Chapter 206 Southeast Asia and Competition
Yes,
Wang Xiaoming decided to let Zhao Kaiming participate in tomorrow's competition.
In this way, he can collect experimental data during the competition, which is much better than giving Zhao Kaiming a full physical examination.
As for the outcome of the competition, Zhao Kaiming's strength was the issue.
As someone who personally smelted four evil spirits and helped Zhao Kaiming control the wish pendant, Wang Xiaoming knows Zhao Kaiming's current strength better than anyone else.
Now Zhao Kaiming’s strength is enough to directly compete for the first position among the new generation of ghost riders.
In particular, his method of controlling evil spirits is curse control, which can fully unleash the power of evil spirits. The restart ability alone can make most ghost controllers helpless.
"What does the professor mean?" Zhao Jianguo asked hesitantly on the other side of the phone.
"I want to squeeze someone in and collect some data."
"Professor, it's not that I don't want to help you," Zhao Jianguo said in embarrassment, "It's just that the places for the competition have been decided. The headquarters attaches great importance to this competition. Every participating ghost rider has been carefully selected. All of them have the strength of top ghost riders to ensure that they can win the competition..."
Wang Xiaoming ignored these reasons. He said calmly: "I, the candidate for ghost tamer, have tamed four evil ghosts. My strength has surpassed the top ghost tamers, and I have also mastered the ability to restart."
Four evil spirits! Restart ability?
As the captain of the headquarters, Zhao Jianguo often deals with ghost riders. Naturally, he understands how powerful the ghost rider who rides four evil ghosts mentioned by Wang Xiaoming is. You know, someone who rides three evil ghosts can be called a top ghost rider.
However, even if four evil ghosts are controlled, the superiors may not necessarily take the initiative to replace them. After all, the five people they carefully selected are not ordinary people.
And what is this restart capability?
Professor Wang mentioned it on his own initiative, so it must be a very powerful ability, but what can it do? Can it guarantee victory in the competition?
"Professor, this..." Zhao Jianguo hesitated for a moment and said, "I'll convey it to Cao's army first!"
"Okay, tell Cao Yanhua first and ask for his opinion," Wang Xiaoming said calmly, "Also, be sure to tell him that this ghost rider has the ability to restart."
Zhao Jianguo asked curiously, "Professor, what exactly is this restart ability? It's worth your repeated mentioning."
It’s no wonder that Zhao Jianguo didn’t know about the restart ability. The new generation of Ghost Riders has only just developed to the level of top Ghost Riders, and even the aliens have not appeared yet, let alone the restart ability.
The older generation of ghost handlers either died or lived in seclusion. Even Old Qin, who joined the headquarters, was not talkative and always kept his mouth shut, rarely mentioning anything about supernatural ghosts.
"Restart, as the name suggests, means you can restart everything and turn back time." Wang Xiaoming explained calmly.
Time goes back?!
Zhao Jianguo was silent for a moment, and after a while he said, "Professor, you are kidding, right? Turning back time, is this an ability that humans can master?"
"Humans can't do it, but evil spirits can. There are not many evil spirits that have the ability to restart, but there are still some. But don't panic. No matter how strong the restart ability is, it can only restart a part of the time, not the entire world." Wang Xiaoming comforted.
It turns out that it only takes time to restart some areas!
Zhao Jianguo breathed a sigh of relief, and then he slapped himself.
"What am I thinking? Restarting a part of the area is pretty outrageous, isn't it?"
Coming back to his senses, Zhao Jianguo assured:
"Professor, I will upload the message immediately and I think I will get a reply to you soon."
The headquarters will definitely not reject a ghost rider who can restart time and possesses such incredible ability, and will even be eager to have him.
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Jianguo immediately contacted Cao Yanhua. As the person in charge of the headquarters, Cao Yanhua obviously knew more than Zhao Jianguo and had learned about the restart information.
Upon learning that Wang Xiaoming was going to recommend a ghost rider with the ability to restart to participate in the competition at headquarters, Cao Yanhua immediately called.
In the new laboratory, less than five minutes after Wang Xiaoming hung up the phone, the phone rang again.
"Professor, who is this ghost rider you are talking about?"
As soon as the call was connected, Cao Yanhua's excited voice rang out.
"Zhao Kaiming." Wang Xiaoming replied.
"Well... I know him. Doesn't he only control one evil ghost?" Cao Yanhua asked puzzledly.
Wang Xiaoming said calmly, "I just did an experiment on Zhao Kaiming and helped him control four evil spirits. I wanted him to participate in the competition with the ghost controllers from Germany and Jian, and collect the experimental data at the same time."
"I see," Cao Yanhua continued, "I understand what the professor means. I will arrange for Zhao Kaiming to play."
With Zhao Kaiming present, Cao Yanhua had already won one of the five competitions, so he naturally knew what to choose.
"By the way, I'm going to this competition too," Wang Xiaoming added, "I need to be on site to collect data."
……
That night, a flight directly to Southeast Asia took off from Dajing City. On the plane, Wang Xiaoming sat upright in his seat with his eyes closed.
Cao Yanhua ultimately failed to persuade Wang Xiaoming, and in the end he was even persuaded by Wang Xiaoming.
The dangers in Southeast Asia are now foreseeable. It is too dangerous to let an important figure like Wang Xiaoming come to Southeast Asia.
However, after Wang Xiaoming told the headquarters about the method he was currently researching to control evil spirits with curses and showed his current powerful fighting ability, the headquarters finally agreed.
After completely analyzing the wish ghost, Wang Xiaoming can now be said to be a small wish ghost. He has analyzed the abilities of the wish ghost into spells, so even the restart is not surprising.
With the strength shown by Wang Xiaoming, no one in the current headquarters can pose a threat to him except Old Qin.
The method of controlling evil spirits with curses has greatly shocked the headquarters. Although there is now a healing formation, the ghost controllers at the headquarters are no longer worried about the revival of evil spirits.
However, the pain that a ghost rider should experience still exists, such as changes in temperament and body, and the method of controlling evil ghosts with curses perfectly solves these problems. There is a curse interval between the evil ghost and the human body, and controlling evil ghosts no longer has strong side effects.
If Wang Xiaoming's research is successful, then for future ghost riders, controlling evil spirits may be as easy as catching elves.
The headquarters can easily train a large number of Ghost Riders, and it is not impossible to establish an army of Ghost Riders. By then, Ghost Riders may become a unique supernatural system on Blue Star.
The revival of the supernatural will not be some terrible world-destroying disaster, but a massive explosion of pet elves. The supernatural land will not be a forbidden area full of dragons and tigers, but a new continent, the first step for mankind to advance beyond the blue planet.
At the same time, Zhao Kaiming, who was far away in Dahai City, also arrived at the airport. After leaving the headquarters, he went directly to Dahai City, where the bodies of his family members were kept in an ice storage. After saving his family members, Zhao Kaiming received an order from the headquarters before he could reminisce about the past. After learning that it was Wang Xiaoming's intention, he agreed.
After a brief reunion with his family, Zhao Kaiming boarded a plane to Southeast Asia.
In the capital of a small country in Southeast Asia, a luxury hotel has been booked by people from the Renguo headquarters.
At this time, the team leader Shen Liang gathered the five ghost riders participating in the competition in a room on the tenth floor and announced that he had just received an order from the headquarters that one of them would replace one of them to participate in this competition.
"What does headquarters mean by this?"
As soon as Shen Liang finished speaking, someone expressed his dissatisfaction. It was Fang Shiming from his circle of friends. He also participated in this competition. He frowned and said with an unpleasant expression: "Don't they know that changing generals at the last minute is a taboo?"
After saying this, Fang Shiming looked around at the other contestants, as if wanting to get their support.
The headquarters' last-minute replacement of generals was clearly a sign of lack of confidence in their strength. How could Fang Shiming, who had been in a high position for a long time, tolerate this?
"Old Fang is right. Cao Yanhua is getting old and confused. With me, Ye Zhen, here, we will definitely win this competition. There is no need to change people." Ye Zhen on the side said with a proud look on his face.
However, not everyone was dissatisfied with the news. For example, Li Leping, the person in charge of Dachuan City, had been staying in the corner since he entered the room, not moving or speaking.
Yang Zili, the person in charge of Daming City, was wrapped in a quilt, with only his dozing head exposed. It was estimated that he did not hear what Shen Liang said just now.
Only Wang Chaling from Dadong City seemed to be hesitant to speak, wanting to say something but saying nothing.
When Ye Zhen saw this, he said with a look of disdain: "Xiao Wang, just say whatever you want to say. As a top ghost rider, why are you so slow?"
After Ye Zhen finished speaking, everyone present looked at Wang Chaling.
Wang Chaling's eyes went dark, but he still said with a straight face: "Captain Shen, I am willing to withdraw from the competition and give up this opportunity."
Wang Chaling was originally reluctant to participate in this competition because it was too dangerous, but the headquarters took a liking to him and strongly urged him to participate. Now that he has a chance to withdraw, Wang Chaling naturally has to seize it.
"Ah! Xiao Wang, you are so useless," Ye Zhen complained, "You surrendered without even seeing the other party. I am really ashamed to be associated with you."
Seeing the situation getting more and more chaotic, Shen Liang took the initiative to help Wang Chaling out and said, "Everyone, please stop arguing. This time, we changed people at the last minute because Professor Wang Xiaoming wants to conduct an experiment. The experiment is very important, and I hope everyone will cooperate."
Then Shen Liang looked at Wang Chaling and said, "Thank you for your cooperation. The compensation agreed by the headquarters will not be less this time."
Wang Xiaoming???
Everyone present had question marks in their heads. They didn't expect that this matter would involve Wang Xiaoming.
"Well... If this is what Professor Wang meant, then I understand. Professor Wang must have his considerations for doing this." Fang Shiming said with a dry cough.
Ye Zhen also became much more polite: "For Professor Wang's sake, I will not pursue this matter. But where is the ghost rider now? At least let us meet him and get to know him."
Li Leping also became interested, and Yang Ziling also became much more energetic. They all looked at Shen Liang. This was the power of Wang Xiaoming's reputation.
Although he has not appeared in the outside world, his inventions have been circulating in the supernatural world, and all the ghost riders in the headquarters have used the supernatural items he invented.
Wang Xiaoming's current reputation can be said to be unparalleled, and all ghost riders are waiting for his next invention.
Shen Liang showed a faint smile on his face: "That person is still on the way and will arrive around three in the morning.
In addition, Professor Wang Xiaoming will also be present at the scene. We must protect the professor's safety and no accidents should occur."
The professor is coming to the scene too?
Fang Shiming and others were all shocked. With Wang Xiaoming's identity, how could the headquarters let Wang Xiaoming out? Isn't the headquarters afraid of accidents?
What kind of experiment is this? It requires Wang Xiaoming to come to Southeast Asia in person.
But Shen Liang didn’t know the answer to this question. He only received the most basic orders.
It was three o'clock in the morning. In a large conference hall in a luxury hotel, the lights were bright. Fang Shiming, Ye Zhen and others were all here, either resting with their eyes closed or watching anime or playing games.
As top ghost riders, sleep is no longer necessary. Since the competition is tomorrow, in order to prevent any accidents, the five of them gathered together tonight.
With a creak, Li Leping walked in from outside. Fang Shiming opened his eyes and looked over, asking, "How is it?"
"There were a few little mice, and I got rid of them." Li Leping said expressionlessly.
During the two days in the hotel, they had seen this kind of temptation countless times. Fortunately, the location chosen for the competition this time was in Southeast Asia. Although it was not in the country, it was still within the influence of Ren Country.
In addition, the White Lotus Sect, the largest ghost-controlling organization in Southeast Asia, has half joined the headquarters, so this place can be considered half of the headquarters' home court. Otherwise, there would be more temptations from the enemy, and maybe even top ghost-controllers would attack in the middle of the night to disrupt their state.
Fang Shiming looked at the time and said, "It's already 3:30 in the morning, why hasn't Shen Liang come back yet?"
Shen Liang went to pick up Zhao Kaiming. According to the time they had agreed on, they should arrive around three in the morning, but it was already half past three. It was very likely that they encountered problems along the way.
Li Leping shook his head, said nothing, and sat back in his seat.
About ten minutes later, the sound of a car was suddenly heard outside the hotel. The people in the conference room were not ordinary people. They noticed the movement instantly and guessed that it must be Shen Liang who came back.
Sure enough, a few minutes later, Shen Liang walked into the meeting room with a young man.
Everyone looked past Shen Liang and looked at the young man, wanting to see who he was. He was so powerful that he not only replaced Wang Chaling at the last minute, but also had an unclear relationship with Wang Xiaoming.
"You are..." The moment Ye Zhen saw Zhao Kaiming, he recognized him, but he couldn't remember his name.
In the end, Ye Zhen kept saying "you are" for a long time but did not say Zhao Kaiming's name.
Leaving everyone looking puzzled, Wang Chaling smiled and said, "Ye Zhen, since you know him, why don't you introduce him to us."
Wang Cha Ling saw Ye Zhen's embarrassment, so he deliberately used words to provoke Ye Zhen, because the other party always called him Xiao Wang Xiao Wang.
"He is the person in charge of Dahai City... I forgot his specific name... but I remember that he only controlled one evil ghost." Ye Zhen didn't care at all, looking thoughtful, and was not provoked by Wang Chaling at all.
