It was impossible for the puppet to make a second seemingly unreasonable request for no reason.
At first glance, the second request naturally seemed unreasonable because it was just a verbal promise and a chance to start over. There was no substantial reward!
As long as one was not stupid, very few people would choose the second option.
However, such an unreasonable request was made by the puppet in such a grand manner. There was definitely a deeper meaning behind it!
Moreover, Xiao Chen carefully pondered the meaning of the puppet's words. He could also tell that the reason for the two options was that the puppet was satisfied with his performance this time. Otherwise, there would definitely be only one option, which was to obtain the reward of the first place in this assessment under normal circumstances!
Therefore, from this aspect, the second option was likely to have a greater significance than the normal reward. It was precisely because of this that Xiao Chen had to pay attention to it.
The puppet would never make a seemingly useless request for no reason. In that case, it could only mean that the benefits that Xiao Chen might get from the second option were actually far more generous than some material rewards.
"Xiao Zhong, what do you think?" Although Xiao Chen was already leaning towards the second option, he still had to ask for Donghuang Zhong's opinion. After all, Donghuang Zhong was definitely more experienced in dealing with this kind of situation.
"Big Brother Xiao, I think I also agree with your opinion. It's better to choose the second option. I'm still thinking about the reward for the first round. Although Big Brother got the first place and is powerful, it shouldn't be too trashy. However, it's just a reward for the assessment after all. No matter how valuable it is, it can't be that valuable! In contrast, the second option of the puppet might have a more important role! "Donghuang Zhong encouraged Xiao Chen to choose the second option almost without any hesitation.
"I'm sure Big Brother Xiao has already seen through it! Although this puppet was just a puppet, it possessed a very high level of intelligence. Usually, when a puppet gave two choices, it meant that the master of the Cloud Secret Realm had given it a lot of freedom to choose. Therefore, not everyone who obtained first place would get the opportunity to choose the second option.
Therefore, the second option definitely had an extremely deep meaning. Moreover, the assessment here would definitely be complicated and full of danger. Most importantly, it would be difficult to figure out the thoughts of the master of the Cloud Secret Realm.
However, this puppet said that it could give Big Brother Xiao a chance to try again after you failed. This chance is definitely very precious and extremely hard to come by!
An extra chance to restart means that Big Brother Xiao will have a greater chance of successfully passing the third round. Therefore, I feel that although it's just a chance to restart, it's still much better than the substantial reward for this round. Of course, this is just my suggestion. Big Brother Xiao, you can make your own judgment! "
Donghuang Zhong stated her judgment in one breath and let Xiao Chen make his own choice!
However, Xiao Chen did not hesitate at all. He directly cupped his fists towards the puppet and said respectfully, "I choose the second option!"
"Really?" A look of approval flashed across the puppet's eyes when it heard this. However, it still reminded him, "You should know that you only have one chance to choose. Once you choose the second option, this reward will be equivalent to having no use if you can't pass the second round and reach the third round. You won't be able to get any compensation either. So, have you thought it through?"
When Xiao Chen heard this, his eyes flashed and he nodded with incomparable determination. "Yes, I have thought it through. I choose the second option!"
If the puppet did not remind him repeatedly, perhaps Xiao Chen would still be a little nervous. However, when the puppet repeatedly reminded him of the importance of making the second option, there was no longer any doubt in Xiao Chen's heart.
Because if the second choice didn't have much significance, the puppet wouldn't have reminded him time and time again to choose carefully. The repeated reminders meant that the second choice was, to a certain extent, a much more useful reward than the first one, which was a direct and substantial reward! Therefore, Xiao Chen was completely relieved!
"Very good. Your talent and comprehension are not bad. Moreover, if you have the guts and did not let the petty benefits go to your head, I can tell you that you will make the choice now that you will not regret it! I look forward to your next performance. I hope you won't let me down! " The puppet nodded and directly told Xiao Chen that his choice was not wrong. This made Xiao Chen feel much more at ease!
"Thank you, Senior!" Xiao Chen was overjoyed, and he bowed repeatedly to express his gratitude!
The puppet paid no further attention to him, and it gazed at the crowd on the square with unsightly expressions.
"The first test has come to an end. All of you who have not passed can enter the second test. However, I hope that all of you will remember that the second test carries the risk of death. If you are unable to pass the second test or are unable to attain the minimum passing standards, then you will be unable to enter the third test. I hope all of you will remember this!"
As soon as the puppet finished speaking, it waved its hand, and everyone was able to clearly sense that the pressure on the square had instantly vanished!
On the other hand, a towering mountain seemed to have appeared at the edge of the square.
"The second test is to arrive at the peak of the mountain within a fixed amount of time. Some special things will appear during the process of ascending the mountain, and if you're able to seize those special things and successfully ascend to the peak, then you'll obtain additional benefits. I have to remind all of you that these special things are related to the final test of the third test, and whether all of you will be able to successfully obtain the Immortal Technique!" The puppet pointed at the towering mountain as it spoke indifferently.
Everyone was shocked in their hearts, and then they looked towards the mountain.
The puppet's voice slowly resounded once more!
"There are only 10 special things. In other words, only 10 people will be able to guarantee that their chances of obtaining the Immortal Technique will increase greatly. If you're unable to seize the special things, then even if you enter the third test, then your chances of obtaining the Immortal Technique will be extremely tiny!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd went into an uproar.
Because the puppet's words meant that they would definitely have to fight to the death during the process of ascending the mountain.
There were only 10 special things, yet there were a few hundred people here!
