After hearing Lilia's words, Chen Lin looked into the distance.

It turns out that the puppets in the town were transformed by the losers of the story contest.

But if I want to earn golden nightmare coins by performing on the street like this, I don’t know how long it will take.

It is impossible for any tourist to reward the Golden Nightmare Coin, let alone there are no tourists in this fairy tale town.

In other words, once you are eliminated, leaving here is even more unthinkable.

It may become a permanent part of the town.

Chen Lin's mind was spinning and he looked at Lilia.

"I don't have a golden way to lead, so I can't leave this hill. I'm afraid I can't participate in the competition on your behalf, and I will let you down."

"It doesn't matter."

Lilia shook the invitation in her hand.

"The invitation letter has the authority to lead, but it is only valid during the time of the story contest."

She looked at Chen Lin and said, "This is your only chance to leave. Although you are replacing me, it is also for yourself."

"Don't blame me for not reminding you. After every story competition, Fairy Tale Town will make adjustments. If you don't get the right to live, you will be forcibly excluded."

Lilia reminded him and handed the invitation letter to Chen Lin.

Chen Lin took a breath and knew that he had no choice but to take it.

Being forcibly excluded does not mean that you can leave safely.

If you fail to complete the task of leaving, leaving means death, and your body will mutate and turn into a mindless monster.

It would be better to die.

"The rules of the story contest are all in the invitation letter. You should understand it yourself. I hope you can get good results."

Lilia looked at the invitation, and as the golden light flickered, Chen Lin felt that there was some connection between himself and the invitation.

Lilia nodded with satisfaction, quickly shrank her body, and finally retracted into the hill.

Chen Lin wanted to call out to the other party, but gave up after thinking about it.

Although this mushroom has the same intelligence as humans, it is still a creature from the nightmare world and cannot really be treated like a normal person.

After waiting for a while, seeing that the other party did not come out again, Chen Lin focused on the invitation letter.

Open it gently and read the contents above.

There are several pages in total, densely packed with tiny characters, exuding unique energy fluctuations.

Chen Lin read page after page carefully. After reading them all, he put his eyes away and began to think.

According to the rules described above, the top ten in the competition will be rewarded with gold nightmare coins.

The top three will receive a special reward on top of the gold nightmare coins.

And the first place can also choose an additional treasure from the treasure list!

The rewards can be said to be very generous.

Not to mention other rewards, there are ten gold nightmare coins for first place, five for second place, and three for third place.

The fourth to tenth places all have two coins.

But corresponding to this is harsh punishment.

Everyone except the top ten will be punished.

Especially the last ten, the punishment is extremely severe, and the last one needs to pay a fine of one hundred gold nightmare coins!

One hundred Nightmare Coins is simply unimaginable. Even a traveling merchant might not be able to come up with it.

However, if you are not among the last ten, you only need to pay one gold nightmare coin to be exempted from punishment.

This level is barely acceptable.

Chen Lin closed the invitation letter.

Thinking about the conversation with Lilia.

The other party said that you need to win the first place in the competition before you can get the permission to leave. This should mean that you can choose the reward item on the treasure list.

He didn't know what a treasure list was, but since it was called a list, the number of treasures would certainly not be small.

There should be something exempt from mission penalties.

But he had no experience in this story contest, so he wanted to win first place, which was a bit wishful thinking.

My biggest hope right now is to try not to be ranked in the bottom ten.

He also has a golden nightmare coin. As long as he is not in the bottom ten, he can at least save his life and wait for the next story competition.

"Your Excellency Lilia, can you tell me the details of the story contest?"

Chen Lin adjusted his mood and asked the place where the mushroom disappeared.

After careful consideration, he decided to participate in the story contest.

After all, as long as you don't get into the bottom ten, there's no danger.

And if he escapes into the fiefdom now and offends the owner of the mushroom hut, he may not be able to come back here even if he gets the gold level four guide, and will have to wander in the nightmare world from now on.

This was by no means the result he wanted.

If he really gets to the last ten, he will summon grass, activate the Thunder God Sword itself, and try to break through the boundary wall of the scene.

You can also use the last golden nightmare coin to see if you can summon Niu Niu.

Even if these don't work, it's okay.

The worst ending is just to become a puppet and earn fines here. Although the earnings are not huge, it is not completely wiped out. There is still hope.

However, after waiting for a long time, there was no response from the other party.

Chen Lin frowned.

He immediately asked: "Since you asked me to replace you, I should provide some help. If I get a good ranking, it will also represent your face, right?"

Still no response.

The other party seems to have left.

Chen Lin was sullen in his heart, but he had no choice but to give up asking for help.

Next, let’s think about how to deal with the story contest.

According to the record on the invitation letter, the story contest will start in ten days. There is not much time. He must take advantage of this time to figure out what kind of story he wants to tell in the contest.

"Children from all over the world?"

Chen Lin muttered.

He doesn't know what kind of stories children like, and what's more, they are facing all the worlds. The environment and background of each interface are different, and the preferences cannot be the same.

Furthermore, he was an old man when he traveled back in time. He was busy cultivating and had no chance to come into contact with any fairy tales.

If you want to use it, you can only use it from the previous life.

Chen Lin felt a little difficult.

If he made it up himself, he could actually make it up. Based on his experience, it would be easy to create several stories.

But whether it can be recognized is difficult to guarantee.

As Lilia said, children's preferences make no sense at all and are really difficult to grasp.

As the matter was serious, Chen Lin thought about it and felt that professional people should be trusted in professional matters.

Although those fairy tales in his previous life were very childish in his opinion, there must be a reason why they are loved by so many children on the earth.

The thinking of adults and children is completely different.

He feels that good stories may not necessarily be liked by children. He feels that childish stories may have enough ups and downs for children.

It's too complicated and not easily understood by children.

After confirming it, Chen Lin began to think hard.

He never imagined that one day he would use fairy tales from his past life, so when consolidating his past life memory, he did not touch on this knowledge point.

It's been over two thousand years since I traveled back in time, and I didn't deliberately remember it. The memory is too vague.

I thought about it for a whole day and a night before I stopped.

Fortunately, the immortal cultivator has an amazing memory and has the ability to compress and store memories. With his unremitting efforts, he finally remembered a few very famous stories.

Although I cannot restore it completely, I can still recall some of the general storyline.

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

Little match girl.

Ugly duckling.
