Chapter 46: A Chance Encounter at Lunch!
At the end of the Arcane Basic Class, Qingshi No. 1 Middle School just finished counting a series of information such as the list of students participating in this year's Star School Competition, the schedule, etc., and posted all of them on the campus website.
After borrowing Wu Tianming's mobile phone to check it, Su Ming also had a little understanding of the 80 million he missed.
The format of the competition is similar to that of previous years, and the students who sign up are automatically assigned by the computer to fight against each other, and the winners advance and the losers are eliminated until the final three winners are determined.
In addition to these three, there is one spot in each grade as a seeded player.
Students with this quota must be the best in their grade and will be able to advance directly to the finals without having to participate in the knockout round.
In other words, there will be six contestants competing for the final championship
There is no doubt that the seeded place of the first-year player was directly obtained by Lin Yu, who had condensed three mana crystals when he awakened, and enjoyed the treatment of going straight to the finals.
The other two places were won by Li Qingxi, a second-year student, and Gai Ting, a third-year student who is about to become a graduate.
However, when Wu Tianming saw the name "Gai Ting", his expression became a little strange.
"What's wrong?" Su Ming keenly caught the reaction of his companion.
"Uh...... When I was a child, I had a special relationship with Gai Ting, and I was bullied by him for a while......"
Su Ming wondered, "What? Bully? ”
"Su Ming, you don't know! The children in our circle basically grew up fighting each other, but Gai Ting is the eldest ......" When he said this, Wu Tianming's face was full of "the past is unbearable".
"You know that after awakening, you can summon followers, right, Gai Ting is two years older than us, and he awakened early, and I've been walking around him ever since!"
"Think about it, with my skinny little body, fighting with the entourage he called out, isn't that asking for trouble!"
The corners of Su Ming's mouth twitched silently, if he made up for it, Wu Tianming was pressed to the ground by a bunch of non-human creatures such as kobolds and fishmen......
Well, unsightly.
"Haha, but it's different now!" Wu Tianming's tone of voice changed, and he returned to his elated appearance: "I am also the one who awakens the mana crystal, so I don't have to instigate him anymore!" ”
"Well, in order to celebrate the awakening of the future genius God Wu Tianming, Su Ming, how about we go to have a big dinner at noon! I'll treat you at your expense! Or you pay for my treat! ”
While speaking, Wu Tianming couldn't help but pull Su Ming's arm: "I know a store!" Superb! Guaranteed to eat it once and you'll fall in love there! ”
"Wait, wait, I always feel like there's something wrong......" Su Ming's face was full of confusion.
……
At the same time, on another floor of the teaching building, two figures walked out of a classroom, and when the students next to them identified the identities of the two people, they consciously retreated to the side and made way for them.
"It's ...... Gai Ting! How did he come to find the new genius Lin Yu! ”
"Wow, they all seem to be legendary seeded players!"
"The big guy is haunted, and the new ones are scattered!"
"These two people are together, and it feels like something is going to happen!"
The students who retreated to the surroundings couldn't help but whisper under the impetus of curiosity.
A girl's eyes lit up: "Gai Ting is so strong, Lin Yu is so handsome, if the two of them ...... Cute and black-bellied attack...... Ahhh ”
The classmates next to him who heard this sentence suddenly all had black lines on their faces, and silently distanced themselves from this girl......
Gai Ting and Lin Yu turned a blind eye to the gaze next to them, and walked into the elevator all the way unimpeded.
In the elevator room where no one else interfered, Gai Ting smiled and stretched out his right hand to Lin Yu: "Brother Lin, this time in the Star School Competition, I hope you will raise your hand a little, everyone is happy to cooperate, right......?"
"Haha, where is it, you are a senior, I am not familiar with this life, if you meet it at that time, please give me a lot of help!" Lin Yu also smiled and stretched out his hand to shake it.
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, I just know that there is a very high-quality hotel in the school, I wonder what Brother Lin has to arrange at noon today?"
"Then the natural guest is as he pleases, and it is all up to the elder brother to arrange."
Of course, Lin Yu knew what Gai Ting meant, and after a Tai Chi fight, the two quickly reached a consensus.
……
When Su Ming came to the store in Wu Tianming's mouth, he was also a little surprised.
I really didn't expect that there would be such a "special" hotel in a place like a school.
I have the impression that the school cafeteria, even if it is a small private restaurant in the university, is at most the size of a roadside food stall.
But what appears in front of Su Ming now can be called a luxury hotel that can meet the Michelin specifications in the previous life!
"Hehe, welcome to 'How to Eat' and enjoy a different culinary experience." Wu Tianming took the first step to walk in front of Su Ming and made an inviting gesture, smiling and reading out the contents of the signboard above the gate.
"How to eat...... This name is a bit interesting......" Su Ming raised his head and glanced at the two big characters that had been gilded and polished above, and raised his eyebrows slightly curiously.
Entering the hotel, unlike the noisy "lobby" area arranged for the performance of ordinary hotels, the spacious and chic lobby is very quiet, surrounded by various decorations, and the soft light of the chandelier hanging from the ceiling gives people a very comfortable feeling.
The two waitresses in costume at the door bowed slightly to Su Ming and the others politely, and greeted them with a smile.
"Hello two gentlemen, welcome to the way to eat, do you have any reservation records?"
Obviously, this hotel should belong to the type of hospitality that is small in scale and has a high standard of cuisine.
Wu Tianming took out a blue card from his wallet with a big grin: "I don't have an appointment, but I have a membership card, I can book an empty room now, right?" ”
I don't know why, the moment Su Ming saw the goods next to him and took out the card, a sense of foreboding came to his heart......
If nothing else, there is no need to guess the origin of this card.
The waiter maintained a professional smile: "Of course you can, there is just the last private room left at noon today, the two of you came at the right time, please ...... with me"
"Wait a minute!"
Behind Su Ming and Wu Tianming, a slightly hurried male voice suddenly came.
The two of them turned their heads to look at each other in unison.
Before Su Ming could distinguish the person, two exclamations rang out from Wu Tianming and the man who had just spoken out to stop him.
"Gai Ting?!" "Wu Tianming?!"
"Why are you here?"
The two of them were surprised in unison.
