I Have a Dice Left by a God-Chapter 454 - 46: The Circus

Lin Fei’s eyes grew brighter, "Ever since the Grand Governor’s reform, the status of women in the Li Long Kingdom has been rising. Liberation and freedom are the main themes; could beauty pageants be in line with this development trend?"

"There’s nothing wrong with explaining it that way. Do you want to give it a try?" Kathy smiled.

Lin Fei was silent for a moment, then resolutely nodded, "I’m increasingly thinking Ah Xin’s idea is worth trying. It might really take off. Beauty pageants are a chance for women to showcase their beauty; they have a very wide audience that covers all social strata. But how do we attract them?"

"Set up a top three: champion, runner-up, and second runner-up, with some prize money, and then hold offline ceremonies. The fourth to tenth place also get some rewards. In fact, the rewards are just a gimmick. The ranking is an honor and prestige. In the world of culture, there’s no number one; in beauty, there’s no second. In such a battle of honors, which beauty could resist?" Li Xin said.

"What you just said is actually quite interesting." Suddenly Kathy paused, her eyes sharpening slightly.

"Go on?" Lin Fei was already fully in work mode.

"The cost of this idea is very low. The major expense might be the cost of the Hex Camera, but this is exactly the newspaper’s specialty. Not everyone needs to be photographed; it can be screened through interviews. The first step is to let the newspaper promote a teaser, the second step is an offline audition, once through, the photoshoot is free. The third step is to publish it and see the effect. It sounds simple and easy to execute. The investment should be manageable, right?"

"Completely feasible!" Lin Fei’s pale complexion even had a rosy tint due to excitement. Why hadn’t anyone thought of such a simple, direct, yet super-effective idea before?

"Aunt Fei, let’s eat first. There’s no rush." Li Xin looked at everyone stopping their meal, feeling a bit distressed. This was the masterpiece he’d toiled over all morning.

"Ah Xin is right. Let’s eat first. Work is work. After the meal, I bought tickets for the circus. We’re going to see the Sun Circus performance this afternoon." Kathy said.

Echo immediately got up and gave Kathy a big hug and a peck, "Auntie Kathy, I know you’re the best. You’re the only one who cares for me. I’ve been here for so long, and Mom hasn’t taken me even once. My classmates are all talking about it. The Sun Circus is super popular now and there’s a really interesting clown too. Whenever there’s a discussion, I can’t join in, and they even call me a country bumpkin!"

Seeing Little Echo’s face full of grievance, with tears swirling in her eyes, Li Xin and Kathy couldn’t bear it.

"Enough with that." Lin Fei glared at Echo, knowing her daughter well.

Kathy made the decision, and naturally, no one objected. Li Xin had planned to handle a case in the afternoon, and he wasn’t particularly interested in the circus. After all, he’d seen everything in his past life, and he was looking for an excuse.

"Everyone has to go, no absences allowed. Also, Ah Xin, things are settled with the Canon Law School. I originally intended for you to join Divine Revelation, but even with special admissions, it has to be at the beginning of next year, as per the rules. So, for now, transition through the Tranquility Canon Law School, so you can get used to the atmosphere here. When the enrollment comes next year, I’ll arrange for a transfer to Divine Revelation, and Lu Shuai is also at Tranquility Canon Law School, it’s more convenient to have someone familiar around." Kathy said.

"Sister Kathy, I am really busy with things here..."

"We agreed that you must settle things with the Canon Law School; otherwise, I’ll make you wear small shoes." Kathy said casually.

"The family will make you wear small shoes too!" Lin Fei added another layer.

"There’s another task for you at the Canon Law School this time; I’ll tell you about it later." Kathy added.

Li Xin opened his mouth and smiled wryly, "Fine, fine, my beautiful ladies, as you wish."

"There’s no need to be so aggrieved; I really want you to go to the Canon Law School, and the task is real too. Only you are genuinely suitable." Kathy said.

Kathy and Lin Fei had discussed it many times, and no matter how they thought about it, the Canon Law School was the first choice and the right path. But both of them knew, despite Li Xin’s easy-going appearance, he was quite stubborn at heart. Forcing someone wasn’t feasible. Although he couldn’t enter Divine Revelation Canon Law School directly this time, transitioning through a place like Tranquility wasn’t a bad thing. As Kathy put it, he should experience the flavors first. After all, the Canon Law School is a small society too.

Once he’s in the Canon Law School, he’ll come to appreciate its quality, different from Celestial Capital, or even Hedan. Dragon Capital is the most glorious place for the Canon Law School, a place that values freedom and development. It’s on the forefront of Dao Yuan’s progressive thinking, attracting talented young men and women filled with dreams. No one of this age can resist its charm.

"For a promotion!"

"For enrollment!"

"For beauty!"

"For the circus!"

Cheers~~~

The Sun Circus is the most famous large-scale circus in Dragon Capital, said to have come from the Taptan Empire. In Dao Yuan, where Spirit Beasts are prevalent, it’s the Taptan Empire blessed by the Beast God, especially the high-end market for Messengers, which is monopolized by the Taptan Empire. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

The circus typically doesn’t have a fixed residence. They continuously move between cities, holding various large and small circus performances. The staff turnover is also high. Thanks to the emergence of the Hex Bird Report, the circus’s reputation has spread far better than in the past, giving the circus more opportunities than ever before.

The owner of the Sun Circus knows how to do business. The first stop upon reaching the Li Long Kingdom was Dragon Capital. After performing for a few months and gaining some notoriety, it left Dragon Capital and toured other cities in the Li Long Kingdom, constantly absorbing the cultural customs of the kingdom, and then returned to Dragon Capital. After a period of buildup and momentum, understanding the preferences of the local people, it refined its program and returned to Dragon Capital, now becoming a star.

Unlike when they first arrived, ignored by everyone, Justice, Citizen, and the Flying Bird Daily, the three major newspapers all reported on them, featuring fantastic animals, charming women, thrilling acrobatics, and a hilarious, reckless clown. Performing only twice a month built up huge public anticipation, transforming from a small, simple tent-like show to hosting large performances in Freedom Square. Early shows were sold out, and with each show differing, it made every performance one in high demand and hard to get tickets for.

Among the four most powerful countries on the Eastern Continent, the Moncalleta Kingdom enjoys knight battles, while the Black Meteor Empire indulges in more bloody slave gladiator fights. The Taptan Empire, worshipping the Beast God, has many activities involving interaction with beasts—the birthplace of circuses. However, the Li Long Kingdom has completely banned brutal slave gladiator fights and purely beast-battling entertainment, leaving local circuses facing a difficult transformation until the arrival of the Sun Circus, which in just over a year has formed a new trend.

Around each circus performance, a large market is formed, along with various song and dance activities. The Sun Circus has grown step by step in this atmosphere, from shows with only hundreds of people to ones with thousands, ever since their first arrival in the Li Long Kingdom.
