Inside the VIP room, many young faces appeared.
Their average age was just over twenty, but their life force remained above the baseline of ninety-five points.
It can be foreseen that in the next few years, these teenagers, crowned with the title of "geniuses," will be the most dazzling specialized level in Heng Province.
"You don’t know him?"
"This guy took the first place without even showing up, too low-key, first time seeing him in person!"
"Tsk tsk, looks even younger than I do..."
Over the span of about ten minutes, around twenty people entered the VIP room.
Their eyes unanimously turned towards Qin Shi, who was holding a water cup and talking with the big guy, Yan Ren.
This scene caught the eyes of the returning Secretary Huo, who couldn’t help but freeze for a moment.
A phrase popped into his mind: "Stars shining brightly, the scorching sun crossing the sky."
It seems the minister made the right bet.
Mr. Qin has already begun to show his edges.
Holvren, with a smile on his lips, walked up to Qin Shi and said:
"The contestants from other cities’ top hundred competitions all came over today, the registration process took a while.
In about fifteen minutes, the Governor’s Mansion’s special car will be outside the airport, we’ll head straight to the National Guest House for check-in."
Qin Shi crumpled the paper cup and tossed it into the trash can at his feet, then said:
"Sorry to trouble you, Brother Huo."
Xia Hong and Xia Ying, two sisters, huddled nearby, whispering:
"Sister, it’s the National Guest House of Central City!"
Xia Ying’s eyes sparkled.
"Don’t look so hopeless! Have you never stayed in a hotel in your life?" Thɪs chapter is updated by NoveIＦire.net
Xia Hong looked disappointed.
"I just checked online, the National Guest House in Central City is not open to the public, the dining standards are pretty high, they even provide minerals."
Xia Ying pouted as she spoke.
"We’re lucky to be benefiting from Mr. Qin. Normally, only the champion gets this kind of treatment."
After listening to Xia Ying, Xia Hong also felt pleasantly surprised, looking forward to staying at the place open only to high-ranking administrative officials and military dignitaries.
"I’m so envious! Brother Qin, I can only stay at the hotel arranged by the Central City Education Department."
Yan Ren scratched his head; even the most luxurious hotels could not compare to the National Guest House near the Governor’s Mansion.
From security to service, it was undoubtedly the best in Heng Province.
"No worries, if you want to look around inside, I can get you a temporary room card later, but it’s one-time use, only valid for twenty-four hours."
Yan Ren rubbed his hands excitedly and laughed heartily:
"Thank you, Brother Qin! If you ever come to Zhou City, make sure to let me know, I’ll have my dad give you a good time!
Though Zhou City isn’t as bustling as Central City, it has its own charm, like hunting in the enclosures, camping, barbecuing, and stuff.
My dad has even created a large enclosure modeled after the Pasture World, it’ll be open for business in a few years."
Being the son of a wealthy landowner sure is great!
Qin Shi’s lips twitched, curiously asking:
"Yan, when you say ’large,’ how big are you talking?"
"Over two hundred thousand square kilometers. We bought some wasteland through bidding, fenced it with electronic barriers, then started grazing and planting trees there."
Yan Ren’s tone was nonchalant, as if it was just some unused farmland in the countryside.
Xia Hong and Xia Ying exchanged glances, coming to the same conclusion.
The vast mountainous areas inhabited by their Gu Clan were not even that large.
"If I get the chance, I’ll come to broaden my horizons."
Qin Shi nodded, finding Yan Ren’s personality quite agreeable; he seemed like someone he could be friends with.
"You absolutely must come! The beast milk we produce at home is something you’ll want more of once you’ve tasted it! Paired with roasted meat, it’s unbeatable!"
Yan Ren enthusiastically introduced.
"Mr. Yan, can I come too?"
While they were chatting, Qin Ge, who hadn’t left their side, suddenly chimed in.
His delicate face showed an innocent smile, making him seem harmless and approachable.
Yan Ren glanced at him and said:
"But you’ll have to pay, buy a ticket."
He drew a clear line.
Brother Qin was a friend, so free of charge.
Qin Ge was a stranger, so he had to earn money from him.
"Alright, thank you."
Claiming to be from Yan City, Qin Ge smiled at Qin Shi again and said:
"Mr. Qin, could you give me a room card for the National Guest House? I’m really curious to check it out."
Qin Shi frowned slightly, was this seemingly well-behaved kid actually a socially invasive person?
He shook his head and politely refused:
"Sorry, there’s only one temporary room card."
For some reason, the divine sensitivity brought by the Inner World made Qin Shi feel this boy named Qin Ge was very unusual, but he couldn’t pinpoint the issue.
It was like having a tiny fishbone stuck in his throat, very unpleasant.
"It’s a pity to miss such a great opportunity."
Qin Ge smiled shyly and finally walked away sensibly.
Qin Shi called out to Xia Hong.
"Yes, Mr. Qin called me? What’s the matter, something you want to talk about?"
Like a rabbit with its ears perked up, Xia Hong immediately got up and dashed to Qin Shi’s side.
Sitting in a massage chair enjoying herself, Xia Ying looked at her hopeless sister.
She couldn’t help but sigh inwardly:
"What has become of my sister."
Qin Shi walked to a corner by the wall and softly asked:
"Miss Xia, your Gu Clan members have extraordinary intuition. Did you sense anything unusual about Qin Ge?"
Xia Hong was quite clever, instead of looking directly at Qin Ge when she heard this, she inconspicuously scanned the room, her gaze brushing over like a dragonfly skimming the water.
Then she picked up a paper cup, using getting water as a cover, and discreetly approached Qin Ge to observe him closely.
"It’s hard to see through him. His life force is very calm, even a bit weak, but his overall aura is steady, like a flowing stream."
Xia Hong recalled in detail. Gu Clan members had a unique sensitivity to "life" in the natural world, and she was especially outstanding, better than most of her clansmen.
