Chapter 50 Saint Lan Monastery
“Those who stay true to themselves will only benefit others if they are used well,” Priestess Nora retorted.
"Only those who are insatiably greedy and blinded by self-interest will become the next dean."
"I'm different from the dean. He exploits the rules to make exorbitant profits, while I just want to be a good pastor and help ordinary people."
"All the transactions in the monastery in the past were manipulated by the abbot. Most of the priests and monks were forced into it. However, in the process, some priests, monks, and nuns lost their true selves, including myself."
"His existence merely provides the Dean with rules to bind him."
"Just like you have Qi Jia with you, Qi Jia can help you, even if it's killing someone for you, but you're not a bad person, are you?"
"From now on, you won't use Qi Jia to do bad things, but if you let Qi Jia grow up unchecked, he will seek revenge on Cooper and might even kill more people."
You shook your head and retorted, "My relationship with Qi Jia is contractual, while your relationship with Him is cooperative. He could rebel at any time."
"I don't know if you've ever done anything evil, but exploiting the cunning of human nature, His existence does more harm than good."
"Priestess Nora's words did not move you."
"Although what she said wasn't entirely wrong, what was bad was human nature; He exploited human nature."
"If you stay true to yourself, Priestess Nora will still be Priestess Nora, but it's better to miss an opportunity than to let it go."
"You've come to this bizarre world to take on a challenge. Destroy it, and you might just get an SSS rating."
"Your country will be able to obtain resources, and more Chinese people will be able to live better lives."
"You are standing at different angles, so naturally you will see things from different perspectives."
"You can choose not to kill Priestess Nora, but you must kill the monster, or you can use other methods."
"However, once He is destroyed by you, the rules of the monastery will disappear, and the cloaked man will be unable to control him."
"So this is a difficult decision."
"Your simulation is now complete."
"Simulation complete! Current anomaly value: 50 points. Simulation duration: 1 hour and 41 minutes."
The simulation ended, and Wen Qi stood in the square, staring blankly at the gate.
"There's no need to break the cage, just jump out. Only by jumping out of the cage can you see the truth," you murmured to yourself.
She never truly understood the meaning of that sentence.
That cage, I think it refers to the monastery.
Breaking the cage was also mentioned in the conditions for passing the level.
Arriving at the first-floor restroom, she changed into the red mask and priest's robes of a Prague priest and slowly made her way towards the dean's office.
Wen Qi planned to first take a stroll through the auction house, obtain rewards to improve her strength, and then go fight the Dean.
Soon, she arrived at the auction house with practiced ease.
...
They followed her live stream camera, broadcasting it all to Earth.
By this time, apart from the Chosen Ones of the Qingzhen Kingdom and the Xiong Kingdom who were still clinging to life, all the other Chosen Ones had died.
In just two or three days, several countries have been nearly destroyed.
Some countries are already struggling to survive and want their entire populations to immigrate to China, but China refuses.
In other countries, the struggle is against natural disasters, negative events, and monastery mysteries.
The population has plummeted from over five billion on January 23 to around four billion.
And one-third of the population lives in the Dragon Kingdom.
Therefore, Wen Qi's completion reward is very important.
Even though Wen Qi has acquired a lot of resources in the populous Dragon Kingdom, the per capita amount is still not much.
Therefore, while they hoped that Wen Qi would survive for a month, they also hoped for a miracle and that Wen Qi could achieve an SS-level clear.
After all, the resources rewarded for completing a level are not on the same level as the resources rewarded for discovering hidden rules.
...
Before the auction started, Wen Qi wandered around the various small rooms in the auction house.
The continuous stream of information, through system evaluation, improved Wen Qi's progress in the dungeon.
[Congratulations, host, your dungeon progress has increased to 75%. Your Ghost Power has increased by 10, and all ghosts have gained 10 Ghost Power.]
The reward of supernatural power is what Wen Qi really wants right now.
The reward of ten points of Ghost Power made Wen Qi quite happy, and she temporarily put her worries aside.
The success rate of her current plan has increased significantly.
[Announcement across the entire planet: Congratulations to Wen Qi, the Chosen One of the Dragon Kingdom, for discovering some hidden clues at the Saint Lan Monastery and receiving an additional random resource reward.]
[The entire nation of Dragon Kingdom is rewarded with a +7 increase in physical fitness, and three million tons of gold ore resources have been realized within the country.]

After receiving the reward, Wen Qi recreated the previous simulation, entering the room she had chosen during the simulation and playing the role of a cloaked person and the priest serving them.
Everything went smoothly, and just in case, Wen Qi started the simulation dressed as a Prague priestess.
"Simulation begins, mind astral projection."
"You were dressed in the robes and mask of a Prague priest, and you walked to the entrance of the dimly lit corridor."
"In this simulation, you want to know if Prague can enter the corridor, and whether the dean will recognize this outfit as soon as he enters the room."
"You stepped into the corridor, thankfully no accident occurred."
"You went directly to the dean's room."
"It's all the same again; you need to perform a cesarean section on that pregnant woman."
"You refused, and you went up to Priestess Nora and pulled her in front of Miss Elise."
"You apologize to Miss Elise and hope that Priestess Nora will serve her in your place."
"Your attitude is excellent, Miss Elise has granted your request."
"When you were with Priestess Nora, you whispered in her ear, 'We have the same goal. Help me kill the Headmaster later. I only want to kill him, nothing more.'"
"Priestess Nora looked at you with shock in her eyes, and you smiled at her."
"Then, as Priestess Nora walked up to the pregnant woman, you swung your baseball bat and used your supernatural powers to smash it down on the Dean."
"With a loud bang, the dean's head was smashed open by you."
"He didn't even know why he was crushed to death; he was completely dead."
"And He slowly condensed from the Dean's body, turning into a shapeless black mist."
