Huh? Isn't This A Galgame?

Just as he was lost in thought, a system notification suddenly sounded in his mind—

9527: [A God-level (the highest level in this game world) item detected—Divine Staff Sheath!]

9527: [Congratulations, player!]

Wen Nan was slightly taken aback. He had not heard the system voice 9527 for so long that it felt somewhat unfamiliar.

After being stunned for a moment, Wen Nan skillfully opened the description page of the [Divine Staff Sheath] in his mind—

[Divine Staff Sheath: The Great Demon Master Ah Rham foresaw the shattering of the Divine Staff. Before this, TA crafted this staff sheath for the Divine Staff. By owning the sheath and gathering all 12 Divine Staff Fragments scattered in the game world, you can reforge the Divine Staff.

The owner of the Divine Staff holds a status equivalent to the Supreme God of this world. Becoming the Supreme God of this world grants you the ability to overturn the world.

The Divine Staff Sheath is the model that unites the 12 fragments; it's the key to uncovering the world's greatest secret, the essential cornerstone to ascending the supreme throne!

From the moment you obtained the Divine Staff Sheath, you are already the Chosen One closest to the supreme throne in this game world.

Treasure your luck and achievements, become the Sword Holder, become a candidate for the supreme throne, become the Angel Envoy searching for the lost fragments!]

After the item description ended, an option page emerged below—

[Collect the residual energy of the "Replica's Soul" in your palm into the Divine Staff Sheath to permanently bind with it. Bind now?]

[A. Permanently bind, immediately becoming the Sword Holder.]

[B. Temporarily bind, your ownership of the Divine Staff Sheath will last for 72 hours. After 72 hours, if no new Sword Holder candidate appears, you can re-complete the temporary binding. If a new Sword Holder candidate appears, all candidates will undergo a qualification test, and the winner can complete the temporary binding.]

[C. Refuse to bind, you will forever lose the qualification to become the Sword Holder.]

Gazing at these options, Wen Nan fell into deep thought.

Based on the descriptions, C is surely not an option as it would leave no room for regret.

If he chooses B, he would have to re-bind every 3 days. If another candidate (Wen Nan guessed it meant all players possessing the Divine Staff Fragments) shows up after 3 days to compete for the qualification, they would all have to undergo a test together, with the winner claiming the binding.

This means that every 3 days, Wen Nan would face the risk of losing his binding qualification.

If he chooses A, he could bind with the Divine Staff Sheath without any future worries.

This [Divine Staff Sheath] is, unexpectedly, the highest-level item in the entire game world.

However, unlike the descriptions of the items and equipment Wen Nan had acquired before, this description was full of grandiose rhetoric but didn't include a single clear function or benefit.

"Possessing the ability to overturn the world," what specific ability does this refer to? Wen Nan asked the system, only to receive a response that the information was pending unlock.

Based on the introduction text, after acquiring the Sword Holder identity, he would be compelled to undertake the quest to find all 12 Divine Staff Fragments.

What would be the penalty for a permanent binding without fulfilling the role of an Angel Envoy is something the system was unwilling to disclose to him.

Nevertheless, it is certain that the owners of such powerful items like the Divine Staff Fragments are top-tier elites in this game world. Collecting those fragments would inevitably set him against them.

Wen Nan is currently just a beginner player who has barely touched the threshold of a mid-level instance, and he doesn't believe he has the capability to oppose those top-tier elites.

"Possessing the ability to overturn the world," it indeed sounds like an enticing prospect, but Wen Nan's appetite is small right now, and he can't take it all in.

After contemplating for a while, Wen Nan ultimately chose option B, temporary binding.

At the moment he pressed the option, the exterior of the Divine Staff Sheath immediately emitted a breathing light, which congregated within those 12 runes, specifically within one half of the Pisces "∈" rune.

That rune projected into the air and was conveyed before Wen Nan.

Wen Nan raised his hand, aligning the central "∈" of the golden control pattern in his palm with precision.

In the next instant, intense light burst within the Divine Staff Sheath as though it would penetrate its hard exterior completely.

In his mind, the system notification sounded—

9527: [Congratulations, player! You have successfully completed a temporary binding with the Divine Staff Sheath!]

9527: [For the next 72 hours, you will be the owner of the Divine Staff Sheath, possessing its full usage and command rights. During this period, any attempt to steal or deprive you of this right will be subject to sanction by this game world.]

The staff sheath in his hand wobbled twice, and the golden light gradually dimmed, returning to its wooden rod appearance.

The wooden rod gradually shrank in Wen Nan's palm, eventually becoming the size of a USB drive.

Wen Nan rubbed his finger over the fine runes resembling mosquito legs, discovering that upon shrinking, these runes fit perfectly into a rectangular frame, resembling the hidden door in the ceiling of his guest room back at Snow Mountain Villa.

With his thoughts stirred, Wen Nan pressed his fingertip against the frame.

With a "click," the "small door" opened, revealing a connector inside.

"D.U.D.U. chip! Insert!"

The white cleaning robot on the wall exclaimed excitedly with its thin electronic voice.

As expected, just like Wen Nan initially speculated, this Divine Staff Sheath, similar to the G-point of Erin Building, can also house that special chip.
