Chapter 376 - 376 Kill Time With Dye

376 Kill Time With Dye

Su Bai rubbed his eyes. He was not woken up by his own alarm clock but by Roger.

The competition would begin at 10 a.m., and the assessment was only one hour.

Su Bai set his alarm at 8 a.m. Two hours was more than enough for him to eat, pack and arrive at the venue.

But Roger had different thoughts, he kept calling Su Bai at 6 a.m., and he never gave up even after Su Bai hung up.

Finally, after Roger had made nearly ten calls, Su Bai turned off his phone.

However, it did not stop Roger. He went straight to Su Bai’s door and knocked.

Su Bai was really helpless. He asked, “Do you know what time it is?”

Su Bai’s face was full of anger as he said that. It had been a long time since he had been woken up so early.

Roger smiled and said, “Half past six in the morning. I just wanted to bring you to the venue and be familiar with it.”

Su Bai was annoyed. He thought, ‘It’s just a competition. Why do I need to be familiar with the venue? Aren’t I going to just take the stuff and use it in the competition?’

Su Bai’s face darkened as he suppressed the urge to punch Roger and listened to Roger’s nagging along the way.

Roger said, “I know you are very talented. But this time is different. The main reason is that some families want to recruit many Alchemists, so they will use methods. For example, if you join the S family, but the W family also wants you. If the W family’s strength is below the S family’s, it’s fine. Once the W family’s strength is higher than the S family’s, then your research in the S family might suffer a blow.”

Su Bai sighed, “Why is there still someone using such a method?”

Roger said helplessly, “There’s no other way. It’s not about being new. It’s fine as long as it’s useful. So, you should know what to do when you look at these families.”

Su Bai thought for a while and said, “But I don’t plan to join any family.”

Roger shook his head helplessly and said, “Even if so, temporary cooperation is fine. After all, these family disputes are really very subtle.”

Su Bai did not take Roger’s words to heart. However, he did not want Roger to worry too much, so he pretended to understand those families’ backgrounds.

Fortunately, there were not many families at the moment. Su Bai took a quick glance and found that there was also the Yadi Family.

However, the Yadi family had not given Su Bai the resources that they had promised him. He did not know why they had the cheek to show up.

Su Bai thought now was not the time to ask for resources. When he walked out of the competition, he would immediately take back what was promised to him.

Roger showed Su Bai the introductions of these families and took a glance, including which research institute was under which name and what was the direction of the other party’s development.

Su Bai yawned and looked at Roger. Su Bai said, “Are you also pretending to cooperate with the other party first? But how did you get out of it now?”

Roger smiled and said, “I did take a fancy to the other party’s company. It’s quite a strong company. The treatment is also very good. I have learned a lot from it, and the other party also saw a newcomer who was easier to control and broke up with me. However, the other party won’t let me leave so easily. I chose to open my own research institute, and the other party chose to cooperate with me.”

Su Bai did not say anything. It could only be said that Su Bai was not used to this kind of behavior. He would not do things that he did not want to do, and no one could stop him from doing what he wanted.

After walking around, they finally understood the situation. At the same time, it was finally time for Su Bai to compete. He thought he had arrived early and entered the venue half an hour earlier.

However, when Su Bai looked around, he realized that there were even more people around who had arrived earlier than him. They had to queue up in front of a robot to receive their bracelets.

First, the participants entered their competition ID in front of the robot, then followed another robot to collect the relevant bracelet and mask.

Su Bai’s bracelet and mask were numbered 33. But before him, there were at least seventy to eighty participants.

The bracelet was used to identify the participants, while the mask was used to cover the face.

Su Bai looked at the mask in his hand. He felt something was wrong. Previously, it was a bracelet. This time, he looked at the bracelet carefully and realized that there was only one number in it.

Other than that, there was no energy or magic power. However, this mask did not seem right.

This time, Su Bai used an illusion technique and directly conjured an identical mask. Then, he was brought into the assessment hall by the robot.

When Su Bai was sitting in his seat, he always felt that someone was looking at him. When he turned around, he saw someone waving at him.

At the same time, the other party’s mouth clearly read his own name: “Hello, Su Bai.”

Su Bai nodded and looked at his number, 66. He praised that participant in his heart for his capability to recognize him.

After entering the assessment hall, Su Bai realized that there was a surveillance camera on his seat. This camera was used for live broadcasts. Not only could it see his entire body, but it could also see his movements directly. It was good at finding angles.

In addition, many cameras could monitor the entire competition venue.

There were still five minutes left before the match started. The robot walked in with a basket full of materials.

Su Bai could not imagine that in an environment with so many robots, they still needed someone to supervise with their eyes.

However, Su Bai was not very concerned about these things. As long as he compete seriously, it would be fine anyway.

The main thing was that the items given in this competition were very attractive. The winner would get a bonus and a Saint Crystal.

Su Bai had only heard of Saint Crystals and never really came into contact with it. It was something that only top-notch Alchemists could come into contact with.

The top-notch Alchemists could only watch. No matter how powerful an Alchemist was, the Saint Crystals in their hands were very rare.

As long as he got first place in this competition, Su Bai would be able to see what kind of item a Saint Crystal was. Even Roger had never seen it before.

Soon, when the items were handed to Su Bai, he only took a few glances. The materials given were ordinary iron, copper, crystals, some woods, and some dye to color his product later.

The dye used was not considered as a selection criterion. Regardless of whether it was good-looking or not, the final result would always be good-looking.

The reason why there was a dye was because of the rules of the competition that a participant could not leave the venue before the competition ended.

In other words, if the participants used ten minutes to finish, they would not be able to leave even if they slept here for the rest of the time.

The dyes existed for the participants to kill time.

Su Bai smiled and said, “That’s music to my ears!”
