420: Chapter 419 Manager

Looking at the little girl who was climbing frantically like a rabbit, Chu Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Is this... using an item like a teleportation scroll to get here? Or is it some other means..."

In that brief moment, Chu Xuan used his Eye of Insight.

This girl's name was Xuan Xuan.

Her basic attributes came into view; stamina, strength, agility, spirit, and Charm—all five of these attributes were actually 125 points.

The rest were basically question marks.

This wasn't what Chu Xuan was most concerned about.

What caught his attention particularly was her race.

[Human (???)]

Normally, if it were a Specter, what he saw would directly display Specter.

If it were someone symbiotic with a Specter like the Resurrection Society, the note in brackets would show "Abnormal."

For someone like Junior Brother Shen Guyun who came from another world, it would be labeled "Cangyun World."

This was the first time Chu Xuan had seen someone like Xuan Xuan, where it directly showed a question mark.

Chu Xuan invested some spirituality value and discovered that she had two Talents.

One of the Talents was called [Infiltration]. Its ability allowed her to consume spirituality value and Mental Energy to sneak into various closed places without violating the corresponding rules.

For example, barriers, Dark Places, and even other worlds.

Just as Chu Xuan was about to invest more spirituality value for a closer look, the little girl above suddenly turned around and said with a face full of resentment:

"Stop looking! Stop looking! If you keep looking, you'll see right through to my underwear..."

As she spoke, her speed increased, and she was over a hundred meters away in the blink of an eye.

"There are more and more strange people..." Chu Xuan lowered his eyes slightly. He didn't chase after her but continued drinking the high-grade life essence.

Meanwhile, Shen Ba, with his long hair and pale, sinister appearance, had already stepped onto the final step and reached the mountaintop.

Buzz~~

With a dull, soft sound, the castle gates opened, and a Minotaur walked out, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, wearing a black top hat, and carrying a small blackboard on his shoulder.

"Congratulations, you are the first Challenger to reach the top. You have earned 50 points!"

The Minotaur set up the blackboard stand, then pulled a piece of chalk from his pocket and wrote the words "1st Place: 50 points."

Shen Ba raised an eyebrow. "Who are you? What are these points for?"

"Ho ho ho! You can call me Mr. Niu. I am the Administrator of the castle." The Minotaur let out a strange laugh.

"As for the purpose of the points, they are a vital part of your second trial. I will tell you once everyone has arrived."

"Heh! Playing tricks!" Shen Ba gave a disdainful smile and stepped toward the Minotaur, but after only a few steps, he froze in place.

"Ho ho ho! Brave human, do you want to kill me?" the Minotaur laughed.

"You should be glad that Challengers cannot fight or kill each other yet, and the Administrator cannot take the initiative to attack Challengers. Otherwise... you would be dead by now."

"Administrator?" A sinister voice rang out from the mountain steps. "What level are you? How are you worthy of wearing the same style of clothes as me?"

Long Shan stepped up.

With one hand in his pocket, he slicked back his hair and said lazily, "I've participated in so many missions, and I've never heard of any Administrator..."

As he spoke, he suddenly craned his neck, revealing stark white teeth. "Could it be that you're just like us, a Challenger who used some special ability to climb the mountain early?"

"If you doubt my identity, you can try to attack me once the Combat Ban ends." The Minotaur laughed "ho ho," then used the chalk to write another line of small characters:

"2nd Place: 40 points!"

Long Shan tilted his neck. "To think there's such a big point difference from first place. If I'd known, I would've been faster."

"Heh! Faster?"

Shen Ba mocked, "I deliberately slowed down to foster the growth of a special ability, yet you're still so useless... Your teammates didn't come up; could it be you ate them all? If I'm right, then you're even more worthless!"

"Shen Ba, you're too arrogant!"

Long Shan said with a cold face, "If I hadn't believed the Revelation, reset my attributes, and left over attribute points I can't add back yet, this mountain wouldn't have stopped me! Once the time is right and I eat those little brothers, would you still dare speak to me like this?"

"What's with all the 'ifs'? Trash is trash!" Shen Ba folded his arms and sneered.

A murderous glint appeared in Long Shan's eyes, then slowly faded.

After a while, heavy footsteps came from below.

Cai Hou and Fat Pig came up, both drenched in sweat, their clothes soaked.

Especially Fat Pig; his sweat even had an oily sheen.

"Tied for 3rd Place! You two get 30 points each!" the Minotaur shouted, continuing to write with the chalk.

"Hehe, another two pieces of trash." Shen Ba gave a disdainful smile.

Cai Hou leaped onto Fat Pig's shoulder and chuckled. "That's right, we're all trash. We can't compare to a Genius like you."

Shen Ba's face darkened. "What did you say?"

"I said you're a Genius." Cai Hou shrugged. "We're all trash. By comparison, of course you're a Genius."

Shen Ba said coldly, "Why do I feel like there's a hidden meaning in your words?"

"I wouldn't dare." Cai Hou shrugged. Suddenly feeling Long Shan's icy gaze fixed on him, he quickly added with a smile, "You're a Genius too."

Long Shan pointed to the scar on his face and suddenly smiled. "Did I mention before that I was going to settle the score with you here?"

"Ahem!" The Minotaur coughed lightly.

"A friendly reminder: no fighting is allowed here. Your Systems won't keep giving you prompts. Be careful not to trigger the instant-death rule."
