Chapter 174 Fourth Assessmen (2/2)
”My name is Mu Lan. I am the head examiner of the fourth a.s.sessment…”
Everyone was shocked when they heard her name.
”Is she the girl who ranked fourth on the Gold Hunter Leaderboard?!”
”I think it's her. I heard that Mu Lan has short hair and likes to dress in a simple uniform. She doesn't like to wear dresses.”
”Aside from majoring in the sword, I've also heard that Mu Lan is an Imperial Censor.”
...
When she heard everyone talking about her, Mu Lan maintained a neutral facial expression and said, ”I know that many of you might have heard of my name. However, the a.s.sessment is about to start. Please don't waste your time on this. I'm the head examiner of this examination site. If anyone of you interrupts me, you'll be disqualified.”
As soon as she finished her sentence, everyone became silent.
”I'll now talk about the rules for the next round of the a.s.sessment. We are now on Little Devil Island. There are demonic, undead and spiritual monsters around the level-4 wild zone. There are many gold-level monsters at the center of the island. Please try to avoid them.”
”The rules are simple. You're given 15 days to kill five different silver-level monsters and bring their carca.s.ses back. If you do that, you would have pa.s.sed the a.s.sessment.”
Many of them were stunned as they listened to the rules of the a.s.sessment. It was difficult enough when they had to pa.s.s the monster cage during the previous a.s.sessment. They had to hunt down the monsters in this round?!
”Hunting down monsters was possible as long as one was at silver-level rank-1 to silver-level rank-3. There's no restriction on how you kill the monsters. You can use whatever you have in your storage s.p.a.ce. You can even buy whatever you need from our staff. However, we don't provide powerful weapons…”
At that moment, one of the candidates raised his hand.
Mu Lan then looked at him, nodding her head, ”Please say.”
”What's the price?” The candidate asked.
”It's the same as the market price. We don't earn extra credit points.” Mu Lan explained.
After answering his question, another candidate raised his hand.
”Can we form a team to kill the monsters?”
”Yes, you can.” Mu Lan nodded her head.
Lin Huang then raised his hand too.
Similarly, Mu Lan looked at him and nodded her head, ”Please ask.”
”Can we steal the carca.s.ses from the others?” Lin Huang asked with a smile. Many of the candidates s.h.i.+fted their gazes towards him as he asked.
By asking this question, Lin Huang's intention was not to s.n.a.t.c.h their carca.s.ses away but to sell them at a higher price.
”Yes, you can. However, you're not allowed to kill people. A murderer will be blacklisted forever.” Mu Lan frowned and answered.
After answering these few questions, they did not ask any other question. Mu Lan then said, ”This a.s.sessment allows you to kill monsters based on your own creativity. I gave all of you 15 days to complete this a.s.sessment by hunting down five different monsters. That being said, you'll have three days prepare yourselves before killing each of the required monsters. It can actually be killed instantly. However, you'll be given three days to collect more information about the monster like its living habits and weaknesses before you decide on a strategy to kill it. Please don't waste your time on nonsense and plan your strategy properly. It's not difficult to pa.s.s the a.s.sessment.”
When she uttered that last sentence, she glanced at Lin Huang.
After explaining the rules of the a.s.sessment, Mu Lan lowered her head and looked at the time, ”It is now 9.40 a.m. 15 days later, candidates that come back to me with the carca.s.s of five different silver-level monsters before 10 a.m. will pa.s.s the a.s.sessment. Also, the carca.s.ses have to be monsters on Little Devil Island. Using other monsters to meet the monster count will cause you to fail the a.s.sessment.”
She gazed upon the crowd and since n.o.body raised any more questions, Mu Lan announced, ”The fourth a.s.sessment starts now!”
