BXBX NOVEL Chapter 90: Second and Third Challenge
Objective: Solve the Ancient Puzzle given by the World\'s Will to the city\'s challengers
Description: The challenger must demonstrate their intellectual abilities by solving a complex and ancient puzzle created by the World\'s Will. This puzzle is a testament to the wisdom and knowledge required to govern the city.
Details:
The puzzle is located in a special space created by the world\'s will where there is a time difference compared to the real world so that the challengers are not worried about spending too much time on this quest. The puzzle involves deciphering ancient scripts, understanding historical clues, and applying logical reasoning, along with making sure that the citizens can prosper under your reign.
The puzzle is designed to test the challenger\'s patience, problem-solving skills, and knowledge of the basic human structure and needs that not only help the citizens but also enable them to govern the nearby area. Ingenuity is also needed to make this city a better place for future generations.
Reward: acknowledgement of the challenger\'s wisdom by the world\'s will and the citizens, and the second key to the city lord\'s treasury.
This challenge surprised Xu Qianghua, as this was not part of the challenges he saw when a City Lord posted it on the forums.
Forums are the same as before the merge, but now, instead of being on the terminals, they can be accessed through the status bar.
And on the forums, a City Lord posted the challenges he completed before he became the new City Lord.
But it did not have this as one of the challenges; instead, it was a challenge where you had to prove your wealth, as this is one of the easiest ways to tell if the soon-to-be City Lord is successful or not.
This can determine if they are able to make this city much more prosperous and give better living conditions to the citizens.
However, with this new challenge, the plans that he had come up with will need to change, as Xu Qianghua had planned to assign someone else to be the temporary city lord.
But with this new challenge, he will need to bring someone else in, as he knew that none of the Shadow members he brought in were suited for this challenge.
And he was right, as the Trial of Wisdom challenge was the original challenge that was created by the world\'s will to test the challengers.
However, due to a lot of players failing this challenge, the World\'s Will had to change this challenge to The Trial of Wealth.
But due to this, the rewards you would get from the Trial of Wealth are much less than what someone would get from the Trial of Wisdom.
Finally, he looked at the last challenge, which the City Lord candidate will need to complete.
Challenge 3: The Trial of Dominion
Objective: Create an Army and Expand Controlled Territory
Description: The challenger must prove their leadership and strategic prowess by building an army from scratch and expanding their controlled territory. This involves recruiting and training soldiers, forming alliances, and conquering neighboring lands.
Details:
The challenger will be taken to a simulated sub-space where the challenger will need to create an army from the projected citizens who will have the same intellect as real humans.
They will then be given different scenarios where they will need to overcome them with their wits and ingenuity, which is required as the City Lord is the Commander of the City\'s Army.
The challenger will also be tasked with expanding their territory while effectively using the captured territory.
In addition, the challenger is graded on how well they manage resources and alliances, which are some of the most important requirements for being a good Lord.
Reward: the complete initial trust value of the citizens, the spiritual copy of the Guardian of the City, five Army expansion cards, and the final key to the city lord\'s treasury.
He sighed a sigh of relief, as the last challenge was the same as he remembered.
However, looking at the challenges, he could not help but marvel at the way the world\'s will had created a good set of challenges.
This is because these three challenges test the challenger\'s individual strength, internal affairs, and the challenger\'s military might and courage.
This is because the position of City Lord is something that all the Empire-style players take, as this is the first step to becoming an Emperor.
As a City Lord, they will need to deal with affairs that a King or an Emperor will need to face, but on a much smaller scale, which is something that every Empire-style player will need to be a good Emperor.
And the first city that the player controls will become the capital city of their kingdom or empire.
It is also one of the reasons why these challenges are created by the world\'s will to make sure that the beginning emperors are stable and knowledgeable enough to rule over their territory.
But this will not be Xu Qianghua\'s path, as he has other things planned for his life, such as getting stronger and creating a powerful clan.
As for now, he needs to choose the person who will become the challenger, as he will not be challenging since he does not plan on becoming an Empire-style player.
This is because as soon as he accepts the challenges, his profession will be converted to City Lord (upgradable), and it is impossible to change without some rare items.
That is why he brought in these Shadow members, who are some of the strongest in individual strength and military-wise but are not so good at internal affairs.
So he went towards the desk and sat on top of it while he thought of what to do.
Then he remembered that he had not used the family cards that were left over from his rebirth.
He then quickly called out the system inventory in his mind and found the two cards with mysterious lines and blurred figures.
Family Card (Chaos):
Description: It can be used in the family sub-space to create people to help the family head to success.
