The short-haired woman glanced at the pocket watch, the minute hand had already pointed to the '12' position.

May 15, 5:00 sharp.

"welcome everybody."

A calm voice suddenly sounded, immediately attracting everyone's attention.

In front of the central tree, a mysterious man wearing a black crane cloak stood upright, with his arms slightly open, in a welcoming gesture.

He was the closest to Iger and Fitch, but Iger and Fitch didn't feel his presence at all!

"When did he appear there?"

Mundo and Xia Zuo looked at each other. Although they were talking, they kept observing the movement around them.

"Not Mr. Spursey."

The sloppy man from Spurse, the man with glasses thought at the same time.

The rest of the people were also inexplicably surprised, but fortunately, the masks concealed the expressions of everyone.

"10 people came, and 1 gave up..."

Dylan, who was facing the crowd, silently looked at the crowd and confirmed the number of people.

The participants invariably moved closer to the central tree, waiting for the mysterious man to speak.

He casually lowered his arms, looked around and said, "Please allow me to introduce myself."

"For the time being, you can call me 'The Examiner', I'm from the 'Mysterious Holy See'."

When he said the words 'Mysterious Holy See', everyone's ears seemed to have an echo - this is a small application of 'spirit'.

'Mysterious Holy See', the sect of the evil gods?

Xia Zuo, who was far away, couldn't help but think of this, but he immediately rejected this guess.

The other party does not have the characteristics of a believer!

Symbols, words, and behaviors are not symbolic. This is not a manifestation of religious beliefs.

Finally, the glasses man who came to the venue raised his glasses. He was more concerned about the title of 'examiner'... So is this really an assessment? The forest environment is not very good...

Everyone thought about it, but they all had an unknown awe of the 'Mysterious Holy See'.

This is the other side of the world!

"Next, you will face a special assessment - 'knowledge hunting'."

Dylan didn't talk nonsense and went straight to the topic:

"In this forest, I have prepared knowledge from the 'extraordinary world' for everyone."

"This is the 'treasure' of the new world."

"Within 24 hours, please bring me 'real knowledge', as for the rules..."

The mysterious man chuckled: "I already told you."

Everyone's scalp was numb at his chuckle—

When did you say the rules? !

The mysterious man raised his right hand and said softly, "Everyone, I wish you a happy 'hunting'."

After speaking, he stopped moving.

The bald-headed strong man Mundo took a step forward and was about to ask a question, but Xia Zuo quickly grabbed him and shook his head gently.

Mundo hesitated for a while, then took his steps back.

At this moment, the **** woman in a vest said loudly, "If we pass this test, what can we get?"

Other people's eyes lit up, this is their common concern!

The mysterious man said ponderingly: "What you are curious about, what you fear, what you desire."

"I long for Kinnar." She said without hesitation, and did not hide her heart at all.

"It's a good wish." The mysterious man nodded.

Is that ok?

The **** woman is excited.

Others found that he would answer questions and immediately began to organize questions in their minds, but at this time, the mysterious man tilted his head and said, "'knowledge' is limited."

Hearing this sentence, three people turned around and ran!

Among them, Iger was run by Fichira, and the man with glasses ran the fastest.

The others were involved in each other, and most of them immediately turned around and ran towards the forest!

'Knowledge is limited', which means competition!

The short-haired woman didn't run, she didn't ask any questions, she just lowered her head and thought.

The long-haired girl who had been following her saw that everyone else had left, and asked softly, "Sister Naomi, aren't we leaving yet?"

The short-haired woman named Naomi's mouth trembled... She suddenly felt that being called by this girl was like being attacked.

And in the current situation, everyone is 'interviewing', and everyone is in a competitive relationship!

Naomi was always vigilant and didn't want to be with a girl who didn't know the details, so she said, "Go first, I'll go later..."

The long-haired girl paused, then nodded and said, "Okay."

After she finished speaking, she walked towards the forest without any fear.

Naomi snorted softly, obviously she was timid just now...

The reason why she hasn't set off is because she wants to get rid of the long-haired girl, and she is still analyzing.

If the words of the mysterious person are regarded as an 'interview question', then analyzing the information inside is the highest priority goal.

The other party said 'the rules have been told', it can't be a nonsense, so to distill all the words he said, only the sentence "this is the 'treasure' of the new world" may be the rule.

Or, the word 'treasure' is the rule!

"Treasure" is treasure, wealth, money, and the rules represented by such valuable things... In other words, they are trading rules!

"Knowledge" is "treasure", so they can be exchanged at equal value and cannot be robbed.

No, no... There is no imperial law here, maybe it can be snatched?

No, that's not right. If you can **** it, it's the same as if there are no rules. The other party doesn't need to emphasize the 'rules'!

Yes, that's it.

Naomi's eyes flashed with confidence, and all the blows she suffered before were quickly recovered at this moment.

After thinking about it, she resolutely walked towards the forest.

……

"Cough... You can't attack others." Fitch, who took Iger into the forest, coughed and said, "The rules presumably mean that 'knowledge' as 'treasure' is only allowed to be traded, and no other means are allowed."

Eagle said indifferently: "I see~lightnovelpub.net~ He said he wouldn't care about Fitch, but he didn't mean to leave at all.

Feige didn't care, and continued to analyze: "Since it can be traded, it means that the other party's 'knowledge' hidden in the forest is broken, and the broken pieces of knowledge are related."

Eagle interrupted: "Anyway, it's most important to collect 'them' first."

"..."

The corners of Fitch's mouth twitched, and under the mask, it was unpleasant to be interrupted.

……

The man with glasses carried a large bag on his back, which contained a lot of things he had prepared in advance.

His name is Hebrew Carlisle. He used to be a drug researcher at a pharmaceutical company, but he lost his job a month ago when his boss went bankrupt.

At this time he was moving slowly in the forest.

Before coming, Hebrew checked a lot of information. Night, especially wet night, is the peak period for many animal activities, and the sound caused by violent movements is likely to attract the attention of the "indigenous people".

He is a prudent and intelligent person, and he also knows his own strengths and weaknesses, so after he ran into the forest before others, he slowed down his pace instead.

"To accomplish something, you must first be clear about what the goal is."

Just like researching drugs, you have to have a direction first and then make a plan.

"So, what did the gentleman mean by 'true knowledge'?"
