Genshin Impact: I, the first water follower, makes players excited

Chapter 306 The Tournament Begins

Well, Egolia has indeed learned bad things...

Ying looked at Egolia helplessly and sighed, and the latter also became serious.

"Okay, okay, if you want to tell me why I'm participating..."

Egolia looked around and found that there were no strangers around before she spoke.

"...I plan to use this competition to discuss with the Academy of Teachings about allowing Fontaine scholars to study abroad in Xumi."

Tinari looked at Egolia and Sines with a complicated look. When he was in Huachengguo, he felt that these two names were a bit strange, and what they said was also suspicious.

So he took the time to search for their relevant information in the void, and the results he got were quite outrageous. Egolia was the first generation god of Fontaine, and Hines was his guard.

This discovery made Tinari confused for a while. Could it be that the dead god was resurrected?

Later he discussed this issue with Sino, but Sino seemed to have known about it for a long time and did not show any surprise.

"Where are Tinari and Seno? What are you competing for?"

Ying quickly recorded Egolia's reasons for participating in the competition and continued asking questions without wasting the contestants' precious rest time.

Seno's reason was not beyond Ying's expectation, he was just after the limited Seven Saints Summoning Card, while Tinari's reason was much more serious.

"...There will be an ecological science lecture in Huachengguo next month. I entered the competition to get some publicity in advance, so winning or not is not important to me."

However, Ying did not doubt that the reason for Seno's participation in the competition was fabricated. He might really just be participating for that limited card!

"The game is about to start, I won't bother you any further, everyone, do your best!"

Ying waved goodbye to the three of them and took Paimon to complete her next mission.

"What about you? Do you want to join me in the competition?"

Egolia tilted her head as she looked at Hines beside her.

"Huh? Can we actually hire outside help for the championship?"

Sines didn't expect that during the individual match, Egolia would actually send a team invitation. This should not be allowed...

"That's okay. Participants can choose assistants to help them complete the competition. Of course, they will only be responsible for some preparatory work."

Although Tinari said that he had no interest in winning the championship, his words showed that he had carefully studied the rules of the competition.

Since it won't violate the rules, Hines will definitely not refuse.

"Then I'll be right by your side to cheer you on! So, what's the game about?"

Ginez's questions are also what the contestants want to know, but no inside information will be revealed before the game begins.

However, there is no need to worry, because the game will start soon.

"The first round of the College Championship is about to begin. Please proceed to the judges' table to accept your tasks!"

The voice on the radio reached everyone's ears, like the sound of a horn on the battlefield, announcing the arrival of conflict.

"Let's go, my contestants!"

Hines turned sideways and stretched out his right hand. Egolia also understood and placed her fingertips on Hines' hand.

"Come on, my gentleman."

Seno and Tinari fell silent as they watched the two people going away. After a short silence, Tinari began to complain quietly.

"Have they always been so...in love?"

It's embarrassing to say it's affectionate...

"I suddenly thought of an interesting saying..."

"Okay, time to go to the competition!"

Tinari didn't want to listen to Seno's jokes alone, so he pulled his arm and ran straight to the judges' table.

Everyone arrived at the judges' seat, and the judges were also old acquaintances, Elhaisen and Nilu.

With the arrival of Senor and Tinari, Elhaisen finally spoke.

"Now that everyone is here, I will announce the content of the first round of competition. Please listen carefully..."

"...Just now, the staff of the Ministry of Education released quite a number of butterflies. Among them were three bred swift-flying butterflies. They look different from ordinary butterflies and are much faster..."

"...The goal of this round is to find them and bring them back here. The person who finds the butterfly will receive 3 points, 2 points, and 1 point in that order."

After the rules were announced, Seno took the lead and ran towards Xumi City. In his words,

“Winners are always on their way to victory!”

Hines stared at Seno's back and muttered to himself,

"It seems that Seno is really going to do everything he can to get that rare card."

As soon as he finished speaking, Hines felt his arm being pulled.

"Okay, it's time for us to take action. We can't let others get there first!"

Egolia pulled Hines' arm and also adopted the strategy of the early bird catches the worm, unlike other schools that possessed various special skills.

Egolia's own skills are mainly medical, and even when she enrolled in the School of Religion to study the courses of the School of Cause and Effect, the courses are mainly based on various social and economic theoretical knowledge.

As for why she didn't consider asking Xines for help, Egolia just smiled and said,

"I still think only living butterflies will get points."

There is no doubt that these are of no help when it comes to catching butterflies, so it is better to set off early than to waste time!

"Egolia, do you have any ideas?"

After the two of them wandered aimlessly in Xumi City for a while, Hines finally couldn't help but question. It wasn't that he didn't trust Egolia, but this was the third time he had seen this beverage store!

Wait, a soda shop? Third time?

Hines frowned and realized that things were not that simple!

Before Egolia could answer his previous question, Hines immediately added,

"If there's nothing else to do, why don't we buy a drink to replenish our energy?"

As expected, a subtle smile appeared on the corner of Egolia's mouth.

"But, we're in a competition right now, and there's so many people lining up at that store, we can't waste time..."

Listening to Egolia's high-sounding reasons, the corners of Xines' mouth twitched continuously.

"It's okay, you continue to participate in the competition, I will come to you after I buy it."

"Then it's up to you!"

Eugloria contentedly handed Xines a small bag of Mora, which contained about 10,000 Mora in change, more than enough to buy two drinks...

Thinking of this, Hines quickly corrected his wrong idea. How could it be more than enough?

It’s obviously barely enough!

After all, in addition to the expenses for drinks, he also had to feed his hungry piggy bank.

Ginez's pocket money is up!

After sending Hines away, Egolia also began to concentrate on finding the butterfly. As for why she didn't take Hines with her...

Because she just noticed that an ordinary butterfly turned around and ran away after seeing Hines. Egolia guessed that it might be the residual pollution in Hines' body that scared these little guys.
