After he dealt with the matter with the Tushan Clan, Qinchuan started to concentrate on studying the Talisman Formation Master Exchange. According to past practice, the opening ceremony of the Talisman Formation Master Exchange would continue for an entire three days. During these three days of time, the Talisman Formation Masters that registered to participate in the Talisman Formation Master Exchange could head to the organizer's office in advance to choose a booth, and the booth would be selected by drawing lots.
On the way to the organizer's office, Qinchuan asked Zuo Sisi with a slightly curious expression. "The booth is completely dependent on drawing lots?
Is there really no back door? "
Zuo Sisi chuckled when she heard Qinchuan's question, and then she said to Qinchuan, "There's naturally an inside story behind the drawing of lots. Those with backgrounds will naturally be able to obtain good lots in advance, whereas, those without backgrounds can only head over to the venue to draw lots, and it's up to them to draw lots."
Qinchuan asked curiously when he heard this. "Is the location of the booth very important?"
Zuo Sisi glanced at Qinchuan with a slightly strange expression and asked. "Haven't you been studying the Talisman Formation Master Exchange in the past few days?
How could you not even know about the most basic thing? "
Qinchuan scratched his head with slight embarrassment and said, "I was indeed studying the Talisman Formation Master Exchange, but the direction of my research was different."
Qinchuan's objective in studying the Talisman Formation Master Exchange was mainly focused on the rewards for the top three, and it was the opportunity to comprehend Dao Markings!
In Qinchuan's opinion, being in the top three of the Talisman Formation Master Exchange was probably the best opportunity he could find in the near future. He really wanted to rely on this opportunity to repair his Talisman Sword, and if he missed this opportunity, then he really didn't know when he would encounter such an opportunity again.
After a period of research, Qinchuan noticed a rule that was extremely beneficial to him, and it was that he could comprehend two Dao Markings at the same time during this month of time!
Zuo Sisi gazed at Qinchuan and asked with slight curiosity. "Then what's the direction of your research?"
Qinchuan chuckled when he heard this, and then he answered. "I'm researching the direction of comprehending Dao Markings. I saw in the records of the Talisman Formation Master Exchange in the past that the top three Talisman Formation Masters were able to move freely between two Dao Markings for a month of time, and they weren't restricted to a single place."
When she heard Qinchuan's answer, Zuo Sisi asked with slight bewilderment....
Could it be that you want to comprehend both Dao runes in a month's time?
The reason why there is such a setting in this matter is because the reward this time is not so much for the top three to comprehend the Dao Rune, but rather for the top three to visit the Dao Rune. Many people would choose to travel between the two to broaden their horizons. This is a normal thing. "
... Zuo Sisi felt that it was very strange because Qinchuan shouldn't be the type of person that would research such useless things.
Qinchuan just smiled when facing Zuo Sisi's puzzlement, and he didn't have any intention of explaining. Perhaps running between the two places was only a form of sightseeing to others, but it wasn't so to him!
Om!
After the flying shuttle stopped at the location where the Talisman Formation Master Exchange was held, Qinchuan and Zuo Sisi stood up and walked out of the flying shuttle, and then they shot their gazes towards the location before them. It was an enormous square.
On the square, over 100 crystal platforms that covered an area of 100 meters floated slowly in midair, and they revolved lightly, causing it to seem extremely illusory.
"These platforms are the exhibition platforms that all of you have to draw lots to choose. At that time, all of you have to stand on these exhibition platforms and display the talisman formations you've grasped in order to obtain the attention of the spectators."
Zuo Sisi sighed with emotion as she gazed at these exhibition platforms. "My luck wasn't bad all those years ago, and I drew a decent exhibition platform. But unfortunately, I didn't have any popularity at all, and I was eliminated very easily."
When he heard Zuo Sisi sigh with emotion, Qinchuan asked with slight curiosity. "Is popularity useful?"
Zuo Sisi knew that Qinchuan hadn't done his homework beforehand, so she patiently explained to Qinchuan. "Not only do the Talisman Formation Masters have to compete in their respective strengths during the exchange, they have to compete in their popularity as well. If you want to obtain a good ranking in the Talisman Formation Master Exchange, then you must possess sufficient popularity, and the audience voting is an extremely important segment of the Talisman Formation Master Exchange."
Qinchuan couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Zuo Sisi's explanation, and then he asked with slight astonishment. "Audience voting?
There's actually such a segment? "
Zuo Sisi nodded, and then she said to Qinchuan, "Amongst the 100 plus participating Talisman Formation Masters, only the people in the top 100 with popularity will be able to enter the main competition of the Talisman Formation Master Exchange, and the others will be eliminated after the opening ceremony ends."
When he heard Zuo Sisi's answer, Qinchuan was truly slightly dizzy. He'd completely never imagined that the Talisman Formation Master Exchange actually had such a bizarre audience voting segment. Doesn't this mean that I have to do all I can to solicit votes during these three days?
"These positions wouldn't have been decided behind closed doors, right?" Qinchuan gazed at Zuo Sisi. "Things like votes are too easy to manipulate."
Zuo Sisi nodded helplessly and replied. "It's indeed so. Basically, almost 30 positions will be decided behind closed doors during every single Talisman Formation Master Exchange, and it's comparatively easy for people with status in Seine Galaxy to manipulate this sort of thing."
When he heard Zuo Sisi's answer, Qinchuan heaved a long sigh of relief and said, "Then there's at least 70 positions left. Fortunately, fortunately."
Even though a portion of the positions had been decided behind closed doors, there were still quite a number of positions left, and Qinchuan was still confident that he could stand out amongst them. However, Qinchuan hadn't been happy for long because Zuo Sisi's next words sent him from heaven to hell.
"Don't get happy too early. Besides the positions that have been decided behind closed doors, there are still people who buy tickets."
Zuo Sisi gazed at Qinchuan. "Some Talisman Formation Master Guilds will spend a large amount of money to buy tickets from the spectators for the sake of guaranteeing a position in the top 100, and there are actually very few positions that can be used to compete for the positions."
This time, Qinchuan was truly slightly stunned. Not to mention the positions that have been decided behind closed doors, there are actually people who can buy tickets openly?!
"Isn't buying tickets a little too showy?
Could it be that the organizer doesn't care at all? "Qinchuan had an expression of shock." Aren't they afraid that they'll just make up the numbers? "
"You're thinking too much."
Zuo Sisi laughed bitterly. "Basically, the top three in every Talisman Formation Master Exchange Meeting would be decided from the predetermined spots. Very few Talisman Formation Masters that bought tickets to enter the top 100 are able to enter the top 10, let alone the top three.
So the organizer doesn't care at all if people buy tickets. Moreover, this can be considered as an unspoken rule, and it's like spending money to buy a position in the top 100. "
Qinchuan gazed at Zuo Sisi with a strange gaze and asked. "How much money did you prepare for my ticket?"
Zuo Sisi gazed at Qinchuan in an extremely serious manner when she heard this and replied. "Not a single cent, I'm poor."
