Chapter 89: 089 Advance again to the simulation field_1

“…I have some unfortunate news to share with everyone. The situation on the Alien Battlefield this year is very bad. Alpha, Beta, and Gamma groups from Qiyuan Star have all been annihilated, and Delta group is still holding on, but the outcome is unknown. I think you all understand what this means.”

That’s right, it means that the allocation of resources will become even tighter.

If we can’t ensure victory for three groups next year, it means many people on Qiyuan Star will die.

The school has just received a notice from above that an emergency testing system will be implemented in three days. This may be cruel for you, but it is also fortunate.

Because this could be the biggest opportunity of your life—if you manage to stand out in the testing system and survive on the Alien Battlefield, you could become a hero who saves Qiyuan Star like Hua Guyun, immortalized in history.

The moment that will determine your fates has truly arrived…”

…

During the school assembly.

The principal announced the start of the testing system with a grave expression.

However, the students below didn’t care about the tragedy of the world, and when they heard about the start of the testing system, they erupted in an uproar.

…

“Damn, is it true? We can still catch the testing system?”

“If we can get a good ranking in the testing system, isn’t there still hope to enter the power core?”

“Dream on, you haven’t even made it to the top four hundred in your best result. Even if the testing system goes on for ten years, it won’t be your turn.”

“Who says? My previous ranking was bad because I didn’t encounter the right keywords. Give me a good keyword and I can skyrocket in minutes…”

“I’m not thinking about fighting for ranking. I just want to enjoy a few more years in the simulation. I thought I’d have to wait another half a year, but now I can get in right away. It’s an unexpected joy.”

“If we could really get through the testing system, that would be great. I heard that when you’re on the reserve list, the state provides you with the best life—anything you want, all the beauties you want to sleep with. Even if I’m a reserve for three years and die on the Alien Battlefield, this life would have been worth it.”

“After the testing system, the simulation will be closed for at least two to three years. That’s when the truly hard days start. Why is the performance on the Alien Battlefield so dismal?”

“Be content. Being at school during the testing system is better than being outside. Outside, people really starve to death…”

“Do you think Duge has a chance to get through the testing system?”

“No way, he’s just someone who got lucky. If he dares to flip the table again, who knows how many people will target him?”

“Just wait and see. After this round of simulation testing, he’ll have to slink out of his single dorm, that dog. Then we’ll deal with him…”

“What do you think the background for the next simulation will be?”

“It should not be too difficult for freshmen. I’d prefer an urban setting, considering the law is well-established, there’s less danger, and plenty of good food.”

“Modern society has guns, and I can’t stand it if there’s even a splash of supernatural elements. Ancient settings are better…”

…

In the office.

Teacher Hu called Duge in for a talk, “Duge, I know the pressure has been great for you recently. The teachers don’t approve of your way of clearing levels, and the students ostracize you, but one must endure these things in order to grow.”

I wish they would ostracize me more!

Duge retorted silently, but humbly accepted the teacher’s advice, “Yes, Teacher Hu, I understand all of that. I will prove it to them—getting first place once means I can do it a second time.”

“Good, I’m glad you have that confidence,” Teacher Hu smiled at Duge, “but when you enter the simulation again, you must change your approach. The teachers are actually right; flipping the table once is enough. If you keep doing that, you’ll be the one to suffer.

“Duge, you have a strong ability to adapt to situations and such high spiritual power, you’re ahead from the start. Just be a bit more cautious and low-key, and getting back to first place shouldn’t be a problem. I know you took advantage from flipping the table last time, but this time, you really must listen to the teacher. Our No. 42 Middle School can only hope for you to get through the testing system. Don’t let impulsiveness ruin you…”

In front of the teacher, Duge always maintained the image of a good child, “Don’t worry, Teacher Hu, I will adapt as needed. Just wait for my good news. No. 42 Middle School will be proud of me.”

Teacher Hu looked at Duge, and a trace of worry flashed through her eyebrows, but she still smiled and nodded, “Alright, I’ll wait for your good news. But remember, be cautious, cautious, and then cautious again. Even if not for No. 42 Middle School, for yourself, don’t be reckless like before. The principal has already said that once you fall out of the top ten, the school will withdraw all benefits it has given you.”

Using benefits as a threat, huh?

That’s really petty!

Duge complained inwardly, “Understood, Teacher Hu. If there’s nothing else, I’ll go back and prepare. Feng Zhong gave me a Spirit Strength Technique, and I should practice every minute I can…”

…

Returning to his dorm, Duge made phone calls to touch base with Yin Erchuan, Zhu Shijie, and others, before he settled down to prepare for the upcoming simulation.

In the apocalypse, once reduced to a commoner, one’s life was no longer their own, at the mercy of the government’s abandonment at any moment to die silently in chaos or starvation. In this slave-like world, even finding a secluded place to hide away and farm was impossible.

Therefore, he could only succeed, not fail.

…

Three days swiftly passed.

With everyone’s anticipation, the assessment began again, and all the examinees entered the simulation field, leaving the school eerily quiet.

Duge once again soaked in the assessment pod’s nutrient solution.

The hatch slowly closed, and a familiar mechanical voice sounded, “Please remain calm inside the simulation field, relax, slow your breathing, do not stand up, and avoid unnecessary movements. Any excess movement that interferes with the operation of the assessment pod will be considered a voluntary forfeiture of the assessment. The simulation assessment will officially begin in one minute. We wish everyone the best of success in the simulation field… five, four, three, two, one.”

The mechanical voice, accompanied by music that seemed to carry a hypnotic effect, gradually emptied Duge’s mind. Besides the countdown and his heartbeat, he couldn’t hear anything else.

At this moment, his mood was unprecedentedly calm.

As the countdown concluded.

A sudden wave of dizziness washed over him.

And then.

The dizziness turned into a feeling of weightlessness.

The scene suddenly changed.

Duge entered the world inside the simulator.

At this moment, his body had an eighty percent transparency, wrapped in a clear bubble.

The bubble floated in the air, drifting back and forth gently.

This was a sensation he had never experienced before, like being in a zero-gravity space capsule, or an out-of-body experience.

This was Duge’s first complete entry into the simulation field. He looked around curiously. Many transparent enclosures like his scattered around, each containing a participant in this simulation.

From the outside, each person appeared as a gentle humanoid glow, with no trace of their original appearance. Identifying anyone by their looks to track and take revenge was impossible.

Through the bubble, Duge could see mountains, forests, rivers, and the sparse scattering of towns below…

“Modern? Catastrophe? Ruins? Apocalypse?”

Observing the cars abandoned on the roadside, collapsed buildings, and streets devoid of any human presence.

Duge immediately deduced the world’s backdrop, then inwardly cursed his luck; in the real world, he had finally carved out a comfortable niche for himself, yet he was thrust back into an apocalyptic scenario inside the simulation.

This truly fucking sucks!

…

The floating bubble served as a transitional phase before integrating into the world, protecting the examinees’ Soul Bodies. It would stay in the air for five minutes, drifting randomly, allowing the examinees to survey the world below and choose their possession targets.

Afterward, the server would release the protection, allowing examinees to merge with the world and select their targets for possession.

Five minutes later, the protective shell would disappear.

At that moment.

The scorching sunlight, magnetic fields, and strong winds would all cause burns to the Soul Body.

The Soul Body would weaken rapidly.

If a suitable possession target wasn’t found before dispersing, one would be kicked out of the simulation field, ending this assessment.

The higher one’s spiritual power, the longer their Soul Body would last.
