At this moment, Fu Yingshu and Ge Yu both stood up and walked to the shelf, keenly observing the boxes.
Ah Chen could see that the eyes of the two were shining with power, and then they successively found the boxes with their names on them.
This was a magic skill for penetrating barriers.
Lin Xixi saw Fu Yingshu returning with a box, full of smiles: "Senior brother, you’re amazing."
"You can try it too," Fu Yingshu said. This basic skill for penetrating barriers was something Lin Xixi had learned, but using it as a beginner would make one feel dizzy.
Lin Xixi nodded, glanced at Ah Chen, and stepped forward.
Luo Yun, who had somehow appeared beside Ah Chen, softly asked, "Aren’t you going to make a move?"
Seeing Fu Yingshu succeed so quickly, she realized that Lin Xixi would surely find her box, which made her a bit anxious.
"No rush," Ah Chen said. The commissioner hadn’t really calculated; they had just picked one in their mind.
She planned to proceed according to the original timing.
Luo Yun didn’t ask more, continuing with her divination.
Now she had to worry about herself. She also wanted to get the five hundred thousand hard-earned fees, as it was akin to picking money off the ground.
After a while, Lin Xixi suddenly turned pale, nearly stumbling to the ground. For her current state, using such a barrier-penetrating magic was still a bit strenuous. The main issue was the number of boxes; looking through them almost made her falter. Luckily, she soon found the box belonging to her.
"Congratulations, Master Lin," said Chen Wan’an.
Lin Xixi, with a pale face, walked down. Without realizing, she stepped on something and almost fell. Fortunately, Wen Song, who was sitting nearby, quickly got up and caught her.
"Master Lin, are you alright?" Wen Song asked.
Lin Xixi hurriedly steadied herself and lightly nodded, "I’m fine, thank you, Mr. Wen."
"Do you need to rest?" Wen Song asked again.
Lin Xixi refused. The dizziness was from forcing the use of magic, and resting anywhere would be the same.
Besides, she wanted to know how Feng Chen would respond next since Feng Chen hadn’t made a move yet.
Was she waiting for fewer boxes to make it easier to muddle through?
But how many people here could find a box? If someone chose incorrectly, they had to put it back; passing unnoticed wasn’t feasible.
Wen Song naturally didn’t insist, sitting down again.
[Mr. Wen truly is a good person, but unfortunately, fate has torn them apart.]
[Xiao Xi truly has skills, but it’s still a bit challenging for her, not as relaxed as the previous ones.]
[Xiao Xi never considered herself a master; her online name is "The Little Xi Learning Mystical Skill," being so modest, and yet some criticize her?]
[Look, someone opened an empty box.]
Subsequently, not only were there empty boxes opened, but also boxes with other people’s names, which made some aware of their abilities decide to delay further.
Unfortunately, having no skill means having no skill; it doesn’t change the outcome.
Those with skills displayed their talents, with some using barrier-penetrating magic like Fu Yingshu to find their box.
Most relied on divination to locate them.
No matter if they were divining or not, it seemed like they were.
Alright, if it’s death, let it be death, thought Luo Yun, as she scanned the card in her hand, her gaze landing on the tenth box of the ninth row. She stood up briskly, walked quickly, and picked up the box to open it.
Seeing the golden paper, her eyes gleamed with happiness. Was it really this accurate this time?
Picking up five hundred thousand for free, amazing!
Luo Yun returned and saw Ah Chen still hadn’t moved, which made her anxious again. To be honest, she really didn’t hope Lin Xixi would beat Feng Chen.
But if Feng Chen truly had no skills, then there was nothing to be done, alas.
Hopefully, Feng Chen’s luck would be better.
As she was thinking, the black-robed witch Deborah at the same table moved. She raised her snake-shaped staff and pointed it at the shelf, making a box fly out and land in her hand.
Chen Wan’an didn’t come down, but he was the one who set the rules, so he naturally knew if she chose correctly.
"Congratulations, Deborah Witch, for successfully obtaining your box."
Everyone had to admire Chen Wan’an, the steward, for remembering everyone’s names and features, even their professions.
Deborah nodded slightly at Chen Wan’an and sat down.
"Good child, tell grandma, which box belongs to grandma?" At this moment, everyone’s gaze turned to a woman, in her fifties, looking like a shaman. Chanting under her breath, she walked to the shelf carrying a porcelain doll.
"Alright, grandma knows. You’re such a good child, a reward for you when we get back," the shaman said, picking up a box that indeed contained the golden paper with her name on it.
[That porcelain doll in the shaman’s hand, could it be a little ghost?]
[Whoa, how exciting.]
[True master’s skills leave people in awe; fake masters also make a commotion, spectacular!]
[Why hasn’t Feng Chen moved yet? Is she not capable?]
[Why worry? Isn’t there still time?]
[No need to wait anymore; so far, over thirty people have been eliminated, with less than ten passing the test. Thinking there’ll be fewer boxes making it easier is impossible! If you can’t do it, just choose already.]
[Boss Feng doesn’t seem panicked, I believe she has her plan!]
Lin Xixi’s gaze frequently fell on Ah Chen; the fans of the two were fervently arguing.
Ah Chen’s fans were very worried, while Lin Xixi’s fans were gloating, making all sorts of sarcastic remarks.
At that moment, Ah Chen stood up and walked toward the shelf.
The fans of the two stopped quarreling, and Lin Xixi also watched Ah Chen intently, her fists clenched. Could Feng Chen choose correctly?
"Need help?" Hua Wen suddenly transmitted to Ah Chen’s ear, "There was a child’s spirit inside that porcelain doll before."
Ah Chen replied, "No need."
"Moreover, if you appear, and are detected by those controlling the array, who knows what might happen."
"The array hasn’t been activated. Not attacking that little ghost might mean the person behind the array isn’t targeting it."
The array should target someone, not the commissioner, and certainly not that little ghost, so it shouldn’t be triggered prematurely.
Hua Wen perceived that Ah Chen truly didn’t need help, and didn’t insist.
The other party was a skilled master, probably without issues.
Ah Chen proceeded unhurriedly, barely hesitating before reaching for a box. However, before that, she swept her divine sense over it to ensure it was correct, then picked it up.
"Congratulations, Boss Feng," Chen Wan’an said with a smile, even paying attention to the address.
The commissioner didn’t like being called a master, so her viewers all called her Boss Feng.
Ah Chen smiled and nodded, returning to her seat with the box.
Luo Yun was surprised, was it this easy?
It seemed Feng Chen indeed had some skills.
Lin Xixi found it unbelievable; just now, she hadn’t captured any mystical skill-related power, yet Feng Chen neither used magic nor divination; how did she do it? Could it just be luck?
She looked towards Fu Yingshu, seemingly asking if he had discovered anything, but he lightly shook his head.
Fu Yingshu, however, was gazing at Ah Chen’s Jade Token, and upon seeing this, Lin Xixi glanced at it as well. Could she have cheated with the Jade Token? In that case, there were no words.
Ah Chen’s fans straightened their backs again, and the argument with Lin Xixi’s fans resumed.
Still, many continued to believe she was just lucky, like a blind cat bumping into a dead mouse.
