He extended his hand, handed over a business card, and said, "This is my address in the Free City. If you have any troubles that you can't solve, you can come to me. Perhaps I can help you."

Xu Mu took it and asked, "What is this for? I am unknown and not worthy of your attention."

"This is my recognition and respect for you. I want to do a lot of things, and I need talented people to help me."

Xifeng sighed inexplicably.

He looked at Xu Mu again and said, "Canglan Bandit, you are a talented person. Perhaps in the future, we can reach some cooperation."

"what……"

"Goodbye."

Young Master Xifeng acted decisively. After giving his business card, he turned around and left without even asking Xu Mu's name or address.

Ouch.

He really looks like a man who can accomplish great things.

After that, another member of the regional competition committee came forward.

He introduced himself, and Xu Mu realized that he was actually the "Chairman"!

The chairman first congratulated Xu Mu on winning the championship, then handed him a trophy and a pair of golden shoulder armor. "Mr. Xu, this is the trophy and commemorative equipment for winning the regional championship. Congratulations!"

Xu Mu touched the golden shoulder armor and asked, "Pure gold?"

"...Gold-plated."

"Ah—gold plating is fine, at least it looks noble."

"Yes Yes……"

The chairman nodded randomly.

Winning the regional competition wasn't a big deal; it was just a qualifying round after all, and there wasn't an awards ceremony, but it was worthy of being in the newspapers.

The chairman glanced at Xu Mu and said, "Mr. Xu, we're going to take a photo in front of the reporters later. Do you think you need to hide your identity?"

"?"

what happened.

Is it important to hide your identity in your free city?

Seeing Xu Mu's silence, the committee member continued, "Mr. Xu, please rest assured. We know you might be wearing a mask for some unspeakable reason, so we've been protecting your identity. I'm sure you've noticed that we removed the security early on, and I came alone to present you with the award. Also, your disguise is incredibly good. I can't even tell you're such a master now. If I hadn't seen your impressive performance, I'd have thought you were just an ordinary person!"

“Ah…hahaha.”

Xu Mu laughed awkwardly.

Talking nonsense.

The King mode is terminated, the blood lock effect disappears, and the health value has been restored to full.

Now Xu Mu's attributes are only slightly stronger than those of ordinary people, and even a Tibetan Mastiff can kill him alone.

but.

The chairman's words served as a reminder to Xu Mu.

He is now the kind of person who can't play unless he is low on health. If he reveals his true identity, there will be all kinds of troubles, and it will be difficult to clear up the doubts of others.

"Ghost Warrior" is very special.

Without knowing the specific effects of this profession, it is difficult for others to target it.

if you can……

Xu Mu hoped that he was the only one who knew the characteristics of this profession.

Thinking of this, he nodded and said, "Xu Mu is Xu Mu, and the Blue Bandit is the Blue Bandit. If these two identities can be clearly distinguished, I will be very satisfied."

The chairman smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry. We've already modified your application form. Your identity information has been obscured. The only information publicly available is 'Blue Bandit'."

"So reliable!"

“Come on, put on your masks, and let’s go take pictures.”

Click click click.

The technology tree of the Blue Planet is very strange. The cameras in the hands of the reporters don't look much different from those on Earth, except that the plastic shell has been replaced with a metal shell.

After taking the photo, the chairman helped Xu Mu turn down all interview invitations and took the initiative to help Xu Mu express his determination.

After completing a series of procedures, it was already night.

The chairman personally drove Xu Mu home.

On the way, he said, "Canglan, are you exhausted? Have a good rest. I just received news that our city lord values ​​you very much! He asked us to give you a VIP card - it's inside."

He handed a bag of things on the dashboard to Xu Mu.

Xu Mu took it and opened it. He found that besides some documents, there was also a black card inside: "What is this?"

"You are familiar with the strongest duel gym, right? This card is the VIP card of the duel gym. You can use the best equipment in the gym for free."

Oh!

nice one.

But it didn't work.

Xu Mu asked again: "Why would the City Lord pay attention to me?"

The chairman lowered his voice and whispered, "I'm only telling you this: Canglan, it's been years since a player from our Free City has won the Adventurer's Cup. The City Lord watched the video of your match a while ago and was quite excited. If you win this time, you'll definitely be rich!"

Is there such a thing?

With the chairman's explanation, Xu Mu learned more.

As the oldest and most central landmark city here, the Free City is the symbol of the entire "Central Land".

But the embarrassing thing is——

It has been a long time since the players from the Free City had a brilliant performance in the Adventurer's Cup.

In the past fifteen editions, all were eliminated in the quarterfinals.

Naturally, the city lord was very upset about this and always hoped that a strong man would emerge.

This time, after watching the video, they immediately became excited.

"Wow! He's so strong!"

So he immediately made arrangements and gave Xu Mu attention as an encouragement.

In this regard.

Xu Mu's emotions were very stable.

He nodded and said, "I'm flattered."

The chairman smiled and continued, "There's some information in the file bag that will be helpful for your final competition. The final competition starts in five days, and I'll come to pick you up then. You should prepare well and get a good ranking, and bring honor to our Free City."

Xu Mu smiled and said, "Of course."

Chapter 35 #035 A thief broke in?!

"Comrade, you're back. What was the result? Needless to say, comrade, you must have won."

As soon as I entered the basement, the elf made a sound.

Xu Mu took off his equipment and put it back on the shelf. "It's a piece of cake. The regional competition wasn't very competitive, and no one who posed a threat to me showed up."

"I think so too."

Xu Mu sat at the workbench, opened the bag given to him by the committee member, took out the documents inside and started to read.

At first, he just wanted to take a look.

Are these things helpful?

Not necessarily!

But once he saw it, he quickly became focused and absorbed!

I have to say that the organizers are very capable.

The Holy Spirit Duel has been developed for so many years and is very perfect both on and off the field.

There are multiple cameras outside the venue broadcasting the event in real time. Although a "television set" is not affordable for ordinary people, large public places such as squares are equipped with crystal screens that can receive global signals through the magic network;

There are data monitoring equipment and experts in the field who can closely monitor the status of each player and analyze the results.

This result——

It's in place!

During the regional competition, Xu Mu was in good spirits at first, but gradually felt sluggish and tired.

If the "Ancient Castle Area" had not been designed to restore mental strength, and if his overall attributes had not been too high, he would have been eliminated long ago and would not have made it to the final arena match.

Before seeing the document "Cang Lan Bandit Data Report", Xu Mu just felt something was strange.

Now, Xu Mu has determined: he has a weakness.

Fast forward to the conclusion.

After a series of data, the analysis team wrote:

"Contestant No. 313, 'Blue Bandit,' is incredibly skilled. He won the championship without using any skills throughout the entire match, setting a new record since the regional tournament began. We doubt anyone will ever accomplish this feat again. His name has become a monument. Cheers, friends! We have witnessed history in the Adventurer's Cup Regional Tournament."

"But even this formidable competitor has a glaring flaw."

"The Blue Bandit's mental power is depleting too quickly. Perhaps it's the extra burden brought by his immense strength that's causing his mental power to decline extremely quickly. Even in a calm state, it's twice that of an average player. Once in combat, it peaks at ten times that of an average player. If this becomes a protracted battle, the Blue Bandit might not be able to sustain it."

"Throughout the entire match, the Blue Bandit consistently avoided combat, a point particularly evident in his battle for the keepsake with the 'Man in Black'. His response was undeniably brilliant, and we must acknowledge that the Blue Bandit is a player who uses his brain. However, judging by the combat prowess he subsequently displayed, why would he need to resort to strategy? The only plausible explanation is that he was aware of his own mental limitations, and therefore actively avoided combat."

"After that, the Blue Bandit engaged in battles with several contestants. However, in those battles, he always sought to end them as quickly as possible. I'm afraid this was also a helpless choice made due to the limitations of his mental strength."

"..."

"..."

There is some more analysis later, but it is not very critical.

The analysis that mental strength is declining rapidly is very correct.

But the speculation about the battle was extremely wrong.

But the analysts can’t be blamed.

If it weren't Xu Mu himself, he would also agree with the analysts' conclusion - after all, the logic is impeccable.

If you don't have enough mental strength, shouldn't you avoid fighting and fight quickly?

There's nothing wrong with it.

All I can say is that Xu Mu deceived everyone by accident.

Xu Mu looked at the other information again.

It was discovered that the other data was the analysis conclusions of the other seven regional champions - that is, other players participating in the main competition will also receive similar files?

Oh!

In this sense, this information is a perfect smokescreen.

Now everyone knows that the weakness of the "Blue Bandits" is that they cannot get into a protracted war?

Ok……

It seems like there is a way.

Xu Mu looked up at the ceiling and asked, "Elf, are you looking at me?"

"Ah, ah—well, comrade, I didn't mean to look. I just glanced at it casually."

"Give your opinion?"

Xu Mu pointed to the "Encyclopedia of Holy Spirit Duel" placed separately to the side and continued, "You should understand it better than me now."

The elf replied, "I think you have nothing to worry about, comrade. Once King Mode is activated, your mental strength is comparable to that of a true dragon and will not be easily depleted. This book states that the maximum duration of a Holy Spirit Duel Arena match is seventeen minutes. You can handle it."
