Chapter 24 Xinfei Road Bike Race

At the previous press conference, Kennard, as the CEO of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, made some impassioned words in place of Xu Yi, indicating that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will enter a stage of rapid expansion and development.

However, in the eyes of everyone, Xu Yi, the president, has really been a little…

If at first he published three theoretical books related to magical machinery through the daily publishing house under the "Bonta Daily", it was still related to his own business, then he announced the opening of a new flying academy. But it's kind of weird.

Although Xu Yi said a long time ago that he would open a comprehensive college, when everyone learned about the college's courses, they were still confused.

It’s okay to offer basic magic courses. Why are there so many messy courses in Chinese, mathematics, physics, chemistry, astronomy, geography, history, etc.?

In the eyes of many people, the only useful ones are astronomy and geography. As for Chinese, mathematics... Teaching reading, reading and writing and simple arithmetic, shouldn't children learn it by themselves in the process of growing up? Yet?

To this, Xu Yi responded in the "Bonta Daily", claiming that the language courses taught in this Xinfei Academy are nothing too special, but mathematics, physics, chemistry and other courses are all for mastering magic The knowledge of machinery lays the foundation, and it is something that can greatly promote the development of the magic industry in the future.

According to this explanation, this academy can be regarded as having something to do with his own work.

However, the next thing, people can't connect it with the work that Xu Yi should do anyway.

After a month of preparation, the Xinfei Road Cycling Race finally started on a hearty autumn day in mid-October.

After being bombarded for a month by the powerful propaganda offensive of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce in major newspapers and flyers that almost covered the entire Bangta City, not only the people of Bangta City, but also the people of several surrounding cities. The existence of this road cycling race has also been known for a long time.

From the propaganda, it is known that this road cycling race is a race funded by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce. As for the content of the race, it is very simple, that is, who is faster than who rides a bicycle.

Follow the rules of this game. Competitors will start from Bangta City and ride to the end of Rainfall Valley, with a total distance of about 60 kilometers.

Because it is the first competition, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce said that it is only in the preliminary trial stage. Therefore, no special prizes will be prepared, but the first contestant to arrive will still receive a full set of Xinfei brand household magic machinery awarded by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

Calculated, the value of this set of household magic power machinery is more than 200 gold coins, in fact, it is not too small.

In addition to the first place, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce also listed the next ten contestants who passed the finish line as the second prize, and they could get a set of Xinfei brand kitchen and bathroom magic machinery, worth nearly 100 gold coins.

After that, the next 50 contestants who passed the key points won the third prize and received a Xinfei brand heating and cooling magic air conditioner as a reward, worth 30 gold coins.

With such a tempting reward. Immediately attracted many people to participate, even many people who had never bought a bicycle before bought a bike to practice hard within this month, intending to win prizes through surprise practice.

Wait until the day the game is held, according to statistics. The number of people who signed up actually reached a terrifying 10,000!

Because the number of participants was somewhat unexpected, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce was forced to announce that the 10,000 people would set off in five batches, and then determine the ranking according to the time from the starting point and the time to reach the end point.

Because of this, the game that was originally expected to be completed in one morning was forced to be extended to the whole day.

But none of the more than 10,000 people who participated in the game had any complaints.

After all, in the eyes of most people, participating in such a road cycling race is a very novel experience. As for the prizes, it's just congratulations attached. It's good to be able to get them, but there's no problem if you don't get them.

Moreover, the New Flying Chamber of Commerce also gave everyone a surprise, that is, before the official start of the game, Xu Yi and Steele, and the great magician Camilla, who had not seen it for a long time, were riding a bicycle and stood in front of the starting point. . It was actually planned to start at the same time as the first batch of players!

Seeing the eager eyes of the onlookers, Xu Yi joked to Steele next to him: "Hey, tell me, these guys are so excited because they see which of the three of us? ?"

Steele rolled his eyes at him: "It's not you anyway." After speaking, he let go of the handlebars and raised his hands to signal to the surrounding crowd. Immediately, the crowd cheered loudly, and then showed a smug smile to Xu Yi. "How about it?"

Xu Yi laughed dumbly, thinking that Steele would always show a naughty look in front of him from time to time, even after getting married.

"Let's look good." Seeing Steele's actions, Xu Yi also became childish. Following Steele's way, he threw his hands with his hands, and waved to the surrounding crowd in a gesture he thought was very handsome.

There was another burst of cheers from the crowd, but it was obvious that the voices belonging to women had to completely overshadow the voices of men.

Steele snorted softly: "President Xu, I didn't expect you to be very popular with girls."

Xu Yi laughed: "I've won awards."

The two looked at each other and laughed at the same time, then looked at the great magician Camilla beside them together.

The great magician Camilla glared at the two of them: "What are you looking at? Do you think I will fight like a child like you?"

The two laughed and exchanged glances. Suddenly they got out of the car at the same time, and rushed to the left and right of the Great Magician Camilla. One of them grabbed his arm and raised it at the same time.

Seeing the appearance of the three of them, the surrounding crowd instantly burst into a deafening burst of cheers, which were obviously much louder than the previous two times, and they were also filled with countless excited shouts.

"Look, grandpa, you still have a high status in the hearts of the people of Bangta City, so you should go out more in the future, so that everyone can see you and feel more at ease." Xu Yi smiled.

"Yeah, Grandpa, if you have nothing to do, you should go out and do more activities. How boring it is to stay in the research room all day." Steele also said.

The great magician Camilla looked at the two of them, with a relieved smile on his face, and shook his head gently: "Okay, I know you are worried about my body. But there is nothing to worry about. Tell you, I have already Once you reach that threshold, it may not be long before you become a fifth-level great magician. I think if you work harder to become a magician, you can live a few more years."

Xu Yi and Steele were surprised at the same time.

"Wow! Grandpa, you are going to become a fifth-level magician? How fast?" Steele shouted with surprise.

The great magician Camilla smiled slightly: "I don't know why, but after I started to study magic machinery, I found that my magic level increased much faster than before." After that, he glanced at Xu Yi. "Hey, boy, even an old man like me can break through. Don't be lazy. If you weren't even a big magician when I became a magician, that would be too outrageous."

Xu Yi nodded with a wry smile: "I will try my best."

Steele took Xu Yi's hand with a smile: "Grandpa, don't worry, I will definitely urge him to become a great magician. When there are two great magicians in our family, my parents will be happy. "

The great magician Camilla laughed. He waved his hand and said, "Okay, I'll talk about these things later. Let's take part in this road cycling race today. Speaking of which, Xu Yi has a lot of messy ideas, and he actually came up with such a race to sell bicycles."

"It's not just for advertising, the promotion of this kind of competition is also good for people's health, isn't it?" Xu Yi called Qu Road.

"Well, I agree with this. So today, neither of you are allowed to control me. I have to ride the 60 kilometers by myself!" Great Magician Camilla waved his hand quite proudly, and did not give Xu Yi and Si Thiel objected to the chance.

The two had no choice but to nod.

Fortunately, although the great magician Camilla is already close to 70, because of the special physique of the great magician, his body is not weak. As long as there is no idea of ​​competition, it is not enough to ride the 60 kilometers slowly. Especially tough.

The three chatted for a while. The atmosphere of the entire competition had already reached its climax under the leadership of the host specially invited by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. When the scheduled competition time came, the host announced the start of the competition loudly, and after a loud bang, Xu Yi and Steele And the great magician Camilla rushed out of the starting point first. The first batch of 2,000 contestants rushed out after them.

Seeing that the great magician Camilla took the lead, Xu Yi and Steele smiled at each other and slowed down at the same time.

The other contestants behind them surpassed the two, and from time to time there were people passing by to greet them before whizzing away.

After a while, the two of them had fallen to the back of the entire team, and there were only players left, who were obviously just as important as they were.

In such a breezy autumn weather, bathing in the warm autumn sun, riding on the highway in the suburbs is actually a quite pleasant enjoyment.

The two of them had no idea of ​​speeding up at all, and while riding slowly, they laughed and chatted, feeling extremely relaxed and relaxed.

Xu Yi's eyes swept across the golden and ripe wheat ears in the farmland on both sides of the road, and suddenly laughed and said, "Speaking of which, the reason why this road cycling race can be held is thanks to these wheat."

"Because Earl Stark had to compromise with you in order to harvest them smoothly, did he agree to your conditions?" Steele raised his mouth and chuckled.

"Yeah, in order to have a good performance in this autumn harvest, our dear Lord of the City is willing to agree to any conditions. Let alone agreeing to hold a road bike race with little influence, even if I ask him to put the mulberry I'm afraid he can only recognize it by pinching his nose when the Kaidun Industrial Zone reopens."

"But I don't think he will do much good." Steele pointed his finger at the wheat fields on both sides of the road in confusion. "During the autumn harvest last year, the wheat fields in Bonta City were as full as they are now. Earl Summer said that there is not much room for improvement in the grain production in Bonta City. No matter how much Earl Stark can think of, I don't think so. It's impossible to increase the grain production too much during this autumn harvest, right?"

Xu Yi smiled: "Don't worry, our beloved city master is not a fool, he must have a solution."

"Really?" Steele glanced at Xu Yi, then looked at the farmland covered with golden wheat seedlings on both sides of the road, still full of puzzlement and suspicion.
