A Game for Everyone: God-Level Talent is Achieved Through Rolling In.

Nie Wan crushed He Chang's mind map into powder and dumped it into the trash can while saying to He Chang, "It seems that your thinking in real life is much clearer than in the game."

"Does the topic have to change so quickly? Even if you don't want to tell me what you're really thinking, you could at least give me a perfunctory answer."

He Chang was quite helpless about Nie Wan's lack of pretense in front of him.

"We're already in this relationship, so what's the point of pretending?"

"Won't Yuan Yuan be angry if she knows you're saying things like this to me?"

He Chang crossed his arms: "Do you act like you're so close to everyone that you don't need to pretend?"

Nie Wan didn't bother with that nonsense and simply asked, "Can you sense what's suppressing you in the game?"

"What is it?" He Chang asked, puzzled.

"Is it an NPC, a system, a skill, a law, or some kind of curse? If you pay close attention, you should be able to find the source of the power that is suppressing you in the game, making your thoughts and memories unclear. I suggest you go back to the game, sit quietly for a while, and try to feel it carefully."

He Chang listened attentively, nodded, and prepared to get up.

"Don't go," Nie Wan called out to her. "I haven't finished speaking yet."

"Anything else to say?" He Chang asked, surprised.

She's already said everything she needed to say. As for the rest of the matters in the Hiro district, you might as well go back to the game and ask Professor Yu.

Nie Wan pinched the bridge of her nose and sighed, "I have a curse on me, and I don't know how to remove it. Do you remember any methods related to it?"

"A way to remove the curse?" He Chang became interested, pulled out a chair and sat down again. "What curse have you been cursed?"

"If I knew what kind of curse it was, I wouldn't have asked you."

Nie Wan put down her fingers that were pinching the bridge of her nose, crossed her hands, and pondered and summarized.

"I suspect this curse came upon me after I escaped a trial in a tomb."

Nie Wan briefly recounted how, while searching for the Immortal Pillow in General Ming Huan's tomb, she faced the final test, shattered the illusion with her sword, and forcibly escaped.

After much thought, she concluded that if there was a curse, it originated from this time.

Before this, her failure rate in practicing silversmithing skills was not unacceptably high.

However, after the tomb of General Ming Huan, the production of silver flowers repeatedly failed.

Nie Wan believed at the time that she was affected by the illusion and that her mind was unsettled, which led to her repeated failures.

Later, many things took her a long time to calm down and practice her silversmithing skills again.

So, upon closer reflection, perhaps from the very beginning, the high failure rate wasn't a matter of her talent, but rather that she was tainted by some kind of curse when she escaped from the Illusionary Realm of the Immortal Pillow.

This is absolutely possible.

Burial grounds, deities, and forbidden areas are often haunted by all sorts of curses.

He Chang listened silently to Nie Wan's retelling, frowning as he pondered deeply.

After a moment, she said, "I don't know much about the situation in the China region, but if you want to break the curse, there is indeed a special place in the Hiro region."

"Where?"

“The Temple of Victory,” He Chang said. “It’s the small shrine next to the Parthenon, dedicated to the goddess of victory, Nike. Behind the shrine is an olive grove with a fountain. The priestess will dip olive branches that are exposed to the first rays of morning sunlight into the fountain water and gently pat the players to remove all negative statuses, including curses.”

"What's the minimum favorability requirement to get the priestess's help?"

“80.” He Chang said with a smile, “But don’t worry, you’ve already changed jobs to inherit the Goddess of Memory, right? The priestess will have a basic level of favorability towards you. Just do a few more simple daily tasks, and you’ll definitely get that favorability in no time.”

Nie Wan nodded gently: "I understand, you can go back now."

"Aren't you going to take me back to my room?" He Chang stood up and pushed the chair onto the table with his foot.

Nie Wan ignored her: "Don't waste time, hurry back."

"It's so heartbreaking. I've known you for much longer than Yuan Yuan, but the newcomer has surpassed me. Alas, if I had known it would cause such heartache, I would have preferred never to have met you in the first place."

He Chang twirled her long, wavy hair that reached her waist, and just as Nie Wan was about to roll her eyes at her, she smiled, waved her hand, and slipped out the door.

Nie Wan lay down on the bed, stared at the ceiling for a moment, pondered, then closed her eyes and entered the game.

The entity within the Huaxia region sent a message to Mo Nan.

The three artifacts I request are "The Night Banquet of Han Xizai," "A Panorama of Rivers and Mountains," and the Yin Ruins Crystal Disc. They don't need to be handed over to me immediately; they should remain in the laboratory. I will arrange a time later for Nie Wan to examine them.

Mo Nan didn't reply for a long time.

Nie Wan didn't force him to return. She teleported away with Lan Xiangyuan, who was honing her skills by killing monsters in the distance, and dealt with the remaining sand bandit leaders.

After killing the last bandit leader, the two prepared to return to complete their mission and hand in their military ranks.

But just as Lan Xiangyuan was opening the corpse gem, the surrounding space rippled, and someone used a teleportation skill to teleport over.

Lan Xiangyuan immediately grabbed the dagger and assumed a defensive posture.

Nie Wan said, "Don't worry, it's Xun Ying."

As soon as he finished speaking, a figure appeared in the center of the spatial ripples; it was indeed Xun Ying.

Lan Xiangyuan let out a soft "wow" and looked at Nie Wan.

Did you make plans with her beforehand?

【No. 】

Why did she come looking for me?

Once Xun Ying regained his footing, his gaze immediately fell on Nie Wan, clearly directed at her.

Lan Xiangyuan even suspected that she teleported over at this time because she knew what they were doing and deliberately waited until they had finished killing the monsters to avoid being accused of trying to steal their monsters.

Such meticulous planning and circuitous detours are definitely "malicious."

Sure enough, after Xun Ying appeared in the distance, he flashed in front of Nie Wan in an instant, his heroic and sharp eyebrows and eyes carrying a hint of complexity.

"Chief Mo asked me to inform you that the three cultural relics you requested are on their way to the base."

Nie Wan nodded gently.

Xun Ying then asked, "Excuse my intrusion, but are you two conducting a military rank assessment?"

“That’s right.” Nie Wan nodded.

Xun Ying asked, "Which rank do you plan to raise your military rank to?"

"Why do you need to know this?"

“I’m also aiming for a higher military rank,” Xun Ying answered without hesitation, “so I wanted to know how you guys are doing.”

"Then you go first."

Nie Wan knew Xun Ying's temperament; he was always straightforward and would rather not answer than lie.

As expected, Xun Ying replied without hesitation: "I am currently a squad leader."

Lan Xiangyuan turned around in disbelief and looked Xun Ying up and down.

A centurion?

Even though Nie Wan carried her away, she was only a tenth-rank officer.

Has this guy been immersing himself in the rebel army, killing day and night until dawn? How did his rank rise so quickly?
