Chapter 270: Winter Agricultural Festival, Two Kings Competition, Fire Seed of the Heavenly Gate
On the first day of December, the Winter Agricultural Festival was held.
For the Eastern War Zone, it was one of the most famous holidays other than the New Year.
This was because the history of the Winter Agricultural Festival could be traced back to the ancient era of the Eastern War Zone!
It could be said that the inheritance was very long!
For every continent in the Eastern War Zone, such a festival had to be held.!!
As one of the longest festivals in history, the Eastern War Zone had always valued this festival very much.
“The initial origin of the Winter Agricultural Festival was that humans had developed various special meals that allowed them to resist the invasion of soul beasts in harsh and difficult environments. The meaning behind it also symbolized the tenacious will of humans and the fighting spirit that never gave up in despair and sought hope.”
“It’s no longer about commemorating humanity’s victory in defeating soul beasts.”
“Its meaning is very profound.”
There were traditional festivals in the Eastern War Zone that commemorated the ancestors and soul beasts. They all had profound meaning.
It was like a festival to commemorate soul beasts. It was called the Myriad Beast Festival, at the beginning of summer around June.
It was also one of the most famous festivals. It originated from the war of the Fallen Ancient Era.
The Myriad Beast Festival was even more famous. It was not only limited to the Eastern War Zone, but it was also very popular in the seven great war zones of the Federation.
It was a worldwide holiday for three days.
The Winter Agricultural Festival was a traditional festival in the Eastern War Zone.
The Myriad Beast Festival was a traditional festival of the Federation.
“During the Winter Agricultural Festival, we humans usually have to wear various combat clothes with an ancient nature. The combat clothes of the ancient era are usually woven with special Cloud Vine Grass and made with the external support of wild beasts.”
“The style of the combat clothes is mostly made up of valiant aura. They were the clothes used by ancient people to fight. However, after developing until now, the valiant aura of the combat clothes has weakened greatly. After so many years of changes, they have become battle ancient clothes that are more beautiful.”
“As for soul pets, they also need to wear ‘ominous clothes’. They need to wear rather fierce-looking clothes and provoke the Contract Soul Masters at the gathering.”
“If the Contract Soul Master accepts the provocation, both sides will enter the battle.”
“At this time, the Contract Soul Master can’t let his soul pet help. He has to rely on his own strength to defeat the soul pet that provoked him.”
“If the Contract Soul Master loses, they can only obtain a consolation prize. Soul pets will obtain rare rewards.”
“If the Contract Soul Master wins and the soul pet loses, this soul pet will only receive a consolation reward. The Contract Soul Master will receive a rare reward.”
“If the Contract Soul Master maintains a ten win streak, then he will enter the ‘Human King Contest’ of the event.”
“If a soul pet maintains ten consecutive wins, it will enter the ‘Beast King Contest’.”
“The climax of the festival is the ultimate battle between the Human King and the Beast King!”
“Two Kings Competition!”
Wang Che carefully explained the content of the Winter Agricultural Festival to the little caterpillar and the Magnetic Sword.
There were many projects in such a grand event.
The most famous was the Two Kings Competition!
There were many detailed rules.
Wang Che explained the general process.
“How do the two of you feel?” Wang Che asked with a smile.
The little caterpillar was very interested.
The Magnetic Sword felt that it was average and was a little interested.
As for the green caterpillar’s ferocious clothes, it was actually a green caterpillar’s coat. The coat had various patterns of green caterpillars from the ancient era engraved on it.
It was like a tight skin. After putting it on the little caterpillar, its size would not change. Its appearance would turn into the color of the ferocious suit. Only its head would be revealed, and there would be two curved fangs beside its mouth.
It looked ferocious.
This kind of clothes was not cheap. One set cost thousands or even tens of thousands.
The higher the soul power cultivation, the higher the price of the clothes.
This was because the materials produced were relatively rare.
Wang Che’s clothes were free.
To be precise, it was made of the little caterpillar’s own silk.
The contract he had signed with the Silkworm Fashion Company in the West Peak Continent was still effective, but the various benefits and salaries had greatly increased.
The little caterpillar’s thread was getting more and more effective.
The Silkworm Fashion company was also very practical, especially when Wang Che won the Aviation Cup. His treatment had increased greatly.
Moreover, they did not use Wang Che’s and the little caterpillar’s names to advertise. They did not take advantage of his title.
However, the quality of the thread was enough for that company to rise.
Anyway, they did not need to provide too much every month. They walked the high-end customization route.
Two days ago, when the Winter Agricultural Festival was about to arrive, the Silkworm Fashion Company contacted Wang Che and sent over a few sets of ferocious combat clothes that they had personally made.
Not to mention, it was very compatible with the little caterpillar.
Other than wearing it for the Winter Agricultural Festival, this kind of ferocious clothes could also be used in various complicated wilderness environments. It was a relatively rare combat suit.
At the same time, it wouldn’t stop a soul pet from using any soul skill. Its value was very high.
“Silkworm Fashion sent three sets of ferocious clothes.”
Wang Che opened the clothes box and said, “There’s black, silver, and purple. It’s said that these are the best three types of green caterpillar clothes on the market.”
“Winter Agricultural Festival, which color are you wearing?”
Wang Che pointed at the three sets of clothes.
The little caterpillar used its tail to point at the black one.
Because it was usually black when using the Martial Soul Armament.
It felt that its black skin was abnormally handsome.
“Then black it is.”
“The Winter Agricultural Festival is limited to one person and one pet. If you participate, the Magnetic Sword can’t participate.”
“Ssss.”
The Magnetic Sword indicated that it would watch from the side.
“If you can’t become a ‘Beast King’, that would be too embarrassing.”
Wang Che smiled.
“Ssss!”
The little caterpillar shouted, indicating that it was very confident.
“Other than the project of the Two Kings Competition, there are many other projects.”
“For example, at the Delicacy Conference, you can eat all kinds of delicacies.”
“In the King of Foods Competition, make all kinds of food on the spot. There are no restrictions on the food.”
“Agricultural Festival, and others…”
“I’ll tell you later.”
The Two Kings Competition of the Winter Agricultural Festival was a traditional show.
However, the Winter Agricultural Festival had another most valuable project.
It was called the Fire Seed of the Heavenly Gate.
On the last day of the Winter Agricultural Festival, according to the settings of the various continents, different continents would set up Heavenly Gates in ancient ruins.
There were powerful soul beasts guarding the checkpoint.
All Contract Soul Masters who won ten rounds in the Two Kings Competition had the qualifications to challenge the Heavenly Gate.
They were going to face the powerful soul beasts in the ancient ruins of different Heavenly Gates.
Of course, they did not have to defeat them.
Instead, the way to complete their test was not necessarily through a battle.
They had to obtain the Fire Seed of the Heavenly Gate in the ruins, indicating that they wanted to complete the inheritance will of the ancient era.
“Unfortunately, in the past few years, not many people in the various continents have been able to obtain the Fire Seed of the Heavenly Gate.”
“The Fire Seed of the Heavenly Gate of our North River Continent War Zone is set in the ruins of the Emperor Ice not far from the Illusionary Light Island’s Soul Earth. There are many powerful ice-type soul beasts inside. With just the strength of a Contract Soul Master, it’s very difficult to break through the Heavenly Gate guarded by the soul beasts and obtain the ancient Fire Seed.”
After choosing the clothes for the little caterpillar, Wang Che brought the two of them and his classmates to River Capital.
The Winter Agricultural Festival would begin tomorrow.
On the way, he chatted with Shen Mingluan and the other seniors.
Because they were heading to the River Capital together, most of the students might not participate in the Two Kings Competition, but they would definitely not miss the other projects!
The Two Kings Competition had a high requirement for one’s strength.
The first and second-year students basically just watched.
It was only suitable for third and fourth-year students to perform.
The Winter Agricultural Festival was held every year and so was the pageant.
Many professional Contract Soul Masters would also participate.
The requirement for the Two Kings Competition was that the soul power level could not exceed 30 and the soul pet level could not exceed 6000 years.
It was a festival for the masses.
If too many powerful professional Contract Soul Masters appeared, it would be a massacre.
Professional Contract Soul Masters could just participate in the professional competition.
The requirement for the professional Contract Soul Master’s test was to have a soul power level of 30.
They did not have to be Level 30, but if a professional Contract Soul Master wanted to complete the test, Level 30 was the threshold.
This did not include certain geniuses.
For someone like Zheng Shaoyang who could complete the vocation assessment in his second year, he was considered a genius.
He could complete the assessment without Level 30. Even if the results were not the best, he was already very impressive to be able to complete the vocation assessment.
“I’ve already participated in the Winter Agricultural Festival last year.”
Shen Mingluan smiled at the new students and said, “However, we’ve never participated in the Two Kings Competition. This time, we’re planning to try. Of course, I’m not strong personally. It’ll depend on whether Little Green Luan can become a Beast King.”
“You have to experience the other projects one by one.”
“Although you’re in your first year and have only studied for half a semester, most of you have just started growing crops.”
“But don’t miss the Delicacy Conference, the King of Foods competition, and the Agricultural Festival.”
“Even if it’s an eye-opener, it’s still very good!”
Many first-year students nodded excitedly.
“In the past Winter Agricultural Festival, you might only have some good food at home. However, now that you’re a Contract Soul Master, many major festivals are closely related to Contract Soul Masters. Therefore, you can participate if you can.”
“Oh right, have you prepared your soul pet’s ferocious clothes and your own battle armor? If you’re short on money, you can rent them.”
“After all, there are only three days of events. If you don’t participate in the Two Kings Competition, you can rent it to experience the atmosphere! It doesn’t cost much!”
The seniors taught their juniors the experience.
Actually, they were not short of money.
If one worked hard to complete the school’s missions, they could exchange points for resources. If they lacked money, they could sell these resources.
If they did not lack money, it could be used for cultivation.
At the same time, they could use his soul pet or martial soul to do many part-time jobs.
As long as one was not lazy, they would not lack money.
The academy itself had resources and points.
Wang Che felt that this Senior Shen Mingluan had a lot of connections.
She brought the new students of the agriculture major and rented a few villas around the third ring of River Capital for the new students.
This area was very close to the River Capital Stadium where the Winter Agricultural Festival was held.
It was not simple to rent these villas at this time.
Moreover, these villas were not only used for entertainment.
There were many training grounds inside.
It was more like a training villa. Not only was the environment excellent, but the surrounding conditions were also very convenient.
However, to be able to develop the Hundred Fragrance Soul Bean, she indeed did not lack money.
Actually, it was even more impressive that it could be developed and sold through her channels.
Therefore, not only were the third-year students respected, but even the fourth-year students respected this Senior Sister Shen. It was no wonder she was so popular in the Forest Academy and knew some students from other universities.
“The Winter Agricultural Festival lasts three days. Tomorrow is the opening. Everyone, don’t eat in the morning.”
Tian Xiaoyu followed beside Shen Mingluan and smiled as she said to the many new students, “Bring your identification documents. The first day of the Winter Agricultural Festival is eating and more eating! However, there are also competitions! Many seniors in the third and fourth years will put out many medicinal meals. You’re in charge of eating and evaluating.”
“Also, don’t feed your soul pets. When the time comes, there will be many delicious staple food and snacks.”
“The large corporations of the North River Continent will display all sorts of soul pet staple foods, snacks, side dishes, and so on! They will all be tasted for free! If you can give a useful evaluation during the tasting, you will obtain very valuable rewards!”
“They will give you a ‘Delicacy Badge’. After the Delicacy Conference ends, the one with the most Delicacy Badges will be called the ‘Glutton King’. There will be a very generous reward!”
“You can understand the specific rules yourself.”
“Remember! Don’t eat anything! You have to go empty-handed! This is a lesson I learned last year!”
Tian Xiaoyu held her forehead and said with an exaggerated expression.
The students laughed.
They probably remembered that this senior had eaten her fill last year and ran to participate in the conference. In the end, she could only watch as countless delicacies slipped past her lips.
“Junior Wang, with your level, I think there’s hope for you to win the title of ‘Glutton King’!”
Tian Xiaoyu looked at Wang Che and chuckled.
“That can’t be.” Wang Che also smiled and said, “There are many geniuses in the North River Continent. I don’t dare to say that I’m number one in terms of food. For example, Kong Shijin’s gluttony level is very high.”
“That’s true.” Kong Shijin stood up and said rather arrogantly, “In terms of various crops and agricultural methods, not to mention Brother Wang, even Shui Qingling can surpass me.”
“I’m not good at other things except eating. I’ve grown a lot in terms of eating in the past two months. Many of the missions I’ve done are related to eating.”
“The food at the Delicacy Conference is not simple,” Shen Mingluan said with a mysterious expression, “Perhaps you eat very well, but that doesn’t mean you can eat a lot, okay?”
“Don’t underestimate the food on the Winter Agricultural Festival. Many meals are great supplements. Those whose physiques are not strong enough…”
“…won’t last long!”
“Soul pets are also… the Winter Agricultural Festival gathers countless top-notch food in the North River Continent! Even the professors in the various universities’ cooking major personally refine various top-notch food. The soul power level is too low. Those who don’t train well usually can’t eat much!”
Shen Mingluan chuckled, “Half a month ago, the Edgeless Heavenly King taught us to train ourselves. How many people insisted on trying to train themselves?”
“Those humans from the ancient era fought soul beasts all year round. Even if their martial souls are equipment martial souls, their physiques are extremely powerful. Otherwise, they would not be able to eat those special meals.”
“The Delicacy Conference looks like a meal, but it’s actually a test of your physical strength.”
“I can only say that you should try to eat more…”
Kong Shijin’s expression fell.
Many students were enlightened.
Wang Che nodded and smiled, “That’s not bad.”
