Current time. At the observation center of the international competition.

Several hundred government officials have gathered around. Unsure if it was just luck, Gu Qingjiu was in third place as a newcomer this year.

In a way, it was jarring to see.

However, most of the competitors were still carefully testing out waters, so there weren’t many exciting things reported to the center.

Moreover, since most of the competitors wore similar clothing, Nian Chusheng spent considerable effort before finding Gu Qingjiu on a small screen at the bottom left corner.

“The place which Qingjiu is at is safer than the starting point of other competitors. She has cover from all directions which may serve to protect her.”

Nian Chusheng commented after watching Gu Qingjiu’s screen for a while.

Upon hearing this, Chairman Song turned to look in the direction Nian Chusheng was pointing in. His expression was serious. “Yes, this place is better than Yin Ruoyi’s landing spot. Yin Ruoyi is currently at the center of the rainforest, in an open valley area. There are many wild beasts around, and players near him are getting closer to him as well. But frankly, I still have higher hopes for Yin Ruoyi this year.”

“Oh?”

It confused Nian Chusheng. “Chairman Song, don’t you trust Gu Qingjiu because she is new?”

“It’s not that I don’t trust her, but Yin Ruoyi already took part in this once. He is more familiar with the rules. Gu Qingjiu will take a while to ease in. Yin Ruoyi has also gone up against Cruff. Right now, the only question is who would be the one to face Cruff or if they would even get to face him.”

“Oh, I don’t feel that way.”

Nian Chusheng waved his arm. “Before they left, I asked Elder Gong. He said this location was more beneficial for Gu Qingjiu but did not tell me the specifics. But no matter who, I hope that Yin Ruoyi and Gu Qingjiu will bring glory to the country. If Cruff took the three consecutive victories, we would have nowhere to put our face!”

Saying that, Nian Chusheng glanced towards the officials from America.

Looking at the group of people who were full of cheer and chatter, Nian Chusheng spat, “Look at those happy Americans. The only thing they lack is the popping of champagne. It’s as if they’ve already won.”

“They’re not to blame.”

Chairman Song sighed lightly. “Even if what Elder Gong said was true, with Cruff’s abilities, this terrain may be beneficial for him as well. Cruff could win in a flat ground fight, what’s more, to say a forest terrain. It’s no wonder why they feel that they already have the victory in their hands.”

While the two were discussing, a sudden ruckus sounded in the center.

As if some important figure came.

Nian Chusheng and a group of China’s officials turned to look only to see Helian Niancheng clad in Penalan’s major-general uniform as he walked in indifferently.

Those handsome looks, as well as a rarely seen cold aura, weighed on many people.

Because of his unique identity, many officials crowded forward to greet him.

Chairman Song saw him and let out a questioning sound. “Helian Niancheng came? I remember that he’s Gu Qingjiu’s boyfriend. Are the two of them still together?”

Although Chairman Song was Gu Qingjiu’s direct superior, he was a busy person. Since Elder Gong usually took Gu Qingjiu care, he never really got to understand her situation.
