Chapter 123 Tour de France Entry Quota
Las Vegas, also known as the gambling city, or the entertainment capital of the world.
Although the economy is not the best in the United States, it is definitely the best in spending money.
Li Ang agreed without thinking too much. At least from Xila's tone, he heard that there was definitely something good waiting for him.
One day before departure, Li Ang got started with "Twelve Roads of Tan Legs" and then mastered [Hidden Weapon Throwing] to the proficient level.
The characteristics of this skill are also very practical, directly enhancing Li Ang's upper limb strength by 10%.
Combined with the characteristics of [Riding] to enhance lower limb strength, it is equivalent to strengthening the strength of Li Ang's limbs.
On the plane to Las Vegas the next day, Li Ang realized that this trip was also closely related to himself.
As soon as he walked out of the airport, Li Ang felt the unique luxury of this city.
The flow of people and prosperity on the street are better than any city he has been to before.
The red Ferrari Lafa driving by the roadside with the roar of the throttle is always reminding him that he is still a poor man.
Dinner had been booked in advance, and surprisingly, it was a Chinese restaurant.
This restaurant, Wing Lee, is located in Wynn Palace, and it is probably the ceiling of Chinese restaurants here.
The dishes had been arranged in advance, but Li Ang only glanced at the menu and felt that even if it was priced in RMB, it was still expensive.
Beijing roast duck was $131.88, American wagyu beef with scallions and ginger was $99.88, and dishes like sweet and sour pork were also sold for 39.88, which is two or three hundred RMB.
After the two sat down, two or three middle-aged men in suits and leather shoes soon sat down with their female companions.
Everyone was dressed very formally, which made Li Ang, who was dressed in casual clothes, look a little out of place.
However, these trivial things did not affect Li Ang's mentality at all. If he needed to talk, he would talk, and if he didn't need to talk, he would just eat well.
Li Ang could observe that Silla's status at this table was quite high, but the real guest was a white man in his forties who looked a little old.
At the table, Li Ang ate all the high-end ingredients such as king crab, Australian lobster, and wagyu beef. In the end, he was not full, so he ordered a large bowl of wagyu black truffle fried rice.
During the meal, two female companions who were brought over showed a mocking expression to Li Ang, but he didn't care about it. Elegance can't be eaten as a meal, not to mention that these meals are [breakthrough points] when they are eaten.
However, as if to ease his embarrassment, the white man in the lead comforted him:
"It's normal for athletes to eat more. Their basic consumption is large."
This meal ended up costing more than 11,000 US dollars, which is more than one-tenth of Li Ang's total wealth.
He couldn't help but sigh that the gap between the rich and the poor here is really too big. The rich really don't treat money as money!
After the meal, the rest of the people gradually left.
Outside the door, the gentleman in a suit and tie was looking at the female companion he brought with him with an angry face.
"Alyssa, you idiot, your out-of-control expression just now is like the old sow raised in my hometown. Don't you know who the protagonist is today? I just came here to pay the bill!"
"Isn't it Mr. Orsad?"
The elegant lady just now seemed a little at a loss.
"No, it's the young Asian man opposite him. It was because of him that Miss Sheila specially invited Orsad here."

After the guests left, Li Ang suddenly realized that he seemed to be the center of today's dinner.
"Miss Sheila introduced you to me, and I have also watched the video of your competition. Do you have the intention to participate in the Tour de France?"
Faced with the question of the little old man, Li Ang nodded.
The Tour de France, as the highest hall in cycling competitions, of course he wanted to participate, but not only because of the honor and prize money, but also because of the more [limit-breaking points] obtained in this high-level competition.
"If I can, I'd certainly like to participate."
Li Ang knew that this was not an easy matter.
The difficulty can be seen from the fact that among the more than one billion Chinese people, it was not until 2014 that a Chinese athlete first boarded the Tour de France.
There are three levels of professional cycling teams, namely World Tour teams, Continental professional teams and Continental teams.
According to the regulations of the UCI (International Cycling Union), only World Tour teams can directly participate in top events such as the Tour de France.
If a team reaches the level of Continental professional competition, it will have the opportunity to participate in the Tour de France.
But it is necessary to select the three best teams from the many Continental teams in each session to obtain the quota to participate in the Tour de France.
There are only 18 World Tour teams in the world, 17 of which are registered in Europe and 1 in Asia.
There are 17 Continental professional teams in total, 15 of which are registered in Europe and 2 in the United States.
And this unremarkable old man is the manager of one of the only two Continental professional teams in the United States.
"Our team has a very high chance of participating in the next Tour de France. With the strength you have shown so far, it will be no problem for you to join our team. However, your current results are not good enough for you to qualify for the competition."
Li Ang nodded and waited for him to continue.
He also knew that his current record must be too few, he had only participated in two races in total, and only one formal one.
Then the middle-aged man told him about the largest and most prestigious bicycle race in the United States, the Tour of California.
Let Li Ang join their team to participate in this race.
"So, I hope you can prove yourself in the next Tour of California."
"Maybe you will see a miracle happen."
Li Ang shook hands with him and agreed to this matter.
Any high-end event, in the end, it is impossible for one person to fight alone.
No matter how strong his ability is, he has to rely on the quota of those teams.
Otherwise, you can only form a team by yourself, spend a lot of money, and then upgrade it little by little.
After understanding that this was Shira's arrangement, Li Ang did not say too many words of thanks. Some things can be remembered in mind, and it is more valuable to repay with actions.
"Dear Mr. Li Ang, do you know what is different here from where we were before?"
"Huh?"
Li Ang was a little confused by Xila's words.
"The age of sexual consent here is only 16 years old!"
