Huh? Isn't This A Galgame?
Chapter 303 - 254: If it can’t be solved once, try twice

Chapter 303: Chapter 254: If it can’t be solved once, try twice

Set the content of the next mainline task such that just one go will allow you to pass?

What is the broad scope of this cooperation type? If the [loyalist] faction can also count as cooperative teammates now, then does his designated task apply to other loyalists as well?

Probably not. Although the loyalists have the same ultimate goal, they aren’t in a strict cooperative relationship; as long as the queen and the princess ensure no issues arise, it doesn’t really matter whether other loyalists can smoothly clear the task or are willing to cooperate.

Moreover, it’s evident that the first mainline task given to fellow loyalists, Hu Jiayao and Yin Zhi’en, isn’t the same as his own.

Wen Nan doesn’t need to worry about others having to do unspeakable things because of his choice, otherwise, this instance might turn into a raunchy romp, and this map would become a spectacle.

Since this next mainline task is exclusive to him, Wen Nan decides to design it properly—whether it’s one person, two people, or... all of them together?

While lost in thought, suddenly, a strange sensation akin to a cork being pushed into a wine bottle emerged.

Wen Nan’s breath hitched, collected his thoughts, and looked at Guan Ailin.

Guan Ailin’s cheeks grew even redder, her eyes fell shyly as she whispered, "The task settlement is over; it’s... it’s not something I can control..."

"Is that so?" Wen Nan smiled lightly, accepting the clumsy little lie, leaned over, and gently kissed Guan Ailin’s sweaty cheek, "Maybe it’s your new skin that’s too cold, and the system isn’t getting used to it, so it’s trying to heat up."

Guan Ailin raised a hand and gently pushed against Wen Nan’s chest, "Nonsense..."

But the settlement process of mainline task one did end at this time.

A prompt within the settlement system signaled a transition—

[Congratulations, player! Mainline task 1 is officially over!]

[Moving on to the countdown for mainline task 2—]

[12:00:00—]

[11:59:59—]

Wen Nan was taken aback.

Did the break time between these two mainline tasks return?

This might be an adjustment made to maintain consistency, considering other players haven’t finished the previous task yet?

Regardless, he gained an extra 12 hours of rest time.

Sleep? That’s impossible; obviously, it’s for sleeping with someone.

Wen Nan pulled out a [Sleep Capsule] and a [Nutrition Supplement] from the equipment spare slot and took them together.

Seeing Wen Nan’s actions, Guan Ailin smiled bashfully, then raised her arms and legs, wrapping them around Wen Nan’s body, invitingly asking him, "Does this pose look like the pattern, I’m the little snake, and you’re the little chick..."

Wen Nan chuckled, "That’s the dragon embracing the pig."

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

If it were before, Wen Nan could have let Guan Ailin experience the double dragons playing with pearls, but unfortunately, it’s not possible now, but one dragon still has its advantages.

Thinking of this, Wen Nan wrapped his arms around Guan Ailin’s waist, asking her, "President Guan, would you like a one-dragon service?"

Guan Ailin laughed, "Give it a try; let me see the standard?"

Just as Wen Nan was about to act, his vision suddenly went black.

Then, his body seemed to fall into an endless abyss, spinning and descending continuously.

Is this... being whisked into a new map?

It shouldn’t be; his current instance’s second mainline task hasn’t started yet, so why change maps suddenly? Could it be an accidental entry into an illusion?

Although full of doubts, Wen Nan still skillfully tidied his clothes as he fell.

Finally, upon a stable landing, his surroundings remained pitch black, feeling as though he stood atop a dead sea, eerie and cold all around.

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

Surrounded by 12 peculiar runes, the runes pulsed with dimming and brightening light, much like breathing.

Seeing the familiar runes, Wen Nan immediately realized the answer—Divine Staff Sheath.

Indeed, the next moment, the light screen above illuminated with golden brilliance as the prompt appeared—

[Welcome to the Divine Staff Sheath—Sword Holder Candidate Qualification Test—Exclusive Space]

Sword Holder? Qualification test?

Has the Divine Staff Sheath he was bound to already reached its term so soon?

Since temporarily binding it, Wen Nan hadn’t paid attention to the binding countdown within the Divine Staff Sheath, mainly because this is an intermediate map and significant figures possessing the Divine Staff Fragment, he thought, would not enter such low-level games.

However, it seems he forgot about that person’s existence—the individual always appeared in a character role, making Wen Nan momentarily forget they were a player too.

Thinking of this, Wen Nan unconsciously lowered his head to look into his palm, where a circular controlling pattern faintly glowed with golden light.

If it’s just the two of them, the matter seems relatively simple...

With that in mind, Wen Nan looked around.

The hovering light screen above, like a massive full moon, illuminated some of the otherwise completely dark environment slightly.

This dark space was much larger than Wen Nan had imagined, covering an area about 1.5 times larger than T University’s campus.

Wen Nan’s gaze quickly locked onto a slender figure in black shirt and pants directly in front of him.

As expected...

Just as his lips began to curl, his gaze passed over that figure, spotting another figure behind them.

Another third person?!

In such a small intermediate instance, there are actually three players owning the Divine Staff Fragment?
