Urban Peerless Expert-Chapter 3733 - 3752: I Only Have One Task, Take It or Leave It
The Gatekeeper was furious, but before he could say anything, an overwhelming aura, as vast as mountains and seas, suddenly pressed down on him.
The Gatekeeper was shocked, and a terrifying aura erupted from him as well. However, it was clear that the terrifying aura on Lin Chen was much more formidable.
The two stood in stark contrast, like a strong man and a delicate effeminate staring and confronting each other.
Completely not on the same level!
An expert only needs a glance to know; comparing the aura of the two, the Gatekeeper knew that in a real fight, he was destined to lose.
The Gatekeeper gritted his teeth: "You’re violating the rules. I will report to the divine spirit and have you severely punished."
Lin Chen said calmly: "The rules set by the Great One do not prohibit this. If I couldn’t complete it and forced you to let me pass, that would be against the rules."
The Gatekeeper shouted angrily: "I am the Gatekeeper, the tasks are issued by me!"
"Of course, you issue them!"
Lin Chen answered without hesitation: "I’m merely giving you a suggestion, suggesting that you assign me a certain task, and then you agree, issuing that task to me."
"Did the divine spirit say your task list couldn’t be shown to others, did the divine spirit say I couldn’t give suggestions?" 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢
The Gatekeeper was speechless, only furiously saying: "You are threatening me, this is against the rules."
Lin Chen said with a laugh: "Do you know what task the person initially wanted to give me in the First Level? They wanted me to beat up another Gatekeeper and take back his Magical Treasure. Even Gatekeepers can be fought, so what’s a little argument with you?"
"Such a small matter, if you report it to the divine spirit, will they really care? I haven’t violated the rules set by the Great One, as for you, whether or not you will be blamed by the Great One, I don’t know."
The Gatekeeper’s face turned livid.
Yes, for such a small matter, if it’s really reported to the divine spirit, they might blame Lin Chen, or might not, or they might blame me. Who can say for sure?
The outcome depends on the divine spirit’s mood, doesn’t it?
I resent the other party for being of a different race, but the fact that they can participate in this Game at least shows that they are a full member of the sect above the Heavenly Sect, and their status within the sect is not low. And what about me?
Just an obscure Gatekeeper.
Dare to gamble?
No, I dare not!
Lin Chen looked at the change in expression of the other party and roughly knew what the other was thinking, advising: "Neither of us has violated the rules. What’s the harm in giving a little convenience, why escalate to an irreconcilable point?"
The Gatekeeper was silent for a few seconds, took out a notebook, and threw it to Lin Chen.
Lin Chen smiled slightly, selected a task from it, then respectfully handed the notebook back with both hands.
"Thank you, Senior, for making this possible. The task I have chosen is..."
The tasks prepared by the Gatekeeper varied but were generally similar, mostly about showcasing one’s martial prowess or ability in a certain aspect.
Lin Chen had learned a lot and was considered top-tier in his realm, so among so many tasks, selecting a relatively simple one was bound to be completed easily.
Soon, Lin Chen completed the task and passed the Second Stage.
He continued north.
At each Barrier, Lin Chen would use the same method, threaten the other party to let himself choose a task, then pick one he was good at, quickly complete it, and continue forward.
Lin Chen believed that among so many contestants, there were undoubtedly smart people, strong people, and this approach was not unique to him.
Lin Chen continuously broke through levels, proceeding forward.
All the Gatekeepers he encountered were very angry, most eventually agreed to Lin Chen’s request, but there were a few who refused even at the risk of death.
For those who refused to the death, Lin Chen didn’t waste words, simply turned around and left, looking for the next Gatekeeper and repeating the same tactic.
Lin Chen broke through five levels in a row, very smoothly, but he was quite surprised in his heart.
Wasn’t it said that there were all sorts of good things in the paradise? Why hadn’t he seen any?
With doubts, Lin Chen arrived at the Sixth Level.
Lin Chen applied the same trick again, threatening the Gatekeeper to show him the task list to choose from.
The Gatekeeper, however, smiled.
"Looks like you got here so quickly by using this method, right?"
Lin Chen answered confidently: "I haven’t violated any rules, have I?"
The Gatekeeper smiled mockingly: "Indeed, it’s not against the rules, but unfortunately this trick doesn’t work on me."
Lin Chen raised an eyebrow: "What do you mean?"
The Gatekeeper replied: "Because here, I only have one task."
Lin Chen looked surprised: "Only one task, you’re not lying to me, are you?"
The Gatekeeper laughed heartily: "There’s only one rule here: anyone who can consecutively defeat three challengers will receive a gift and successfully pass."
"If you are confident, then try it. If you’re not, you can leave now."
Lin Chen hesitated.
It’s not that he wasn’t confident in his strength, but he was considering the time cost.
Wasting too much time, wouldn’t that delay the breakthroughs?
What if others have gone ahead?
The Gatekeeper said indifferently: "The first five levels warm you up and help you find the rhythm. The later levels really start to get challenging, but in the subsequent levels, as long as you complete the tasks, you can earn a gift."
"In the later levels, each Gatekeeper only has one task available, so your previous little tricks won’t work."
Lin Chen looked back: "There are no other people here. If I have to wait for three opponents, won’t I be waiting for a long time?"
The Gatekeeper casually pointed, and a Light Door appeared ahead. The Gatekeeper opened his palm, and a badge appeared.
"Take this badge, enter the Light Door, and others from different areas arriving at this level will be transported into the space. You will battle in the space. Losers will surrender their badges and exit through the Light Door. Winners who collect three badges can return, hand them over to me, receive a reward, and pass the level."
Lin Chen asked: "Is this rule the same for all contestants who reach this level?"
"Not exactly."
The Gatekeeper’s tone was calm: "Each area has its own rule. If you’re unwilling, you can continue along this Barrier and perhaps find another rule."
Lin Chen understood.
The Sixth Level might be divided into multiple areas, each area has its own rule. If you don’t participate, you’ll need to move to the next area and take on their set challenges.
Whether or not you can complete it is one thing, but wasting time is certain.
While you’re going in circles looking to complete tasks, others might have already broken through strongly, heading to the Seventh Level.
Lin Chen didn’t waste words any more, reached out and took the badge, confirming: "Through this Light Door, win three rounds, collect four badges in total, and that’ll count as passing, right?"
"Yes, defeating one person means you can take one badge from them. Even if they have three badges, you can only take one. You must win three consecutive matches. If you lose, you can try again."
"Alright, I’ll be back soon."
Lin Chen took the badge and stepped directly into the Light Door.
