Struggle in the Steam Age

Chapter 138: After-match banquet

The bonfire party of the contestants lasted a whole night. Many people took advantage of this opportunity to meet new friends and reached a lot of agreements in private. Just as the sky was getting dark, Lawrence began to feel a sense of rejection of his surroundings.

  

   "Are you going to leave?" Lawrence thought that at this moment someone had already begun to be enveloped by a group of red and blue light, then the light disappeared, and the people inside disappeared. .

  

"It's time to set off now." Lawrence also felt the pressure on his body was increasing. Sure enough, when the pressure reached a peak, the same red and blue light appeared on his body and then enveloped him. Up the whole body.

  

  唰... Lawrence once again felt the feeling of oppression and suffocation when entering this space, and then a feeling of weightlessness. But fortunately, this time the landing point no longer appeared on a high place tens of meters above the sea. In just an instant, his feet fell on a solid ground.

  

   In less than a second, the space has completely changed. All the fire and woods in front of me just now disappeared, and the platform and the space door when I entered here appeared again.

  

   is surrounded by contestants huddled together, but it looks a lot more chaotic than before. On the periphery of this platform are a group of staff from the event organizers.

  

   The early morning sun shines on this platform, turning the milky white mist created by the collision of the magma and flame below the platform into gold, making the entire platform as beautiful as the kingdom of a certain god.

  

  Of course, this kind of contrast between light and darkness, and the sudden change between different spaces makes many contestants not very comfortable. Many people even have a feeling of being separated from the world, especially newcomers like Lawrence who participated in the astral travel for the first time have clearly shown a slight discomfort with this time-space transition.

  

  The organizers of the game also knew this, so they waited there for a few minutes. It wasn't until everyone was almost recovering that the highest consul of the New Lufthansa Republic who was the host before stood on the suspended platform again and began to speak.

  

   "First of all, on behalf of all the organizers of this competition, I congratulate you participants on your triumphant victory." Through the magic brooch on his body, the Supreme Archon made his voice spread throughout the platform.

  

   Wow...Everyone on the platform, whether it is the contestants or the staff, clapped together. Suddenly broke the extremely embarrassing silence just now. At the same time, the loud applause brought the contestants back to the main world.

  

   After three minutes of applause, the Grand Archon began to announce the results of the competition. Just as Lawrence thought before, his team won the championship with a super high score of 3,514, and opened the second place with more than 2,000 points, setting the largest between the first and second places in this game in the past 100 years. The score is poor.

  

   Everyone's cheers were like ocean waves one after another, extremely enthusiastic, and even suddenly overwhelmed the loud noise made when the magma under the platform collided with the sea. This is because Lawrence saved the lives of most of the contestants before, and it can be said that he won the first place.

  

   "Now, I announce that the Lawrence August team from the White Eagle Federation has won the championship of the Black Iron Trial." When everyone was about to vent their enthusiasm, the Supreme Archon continued.

  

"They will get a medicated bath prepared for them by the organizing committee. 360 copies of magic food for a whole year, the bronze stage gives priority to the opportunity to use each church meditation room, one professional-grade magic item per person, and Choose one of the several major professional associations in the New World to train up to the peak of the bronze level."

  

"In addition to these, the White Commonwealth will also give them a black iron grade of the White Eagle Federal Library... Wait, the reward has been increased, it is a bronze grade loan card, and each person specially allocated from the profit of this plane The annual 1,500 White Eagle first annuity. At the same time, a bust will be carved for each of them on the outer wall of the Federal Memorial."

  

"It's so rich." "It's a bit jealous-but I think they deserve it." "That's right, if they can't get these rewards, all of us here No one has the face to take their own prize."

  

   Hearing that the grand consul was reciting the prizes Lawrence and the others were about to win, the atmosphere on the platform immediately became hot, and the prizes of other teams that he recited later successfully pushed the atmosphere on the platform to a new climax.

  

"Well, although I still have a lot to say to everyone. But I think you should miss those modern and civilized lifestyles after a whole week of wild life. Now we have prepared the bathroom and a big meal. The meal awaits you, just where you parked the carriage when you came."

  

   After finishing talking, the Grand Archon pointed to the direction of the island on the other side of the peninsula, and then the staff stepped forward and guided everyone to leave the platform along the path on the peninsula.

  

In this process, every participant seemed to be a little eager to try. After all, when entering the competition space before, everyone tried their best to use the little space in the space bag to install something useful in the competition. Naturally, there will not be much. Space is reserved for non-essential daily necessities.

  

   So everyone is looking forward to taking a good shower and then having a big meal. Under the guidance of the staff, the noisy crowd came directly to the previous parking lot.

  

   The current parking lot is no longer a bare stone ground. Three huge tents have been erected on the open space. Just listen to the staff shouting, "The blue tent on the left is the male bathroom, and the pink tent on the right is the female bathroom. The temporary space bag you carry is now given to you, and dirty clothes can be put in directly. Come out after the shower. There are cabinets, everyone’s cabinets have your names and photos, and the cabinets have a full set of clothes prepared for you. These are also given to you by the organizing committee."

  

   "It's very thoughtful." As the crowd walked into the bathroom, Lawrence thought that the temporary space bag had a lifespan of three days, just enough for everyone to take their trophies home.

  

  Men generally take a bath faster than women, it has nothing to do with whether they are extraordinary. After taking a shower for 15 minutes, Lawrence found his own costume in the dressing room.

  

"This is too exaggerated." Looking at the big dress in front of him, from the high-top silk hat to the exquisite handmade leather shoes, Lawrence felt quite uneasy, because he was in the tailor shop on Lime Tree Street. I have seen similar ones, and a set is about 160 yuan.

  

   But think about it, now it’s the future elites of the entire New World. For the organizers, this luxury is no different from consumables in their eyes.

  

   Half an hour later ~lightnovelpub.net~ Contestants like Raqqa, who are naturally slower to take a bath than humans with only hair on their heads, also finished the bath and sat in their seats, and the banquet began.

  

   Several large long tables were placed in the middle of the tent that was used as a banquet hall. On the tables were piles of densely packed food, steaming hot and overflowing with meat. Considering that the extraordinary people are born to eat more than ordinary people in terms of eating, so the choice of dishes for this banquet is to choose a large amount of food.

  

"Okay, let's not say anything. Everyone starts to put it." The big consul sitting on the small table at the top of the long table didn't have much nonsense. He directly announced the beginning of the banquet, and immediately everyone ate. . Everyone ate and chatted about the content of the game and various gossips.

  

  Different from the quiet and elegant banquets of the nobles, the banquets of the extraordinary are often very lively. Lawrence found that many extraordinary people can quickly eat a large amount of food in an elegant posture while having a proper conversation with friends next to them.

  

   Just as the banquet was about to end, a staff member suddenly walked over to Lawrence and said that the competition committee had something to look for him. Lawrence immediately spoke to a few friends next to him when he heard the words, and then heard the staff leave the banquet hall.
