Chapter 275: Mr. ck and White''s Request


    Today''s Stargazing Room is different from the old days.


    The ck and white design style is more like a vi with a modern style from Han Dong''s first world.


    "The stargazing room can change at will as you wish sir ... Everyone, follow me."


    Han Dong led the team through the ck and white changing corridor and up the spiral staircase to the first floor.


    The master''s seat at the grey marble dining table.


    Mr. ck and White was sitting upright and straight, a friendly smile on his mask.


    Just as everyone was taking their seats.


    Abel pushed down his nerves and handed the exquisite gift box to Mr. ck and White.


    "Sir! This is a meeting gift that Grandfather asked me to bring to you ..."


    Today was the first time that Abel met Mr. ck and White, and the first time that he came to the most mysterious area in the academy - the [Stargazing Room].


    Nervousness and excitement made Abel''s white hair all over his body float slightly, and his hands were intertwined in his lower abdomen, rubbing his nails against each other.


    A brilliant seven-coloured lustre shot out as the gift box was opened.


    "Oh! The Source Quality Crystal ... Head Kemon is too kind."


    "Grandfather he has always been eager to meet with Sir in private."


    "This is a day to talk about your business, not mine ... Sit down."


    The gentleman''s sudden change in tone scared Abel out of a cold sweat, and no longer in any more irrelevant words, he had to retreat to sit beside Han Dong, with his head slightly buried low.


    It was obvious.


    Today''s Mr. ck and White was much stricter than usual as if he had something important to announce.


    "The initial request I gave to Nichs was to choose a fate event of at least four-star difficulty or higher."


    "Four stars!" Wendy immediately covered her mouth, not expecting the difficulty required to be so high.


    "However, I have been considering it for some time recently.


    Since Nichs has chosen you as his teammates, and you yourselves are at the top of this ss of trainee knights.


    I will be asking for you all to go up one more notch."


    "Hm!?"


    Even Han Dong himself was startled, he had thought that Mr. ck and White had summoned his group to give some important reminders or to help the squad draw up abat policy in advance.


    Unexpectedly, there was a further increase in requirements.


    "Abel ... you should have a ''not-so-friendly'' "Destiny Deck" in your hand, right?"


    Abel snapped surprised not expecting Mr. ck and White to even know this, his original humanoid ears, which he couldn''t control for a while, changed into furry triangr beast ears.


    "Yes!"


    Abel then exined, "I don''t intend to use this card ... just pretend that it was never given to me at all."


    "It''s not good to waste such a high-value card like this, introduce the ''Destiny Card'' details to everyone."


    "Yes!"


    "Destiny Card (Sceptre)


    [Effect]: It can make the selected fate event ''deepen and change'',pletely changing and distorting the fate scenario while keeping the basic background and main line unchanged.


    (Branch lines, hidden storylines are drastically altered (may increase or decrease), and the overall difficulty index is increased up to a maximum of five stars (seed stage).


    "An event-enhanced fate deck?!"


    Han Dong had suspected it a long time ago.


    Since a fate card could grant the subject the right to choose, would the right to change it also exist? Wouldn''t making base-level changes to a randomly selected fate event also be a type of, right?


    "Such a card is considered the highest value ''Destiny Card'' for you who have not yet broken the seed.


    You mustplete as many difficult destiny events as possible before you be a full knight, to maximise the benefits and strengthen your foundation!


    This way, you will be able to develop more when you be a full knight, and you will be able to walk a better path in the future.


    You should all understand the reasoning behind this."


    "Understood ..."


    Abel naturally knew very well that the foundation was important.


    To maximise the benefits as much as possible while it was still seed stage.


    But it was also just ''maximizing the benefits'' not maximizing the difficulty ... If one could fully decrypt and explore a three-star difficulty event, the rewards would be higher than the gains gained from a four-star event passed in the normal way.


    Abel also asked his maternal grandfather about this difficulty-boosting fate card.


    The Head Kemon was only neutral, not particrly rmending Abel to use it, but not opposing it either.


    It only required that Abel must achieve [maximum benefit] in every event, so Abel himself had no intention to ... yet it was brought up by Mr. ck and White of his own ord at present.


    Mr. ck and White looked directly at Abel while continuing to say.


    "It''s true that ''maximizing benefits'' is true.


    However, Abel, you have failed to consider a crucial point."


    Being stared at by Mr. ck and White like this, there was a feeling of having his thoughtspletely spied on, scaring Abel into folding his furry beast ears altogether.


    "The Destiny Space grants you not only points, points, equipment ... but also a very important thing-[Crisis].


    The crisis brought to the participants by the high difficulty Destiny Space is not in the least worse than outside the city.


    When a real crisises, how many people can manage to deal with it calmly? How do you escape when the apparent ''way of life'' ispletely blocked?


    Think carefully about what you were thinking and doing when you were being pursued by the ''Old King''."


    That''s right.


    The sudden appearance of the "Old King".


    All the trainee riders in the carriage lost 50-80% of their basic analytical ability.


    Moreover, the entire carriage was not thinking about how to survive at all, but rather cing their hopes on the Knights of Behemoth, hoping that these seniors could protect them by escaping.


    Only a very few were thinking and were making moves that might be useful.


    Mr. ck and White continued.


    "When a crisises, how to choose the most effective response in a moment ... This is the ability you must acquire in advance.


    To go ahead and ''get used to the crisis'' will be one of the most important hidden abilities you will have when you go out of town to investigate in the future.


    Therefore, for those of you who are already standing at the top of your ss, you must pass the most difficult fate events possible to gain the most benefit."


    "Thank you, sir, for the reminder."


    Han Dong felt that this conversation was quite rewarding and that such a ''Destiny Card'' was interesting.


    "That''s all I have to say, whether you are willing to do so is still up to you personally."


    Simrly, Abel''s eyes became steely after listening to this talk, "Thank you, sir, for your teaching! I believe Grandfather would agree with you, sir."


    "So that''s all for now, just rx on yourst day, purchase some necessary replenishment potions with the necessary props and get ready."


    With a wave of his hand, Mr. ck and White, the crowd followed suit and exited the stargazing room.
