Pretending To Be A Boss-Chapter 379 - 48th Chapter: The Queen Without a Crown

Non-talented individuals being able to survive in the mining zone for a full seven days was something Tang Xian had thought carefully about; there were indeed some temporary puzzles that could not be answered.

Yuan Wu, who hailed from the Evolution Zone, also expressed doubts after learning that Liu Lang and others had already stayed for seven days—

If non-talented individuals could survive in the mining zone without restrictions, then how did the rule that one couldn’t survive in the mining zone for seven days become a rule that everyone believed to be true?

At that time, Tang Xian had no answer. Yuan Wu, curious, looked at the unconscious Song Que and asked,

"What is the truth behind this rule? Sir, has no one ever actually practiced it?"

Song Que’s situation was too unusual. It was also the first time Tang Xian had encountered such a case.

In fact, when he first met Song Que, he had a very strange feeling, which could be described as a kind of kinship.

After thinking it over, he still did not answer Yuan Wu’s question but instead said goodbye to Ling Yi first.

After pacifying Ling Yi and the others, Tang Xian left Yuan Wu behind to prevent the messenger crows from causing trouble.

It was only after he mounted the dragon’s back again that he began to explain,

"I once simulated the history of human mining zones. The first group to enter the fortress must have selected a lord in the first instance, and it was at that time that the Order Enforcer’s genes began to be activated. Talented individuals were born.

Of course, in terms of numbers, there must have been many non-talented individuals as well. Their numbers should have been greater than those of the non-talented.

Then, as the Pyramid hierarchy was established, the Stele was left with the technology to create transmission rifts, and the unique copy of the mining zone world was opened.

People came to the mining zone to acquire survival resources. But on their first visit to the mining zone, they perhaps couldn’t even defeat the enhanced creatures.

And they panic-strickenly discovered that the various military weapons usable in the original world could no longer be used.

Whether talented or not, deaths started to mount.

In the extremely harsh mining zone, we can be ten thousand percent sure that talented individuals’ ability to survive far surpasses that of non-talented individuals, and therefore, those most likely to bring back intelligence would be the talented ones.

As for non-talented individuals, I may sound rather harsh, but it would have been difficult for them to survive in the mining zone three days, let alone seven, hundreds of years ago.

At that time, humanity was almost completely in the dark about the mining zone.

In short, the scarcity of knowledge about the mining zone back then, combined with the guidance of the Stele and the dire deaths of the talented individuals, led people to form an unchangeable belief—that it was impossible to survive seven days in the mining zone.

This naturally also included non-talented individuals. Thus, non-talented individuals began to take care of matters within the fortress.

And the talented individuals started to be in charge of the exploration of the mining zone, and people noticed a huge gap in the benefits of the two. Therefore, the status of talented individuals was elevated.

The mining zone’s world’s productivity was so strong that people developed safe areas, the green zones, where non-talented individuals could also mine.

A multitude of tragic facts, various examples in textbooks, and clear indications on the Stele convinced people that non-talented individuals could not stay for seven days either. Whether it was the rules that didn’t allow it or their strength didn’t permit it.

Over time, non-talented individuals no longer dared to stay in the mining zone for too long. After all, the mosquitoes there were as big as cockroaches. The rabbits there might be stronger than a non-talented individual’s combat ability."

Yuan Wu nodded. Although over the centuries, there must have been some non-talented individuals who weren’t conventional, after Tang Xian’s explanation, it seemed just like Tang Xian’s cheating—it wasn’t possible to convince people to change their views.

After explaining all this, Tang Xian gave a few instructions to Yuan Wu and Ling Yi, then took Song Que and left the pit by dragon.

The people in the pit must be saved, and the lord in the Holy Land Fortress who was an imposter of the Beasts also had to be eliminated.

However, Tang Xian hadn’t forgotten the true purpose of his trip.

His acquaintance with Qing JiuYu had only been for half a year. Although this fox always loved to cause him trouble in front of other women, Tang Xian was still very tolerant towards Qing JiuYu.

Youthful infatuation is a truth applicable to most people.

Young men find it difficult to reject beautiful girls.

As long as one’s orientation is normal and they genuinely find the other person attractive, they will be exceptionally forgiving. It’s not until someone is around twenty-six or seven, or even thirty years old, that they can calm their restless hearts.

Tang Xian was an exception.

His tolerance towards Qing JiuYu was much like the patience a sensible person has for someone with an intellectual disability, and... the ordinary tolerance a common, unremarkable, powerless person has for a cataclysmic boss creature. Although he did like beautiful women.

While on the dragon’s back, Tang Xian glanced at Song Que.

Tang Xian quickly became stunned.

"The last time I saw this guy, his charm attribute shouldn’t have been this high, right?"

Charm is almost a semi-fixed attribute, and Tang Xian had never seen anyone whose charm would change within less than a year.

Then he noticed a slight change in Song Que’s temperament.

He frowned,

"Did the two personalities merge?"

After some thought, Tang Xian realized that up till now, the charm scoring standard had mainly been based on physical attractiveness, unrelated to inner temperament.

After all, even Tang Feiji and Dong Ran received high scores.

Song Que’s silly smile would indeed deduct some points. And this was due to his personality.

Some smiles, once the person’s character changes, even if the expression is the same, lack that same flavor.

For instance, if Tang Xian tried to make an innocent and carefree expression, even if Li Xiaoyu saw it, she’d probably want to curse him for being a drama king.
