Huh? Isn't This A Galgame?
Chapter 304 - 254: If it can’t be solved once, try twice_2

Chapter 304: Chapter 254: If it can’t be solved once, try twice_2

As he thought about it, he saw the screen above his head continue to switch—

[This time there are a total of 3 Sword Holder candidates, the statistical situation of the candidates is as follows—

Candidate No. 1: Holding 2.5 Fragments (pending confirmation);

Candidate No. 2: Holding 1 Fragment (pending confirmation);

Candidate No. 3: Holding 0.5 Fragment (pending confirmation).]

[Please all candidates confirm whether to participate in this qualification test.]

[Note: If you forfeit the test, you will be immediately removed from the space; if you confirm participation, you will not be allowed to leave the test midway.]

Wen Nan was definitely that 0.5.

He only had half of a control pattern obtained by exchanging a replica Fragment, the remaining half was in the hands of candidate No. 1.

Unexpectedly... his little subordinate, a player without a name in the six major guilds or nine great legends, actually had not only that half of a control pattern Fragment but also possessed two whole Fragments?

Thinking about it, Wen Nan couldn’t help but smile and shake his head, murmuring to himself—

What kind of person is this, like a dog collecting piles of crap, already holding two Fragments, but back in the trial map, he argued bitterly with Wen Nan over that one replica Fragment in his hand.

So eager to collect Fragments? Isn’t this the best candidate for the Sword Holder?

Honestly, Wen Nan didn’t want to be the Sword Holder, unwilling to be eternally bound by the task of "continuously searching for the lost Divine Staff Fragments", but if the person he controlled became the Sword Holder, it wouldn’t be bad?

The task would be on their shoulders, while he controlled them, and they collected the Fragments.

If it didn’t work out, it wasn’t Wen Nan’s responsibility; if it did, and the person truly ascended to that so-called throne, Wen Nan could become the man behind the throne with the golden control pattern in his hand.

It sounded like a pretty good option.

Therefore, this qualification test, as long as candidate No. 2 didn’t win, Wen Nan wouldn’t lose.

As he thought about it, the prompt on the screen above his head switched again—

[Candidate qualification test confirmation countdown: 10—]

The countdown had only flipped for two seconds when all three players, including Wen Nan, clicked confirm.

When all three "pending confirmation" turned into "confirmation of participation", the screen started scrolling new prompts—

[All 3 candidates have confirmed participation in this Sword Holder qualification test, proceeding to question pool extraction.]

[The Divine Staff Sheath will, based on the comprehensive situation of the current candidates, attempt to extract the test contents that best match the participating candidates.]

[This time, with a total of 3 candidates, 3 sets of selection test questions will be drawn for the candidates to choose from...]

[Matching candidates and drawing from the question pool, please wait...]

[Question pool extraction complete, the Divine Staff Sheath has prepared the following 3 test questions for the qualification testers—

[Choice 1. Run for the utopia in your dreams! (Key to solve: Break through shackles)]

[Choice 2. As long as I want, everything in the world will kneel at my feet and become my slave! (Key to solve: Soul Control)]

[Choice 3. There’s nothing a shot can’t solve, if it can’t, then take another shot! (Key to solve: Ultimate Charm)]

This set of topics clearly corresponds directly to the candidates from No. 1 to No. 3 in order.

The most suitable test for Wen Nan was definitely choice 3.

As he contemplated how to select question 3, the prompts switched again—

[In this qualification test, only one question can be selected. Once a question is finalized, it cannot be changed midway, and all 3 qualification testers must use the same set of questions.]

[The right to choose the question is determined by the number of Fragments the qualification tester holds—

Candidate No. 1 has the highest priority and can directly choose the question for this session; if candidate No. 1 forfeits the right to choose, it will pass to candidate No. 2, and so on.]

As the prompts appeared, the golden light on top of the screen, like a spotlight, was cast on the head of the slender figure in the center.

[Please, candidate No. 1, confirm whether to use your right to choose the question?]

That figure raised its hand, about to make a choice, when the golden beam suddenly redirected, moving away from above and instead pointed at Wen Nan’s head.

Wen Nan was stunned, followed immediately by seeing the prompt on the screen—

[A content Judgment Card was detected with candidate No. 3, applicable to this qualification test. If candidate No. 3 uses the Judgment Card, they will replace candidate No. 1, gaining the highest priority to choose the question.]

[Please, candidate No. 3, confirm whether to use the content Judgment Card to gain priority in choice?]

Now the pressure was on Wen Nan.

Wen Nan looked towards that figure in the middle, for some reason, it seemed like the other person’s originally tight shoulders relaxed as if they had shaken off a heavy burden.

But as soon as the burden was shifted away, it quickly returned back.

Wen Nan raised his hand and clicked on [Refuse], directly forsaking the use of the content Judgment Card.

The golden beam returned to candidate No. 1’s head, and he noticeably stiffened; although hidden in the shadow with his face unclear, Wen Nan always felt like that person was looking at him with that "What are you doing?" expression.

Wen Nan shrugged.

He simply didn’t want to waste his only content Judgment Card.

This card would be more important for Wen Nan during the main storyline task next time.

As for this qualification test, Wen Nan didn’t care, the Divine Staff Sheath was more like a burden to him. If candidate No. 1 cared so much, let them have it.

Under the "spotlight", candidate No. 1 had a sullen face.

The one with an even darker expression was candidate No. 2.

They seemed completely unable to comprehend why candidates No. 1 and No. 3 were exchanging glances and then passing this important question-choosing qualification back and forth like passing a ball. This was the Divine Staff Sheath! This was the god-level item that symbolized the highest throne! Why would anyone disregard the right to choose such an important thing and kick it away like garbage?

This candidate No. 3, are they crazy?

Thinking this, candidate No. 1 finally pressed the confirmation button and obtained the priority to choose the question.

Candidate No. 2, although disappointed, was somewhat relieved to have at least one reasonable opponent in this test.

But then, they saw that person raise his hand and slap it onto question 3.

The remaining two candidates looked dumbfounded.

However, the choice had been made and could not be changed, so they had no choice but to join in with apprehension.

The question introduction page unfolded slowly on the screen above—

[Choice 3.

Background Introduction:

The rise of desire usually requires a comfortable environment and a pleasant mood, but in extreme harsh conditions, could humans still develop desire and resolve it?

A true leader remains unchanged in the face of a mountain collapse and unshaken by the rise of a deer.

The courage required by this qualification tester far exceeds this—

A Sword Holder, when a mountain collapses in front, climbs the mountain; when a deer rises to the side, rides the deer.

Truly formidable warriors dare to transform fear into desire, which is Ultimate Charm.

Only by achieving this step can the Chosen One have the ability to walk to the end in this chaotic world.

So, candidate, are you ready?

Test Rules:

The Divine Staff Sheath will seek out the deepest fear within each participating tester, visualizing the target as the Fear Value; testers must find all possible means to convert the initial Fear Value into a Desire Value.

The higher the conversion rate within the allotted time, the higher the score.

The tester with the highest score at the end of the test will obtain the Sword Holder candidate qualification.

Note: During the test, you may use any skills, items, equipment, or by any means, at all costs, achieve a higher conversion rate.]
