It’s not nearly as formidable as it seems... What does that mean? Yu Shujun stared at Wen Nan in confusion, "Did you find out some secret about that person?" Wen Nan shook his head. He had a suspicion in his heart, but couldn’t be completely certain yet, intending to go to the testing space next door later, bluff that person, and see if he could reveal anything. Yu Shujun watched the subtle expressions on the other’s face, knowing that the man in front of him was definitely up to some mischief again. Yu Shujun had no doubt that in terms of cunning tricks, the other far surpassed the Guild Leader of the Ghost Control Master Alliance, after all, Yu Shujun himself had fallen for Wen Nan’s little schemes and still bore a golden mark of servitude on his neck. However, trusting the other didn’t mean he was at ease letting him confront that person head-on— Previously in the trial map, Yu Shujun was restricted by the character account, unable to use any level, skills, or equipment, plus he was careless, leading to being blindsided by Wen Nan. Now, that man on the opposite side was in a genuine Gold rank, and clearly well-prepared... Lost in thought, a soft chuckle came from above. Yu Shujun looked up and saw the other person watching him, head tilted slightly, with a hint of teasing, asking, "Worried about the master, little slave?" Yu Shujun’s brow twitched, initially wanting to deny it instinctively, but in the end, just pursed his lips, saying nothing. After a moment, the other’s fingertip lightly pressed against Yu Shujun’s lips. Wen Nan lifted the hollow ball again, pointed to the floating screen above, and said, "Time is short, be good, put it on?" Hearing what the other person said just now, Yu Shujun could roughly guess that this hollow ball presented to him, though not looking serious, should be some kind of device capable of storing skills. Previously, during their in-depth exchange in the Divine Staff Sheath, Yu Shujun knew that Wen Nan possessed two skills: one could temporarily steal Yu Shujun’s Root Breaking Slash, the other could enhance the stolen skill. But both skills had a fatal limitation—they required Wen Nan and Yu Shujun to continue their in-depth exchange. This limitation wasn’t an issue in the previously enclosed space where only the two of them were. However, under the current circumstances, there was no way the two of them could storm into Testing Space No. 2, having in-depth exchanges while battling the No. 2 candidate, right? Not to mention Yu Shujun couldn’t leave this testing space, even if he could, it wouldn’t be possible. Therefore, Wen Nan needed a device to help store the Root Breaking Slash stolen from Yu Shujun temporarily, to be used after entering Testing Space No. 2. Evidently, the hollow ball was precisely such a storage container. Upon realizing this, Yu Shujun’s brows furrowed, not keen on putting such a thing in his mouth, but the other side evidently needed this storage container very much. Eventually, after some inner struggle, Yu Shujun gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement. Wen Nan smiled with satisfaction, "Good, open your mouth." Though feeling a bit resistant, Yu Shujun looked towards the other and obediently opened his mouth, revealing two neat rows of small white teeth. Having no experience in this aspect, the sudden foreign object sensation made Yu Shujun gag a few times, hearing the other side say softly: "It feels uncomfortable at first, endure a bit, you’ll adapt soon." With a click, the clasp at the back of the head locked in place, the device activated, and Yu Shujun finally saw the description of this device in his system— Junxin: [Filigree Hollow Mouth Ball: State-lock type device. Applying this device to a specific target can lock the current state of one skill, attribute, or equipment of the target, allowing use at any time within the storage valid period. Note: 1....2....3. For reproducing skills, both the original and reproduced subjects can be the target of the device, with the locked state determined by the user’s attributes.] After reading the device description, Yu Shujun’s brows furrowed even deeper. Seeing this, Yu Shujun glared angrily at the man in front of him, his eyes full of questioning: this mouth ball clearly suited Wen Nan himself more! With the tongue stuck in the hollow gap, Yu Shujun’s words of accusation became muddled and unclear. Wen Nan touched the other’s flushed cheeks and explained with a straight face, "Not lying to you, truly, it can only be used on you." Saying so, Wen Nan raised his hand, pointing at the row of floating numbers above his head, "We’re conducting a test now. My Fear Value must efficiently, smoothly, and completely convert into desire value to ensure that at the end of this competition, the candidate qualification remains in our possession. "Placing the device on me would seriously affect my performance. Conversely, having it on you would greatly enhance my conversion rate, so no matter what the usage instructions say, it must be used by you." The other side’s fallacious reasoning left Yu Shujun with no counterargument, forcing him to gaze at the other in frustration. Accompanying Yu Shujun’s current posture, this teary-eyed, angry stare at Wen Nan was simply adding fuel to the fire. Wen Nan glanced at his stats panel and cursed "damn" lowly. [Fear Value: 11; Desire Value: 5; Conversion Rate: 31.25%.] Could this damn system have a malfunction in its judgment program? He hadn’t even started the "gourmet meal" yet, just struck a pose, snapped a photo, and it already showed him as one-third full?! There’s no time to think about it now, Wen Nan quickly stepped forward, held the other’s waist, displayed his dazzling golden underpants, and got straight to the point. Yu Shujun didn’t expect the other to "pole vault" without even a running start, scared with eyes wide open, bending backward in retreat, but helplessly there was nowhere to go, soon pulled back into the other’s arms... 9527: [Detected negative distance contact with the target, skill successfully activated—Endurance is the Way.] 9527: [The skill will remain effective during the contact with the target.] 9527: [Detected the selected target’s "painful yet joyful" emotion, collected emotion value: 1 point.] 9527: [Your skill, No Sassy Business, has been activated.] 9527: [Detected multiple stealable skills from the selected target, prioritized main skill for you.] 9527: [Successfully stole skill: Root Breaking Slash.] As the system notifications sounded in his mind, in the darkness, the golden boxer shorts clashed with golden lace repeatedly, like sparks from a smith’s hammer in the night, creating an unusual beauty.
