Saving the World in an Apocalypse-Style Text Game-Chapter 754 - 368 Unexpected Rewards from the Test, Wet Nurse’s Descendant_1
[...]
[Transport successful!]
[You open your eyes and find yourself in the familiar book room, but you see no sign of ’Flandre’ and ’Jinmu’.]
[In the entire book room, it’s just you and the ’Librarian’.]
[You quickly walk to the door of the book room, peek out, and find neither of them in the ’Angelic Nest’.]
???
"What’s going on?"
Did the transportation leave Flandre and Jinmu behind? Or were Flandre and Jinmu never transported into the dungeon to begin with...
[Turning to the ’Librarian’, you see his slightly awkward expression. "Congratulations, Apostle, you’ve passed the test," he says somewhat sheepishly.]
[Obviously, as the ’Librarian’, he has the power to be aware of the general situation within the test. He knows that you went through an extraordinarily difficult test.]
[For now, you can’t deal with his embarrassment as you quickly ask where the two marked characters went.]
[The ’Librarian’s’ expression grows even more awkward. He makes adjustment to the single-lens glasses on his face. The wrinkles on his elderly face scrunch together as he hesitates to say, "Well, they’re still in the test..."]
[For some reason, some unexpected issues occurred during the exam, which he could not control, leading the two figures to still remain inside the test.]
[They also need to complete the ’Minor Campaign Victory’ goal like you, otherwise they won’t be able to exit the test properly.]
Lin Xun can’t help but grind his teeth. He had planned to let the two Demigod bodyguards carry him effortlessly, but instead, it seems he ended up losing what he tried to gain.
Now he has inadvertently pulled Flandre and Jinmu into it as well.
[Seeing your disgruntled face, the ’Librarian’ quickly waves his hand in explanation, "Nobody wanted this to happen."]
[The original test process shouldn’t have been like this, it suddenly changed after your transport.]
[According to the rules, everything was abided by; activating the Teleportation Gate was also the required method of entry.]
[The assistance of the two story-concerned characters was a benefit you gained in the passage.]
[There was no violation in the whole process, and such an accident should not have occurred. It is really strange...]
The ’Librarian’ couldn’t understand why such an accident occurred either.]
Lin Xun frowns.
He originally thought the assistance from the librarian was like cheating, leading to the backlash of the underworld game.
It wasn’t until the librarian explained that he discovered this was not the case.
If the challenges were compared to an ancient western battle, it would be perfectly reasonable for a fallen knight without a squire to head alone into battle.
But isn’t it normal for a noble knight to bring a few squires to the front line?
If this was considered cheating and was punished by forcing the noble knight to duel the enemy’s castle dragon, wouldn’t that be a bit too outrageous?
Not only that, after overcoming numerous difficulties and successfully slaying the dragon, the knight finally triumphs.
But the squire is now forced to stay on the battlefield and is required to continue attacking the city.
Isn’t this even more ridiculous?
"It doesn’t make sense...why would it be like this?"
[You quickly ask the ’Librarian’, how are the two story-related characters progressing in the test? When can they come out? Can you go back in to aid them?]
[The ’Librarian’ shakes his head in resignation, indicating that you can’t go back to the battlefield, and that the two story-related characters are not in any form of danger for now. You’ll find out soon.]
[He reminds you, just because they are still in the test doesn’t mean it’s necessarily a bad thing for you.]
"I’ve lost my two top bodyguards, how could this be a good thing?"
Lin Xun can’t help but blurt out.
Upon reconsidering, with the capabilities of Flandre and Jinmu, wouldn’t it be easy for them to crush the underlings on the battlefield?
Even the presence of a strong Sacred Object warrior might not last one round under their hands.
The two of them achieving the ’Minor Campaign Victory’ goal would be much easier than him.
Unless...unless they run into other Wet Nurse offspring.
"Shoot, bad luck mouth!"
[The ’Librarian’ continues to talk. Although the difficulty of the test has greatly increased due to unforeseen factors, the corresponding reward has also greatly increased.]
[The reward after you perfectly pass the test will be extremely generous. Not only that, if the two story-related characters also pass the test, the reward you receive will be even higher.]
[The ’Librarian’ indicates for you to be patient, and suggests you first check the reward you receive.]
[He reaches into his robe, takes out a bookmark and hands it to you...]
[You have obtained ’Sacred Object Bookmark*1’.]
"That’s it?"
Lin Xun had also obtained a Sacred Object bookmark in the previous Chapter.
After using it, he matched with an apostle of three difficulties, and the Sacred Object he managed to plunder from the successful invasion was a sad S-tier, a ’Sacred Object Fragment’ with only a 10% increase.
The same tier of Sacred Objects can’t be equipped multiple times. Lin Xun’s type Ⅲ, type Ⅳ, and type Ⅴ Sacred Objects all amplify by 50%, which are ultimate Sacred Objects. There’s no need to swap a high-tier Sacred Object to equip a crappy one.
A low-level Sacred Object that can’t be traded essentially has no value in his eyes.
Now that he has leveled up again, the ’Sacred Object Bookmark’ would probably just match him with a low-level type Ⅲ or type Ⅳ Sacred Object.
[The ’Librarian’ reaches into his robe and pulls out another bookmark to hand to you...]
