"Brother ao Tian, are you not happy to see us?" Lin Yi greeted ao Tianba with a smile. To be honest, he didn't expect to be here so soon either-the timing of the test was just too good. It ended in a day, saving him a lot of time.
"No way, brother Lin, you just like to joke with me. Please come in. I'm overjoyed to see director Zhang and miss Shangguan here!" Ao Tianba chuckled and gestured for the three to sit in the guest room on the ancient warship.
"Sorry for disturbing you, Captain ao Tian." Zhang jinmiao greeted ao Tianba courteously. The two weren't that far apart in status, and because of Lin Yi, there was a natural sense of closeness between them. They still maintained a certain level of courtesy when they spoke, but there was no sense of distance.
"Brother Lin, I'm so relieved that you're here. I just got the news that two new fleets have been formed in the Golden class Sea area, and they'll be participating in the sea route competition. We don't know how strong the new opponents are, so I'm really worried without your help." Ao Tianba led the three to his own living room and ordered the servants to prepare food before pulling Lin Yi over.
"Brother ao Tian, don't have too much hope in me. If I fail, I'll let you down," Lin Yi waved his hand with a smile. He wasn't so arrogant as to think that he'd win for sure. After all, this wasn't an individual's combat ability, but a fleet's control.
Fine, Lin Yi only realized now that he didn't know what the competition was about. He'd just taken it for granted.
"Little brother Lin, you're too humble. In my eyes, you're just a little guy who can create miracles. If you don't come and help, I don't have any hope. If you don't win, then it must be the will of the heavens. We'll come again next time, it's no big deal." Ao Tianba laughed heartily, looking very open-minded.
"Haha, since brother ao Tian has said so, then let us brothers join hands and do our best. That's right, why don't brother ao Tian explain to us the general situation of this conference?" Lin Yi smiled faintly-it didn't seem like ao Tianba was determined to win for sure, either. He just wanted to give it his all, and that was good too-they wouldn't feel too much pressure.
"The specific events of the competition are still confidential. They will only be revealed one by one after the competition begins, so we can't make any specific preparations for now." Ao Tianba shrugged his shoulders with a somewhat helpless expression. Perhaps the fleets in the Yellow Sea region could obtain some information through his own connections, but his Foundation in the East continent was too weak, so he could not obtain any useful information at all.
Lin Yi nodded-he'd expected this. Ao Tianba did mention that the competition was different every time, and he didn't know what it'd be like this year. He just didn't think that there'd be no news at all about the Grand meet that was going to start in a few days.
"This time, the most important thing that all the fleets are fighting for is the two spots on the route to the mystic division Sea area. The other routes are not very different. The worst and best routes to the major islands are only ten days apart, so it's not an unbearable difference. But the spots to the mystic class Sea area are extremely hard to get!" Ao Tianba's eyes were filled with anticipation. If he could get a spot to the Xuan class sea, his fleet would have a qualitative leap.
When he returned to Nakajima, he would be able to face his family with his head held high. After all, such an achievement was neither remarkable nor insignificant in an ancient family like the aotian family.
"Aunty Zhang, aren't we going to the mystic division sea by land? How come the sea route can be used?" Lin Yi looked at Zhang jinmiao, confused. He remembered Zhang jinmiao telling him that they went to Mystic division sea by land.
From the Golden sea to the mystic Sea, there was a restriction separating them. Those who were at the beginning of their mountain could apply for a time-limited pass, but those under the xuansheng stage had to follow the school's Guide. Lin Yi always thought that the sea route from the Golden sea to the mystic Sea was blocked, otherwise, wouldn't anyone be able to go there by sea?
"The Sky Class island's Sea area is so vast, so of course you can go to the mystic class Sea area by sea. But by sea, you can only reach the mystic class Sea area's port city, and all transactions have to be completed there. People who go through the yellow Class Sea area can't leave the port, and even if you have a pass, it's useless. The port city only allows people from the mystic class Sea area to go in and out, but if you want to trade, there's no problem. There won't be situations where the price will be deliberately raised because of this reason." Zhang jinmiao explained with a smile. As the Vice Dean of the School, she knew about these small things.
"So that's how it is. Brother ao Tian, you want one of the two spots, right?" Lin Yi understood the huge business opportunity in this, and naturally understood ao Tianba's desire for victory.
"It's not that I want one of the two spots, but all the fleets want these two spots!" Ao Tianba laughed and waved his hand. "That's why I said we should just do our best. What everyone wants isn't so easy to get."
Lin Yi understood that ao Tianba didn't want to put too much pressure on him-he'd invited Lin Yi for one of the two spots, after all, and it wouldn't be as easy as he'd said if he failed.
"Well, it's a pity that we don't know what the competition is about, so we can't make any preparations. Brother ao Tian, if you have any information on the contents of the previous tournaments, why don't you take it out and let us study it? we might be inspired. " Lin Yi thought about it and decided that it wasn't a bad idea to refer to the contents of the previous meetings.
"I do have this. I'll take it out for everyone to see." Ao Tianba was naturally prepared for this. He took out a large stack of books from his storage bag. No one knew how many times he had collected the contents of the competition.
Lin Yi picked up the books and gave some to Zhang jinmiao and Shangguan LAN 'er, who quickly flipped through and studied the past battles.
Ao Tianba was not idle either. Not only did he have to participate in the discussion, but he also had to continue sending people to inquire about the news. Even if he got some news before the start, he would still be able to make preparations.
