Chapter 1184: Just Reverse the Flow of Time

“Once you get strong enough to reverse the flow of time, even if a thousand year have passed, you’d still be able to see your parents,” said 2333.
Ning Shu: F*cking scram!
Reverse the flow of time? How powerful would she need to be!? If she was that powerful, the first thing she’d do was get rid of 2333.
She sighed. She just wanted to go home and visit them.
“Your next task is an examination task for intermediate task-takers,” said 2333. “There’s an examination task with every promotion.”
Ning Shu recalled that troll task with Mu Yanmeng and those seven calabash brothers. She suddenly had a bad feeling. “Is it a normal task?”
“There are normal and not normal tasks?” 2333 sounded confused. “A task is just a task.”
A system seriously would never understand the feelings of people, their feelings of wanting to fall apart.
“What if I fail the task? What if I fail the examination task?” asked Ning Shu. “Will I be exterminated?”
“Of course. And if you fail, your title of intermediate task-taker will be cancelled and the points required to become an intermediate task-taker again will be doubled. It’ll take six million points,” said 2333.
Ning Shu: ...
What a troll! Life was so hard.
“By the way, you can’t exchange for anything in this examination task. Even if you do, you won’t be able to use them,” added 2333.
Ning Shu hurriedly asked, “Not even the most basic necessities? Not even fasting pills and water?”
“Yes,” emphasized 2333. “You can’t use anything~~~”

“Why is it such a troll?” asked Ning Shu, a bit puzzled. “Why does it feel like this task is trying to kill people off?”
“No, this task is just to test the abilities of the task-taker in various aspects. It’s to figure out their skills when they’re in an environment where they can’t rely on external resources,” replied 2333 matter-of-factly.
Ning Shu: ....
“Then can I practice the Unsurpassable Martial Arts and concoct poison?” asked Ning Shu weakly.
“Those are your own capabilities, so they can be used. As long as it’s not something obtained from the system, you can use them,” said 2333.
Ning Shu then asked, “Then can I use my two props, the calmness halo and the protective talisman?”
She had a feeling that this task would be very difficult, so she definitely had to ask all the necessary questions.
“Oh, those two are ok. Since they were exchanged for with merit and faith points, they belong to you for life,” said 2333.
As expected, faith and merit points were the most valuable. Experience points weren’t worth much compared with those two.
It was just that she didn’t know how to get merit and faith points.
“Can I ask what kind of world the exam will be in? Ancient or modern?” asked Ning Shu.
2333 said offhandedly, “It’s a random raffle.”
Ning Shu: ...
Dammit, now she regretted not adding all the attribute points to luck. She felt inexplicably lacking in confidence when it came to the kinds of things that depended on luck.
“Will the task be difficult?” asked Ning Shu.
“It’s random, depends on your luck. It might be really difficult or it might be really simple. It all depends on what task you get. Haven’t you heard of the proverb that luck is also a kind of strength?” 2333 said flippantly, “Good luck, I have high hopes for you!”
“...Thanks,” said Ning Shu weakly.
Ning Shu took a deep breath, sat down on the ground, and started practicing the Unsurpassable Martial Arts. Regardless of what kind of task it was, she needed to keep her energy up.
After training for a while, she opened her eyes. She felt a little anxious. She was a little nervous about this task. If she failed, not only would her title of intermediate task-taker be canceled, next upgrade wouldn’t just take three million points, it’d take six million.
Just the sound of this number made her feel despair. After all that work to upgrade! Ning Shu really hoped that the task this time would be a simple one.
