Wu Xiangwang sat on the roof of the car, speechless as he watched the bloody wanted poster explode in the secret room city.
The first two reasons were used, but what about the last one about cheating on the city lord and running away from marriage? He just played the role of a caring and cheerful person, but he really didn't want to get promoted.
When Wu Xiangwang thought about it this way, he thought about Xue who clearly killed Jax but insisted on putting the blame on him, and Scallop who clearly volunteered to go out of the city with him but insisted on saying that he was the one who abducted his brother-in-law. These people are so weird, they all like to push their mistakes onto others.
Neither are honest.
Wu Xiangwang felt the evening breeze, watched the setting sun gradually descending into the horizon, and finally smiled.
They were on their way to the fourth city. They had already passed through three of the ten main cities, and the rest of the journey would surely be completed soon.
As Wu Xiangwang was thinking this, Wu Xingyun's head popped out of the car window below: "Brother Wangwang, Brother Wang asked you to come down to discuss the situation in the next city."
Wu Xiangwang nodded, grabbed the trunk lid and flipped it down, then climbed back into the car.
At this time, Wang Xiao was already sitting in the car and placed his pass on the small table in the car. Wu Xiangwang walked over and sat down. He saw that the page was the page of the City of Secret Rooms, but there was only a pass mark for the Brave Mission on it.
When he distributed the Shining Golden Key to Shang Chong, Wang Xiao, and the others, their passes displayed the mark of having passed the Hero's Quest. It was precisely because of this mark that they dared to bravely enter the quest.
Wu Xiangwang also took out his pass. He had completed all the missions in the City of Carnival and two of the three main missions in the City of Peace and Happiness. The only remaining mission in the City of Secret Rooms was the Brave Mission.
He had originally thought he hadn't completed the Beauty quest in the City of Bliss, but after leaving the city and opening his pass, he discovered he had actually completed it. Thinking about it, the Beauty quest in the City of Bliss required befriending three spooks and dancing with at least one of them at the ball. If dancing with an uninvited spook could count as dancing, then he had indeed completed the quest.
However, I didn't get any benefit at all.
And now, a third blood-red A automatically appeared on his pass. He sighed, "Why are these weirdos so petty? I really didn't do anything."
Wang Xiao twitched his lips and glanced at him. "Your pass will definitely make you a target of special attention in the next city. Remember to disguise yourself. Although Liusha is also an A-level, his appearance is a natural disguise."
"Right now, it's mainly me, Shang Chong, and Xing Yun. Because we've broken into three cities in a row, our wanted level has risen from the lowest F to D. If we raise our wanted level by one level with each city we break into, we'll become A-level wanted criminals by the sixth city. If that happens, the whole team will be A-level wanted criminals, which I don't think is a good thing."
Wu Xiangwang thought of the Royal Capital Hunting Team that A Mao mentioned, and his expression turned serious. "Yes, if all the members were A-level, it would be very dangerous. What do you think?"
Wang Xiao nodded. "In the next city, I'm going to search the trading house to see if there's any way to lower the wanted level or exempt it. Also, I noticed that the weirdos divide power into different levels, not just the most basic numerical levels, but also titles like earl and marquis. If the City of Terror has any relevant information, you can also find out about the weirdos' power levels and even their status and power system."
Wang Xiao pushed up his glasses and said, "Although we are just passing through this world and won't stay long, if we want to defeat our opponents, we must first understand them."
"Only after we understand the rules of the world of the weirdos can we exploit them and even change them. Breaking through from the inside is always much easier than fighting our way through."
Wu Xiangwang nodded in agreement. Shang Chong patted Wang Xiao on the shoulder and said, "I've always said that you're a great data geek, especially good at calculating."
Wang Xiao nudged Shang Chong with his elbow in disgust, then gave his final advice.
"This journey will take fifteen days, which is quite long. We might encounter many teams heading from the City of Fear to the City of Secret Chambers. We can then exchange information with them and see what we can gain."
Everyone in the car had no objection. Lin Yuan, who was driving, listened to their conversation and looked through the glass window at the relaxed and happy expression on Wu Xiangwang's face. He also felt a rare sense of relaxation.
After that, they headed towards the City of Fear at a relatively fast speed. However, the further east the car drove, the sparser the surrounding vegetation became. On the fifth day of their eastward journey, the gray fog had covered their entire vision. Even with the headlights on, they could only see an area ten meters ahead.
Wu Xiangwang sat in the passenger seat and looked forward, feeling a little eerie.
This kind of eerie feeling is quite different from the dilapidated castle in the carnival city. There is always a feeling that some lonely ghost will suddenly jump out of the fog.
"...Oh my god, we haven't even reached the City of Fear yet, and I'm already feeling a bit terrified. Are we going to walk in this fog for another ten days?"
Shang Chong stretched out his arm and rubbed the goose bumps on it. He didn't even dislike Wu Xingyun's mushrooms. He felt particularly fulfilled holding them in his arms.
Liusha also pulled off a piece of mushroom and held it in his arms: "It's indeed a bit scary. Are there man-eating ghosts in there?"
Shang Chong looked at him with a complicated expression when he heard this. "Look at the way you are now, buddy, believe me, if a ghost sees you, it's not certain who will run away first!"
At this moment, Yuan, who was driving, suddenly changed his expression. He turned the steering wheel quickly to the left. Three seconds later, a car that was driving in a mess rushed past them.
Don’t forget each other: “???”
"Did a car just rush over there? Did their driver drink a few bottles of old white liquor? Why is he so drunk?"
Wu Xiangwang shook his head. "The human adventurers in this world wouldn't drink and drive. Something must have gone wrong."
"I just heard a scream coming from that car. Is there a high-level monster hidden in the gray fog attacking us?"
As Wang Xiao said this, he opened the car window and stuck his head out. He pressed his index finger on his glasses, and his eyes flashed with energy, trying to see clearly what was in front of him through the fog.
Three seconds later, his expression suddenly changed: "Be careful! There are many strange things in the fog ahead!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the car window seemed to be hit by something, with a loud bang.
Fortunately, the windows of this top luxury car are strong enough, otherwise they would have been cracked into a spider web shape after being hit like this.
But the collision was not the only one. After the first invisible collision, two more bangs were heard. Wang Xiao had already closed the car window by this time. The data in his eyes flashed and described:
"It's a mimicry that's hard to see with the naked eye. Their bodies are well hidden in the fog. They're about the size of a football, with an overall energy value of around 300, barely qualifying as a level three weirdness."
When Wang Xiao said this, the car had already been hit several times in a row. Shang Chong was so unhappy that he wanted to use lightning but couldn't find a place to strike. Finally, Wu Xingyun used his two big mushrooms that were abominable as a barrier, and the frequency of the car being hit gradually decreased.
This magical effect made Lin Yuan look at Wu Xingyun several times. In some ways, this kid was a weirdo.
This is because this road can slow down human progress and make people accumulate enough "dark ghosts in their hearts" before entering the city of fear.
But thanks to the large mushroom-shaped barriers with colorful edges clearing the way, Wu Xiangwang and his companions' speed of advancement was almost unaffected. On the third day of their journey through the gray fog, which was also the eighth day of their journey towards the City of Fear, they finally encountered another group of adventurers in the fog.
There were people gathered in a panic inside a protruding stone wall. There were at least four or five teams, about fifty or sixty people.
Seeing them, Wu Xiangwang quickly patted Lin Yuan's arm and said, "Go over there and talk to them! Maybe you can help in some way."
Lin Yuan pulled the corner of his mouth.
"You're always so kind."
Wu Xiangwang looked at him and said, "We are all on the same path."
Then Lu Zhihao and others who were hiding in the stone wall to rest saw a luxurious strange car speeding through the fog that gave them a headache, and drove directly to the front of the stone wall fortress they had erected. Then, a person got out from the passenger seat first.
"Hey, be careful, there's something fishy going on..."
With a bang, Wu Xiangwang accurately slapped away the invisible and strange ball that was hiding in the fog and trying to attack him. Then he greeted the stunned Lu Zhihao and others:
"Are you all from the City of Fear? We just came out of the City of Secret Chambers. How about exchanging information?"
Lu Zhihao and the others turned the lighting towards Wu Xiangwang, and then the light inexplicably turned to the two large mushrooms with colorful edges on the car.
Lu Zhihao looked at the two giant mushrooms with his eyes shining. "Let's put the intelligence issue aside for now. Um, we want to ask first, are you selling these two giant mushrooms next to your car window?"
Someone even more anxious spoke up directly, "Brothers! As long as you don't get scared and have wild thoughts in the City of Fear, you can easily get through the 30 days! Can those two giant mushrooms of yours block the invisible monsters in the fog? If so, please sell some to us! We're being hit by those invisible monsters and can't even move!"
Don’t forget each other: “…”
He turned to look at Wu Xingyun and found that Wu Xingyun was indeed grinning from ear to ear. He probably never thought that his mushrooms would one day be so popular.
However, between the invisible buff and the invisible weirdness, he really couldn't tell which one he wanted to face less.
"Okay, the mushroom issue is easy to discuss. Let's talk about the City of Fear first."
What does it mean to just let go of your fears and get through it? Could that city actually make the things people feared materialize?
Wu Xiangwang thought about it casually for a while, and then he couldn't laugh anymore.
Damn, could it really be the same as he thought?!
