God-Level Game Developer System: I Brought In-Game Items To Real World - Chapter 196

Chapter 196: Musical Theater And The Three Challenges
After Bianca agrees to take the Equality Authority in the Hall of Mirrors, they all have decided on their team line-up.

For the Music Authority at the musical theater: Shirohige, Weiss, Ayame, Kayden, and ProGamerXD.

For the Equality Authority at the Hall of Mirrors: Bianca, Winston, GoldMiner, JordanPlayz, and Kuroneko.

When their team line-up was decided, Weiss asked Kenshi, “What about you, bro? You going with us or are you staying in the gym?”

Hearing Weiss’ question, Kenshi responded while swinging his wooden sword perfectly, “I’d rather stay here in the gym and work on my one thousand sword swings. Even if I accompany the two groups, I won’t be able to contribute much since even Kuroneko is stronger than me now.”

Kuroneko complained, “The way you said it is as if I was useless before.”

Kenshi shook his head, “No, you weren’t useless before. You were just weak. But now, your Shironeko Form posed a lot of threat to me which means that I am now the weak one.”

“I don’t want to remain as the weakest so I can only train and obtain the Sword Authority.”

ProGamerXD joked, “If it makes you feel better, you aren’t the weakest since I’m currently the weakest member of the team.”

After they joked with each other, the two of them soon split into groups of two and left the gym while Kenshi stayed in there.

…

Weiss was accompanying Shirohige’s team as he led them to the musical theater.

As for Bianca, Weiss didn’t necessarily need to lead either of the two teams so he wasn’t worried about Bianca getting lost in the luxury cruise ship. After all, they still have the golden bell given to them by the butlers.

As long as they ring the golden bell, they can summon their personal butler or maid to do their bidding.

Before they had split into two teams, Weiss had reminded Bianca’s team about that so they summoned a butler to guide them to the Hall of Mirrors.

After a few minutes of traversing the hallways in the luxury cruise ship, Weiss and the members of Shirohige’s team arrived in front of a door.

Weiss twisted the doorknob and opened the door which revealed the interior of the room.

The musical theater was silent, with rows of empty velvet-covered seats facing the stage. The stage was set with a grand piano in the center, the lid opened, and surrounded by chairs with music stands holding sheet music.

On one side, a harp stood ready, and a row of brass instruments like trumpets and trombones glinted under the stage lights. Woodwinds, including clarinets and flutes, rested on a table to the right. Violins and cellos were placed with their bows beside them.

The backdrop was a heavy velvet curtain and a chandelier hung overhead, its light reflecting off the polished instruments. The theater awaited its next performance, everything in place and ready.

However, despite the grand ambiance of the musical theater, there wasn’t anyone inside the musical theater aside from Weiss and Shirohige’s team who had arrived just now.

Not knowing what to do, Shirohige asked Weiss, “What should I do to start my challenge for the Music Authority?”

Regarding Shirohige’s question, Weiss pointed to the chair of the grand piano and answered, “You can sit there and the challenge for the Music Authority will start. Not all challenges for the authorities have a Special NPC or Special Event NPC overseeing it.”

“Similar to how GoldMiner obtained his Midas Authority, you only need to meet certain requirements to trigger the challenge. In GoldMiner’s case, he needed to touch the golden stone and let the golden stone deem him worthy of the Midas Authority and if he had failed, he would turn into a golden statue.”

“As far as I know, failure to complete the challenges for the Music Authority will cause your senses of hearing, sight, and touch to be removed. You can still retain your senses of taste and smell.”

Hearing Weiss stating the condition for triggering the challenge as well as the punishment for failure, Shirohige complained, “The challenge might as well kill me if they even removed my sense of touch. A human can still live without hearing and sight but losing the sense of touch might as well be killing me.”

Weiss shrugged, “That’s how difficult the challenges for the authorities are. Even in Kayden’s challenge for the Gambling Authority, your soul was wagered, wasn’t it? If Kayden failed the challenge, you’d experience something worse than death since your soul is taken, you can’t experience reincarnation.”

“But as far as I know, the difficulty of the challenges isn’t proportional to the power of the authority. For example, an authority can be the weakest there is in the game yet have the most difficult challenge. The same can be said for the strongest authority having the easiest challenge.”

“At most, the challenges for the authorities are related to the authorities themselves. And in your case, you need to experience a few music-related challenges to obtain the Music Authority. Not just one but a few of them. As for how many challenges there are, I am not certain.”

“That’s as far as I can inform you about the Music Authority. If you are ready, you can sit on the chair positioned in front of the grand piano.”

“As long as you sit there, it will trigger the challenge for the Music Authority.”

Receiving Weiss’ explanation, Shirohige nodded his head and mentally prepared himself.

After several seconds of preparing himself, Shirohige walked towards the grand piano as he ascended the stage platform and arrived in front of the grand piano.

Afterward, Shirohige listened to Weiss and sat on the grand piano’s chair.

When he sat on the grand piano’s chair, Shirohige felt as if an unknown force enveloped him.

Soon enough, Shirohige obtained information about the challenges for his Music Authority.

In total, there were three challenges, and completing three challenges will allow Shirohige to obtain the Music Authority. But if he ever failed even one challenge, Shirohige’s senses of hearing, sight, and touch would be removed!
