Volume 19 Chapter 77 Admission Test

"Dr. Haas!" Seeing the pile of books and the waving hands, I rushed over, pulled open the books on them twice, and then reached out and lifted a skinny man less than 1.2 meters tall. The little old man was dragged out. "Are you okay Dr. Haas?"

"It's okay, it's okay. I'm a strong doctor. How can these books hit me to death?" The little old man in my hand was arranging his clothes while boasting. He didn't turn around until I put him on the ground. I said, "By the way, are you going to do another test when you bring someone here?"

"Yes, all three of them need to take tests." I pointed to the last three.

Dr. Haas raised his head and glanced at the three people, and then said: "Come with me." As the old man said, he turned around and walked towards a door in the back room. I quickly motioned to the priest sister and the three of them to follow.

After passing through that door, we entered a small library. After passing through another door here, we entered a long corridor. We walked to the end of the corridor and then turned a corner in front of us. Only then did a door appear that looked quite special. The reason why this door is special is mainly because the structure of this door is completely different from other doors in the library. All the doors we saw before when we came in were made of wood, but the door in front of us was made of stone slabs, and a quite complicated magic circle was drawn on it, with a magic circle inlaid at the eye. A huge magic crystal.

Dr. Haas walked to the door and gently pressed his hand on the magic crystal. The two statues standing still on both sides of the magic crystal suddenly came to life. He opened his eyes and looked at Dr. Haas and me, and then seemed to react suddenly. The moment he came over, he stood up straight and saluted the two of us. "President! Dr. Haas."

Haas nodded and said, "Open the door."

I also nodded, and then the two stone statues turned around and pressed lightly on the wall behind them. Two round holes slightly thinner than human legs immediately opened on the wall. The two golem guards looked at each other, then the golem on the left stretched out his left hand, and the golem on the right stretched out his right hand. The two golems inserted their hands into the hole at the same time, and then moved towards the middle at the same time. Turning around, the door in front of us suddenly rose with a bang in just one second, completely opening the passage in front of us.

"Come in." After Dr. Haas said that, he walked in first, and the priest sister and I followed closely. After we entered, the two golem guards turned their arms back to their original positions and withdrew their arms, and the door fell again the moment they let go.

After entering the gate, what we entered was not the target room, but a small space similar to an elevator. After we stood up, the room suddenly fell downwards, and then it continued to fall at this speed for more than ten seconds before starting to slow down. Finally, after the elevator stopped, the door we just entered reopened, but it was already a different scene outside.

"This is the underground library of our guild library, specially used to store backup books." I explained to the priest mm and the others: "All the books in "Zero" have durability, except for the skill books. And books cannot be repaired, they can only be backed up. For example, many frequently borrowed books in our guild library will be damaged very quickly, so many copies of commonly used books need to be backed up."

The priest sister nodded and said: "The big guilds are indeed different. The details are much more comprehensive than those of the small and medium-sized guilds."

We were chatting when Dr. Haas suddenly said: "Okay, this is it."

Hearing what Dr. Haas said I turned my attention back. Now a few of us are parked in a not too big room, and the room is basically empty. There is only a teleportation array-like disc placed under the corner opposite the main entrance, but the disc is obviously not Teleportation array, because there are many pipes connected to the bottom of this thing leading to a huge machine that looks like an operating table.

"This is what you usually use to test members?" The priest sister was obviously confused as to why she came to this place instead of the martial arts training ground for the test.

I shook my head and explained to the priest mm: "Usually our guild uses large testers for recruiting people. This is a small one. It can only test up to five people at a time, but there are only three of you, so you can use it. As for How to test is actually very simple. After a while, you will stand up and we will start the machine and you will be teleported out. After that, there will be various hidden prompts. As long as you can successfully complete the mission goals we hope, you will be considered qualified. Of course, this The test also has a time limit. It is impossible for you to do unlimited tasks in it. The general test time is six hours. Of course, if you want it to be shorter, we can end the test early. Have you thought about it? "

"Of course it's six hours. Isn't it a disadvantage if the time is short?" said the soldier brought by the priest's sister.

I smiled noncommittally, and then said, "Then just stand up."

After hearing my words, several people stood up together, and then Dr. Haas started several machines, and finally said: "You will report your names, occupations and levels first, and then I will start the test."

After listening to the priest sister, she first said: "My name is Blood Scythe, my profession is Shadow Knight, level 901." I was stunned for a moment when I heard the priest sister's words, because this was different from the level she said before, but I guess At that time, she wanted to keep some hidden strength, which was a normal reaction of a normal person and understandable.

The archer brought by the priest mm followed the priest mm and said: "My name is Blood Arrow, my profession is soul sniper, level 897."

The last warrior said: "My name is Blood Sword, my profession is Soul Warrior, level 871."

After listening to the reports of the three people, Dr. Haas nodded directly and pushed the switch on the machine to the maximum. The three people who followed him suddenly fell down as if they had been knocked unconscious. "Okay, bring them over." Dr. Haas didn't panic when he saw the three people falling. He just calmly pressed a few times on the operating table, and then the ground rose. Five purpose-built fixed beds.

In fact, the teleportation array-like thing just now is not a real teleportation array. Naturally, it cannot teleport people to the mission world. In fact, the true form of that thing is a soul vibrator, which is basically like an electric shock device and can knock people out instantly. As for what I said before that this thing will teleport them to the test mission, that one is actually a lie to them. But I said that it is correct to enter the task through this thing, because the real test must ensure that they are in the sleep state before they can be executed.

Looking at the three beds raised on the ground, I didn't express the slightest surprise. After all, this trick had already tricked many people. I had put several people on it myself, so I was already familiar with this process. I reached out to pick up the Blood Scythe and put her on the special bed. Then I used the metal fixtures on the bed to fix her hands, feet, waist and most importantly, her head. After confirming that they would not loosen, I turned around and fixed her hands, feet, waist and most importantly her head. The other two also secured the other two empty beds and fixed them in the same way.

Seeing that I had secured the three people, Dr. Haas pressed another button on the console, and five openings were opened on the top of the room and five telescopic arms with many steering joints were lowered. The telescopic arm itself is not strong and only serves a supporting function. On each of these five telescopic arms hangs a tube whose surface is covered with dense magic patterns, and this tube is eventually connected to what looks like a metal scorpion at the tip of the mechanical arm.

I first walked to the Blood Scythe, the priest mm, and then reached out and pulled down the telescopic arm hanging above my head. Pull the telescopic arm all the way under the head of the bed, use the steering joint on the telescopic arm to flip the metal scorpion at the top, and then insert it inward through the hole reserved under the head of the bed. I just heard a click, and the six legs of the metal scorpion that passed through the hole suddenly folded up just enough to catch the Blood Scythe's neck. Then I pulled down a handle on the telescopic arm, and the metal scorpion's tail suddenly With a clanking sound, the protruding needle on the front was retracted, and a threaded hole was exposed on the opposite side of the tail needle.

"Where's the 'medicine'?" I looked up and asked Dr. Haas.

"At this."

Dr. Haas picked up three crystal bottles as big as oral liquid from the operating table and threw them over. After catching the bottles, I put two of them aside first, then aligned the mouth of the remaining bottle with the threaded hole behind the scorpion needle and screwed it in. After making sure that the bottle was fixed, I pushed up the handle that I had pulled down before. The moment I pushed up the handle, there was a sound, and the bottle on the back of the scorpion's tail was pulled into the scorpion's tail. A small amount of blood entered, and at the same time, the scorpion tail needle that had just been retracted instantly popped out, with the green liquid in the bottle still dripping from its tip.

After seeing the tail needle pop out, I pressed a switch on the telescopic arm. The tail needle that was hanging behind the Blood Scythe's neck suddenly retracted, and the nearly two-inch-long needle shone with a cold silver light. It instantly stabbed into Blood Scythe's spine. At the same time, Blood Scythe's whole body twitched violently, but soon relaxed again.

After seeing Blood Scythe relax again, I leaned over and opened her eyelids with my fingers to take a look. After confirming that her pupils were dilated normally, I turned around and walked towards the other two beds. After connecting the two people in the same way, I walked back to Dr. Haas and said, "Okay, let's get started."

Dr. Haas nodded, and then pressed a huge red button on the operating table.

As Dr. Haas started the machine, the three people on the bed jerked up at the same time as if they were suddenly electrocuted. Although many parts of their bodies were fixed, they began to stretch so hard that they were almost leaving the bed. If it weren't for There were retainers, so three people were probably already jumping up. However, this twitching only lasted for a few seconds before returning to normal. Then the three people stopped struggling. As the test continued, someone would occasionally shake unconsciously, but the violent resistance like before did not happen again. .

"It looks pretty good," Dr. Haas said.

After hearing this, I also stretched my head and glanced at the operating table, and saw that three crystal stones representing the test results of the three people on the operating table had lit up. This tester is used to judge a person's psychological characteristics through the behavior of people in artificial dreams. The first level of our guild's entrance test is actually a psychological test, not a combat effectiveness test as many people think. In fact, the three of them, Blood Scythe, don't need to show much fighting power in the dream. It doesn't even matter if they fail the mission in the dream, because this test mainly tests their psychology rather than their strength. Compared with completing the task requirements, being able to show a spirit of unity and persistence during the task is the most important. Of course, it would be better if you can complete the task by the way.

Because players are already in a dream when they log into the game, so dreaming in the game is a dream within a dream. This superimposed form of dreaming has very low requirements on the human brain because many computing tasks are shared by the system. Therefore, even ordinary people can easily endure dreams within dreams at about ten times the speed. Based on this principle, the three of them, Blood Scythe, are actually in a time-forwarding mode. The ten minutes of data we observed outside is actually more than an hour for them, and the entire mission The external test time is one hour, which means they only have ten hours within the mission.

Since the observation time was not very long, and I was extremely optimistic about the Blood Scythe, I did not run around in this hour, but connected to the communication of the God of War while chatting with the God of War about some backlogged information. The guild's work arrangements were made while observing the changes of the three people.

Although the three people were doing the task in their dreams, because their body signals could not be completely isolated, their bodies would still jerk from time to time. What I wanted to observe was whether they had any overreactions, because that situation generally meant that they were inside the task. They are in an extremely abnormal mental state, such as near death or injury. Of course, in addition to observing their bodies, the number of crystal stones on the instrument that light up also needs to be focused on. After all, that thing is directly related to their assessment results.

When the observation time passed half an hour, which was five hours into the mission, the three people on the bed suddenly started to make a collective commotion. Although I didn't see any big movements from them, the three of them were constantly twisting around like bugs on their bodies, very restless.

"It seems they have encountered something rather troublesome." Seeing the restlessness of the three, Dr. Haas said.

I nodded and was about to answer, when I suddenly saw the Blood Sword on the bed at the back suddenly arched his whole body upwards, then slammed back onto the bed, and then heard a chirping sound on the scorpion needle under his head. The liquid in the fixed bottle was suddenly injected into his spine. All the fixators on the bed, including the metal scorpion stuck around his neck, bounced up, and the Blood Sword also instantly disappeared from the body. Jumped up on the bed.

"Ah..." The Blood Sword suddenly jumped up from the bed and slid to the ground. He stumbled and before he could stand still, he waved his hand forward and made a stabbing motion. However, when he stretched out his hand, he realized that something felt wrong. When he lowered his head and saw that his hands were empty, he looked around again and saw that he was still in the room where he entered the mission before, and the monsters in the mission, including his two companions, were gone.

"Okay, okay, don't be nervous. It was just a scene from the mission." I walked over to comfort the Blood Sword who was still in a nervous state and said, "You should have died in the mission just now, and now you have been sent back. .”

When I heard that he had been sent back, Blood Sword's nervousness immediately disappeared, but his expression clearly showed that he was also in a very low mood. However, when he turned around and saw the Blood Arrow and Blood Scythe, he took a step back in surprise, and then looked at me warily before he almost drew his sword.

"Don't be nervous, they are just doing the task, they haven't completed it yet." I explained to the Blood Sword: "Did you see this bed? You were doing the same task just now."

"Didn't we get teleported out?" Blood Sword asked with some confusion.

"It was not teleported, but knocked unconscious." I explained to him: "I lied to you before, and the purpose was to make you believe that you really entered the mission. In fact, your body has not moved. Just now The mission is just a dream. The two of them are still dreaming, that is, they are still doing the mission."

After hearing my explanation, Blood Sword also relaxed. Of course, it was not mainly because he believed my explanation, but because he figured it out himself. With the strength of me and the Frost Rose Alliance, we can do whatever we want to harm them. There is no need to lie to them, so he feels that there is no point in guarding against me.

After believing what I said, Blood Sword's expression became lonely again. Looking at the two people on the bed, his expression seemed very complicated.

I've taken a lot of people to do tests anyway, and I've seen expressions like the Blood Sword a lot, so I can tell at a glance why he's in a low mood. He didn't know that this test was actually just a psychological test, and he thought he could pass the test only by completing the task. However, he failed halfway through the task, clearly failing. With this understanding, it's strange that he is in a good mood.

Seeing how pitiful he looked, I was too embarrassed to make him sad anymore, so I asked directly: "Why do you have such an expression? Do you mean you don't want to join our Frost Rose Alliance? Even if you pass, you still look like I'm disappointed." what does it mean?"

The Blood Sword suddenly heard my words and didn't react for a while. He just replied out of habit: "I don't know how to express myself if I don't want to. I'm sad because I can't join! You still said that I passed... ..." At this point, Blood Sword suddenly froze. "What did you say? I passed?"

I smiled and nodded, then pointed to the operating table and said: "You lit up fourteen of the twenty white crystals, and none of the red crystals. If you are unqualified, our Frost Rose Alliance will at least Wipe out most of the people."

"Wait...I can't turn around. What do you mean by crystal?"

"Hehe, it doesn't actually mean anything. It's just that what you just did was not a combat effectiveness test, but a psychological test."

"What? Is this a psychological test?" Blood Sword looked at me in surprise and asked.

I nodded and said: "Yes, this is a psychological test, specially used to test the bright and dark sides of people's psychology. In fact, there were many test scenes about human nature in the mission before. Haven't you felt those? Are all the scenes difficult for you?”

The Blood Sword also thought about it after hearing what I said. "That's right! There were so many scenes before that I had a hard time making up my mind. It felt like those tasks were all about tempting people to fall!"

"That is actually a mission trap. If you choose an option that is beneficial to you, you will seriously harm your companions. If you are a mentally normal person, you may rather suffer a small loss yourself, but also ensure that your companions do not suffer a big loss, but If you are an extremely selfish person, you will choose to hurt your companions to save yourself. Such tasks are to test people's psychological reactions. Therefore, the task objectives you obtained before are actually meaningless at all. Whether you complete them or not is correct. Whether you can join the club or not actually doesn't matter at all. The real score depends on your choices in those small tasks."

"So that's it!" Blood Sword suddenly realized: "Then what happened to the crystal you just mentioned?"

"Twenty red crystals and twenty white crystals are used on these panels to represent the virtues and vices of the test subjects. If you light up fourteen white crystals, it means that you have fourteen of the virtues, and there is no red crystal. It means that you did not commit any evil deeds during the mission. Although the mission is not long, it does not mean that you have no shortcomings at all, but it at least means that you have a pretty good character."

"I'm confused. He Zhe, your guild recruits people not based on their strength but on their character?"

"Absolutely. People outside think that our guild only recruits people based on their strength. In fact, the elites our guild refers to are elites in terms of personal character, not elites in combat effectiveness."

After hearing what I said, the Blood Sword looked at the control panel again, and then asked: "Whose test result is this that lights up ten white crystals and one red crystal?"

"It's from the Blood Scythe."

"The eldest sister actually has character flaws?" Blood Sword sighed and asked, "By the way, can you guys tell me what kind of flaws or advantages it is?"

I nodded and said, "Of course, our technology is very advanced."

"Then what's the shortcoming of the red crystal on our eldest sister's head?"

"Let me take a look." I glanced at the position of the red crystal that lit up, and then said, "It's cowardice."

"What?"

"Don't be so surprised. Her strong white crystal is also bright. People's personalities usually have two sides. It's not strange for a person to be strong and cowardly at the same time. Besides, your eldest sister is a girl after all. Although You usually act very strong, so it’s not surprising that you have some character weaknesses, right?”

Blood Sword nodded and said: "That's right." After saying that, he pointed to the area next to him in surprise and said: "Isn't it right? Why did Brother Arrow light up so many red crystals? Are you correct?" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation at *** (***.***), ***. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
