"Reporters selected by Coach Yan Huan will be given a chance to ask questions. Please keep your questions brief!"
"Now then, Coach Yan Huan, please begin!"
Yan Huan nodded slightly, then raised a hand and picked the cutest reporter in the crowd.
Hook froze when Yan Huan picked her, then stepped forward with a smile.
"I-I'm asking a question on behalf of Belobog's Crystal Daily!"
"What? Crystal Daily hired a child reporter?" As an upstanding citizen, Yan Huan hurriedly pulled out a pen and paper to write it down. This would earn him a handsome reporting reward and a certificate.
"No one hired me." Hook hurriedly explained, "This is my vacation homework. I'm submitting it to Crystal Daily!"
"Ahem..."
"People online are saying the Martial Arts Ceremony is about to turn into a high-tech weapons expo. At this rate, they'll be using planet-killing cannons."
"Mr. Yan Huan, how do you evaluate this opinion online?"
"Emmmm..."
As a guest at the press conference, a Martial Arts Ceremony judge, a coach to star competitors, and a Gold Tier Mentor at the training grounds, Yan Huan had to speak for the organizers.
So, with righteous solemnity, he answered:
"So what?"
"..."
At that moment, the entire venue fell silent.
Yan Huan continued:
"If they didn't do this, how would the organizers make dirty money? Do you really think fighting wars doesn't cost money? Besides exterminating Abundance creatures, the Xianzhou Alliance has also added the Antimatter Legion to its list of mortal enemies!"
"The Martial Arts Ceremony needs to keep up with the times too."
"Whatever weapons they use, just tell me—isn't it exciting to watch?"
The reporters in the back rows exchanged looks and realized that Yan Huan actually had a point.
The fairness might have been questionable, but it was definitely exciting.
