Chapter Twenty-Five: The Male Lead Ah, the Male Lead

  The crowd outside was in an uproar, and the expressions of the people watching inside were also extremely excited. A large number of spectators shouted with red faces and thick necks, still clutching one or several tickets in their hands. Jiang Nian carefully observed for half a day before discovering that they were gambling, and on those tickets were written different people's names.

  It seems that the contestants had already registered and signed up for the competition, and then the audience chose the seeded players they thought would win, placed bets with different amounts, and the number of votes varied depending on the amount, and then gambled.

  However, as a newcomer to the audience, she didn't know any of the contestants, and only came to join in the excitement. So she beckoned to a small vendor walking around the spectator seats, bought a lot of pastries from him, spread them out on the small wooden table in front of her, and started eating while watching.

  Can't help but say that the treatment of the first row is really good, not only with cushions and tables, but also with people serving tea and pouring water. Jiang Nian sat beside the table like a local tyrant, resting his elbows on the table, propping up his head, and started watching the game while scratching his itch.

  But the initial matches were boring, and those who lost quickly didn't have much to show for it. The competition used a very simple format of cutting in half, then cutting in half again. Each match winner advanced to the next round, while losers had no more chances, and opponents were also randomly selected. So the early matches were like children playing house, with many people eliminated quickly, really not much to see.

  Jiang Nian watched the battle, thinking it would take a few more rounds, and began to arrange pastries on the table. After playing for a while, she suddenly noticed a dark shadow in front of her that was illuminated by sunlight. She slowly raised her head, still looking at the pastries with a careless expression. When she finally lifted her head, she moved her eyes over and saw a very lecherous face... It was the yellow cow from earlier.

  The ox laughed even more slyly, and opened his mouth again. His teeth were actually well-shaped, white and shiny, but completely mismatched with his face.

  She raised an eyebrow to signal Huang Niu to speak, and Huang Niu said with a flattering tone: "Miss, it must be very boring for one person to watch. Why don't you also buy a lottery ticket to gamble?"

  She stared at the yellow cow, her eyes motionless. In fact, she was just thinking, but the yellow cow thought she was looking at him and again lowered his head in embarrassment, waiting for a long time before hearing the voice of the person in front: "I don't know who's participating in the competition, show me the list."

  "Alright, no problem, no problem, here it is." He spoke with a very cheerful tone, then pulled out a large piece of rice paper from somewhere in his clothes, which was densely filled with names, and even listed the opponents for the first round in a grid for easy viewing. Jiang Nian scanned the rice paper and thought that he didn't recognize any of the names, so who should he buy?

  The yellow cow comrade next to her saw her expression and immediately said, "Most people are buying these two, they are the hottest contenders for the championship." As he spoke, he pointed out the location of the person he was referring to.

  Jiang Nian's gaze followed her finger and saw two unfamiliar people, thinking it was boring, she didn't want to follow them to buy anything.

  Then she subconsciously swept the names around these two people again, and just as she was about to withdraw her eyes, she accidentally glanced at the name of the first-round opponent next to one of the big hot gates, and suddenly held her breath.

  Han Yue?

  Han Yue!

  The name of the male lead.

  Jiang Nian had a very deep impression of this name, because at first she misread the character, previously thinking it was "huang" as in vivid and lifelike, only later discovering that the character was actually "yi".

  Han Yue, cold meaning. The male lead's personality is just like his name, as if he has been immersed in an iceberg for thousands of years, never having a hint of warmth.

  When the author first set it, in order to give everyone a cool and handsome male protagonist image, he wrote the male protagonist's life more miserable than the female protagonist. Although he is the only son of the family, due to strict family education, his parents have too high expectations for him, hoping that he can revive the family, so from an early age, they cultivated him with iron-like behavior, hoping that he can lead the family to the pinnacle.

  Obviously, when he was being raised, his family only focused on cultivating his magical powers and neglected the cultivation of his character. As a result, the male lead is like an active iceberg wherever he goes, carrying a chill in the air. Not only cold, but also very cruel.

  Then comes the encounter between the heroine and the hero, from the initial mismatch to the later mutual understanding, knowing each other, understanding each other, and then falling in love with each other... What a standard romance format!

  However, when Jiang Nian came over, he hadn't fallen in love yet, they just had a good impression of each other. In the middle, there was a section that was quite abusive, and it made her feel uncomfortable for a while. Fortunately, the plot later developed into a beautiful idol drama.

  Jiang Nian made a great effort to think about the male lead's debut, and found that he seemed to have met the female lead for the first time in the fifth city, but at that time he was already quite famous, and his family had developed very well in the fifth city. As for the reason for his rise... it seemed that he had once participated in a large-scale competition in the first city, defeated all the players, showed off his skills, won the championship, and gained the recognition of the city lord.

  The lord of the first city is almost the first person among the nine continents, a green-haired fantasy god. However, those hidden masters are not included in the ranking, he is not the real number one, but also a character who can shake the mainland with one foot. It was because of this lord's help that the male lead had great convenience in all aspects and his family could develop so rapidly in the fifth city.

  Jiang Nian looked at the name Han Yi, and her eyes dimmed slightly. Then she slowly ground against the name, making the ink blurry, but still didn't stop, nor did she know what was on her mind.

  Huang Niu waited for a long time, just when he thought she wasn't going to buy the ticket, she suddenly lifted her head, staring straight at Huang Niu with a faint smile: "I'll buy his win." She ignored Huang Niu's astonished gaze, thought for a moment, and smiled even more deeply, adding: "One thousand gold coins."

  The ox was frightened by this number and didn't come back to his senses for a long time. After a while, he stuttered and asked: "You said, choose this Han...Han, Han" "Han Yue." Jiang Nian helped him finish the sentence, with a cold tone.

  "Oh, right, Han Yue. That... You must have made a mistake? The seeded player is the one next to him."

  "It's him, I choose him, help me buy him, now, immediately, one thousand gold coins." Her smile was exquisite, with a hint of playfulness, staring directly at the arena where Han Wei's stage was.

  Digression

  Haha, the male lead is getting rough~
