Chapter 49: The Cruelty of the Career Advancement Exam
"Damn it..."
"Someone died!"
The sudden scream startled the spectators slightly.
When they looked at the screen, they saw a candidate being torn apart by three Silver Needle Demon Apes!
"Xu Liang!"
The four teammates, seeing their companion being dismembered by the Silver Needle Demon Apes, shouted angrily with faces full of grief.
Apparently, the three Silver Needle Demon Apes took advantage of the candidate's four teammates being distracted by their companions and sneaked behind this candidate. They smashed the candidate's head with one punch and then dismembered and devoured him with the other Silver Needle Demon Apes.
The scene was extremely bloody and cruel, making many people at the scene unable to bear watching.
The remaining four candidates quickly retreated under the attack of the Silver Needle Demon Apes and had to use the "Return Scroll" to teleport out of the Xuanyuan Nation Demon-Suppressing Tower.
When the four of them were teleported out, they were already crying uncontrollably. They felt fortunate to have survived but were mostly filled with fear of the monsters.
Especially when recalling the bloody scene of their companion being dismembered, they were overwhelmed by guilt, despair, and terror, nearly breaking down emotionally.
"This is the cruelty of the career advancement exam!"
"Obviously, this team overestimated their own strength and chose the hard difficulty, leading to this tragic outcome!"
"Sigh..."
The crowd sighed with faces full of gloom.
Some teachers looked sternly at the first and second-year students, saying, "It's important to know your limits. See the outcome of this team? Next year or the year after, it will be your turn. Make sure to remember these lessons!"
The first and second-year students nodded with fear.
However, some proud students agreed on the surface but sneered inwardly.
"They died because they were too weak. If it were me, I could easily pass."
Don't doubt it.
There's an old saying, "People learn from mistakes."
Most people listen to advice.
But there will always be a few who think highly of themselves and believe they can do anything.
Only when they experience the lesson themselves will they listen to others' advice.
Otherwise, why do teachers emphasize every year during the career advancement exam to act within one's capabilities, yet some candidates still secretly choose trials beyond their strength?
The parents of the deceased candidate were already crying sadly and were taken away by the staff to be comforted.
Maybe someone wonders...
Since this is a world where reality and game are integrated, surely there are resurrection skills in some support professions.
Of course, there are.
But resurrection has a prerequisite.
Only those who are level 50 or above are eligible for resurrection.
Support professions like priests and doctors can learn resurrection skills only after reaching level 50.
"Don't know. Only Wang Chen's screen is fixed, while other candidates' screens are random."
"Wait..."
"Look! Wang Chen actually cleared the fourth level!"
The previously somber atmosphere was suddenly stirred by this exclamation!
"What?"
"In just a blink of ten seconds, Wang Chen cleared the fourth level?"
Everyone looked shocked.
Just now, they were drawn to the death scenes. But in less than half a minute?
Turning back, they only saw Wang Chen's back as he walked into the fifth level light gate with his hands in his pockets!
This...
Damn!
Why does it feel like Wang Chen's exam is different from others?
Why can he clear the levels so easily?
"Proctor! I request a playback of the footage!"
"Yes! I didn't see Wang Chen's clearance process!"
"Me neither!"
"Playback! Playback! Playback! Playback!"
Suddenly.
The anxious audience temporarily forgot their earlier sadness and became lively again.
"Silence!"
As the chief proctor, Cheng Bo knocked on the table and spoke seriously.
His voice wasn't loud, but with magic, everyone could clearly hear this mage's words.
The previously noisy crowd quieted down.
They naturally feared and respected this 120-level master.
"Are you sure you want to watch the playback? If you do, you might miss Wang Chen clearing the fifth level!"
Cheng Bo looked at the crowd.
This...
The crowd thought, maybe he's right!
"Then let's watch how Wang Chen clears the fifth level first, and watch the playback later!"
"Yes, right!"
Listening to the discussions.
The many principals on the chief platform looked helpless.
This career advancement exam had become Wang Chen's personal show!
