——(POV Li Huang)——
I have eliminated around eleven thousand giant gray worms these past days and that amounted to half a million points.
To put this number Into perspective, the formations that activate with points need at least 10,000 points, so with this much points you can see that I can enter 50 of them.
Entering fifty of them might sound good but in reality, it is not worth the time that I have invested in eliminating these worms.
As these formation don't yield the results that I am looking for, the best plan of action is to go and tackle the formations that need a high amount of points because they would give better rewards on completion.
That aside, there is one other reason that I want to use these points fast here, I want to get out of this region. I have been here for two weeks now and I honestly got tired of sand and the giant worms who want to eat your face off.
As I have the [Peeping eye of heaven], it didn't take me long to locate all the formations in the region and with [Bird eye] I have already mapped all the parts so I can easily maneuver to each of them.
The only flaw of my map is that I don't know how many points each formation needs but this isn't something that I can't solve within a short time. Now that there are not many giant gray worms in the area, I can move fast and unhindered to get to these locations and check the entry fee for each one.
In just four hours I had all the prices mapped and I was ready to dive into one of them.
'It's funny that my perception of time has changed in this life as people live longer. If it was my past life, four hours of running around would be considered too much but now it is normal to me…' I shrugged my shoulders.
Looking at my updated map, the top formations in this region cost more than 100,000 points each to enter.
The top three goes like this: 200,000 points, 250,000 points, and the best one would cost 500,000 points.
'This formation is a scam.' If I enter this formation I would only have about 50,000 points left. It is like the trial is out to get my points.
I was complaining about it, but I was really intrigued by this formation. This formation is twice as expensive as other ones and that can only show one thing; this formation is at least twice as important as the other one.
I didn't dilly dally on it and went toward this formation. Getting the loot that is labeled half a million points would make killing all those giant gray worms worth it.
Standing in front of the formation, I didn't contemplate my decision anymore and walked right into it. The way these formations work is simple, as the points are not physical objects and are assigned to each participant by the trial's formation, you don't need to do anything extra and the points will be deducted from you automatically. To check how many points you have, you also have to use these formations like an ATM.
By the time I had blinked once, I was in the test location. The test area was a corridor that leads to two doors which were separated by a stone pillar that had some carvings on it.
Without many options other than going forward, I walked toward the end of the corridor. As I got closer to the stone pillar I could now see more clearly that those carvings were words.
Soon I was standing in front of the two doors and the stone pillar. Looking at the stone pillar I read its contents.
_____________
~~ to the young pup who has come here to challenge for fortunes;
If you have a weak will, save your life by exiting from the door to the left.
But if you are confident in your skills, the door to the right is the one you want to go in.
Your demise and fortune are in your own hands. ~~
_____________
I was stunned a little. So this test could result in you losing your life, interesting.
'I have the confidence in myself to finish whatever test there is here and it's not like they would give my points back if I decide to get out of the test…' With a mixture of greed and confidence fueling my mind, I choose the right door and continued with the test.
Entering the door, what greeted me was a big room with nothing in it except a mirror in the center of it and a chair in front of it.
I didn't see any other thing of significance here so my best shot was the mirror and the chair so I walked toward them.
As I arrived in front of the mirror, a carving on the chair caught my eyes.
~~ touch the mirror. ~~
'That's… a little ominous.' I thought after reading it.
Because there is a chair here, I sat down comfortably and extended my arm with my palm facing toward the mirror.
I hold my hand for a moment but after a second I moved my hand again and soon my fingertips were gently touching the mirror.
The moment I touched the mirror, the surrounding changed and I was looking at another version of myself and he was also looking at me.
——(POV third person)——
What Li Huang didn't know was that his consciousness was now in the mirror's space and outside of the mirror his body lay lifelessly on the same chair that he sat on earlier.
This mirror is called the [Soul and body mirror] and makes you face your inner fears or the so-called heart demons.
Li Huang who wasn't aware of this tried to gain some understanding of this test so that he can come out successful.
Looking at his double, Li Huang started speaking.
"So, you are me?" He asked the double in a relaxed manner.
The double on the other hand smirked a little and peered right into Li Huang's eyes.
"I am Li Huang. Tell me, can you say the same?" the double returned Li Huang's question to him.
Hearing this tone Li Huang flinched a little.
He knows it best that he wasn't always Li Huang. It is just more than a month that he is calling himself Li Huang and this problem was something that he often thought about.
He has been asking himself if he deserves to get this life that rightfully belonged to someone else, this thought has been in the back of his mind for as long as he can remember. Deep down he always felt guilt for this even though he didn't choose this body to reside in.
What made him remember this was the look on the double's face. This look was the same look that the 'Li Huang' had in his memories.
He knows this was a test but he couldn't stop this look from affecting his mentality.
Taking a deep breath, He opened his mouth and spoke.
"I'm…"
