At the moment when the simulation field ended, Du Ge felt a strong suction as if the world was spinning around him.
When he regained his senses and opened his eyes again, his personal interface disappeared.
Before him was a crystal-clear water surface.
He was submerged in the water without any protective measures.
However, his breathing was smooth, just like in the air, without any discomfort. It was warm and comfortable.
On the water surface, a technologically advanced hatch slowly lifted, accompanied by a repetitive mechanical sound: “Assessment completed, please leave the simulation pod, assessment completed, please leave the simulation pod…”
Indeed, he did not return to his body on Earth!
Ignoring the mechanical voice, Du Ge lay in the assessment pod, contemplating the future.
At this moment.
He didn’t know whether to rejoice or be sad.
After experiencing such a wonderful life in the simulation field, to be honest, he would definitely be unwilling to return to Earth. But facing an unknown world, he felt a bit uneasy in his heart.
This is true time travel!
The sad part is that he also does not have the memories of the host in this world.
However, Du Ge quickly calmed down. He had worked so hard to compete in the simulation field, just for this moment, right?
Since he was already prepared, what is there to worry about? Just face it bravely!
In a situation where he knows nothing, if he can achieve first place in the simulation field, why fear the real world?
With a stable mindset, Du Ge sat up and began to observe the surrounding environment.
The scene of the assessment field was clear at a glance. There were at least hundreds of assessment pods, most of which were empty. There were only three people, including him, who had just sat up from the assessment pods.
The three people were of similar age, appearing to be around seventeen or eighteen years old.
At this moment.
The three young faces wore the same expression, a mix of disappointment and anger.
Du Ge didn’t need to guess. They should all be eliminated contestants, none of them made it to the top ten. No, those empty assessment pods should all be eliminated by himself…
Gulp!
Du Ge swallowed lightly and thought to himself, the first place should have some protection measures from the school, right!
Everyone is competing for rankings. If you were eliminated, it’s your own fault. You shouldn’t blame him!
However, the opponents turned out to be a group of seventeen or eighteen-year-old kids. This discovery made Du Ge suddenly feel a bit unsportsmanlike. After all, he was already in his twenties on Earth. It’s a bit unfair to fight against a group of children. No wonder in the simulation field, many contestants seemed immature…
Du Ge stood up, walked out of the assessment pod, and his steps felt a bit heavy. He had gotten used to the keen senses and strength in the simulation field. Returning to his real-world body, he felt a bit uncomfortable.
But purely comparing physical fitness, this body should be much better than his Earth body. It should be regularly exercised.
Suddenly.
Du Ge froze.
No.
Why could he see all the scenes in the assessment field?
Du Ge subconsciously touched his face. Both eyes were in front, and his features were normal, exactly the same as an Earthling. There was hair on the back of his head, and no extra eyes.
There’s an eye on the back of his head!
He brought the skills from the simulation field to the real world.
What about self-sacrifice?
What about the sudden stab from behind?
Did they also come along?
Could others also bring the skills from the simulation field to the real world?
A series of questions rushed into Du Ge’s mind, and he didn’t dare to make a hasty decision.
After all.
This is a world he completely doesn’t understand.
Creating such a realistic virtual world in the simulation field has already surpassed Earth’s technology. It’s not impossible to bring skills from the simulation field to the real world.
What if the simulation field is not only used for assessments but also for learning?
…
“Let’s go, Du Ge, stop daydreaming. We’re back in reality. The simulation field is over, we’re done.” The three people came to Du Ge’s side, and one of them lightly patted his shoulder. “There’s nothing to be sad about. We, the students from the civilian academy, have always been cannon fodder. We can’t compete with those elites from the prestigious academy. Just accept it!”
Indeed, they were from the civilian academy!
Du Ge sighed inwardly and followed them out, pretending to look lost. In the real world, he couldn’t be so conspicuous. He had to be cautious. The school must have his personal information, so he could check it later and deal with this group of ignorant classmates.
“It’s all Feng Qi’s fault. He flipped the table at the beginning. Who plays like that? It’s impossible to enjoy a few more days in the simulation field. He’s so annoying.” A female classmate muttered and complained, “You guys don’t know, in Luyang City, I saw Feng Qi stab the Glutton to death with that sword. He chased after it and stabbed it all the way, targeting that spot. It was so brutal.””At that time, I decided to just stay in the Simulation Field, eating and drinking, waiting for the time to end. But before a month had passed, I was kicked out. I didn’t even get to enjoy the osmanthus cakes! Why was Feng Qi in such a hurry to end it? He could have let us play for a couple more months!”
Du Ge glanced at the girl, secretly thinking that there was still a contestant hidden in Luyang City. Feng Zhong’s announcement didn’t draw her out, what a failure.
“It might not have been Feng Qi who ended the Simulation Field. This time, the Simulation Field ended too quickly, the rankings weren’t even displayed. Feng Qi is so flamboyant, he would definitely be targeted by others when fighting the BOSS. The winner might not be him.” The boy who had been silent all along said sourly.
“Do you have any idea how powerful Feng Qi is?” Qi Rui said. The scene of Feng Qi stabbing Glutton in Luyang City had obviously left a deep impression on her. “In less than a month, he conquered such a large territory. Can you do that? I bet you that Feng Qi will be the first this time. Do you dare to bet with me?”
“Why would I bet with you on this? I’m not the first.” The boy seemed unfamiliar with the others, he sneered and walked past them, “You guys chat, I’m going back to the dormitory first.”
“Qi Rui, were you in Luyang City at that time?” The boy who had started the conversation turned to the girl excitedly, pushing Du Ge aside and moving closer, “Tell me about Feng Qi! I was in Baitong City, I just heard about Feng Qi and the Qiao Family when the Simulation Field suddenly ended. I was completely in the dark, I didn’t know anything.”
“What’s there to say, go watch the replay! The teacher will definitely focus on Feng Qi.” Qi Rui said irritably, “In less than a month, we were kicked out of the Simulation Field. We must be the most miserable batch of candidates. By the way, Guo Liang, what’s your Keyword?”
There’s a replay?
This time, I’m really going to be famous!
Suddenly, Du Ge felt a twinge in his back teeth, but the two were so engrossed in their conversation that they didn’t notice his discomfort.
“Cultured.” Guo Liang said awkwardly, “An external Keyword, the growth rate is extremely low. What about you?”
“Drag.” Qi Rui said angrily, “A super trash Keyword. At least you can grow, where can I grow? If only Feng Qi hadn’t found me. If he knew my Keyword, I would have been the first one to be eliminated.”
“That’s really trash.” Guo Liang stifled a laugh, then turned to Du Ge and asked, “Du Ge, what’s your Keyword?”
Du Ge gave an awkward smile and said, “If I tell you my Keyword is ‘Maintenance’, would you believe me?”
Guo Liang was stunned: “Maintenance? Are you Feng Qi?”
“If he’s Feng Qi, I could bite off a piece of the examination cabin.” Qi Rui stubbornly defended the image of Feng Qi in her heart, “Feng Qi is so fierce, even if you think with your heel, his Keyword couldn’t possibly be ‘Maintenance’.”
She looked at Du Ge and shook her head, “Poor guy, your Keyword was used by Feng Qi, but you didn’t even make a splash…”
Du Ge just smiled and didn’t say anything.
At this moment, he suddenly felt that the world was quite harmonious, not as bad as he had imagined.
