Transmigrated Scoundrel's Exchange System-Chapter 35 Preparation For Tournament
While Han Cai was in his thoughts, there was a knock on his door. He got up and opened the door and saw Kong Dandan standing, and Kong Dan had brought him his meal "Brother Han here is your meal."
Mostly Kong Dandan would leave the meals in front of the door of Han Cai's quarters. Unless there was anything necessary to discuss, he would only interact with Han Cai as he knew elder Zhou had gambled a lot on Han Cai.
Kong Dandan had become very respectful to Han Cai. One time when visiting elder Zhou, he saw Han Cai sparring with elder Zhou. He could not fathom Han Cai's sword skills since he was at level 1 for crane sword technique, and he was sure Han Cai was level 2 or above.
Kong Dandan realized why the elder was betting so much on Han Cai. This kid was only 11 years old and already level 2 in sword technique; he would wipe the floor with outer sect disciples when the tournament started. He was not sure why but now, when he looked at Han Cai and found him very pleasing to the eye, he sometimes even felt reverence toward Han Cai.
Han Cai gave a charming smile and welcomed him to the house. They both sat down, for Han Cai, elder Zhou, and Kong Dandan were test subjects for his charm as he had not interacted with anyone except these two in the last few months.
He noticed, after his charmed increased, their treatment towards him became more respectful. Han Cai said, "Thank you, brother Kong. How is everything going on in the sect".
Han Cai was still unaware of the legendary brawl as he had been cultivating or practicing sword skills in quarters. Besides his daily meals, Kong Dandan delivered his monthly allowance of spirit stones.
Kong Dandan smiled and said, "The top 1000 outer sect competition has ended. I was able to get the 48th spot."
Han Cai spoke, "Congratulations to brother Kong."
Kong Dandan nodded. "Brother Han elder asked me to inform you that the day after tomorrow, the contests for the top 100 will begin, where 50 top disciples chosen by elders by their elder token and the top 50 disciples from the tournament will compete with each other. The top 50 for the last tournament are also called general or common factions. As you will join the tournament through your elder's token, You will be considered the special faction or, as the common faction calls the special faction, the rich brats faction."
Han Cai nodded. 𝙛𝚛𝙚ewe𝗯𝓃𝗼ѵ𝚎Ɩ.𝒄o𝐦
Kon Dandan continued, "Elder Zhou told me he would come personally to take you to the arena. This time inner sect disciples, inner sect peak elders, and even sect master will be presiding at the arena."
This was new news to Han Cai. Even the sect master will be presiding? Sect masters taking an interest in outer sect tournaments will be interesting. He had to change his plans since the sect master would be presiding over the tournament. This was a good opportunity he had to impress the sect master, which should make his life easier in the sect perpetually.
This was a vital piece of news. Han Cai thanked him sincerely, "Thank you for informing me, brother Kong I will be prepared."
Kong Dandan thought when he mentioned sect master Han Cai might be a bit nervous. But after giving Kong Dandan a smile in the beginning, Han Cai kept a cold, aloof attitude during the whole conversation. For some reason, Kong Dandan admired him more.
After thinking, sometimes Han Cai asked, "Brother Kong, is there any regulation where an outer sect disciple has to wear outer sect robes during the tournament?"
Kong Dandan needed clarification why he would ask about what outer sect disciples wear during the tournament.
Kong Dandan shook his head. "No, as long as you have your outer sect token with you. You don't need to wear outer sect robes to participate in the tournament; there are no such regulations."
Han Cai nodded and took out 100 gold coins from his pocket. He took out the gold coins from system storage, but he put his hand in his pocket to pretend he was taking them out from his pocket.
Taking out gold coins, he spoke, "Brother Kong, I have been wearing these outer sect robes. I do not have anything nice to wear in the tournament. I like White and black colors if I could trouble brother to get me some good white and black colored robes and shoes. I will be very thankful."
Kong Dandan was flabbergasted; many thoughts ran through his mind.
Here, everyone was worried about the competition. He was thinking about what to wear. Brother Han is wealthy, taking out 100 gold coins just for clothes. Black was fine But white clothes? Wouldn't they be ruined with blood stains or get ripped in fights? Why waste gold coins like that? But he decided not to question whatever was going through Han Cai's mind.
Han Cai could guess what Kong Dandan was thinking. But he did not care. He was not going to start teaching Kong Dandan the great Dao of marketing and why the presentation was the most important factor in marketing oneself.
Kong Dandan "It is alright, brother. I will get them for you by tomorrow, but 100 gold coins are too much. Best robes in nearby cities would only cost around 5 to 10 gold coins."
Han Cai shook his head. "Brother Kong, I don't want clothes but also two swords with a white and black sheath and hilt."
Kong Dandan did not know what to say. He just nodded and spoke, "you can rely on me, brother Han."
After saying that, Kong Dan left. Han Cai thought that having Kong Dandan was very useful and he should get some reliable subordinates for himself in the future.
