Volume 4 Chapter 145 - Even Great Magicians can’t compare to riding bicycles? (1/2)
The final results of the Banta City bicycle race weren’t that surprising.
The Frestech Chamber of Commerce had sent out five people and these five people had reached the goal before everyone else, taking first to fifth place.
Although the Frestech Chamber of Commerce announced that these five people wouldn’t be ranked and take the prizes, to everyone, the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth place belonged to the Frestech Race Team. As for the others, they were just drinking the remaining soup left by them.
Because the Frestech Race Team’s competitors had taken the absolute lead since the beginning. Most of the other competitors could only be convinced while also feeling a bit sad.
According to the announcement of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, they would be entering the race officially next year. The most important thing was that they would be taking the prizes.
But in just a year, how could they pull back this giant gap and catch up to the Frestech Race Team?
After several days, the «Banta Times» posted another announcement from the Frestech Chamber of Commerce.
In this announcement, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce stated that starting next year, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce would be working with the other companies to host a specialized bicycle competition. It would be considered an official athletic competition.
The Frestech Race Team would not be attending the public Banta City race next year and would participate in the specialized race.
This news attracted everyone’s attention.
What was called a specialized race?
Why was it different from the Banta City bicycle race?
What was the specialization part of it? Was it just because the participants were strong?
If this was true, then it was very good news for the people who participated in the Banta City public bicycle race.
With fewer strong competitors, they would have a higher chance of getting better prizes.
However, when everyone saw the details of the race that had been named the “Frestech Bicycle Circuit Grade Race” for now, they were all shocked.
Because in the announcement, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce stated that the yearly winner of the grand race circuit would have the chance to receive an ultra high prize of fifty thousand gold coins!
Fifty thousand gold coins!
To most people, this was a giant amount of money that they could never even dream of!
If they could obtain fifty thousand gold coins, they wouldn’t have to worry about anything in the future. They could even live the luxurious life that they had dreamed about!
For many people, it didn’t matter what they had to do if they could receive fifty thousand gold coins!
This so-called “Frestech Bicycle Circuit Grade Race” was really this valuable?
“Hey, kid, are you really planning on giving fifty thousand gold coins to the circuit winner?”
With Xu Yi’s current position, the only person who dared to speak to him without any courtesy was naturally Great Magician Camilla.
He looked at the «Banta Times» in his hand before looking at the smiling Xu Yi and giving a strong snort.
“I work hard in the magic research facility for a whole year and you only give me a wage of ten thousand gold coins. Now someone can just be good at riding a bicycle and you’re willing to give them fifty thousand gold coins? It’s five times my worth! Could it be that you think a Great Magician like me isn’t worth anything?”
Xu Yi quickly waved his hand and explained, “No, no, no, of course not. Great Magicians have a place that no one can compare to in my heart, don’t you think, Great Magician Telucci?”
Great Magician Telucci who had been watching Great Magician Camilla with a faint smile said with a nod, “Un, I believe that Xu YI places great importance on Great Magicians, but……” Great Magician Telucci stretched out his voice, “Just like Camilla said, just by riding a bicycle, they can obtain more money than us two Great Magicians. This doesn’t seem right, right?”
Seeing the two Great Magicians with unkind gazes, Xu Yi couldn’t help giving a bitter laugh.
When he was planning this sports event, he had only been thinking about how to create a stir and had forgotten to hold back.
After thinking for a bit, Xu Yi said with a serious look, “Grandfather, Great Magician Telucci, you have to know that only the champion would win fifty thousand gold coins and that isn’t certain. In fact, with the rules of the competition, it is impossible to receive the highest prize.”
“Then how much can they get?” Great Magician Telucci kept asking, “It’s a max of fifty thousand, so it should be twenty thousand gold coins still, right? That is still much higher than us.”
