1260 Are You Scared?
Hasol frowned and looked at Chu Nan for a while before slowly speaking.
“If I’m not wrong, you mean to let me become your companion in the Garden Hunting Assembly?”
“That’s right.” Chu Nan smiled and nodded, “How is it? Are you interested?”
Hasol frowned even more, and even the beard on his mouth frowned.
“Didn’t you read the rules seriously? For every additional participant in the team, not only will the points obtained by the team be divided equally according to the number of participants, but they will also be punished additionally. For every additional participant, the points will correspondingly be deducted by 10%. Under such rules, why do you still want me to be your companion? Can’t you find him?”
“You can say that.” Chu Nan shrugged as if he did not mind, “I indeed haven’t found a suitable candidate in the past few days, but I’m certain that you didn’t find one at all, right?”
Hasol was silent. Although he did not nod, he clearly admitted Chu Nan’s guess.
“Look, I knew that you like to be alone and are unwilling to form a team with others. However, this time, the royal family of the Declan Empire clearly told us that the next Garden Hunting Assembly is very dangerous. It’s easier to complete only with powerful companions. Otherwise, you won’t even be able to protect your life. I can’t be bothered to find those unfamiliar people, so after thinking about it, I might as well find you directly. After all, we’ve cooperated a few times in the past and are already quite familiar with each other, right?”
Chu Nan continued to persuade Hasol, but he was unmoved. He thought for a moment and asked, “You’ve always been alone in the first stage. Why did you think of finding a companion now? Could it be that you’re afraid?”
“If you think so, so be it.” Chu Nan smiled, “Then are you interested now? Our cooperation was quite tacit previously. I believe that with your strength, you won’t hold me back.”
“I’m not interested.” Hasol only thought for a moment before rejecting forcefully. He turned around and left.
However, as soon as he moved, he was stopped by Chu Nan.
“Wait, I came to find you for another matter.” As Chu Nan spoke, he took out a very traditional paper single page and stuffed it into Hasol’s hand, “Take this back and read it carefully before considering my suggestion.”
Hasol frowned and looked at the piece of paper in his hand. He hesitated for a moment but did not open it. Instead, he turned around and left again.
“Hey, there are still four days until the team list is officially confirmed. You can slowly consider it.”
Chu Nan raised his voice and shouted from behind, but Hasol had already disappeared into the depths of the alley and his figure completely disappeared.
Beside him, Yang Xirui and the others were stunned.
It seemed that Chu Nan had spent a lot of effort to contact Hasol. In the end, this guy actually rejected his suggestion so cleanly and did not give him any chance to persuade him. It was really unexpected.
“About that… Chu Nan, why do you want this Hasol to be your companion? I’ve also studied the rules he mentioned just now. He’s right. If you’re also participants in a team, you’ll suffer a lot more than finding people other than participants.” After Hasol disappeared, Yang Xirui asked curiously.
“It’s a loss, but compared to finding those unfamiliar fellows who I can’t be sure are reliable, I’d rather endure some losses and find stronger companions I can trust. This will make it easier for me.”
“Hmm… it’s not bad to think so…” Yang Xirui nodded, then asked worriedly, “Then what should we do now? He rejected you so bluntly. I’m afraid he won’t have the chance.”
“That’s not necessarily true.” Chu Nan looked at the place where Hasol had disappeared and revealed a rather mysterious smile. Then, he waved at Yang Xirui and the three assistants, “Let’s go to the next place.”
Yang Xirui and the other three looked at each other and could only follow obediently.
This time, Chu Nan did not continue to wander around the city. Instead, he called for a rental floating shuttle and carried the five of them to a certain place on the northeast outskirts of the city.
Twenty minutes later, the floating shuttle stopped outside an extremely large courtyard.
Yang Xirui and the others followed Chu Nan out of the floating shuttle. When they looked up, they discovered that there was a very ancient wooden sign hanging outside the courtyard. On it was a name engraved in the official words of the Declan Empire.
Translated by his personal terminal, it meant “Dark Forest Dao Arena”.
“What are you doing here?” Yang Xirui asked Chu Nan in surprise, “Could it be that you plan to choose a suitable companion from here? I feel that… with your level, it’s very difficult to find a suitable companion from here, right?”
“No, I don’t plan to find companions from here. The reason why I came here is for you…” Chu Nan pointed at Yang Xirui and her three assistants and directly pointed at the camera, “Prepared with the audience. I brought everyone to see what the Dao Arena of the Declan Empire is like today and see what the martial artists of the Declan Empire are like. I believe you should be very interested in these.”
“In that case, you’ll go down yourself later?” Yang Xirui immediately became happy.
Although he did not do anything for a day and was enough to satisfy the audience in the federation, Chu Nan’s identity was a martial artist after all. If he could fight others and even fight the martial artists of the Declan Empire, it would naturally make the effect of the program better.
“It depends on the situation, but I’ll most likely have to attack myself.”
Chu Nan smiled and led the way to the entrance of the Dao Arena.
Halfway through, Yang Xirui suddenly recalled something.
“Wait, Chu Nan, is the media allowed to film here? This is a Dao Arena.”
“Don’t worry, I’ve checked before I came. This Dao Arena is open to the public and can be entered and exited at will. No one is allowed to film unless a martial artist has made an agreement not to let outsiders see it. However, since they chose to come here, most of them will accept this rule. Therefore, they can basically film as they please after entering. No one will mind,” Chu Nan explained.
“Oh, that’s good.” Yang Xirui nodded and was relieved, “Speaking of which, Chu Nan, you’re very prepared. You even know this rule. This should be your first time on a planet.”
“Heh, it’s not like I didn’t do anything a few days ago.”
Chu Nan strode to the door. As expected, no one stopped him. Many people were bustling in and out. Only a few people saw Yang Xirui and the others behind him and cast curious gazes, but they did not pay much attention to him.
As soon as he entered the door, he discovered that the space behind the door was actually much wider than it looked from the outside. Countless martial arts venues that had been divided into small pieces were arranged. At this moment, two martial artists were fighting intensely in every venue.
Chu Nan brought Yang Xirui and the others into the venue as he casually pointed at the ongoing battle in the arena and gave his analysis.
He was powerful and had a deep understanding of cultivation methods. Moreover, he had a powerful data ability and could observe every battle extremely carefully. His analysis was naturally extremely accurate. Coupled with the fact that he had already cultivated a portion of his ability in this aspect when he was shopping in the city, he was naturally familiar with explaining and analyzing it now. He easily pointed out the core vital points.
Although Yang Xirui and her three assistants were not powerful martial artists, they had been in the Martial Arts World Channel for a long time and their understanding of this was much stronger than ordinary people. Naturally, they were convinced and admired Chu Nan even more.
However, just because the few of them sounded comfortable did not mean that the others were happy.
Halfway through, a low shout suddenly sounded beside them.
“Where did this kid come from? He dares to brag shamelessly here!”
