The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 3758 The gatekeeper is such a snob!

"Is this the trial area?"

Lin Chen looked at the empty space in front of him, glanced around, and spotted several figures.

Huh, are these people that fast?

I have been advancing without stopping, breaking through the levels with unstoppable momentum. At such a speed, how could so many people still beat me to it? It can only be said that there are many experts out there.

Lin Chen himself was aware of his disadvantages. This was his first time participating in the God of War game. Although Yu Qianfan had given him a brief introduction, it was rather superficial.

Despite having participated in the Heavenly God Celebration and the Heavenly God Paradise, Yu Qianfan, as the leader of a sect, was ultimately just a nobody.

He's probably still searching for a suitable challenge to complete and earn gifts.

Those geniuses from the holy lands were clearly already aware of the various unspoken rules of the paradise. They rushed straight in, and with their status as guardians, the gatekeepers naturally gave them preferential treatment.

Yes, that's normal.

Who doesn't have prejudices?

Although it's very unfair, it's the reality.

In fact, the rules of the Heavenly Paradise are certainly well understood by all the holy lands. To them, it is fair to some extent, but it is not so friendly to disciples of some weak forces.

Lin Chen was undoubtedly an anomaly among the fish, so the people who had already arrived looked at him with utter astonishment.

Lin Chen was not intimidated and took the initiative to walk towards them.

Does spending a full day in the trial zone include internal strife?
If it's the players battling each other, it won't be easy to stay for a full day.

For a normal player, as long as they are strong enough, have the right strategy, and are good at hiding, the probability of passing the level is not low. But for someone of a different race, if it were a chaotic battle, wouldn't they be the first to be surrounded and eliminated?

Wasn't this how the struggle for the Chen Ancestor's inheritance was conducted in the Holy Domain before?

Lin Chen stopped in front of the group, cupped his hands and said, "I am Lin Chen from the Eleventh District, Tianhe Sect. May I ask you fellow Daoists, what is the game rule for staying in this trial area for 24 hours?"

After a pause, Lin Chen added, "This is my first time here, and I don't know the rules very well. The gatekeeper outside didn't explain it to me either."

Even though asking for advice might still result in discrimination and being ignored by these people, Lin Chen still asked.

It's important to understand the rules, even if you get ridiculed.

Upon hearing Lin Chen's words, the expressions on the faces of the people sitting cross-legged were quite complicated.

This is my first time participating, and I have absolutely no experience. How did I manage to get here so quickly?

Somewhat capable.

A woman in white robes said coldly, "Before answering your question, tell me how you got here so quickly?"

Lin Chen answered frankly, "The first gatekeeper's challenge for me was to find another person who seemed to be a gatekeeper or a specific individual, beat him up, and retrieve his magical artifact..."

Before Lin Chen could finish speaking, the men and women all wore strange expressions, as if they wanted to laugh but also felt it was inappropriate.

Although the opponent is from another race, it's their first time participating, and they were unaware of the unspoken rules. The fact that they managed to get here so quickly proves their strength. Those with sufficient power should be treated with more respect.

Even if the other party's identity as a different race is looked down upon, their abilities still subconsciously command respect.

Looking at the expressions of the others, Lin Chen knew that the gatekeeper had tricked him. In fact, when he saw the task list, he knew that the task was definitely one of the more difficult ones.

If you're even slightly weaker, you might not only fail to complete the mission, but you could also get a good beating from the other side, returning with a bruised and swollen face, becoming a laughingstock in the eyes of the gatekeeper.

Lin Chen continued, "I inquired about the rules carefully and found that there was more than one task. So I threatened the gatekeeper, demanded that he take out the task list and let me choose, or I would beat him up."

Their eyes lit up. Wow, this alien race is ruthless.

Regardless of his strength, in the game of Gods, it takes a lot of courage for someone of a different race to forcefully threaten the gatekeeper. After all, if things go wrong, he could suffer a devastating blow.

That's brave!

Lin Chen continued, "So, I chose an easier task, and after completing it, you pass the level. The first five levels are the same. The sixth level is about entering a space, winning against three people in a row, and then you pass..."

The expressions on everyone's faces grew increasingly strange: "Three wins in a row?"

Lin Chen countered, "Aren't you the same?"

The group looked at each other, and for a moment they all fell silent.

Looking at everyone's expressions, Lin Chen smiled wryly and said, "Looks like I've been tricked by the gatekeeper again?"

In the crowd, a younger man's eyes showed a hint of sympathy: "Normally, defeating two people is enough. Of course, the gatekeeper has some authority; after all, it's just a game, not something to be strictly enforced..."

I definitely got scammed!
Lin Chen cursed inwardly, thinking that none of these gatekeepers were good people.

Snob!
Serve different dishes to different people!
It was supposed to be two wins, but I changed it to three. Although adding one more might not seem like much, those who have reached this stage are all elites. The difference in the cost of fighting two consecutive battles versus three is huge, and both require winning, which drastically reduces the probability of success.

Hearing the other party's reply, Lin Chen relaxed his guard a little.

Although the other party still looked at him with a complicated and somewhat condescending gaze, they were willing to answer his questions. This showed that, on the one hand, they still had some recognition of his achievements. After all, in terms of strength, if they didn't recognize him, wouldn't that be a disrespect for them?

On the other hand, the fact that they were willing to answer questions and the atmosphere didn't seem too tense suggests that the rules here are not about competing against each other to determine who is better.
Simply put, they shouldn't be enemies with me in this trial area. Otherwise, they wouldn't need to waste words with me; they could just join forces and carry me out first. Why bother talking to me?

"Looks like we're being targeted again."

Lin Chen asked again, "Could you tell me what the rules are here?"

The woman who had asked the question earlier replied, "Each of you must use your own abilities to survive for one day. You can use magical artifacts to tough it out, but you cannot hide in spatial artifacts or the like."

Lin Chen immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "So what do we need to face? Monsters, or pre-planned opponents?"

The woman replied, "Not necessarily. It could be a harsh environment, or a powerful enemy. We'll only know once we face it."

Lin Chen nodded and solemnly cupped his hands in greeting: "Thank you for your guidance, fellow Daoist."

The woman sized Lin Chen up and down, then asked, "Your appearance is quite similar to that of the Celestial Race. Where are you from?"
