What's the crash? I'm playing the game normally.

Chapter 827 A PUBG-style Guardian Assessment? Assessments are my specialty!

Bai Wan curiously walked to the mirror and looked at herself. She found that her current appearance was not much different from before, except that she was more ordinary. Her height was also about the same.

However, the room contained many strange items that he didn't know what they were, indicating that this was clearly another country.

Suddenly, a girl's voice came from outside the door: "Brother, stop sleeping in! Come out and eat! Today is the day for the selection of Princess Viya's bodyguards, so don't be late."

Bai Wan was taken aback for a moment after hearing this. He hadn't expected that he would have a younger sister, so he replied, "She's here."

Bai Wan opened the door, and a short-haired girl came into his view. The girl was dressed quite plainly, in a simple white shirt and white shorts, without any special makeup.

The girl was rather slender with fair skin and a delicate build. Even in ordinary clothes, she stood out. She was probably the type of girl who could pull off even the most basic outfits.

"Brother, come and eat! I've already prepared the food... Oh, you're still wearing your pajamas! Go change them quickly, you have to go for the assessment after you finish eating." The short-haired girl looked at Bai Wan helplessly and pointed to the food on the table.

Two dishes and a soup—not a lavish meal, but not shabby either.

As Bai Wan looked at the girl in front of him, memories of her began to surface in his mind.

The NPC body he created is named... Nani, and his sister is named Nana. Both of them are ghost hunters from the Kingdom of Gran. His sister is already a regular guard for Princess Viya, and now it's his turn to be tested as her brother.

However, Bai Wan could see that his sister looked at him with some worry in her eyes, as if she doubted whether he could successfully become a guard.

This is inevitable, since according to Bai Wan's memory, the NPC created for him by the system is a useless older brother who performs the worst in the strange game and has to rely on the ghost coins earned by his sister to make a living.

Bai Wan glanced again at the two framed pictures displayed in the hall. One was a portrait of her parents, and the other looked like an angel, incredibly sacred.

Nani and Nana's parents both passed away, leaving only Nani and his sister in the family. Nani's sister takes care of their daily life and also cooks for her brother.

"Such a reliable younger sister?" Bai Wan was quite surprised when she saw the setting.

Goodness, she's a completely different person from her own younger sister, Bai Xi. She's the kind of sister that everyone admires.

“Brother, I know that the supernatural abilities bestowed upon us by the Holy Lord are very powerful, but you still lack a little courage. You must pass the guard assessment this time, otherwise, with my income alone, it will be difficult to pay the supernatural tax.” A hint of helplessness appeared in the younger sister’s eyes.

She was struggling to support the family's bizarre tax collection on her own. If her brother could become Princess Viya's bodyguard, he would receive a substantial subsidy.

"A bizarre tax?"

Bai Wan paused for a moment after hearing the name. What was this?
Then, as I reviewed my memories again, I became increasingly surprised.

He was somewhat shocked to discover that the demon hunters of the Kingdom of Gran could actually control the supernatural, and powerful, experienced demon hunters were even directly endowed with divine power…

How can this be?

As Bai Wan's memories were being gradually absorbed, she was still completely unaware of the reason, so she couldn't help but ask her younger sister, "How do we ward off ghosts?"

Nana, the younger sister, also looked puzzled and said, "Brother, don't you even know this? I've told you to study hard all the time. All the strange abilities of the ghost tamers in our country are bestowed by the Holy Lord."

The younger sister pointed to the angel portrait in the hall.

Bai Wan looked over seriously. It was a humanoid creature, and it was impossible to tell whether it was male or female. The creature had its hands clasped together, and its gaze seemed to be filled with compassion.

A word automatically popped into his mind: Holy Lord.

When the strange occurrences first appeared in the Kingdom of Gran, the entire nation was gripped by panic, with countless ghost hunters sacrificing themselves every day. At this critical juncture, something akin to a deity descended upon the people's minds; He was named the Holy Lord. The Holy Lord granted the ghost hunters the power to control the supernatural, and from then on, the casualty rate in Gran's dungeons greatly decreased, while the hunters grew increasingly stronger.

This power is not given away for nothing.

The eerie nature of the Ghost Master's body will gradually revive over time with use. A large amount of Ghost Coins or corresponding precious items must be given to the Holy Lord to delay the revival of the eerie nature. This is known as the Ghost Tax in the Kingdom of Gran, and is also called the God Tax.

"I never expected that the Kingdom of Gran would have a system that is different from that of the Kingdom of Dragon, or rather, from that of the rest of the world... No wonder the Kingdom of Gran is so strong."

Bai Wan felt a sense of novelty; the creature called the Holy Lord could actually be controlled by humans.

This way, the risks can be reduced in the eerie dungeons.

However, there are pros and cons to doing this...

The Ghost Masters hand over a large portion, or even all, of their earnings from the Mysterious Dungeons as a Mysterious Tax to the Holy Lord. Some weaker Ghost Masters don't even earn that many Ghost Coins, and all that awaits them is the resurrection of the Mysterious Dungeons, which leads to their death.

Nani in this body is just like that. After participating in the weird game, she was too weak and timid to get good rewards, so her weird tax was borne by her obedient younger sister.

"I understand. Don't worry, I will become Princess Viya's personal guard." Bai Wan couldn't help but feel a little emotional. His younger sister hadn't had it easy all these years. He was a useless person, and this girl had helped him get by.

"Brother, you don't need to become a royal guard. Ordinary guards can also receive a certain amount of ghost coins. Also... show some respect to Princess Viya. The princess was generous and didn't hold a grudge about what happened in the past. There really can't be a next time." The younger sister began to earnestly persuade her.

What happened in the past?
Bai Wan was stunned for a moment before she remembered.

Good grief, my background character is not only a good-for-nothing, but also a... lecherous good-for-nothing?

During the princess's public speeches, he boldly pursued her and confessed his love to her. He would always shout loudly about liking the princess in front of her palace, intentionally or unintentionally. Even after being beaten by the guards, he still couldn't change his lecherous ways.

It was only because the princess was kind and his sister was a princess guard that he wasn't beaten to death, but he still didn't change his lecherous ways. He only went to the assessment because of Princess Viya.

Otherwise, given his status as a useless older brother, he wouldn't want to participate in any selection process at all.

Bai Wan was both amused and exasperated upon hearing this. It turned out that while he was taking the guard assessment, he was still thinking about Se Se...

Why am I portrayed as this?

It seems that passing the test will be quite difficult... After all, I have already left Princess Viya with a very bad impression of being a lecherous man.

"Alright, brother, I'll tell you while we eat. The guard assessment takes place in a magical scene in our Grand Kingdom. The assessment is conducted by randomly dropping resources on a large map."

"Brother, you've played PUBG, right? Everyone who participates in the guard assessment is placed in that world. They accumulate power by trading with NPCs, completing death mini-games, and collecting supply boxes. In the end, everyone fights each other."

"It embodies the essence of decades of scientific research in our country, and the scenes created with great human and material resources are extremely difficult to build, so we must be careful."

"Princess Viya, the researchers who created the game, and even my bodyguards will be there to watch the test. If you're in any danger, just yell 'Exit!'" Nana, the younger sister, reminded him worriedly.

Bai Wan's eyes lit up when he heard about the test.

"Don't worry, little sister, actually... I'm quite good at testing."
