At this moment, Yin Zhu was unaware of Lu Xue's situation; she was simply letting her thoughts wander: "If the next instance still has natives allowing the Chosen One to possess someone, does that mean that if I unfortunately die, the subsequent Chosen Ones, regardless of gender, will have to play the role of a woman?"
"That's how it works in theory. Would you like to try it?"
Anzhi was joking.
"...No need for that. It's good to be alive. I still have anime to watch." Yin Zhu decisively denied it. Her sense of humor wasn't strong enough to make her want to risk her life for fun.
This answer eased An Zhi's mind a bit, but she wanted to know more than just that: "You were the last chosen one to complete the fourth instance, so you only had seven days of rest on Blue Star. You should have heard that system voice, right?"
"It seems so." Yin Zhu was so startled by the soldiers who suddenly appeared in the room that she didn't pay any attention to what the system was telling her.
It seems... Anzhi is a little helpless.
After all, although this chosen one seems very smart, it's hard to tell whether what she says is true or made up, because the woman in front of you has an excellent ability to brainwash herself; she's the kind of person who can deceive herself before she even tells a lie.
In some ways, he's a fool.
It seems very unreliable.
However, the nation has no way to choose her; it is an unspeakable choice. Even the planet Earth has not yet found a way to address this. All it can do is to prepare all those known to have high intelligence and who might be chosen.
Even so, you never know if He might find a chosen one like Yin Zhu from some hidden corner.
An increase in national fortune can only guarantee that the chosen one drawn next time won't be a fool, so that they won't start off with an extreme rebellion and head straight for death, but it cannot guarantee that the country will successfully predict the right question.
As for nationwide preparations for war?
What a joke! Before the chosen ones even lose enough numbers, the entire nation will starve to death. The strange occurrences on Earth can only be considered a mid-term crisis; the most pressing issues are the people's daily needs for food and livelihood.
"So why do countries broadcast this kind of thing live on air?" Yin Zhu had wanted to ask this in the world of ghost stories.
However, the world was unsafe at the time, and Yin Zhu didn't want to spend the energy to think about the problem. Later, she simply forgot about it until An Zhi mentioned the system, and Yin Zhu remembered it again.
Anzhi wasn't surprised to hear this question.
In fact, Chen Xiaobao, who cleared the first instance, and Ji Liao, who cleared the second instance, both asked this question.
So she gave the answer she'd given so many times: "Because of the rules."
...
The meeting room was far from quiet; a few members were whispering among themselves because it was so boring.
Han Jiuying nudged Xia Qingkong next to her and asked mysteriously, "Guess when the boss will be back? He actually spent so long interviewing the Chosen Ones."
Xia Qingkong looked disgusted: "Men and women shouldn't touch each other."
"Don't be so cold. Aren't you curious about what the boss and that Yin Zhu talk about? She's the first female chosen one to come back alive from the world of rules, after all."
“The Dragon Kingdom is the first,” Di Jia corrected. “The Chosen One from the Cherry Blossom Kingdom is the first on the entire Blue Star to return alive from the very first instance.”
"Tsk, don't nitpick. You're boosting the morale of others while diminishing your own."
Han Jiuying instinctively argued with him.
"Shh, the boss is back." A member sitting near the door tapped the table to attract the attention of the others and remind them to get back to work.
The room immediately fell silent as some people flipped through papers and others took notes; there was no other chatter.
When An Zhi brought Yin Zhu in, this was the scene where everyone was seriously reviewing information and analyzing problems. An Zhi nodded in agreement, but stopped and glared at Han Jiu Ying after noticing something.
Han Jiuying was completely confused, wondering where she hadn't acted convincingly.
"Let me introduce you. This is Yin Zhu, the chosen one of our Dragon Kingdom."
Standing at the front, Yin Zhu was a little nervous. After a brief self-introduction, she shut up and said, "Hello everyone."
The woman standing in front of everyone was in her early twenties. Her hair was simply tied into a ponytail, and her skin was rough from long hours in front of the computer without any skincare. Her arms hung stiffly at her sides, and her knuckles were white from gripping the document tightly. Her eyes were unfocused, and all these details of her body language silently told everyone that she was very nervous.
"Please have a seat."
An Zhi pointed to the empty seat next to him, and Xia Qingkong also stood up abruptly, even giving a military salute: "Welcome back alive, hero of the Dragon Kingdom."
This statement seemed to be a signal, and the entire conference hall became lively.
"Don't be too nervous. We're just here to help you figure out how to get through safely," Han Jiuying smiled. "What you'll encounter and how to get through it smoothly is up to you."
"However, we also watch live streams from other countries. If a country that's progressing quickly releases a guide, we'll send it to you immediately to remind you," Di Jia added.
"Maybe you'll be the fastest-progressing chosen one on the entire planet, just like Ji Liao was back then. In that case, all the nations of the planet will come begging to us with their resources, wanting to copy our homework." Seeing the atmosphere lighten up, Su Jinyun, sitting next to Di Jia, also joined in the joke.
"That's probably unlikely..." Yin Zhu muttered.
Finally, An Zhi interrupted everyone: "Alright, this time I'm here to introduce you to everyone. Our advisory group has a total of twenty-one members. Since the Chosen Ones are basically on live 24/7 after entering, everyone except me works in two shifts. The people here are from Group A. Tomorrow I'll introduce you to Group B."
