Chapter 131: Strange Beauty Contest
After completing the query, Ye Xin discovered that this "card drawing" required the collection of many kinds of materials of different rarities, and then throwing the materials into the formation like the man in black robe.
Moreover, during this process, you have to chant the spell continuously according to the properties of the material. If you make a mistake in one sentence, big problems will arise.
In short, it is a very strict procedure and the slightest mistake will lead to a huge mistake.
Even though he is an employee of Youmeng, he still has to complain that this card drawing method is too troublesome.
Brushing materials must be a particularly boring part, right?
I really don’t know how the man in black robe managed to extract so many monsters - was it because of his perseverance?
As he fell into deep thought, the elf also lost interest in him.
It's just that there is an "outsider" who doesn't understand this world.
As a real-life NPC, Ye Xuan didn't know that this script was somewhat "xenophobic".
The so-called "old players" here are very hostile to "outsiders" from other places, thinking that they simply don't understand the beauty of monster card drawing.
Yes, this kind of card drawing can only draw "monsters", but the "beauty pageant" can still be held.
Although they are all "monsters", there are big differences in their appearance.
Let alone other things, just talking about color matching, those with harmonious color matching are far better than those weird color matching that wouldn’t be that bad even if you overturned the color palette.
Not to mention the monster's appearance and skin texture - yes, according to the black-robed man's words, Ye Xing understood that "skin texture" is also an important factor.
Therefore, winning a beauty pageant is not an easy task.
When he came to his senses, he found himself outside the sewer.
Hmm? Was it arranged by the elf?
He saw that the one with the most say in the "zoo" at that time was none other than the elf, whose status was probably second only to his master.
But it's probably just like the saying "When there is no tiger in the mountain, the monkey becomes king".
Ye Xuan didn’t really care about what the specific situation was in that strange place; he was more concerned about the environment in front of him.
By the way, where is this?
Looking at the noisy crowd not far away and the hot air balloon carrying advertisements in the air, he subconsciously walked towards that place.
Well, even though his character this time is a "mysterious man", there is no rule that "mysterious men" can't join in the fun, right?
Moreover, he was collecting clues. The manual did not give him any information about the map. His willingness to explore on his own was a reflection of his hard work.
It’s not about playing around, um, absolutely not!
Ye Xing squeezed into the crowd and squeezed to the front row with great effort.
I guess you didn't recognize it, right?
Fortunately, the mysterious man has his own "mysterious" buff, and people who see him will only be left with the impression that "this person looks so mysterious."
This way you will definitely not be messed up!
It was rare for Ye Xuan to be able to walk around the streets in "Dream Travel" with such a swagger, and no one would say anything even if he squeezed to the front row in the game.
After all, the location they see and feel may not be accurate. If they like, they can directly turn on the mode of blocking other players and go shopping quietly.
He thinks it’s better to have a lively atmosphere!
It was not until he squeezed to the front of the crowd that he could see clearly what was being done here.
It turns out that this is the venue for the "beauty pageant".
He looked at the excited crowd, not sure what they were cheering for.
There is not a single monster on the stage right now, not even a human.
I don’t know if the audience can see what he can’t see.
The real NPC guessed correctly that this exclusive map has a special rule. Only "old players" who chose this map when they first registered can enjoy this "visual feast" that many people may not be able to appreciate.
After all, the appearance of some contestants... is indeed too bizarre.
Some players may not be able to accept it themselves, but they come to watch without understanding the mystery.
Firstly, the players here are xenophobic, and secondly, the shock received in the holographic game may cause big problems, so the Youmeng officials also agreed to the suggestions of those old players and really set up the game as they expected.
Ye Xuan learned about this by asking other players around him. He selectively ignored the other party's disdainful roll of the eyes and thanked them sincerely.
As an employee, he naturally has "privileges" that ordinary players do not have.
Ye Xuan opened the panel, obtained the permissions for the current map, and modified the item that prohibited himself from watching the beauty pageant.
He had seen many of those monsters before, and his threshold had been raised countless times, so he should not feel uncomfortable.
The real NPC looked towards the stage confidently, but was stunned as if he had been suddenly hit by a punch.
Ah, this...isn't it too much?
He looked at the person on the stage. Uh, he couldn't just call him a "monster" anymore. He was probably, uh, an indescribable thing? Anyway, he was an extremely weird guy, and he fell silent.
Sure enough, it was the right decision not to allow outside players to watch.
If a scared person accidentally sees this, he might report the game directly.
These monsters were able to pass the review thanks to the cartoon-like disgusting and cute style of painting. If it were a realistic style, the entire map would probably be ruined.
Because it is a game, so "play it out" is also a pun.
Ye Xuan looked at the contestants on the stage who were becoming more and more outrageous, and felt that this competition was definitely not as simple as a monster beauty pageant.
This is more like a test for the audience. The audience behind him was watching with great interest just now, but now he is about to vomit——
Don't spit on him!
You are standing right in front of the opponent, so it is easy to get hurt by mistake!
However, the organizers' staff on site soon discovered the abnormality and quickly took away the audience who felt uncomfortable with professional operations.
Ye Xuan looked around and found that this was not actually "abnormal". Up to now in the competition, many people had been taken away for this reason.
Why come here if you feel uncomfortable? Do the people here have any weird habits?
He said he didn't understand, but he could still continue watching.
The monster that appeared later was already moving towards the "good-looking" direction. This is the attitude and standard that a beauty pageant should have.
However, when he saw the little monster that looked cute, soft and elastic like a pudding, and opened its mouth to reveal at least a hundred fangs, he felt it was too early to be happy.
There is still a long way to go before it reaches the public's aesthetic taste.
However, as he watched, he suddenly thought of a question.
Why do we have to cater to the so-called "public aesthetic"?
Obviously, your unique beauty will eventually meet someone who knows how to appreciate it.
He saw some monsters that seemed very scary to him and received praise from the audience around him.
Those cheers were not fake, nor were they boos.
But I really think they are good.
Yes, we cannot simply think that things that do not conform to our own aesthetic standards should not exist in this world. He thinks it is good to respect every different kind of beauty.
At least he hasn't shown any symptoms yet, which shows that he is still very tolerant.
He won't watch the final result of the game. If the monster that comes out later doesn't beat the previous one, he will be sad.
People will support what they like.
He respected those weird looking monsters, but he didn't agree that they could win the beauty pageant.
The important thing is to participate, the important thing is to participate. That’s enough for him to see.
A very mysterious mysterious man took a mysterious stand.
At least he managed to maintain his personal image, which probably doesn't count as slacking off at work.
After watching most of the game, the real-life NPC went back into the sewer with peace of mind.
The mission this time is unclear, but the "living in the sewers" bit is probably not in vain.
It’s better to just move in, otherwise it will be terrible if the mission fails.
As a real-life NPC who is regarded by the public as the "top of the industry", he has not yet failed in any of the tasks he has been assigned.
But then again, there is a possibility that players will fail when performing tasks, so is there room for employees to fail when performing tasks?
This game can't be a trap for yourself!
But then he thought about the operations of the Planning Department that were simply tripping him up, and he became less sure.
Who knows, maybe it really happens?
He stood in the sewer, looking at the "ruins" of the camp, not knowing where to "live".
Those damn rats...if it weren't for them, how would I have ended up in this situation?
There isn't even a bed or quilt here, how can you live here?
Why not, go find some supplies...
If that doesn't work, can he stay at the "zoo"? That should also be considered a "sewer", right?
Thinking that the huge rats and strange fish outside might take advantage of his sleep to sneak in and attack him, it would be better to keep the monsters locked in cages and not to be afraid of them.
And the elf didn't look like it wanted to harm him, so it might be someone who was easy to get along with.
The man in black robe probably doesn't live in the "zoo". After all, he seems to be quite disgusted with these monsters.
Well, give it a try?
Ye Xuan plucked up the courage and planned to pay a visit.
Well, even though he had been there twice, it was still better to be cautious.
What if that night is the time when those monsters are released from their cages?
With an uneasy mood, he came to the "zoo" again.
Well, the monsters were still staying safely in the cage, which made him feel a little relieved.
The next most crucial step is to make a request... The one in charge here is the elf. He was "invited" by the other party before, and he didn't know why he was sent out again.
However, taking the first step is definitely the most important thing, and he can't give up just now.
Ask for a bed and get some compensation later, it's that simple.
It’s okay, just be brave and put forward your own ideas, yes!
While he was preparing himself mentally and encouraging himself, the elf's voice sounded in his heart again.
"Why are you here?" It sounded like she was not very welcoming to him.
"Um, I, well..." The real NPC spoke incoherently, "My residence, uh, was robbed by rats. I would like to stay at your place for one night..."
He breathed a sigh of relief and uttered the last half of the sentence smoothly: "May I ask if I am lucky enough to have this temporary residence?"
