Chapter 4: I Admit I Was a Little Too Loud Just Now!

The screen in the Dragon Kingdom was plunged into dead silence.

Everyone held their breath, eyes wide open.

Their pupils were filled with shock and horror.

Some people clutched their heads with both hands, unable to believe what they had just witnessed.

He didn't die even after that?

Someone actually knocked over a Weird?

Is this something a human being can do?

Countless questions flooded everyone's minds.

Just when everyone thought the Dragon Kingdom's Chosen One was about to be punished, the security room had already appeared within the instance.

The Dragon Kingdom's Chosen One didn't even spare the Weird a second glance, turning around and walking away.

He left behind only a stunning, peerless silhouette.

He seemed to have done something trivial, without any excess expression, not even feeling enough joy to show it.

This is the composure exclusive to the strong!

That unparalleled sense of detachment was deeply etched into everyone's minds.

It took a while for many to react.

In other words, he passed this stage?

They had seen people use rules to deal with Weirds, but someone directly knocking over a Weird? This was a first.

The shock Zhang Yangqing brought to the audience before the screen was simply beyond their scope of cognition.

No one had ever imagined that there could be such a way to clear a stage.

The next second, the barrage on the screen of the Dragon Kingdom's Chosen One flooded in like a torrential beast.

Holy shit? I mean, holy shit, holy shit!

This is fucking possible? So that's how you use a police baton?

I told you he wasn't afraid; it turns out he's just bold because of his high skill!

From today on, this man is my big brother. Everyone who talked bad about my big brother just now, kneel and apologize! I'm kneeling first!

I'm sorry, I admit I was speaking a bit loudly just now. I apologize to my big brother!

So cool. He's handsome and can fight. This big brother is peerless!

Too domineering, right? The rules say I can't look at your eyes, but they didn't say you could look at me!

As long as I can beat the Weird to death, the Weird can't hurt me. This is a god-tier level of understanding!

If this handsome guy can make it out alive, I want to marry you!

Back off, everyone! He's mine, no one is allowed to snatch him!

He did something I wouldn't even dare to dream of. Who dares to say my Dragon Kingdom has no one now?

A master like this entering the Weird Talk world—truly, Heaven blesses my Dragon Kingdom. The Dragon Kingdom is saved!

Seeing Zhang Yangqing's formidable strength and confident demeanor, all the viewers in the Dragon Kingdom were boiling with excitement. Some were even running through the streets, cheering and jumping for joy.

Nine consecutive failures had left them feeling an unprecedented sense of oppression.

Now that a master had finally appeared, how could they not be excited?

It seemed as if everyone was releasing all the pent-up frustration they had carried for so long.

Many also took deep breaths, kneeling and begging Zhang Yangqing not to be reckless. With his skills and insight, as long as he didn't act recklessly, he would surely be able to clear the instance.

On the side of the Dragon Kingdom's expert group, Hu Liqi analyzed and answered the doubts of many viewers.

It was his duty to soothe everyone's emotions.

After all, many people didn't understand why the Dragon Kingdom's Chosen One kept looking at the wax figures' eyes without triggering a Weird event.

Why was the Dragon Kingdom's Chosen One fine after destroying the wax figure?

Hu Liqi posted a barrage to explain: First, this Chosen One had already thoroughly analyzed the rules. Rule 3, which tells the Chosen One not to look at the wax figures' eyes, is to prevent the Chosen One from coming into contact with the Weird-disguised wax figures too early.

In other words, it's fine for the Chosen One to look at the eyes of ordinary wax figures; it's only a problem when looking at the ones disguised by Weirds. The rules won't be very specific; you have to judge for yourself.

And the Weird-disguised wax figures can only harm the Chosen One if they make eye contact. For the Weird, this is a dead rule that cannot be violated.

Therefore, this Chosen One has the ability to destroy the current stage of Weirds, so he doesn't need to hide. This is what is called a 'special' skill among Chosen Ones. However, everyone must be careful: those without this ability should never try it.

Second, the Weird-disguised wax figure belongs to the Weird, not the wax figure. Many people have already analyzed this in previous instances, so I won't explain it too much here. You can look up previous videos to see.

Therefore, this Chosen One will not receive any punishment for breaking the Weird-disguised wax figure.

Finally, a small addition: in case you enter an instance in the future, don't be overly afraid of Weirds. Weirds also need special conditions to attack the Chosen One. Everyone must learn to use the rules reasonably.

After hearing the explanation from the expert Hu Liqi, the viewers' doubts were finally resolved.

So that's how it was. We misunderstood this Chosen One; he was just bold due to his high skill, and we mistook it for seeking death.

Many even thought that if they had this Chosen One's skills, they might be even more reckless than him.

Hu Liqi's main task now was to impart some of his own clearance experience to everyone and tell them how to analyze the rules, as the next person might not be as capable as this guy.

When experienced people share their experience, it can improve the awareness of the whole nation and let everyone know how to survive in the Weird Talk instances.

After posting this, Hu Liqi was also exceptionally excited, his hands trembling slightly.

Because his intuition told him that the person currently in the instance was very strong—much stronger than him.

While the viewers of the Dragon Kingdom were excited, viewers from other countries began to pour cold water on them.

It's only the first round, and it's only twelve o'clock. With the way the Dragon Kingdom's Chosen One is playing, he's definitely going to die later!

Exactly. Barely surviving the first round and already cheering? Is it worth it? If I didn't know better, I'd think you had already cleared the instance. Oh wait, almost forgot, you guys have nine losses in a row. My bad, my bad.

Hahahaha, I'm leaving a mark here. Let's see how the Dragon Kingdom's Chosen One dies from his own recklessness later.

I bet fifty cents that the Dragon Kingdom's Chosen One won't live past five o'clock.

Five o'clock? You're giving him too much credit. With his playstyle, he'll die from recklessness at the two o'clock stage.

I've started a poll. Everyone click the link behind me to enter the [When will the Dragon Kingdom's Chosen One die from recklessness] poll.

Viewers from other countries did not hesitate to mock the Dragon Kingdom, and all sorts of sarcastic remarks were everywhere.

However, the Dragon Kingdom viewers didn't care; they were too lazy to argue.

Because their eyes were already locked on the big screen, looking forward to Zhang Yangqing's subsequent performance.

Inside the Weird Talk instance, Zhang Yangqing was the first to return. Then, as stated in Rule 4, he made a phone call to report the wax figure that did not match the picture.

The other Chosen Ones were terrified. Even John, the Chosen One from the Eagle Kingdom, stood there for about five minutes, making sure there were no traps, before cautiously checking the wax figure's serial number and then trembling as he returned to the security room.

He had observed previous instances and knew well that even if one had found the information to pass, one could not be careless.

It was precisely because some Chosen Ones relaxed after finding the information that problems arose later.

Yasuda Yu, the Chosen One from the Sakura Kingdom, was very timid, and the scene just now had almost scared the soul out of him.

However, luckily, he instinctively closed his eyes and escaped this disaster.

Touching the wax figure's code with his hand, his legs were too weak to stand, so he crawled back to the security room on his knees.

After all, people from the Sakura Kingdom are very familiar with the kneeling posture, and he crawled quite fast.

It was just that the cold wind blowing in his face made his pants feel a bit chilly.

And there was a puddle of water left on the ground.

This also led many Sakura Kingdom viewers to curse him for being a coward, affecting their country's image.

Among them, several made mistakes, finding out after returning that they hadn't remembered the serial number, and had to go back out to check again.

Overall, out of two hundred Chosen Ones, only forty-two survived the first round.

The difficulty of a two-star instance can be imagined.

In previous low-star instances, there were at least some human NPCs to help.

The Chosen Ones wouldn't have that feeling of helplessness, anxiety, and unease.

Now, not only was there no one else, but they were also in such a weird and empty place.

Thinking about having to face the Weird alone, most people would still make mistakes.

In other words, many people had already judged what to do in their minds, but because of nervousness, they failed to execute it properly, which led to their failure.

When the remaining Chosen Ones returned to the security room, they found two extra items on the table.

A note and an access card.
