Time Traveler Help Hotline

Testing a newcomer's potential and awarding them an excellent rating seems to be an indispensable part of online novels. This is what Chen Zhuzhu, with her extensive reading experience, thought.

They eventually stopped in front of a room.

The door slid open silently, revealing four snow-white walls. The only furnishing in the room was a large horizontal mirror on the east wall, like a mirror used in a dance studio to check for mistakes.

Chen Zhuzhu saw her somewhat helpless reflection in the mirror. In this excessively clean and absolutely quiet space, facing this huge mirror, she felt that all her secrets had been laid bare, and a sense of embarrassment at being forced to expose her inner self arose spontaneously.

"Did you try to analyze your surroundings with your own abilities along the way?" Ji Mo suddenly asked.

Chen Zhuzhu gave a guilty "hmm," and said, "But I can hardly see anything."

"I know, I don't blame you." Ji Mo was an excellent guide, knowledgeable and calm, able to put people at ease with just a few words. "After introducing the organization, I'll give you a basic overview of the extraordinary world, such as levels."

"Extraordinary power is divided into nine levels, from weakest to strongest. Apart from the crucial step of awakening from 0 to 1, every three levels thereafter represents a major leap in one's level of life."

「1到3阶属于低阶，仍然受限于先天的寿命。4到6阶在普通小世界里已经算得上强者。而7到9阶……」

Ji Mo paused briefly before explaining, "I mentioned the existence of gods before. In the traditional sense, gods are born of heaven and earth, with an extremely high starting point, being born at least at the 7th rank. Therefore, in that era, the 7th rank and above were considered the 'realm of gods.' However, nowadays, the beings referred to as gods generally refer to 9th rank powerhouses."

"Under normal circumstances, you can use this as a reference for combat strength."

"But ability and the combination of skills mastered are also factors that influence combat."

Chen Zhuzhu recalled her ability: [Observer].

Since she possesses reconnaissance abilities, she should also have powerful offensive abilities.

"I hope you won't be misled by the shows you've seen before and think that human combat methods can only rely on props and various randomly obtained skills. If you do, you'll really fall for the show's trick."

"Just like some people are naturally able to communicate with animals and are more likely to tame them, it doesn't mean that others who can't understand animal sounds can't be animal trainers."

"Learning how to tame wild animals is a skill; being born with the ability to communicate with animals is a capacity."

"The former can be learned later in life, while the latter is a natural gift that cannot be inherited through blood."

"Just like your reconnaissance abilities, there are also general reconnaissance techniques that can be learned as substitutes."

"By the way, not everyone has abilities, and not every ability is useful. Some people have the ability of fire element affinity, but if they are a water element spirit, then that ability is as good as non-existent."

As Ji Mo spoke, she regretted not bringing up Jiu Chonglou as an example. Her numerous and outrageous skills, which were even more absurd than her actual abilities, were the best proof.

"Some abilities are so special that they allow the holder to transcend conventional numerical comparisons and be treated as an exception. For example, my ability." Ji Mo spoke in the most understated tone, reminiscent of Versailles: "When I first awakened, I could use brute force and physical strength to fight against a level 7 enemy. However, there are advantages and disadvantages. I have a naturally low affinity for all elements, and even some lower-level enhancement abilities cannot affect me."

"We've gotten a bit off-topic. I brought you here to test your potential."

He raised his hand and gently tapped the smooth mirror surface with his knuckles, his expression becoming serious: "Next, this mirror will display information that can only be seen by people of different levels. You must tell me what information you see."

"Vision test?"

"You can interpret it that way."

"You'd better figure out the limits of your current ability to detect things. Otherwise, if you insist on looking at things you shouldn't see, even just for a glance, the torrent of information contained within will be enough to overwhelm your consciousness and burn out your brain."

"Now, look in the mirror."

Chen Zhuzhu stared intently at it.

[Mirror: This is an ordinary mirror.]

"Okay, I've leveled up. Let's see how it goes."

She looked intently at the mirror again and found that the information had indeed changed.

[A mirror that's a little embarrassed by being stared at: You can easily see through its true nature; it's just an ordinary mirror.]

She read the message again, thinking to herself that she wouldn't feel embarrassed with a regular mirror.

Ji Mo was not surprised by the result. He covered the mirror with his palm and continued to adjust the energy upwards.

[A somewhat speechless mirror: I've already said I'm just an ordinary mirror.]

Continue to raise.

[The Mirror Who Wants to Share a Secret: You know perfectly well that I'm just an ordinary mirror, but you're still determined to know something. Okay, then I'll share some other information with you. The person controlling me is actually not very good at dealing with people who act superior because of their age. In this situation, they usually turn to their childhood sweetheart, because she can curse so filthily without any qualms.]

Chen Zhuzhu hesitated for a moment, but still repeated the content.

Ji Mo: "...Continue."

[A difficult mirror for you: Today's mouth is four, but it's too delicious to drink, it's crazy.]

Chen Zhuzhu was stunned for a moment when she saw censored words in the information provided by her ability for the first time.

But combining the visible words with familiar internet memes, she guessed, "Today is Crazy Thursday, but I can't eat Crazy KFC?"

As Ji Mo took notes, he said, "The information at the sixth level starts to become unclear?"

Instead of increasing the level further, he pressed a button on a spot on the wall.

A hidden compartment popped open quietly, revealing several incense sticks and a small incense burner.

He lit an incense stick and placed it in the burner. Wisps of smoke quickly spread, and a delicate and tranquil fragrance filled his nostrils. The fatigue that Chen Zhuzhu had accumulated from the long journey and intense concentration vanished instantly.

"Even though only those at the ninth rank are now called gods, the old system of titles wasn't arbitrary. Starting from the seventh rank, many things involved become the foundation for building a god's throne, and the impact increases exponentially. Just in case, let's light some incense first."

"What will you see this time?"

Chen Zhuzhu's eyesight was perfectly good, but when she looked at the mirror again, she found that even the virtual screen so close to her had become blurry. A thick fog, seemingly appearing out of nowhere, quickly spread out, enveloping the surroundings and severely interfering with her vision.

All she needed to do was make sure she could see the words on the screen. Chen Zhuzhu gritted her teeth, knowing that this was a test of her limits, a chance to push herself to the limit.

She involuntarily took a step forward, widening her eyes as if she were a person with severe myopia trying desperately to see a distant target without her glasses, leaning forward and focusing almost all her attention into her eyes.

Just a little bit more... just a little bit more!

Chen Zhuzhu was completely unaware of the changes in her body. Two lines of bloody tears appeared on her originally fair face, and her pupils began to dilate at some point.

She saw it.

[Magic Mirror: If I were named after my creator, I should be called Divine Mirror o(´^｀)o.]

The moment that crucial information flashed into her mind, everything went black before Chen Zhuzhu's eyes.

She didn't know how much time had passed before she slowly woke up, finding herself lying on a soft bed that had appeared out of nowhere. Ji Mo was looking at her with concern: "Are you feeling better?"

"What... happened to me just now?"

"You suddenly couldn't hear my voice, and insisted on getting close to the mirror in order to see the truth..." Ji Mo's tone was solemn. "You're bleeding from all seven orifices and have fainted."

Chen Zhuzhu raised her hand in alarm to touch her cheek, but did not notice anything unusual or bloodstains.

"Don't worry, this is just a test, not to burn your brain. We have comprehensive emergency medical measures in place," Ji Mo comforted gently. "This is one of Sanchuan's advantages; we have multiple ninth-level treatment methods. Here, dying is a very difficult thing. Otherwise, given the difficulty of our missions and our personnel configuration, we would have been wiped out countless times already."
