Ah? This isn't a love game?

Chapter 254 If you can’t solve it once, try twice

Set the content of the next main task so that you can pass it with just one shot?

I wonder how broad this type of cooperation refers to? If their [loyalists] camp can now be considered as cooperative teammates, then does the task he specifies also apply to other loyalists?
Probably not. Although their loyal ministers have the same ultimate goal, they are not in a strict cooperative relationship. As long as the queen and the princess are safe, it doesn't really matter whether other loyal ministers can pass the test smoothly or are willing to cooperate.

And it is obvious that in the first main mission, the tasks given to Hu Jiayao and Yin Zhien, who are also loyal ministers, are different from his.

Then Wen Nan doesn't have to worry about other people being forced to do unspeakable things because of his choice. Otherwise, this copy would probably be turned into a piece of yellow gold by him, and this map would become an impact.

Since this next main mission is his own, Wen Nan decides to plan it carefully - is it one person, two people, or... them all together?

Just as I was lost in thought, I suddenly felt a strange cork being pressed into a wine bottle.

Wen Nan's breathing stagnated, he gathered his thoughts and looked at Guan Ailin.

Guan Ailin's cheeks became redder and she lowered her eyes guiltily, whispering, "The mission is settled, it's over. It's... it's that floating light screen that's going to jump. It's not something I can control..."

"Really?" Wen Nan chuckled, accepting the other party's clumsy little lie, leaning down and gently kissing Guan Ailin's wet cheek covered with a layer of sweat, "Maybe your new skin is too cold, and the system is a little uncomfortable, so you want to light a fire."

Guan Ailin raised her hand and gently pushed Wen Nan's chest, "Nonsense..."

But the settlement phase of the main mission 1 did end at this time.

In the system built into the settlement point, the prompt jumps to——

[Congratulations to the players! Main Mission 1 is officially over! ]

[Now enter the main mission 2 and start the countdown——]

【12:00:00——】

【11:59:59——】

Wen Nan was stunned.

Is there a rest time between the two main tasks this time?

Could this be an adjustment made to maintain consistency considering that other players have not yet completed the previous mission?
In any case, he got an extra 12 hours of rest.

Sleeping? Not really, of course it's the sleeping person.

Wen Nan took out a [Sleeping Capsule] and a [Nutritional Supplement] from the spare equipment column and took them together.

Seeing Wen Nan's actions, Guan Ailin smiled shyly, then raised her hands and feet and took the initiative to wrap them around Wen Nan. With an air of seeking credit, she asked him softly, "Does it look like the posture in the pattern? I'm the little snake, and you're the little chicken..."

Wen Nan chuckled, "That's a dragon hugging a pig."

"...Dragon?" Guan Ailin recalled the pattern she had seen not long ago and nodded, "No wonder it has six legs."

If it were in the past, Wen Nan could let Guan Ailin see two dragons playing with a pearl, but it is a pity that it is not possible now. However, being a dragon also has its advantages.

Thinking of this, Wen Nan put his arm around Guan Ailin's waist and asked her, "Boss Guan, do you want a one-stop service?"

Guan Ailin smiled and said, "Give me a set. Let me see what level you are at."

Wen Nan was about to take action when suddenly his vision went dark.

Then, the body seemed to fall into an endless abyss, spinning and falling continuously.

Is this... involved in a new map?
This shouldn't be the case. He hasn't even started the second main quest of this dungeon yet. Why would the map suddenly change? Did he accidentally enter some fantasy world?
Although he was full of questions, Wen Nan still tidied his clothes skillfully while falling.

Finally, when he landed safely, it was still pitch black around him. He seemed to be standing on a dead sea. Everything was gloomy and cold.

A moment later, a huge light screen suddenly appeared above his head.

The light screen was surrounded by 12 special runes. The runes seemed to be breathing, emitting flickering light.

The moment he saw the familiar rune, Wen Nan immediately had the answer in his mind - the sheath of the divine staff.

Sure enough, the next moment, the light screen above his head lit up with golden light, and a prompt appeared:

[Welcome to the Scepter of the Scepter - Scepter Candidate Qualification Test - Exclusive Space]

Sheath bearer? Qualification test?

The sheath of the divine staff that he had bound before expired so soon?
Ever since the temporary binding, Wen Nan has not paid attention to the binding countdown in the sheath of the Scepter. The main reason is that this is an intermediate map now, and he thinks that the big guys who have the Scepter fragments will not come to such a fish pond game.

However, he seemed to have forgotten the existence of that person - the other party had always appeared as a character, which made Wen Nan forget for a moment that he was also a player.

Thinking of this, Wen Nan lowered his head unconsciously and looked at the palm of his hand. There was a faint golden light floating on the circular driving pattern there.

If it was just the two of them, this matter would seem to become very simple...

Thinking of this, Wen Nan raised his head and looked around.

The floating light screen that lit up above the head was like a huge full moon, illuminating the originally dark environment.

This dark space is larger than Wen Nan expected, and its area is about 1.5 times that of T University campus.

Wen Nan's sight quickly locked onto a thin figure in front of him, wearing a black shirt and black pants.

really……

The corners of his lips were about to curl up when his eyes passed over that figure and saw another figure behind the other person.

There's a third person?!
In this small intermediate copy, there are actually 3 players who possess the fragments of the divine scepter?

Just as I was thinking about it, I saw the light screen above my head continue to jump -

[There are 3 candidates for this sheath bearer, and the candidates are listed as follows:

Candidate No. 1: holds 2.5 fragments (pending confirmation);
Candidate No. 2: holds 1 fragments (pending confirmation);
Candidate No. 3: holds 0.5 fragments (pending confirmation). 】

【Please all candidates confirm whether to participate in this qualification test. 】

[Note: If you give up the test, you will be removed from the space immediately. If you confirm your participation, you will not be allowed to leave the test in the middle of the test. ]

Wen Nan must be the 0.5.

He only had half of the control pattern that he had exchanged for the replica fragments, and the remaining half was in the hands of candidate No. 1.

Unexpectedly... his little slave, a player who had no name in any of the six major guilds and nine legends, actually held two full fragments in addition to the half fragment of the driving pattern?

Thinking of this, Wen Nan couldn't help but smiled and shook his head, complaining in his heart -

What kind of person is this? He is simply a dog that takes all the blame. He has already got two fragments. Back then in the trial map, I had to fight with him for the replica fragment in his hand.

So you're in such a hurry to collect the fragments? This is the best candidate for the sheath bearer, right?

To be honest, Wen Nan himself doesn't want to be the Sheath Bearer, and doesn't want to be bound forever by the task of "needing to search for the lost fragments of the Scepter without stopping." But, it seems like it would be nice if the person he was controlling could be the Sheath Bearer, right?
The task was on the other person's shoulders. He controlled the other person, and the other person collected the fragments. If it failed, the responsibility was not on Wen Nan. If it succeeded, and the other person really ascended the so-called throne, Wen Nan could also become the man behind the throne with the golden control pattern in his hand.

It sounds like a good choice.

Therefore, in fact, in this qualification test, as long as candidate No. 2 does not win, Wen Nan will not lose.

Just as I was thinking about it, I saw the message on the light screen above my head jump again -

[Candidate qualification test confirmation countdown: 10——]

The countdown only lasted two seconds before three players, including Wen Nan, all clicked to confirm.

After all three "pending confirmation" were changed to "confirmed participation", a new prompt began to scroll on the screen:

【All three candidates have confirmed their participation in this sheath holder qualification test. The question bank will be drawn below.】

[The Scepter of the Gods will try to extract the test content that best matches all the test takers based on the comprehensive situation of the existing candidates. ]

[There are 3 candidates in total this time, so 3 candidate test questions are drawn for selection...]

[Candidates are being matched and the question bank is being drawn. Please wait...]

[The question bank has been drawn. The Scepter of God now prepares the following three test questions for all the qualification test takers:

[Topic 1. Run for the pure land in your dreams! (Keywords for the topic: Break through the shackles)]

[Topic 2. As long as I want, everything in the world will kneel at my feet and become my slaves! (Keywords for this topic: Soul Control)]

[Topic 3. There is nothing that cannot be solved with one shot. If it can't be solved, then do it twice! (Keywords for the topic: extreme charm)]

At first glance, this question corresponds directly to the order of candidates 1 to 3.

The most suitable test for Wen Nan is definitely option 3.

Just as I was thinking about how to choose question 3, the prompt jumped again -

[Only one topic can be selected for this qualification test. Once the topic is finalized, it cannot be changed midway. All three qualification test takers must use the same set of topics. ]

[The right to choose the topic depends on the number of fragments held by the qualified test taker——

Candidate No. 1 has the highest priority and can directly select the topic for this election; if Candidate No. 1 gives up the right to choose, the right to choose the topic will be transferred to Candidate No. 2, and so on. 】

As the prompt appeared, the golden light on the overhead screen, like a spotlight, shone on the head of the thin figure in the center.

[Candidate No. 1, please confirm whether you would like to use the right to select the topic? ]

The figure raised his hand and was about to make a choice when the golden beam of light suddenly changed direction, moved away from the other person's head, and hit Wen Nan's head instead.

Wen Nan was startled, and then he saw the prompt on the screen -

[It is detected that Candidate No. 3 has a content judgment card, which is applicable to this qualification test. If Candidate No. 3 uses this judgment card, he will replace Candidate No. 1 and get the highest priority in topic selection. ]

[Candidate No. 3, please confirm whether to use the content judgment card to increase your selection rights? ]

Now the pressure is on Wen Nan.

Wen Nan looked at the figure in the middle. For some reason, he seemed to vaguely see that the other person's originally tense shoulders relaxed at this moment, as if a heavy burden had been pushed off.

But as soon as the bag was pushed out, it quickly returned.

Wen Nan raised his hand and clicked on [Reject], directly giving up on using the content judgment card.

The golden beam of light hit candidate No. 1's head again, and he visibly stiffened. Although he was hidden in the shadows and his face could not be seen clearly, Wen Nan had the feeling that he was looking at him with that "what are you doing" look again.

Wen Nan shrugged.

He simply didn't want to waste his only content judgment card.

This card will be used in the next main mission, which is more important to Wen Nan.

As for this qualification test, Wen Nan didn't care. The sheath of the divine staff was more like a burden to him. If Candidate No. 1 really cared about this thing, then let him take it.

Candidate No. 1 is in the "spotlight" and his face is very dark.

Candidate No. 1 has an even darker face than Candidate No. 2.

The other party seemed to be completely unable to understand. No. 1 and No. 3 flirted with each other and kicked such an important topic selection qualification back and forth like a ball. What did it mean? This is the sheath of the divine staff! This is a divine prop that symbolizes the highest throne! Why would someone like Le Se kick away the topic selection right of such an important thing?

Is this candidate number 3 sick?

Just as I was thinking about it, I saw candidate No. 1 finally click the confirmation button and got the priority right to choose the topic.

Although Candidate No. 2 felt disappointed, he was also glad that there was finally a normal opponent in this test.

But then, the man raised his hand and tapped on topic 3.

There are two candidates left, both of them are confused.

However, the choice has been made and cannot be changed, so I can only participate anyway.

On the light screen above my head, the topic introduction page slowly unfolded -

【Topic 3.
Background introduction:

When people are well fed and clothed, they will have sexual desires. The emergence of desires often requires a comfortable environment and a happy mood. But if they are in an extremely harsh environment, can humans still have desires and relieve them?
As a general, he should remain calm even if Mount Tai collapses in front of him, and not blink even if a deer appears on his left.

The courage required for this qualification test is far more than this——

The one holding the sheath, if Mount Tai collapses in front of him, he should climb Mount Tai; if a deer rises on his left, he should ride the deer.

A true warrior has the courage to turn fear into desire; this is the ultimate charm.

Only by achieving this step, the chosen one will be able to survive to the end in this chaotic world.

So, candidates, are you ready?
Test rules:

The Scabbard of the Scepter will explore the most feared target in your heart according to the situation of each test participant, visualize the target for you, and form a fear value for the target. The tester must try every means to convert the initial fear value of the test into a desire value.

The higher the conversion rate within the specified test time, the higher the score.

At the end of the test, the candidate with the highest score will be qualified as a candidate for the Sheath Bearer.

Note: During the test period, you can use any skills, props, equipment, or any means to obtain a higher conversion rate at all costs. 】

[The test countdown begins: 10:00:00——]
