Assessments are graded based on a range of performance indicators during combat,
including but not limited to quick reflexes, tactical application, offensive techniques, and weak point exploits.
While aliens of the same level may be stronger than humans, a professional who has undergone systematic training can undoubtedly defeat them by maintaining their performance.
This process allows examiners to identify and address any weaknesses.
But now, Gu Chen hadn't even made a move; a single skill from his summoned beast had instantly killed the Bloodstained Banshee.
How should this be graded?
Such an occurrence had never occurred before in previous assessments.
What should be done?
The examiners, in a state of confusion, turned their gazes to Ling Feng, who sat in the center.
He was a five-star general from the Dongzhou Military Region and the chief examiner for this assessment.
He was the one who should make the final decision on the assessment.
For a moment, several examiners' eyes turned to the figure seated at the top.
Feeling several eyes on him, Ling Feng put down the document he was reviewing and turned to the young officer.
"What's going on?"
the young officer immediately replayed the recording.
"General Ling, Gu Chen was assigned to a Hell-level secret realm, facing a level 21 Bloodstained Banshee. Her base stats were boosted by 100%, but the alien was instantly killed by his summoned beast," the young officer explained.
"Instant kill... This little guy is quite interesting..."
Ling Feng rubbed his thumb against the stubble on his chin, watching the video with interest. His eyes narrowed slightly, as if in thought.
"In that case, then adjust the parameters and raise all the aliens in the Hell-level secret realm to level 30."
"Huh? Level 30? That's a level 3 alien! Isn't that a bit too high? After all, Gu Chen has only just reached level 2."
"No problem. This kind of genius doesn't lend itself to common sense. I have a feeling even a level 3 alien won't be a problem for this kid."
"Hmm... What if he can easily kill even a level 3 alien?" another examiner immediately asked.
"The purpose of the assessment is to select outstanding personnel for the Zhenyuan Army, not to frustrate the candidates. If he can pass the assessment even against a Level 3 alien, then he's the talent we're looking for."
"How are the points calculated? Originally, in the Hell-level secret realm, killing an alien was worth 10 points. Now..." The examiner in charge of tallying the points looked troubled.
"The emergence of a genius naturally requires more than just common sense."
"I am the chief examiner of this assessment. I have the authority to make special arrangements for special circumstances during the assessment."
"Herein, I propose that in the Hell-level secret realm, each kill of a Level 3 alien be worth 5 points on top of the original points."
Ling Feng said, looking around as if to inquire.
Several examiners nodded in agreement without hesitation.
Although Ling Feng made an inquiring gesture, they all knew he wasn't soliciting their opinions.
As subordinates, nodding was sufficient.
In the Normal-level secret realm, each kill was worth 1 point.
In the Difficult-level secret realm, each kill was worth 3 points.
In the Nightmare-level Secret Realm, the maximum score for each kill is 6 points. In the Hell-level, the maximum score for each kill is 10 points.
Note that this refers to the maximum score.
This means that if there are any flaws in the battle, even if you kill the alien, there's a high chance you won't receive the required score.
Ling Feng nodded, his tone firm.
"Since there are no objections, I declare that Gu Chen's previous assessment results are invalid. The difficulty of the Hell-level Secret Realm will be adjusted and the assessment will be re-evaluated."
"Yes!"
In the assessment Secret Realm
, after killing the Blood Banshee, Gu Chen stood there, waiting for a prompt, without taking any further action.
Suddenly, the alien corpse on the ground vanished.
The next second, another Blood Banshee appeared in the previous corpse's place.
Compared to the previous one, the aura emanating from this Blood Banshee was noticeably several times stronger.
[Assessment Mission I: Kill a Level 30 Alien Blood Banshee]
The prompt appeared, and Gu Chen's eyes flashed with surprise.
Why was it "Assessment Mission I" and not "Assessment Mission II"?
However, he did not think much about the sudden appearance of the level 30 alien. After all, it was an assessment of the Zhenyuan Army. If it was too simple, wouldn't it be a child's play?
Never mind, just do it.
Gu Chen gave an order, and the Blood Clan Lord raised his gun and shot.
Although the level of the Blood Banshee was upgraded to level 30, its four-dimensional attributes were still crushed by the Blood Clan Lord, and it could not make any waves.
After all, one is an ordinary alien, and the other is a legendary summoned beast. This is an essential gap. How can it block it?
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The bullet turned into a silver-gray lightning and instantly blew up the head of the Blood Banshee.
Without any surprise, it was killed instantly again.
The eyelids of the examiners jumped violently, and they were shocked again.
Level 21 was killed instantly by you, and now level 30 is also killed instantly by you!
Are you cheating?
"Another instant kill? What the hell is that summoned beast of his?"
"With a summoned beast like that, it's practically comparable to a Dragon Knight's dragon."
"Summoner, when did you become so powerful?"
The examiners fixed their gazes on Ling Feng, awaiting his decision.
"The examination continues," a commanding voice echoed through the crowd, and Ling Feng declared his intention.
Immediately, the first round of the examination concluded.
[First Round Ends]
[54 participants in this round, 43 passed]
A prompt popped up, and everyone received their ranking, though they were limited to their own ranking and points.
Everyone else only saw their points.
[1st, Gu Chen, Points: 15]
[2nd, Zhang Shuran, Points: 5]
[19th, Zhou Xiaotian, Points: 2]
Gu Chen placed first, his impressive score of 15, like a knockout blow that sent every examinee's heart pounding.
Zhang Shuran placed second, proving the power of space mages is not to be underestimated.
As for the third, fourth, and other names, Gu Chen had never seen them before and had no recollection of them.
A closer look at each candidate's score reveals Gu Chen's commanding lead.
He has 15 points, while Zhang Shuran, right behind him, has 5, a fraction of his. The remaining candidates don't even have a fraction of his.
Points are awarded based not only on combat skill but also on combat time.
Even if you kill an alien, if your combat time doesn't meet the standard, you'll still receive a low score.
"Damn, is that first-place finisher a psycho? Even in a Hell-level Secret Realm, the maximum score for a kill is only 10. How did he get 15 points?" "Is
there a bug in the Secret Realm settings? There's definitely something wrong with the points."
"I didn't dodge. I was careless. Otherwise, I would have definitely gotten 6 points."
In the Secret Realm, Zhou Xiaotian glanced at his 19th place ranking, feeling a surge of anger and frustration.
He had been aiming for first place in this assessment.
But to think that Gu Chen had killed him at the venue, he was practically out of the top 20 in just the first round. The rest of the assessment was sure to be even worse.
This time he was completely a runner-up.
At this time, after seeing Gu Chen's results, the first reaction of most candidates was that the data was wrong.
After all, in the history of Zhenyuan Army assessment, no one has ever been able to get 15 points in the first round of assessment.
Gu Chen's eyes were calm, and he had a nonchalant attitude. He was not surprised that he ranked first.
He is already at the second level. How can he compare with these first-level brats?
At this time, the prompt appeared again.
[Assessment Task II: Kill as many aliens as possible within the specified time]
[Note: This round of assessment will refresh aliens unlimitedly within the specified time. If you are not strong enough, you can give up the assessment at any time]
