Chapter 349 Star Alchemy Competition

Seeing Liu Zhe's shocked expression, Bruno was not surprised. There were 137 empires participating in the competition. The scale was indeed terrifying. From the beginning of the preliminary round, at least hundreds of thousands or even millions of alchemists would participate!

The scene fell silent for a moment, until Liu Zhe's expression eased, Bruno said again: "The Star Alchemy Competition is held every three years. This is an event hosted by our Alchemy Guild. The scope of participation almost covers the various empires on the Eternal Demon Continent. You are very lucky and have a very accurate choice of the opportunity to appear, because this year is exactly the year to hold the Star Alchemy Competition, and the preliminary round will be held ten days later."

Seeing Bruno's raised mouth, Liu Zhe suddenly said, "So that's it. It seems that you have been planning to let me participate in the Star Alchemy Competition from the very beginning?"

As such a major event as the Star Alchemy Competition, as Bruno, it is naturally impossible that it was not until the time of the event that he learned about was held in recent days. Obviously, since the first time he met him, he had already made up his mind to let himself participate in this game!

At that time, Liu Zhe felt something was wrong. No matter how terrifying his talent was, Bruno's attitude that day was too enthusiastic. With his status, would he need this?

Liu Zhe did not understand the worldly ways. He guessed that the reason why Bruno kept giving him benefits was that he was obviously soliciting was definitely because his existence was valuable to him.

Seeing Liu Zhe's relieved expression, Bruno immediately knew that his thoughts had been guessed. Bruno did not hide it at this moment and said bluntly: "Little guy, you are smart. Indeed, I prepared to let you participate in this competition from the beginning. I don't hide it from you. Our Lieyang area has been ranked last for several sessions. Just this matter has made me feel a little unable to raise my head in the Alchemy Guild in recent years. Not to mention those senior figures, even the general leaders of some small areas dare to sarcastically secretly. It can only be said that in the development of alchemy, our Lieyang Empire is indeed a bit behind, and not even as big as some small empires."

Bruno's face was bitter, and the Alchemy Guild's organization spread throughout the continent, so there will naturally be some comparisons in each empire area. Although Bruno seems to be the general manager of a region, in the entire Alchemy Guild, in addition to the title of a second-level alchemy master, he can also show his glory in the entire Alchemy Guild, once he talks about the Alchemy Guild in the Lieyang area, it will be overshadowed and even become a laughing stock.

It is undoubtedly a very embarrassing thing to be a medium-sized empire, but it still loses to some small empires in the development of alchemy.

Thinking of the performance of the Lieyang Empire in previous years, Bruno couldn't help but smile bitterly. However, when his eyes looked at Liu Zhe, the haze on Bruno's face suddenly dissipated, and he smiled and said, "Hehe, but this year is different. With you, the lucky star, appears, even if we lose in several other projects, the pharmacy project will definitely win impressive results! Those people will definitely not dare to look down on our Lieyang area anymore."

"I haven't responded yet. President Bruno, you seem to have decided to participate in the competition for me." Liu Zhe chuckled. Hearing that, Bruno stared at Liu Zhe with his wise eyes, with a confident tone, and smiled, "I believe you will participate in the competition, right?"

After being guessed by Bruno, Liu Zhe nodded and simply admitted: "This is true."

In the Star Alchemy Competition, there are a total of 137 super competitions participated by the Empire. As Bruno said, this is a good opportunity for Liu Zhe to soar into the sky. As long as he can show off his outstanding ranking in the Star Alchemy Competition, fame, status, power... will naturally follow.

For Liu Zhe, who is now eager for status, this is an opportunity that cannot be missed!

"Haha." Seeing Liu Zhe nodding, Bruno immediately laughed out loud.

Liu Zhe cared about it, "I heard you, is the development of our Lieyang Empire in alchemy very backward than other empires?"

Alchemy is actually a manifestation of magic technology. In Liu Zhe's opinion, the magic technology of the Lieyang Empire is not behind at all. When it comes to convenience, it is not even inferior to the earth technology in the previous life. How can such advanced magic technology fall behind?

"Well..." Bruno looked embarrassed and said in a difficult manner: "In the development of alchemy, our Lieyang Empire is not called backward. However, according to the standards of a medium-sized empire, the alchemy development of our Lieyang Empire can only be said to be barely passed. Although it can surpass some small empires in this aspect, there is really no confidence to speak among medium-sized empires... let alone those large empires, or even super empires."

Sighing, Tronde also said, "Vice President Shiel, you probably have never been to other empires. If you see the magic props used by other empires, you will know the disadvantages of our Lieyang Empire in alchemy. In fact, this can also be seen from our Lieyang Empire's unfamiliarity with metal minerals. Many magic props with magical functions require the use of rare metal minerals and can be completed through special processing."

"You may not even imagine that you have told you this now. Anyway, after you have been in the Alchemy Guild for a long time, you will naturally realize that the world is so great that you are not what you see." After a breath of relief, Bruno said again: "At present, you only need to know about the Star Alchemy Competition. When you have obtained the qualification to represent the Empire, it will not be too late to discuss the strengths of other empires. Of course, with your strength, you will definitely be able to qualify in the preliminary round."

"Yeah." Liu Zhe nodded. Some things cannot be described in words. Only by seeing them with your own eyes can you understand them. After the topic just now, Liu Zhe changed his mouth and asked, "What preparations do I need to make in the preliminary round ten days?"

After hearing Liu Zhe's question, Bruno twisted his white beard, thought for a while, and said, "I will let Tronde handle the competition procedures for you, so there is actually nothing you need to prepare. As long as you come to participate, it's fine. By the way, the preliminary round is located in the Alchemy Guild in various cities. Since you belong to the Jinhua Branch, you will be held at the Jinhua Branch. Only after passing the preliminary round can you be eligible to go to the imperial capital to conduct the final selection competition."

As soon as Bruno's words fell, Trond immediately said: "President Bruno, you can rest assured about the participation procedures. I guessed that there would be such a day, so I have already issued an application for Vice President Sir's qualification to participate in the competition. According to the normal process, it will pass the review within today."

Trond's eyes were bent into the moon, looking like he was trying to please Bruno.

Faced with Trond, Bruno did not have such a good attitude. At this time, he just nodded and praised him lukewarmly: "Yeah, the efficiency of work is good."

"You've been too rewarded for a small matter!" However, although it was just a lukewarm praise, it also made Tronde very happy at this moment.

Ignoring the joyful Tronde, Bruño returned to Liu Zhe and said, "Since you have confirmed to participate in the competition, the next time we meet will always be in the imperial capital."

Liu Zhe smiled and said, "I have to wait for me to pass the preliminary round first."

"Haha." Bruno showed an undeniable smile. If even Liu Zhe, a level 5 alchemist, could not pass the preliminary round, then there would probably be no representative of the entire Lieyang Empire to participate.

...

After that, Bruno talked to Liu Zhe for a few more words. Not long after, he got up and left, saying goodbye to Liu Zhe and Tronde. After all, he is the general manager of the Lieyang area. His daily affairs are complicated and there is not much time to waste.

After Bruno left, only Liu Zhe and Tronde were left in the room, the two presidents of the Jinhua branch and vice presidents.

"Vice President Shiel, although the news of your appointment has not been officially announced to the public, within the guild, you are indeed the vice president of our Jinhua Branch. Why don't I take you to see the vice president's room now?" Tronde's tone was a bit flattering. He knew very well that although the young man in front of him was only nineteen years old, his future was limitless. It is definitely the wisest decision to get along with him now.

Liu Zhe thought for a while and responded, "I don't think this is needed for now. President Bruno also said that although I am the vice president now, I still have to deal with your daily affairs. Besides, I am still a student of Tianyou Academy. I am afraid I don't have much chance to come here, so naturally there is no need for that room."

"Okay, since you said that, then the matter in the room is aside." Simply throwing the matter aside, Tronde said again: "You are now the vice president of our Jinhua branch. Some things must be explained to you first. First of all, there are benefits. According to regulations, you can receive a salary of 500,000 gold coins per month, and you can use all alchemy materials below level eight in the guild at will. These materials can only be used for personal alchemy research and cannot be sold outside. The above two points are the benefits of serving as vice president, and then some guild regulations..."

Afterwards, Tronde talked endlessly about a lot of regulations, such as not being allowed to disclose guild secrets at will, not being allowed to abuse the rights of the vice president, and having to go to the imperial capital every year to attend meetings... etc.

After spending dozens of minutes, Liu Zhe finally recorded everything Tronde said. In general, as long as the interests of the Alchemy Guild are not harmed, the position of deputy president is still very relaxed and free, and he will not restrict Liu Zhe's behavior in normal times.

After saying a lot of rules, Trond took out the small jade box prepared in advance and handed it to Liu Zhe, saying, "Today is the day when Vice President Sir takes office. I have no good treasures here that can be used as a gift. Only this red fire Ganoderma lucidum is still good. Please accept it and don't give up."

"You are so polite." As he said, Liu Zhe did not refuse Tronde's kindness, and at this time he directly put the small jade box containing the red fire Ganoderma lucidum into his space ring.

Although this red fire Ganoderma lucidum is not a top medicinal material, it is at least worth a first-class gem in the system. Liu Zhe will naturally not be polite. Besides, people say this. If he doesn't accept this gift, he slapped Tronde in the face and did not give him face.

...

...

"Then, I'll say goodbye today."
