Chapter 401: Personnel Changes

“Brother Hachikuju, how did you come up with this idea for the ticket prices? It seems like a money-making scheme.”

Zhang Mu observed the orderly crowd lining up to pay and receive tickets, and asked with a click of his tongue.

Hachikuju smiled mysteriously, cleared his throat, and said.

“It’s nothing special. There are a few people in the city who used to work in marketing, and some were in charge of ticketing at the football stadium. They are very adept at understanding human nature, so this project was a collaboration among them.

By differentiating ticket prices based on seating areas for people with different income levels, we simply replaced regular money with elemental crystals. Even if we don’t secure the position of Capital City Lord, we can still generate substantial revenue from ticket sales. As you saw last time, just ten thousand elemental crystals can get us the protection of the Guardians for you. The minimum income from ticket sales is fifteen thousand, which would tempt anyone.

With the presence of special evolvers who possess unique abilities, it’s like watching a high-quality movie. Also, due to the seating arrangement, the ticket prices are generally affordable for people.

Though our ultimate goal is to compete for the position of Capital City Lord, the Four Wolf Cavalry’s trials and final objective are to eliminate the surrounding zombie hordes and mutant beasts, and reclaim the unexplored wilderness, serving as a form of support.

Therefore, the public, driven by both curiosity and a sense of security, tend to purchase tickets they can afford. It’s seen as an opportunity for leisure and relaxation to witness a match they’ve never seen before.”

Watching how Hachikuju looked with great interest, Zhang Mu found the special evolvers he mentioned intriguing, thinking they might be related to the people in his memories but were being underestimated. He then asked with a smile.

“Could those special evolvers be the ones who can transmit images of your battles to the center of this field, acting like the large projection screens we had before?”

Hearing Zhang Mu describe the evolver’s abilities so accurately, Hachikuju’s eyes widened.

“Zhang Mu, have you seen these mirror evolvers before? It might be possible. There are six of these life-type evolvers in the Inner Mongolia capital alone, given that you came from Central Plains, you might have seen them.”

Before Zhang Mu could respond, Hachikuju had a realization. However, this time, he was mistaken. If it was indeed the mirror evolvers he spoke of, they were only found in the Inner Mongolia capital throughout the whole country.

Those individuals were true treasures because of their unique mirror abilities, which allowed them to observe a place through mirrors, monitoring every movement of the observed party constantly.

Despite the extraordinary ability, it had its limitations. In the current second-rank state, the evolvers were restricted, for instance, unable to observe a single person on their own but only able to remember the presence of a group of people, observing from a God-like perspective.

The second issue was that these evolvers were opposite to ordinary evolvers. While regular evolvers grew stronger after awakening their abilities, these individuals, due to the special nature of their powers, had to sacrifice their vitality as a price, experiencing premature aging.

“Brother Hachikuju, how much do you pay these mirror evolvers as their wages?”

Zhang Mu suddenly said something that puzzled Hachikuju. After thinking for a while, he said uncertainly.

“They are all second-rank life evolvers. The event should continue until it ends, each person gets a few hundred elemental crystals.”

“Zhang Mu, why are you asking about this?”

“It’s nothing, just curious. A few hundred elemental crystals, tsk tsk tsk.”

Zhang Mu raised his head thoughtfully and looked at the huge screen in the center with a hint of regret in his eyes.

The current group of second-rank mirror evolvers probably do not know how big the price they have to pay is, otherwise they would not easily agree to a few hundred elemental crystals.

However, their perspective is limited now. Earning a few hundred elemental crystals for a few days’ work is already good for them. Besides, they are life evolvers, and at this point in time, the importance of life evolvers is far less than that of combat evolvers.

Zhang Mu didn’t want to correct anything. He could only silently contemplate and wait for everyone to arrive.

Before long, the leaders of the four battle riders all appeared.

Four groups of knights formed a huge square, and the ten-person teams participating in the individual battles slowly walked out from among the knights, this time they did not merge in pairs, clear distinction between them.

When the huge screen displayed a scene of forty second-rank evolvers, including the four Sub City Lords, the previously bustling stands suddenly fell silent.

These four faces were familiar and very impressive.

Zhang Mu looked at the three other evolver teams, furrowed his brow slightly, and standing to the left of Hachikuju, he whispered, “Brother Hachikuju, your information is inaccurate, the other side has changed players.”

Hachikuju also noticed this, the Qizilbash guild seemed to know everything about them, all of them were Sword Shield Soldiers in his knights, all newly promoted to the second rank.

Although these nine Sword Shield Cavalries had ordinary awakening abilities, their strength lay in their consistency, born and raised in the same knight, having fought countless battles together, their coordination was amazing, far better than their forcibly assembled teams.

The problem arose within the camps of Su Rui and Huang Yan, where two new faces appeared, contrary to what Uncle Peng had previously calculated, and these two stood closest to Su Rui and Huang Yan, indicating their great power.

“I know the newcomer on Su Rui’s side, the man with long green hair is Ai Qingxuan.

His awakening ability is lightning-based, I haven’t seen him use his full strength yet, but this person used to be a freeman in Hohhot City, usually very arrogant, so why would he come here to help Su Rui?”

“Asked for help from outside.”

In the serious atmosphere, Uncle Peng ignored it and took a sip from his military flask without a care in the world, and said slowly.

“This time they really went all out, even inviting Ai Qingxuan for support, but the new person Huang Yan replaced with, I really have no records of here, maybe he’s in disguise.

Or maybe, this second-rank revolver, truly never appeared in the main city in Inner Mongolia before.”

The screen shifted to Su Rui’s gentle smiling face, and the audience in the stands immediately became excited, especially the young women, who were extremely passionate.

Not to mention anything else, Su Rui’s personal charm is really strong.

If the position of Capital City Lord is decided by the citizens’ votes, then Su Rui’s popularity could completely overshadow the other three candidates.

After all, a refined young gentleman standing next to two rough men and an old man, the contrast was stark.

At this moment, a voice resonated from above the entire building, silencing the tens of thousands of voices instantly.

Look at the intensity and coverage area, this person is a strong second-rank in the sound wave system.

“Everyone, the battle for Capital City Lord is about to begin.”
