Chapter 152 Wandering in the mysterious city of Fengdu, do you have to take the civil service exam in this strange world?
Buzz!
As a white light appeared before my eyes.
Yun Zhenyue stood firm, looked around and exclaimed, "What a huge city."
She was in the middle of an unfamiliar street.
The setting sun was as red as blood, immersing the entire eerie city in a sticky dark red.
The red fog in the city became increasingly dense, to the point where it blocked vision.
There are all kinds of weird shops on both sides of the street.
Not far in front of Yun Zhenyue.
There is a constant stream of customers at the door of a strange tavern. Dim paper lanterns sway in the wind, casting distorted shadows. The owner of the tavern greets the customers with a smile at the door.
She saw the weirdness walking through the streets.
There are vendors on tricycles and farmers selling the fruits and vegetables they grow.
The sounds of hawking and bargaining filled the entire street.
A huge and strange mountain lies behind the ghost city.
Under the cover of the red fog, you can still barely see the scenery in the distance.
It’s bigger than all the copies Yun Zhenyue had experienced before combined!
but
There is one thing that is different from what Yun Zhenyue thought.
At first she thought that Fengdu Ghost City was an ancient city.
Unexpectedly.
This is actually a fairly modern city.
The city lord should be a weird dragon country?
"Grandpa, how much is a string of candied haws?"
Yun Zhenyue saw an old man selling candied haws standing in the corner and asked with interest.
"1 Ghost Coin"
The old man did not underestimate Yun Zhenyue just because she was a human, but treated her equally and whispered.
"I want one, take this!"
Yun Zhenyue bought a candied haws.
While eating, I strolled around this strange city.
soon.
She discovered the peculiarity of this haunted city.
This haunted city seems to have a unique set of operating rules.
Weird people are not allowed to hurt others at random.
At least Yun Zhenyue walked along the way, passing by various restaurants, small clinics, and schools.
Neither the remnant soul nor the red-clothed man deliberately made things difficult for her.
This was something she had never imagined before.
The person who made this rule should be the city lord, right?
He must be very powerful, otherwise he wouldn't make all the monsters obey him.
Yun Zhenyue's legs were sore from walking, and finally she learned from a kind-hearted ghost who passed by that if she wanted to get an official position in Ghost City, she had to go to the examination hall in the city center to register for the exam.
Yun Zhenyue was stunned when she heard this.
In real life, she is preparing for the civil service exam!
I didn’t expect that I would have to take the civil service exam after coming to this weird world?
Is there a written test and an interview?
"By the way, today is the last day for registration. If you miss this opportunity, you will have to wait until next year!" The strange man kindly reminded.
"ah?!"
When Yun Zhenyue heard this, her eyes widened and she didn't even bother to finish her candied haws.
He stuffed the last two into his mouth, said thank you, and immediately ran towards the city center.
But it didn't get far.
Bang!!
Because she ran too fast, she accidentally knocked down a monster!
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, are you okay?"
Yun Zhenyue hit her head, but she didn't feel any pain at all, as if she had hit a piece of cotton.
She hurried to support the strange man.
After helping that weirdo up, Yun Zhenyue's eyes suddenly lit up!
“So beautiful~”
She couldn't help but murmured softly.
She was a girl with black hair and red eyes, a head shorter than herself.
Her long hair like raven feathers fell to her waist, her red eyes were like pure amber, and her skin was like thin porcelain with light blue veins winding through it.
Just from being knocked down to standing up.
The girl didn't make any sound.
Like an exquisitely carved doll.
He seems extremely taciturn and his face never shows any expression, making it difficult to guess what he is thinking.
Like the three-no girl in anime?
Yun Zhenyue was lost in thought and asked hurriedly, "Are you injured anywhere?"
“.”
The red-eyed girl shook her head when she heard that.
"That~"
Yun Zhenyue looked at the girl blankly. Could she be deaf and mute?
"Can't you speak?"
"Sorry, I didn't mean to bump into you. I was in a hurry to register for today's exam."
Hearing this explanation.
The girl raised her head and her eyes moved slightly.
Then he said in a very soft voice: "I'm fine, you go."
Did she just speak?
If Yun Zhenyue hadn't observed carefully, she would probably have thought she had heard it wrong.
Turns out he's a normal person!
Yun Zhenyue breathed a sigh of relief, but did not just ignore it.
You can see that there seem to be some scratches on the girl's fingertips.
Yun Zhenyue was just about to use the Hand of Purification to help the girl heal her injuries.
But the latter immediately took a step back, seeming very alert.
There is really no other way.
Yun Zhenyue could only invite him, "Are you free today? If you are, please come with me to the examination center in the city center. After the exam, I will accompany you to the hospital for treatment. You can also ask for anything you want."
“.”
The red-eyed girl didn't answer.
She seemed to be thinking about something.
Finally, she raised her head and introduced herself: "My name is Xiaoying."
In the last ten minutes of registration!
Finally arrived at the examination hall in the city center.
"Fortunately, we made it in time."
A little sweat appeared on Yun Zhenyue's forehead.
Xiaoying, who was following behind her, was at ease, without shedding a drop of sweat, and her face was calm and her heart was not beating fast.
Thanks to Xiaoying for leading the way!
He seems to be very familiar with this strange city.
Dai Yunzhenyue passed through several narrow alleys in succession.
Finally, I took a strange bus to the examination venue.
But a small incident happened along the way.
Yun Zhenyue encountered a strange highway robbery.
But when those weird creatures saw Xiaoying, they ran away immediately.
Although little is known about the little warbler.
But Yun Zhenyue could still sense that her identity seemed not simple.
But Yun Zhenyue was too lazy to think deeply about it.
After all, where there are people, there are conflicts.
Under the absolute rule of the city lord, it is natural that there are rebels.
at the same time.
Looking at the red-eyed girl Xiaoying who was abducted by Yun Zhenyue.
The audience in Longguo were all amazed.
[How come Xiao Yueyue always manages to kidnap others during missions?]
Maybe that's her personal charm.
[Fuck, there's an exam required to get a position in this ghost city. It's just like real life.]
[That's not right. Fengdu Ghost City has its own rules. How can there be robbery?]
[Some veteran players seem to have mentioned that within Ghost City there's a rebellious organization called "Embers." Their goal seems to be to return Ghost City to a chaotic society, craving the same kind of survival of the fittest that exists outside of Ghost City.]
[What the hell? Are they crazy? They want to prey on the weak. Why don't they just leave?]
[Who knows? Maybe they're just a bunch of psychopaths who went crazy because they couldn't get a government job.]
"Wait a moment, I'll go sign up."
Yun Zhenyue took a breath.
Said to Xiaoying beside him.
"Um."
Xiaoying nodded.
The scarlet eyes looked at Yun Zhenyue's departing back.
She is actually the sister of the Ember leader.
Rarely speaks.
It was also because her sister was worried that her pure heart would be deceived.
She was just about to complete a task in the organization.
As a result, he was accidentally knocked down by Yun Zhenyue.
Xiaoying is not good at refusing others, so she had no choice but to be dragged here.
But she didn't think Yun Zhenyue could pass the exam.
The possibility of passing the exam to become an official in Guicheng in one go is almost zero!
If you want to become an official in Guicheng, you need to pass rigorous written tests and interviews.
At the same time, they have to go through several rounds of screening to ensure that they will not betray the city lord.
Yu Jin also had the idea of winning over the officials of Guicheng.
It’s a pity that almost all officials look down on Yu Jin and regard them as a group of rats living in the sewers.
She had taken three rounds of exams, but each time she was far from passing!
A human being, who seemed to have just entered the haunted city.
How could I possibly pass the exam?
