Chapter 701: 13.2 – Missed Star – Audition

Somewhere in the building, a group of men witnessed the whole thing.

“That seems to be the car of the Enigmatic General Autumn~ Wow. How lucky.”

“So General Autumn really has connections with the Regal Ye Clan?”

“Boss, what should we do? Do you think General Autumn will enter the competition as well?”

A dangerous-looking man clad in black clothes. With a lit cigarette nip on his thin lips, Obsidian hair messed around hiding his perilous glinting eyes.

“Check the identity of the pair of children and their reason for entering this competition. Also, try to check his current location if you can.”

“How about the registration boss?”

.....

“Register me as well. I will enter the Audition Solo.”

Meanwhile, Ye Qiuji and Tang Ruan change their identities and alert their appearance for a bit. Entered moonlight as well. Tang Ruan registered their names. Ye Qiuji’s registered name is Ye Qiu while Tang Ruan is Ru Tang.

Tang Ruan, “Let’s go. There seems to be an individual interview.”

“Let go.” Ye Qiuji replied with his usual mischievous smile.

Passing through the doors Ye Qiuji and Tang Ruan entered together. The area behind the door was divided into two sections and several tall and well-built men and women stood around the water cooler in the outer section building.

Everyone’s eyes couldn’t help but wonder about Ye Qiuji’s exquisite beauty and faultless figure. Some men even gripped their water cups tightly in their hands while some women gasped in surprise. Seeing that his little devil boss accidentally seduced strangers he could only pull him and bring him inside one of the assessment rooms and enter the other after pushing him inside.

Tang Ruan clicked his tongue when they heard the voices behind him saying that a lost fairy wandering in their building or a goddess just descended. He ignored them and entered his assigned assessment room.

The area behind the room where Ye Qiuji was pushed inside by his friend had three examiners startled by his arrival more because of his appearance. When Ye Qiuji looked back and showed his whole face to them, they were even more dumbfounded.

“...Did you come to the right place?”

Ye Qiuji with an entertained smile on his face nodded several times.

The lead examiner was delighted, “Not bad. Young Fellow, you’re pretty smart.”

Another examiner asked, “Tell us, what position are you aiming for?”

“C-Position.” Replied Ye Qiuji.

The examiner’s expression suddenly turned solemn, “You have courage. Okay then, come and do a test first.”

As the curtain to one side slowly pulled back, Ye Qiuji’s smile widened when he saw the open space nearly 2 times the size of his little brother’s floor room. Throughout the space, obstacles were randomly placed and the whole place looked like an equestrian training ground. At the entrance to the space, there were two rows of fully equipped weapon racks. From cold steel weapons to guns, to small cannons and more.

Ye Qiuji walked towards the weapons and picked a few guns. Dissembling them and then reassembling them once again. The examiners watched his action with gleaming eyes as if they’d seen a treasure. At that moment Ye Qiuji’s silver hair turned gray, the same as his crimson eyes. He resembles Ye Wusheng a bit more in this appearance.

Ye Qiuji finished playing through with the weapon inventory. “These collections are too little.”

The three examiners had pleasant, benign expressions on their faces as they patted him on his shoulders. “It’s limited because it’s only an interview. Inside the field, there will be more varieties, but you have to look for them yourself. Although this is not as good as the genuine survival reality show, we have all the basics. Well then since you’ve finished picking your weapons, please get ready!”

3 minutes later, the door to the assessment room opened again. Ye Qiuji who completely left traces of destruction on the field went out without even breaking a sweat but there’s a slight satisfying smile on his face.

The expression of the three examiners looked silly with all their mouths agape open and eyes widened. They were completely shocked and speechless by what they had witnessed.

Ye Qiuji had to wave his hands in front of their eyes a few times before they returned to normal. The lead examiner with a huge grin on his face held Qiuji’s hand with both hands shaking it with excitement in his eyes.

Lead Examiner said. “W-Welcome. Welcome... Congratulations, you no longer have to enter the audition competition and have been accepted as a regular artist of our entertainment!”

Ye Qiuji said, “But I want to play in auditions too. I want to be a trainee instead.”

Other Examiners pushed away their leader and spoke.

“No worries. Mr. Ye Qiu can start below if you want. We will accept you first as a trainee if that is what you wanted.”

“Yes. Yes. Play as much as you want.”

The Lead Examiner raised his hand, “I will send you to the audition arena!” When he said this, the other two examiners glowered at them, looking at him like he was some kind of sly old man. The lead examiner proudly smirked at them when he saw his companion’s ugly expressions.

Not long after a panicked examiner entered their assessment room without knocking and whispered something in the lead examiner’s ears.

Their eyes glimmered and looked at Ye Qiuji when they heard what was told to them about another examiner who seems to come with the beauty before them.

“Mr. Ye, did you register with a friend? It seems he wants the scout position. Are you partners?” an examiner asked.

Ye Qiuji, “It must be Ruru. Yes, we came together. Can we even partner up?”

The examiners smiled, “You can. After the solo audition competition, we will make sure you are added together as a team with Mr. Ru. Please come with me I -”

Before the lead examiner escorted him to the arena the other examiner and producer pulled him back and sent the young examiner to send this pair of heavenly talents in the area instead.

Once Ye Qiuji and Tang Ruan were sent away. They had a serious conversation as they watched the video taken of the whole interview of Ye Qiuji and Tang Ruan. Starting a heated dispute with the program producer.

“His way of handing guns and any types of weapons were close to flawless, but he looks lazy even though the strength hidden behind his actions was solid. He is a great heavenly beauty as well.”

“Mr. Ru is a silent man. He is quite handsome as well and his skills with sniping are top-class. They balance each other completely.”

“They will surely be a great pair in the show!”

“One is an exquisite beauty while the other is a cool beauty!”

The program producer made the final call. “Perfect. Send them both to the audition in half an hour!”

A few hours later Tang Ruan and Ye Qiuji were stuffed inside the car and brought to the audition arena which will begin within half an hour. Since the two of them were the last batch, the other players were already inside the plane while they were still changing their clothes in the changing room. It’s a uniform suit with the Snowflake on the chest. The first scene of the virtual game is about riding on a plane where they will be brought to the game field.

Ye Qiuji asked while arranging his clothes, “Found Wu’er and Zi’er?”

historical

Tang Ruan replied while helping him with his boss’s clothes. “Found. They’ve entered the arena ahead of us. We seem to be the last batch.”

“Upon landing, we temporarily separated. Use fireworks to indicate found.” Commanded Ye Qiuji.

Tang Ruan who just finished wearing his uniform, “Affirmative.”

After that, all contestants including the two were herded inside the plane. In the cabin, Ye Qiuji and Tang Ruan were surrounded by tall, muscular, and strong-looking men. Dozens of people were crowded together inside the narrow cabin and only the slender Ye Qiuji as well as Tang Ruan were slightly comfortable.

Ye Qiuji even decided to close his eyes and nap. Tang Ruan on the other hand secures his and his lazy boss’s supply box and parachute. The cabin is so quiet, and no one dared to speak but when they saw the appearance of Tang Ruan and Ye Qiuji beside them they couldn’t help but double take a look at them in disbelief.

All of a sudden Ye Qiuji opened his closed eyes and stood up, taking his supply and parachute at the same time. Tang Ruan followed him and stood as well. While others were looking at them like idiots, they saw the windows of the cabin opening.

With a playful smile on his face Ye Qiuji with a supply box he tied on his waist, unhesitantly jumped off the place with a Woohoo sound from his mouth. They can hear him falling while laughing.

Tang Ruan mumbled while stepping on his feet, “They haven’t said you may begin, and you’ve already jumped! Sigh~~” but he still jumped after his little boss.

Not long after that, a harsh radio broadcast crackled within the opened cabin. ‘We have arrived at our destination. Contestants, please enter the field!’

The stunned players were finally brought back to life and nearly every player, except for the initial two who jumped ahead, narrowed their eyes and looked down. Immediately below them was the boundary where the grassland and hills met.

There was a river winding down from the ridge, and most likely due to the dim skies, the entire landscape looked dark and gloomy. They’ve seen two silhouettes falling from the sky with opened parachutes entering the forest.

They seemed to separate from each other intentionally. One by one the players jumped off the plane and entered the field. The competition officially began.

With the hill becoming clearer and birds scattering in his presence, Ye Qiuji controlled his parachute and landed near the river, and found a huge weapon arsenal supply box. As soon as he landed, he was able to secure weapons and resources as he needed but took only what he needed as he was too lazy to bring anything heavy with him.

In Ye Qiuji’s possession a pair of high caliber handguns, a pair of daggers, one Barrett black rifle, two pouches of bullets, and a backpack full of food and resources. Taking one camouflage blanket on him he once again entered the forest. Not forgetting to leave binding traps around the supply box. After that, they heard an announcement.

‘151st audition, 300 Contestants have officially assembled!’

‘Tartarus Field’s yearly Survival Gun Game Show is your dream stage!’

‘Three famous mentors, top-of-the-line resources! Survive through despair and make a hot-blooded escape! Untangle high-difficulty decryptions and engage in passionate confrontation! It’s a feast of fighting and killing!’

‘Tartarus Field Audition Competition stage is not open!’

Not long after within the forest field of Tartarus, countless guns fired, explosions, and battles began. Ye Qiuji’s part of the forest was the quietest as he is currently seating on top of the huge supply box and is now currently eating snacks. He’s surrounded by puddles of blood and corpses.

Because his suit is colored in black, the blood covering him was not visible if not for his exposed hands which are completely dyed with the blood of his enemies, Ye Qiuji still looks so jolly with his playful smirk and lethargic demeanor. In the span of half an hour, Ye Qiuji had already killed 15 players.

Behind the scenes of the Crossover Survival Reality Show. The surveillance video from the Tartarus Forest would not be edited and released, and only a few staff members could see the internal surveillance broadcast.

“Distinguished sponsors, please believe me when I say that our contestants from the current program are the most promising ones to date.”

“They are top trainees from various entertainment companies and professionals that won’t lose out to professional survival contestants. They have the strongest physique and are most adept at survival skills.”

On the screen, a series of surveillance images showed fierce gun battles, hand-to-hand combat with their naked bodies, and cooperative team hunting.
