Chapter 57 Beiyang County Jinrong School 01
"You're quite clever and honest. You knew to hold back back then, but now you're willing to discuss things with us. It's a blessing for the country to have such a young pillar of society," Old Zhang said with a look of satisfaction in his eyes.
Wen Qi pursed her lips and said, "I...I came here to tell you, didn't I?"
“If the country wants me to continue taking on the challenge and coordinating everything, I’m willing to go, but my younger brother must be taken good care of me.”
"Sister!" Wen Jiu called out, looking somewhat unhappy.
His sister is his only family. They have depended on each other since childhood. He doesn't want his sister to be in danger every day, even if others think he is selfish.
He only wanted to take care of his family. His sister had already made a great contribution to the country in the last challenge. Not all contributions can be recorded as a special merit.
The siblings have already repaid the government's debt of assistance.
Old Zhang did not give Wen Qi an immediate answer, but asked, "Why don't you reconsider? Even if you don't want to go, no one will blame you. Your life is very important."
Wen Qi thought for a moment and said, "I had already considered the matter before deciding to report it to you, but I still had some concerns."
“I’m afraid that if I take the initiative to challenge it, the supreme rules of this strange world will still randomly select one person. In that case, I won’t be able to explain it clearly, so the country needs to step in to coordinate.”
"Besides, not every instance requires you to go to the strange world with your own body and soul. In some previous instances, didn't you just take your soul and transfer it into someone else's body to complete the challenge?"
"Little Jiu, what if you're the next one to be drawn? I can't just watch you take that risk."
"What will the families of the others feel if they are drawn? But I already have a UR-level talent, so I'm willing to get involved."
"When I was in the monastery, I thought I would just try to survive until Thanksgiving, but I gradually changed my mind. Besides, when the country is in trouble, those who are capable have a responsibility to step forward."
Wenjiu continued to persuade her gently, "But you are my own sister. What if something happens to you? I promised Dad that I would be a man and protect you. Even if I am randomly selected, I will not let you go in my place."
"Xiao Jiu, don't be so stubborn. This time, let me make the final decision." Wen Qi raised an eyebrow and made up her mind.
Seeing that there was no hope of persuasion, Wenjiu sighed and had no choice but to stop trying.
He knew that his sister had many ways to protect herself. Whether it was the contracted strange objects or the supernatural beings, or the ghost mask and the strange power within her body, they could all help her a lot, and her physique had also been greatly enhanced.
Moreover, my sister received very generous rewards in her last challenge, so she might get even more next time.
Most importantly, the simulator that the older sister drew is very different from other talents, and that's what she relies on.
If the strange world does not abide by the supreme rules and eventually invades Earth, then my sister will have the power to protect herself.
Afterwards, witnessed by Gu Ye, Elder Zhang, and others, Wen Qi began to communicate with the system and chose to take the initiative to continue challenging the next dungeon.
...
Five days later
[System notification for the entire Blue Star: The 7th round of challenges has begun. Everyone on Blue Star, please prepare yourselves. The chosen one will be randomly selected soon.]
[Drawing...]
The announcement echoed throughout the entire planet.
This time the selection was conducted during the day, whereas last time Wen Qi was taken to a strange world while she was asleep.
As the announcement sounded, Wen Qi also received a separate notification from the system.
[Chosen One, do you confirm your willingness to participate in this instance world challenge?]
Wen Qi: "Yes."
A beam of light shot into the sky, and Wen Qi was transported into a bizarre world.
[System notification across the entire planet: The random selection of the Chosen One has been completed!]
Immediately afterwards, all the chosen ones were teleported to a bizarre world, and the entire planet Earth began a live broadcast.
Almost everyone who wasn't selected was secretly relieved, nervously watching the live stream screen.
I wonder what kind of supernatural tale instance we'll be facing this time.
...
[Ding! The new Rule of the Strange Tales instance has been loaded. Chosen One, please strive to maintain a clear mind, active thinking, and accurate understanding.]
Your performance and survival time in the instance world will determine the fate of your nation and whether strange tales will occur.
Wen Qi woke up in a recliner, surrounded by lush green bamboo.
Looking around, she was in a farmhouse courtyard. The gate was closed and the walls were high, at least three meters tall.
Wen Qi stood up and looked around the courtyard.
"System, what kind of copy is this?"
[What the Chosen Ones Should Know]:
[Current Ghost Story Dungeon: Jinrong School in Beiyang County, a very strange school, difficulty six stars]
[Background: You live in the county with your grandmother and sister. Three days ago was Friday, which was also your sister Ning Zhaodi's birthday, but she did not come home.]
Grandma was very worried about my sister, thinking she might be missing, so she went to my sister's middle school to look for her alone.
Grandma left you a week's worth of food; please take care of yourself.
【Chosen One, your identity in this instance is: Ning Pandi, the younger sister of a family of three, and a fifth-grade student.】
The requirements and rewards for passing the mission are as follows:
[Rating A: Survive for one week until Grandma returns. Reward: +10 to the nation's luck value.]
[SSS Rating: Uncover the secret of your sister's disappearance and obtain more clues about "He". Rewards: +20 to your nation's luck value, and five random resource rewards.]
[Failure to clear the level: 10 points of luck will be deducted, and a random natural disaster will occur.]
【Wen Qi, the Chosen One of the Dragon Kingdom, please begin your challenge. Good luck!】
...
"???"
"Can anyone tell me what happened? Why is it still Wen Qi?"
"Hey 7th Brother! She's so amazing."
"Ahhh!! It's my sister Wen Qi! I'm so happy! We've already succeeded halfway through this challenge!"
"Wen Qi, the girl who grows flowers, still loves her."
"Pray she can get through this smoothly."
"Why did we send this child to the eerie world again? The country owes her another one."
"Did the Dragon Kingdom really not cheat? How come it's still the same person?"
"Report! Report! Damn it!"
"Baka, I've already reported it."
The Loongson base has already prepared a response to the public.
If only one person from the Dragon Kingdom goes there, then there's no need to come out and explain anything; just wait for Wen Qi to return after clearing the level.
If it is truly another case, and another chosen one besides Wen Qi has appeared in the Dragon Kingdom, then we should announce that Wen Qi went there voluntarily.
...
Having received the information, Wen Qi finally had a goal.
Fifth grade student?
She looked down at herself and, wow, she had turned into a girl of about ten years old.
If her soul weren't an adult, the real Ning Pandi might not have been able to take good care of herself at home, or if there were no adults at home, she could easily have been abducted by human traffickers.
