Chapter 143: Surviving in the Sky Garden (6)
The 4th task, "Making Friends," had already been underway for 4 hours.
By the time the sun, which had risen in the east, was beginning to make its presence felt near the crown of her head, the clock had already passed noon.
The deadline for this task was 9 PM in the evening, after 12 hours. So at this point, a third of the task time had already passed.
So, how many of the 121 candidates had passed the task so far? Strangely enough, the answer was... only 9.
To think that even after 4 hours, the success rate hadn't reached even 10%. This was truly an incredibly difficult challenge.
"Hah... it's already been 4 hours, and I still haven't found a single one...!"
The low success rate of the task could be attributed to various reasons.
Firstly, fairies were generally impulsive and difficult to understand. Also, their physical growth stalled, and their mental age stayed at the level of a young elementary school student, among other things.
Moreover, the candidates for the Fixer exam were mostly strong individuals who often gave off a rather intimidating vibe. People like oil and water naturally wouldn't get along.
Another reason was that each fairy could only be friends with one candidate at a time. Sometimes, the fairies would ask for impossible favors, or when meeting face-to-face, it turned out that the fairy was not as likable as expected.
As expected from the Fixer exam, which had never been easy, the difficulty level was comparable to previous tasks, proving how tough it was.
But the biggest reason for the low success rate so far was this: the Sky Garden was incredibly vast... and finding a fairy inside it was extremely difficult!
