Once Again...

If Zhang Mei Xing had been around, she would have told the guy, 'Nah, you're just thinking too much. The reason you instinctively wanted to see the old lady is that she's the one who handled your funeral.'

However, when Zhang Mei Xing finally went back to her examinee's side, it was late already at night, after she explored the city and tailed Long Lingqing through the Static World. She followed the person for a few hours to study Long Lingqing's mannerisms and speech patterns. After all, the girl had the highest chance of being selected as her 'vessel' for the latter half of the test.

When she remembered to check on Chen Fang, it was already nighttime, and the man was on his way to the bus station.

"Now, let's see what tool is the most applicable for this guy." Zhang Mei Xing had no problem talking to herself now since she was the only one around.

She summoned her user interface and briefly checked the criteria needed to be evaluated this time. When she saw 'Counterattack', 'Avoid Death', and 'Become Someone Extraordinary', she almost laughed. The system, or rather, the Temple really had a funny naming sense.

Then she navigated to her desired page.

'Tools That Can Be Lent… Tools… Here it is.' Expectations danced in her bright eyes as she waited for the screen to load the options. Though like the first time she discovered the page, the excitement immediately vanished. The first few words even made her purse her lips in annoyance.

Scene Overwrite Ticket. The name really brought back unpleasant memories.

The list presented to her went like this.

***

Option 1: Scene Overwrite Ticket: A Fateful Encounter With A Dying Urban Cultivator In Need of A Successor

- Target has a high chance of bestowing rare treasure to the examinee.

Option 2: Scene Overwrite Ticket: A Fateful Encounter with A Fraud Seller

- Target has a hundred percent chance of selling a cheat item related to luck and cultivation.

Option 3: Scene Overwrite Ticket: A Fateful Encounter With A Fox Demoness

- Target is definitely dying and in need of a temporary vessel or a man to…

- Both routes have a hundred percent chance of leading the examinee to the hidden world of cultivators.

Zhang Mei Xing almost vomited blood because of the last option. Several thoughts flickered in her mind.

Who the hell made these choices? The gods secretly peeping from nowhere, watching to kill time? Or the senior guides who wanted to cater to the whims of those gods, the clients of the Temple?

The hell! The third one was even emphasized for having one additional line.

Yet no matter which of these three she chose, Chen Fang would have no choice but enter the hidden cultivation world. The third choice already hinted it would most likely become a YY story. If his life would be made into a novel or comics, almost certainly it would be a harem one!

Was this what those bored gods wanted to see?

"No. No. Wait. I've been blindly predicting stuff using those materials as a basis. This is different. This is reality."

Zhang Mei Xing lightly slapped her cheeks before she glanced at her examinee currently sleeping peacefully on his seat as the bus sped along the highway.

"This guy doesn't look like someone who will descend into depravity and immorality, does he? So maybe I should not be so pessimistic?"

Zhang Mei Xing reflected and recalled that there were still decent stories with harems and that there were fiction works about modern cultivation with no harem. Well, even if there were not, she was wrong to assume that all possibilities had already been written down by fiction writers.

The guide who was not fond of harem took some time to ponder which option she should select.

Yet when she was about to press the first button, it suddenly greyed out. In other words, she could only choose the… wait… The button for the second choice turned unclickable too… Once again, there is only one option available, prompting her to glare at the floating pop-up window.

"… This is really making me speechless."
