"Let's go, it's over!" The old man in mink fur stood up with his arm around the waist of the woman beside him and walked out.
"Where are we going now, Honey?" The beauty asked.
"To the capital. If we go to this place, we can almost make it to the start of the next good show." The old man said with a smile.
"Next scene? Does it look good? Is it better than this one? " The beauty asked.
"Of course, the next scene will be very good to watch!" The old man smiled as he wiped the beauty's butt before walking away.
In the middle of the battling platform, Xu Taiping had already gotten the qualification to participate in the Asian Regional Selection. For some reason, he suddenly felt something and looked in the old man's direction.
However, the old man had already disappeared. When Xu Taiping looked over, all he could see were the backs of many strangers.
The audience began to leave the stage.
Today's preliminaries were officially over.
This was destined to be a knock-out match that would be recorded in the annals of history.
The most highly regarded, with the strongest battle power, Nangong Longqing was defeated by the weakest, Xu Taiping.
At the beginning, Xu Taiping gave him a punch, which made everyone think that Xu Taiping would explode. But later on, Xu Taiping was beaten into a miserable state, and after that, the patience of the dragon was worn down by Xu Taiping's body that would not fall down no matter how much Xu Taiping beat it up, so he could only admit defeat. Luckily, Xu Taiping had beaten up Xu Taiping in the end, which gave everyone some expectations for Xu Taiping's next Asian selection competition.
After all, the Asian region already had a God of Heaven with 84,000 fighting strength and a Jin Zhong Zhao with 77,000 fighting strength. Amongst the two of them, the God of Heaven should be able to stand for the Asian region, and that leaves only two slots. These two slots were won by the people from so many countries in Asia, so no one could guarantee that the Chinese would be able to snatch one of the two slots.
Everyone was very nervous, because they didn't want to see no one represent Asia in the end.
Xu Taiping, the One Conferred Lord, and the Blind Swordmaster all felt a lot of pressure on them.
"The Asian region's selection competition will begin in one month, which is the tenth day of the first month. The selection competition will be held in this arena!" Zhou Weidao, Xu Taiping, and a Conferred Knight, the three blind men said.
"This ground isn't good." Xu Taiping pointed at the floor, which was now riddled with holes, and said, "The intensity should at least double."
"Sigh, we originally thought that this would be enough, but who would've thought!" Zhou Weidao sighed emotionally.
"If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving first." One Lord Heng said.
"You don't want to eat dinner before leaving?" Zhou Weidao asked.
"Everything is busy." High Lord Yiheng shook his head and turned to leave.
"I'm leaving too." After saying this, the blind man turned around and left as well.
"I'm not eating either. I'm going to the capital." Xu Taiping said.
"This... Guild Leader, tonight is a celebration feast. If the three representatives of China do not participate, then wouldn't it be bad? " Zhou Weidao asked.
"It's fine, as long as you guys have a good meal." I'll go to the infirmary first. We'll talk later if there's anything you need! " With that, Xu Taiping turned and left.
"Busy people!" Zhou Weidao shook his head helplessly.
Within the infirmary of the martial arts competition.
Xu Taiping saw Lin You Ran and the rest who were all done with their injuries.
"Doctor, are they all right?" Xu Taiping asked the doctor.
"Everything is fine." The doctor shook his head and said, "Just some superficial wounds."
"That's good!" Xu Taiping heaved a sigh of relief, then looked at Lin You Ran and asked, "Where did all of you come from?"
"Director Xu, we're all students of Jiangyuan University!" Lin You Ran said.
"Oh? A student of Jiangyuan University? Then why did you come here? " Xu Taiping asked.
"We're all from Director Xu's official fan club!" Lin You Ran said.
"The official fan club?" I've heard of this before. I've even seen it on Weibo! " Xu Taiping said.
"It's me. That Weibo account you saw was mine. Director Xu, you even gave me 100,000 yuan for it!" Lin You Ran said excitedly.
"Oh? That's you? " Xu Taiping asked in surprise. He never thought that he would be able to see the users of his fan club's Weibo.
"That's right, Director Xu. I saw the money you gave me that day as well! I'm too excited, Director Xu!" Lin You Ran said.
"Haha, what's there to be excited about? I only have two hands and one head, don't I? "Oh right, what's your name again? I'm sorry, but I forgot to ask when I saw how happy you were!" Xu Taiping said.
"My name is Lin You Ran!"
"My name is..."
A few of the fans quickly told Xu Taiping their names.
Oh, Lin You Ran! I'll remember you. What major are you in Jiangyuan University? " Xu Taiping asked.
"I'm a computer major. I'm mainly researching artificial intelligence. I'm a graduate student in artificial intelligence!" Lin You Ran said.
"Artificial intelligence?" Hearing Lin You Ran's words, Xu Taiping raised an eyebrow and asked, "How is your research going?"
"This... Not bad, now that we have developed a low-level AI, my life goal is to develop a high-class AI that will serve all of humanity! "Just like how Director Xu is helping others to make us happy!" Lin You Ran said seriously.
"Don't talk about me like that. Most of the time, it's my responsibility to do this. How about this, I still have some matters to attend to and will be heading to the capital. I will arrange for a carriage to take you guys back to Jiang Yuan City." Xu Taiping asked.
"No need, no need. Director Xu, we can just take a taxi back. Go back to work!" Lin You Ran said.
"Since you came for me, I will naturally send you back. You don't have to be courteous to me, I will immediately arrange a car to pick you up!" Xu Taiping said as he picked up his phone to call the people he was working on.
Within ten minutes, a luxurious car stopped outside of the martial arts arena.
Xu Taiping personally escorted Lin You Ran and the others to their cars, then watched them leave before heading towards the airport.
In the car.
"Director Xu really doesn't have any airs at all!" Someone said.
"Yeah, I thought that now that Director Xu is so rich and has such a high status, he would definitely be different from before. Unexpectedly, he'll still be the same as before!" Another person said.
"Of course. Who's Director Xu?" "There's a fundamental difference between him and other people. Other people floating around whenever they're in a higher position than Director Xu!" Lin You Ran said proudly.
The bus headed towards Jiangyuan City. For the people on the bus, their trip to Haihai City was full of harvest.
On the other side, Xu Taiping also drove to the airport.
"Lin You Ran who studies artificial intelligence …" Xu Taiping looked out the window, his mind was preoccupied with Lin You Ran from before.
Russell's controllability was too poor, so Xu Taiping did not dare to provide him with too much hardware support right now. If he could find some experts in artificial intelligence, he would still have to rely on them.
When Xu Taiping was chatting with Lin You Ran, he asked Lin You Ran a few questions. Lin You Ran was working with a whole team on artificial intelligence research. If this team had the ability, maybe … There was also the possibility of cooperation.
Just based on Russell's ability in the internet, in the future, things like colliding with an airplane would definitely not happen to Xu Taiping. As long as the plane dared to collide with him, Russell would directly black out the plane's system, then how would the plane be able to collide with him?
Xu Taiping looked at the watch on his wrist, Russell was currently hiding inside.
Xu Taiping suddenly thought of the novels he had read in the past. The rings and necklaces of the protagonist would always contain the soul of a powerful figure, leading the protagonist to become stronger. This watch of his could also be counted as something like this. He really might be the legendary main character.
Xu Taiping was lost in his thoughts as he arrived at the airport. Soon, he boarded a plane to Beijing.
At the same time, somewhere in the Undersea City.
One Lord Heng, Zhang Yuande and the others were all gathered here.
"Ancestor, we have already locked onto the location of the Cold Leaf Sect. Do we need to immediately launch an attack?" Zhang Yuande asked.
"Activate." "This organization should not exist in this world!"
"Yes sir!" Zhang Yuande nodded, then picked up his phone and made a call.
"Attack the Cold Leaf Sect!" Zhang Yuande said.
"Yes sir!"
Night quietly descended.
An attack aimed at the Cold Leaves Sect was about to sound the horn. At this time, Zhang Yuanqing, the strongest fighter of the Cold Leaves Sect, was still in the undersea city. He did not know that the Cold Leaves Sect had been exposed under the watch of the Wudang Sect.
8 PM.
The plane punctually landed at Beijing Airport. Then, Xu Taiping drove towards the Zhao Family.
At the same time, the Zhao Family welcomed tonight's guests.
A dozen men and women wearing suits walked into the Zhao Family under Zhao Biqian's lead.
"Housekeeper Zhao, the Zhao Family is really huge!" The man beside Zhao Buqian said as he looked around.
"Fortunately, this was accumulated over the past hundred years by the Zhao Family." Zhao Bi said with a hollow laugh.
"The Zhao Family is the real famous family in China!" The person beside Zhao Buqian said.
"Mr. Lindbergh, there are quite a few of your Forbes staff here this time." Zhao Bi said with a hollow laugh.
"As there are a lot of things to assess, we've brought experts from various fields. There aren't many of them, just a dozen, that's normal!" a man beside Zhao Buqian said.
This man was known as Lin Peter, the general manager of the Asian region of Forbes.
The group of people chatted as they walked towards the Zhao Family treasury.
Old Tie, set a small goal first.
