Picking Up Supreme Treasures in the Dream Realm-Chapter 593 - 373, Star Map_3

"Besides that, one must possess a certain degree of analytical ability to make the most correct judgment."

His wife agreed wholeheartedly, "Very well analyzed."

Wen Zehan continued with the second test, "The next test is about human nature, for only by giving up the chance to escape can one pass."

His wife frowned, "The instinct to survive is innate in humans. Isn’t this test a bit too harsh?"

Wen Zehan didn’t think so, "That’s true, but it doesn’t apply to this situation.

"Mr. Spirit Crows wants to choose someone who will gain supernatural power, and that person must then bear the corresponding responsibility.

"Imagine if someone, with the help of Mr. Spirit Crows, acquired miraculous powers.

"And when the country is in peril, this person only cares about escaping and won’t step up to confront the crisis.

"Mr. Spirit Crows doesn’t need such people, nor does Great Xia.

"If one doesn’t even have this bit of awareness, they should just stay a regular person."

His wife was convinced, "Alright, you’re right."

She paused and mumbled, "Actually, I’d rather you be a normal person."

Wen Zehan pretended not to hear his wife’s words.

Once some things have started, there’s no turning back, and he didn’t want to turn back.

Though the years had worn away many of this middle-aged man’s edges, a youthful spirit persisted deep in his heart.

To serve the country, he would do so without complaint or regret!

His wife sighed and asked again, "What about the third test?"

Wen Zehan replied, "The third test challenges the candidate’s insight, and it’s the toughest one.

"Hundreds of space-time rifts have appeared in Jindu City, the sky is obscured by a dust storm, and tens of thousands of primordial monsters have appeared in the city.

"Faced with such an almost hopeless situation, the candidate must find a way as quickly as possible to save tens of millions of people.

"Only with extremely keen insight can one find the key within the complex information—that is, capture the ringleader first to catch the bandits."

Wen Zehan took a breath and continued, "Defeat the most formidable Knight Level monster, the others will be frightened and will consider Jindu City to be a very dangerous place, and naturally, they will leave.

"But to accomplish this task, one must also be determined to sacrifice oneself, as the abilities acquired in the dream realm require continuous overexertion of life force.

"At that time, I contacted the air force, fully prepared for death, doing my utmost to guide the military, and ultimately killed the knight monster."

Although his wife had experienced the dream realm herself, listening to it now was still a breathtaking experience.

She couldn’t help but exclaim, "Mr. Spirit Crows is terrifying!"

Her evaluation of Mr. Spirit Crows had upgraded from "insidious" to "terrifying."

Hearing her husband’s analysis, where the three tests challenge wisdom, human nature, and insight, she finally realized the extraordinary intelligence and cunning behind the dream realm’s layout.

It felt somewhat frightening to her.

Wenzhe laughed, "Mr. Spirit Crows told me that out of over three hundred candidates, about half were eliminated in the first test.

"More than sixty percent of the hundred or so who passed fell in the second test as they were all busy escaping. Of the dozens remaining, only your husband found the way to solve the problem."

In the dream realm, he behaved with the resolve to face death, yet now he was like a childish kid showing off in front of his wife.

Wenzhe laughed heartily, "Isn’t your husband impressive?"

His wife was rather speechless but still cajoled him like a child, saying, "Impressive! So impressive!"

Wen Zehan noticed the perfunctory tone but didn’t care, his face almost splitting with his grin.

His wife asked again, "Since you passed, what’s the reward?"

Wen Zehan answered, "Mr. Spirit Crows said he has already given it to me."

Yang Fan had come over specifically to deliver the Relic of the Stars.

His wife pressed, "So where is it? Let me have a look."

Wen Zehan shook his head resolutely, "I don’t know."

His wife didn’t believe him, "Are you deceiving me?"

Wen Zehan sighed, "He certainly gave it to me. A big shot’s methods are beyond what ordinary people can imagine."

His wife nodded, "Seems likely."

Wen Zehan stood up, "Mr. Spirit Crows said it’s a little surprise that requires a certain opportunity to open. I’m going into seclusion to comprehend it."

His wife didn’t stop him, "Then go on."

Five minutes passed.

Wen Zehan’s "seclusion to comprehend" was interrupted.

His wife pushed open the door, speaking a bit mysteriously, "Old Wen, I just discovered that there are many soldiers around our building. Could they have been sent by Mr. Spirit Crows to protect you?"

Wen Zehan wasn’t surprised at all, "Of course they are."

His wife sighed again, "I really don’t understand why Mr. Spirit Crows values you. You’re just a communications satellite expert, can’t fight, can’t kill."

When Wen Zehan heard the word "satellite," it was like a sudden epiphany, "I understand!"

His wife was slightly confused, "Old Wen, what have you understood?"

Wen Zehan seemed to be oblivious, merely sitting dumbfounded at the desk.

His wife quickly noticed the glow in her husband’s pupils, which appeared somewhat eerie.

She glanced at him curiously, suddenly realizing that this was perhaps the "epiphany" he had spoken of earlier.

Knowing how important this was, she didn’t disturb her husband further, instead tiptoeing out.
