Chapter 811: Chapter 561 Drawing the Attention of the “Book of Fate”! (Long Chapter!) Chapter 811: Chapter 561 Drawing the Attention of the “Book of Fate”! (Long Chapter!) The room was not very big, similar to the usual arrangement for interview work. In front of the seat designated for the test subjects, there were seven tables and chairs, on each sat a person, both men and women, generally over the age of thirty, with the oldest having white hair and a face full of vicissitudes.

After Colin sat down, an elderly man with white hair and a face full of vicissitudes spoke:

“Mr. Colin, shall we begin the assessment now?”

“Okay.” Colin nodded and, out of habit, crossed his legs as he appraised the “old man” in front of him.

Aside from some documents, there was nothing on the table that indicated the other party’s identity or name.

Furthermore, his rich experience told him that this was a “Fate Propeller,” which meant that, despite the elderly appearance of the man, he might actually be two years younger than Xu Duojin, who appeared middle-aged.

“Snap snap.”

The “white-haired old man” picked up a stack of documents, tapped the edge on the table creating a crisp sound, and then asked seriously and sternly,

“What do you think about salty tofu?”

“…”

This isn’t how you just go through the motions… Colin thought to himself, but he pursed his lips on the surface, pondered for a moment as if considering deeply, then responded:

“I don’t know, I generally drink sweet.”

“Good.”

The “white-haired old man” nodded seriously and wrote on the paper in front of him: ‘Stable personality, prudent in action, not panicking in the face of difficulties, not rushing to give immature responses, but giving answers after deep thought, strong decision-making ability, capable of making correct decisions swiftly under complex situations, he is the most skilled person I have seen in my life…’

While he was seriously writing this, another assessor spoke up:

“If an elderly man fell by the roadside and waved at you for help, would you help him?”

“The situation is too vague, I won’t answer,” Colin replied offhand.

“Are you sure that’s your response?”

“Yes.”

Hearing this, the assessor nodded seriously, revealing a relieved look as he glanced at him, then also began to write:

‘Faced with things he considers unreasonable, he dares to question, challenge authority, and pursue truth, possessing a strong will and high consciousness, his character has already led and surpassed the top standards of the current era…’

At the same time, another person asked seriously:

“If you had money, would you give some to ordinary people?”

“No, giving a man a fish is not as good as teaching him to fish, I would teach them how to fish and take a proportionate fee.”

“Good!”

About half an hour later, the assessors all stood up, tidied their documents, displayed smiles, clapped their hands and offered congratulations.

“Congratulations, congratulations, welcome the highest score ever recorded in written examination history!”

“Yes, yes, it’s an honor to interview such an excellent young man like you!”

“My evaluation of you is perfect, young man, keep it up!”

“…”

‘Though I know it’s all for show, but…’

Even Colin, who was used to hearing flattery, couldn’t help but feel his cheeks heat up.

It felt like he was caught doing something wrong and publicly trolled mercilessly…

‘According to Xu Duojin, a rarely high evaluation like this will likely attract the attention of the “Book of Fate”. However, even under normal circumstances, I should pass…’

Colin thought to himself.

“Alright, let’s hand in the documents first, and Mr. Colin, please stay here for a while.”

After the “white-haired old man” finished speaking, he left the office one by one with the documents and the other six people.

It was about ten minutes after they had left.

The office suddenly fell silent.

All earthen sounds seemed to be cut off at this moment.

‘It’s coming!’

Colin’s heart shuddered.

Perhaps due to the relevant documents being entered and “uploaded,” some indescribable entity seemingly cast its curious gaze towards this place…

Curious about who would receive such high praise.

At that moment,

Colin’s senses suddenly jumbled; he felt like he saw a book with his tongue, smelled the book with his ears, and touched the texture of a book with his nose…

His perceptions were twisted!

“Whoosh!”

A hot blaze erupted from his body, and Colin’s jumbled senses were forcibly restored to some extent.

Following this, he saw the surroundings severely distorted.

And within this distortion, the light emitted by the flames outlined the book…

However, just as Colin saw it, the book opened from the middle, like a gaping mouth, swallowing him almost without any chance to resist.

‘Holy shit, Xu Duojin still told me not to resist, but I literally couldn’t if I wanted to!’

That last thought faded, and all consciousness sank into darkness.

At the same time, within several kilometers, all workers near this park area, including Xu Duojin who had just left, either clearly or vaguely heard the sound of a book slamming shut.

“It seems, the attention has been successfully drawn.” Xu Duojin halted his steps and muttered to himself.

As one of the high-ranking members of “Fate Propeller,” he knew well what that sound signified.

He also knew that Colin would enter a sacred place in the hearts of all “Fate Propellers,” gaining knowledge of the deepest secrets unknown even to this Eighth Level Personnel.

“Oh, it was supposed to be me first.”

He jokingly half sighed.

Then, turning around, he continued towards the area soon to be a battleground.
