong Renjie was a bit out of order, the referees behind him could only pretend not to see it.

There is no other reason, because Zhong Renjie's strength and official position are higher than them.

"Then I'll take a good look."

Zhou Wenxi also didn't say much. Now that he has made a choice in his position, he will definitely continue to stick to it.

Lin Qianyi didn't know what happened on the referee's bench, and he was chasing forward with all his strength at the moment.

Zhong Renjie didn't mention any mysterious reward immediately. When he said that there was such a thing, Lin Qianyi was already far behind.

If Zhong Renjie was the first to say that there was a mysterious reward.

Then, Lin Qianyi will definitely go all out at the very beginning, instead of walking leisurely behind to watch the excitement.

It was precisely because he was behind for some time at the beginning, so even if he tried his best to catch up just now, he still only ranked eighth.

"It's not a big problem. The pressure has been getting stronger. There are still dozens of steps. There is still plenty of time to catch up."

Like that ancient tree, the pressure on the Dragon Ladder is stronger the higher it is.

"More than one more."

Stepping up slightly, a middle-aged man with scars on his face was overtaken by Lin Qianyi.

At this moment, there were only six people left in front of him.

"No, I can't."

"The pressure was horrible, I was dying."

"I give up, I give up."

"I also give up."

Not everyone has Lin Qianyi's confidence. More candidates are just ordinary people.

These ordinary people can't bear it if they go to more than ten levels, or even several levels.

Unable to bear it, they took the initiative to speak and chose to give up.

"Those who give up can just jump from the side of the steps."

It was not Zhong Renjie who spoke, but a referee behind him.

Hearing these words, many people immediately jumped down from the steps.

"Comfortable, so comfortable."

"I'm alive again, the difficulty of this thing is too abnormal."

"I'm at the peak of foundation building, but I can only climb more than 20 levels. Can I really finish level 99 during the foundation building period?"

……

Jumping off the Dragon Ladder, that oppressive force disappeared.

Having regained their "freedom", it also meant that they lost their qualifications to participate in the ranking conference.

"Look, someone has climbed to No.60 level."

Suddenly, a high-pitched female voice sounded.

With the sound of this voice, those who abstained subconsciously set their sights on the Dragon Ladder.

"No, it's No.60 level one."

"Level 62, look, his speed is still so fast."

"I couldn't walk when I reached the fourteenth level, but he can still walk like the wind when he reaches the 60th level."

"With such a speed, he should be the first one."

……

It was still Yoshikawa who walked in the front, and everyone was surprised and envious watching his advancing back.

What was surprising was that Yoshikawa actually possessed such terrifying power, and the huge oppressive force seemed to have no effect on him.

What is enviable is that Yoshikawa will be the first to climb the Dragon Ladder, and both reputation and resources will have a bumper harvest.

"Old Zhong, the person you're looking at doesn't seem to be anything special."

Yoshikawa ranked first, and his speed has not slowed down in the slightest.

Lin Qianyi has advanced a little bit now, and he has reached the fifth position.

The gap between the first and the fifth is not so big.

Therefore, Zhong Renjie thinks that he has the chance to win.
