"Just who is this young man?"
Watching Gu Mu overpower those dozen or so experts, occasionally uttering sarcastic remarks, none of the dozen or so burly men dared to retort; they were all focused on parrying.
Those watching from the street couldn't help but ask curiously.
Not only the people on the outer street, but also those who had become citizens of the hidden city on the inner street, heard the commotion and pressed their eyes against the windows to watch the excitement.
"It seems this heartless woman has met her match."
"That's good, let's deflate her arrogance a bit, otherwise, Xiao Su will really think she's the number one person in Hidden City."
"Let's watch the show."
The people who spoke all wore the citizen badges of the Hidden City, but they showed no intention of making a move.
The white-haired old man who had previously tried to dissuade Gu Mu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then felt ashamed of himself, saying, "This young man is so capable; I was blind to his talent..."
Gu Mu raised his foot and kicked the last person who could still stand away, then said coldly, "Now, may I go in?"
He looked up and met a pair of eyes by the window that, though cold, were definitely among the most beautiful women.
He knew that this was the mastermind behind the incident.
Xiao Su gripped the teacup tightly in her hand, her fingers trembling slightly from the force, her knuckles gradually turning white.
After enduring it for a while, she slowly put down her teacup, her face showing a mixture of resentment and curiosity towards Gu Mu.
Even if she personally intervenes, she will only be humiliated if someone who can't even handle a bench and a dozen or so experts can't be dealt with.
Xiao Su could only watch helplessly as Gu Mu walked into the inner street.
For the first time in a long time, the rule she set herself was broken.
Who exactly is this person?
That's incredibly powerful!
This was a thought that occurred to everyone at the same time.
Although Bench is Xiao Su's subordinate, his strength is definitely enough. If Xiao Su hadn't been in power, he would never have been able to recruit Bench.
What's more, it was a bench and a dozen top martial arts masters ganging up on one person, yet he didn't even have a chance to fight back.
Gu Mu couldn't accurately know where his strength in the martial arts world ranked.
But as early as when he swallowed his first Body Strengthening Pill and Spirit Pill, he was already able to overpower the martial arts prodigy, Young Man in Green Robes.
He's stronger now than before, so he should be ranked in the T0 tier.
Gu Mu thought to himself.
But he found that everyone on the street was looking at him like he was a monster.
Gu Mu quickly realized that his strength was probably far beyond the realm of humans in this world. If judged by human standards, his combat power would likely have collapsed. However, his current identity was the Lord of Hidden City, so even if he was incredibly powerful, it didn't matter; the stronger he was, the better.
The stronger you are, the more you can keep the evil spirits and monsters of the martial arts world in check.
"He seems to be heading to the city lord's mansion?"
Along the way, no one stopped Gu Mu anymore. After all, even Xiao Su, who had lost the most face, had given up struggling, so the others naturally wouldn't want to make a fool of themselves.
From defeating the benchwarmer to reaching the city lord's mansion, Gu Mu's journey was smooth.
He even noticed that some of the citizens in the inner street were curious and started following him, seemingly wanting to know what he was doing at the city lord's mansion.
Gu Mu entered the city lord's mansion and came to the task panel.
The task panel can publish a total of ten tasks. The first three have a gold background and can only be edited by the city lord of the Hidden City. Currently, Gu Mu has only edited one task: "Capture the Emperor of the Southern Kingdom."
But clearly, no one has that ability.
The seven lines below have gray backgrounds and are all empty; no one has posted any tasks.
It's not that they don't want to issue tasks, but rather that they issue tasks on the task panel with two conditions: first, becoming a citizen of the Hidden City; and second, obtaining enough contribution points.
The benefits that Hidden City citizens receive from Hidden City are also positively correlated with their contribution value.
"Could this person have captured the emperor of the Southern Kingdom and want to claim the mission reward?"
"This emperor of the Southern Kingdom is only good at fighting. The common people praise him so much, but he built the Southern Kingdom with the help of the lord of the Hidden City!"
Being in the hidden city naturally gives rise to a sense of superiority.
It was as if everything in the Hidden City belonged to them.
"However, this person seems to be stronger than the Southern Emperor. He might actually be able to capture the Southern Emperor alive."
"Could he be the first person to complete the task issued by the city lord? I knew it! Why did he have to go into the inner street?"
But soon, everyone shut up.
Because they saw that Gu Mu did not claim the reward, but instead posted a second task on the taskbar with a golden background.
[Join the soldiers from the South to attack the Eagle Kingdom. Reward: 100 contribution points and one day's use of a bright yellow electric scooter (usage rights are granted on a first-come, first-served basis)]
Immediately afterwards, Gu Mu took out the bright yellow electric scooter he had won in the lottery from the system inventory.
This thing is only useful once; it's not very useful otherwise.
It's much more comfortable to operate an excavator.
Let's just use it as a reward for completing a task.
He didn't lose out this time.
After all, penicillin is a strategic resource. He would naturally provide it during wartime, but he couldn't just take it out as a mission reward and let it circulate widely among the people.
As for hybrid rice, those who can enter the hidden city are not short of food.
The shops selling the most alluring and magical looms have all been sold.
Since there was nothing of value to offer, Gu Mu decided to take advantage of the situation for free. After all, contribution points weren't tangible items; they were just conditions set by Gu Mu himself, and the bright yellow electric scooter was simply for their use.
