The small flower blooming on Luo Keke's hand was actually a strange item with a buff effect.
A strange item, as the name suggests, is a product of an anomaly.
Such items only appear in anomalies, and their effects are completely unknown, some good, some bad.
Of course, in front of Luo Keke, who possessed the System, she could know the effects of these items at a glance.
Typically, such items would be given as rewards to those who experienced an anomaly.
Therefore, from a certain perspective, an anomaly is not just a disaster, but also an opportunity.
Luo Keke's weapon from her previous life, Azure Fire, was obtained during an anomaly... The proof of the underworld increased Luo Keke's Physique by 1 point.
Although her Physique was still very weak, Luo Keke was already very satisfied to feel the increase in her strength.
"Passing the first question gives such a good reward. Is this Netherworld too generous?"
Luo Keke looked at the other people in the examination room.
At this time, most of the candidates in the examination room had already completed the first question's test.
Using paper cutters, they easily extracted their blood and offered it to the test paper.
However, Luo Keke noticed that those she had prompted did not have red spider lilies appear on the backs of their hands after completing the exam, nor did their wounds heal.
"It seems this thing only rewards the first person to complete the test."
Luo Keke breathed a slight sigh of relief.
If everyone got one, she would be worried instead.
It wasn't that she was narrow-minded; Luo Keke never cared about such things.
It was just that if everyone's reward was so good, it meant that the anomaly was brewing something big.
Effort and reward are relative.
Perhaps the next question would involve slaying demons and Dragons or something similar.
At that point, there would only be one word: doomed... Half an hour quickly passed.
As the countdown reached zero, the paper cutters on the candidates' desks also turned into ashes and dissipated into the air.
Thanks to Luo Keke's reminder, not a single student died in this first examination.
Except for the unlucky Mai Lin teacher.
The candidates briefly bandaged the wounds on their hands and sat in place, awaiting the announcement of the next question.
"Student Luo Keke, thank you."
Jiu Yuan, the tall boy wearing eyeglasses, waved at Luo Keke.
"Thank me for what? Save your own life first, then think about thanking me."
Luo Keke lowered her head, playing with her fair, pink fingers.
She had thought Jiu Yuan was a big shot.
But after the first question, she lost confidence in Jiu Yuan.
This Eyeglasses Man was probably just an amateur, having never experienced an anomaly.
"Sigh, I still have to rely on myself," Luo Keke sighed inwardly, knowing she couldn't slack off... After a brief silence, the examination room's broadcast emitted another "buzzing" sound.
Then, the familiar voice emerged from the broadcast.
"Congratulations, everyone, you have completed the first question's test."
"Currently 30 survivors... This truly exceeds my expectations; the quality of this batch of students is quite good."
"Next up is the second question."
"The difficulty of the second question will be much higher than the first."
"Friendly reminder, red items can help you overcome danger in the second question."
After saying a few irrelevant words, the broadcast fell silent again.
"It said nothing useful."
Luo Keke silently complained.
Except for the last sentence, which mentioned that "red items" might be useful, everything else was nonsense.
Just then, Luo Keke suddenly felt her feet slip and almost fell.
"What's going on?"
Luo Keke stared blankly as her body slowly tilted.
No, the entire examination classroom was flipping over!
A moment later, the entire classroom was completely inverted.
The wooden floor became the new ceiling, and what was originally the glass ceiling became the floor beneath everyone's feet.
Luo Keke leaned against the wall, slowly sliding to the ground, and was not injured.
However, the other candidates were not as lucky as the loli.
They fell heavily to the ground; although not injured, they took a hard fall.
For a moment, screams and groans filled the small classroom.
However, the disaster was not yet completely over.
Or rather, it had just begun.
Soon, the chairs fixed to the ceiling began to fall one after another due to gravity.
Surprisingly, these desks and chairs crashed heavily to the ground but made no sound.
They slowly sank into the glass floor as if they had fallen into water, disappearing without a trace.
Only a few red desks and chairs were left on the floor.
Then, the solid wood podium on the ceiling, after emitting "creaking" sounds, slowly transformed into a humanoid statue.
The statue had two goat horns on its head, and combined with its fiery red body, it looked exactly like a "demon" from Western mythology.
Its face had only a single, rhomboid eye, shimmering with an eerie red light.
A moment later, this demon statue turned its back to everyone, then picked up a white piece of chalk and wrote a "1" on the blackboard.
"What is this doing? It's not going to teach us math, is it?"
"Keke, why are you always so obsessed with math?"
An Keke's voice appeared in the loli's ear.
"Am I supposed to tell you that I've never passed math since elementary school?"
Luo Keke pursed her small lips, too lazy to answer An Keke's question... After the demon statue finished writing "1," it stopped moving.
Then, A4 papers appeared out of thin air and fell into everyone's hands.
Luo Keke gently caught an A4 paper and casually glanced at it twice.
【Congratulations, you have completed the first test, which means you are one step closer to formal admission】
【The following is the question for the second test】
【Please use any means to destroy the demon statue within 5 minutes】
【The following are important notes, please remember them】
【1. The statue will intermittently turn around; please be careful to hide, otherwise, you will bear the consequences】
【2. If directly looked at by the statue, please stand still, otherwise, you will bear the consequences】
【3. If the statue has not been destroyed when the countdown ends, all candidates will be considered eliminated】
【The examination will begin in one minute, please prepare】
...Luo Keke froze for a second, then she lifted her long skirt and ran behind a red table.
She had figured out what the situation was with this second question.
These dense rules seemed quite complex, but they could be summarized in one sentence.
One, two, three, Red Light, Green Light.
This was the essence of the second question.
This game is quite simple to play.
First, one person acts as the catcher (demon statue), facing a wall. The others act as the 'wooden people' (candidates), and the two sides start the game from a long distance.
Whenever the catcher finishes saying "One, two, three, Red Light, Green Light," he can turn around and look at everyone. If anyone moves at this time, they will be eliminated.
The goal of the 'wooden people' is to touch the catcher's back; once touched, they win the game.
Luo Keke often played this game when she was a child, but due to malnutrition and a weak Physique, she always lost.
But regardless of winning or losing, Luo Keke still felt very happy when she recalled her childhood days.
And later, after Luo Keke became an Adventurer, she never returned to her hometown.
"Things have changed, but people remain..."
But the longing only lasted for a second, and Luo Keke put away this emotion; the loli knew it was not the time for her to be sentimental.
The one-minute preparation time quickly passed.
Accompanied by the scratching sound of chalk on the blackboard, the second question of the Netherworld University entrance examination officially began.
