ssiah smiled and nodded. Quickly, Wang Yu and Ling Longng’s surroundings changed and they were brought to the trial field.
"All trial players, it doesn’t include right..." Ling Longng looked at the quest information and asked ssiah.
With a smile, ssiah said: "Included."
"What a shaless old bull, I am going to kill you, why did you implicate !!" After three seconds of silence, Ling Longng pounced at Wang Yu so ferociously as though she wanted to swallow him alive.
Ling Longng was only there to have fun, who knew the punishnt for failure would be so severe.
The Personal Mount allowed for percentage increases in their speed and defence. Ling Longng was an Archer with low attack values and moved slowly, she was hoping that one day she will make her mark after earning a Personal Mount. Wang Yu’s current quest had eradicated her last glimpse of hope, how could she not be worried?
"Sighs..." Wang Yu dodged and pointed at ssiah and said: "I didn’t know too, it is him who conned you."
ssiah continued to smile: "You did not ask."
Wang Yu and Ling Longng: "..."
"Don’t be so negative." ssiah said: "If you complete the quest, you will be rewarded too."
It was all fine until ssiah said that. Once he said that, Ling Longng lost even more hope, what if...this NPC’s use of words had already hinted the success rate’s possibility, one in ten thousand.
"Sorry...I also did not know it would be like this." Wang Yu said extrely apologetically as he put himself in her shoes. Wang Yu’s attributes were already extre and yet, when he heard that he would not be able to learn Qing Gong, he reconsidered if he should take up the quest but Ling Longng, she counted on this for survival...
"There is no point saying this now. You have ruined my life, will you take responsibility?" Ling Longng asked.
"Forget about any responsibility, at most I will help you take revenge against anyone who bullies you." Wang Yu bargained.
Ling Longng disregarded him and said: "Alright alright, don’t waste your words, I can tell that you are not sincere. We might as well think about how to complete the quest."
"Hmm..." Wang Yu was speechless.
Actually, Ling Longng was quite easy-going, if it was anyone else who was conned like this, his life would be in danger. However, Ling Longng only got angry for a while and then, everything was fine. Such a character if nicely put, was being broad-minded, but to put it badly, it was being heartless. Then again, an archer who has attributes on top of intelligence and yet still plays with so much zeal could not be full of emotions.
ssiah’s trial was divided into three levels, high jump, running and the BOSS battle respectively.
After passing every level, the system would reward the players with a title, and after completing all three levels, the three titles would rge to beco a "Child of the Wind" title.
The main component of hidden quests and normal quests were rather similar. What was different was that the levels included more obstacles and the addition of the final BOSS which ssiah was as the competitor for the three levels. If ssiah’s results exceeded the players’, even if they pass all the levels safely, they would still fail.
Wang Yu finished reading the trial’s introduction and could not help but despise the system for being so shaless.
The initial settings were normal except that last one where ssiah was the competition, it was way too overboard.
ssiah was the Wind Elf. Competing with him and even having to outdo him, don’t they sound impossible?
The first level of the trial was called "Rising against the wind", whereby the three of them leaped up a mountain while obstacle items like stone and wood occasionally rolled down...and in the level’s settings, regardless of how high they jumped, so long they were hit by an item, they would have to start from the beginning, and this was the challenging part.
Pugilist’s professional high jump were their strength, and Wang Yu was also agile so he was initially very confident in this level, but after seeing how ssiah was floating in mid-air, he lost hope.
"How do you jump without legs?" Wang Yu asked ssiah as it was obvious he could not jump without legs.
"I can’t jump." ssiah said: "I can fly."
"...Is this trial really for players to complete?" Wang Yu was already numb towards the unfair quest settings. He did not show much agitated emotions upon hearing that his opponent could fly, instead, it answered the question he had.
The "Rising Against the Wind" level’s scene had more than a hundred platforms, and it was already tiring enough for the players to leap from one to another while having to deal with the falling items, and yet, the system opponent simply flew upwards...
One flew while one jumped, these two were obviously different, Wang Yu really questioned if the system intentionally pranked the players.
"Don’t have emotions, my abilities will weaken a lot, just co up with a way, and you can possibly win." ssiah said while preparing for battle to the distressed Wang Yu and Ling Longng: "Then again, so long either one of you defeats , it will count as both of you are victorious."
"Does it make a difference?" Wang Yu rolled his eyes at ssiah
Higher, faster and stronger, two of these were related to agility but Ling Longng was just a useless Archer. Could Wang Yu count on her to run faster or jump higher than the Wind Elf?
ssiah laughed and did not say anything. Ling Longng tugged Wang Yu and said: "I thought of a plan."
"A plan?" Wang Yu whispered: "What plan."
"We can do this." Ling Longng quietly explained her idea in the team channel.
Wang Yu listened to Ling Longng’s plan and rubbed his chin: "I can’t tell you could actually co up with such a good idea."
"Rubbish, of course a 30-odd level one with complete attributes in addition to top intelligence would be smarter than you." Ling Longng said haughtily.
Wang Yu hesitated and said: "It may be a good plan but your shalessness..."
"Urgh, what are you saying? The system has always been shaless, be face-conscious and you have lost." Ling Longng told Wang Yu condescendingly.
Wang Yu thought so too. Since the system was shaless enough to pit flying against jumping, it would not hurt for him to be shaless for once.
"Right, you make sense, let’s do as you said!"
Wang Yu finished speaking and stood up, coming close to ssiah.
ssiah smiled and asked: "Have you thought of a plan?"
"Finished thinking?"
"Shall we begin?"
"Ok, let’s begin!" Wang Yu pressed confirm, and the screen showed the countdown.
When the countdown reached one, ssiah was about to take flight when Wang Yu suddenly asked: "ssiah, what level are you at now?"
"The sa as you, level 40." ssiah said without much thought
"Haha, then I’m sorry!" Wang Yu said as he grabbed towards ssiah.
