Chapter 798 - Unique Questions

Looking down at the desk that was filled with the overflowing stashes of files, Jason couldn't help but feel weird.
'So…I'm supposed to answer the questions in each of the files?' He wondered as he picked up the first file.
Turning over the first page, Jason began to read the questions, and the more he read, the deeper his confusion became.
'Those…are the questions I have to answer??'
Reading the entire file took him half an hour, and Jason had yet to think of an answer for even a single question that was written on it.
Taking a glance at the other files, he calculated that there were at least 20 files in total, which was quite a lot for a trial that was called 'Personality'.
Earlier, he believed that he would have to answer a few questions at most.
But, seeing that a total of 20 files were required to figure out his personality, he felt it was definitely too much.
Reading them would already take 10 hours, let alone thinking of an answer, or writing something on the files.
Despite that, Jason knew that he had to answer the questions in order to advance. This meant that he had no other choice than to cooperate and answer everything if he wanted to finish it quickly.
Thus picking up the pen that was lying on the desk, he couldn't help but sigh because there was one thing he had already figured out by reading the first file- the questions were extremely weird, and in some cases even ironic!
Jason had no idea if this had a deeper meaning or not,, but while reading through the first few questions that asked for his personal information, he simply answered them.
The Dungeon was probably better informed about the secrets of his body, but that didn't seem to include his mindset, personality traits, and so on.
As such, he answered all questions truthfully, only to come across the first sections of questions that asked him stuff that had nothing to do with his personal information.
Yet, the first question was also the one that he felt was truly ironic.
[Who should be hit by a shuttle given a choice between an elderly woman and a pregnant woman?]
First, Jason had assumed that he was requested to decide which one of them was supposed to be hit by the shuttle.
However, in that case, he would have to choose who was more important for society, without disregarding the fact that every life was equally important.
Despite this earlier thought, Jason soon realized that this question was nothing but a petty trick.
As such, he could only shake his head and write down the only suitable answer he could think of.
[The shuttle should hit the break!]
After he answered the first question of the new section, Jason felt that every following question had similar vibes, making him feel like they were testing him.
That not only included his ability to figure out whether the question was trying to find out a hidden answer but also to clearly determine how he was feeling every single second that he spent reading the questions.
Jason clearly sensed this owing to the unique energy currents that permeated the entire room.
It was almost as if they were analyzing everything inside the room, which was something Jason had never sensed or seen before.
Using his Emperor Eyes was also not very useful because he had no idea what exactly the energy in the room was.
In the end, he was only sure that it was neither Mana, Primordial energy, nor Spirit force!
However, after getting to know the Sacred Squirrel, Jason realized that there were more energies that were constructed with the help of more than one of the main cultivation energies.
That being said, he might not know the new, analytical type of energy, but it was crystal clear that his reaction to the questions was important.
Despite that, Jason didn't even think of altering his reaction just because he was being evaluated by the energy.
Instead, he had always been someone who couldn't hide his emotions.
No matter how much he tried to hide it, his Celestia aura was betraying him.
His emotions were connected to it, causing the aura to change accordingly.
Additionally, his expressions were also clearly showing how he was feeling.
Thus, he decided to stay true to himself, and not to disguise anything.
With that in mind, he continued to answer the questions that were more annoying and frustrating to read than anything else.
Finding a suitable answer took almost five minutes on average, while most of them took far longer.
As such, Jason couldn't help but feel that he might be forced to stay close to the desk, answering questions for more than a month!
This was much shorter than the second, let alone the first trial took him, and he had only finished the third trial quickly.
Nevertheless, the given task was completely different and a single hour of answering questions felt like a full day of the previous trials.
The only thing that allowed him to stay calm and not to despair in boredom, were his soulbonds, their cultivation progress, and the fact that he was able to passively cultivate too.
His mind had been strengthened to the extent at which he could cultivate without the need to neglect his train of thoughts upon encountering something complex.
As a matter of fact, the questions couldn't be counted as something complex, just a little bit intensive to think about.
Nevertheless, they were different from really complex things like the creation process of a world bridge, and so on.
In a way, they were simple but judged him on how he processed the questions and if he used his heart or mind to answer them.
Because of that, he could cultivate while answering the questions which was quite an advantage, allowing him to become stronger which he felt was required for the next trial!
Even though he had no idea about what would happen in the next trial, Jason felt that it was something grand, something that was completely different from the first four trials, something that would change the way he viewed the Primordials.
Owing to this premonition, Jason decided to focus on becoming stronger while telling his soulbonds to do the same.
He even forced the Sacred Squirrel to take the situation seriously, which the little girl decided to do.
Having spent a few days with the other soulbonds and Jason playing around, the Sacred Squirrel felt much more connected to all of them.
The soul connection was gradually becoming stronger with each passing day, even more so during the days they had played with each other.
Thus, he felt that it was only a matter of time before the fortified soul conjunction would be initiated with his newest soulbond.
Jason awaited the day of the Sacred Squirrel's fortified conjunction because he wanted to find out how exactly the other blessings worked.
One might think that they were useless, but that was not Jason's opinion.
According to him, every single blessing, and even curse had its own unique points, whether it was a strength or weakness.
With the soul conjunction of the Sacred Squirrel in mind, an entire month passed until he had finally answered the majority of questions present in all files.
They had become weirder the longer he looked at them, and Jason couldn't help but feel that his head was burning.
Having been forced to answer all kinds of seemingly stupid questions only to figure out that they were not even as stupid as he thought they were, Jason had begun to question himself about the answer he had given to every single question.
Thus, he had reviewed them once again, depriving him of sleep as his mind was working relentlessly.
Nevertheless, he was able to answer the questions after a month that felt like an eternity!
