Chapter 237 Random Mission!
Chapter 237 Random Mission!
With everything said and done, it was finally time to step into the Famous Oglum forest.
The rules were simple. Get the flags they could get. People in the same sect could also fight among themselves to collect these flags.
Although it wasn't ideal, you have to know that it is every man for himself out here, since many were dying for the chance to enter the Great Yanging Institution.
Little Lulu thinned her lips, already tired from the host's rambling.
"Uncle Host, can we go in now?"
The host's lips twitched in annoyance.
"Sure, you can do whatever you like. I'm done."
"Great!" Lulu exclaimed, immediately tapping her watch and allowing it to transform before everyone's eyes.
What?!
Many people in the arena were confused and curious about what sort of puppet this little girl was carrying.
What was it doing?
Just flying around her?
Everyone found that it wasn't just the little girl who had these little flying puppets, but everyone in the Profound Sect.
Whether it was Emperor Zeyu, Emperor Shao Long or Emperor Ming, all of them zoomed in, allowing their senses to penetrate through the flying hand-size cards.
But why was it that they couldn't understand it or see the core foundation of the floating cards?
How are they made? And why was the hidden aura they sensed from the card so strong that it caused them to sweat?
For some reason, they all began feeling uneasy.
Even Emperor Ming from the Tah province felt so, not liking things out of his control, especially since he decided to let the Profound Sect fend for themselves during and after the competition.
Many elders from other sects also felt the same, though they were still more inclined to believe the Profound sect could never rise above the vast majority, especially those from Yanging.
Well, this was it.
Lulu, the others, and every other warrior stepped through the formation, only to realize they appeared in far different areas.
Lulu found herself in a group of about 210, but she wasn't alone.
There was Bhoh Owo, as well as her elder sister Hulan Yi, a top inner sect disciple; 8th prince Wen Sima, and Baytang Yu, a Golden sect disciple.
There were just 5 of them among the 210 from the Profound Sect that appeared here.
One should bare in mind that
In the Tah province alone, apart from the 3 big sects, there are over 41 other sects and organizations that had spots for the competition.
That's the Tah province alone. The other provinces have 50–100 sects, organizations, and factions joining in.
Mind you, some of these sects were spending a total of 300 warriors, while others only got roughly 70 quota spots instead.
At the end of the day, there were thousands and thousands of people lined up to compete.
.
The place they appeared was next to a lake.
The strong sea breeze rushed from the waters, revealing a faint, oddly fishy smell that many people weren't used to.
Why did it smell so bad? It's not like this was their first time being around a lake.
Lulu and the others weren't so surprised, having smelled worse things in the simulation world.
Already, many eyes gazed at them murderously.
Everyone hasn't forgotten the assignment given by their elders: kill the Profound Sect Members on sight.
In particular, one of the strong Silver Quota disciples stepped out from the masses with his group of minions behind him.
Those watching the confrontation out in the stadium were already extremely excited, looking forward to a good show.
"Hey, isn't that Dsang Tsi from the Heaven Bearing sect?"
"Wipe! It's him. He is the 11th on the list of the strongest Lower Realm Core disciples!"
"Hehehehehehe... just watch and see. These trashbags are dead now for sure."
"Tsk. Just look at how pretentious their elders are. Why are they acting like they're not afraid of their disciples losing their lives out there?"
"Pfft~ If you ask me, they should be too scared to react."
"Too scared, I think they must have given up all hope seeing as they still have the guys to eat so calmly."
That's right.
The Profound Sect elders were all heartlessly eating to their heart's content, not even caring that their disciples were in danger.
Everyone mocked their actions but inwardly wanted to cry and curse at how shameless these people were for bringing such enticing food to the arena.
Beside the corner for the Profound Sect far below were 2 strange metal boxes that many modern people would say resembled a slim-bodied vending machine.
Today, the elders had a special opportunity to buy 3 bags of popcorn and order two of every drink flavor.
Do you know who will be serving their orders for them?
It was Ru Moyen and his little brother, Ru Mimo, Lulu's little knight.
As official temporary servers, they had a no-injury guarantee, ensuring no one could touch them today.
To get your food or drinks, just place the order through your Registration Card. And wouldn't you know it, only those with registration cards could purchase today's food and drinks.
.
Grrrrrrrr~
The loud growls made many lower their heads in shock and embarrassment, not recalling the last time their stomachs had ever growled.
After breathing through their mortal shells, it was indeed too different for one's belly to growl except through stimulation.
So what sort of heavy aura was this that made their bellies rumble so much?
Everyone wiped the corner of their mouths, astonished that they could also drool.
Damn!
The intoxicating aroma made them subconsciously stretch their hands whenever the servers passed their way to deliver food or drinks to the elders, and sect master high above.
Emperor Ming gritted his teeth, hating Leisho and Ancestor Myu for eating and laughing merrily, not even offering him a bit.
If not for his strong self-control he would've been like the many others below the arena who subconsciously stood whenever they smelled the aroma.
In the meantime, the Profound Sect elders seemed to be enjoying themselves a great deal.
"Hahahahahahahah~ As expected of Boss Chu. His popcorn never fails to stimulate tiny taste buds."
"Lying trough. Before I had this vanilla ice cream, I thought I had seen it all and eaten every possible luxurious meal there is in the lower realm. But now I know how naive I was."
"Damn! This is even better than imperial food, right? Tsk. Just the smell alone is enough to make anyone with a brain know just how appetizing it is... too bad only we can enjoy this delectable food and drinks today."
"That's right! Now that I think about it, everyone here is pitiful for never having a chance to know what it's like to eat food for the Gods."
"Alas... poor them."
"..." [Everyone else]
Everyone wanted to cry without tears.
They suspected these Profound Sect elders were doing it on purpose but had no evidence.
Hmph!
Elder Sydan, Sect Master of the Heaven Bearing sect, scoffed.
Using every ounce of his being to focus on the confrontation in the forest, he could only curse and hope his sect disciples would deal with those bastard Profound Sect members quickly.
'Do it! Finish that little girl and her group fast!'
As if his prayers were heard, Dsang Tsi and his minions playfully reached for their weapons, not taking Lulu and her group seriously.
But no one could have foreseen that this would be the biggest mistake and disgrace of all time for many of them.
.
~Ding!
An alert echoed through the registration cards for Lulu and her group.
[Random mission: You have been challenged by an unruly enemy. What will your Character do in your situation?

~Ding!
[Random Mission Countdown has begun. Please accept or reject the mission before the countdown ends.]
[Countdown Begins at 3 seconds.]
2... 1...
[Accept!]
No one wanted time, as they suddenly looked at Dsang Tsi's group with a strange glint in their eyes.
Yes... how would their characters react?
Hulan Yi took out her fans and quickly did a Kitana pose.
Wen Sima raised his hands like Jean Grey in X-Men.
Bihn Owo swung his hammer like Thor, and Batang Yu slowly held out two daggers attached to chains.
Anyone seeing him would know what character he was, especially since he followed the teachings of the Lin Kuei.
As for little Lulu, well, she embodied the powers of Erina Nakiri in Food Wars. Just her evaluation on any opponent could make them fall into a deep depression.
She also had a pot as her weapon.
Well, she was cute and a little arrogant and bossy, since she wanted to embody her character well.
Hmph!
(V^V)
She flipped her pigtails, pointing her frying pan at the group mercilessly.
"You dare to fight the God tongue? Don't you know you're simply courting death?"
"..."
"How ignorant!"
Boom!
Lulu stormed hard.
