With the cannon fodder script in hand, it is easy for the king to change his fate

Chapter 688 Ancestral Charlatan 13
"Masters, please take a look!"

With a smile, Chen Wan'an pointed to the waiter pushing a huge item. The item on the cart was covered with a silk cloth, so he didn't know what it was. When it was pushed in front of Chen Wan'an, he reached out and removed the silk cloth.

Only then did everyone realize that the giant object was actually a shelf, filled with countless boxes.

This made everyone frown again. What was inside the box?
The main screen in Wen's live stream right now is this shelf on the stage. Some people think it contains rewards, while others think it contains some special items, leaving it to the experts to guess.

"There are a total of 151 masters invited here today. I presume that all of you were aware of the rules and the purpose of the Wen family before you came?"

"The boxes on this shelf are the basic tests that the Wen family has given to all the masters. As long as you pass the basic tests, regardless of whether you find Miss Shi's reincarnation in the next month, you will receive a hardship fee of 500,000."

"If relevant clues are obtained and the Wen family deems them reasonable, there will be additional rewards."

"If any master manages to find Miss Shi's reincarnation, then Mr. Wen will keep his promise and give her a reward of one hundred million, as well as a favor from Mr. Wen."

“Alright, I won’t go into the rest,” Chen Wan’an said, turning to face the shelf. “There are two hundred boxes here, 151 of which contain gold paper with the names of various masters written on it.”

After he finished speaking, everyone present made a commotion.

The audience in the live stream reacted even more enthusiastically, with the barrage of comments flashing non-stop, all saying that as expected of the Wen family, they always go all out with such grand gestures.

Some people have already guessed what the next basic test will be.

"As you masters have probably guessed, yes, the basic test for today is to find the box containing a gold paper with your name written on it within one hour. Once you find it, you can take the gold paper with you as a souvenir."

"If you cannot find it within an hour, then unfortunately you have failed the test, but you may stay in the castle for three days."

Chen Wan'an smiled.

"Is there only one chance?" someone asked at that moment.

Chen Wan'an looked over and saw that the person asking the question was a young man, who was also a relatively famous streamer on the internet.

"Yes, there is only one chance. If you can't even find your own name, then it will be difficult for a master like you to find Miss Shi's reincarnation."

The young man who had asked the question felt Chen Wan'an's suspicious gaze, dared not meet it, and did not ask any more questions, a hint of regret flashing in his eyes.

He hadn't expected the Wen family's basic test to be like this: to find his name among two hundred boxes, one either needed real skill or incredible luck.

"If the name found is someone else's, what impact will it have on that person?" someone else asked, echoing the concerns of many.

"Don't worry, everyone, there won't be any problems. Please take a look." Chen Wan'an clapped his hands, and someone took out a remote control and pressed a button. The boxes on the shelf actually moved, as if they were being reset.

Then, the shelf was manipulated to turn around.

“Every time a master designates a box, if the box that is not yours is removed, it will be put back on to reset,” Chen Wan’an continued. “So there will be no impact.”

Those who lack real skills will find it difficult to pass the test.

When A-Zhuang saw those boxes, she was momentarily speechless at the client's luck.

There was some luck, but not much. Many people present looked grim; it wasn't easy to take advantage of this.

Azhen noticed a gaze and looked up to see Lin Xixi. In the other person's eyes, she was incompetent, and given the previous conflict, the other person was probably trying to figure out how to fool her, or was just waiting for her to reveal her true colors.

That would disappoint the other party.

"Alright, without further ado, the test begins. The timer will start in one minute. Masters, please prepare yourselves and show your skills." After saying this, Chen Wan'an stepped aside.

Just then, a man in his thirties, handsome and with an extraordinary demeanor, appeared. This man was Wen Song.

He glanced at the crowd indifferently: "I look forward to the performances of all the masters."

Then, he sat down to one side, a position from which he could see the expressions of everyone below.

A-Zhuang noticed that the other person paused noticeably when his gaze swept over Lin Xixi, and Lin Xixi smiled back at him, indicating that they knew each other.

It was just a brief greeting, and apart from Azhen, no one else noticed. Right now, everyone was racking their brains trying to pass the basic test.

Luo Yun took out tarot cards and started to divine. He knew his own abilities and didn't expect to be able to make an accurate prediction.

But it still requires some struggle.

She first observed the shelves, which had ten rows in total, with twenty boxes in each row.

So she first consults the tarot to choose a few rows, then consults the tarot to find the specific number. If she happens to get the number right, wouldn't it be wonderful to make 500,000? Although tarot cards aren't always accurate, they do have certain patterns. What if she actually guesses right?
Without further ado, Luo Yun got to work.

Just then, a middle-aged man suddenly stood up and began performing complex hand seals that many people couldn't understand, chanting incantations as he faced the shelf. Once the seals were complete, he pointed at the shelf and shouted sharply, "Open!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a box on the shelf opened with a click.

Both those present and the viewers were shocked, and the live chat was filled with exclamations of "Holy crap! So fast? This guy is a true master, opening the box remotely! There's no doubt about his skill."

Chen Wan'an was visibly stunned for a moment, but not surprised. He stood up, walked to the box, took out the gold paper, and then smiled at the middle-aged man, saying, "Congratulations, Master Zhou Shan, on successfully finding the box with your name on it within one minute."

Chen Wan'an put the gold paper back into the box and personally delivered it to Zhou Shan. His attitude was much better than before, and his eyes were full of respect.

Zhou Shan was used to it and was not surprised at all by this situation.

He was a rogue cultivator who had learned some skills, his greatest strength being telekinesis. Since he could telekinetically retrieve objects, wouldn't it be basic for him to see what was inside a box from a distance?

In truth, he had no confidence in finding Shi Yang's reincarnation and had no intention of doing so. He was only tempted by the rewards here and came to try his luck. Unexpectedly, the test was something he was good at, and he stumbled upon it.

With this 500,000 yuan, he could temporarily pay for his granddaughter's tuition and living expenses without having to work, and could then seek opportunities. Zhou Shan thought to himself.

Because he's a rogue cultivator, it's difficult for him to learn more profound techniques. Orthodox sects generally wouldn't accept someone his age.

Some sects even looked down on people. He had been humiliated and remembered it for a lifetime, which made him feel disgusted with those orthodox sects.
