Chapter 90: Weirdness under the spotlight!
Wang Ping (66): "In that case, the candidates for this mission are me, Zhang Jun, Liu Mei, Qin Tian, and Wang Shuqi from the local area."
After saying this, Wang Ping filled in the candidates for the task and prepared to send them.
However, before the transmission, Wang Ping was also considering whether to conduct another paid simulation to strengthen his own strength.
In the end, Wang Ping chose to give up.
The last group mission took me five free simulations to barely complete.
But now, he only has five free simulations left, which does not guarantee a perfect pass.
If we include the paid simulation, the success rate will be higher.
Compared to the strength improved by paid simulation, the number of simulations is more valuable.
After all, when facing weird stuff, strength is important, but the information brought by life simulation is more important.
Anyway, you can also choose rewards in other world paid simulations.
Not to mention, compared to the improved strength, it is not as important as his trump card.
Only by raising one's cultivation to the spiritual fetus realm can a qualitative change occur, surpassing the effect of the ancient jade's attack.
Immediately afterwards, Wang Ping disappeared into the Sword Spirit Sect.
With a flash of light, Wang Ping's vision became clear again and he appeared in a dark alley.
And the person in front of Wang Ping was Wang Shuqi.
At this time, Wang Shuqi was dirty and his life seemed quite hard.
Soon, another light appeared, and Liu Mei, who looked ordinary, and Zhang Jun, who had a stern face, also appeared.
In addition, Qin Tian, dressed in a blue robe, also appeared in front of everyone.
"Meeting in this way really makes people feel complicated." Qin Tian looked at the others, and finally looked at Wang Ping and sighed.
"I'm sorry to ask you all to meet here. But I was working illegally just now, so I can only go to a place like this in a short time without attracting attention."
Wang Shuqi said helplessly.
This kind of landing location is probably not the worst in the group.
"It's okay. The landing place is not important. You don't need to care about it. After all, you have a hard time too."
Wang Ping patted Wang Shuqi on the shoulder and comforted him.
Wang Shuqi is now having a hard time. Although he has some help from people in the group and they gave him some cultivation techniques, he is unable to practice due to his current situation.
One reason is that this world has no spiritual energy.
Second, Wang Shuqi doesn’t have the energy to practice for the time being.
Although some people suggested giving Wang Shuqi some gold, silver and jewelry to sell in exchange for some money, Wang Shuqi refused.
The reason is that he is unfamiliar with the place and is an illegal resident. If he takes his valuables to pawn, he might lose his life.
I have to say, he is really too straightforward.
"Brother Wang, we meet again." Liu Mei looked at Wang Ping and said with mixed feelings.
"Yes." Wang Ping shook his head and said to her, "Sister Liu, you don't have to worry about it. I will try my best to bring everyone through alive this time."
"I really don't deserve your call of sis." Liu Mei smiled bitterly and said, "From now on, just call me by my name."
"Okay." Wang Ping shook his head and said nothing more.
Because he became the big brother of the group, and his strength far exceeded that of other group members, these people really could not treat him with the same peaceful attitude as before.
"Zhang Jun, your strength seems to have greatly improved. Now, you should be able to deal with a cultivator who is half a step beyond the ordinary realm."
Wang Ping sensed Zhang Jun's aura and exclaimed in admiration.
"If I don't get stronger soon, I would have died a long time ago."
Zhang Jun spoke sullenly, more gloomy than before.
"That's right." Wang Ping nodded.
Zhang Jun's world is very dangerous, and the zombies mutate very quickly.
However, danger also brings opportunities. Relying on the crystals in the zombies' bodies, he becomes stronger very quickly.
Of course, he is strong in purely physical terms, with no other means.
"Qin Tian... you are cultivating very fast. What is your current cultivation level?"
Wang Ping finally looked at Qin Tian and said with a strange look.
He could feel that the energy intensity in Qin Tian's body was not weak now.
However, the two of them are not from the same system after all, so there is no way to know the specific cultivation level of this guy.
"The initial stage of foundation building."
Qin Tian coughed lightly, put his hands behind his back, and spoke in a nonchalant manner.
"..." Liu Mei's face twitched slightly.
This guy has only been in the group for a few months, but he has quietly cultivated to the foundation-building stage. Isn't the speed a little too fast?
It was said that the cultivation speed of the immortal cultivation system would be relatively slow.
"Foundation Building Stage? It seems like your master has given you a lot of good things." Wang Ping nodded, not surprised by Qin Tian's answer.
He has an old monster in the late Nascent Soul stage as his master, and Qin Tian himself is not simple, so it is normal for him to improve his cultivation so quickly.
However, this guy always likes to show off, he really deserves a beating.
"He really gave me a lot of good things. I should be able to help a little this time." Qin Tian laughed, but did not reveal what trump card his master gave him.
Wang Ping did not ask him any further questions about this.
Anyway, if the danger really comes, given this guy's fear of death, he will probably take it out immediately.
If his underwear was useful, this guy would probably take it off without any hesitation.
"Okay, this is not the place to talk. Let's find a suitable place to talk."
Wang Ping glanced at the crowd outside the alley and spoke.
"Um."
Hearing this, Liu Mei, Zhang Jun and Qin Tian all nodded.
As for Wang Shuqi, he looked at his clothes somewhat embarrassedly.
"Qin Tian, cast some magic on him. Then change your clothes."
Wang Ping shook his head helplessly and took out a suitable set of robes from his storage ring.
"Please help me wash it too. I smell too much blood."
Zhang Jun also looked at Qin Tian.
“…”
Qin Tian's face twitched.
Damn it, you’re treating me like a tool, right?
"Brother Wang, you should be able to do it too."
Qin Tian looked at Wang Ping depressedly.
"I am practicing fire-based techniques. Do you think I can do it?"
Wang Ping glanced at Qin Tian and spoke lightly.
"Okay." Qin Tian sighed and could only use his magic power to cast two water spells.
"Are these magic spells from the world of immortal cultivation? That's quite interesting."
Wang Ping scanned Qin Tian with his spiritual sense, his eyes flickering, and muttered.
I don’t know if he can use his spiritual energy to cast these spells.
Anyway, the Taoist magic in Chen Yao's world cannot be used without the magic power of the Taoist priests.
He was somewhat disappointed at first, but he just used it to fill his knowledge base, perhaps he could use it as a reference to create martial arts techniques in the future.
"Brother Wang, can you please stop scanning me with your spiritual sense? I'm a man, not gay."
Qin Tian's face twitched and he complained.
"As expected of a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage, your perception is quite sharp."
Wang Ping withdrew his spiritual consciousness, without any embarrassment, and said with a smile.
In his world, even those in the Lingyuan realm could not detect his spiritual consciousness, but Qin Tian detected it. This is the difference in the cultivation system.
In terms of strength, Qin Tian in the early stage of foundation building may not be a match for Lingyuan realm, but in terms of means, Qin Tian in the early stage of foundation building has many more, and he also has spiritual awareness.
"I always feel like you're making fun of me, but I have no evidence."
Qin Tian was speechless.
Soon, Wang Shuqi and Zhang Jun finished cleaning and changed their clothes.
Several people walked out of the alley together, attracting a lot of people's attention, and the rate of turning back was immediately high.
There were even some bold girls who ran up to Wang Ping with red faces and asked for his contact information.
After all, after Wang Ping and Qin Tian embarked on the path of cultivation, their temperaments changed a lot, and they really had a kind of immortal-like feeling.
Especially Wang Ping, after reaching the extraordinary realm, the transformation of his life level made his temperament change greatly, and his appearance also changed from ordinary to handsome.
All I can say is that when one reaches a deep level of spiritual practice, there are no ugly men or women.
Because every time you break through a great realm, your life level will be elevated, your appearance will gradually become more handsome, and your temperament will become more noble.
In this regard, Qin Tian wanted to use some magic to reduce the presence of several people, but was stopped by Wang Ping.
"This is a high-level martial arts world, it's not simple. Don't use your power recklessly and attract the attention of the extraordinary department of this world."
Wang Ping warned.
"We currently know nothing about this world, and we don't know where the weirdness is hiding or what its abilities are. The consequences of exposing it would be very dangerous."
"All right……"
Qin Tian was startled, then came to his senses and nodded.
"But I feel like we are already eye-catching enough now."
Then, Qin Tian's face twitched again.
With so many people wearing similar Hanfu walking on the street, it's hard not to attract attention.
"It did attract some attention, but at most they just regarded us as cosplayers."
Wang Ping's indifferent voice transmission left Qin Tian speechless.
Indeed, he also heard some people exclaiming how handsome those who cosplayed ancient characters were.
"But do you have money? If you go to a coffee shop or something to chat, you won't have money to pay the bill. If you use jewelry or something like that, it will definitely be eye-catching. But, isn't it a bit embarrassing to go to a park or something like that to discuss saving the world?"
Qin Tian couldn't help but complain again.
"Brother, we are here to be the saviors of this world. As the saviors, what's wrong with eating a free meal? You can use some magic to erase your memory. Or, you can seduce the waitress with your handsomeness and let her pay the bill."
Zhang Jun looked at Qin Tian and grinned.
"Get lost." Qin Tian's face darkened and he glared at Zhang Jun.
"Who said we're going to the cafe?" Wang Ping was speechless. "Please, we don't know much about this world yet, so we should go to places like the Competition Hotel to search for basic information about this world online before taking any action."
“…”
Qin Tian was silent and had nothing to say.
Wang Ping looked at Qin Tian with a strange look.
This guy, could it be that except for having good luck and liking to show off, he is just an idiot?
For a moment, Wang Ping felt a sense of superiority due to his intelligence, but he forgot that when he was still an ordinary person, his IQ was just at the average level.
"By the way, do you know soul-searching spells?"
At this time, Zhang Jun suddenly spoke.
"Although soul searching can cause irreversible damage to ordinary people, as long as we take action against those evildoers, we won't feel guilty about it. It can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people."
"No." Qin Tian rolled his eyes: "How many spells do you think I can learn after traveling through time for only a few months and my cultivation has been raised to the foundation-building stage?"
"That makes sense." Liu Mei nodded.
"Tsk, that means you have a weird panel."
Zhang Jun smacked his lips.
Qin Tian's face twitched slightly and he was speechless.
He doesn't know many spells.
Of course, magical instruments and the like are another matter.
…
Soon, relying on Qin Tian's magic, after successfully hypnotizing the girl in the stands of the e-sports hotel, the five people came to a five-person private room.
I have to say that Qin Tian is definitely not a serious person. The only spells he has are some like hypnosis.
After all, normal people would learn basic spells like Fireball.
Qin Tian pretended not to notice the strange looks from everyone.
Obviously, the previous conversation made Qin Tian much more shameless.
"Esports Hotel... I really miss it."
Zhang Jun looked at the five computers in the e-sports hotel and said with mixed feelings.
“I really miss it.”
Wang Ping also touched the computer, smiled, and there was nostalgia in his eyes.
Before I traveled through time, I opened an e-sports hotel with some friends and spent the whole night there. I still remember it vividly. It was one of the rare happy times.
"Hey, there's actually a League of Legends here. It looks like this world is also a parallel world, not a world similar to Earth."
Wang Shuqi directly turned on a machine and said in surprise.
"Well, do you want a plate?"
Wang Shuqi rubbed his hands, eager to try.
Upon hearing this, the corners of Wang Ping, Zhang Jun, Liu Mei, and Qin Tian's mouths twitched.
Are you still in the mood to play games?
And brother, although you can book a room, do you have an account?
Do you really think this is the world before you traveled through time?
"Well……
Seeing that Wang Ping and others were staring at him speechlessly, Wang Shuqi scratched his hair in embarrassment, unable to speak.
"Okay, let's start gathering intelligence. Our time is precious. If we waste a day, we might lose the possibility of clearing the level."
Wang Ping sighed, sat on a chair, and started typing on the keyboard.
When Zhang Jun, Qin Tian, Liu Mei and Wang Shuqi heard this, they felt a sense of urgency again and began to take action.
Just like that, five "cocky time travelers" just hid in an e-sports room and used ordinary computers to collect information, preparing to "save the world". If people knew about this, they would probably laugh to death.
After a long time, Wang Ping stopped and narrowed his eyes.
The expressions of the others also changed and their eyes looked strange.
“What a strange world.”
Qin Tian frowned and muttered to himself.
"Yes, it's a very strange world."
Wang Shuqi couldn't help but speak.
"This is a world full of crises, so why is entertainment so prosperous?"
Liu Mei also murmured in disbelief.
"Weird, really very weird."
Zhang Jun also frowned, suspecting that the information collected on the Internet was false.
Wang Ping didn't say anything. He looked at the computer and shook it: "...It's really weird."
This world is a world of high-level martial arts, where the strong can burn mountains and boil seas. In terms of strength alone, the Martial Saints, who are the ceiling of its combat power, seem to be no less powerful than cultivators in the extraordinary realm, and there are quite a few of them. There are fifteen Martial Saints in the open.
And humans are not without enemies.
In this world, there are all kinds of ferocious beasts, which seriously threaten human safety.
Therefore, humans and ferocious beasts often fight and kill each other.
In the war between the two sides, humans could not gain any advantage.
Because there are so many ferocious beasts, the number of king-level ferocious beasts that are comparable to human martial saints is also greater than that of humans.
If humans had not acquired the technology of alien civilizations, and if humanity's strongest martial saint, Lin Zhan, had not been so powerful that he far surpassed martial saints and king-level ferocious beasts, and even the king of ferocious beasts was no match for him, humanity would probably have perished long ago.
However, even in this context, humans do not particularly value martial arts and technology.
What they value most is entertainment and celebrities.
In this world, the status of celebrities is actually higher than that of warriors.
And the world-class singer’s status is actually higher than that of the Martial Saint.
Especially Xia Ruobing, who is known as the world's number one singer, has a large number of fans, and is popular among both men and women. No matter whether they are male or female martial arts saints, they are all her fans.
Even Lin Zhan, the world's most powerful martial artist and the patron saint of mankind, is actually a fan of Xia Ruobing and has even publicly expressed his fanatical love for her.
This is outrageous.
This kind of social atmosphere made it hard for Wang Ping to imagine how the humans in this world could survive under the threat of ferocious beasts. It was too abnormal.
"There are too many factors. I don't know how to complain for a moment." Qin Tian's face twitched. He pointed at the photo of Xia Ruobing he found on the Internet and complained, "I admit that this woman is really beautiful. Even the Saint of our Holy Land is on par with her. But a woman can drive people all over the world crazy. Even all the Martial Saints are obsessed with her to this extent. It's really weird."
"I'm an illegal resident, so I didn't know much about her before, but I knew Xia Ruobing... I just didn't expect her to be so popular."
Wang Shuqi also said silently.
"In the past, what we said about entertainment to death was just a metaphor. But in this world, it has become true."
Liu Mei sighed.
"Brother Wang, what do you think?" Zhang Jun looked at Wang Ping with flickering eyes.
"Just as Qin Tian said, it's too weird, isn't it?"
Wang Ping chuckled and spoke.
"It seems that we don't need to go out of our way to find the target of this mission. She is right under the spotlight, in the most conspicuous place."
When these words came out, Qin Tian was stunned at first, and then he reacted.
"Damn!" Qin Tian muttered to himself, "Yeah, I'm stupid. This situation is abnormal no matter how you look at it... Someone who can become a martial saint cannot be mentally resolute. It's normal for one person to be obsessed with her, but being completely obsessed with her is absolutely abnormal. Only a weird person can do such a thing."
"Great! It looks like this mission will be easy to complete!"
Wang Shuqi said excitedly.
"Huh..." Liu Mei also breathed a sigh of relief.
The reason why the first two missions were so dangerous was because we didn't know the strange details, and it took several attempts to use the ability to predict the future to find him.
It will definitely be much easier this time since I don’t have to look for it.
"Brother Wang, the old rules?" Zhang Jun looked at Wang Ping and said.
"Well, now that we know the basic intelligence and the most likely strange target, let's use our abilities to test it out." Wang Ping's eyes flickered and he nodded.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone became excited.
Wang Ping didn't want to talk too much, he just closed his eyes and said silently in his heart: "System, I want to do a new free simulation."
