"Ladies and gentlemen, the audience that is neither ladies nor gentlemen!"
"The long-awaited Jiang City Hero Battle has finally begun!"
On the TV screen, a young female host wearing a decent shirt and skirt had a sweet smile. She had flaxen hair tied up, the ends of her hair were slightly curled, and her eyes were in the shape of crescent moons when she smiled.
"I am today's host, Qian Yun." The female host pointed to an old man next to her, "I am honored to have the city's famous Eastern Mountain Sect Leader Elder Wei invited as our guest commentator for this ranking battle."
Next to him was an old man in black with white hair and beard. When he heard the introduction, he waved his hand towards the camera, "Hello everyone, I am Wei Ping." Eastern Mountain Sect used to be Jiang City's first-class large sect. Although it has declined slightly, the foundation is still there. Wei Ping This Sect Leader is considered highly respected in the city's cultivation circles. With the Sixth Realm's peak cultivation, everyone who sees him will call him Elder Wei.
The ranking of this guest is much higher than that of the Sixth Realm, the casual cultivator Guo Zhanlu in the points competition.
"This year our ranking battle adopts a brand new competition system. It is no longer the large battlefield attack and defense mode that everyone is familiar with in the past." Female host Qian Yun started the topic and said, "Elder Wei, have you heard about this?"
"Of course." Elder Wei said with a smile, "Since I am going to be a guest, of course I have learned about it in advance. Our Nightmare Town secret realm this year, but True Person Qu Guang specially used his connections to apply. Normally, it would not be our Jiang City's turn to use this secret realm. The good thing about this secret realm is that it is your ordinary combat trial, which can only test your combat strength."
"But in Nightmare Town, in addition to checking your pure combat power when fighting Nightmare Object at night, during the day you communicate with local residents and complete tasks, which all require intelligence and understanding. Doing these things to win rewards is helpful for fighting at night, but it does not weaken the importance of combat power. I think this change is very good, but Let us select the truly most talented young genius to be City Hero." "It turns out that there is a profound meaning in conducting ranking battles in Nightmare Town." Qian Yun said with a smile, "Thank you Elder Wei for explaining to us, during the period before the secret realm screen has been transmitted, Elder Wei can you tell us, are there any players you are optimistic about in this City Hero Battle?" "Without a doubt, of course it is Hu Yunting." Elder Wei said categorically, "Everyone knows the value of Five Great Immortal Sects, Hu Yunting as our Jiang City is the only child who practices in Five Great Immortal Sects, and that is the pride of our River City! Haha, I am not only optimistic that he will get the seat of City Hero, I am also optimistic that he will become our River City captain! I believe there are many viewers who think the same as me, right?"
"I believe the name Hu Yunting is familiar to everyone. As far as I know, there is a casual cultivator named Yue Wen who seems to be very famous recently." Qian Yun asked, "Elder Wei, do you know anything about him?"
Elder Wei immediately curled his lips and said, "You can't be a casual cultivator. It seems like he has some skills. He's just a little clever and won't be popular. If he is really talented, how could he not be as talented as Immortal Gate? I don't think you need to pay too much attention to these, and you should pay more attention to Immortal Gate Talents among disciples." "Hoho, it seems that Elder Wei is not optimistic about the future of the casual cultivators." Qian Yun quickly said, "The secret realm scene has been transferred. Will the situation be like what Elder Wei predicted? Let us wait and see."
The screen cut away, Elder Wei quietly took out his mobile phone from his pocket and opened the chat software.
There is a message in the interface, "In addition to praising Mr. Hu, the boss has another request. There is a casual cultivator named Yue Wen who has been very popular recently. He needs to be suppressed to prevent him from attracting too many people's attention. If you do a good job, you can add more resources to the Eastern Mountain Sect."
Elder Wei secretly replied with two words, "Don't worry."
After replying, the scene in the secret realm has been transferred in, and the first shot after the panorama is indeed Hu Yunting.
I saw him observing carefully in the room in case he missed any clues. His fair and ordinary facial features had a hint of master's calmness. After walking around in a circle, he picked up the newspaper on the table.
"Yao." Elder Wei immediately exclaimed, "As expected of Hu Yunting, it was Five Great Immortal Sects who came out. Look how carefully he reads the newspaper!" After reading the newspaper in the house, Yue Wen walked out of the cabin and came to the streets of the town.
There are famous signs nailed on the door of the wooden house. There are more than a dozen small wooden houses like this on this street. The contestants' residences are randomly assigned to various parts of the town, so when Yue Wen came out, what he saw was not a crowd of practitioners, but a normal bluestone street with scattered local residents walking on the road, giving it a sense of life.
However, at about the same time that Yue Wen pushed out the door, the contestants who were refreshed on this street came out one after another. Because they all knew that communicating with local residents might get tasks, so after scanning around, these contestants all rushed out and started to snatch the residents on the street to communicate with them. "Hey! Auntie, do you want to help!"
A middle-aged woman carrying a basket to buy vegetables was the first to be stopped. She looked at the enthusiastic strong man who suddenly appeared in front of her. For a moment, her face was full of fear, and she stood there trembling.
Almost at the same time, the old man walking on the street, the children playing, the girl walking the dog and the dog she was walking were all surrounded by wolf-like contestants, trying to extract tasks from these local residents.
"Uncle, do you need help? I'm very enthusiastic!"
"Kid, do you have any problems at home?"
"Girl, do you have any tasks for me? I like doing tasks the most."
"Woof woof! Woof woof woof?!"
Yue Wen Looking at the scene in front of him, he felt that this scene was really weird. These residents did not look like NPCs in the game, they were real people.
Suddenly a group of big men appear and stop people, stalking them to ask you for help... The problem they want to solve the most right now is you presumptuous foreigners, right?
Just as I was thinking about it, the auntie who bought vegetables couldn't bear it any longer. She threw down her vegetable basket and shouted, "Help! This is indecent."
"Hey!" the strong man opposite said in surprise, "Auntie, please stop talking nonsense..."
Before he finished speaking, a dull man in black uniform suddenly appeared. He only raised his hand slightly and lifted the strong man up by the back of his neck.
"Who is it?" The strong man kicked his legs in the air several times, unable to break free at all.
"I am the security captain of Nightmare Town. If you outsiders continue to harass the local residents, you will be thrown into Nightmare Prison like him." The man in uniform said word by word, his tone was as cold as a machine.
He stared at the strong man in his palm, "You molested a woman, you will be imprisoned in Nightmare Prison for one day."
"I just want her to ask me for help. I'm not..." The strong man wailed desperately in his hands, "You can imprison me if you want. The charge must be provocation, not obscenity! My reputation will last forever..."
"Isn't the charge wrong?" The man in uniform said again, "You are causing trouble and disturbing the people, and you will be imprisoned in Nightmare Prison for half a year."
"Eh, isn't it?" The strong man was shocked, "Is the sentence so different? Then I can be obscene, I just like the aunt... ah..." Amidst the strong man's screams, the security captain jumped up with him and disappeared from everyone's sight.
Everyone looked at him with some sympathy.
But he shouldn't really have to spend half a year in prison. According to the rules here, if you enter Nightmare Prison, the most terrifying Nightmare Object will come at night.
As long as you can't defeat Nightmare Object at night, you will be eliminated...
With this lesson learned, the other contestants suddenly became much more cautious and did not dare to stop the town residents and harass them. Looking at the current situation, Nightmare Town is a place with extremely strict laws.
At most, if you see someone in a daze, walk over and ask politely and quietly, do you need help?
But most of them have no results.
Yue Wen did not act in a hurry. He walked along the street and observed a circle. He hardly saw any contestants who took the initiative to talk to the residents and got the task. It seems that it is not that easy to get the task.
What was written in the newspaper should be regarded as a guide for novices. Everyone at the dam outside the town will definitely receive the task. So Yue Wen did not waste time to strike up a conversation with the residents and followed the guide all the way to the outside of the town.
When we walked to the entrance of the town, there was a sudden sound of smashing in a small shop nearby. With a loud bang, a man wearing a brown leather jacket was thrown out of the window.
"Ouch..." He rolled on the ground and wailed, "You cruel foreigner, I'm going to report you to the security team and put you behind bars!"
"Ho ho! Go ahead and file a lawsuit and see if anyone will pay attention to you!" An arrogant female voice came from inside.
Yue Wen suddenly felt a little familiar.
When he looked into the store, he saw a woman wielding a flaming silver stick, smashing things wantonly in a grocery store. The whole store was already on fire.
When Yue Wen saw this scene, his eyes almost popped out, "Xing'er?!"
"What are you doing?!"
