Simulation: Starting from Under One Person

Except for Rhode Island and Fire Chaser.

Chapter 655 Accident

When the delegations from various countries arrived in Longmen, the first thing they did was go to their embassies, and the second thing was to visit Wei Yanwu. After all, this was Yan Kingdom territory, and they had to put on a show.

The third thing was to go to the Fire Chaser Company. Some forces, after testing Wei Yanwu's attitude, tried to forcibly seize the Fire Chaser Company's technology, but were taught a lesson by a bunch of "Phantoms".

The phantoms are projections constructed by Fang Rui using certain powers. These projections are all of certain powerful individuals. Although their strength is not as great as the original body, they are still enough to wreak havoc in Terra.

Therefore, the group of mission members had absolutely no chance of making a ripple, and didn't even get close to the Fire Chaser Company...

After the "demonstration" by several forces, the other forces have realized that the reason why Longmen did not intervene was simply because Zhu Huo Company was so powerful that there was no need to send anyone to protect them.

The various factions ceased their efforts and did not continue sending supplies...

While waiting for the competition to begin, these people sent out people to investigate Fire Chaser Company and other forces, as they were all going to participate in the competition and needed to understand their competitors.

Wei Yanwu ignored the open and covert struggles among the various forces, only sending people to tell them that fighting was acceptable, but they should not damage the Dragon Gate.

These people did not refuse. If the incident went too far and affected the competition, they would definitely be punished by their superiors. Therefore, they would know how to handle the situation.

On the other hand, seeing the increasingly chaotic situation inside Longmen, Fang Rui had no intention of acting as a referee to stop the fighting.

Minato Namikaze and the others are all outstanding individuals from different worlds, so there's no need to worry about them suffering losses. On the contrary, it's those who test or provoke them who will get into trouble.

There is no need to worry about the safety of the residents of Lungmen...

When he announced the competition information, Lin Gerui sent people to Zhuhuo Company to purchase robots.

Reliable police officers take time to find, but reliable patrol robots don't; you can get a bunch for a little money...

Considering that he organized the competition himself, Fang Rui gave a discount on the price of the robot.

Today, there is a patrol robot every 500 meters in Longmen Street.

The robots in the slums were provided free of charge by Fire Chaser Company, but even with the savings, purchasing the robots needed for the upper city still strained Lungmen's finances.

Fortunately, a bunch of people came to Longmen. Wei Yanwu, Lin Gerui, and the Great Emperor were already thinking about making some money.

"Based on the current progress, the knockout stage will be completed within a week."

Fang Rui looked at the registration form and calculated the number of participants to determine how many people had not yet competed.

"A week, a little faster than I expected." Fang Rui was very satisfied.

As for the elimination rounds in Terra World, they will begin in five days...

We can start promoting and hyping up the event, and preparing for the live stream...

"Speaking of which, how about taking on some advertising?" Fang Rui's thoughts instantly wandered off course.

“My advice is ‘no,’” Pado quickly dissuaded, saying that advertising was unnecessary, since Chasing Fire Company was very profitable.

"Alright! Have you informed Alicia?" Fang Rui looked at Pado. "Will they be coming to watch the match?"

“I don’t know~” Paddo shrugged. “Sister Aili is a streamer, she should come when she has free time. Brother Kevin is an important character in the ‘script’, he’s very busy.”

"As for Brother Jie, I don't think he'll come. Sister Eden is helping you manage the company, and Sister Aponia is handling matters related to the orphanage. They've already explicitly declined..."

As Pado shared her guesses and Yingjie responded, Fang Rui's expression subtly changed.

No, according to you, there are hardly any people who come to watch the game.

First, Kiana and the others had to perform according to the script arranged by Tree and Sea. Although Tree and Sea took care of Fang Rui's feelings and lifted the assessment of the Honkai Impact 3rd world, there still had to be a sense of ceremony.

Therefore, Otto and others are all actors and do not have time to participate in events.

As for Ying Jie and the others, some of them are not in the script, but unfortunately they are not interested in the event and will not participate.

"Alright!" Fang Rui sighed softly, then considered whether the others could come.

There shouldn't be any problem, after all, only a minority are ultimately unable to escape...

During Fang Rui and Pa Duo's casual conversation, Wei Yanwu and the others encountered a problem.

Wei Yanwu never imagined that Longmen would one day be so crowded that some people would be unable to check in.

"Tsk! Don't those people have landships? Let them live on the ships..."

Wei Yanwu rubbed his temples. Although things had been quiet in Longmen lately, he was quite upset, as a group of people were secretly vying for power.

“That’s one solution too.” The Grand Tutor did not reject Wei Yanwu’s suggestion.

After all, the "guests" found all their accommodations themselves, and Longmen never helped anyone, so there was no issue of "poor hospitality".

"I'm worried that the area around Lungmen will be full of land-based ships, preventing caravans transporting supplies from entering Lungmen..."

Based on the current situation, it is highly likely that this will happen.

"Plan a separate road? Don't tell me you didn't think of that?"

The Grand Tutor's tone was one of surprise, as if to say, "You are so foolish; this is beyond my expectations."

"Of course I thought of that, I even figured out how to notify the others, but the problem is..."

Wei Yanwu said seriously, "It seems... a little late!"

Upon hearing this, the Grand Tutor remained silent for a moment before saying, "...What are you talking about? Even if the other side has already stopped near Longmen, you can still notify them to change their location."

"No, I'm a little late. I'm not referring to people from other forces, but to something else."

Wei Yanwu explained, "Some people deliberately rob caravans on the usual routes to Longmen, and several caravans have already been involved in accidents."

"Even if we send people to guard the route now, it won't make a difference."

After all, it takes time for caravans to restock supplies, and how long the supplies stored in Longmen can last is unknown, given the ever-increasing population in the city.

"Supplies can be mobilized from nearby towns within three days."

The Grand Tutor offered a solution: "Solving the problem at Longmen is feasible."

“I suspect the forces sabotaging supplies will continue,” Wei Yanwu said. “Right now they’re in the shadows, and we’re in the open. Can we lure them out by fishing?”

"Hard to say," the Grand Tutor frowned. "Give me the intelligence..."

Wei Yanwu handed the communicator to the Grand Tutor and waited quietly for a reply.

The Grand Tutor reviewed the intelligence report: caravans heading towards Longmen from several directions had all been attacked within a single day; not a single member of the caravan survived, and all their supplies were destroyed…

Destroying the supplies means the other side wasn't trying to steal them; they were simply targeting Lungmen...

What exactly were the other side's thoughts regarding Lungmen during this period?

Offending a bunch of top powers in one fell swoop...

Besides, what can the other party gain?

What do you gain from disrupting the Fire Chaser Company's events? What do you gain from causing a temporary shortage of resources in Lungmen?

Without a doubt, nothing can be gained...

With the sheer number of forces gathered by Longmen, they could easily mobilize a large amount of resources, though Longmen would lose face.

"I have absolutely no idea why they did this," the Grand Tutor frowned.

“Perhaps it’s just about causing trouble,” Wei Yanwu explained. “Some people do bad things for no reason, which is why I said it was a bit late earlier.”

"Is there no reason?" The Grand Tutor nodded slightly, indicating his understanding.

Throughout his political career, he has indeed encountered such people, or rather, quite a few.

"How do you plan to resolve this?" the Grand Tutor asked.

“It’s exhausting to guard against thieves every day, so I’ll go fishing,” Wei Yanwu said.

"What is the bait?" the Grand Tutor continued to ask.

“It’s still about supplies,” Wei Yanwu said. “But the key issue is the guards. Guards who can carry out missions in the wilderness are all quite capable. The fact that they were able to take down everyone without the other side giving any intelligence means that the troublemakers are no ordinary people.”

"So..." The Grand Tutor played along, acting as the straight man.

"We asked the contestants if they were willing to earn some money and to borrow some people from Fang Rui."

Wei Yanwu explained his plan. Fang Rui had explained the competition rules, so Wei Yanwu knew that all the participants who arrived at Longmen had directly advanced to the finals.

Every single one of them is extremely capable.

"What do you think the success rate is?" the Grand Tutor continued to ask.

“Fifty percent,” Wei Yanwu said with certainty.

The Grand Tutor squinted and said nothing. Although a 50% chance of success meant he had no confidence at all, it all depended on the other party's intentions.

"Okay, handle this matter as soon as possible, and let me know if you need any assistance."

"Okay!" Wei Yanwu replied and left the office to handle the matter.

Upon arriving at Zhuhuo Company, Fang Rui had stopped watching the live stream and was instead watching dramas with Pado.

The movies and TV shows that Pado watches are partly from Terra and partly from other worlds.

After all, Eden's company is an entertainment company, responsible for transporting excellent entertainment products from other worlds.

Therefore, Pado can easily get a bunch of them...

“Yes, it’s one I haven’t seen before…” Fang Rui said.

He used to enjoy watching TV dramas, but unfortunately, as they became increasingly ridiculous, he gradually lost interest in watching them...

Is it a comedy?

“Yes.” Paddo flicked her tail. “I prefer watching comedies.”

After becoming a fusion warrior, Patho was constantly busy on the battlefield, and her life was quite stressful.

Before becoming a fusion warrior, Paddo was also busy ensuring her survival.

Therefore, she has no interest in idol dramas or tragedies.

She prefers comedies that bring her joy.

Fang Rui also likes things that are funny; if you can laugh, there's no need to cry.

Vivi wasn't in the research lab at the moment, but was in the screening room watching a play with the two of them...

"What do you think about adding comedic elements to magic tricks? Would it make people laugh?"
