Chapter 225 - 225 192 Good Students Should Get Vaccinated

225: Chapter 192: Good Students Should Get Vaccinated 225: Chapter 192: Good Students Should Get Vaccinated Just as Zhang Yu and Ye Lingxiao were staring at each other, the figures of the five True God examiners, including Deng Bingding and Huang Zichou, appeared one by one.

Looking at the five candidates at the scene, Deng Bingding casually said, “The advancement rules for the second round of the Foundation Establishment exam, physical track, are very simple.”

“In the upcoming exam, the top two candidates will advance to the next round, competing for the Foundation Establishment qualification certificate in the final round three months later, in January next year.”

“The candidate in third place will receive a recommendation bonus, gaining extra points for the university exam for the Foundation Establishment qualification certificate in the future.”

“The candidate in fourth place will receive a university admission bonus…”

Upon hearing this, the students present immediately became more spirited.

Especially after hearing about the Foundation Establishment bonus and university admission bonus, students like Yu Xinghan, who had no hope of winning, suddenly felt invigorated.

But at this moment, Zhang Yu raised his hand and said, “Examiner, besides the opportunity to compete for the Foundation Establishment qualification certificate, aren’t there any rewards for the first and second places?”

Deng Bingding gave him a slight smile and said, “Getting the final opportunity to compete for the Foundation Establishment qualification certificate…

isn’t that enough?”

“If you think it’s not enough, don’t worry.

After participating in the final round in January next year, regardless of whether you get the Foundation Establishment qualification certificate, you’ll receive very good rewards.”

“Alright,” Deng Bingding continued, “Let’s talk about the specific exam projects now.”

“The content you’re going to be tested on today is divided into two parts.”

“The key to the first half is the use of potions…”

…

As Zhang Yu, Ye Lingxiao, and Yu Xinghan were listening to the introduction of the exam projects.

In another examination venue, Bai Zhenzhen opened her eyes and found that Zhang Yu’s figure was not around.

Then she glanced lightly around and found herself standing in an underground plaza with four other candidates present besides her.

Bai Zhenzhen thought to herself, “The second round of the Foundation Establishment exam starts with competitions according to different tracks.”

“It seems that Yu Zi and I were assigned to different exam venues as soon as we came in this time.”

Bai Zhenzhen’s gaze swept over the number 11 badge on Yun Jing’s body, and she thought to herself, “This guy is probably the second place from the last round, right?

One of the top Xiandu Masters.”

Feeling the thunderous mana in her body that was continuously surging, leaping, and impossible to calm down without using, Bai Zhenzhen thought, “This guy is the biggest obstacle to me obtaining the Foundation Establishment qualification certificate next.”

And on Yun Jing’s side, under Bai Zhenzhen’s gaze, he suddenly felt a slight stinging sensation in the air, as if being brushed by static electricity.

He glanced back at Bai Zhenzhen and thought, “The number 56 from the last round, right?

Seems to be a foreigner along with number 55 (Zhang Yu)?”

Yun Jing still remembered how these two guys had hidden their strength in the first two rounds of the Foundation Establishment exam, ending up in third and fourth place in the last round, showcasing their powerful cultivation technique learning abilities.

But Yun Jing remained confident only because his family’s investment in him over the past two months far exceeded the past.

With substantial financial support, he made rapid progress, undergoing repeated qualitative transformations.

“Only with such investments from the Yun family can I continue to achieve such qualitative leaps when my Dao Heart, mana, and physical body have already reached the peak of Qi Refinement.”

“And as long as I can obtain the Foundation Establishment qualification certificate, there will be a chance to save the current decline of the family, and the resources invested in me would not have been in vain.”

“So I absolutely cannot lose.”

What Yun Jing felt fortunate about was that Ye Lingxiao was not in the same group as him.

After all, being from Xiandu, he knew that Ye Lingxiao, as a perfect-blooded inheritor, was also in a fast-progressing phase in high school, and who knows what level of strength he has reached now.

Not having to compete directly with Ye Lingxiao suddenly made his chances of achieving the Foundation Establishment qualification certificate almost certain.

At the same time, a flash of light and shadow appeared at the front, revealing the figures of the five examiners, including Deng Bingding and Huang Zichou.

The five True Gods, at this moment, incarnated through divine power to simultaneously manage exams on four different tracks.

For Deng Bingding, it was like controlling four bodies and four visions simultaneously…

But she was long accustomed to similar tasks; ever since becoming a True God, attending meetings while working overtime, giving gifts while attending meetings, working overtime while giving gifts…

multitasking, even to a hundred-tasks level, was considered basic operation.

Only to hear Deng Bingding say, “The content of this round of martial arts exams is very simple: practical assessment.”

“Next, the five of you will take turns in a one-on-one arena battle, and after everyone has finished one round, each match will be scored differently based on the results of win, lose, or draw.”

“The candidates with the highest total scores will proceed to the next round, competing for the Foundation Establishment qualification certificate in the final round three months later, in January next year.”

“Third place…

Foundation Establishment bonus…”

“Fourth place…

university admission bonus…”

Bai Zhenzhen understood, “So it’s like battling everyone once.”

She started to warm up with a flicker of electric light, moving her whole body.

…

Just as Bai Zhenzhen started warming up.

On the other side of the sports exam venue, Deng Bingding was still explaining the contents of the assessment on this track.

“As everyone knows, drug use is the key to sports.”

“If you can’t endure the hardship of drug use, you can’t walk the path of the Immortal Path.”

“All along, how well the body can endure drug use, and how well it can absorb medications, have been important indicators of how far a cultivator can go on the Immortal Path.”

“In the first half of the exam in a moment, you will have to administer drugs to yourself as much as possible within an hour.”

“As for what drugs to use, it’s up to your own choice.”

“Of course, you are not allowed to use your Spirit Root, nor your Magic Remains during this process…”

As he spoke, a row of massive light screens appeared, displaying a list of medications, and each drug had a score next to it.

“A total of 23 kinds of drugs will be provided on-site.”

“These drugs have different functions, and we have ranked them according to the burden they place on the body from high to low, and assigned different points.”

“In general, the greater the burden a drug places on the body, the higher the points.”

“The lesser the burden, the lower the points.”

“At the end of the one-hour drug-taking period, your total accumulated points from the drugs will be your score for the first half of the exam.”

Hearing this, Zhang Yu felt a pang of worry rising in his heart, wondering whether there would be a fee for these drugs.

“If this damned exam charges for the drugs…

then I’ll have to borrow money from someone.”

“And these drugs…” Zhang Yu looked at the names on the drug list, thinking to himself: “I haven’t even used most of these, I don’t know what their effects are at all.”

Especially the top three drugs with the highest points, Zhang Yu had never even heard of them, completely falling into his blind spot of knowledge.

Fortunately, Deng Bingding’s subsequent explanation resolved Zhang Yu’s doubts.

He heard Deng Bingding say, “All the drugs for this exam are supplied free of charge, so you don’t need to worry about fees.”

“And I know you might not be familiar with each of these 23 types of drugs.”

“So we’ll be playing a drug evaluation video next, to let you understand the effects of each drug…”

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yu’s eyes lit up: “Free?

So it’s self-service drug-taking?

These True Gods have finally done something right.”

Beside him, Huang Zichou was listening to Deng Bingding, thinking to himself: “In the end, these pharmaceutical companies succeeded, saying that using drugs instead of tests, measuring students’ strength and potential by how much drugs they take…

But isn’t it ultimately to be billed to the Divine Department?

Making the Divine Department pay for these drugs?”

“In the end, isn’t it still the Heavenly Court suffering a loss?

Isn’t it still Kunxu’s interests being harmed?”

“And they didn’t even give a damn penny to me.”

“Those bastards in the company really don’t regard the Nine-grade Gods as gods.”

But thinking about how this drug-for-test policy isn’t just one layer, but involves more than a dozen layers of exams above…

Being able to complete such a transaction while the Heavenly Court is cutting costs, Huang Zichou knew the depth of the water was unfathomable, and the entangled interests made his liver and gallbladder tremble, so he could only complain in his heart at the moment.

Meanwhile, the light screen displaying the drug list flickered slightly as a video began to play.

In the video, a man said, “Hello everyone, today I’m going to evaluate 20 commonly used drugs in daily cultivation for you…”

Watching this video, Zhang Yu was taken aback for a moment, thinking to himself: “Isn’t this a video from a famous drug reviewer?”

Zhang Yu had seen many such videos before, like drug evaluations, cultivation technique evaluations, food supplement evaluations, and various training equipment, supplements, and Spirit Root unboxing videos…

The current Zhang Yu, though not watching much, still had some understanding, especially since he retained the original Zhang Yu’s memories.

He had a deep impression of the influencer in this video because, aside from various unboxing videos, there was once a popular open-coffin series that the original Zhang Yu watched several times.

It all started when the person made a video of visiting his family graveyard, showcasing different states of corpse preservation over 10, 30, 100, and 300 years.

After that video went viral, he capitalized on the momentum, filming the family tombs of various wealthy families, showcasing parks, underground palaces, buildings, and hills within the family tombs…

It was those videos that gave the original Zhang Yu his first real sense of the disparity between himself and the wealthy.

They also made him understand that some people’s family tombs could be larger than his school, and he realized that rich people, even lying in a coffin, saw their wealth grow faster than he, a poor guy, could earn while working.

The memory flashed through his mind, and now Zhang Yu continued to watch the drug introductions in the video.

One had to admit that this influencer’s introduction to the drugs was very detailed and professional, yet accessible, allowing the audience to understand each drug’s effects and advantages and disadvantages in a straightforward and simple manner.
