"We want to sign up!"
Amidst the bustling crowd, Ye Lang and Edward arrived at the registration point to sign up for the Bride Selection Event!
Before this, Edward had thought it would be lively here, but he didn't expect it to be this lively. It was like a grand event, no less so than the previous Talented Women Unrivaled's Competition.
Indeed, it's normal for a powerful and beautiful woman to hold a marriage contest, and this time, it was stated beforehand that regardless of wealth or appearance, anyone with talent and potential is eligible.
With such conditions, how could it not attract a large group of men, ranging from ten to sixty years old!
At ten years old, the boy seems to want to find an older sister to marry, but it will be at least five or six years before he grows up...
As for those who are sixty years old, I won't comment on that!
After this happened, the Alexandria City set a new requirement: applicants must be at least eighteen years old and under forty!
Fortunately, Ye Lang is qualified...
As for how Ye Lang and Edward managed to get into that crowd and reach the registration point? Need you ask? They simply squeezed their way in!
Of course, Edward felt uncomfortable about this. He was a nobleman, after all, and he couldn't afford to squeeze with others. But Ye Lang didn't care about anything and said that squeezing together was good, and that it was even healthier!
However, sometimes he would find it impossible to squeeze in. At those times, Ye Lang would use a little trick, for example—
"The boiling water is here!"
"Damn, these people aren't even afraid of boiling water!"
"Look, a flying saucer!"
What is a UFO?
Okay, here comes the ultimate move—
"Look everyone, Miss Kasha is running around naked!!"
"..."
This tactic worked; most people went looking for Miss Kasha, who was running around naked. Of course, it turned out that someone had made it up. At that time, everyone said—
"I knew it was just someone spreading rumors. How could my Miss Kasha do such a tasteless thing!"
"Yeah, that's right. Look at these people, they're even looking around. It's an insult to my Kasha!!"
"..."
It seems that besides Ye Lang, Edward also went to look for them. Although I don't believe it, this is really shocking.
Just then, Ye Lang successfully pushed past some people and led Edward to the registration point. He had achieved his goal, regardless of what the people around him said about him or how shameless he was.
Of course, the people around them were just talking nonsense, but they didn't know that the person talking nonsense was Ye Lang!
"Name, occupation, family background, special skills..." the staff member at the registration point said without looking up.
"My name is Ye Lang, professional Prodigal Son, special skill is spending money, family background is wealthy businessmen!" Ye Lang gave a detailed introduction that left people speechless. Would anyone introduce themselves like this?
Also, why does he say that his family background is that of wealthy merchants, or should they be nobles?
It's very simple. The Ye Clan now primarily focused on business, so they publicly declare themselves as just businessmen and that they don't concern themselves with the affairs of others.
This saved the Ye Clan a lot of trouble!
"Huh?!" The staff member finally looked up at Ye Lang, then buried his head again and continued working.
Although Ye Lang's resume was a bit strange, he had encountered many strange people here, so he was used to it. Besides, he still had work to do, and there were a lot of people waiting behind him!
Soon, Ye Lang received a piece of paper instructing him to go to the next "exam room"!
After registering, you'll immediately take the test, and most people will be eliminated today...
"Next..."
"Edward Jane, a professional student, specializing in martial arts, from a noble family..." Edward also gave his name and made a brief report.
"Alright, let's go in!" Edward looked at Ye Lang, who was waiting on the side, and thought that Ye Lang was waiting for him to go in together, so he said to Ye Lang.
"You go in first, I need to take care of things here!" Ye Lang said to Edward. He was indeed waiting for Edward, but not to go in together. He wanted to...
"What do you want to do?" Edward was stunned, not understanding why Ye Lang was staying here.
"Of course, it's about dealing with these people behind us!!" Ye Lang waved his hand and said with a smile, but this smile frightened Edward. He seemed to sense that something was about to happen, and something terrible at that!
Suddenly, something appeared in Ye Lang's hand—something many people desired, a powerful weapon— Alchemy Cannon. He fired it directly at the registration point...
Damn it! You...
Edward tried to rush forward to stop Ye Lang, but it was too late. The Alchemy Cannon emitted a burst of light, and a beam of magical energy shot towards the registration point!
"Boom..."
The magical energy exploded, knocking the registration point to the side and leaving everyone stunned, not understanding what had happened!
The staff at the registration point, along with the people who had just registered, were all lying on the ground, their fate unknown.
Soon, people began to scatter in all directions, and the scene became extremely chaotic!
"You... how could you do this!" Edward's mouth hung open. Although he knew Ye Lang sometimes acted recklessly, this was just too much.
"What happened to me?" Ye Lang had already retrieved the Alchemy Cannon, making it impossible for anyone to discover that he was the one who caused the disturbance.
Seeing that Ye Lang seemed completely unaffected, Edward angrily questioned, "Why did you do this?"
"It's very simple. This way, there will be far fewer opponents. We just need to take out the people inside!" Ye Lang said easily.
"Even if you're going to help me take down my opponent, you don't have to kill people!!" Edward was furious that Ye Lang disregarded human life and actually killed the staff member.
"Who killed them? They were just stunned, they won't die!" Ye Lang said nonchalantly. "You go in first, I need to deal with them here and cut off their escape route!"
Ye Lang is not the kind of person who values human life. He would not kill innocent people just to eliminate an opponent, especially not for something like this.
He was merely using one of the attack methods from his Alchemy Cannon, a magical energy attack that could stun people without harming them; those hit would be unconscious for a period of time.
Of course, this attack has a tiny margin of error and can sometimes cause harm, but it's not serious. At most, it might cause dizziness, nausea, or general discomfort for a while, after which you'll recover.
As for the exact timeframe, in Ye Lang's words, it's hard to say. It might be a day or two, or it might be ten days or half a month, but it won't exceed a month!
Although Ye Lang's attack did not harm anyone, and it was known that his purpose was to eliminate the remaining opponents and prevent any further conflicts, only he could have conceived of and carried out such an action.
