The weapon refiner is not doing her job properly

Chapter 3 Entering the Simulator

Children like to compare themselves with others and they don’t want to be outdone by Su Ninglong.

Listening intently to Xing Qiren's second question.

"On the dinner table, there are green vegetables, meat, and porridge. Your mother tells you to eat more vegetables so that you can have a balanced diet. Your father tells you to eat more meat so that you can grow taller. Your grandmother tells you to eat porridge because it is easy to digest. What will you choose?"

The two children answered.

"I...I listened to my mom and ate my vegetables."

Another child said cautiously, "I'll listen to my mother, but after eating vegetables, I have to eat meat."

Xing Qiren looked at the quiet Su Ninglong, "What about you? What will you choose?"

"Adults need to make choices, but children want everything." Su Ninglong held up her cheek, "I'm not picky about food."

Is this okay? The two children were about to cry. They felt that what she said was right because every adult said that children should not be picky about food.

Su Ninglong found their reaction quite amusing. In order not to affect the subsequent test, he added: "Although I can't choose, because I don't have the financial power."

Although they didn't know what Su Ninglong meant by economic power, they were inexplicably comforted.

"One last question." Xing Qiren ticked the form again, "Do you know what a black shadow is?"

This time, it was Su Ninglong's turn to be unable to answer.

"I, I know." The child said fearfully, "My mom told me they are evil spirits that eat people."

Another child rushed in, saying, "I heard other kids say the shadow was a monster, three stories tall, and could swallow a person in one bite."

Su Ninglong asked: "So, what is the black shadow?"

Her big eyes were full of curiosity, even though she could accept a lot of information from the outside world in the tavern.

In fact, the adults who come to drink know exactly what they should and should not say.

They can argue and fight, but they know the limits when teasing children.

After all, saying something wrong may affect a child's life, and it is more likely that he will be beaten by the female warrior Zou Shuyi.

Zou Shuyi can run a bar on her own, so naturally she is not a pushover and is very good at beating people up.

The fight was stopped last night thanks to Zou Valkyrie's powerful bench strike that knocked out the two conflict creators.

Xing Qiren was surprised. They didn't expect that Su Ninglong, who appeared the most mature and steady, actually knew the least about the black shadow.

The child's parents are good and they didn't instill in him the idea that the shadow is a scary monster.

He became more and more satisfied with Su Ninglong and his work attitude became more positive.

Maybe today there will really be a child who joins the Star Alliance. As long as he discovers one, he can join the Star Alliance and be the child's guide.

The salary for that job is much better than staying here.

"Okay, let's go to the next level."

"The next level is a pretend game. Remember, it's a game. Within the game, you can disobey anyone and move freely, or you can stand still. If you encounter something scary, just quit. If you can hold on for ten minutes, you'll pass the second level. Do you understand?"

Su Ninglong still couldn't figure out what test was going on, so he had to remain silent.

Xing Qiren took them to another room.

The room is very large. What catches your eye is a large machine placed in the center. Below the machine, a helmet-shaped simulator is installed.

He pulled the three of them and said, "Remember, if you're scared, just exit. There's an exit button set up for you on the screen."

He didn't know what the three children were about to face, so he had to remind them again and again.

One of the children resisted putting on the helmet and burst into tears, "I...I won't go in."

The other older children told him that there were terrible monsters in there that would take him away and not let him see his parents, so he was scared.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, we won't force you to go in. If you don't want to go in, just wait here, okay? We can leave in ten minutes." Brother Xing Qiren was so gentle, and his soothing effect was very good.

The child's fear eased a little.

The only people who went in were Su Ninglong and another child. "Are you scared?"

"I'm not afraid," Su Ninglong said. The other child also shook his head to indicate that he wasn't afraid.

Xing Qiren put helmets on the two of them and said, "Well, I wish you good luck."

Countdown three, two, one.

The helmet turns black and the scene changes.

Su Ninglong and another child found themselves in a dilapidated banquet hall. The huge chandelier above their heads was swaying in the wind and seemed to be about to fall.

The banquet hall was occupied by an extra-large long table, on which was placed smelly food.

The candlelight is so bright that you can see the maggots bubbling in the food.

The sounds of chewing and swallowing food came from the direction of the main seat at the long table, tempting people to come over.

The scene arrangement alone gives people a very scary mental hint, as if telling them that there is danger waiting for them ahead.

Brother Xingqiren has clearly hinted that players can move freely or choose to stay where they are. Once ten minutes have passed, they will pass the level.

But is this playing house? Who would use such a horrific scene when playing house?

"Sister, I'm scared. Can I follow you?" Another child grabbed Su Ninglong's sleeve.

"How old are you? I'm just four."

"I'm four and a half."

"You're older than me, why are you pretending to be my younger brother? You'd better stay where you are. I won't take care of you." Su Ninglong shook off his hand, stood on tiptoe, and picked up the knife and fork on the plate.

Weighing it, it's a bit heavy, but the metallic luster is very bright and there is no oxidation, which is perfect for children.

Cultivators are indifferent to emotions. Su Ninglong believes that apart from the kindness of parents and the relationship between master and disciple, he does not need to care about anything else.

Su Ninglong didn't want to take the strange child with her, since he wouldn't die in the simulator anyway.

The child was not angry at Su Ninglong's attitude, and followed her closely.

Instead, it strengthened his determination, and he also followed Su Ninglong's example and took things from the table.

His imitation was a bit funny. He picked up an empty plate and walked away holding it in his arms.

"Sister, let's get the cutlery. Are we going to find something delicious? You can't eat anything here. It stinks."

She looked at the current scene with a sense of vigilance.

He thought that others wanted them to find something delicious.

"So you are the king."

Child:"???"

The two alliance leaders who were watching the child's performance in the monitoring room looked at Su Ninglong as she boldly walked forward and said, "This girl is really interesting. She doesn't think she can defeat the shadow with a knife and fork, does she?"

"She doesn't understand what a shadow is."

"Aren't boys more interesting? They can still enjoy themselves in such a horrific scene."

"Would you like to make a bet?"

"Don't gamble. No matter how good your performance is in the early stages, you will fall to curiosity."

Su Ninglong walked slowly, stopped for a while, touched the chair, touched the wall, and occasionally pulled out the chair to see if it could be pulled.

Some people even use a knife and fork to write "I was here" on the wall, which is an uncivilized behavior.

The child behind her was stunned and didn't understand what Su Ninglong was going to do.

What else could Su Ninglong do? Of course, he wanted to know the realism of the scene and test his own senses.
