Chapter 089 – Enter the Simulation Field again


“…I have some unfortunate news to share with everyone. The situation in the Alien Star Battlefield this year is very bad. The Alpha, Beta, and Gamma groups from Qi Yuan Star have been completely wiped out, and the Delta group is still holding on, but the outcome is unknown. I believe everyone knows what this means.

Yes, it means that the allocation of resources will become even tighter.

If we cannot guarantee victory for the three groups next year, it means that many people from Qi Yuan Star will die.

The school has just received a notification from above that the emergency rotational examination system will be activated in three days. This may be cruel for all of you, but it is also a stroke of luck.

Because this is the biggest opportunity in your lives. If you can stand out in the rotational examination system and survive in the Alien Star Battlefield, you will become heroes like Hua Guyun, saving Qi Yuan Star and leaving your names in history.

Now is the time that truly determines your fate…”

At the school assembly.

The principal announced with a solemn expression that the rotational examination system was being initiated.

The students below didn’t care about the world’s misery. When they heard that the rotational examination system was starting, they exploded with excitement.

“Damn, is it true? Can we still catch up to the rotational examination system?”

“If we can rank in the Simulation Field during the rotational examination system, does that mean we have a chance to enter the center of power?”

“What are you dreaming about? Your best score didn’t even make it into the top four hundred. It will take ten years of the rotational examination system, and you still won’t have a chance.”

“Who said that? My previous rankings were not good because I didn’t encounter good keywords. With a good keyword, I can soar in minutes…”

“I don’t care about ranking. I just want to enjoy more years in the Simulation Field. I thought I would have to wait another half a year, but I didn’t expect to be able to enter now. It’s truly a pleasant surprise.”

“If only we could pass the rotational examination system. I heard that when you become a substitute, the country will provide you with the best quality of life. Whatever you want, they will give it to you. You can sleep with beautiful women casually, even if you become a substitute for three years and die on the Alien Star Battlefield, it would still be worth it in this lifetime.”

“After the rotational examination system, the Simulation Field will be closed for at least two to three years. That’s when the real hard times will begin! Why are the people in the Alien Star Battlefield so disappointing?”

“Be content. Being in school during the rotational examination system is better than being outside. Outside, people really starve to death…”

“Do you think Du Ge has a chance to pass the rotational examination system?”

“Chance my ass. He’s just a lucky guy. If he dares to cause trouble again, who knows how many people will target him?”

“Just wait and see. After this round of simulation exams, he will have to move out of the single dormitory in embarrassment. That bastard, we’ll deal with him then…”

“What do you think the background of the next Simulation Field will be?”

“The first-year level shouldn’t be too difficult. I hope it’s a modern city background. After all, the laws are sound, and the danger level will be lower. Plus, there will be a lot of delicious food.”

“Modern society has guns. I can’t stand it if there’s even a hint of supernatural elements. It’s better to have a historical setting…”

In the office.

Teacher Hu had a private conversation with Du Ge. “Du Ge, I know that you’ve been under a lot of pressure lately. The teachers don’t approve of your way of clearing the stages, and the students exclude you. But if you want to grow, you must endure these things.”

I wish they would exclude me!

Du Ge muttered in his heart and humbly accepted the teacher’s advice. “Yes, Teacher Hu, I understand. I will prove it to them. If I can get first place once, I can get first place again.”

“Good, it’s good to have this confidence.” Teacher Hu smiled at Du Ge. “But once you enter the Simulation Field again, you need to change your approach. What the teachers said is not wrong. Flipping tables once is enough. If you continue like this, you will be the one at a disadvantage.

Du Ge, you have strong adaptability and high mental strength. You have a head start compared to others. Be more cautious and low-key, and it shouldn’t be a problem to achieve first place. I know you took advantage of flipping the table last time, but this time, you must listen to the teachers. You are the only one in No. 42 Middle School with a chance to pass the rotational examination system. Don’t let your stubbornness ruin you…”

In front of the teacher, Du Ge always maintained the image of a well-behaved child. “Don’t worry, Teacher Hu. I will adapt accordingly. Just wait for my good news. No. 42 Middle School will be proud of me.”

Teacher Hu looked at Du Ge, a hint of worry flashing between his eyebrows, but he still smiled and nodded. “Good, I’ll wait for your good news. But remember, be cautious, cautious, and even more cautious. Even if it’s not for No. 42 Middle School, do it for yourself. The principal has already said that once you drop out of the top ten, all the benefits the school has given you will be taken away.”

Using benefits to threaten, how petty!

Du Ge complained in his heart, saying, “I understand, Teacher Hu. If there’s nothing else, I’ll go back and prepare. Feng Zhong gave me a mental power cultivation technique, so I can practice a bit longer…”

Back in the dormitory, Du Ge contacted Yin Erchuan, Zhu Shijie, and others through the phone to strengthen their relationship before adjusting his mind and body to prepare for the upcoming Simulation Field.

In the end times, once you become a commoner, your life is no longer your own. You never know when the government will abandon you, silently dying in the chaos or hunger. In this world that is like a slave camp, it’s impossible to find a place to live a peaceful life.

Therefore, he must succeed and not fail…….

Three days passed in a hurry.

With everyone’s anticipation, the assessment began again. All the candidates entered the Simulation Field, and the school was eerily quiet.

Du Ge once again immersed himself in the nutrient solution of the assessment pod.

The hatch slowly closed, and a familiar mechanical voice sounded: “Inside the Simulation Field, please remain calm, relax, slow down your breathing, do not stand up, do not make any unnecessary movements. Any extra movements that interfere with the operation of the assessment pod will be considered as voluntarily giving up the assessment. The simulation assessment will officially begin in one minute. We wish everyone good results in the Simulation Field… Five, four, three, two, one.”

The mechanical voice, accompanied by music, seemed to have a hypnotic effect. Du Ge’s mind gradually emptied, and apart from the countdown and his heartbeat, he could no longer hear any other sounds.

At this moment, his mood was unprecedentedly calm.

As the countdown ended.

A sudden wave of dizziness hit him.

Then.

The dizziness turned into a feeling of weightlessness.

The scene suddenly switched.

Du Ge entered the world inside the simulator.

At this time, his body was eighty percent transparent, wrapped in a transparent bubble.

The bubble floated in the air, swaying back and forth.

This was a feeling he had never experienced before, like being in a weightless space capsule, or like an out-of-body experience.

This was Du Ge’s first complete entry into the Simulation Field. He looked around curiously. Many transparent covers like his were scattered around, all of them were candidates participating in the Simulation Field.

From the outside, each person was just a soft humanoid glow, and their original appearance was completely unrecognizable. It was impossible to identify who was who by their looks, let alone track and retaliate.

Through the bubble, Du Ge saw the mountains, forests, rivers below, and the towns scattered around…

“Modern? Disaster? Ruins? Apocalypse?”

Looking at the cars scattered on the roadside, the collapsed buildings, and the streets without a single person.

Du Ge immediately identified the world background. Then, he silently cursed in his heart. In the real world, he had finally created a comfortable environment, but once he entered the Simulation Field, it was still an apocalyptic scene.

This was really a dog’s life!

……

The function of the floating bubble was to provide a transition before integrating into the world, protecting the candidates’ soul bodies. It would stay in the air for five minutes, drifting randomly, allowing the candidates to understand the world below and choose the location for Body Possession.

Afterwards, the server would remove the protection, allowing the candidates to integrate into the world and choose their Body Possession targets.

Five minutes later, the protective shell would disappear.

Then.

The scorching sun, magnetic field, and strong wind would all cause burns to the soul body.

The soul body would quickly weaken.

If a suitable target for Body Possession is not found before it dissipates, the candidate will be directly kicked out of the Simulation Field, ending this assessment.

The higher the mental power, the longer the soul body can exist.
