622 The Real Start Of The Competition Might Be In Ten Years (1/2)

”Opening ceremony?”

Hai Yunfan curiously looked in the direction of Wang Lu's finger.

In the plan book, the opening ceremony was indeed designed. After all, the Grand Competition was a major event related to the future of Nine Regions. Its main purpose was to promote cooperation between the two parties. Peace and development were the central themes, moreover, ”friendship first, competition second” was the principle of the grand competition. Thus, if one of the two sides ended up with blood on the face, then that would be incompatible with the theme.

Therefore, before the official opening of the competition, an opening ceremony was also added, which consisted of some entertainment performances by the two sides to create a peaceful atmosphere. As for whether that principle of friendship first, competition second could be maintained after the start of the grand competition, one could only resign it to fate.

Therefore, on the whole, this opening ceremony could only be regarded as an appetizer, which was insignificant in the context of the grand competition. Even Wang Lu himself had not paid much attention to this—assigning the newly rising idol group to raise their thighs would be enough.

However, when Wang Wu presented the beauty contest group report to Wang Lu and happened to turn over to the page that he currently pointed at, a flash of inspiration came to him and he thought of a solution.

”Simply speaking, there is no time limit for the opening ceremony.”

Hai Yunfan was startled for a moment, and then retorted, ”Do you want to delay the opening ceremony indefinitely? But, before the show begins, the programs must be mutually approved.”

”Yes, that's why a show with five thousand programs would be rejected by them. We must create unlimited possibilities in limited programs.”

Hai Yunfan frowned. ”Limited programs… unlimited possibilities?”

Wang Lu was in an inspired state, so he immediately stretched out his hand to write down a line of words on the table.

Program: Calligraphy performance, copy of ”Starting from Zero.”

Hai Yunfan curiously asked, ”I know calligraphy performance, but what is Starting from Zero?”

”You will know.”

Then, Wang Lu wrote another line of words. Program: Group comedy monologue, New Year's greeting.

”I know comedy monologue is a form of entertainment that has gradually become popular in Nine Regions in the recent centuries. It must be very new for the Earth Immortals who have slept for sixteen thousand years, but what's the deal here?”

Wang Lu said with a smile, ”That same sentence, when the time comes, you will know. But for now, let me keep it a secret.”

Seeing that Wang Lu was deliberately holding back the climax, Hai Yunfan shook his head and no longer asked. In any case, since he vividly showed that he already had the victory in hand, he shouldn't have to worry about it.

”By the way, Little Hai, this opening ceremony thing is only known to the three of us in this room. Don't mention it to anyone. If you feel that you can't keep a secret, I can help you wipe your recent memories.”

Hai Yunfan waved his hand. ”No need, just now, you promised that you would give me a vacation after the official start of the grand competition. If you wipe my recent memories, that vacation thing would probably be gone.”

Wang Lu praised him, ”Little Hai, your thoughts are getting more and more meticulous.”

”Hehehe.”

Then Wang Lu cast a glance to his Master, signaling her that there would be another time to talk about this topic.

The next was to tackle the current official duties at hand.

”By the way, have all those cross-dressers been counted?”

Wang Wu said, ”Of course, they have been counted, how could I possibly forget this blackmail material?”

More than a month ago, Wang Lu designed the cross-group competition, with the losing side dressing as the opposite sex as the punishment. However, in practice, for variety of reasons—one of which was the terrifying performance of the King of Ten Thousand Beasts, which had brought a serious psychological scar to everyone—), there was no time to organize a wide range of tours for those crossdressers, so the punishment effect was actually limited.

Later, many people thought that the so-called cross-dressing was just all talk. To actually implement it was impossible, and thus, their fears were eased. In a sense, the last month's competition did not fully meet Wang Lu's requirement.

However, that did not mean that Wang Lu intended to spare them.

Indeed, the resistance to the implementation of this policy was very large. Because, according to his plan, except for the very small number of geniuses, almost everyone would inevitably fail… Was it necessary to let thousands of the elite talents of Nine Regions to dress as the opposite sex? In particular, it might involve Supreme level cultivators, which would make the implementation difficulty even greater.

However, it was exactly because of the difficulty in the implementation that it was more important to implement it resolutely. If the Supreme level cultivator could take the lead in cross-dressing, who would dare to put up a resistance? Unfortunately, despite Wang Lu's ability, he failed to convince He Tu… after all, many of the Elders in Shengjing Sect were also in the cross-dressing list, which put a huge pressure on He Tu himself.

However, at that time, Wang Lu fought alone, but now, he had his Master beside him, and her action power was quite vigorous.

Wang Wu wrote down all the previous losers in the cross-group competition, so that when they had the preparation later, they could be held accountable. There was a huge room for arbitrage here.
