Seeing Chen Mu like this, Xiao Ye quickly went over and looked at the newspaper in Chen Mu's hand.
In Chen Mu's hand was the first newspaper titled "Overall Landscape Interview Report".
It was in this newspaper that a detailed description was given of the city that was about to be destroyed by nuclear war.
A world filled with peace, tranquility, and kindness, without a trace of violence.
Chen Mu stared at the newspaper in his hand, his eyes sliding between the lines, imprinting this city deeply into his mind.
At the same time, a bold, even "unorthodox" idea slowly emerged in Chen Mu's mind.
A few minutes later, Chen Mu read the entire newspaper from beginning to end.
At this moment, the wall clock had already ticked past four minutes.
Only one minute remains before the city in the mirror is destroyed.
Chen Mu put down the newspaper and walked towards the mirror that stood not far away.
Xiao Ye followed closely behind Chen Mu towards the mirror. He thought Chen Mu was about to go to the city, and that there might not be enough time, perhaps even a minute.
However, to Xiaoye's surprise, when Chen Mu walked to the mirror, he didn't step into it, but instead did something Xiaoye hadn't expected.
Chen Mu reached out and turned the mirror around, so that his back was to the two of them.
"Boss, what's wrong with you...?"
Chen Mu looked at Xiao Ye and patted her on the shoulder. "Forget about that city that's supposed to be destroyed. If the BOSS wants it destroyed, then let him be. Anyway, that city is just a strange scene."
Xiaoye didn't care much about whether the city was destroyed or not. He also didn't care whether the city in the mirror was a strange scene.
But the key point is that the city in the mirror is the location of the interviews on page 1001 of the newspaper.
If the city is destroyed, where will they go to conduct interviews?
Xiao Ye looked at his boss in astonishment. He knew that his boss must have his reasons for doing this.
Xiao Ye simply couldn't understand what Chen Mu was thinking.
Xiao Ye had no idea what her boss was trying to do.
The next second, Chen Mu picked up the newspaper with the "Overall Landscape Interview Report" and asked Xiao Ye a question that struck at the heart of the matter:
"Does our interview location have to be that city?"
Xiaoye paused for a moment, unsure how to respond.
If someone else asked that question, Xiaoye would just think that person must be out of their mind.
If it's not the city in the mirror, what other place could it be?
According to the editor-in-chief's bizarre statement, the mirror can identify the interview location.
Once an interview assignment is received, the mirror will automatically identify the destination and deliver the interviewer to the designated target.
Without a doubt, the interview location in this newspaper is the city transmitted by the mirror.
But these words came from the eldest brother's mouth.
Xiaoye was momentarily caught in a state of "left and right brain fighting each other".
Seeing Xiaoye's confused look, Chen Mu revealed a mysterious smile.
Chen Mu pointed to the newspaper and said, "I just read every single sentence carefully. I found that the newspaper didn't mention any place names or coordinates to specify the interview location at all."
Its description of the interview location is based on the environment, temperature, the words and actions of the citizens, and the friendliness and harmony of the city.
Then I'd like to ask in return, was the war-torn city that the mirror just transported us to such a peaceful and tranquil city?
Xiaoye shook her head subconsciously, "Of course not."
"So what should we do?" Chen Mu asked.
"Of course, it's about preventing nuclear war and then transforming the city into the city described in the newspapers," Xiaoye said, following the train of thought.
Chen Mu shook his head and offered a different perspective.
"No, Xiaoye, this is the conventional way of thinking. This way of thinking actually implies a consensus among all of us and the BOSS—"
This war-torn city is not the city described in the newspapers. This means that the place the mirror is projecting is not the location we are going to for our interview.
And this is the real solution I've found!
Xiaoye didn't react for a moment after hearing what her boss said.
Does the boss mean that the place the mirror transmits the message to is not the interview location?
Wouldn't that be worse? No, isn't this a consensus? Precisely because it's not an interview location, we need to transform it and turn it into one.
The modification process is one of the most labor-intensive parts of the bizarre mission.
At this point, the clock on the wall had already ticked past five minutes.
The city reflected in the mirror has already begun nuclear war.
Chen Mu said, "Xiao Ye, your mind is still not open. You need to break through the shackles of your thinking and think in bolder directions."
Indeed, the city reflected in the mirror was not the location of the interview.
Does this mean that the actual interview locations reported in the newspapers don't actually exist at all?
Faced with a non-existent interview location, the conventional approach, like Xiaoye's, is to transform the city, expending considerable effort to convert it into an interview location featured in the newspaper.
This is the thought of normal players, and also the thought of the bizarre BOSS.
The cunning BOSS wants us to do this, so it sets up numerous obstacles for us on this path, doing everything it can to prevent me from using my trump card.
If we follow this line of thinking, then we'll fall into the BOSS's trap, and we're doomed!
Actually, it just occurred to me that besides this line of thinking, there's another path we can take.
Xiao Ye was confused. He quickly asked, "Boss, what other way is there?"
“Since the interview location doesn’t even exist yet, instead of transforming a city, why not… create one?” Chen Mu said, enunciating each word clearly.
“We will create an interview location ourselves.”
Upon hearing this, Xiaoye was completely stunned.
Should we create an interview location?
According to Xiaoye's understanding, the interview location in the mirror is a strange scene, and it is also the place where players need to complete the interview.
This is quite normal. After all, in a bizarre mission, there must be a bizarre scene for players to complete the mission.
And the eerie BOSS, naturally, is the creator of the eerie scenes.
Players must find clues to survive in the bizarre scenes created by the BOSS.
But Chen Mu's thoughts, translated, are—
We're doing a spooky quest, but the spooky scenario given by the spooky boss is too difficult, and I don't want to modify it. How about this: I won't use the boss's spooky scenario; instead, I'll create my own to do the spooky quest for myself.
"Boss, is it still possible to play like this?" Xiaoye asked uncertainly.
They accepted the BOSS's bizarre mission, but instead of using the BOSS's bizarre setting, they created their own bizarre setting.
Xiaoye really wanted to ask, had any players dared to play like this before?
