Chapter 309 Undercurrent

Zion City, the headquarters of the Parrot Newspaper.

In the editor-in-chief's office, more than a dozen parrots sighed.

The Parrot Newspaper has been very depressed these days.

The printed newspapers have piled up into a small mountain, and no one cares.

The sudden emergence of the "Star Network" has almost effortlessly snatched all their business.

In just a few days, all the parrot reporters in the entire federation were almost unemployed.

Senbei can exchange intelligence and news for a certain amount of compensation.

If it is an exclusive big news, the price is still very generous.

Although Senbei is not as flexible and hidden as parrots, each Senbei has an owner.

Many of their owners have noticed this business opportunity and switched to become reporters.

"No!"

"If this goes on, we will all starve to death!"

"We must find out the mastermind behind the Star Network."

The white parrot wave, surrounded by many parrots, has been silent.

This incident is indeed a big shock.

For thousands of years, the reason why the Parrot Newspaper has been prosperous is because of the convenience of parrots to obtain information.

And now their position has finally been shaken.

"Okay."

Ripple finally said the first sentence with difficulty.

The originally noisy room suddenly calmed down.

"This matter... I have already sent someone to investigate."

"Our Parrot Newspaper has reached a historic turning point."

"The traditional newspaper industry is destined to decline, and we should think about new ways out."

Ripple looked at their silence one by one, looking through the window to the distant sky.

Regarding the "Star Network", someone is more anxious than them...

Rainbow Hall.

The rematch of the Ten Schools League is over.

The quarter-finals will be held in three days.

Rainbow Square has returned to its former tranquility.

At this time, the "Carnival" celebration at the end of the year is getting closer and closer.

The Prism Organization suddenly became busy again.

A secret meeting room suddenly restarted, and the top leaders of the Prism Organization gathered here.

"Why is there no news from that 'Star Network'?"

"We...we are trying to determine the location of the star shell that sent the signal through the range positioning method."

"But...there is no blind spot in the signal of the Star Network!"

"No blind spot?"

"How can there be no blind spot!"

The gloomy middle-aged man stood up suddenly and reached out to grab the man with glasses who was reporting.

The man with glasses was scared. The intelligence team leader was notorious and could really kill people.

"I...I even contacted several caravans going out to sea, and they all received the Starlight Newspaper of the Star Network."

After hearing this answer, the middle-aged man was about to punch the man with glasses.

The old man sitting at the head of the table finally spoke: "Rudolf..."

The old man had white hair and spoke weakly, but he seemed to have an unchangeable will. He just called a name, and the middle-aged man seemed to freeze and then let go of the man with glasses.

"Hu~"

The middle-aged man who was the intelligence team leader, that is, Rudolf, took a long breath.

He gradually calmed down. The matter of the Star Network had made him anxious in the past few days.

"As long as it is a magic network, it cannot be separated from the Star Shell. The Star Shell can only transmit the signal when it is hung high. The transmission range is also certain. It is impossible to have no dead angle."

"Unless..."

The people at the meeting focused their eyes on him.

"Unless... there are enough Star Shells."

The old man nodded slightly when he heard the words. In the dark room, a pair of eyes full of wisdom were bright.

...

Bofeng Manor.

Today is particularly deserted.

There are only the last eight clubs left in the Ten Schools League.

The strength of these eight clubs is no weaker than that of ordinary small guilds.

Ethan stayed in his room as usual.

A message appeared on today's notebook.

"Well done."

Ethan's face was stunned at first, and then turned into a smile.

No one knew that Ethan was responsible for the Star Network.

Except for his teacher Connie.

Because the information about the Star Shell that Ethan got before was from Connie.

Who could have thought that the master behind the Star Network was actually a student.

And he participated in the competition in Prism so openly.

"Prism should have started to investigate this matter. Be careful not to expose it recently."

Looking at the words on the notebook, Ethan frowned.

In fact, there is a huge limitation to building the Star Network.

That is the source of Star Shells.

Star Shells are only produced in the Fountain of Youth. If you follow this clue, you can still find clues.

Ethan estimated that it would not be so easy to go to the Fountain of Youth in the future.

Time passed in a flash.

Three days later, the quarter-finals kicked off.

After three days of brewing, the Star Network market has become white-hot.

Looking at the amount above, Ethan secretly smacked his lips.

He still underestimated the enthusiasm of the masses for betting before the war.

The eight teams currently in the competition: Ash Hammer, Mithril Tears, Reverse Bell, Little Red Riding Hood, Hotel Transylvania, White Fang, Fairy Tail, Musk Cork.

The lowest odds are for Ashmaul, only 1.3.

The next are Mithril Tears and Hotel Transylvania, 1.9 and 2.1 respectively.

The highest odds are for Fairy Tail, 11.7.

That is to say, if Fairy Tail advances to the next round of semi-finals, it will receive ten times the reward.

But it also shows that the number of people betting on Fairy Tail is the least.

It is still the familiar lottery.

Eight teams, eight numbers.

The results came out soon.

Muscat Cork VS Little Red Riding Hood.

Gray Mallet VS White Fang.

Mithril Tears VS Hotel Transylvania.

Reverse Bell VS Fairy Tail.

Four games, a new focus of the market.

Seeing this result, Ethan's expression did not change.

Because the current eight teams are very strong.

It will be a tough battle for Fairy Tail no matter who they play against.

The three clubs with the highest chance of victory: Gray Mallet, Mithril Tears and Hotel Transylvania.

Unfortunately, Mithril Tears played against Hotel Transylvania.

This game is worth looking forward to.

At this time, on the outskirts of Rainbow Square.

"Gray Hammer, defeat your opponent, you will definitely be the champion!"

"How is that possible? Little Red Riding Hood is the dark horse of this year."

"If we talk about dark horses, it must be Fairy Tail! I won a lot in the last game."

"Hehe, stop it, buddy. This is the quarter-finals, there is no lucky link~"

"I..."

"It's a pity that my two favorite clubs are facing each other."

"My goddess will definitely win."

"Beauty is justice!"

On the outskirts of the square, on the referee's seat, representatives of Prism and the seven major guilds are already in place.

"This year's Mithril Tears is coming with great momentum."

The representative of the Brotherhood said lazily, holding his chin.

"Reverse Bell is also good, the tactics are very exciting, and it is a good quality for team development."

"Reverse Bell is indeed good, but it is still a little behind Gray Hammer."

"The tactics of Gray Hammer are too monotonous, too dependent on the cooperation of Iliff and Allen, and have strong limitations. Once it is successfully defended, it will inevitably be passive."

"(ˉ▽￣～) Tsk~~, Nora, you are too sour. The strength of Gray Hammer is unquestionable, but the Fairy Tail that the Wizard Tower has set its sights on is questionable."

Nora was not angry when she heard the other party's sarcasm.

"Then let's wait and see!"
