I practice cultivation cautiously in a strange world

Chen Lin showed the invitation letter and successfully entered the Grand Theater.

Here, he saw many participants, but most of them were in the form of animals or plants, and some were completely illogical and weird, and there were basically no humanoid ones.

However, this is also in line with the style of the nightmare world. The more powerful the creature, the more inexplicable its appearance.

"This friend is very cool. Could he be a new resident of Fairy Tale Town?"

Chen Lin followed the crowd and a cuphead creature next to him glanced at him and asked curiously.

"I'm from the Mushroom Cottage. I'm here on behalf of Lady Lilia. What do you call me?"

Seeing that the other party took the initiative to say hello and showed no signs of violating the rules, Chen Lin's eyes flashed and he answered.

I just took the opportunity to get some information about Lilia.

"Lilia, hehe, then you have to ask for blessings."

Upon hearing Lilia's name, Cuphead smiled, walked a few steps quickly, and distanced himself from Chen Lin.

Chen Lin's heart sank when he saw this.

Judging from the other party's reaction, Lilia is definitely not weak among the residents of Fairy Tale Town, and her character is not that good.

At this time, he suddenly remembered something, looked around, and came to a duck-like creature.

The other person looked sad and listless.

"Chen Lin, I don't know how to call my friend?"

The duck-like creature glanced at Chen Lin and said in a childish girl's voice: "My name is Bluwa. I'm in a bad mood right now. Ignore me."

"oh?"

Chen Lin looked puzzled and said: "Why are you in a bad mood? Is it because you are not sure about the competition?"

"This crappy competition has been held for so many times, and the stories have almost been told. There are no new stories to tell."

Bluwa was filled with resentment.

Chen Lin raised his eyebrows and said: "There is no requirement to tell a new story, and the audience is different in each issue, right? As long as the story is attractive enough, isn't it enough?"

"Who said the audience is different every issue?"

Bluva looked at Chen Lin, and then asked doubtfully: "I've never seen you before. Isn't this your first time participating in the story contest?"

"Yes, I am a tourist who wandered into this place by mistake."

"real?"

Bluwa's eyes lit up.

Then he stared at Chen Lin expectantly and said, "Then you must know a lot of new fairy tales. Can you lend me a story?"

"no problem!"

Chen Lin behaved very generously.

But before Bulova could be happy, he changed the topic again and said: "But I just came here, and I was inexplicably drawn to participate in the story contest. I don't understand many things. You can help me clear up my doubts first. For a moment?"

Blue rolled his eyes and said: "Okay, you can tell me what you want to know first, but I must explain first that I may not be able to answer all the questions you asked, and I can only answer three of your questions. After all, I don't know yet. Is your story compelling?”

Three questions are enough.

Chen Lin looked around. They were still standing not far from the entrance. Strange creatures were passing by sparsely, but no one was following them.

So he asked: "I want to know, if you participate in the competition on behalf of someone else, and if you get a reward, will the ticket belong to the contestant or the person who was replaced?"

This question is critical.

But he couldn't ask Lilia, so he kept it in his heart. It was for this reason that he took the risk and took the initiative to communicate with someone.

Bluwa looked at Chen Lin with a look of surprise.

"I asked why there was a new person coming to Fairy Tale Town at this time. It turned out to be a scapegoat who was brought in. But if you can find a replacement, it must be a senior resident. Let me guess who it is. It won't be that hateful guy Lilia. Bar!"

Chen Lin changed his expression, but immediately covered it up and remained silent.

Bluwa immediately sneered when she saw this.

"It's really that Lilia guy. That's so miserable. The golden invitation letter has the authority to find someone to replace you, and the rewards obtained belong to the owner of the invitation letter. But if you fail, you will have to bear the punishment, regardless of your No matter how bad the ranking is, the other party only needs to pay a gold nightmare coin."

Chen Lin's face looked really ugly now.

He has no share in the reward, but he has to bear the punishment. This is really worse than being taken advantage of.

Moreover, even the lowest penalty of a gold nightmare coin was defrauded from him by the other party.

The other party doesn't have to pay anything, just sit on the Diaoyutai!

But Chen Lin was not angry.

After practicing for more than two thousand years, he has already seen through the nature of the cultivation world. The weak eats the strong. If you can't resist, you can only endure. Getting angry can't solve any problems.

Without wasting time, he immediately asked in a deep voice: "Is there no solution? And as a contestant, you only have to pay without getting anything in return. Doesn't this seem to be in line with the rules of the Nightmare Law?"

Judging from the tone of the other party, it seems that he is not very friendly with that Lilia. Perhaps he can learn more information from the other party's mouth.

"Haha, why doesn't this comply with the rules of Nightmare?"

"Participation cannot be forced. If you don't agree, you can refuse. The other party will not take any adverse action against you, and the invitation letter cannot contact you. But since you have agreed, you can no longer complain."

Speaking of this, Bulova rolled her duck eyes again.

Then he looked around and changed his voice to say: "I know, you must have been deceived by that bad woman Lilia. I will give you an idea. If you get a reward, just announce it and give it to the audience. In this way, although You still get nothing, but you get a good reputation.”

When Chen Lin heard this, he secretly thought that his guess was good. There was definitely a conflict between this Bluwa and Lilia.

Even such an idea that harms others and does not benefit one's own self must not be spoken out unless it is an enemy. .

So it's not credible.

The other party is not helping him, but just using him to deal with Lilia. His life and death will not be considered by the other party.

But no matter what, the information still needs to be found.

Thinking of this, he echoed the other person and said: "Thank you for your help, but I haven't completed the task of leaving. Once I anger Lilia and I can't leave directly, won't the end be miserable?"

"That's it."

Bluwa's eyes showed disappointment.

"Then there's nothing I can do about it. It's up to you."

After a pause, he added: "Unless you can win first place and get the list of rewards that the contestants receive directly, but the first place in every competition belongs to the fairy tale king, you have no hope. "

"Okay, I've already answered your questions. Give me your story, but don't use a patchwork of things to deal with it, otherwise you will have another enemy!"

Chen Lin nodded.

Bluwa's answer made him understand that Lilia did not lie about leaving the mission.

If you get first place, you do get permission to leave.

But the other party probably didn't think he had the possibility of winning first place, so he didn't care at all.

"Who is the Fairy Tale King? Is the first place always given to him?"

If you are not in desperate situation, you must fight for it. Chen Lin continued to ask.

"Hmph, what do you mean? I've already answered the three questions and you're still nagging. Do you think I'm easier to bully than Lilia?"

"Don't get me wrong, I didn't mean it."

Chen Lin looked indifferent.

Then he said: "The enemy of your enemy is your friend. If I survive, I can help you deal with that Lilia, right?"

Bluwa's anger subsided.

He immediately shook his head again.

"The Fairy Tale King has won the championship ninety-nine times in a row. Although he is not a fixed number one, no one has ever been able to defeat him. This time he wants to win a hundred consecutive championships. The story he has prepared must be the best. You will definitely He will not be his opponent."

Failing to achieve her goal, Bulova also lost interest in talking to Chen Lin.

After looking at the entrance, most of the contestants had already entered, so he urged again: "The time is almost up, please give me the story quickly and I will compare it to see if it can be used!"

Hearing this, Chen Lin took out a Jade Slip from the Nightmare Realm collected at the Food Island.

After pondering for a while, my mind moved and I entered the story of the ugly duckling into it.

The appearance of this Bluwa is that of a gray duck, which matches the story very well. Moreover, he only remembers a rough outline of the story. Its completeness cannot be compared with Snow White, and it will not affect his ranking.

Sure enough, Bulua took the jade slip and looked at it with a look of surprise on her face.

"Okay, okay, okay!"

She gave three "likes" in a row, showing Bulova's excitement.

Then he looked at Chen Lin and asked, "Did you make up this story, or was it obtained by you? Can it be widely spread?"

Chen Lin was startled when he heard this, and immediately said: "I didn't write it, and it has been widely circulated. Why, will this affect the ranking of the competition?"

"certainly!"

Bluva answered in the affirmative.

Then he didn't forget to provoke, saying: "Didn't that bad woman Lilia even tell you this? She just wants you to die. She's so cruel!"

After saying that, he frowned again.

"No, the story you gave me is incomplete. Hurry, hurry, fill it all in. This will affect the judgment of the spread."

"I can't remember the details. You need to fill it in yourself. And I heard that the rankings in the story competition are not judged based on the satisfaction of the children in the world. What does dissemination mean?"

"Of course there must be restrictions on the spread, and it's also very important. You can't remember all the stories no matter how hard you remember them."

Bluwa was immediately anxious when she heard that Chen Lin did not remember the complete story.

Then he added: "If we only use children's satisfaction to rank, wouldn't all the participating stories be content to please children? There are even random promises of benefits. Before there is no limit on dissemination, the story contest is just flattering. Contest.”

"So the rules have been changed a long time ago. Stories participating in the competition must have a certain degree of popularity and be well received. Stories that have no popularity at all will not be able to get high scores even if all the viewers are satisfied."

At this point, she snorted.

"Lilia, that bad woman, really doesn't treat you as a human being. She just wants to turn you into a wandering puppet. She's so vicious!"

Chen Lin ignored the other party's provocative words.

Frowning, he asked: "How to judge the degree of communication?"

The story he prepared came from the earth, and it has little spread in the nightmare world. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is zero.

"You don't need to worry about it. The Fairy Tale Theater is very magical. It can sense anything related to fairy tales in any interface, and there will never be any misjudgment."

"Can it really be sensed by any interface?"

Chen Lin expressed disbelief and felt that things had deviated from his plan.

He understood what the other party meant. The Nightmare World was formed by projecting all the heavens and worlds, so it was connected to all interfaces. However, he had never seen anything related to the earth in any Nightmare World scene.

Coupled with the special nature of his soul, he has always suspected that the earth and this world are not in the same universe.

If this was the case, then he would have to consider telling a different story.

If Snow White is judged to have no popularity, then he might end up in the bottom ten. He might as well choose a story from the Tianxuan World at random.

"What are you doing? The competition is about to start. If you don't enter, it will be treated as a forfeit!"

An owl flew in from the entrance, and when he saw Chen Lin and Bulua still chatting, he immediately scolded them.

"It turns out to be Lady Sheila, let's go in now!"

Bluva stuck out her tongue, stopped talking to Chen Lin, walked away quickly and walked inside.

When Chen Lin saw this, he could only follow.

Owl glanced at Chen Lin and recognized his identity, but said nothing.

Passing through the passage at the entrance, Chen Lin's eyes widened, and a beautiful hall appeared in his sight. At the end of the hall, there was a huge stage, and facing the stage were rows of seats. , a visual estimate of at least more than 10,000.

Such a display made Chen Lin extremely confused.

Storytelling cannot be done on such a big stage. Is it possible to turn the story into a drama first and then perform it?

There are so many seats.

Doesn’t it mean that the audience is children from all over the world, and the story is presented to them in the form of projected dreams? Who should use these auditoriums?

But he didn't have time to think about this now.

He had to decide quickly whether to use the Snow White story.

If you press the button to sense the earth in the nightmare world, then this story is naturally the best, but if you can't sense it...

Chen Lin was in trouble.

After much thought, I decided to take a gamble.

It was too late to change the story now. After he traveled through time, he had never paid attention to the fairy tales in this world. He didn't expect that in a complete world with practitioners, there would be no amazing fairy tales.

We can only continue to follow the previous plan.

Just as I was thinking about it, a puppet dressed as a maid came over.

"Dear contestants, please follow me to the Story Hall to prepare."

Chen Lin nodded, and then asked tentatively: "This is my first time competing. Can you tell me the specific entry process?"

"OK."

The puppet paused and answered mechanically: "You need to go to the story hall to draw a number plate, and then just wait. When you arrive, someone will take you into the studio. When the time comes, the story you tell will be dramatized. The form automatically appears on the stage.”

I see.

Chen Lin suddenly realized.

Then he asked: "What about the audience? Who are the seats in all these seats?"

But this time the maid puppet didn't answer.

It seemed that the other party's answer authority was also set. Chen Lin also suspected that this slave puppet was also transformed by the loser of the competition.

So he stopped asking and followed the other person to the side.
