My citizenship is at risk

Chapter 147: Leaving Peacefully, Robbery and Being Robbed

"At this stage, I have quite a few tokens."

After putting away the token, Chu Mu looked outside the stadium.

With the end of the first round of challenges, more than a dozen new faces gathered in the stadium.

"The outcome of this round of challenge cannot be concealed. I'm afraid someone has already guessed the number of tokens I have and is targeting me."

Chu Mu's eyes showed a thoughtful look, "24 tokens, I am now a fat sheep."

"If there are multiple Soaring Realm masters besieging me, with my current strength, there is a high possibility that the token will be snatched away."

"Unless, I never leave the safe zone."

"But then I'm stuck at this one zodiac challenge point, which is definitely not a wise approach."

"It seems that another difficulty of the zodiac challenge is to leave smoothly with the token." Chu Mu suddenly thought of something and couldn't help turning his head to look around the stadium. His eyes finally fixed on a certain place and he raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Hey, you should get out now." Kaiyangniu pointed to the gate of the stadium. "The challenge is over. It's time to clear the field."

Looking at the Kaiyang Niu, Chu Mu's heart moved and he suddenly spoke.

"Excuse me, can the challenge be repeated?"

"Sure." Kaiyang Niu said calmly, "As long as we gather ten people, we can start the challenge. There is no limit on repeated participation, and participants in the previous round of challenges have priority in participating in the next round of challenges."

"Really..." Chu Mu took out two tokens and handed them to Kaiyang Niu without hesitation, "I'll play again."

Kaiyang Niu looked at Chu Mu meaningfully, took the token from his hand, and said, "Okay."

He strode out and headed towards the martial arts students waiting outside the stadium. "My challenge is a power duel. Teams are randomly formed. Two tokens are required to enter, and 2 are required to win. We need to gather 16 people to start. We are still short of 10 people."

"Me! I'm coming!"

"And I!"

Almost as soon as Kaiyang Niu finished speaking, the waiting martial arts students' eyes lit up and they signed up enthusiastically.

Soon, ten people gathered.

In addition to Chu Mu, there was another old acquaintance, the tall and thin boy from Group 5.

When the ten people followed the Kaiyang Bull into the stadium, the tall and thin boy looked at Chu Mu, his eyes flickered slightly, and he came to Chu Mu inadvertently and spoke in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "How about cooperation in the next round?"

"Cooperation?" Chu Mu glanced at the tall and thin boy with a playful look on his face. "How do you want to cooperate?"

"I think you are a smart person. If we are divided into different groups, I hope I can cooperate with you." The tall and thin boy said slowly, "As long as the difference in strength is not too great, if the two groups cooperate secretly, there is a high probability that one of them will win."

"No matter which of us wins, the 16 tokens will be divided equally between the two of us." The tall and thin boy's eyes sparkled, "This way, we can earn six tokens in each round."

"There aren't many opportunities to earn a token of trust like this."

Chu Mu looked at the tall and thin boy in surprise, and then laughed, "It's indeed a good idea."

"Then you..." The tall and thin boy was delighted.

Although he was tricked by Chu Mu's operation in the previous round, this also made him recognize Chu Mu's ability.

If Chu Mu agrees to cooperate, the two of them should be able to earn dozens of tokens after some operations.

"But sorry, I'm not interested." Chu Mu shook his head.

"Why?" The tall and thin boy's expression fell, "Don't you think this is a good idea?"

Chu Mu smiled but said nothing.

This idea is feasible in theory, but it is only feasible in theory.

First of all, the others are not fools. Seeing that the two martial arts students participate in every round and cooperate secretly every time, they will naturally have a way to deal with it.

Or just form a short-term alliance like them.

Otherwise, give up the challenge here and choose other challenges.

No matter which response is adopted, it means that the benefits of doing so are only temporary, and can only bring small profits but cannot last long.

If that were all, Chu Mu wouldn't mind getting involved.

But the tall and thin boy overlooked a very important issue.

That means the re-screening has just begun.

It can be said that the first thing that more than 90% of the candidates do after landing is to find the zodiac challenge point closest to them and understand the situation.

Therefore, more and more martial arts students will gather here in the future.

In this case, the two fat sheep who have always been able to earn tokens will really become lambs to be slaughtered.

It is only right to accept it when it is good.

After entering the stadium, Kaiyang Niu reintroduced the rules and then began to randomly form teams.

This time, Chu Mu’s teammate was a boy in the Nayuan realm.

"Boss, please take me flying!"

The boy immediately showed a look of joy. With the help of a Tengkong Realm master who had participated in the challenge in the previous round, he might have a chance to win.

Chu Mu looked at his teammate with a complicated expression and patted him on the shoulder, "Sorry, brother, you are going to lose this game."

Nayuan Realm had no chance of winning, so he didn't need to feel any guilt.

After saying that, Chu Mu stepped off the lawn and walked towards a small open door on the other side of the playground.

This small door is opened after the random team results appear.

In the last round, Chu Mu discovered its existence.

An interesting point is that this small door will close the moment the challenge ends and the winner is determined.

That is to say, only the first three groups to be eliminated have time to enter this small door. The group that wins 16 tokens and the group that is eliminated last cannot enter this small door in the current round.

With this discovery, Chu Mu made a bold guess as to where the small door led to.

Now, it's time to verify this conjecture.

"Hey? What are you doing there?!" The boy who was matched with Chu Mu couldn't help but shout, and his voice also attracted the attention of several others.

The tall and thin boy in the front group No. 5 saw Chu Mu's actions and his pupils shrank slightly.

Do you want to follow in?
There was an expression of struggle on his face. After a moment, he gritted his teeth and stood there without moving.

He lost two tokens in the last round, so he had to win at least once.

Watching Chu Mu disappear through the small door, Kaiyang Niu retracted his gaze and said with a smile, "Two minutes are up, the challenge begins."
-
"Susu~"

In the dense forest, in a very hidden tree hole, a figure walked out calmly.

Chu Mu glanced at the lamppost in the distance and smiled.

He guessed correctly. Behind the small door was a safe secret passage that led directly to the outside of the safe zone, avoiding being blocked by powerful people who coveted him.

Although he lost two tokens, he still made a profit by leaving the Zodiac Challenge Point safely.

What's more, if the teammates are not good enough, the chances of winning the second round are not high.

"Although the Kaiyang Bull challenge is interesting, the risk is not low." Chu Mu muttered to himself, "If you want to ensure your winning rate, you either have teammates who can keep up every round, or you have the suppression power like Song Yan."

“I don’t have these two points.”

"What's more, the re-screening has just begun." Chu Mu's eyes flashed with anticipation, "I have to see other challenges as well."

"Go to the next place!"

Chu Mu chose a direction far away from Yang Niu, restrained his breath to the extreme, and passed through the dense forest silently like a puff of smoke.

"what?"

After walking for about ten kilometers, Chu Mu lowered his body and quietly hid behind the trunk of a big tree that was so thick that two people could hug it, looking at a person who was coming towards him.

Chu Mu had some impression that the boy who was coming towards him was from Longquan Province like him. His name was You Meng and his strength was only at the Nayuan level.

You Meng did not notice Chu Mu's spying. Looking at the direction he was heading, it was the direction of Kaiyang Niu.

Chu Mu hesitated for only a moment and then walked out from behind the tree trunk.

The sudden movement startled You Meng, and he immediately drew the sword from his waist, but after seeing Mu's appearance clearly, a hint of complexity appeared on his face.

"I know you, your name is Chu Mu." You Meng tightly grasped his sword, "We are all from Longquan Province, do you want to steal my token too?"

"Also?" Chu Mu looked at You Meng, "You've been robbed?"

Looking closely, he found that You Meng's face was bruised and swollen, as if he had been beaten up.

"Yeah." You Meng looked somewhat helpless, "I encountered two people from the Nayuan realm who were traveling together, and they stole six tokens from me."

"I only have four left." You Meng gritted his teeth, "If you want them, take them all!"

"No need." Chu Mu shook his head with amusement, "You also said that we are both from Longquan Province, why would I rob you?"

"What about you?" You Meng was surprised and delighted, but also a little confused. He didn't know what else Chu Mu wanted from him except to snatch the token.

"I'm just reminding you, that's Kaiyang Bull over there." Chu Mu pointed to the lamppost corresponding to Kaiyang Bull, "His challenge is related to strength, and there is basically no hope of winning in the Nayuan Realm."

"Kaiyang Niu..." You Meng was silent.

He gritted his teeth and moved forward, wanting to try his luck at the nearest challenge point, but received such bad news.

"Thank you for your reminder." You Meng said softly, "You know the rules of his challenge, so you should have participated, right? Even you lost?"

"No, I won." Chu Mu smiled, "So I plan to go to the second zodiac challenge point to have a look."

"However, I haven't seen the second challenge point yet."

You Meng was silent again, as if he was digesting the news that Chu Mu had won. However, after hearing the second half of the sentence, he suddenly said, "I know!"

"I know the location of another zodiac challenge point."

He looked at Chu Mu and said seriously, "The starship I was on was probably not the same as yours. Before parachuting to the ground, we passed another lamp post, but my landing point was closer to Kaiyangniu."

"Hmm?" Chu Mu's eyes lit up.

I didn't expect that my momentary compassion would be rewarded.

"That direction." You Meng pointed in a certain direction, "About thirty kilometers ahead, you should be able to see the lamppost yourself."

"But..." You Meng felt a little embarrassed, "I don't know what the zodiac sign of that challenge point is."

"It's okay. Knowing the location is enough." Chu Mu patted You Meng with a smile. "Be careful. I'm leaving."

After saying that, Chu Mu's figure flashed like a ghost and he quickly went in the direction You Meng pointed.

You Meng watched Chu Mu leave and muttered to himself, "Come on."

In school, he is also one of the top students in the school and is always among the top three in the grade. However, when he really comes into contact with other martial arts students, he realizes that there are always people better than you.

He no longer had any hope of passing this re-screening.

Now he just hopes that more of his fellow villagers can pass, so that after the re-screening, he will have more to talk about when he returns to his school.

On the other side, Chu Mu used all his strength to perform the Floating Cloud Step. The scenery around him rapidly retreated, and a flash of red light could be vaguely seen in front of him.

You Meng did not lie, it is indeed a new zodiac challenge point.

There was a flash of excitement in Chu Mu's eyes. He was about to speed up when he suddenly seemed to realize something and looked to the side.

The next moment, his expression became a little strange.

Not far from him, two Nayuan Realm martial artists were standing in front and behind, blocking the other martial artist's way.

The boy who was blocked was also at the Nayuan realm, and his face looked extremely ugly.

Soon, the three of them started fighting. With the joint efforts of the two opponents, the boy who was blocked was defeated step by step and was in a very embarrassing situation.

Chu Mu quietly hid behind a tree trunk, looking thoughtful.

Two people, Nayuan realm.

It's not such a coincidence that I ran into two robbers, right?
Just one update tonight, and three updates tomorrow!
