Chapter 281 It's My Fault for Being Too Honest
The result of this trial will undoubtedly be the lowest possible evaluation.
Chen You was still a little curious, so he opened his backpack.
It would have been better if I hadn't looked; looking at it made me even angrier.

[Summary: If you can't win, run. Running fast is the key. Remember, as long as you're alive, you can always make a comeback.]
"..."
Chen You stared expressionlessly at the stone that emitted a faint blue light, feeling his blood pressure slowly but steadily rising.
rare?
That's it?
Applying oil to the soles of the feet?
Who is this description implying?
Just as he was about to crush the broken stone on the spot, a loud system announcement rang out again.
[World Announcement (Thousand Light City Region): The wrath of the ancestors has been quelled! The people and soldiers of Thousand Light City, united as one, have successfully repelled the invasion of the undead army!]
[World Announcement (Thousand Light City Region): Adventurer "Chen You" turned the tide of this battle and made outstanding contributions. His heroic deeds will be recorded in the annals of Thousand Light City!]
[World Announcement (Qianguang City Area): ...]
A series of announcements flooded social media, pushing Chen You's prestige to a new peak.
Beneath the city walls, the surviving players erupted in deafening cheers, and countless fervent, adoring gazes focused on the lone figure atop the walls.
"You Shen is awesome!!"
"I knew it! With the God of War around, any natural disaster is just a free experience boost!"
"Waaaaah, You Shen, my savior! I've finally reached level 30!"
City Lord Meng De, along with Meng Xiao and Cai Wenjuan, quickly walked to Chen You's side, their faces showing relief at surviving the ordeal and heartfelt gratitude.
"Brother Chen! I can't thank you enough! If it weren't for you..."
However, before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a cold look from Chen You.
At this moment, Chen You's face was so gloomy it could drip water.
Without even glancing at Mengde, he summoned his enormous rabbit mount with a thought.
"Pfft!"
As the giant rabbit appeared, Chen You flipped onto it with fluid, effortless movements.
"Where are you going? To a victory celebration banquet..." Meng De asked hurriedly.
Chen You ignored him completely, only coldly uttering four words.
"Go to the Supreme Tower."
Upon receiving the command, the giant rabbit leaped off its hind legs and jumped down from the city wall, which was several meters high, landing heavily on the ground.
Then it transformed into a white lightning bolt and sped off towards the center of Thousand Light City.
Meng De was left with a bewildered expression, and a group of players looking at each other, completely confused.
"...What...what happened?"
"Why does the wandering spirit look...unhappy?"
"It just went viral globally, why is there this expression? Like they swallowed a fly..."
In the crowd, a self-proclaimed all-knowing analyst pushed up his non-existent glasses and, in a tone of profound wisdom that suggested he was the only one who truly understood everything, said in a deep voice:
"What do you know? This is a real boss!"
He looked around, enjoying the curious gazes of the crowd, and continued, "For us, successfully defending the city is victory."
"But for someone of You Shen's caliber, that's far from enough! He must be reviewing the entire battle, feeling dissatisfied that he didn't perform perfectly!"
"That's right!" Someone nearby immediately realized and excitedly echoed.
"Look, so many people died in Ximen. Although it was our own doing, You Shen has definitely taken the blame upon himself! He's blaming himself!"
"My God! Is this the self-motivation of the strong? Never satisfied with their performance, always striving for perfection!"
"I understand now. The difference between me and the Wandering God isn't just about level and equipment, but also about our level of understanding!"
"Waaaaah, Yushin, he really... I'm going to cry my eyes out!"
For a time, all the players in the entire West Gate Square were caught up in a fanatical worship of "self-guided strategy".
As they watched Chen You's departing figure, the admiration in their eyes deepened even further.
Meanwhile, Chen You, whom everyone imagined as a "saint," was furiously speeding through the streets.
He had only one thought.
Hill!
If you don't give me an explanation today, I'm not done with you!
……
Supreme Tower.
It remains as magnificent, luxurious, and elegant as ever.
But this time, Chen You had no interest in appreciating it at all.
He practically kicked open the door made of South China Sea sandalwood, rushing inside with a menacing aura.
Hill was still wearing that elegant white dress, her long hair gently swaying in the breeze, and her face adorned with her ever-present, poetic smile.
"Welcome, esteemed VIP member." Her voice was ethereal and gentle. "The stars seem exceptionally bright tonight, surely shining because of your achievements."
Chen You walked step by step to her and stopped.
"It's daytime now."
Hill's smile remained unchanged, as if he were oblivious to the suppressed anger emanating from him.
"When night falls, the stars will shine because of you." She tilted her head slightly, her posture elegant.
"How may I help you?"
Chen You appeared calm, but beneath that calm lay a volcano about to erupt.
Hill.
"The Trial of Destiny, wasn't it you who orchestrated this?"
Hill blinked her eyes, which seemed to hold the stars and the sea, and a perfectly appropriate look of confusion appeared on her face.
"I'm sorry, VIP member, Hill doesn't quite understand what you mean."
"The Trial of Destiny is a supreme challenge driven by the world's underlying rules. Its content is completely random and is designed to test the challenger's destiny and fortune."
"Stop pretending." Chen You smirked, a cold smile playing on his lips.
"That dealer looks exactly like you, even the smile on his face looks like it was copied and pasted from you."
"Oh? Is that so?" Upon hearing this, Hill was not flustered at all, but instead showed some curiosity and joy.
She lifted the hem of her skirt and twirled gracefully, her white dress blooming like a lotus flower.
"It seems that Hill's image data has been fortunate enough to be selected by the Destiny System as one of the trial templates. This is truly my honor."
Her tone was so sincere, it was as if she were thanking the company for its annual recognition.
Chen You hardened his fist.
The friction of the finger bones produced a slight popping sound.
Hill seemed to finally realize Chen You's anger, and gracefully curtsied to him.
"It seems to be Hill's oversight in not informing you of the corresponding benefits of VIP membership in a timely manner."
With a gentle wave of her hand, the magnificent golden palace surrounding her blurred instantly, transforming into a deep starry sky.
"The content of the Trial of Destiny is completely random for ordinary adventurers; it is a test of luck."
Hill's voice echoed through the starry sky, carrying a strange allure.
"However, for you, esteemed VIP member..."
She paused, her commercial smile becoming even more pronounced.
"You have the privilege of 'choice'."
