156: Chapter 156 Waiting for Forty Hours

"Why has no one made a move yet?"

The Branch President was a bit perplexed.

Most Transcendents were unwilling to handle the various minor chores of the Hero Association during normal times.

As the public-facing leader of the G District Hero Association, the Branch President had also been selected from among those without Special Abilities.

Ultimately, only those without Special Abilities knew how to manage those without Special Abilities.

The Branch President believed he had a firm grasp on the mindset of the general public and agreed wholeheartedly with Wang Puchuan.

With laws rendered ineffective and so many people gathered together, it wouldn't take long for the situation to spiral out of control.

However, the chaotic scenes he had anticipated were slow to materialize.

On the contrary, it was abnormally orderly.

So much so that the viewers watching the live stream were clamoring about how boring it was.

"I didn't come here to watch a guided spring outing! I want to see rivers of blood!"

"Where is Freezing Man? What about Gravity Man? Where did all those criminals go?"

Watching the surveillance data feed, Wan Chaoren appeared even more impatient:

"Doesn't Prison City still have some criminals left? Hurry up and send them in too."

He had originally wanted to wait until the number of live stream viewers increased and his own Special Ability was enhanced before going to personally finish off Chen Moxuan.

But if things continued like this, let alone an increase in viewers, the numbers would likely be even more dismal than at the start.

To this, the Branch President replied with a bitter smile:

"Those eleven people are all that were willing to come out in exchange for early release and freedom."

Prison City only detained B-Rank and A-Rank Transcendent criminals, and Transcendents of this Rank were not exactly common commodities.

Furthermore, the Transcendent Management Act was actually quite lenient toward Transcendents.

As long as their offenses didn't cause extremely severe consequences, they were usually not stripped of their Transcendent status or reduced to criminals.

Over the years, the G District Prison City now only held about forty-odd Transcendents.

Among them, those who listened to the conditions offered by the Hero Association and agreed to participate in this event...

...including Giant-Multiplier Man, who was casually finished off by Chen Moxuan right at the start, totaled only eleven people.

"Then take those scum prisoners, the unruly people detained in various places, and the dregs who ranked last in every city in G District..."

"Make them join the event now!"

Wan Chaoren demanded impatiently,

"No matter what, just get those live stream numbers up for me!"

"Lao Ge, don't be so anxious."

Wang Puchuan remained unhurried, speaking in a slow, leisurely manner.

"Those are procedures for after the Continental Carnival officially begins. If we throw them all in now, there won't be anything left to play with later."

"Perhaps, just as you said before, after throwing all those criminals in, this group has figured out the rules of the event and has become more composed."

In reality, the outbreak of chaos often stems from the instigation and agitation of a small minority within a crowd.

And from the very beginning, Chen Moxuan had precisely nipped these potential seeds of chaos in the bud, which was what created the current situation.

Looking just at the drone footage, Chen Moxuan's Spiritual Sense pressure was not only untraceable but arrived in an instant.

Those who harbored thoughts of attack lost consciousness and collapsed to the ground before they even understood what was happening.

And those streamers responsible for controlling individual drones had no idea what was going on.

They only noticed some people convulsing and fainting, assuming it was heatstroke caused by the overcrowding.

Not to mention the command center; they had to capture multiple live feeds simultaneously and focus on controlling the overall situation of the broadcast, so it was naturally even harder for them to notice the clues.

Precisely because of this, Wang Puchuan didn't associate the calm scene before him with Chen Moxuan at all.

He merely assumed that this batch of participants had a higher quality.

"They probably know that now is not the time to make trouble. Since someone is farming points for them, they are just quietly developing and accumulating points."

"Ultimately, this is just a warm-up event, and the live stream is only being held within G District, so their satisfaction doesn't have much of an impact."

"We still need to focus our main energy on the upcoming national broadcast to ensure the big shots of the Superpower Association are satisfied. Outperforming the events held by other regional Hero Associations in the past is the most important thing."

Wang Puchuan said with a solemn expression.

"Are we just going to let him keep jumping around like this? Who knows what kind of trouble he'll cause once the national broadcast starts!"

Seeing Wan Chaoren's face turn livid, Wang Puchuan knew that if he didn't say something, the other man would likely fly into a rage on the spot:

"Those weapons require quite a lot of points, and currently, these people can only farm ten points an hour."

"Once they have enough points to exchange for powerful weapons, someone will surely be unable to restrain themselves."

"And at this rate, if someone farms nonstop all day... forty hours later, which is about when the Continental Carnival officially begins, we will be able to meet the minimum point requirement to summon you, Lao Ge, to fight for five minutes, provided we don't change the rules that have already been reported..."

"Are you saying I still have to wait forty hours?"

Wan Chaoren's brows furrowed tightly, and his voice involuntarily raised by several decibels.

"Uh, that guy is inside and can't run away."

"If you are worried about that guy pulling some tricks during the national broadcast... in the first few minutes of the Continental Carnival, besides you, Lao Ge, other A-Rank Heroes can also enter the field, and it won't take long to deal with him."

"Or is it that you, Lao Ge, have some other concerns?"

Wang Puchuan asked, puzzled.

Although they didn't know exactly how strong Chen Moxuan was, no matter how strong he was, how strong could he really be?

A-Rank Transcendents and A-Rank Heroes were two different concepts.

The assessment of A-Rank Transcendents was based on a comprehensive consideration of their Special Abilities, while the assessment of A-Rank Heroes was based solely on combat power.

Moreover, the strength of those A-Rank criminals was far from what it used to be, and they were far inferior to A-Rank Heroes.

Once multiple A-Rank Heroes with powerful combat-oriented Special Abilities fought together, complementing each other, the resulting combat power would be terrifying.

Furthermore, when the national broadcast officially began, Wan Chaoren's Special Ability would receive an unprecedented boost.

With Chen Moxuan's location being tracked in real-time, it might not even take a minute to deal with him.

What could he possibly do in such a short time?

It could only be said that there must be something hidden behind Wan Chaoren's eagerness to kill him.

"If you have other concerns, we could secretly let some people summon other A-Rank Heroes, so we wouldn't have to wait forty hours..."

Wan Chaoren interrupted Wang Puchuan:

"I must be the one to crush him to death with my own hands!"

"The moment the event begins, arrange for personnel in advance to summon me directly to that guy's side."

He already knew that Chen Moxuan had instantly killed his younger brother, the B-Rank number one, Explosive Flame King.

Coupled with the fact that he now knew Chen Moxuan could quickly kill multiple Transcendent criminals, including A-Ranks.

The opponent undoubtedly possessed the combat power of an A-Rank Hero.

If he let other A-Rank Heroes go, once Chen Moxuan killed that A-Rank Hero and exposed the fact that he was unaffected by the tracking mark...

With so many people watching, the opponent's identity as an Other-Soul Being would definitely be exposed without a doubt.

Given the importance the Superpower Association placed on Other-Soul Beings, he would never have another chance to act against Chen Moxuan.

"At that time, I want the first image of the national broadcast to be focused on me."

Wan Chaoren left this statement behind and walked out of the command center.

After knowing he had to wait for such a long time, continuing to look at Chen Moxuan's face on the screen would only make him very irritable.
