Xia Chuhe suppressed his anger, his face darkened, and he said in a harsh voice, "Tell me what you think."
The old man commented on each one: "Too young, lacking in spirit, no good, no good!"
"He's bald and has dark skin, no way!"
"He's quite handsome, but unfortunately he's bald and can't smile. He's like a wooden doll. No way!"
"He's laughing like an idiot, doesn't seem very bright, oh well!"
"You look good, but it's a pity you're getting old. What a coincidence!"
"The boy is too strong and lacks gentleness, and he's also too muscular. Not good, not good!"
The old man finally gave Zhu Guanshan a satisfied smile: "You're good, you can give it a try."
As the only one affirmed by the old man, Zhu Guanshan was not happy. She was very annoyed, but dared not lose her temper, so she could only urge Xia Chuhe: "Hurry up and leave after you've finished asking."
Li Qiusheng was also unhappy. How could he be happy when people called him stupid?
Wang Yan's face flushed red; the old man's comments always sent a chill down his spine...
The aesthetic sense of Dream City seems to be a bit different from that of the outside world? Especially when it comes to men.
Xia Chuhe glanced at the old man with annoyance, then turned and left.
Being stared at is so uncomfortable.
In just a short distance, Xia Chuhe had come to realize that Dream City was a place filled with stares. Everyone here was staring at others, and at the same time, being stared at by others.
Gaze, judge, score.
There is only one standard for everything—beauty.
The beauty of Dream City is exceptionally superficial—appearance, white skin, youth, thinness, and stunning looks…
Li Yue suddenly spoke up: "Let's buy the parts in town, fix the car, and then leave?"
Dream City made her feel like she was back in the food store, as if she had become someone else's canary in the palm of their hand, unable to escape or die.
Xia Chuhe said softly, "Okay."
The group continued walking along the scattered shacks.
The closer people got to Dream City, the better their living conditions became; shacks were replaced by wooden houses, mud-brick houses, and red-brick houses.
She also became cleaner and more beautiful.
Upon arriving at the gates of Dream Chaser City, Xia Chuhe and his group were stopped once again.
Xia Chuhe originally thought the guards at the city gate wanted to collect the toll again, but the man said, "Captain Bai mentioned you. You are not welcome in Dream Chasing City."
Within Dream City, very few people know Xia Chuhe and his group. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Captain Bai will undoubtedly be the representative of Dream City.
Avoiding the guards' eyes and ears, the group went to look at the map drawn by Zhu Guanshan again.
Dream City is practically the only way to reach the southeast corner. To bypass this city, you'd need to go through five or six more dungeons. If you want to go through the underground route, you'd have to return the way you came, or go through one more dungeon.
While hesitating, a business card was handed to Zhu Guanshan.
"Hello, I'm White Cat, the star hunter from the West District. Are you interested in participating in the Dream Star Election in three days?"
Zhu Guanshan accepted the business card: "Can you take all of us into the city?"
The white cat glanced at everyone and said, "If all those of the right age sign up for the Dream Star Election, I might give it a try."
White Cat then explained the application and selection criteria for the Dream Star Election to everyone.
Eligibility: Anyone aged 15 to 25 is eligible to participate, regardless of gender.
Selection criteria: The first selection was a preliminary round, and the criteria were similar to those summarized by Xia Chuhe—fair-skinned, young, and thin…
After the preliminary selection comes the second round, which involves not only judges' votes but also public campaigning.
These two phases take place in the West End, ultimately selecting ten Dream Star candidates.
Next, they went to the outer perimeter of the Moon Temple to participate in the final selection. The participants in the final selection were Dream Star candidates selected from the five districts, totaling fifty people.
Of the fifty people, only five will ultimately be fortunate enough to enter the Temple of the Moon and become true Dream Stars.
...
The repeated provocations and constant stares from the representative of Dream City made Xia Chuhe feel extremely frustrated, and she even considered breaking the rules of Dream City.
To break through, you must first understand.
Xia Chuhe said, "I can."
Seeing this, Lu Dangui, Bu Yi, and Li Qiusheng all agreed, and even Wang Yan agreed in a harsh tone: "I'll sign up too!"
The white cat was very satisfied with the result.
She arrogantly led the crowd to force their way through the city gate.
Faced with the white cat, the stern guard instantly stammered, "Ms. White, Captain White, Captain, no, you mustn't..."
"What's a weasel? These people are all going to participate in the Dream Star Election. Are you tired of living?"
The guard was so embarrassed by the scolding that he couldn't even lift his head. He awkwardly stepped aside and let Xia Chuhe and the others in.
At the Dream Star Election registration office, a long queue had formed at the foot of the city wall.
The white cat took out several small tubes: "The identification method in the city is blood testing. If you are in a hurry, you can squeeze some blood for me, and I will help you register. Also, the registration fee is one pound of food per person. If you don't have that, I won't prepare it for you."
"There's no rush," Xia Chuhe said.
White Cat: "Okay, after you've registered, go find the guards and tell them you're looking for White Cat. They'll bring you to my house."
After giving his instructions, the white cat left to continue searching for promising seedlings.
Li Yue and Bao'er were ineligible to register due to their age. Xia Chuhe secretly gave Li Yue some food and a miniature transceiver, sending her to the city to look for shops selling energy converters. Bao'er remained with the main group.
After seeing Li Yue off, the group split up to save time and queued separately.
Xia Chuhe pointed in a direction: "I'm going there."
Among the group she pointed to was a familiar figure—the star she had seen in the shack.
