Quhe Tower.
Auditions have begun.
Wen Shi's number was at the back of the queue, while You Shi was still in the long queue. From time to time, he heard some unpleasant words from people around him. However, for the sake of his dream, You Shi decided to endure it.
In the art appreciation class, the teacher mentioned that artists will face a lot of criticism after their debut, which is a sign of becoming famous.
Because of the contract, Youshi could sense Wen Shi's presence nearby. He turned his head and precisely locked onto Wen Shi, who had just approached. He had been watching them, like a parent outside an exam room.
Wen Shi clenched his fists and made a cheering gesture.
The other party had already been selected to play the role of Shitou, so he didn't need to come originally, but he still accompanied him to the audition site and waited for feedback on the results.
This process of being cared for like a sapling made Youshi feel a sense of unease.
[Zombie's Rationality +0.2]
Not far away, Wen Shi's fatherly, loving smile was tinged with a hint of ferocity.
Only 0.2? He was tired of saying the word "rebellious son".
When the zombies were about to appear, Ji Yuanzhi used his first skill [Hallucination], carried the camera as if no one was around, and entered the teaching building with the other party.
Wen Shi leaned against the lamppost, following the figures of the two people with his eyes. You Shi was assigned to examination room 102, which invisibly facilitated the implementation of the plan.
There were many students gathered at the door of classroom 102, paying close attention to the examination inside. If anything happened, the students would be the first to witness it.
He half-closed his eyes and yawned slightly tiredly. About five or six minutes later, the noisy scene fell silent, and the penetrating and perfect singing voice reached this side.
It sounds very good, and Wen Shidu felt that his soul was cleansed for a moment.
After a brief silence, the area outside Quhe Building was in an uproar. Wen Shi heard someone shouting, "How is this possible? He can't possibly make such a sound." Some people even came up with the ridiculous possibility that they were twin brothers.
Several instructors in the classroom looked at each other in confusion, and one of them immediately made a phone call.
Not long after, Wen Shi saw the principal coming down from the second floor and walking towards the classroom.
[Nightingale Voice Changer] can only be used for five minutes at a time, and the detailed instructions also include a cool-down period. If the principal lets the zombie sing another song, the zombie's singing voice will be restored.
Wen Shi had already told the zombies in advance that if they encountered such a situation, they should first say a few weird words and then pretend to faint. Anyway, his heart rate was different from that of an ordinary person.
Just in case, Wen Shi decided to go to the scene in person to see it.
There were too many people and he couldn't even squeeze to the classroom door. A member of the student union was going against the flow. Everyone else was trying to get in, but he was trying to get out.
"Get out of the way! Someone's fainted," a student union member warned. "If anyone keeps pushing, I'll report everyone to the school leadership."
In the face of absolute authority, the students instantly quieted down a lot.
Wen Shi was not afraid of being reported. He jumped forward nearly ten meters and asked, "What happened in there?"
The person being questioned temporarily forgot the gap between the new and old students and said in a daze, "That special recruit who sang terrible suddenly sang a heavenly voice, but not long after he finished singing, he fainted. And before he fainted..."
The old student covered his mouth and whispered, "Something about 'King Asa'."
As Wen Shi followed suit with a look of shock, he clicked on the [Believers] column and began issuing the second command:
Spread the news about the tablet enshrined in the belly of the mermaid in the library.
The school had a school bus, and the corpse was carried out, put on the bus, and then taken to the school infirmary.
The scene was very chaotic. Wen Shi left the crowd and walked to a relatively open place. Not long after, Ji Yuanzhi also arrived.
He nodded, indicating that all the zombie assessment footage had been recorded.
Wen Shi: "The principal will definitely go to the school clinic to check for the zombies. After all, the time of the coma is too coincidental."
Just as he was about to offer a solution, Ji Yuanzhi interrupted him: "Not coincidentally, I heard a mentor and a colleague whispering, worried that he might have had a miscarriage."
As he said this, he looked at Wen Shi with a very strange look.
What are you looking at me for?
Wen Shi immediately responded: "He got pregnant because of the mutant pomegranate flower..."
"It doesn't matter." Ji Yuanzhi said calmly, "At least your story makes sense. He sacrificed his child to King Asa in exchange for a good voice."
"…"
Ji Yuanzhi asked, "Can he temporarily stop the pregnancy?"
"…I'm afraid not."
Ji Yuanzhi walked back into the crowd, snatched the smartphone from a student, and posted the video of the zombie singing on the forum.
With the open class video released by the student union as a reference, the comparison between the two shows that the Wandering Corpse has become the business card of the Usa Kingdom.
Wen Shi stood aside, watching new comments added to the forum every second, and nodded with satisfaction.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Ji Yuanzhi suddenly took back his phone, and the whole person seemed to disappear out of thin air.
Wen Shi realized that he was using hallucinogenic skills. About five seconds later, a clear voice came from behind: "Student Aaron."
The fish took the bait.
Wen Shi adjusted his expression, turned around and called out respectfully, "Teacher Ruan."
"Come with me."
The two of them turned onto a deserted path, and this time Wen Shi took the initiative to speak: "Did you call me because of Yulia's classmate?"
The instructor usually knows which students he is close to. He specifically teaches the zombies in the first class. Sometimes they communicate during breaks. Except for him, others basically have no interaction with the zombies.
Teacher Ruan stared at Wen Shi with sharp eyes: "Do you know something?"
Wen Shi pretended to hesitate and said, "Yulia has been acting strangely lately. He came to me one time and asked if I believed in Asa, saying that Asa could fulfill any wish. I thought he was joking. But just yesterday..."
"Uriah suddenly expressed his joy at having found the most suitable sacrifice. He kept his hands on his stomach as he spoke."
Teacher Ruan frowned and listened.
He personally took the physical examination reports of the freshmen, and the principal held a special meeting for this purpose. The fact that Youzha was pregnant was no secret among the school's top management.
"Now that I think about it, what Yulia said was true." Wen Shi was horrified. "Otherwise, how could he have such a singing voice..."
Teacher Ruan did not come to a conclusion. This matter revealed too many strange things. However, this name "Asa" was not the first time it appeared. There was also a similar tablet in the belly of the deformed mermaid in the library.
Wen Shi had been in control of the conversation today. He lowered his voice and said, "Yesterday you mentioned the principal's heart-wrenching incident..."
Before Teacher Ruan could react with murderous intent due to that unpleasant memory, he spoke quickly, "Why don't we make sure Asa's rumors are confirmed? I'm sure the principal will be extremely busy over this."
Previously, Wen Shi used the unspoken rules as an excuse to play tricks, which made Teacher Ruan very unhappy, but the suggestion he proposed now is very feasible.
"...But it's definitely not easy to put into practice. Students' wishes are all sorts of strange and varied. Even if someone makes a wish to Asa, we can't possibly grant them all..."
"What's so difficult about this?" Teacher Ruan said, "Pick a random student in class and give him a compliment or a few points. Then spread the word that he worshipped Asa. Do this a couple of times, and the rumor will be confirmed."
Even if the student denies it, others will only think that he wants to keep the benefits for himself.
This time Wen Shi was really stunned.
The fact that Mr. Ruan, who is always strict, suddenly praised a student with average grades is indeed the best evidence.
He originally wanted to persuade Teacher Ruan to pay money to the wandering corpses, use the wandering corpses to win over believers, establish an open country of Uzza, attract the principal's attention, and use this method to confirm the existence of Asa.
I didn't expect that this stingy miser is actually a master of tactics.
"Your idea this time is very good." Teacher Ruan smiled gently yet creepily. "It's worth my effort to squeeze you into the concert."
"…" Thank you so much for stuffing it in to play a big rock.

With so much going on, rumors about King Asa quickly spread throughout the college. The principal began to crack down on the rumors and privately sent someone to investigate the matter. Unfortunately, he had no say over what students worshipped privately.
The number of believers on Wenshi's attribute panel quickly exceeded two hundred.
When the number of believers reached 201, the game prompt sounded:
"Five special NPCs believe in King Asa's existence, and twelve special NPCs are skeptical."
School leaders, tutors of each grade, school doctors and other people with high status in the college are special NPCs.
"Panel updated."
Click to view when warm.
King Asa
Apostle No. 1: Ji Yuanzhi (candidate for high priest, real name remains in doubt)Signed books
Apostle No. 2: Song Yan (Cardinal candidate, real name in doubt)
Apostle No. 3: Yarlin (alternative missionary, real name is questionable)
Believers: 201 (click to view detailed list)
"Just as I thought..."
True and false are originally relative concepts. He now has loyal believers, and even several special NPCs believe that this king exists, so he does exist.
Ji Yuanzhi and others were able to appear on the list because they made contributions to the founding of the empire, but their contributions were not great enough.
However, Asa II and the Minister of Foreign Affairs, who were personally appointed by Wen Shi, have not made any substantial contributions and are not included in the panel for the time being.
"A third codename has been generated for you: [King]."
"king."
There was silence for two seconds. This somewhat childish code name made Wen Shi's expression subtle. He had a subtle feeling that this was a fork in his life where he deviated from the path arranged by his father.
[Doctor] and [Heir] are both related to the hospital, but [King] is a title that belongs entirely to Wen Shi.
The system prompt sound continues:
"Your subject Ji Yuanzhi has been given the code name [Apostle No. 1]."
"Your subject, Song Yan, has been given the code name [Apostle No. 2]."
"Code name?!" It's a code number of one, two, and three.
Wen Shi's face changed. Ji Yuanzhi, who wanted to leave the organization, might want to kill him when he heard this code name.
On second thought, Ji Yuan knew that he deserved it. The person who seemed to be the one who should have stopped him actually did an excellent job of finishing the work every time.

Virtual world.
There have been rumors recently that a wave of key-containing copies have been launched.
It is unknown how credible the rumor is, but the direct impact is that private transactions between players have become more frequent, and the number of elite players who actively go to the dungeon has increased significantly.
The trading area and the black market are two of the bustling places.
The data on the fan-shaped light screen that surrounds most of the area is constantly increasing or decreasing. The first area to notice the changes on the giant screen is the trade area. Ji Yuanzhi ranks very high in the game, and any situation that happens to the players in the front row will be noticed first.
"Hey!"
The seller, who was in the middle of a business conversation, was stunned: "Ji Yuanzhi's code name has increased."
The original code name was [Wise Man], but the code name generated later actually pushed [Wise Man] to the back.
Ji Yuanzhi was already a well-known figure in the game. When he shouted, many people immediately looked up.
"Apostle No. 1, what the hell?"
The original meaning of apostle is 'one who is sent', but it is hard to apply it to Ji Yuanzhi. Who could he be sent by? Yu Xingzhou?
Everyone subconsciously looked at another giant screen, looking for the copy where Ji Yuanzhi was currently located.
S-tier dungeons were limited, and generally ranked near the front. It wasn't long before everyone locked onto Mermaid Shores. Someone, squeezing in the front row of the screen, muttered, "I see a familiar player number."
"I also..."
Player 460872, Pei Wenwei has been in the limelight recently.
Wherever he is, there are outrageous things.
"Pei Wenwei's code name has also changed to King."
The King and Apostle No. 1 are connected no matter how you look at it, and their classes are clearly divided.
Someone said, "Ji Yuanzhi... isn't doing too well."
They entered the dungeon together, a king and an apostle. Shouldn't they reflect on this?
"Some members of the Second Commandment went to inform Yu Xingzhou. I wonder what he thought after hearing that."
...Pei Wenwei is finished this time.
Many people gloated over his misfortune. Ji Yuanzhi was Yu Xingzhou's right-hand man, and now he had condescended to be someone else's apostle. How could Yu Xingzhou not be angry?
Yu Xingzhou is currently in the club. The signals in several rooms are blocked, so his subordinates can only go there in person to notify them.
Worried that the president might be angry, the person delivering the letter moved a little further away, praying that he wouldn't be the target of the president's anger.
After hearing this, Yu Xingzhou was silent for a moment. His stern figure exuded a sense of sharpness, and the whole room was suddenly filled with low pressure.
The subordinate secretly cursed himself for being incompetent. If he had known earlier, he would have used the communicator to contact other people and let other members pass on the message.
Just as he was lost in thought, Yu Xingzhou finally spoke: "Fortunately, I didn't place this order."
The subordinate was stunned for a moment.
What the hell?
This is not the same as the development of rage that I imagined.
Yu Xingzhou walked to the table and slowly wiped the bottle mouth. The muscles he used when he used the bottle opener were perfectly defined. He poured a glass of wine and said calmly, "If I play this game, I might be Apostle No. 3."
Although he didn't know what happened exactly, he believed his premonition was correct.
