Chapter 2917: What About the Benefits?

As an ultra task-taker, Ning Shu’s first thought was about the benefits of her new rank.

“What about the benefits?” she asked 2333, very much looking forward to them.

2333 replied, “After completing the trial task, you can enter the space accessible only to ultra task-takers. That space is like the fabricated space, but only ultra task-takers can enter.”

“You can cultivate your soul there, and it’s said there’s a chance of comprehending the ordinances,” 2333 explained.

Ning Shu was thrilled to hear the space could help her comprehend the ordinances, as she had been struggling to figure out how to start learning them.

2333 quickly poured cold water on her enthusiasm. “Only after completing the trial task can you officially become an ultra task-taker and enter that space to secure a foothold.”

“And even if you enter the space, there are many other ultra task-takers there. You might not get a spot. There are also chaotic, uncontrollable ordinances there. If you enter, there’s a high chance your soul will shatter into fragments.”

Ning Shu: …

“I guess I’ll just take it step by step. I’ve already come this far after all.” Ning Shu felt she could definitely endure it.

“And…” 2333 spoke again.

Ning Shu’s heart skipped a beat. She really didn’t enjoy these chats with 2333.

“You also have to complete three linked trial tasks,” 2333 said.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Three linked trial tasks?

Ning Shu asked, “How many do other people have to do?”

“One.”

Ning Shu almost jumped. Why did she have to do three?

“The main system is targeting cute little me,” she said. She hugged herself, feeling great heartache for herself.

“You failed the advanced trial task, so they accumulated,” 2333 explained.

Ning Shu: …

“Whether you see it or not, that failure will always be there waiting for you.”

Ning Shu: Moans in despair…

“If you fail one of the three linked tasks, next time it will be six linked tasks. If you fail one of the six, next time it will be nine linked tasks.” ʀ

“Three, six, nine, and so on.”

Ning Shu: …

What could she say? This seemed hopeless…

“What if I want to stop the trial tasks halfway?” she asked tentatively.

“Then you won’t be able to enter the space to cultivate your soul and comprehend the ordinances. This is a benefit offered only to ultra task-takers. If you can’t get it, there’s no other way,” 2333 said. “You’ll only be an ordinary, truly ordinary ultra task-taker.”

Ning Shu gave a long exhale. This setup felt really cruel. Even if you became an ultra task-taker, you might not be able to enjoy the benefits.

“Do I really have to do so many tasks?” Ning Shu asked. There wouldn’t even be a break in between the linked tasks.

“Who asked you to fail the advanced task trial? At that time, you didn’t restart so the failure was recorded. Understand?” 2333 said.

Ning Shu: Seriously!? …

“It’s like playing Tetris. Errors accumulate, and successes disappear,” 2333 explained. Failure was always present and would only accumulate.

When these failures build up enough, you will face elimination.

Just when she was feeling happy, the next moment was like a bolt from the blue. It felt like she suffered trauma every single day.

Ning Shu felt she was quite strong since she didn’t cry.

She took a deep breath, knowing regret was useless. At that time, she had indeed given up on continuing the task.

Ning Shu sat on the sofa and saw her stats panel was already empty.
