War games are never just about fighting.

The almost masochistic exercise pursued by the contestants in the Grey Mist District is nothing more than an after-show in the eyes of the demons.

The Heavenly Court needs this annual festival to demonstrate the correctness of their rule.

It's a well-known thing.

Therefore, in order to ensure that the goal can be achieved, various ceremonial activities before the competition are essential.

"We're heading to the central plaza of Asgard, where contestants from all major districts will have the privilege of being received by the Saints, and a series of celebratory performances will await you."

The fox girl Ali faces the camera, explaining where the airboat will go next and what may happen later.

The platform, which has been broadcast live several times in previous years, can be said to know all aspects of the celebration well.

As they spoke, the airship kept climbing.

Yan Jing stood alone in front of the window on the side of the airboat, looking at the fog that was getting thicker and thicker outside.

In order to cooperate with the grand ceremony, the airships prepared for them by the three areas of gray fog are huge.

Unlike the rental airboat that Yan Jing had previously sat on, this airboat had a more akin appearance to a real boat, with not only a spacious cabin hall but also a forward deck with an area of more than 100 square meters.

It's just sailing in the sky.

If nothing else, we will arrive at the central square later, and the front deck will be where Yan Jing and the other contestants will stay, and they will be inspected by the Heavenly Court Saints.

After only a few minutes, the airship successfully passed through the fog and entered the "trunk" location of the steel jungle of Asgard City.

The skyscrapers and the heavenly courtyard that towered above the horizon came into view again.

The sky and the earth are dark, and the wind and rain seem to never stop.

The airboat no longer rises vertically, but moves forward, shuttling between many high-rise buildings, and Yan Jing, standing at the window, can clearly see the crowd of people watching from the surrounding buildings.

Yan Jing noticed that the advertisements in various parts of the city had changed today, no longer promoting various goods, but instead turning into some clips related to the Heavenly Court, including interviews with demon heroes, heroic scenes of fighting monsters outside the city, and so on, to enhance the atmosphere.

Yan Jing glanced at it a few times and stopped looking, and returned to his mobile phone, where Soman, who had left his contact information in advance, sent a lot of messages.

Relying on the money that Yan Jing transferred before leaving, Soman's approach was very simple.

First of all, a sum of money was allocated to hire colleagues who ran business in various urban areas, let them go to the most crowded places to publicize, and at the same time, use the remaining money to communicate with some taverns in various urban areas in exchange for free meals today.

For most civilians in the Grey Mist Zone, they probably didn't care who Yan Jing was, but the free food and alcohol were enough to make them drop everything they had and gather at the tavern.

Judging from the few photos sent by Soman, the several taverns he talked about working with were undoubtedly full.

Exiting the chat interface, Yan Jing turned to the Torch's mission panel.

'Extra Mission: Dawn, 5% of current completion'

And so it was!

Seeing the increase in progress, Yan Jing's hands hanging down to his side couldn't help but clench.

When he arrived at the venue today, he specially looked at the mission progress, which was still 2%, and after he appeared through the live broadcast, his own situation was spread and known by many ordinary people in Asgard City, the mission progress increased.

When he first got this extra quest from Kiss, his progress was already 2%, and Yan Jing thought carefully about the source of this part of the progress.

Combined with the requirements of the mission, things like killing gladiators, gang members, and the like did change Asgard City to some extent, and Yan Jing originally thought that these two things had increased the progress of the mission.

But when you think about it, there are countless similar organizations or individuals in the entire Asgard City, and the underground gladiatorial arena can be rebuilt at any time, and even if the Silt Gang is destroyed, as long as it takes two or three days, there will definitely be new gangs rising.

Mere killing won't make Asgard Castle change.

The reason for the city's decline is not just a few underground organizations.

When you think about it, there is only one thing worth caring about, the identity of the wanted criminal!

With the help of the "publicity" of the police station, Yan Jing's identity as a wanted criminal and related deeds spread rapidly, and people couldn't help but be encouraged to learn that he was an ordinary person and successfully defeated half-demons and gang members.

Of course, all of the above was just Yan Jing's personal speculation until just now, and the changes in the mission panel at this time undoubtedly confirmed Yan Jing's speculation last night.

If you want to complete this additional task, which is likely to involve the foreign object of the Kiss Relic, you have to start with the people of Asgard City.

This is also one of the main reasons why Yan Jing still chose to participate in the war game after being warned by Zheng Qin.

If Yan Jing was just trying to figure out the situation of the demon curse before, then what he had to do now was to use this opportunity to better achieve his goal.

"Mr. Yan, we're about to enter the central plaza."

The voice from beside him interrupted Yan Jing's thinking, and Wu Lu, who was holding a tablet in his hand, appeared aside,

"There are some things I want to communicate with you in advance."

"Say."

Putting the phone back in his pocket, Yan Jing turned to Wu Lu and said.

"According to the process, in about ten minutes, we will arrive at the central square, there will be some activities, it will take a lot of time, and the participants will go to the place prepared in advance in Asgard City after the inspection of the Holy Dependents to wait for the war game to officially begin."

Wu Lu glanced at the screen of the tablet in his hand, which was the real-time report of Yan Jing by major news media, paused, and then said,

"Now that your identity has been revealed, there is a good chance that there will be something going on in the other suburbs while waiting in the venue...... I hope you will exercise restraint and preferably avoid getting into a confrontation with them, as the security guards in the venue are all blood purifiers. ”

Even though Wu Lu had already used a more euphemistic expression, Yan Jing still heard the meaning of his words.

It was nothing more than that the other contestants, knowing that there were humans involved in the war game, might take advantage of the waiting time to provoke Yan Jing and make him expelled.

Yan Jing didn't care much about this, and nodded his head to show that he knew.

While the two were talking, the airboat passed through two tall buildings, and in front of them on the right, an airboat from another city appeared, and the two sides exchanged faces, and then turned to the other side.

The fact that the airships belonging to different Grey Mist districts could be encountered, proving that they were not far from the central square of Asgard City.

Sure enough, a few minutes after the two empty ships went hand in hand, a large number of giant extension platforms began to appear between the tall buildings in front of them, and there was no real land in the middle of Asgard City.

The so-called central plaza is made up of these platforms that extend in all directions.
