"Hahaha, that depends on how heavy the pig is, right? Triggering the anti-magic stone twice in such a short time, besides being reckless, he doesn't even have the ability to control whether to tell the truth or a lie. His deception skills are probably terrible. If he can get away with this, then how blind must the adventurer team that recruited him be?"
"Hehe, but don't you guys find it interesting? Can you imagine those people actually treating that guy like a really capable person and calling him captain? I certainly can't."
Moore didn't hear what the others were saying, and he wasn't in the mood to listen anyway.
He only heard about market fluctuations.
Because he was well aware of Jiang Shu's talent and abilities, he didn't think things would just happen by chance.
The task of the Blue Robe assessment is to organize an adventurer team to kill a fourth-tier magical beast, and the materials that are lacking in the market are precisely fourth-tier magical beasts.
Isn't this a bit too much of a coincidence?
He couldn't help but connect this matter with Jiang Shu.
He felt a vague sense of anticipation.
Although he didn't have high hopes, he did hope that this was Jiang Shu's doing, which would prove that his judgment was correct.
Moreover, even if this has nothing to do with Jiang Shu, is it possible that Jiang Shu could actually take advantage of this opportunity to succeed?
As he was so engrossed in his thoughts that he didn't even hear the black-robed figures calling to him.
suddenly.
hum!
The anti-magic stone was suddenly triggered again.
Then came a familiar voice.
"Sure enough."
Chapter 111 Mission Objective Three, and a Hint as a Reward
To test the anti-magic stone's criteria for judging lies, Jiang Shu first induced Strawberry Milkshake to say something she herself didn't believe, but which was actually the truth—
"Alright, alright, none of those adventurers are as good as you. If you were to take action, any one of them would be no match for you. You're the best."
I just thought the strawberry milkshake was a way to appease a child and didn't pay much attention to it.
I really don't know why you're so serious and capable in a place like this. You didn't help when they were besieging the monsters... she thought to herself.
She didn't take these seemingly perfunctory or joking remarks as lies, because she herself didn't believe them.
The anti-magic stone did not react at all.
Afterwards, Jiang Shu induced the strawberry milkshake to say something she believed to be true, but which was actually a lie—
"Huh? I have to tell you the truth, but the word 'kindness' has nothing to do with you... I'm sorry, I could have gone along with what you said earlier, but I really can't agree with this. If I lied to you, I would be harming you."
Then she was locked by the anti-magic stone.
The strawberry milkshake was stunned.
She was all too familiar with this scene; the only difference was that last time she was an observer, but now she was a participant.
"What's going on? I really don't think you're a good person, and I never intended to lie to you!"
The strawberry milkshake was a little anxious.
But Jiang Shu remained calm: "It's okay, just tell me again, I'm actually a kind and good person."
"...?"
Although it was hard to accept, Strawberry Milkshake, with a reluctant but determined attitude, repeated the sentence: "You are actually a really kind and good person..."
The Demon-Suppressing Stone has returned to silence.
"Just as I thought," Jiang Shu said, walking into the temple.
"As expected...?" Strawberry Milkshake looked at the anti-magic stone in disbelief. "So it really is spoiled?"
She's starting to have doubts about life.
What kind of kindness is this?
At the same time, the temple poets in the hall were also attracted by the commotion at the magic-suppressing stone at the main entrance and all looked at Jiang Shu.
When they saw who had triggered the anti-magic stone, they were immediately relieved, as they had been wondering why so many extraordinary people had appeared these past two days.
Immediately, someone questioned:
"It's you again? You triggered the anti-magic stone twice just the day before yesterday, and you're here again today. What exactly do you want?"
"You don't really think triggering the magic-suppressing stone's lock can be done without any consequences, do you? Unregistered 'Lying Poets' are already unprotected; dying out there is their own fault. Do you really want to be punished by the temple on top of that?"
"Is it that serious?" Jiang Shu asked in surprise. "I thought everyone wanted to join the temple because they could get a salary. Turns out it's just a way to legally scam people. The treatment is really bad."
"Stop talking nonsense." The man was annoyed by the retort: "Don't worry about whether the treatment is good or bad. Countless 'lying poets' outside would love to have this kind of treatment but don't even get a chance."
Before Jiang Shu could speak, another person said sarcastically, "Don't talk to him about these things. It has nothing to do with him. I guess he knows he can't pass the Blue Robe's test, so he's given up on himself and wants to express his dissatisfaction with the temple in this way."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Shu shook his head: "That's wrong. Only the weak complain."
As he spoke, he took out the evaluation report issued by the Adventurers' Guild and waved it in front of everyone.
"Actually, I not only passed the test, but I am now ready to become a top-level adventurer at any time."
The internship team leader is conscientious, dedicated, obedient to overall arrangements, and has a good image. He is diligent and enterprising in his work, helpful, caring for his team members, gets along well with them, is good at cooperation, and plays a leading role.
During the monster hunting, he was always proactive and diligent in learning combat knowledge. In a very short time, he mastered the key points and techniques of hunting and applied them reasonably in practice. He also took the initiative to learn from veteran adventurers to make up for his shortcomings.
This intern team leader is meticulous and responsible in her work. She not only has strong execution skills but also excellent teamwork abilities. She has a positive work attitude, proactively assists other team members, and consistently completes tasks assigned by the guild on time.
[Recommended rating: Diamond-level Adventurer.]
"Diamond... diamond grade? Are you kidding me?"
The men in black robes were immediately dumbfounded.
Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, and Diamond represent all the adventurer levels, with Diamond being the highest level, corresponding to the fourth-tier Liar Poet and the fourth-tier Monster.
They had absolutely no doubt about the report's authenticity.
This is an evaluation report stamped and issued by the Adventurers' Guild, so it cannot be faked. Moreover, this is inside the temple. If Jiang Shu were to produce a fake report and falsely claim that he had completed the assessment, the Anti-Magic Stone would not agree to it.
In addition, there are comments from teammates.
Not only did they receive unanimous praise, but they were all registered under their real names, and even their adventurer IDs were clearly written on them, all of them being the highest-level diamond-ranked adventurers.
Each review was signed with a fingerprint, proving that they would be responsible for the authenticity of the review.
Upon seeing this, the men in black robes were incredulous.
"In previous Blue Robe assessments, didn't they just bring back a receipt proving their participation? How come there are evaluation reports and team member comments... I've never heard of this before!"
Although I was shocked, I was also very curious about how Jiang Shu did it.
But they have no time to think about this issue right now.
Because they were now completely enveloped in fear.
Next in line for the black robes will be the blue robes; sooner or later, they too will have to undergo similar assessments.
If those in power use this as a model and modify the assessment standards accordingly to increase the prestige of the Blue Robe Poet, causing all future Blue Robe assessments to have to achieve the same effect... this is quite possible, since temple poets who have already passed the assessment don't need to go through it again.
However, assembling a team that includes Diamond-level adventurers is already incredibly difficult, let alone becoming their leader and gaining their unanimous approval. It's simply...
They dared not think any further and looked at Jiang Shu with anger but dared not speak out.
You damned liar!
Why are you curling your hair like that?!
Jiang Shu smiled slightly.
As a major sponsor, it's not difficult to get a diamond-level adventurer to do a favor and give a fairly objective, general, and universally applicable positive review.
With the unanimous praise from the diamond-level adventurer, the Adventurers' Guild naturally wouldn't delve into anything further. They were more than happy to have another diamond-level adventurer with such appeal as the face of the guild, so they naturally granted the qualification without hesitation.
But if you want to know exactly what role Jiang Shu played, then don't ask.
"No, that's not right..."
Someone suddenly remembered something.
"You just triggered the anti-magic stone again. You need to pass the purple robe test!"
They are now determined to prevent Jiang Shu from passing the assessment, not just to see him make a fool of himself, but for their own future.
But this was within Jiang Shu's expectations: "That was triggered by my companion, what does it have to do with me?"
What was that dead fish eye thing they said again?
Oh, my companion and I came together, so we're considered a unit. I triggered the anti-magic stone twice, so she also has to complete the test of the same difficulty as me. The difficulty level is the highest among us.
So, according to the rules, my companion only triggered the anti-magic stone once. The difficulty of the assessment will remain the same as the blue-robed one; it won't change. I'm very law-abiding and won't do anything reckless.
Now the group was truly at a loss.
They could only point helplessly at Strawberry Milkshake, who seemed lost in thought for a long time: "Then why did she trigger the anti-magic stone?"
"I'm happy to, hey, it's just for fun." Jiang Shu shrugged. "She can even trigger it once more, and the difficulty won't change. Do you guys have any objections?"
"No...no..."
Since Jiang Shu's argument is reasonable and well-founded, what objections could they possibly have?
Could it be that I could use some dirty tricks in front of the anti-magic stone and commit a level-five lie?
All they can do now is pray that once Jiang Shu's assessment results are made public, the temple poets above won't raise the assessment standards as they feared.
Looking at the anti-magic stone, a feeling of betrayal welled up in their hearts.
Aren't you our best partner in this kind of lying bullying? Why can you remain indifferent when you see us being bullied by lies?
The magic-forbidden stone... Say something!
"Alright, Moore, let's go, lead the way."
After putting on a show in front of these men in black robes, Jiang Shu didn't want to waste any more time.
He needs to complete the registration quickly to unlock mission objective three.
He hadn't forgotten the name of the temple poet he'd seen in the registration hall before—a poet nicknamed "Radish and Cabbage" who had just passed the exam.
He wanted to confirm as soon as possible whether the other person was indeed an evolved being.
If that person is indeed not a local and had already registered two days ago, then regardless of what the third objective is, it means that you are not the fastest person, and there are others ahead of you.
Jiang Shu couldn't quite accept this.
It wasn't until Jiang Shu called Moore's name that the latter finally reacted.
Since Jiang Shu appeared, he hadn't had a chance to speak. When Jiang Shu produced a report that proved he had passed the assessment, he was so surprised that he couldn't speak and remained in a daze.
"Okay, let's go now."
Moore immediately got up, intending to take Jiang Shu to the registration hall.
"Take me to find that dead-eyed guy from last time!" Jiang Shu added, remembering something.
"okay."
Strawberry Milkshake was still pondering why Jiang Shu was a good person, trying to find corresponding examples to convince herself, when Jiang Shu pulled her back to reality.
"Huh? Oh, it's all done?"
Watching the three leave, the black-robed poets exchanged bewildered glances.
"Do you think... I've lived my life on thin ice, will I ever reach the other side?"
"I feel...why don't we take advantage of these few days to complete the Blue Robe assessment?"
"That's good. If he can do it, then there's no reason why we can't."
“That makes sense. As long as we complete the assessment, it doesn’t matter to us whether they reform or not.”
At this point, the group suddenly became more motivated.
Until one of them, the one in black robes who first mentioned the market changes, said with a bitter expression.
"To be honest, it's difficult... Actually, I took the assessment a while ago, which is why I've been paying attention to the Adventurers' Guild and was able to notice the recent changes outside as soon as possible."
I went to the Adventurers' Guild this morning, but all the high-level adventurers had banded together to efficiently obtain monster materials, refusing to let anyone unfamiliar with them or who might be a hindrance join, let alone me being the team leader.
So I'm really curious, how did he manage that? Even the healer in his team is a diamond-level adventurer, it just doesn't make sense."
