Fairy, shut up! I'm really not blondie.

Ji Lanxue herself, with just her face and dazzling dark gold hair, was enough to attract a lot of attention.

A beautiful woman is beautiful no matter where she goes.

They all receive preferential treatment.

but--

When such a stunning beauty, who seemed to have stepped out of an ancient costume drama, entered the council hall.

The look in everyone's eyes slowly changed.

after all.

The council chamber is not a place for playing around.

this.

Although it is very pleasing to the eye.

But could it be that they've turned this place into a playground?

Ji Lanxue ignored those gazes as if they were nothing.

I observed it attentively for a while.

The difference was discovered.

People came in through two different passages.

Although they were all wearing similar "short outfits".

But it's obvious.

The clothes worn by the group opposite them were made of much better fabric and were better tailored.

Everyone is more confident and determined.

There are men and women.

They were all whispering to each other.

There are quite a lot of people.

They have subtly split into several smaller teams.

Meanwhile, on Ji Lanxue's side...

Including her, there were only four people in total.

The other three were two men and one woman.

In terms of clothing and demeanor, he was far inferior to the people opposite him.

and.

It feels like this is my first time here.

His demeanor betrayed a hint of nervousness.

They didn't dare to say a word more than necessary.

Well.

Her Highness pondered for a moment.

If I were to give an example...

Those on the other side are entry-level disciples of major immortal sects.

The people around him were just unorthodox individuals who had come from who-knows-where.

Let's look at it using the rules of the mysterious realm at the bottom of the North Sea.

The person on the other side.

They must be the commander candidates sent by each of the five major families.

The fact that they formed small groups is probably due to their different family backgrounds.

And myself, and the people around me.

They are ordinary people who paid the registration fee to get in.

"Di-"

A notification sound was heard.

The door was closed.

On the high seat on the top floor.

A ring of afterimages appeared.

It's clear that they are all phantoms of people.

Although the person was there.

But the breath was gone.

Ji Lanxue narrowed her dark golden eyes.

Is it a projection of some kind of illusion?

"Now."

"Commander selection has officially begun."

The light mist in front of me suddenly thickened.

It spread to everyone.

The "illusion" on Ji Lanxue's wrist lit up.

that moment.

Several lines of large characters appeared before her eyes.

"You will have an army of one thousand men."

"Mission: Defend your town. The lower your casualty and attrition rates, the higher your score."

"One hour is allotted. Good luck."

The prompt has disappeared.

Then.

Ji Lanxue sat down as instructed.

I just sat down.

Ji Lanxue felt a cool sensation around her eyes.

It looked like something had been stuck on it.

Something was also tied to their limbs.

But the scene before them suddenly changed.

She became a "top-down perspective".

The Holy Maiden, who had no idea what "VR technology" was, took two deep breaths.

Only then did he suppress the urge to shatter the scattered fragments wrapped around him.

According to the rules here.

Look down.

in front of you.

It was none other than Levi City!

A sudden storm.

horizon.

The red light flashed.

Ji Lanxue looked over.

A "water mirror" automatically popped up.

The scene from that place was conveyed back.

The voices of doom are fiercely attacking the barrier.

Oh?

Ji Lanxue was a little excited.

That's quite convenient.

but.

Although everything in front of you looks very real.

But she knew.

Nothing here seems to possess any real signs of life.

In other words.

It's some kind of illusion.

Behind.

A thousand people.

Each person was equipped with standard weapons and carried communication equipment.

Ji Lanxue stared at the screen for a while.

Then she discovered something a little embarrassing: she couldn't understand any of those weapons or communication methods at all.

No.

Can't people here use realms to classify people?

What's the point of telling her about the weapons?

of course.

Ji Lanxue no longer had the opportunity to raise any objections.

One hour.

As she sank into this "illusion".

The assessment has already begun.

Meanwhile.

High up.

In front of that circle of illusory figures.

All of them displayed a screen the size of two heads.

It faithfully reflects the actions of a total of ten "commander candidates".

These phantoms—

now.

Everyone was sitting in their own homes.

The computer has a touchscreen.

They were all intently watching the performance of their own descendants.

of course.

We should also pay attention to the alternatives sent by our competitors.

Out of ten people.

Six of them belong to the five major families.
