Chapter 146 Earning 90 Million in a Week 10
The video call was from Xia Yi. They were already following each other, and after being added to each other's friend lists, it would be easier to contact each other privately. Jiang Yuelu picked up the call without even thinking.
Xia Yi's face popped up on the big screen, his brows furrowed.
Jiang Yuelu noticed that something was wrong, so he calmed down and asked seriously, "What's wrong?"
"There are some problems with this Linya City."
Xia Yi was still in Linya City, but the time there had turned from day to night. In order to explain the situation, he turned the camera of his mobile phone and let Jiang Yuelu see the scene ahead.
The school in the night was shrouded in a layer of white moonlight, as hazy as a white veil. Jiang Yuelu immediately realized that this was Zhao Erliu's school.
If it was just the school that had problems, Xia Yi would definitely not have used the phrase "there's something wrong with Linya City."
He must have discovered bigger troubles from some changes in this school.
Jiang Yuelu did not dare to delay and carefully observed the night scene of the school on the screen. His eyes swept across the secluded paths, the corridors full of flowers, and the fountains that were almost out of water, but he did not find anything wrong.
He sat in the shaky camera and was led by Xia Yi all the way until they stopped at the teaching building.
After stepping onto the stairs to the first floor, a corridor appeared in front of him. Xia Yi pointed his phone at the wall. There were class signs hanging on the doors of each classroom. On the empty walls adjacent to each classroom was a timetable, which recorded all the classes for the day and the corresponding teachers.
"This is Zhao Erliu's class."
Xia Yi's red eyes stared at the class schedule on the wall, and his tone was extremely serious.
"When I came here during the day, the time on this table was still 13 years, but it's different now."
Jiang Yuelu noticed that the time on the schedule had changed to 2003.
"Going back ten years?"
Xia Yi nodded, "And I didn't find Zhao Erliu in this school. He seemed to have disappeared as well."
"Is it just him?" Jiang Yuelu guessed, "Is it because I brought them here for the live broadcast?"
"I thought so at first, so I went to Zhao Erliu's home again, and his father and the judge were gone. But that's not the problem I'm talking about."
"When I first came to this Linya City, I walked around the city several times."
Jiang Yuelu was surprised to hear him talking about irrelevant things. He wanted to ask why he had to walk around the city so many times, but suddenly he remembered the information he had received.
The Ghost King may not be familiar with the domains of every Lord, but he has a comprehensive grasp of Cycas's ghosts. Jiang Yuelu did not think much about it when he received the information, and naturally thought that Xia Yi knew everything.
But he forgot that Xia Yi once said that the lives of evil spirits are different from those of humans. It is possible that they would ignore each other for hundreds of years and then suddenly burst out and rush to deal with each other... Then why can we find such complete information when the show just started?
Did you go looking for information after seeing the live broadcast?
An idea suddenly occurred to him.
In this competition with millions of contestants, there is still one person who hopes to win.
However, Jiang Yuelu wanted to win in order to find his family, and Xia Yi wanted to win because... because... he felt his heart skipped a beat.
Because I need this victory... he muttered to himself.
"...In short, I know this Linya City very well." Xia Yi paused, "Are you in a daze?"
His tone was very different from when they first met.
If Young Master Xia found out that Jiang Yuelu was not listening to him carefully when they first met, he would definitely get furious and act sarcastic, but now Xia Yi just tapped Jiang Yuelu's head in a reminder tone.
"I know you may be tired from the live broadcast, but what I'm telling you now is very important, so you must listen carefully."
"Sorry." Jiang Yuelu cheered up, "Please continue."
“…What were you talking about?”
"You know Linya City very well."
Xia Yi hummed, "That was just the beginning of Linya City. On my way to Zhao Erliu's home after leaving school, the city I saw was a little different from that during the day."
"Different? How is it different?"
"The houses have become older and shorter, the vending machines have disappeared, and the roadside environment has become worse. Combined with the class schedule I found at school, I gradually came up with a guess."
Jiang Yuelu seemed to see Xia Yi hurriedly passing through the streets and confirmed one thing in the city that was completely unrecognizable yet somewhat familiar.
"The whole city is going backwards in time."
"The time of the whole city is going backwards?"
They said in unison.
"Going back ten years? That's indeed a bit troublesome." Jiang Yuelu frowned.
The business opportunity he has found so far is to bring people from Linya City to trial. If the time in this city becomes chaotic... it will bring a lot of inconvenience to the subsequent live broadcast, and it will even be a question of whether it is possible to continue.
It would be great if I could know more about the rules of the Yinsi Money Contest... I could also plan the next step calmly. As a newcomer in the live broadcast room, Jiang Yuelu deeply felt that it would be difficult to make any progress if he didn't know the industry rules.
"This is not the biggest trouble." Xia Yi poured him another bucket of cold water.
"Time confusion and other tricks are probably a special feature that Su Tie made when he built his own ghost city. It's nothing, many city owners have their own quirks."
"But tricks like this should have no effect on me."
Xia Yi looked at the green flames that splashed on the ground. After falling to the ground, they quickly turned into dark green buds, as vibrant as if they had just grown out of the ground.
Here, his blood could not take shape and was assimilated.
Anything with life in it was an eyesore to him. A hint of displeasure flashed across his red eyes. "It seems that there is a being higher than me in this Linya City. You have to be careful."
"Is there anything higher than you?"
"I am the product of a failed ritual, a soulless puppet despised by the gods. If you hadn't awakened me and given me a name, I would probably still be sleeping in the soil."
Having said that, Xia Yi paused for a moment, and he seemed to casually change his hand to hold the phone. Jiang Yuelu saw the moonlight flash by, shining a white, cold spot on his face.
"I was born with an incomplete body, so there are naturally many beings that are superior to me."
Jiang Yuelu thought about it and said, "There's nothing wrong with being incomplete."
"oh?"
"Look at the moon in the sky."
A crescent moon shone on Xia Yi on the screen and him on the electronic chair.
"I saw it, and then what?"
"The moon is missing a piece, but it is different from other full moons. Only the incomplete moon above your head is shining on you."
"And the same goes for you." Xia Yi added.
Jiang Yuelu was used to his tough approach to everything, so she agreed, "Yes, yes. And me, I'm also short of things, and I can't even remember anything."
"It's not the same thing as talking about something else."
Xia Yi was annoyed, but said seriously: "Actually, you don't need to comfort me. When it comes to our position, it's all about standards, which is what you people often call seniority. My ability doesn't work on it, maybe because it was older than me in the past, and it's just an old thing with no vision."
“Puff.”
Such words almost made Jiang Yuelu laugh.
"Let's stop here for now. It's getting late and you have a live broadcast tomorrow." Xia Yi suddenly remembered, "By the way, what are you going to say in your next live broadcast?"
"Well... we'll have to wait until tomorrow to find out."
Xia Yi thought he meant that he would know who he would PK with tomorrow, but Jiang Yuelu said something else. After he slept for a while, someone came to his door as expected.
-
Tang Ze leaned his head against the back of the chair, sitting motionless between the four light screens.
After the live broadcast ended, he kept this posture, and group messages kept popping up on the panel, turning his pupils into a dark blue.
[Happy Corpse Club-Vice President: Where is Tang Zeren? Lost???]
[Happy Corpse Club - Vice President No. 2: I was busy with the live broadcast and didn't pay attention. Who did you say lost, Tang Ze? Are you kidding? When has he ever lost? ]
[Happy Corpse Club-Vice President: Change your ID back first]
[Vice President of the Happy Corpse Club: I haven’t even been reduced to ashes yet and you’re already thinking about usurping the throne…]
…
As an organization that has not won the championship so far, the strength of the Corpse Society is actually uneven, and Tang Ze is considered to be the top echelon of combat power. The news that he lost the PK soon caused an uproar in the internal group of the Corpse Society, but no matter how many times the group message was beeped, the man lying on the chair did not say a word.
“Beep.”
Even his friends came to chat with him privately.
【Joker: Hey, tell me whether you are dead or alive】
[Joker: The president is looking for you]
【Joker: The president is very angry!!!】
The next second, a contact signal popped up on the panel.
If Jiang Yuelu were here, she would definitely find the same video notification as the one from Xia Yi.
When he saw the contact's name, Tang Ze turned his head slightly, which was leaning against the back of the chair, and tapped his finger on the screen. A gorgeous golden light flashed by, and clusters of golden flowers bloomed one after another. Even though he had seen it countless times, Tang Ze would still be dazzled by the gorgeous light effects.
He paused before saying, "President."
"...I watched your live broadcast, it was very exciting, Xiao Tangze." The other party said chilling words in a sweet voice.
"I'm sorry, I broke my promise to you, but I had to—"
The white fingers were gently placed on the red lips.
"Shh. No need to explain. I know everything."
Hearing his soft voice, Tang Ze felt even more horrified. Everyone in the Corpse Society knew that the louder and happier the president laughed, the worse the outcome would be.
"The person you are PKing with is an inquisitor who came from afar, right? I am very interested in him."
Tang Ze frowned, "He helped me."
"Oh my, I'm really sad that I can't even call you the president anymore just for a host I just met overnight."
“…”
The gentle young man on the screen was so beautiful that it was difficult to tell whether he was male or female. He was wearing luxurious and complicated robes. He gently waved a golden fan to cover half of his face, revealing his narrow eyes.
"What kind of judge is he... I want to see it with my own eyes, too."
…
The next night, Jiang Yuelu opened the live broadcast room, but did not let her face appear on camera. She only left a notice waiting for the host to return, allowing the audience who came in first to slowly increase her popularity.
It was his second live broadcast and he was not yet good at using the various buttons in the live broadcast room.
This meant that when he received a video call, he answered it without blocking the audience. Although the incident only lasted for a second, the sharp-eyed audience still saw the name flash by.
"It's the president of the Corpse Society calling!"
“Oh my god—”
"Are you here to settle the score?!"
"Ask for a PK?"
“Fight, fight!!!”
The barrage is refreshed faster.
…
"Oh my god, I almost got caught."
Jiang Yuelu used his hand speed to quickly open the shield, which was enough to kill five people, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
He found out that this video was not from Xia Yi.
It can’t be Xia Yi, could it be…
As the connection was established, he also saw the gorgeous cutscenes that dazzled Tang Ze, and it was even more shocking when loaded on the oversized screen.
Jiang Yuelu squinted uncomfortably, "Hmm..."
This style of using gold in large areas and shining brightly always feels like I have seen it somewhere...
Just as he was thinking this, a young man waving a golden fan appeared on the screen after the golden flower bloomed. After seeing him, Jiang Yuelu blurted out immediately.
"Golden Mushroom?!"
