Having to go to such a far place... Qiao Sang muttered to herself while looking at the information on her phone.
Dragon Country has 13 regions in total.
They are Yuhua Region, Lianbo District, Lian Ke Area, Liaoxi Area, Ancient Mist Region, Xilü Area, Beilun Region, Zhongkong Area, Chong Island, Tuwei Region, Dongjia District, Guriri District, and Zitiya Region.
The vastness of the territory means that most people in Dragon Country can’t visit all the regions in their lifetime.
The distance between regions varies.
To get to Ancient Mist Region, for example, one has to cross Lian Ke Area, Lianbo District, and Chong Island from Yuhua Region.
Even if you take a direct flight, it would still take about ten hours to reach the Ancient Mist Region.
"What’s up?" Ye Xiangting saw her daughter staring at the phone for a long time and asked.
Putting away her phone, Qiao Sang replied, "The teacher said the sectional competition will be in Ancient Mist Region. We’re leaving in three days."
Ye Xiangting stopped what she was doing, turned her head to look at her daughter, and exclaimed in surprise, "That far?"
Qiao Sang responded, "I can’t help it, who made me qualify for the sectional competition."
As the name implies, a sectional competition is a contest that is organized by region.
Although there are 13 regions in the country, regions vary in strength, and players from economically and technologically advanced regions tend to be a bit stronger.
It’s possible that the tenth-ranked contestant from a strong region could be more formidable than the top-ranked contestant from a weaker region.
To ensure that strong regions’ lower-ranked contestants still have a chance to advance to the national competition, the sectional contest adopts a mixed regional competition format.
The 13 regions are divided into four major areas.
One area will have contestants from four regions grouped together to compete.
Accordingly, the number of spots for advancing to the next stage increases to match the number of regions in that area.
Qiao Sang still did not know which regions Yuhua would be grouped with for the competition, but she was certain one of them would be the Ancient Mist Region.
After all, the venues for the sectional competitions are only in the participating regions.
Although Ye Xiangting thought it was far, she didn’t say anything more.
Her daughter had never left Zhehai Province since she was young, let alone traveled to other regions. It was inevitable for her to worry, but her daughter qualifying for the sectional competition was a proud achievement she could boast about for a lifetime. She wouldn’t dream of stopping her.
...
Late at night, the cool breeze blew in, causing the curtains to sway gently. Qiao Sang lay on her bed browsing her phone for travel tips about Ancient Mist Region.
Since she finally had an opportunity to visit another region, she ought to at least take a trip to the local attractions.
Otherwise, who knows when she would be able to visit Ancient Mist Region again.
Suddenly remembering something, Qiao Sang got up, put on her slippers, and went out to the courtyard.
Snowflakes were falling, and the courtyard already had the feel of accumulated snow.
Lubao was still training, while Xiao Xunbao was excitedly piling up snow by the fence.
This degree of dedication was frightening... After marveling inwardly, Qiao Sang spoke up, "Don’t you want to rest for a bit?"
"Lubao."
Hearing the voice, Lubao turned her head to look at Qiao Sang, called out once, indicating it wasn’t necessary.
Qiao Sang continued, "We’re going to Ancient Mist Region in a few days. You’re from there, aren’t there places you’d like to visit?"
"Lubao..."
Lubao stopped her training, turned her head to look at her, and seemed slightly puzzled. freewebnσvel.cøm
Qiao Sang was amused by Lubao’s expression. Lubao always had a cool demeanor, even when she hadn’t gone through a breakup, she had never shown such a "silly" expression.
"Do you have any places you want to go?" Qiao Sang asked again.
"Lubao."
Snap out of it, Lubao hesitated for a moment, then nodded earnestly.
She really did have a place... Qiao Sang smiled and asked, "Which place is it?"
"Lubao."
"Lubao."
Lubao gestured, indicating a place with a tree and a house.
Qiao Sang nodded, "What else is there?"
"Lubao."
"Lubao."
Lubao continued to gesture, there was also a Pet Beast with a long body.
Qiao Sang nodded, signaling with her eyes for Lubao to go on.
"Lubao..."
"Lubao!"
Lubao first seemed lost in reminiscence and then excitedly shouted.
