"Slightly too salty... but with the soup, it’s just right."
Wang Hao enjoyed his exquisite dinner while also worrying about the so-called exam.
Since graduating from college, he hadn’t sat for any exams!
"The Ether Abyss Setting Collection" was filled with dense text, a blatant challenge to the player’s patience.
"Nowadays, do you need to take exams to play gas?"
It was unclear whether the ga developers were becoming arrogant or the players were too lazy to rise to the challenge, but barriers were being set up!
He felt frustrated.
However, there were so advantages to this thod, such as screening out a lot of impatient ranters.
For instance, the forr "Electric Girl" site required users to answer questions about the two-dinsional world to filter out more loyal users and reduce the number of troublemakers.
Of course, it’s impossible to go back to the past now. I, Uncle Shu, love money the most.
"It seems that the ga developers don’t really like money."
He glanced at the test paper—there were quite a lot of questions!
questions, all multiple-choice.
Each question was worth only one point.
[1. The Ether Abyss is a complex consciousness collective. Among the options below, the correct ones are (multiple choice): A. Humans are at the top of the Ether Abyss food chain B. The human world is located in the Light Layer C. The human world is fixed and immobile D. The human world may rotate along with the Original Core E. The parallel worlds that intersect with the human world, of which 1125 have been discovered to date, rotate like stars and occasionally connect.]
[2. The sources of human superpowers include (multiple choice): A. Resonance with the Ether Abyss (Natural School) B. Plundering strange abilities (Technology School) C. Stealing abilities from Evil Gods below the Moho Interface (Theology) D. Postnatal ntal split (Psychology School) E. Enlightennt mode from parallel worlds (Trash-picking School).]
The questions were not particularly difficult, but being multiple-choice, so options could have five to ten choices!
The answer to the first question was BCD, and E was incorrect; the correct answer should be "As of now, 1126 parallel worlds have been discovered."
Multiple-choice questions, which go against human nature, require careful analysis of each option, with no room for clever tricks, which is truly mind-blowing.
After dinner, Old Wang was sweating bullets as he buried himself in his studies.
...
...
Every person experiences joy and sorrow in their own way.
While Wang Hao was studying hard, a group of people was trapped in "Binge Eating Heaven," worrying about their survival for the next day.
Not far away, an off-road vehicle, following "Xu Zhijun," the Glutton, slowly vanished into the red mist.
Inside the vehicle sat a middle-aged man who extended one hand, waving twice in the direction they had co from...
"He’s gone... he’s gone. Ah, how could he just leave like that?" Smith stood there, demoralized, feeling a bit panicked. He touched his temple, where his already sparse hair lost a few more strands.
"I just don’t understand why he had to show off? What can he really find out there all by himself?"
Any perceptive person could tell that the lady from the Black-clothed Guard was also a rookie.
The real support, Old Zhao, had left them.
With Zhao’s departure, their temporary team had lost its backbone.
Suddenly, the sense of security they had barely established collapsed by half.
But no matter what, the other person still gradually disappeared into the red mist, never to be found again.
From now on, they would have to rely on themselves.
"Ms. Chen, you not only didn’t stop him, but you also encouraged him? You encouraged him! You gave him all those Strange Objects, even though you both are mbers of the Black-clothed Guard, isn’t that a bit strange?" Smith continued to grumble.
"Shouldn’t you have stopped him?"
Chen Xinyi rolled her eyes, thinking he didn’t know anything.
That guy was the most reliable support, who had already saved her twice!
The kind that could revive even from death.
She was holding on tight and not letting go.
So insignificant Strange Objects, what were they worth?
As a little fan of the "Ga," she contemplated what she should be doing now.
"If he is really a character controlled by the ’Ga,’ he’s likely to challenge the Blood Demon next..."
"But...that seems impossible..."
"How could it be possible? Impossible."
She didn’t understand.
Chen Xinyi replayed the day’s events in her mind.
The person hadn’t shown any special superpowers, but sohow resolved the crisis.
As for ti rewinds, the so-called "load ga" operation, she hadn’t felt it—perhaps because she wasn’t the Main Character. Even if ti rewound and the save was loaded, the mory wouldn’t be retained.
"His personality seems pretty mild, at least much better than that Smith from next door who keeps on complaining."
Chen Xinyi turned her head to look.
Both of them grew up with nine years of compulsory education... oh, across the Pacific, they have thirteen years of compulsory education, so why the huge disparity between people?
The short-term crisis was resolved, but the long-term crisis remained, and they were still trapped in this dreadful place, unable to leave.
The dense red mist still lood on the periter.
They didn’t dare let their guard down for a mont.
The situation... was very critical!
"Don’t worry, let him be."
"He might be even stronger than any Investigator you’ve co across."
Smith Smith scratched his scalp, forcing himself to perk up and squeezed out a smile, "Is that so? Could it be S-class, X-class?"
"This is a secret of the Black-clothed Guards, I can’t tell you."
Smith nodded in agreent, "He really is tough... tougher than my boss!"
"No one can do it better than him."
"He even dared to venture deep into the red mist to track down the final whereabouts of the Gluttons! I can’t describe how I’m feeling right now... He’s facing an enemy as powerful as a Demon God, and all he has in hand is nothing but junk... Well, not exactly junk, but you know what I an."
"This makes look like a coward!"
Only after saying all this did he feel a slight relief in his heart.
Chen Xinyi smiled.
He might be way more badass than your boss!
No matter who your boss actually is.
The resources he took with him were not much: enough food and water, an Immortal Bean, a Rune Blade, and a Holy Water Talisman, that’s it.
As for things like handguns and protective gear, none were brought.
Smith wondered, "Anyway, if he cos back alive, he’ll be my best friend for life. I must treat him to the legendary intestine sashimi."
"Oh God, it just hit – I don’t know if he has a wife or kids that might need special care... I completely forgot about that!"
Usually, one would make arrangents for the family of those undertaking high-risk missions.
The next mont, Smith’s expression changed slightly as he checked his phone, "The connection signal with him has been lost..."
Chen Xinyi exhaled a breath of stale air, checking her firearm, "Indeed, it’s cut off. Electromagnetic signals might get weakened by the red mist."
"But it’s nothing to worry about. It’s expected."
"Let’s go. We head back to check the supplies, manage the civilians, and then quietly wait for rescue. Even if rescue doesn’t co, we have to find ways to hold on longer."
Order, oh order, when enjoyed, always feels natural.
Yet, when chaos erupts in an instant, it always feels overwhelming.
To maintain order and prevent internal chaos is already the hardest thing to do.
This mall, even after being ravaged once by the Gluttons, still had plenty of supplies left in so sealed rooms.
That solved the imdiate food issue.
As for the water, in addition to the tap water, there was a large fountain in the plaza, the pool’s water would last for a while.
In the current environnt, as long as minimum physiological needs are t on a personal level, and with the two of them ard, they could maintain good control over the civilians.
"Ladies and gentlen, we need to stay here for a while, waiting for external rescue."
"I hope everyone will get along well. We’ll monitor the supplies together."
"If danger appears outside, we’ll defend together."
The civilians had no objections to the distribution of resources, and chatted together for a while, encouraging each other.
With soone in charge, their relations were relatively harmonious.
Compared to the initial desperation, there wasn’t much to worry about now.
After that, n slept in one compartnt and won in another room.
The generator was turned off, and they all moved to the 16th floor of a certain high-rise building, which was a decent resting environnt.
The world didn’t have day and night, the sky remained red, and from high above, one could see a few Gluttons roaming on the ground, constantly searching for food.
These were the deliberately left "Bodyguards"!
Without the intervention of an external force, these "Bodyguards" might roam for a long ti...
Chen Xinyi lay in her spot, quietly daydreaming, recalling everything that had happened today - the terrifying Gluttons, the eerie Boss Guo, the sky full of red mist, and felt a surreal emptiness in her heart.
The more she reminisced, the more a joyful sensation, like being tipsy, slowly filled her heart.
"I’m getting more twisted now. I actually found today’s events quite thrilling, quite fascinating."
Chen Xinyi also wondered whether, without that "uncle" making an appearance, they could have had such a good outco.
Most likely, not...
Maybe they would still be hiding in the bathroom waiting to die!
Although she sought thrills, she was keenly aware of her own limits and wasn’t deliberately courting death.
As for whether that uncle was actually the avatar of the "Ga," she thought long and hard but still couldn’t figure it out.
She could only conclude that it was possible.
"I’m still not strong enough. I should be able to do better, at least I should learn from that uncle," Chen Xinyi kept motivating herself, "Even without a powerful superpower, there’s still so much one can do."
Suddenly, she felt the fla in her mind flicker!!
This strange sensation left her montarily dazed, and a rustling whisper guided her through her thoughts.
She even saw so bizarre things.
"What’s... what’s going on?"
Her body felt warm, and with the whispers, it was as if a kind of spiritual power flowed into her, making her sleepy mind much more active.
A sudden realization dawned on her.
Is the God of "Ga" calling ?
She quickly concentrated, trying to enter the Ga Training Camp through this fla...
"Please, please!"
"Let in!"
