Chapter 41: Chapter 41 End of Semester Exam Stage Two

The vice principal stood up again, his gaze full of pressure sweeping over all the students, and he said in a deep voice:

“The first phase of the final exam has passed, congratulations to the students who have remained, you have successfully advanced to the second year of high school. Next is the ranking assessment, which will determine whether you join the regular or elite class.”

“This final exam will be held in a controlled dimension of our school, which is relatively safe, but that does not mean there's no danger. Therefore, next you will need to sign a waiver agreement, and after that you will be teleported to the Crystal Wall system numbered AX-191, to dimension S-451574. We will send you the specific exam content later.”

“Before that, I must emphasize, due to the certain level of danger in the tasks, although teachers will accompany you, they may not be able to look after everyone. Thus, you are allowed to opt out of the ranking exam, but as a consequence, whoever chooses to give up will automatically be placed in the last class of the regular group and will not be able to be promoted to the elite class.”

Vice principal Xu Yundong's gaze, full of pressure, swept over everyone, but no one spoke up, nor did anyone give up.

He nodded in satisfaction and said:

“I'm very pleased that no one has given up. Since that is the case, the second phase of this term's final examination officially begins.”

As his voice fell, he transformed into a beam of golden light shooting into the sky, leaving behind the many students and class teachers of each year.

No one spoke because, after the principal had left, a light screen popped out of nowhere in front of everyone, displaying a huge map of the dimension, with the dimension number S-451574 written on it. According to the instructions, this was the dimension they were about to enter for the exam; a medium-sized dimension completely controlled by the school.

The dimension is located in the Outland, within the small Crystal Wall System numbered AX-191, a medium-sized dimension within a small crystal wall system.

According to the introduction beside the map, this medium-sized dimension covers an area of several million square kilometers, approximately three thousand kilometers in length from east to west, and about two thousand kilometers in width from south to north, equivalent to two-thirds the size of Ancient HuaXia, featuring vast oceans as well as a landmass that covers about forty percent of the dimension's area, located on the left side, which is the west, with the rest to the east being ocean.

There are several attached micro dimensions within this dimension, and a considerable number of demi-dimensions.

There are no Humans, Elves, Dwarves, or other common races in this dimension. The savage continent is partly occupied by Beastmen, with the other part being occupied by a sizeable number of Barbaric Races, including Centaurs, Wild Boar People, Goblins, Kobolds, and so on.

The Beastmen have established the Beastman Kingdom in the western part of the continent, worshipping a deity called the Beast God, who is actually a High-Level Demigod.

The Barbaric Races, on the other hand, have established the United Tribe in the eastern part of the continent, worshipping a deity known as the Barbaric God. This entity is also a High-Level Demigod, and the two forces have divided over seventy percent of the entire continent between them.

The oceans are occupied by the Merfolk, who worship a High-Level Demigod known as the Sea God. With the Sea God's name, the Merfolk rule all the oceans of this world and have established a vast Merfolk Empire.

Three High-Level Demigods rule this world, in addition to several Normal Demigods and divine beasts, comprising the upper echelon of the power hierarchy of this medium-sized dimension.

Of course, their final exam task is not to slay a deity, which is impossible. Their task is quite simple—complete any school-assigned task with a score of 60 points or above. The higher the score, the higher the ranking.

Lin Xiao lightly touched the task panel on the right, and a series of tasks refreshed swiftly, the top two tasks rated a hundred points looked blood-drenched, as if soaked in blood. The colors of the tasks gradually changed from red to yellow and then to green as the scores decreased, with the higher the difficulty, the redder the color, and the lower the difficulty, the greener the color.

It was just like facing monsters in a game, where monsters of a lower level than you appear green, those slightly higher-level show yellow, and those of a much higher level appear red. And at a certain point, it would turn into a skull icon.

When he casually touched a task named 'Exterminate Wild Boar People,' a light spot appeared on the dimension map on the left, which expanded like in a game, with detailed task information floating above—

“Task: Exterminate Wild Boar People.”

“Task Introduction: A fierce group of Wild Boar People inhabit Black Thorn Mountain, taking over a fertile valley with a lake. It's time to eliminate them.” “Tips: The number of Wild Boar People ranges between 500-1000, with a base level of Rank 1 and a maximum level of Level 3.”

“Task Reward: 60 points rating, 1 Five Star Card (Normal), various spoils of war.”

“This is really like a game!”

Lin Xiao smacked his lips, finding this setup quite entertaining.

Of course, he wouldn't take on this task. It was just a casual glance for him. He would certainly choose a task with a score of 80 points or above, as according to previous years' experiences, a score of at least 80 points was needed to join the elite class with high probability.

According to the rules of the final exams, each student can complete three tasks during the exam, but the final score is based on the highest scoring task.

If tasks with scores of 60, 70, and 74 points are completed respectively, only 74 points will be considered in the final score, without any additional bonuses.

However, even though the other two tasks do not count for the score, their rewards are not cancelled and are considered an extra benefit to the students.

This is why, despite the known risks of the exam, not a single student gave up, even the poor performers, because of these benefits.

Even a task with a rating of 60 points comes with a reward of one Five Star Card; then what about tasks rated 70, 80, or even 90 points?

These tasks must offer even greater rewards. If someone has the ability to complete three tasks with over 90 points, they could potentially obtain three Purple Epic Quality Five Star Cards and a number of random quality Five Star Cards.

If someone manages to complete a task with a rating of 95 or above, they will receive one Orange Legend Quality Five Star Card and five random rare quality Five Star Cards.

If, and it's a big if, someone manages to complete the second of those blood-soaked hundred percent tasks at the top, they would receive a Golden Mythical Quality Five Star Card, one Legendary Quality Five Star Card, along with ten Five Star Cards of a lower than Epic random quality.

As for the task ranked first…

That's put there for students to see, not for them to actually complete, because with the students' power, even if it were a hundred times stronger, it would still be impossible to complete.

Lin Xiao merely glanced at it and immediately passed.

Good heavens, the second of those hundred percent tasks actually required you to kill a Demigod, and killing any Normal Demigod in this medium-sized dimension would count as task completion.

As for the task ranked first among the hundred percent tasks, it also involved killing a Demigod, but not a Normal Demigod, rather one of the three High-Level Demigods of this dimension, which are Beast God, Barbaric God, and Sea God..
