Chapter 9: Chapter 9: 777! YYDS!

Looking at the examinees being teleported out from the field, the teachers and students were silent. After all, other than Ren Qi, all of them had failed and had been teleported out.

Failing the assessment not only meant that they lost their rewards and a day’s worth of troops, but it also meant that their troops weren’t very strong.

The Secret Mirror could protect their lives and safety, but after the Lord’s space materialized, it would be very difficult for them to survive.

“Brother Ren’s performance just now was too showy. It made me think that the assessment this time was very simple.”

“That’s right. Other people have no way to clear the assessment like Brother Ren. They can only defeat the spider demons one by one. It’s very difficult to clear the assessment if their soldiers are weak.”

To most of the examinees, although the spider demons were only at Tier 2, they were still adults. Many examinees could only take a roundabout route if they wanted to pass the assessment. If they were not careful, they would fail.

Only examinees who had awakened the high-tier recruitment pools had the capital to push their way through, but it was also very difficult.

There were very few examinees like Ren Qi who used the succubus’ charm to pass the test skillfully.

“It was too difficult. I couldn’t hold on during the second stage. I stayed for a long time, but I still failed in the end.”

“Yeah, the one I awakened was the blue lion soldier. Although it was a Tier 4 soldier, it was only level 1, after all. Even if I carefully reached the fourth stage, I would still fail.”

“Sob sob sob, don’t talk anymore. What about my f*cking Tier-1 slime?” After standing at the entrance of the first stage for half an hour, he had thought of all kinds of ideas. In the end, he was instantly killed the moment he entered with the two slime. “If I had known earlier, I would have directly admitted defeat! My poor slimes. They died so miserably!”

“Bengbu is stuck, but there’s no other way. Clearing the fourth stage can already be considered decent, and there’s also a reward. Moreover, you have a Tier-4 soldier. The pressure on survival after the Lord’s space materializes isn’t that great.”

“Those of us who failed at the first or second stage can only transform into a support-type lord. We can rely on working for other lords in exchange for protection.”

Most of the examinees who failed were very disappointed, but they hadn’t reached the point of despair.

After all, after transforming into a support-type Lord, they could still barely survive. Although they could forget about achieving much, it was already good enough to be able to survive.

Of course, not all support-type lords were useless.

There were also some lords who had awakened medicine masters or forgers. They were suited to becoming support-type lords. By constantly upgrading their troops, they could create higher and higher level medicines or forge higher level defensive weapons. They also had very high statuses.

Some of the stronger lords could even be hired by them to protect them.

“All roads lead to Rome. As long as we work hard, we might be able to stand out.”

“We’re all classmates. If the Lord’s Space materializes to a nearby place, we have to take care of each other.”

Some of the students had already gathered their emotions and started to prepare for the Lord’s Space materializing in a month’s time.

Just as they were discussing amongst themselves, they suddenly heard the words of their junior brothers and sisters behind them, such as ‘Godly’, ‘Maybe he’s the top scorer’, ‘He can even clear the Nightmare level so quickly’, ‘I want to have a child with senior Ren Qi’, and so on.

They were all stunned.

What was going on? Someone had passed the assessment? And it was on Nightmare level difficulty?

Ren Qi?

As the top scorer in the entire school for the mock exam, the examinees naturally knew about Ren Qi.

However, the news of Ren Qi awakening the succubus unit had already spread among the examinees yesterday. How could he possibly clear the level? Moreover, it was on Nightmare difficulty!

“I… Did I hear wrongly? A Tier 3 succubus shouldn’t have a chance to clear it, right?”

“That’s right. My Tier-4 blue lion only reached the fourth stage, and that was only at the Normal difficulty. Ren Qi isn’t stupid. How could he rely on a Tier-3 succubus to challenge the Nightmare level?”

“Wait, who are you looking at? Is that the shadow stone in his hand?”

A voice sounded. The few of them looked at Ren Qi, who was not far ahead. Looking at the shadow stone in his hand, their expressions froze.

“It’s… It’s really the shadow stone. Ren Qi really passed!”

The doctor quickly rushed over to treat the injured examinee.

Overwhelming applause and cheers came from behind and swept across the entire field.

“Brother Ren! Awesome! Godly!”

“777! YYDS[1]!”

“Ah, I want to have a child with you. God Ren[2], come to my house tonight. There’s no one at my house!”

At this moment, Ren Qi was still in a daze. Elise and Risa had already returned to the Lord’s Space. Holding the shadow stone in his hand, Ren Qi was the first to feel the pain all over his body.

Following that, he saw Principal Zhao, who had always been known for his steadiness, trot over from the rostrum to stand in front of him. With an excited expression, he held his right hand.

Then, Ren Qi heard Principal Zhao, who was so excited that his face was flushed red, blurt out two words.

“Brilliant![3]”

Then, Principal Zhao called Li Dongyang over and praised him.

Then, his gaze fell on Ren Qi, and Principal Zhao was even more enthusiastic.

“Student Ren Qi, the assessment has ended. You have passed the Nightmare level assessment. It took you half an hour. The assessment score will be announced within three days. Your results are definitely not bad. Go home and recuperate.”

“Oh, right. In view of your outstanding performance in the assessment, I represent the school to reward you with 50 kilograms of Tier 1 demonic meat. After your ranking is out, there will be even more rewards.”

Hearing Principal Zhao’s words, Ren Qi’s eyes lit up.

50 kilograms of Tier 1 demonic meat should be enough for Elise and Risa to rise up by a few levels.

“This shadow stone…” Ren Qi said as he looked at the shadow stone in his hand.

The shadow stone was a good item. It could help improve a dark-attributed soldier’s level and potential, and it could even help them comprehend skills.

“Since you’ve passed the assessment, the Shadow Stone is yours,” The chief examiner said from the side.

He had been sent by the higher-ups, and he was overseeing the Secret Mirror assessment.

Ren Qi glanced at the chief examiner with a face full of envy.

Someone who could act as the chief examiner was at least a Tier 7 lord. This was an existence that could dominate a region.

They were probably the only ones who could afford to give away such a precious item like the shadow stone.

With the Secret Mirror’s protection and the doctor’s special medicine, Ren Qi was basically fine. He just needed to lie down for a day or two.

Since there was no need to be hospitalized, Ren Qi directly returned home to lie down.

After clearing the Nightmare difficulty in half an hour, Ren Qi felt that he should be able to compete for the top spot in Jiangnan.

As for the top scorer, Ren Qi did not think too much about it. After all, there were so many examinees in the country, and there were many who had awakened high-level troops. There might even be many who had the same means of control.

Others might be able to think of ways that he could think of.

Moreover, the rewards for the top spot in Jiangnan were already rich enough. At the very least, it was enough for his succubus to raise her level by quite a bit.

Only when the Lord’s Space materialized and the troops’ levels increased rapidly would they be able to survive better.

Ren Qi prepared to rest for a while. From tomorrow onwards, he would use the 50 kilograms of Tier 1 demonic meat to increase Elise and Risa’s levels.

Just as he was in a deep sleep, Ren Qi suddenly felt someone beside him.

Opening his eyes slightly, Ren Qi saw a golden-haired, blue-eyed beauty with a fiery figure looking at him with a distressed expression.

The lady was currently bending over to check on Ren Qi’s injuries. The fiery aura that could not be stopped by her clothes rubbed against Ren Qi’s nose, causing him to feel slightly itchy.

[1]777 – “666 but better,” 777 is a play on the numeronym ‘666’ that gamers put in the chat after seeing another show an even more impressive skill.

YYDS: YYDS is the acronym of YONG YUAN DE SHEN in Chinese Pinyin. These four letters are from LOL e-sports, but now they are often used by fans to appreciate their idols.
