Chapter 2819: Temporary Leader
"Nice, Xiuxiu Luo."
Baja emerged from the different space. This powerful teammate tricked by Caesar was very reliable. Facing the bald man who was a notch stronger than Tiff, he actually solved the opponent perfectly.
"Hahahaha, I am Xiuxiu Luo. Dealing with guys like this, even two or three is no problem. *Cough, cough, cough~*"
Xiuxiu Luo coughed repeatedly and spat out several large mouthfuls of blood. Clearly, the battle with the bald man was not easy for him.
"You're spitting blood, Xiuxiu Luo."
"I got a fish bone stuck in my throat yesterday. You wouldn't think I was injured, would you? *Wah~*"
"With the amount of blood you're spitting, don't you need to drink some recovery potion?"
"No problem. Potions that can heal injuries are treasures. You guys keep them for later use. Let's go fill our stomachs first. I know a pretty good restaurant."
Xiuxiu Luo picked up the large cloth bag from the abandoned building on the side, carried it on his shoulder, and strode out of District 30.
The City of Smoke had a total of 32 districts. Districts 1-3 were the safest, where the branch of the Healing God Church was located. Because of their good relationship with the refugees, very few people caused trouble here.
Districts 4-9 were the territory of the Magic Association. It was stable during the day and chaotic at night. The secret mages of the Magic Association could do nothing about it.
Districts 10-15 belonged to the Alchemy Alliance. This was where the refugees worked, and very few people caused trouble here. This was the industrial area of the City of Smoke.
District 16 was where the wild ducks were active. The desperadoes of the City of Smoke would not cause trouble here. After all, they had to satisfy their physiological needs here, and besides, the wild ducks here were controlled by various gangs.
Districts 17-29 were chaotic areas. It was extremely chaotic here. Every morning, corpse collectors would come in horse-drawn carriages to collect unclaimed corpses at regular intervals and sell them to the Magic Association in District 1.
The final Districts 30-32 were all on the edge of the City of Smoke. If there was no need, no one would come here. District 30 was okay, but Districts 31 and 32 were too dangerous.
The City of Smoke was huge. Adding 3 districts together was the size of a small to medium-sized city. It could be said that the City of Smoke represented the Western Continent to a certain extent. The other scattered small and medium-sized gathering places could not even compare to a single district of the City of Smoke.
Xiuxiu Luo successfully killed the bald man. Because of the temporary team, Su Xiao received 60% of the rewards, obtaining 3 points of Merit + 9 Scarlet Medals.
Half an hour later, Su Xiao was already sitting at a small round dining table. The food in the City of Smoke looked pretty good, but it had a faint strange taste when eaten, as if it were a bit burnt.
Su Xiao took out his pocket watch and glanced at it. From the time he entered this world, 5 hours and 32 minutes had passed. In another 28 minutes, the first node would have a space resonance reaction. As long as he was in the City of Smoke, he would be able to sense it. Each space resonance reaction lasted about 40 minutes.
If the node appeared in Districts 4-30, it would be fine. These places were chaotic enough. If it appeared in Districts 1-3, which was the territory of the Healing God Church, it would be a bit difficult. If he made a move there, the people of the Healing God Church would not just sit by and watch.
Eastern Continent, Steam Alliance territory, Windpipe City, inside a grand theater.
A man in a formal suit stood on the stage. In the seats below, there were about two hundred people. In the dim light, the eyes of these people revealed malice.
"Everyone, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedules to come here for the appointment."
The man in the formal suit smiled and looked around below.
"Who are you being polite to, just say what you have to say."
"Hurry up and get the World Core. I'm in a hurry to return to the real world. My sister is about to give birth."
"Why is it green, why."
A very depressed figure sat in the center seat of the grand theater. He had a green halo on his head, as if he were about to ascend to heaven. It was Ascension Brother.
In the corner of the grand theater, a figure wearing a witch's hat was sitting there. She held a slender smoking pipe in her hand and exhaled light purple smoke. It was the Witch. She had just been promoted to the seventh tier not long ago and came to participate in the World Contention War.
In the seat in front of the Witch was a gray-haired man, who was also a member of the Brigade.
"Everyone."
The man in the formal suit on the stage spoke. He took a deep breath, slowly tilted his head back, as if he were brewing emotions, and continued: "I have found the gathering point of the Apocalypse Paradise."
"Where?"
"Lost Light Forest · Watulan. Let's go there and have a carnival..."
Before the man in the formal suit could finish his words, he found that the Qiyuezhe below stood up one after another and walked out of the grand theater.
"Everyone, the leader selection segment hasn't started yet. That's the main event."
Hearing this, the Qiyuezhe on their side stopped their steps.
"Everyone, calm down first. To avoid unnecessary attrition, let's vote to decide who the temporary leader is. Note, it's a temporary leader."
"..."
"I don't care."
"Agreed."
As a normal person among many lunatics, Ascension Brother raised his hand high.
Soon, the voting began. Including the man in the formal suit, basically everyone voted for themselves. The people with the most votes only had two, which were Qiyuezhe who had met acquaintances.
The scene fell into embarrassment. In the past few days, the Qiyuezhe on their side had dispersed to find Qiyuezhe from other paradises who were alone. They were not familiar with each other, so of course, they rarely voted for others.
Ascension Brother looked blankly at the projection on the stage. He looked as if he had been stimulated.
"Why do I have three votes? Who voted for me? Do you have a grudge against me!"
Ascension Brother's voice cracked a bit, pointing to the translucent screen floating above the stage. This was a projection device provided free of charge by a certain Qiyuezhe on their side.
Just as Ascension Brother's shout fell, he found pairs of eyes revealing red light looking over from all directions, which made Ascension Brother's body tremble.
"Ev... everyone, listen to my explanation. Someone must be framing me."
Ascension Brother looked around. He believed that these friendly forces would tear him apart.
"Mr. Leader~, give the order. What should we do next?"
A little boy squatted on the back of the seat in front of Ascension Brother. The small face with metal studs was smiling. He stretched out his tongue with metal studs and licked his lips.
"I'm innocent, damn it!"
Ascension Brother's mentality collapsed, and his shout echoed in the grand theater. Hearing this shout, the Witch sitting in the corner chuckled.
Marshy Rain Wetland, inside a cave, a petite figure was squatting on the ground, using tools in her hand to draw a formation on the ground, muttering to herself.
"Lunatics of the Reincarnation Paradise, you just wait for me. Don't blame me for being ruthless. This is a World Contention War, and a certain bastard from your Reincarnation Paradise..."
Speaking of this, the petite figure felt a sourness in her nose and touched her right ear. Originally, on this ear, she wore one of her most beloved pieces of equipment.
"Revenge!"
After the petite figure shouted, she let out a long sigh. Just shouting verbally was enough. As for really going for revenge, whether she could win was a big problem, and tracking tools were too expensive.
East Continent, South Valley City, inside the Church of Fate.
An old man dressed as a priest was kneeling in front of the goddess sculpture, his hands clasped in prayer. He had maintained this posture for several days.
"Soul, Styx, Seat of All Gods, the supreme among gods, listen to my voice."
A look of pain appeared on the priest's face. His left cheek cracked like ceramic, and a black tentacle as thick as a pinky finger protruded and twisted.
After borrowing the power, the priest immediately cut off the connection with a certain ancient god. Borrowing the power of the ancient god was enough. If he really summoned the ancient god into this world, it would be a disaster.
*Click, click~*
The second hand of the pocket watch jumped. Su Xiao closed the pocket watch in his hand. The small restaurant was a bit noisy. It was noon, and there were many refugees coming to dine.
There were 2 minutes left until the first node had a space resonance reaction. Through the elimination method, Su Xiao basically determined the remaining four enemies.
These four enemies were divided into two teams, the Apocalypse Team and the Shaman Team. The Apocalypse Team should be a man and a woman, a combination of a strong man and a timid girl. As for the Shaman Team, they were two shamans who believed in the same god.
From the current situation, as long as he didn't take the initiative to provoke them, he wouldn't fight with the Magic Association and the Steam Alliance in the City of Smoke for the time being. The Healing God Church side was not necessarily the case.
Su Xiao counted down in his heart. When the countdown reached 0, his perception was fully opened.
*Dong~*
A wave swept past. Su Xiao looked to the east. The first node was in District 4, District 5, or District 6. A more specific location could not be determined. These three districts were all the territory of the Magic Association.
Su Xiao looked at Xiuxiu Luo sitting opposite him. The opponent's expression was normal, and he was looking in the mirror to pick his shark-like sharp teeth. The opponent could not sense the space resonance reaction. This was good news, meaning the natives in this world had no reaction to the fluctuation just now.
"Let's go."
Su Xiao stood up and walked out of the restaurant. He was determined to win the control of the first node. Even if the four opponents he encountered this time were very strong, he had a way to seize control of the first node. Bubu Wang was best at doing this kind of thing. ===== CHAPTER 2820 =====
