Chapter 4187 Thoughts of Blessing
Montessone and Maggie have different areas of expertise in management, but both are much-needed talents for Rabbit Town.
If possible, Angell still hopes that Maggie will choose to stay.
However, he didn't immediately state his position. As Maggie herself said, the choice is two-way. She shared her "resume," and they would naturally offer corresponding "treatment."
“Although Mr. Montedan and I do have different management styles, but…” Maggie paused, shrugged, “I am also aware of my own limitations. With Mr. Montedan’s management skills, managing the Nen Masters’ branch in Connord would be a piece of cake.”
"Even if you may feel a little uncomfortable at first, it won't take more than a week before you can do better than me."
In Maggie's view, if Montessori were to manage the Kronodonian branch, it would be a classic example of downward incorporation. Adapting would be absolutely not difficult.
Montand was about to say something more, but Maggie waved her hand and said, "In terms of management skills, I'm no match for Mr. Montand. But if I do end up choosing to follow your Rabbit Hole, I'm happy to have you manage some personnel scheduling."
"However, I am better at giving blessings than managing others."
"As a Blessing Aura Master, I was once called 'the Awakening Light on the Journey' by the adventurers of Kronord, because my blessing aura could bring them beneficial effects, like the first light to shine on a dark journey... Although I think they were exaggerating a bit, my blessing effects have indeed helped many adventurer parties overcome difficulties, even death."
As she recounted her story, the others gained a general understanding of her abilities.
Maggie's Blessing effect, simply put, is to give adventurers a temporary buff.
Similar to the support characters in some games within a holographic tablet, they can provide teammates with attack power bonuses, attack speed increases, critical hit rate boosts, and so on for a limited time.
Of course, the above is just Angell's understanding from a game perspective.
The specific buffs that Maggie can provide to adventurers, and how long they will last, are currently unknown.
Even Maggie herself didn't know.
"According to the information in the text box, the blessing I originally possessed will later be restored to me as 'authority ability.' However, all of this will only be available after the Sandbox Wonderland ends."
This is similar to Montessori.
Montedan's access to the game has also been restricted. He will only regain his access after the Sandbox Wonderland ends.
However, there are some differences.
Montedan himself is very strong and has many abilities, so the Wonderland Authority did not tell him in advance what authority or ability would be granted to him after the Wonderland Sandbox ends.
Therefore, what kind of permissions and capabilities Montedan will have in the future is still a "blind box".
But Maggie is different. Her extraordinary ability is telekinesis, and her telekinesis has only one effect: the power of blessing.
Even though she has all sorts of blessings, such as amplifying physical abilities, amplifying spiritual abilities, and even granting "temporary invincibility," they are all generally categorized as "blessing thoughts."
Therefore, even though the Sandbox Wonderland is not yet over, she already knows that the "authority ability" she will unlock later will definitely be the ability to bless.
However, she wasn't entirely sure which specific blessing effects would be granted to her, or whether blessing effects like "temporary invincibility" were included in her permissions.
We'll only know for sure after the Sand Table Wonderland ends.
However, in order to prove her "worth", Maggie specially selected a few of the most popular blessing effects among adventurers and described them in detail.
"Environmental adaptation: When the blessed person enters a space with special environmental or physical requirements, they will automatically adapt to the needs of the current environment."
This blessing effect is exclusive to Maggie.
It is also the most favored blessing effect among adventurers.
As for the specific effects of this blessing, Maggie gave an example:
"Many 'Mind Abysses' exist in the unique deep-sea abyss near Kronord."
Nianyuan can be understood as a special miniature space, which often contains unknown dangers, such as various powerful Nian demons, Nian barriers that disrupt perception, and even terrifying Nian disasters.
However, along with the risks come different resources: Mind Demons drop various items, breaking through Mind Barriers can increase Mind Energy, and Mind Calamities can even generate unique Mind Minerals.
For Nianyuan, becoming rich overnight is entirely possible.
This is precisely why a steady stream of adventurers are drawn to venture into the Abyss of Thought.
"You can also think of 'Nianyuan' as a fantasy dungeon."
Previously, adventurers could only challenge Nianyuan in its normal environmental form.
However, there are actually many special forms of Nianyuan, such as "Ant Nest Nianyuan", "Stone China", and "Between Dust".
These Nian Yuan require a special physical form to enter. For example, in the Ant Nest Nian Yuan, you not only need to be miniature, but you also need to transform into the form of an ant to enter.
Previously, adventurers were completely unable to meet the entry requirements for the Ant Nest Abyss, but since Maggie's "Environmental Adaptation" was introduced, even if you are 3.8 meters tall outside, you can turn into an ant-man who is less than 2 centimeters tall and enter the Ant Nest Abyss.
There's also the Nianyuan in Shizhongguo, which requires one to transform into a stone figure smaller than the palm of one's hand to enter.
To enter the realm of dust, one must be smaller than dust itself.
Although these Nen Abysses are small, they are rich in resources. In the past, adventurers and Nen Masters would never have even thought of coveting the resources in these Nen Abysses, but Maggie's appearance completely changed the ecology of the Kronord adventure circle.
This shows just how incredibly powerful and popular Maggie's blessing is.
After hearing about the effect of "Situation Adaptation", Angel's eyes lit up. This blessing effect reminded him of... the Tomb of the Kirishima Dragon!
Only dragons can enter Kirishima Dragon Tomb.
Therefore, even though this instance was opened very early and is not far from the densely populated Rabbit Town, not many people have been able to go in and explore it. Although there are people coming and going near the entrance, many people do not even know that there is an instance entrance in mid-air.
So far, only a portion of the Mirror Dragons from the Hundred Dragon Kingdom have ventured into it, and the completion rate of the dungeon is pitifully low.
If Maggie's "Situation Adaptation" can even make challengers adapt to the "Dragon" attribute, wouldn't that mean that the Kirishima Dragon Tomb will also usher in a major progress explosion?
Moreover, "Situational Adaptation" is just one of the special blessings Maggie possesses. She has many other blessings that are no less powerful. For example, she can directly amplify the Nen abilities of others. Even three-star Nen masters can receive a percentage-based bonus under her amplification.
Furthermore, it grants immunity to curses, avoidance of fate's prying eyes, brief moments of invincibility, and even direct bestowal of good fortune.
These effects are all very powerful, and even Angell would be envious of the one that grants good fortune...
It's unclear which of these blessing effects will translate into access permissions and be distributed across the system.
It would be great if "situational adaptation" and "fortune" could be delegated.
Angell was deeply moved after hearing Maggie's story, let alone the others.
Everyone knows that such a powerful blessing master is an absolutely positive boost to any faction!
The bunny girl even started giving Angel and Laplace meaningful glances, urging them to find a way to keep Maggie.
On the other hand, Maggie stopped after explaining her blessing ability and proving her "worth".
She looked at the rabbit girl with an inquisitive gaze, then turned to Angell and Laplace.
Although the rabbit girl is the leader of the rabbit hole, according to her observation, Angel and Laplace seem to be the ones who can make the final decisions in this group.
Angell understood what she meant: Maggie had made her value clear, and now it was time to see what the rabbit hole could offer her.
Even if she can only remain as a follower in the future, she hopes to receive more favorable treatment.
Just as Angell was arranging his words, preparing to talk to Maggie about the "future," Montessori suddenly spoke up.
"Miss Maggie, if I may offer a word of advice."
Everyone's attention immediately turned to Montessori, including Maggie's.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Montedan slowly said, "Your blessing ability is undoubtedly very powerful. But you need to know one thing: you may not necessarily be able to obtain the blessing ability."
Maggie: "I understand what you mean. Authority doesn't necessarily grant me the right blessing, that's something I..."
“No,” Montessori interrupted, “that’s not what I meant.”
"What I mean is, you might not receive the blessing ability at all."
Under Maggie's questioning gaze, Montedan slowly said, "I don't know if you noticed the Wonderland information in the text bar, but it clearly mentioned that... the authority ability is unlocked by the Sandbox Master."
What Maggie said earlier is correct; the access ability will indeed be unlocked after the Sandbox Wonderland ends.
However, this does not mean that Maggie and Montecristo will immediately gain access to the abilities once the Sandbox Wonderland ends.
Their abilities need to be unlocked personally by the final victor, the "Master of the Sand Table".
In other words, if Maggie ends up on the wrong side and the team she follows doesn't ultimately win, then her blessing ability is very likely to remain unsealed.
Maggie's eyes flickered as she looked at Montand: "What you mean by that is...?"
Montedan: "My point is simple. I can understand that Miss Maggie prefers process justice and favors the Singer's Team. However, if Miss Maggie has any expectations for the future, then you should understand that only when the Lord of the Sandbox unlocks your abilities will you be able to establish yourself in Dream Crystal Plains in the future."
"The birth of the master of the sand table only recognizes the result, not the process."
Montessori stopped there, confident that Maggie would understand what he meant.
Even if Maggie favors the Singers team, she still has to consider "who is more likely to win".
Rabbit Hole has super-powerful items and has already achieved two perfect clears, giving them a score more than 100 points higher than the Singer Team. If they can achieve one more perfect clear, they can basically lock in their position as the Sandbox Master.
Ultimately, it boils down to two choices: choose the team that suits her better right now, or choose the team that can give her a future.
But if something is to your liking now, can it really stay that way forever?
Maggie was only awake for a day, and her understanding of both the Singers and the Rabbit Hole remained at a "strange initial impression." What she thought was "perfect" might just be an illusion due to not seeing the whole picture.
After all, she had never truly spent time with the singers' team, nor had she ever seen the rabbit hole inside the level. This sense of "satisfaction" was too superficial.
After hearing Montand's words, Maggie fell silent.
She knew that Montand was speaking up for Rabbit Hole, since he had already joined Rabbit Hole and was naturally on Rabbit Hole's side.
But it must be said that Montessori's words moved her.
Judging from the current situation, Rabbit Hole does indeed seem to be the winner.
Originally, Maggie's Libra was neutral, but now it began to lean towards the rabbit hole.
She does have a strong liking for the Singers group, but can that liking bring a future?
If the Singers' Team could perform better and reach the top of the leaderboard, or if the Golden Land could reach the third level and ascend to the Golden Throne, she might now favor the Singers' Team.
But the Singers' group failed to achieve that, and as Montessori said, the final result is more important than the "ideal" process.
Of course, although Maggie already had a preference for the rabbit hole, she didn't show it immediately.
She is still waiting for... an opportunity.
At this moment, Angel finally spoke up, his tone frank and direct: "I admire Miss Maggie's abilities. Whether it's her experience in managing the Nen Master team or her blessing ability that can cover the risks of adventure, these are much-needed assets for us at Rabbit Hole."
He changed the subject slightly, not in a hurry to make any promises: "However, I can't tell you the specific benefits I can offer right now. After all, I don't know what you really want. Is it more flexible room for maneuver? Or is it a voice that matches your abilities? We can talk about these things after you join us."
"Don't worry, we won't change our tune after you join. We can swear on this with a contract that we will not mistreat any of our own people."
After a pause, Angell made a more crucial promise: "But there's one thing I can be sure of right now. If you're willing to join the Rabbit Hole, you'll also receive an invitation from Dream Mirror and become a member of Dream Mirror."
"A member of Dream Mirror?" Maggie frowned slightly, not quite grasping the significance of this identity.
It sounded like an organization, but she had absolutely no idea what it meant.
She glanced at Montedan instinctively, who simply nodded slightly and whispered, "If you don't have a concept now, on your way to meet the Singers' team later, you might as well ask someone else who knows about the meaning of 'Dream Mirror'."
Montedan's tone was somewhat confident: "I believe that once you understand what being a member of Dream Mirror means, you will naturally have the answer in your heart."
