Chapter 355 Extremely fast pace
Translator: Yorasu | Editor: Fireclaws
The time of the ability talent test was at 2 pm.
From 1:30 pm onwards, the viewers of the global live broadcast increased by more than ten times within half an hour. The viewers for this session were even more than the total viewer summed up from the previous three sessions. Although there was still a comprehensive assessment after that, upon the disclosure of ability talents, the final marks of the candidates were roughly similar to the final result.
Hence, this ability index segment was extremely important.
Finally, it was 2 pm.
All the candidates entered the virtual world.
Examination start!
“Hua—”
The surrounding changed.
Su Hao could feel that he was in a new place. Right before he opened his eyes, he listened the familiar system notification sound.
“Ding—”
“Ability index test start!”
“Standard question for ability talent start!”
“Detecting origin ability talent… Origin ability talent confirmed: Model Analysis… Loading data for Model Analysis… Creating profile… Level Categorizing completed!”
“Standard question, no limitation for maximum points. Points will be given according to energy capacity, power, and progress of talent.”
“Test for Model Analysis start!”
Su Hao opened up his eyes.
This was an ordinary room. Unlike the map in the previous exams, the room was filled with experimental apparatus and glasses. There was a huge mirror right in front of him.
Su Hao could see himself clearly in front of the mirror.
“Is this the exam for ability index?”
Su Hao frowned.
The process for this test was totally out of his expectation.
The room was empty with only a few devices inside. Su Hao felt that he was back in the training room.
He didn’t feel strange with that.
Without the system’s notifications, Su Hao could only figure out everything by himself. He walked towards one of the machines and put his hand on it.
“Ding—”
“Assessment of energy capacity start—”
“Shua!”
A sphere came out from the device and floated in the air. It shined in blue light with some support of mysterious power from the device.
Su Hao looked at it and understood what was going on.
He had to input his energy to the machine, while the machine would convert his energy to another form and sustain the sphere on the air. By looking at the floating level of the sphere, he could assure that the rate of conversion for this machine was…
Extremely low!
“Perhaps they intentionally designed it this way?”
Su Hao thought.
“The assessment of energy capacity started, please try to sustain the sphere in the air as long as you can, the marks will be given according to the time sustained.”
“Oh, I see!”
Su Hao finally got it.
The purpose of having such low conversion efficiency was to increase the consumption of energy and hence, increasing the exam efficiency.
However, an energy consumption test for Su Hao?
He got tons of it!
At the same time.
Everyone was doing the same thing in front of the machine by inputting their energy. Obviously, it was a test of determination!
The longer time one could sustain, the higher the marks would be!
In the screen of global live broadcast, countless spheres had attracted the sight of the crowd. They could understand the concept of the test, but wouldn’t the consumption be too low for them?
To use origin ability energy to keep an object floating?
It would definitely take a really long time!
However, it was on the global live broadcast now!
By looking at these floating sphere, it was too bored.
However, people stopped thinking like that after ten seconds passed. Countless spheres fell onto the machine and the time was recorded for the candidates. The time like ten seconds, twelve seconds were shown beside the candidates.
“What is going on?”
“What happened?”
Everyone was astonished. Such circumstances were out of expectation for them. Most of the candidates who they thought could sustain this consumption failed instantly.
“Look at the screen of the machine!”
People looked down to the machine and discovered something different.
At the down right corner of the machine, there was a screen display. 10 seconds ago, the screen displayed a one; now it displayed a ten!
It indicated that in ten seconds, the consumption of energy increased by ten times!
That was the reason, so many candidates failed.
“Oh, I see!”
Everyone was excited; this was how the exam supposed to be!
Ten seconds later, the number changed again. Various candidate failed when the display on the device changed to 100.
Was this a boring war of consumption?
No!
It was an exciting war that differed every second!
The increment of consumption changed every ten seconds. When one could sustain another second on the new increment, the marks would increase drastically! The exam which seemed to be boring at first turned out to be so exciting.
Everyone was concerned about the exam.
When the gauge changed for the third time, only 80% of the candidates remained. Obviously, the starting consumption was very low. However, as the increments increased, the rate of failure would increase exponentially.
Meanwhile, it was the time for the third change in the gauge.
Ten seconds time up.
The fourth increment
Thousand times increase in consumption!
“Dong!”
“Dong!”
Countless spheres fell.
The consumption in the 1st second of the fourth increment of the gauge was equal to ten seconds of consumption on the third change. Hence, many candidates failed instantly. Meanwhile, there were some who failed after sustaining for a few seconds.
Another 30% of the candidates failed.
