"The team that entered with you consists of eight people. They have all failed in life for various reasons and have almost reached the end of their wits. Now, they have learned that there is a treasure in the Vicente Primeval Forest. As long as they find the treasure, they will obtain a chest full of gold. This is theirst hope to survive. I need you to help them, guide them out of their despair, and lead them here to find the treasure in this forest."
Wilbur said, "That''s easy. Why not tell me the content of the second test as well?"
"It''s not that easy," Josie replied, casting a strange nce at Wilbur. "It''s easy for one person to escape despair because true despair doesn''t exist in this world. True despair exists in people''s hearts. Once someone falls into it, it''s very difficult for them to escape. I want you to help all eight of them escape the despair in their hearts. Only then will you have passed the test."
"That''s easy too."
Wilbur said confidently, "As long as I help them find the treasure and they see the chest of gold, they will naturally be happy and wille out of despair."
"Hmph, do you think the first test is that simple?"
"Are there other requirements?"
"Of course. I wasn''t done exining. Not only must you help them escape their despair, but you must also help them find the treasure. Additionally, I have one more requirement: when they see the treasure, they must willingly give up the chest of gold and return to a simple life. During this process, none of the eight people can die. If even one person dies, the test will be considered a failure. Simrly, if you cannotplete the task, the test will also be considered a failure."
"This is..."
Wilbur was suddenly stunned, his mouth agape, unable to speak. To him, it seemed easy enough to help the eight people out of their despair. All he had to do was find the treasure and show them the chest of gold. However, getting them to willingly give up the gold after seeing it was almost impossible.
After all, money had a powerful allure in this world. Few people could give up their final reward after striving for it. If they were unwilling to let go of ordinary things, how could they let go of a chest of gold?
"What''s wrong? Is it too difficult?"
"Yes," Wilbur said bluntly. "Human nature is unpredictable, and getting people to give up money is even harder. Josie, I want to know, if I fail this test, what is the punishment?"
"Failure and voluntary withdrawal are the same. As a consequence, you will be banned from entering this primal forest for ten years."
Hearing this, Wilbur took a sharp breath and said with a troubled expression, "But it''s really difficult. I don''t know how to make them give up their desire for gold."
Josie said, "If they gain something more precious than gold, they will naturally give up the gold. Also, you are the only one who can lead them to find the treasure because theyck the ability to traverse this forest on their own. Therefore, the final test''s timing is in your hands. Don''t worry. When you lead them into this forest, I will take care of you. You won''t encounter various strange troubles, and you will find the treasure smoothly. Now, this is all the help I can provide. Go andplete your task."
With that, Josie transformed into countless particles of golden light and vanished.
