Golden Fox with System

"Ohhhhhhhh!"

*Clap! Clap! Clap!*

With the end of the alchemy tournament, the audience honored them with screams, whistles, and thunderous applause. When the audience became calm sitting in the stands, Afonso, Presenter of the Forge Tournament appeared in front of everyone and said out loud, "Hello, ladies and gentlemen. I hope you are having a good night."

"Yessss!"

Presenter Afonso proudly spoke in an animated voice, "As everyone knows, 150 Participants went through the first stage of the forging tournament. The rules for the second stage are simple: those with points from the first round can use the points to purchase items from these merchants."

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of 10 people pulling carts with their hands brought them to the arena. They then prepared a large table and placed items necessary to forge weapons on top.

When the merchants finished settling down, Presenter Afonso Continued, "As everyone can see, each one sells different sets of items all the way up to force level 3 weapons. Each set has a value depending on the quality and also has furnaces. To get the furnaces, participants also had to buy from traders, and depending on the quality of the furnace, the price increases."

It was a matter of logic. If they bought a very expensive furnace and made a mediocre weapon, the points they would receive would be reduced. But if you bought a low-quality furnace and bought high-quality materials to forge a weapon, you would also have a chance to create low-quality weapons. If they bought both, it would be almost impossible, and only those in the top 10 would make it past the round.

After all, a high-quality furnace was 50 points, medium quality were 25 points, and low quality 10 points. The set for items of force weapons cost either 30 high-quality points, medium quality cost 10 points, and low quality cost 5 points. The only options participants had was at most a medium quality furnace and to buy medium quality weapon sets for 10 points each.

As they were to forge weapons of level 3, the amount presented when forging the weapons also increased by a great difference. Low quality was 5 points, medium quality 20 points, high quality 50 points, and perfect quality was 200 points.

"Now that they have understood the rules, tournament participants have 30 minutes to enter the arena and use their points for the next stage of the tournament!" Presenter Afonso announced loudly.

Many were quick to enter the arena and started choosing the best option for the next round, while others already knew what to buy before they even entered the arena. Theo, on the other hand, was unconcerned. He had many points and knew that not everyone could buy high-quality items.

"I'm going. Wish me luck," Theo turned to his group and said with a smile.

"I know that d-dad is only kidding, but Emma wishes dad to be very lucky!" Little Emma stammered a little at first and said with a sweet smile.

"Yes, dad. Yui believes in you." Little Yui stood on Theo's toes in front of him, wanting a hug. When Theo bent down, she hugged him and kissed his face several times. Theo smiled heartily in response.

Little Emma wanted to do the same, but she felt shy and the thought of doing so made her blush red. She lowered her head and sighed, thinking that one day she would be more daring. She clenched her hands into a fist, swearing a determined oath.

After saying goodbye to his wives, each with a kiss, Theo went to the arena.

When Theo appeared in the arena, the audience around took a deep breath in unison. Yes, he was the star of this tournament. If it had spotlights, the lights would all be on him. When Theo smiled and said goodbye to the audience, which in reality was for his group, it made the audience go wild. Loud screams and loud claps echoed throughout the arena.

The girls screamed his name frantically; each had a different way of expressing the love they felt for him as fans. This caused a wave of envy in the other participants competing against Theo. Although some of them were recognized and even received some applause when entering the arena, it was not at all so scandalous; it was the difference between heaven and earth.

"Okay, ladies and gentlemen, I know you're all excited, but let's calm down so we don't mess up the tournament." Host Afonso was in a cold sweat trying to appease the audience. In all the blacksmith tournament history, nothing like this had happened before.

The audience calmed down a bit after he said these words, but the female audience members' eyes were like headlights as they gazed at Theo. It wasn't just his good looks. Theo was also very powerful and talented, which gave women a feeling of comfort and protection from him. In addition, he had more than one woman, which made many daydream of being "sisters" to Theo's women.

"Being so popular must be difficult~" Suddenly, a pleasant and sweet voice came from behind Theo and, at the same time, a fragrance hit him.

Theo turned and saw Manuela, a beautiful lady wearing green silk clothes with long red hair and bright blue eyes.

"Not so much," Theo said with a friendly smile. This girl gave him a strange but pleasant feeling.

"Have you thought about what to choose when exchanging your points?" Manuela curled her fingers around the tip of her red hair that landed over her shoulder and extended just below her breasts.

"Mm, I think so," Theo replied, "I'm going to exchange for a high-quality furnace and I think 15 high-quality sets are fine."

"Hehe. Even if you exchange for all that, with your current points you will not spend even half of it," Manuela smiled. She was not at all concerned about the tournament. She came here to meet her idol, and having the chance to speak with him in person was one of the most pleasant things for her.

"What can I say? Even if I spend more, I don't need that much," Theo said.

Manuela nodded; she knew it was true. Even if Theo did nothing and didn't spend his points, she knew he would still be qualified for the next step.

"By the way, your clothes are very peculiar," Manuela said with a shy smile, "You look really handsome wearing them."

Theo was wearing a white button-down shirt with three-quarter sleeves, gray sweatpants, and white sneakers. Although Theo looked casual, he was very pleasing to the eyes. In addition, the white blouse, which was close to Theo's perfect body, mainly gave a warm and seductive feeling.

Theo smiled at her with piercing eyes and said, "Thank you. You look beautiful as well."

*Bump... Bump...*

Manuela felt her heart speed up very quickly when she heard that. Even though it was courtesy, happiness overflowed in her heart. She became so flushed that it was possible to see her neck, normally as white as snow, turn to the color of a red pepper.

"Thank you..." She said in a mosquito voice.

Not wanting to make the girl even redder, Theo said with a thin smile, "If we continue to waste time we will end up not exchanging our points. We have to go."

"Y-Yes!" Manuela raised her voice without thinking straight and felt shy once again. She took a deep breath and went over to one of the traders. Theo wasted no time either.

Before Theo started shopping, someone shouted and pointed at him, screaming, "This is not fair!"
