250 All of You Can Be Like Me (1/2)

At the Main Hall to the entrance of the Specter College Instance Dungeon, the gamers were counting down to the opening of the Instance Dungeon.

While the gamers were preparing for the Instance Dungeon, the Specter College candidates were also doing their preparations. Compared to the gamers, who only had to prepare their physical condition, equipment, and traps, the candidates had more things to prepare.

No. 1: Examination notes.

The current notes had developed from about 10 sheets to a booklet of 50 pages. If they were willing to pay more, there was a cover with the Black Armored Goblin, golden fringes, and a bone bookmark.

No. 2: Find four team members and prepare a large number of servants.

The Level A examination was supposed to be more difficult. Though the Eternal Kingdom combatants could be replenished in an unlimited fashion, the restrictions placed on the candidates were also greatly reduced. They were allowed to use Skeleton Magicians, who wielded Mana. The Skeleton Soldiers weren't limited to the basic levels. They could utilize the most powerful Skeletons.

The main point was that the five-member team was allowed to have a maximum of 5 BOSSES per candidate. A normal candidate was allowed to summon 40 to 50 Skeleton Soldiers in addition to 5 BOSSES.

The graduation criteria had become simpler. If the candidates were able to defend themselves for 24 hours, they would have succeeded.

As such, many candidates chose the Level A examination, as they couldn't see how they could succeed in the Level B examination.

No. 3: Designing the graduation examination.

The graduating candidates had to design their own examination! They had to design the details of the Plot according to the allocated examination ground. They were responsible for the placement of the Skeleton Soldiers, the appearance of the BOSSES, the design of special effects, and dialogue.

The candidates didn't understand why they had to do that. They heard that it was a requirement in the agreement between Specter College and Eternal Kingdom. The aim was to cultivate the design skills of the candidates.

Though it was unconventional, the rules had been set. They had to follow the rules if they wanted to graduate from the Level A examination.

The first three points were enough to make the candidates extremely busy, especially points two and three.

Candidate 59865 was a student who chose the Level A examination because he felt it was easier for him to graduate. The more crucial point was that his parents had watched a promotional video, ”Success at the starting point”, made by Specter College.

The video was produced by the Eternal Kingdom Publicity Department. The actors were a group of Goblins, Gnomes, and Houndhead Men who had green symbols above their heads and the famous genius Brainiac.

The content of the video was as follows:

”I'm Brainiac. I'm waiting in the most powerful Dungeon, Eternal Kingdom, for you,” the emotionless Lich said as he stood in front of a Large Furnace.

With the Large Furnace as the background, a Gnome leaped from it and screamed, ”Leap of Faith!” He jumped right into the molten liquid metal.

Then the shot changed to a scene with a Blacksmith Professor and his apprentices. The Blackiron Dwarf shouted to hundreds of his apprentices, ”You have to remember that you're the strongest citizens of the Dungeon. If your Blacksmithing isn't up to par, don't disgrace Eternal Kingdom, kill yourself!”

Then the camera showed numerous half-naked apprentices jumping into the Large Furnace.

”We have the most stringent criteria and the most ruthless management. We are the strongest Dungeon, Eternal Kingdom!”

Brainiac expounded the strength of Eternal Kingdom in a ten-minute introduction.
