176: Chapter 176 I've Decided on You

"I am not doubting Lord Chen Moxuan's ability, but that is Wan Chaoren after all..."

For Mayor Ma, both Chen Moxuan and Wan Chaoren were behemoths he could not fathom.

Unlike ordinary citizens, Mayor Ma had secretly learned quite a few of Wan Chaoren's exploits over the years.

He knew clearly that he was a Monster who would slaughter an entire family at the slightest disagreement.

It was a common inherent flaw for Transcendent to look down on those without abilities, but among them, Wan Chaoren took this flaw to the extreme.

He did not know who would be stronger if Wan Chaoren and Chen Moxuan fought.

He only knew that if the two of them fought here, his own life might not survive the aftermath of the battle.

"G District Hero Association, I have always been diligent and conscientious toward you, why must you make things difficult for me..."

At first, Mayor Ma was even glad that the hidden tasks secretly arranged by the Hero Association had given him quite a few points.

Now, he somewhat felt like cursing.

Because of the situation created by Chen Moxuan, a large number of people could take turns sending the locations of Monsters to earn points without any risk.

Originally, the Hero Association had tacitly approved of this behavior, thinking that someone might cause trouble after redeeming powerful weapons with a large number of points.

But as time went on, seeing that there was no movement, the Hero Association temporarily patched it for the sake of balance.

They changed it from earning ten points for sending a location to one point.

The reason was that only one of the eleven Monsters present remained.

In order to allow someone to meet the conditions for summoning Wan Chaoren, the points rewarded for hidden tasks had increased accordingly.

Most of these tasks could be completed just by getting close to Chen Moxuan.

And Mayor Ma, who had completed every single one of these tasks, was currently the participant with the highest points.

However, even so, he was still short of a few points to meet the minimum condition for summoning Wan Chaoren.

Until the Hero Association recently issued him another hidden task, filling this gap.

The task required him to take a full-body photo of Chen Moxuan and upload it.

The reward for the task was exactly the points he lacked to meet the summoning condition.

It was calculated perfectly, not a single point more.

It is worth mentioning that the task also hinted to Mayor Ma that after receiving the point reward, he would meet the condition to summon Wan Chaoren for five minutes.

It especially emphasized that the points obtained from hero kills were counted toward the summoner.

It implied that summoning Wan Chaoren could help him harvest a large number of points.

To be safe, Wang Puchuan also set these points as time-limited points.

After fully connecting to the national broadcast, they would expire if not used within five minutes.

On the other end of the phone, Lv Ling saw Mayor Ma's doubts and said directly:

"It doesn't matter, as long as your faith is firm enough, the Mo God you believe in will surely keep you safe."

"Ah, this..." Mayor Ma's face showed bitterness.

They had compiled a unified myth for Chen Moxuan as the initial version of the Mo Sect scripture, and named Chen Moxuan's divine title 'Mo God'.

As one of the participants in this matter, could Mayor Ma not know whether this faith was useful or not, even if others didn't?

During this period, he had used this rhetoric many times to appease the public, and it worked every time.

Being used by Lv Ling to fob him off now, he was speechless.

But in reality, the Power Of Faith was indeed useful, and very useful at that.

It just had to meet multiple conditions.

First, it had to be something that did not exist in the material world.

For example, some kind of method using Mental Energy as energy, or an interdimensional creature from an illusory world.

Furthermore, this faith had to be strong enough, and the quantity had to be sufficient.

But the first condition was the most important.

Otherwise, no matter how much faith there was, without a way to use it, at best it might only make people feel refreshed.

In any case, Mayor Ma had to bite the bullet and go.

Seeing that the time given for him to hesitate was nearing its end, he took a deep breath and rushed into the elevator.

He pressed the button for the top floor and headed toward Chen Moxuan's location.

The area nearby had already been cleared; at this time, no one else would come here to take the elevator.

Mayor Ma soon reached the top floor.

As soon as the elevator door opened, the sharp young man sitting cross-legged came into view.

Chen Moxuan's Aura was terrifying at this moment, making Mayor Ma completely afraid to look directly at him; even his breathing involuntarily stagnated.

"Gulp."

Mayor Ma swallowed deeply, put on a fawning smile, and rubbed his hands as he said:

"Mo... Lord Chen Moxuan, I need to complete a task issued to me by the Continental Carnival, and I might need to take a photo of you..."

"I already know. Just do your thing."

Chen Moxuan said calmly with his eyes closed.

He was adjusting his Qi to reach the most perfect state.

"O-okay." Mayor Ma didn't dare to breathe loudly.

The sense of oppression from Chen Moxuan right now was simply too strong.

Just the slight leakage of his unconscious Aura was enough to make Mayor Ma, a man who had seen great storms in the officialdom, terrified.

He tremblingly took out his phone to take a full-body photo of Chen Moxuan and uploaded it to the System according to the task requirements.

The Hero Association also received the photo immediately.

"President, the previously arranged hidden task has been completed. We confirm that the person who completed the task is right next to that person named Chen Moxuan."

"Good, issue the time-limited points to him, and at the same time notify Wan Chaoren to get ready.

Also, tune all broadcast rooms to that side. It couldn't be more appropriate to have our district's most famous hero appear as the opening for the national broadcast."

The G District Hero Association's Branch President commanded methodically.

They were not worried that Mayor Ma would not perform the hero summon.

Besides the inducement in the task, the ten thousand points rewarded for killing Monsters in the previous hunting activity were still valid.

It was one thing if he had no ability, but once he could summon a powerful hero to fight...

Chen Moxuan was a walking ten thousand points; he didn't believe these people wouldn't covet them.

And even if Mayor Ma didn't summon, there were several other candidates nearby; one of them would eventually take the bait.

This was also one of the reasons why the Hero Association made the points time-limited, to give them enough time to adjust.

Of course, the Hero Association actually did not know that a religious group believing in Chen Moxuan had already secretly formed in C City.

After deciding to leave the warm-up activities alone, they had not paid any more attention to the situation in C City.

However, even if it wasn't for Chen Moxuan's hunting points, compelled by Lv Ling's instructions, Mayor Ma still needed to summon Wan Chaoren at this time.

The final result was no different.

After getting the points, Mayor Ma immediately exchanged for the reward in the Continental Carnival activity System's exchange mall.

The space before him fluctuated, and a red and white ball rolled to his feet.

Mayor Ma picked up the ball and saw the usage instructions on its back:

"I don't know who designed this way of summoning heroes, it's quite peculiar..."

Holding the ball in his hands, Mayor Ma's eyes were slightly complex, and finally, gritting his teeth, he threw it out violently.

"I choose you, Wan Chaoren!"

The ball hit the ground, but instead of bouncing up as expected, it adhered to the surface and spread out.

In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a precise and complex mechanical base.

Beams of light erupted from the core of the base, intertwining and winding, eventually outlining the silhouette of an oval portal above the mechanical base.
