Chapter 366: Chapter 366 Graduation Mock Exam
The quadrotor’s noise suppression was well implemented. After a journey that was not comfortable but at least not noisy, Mr. Dunn finally caught sight of what the world referred to as the outskirts of the city.
Feng Xue didn’t know whether it was due to the geographical factors of Isgray City or if most of the soil in this world had turned to sand, but the place he landed definitely resembled a desert.
However, in this desert, he could see quite a few drought-resistant plants like cacti, which proved that this wasn’t the nuclear wasteland he had imagined.
"This is the spot. Two hours ago, we air-dropped supplies equivalent to over three medium-sized supermarkets to the target location. This is the drone equipped for your live streaming. The audience has also been preliminarily filtered. We have assigned fifty super moderators to ensure that no one maliciously disrupts the flow. Do you need anything else?"
Following behind Dunn, who had just stepped off the aircraft, Sai Chi pointed to a location nearby and spoke in a somewhat uneasy tone, as if he were afraid a gambler might suddenly charge out.
Dunn shook his head slightly and said,
"Bringing me here is enough. Also, don’t be too strict with the live viewers; let the comments flow freely. If all the comments are agreeable, it can arouse suspicion and is also not conducive to swaying emotions. Just keep a balance; in fact, if there’s a lack of disruptive negative comments, you might even need to have someone post a few."
"Uh... I understand." As a negotiator from a mechanical design company, Sai Chi wasn’t very knowledgeable about social media. Upon hearing Dunn speak like this, all he could do was nod and then pull out his communicator to alert the staff backstage.
However, his colleagues in charge were obviously more knowledgeable. After a conversation that lasted merely seconds, he awkwardly replied,
"The professionals over there are already prepared and will adjust the comments as necessary."
"That’s fine then. Have your people back off. I’m about to start the live stream," said Dunn as he pressed a button on his wearable terminal, letting several drones gradually ascend.
Compared to the drones he had crafted using the Cleverly Crafted power, and then transformed into Companion Phantom Objects through the "Unconventional Streamer" tag, these mechanical bodies needed sufficient numbers to achieve the best effect.
However, Feng Xue didn’t mention manufacturing drones himself, as acting more technically advanced than a military industrial company was hardly wise.
Seeing the drones begin to rise, Sai Chi immediately gestured for his subordinates to start withdrawing. He knew better than any of these employees just how dangerous this wretched place could be.
As the aircraft ascended, Dunn switched on the camera of the drones. As the video fed into the live stream, he adjusted his breathing and facial details slightly and put on an overly serious, yet amusing expression and greeted the viewers,
"Welcome to the Black Thorn Ghost Hunting Agency’s live ghost hunting stream. I’ve been invited here today, outside the city, to target something big."
[Wow, outside the city?]
[Are you sure this isn’t green screen projecting?]
[Any experts here who can identify the specific location?]
[I can only tell the cactus species is from the Averlate Desert. It should be near Isgray City, but I can’t pinpoint it exactly.]
...
Watching the informative comments popping up immediately, Dunn got a good grasp of the audience’s level and exclaimed,
"That’s right, we are just outside Isgray City. The proximity to the city is why the employer is worried about potential threats to the urban area, which is why I was sent on this field mission."
Speaking, Dunn, rode a hoverboard, heading toward the vibrantly colored target area while saying:
"From what I heard, the target this time wiped out an entire settlement, I bet they don’t watch streamers’ live broadcasts!"
[Who watches live broadcasts outside the city!]
[Exactly, they have their own village networks!]
[Get a clue about the ’Information Cocoon’, villagers can only see what’s between the villages, the city network only circulates among big cities]
[Isn’t there also a dark web...]
[You’re banned!]
...
After glancing at the noisy barrage of comments, Dunn relaxed a bit. Although the target this time was still a gambler, it was fundamentally different from before.
Because that gambler had become a Kaidan.
Of course, this was also part of his plan, he just didn’t expect it to happen so quickly with the efforts of those big companies.
Even if it had turned into a Kaidan, it was still based on a Poisonous Insect Body, like a modern-day legend built onto the legends from nowhere; because the Poisonous Insect Body existed first before the Kaidan about the "ghost", it wasn’t completely influenced by the legend like innate ones, and still retained the traits of a Poisonous Insect Body.
It had just become an independent entity because of the Kaidan traits.
Therefore, hunting this ghost was fundamentally different from the previous acting; if previously he was making an American-style superhero movie with all kinds of fancy effects, then this time, Dunn intended to shoot a Jackie Chan-style action movie—not even planning to use stunts!
He wasn’t seeking death, but wanted to use this opportunity to test the specific equipment he had acquired in this world and also try to complete the last phase of his tailored preparations.
Riding the hoverboard, Speed’s progress was swift, and in a few minutes, the destination was already within sight; looking at the scenery ahead, the barrage exploded—not because the scenery was too gruesome, but because...
[Is this some landfill?]
[Why is there trash everywhere?]
[Shit, who has landfills like this anymore! Shouldn’t expired food be directly recycled into nutrition paste?]
...
"Truly a bunch of mechanical types, so literal, huh?" Dunn said, twitching his lips slightly at the food littered all around. Although he did throw the whole department store over, he didn’t expect them to literally dump everything including snacks, groceries, and oils!
Luckily, perhaps due to the peculiar climate of the desert or because it wasn’t abandoned for long, there wasn’t any particularly foul smell. He casually picked up an unbroken chip bag and glanced at the date before saying,
"Looking at the production date, these items aren’t even near expiry, not to mention expired—seems like they weren’t deliberately thrown away... Could it be the ghost’s bad taste, liking to spoil food? Seriously, I’m now starting to wonder if this is a trap set by the employer!"
While talking, Dunn casually tore open the chip bag, snacked on them, found a reasonably straight stick, kicked open a patch of ground, and stood it upright—
"Alright, enough talk, let’s start looking for the ghost!"
