Chapter 522 - 296 The Craftsman's Mouth, a Deceiving Ghost_2 Modified:
Time reboots.
Then Ji Jue dies again.
Died due to a misstep, falling from his own outer space combat satellite, screaming for half an hour before burning to ashes in the atmosphere before hitting the ground.
The examiner gave him 3 points, considering he died quite creatively.
Time reboots.
Dead.
Reboot, die again, reboot again, die again.
Die, die, die, die, die, die, die.
In the end, Ji Jue's mind completely exploded, furiously pointing at the sky, cursing the examiner for a whole day.
From start to finish, the examiner just smiled lightly, without any response.
Until Ji Jue was finally too tired to curse, he sat down, utterly exhausted: "You damn well knew from the beginning, I was never going to succeed, right?"
"Hmm? You must have confidence in yourself, young man."
In the luxurious independent space, the examiner sat in front of the fireplace warming himself, sighed lightly, "The most precious qualities in a person are patience and hope. With unlimited resources and unlimited blessings, if you find the right way, you can even pile worms to death!"
Ji Jue was so angry he started laughing.
Pile to death? Sounds simple, why don't you damn well try it yourself!
"Oh, by the way."
The examiner paused, then sighed, "I actually played a minor part in the campaign against the Nether Sea Worm, hmm, you weren't planning to say 'if you can, you do it' or something like that, were you?"
Damn you...
Ji Jue was completely defensive, not wanting to play anymore.
He fell backward.
Spread out on the beach.
"Why don't you just kill me directly!"
"What do you take the association for?" The examiner seemed shocked: "We are the craftsman management agency, how could we kill innocent apprentices?"
"Just imprison innocent apprentices, making sure they can't leave, right?!
Ji Jue sneered, "You're all grown-ups, stop being so hypocritical, okay? Just be direct—what exactly do you want to do?!"
"Hmm..."
The examiner seemed a bit stunned, fell into contemplation, for a long time, then sighed as if suddenly enlightened:
"To be honest, I haven't decided yet!"
Ji Jue felt his sanity getting wrecked again—how could you damn well say such idiotic words with such confidence!
"Don't be so hasty."
The examiner gently comforted: "I just want to understand the current young generation, find some common ground with the new generation. It's a process to enhance understanding."
Ji Jue was silent, gritting his teeth, for a long time, squeezed out the words through clenched teeth: "What do you want to understand, just ask directly!"
The examiner curiously asked: "You are also a craftsman, so let me ask you: can you trust the words coming from a craftsman's mouth?"
"..."
Ji Jue was left speechless.
If the words from a craftsman's mouth had any credibility, there wouldn't be so many greenhorn craftsmen wandering around begging for funding and being mistaken for scammers.
"See!"
The examiner laughed: "Reality speaks louder than words, actions speak louder than words, Ji Jue, humans can lie, but their hands don't."
"Who said they don't?"
Ji Jue retorted, raised his hand, made an OK gesture towards the sky.
Immediately, his wrist twisted, his ring finger and pinky speedily pulled back.
Then, he noticed his right hand turned into a mosaic...
"..."
Ji Jue's expression twitched, lost for words.
"Well, it won't now."
The examiner leisurely sipped his tea: "Moreover, such opportunities are rare, why waste them? No need to test around anymore, Ji Jue, aren't you also enjoying this?"
"How am I enjoying this?"
Ji Jue was furious: "From the beginning to the end, only you are enjoying it, alright?!
"Let's see, the internal elapsed time is more than four hundred forty years, but without accelerated and saved states, it's been five or six months based on your subjective time, hasn't it?
What's the point of persisting so long if you find no pleasure in it?"
The examiner asked curiously: "Even now, you still diligently explore, right? The chance to change the world is right in front of you, which craftsman would remain indifferent?"
"I don't care."
Ji Jue retorted, "How the world turns out has nothing to do with me!"
"...Then fine."
The examiner sighed, seeming resigned, suddenly a chair appeared in front of Ji Jue: "I'm still handling some matters here, why don't you sit for a while."
He assured: "If you don't intend to change your mind, I'll send you out later."
Something's wrong! Definitely fishy!
Ji Jue instinctively became cautious, glancing around, wouldn't be surprised if that chair turned into a bomb sending him sky-high in the next moment.
But nothing happened.
Despite coming prepared for an explosion death, sitting down on the chair, nothing happened.
The ocean breeze gently blew, under the sunshade cool and refreshing, the afternoon sunlight bright, illuminating the beach and the clear sea, sparkling, breathtakingly beautiful.
Like a scenic resort, relaxing.
Ji Jue drank chilled soda, enjoying the nice moments, gradually letting his guard down, humming a tune until he heard a crunching sound from afar.
Indeed...
Ji Jue coldly smiled, turning back, he just knew it wouldn't be that simple!
Then, he saw...
A bicycle, carrying a person with drool on their face, grinning foolishly, wobbling towards him.
[???]
What the heck?
Crack, a crisp sound.
Right in front of Ji Jue, the bicycle fell, the chain broke.
After a hard fall, the fool climbed up from the ground, squealing angrily, kicked the bicycle twice, attempting to get back on and ride again, but no matter how hard he pedaled, the bicycle wouldn't move, instead, the broken chain got even more stuck.
Under Ji Jue's cold gaze, finally, the fool suddenly realized where the problem was.
