The silver-haired man glanced at Ning Shu and said, “The charges start the moment you enter this consultation room. This agarwood incense you smell is very rare. Its value cannot even be assessed.”
Ning Shu immediately started holding her breath. “I didn’t breathe it in.”
She’d have to waste two hundred thousand points even if she didn’t ask any questions? Then it would be better to just ask her questions. Ning Shu asked, “I want to know what I should be paying attention to in the examination task.”
“It’s not just the primary examination task, in the intermediate examination task, the advanced examination task, and even for the higher levels beyond that, in the examination task, set aside whether or not you will be able to complete the task. The most important part is to stay alive and not die in the task.
“As long as the auxiliary system tells you that you can leave the task world, the task will count as completed. Even if the completion degree of the task is only 60%, the exam will still count as a pass.” The silver-haired man said all of this slowly so Ning Shu was able to follow along very well.
Ning Shu felt like she knew what she was doing more now. At the same time, her heart chilled. She asked, “The examination task might cause life-threatening danger?”
“Of course, the higher up you go, the more dangerous the examination task will be,” said the silver-haired man. “Regardless of what kind of examination it is, make sure to stay alive. It’ll be fine as long as you don’t die during the task. If the premise that it doesn’t threaten your life is fulfilled, you can proceed with carrying out the task.”
Ning Shu nodded to show that she understood. As expected, it was best to come ask an expert. However, the thought of the consulting fee seriously made her insides hurt. Actually, no, more like it made her insides combust.
Ning Shu’s hand trembled as she took out her points card and paid a million points.
As she left the consultation room, she walked very slowly and inhaled as much of the fragrance as she could. Every time she breathed in, a cool sensation would fill her soul and calm her heart.
This was seriously good stuff.
Ning Shu glanced at the signboard of the consultation room. She had been slaughtered again. Her heart was exhausted.
Ning Shu could sense that this silver-haired man was quite strong. At the very least, probably no one in this fabricated space would dare to provoke him.
She had really wanted to refuse to pay, but she hadn’t dared to.
She had finally figured it out. Perhaps 2333 knew the rules, or perhaps he didn’t know these exam rules, but either way, he couldn’t tell her about these things.
Alas, she was seriously weak. She was practically an ant.
When she got back to the system space, she asked 2333, “Am I really weak?”
“You are really weak,” said 2333. “But everyone starts out weak and gradually becomes strong. I originally thought that you wouldn’t be able to last this long, but you’re now already an intermediate task-taker. In the future, you’ll become even stronger.”
“Don’t worry about that one million points. It’s worth it to use the points to exchange for advice from your seniors.” 2333 took in Ning Shu’s expression of heartache. “Don’t be so stingy, be more generous.”
Ning Shu: Ha. Ha. Ha…
Most of the time, he just played dead. Other times, he just said useless things. It was seriously unbelievable.
However, the current 2333 didn’t seem as certain as he used to be that she wouldn’t be able to make it very far. He was encouraging her now, even though he used to have such an indifferent attitude like he didn’t have much interest in her tasks.
