Chapter 41 - Ch 41: Dungeon Of Guilt And Ideals

[ Welcome to the Special Dungeon: Dungeon of Guilt and Ideals]

[ Because you are not the first one to discover the Dungeon, no special reward will be given.]

.

Ray arrived at the inside of the Dungeon. This time, it was a weird black room with some traces of fighting all over the room.

But before Ray was able to do anything, a sound suddenly appeared inside the room.

< Welcome challenger. In this Dungeon, we are looking for the bravest, the smartest, the wisest, and the strongest.>

< The slot for the bravest, the smartest, and the strongest has been occupied, now the trial of the wise shall soon begin.>

Nani!???

This time Ray was truly confused about what happened here. This Dungeon was different than a normal dungeon, and he really had no clue how to do things.

However, his priority right now was to save Ellen and Elin, thus leaving him no choice but to go forward.

He took step by step with caution, and he activated his danger sense to the max. Nonetheless, until he reached the second room, there was still no danger that appeared.

Still, he was pretty surprised when he found he was not alone here. Aside from him, there were five other guys who seemed to be members of the Mahkota corporation team.

< DING!!! You have reached the first room. Answer the question correctly to go forward.>

< DING!!! The condition of six or more players has been reached, the trial will start. The goal of this trial was to find the wisest man that could gather the most assets amongst the participant. Another thing to remember, the first one to answer the correct question will get a gold coin.>

< The answer recorded will be your first answer, so please think carefully before you say something. Remember, to the wise one, silence is gold.>

< Question number 1>

< In this world, there are many miracles that couldn't be explained just by words alone. Now for this question, What kind of elephant could fly?>

What kind of question is this....

This is a type of question which the answer would surely stupefy them, and not only Ray, the other member of the Mahkota corporation's face also turned awkward.

< The first to get the correct answer will be transferred to the next level, so please be faster.>

" ..... "

Everyone in the room became way with each other. It's not like they didn't want to answer or didn't have the answer. But what made them hesitate was the fact that the Dungeon didn't say the implication if they failed to get the wrong answer.

Soon one of the members from Mahkota steeled himself and came forward to answer.

" Flying elephant. The kind of elephant that could fly is flying elephant!"

" .... "

Silence filled the room. Actually, all of them thought of the same answer. However, they never thought there would be such a person who would dare to say it.

Seconds passed, and because the Dungeon didn't give any response yet, that person felt a shiver on his spine.

But suddenly.

< DING!!! Correct answer. The kind of elephant that could fly is a flying elephant. Please proceed to the next room via the door provided, and don't forget to collect your reward.>

Nani!!!!!! x5

Since the name of this trial was the trial of the wise, they thought there would be some meaning on the questions, not just something like this. But of course, the one that came forward and answered felt very happy. He took the gold coin and quickly left the room via the small space that immediately opened after the Dungeon announced the right answer.

' This is stupid..'

' What the fuck? Trial of the wise, it's more like the trial of the silly.'

' That guy is really lucky.. *Sigh* It should be me.'

The event that just happened couldn't help but make the people left in the room have their own thought. Some of them cursed the trial, whilst some others blame their cowardice.

And then, the second question appeared, and the situation turned hectic.

< Second question, what kind of tiger could fly?>

Now everyone else was scrambling to be the first to answer the question.

" Me me, it is the Flying Tiger."

" Fuck you, this Lao Tzu is the first, that is the Flying tiger!"

" I am the first, Flying tiger!"

< DING!!! The correct answer is flying tiger, please the first person to answer it correctly, leave the room via the door provided.> Another door opened, and a small trace of light came to the first person who answered correctly.

The others who lost in the scramble to get the correct answer booed the Dungeon, but contrary to others who were so active, our protagonist Ray chose to stay silent in this round just like the previous one.

Soon, only two people were left in the room. Ray and one other Mahkota group member.

< DING!!! This is the last question in this room. What kind of bird could fly?>

" Flying bird!"

Hearing the word "last question," The Mahkota member couldn't control his temper anymore and quickly answered without much thinking. However, after his answer fell, his face immediately turned horrendous.

< DING!!! The answer flying bird is considered to be not precise enough. A punishment will be issued.>

Just like what they are afraid of, a false answer will truly give them punishment. The Mahkota member tried to beg and cry, sometimes even tried to break through the room forcefully. However, it was all futile.

Five minutes after the Dungeon announced that he got the wrong answer, the Mahkota member suddenly felt hot all over his body.

And then..

*BOOM!!!*

His body exploded, leaving a lump of meat scattered everywhere, leaving Ray to be the only one left inside the first room.

< DING!!! You are the last one left. So, do you already have the answer in mind?>
