Looking for the groom (7)
Sun Lianhu was alive and kicking because he had taken the Resurrection Pill.
But Jian Tanxi and her son Qin Man had just been beaten and were seriously injured; it was already very difficult for them to stay conscious.
Qu Chen lay on the ground, sobbing softly while gripping the pen tightly in her hand.
Jian Tanxi tried to take his pen, but he refused.
As for Jian Tanxi, well, her life was threatened. The most urgent thing was to think about who to recommend.
However, no one had any ideas.
Sun Lianhu suddenly said, "How about recommending number 4? We don't know much about number 4. Maybe he's dressed as a worker but isn't actually a worker; he might be a big entrepreneur."
Jian Tanxi said, "That's unlikely. Besides, even if he really is a big entrepreneur, he's not tall enough."
"He does look a bit short in the photos. But what if he's actually 185cm?"
"That's unlikely. He doesn't even look 1.7 meters tall."
"Are you sure your eyesight is accurate?"
"Even if it's not precise, number 4 is definitely not 185cm, so it doesn't meet Miss Jenny's requirements."
Qin Man suddenly said, "Miss Jenny only said the height must be over 185 cm, but 185 cm doesn't have a specific unit. I don't know if it's 185 centimeters or 185 millimeters..."
Jian Tanxi said, "If that's the case, we might as well give it a try... But I think Miss Jenny means 185 centimeters. If we exploit this loophole and anger her, she might hit us even harder. Besides, even putting aside height, Number 4 is just a worker, and his job isn't respectable."
Furthermore, he's too thin, which doesn't fit the description of a well-proportioned figure. Plus, number 4 isn't handsome, and we don't know anything about his marital or child status; perhaps he's been married before and has children? That makes for too many shortcomings.”
After this analysis, Qin Man also felt it was inappropriate.
At this moment, Qu Chen suddenly stretched out his two small hands, one grabbing Qin Man and the other grabbing Jian Tanxi.
He muttered to himself, but it was incoherent and impossible to understand what he was saying.
He may be saying goodbye to this world in his own way.
Qin Man and Jian Tanxi were his closest relatives, so on his deathbed, he wanted to hold onto them.
The pen he was holding tightly was released and passed to Jian Tanxi.
Jian Tanxi was very sad, but there was nothing she could do.
She only had one Resurrection Pill left. Even if she gave it to Qu Chen, he would only live for a short while.
If they can't recommend a suitable groom, they'll all be killed. With the master dead, leaving Qu Chen alone in the instance, he definitely won't survive.
At this moment, Jian Tanxi looked at Miss Jenny's criteria for choosing a partner, and then she looked at the pen in her hand.
She calmly stood up and limped toward Miss Jenny.
Just now, one of her legs was broken, so she can't walk properly.
Despite the pain, she walked up to Miss Jenny.
Miss Jenny asked, "Have you decided who you want to recommend?"
Jian Tanxi said, "I've made up my mind. However, I'd like to ask a question first."
"What's the problem?"
Jian Tanxi held up the pen in her hand: "May I use this pen?"
"Well... the rules of the game don't say you can't use a pen. But what can you do with this pen?"
You'll find out soon enough.
Miss Jenny's criteria for choosing a partner were listed right above her head.
Miss Jenny is currently on a piece of paper, so her criteria for choosing a partner are also on a piece of paper.
Jian Tanxi picked up a pen and crossed out the two requirements for a spouse: "presentable in public and good at cooking" and "under 35 years old".
Then, Jian Tanxi said, "Alright, Miss Jenny, my recommended candidate is number 3."
Qin Man and Sun Lianhu were both surprised to see Jian Tanxi do this.
However, Qin Man quickly smiled knowingly and understood Jian Tanxi's meaning.
Sun Lianhu shouted nervously, "Jian Tanxi! What are you doing! Number 3 just recommended it, it couldn't be Number 3!"
Unexpectedly, Miss Jenny said, "I think number 3 is perfect. I'll have number 3 as my groom."
Sun Lianhu shouted, "Why couldn't number 3 work just now, but it can now?"
Miss Jenny did not answer him, but said to the King, "Your Majesty, please bring candidate number 3 here. I want to marry him. These four contestants have helped me find the perfect groom, and I will give them gifts later."
The king asked, "Miss Jenny, are you sure?"
"Yes."
"However, candidate number 3 cannot cook and is over 35 years old."
“I know, but those two items are not in my marriage requirements.”
"Oh, I see. Then I'll go and bring candidate number 3 here."
With that, the king left.
Sun Lianhu was dumbfounded.
He finally understood why Jian Tanxi had done that.
He muttered, "Just cross out the requirements that can't be met... is it that simple?"
Jian Tanxi said, "That's right, it's that simple, but most people wouldn't think of this method. Even if they did, they might not carry a pen with them."
Qin Man added, "Theoretically, any of these six candidates can be recommended, as long as the requirements that don't apply are crossed out. For example, if we recommend candidate number 6, we would cross out 'good physique' and 'unmarried and childless'. If we recommend candidate number 5, the chef, we would cross out 'respectable job', 'good physique', 'not too fat', and 'handsome and rich'."
Jian Tanxi: "Yes."
Sun Lianhu was still in shock and it took him a while to come to his senses.
About twenty minutes later, the king brought in candidate number 3.
Number 3 is an elegant nobleman, handsome and charming, whose only shortcomings are that he can't cook and is over 35 years old.
But now, Miss Jenny doesn't mind anymore.
The "Wedding March" played again from the speaker, and Miss Jenny emerged from the paper and married Number 3.
The king also emerged from the paper and officiated at their wedding.
After the bride and groom exchanged rings, the king said, "Now, please have the bride and groom toast the guests. Considering that most of the guests are women and children, let's replace the wine with fruit juice."
Miss Jenny poured four glasses of juice, carried them on a tray, and walked over to Jian Tanxi and the others.
Seeing her approach, Jian Tanxi felt a little scared and instinctively wanted to back away. However, her leg was injured, making it difficult for her to move.
Miss Jenny smiled and said, "Thank you for finding me a groom. Now, please drink this juice."
Jian Tanxi said, "Thank you, but I'm not thirsty."
Miss Jenny's expression immediately changed, and she said angrily, "You don't want to drink my wedding wine?"
Jian Tanxi felt that angering Miss Jenny was more terrifying than drinking juice with unknown effects.
I might as well drink it first. Anyway, I've already cleared the game, so Miss Jenny probably wouldn't poison me.
Just as Jian Tanxi was about to choose a glass of juice, Qin Man limped over and said, "I'll drink it first."
Then, without saying a word, she drank a glass of juice.
Jian Tanxi was grateful to her for taking the risk, but at the same time looked at her with concern.
Unexpectedly, Qin Man's wounds gradually healed, and her complexion became rosy.
Qin Man nodded to Jian Tanxi, indicating that the juice was safe to drink.
So Jian Tanxi drank it too.
After drinking it, her body recovered completely, just like she had taken a healing pill.
It's possible that they did put healing pills in the juice.
Qin Man also picked up a glass of juice and fed it to Qu Chen.
Qu Chen loves sweets. He tasted the juice, liked it very much, and finished it.
Before long, Qu Chen recovered.
Qin Man burst into tears of joy and hugged Qu Chen.
However, once Qu Chen recovered, he couldn't stop. He broke free from Qin Man and ran around the church, even picking a few flowers. Seeing that the bride and groom weren't angry, Qin Man didn't force Qu Chen to return the flowers.
Qu Chen ran back and gave Qin Man and Jian Tanxi each a flower.
Jian Tanxi put the flowers in her bag.
She patted Qu Chen's head and said, "Little Chen, we were able to pass this level thanks to you."
Qu Chen didn't understand, but happily twirled around with the flowers in her hand.
When it was Sun Lianhu's turn to drink the juice, he saw that Jian Tanxi and the others had recovered and felt that drinking the juice would definitely make his physical condition even stronger. Since his body had already recovered, drinking the healing juice would surely produce a double benefit.
He happily drank it down in one gulp, but then he felt something was wrong. His whole body suddenly felt numb, painful, and itchy, as if a million ants were crawling on him, or as if many insects were gnawing at him.
Sun Lianhu: "Wait, what's in this?"
Miss Jenny said, "Three of these juices have therapeutic effects, and one of them contains insect pills. It seems you were unlucky and chose the one with the insect pills."
Sun Lianhu: "..."
Sun Lianhu was so upset that he rolled on the ground, feeling that Miss Jenny must be deliberately taking revenge on him.
But he couldn't scold Miss Jenny. What if he angered her and she wouldn't let him leave?
So he had no choice but to endure it.
Seeing Sun Lianhu's grimacing expression, Jian Tanxi and Qin Man were overjoyed.
The King said, "The wedding ceremony is now complete, and we will soon be distributing rewards to the players. The reward for this level is superpowers. Jian Tanxi contributed the most to clearing the level and will receive two superpowers, while the others will each receive one. The specific superpowers will be announced in your minds and will not be heard by others."
At this moment, a mechanical voice sounded in Jian Tanxi's mind: "Congratulations to player Jian Tanxi for acquiring two superpowers. First superpower: Healing. White light emanates from the palm, which can heal injured parts. It can be used 5 times per month, and the number of uses does not stack. Compared with healing pills, the advantage of the healing superpower is that it will last forever and will not run out like healing pills."
However, healing abilities can only heal one area at a time, unlike healing pills which can instantly heal all injured areas.
The second superpower: Mind reading. It allows the user to read a person's mind and understand their true thoughts. Words can deceive, but the heart cannot. If used well, it can be very helpful. The mind-reading ability can be used twice per month; the uses do not stack.
Jian Tanxi was overjoyed to learn that she possessed two superpowers.
What made her especially happy was the second ability. With the ability to read minds, Jian Tanxi would be able to know what Qu Chen was thinking.
If I team up with Qin Man and Qu Chen again next time, my mind-reading ability will help them obtain a lot of information.
