Chapter 76 Indiscriminate Shrimp Head Technique (Please Subscribe 710)

Wow! !

The entire audience erupted in uproar!

The live stream chat exploded with excitement!
Although everyone was somewhat prepared, the moment the results were announced still brought a strong shock. Wang Xi, the dark horse, became the only examinee in this year's assessment to receive the "Professional Four-Star" certificate!
After all, even a captain of the Gucheng Defense Force is a five-star commander. Wang Xigang, having just passed the assessment, is already comparable to a deputy captain.

It is foreseeable that he will become the most dazzling star in the near future. Whether it is an official department, a private organization, or a conglomerate, most are willing to extend olive branches to him.

Perhaps, he will become a record-breaker in Gucheng's vocational skills assessment that will be difficult to surpass for a long time to come.

They will be remembered by the people of Gucheng.

Crackling!

The applause and discussions were deafening!

Click, click, click!

The camera drone's flash kept going off!

"Congratulations, Wang Xi."

The examiner, Spall, strode up to the black-haired youth and presented him with the prepared silver card, badge, and red notebook.

He smiled and then solemnly said:

"From now on, you and I are comrades-in-arms."

"Thank you."

Wang Xi returned a polite smile and accepted the items.

He pinned the badge to his chest and glanced at his own silver card. Besides his photo and name, it also had four gleaming gold five-pointed stars on the right side.

A professional four-star...

Wang Xi was also slightly surprised.

This assessment can be described as a debut at the peak. I've leaped to a stage that most professional warriors would have to work hard for many years to reach.

Some people may never achieve this in their entire lives.

He looked around.

Faced with the complex yet slightly admiring gazes of the contestants and Jiang Tianjie, the cheers of the surrounding crowd, and the cameras of dozens of drones...

Wang Xi grinned broadly.

At the same time, he gave a thumbs up.

...

After the awarding ceremony.

Wang Xi and the others did not leave.

According to procedure, they also need to give media interviews. This is an agreement between the various foundations and the Hero Association; since they've invested money, the association naturally can't refuse.

A conference room in the association building.

After some setup, the place was transformed into a temporary press conference venue.

Ten new generation professional warriors, including Wang Xi, sat on the stage, surrounded by hovering camera drones, while reporters from various media outlets took turns asking questions below the stage.

Yu Jiali and Carlisle, among others, showed no stage fright and remained calm and composed in front of the cameras and reporters' questions. Zhong Shuang, Ruan Cheng, and Ge Tian, however, appeared quite reserved and nervous.

After being bombarded by reporters.

Everyone was exhausted.

Soon, a female reporter from the Shining Consortium stood up and smiled at the black-haired young man sitting in the center, asking:
"Mr. Wang Xi, as the most dazzling dark horse of this year, you must be loved by the general public... well, especially by young women."

Can I ask you a few rather personal questions?

Wang Xi muttered to himself, "Shrimp-headed woman."

He glanced at the press pass on the woman's chest; the woman, who appeared to be in her late twenties, was named Fang Zi.

Wang Xi flashed his signature sunny, boyish smile again, but said:

"It's best not to ask."

"..."

The audience burst into laughter.

Female reporter Fang Zi was taken aback. Why wasn't this young man playing by the rules?

Hey, this is a live stream from Gucheng, with two million people watching. How can you be so disrespectful?
Fortunately, Fang Zi's professionalism was excellent. After a brief moment of surprise, she regained her sweet smile, covered her mouth and chuckled a few times, and then said:

"Hehe, Mr. Wang Xi, you're so funny."

"In this new era, a humorous personality is also an extremely attractive trait... So, the first question is, do you currently have a girlfriend?"

"..."

Wang Xi smiled and fell silent.

Good guy.

Is this what journalism studies is all about?
I told you not to ask, but you still have to!
But he also knew it was a live broadcast, and besides reporters from various media outlets, there were also a group of high-ranking officials from Gucheng in the audience. If he refused again, it would be difficult to back down.

"nothing now."

Wang Xi answered truthfully.

Fang Zi's eyes lit up, and she said again:

"Wow! It's great news for the young women of Gucheng that such a handsome and outstanding guy like you doesn't have a girlfriend!"

As she spoke, she turned to look at the camera, smiling with a theatrical air.

"Did you hear that, ladies? Mr. Wang Xi is currently single, so you'd better seize this opportunity!"

These words truly captivated the hearts of many girls watching the live stream.

A gentle breeze caressed their rosy cheeks, and a lowered gaze stirred their hearts. In the lens, how dazzling was that dark-haired youth? How could he not make their hearts flutter?

"Although the warriors are everyone's guardians, everyone must also be curious about what they're like on a daily basis..."

Fang Zi naturally steered the conversation back to the stage and turned to look at the stage again.

She asked with a smile:

"What are Mr. Wang Xi's hobbies?"

Hobby?

What are Wang Xineng's hobbies? What are his seven refined pursuits?

He pondered how to answer when suddenly a flash of inspiration struck him.

I am now quite famous, and as the female reporter said, I am indeed very popular.

But what about the renovation plan that has been formulated?
My goal is the stars and the sea, adventures in other worlds, how can I let this dazzling world blind me!

snort!
So why not take this opportunity to eat shrimp?

I'll also try out that long-forgotten idea that's been lingering in my mind.

If he could, he really wanted to meow like a cat in front of everyone present—

Amazing!

"Hobbies..." Wang Xi pretended to ponder, then smiled and said, "I love appreciating lanterns. I especially love appreciating large lanterns. Small lanterns and old lanterns are not so good; looking at too many of them will make me feel listless."

As he spoke, he glanced at the female reporter's chest.

Fang Zi's smile froze, her cheeks flushing. As the saying goes, a young girl's blush is more beautiful than any love letter, while an older woman's blush is more beautiful than any fine wine.

As for the female reporter, she only had high blood pressure. She almost had a brain hemorrhage and her brain split open on the spot.

No, Mr. Wang, what kind of occasion is this? Can't you be a little more mindful of your image?!
"Ahem." Even the experienced female reporter almost couldn't respond. "Enjoying...enjoying lanterns is wonderful! I didn't expect Mr. Wang Xi to have such refined tastes!"

She tried to smooth things over, chuckling as she spoke:
"I thought that a young and handsome guy like you would like to play games or something in your spare time."

"Of course I love playing games too."

Wang Xi gave her a strange look.

Then, with a rather rapt expression, he explained:

"I love playing Minesweeper the most. That feeling of eagerly wanting to uncover the cover but being too scared is really fascinating... Especially the moment when the truth is finally revealed, you feel like you're being elevated, and joy just bursts out."

As he spoke, he glanced at the female reporter's chest.

"Sweep, sweep mines, haha."

Fang Zi almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

At that moment, her CPU was running at full speed, and the water cooling system was leaking, seeping from her forehead. She was thinking about how to salvage this live broadcast mishap.

"What a retro game! It seems Mr. Wang Xi is quite nostalgic."

Fang Zi spoke very quickly, and hurriedly changed the subject:

"Mr. Wang Xi, as a new generation of professional warriors, you must have a good understanding of dungeons and disasters. Are there any monsters that make you feel pressured?"

Based on her past interview experience, no matter what monster Zhi Yong answered, she could always follow up with, "If such a monster were to appear again, would you be confident in dealing with it?"

Finally, it concluded successfully with hopes and encouragement.

"Slime".

Wang Xi said in a very serious tone.

He glanced at the female reporter's chest once again.

"..."

It’s not over, right? !

Fang Zi was suffocating.

In all her years in the industry, she had never felt so embarrassed. Facing that sunny, handsome young man, she felt as if she had encountered the most formidable enemy she had ever faced.

"Mr. Wang Xi is probably referring to the slime from the Spade Fairy Tale series, right? That kind of monster isn't the weakest..."

Fang Zi pretended to hesitate.

Wang Xi shook his head and said calmly:
"You're not brave, you don't understand."

"Okay, alright." Fang Zi was caught in a bind, unable to escape for the time being. At the same time, her CPU had already burned out, and she was rambling incoherently: "So, what does Mr. Wang Xi like to eat?"

Why do you have to ask me what we eat?
"Suck on jelly." Wang Xi pouted, then casually added, "And delicious meat buns too."

"..."

Fang Zi's computer crashed.

She listlessly said "Okay" and thanked Mr. Wang Xi for his reply. Then she plopped down in her chair, slumping so much that she couldn't get up again.

Shrimp head! It's such a damn shrimp head!
The female reporter's defeat left Wang Xi feeling secretly disappointed.

If the other person asks him what he likes to drink, he will definitely answer: COCo, Kawakami Auntie, Mixue.

The laughter from the audience lasted for a long time.

Some middle-aged leaders shook their heads with smiles, while some young men and women looked bewildered. As for Yu Jiali, Jiang Tianjie, and others on the same stage, they looked at Wang Xi with astonishment.

Seems to be saying.

I never expected you to be such a handsome guy!

Only a few naive girls like Ge Tian and Lin Xin'er still believed that Wang Xi was telling the truth.

Wang Xi remained calm and composed, as steady as Mount Tai.

Click, click...

A faint sound, so subtle that only he could hear it, rose from the depths of his heart.

"You lied."

Lies are spreading.

Experience Points +100

"..."

A series of continuous notifications popped up, and although Wang Xi was mentally prepared, he was still startled.

His guess was correct.

According to the description, the unique black card "Pinocchio's Heart" gains experience points by lying. The more people affected by the lie, the more experience points it gains.

He successfully fooled many residents of Gucheng through this live interview. A massive amount of experience points are continuously flowing in and accumulating in his mind!
Wang Xi was pleasantly surprised.

But soon, his surprise turned into apprehension.

Because he knew very well that so much feedback meant he would have to pay a considerable price!
Recalling the excruciating angina he experienced when he first used "Pinocchio's Heart," Wang Xi felt goosebumps all over his body and his hair stand on end.

He sat on the stage, a bright smile on his face.

Hehe, I must survive...

That's when.

"?!"

Wang Xi's smile instantly twisted, his heart seemed to stop, and then a terrifying pain shot through him.

His pupils contracted sharply, then his eyes rolled back, and he fell straight backward—

With a loud crash, the chair made a violent impact.

Boom! !

Everyone exclaimed.

"Wang Xi, what's wrong?!"

Yu Jiali quickly stepped over to check.

Wang Xi, clinging to his last breath, his face contorted in agony, gaped like a fish dying of thirst, and whispered:
