Hua Nan Base, District A, Adventurers' Guild Headquarters.
As time passed, the South China Martial University entrance examination officially began.
The cordon around the Adventurers' Guild was set up, and from now until the end of the exam, no one was allowed to enter or exit.
As the candidates entered, everyone arrived in a huge exhibition hall. In the middle of the hall was a podium, behind which were a hundred machines that no one had ever seen before, and next to each machine was an examiner.
If there was anything out of place, it was only a young man not far from the podium, as he was currently lying on a recliner, sleeping soundly.
Upon seeing the candidates enter, an examiner carefully ran to the young man's side to wake him up.
“Uh, let's begin.”
The young man, disheveled, bleary-eyed, and yawning, walked onto the podium with a reluctant expression.
Originally expecting a long speech, he instead glanced at the crowd below and spoke sparingly.
“Instructor Chen, you need to tell them about the exam content and score breakdown.”
Seeing this, the examiner beside the podium, with black lines on his forehead, whispered a reminder.
Why did South China Martial University send this instructor to preside over the exam this year?
“Ah? That's too troublesome.”
Chen Yifei looked troubled, as if the simple task of presiding over the exam was taking his life, and he refused without thinking.
“Instructor Chen, your teacher has spoken. If you don't work hard, you'll have a hard time when you go back.”
Seeing Chen Yifei unmoved, the examiner reluctantly pulled out his trump card.
Upon hearing the words “your teacher,” Chen Yifei's body involuntarily trembled, and then he slowly began to speak.
“Uh, I'll give a brief introduction. This exam is divided into two parts: one, Disaster Beasts confrontation; two, Level. The former accounts for 90% of the score, and the latter accounts for 10%.”
As soon as these words were spoken, many candidates were in an uproar, because this year's exam content had many changes compared to previous years.
Previous exams were primarily based on Level, with Talent as a supplementary part of the exam content.
Therefore, many E-rank and even F-rank candidates, by spending a large amount of money to hire people to level up, were able to luckily join South China Martial University.
But it was unknown why such a big change was made this year, even Talent was no longer part of the exam content.
“In a moment, each campus will enter the virtual training machines in batches, starting the Disaster Beasts confrontation. One minute of persistence is passing, and three minutes is a perfect score.”
Chen Yifei pointed to the hundred neatly arranged machines behind him and continued.
“For Level, one point per level, 10 points for max level.”
After speaking, Chen Yifei glanced at the examiner next to him, and after seeing him nod, he continued.
“The exam begins.”
After dropping this sentence, he returned to his bleary-eyed state, walked to a recliner nearby, and immediately fell asleep.
The other staff members took over the remaining work and began to call out names in succession.
“Mai Xiaowen.”
“Uluulu.”
...
Soon, a hundred candidates were called out by name in succession and then entered the virtual training machines behind them.
The results of the first batch of candidates were faster than expected.
Only a few seconds after they entered virtual reality, some training machines glowed red, and they were ejected.
“What the hell, they made us fight E-rank Disaster Beasts!”
“I didn't even see clearly before I died!”
“Unfair, I wasn't mentally prepared. Who knew we had to fight E-rank Disaster Beasts?”
...
The failed candidates were full of anger, shouting indignantly.
“Unfair? If you encounter Disaster Beasts far beyond your strength in the Disaster Area in the future, you can try telling them it's unfair and ask them to let you off?”
The leading examiner coldly glanced at the eliminated candidates and said.
Fair? The exam itself has an element of luck, so what's there to say about it?
The scolded candidates were immediately speechless and could only dejectedly return to the queue. The others, seeing them return, quickly went up to ask for details.
The examiners did not stop them; even with more information, it would be very difficult to pass this stage without sufficient strength.
Afterward, people continued to fail and withdraw, but everyone looked indignant.
One minute passed quickly, and there were only three people still persisting on the field.
Soon, they also failed and withdrew, with their scores tallied by the examiners nearby.
And after these three returned, they were also envied by their companions.
The exam was still ongoing, with groups of people going up to take the test.
Soon it was Chu Yanyan and Su Yanran's turn.
“Good luck.”
Cheng Xing patted Chu Yanyan's little head, encouraging her.
【Name: Chu Yanyan】
【Level: 11 (300/20000)】
【Health: 350】
【Attributes: Strength 11, Agility 11, Constitution 11, Spirit 68, Free Attribute Points 0】
【Talent: A-rank Magic Mastery Effect: Magic effects increased by 50%】
【Skills: B-rank Thunderbolt, B-rank Mage Shield, C-rank Levitation, C-rank Great Fireball】
Recalling the luxurious panel Chu Yanyan had shown him before, Cheng Xing knew that this exam would be no challenge for Chu Yanyan.
If someone could act as a tank and draw the aggro of the Disaster Beasts, Chu Yanyan could deal with several E-rank Disaster Beasts at once.
If she was alone, she would probably need to be careful, but solving it within three minutes would still be a bit difficult.
After all, the exam did not allow equipment, so many attributes were missing.
As expected, Chu Yanyan successfully achieved a perfect score and happily shared it with Cheng Xing.
“Next batch, Cheng Xing.”
“Cheng Yun.”
...
Soon, the next batch began to be called, but coincidentally, Cheng Xing and Cheng Yun were in the same batch.
Cheng Yun's face was full of disdain upon hearing this.
“Heaven helps me.”
Thinking of this, Cheng Yun provocatively looked at Cheng Xing.
However, when he saw Cheng Xing only focused on chatting with Chu Yanyan, ignoring his gaze, his face immediately darkened.
“So what if he's a bit handsome? Just wait, I'll step on you later!”
“Let's see what face you'll have to be a pretty boy then.”
Soon, Cheng Xing was in position. His and Cheng Yun's machines were very close. Seeing the provocative gaze cast his way again, Cheng Xing continued to ignore it.
Cheng Yun gnashed his teeth in anger.
“Name, ID card.”
“Cheng Xing.”
Cheng Xing handed his ID card to the examiner for verification.
After verification, the examiner placed a helmet on his head.
“Begin the exam.”
With the examiner's command, the machine started.
Cheng Xing felt his surroundings change, and in a blink of an eye, he appeared in a city ruin.
The smell in the air was exactly the same as in the Disaster Area, with extremely high realism.
Cheng Xing pinched his arm and found that the pain was not the same as in reality.
But then again, most of those candidates were killed by Disaster Beasts. If the pain was also the same, they wouldn't have the strength to shout after failing.
“Please choose your weapon.”
Soon, an interface appeared before Cheng Xing, with various weapons displayed on it.
“Embroidery Spring Blade.”
Cheng Xing decisively chose the weapon most similar to blood mantis fang, and then a basic F-rank Embroidery Spring Blade appeared in his hand.
At the same time, a figure had quietly appeared in front of him.
“Yo, a regular customer, huh.”
Looking at the familiar Blood Mantis in front of him, Cheng Xing couldn't help but grin. It seemed his luck was pretty good...
