Run Away, This Civilization Is Cheating!-Chapter 239 - 235: Danger Never Far Away
Chapter 239: Chapter 235: Danger Never Far Away
“Not bad…” An Yan wanted to say something else, but in the next moment, a red emergency mission suddenly popped up on every student’s personal terminal!
“Please bring your personal equipment and proceed immediately to the E-34 spaceport, arriving within twenty-five minutes.”
So fast!
Everyone felt the difference in this college entrance examination; it took only four to five minutes from the time their Teacher An received the information until the mission was assigned to each candidate.
Moreover, the task information did not display any special marks associated with “examination.”
This meant that the tasks were genuine “Trial Level” tasks!
Under such level tasks, no one has any room to refuse; to refuse, one must submit an application and receive approval, and even a direct prayer-like request to the President cannot bypass the mission!
That would result in extremely severe punishment, even death!
In front of the Civilization Trial, the interests of civilization outweigh everything!
This has been written into the current highest constitution of the world!
“Twenty-five minutes, we need to speed up, sit tight!” An Yan also received the same mission, which was to escort students into the trial.
His task was marked with the conscription mark of Great Yan.
This meant that he had been seconded to Human Civilization and would adhere to all tasks assigned under Human Civilization.
One must say, if not for knowing this was a high-stakes exam, some might not help but suspect whether the trials had started early.
But regardless, the atmosphere had been achieved.
No one spoke anymore in the vehicle; everyone was checking their equipment, especially items like elixirs.
To emphasize realism, the examination allowed the use of some personal equipment and resources, but they were subject to level and quality restrictions.
If one didn’t own such equipment, one could also apply for issuance, which although not as high-level as restricted equipments, was still quite good.
Obviously, it could only ensure relative fairness, not absolute fairness, which is actually the current state of the Transcendent education system.
The Extraordinary Path is ultimately equivalent to resources; children from families with better backgrounds or with powerful parents and relatives always have an advantage.
Even the presence of Shen Hao could not entirely avoid this circumstance.
After checking, everyone closed their eyes to adjust their status; twenty minutes quickly passed by.
Meanwhile, the situation of this session of the college entrance examination was officially made public.
Not only the highest level of the exam was combat, but even other levels were also real combat, and for this, the high-level even secretly bred tens of millions of beasts of different Extraordinary Levels, mostly from markets, including all kinds of types!
Suddenly, the entire society was somewhat shaken.
“It’s actually a real combat assessment, weren’t the previous years just battles or guided battles?”
“What if a student dies?”
“Did you not see the announcement? There are death slots in this assessment!”
“Isn’t it too dangerous, dying during an exam is a huge loss!”
“Isn’t the person above taking the Civilization Trial too lightly, which session has there been without casualties?”
“Exactly, and a new trial is starting in two years.”
“Don’t think after a few peaceful years that days have returned to normal, in the era of trial, death has never been far away!”
“…”
Netizens discussed fervently, indeed some expressed opposition, mostly students’ parents, but most people were clearly feeling the intense atmosphere.
True, in two years, a new trial will begin.
Just as some said, death has never been far away!
Even the extinction crisis of the entire civilization has always existed.
These children grew up in a peaceful environment, but what they are about to face is a new, brutal trial!
This college entrance examination is precisely to make them along with the entire civilized society recognize that the trial is closing in!
However, it wasn’t just about instilling a sense of oppression; soon various live broadcast cameras appeared, and everyone could follow the candidates they wanted to watch.
Suddenly, the entire society was stirred up.
Countless people swarmed into the live broadcast rooms.
Simultaneously, it was clearly indicated in front of the candidates, even down to how many people were watching them was clearly visible.
Even the most unknown candidates knew at least that their parents must be watching them!
This gave many candidates an indescribable feeling.
If their parents witnessed their deaths…
Some candidates even turned pale as they fully felt the weight they had never sensed in countless teachings before.
Even for genius candidates like Cui Yuting and Cui Yujie, their complexions weren’t looking good.
After all, they had originally thought about making a strong impression during the exam, showcasing their flair, competing for one of the three hundred spots among the President’s Disciples!
But knowing that their parents were watching them seemed to heighten their awareness of their own lives’ significance.
This would definitely be an unforgettable memory for every candidate and even their parents and family!
Regardless, all candidates had now boarded the space shuttle and received their next tasks.
“Objective: Wing Sky Mother Planet H-34 Sky Island, Mission: Lead the small squad to eliminate all the beasts in the base and hold the base.” Cui Yuting looked at her mission information and then at the younger brother beside her, her mood became even heavier.
Although she and her brother were both from Wing Sky Mother Planet, their mission locations were different.
This meant that they had to be assessed separately.
“I need to meet up with my squad members as soon as possible.” Cui Yujie’s face didn’t look good either, but he still took a deep breath, “Sis, I’ll wait for you at Lingxiao Palace!”
“Waiting for you is more like it!” Cui Yuting glanced at her brother and, at the last moment, suddenly stuffed a packet of medicine into his pocket.
“Sis, I don’t want it!” Cui Yujie’s expression changed.
It contained the auxiliary elixirs their parents had bought for this college entrance exam.
“Take it, have you forgotten my Talent?” Cui Yuting said sternly, “In front of so many spectators, don’t be so emotional!”
“…” Cui Yujie still accepted it.
“If you really feel like you’re going to die, don’t forget to pray to the President, even being a Heroic Spirit is better than dying cleanly.” Cui Yuting added.
“…” This time, Cui Yujie really darkened his face – couldn’t she say something positive?
Although being a Heroic Spirit was much better than death, it was not an outcome one could easily accept.
It was only in dire circumstances that one could simply awaken.
And there was no potential for further growth.
If one could avoid death, no one would wish to become a Heroic Spirit.
“The same goes for you.” Cui Yujie finally spoke, then turned to find his teammates.
Cui Yuting did the same.
At this moment on the spaceship, all the candidates were actively moving, quickly getting familiar with their assigned teammates or team leaders.
For them, this was genuinely stepping onto the battlefield!
The entire civilization, focusing on each genius, could increasingly feel the tense atmosphere.
Especially the parents of the candidates.
Cui Zhongmin was currently sitting with his wife, watching their children with utmost nervousness.
The tense feeling was indescribable when he saw his son and daughter were not in the same location, and while seeing his daughter give the elixir to his son, it brought relief but also concern.
Cui Zhongmin comforted his teary-eyed wife, “Yuting has a Blue Talent ‘Frenzy Body’; such explosive strength elixirs really aren’t that useful to her, don’t worry, Yu Jie and Yu Ting both have Level 13 strength, even if they don’t rank in the top three hundred, there won’t be a danger to their lives.”
“I’m not worried about this exam, just…” his wife You Jingyun choked up a bit, “thinking about after the Trial begins… they’re so outstanding, they’re bound to fight on the front lines.”
“Is the rear really that safe?” asked Cui Zhongmin clenching his fists tightly, “In front of the Civilization Trial, where is there true safety? No one knows what the next Trial or the one after that will be like; only by becoming stronger, continually stronger, can they have a better chance to survive; they’re so outstanding, we should be proud of them.”
“Right!” You Jingyun wiped her eyes, embraced her husband, and intently watched the images of their children, “We should be proud indeed!”
No one wants to see their children in danger.
But in the era of Trials, danger is never far away.
Even the weakest, most worried parents are forced to learn to be strong.
Their children being as exceptional as Cui Yujie and Cui Yuting, they already are the envy of countless parents.
The stronger they are, the more likely they are to keep winning!
However, the spectators who weren’t the parents or family had different feelings at this moment.
They felt more excited, anticipatory, and even thrilled.
“The assessment is still arranged according to strength.”
“These twins were actually separated.”
“It might be to test their individual strengths.”
“Huo Ying truly deserves to be the disciple of the Shura Goddess, so capable! She seems completely fearless.”
“The guy upstairs doesn’t know, but Huo Ying’s parents and relatives all perished in the first Trial; she survived because she was at a boarding school.”
“Right, her swordsmanship Talent is astonishing. She is always one step away from becoming a Chosen One; why else would the Shura Goddess take her as a disciple?”
“Zhao Miao doesn’t seem to cut it, keeping a cold face, doesn’t even know how to communicate with his teammates.”
“Exactly, it’s a team cooperation task; even if he’s cold, at least get the tasks distributed.”
“I used to think he was handsome, now not so much.”
“…”
Candidates who already had some fame now gathered even more attention.
Those who performed well undoubtedly gained a lot of fans.
Those who performed poorly also received quite a bit of criticism.
There were even many specially-invited experts giving professional critiques.
This was actually another purpose of broadcasting the exam live—to give everyone a basic understanding of an actual battlefield.
In the event of a crisis, even those in the rear would have to go to the battlefield.
At least, in this era, no one could be unfamiliar with the battlefield.
