Chapter 374 The end of theoretical and beginning of comprehensive
Translator: Yorasu | Editor: Fireclaws
The first batch of the new college entrance exam ended.
Why would this batch be so competitive? Was it for the cut off point of admission?
What was the aim of everyone?
Ranking!
Reward!
By now, the exam had ended. However, the exam center seemed to have forgotten about all of this. How could it be? They should have at least mentioned whether the final evaluation was still being carried on.
On the screen, it currently showed the announcement that the exam had ended.
At this moment.
The screen shined.
A list of new messages popped out.
——————————
Name: Global War
Description: Global War would make the final adjustment on the ranking of candidates in the first batch of the new system based on the existing ranking. It would be ranked according to the candidates’ actual capability. All exam will be globally broadcasted live throughout the period.
Participants: All candidates.
Rewards: Would be given according to the final ranking of the candidates, where the details of rewards were as stated in the first announcement.
Time: June 9th, 8:00 to 12:00.
The examination rules were stated as follows:
——————————
Rule 1: Candidate can only challenge a candidate who is ten ranks in front of him or her. Upon victory, the candidate will take over the opponent’s ranking while all the candidates behind that ranking are de-ranked by one place accordingly.
Rule 2: Any candidate will be eliminated if they fail three challenges.
Rule 3: Time given for each challenge is 5 minutes.
Rule 4: You can only challenge someone once unless your rank changes.
Rule 5: There will be a 10-minute cooldown between each challenge interval.
Rule 6: When the battle involves the first ranked candidate, it will be globally broadcasted live, and all other challenges will be paused.
Rule 7: The map will be chosen by the candidates being challenged. When the time is up, and a draw occurs, then the candidate who was challenged wins. After the challenge is over, you can rest for 10 minutes or accept challenges from other candidates.
——————————
The announcement finished and disappeared from the screen.
It was completely silent for a few seconds.
Global War!
The war of ranking!
The announcement astonished everyone. This adjustment system had changed from the points adjustment to the ranking adjustment. It was the final stage of ranking adjustment for the exam,
“So, does that mean that the previous exams were all wasted?”
Some people voiced out their doubts. However, some people answered immediately.
“Idiot, how did your math teacher teach you? There were only 4 hours in the adjustment session, which is only 240 minutes. Considering the 10-minute cooldown, one could see at most 24 challenges. Meanwhile, considering the 5 minute challenge time, there would only be time for 16 challenges.”
“Yea, do not forget that one can only challenge the opponent who is ten ranks in front of them. Moreover, there was still the cooling period after the challenge. There might not be more than 10 challenge opportunities when you consider all these factors. Additionally, the maximum ranking adjustment could increase by 100. Don’t forget one could only fail their challenge at most three times.”
“Did you not notice the advantage the candidate gets when challenged? They have the right to choose the map, and when the 5 minutes up, even if it’s a tie, it is considered their victory! As long as they are not defeated, and could last five minutes, the victory is still theirs!”
“The candidate being challenged really has a greater advantage. Hence, it isn’t that easy to change one’s fate in this session.”
At this moment.
People finally realized that these rules had such a huge limitation.
The previous examination wasn’t important?
Haha, I can just drag out the time and maintain my ranking!
Not only that, it wasn’t only one candidate who could make the challenge, but all the candidates. If one succeeds in their challenge, all candidates behind that ranking position would be drop by 1 rank. If it continued for a few times, perhaps one couldn’t even maintain his or her initial ranking.
Hence, in order to maintain a good ranking……
Battle was the only way!
Ability was the only key!
The uproar for the exam result did not even have the chance to cause a scene before the announcement of the ranking-adjustment grabbed everyone’s attention, and completely overshadowed the result.
In the exam area.
“Global War?”
Su Hao looked at the message silently.
After the four sessions of examination, he finally got first place. However, he wasn’t even able to enjoy the position for a moment before the adjustment system came.
Global War was a comprehensive overall evaluation.
It was an undoubtful fact.
However, it was weird for the exam to end and have the adjustment system announced after that. Logically, wasn’t the adjustment system supposed to be part of the college entrance examination?
“Perhaps……”
Su Hao was thinking of something else.
From the perspective of the big picture, it seemed to be interesting.
The college entrance exam was separated into two parts, the theoretical capability and the actual capability.
Various of different examination in different aspect had given all candidate a benchmark for their overall capability, so-called theoretical capability.
Meanwhile, the adjustment system after the exam which also known as the Global War was aimed to adjust the rank based on the candidates’ actual capability. If it weren’t because of the restriction of resources; perhaps the exam center would prefer the candidates to have a real fight instead of fighting in the virtual system.
The ending announcement of the exam was made after the theoretical part; perhaps it meant that in the future, it would be developing in two different directions.
