Global Composite Master: Compositing an Undead Army from the Start-Chapter 134 - 129 Maximum Extra Points! (3/5)_1
Yue Yang glanced at everyone, then said in a resonant voice, "Although I don’t know who just dispelled the time-stop, I, Yue, wish to express my gratitude."
Indeed, Yue Yang needed to thank whoever intervened.
Otherwise, he would have lost major face today.
Not just him, but the entire Academy Alliance of Wangchuan City would have been embarrassed.
Having an outstanding student murdered at the Academy Alliance Headquarters—how could they show their faces if word got out!
Whoever was capable of counteracting an SS-level time-stop must possess extraordinary abilities.
Yue Yang had no intention of finding this person.
Otherwise, that individual might attract the Aliens’ attention.
Yue Yang casually beckoned and picked up the backpack dropped by the just-killed Alien.
He discovered it contained quite a few good things.
Some of the items he saw made even him gasp.
He was certainly thoroughly prepared. If he had succeeded in killing his target, even if that target had possessed numerous countermeasures, they likely wouldn’t have survived!
Yue Yang stowed away the backpack, ordered people to clean up the scene, then began preparing for the award ceremony again.
However, the mood of the crowd had already been ruined by the preceding incident.
Everyone had been jubilant, ready to celebrate Chen Mo and Yan Yingyue breaking the record.
Now, their enthusiasm had waned. After all, what happened earlier was just too dangerous.
What if the Alien had intended to kill everyone present after initiating the time-stop?
Just thinking about it made them shudder.
If they had been the target, they couldn’t be sure they would have survived.
The Alien’s frenzied assassination attempt caused the award ceremony to be hastily concluded.
Chen Mo wasn’t too bothered; getting the reward was all that mattered.
Eleven Gold Coins! That was worth 1.1 billion alliance currency!
It was an enormous sum!
Even houses in the prime district adjacent to the Academy Alliance Headquarters had initially sold for only one billion.
However, prices had risen in recent years, nearly tripling.
After receiving his certificate and prize money, Chen Mo and Yan Yingyue prepared to return to their teacher.
But Yue Yang stopped Yan Yingyue.
"Yan Yingyue, hold on a moment."
After the attempted assassination, Yue Yang didn’t dare let Yan Yingyue return to the crowd.
If the assassins were to strike a second time, that would be like sending the lamb straight to the slaughter!
Yue Yang’s concern was very justified.
Even the now-slain Alien hadn’t known that there was still another Assassin present!
Seeing my fellow Alien get instantly killed, everyone has temporarily relaxed their guard. I’ll wait for Yan Yingyue to return to the crowd and then strike at close range to ensure success!
However, Yue Yang was unexpectedly cautious and kept Yan Yingyue on the stage.
Seeing Chen Mo return alone, the second Assassin didn’t even spare him a glance.
A mere two-star professional wasn’t worthy of the Aliens’ attention.
Even if you possessed a set of top-grade equipment!
If this top-grade equipment could display extraordinary effectiveness on you, a Skeleton Mage, it would be just as effective on any other Skeleton Mage.
As mentioned before, even if an assassination succeeded, Aliens found it very difficult to take items dropped by Earth’s professionals.
Killing would be pointless.
Why would they incur such great risk and cost to kill him?
Seeing herself stopped, Yan Yingyue couldn’t help but worry if Chen Mo would be in danger walking back alone.
She immediately looked at Yue Yang and asked worriedly, "Then, Chen Mo... he?"
"Don’t worry. Chen Mo is a two-star professional; he has no assassination value. No one would waste resources trying to assassinate him. The Aliens haven’t become so irrational as to lose their minds to that extent."
Although Yue Yang was speaking the truth, Chen Mo felt a bit strange hearing it.
How can this man be so blunt? That’s quite hurtful, you know!
Seeing Chen Mo’s resentful gaze, Yue Yang grinned, looking like a cheerful older man, and said, "I’m not belittling you, don’t misunderstand."
"It would have been better if you hadn’t added that last part."
Chen Mo laughed bitterly.
Hearing this, the surrounding people couldn’t help but laugh, and the gloomy mood created by the assassin earlier lightened considerably.
"Alright, since everyone has come out, let’s announce the final bonus point allocations for this joint examination!"
As the image on the large screen flickered, the bonus scores for all candidates who participated in the joint examination were displayed.
Compared to the initial dense list of five hundred names, the current list was noticeably shorter.
Out of five hundred people, nearly one hundred and fifty had died.
As for how they died, no one knew.
At least, so far, no one had stepped forward to make an accusation.
Everyone looked up at the large screen; Chen Mo’s and Yan Yingyue’s names were right at the top.
They had both achieved the maximum bonus of 500 points!
Universities are divided into five tiers!
With these 500 bonus points, getting into a third-tier university would be a breeze.
Even a second-tier university was well within reach, requiring just a decent exam performance.
The thresholds were: 500 points for a third-tier university, 1,000 for a second-tier, 1,500 for a first-tier, 2,000 for a key university, and 2,500 for a top-tier university!
Generally, most candidates each year scored between four hundred and nine hundred points.
A small number might reach over one thousand, and those exceeding one thousand five hundred were very rare.
Those who could reach more than two thousand points were few and far between.
These 500 bonus points were effectively like jumping a tier in university admissions.
For example, if you were originally on track for a first-tier university, you could now directly aim for the admission line of a key university.
The gap was immense.
Behind Chen Mo and Yan Yingyue, the next top one hundred individuals also received bonus points, ranging from a high of four hundred to a low of one hundred.
The rest basically didn’t get any bonus points.
Chen Mo saw that Shen Bingbing and Cai Xuqing performed well. Shen Bingbing got 200 bonus points, and Cai Xuqing got 100 bonus points.
At least, everyone in his school got bonus points, which was much better than other schools.
From the expressions of Shen Rulong and others, it could be seen that the performance of Seaside Second Middle School this time was outstanding.
The old fellow was grinning from ear to ear.
"That concludes this joint examination. The college entrance exam is in three days. Everyone should prepare diligently. The college entrance exam instance is a Level-balanced instance, similar to this joint examination’s instance, and will suppress attributes to Level 10. Therefore, your current Level is not important. When preparing, everyone should focus on equipment, Skills, and items."
After Yue Yang finished his announcement, the teachers and parents took their students and left.
Yan Yingyue was taken away by Yue Yang. She needed tight protection now.
In fact, the Aliens had already made preparations for a full-scale assassination. However, they wanted to wait a bit longer—for example, until after the college entrance exam. This way, they could more accurately verify if the data weightings they had collected on various four-star and five-star professionals were erroneous.
If the weightings were correct, they would carry out a full-scale assassination based on the current weightings!
Yan Yingyue’s early assassination attempt had been independently proposed by the previously killed Alien. His superiors had approved it, giving him a chance to try. They had also additionally activated a sleeper agent embedded within the Academy Alliance as a secondary assassination measure.
However, Yue Yang’s forceful protection made it difficult for the second assassination measure to be implemented!
After the second Assassin received confirmation from his superiors to temporarily abandon the strike, he continued to lie low.
Experiencing this assassination attempt reaffirmed Chen Mo’s conviction that his initial decision to hide his unique abilities was absolutely correct!
