Chapter 24

In the next few rounds of the competition, it seemed as if the organizers were deliberately favoring Zhan Yi. His opponents were even less formidable than the first round's muscular man, so he won very easily.

However, as the competition continued, the remaining contestants became fewer, and this phenomenon gradually changed. But Zhan Yi's state also improved, as after several rounds, his control over strength and speed was no longer as clumsy as at the beginning.

By the time he entered the top ten finals, he had already defeated six opponents. By then, it was already night, and he was starting to feel tired. But when he turned to look at the other top ten contestants, they seemed even more exhausted, which somewhat balanced his mood.

At this moment, the organizers suddenly announced an important message: the competition would pause for an hour to allow the audience to eat and rest, and then the final top ten would continue in the evening. Moreover, the top ten contestants would be invited to attend the so-called matchmaking banquet of the Moer tribe.

Zhan Yi was almost moved to tears upon hearing this announcement, not because he couldn't hold on, but because he was really hungry. He had only had a light breakfast in the morning, and after the afternoon's battles, his stomach was already empty.

So, after the announcement ended, Zhan Yi quickly called Luhu and Dong Dabao over and said with a sigh, "Sigh... you guys know, the organizers insist on inviting me to some top ten banquet. I can't help it, but you should also eat something so you have the energy to cheer for me tonight."

"Damn, boss, stop pretending. I can still see the pride in your eyes, but don't you think half of your success is due to me and Brother Hu?" Dong Dabao, seeing Zhan Yi's deliberately sentimental expression, couldn't help but say with dissatisfaction.

"Hmm, I see that too, and boss." Luhu also nodded forcefully.

"Uh... really? Am I that proud? Haha..." Zhan Yi wanted to continue pretending, but seeing the two of them with their pitiful expressions, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Luhu and Dong Dabao, seeing Zhan Yi's elated state, both rolled their eyes and gave him the middle finger, shouting, "Damn..."

"Ha, it's not that I don't want to take you, but you heard the announcement. Only the top ten contestants can go; no relatives or friends are allowed." Zhan Yi laughed for a while, then finally stopped and looked at them with a difficult expression.

"We didn't say we wanted to go with you. I just think that the money for our meals should be on you, right, Brother Hu?" Dong Dabao, knowing that what Zhan Yi said was true, quickly said with a turn of his eyes.

"Absolutely agree with Brother Bao, and at least 500 yuan per person for the meal." Luhu expressed his absolute support for Dong Dabao with his words.

"Damn, what do you need 500 yuan for? A 5-yuan boxed meal isn't enough?" Zhan Yi, who was a bit embarrassed, quickly glared at them when he saw their united front.

"5 yuan, sure, but boss, we don't mind telling the organizers that you're eating a grand banquet while your brothers are eating boxed meals." Dong Dabao said nonchalantly.

"Absolutely news, and we'll tell Miss Maiyi too." Luhu, feeling that the pressure wasn't enough, added.

"Uh... you're threatening me?" Zhan Yi didn't expect them to come up with such a tactic.

"Boss, don't make it sound so bad. You don't have to agree if you don't want to." Dong Dabao said casually.

"Right, if you don't agree, we'll tell the news." Luhu nodded seriously in agreement.

"Fine, you two win. Here's 1000 yuan, eat until you drop." Zhan Yi counted out 1000 yuan from his wallet and handed it to them, very unwillingly.

"Boss, that's the right attitude. But don't worry, we won't eat until we drop, ha ha..." Dong Dabao snatched the money and, laughing, pulled Luhu out of the venue.

"Uh... boss, right." Luhu seemed to want to say something but, after struggling to form his words, only managed to say one word before turning to follow Dong Dabao.

Zhan Yi was left clenching his teeth, watching their backs, trying to suppress the urge to kill them. Fortunately, the organizers soon came to invite the top ten contestants to the matchmaking banquet, which made him feel a bit better.

The so-called grand banquet was just a group of people eating together. It included the top ten contestants, the chief and several elders of the Moer tribe, and some serving girls and attendants.

However, the food prepared by the Moer tribe did live up to the name "grand banquet." It included the specialties of the Western Border, such as whole roasted sheep, roasted lamb legs, and skewers, as well as some seafood and mountain game. Zhan Yi's appetite soared, and before anyone else could start, he grabbed a lamb leg and started gnawing on it.

But just as he was about to take a bite, everyone around him turned to look at him with surprised expressions. Zhan Yi, seeing their gazes, froze with the lamb leg in his mouth and awkwardly laughed, "Ha ha, everyone, please, be at ease."

Hearing his words, everyone burst into laughter, and Zhan Yi, in their laughter, felt a strong urge to run away. After everyone laughed, the chief of the Moer tribe finally stood up and raised his glass, saying, "Thank you all for coming to my daughter's matchmaking banquet. After a day of competition, those who can sit here are all heroes. I will toast to all of you first." He then drank the glass in one go.

The other contestants also stood up and followed suit, but Zhan Yi, holding the lamb leg, had to use one hand to hold it and the other to raise his glass, secretly regretting that he had forgotten that someone would speak at such a banquet.

Fortunately, after everyone put down their glasses, the chief of the Moer tribe announced, "Alright, everyone, enjoy your meal. Eat well so you have the energy for the competition tonight."

With these words, the others finally started eating, devouring the food as hungrily as Zhan Yi.

After a hearty meal, everyone's stomachs were full, and the elders of the Moer tribe began toasting the top ten contestants, praising their hard work and excellent performance.

The top ten contestants all responded politely, and Zhan Yi, having learned his lesson, kept an eye on the elder who was toasting him. When he saw the elder about to toast him, he quickly put down his food and put on a very enthusiastic expression.

After the elders finished toasting, the chief of the Moer tribe stood up again and smiled at the top ten contestants, "Ha ha, it's not easy for the heroes here to reach this point. However, there can only be one champion in this competition. I know everyone is here for my daughter, so I have decided to have her come out and toast each of you, to encourage you."

The top ten contestants, who were in the middle of a fierce battle with the food, were suddenly startled and stopped to look up. The chief of the Moer tribe continued, "Ha ha, don't be surprised. My daughter will come out to toast, but she can't toast everyone. So, we will set a small challenge. Whoever can answer to her satisfaction will receive a toast from her. What do you think?"

"Good, we agree. Bring out Miss Maiyi quickly." The top ten contestants were already impatient, having fought all day to win Maiyi's favor.

"Ha ha, good. Maiyi, come out and greet the young heroes." The chief of the Moer tribe, seeing the excitement of the top ten contestants, couldn't help but laugh.

As the chief of the Moer tribe spoke, everyone saw the curtain lift, and a woman in red walked into the room. She was none other than Maiyi, the first beauty of the Moer tribe. She had removed her phoenix crown, and her black hair was tied back, adding a touch of noble charm.

She entered the room and smiled gently at the top ten contestants, "Maiyi greets all the gentlemen."

The top ten contestants were stunned, even Zhan Yi, who had not been particularly interested, was suddenly invigorated. He had already found Maiyi very beautiful during the day, but seeing her up close was even more captivating.

Especially her alluring figure, which could make any man lose his mind. Her high, soft breasts, slender waist, round and firm buttocks, and long, beautiful legs made Zhan Yi feel an overwhelming urge to offer his virginity to her. He kept asking himself, "Such a beauty, should I really run away? Would I be worse than a beast?"

Of course, the other top ten contestants were no better. One of them couldn't resist shouting some classic lines, "Oh, my god, YES, F**K."

Everyone turned to look at him with disdain, and Maiyi frowned, glancing at the chief of the Moer tribe.

The chief of the Moer tribe quickly came to the man and said coldly, "Sir, you have lost the right to be toasted. I also regret to inform you that you will not be allowed to continue in the competition after the meal, as porn is your best companion."

The man, who had thought the chief of the Moer tribe would look at him differently, finally realized what was happening and cried out in pain, "Ah... Chief, I didn't mean to. Please give me another chance. I haven't watched porn for a long time."

The chief of the Moer tribe only gave him a cold look and ordered him to be escorted out. The other contestants were stunned by this sudden turn of events, and Zhan Yi quickly covered his mouth, thinking, "Damn, thank god I was thinking about Asian porn just now. Otherwise, I would have shouted before him. It seems watching porn can also determine one's fate."
