Chapter 391： Choose your own competition style

Chapter 391 Choose your own way of playing

Officer Du didn’t take Heza’s provocation seriously. He just smiled lightly and said:

"Our Xuanmen disciple from the Dragon Kingdom has arrived. In the next period of time, she will fully represent the Dragon Kingdom and engage in friendly competitions with you."

While everyone was looking around for where this so-called Taoist disciple was, Officer Du silently stepped aside, revealing Shen Yueran standing behind him.

"Hello everyone, I am the Xuanmen disciple who will compete with you next." Shen Yueran said.

“Aren’t you Officer Du’s assistant?” Heza was surprised.

"Heza, don't be so rude to the lady. Although she is an assistant, she can also be a metaphysician." Anne said.

Perhaps because Shen Yueran is a girl, and Annie and Melissa are also women, they are more accepting of Shen Yueran and do not look down on Shen Yueran like several others.

But these men seem to have forgotten that Qingzhu Immortal Lord is also a woman.

"The Xuanmen of the Dragon Kingdom is such a waste. It only sends one person to compete with us. Are you looking down on us?" He Zha was in a bad mood and found fault everywhere.

"I am the apprentice of Qingzhu Immortal Lord. I am enough to deal with you." Shen Yueran was neither humble nor arrogant. "Everyone, you want to compete and communicate. Now the venue is ready and the participants are all here. But you But you are procrastinating here, is it possible that you are afraid? "

"That's nonsense. Are we afraid of a yellow-haired girl like you?" He Zha sneered, "Let's compete, we can start now."

Ku E has been silently listening to the arguments of others, and it was only now that he spoke:

"Although it is a friendly exchange, it is also a competition. There should be a charter. What should be compared, how to compare, and how to determine the outcome. These should be made clear in advance."

"That's the truth." Abe Jinsuke said, "I don't want to be in a lot of trouble after the competition."

Police Officer Du and Shen Yueran looked at each other. They exchanged a tacit look, and then Shen Yueran spoke again:

"That's for sure. Since it's a competition, there must be a schedule, lest some people don't admit it after the competition, and instead accuse our Dragon Kingdom of bullying others, so we have to make it clear in advance."

“Since everyone has come to our Dragon Country, we should be responsible for the schedule. So I thought hard the past few days and finally came up with two ways to compete.”

Anne was curious and asked first:

“Which two?”

Shen Yueran gave Anne a friendly smile and said:

“The first way is for me to compete with you. The content of the competition is the tasks assigned to me by Immortal Qingzhu before retreating, but I haven’t had time to complete these tasks yet.”

“I will share the content and details of these tasks with you. If any of you can complete the task first, that will be the winner of this game.”

Melissa is also a taciturn woman. When it came to the competition, she asked one more question:

“Can you please explain in detail? I don’t understand the rules of your dragon kingdom very clearly.”

Shen Yueran nodded, and then asked Officer Du to take out a map of Dragon Country. There were several locations marked with red circles on the map. She pointed at these circles and explained in detail:

"Everyone, please see, these places are dangerous places marked by Immortal Qingzhu. There are different ghosts and monsters inside. They are causing trouble and harming the people. My duty is to catch all these monsters and monsters and protect the people. ”

“Before the Qingzhu Immortal went into seclusion, he gave this map to me and asked me to do it, but because I had to entertain you, I delayed it for a few days. I just happened to take it out today and use it as a map for the competition.”

"These places are very dangerous, and the ghosts and monsters are very powerful. The goal of our competition is to conquer them. I will enter with the five of you and wear a mini camera to broadcast live, and the judges from both sides will watch from the outside."

“After entering, whoever finds the clues first, whoever figures out the solution first, or whoever subdues the demons first will be given points based on different contributions. After the competition in these places is over, we will rank according to the points and decide the winner.”

Shen Yueran spoke in great detail, and they all understood it through the translator.

In other words, six people form a team and enter a dangerous dungeon to fight monsters. Points are calculated based on contribution, and the ranking is determined based on the points. As for how to determine contribution, live broadcast is used.

Outside the venue, there were not only the people from the Dragon Kingdom led by Officer Du, but also our own people brought by the foreign magician group. Everyone could watch in front of the screen at the same time, mainly to observe whether there was cheating or the like.

As for the points, you can record the screen live and play it back slowly after the end to get the results.

After Anne understood the rules, she said:

“This is very fair. We go in together, there is a live broadcast, and people outside are watching, and no one can fake it. I agree with this way of playing.”

Melissa also nodded. Only in actual combat can a person's ability be seen, whether it is the level of cultivation or the ability to adapt to the situation.

Abe Jinsuke did not speak. He has always been talkative and unsociable, so he did not express his position.

On the contrary, it was Heza and Kue who expressed their opposition in unison.

Heza took the lead and said:

“This method of competition may seem fair, but is actually unfair. Don’t forget, this is the Dragon Kingdom. Miss Shen has the home field advantage. She must be more familiar with these places than we are.”

“If we go in with her, she can rely on the information gap to leave us behind and find scoring points on her own.”

After hearing this, Shen Yueran frowned and retorted:

“As I said before, I can share all the information I know with you. In this case, our starting point is the same, and I do not have an advantage.”

"You said to tell us, but who knows if you have told us completely? If you hide it, we will still be the ones who suffer." He Zha was stubborn.

Seeing that the two sides were about to quarrel again, Kue stepped forward to stop Heza and said:

"I don't think Miss Shen will hide it. Longguo has always been a reputable country, and their pride in trusting and promising is engraved in their bones. I admire this very much. If you really choose this way of participating, I believe Miss Shen will We are at the same starting point.”

"But the reason why I object is because the appearance of demons and ghosts in these places is the task of the Dragon Kingdom, but now it is used as a competition test question. Could it be that the Dragon Kingdom wants to borrow our power to help the Dragon Kingdom subdue demons and catch ghosts?"

"Dragon Kingdom is a big country, so it won't do such a thing, right? It's better to leave your own metaphysicians to tame your own demons and ghosts. It really has nothing to do with us outside warlocks who come to exchange academic knowledge."

As soon as Ku E said these words, Officer Du and Shen Yueran were suddenly stunned.

This guy is still a Buddhist lama. He has no big heart at all. He judges a gentleman with a villain's heart. The monsters and ghosts in the Dragon Kingdom are none of his business, so he doesn't accept this kind of competition?

Haha, I’m really convinced!

Police Officer Du wrote down this person in his little book of vengeance. If something happens in the Wanta Kingdom and they need help from the Dragon Kingdom, he will immediately take out this paragraph and throw it in their faces!

Taking a step back, Pei Anzhu has basically dealt with all the demons and ghosts in the Dragon Kingdom. There is no so-called mission in the five places. This is just Shen Yueran's deliberate creation in order to cope with this exchange competition. It just came out.

It’s just that this group of people are petty.

But this is fine, Shen Yueran wished they didn't choose this method, so maybe they wouldn't see that she was faking it.

Others seemed to be convinced by the misfortune, and Abe Jinsuke spoke at this time:

“Let’s talk about the second way of playing.”

Everyone was silent, obviously not choosing the first option by default, so Shen Yueran smiled and said the second option:

"This second way of playing is that I am not with you, I am alone against five of you, and I belong to a different camp from you."

As soon as these words came out, everyone became interested.

None of them expected that Long Guo, a young female metaphysician, would be so arrogant and even thought of fighting against the five of them with one person.

You know, the five of them are all the best in their respective countries. They are targeting the Qingzhu Immortal Lord, not the disciples of the Qingzhu Immortal Lord. But since Shen Yueran is so arrogant, they are also willing to kindly teach her a lesson. Teach her how to be a good person and stop her from being so arrogant.

It was still Anne who asked for details.

At this time, Shen Yueran took out another map from the box and said:

"According to the second method, I will start a camp war with you. You keep saying that Dragon Kingdom is our home court, and I will not deny it, so I will take advantage of my home court advantage to set test questions for you."

"The locations on this map are the test questions that I racked my brains to set up a few days ago. There are also many monsters and ghosts in them, but please don't worry, they are all those that our Irregularity Bureau has arrested and brought to justice, and have turned to the dark side. , they will not pose a danger to your life, but they will set up obstacles for your exams."

"Of course, these obstacles and problems are all preset by me. Those monsters and monsters are just following my orders. You need to complete the problems I set in these places, solve puzzles and clues, and complete specific tasks. ”

"These tasks are either to find something in the field, or to obtain tokens from these monsters. In short, I set the questions and you answer them. If you can complete all the obstacles I set, I will admit that you are better than me. Strong, otherwise you are weaker than me."

"This method of competition is relatively safe, because all the demons and ghosts inside have been subdued, but I have to remind you, don't just rely on your skill and boldness to anger them. If you really want to drive them into panic, they will It’s not something to be trifled with either.”

After listening to Shen Yueran's explanation, the other five people got together to discuss it, and then unanimously chose the second method.

However, Heza still has a problem:

“You only said before that if you complete the difficult problem you set, you will be considered better than you, but how should we calculate the ranking among the five of us?”

Shen Yueran said:

“Similarly calculated based on points.”

"For the sake of fairness, there will still be live broadcasts. I will set points for each level. You can go in and pass the levels one by one. Everyone is watching from the outside."

“In the end, I will rank you according to points. I will not participate in your ranking, but I will compete with each of you. Do you understand?”

Everyone nodded, Heza was impatient:

“Okay, let’s get started.”

Just when everyone was eager to give it a try, Officer Du spoke again:

“It can’t start now. As for the game, we didn’t say it would be broadcast live before, so we have not prepared the relevant equipment. In order to ensure that the live broadcast process is not interrupted or goes wrong, we must have a batch of very good equipment.”

“So, please give us another day, we will prepare the camera and screen, and ask Shen Yueran to print out all the points and hand them to the judges before the competition starts.”

“In addition, we will also have drone aerial photography to ensure that all contestants are photographed from 360 degrees without blind spots. We firmly guarantee openness and transparency and do not allow any black-box operations to occur.”

After hearing this, the group felt it made sense, and nodded, agreeing to give Long Kingdom another day to prepare. Officer Du had a bright smile on his face and felt happy in his heart:

Very good, it has been delayed for a day, and the day for Master Pei to leave seclusion is getting closer and closer.

This group of people have gone back to the Guest House to rest, recuperating their energy and waiting for tomorrow. They hope to frustrate Shen Yueran's energy. After all, Shen Yueran is the apprentice of Qingzhu Immortal Lord.

If you defeat Shen Yueran, it will be more honorable to tell the truth.

They can also use this to suppress Qingzhu Immortal Lord, saying that she is just trying to gain fame, but that's all, and the apprentice she teaches is a waste, etc.

After they all left, Officer Du and Shen Yueran met, put the two maps she had taken out together, then smiled and said:

“I didn’t expect it to go so smoothly. I bullied them into not being able to understand the Chinese character Long Guo.”

Shen Yueran looked at the two maps and smiled.

These two maps are actually exactly the same, except that one is upside down and the other is upright. Even the circled areas on the map completely overlap.

In fact, this is the plan that Shen Yueran came up with before: acting.

In order to delay time, she selected five places to arrange the venue, and the bosses in these five places were: Little Fox, Lily of the Valley, Ah Puppet, Bear Demon, and Big Python.

Shen Yueran set up different clues and tasks in these venues and arranged them into different copies.

In other words, no matter whether that group of people chooses the first way of playing or the second way of playing, they will eventually encounter these five bosses.

Choosing the first option is nothing more than Shen Yueran entering the venue with them and competing together. Then not only will she not be in a hurry to catch ghosts and collect demons, but she will also secretly create obstacles for these people and prevent them from getting out in a short time. , in order to delay time.

It would be better if you choose the second option. Shen Yueran will let them go in one by one to avoid bumping into each other, causing confusion in the itinerary, making it inconvenient to accumulate points, and prolonging the delay even longer.

As for the five bosses, Shen Yueran had communicated them in advance. They knew exactly what to do when and how to set up obstacles and increase the difficulty for that group of people.

The little fox, Linglan and Ah Puppet were all on their own, and their cooperation was very high. The bear demon was captured for a long time and was imprisoned for a while. Shen Yueran negotiated with it and said that if it obeyed orders, it would be replaced. A big cell and twice the food every day, it immediately agreed.

As for the bear demon, it can't escape anyway. It doesn't know that Pei Anzhu's cultivation is exhausted, and its fear of Pei Anzhu is still engraved in its bones, so it is willing to cooperate on the premise of improving its treatment.

As for the boa constrictor…

 Pei Anzhu dug up the demon pill, and then slowly degenerated into an ordinary python, which was the so-called return to its original shape. Shen Yueran simply didn't say anything to it and let it act directly on instinct.

 In addition, in the dungeon where the boa constrictor was the boss, Shen Yueran also set up many other traps, which would not make things easier for the group of people anyway.

In other words, Shen Yueran only has these five copies.

It depends on how the group of people choose.

Choose one, then these five dungeons are undeveloped, very dangerous places that no one has ever set foot on; choose 2, then these five dungeons are designed by Shen Yueran, are not too lethal, and are safe. A place with a higher level of sex.

The so-called life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills.

Anyway, this group of people came with bad intentions and came with intrigues, so Shen Yueran would not feel uneasy about having deceived them.

If she can use these five fake copies to get through this level, then everything will be fine. If she can't get through it, she can only use the dragging technique to drag Pei Anzhu out of the level.

At this time, there are still eleven days before Pei Anzhu leaves the customs.

***

When the foreign magicians went to the guest house to rest, Officer Du and Shen Yueran were making final preparations for the upcoming competition. They reported the matter to Bureau Guo, who in turn reported it to the big boss.

As a result, the big leaders decided that they would also watch the live broadcast when the actual game happens.

The so-called knowing yourself and the enemy is enough to fight a hundred battles without danger.

Due to the Great Demon's Curse more than two hundred years ago, the Dragon Kingdom's Xuanmen inheritance was cut off. Therefore, the Dragon Kingdom's understanding of this aspect was too little, and it had fallen behind others, so it had to catch up.

So, they cannot miss any opportunity to understand their opponents, and the live broadcast of this game is a good opportunity.

Onmyojis, headdressers, witches, vampire hunters, and Buddhist lamas. In the past, the Dragon Kingdom knew that these things existed, but they thought they were just cultural symbols like the Dragon Kingdom. They never thought that the professions of these people actually existed. .

Just because the Dragon Kingdom does not have it, the Dragon Kingdom has also neglected this aspect.

The appearance of Pei Anzhu made up for this shortcoming. Although the arrival of the foreign magician group was a provocation, from another perspective, it might not be that the missing information was personally delivered to the hands of the Dragon Kingdom.

The long night has finally passed.

This night, many people did not sleep well, including the leaders of the Dragon Kingdom and the comrades of the Foreign Affairs Bureau. Although everything had been arranged according to Shen Yueran's suggestion, the outcome of this competition was still unknown.

However, the five members of the foreign magician group slept well.

They couldn't help but feel very happy when they thought that they would slap Dragon Kingdom in the face tomorrow. They lay down early one by one, saying that they would recharge their batteries and appear at the competition venue in their best appearance.

Its daybreak.

The "Friendly Exchange Competition" initiated by He Zha also officially kicked off.

The five contestants came to the competition venue, and the staff put on mini cameras for live broadcast on them, adjusted the signals and instruments, and after confirming that the signal reception was correct, the live broadcast started.

In the conference room in Central City, the big screen was turned on again, and Director Guo and the leaders sat together to watch the competition.

At the same time, there were many judges sitting on the scene, including comrades from the Alien Bureau headed by Officer Du, as well as judges from various countries brought by foreign magician groups.

Everyone has their own position, but in the face of an open and transparent competition with 360 degrees of blind spots, it is indeed difficult to operate in secret.

Shen Yueran, as the enemy of these five people, made a grand appearance and said:

“I announce that the first warlock friendship exchange competition from various countries has officially begun.”

Hearing these words, a proud smile flashed across Heza's face, and then he said:

“Miss Shen, stop being so nagging and let us enter the examination site quickly.”

Shen Yueran treated each other with courtesy and said:

“Don’t worry, all contestants please draw lots first and enter the examination room in the order in which they were drawn.”

"What? Aren't the five of us together?" Anne asked.

"Of course not. If the five of you act together, how will you score points if you find the same level in the same examination room? This will cause confusion, so every time you take the exam, you have to go in alone." Shen Yueran said.

After hearing this, Kue said:

"But this is unfair to the contestants who entered first. The remaining contestants will see the content of the test questions and how many traps there are in the examination room during the live broadcast. Maybe they can avoid them in advance when they enter. , so those who enter later have an advantage.

Shen Yueran shook his head and said:

“Therefore, the waiting contestants cannot stay on site and can only stay in the waiting room arranged by us. We have prepared various snacks, fruits, books and toys for the contestants to ensure that you will not be bored.”

Heza frowned and objected to this method:

“But this is too slow. We have to enter each venue one by one. We have different abilities and the time it takes is different. If someone delays in there for a long time, wouldn’t it mean that it will be delayed for a whole day?”

"That's true, but do you have a fairer way?" Shen Yueran asked.

What she wants is to delay time.

These foreign sorcerers were anxious, but she was not anxious. She wanted to delay it as long as possible, and it was best to delay it until Pei Anzhu came out of seclusion.

"Why not five examination rooms open at the same time? We draw lots to decide to enter different examination rooms, and the next day we draw lots in random order to go to the remaining examination rooms." Heza said, "In this way, five people will compete at the same time every day. The test questions are different, so I don’t worry about unfairness.”

Hearing this, Shen Yueran smiled and said:

"But this is really unfair! The test questions are not confidential. There are so many people outside the venue watching. You went to No. 1 today and No. 2 tomorrow, but someone has entered the No. 2 test room as early as today, and the test questions are also If it’s leaked, there’s no guarantee that no one will reveal the situation to you privately.”

“So, it’s fairest to follow my method, unless you don’t want to compete at all. The friendly exchange competition is actually an excuse, what do you think?”

Heza was immediately blocked.

Is it possible that he has to admit that he has an ulterior motive for coming here this time? Does he want to admit that he came here for Immortal Qingzhu? Could he say in a big way that he wanted to kill Qingzhu Immortal Lord?

No, so he could only play according to the organizer's procedures.

After all, they were the ones who proposed the friendly exchange match, and Long Guo agreed; they were the ones who chose the second method, and Long Guo also agreed.

Long Guo is just striving for fairness. If he objects, it will inevitably appear that he has a guilty conscience.
