Every contestant's interview wasn't short.
It wasn't just a simple job interview.
If the contestants made any mistakes during the interview, they might die in the ring.
It was very likely that he would die in the arena.
They were already prepared to die.
No one could guarantee absolute safety in such a competition.
But they had to avoid it as much as possible.
Every contestant's interview took at least two hours.
Some even took longer.
After almost ten days, they finally gathered 200 contestants for the preliminary round.
The first round was survival of the fittest. First, the 200 contestants would be placed in one area, and then some danger would be created. Then, they would have to fight against the external dangers while fighting among themselves. Most of the contestants would be eliminated, and only 64 contestants would be left.
Then, the competition was very simple.
There were no points or revival matches. It was just an elimination match. The winner would advance and the loser would be eliminated.
…
"West, I've already set up the first round of survival of the fittest. 2,000 evil spirits, 200 magical beasts, and one beast king. It's all up to you now."
It took Chen Zhao a lot of effort to kill so many evil spirits and magical beasts. He had to go to the Serpent World to capture them.
The evil spirits were even more troublesome. Chen Zhao had to destroy three evil spirit nests to gather 1,000 evil spirits.
As for the beast king, it was the easiest. It was at the early stage of the Disaster stage, so it wasn't difficult.
At the same time, he had to place a special mark in the bodies of the evil spirits and magical beasts.
That way, after the contestants killed them, they could use it as proof.
"Guild Leader, how about this? Each of these participants must eliminate 20 Evil Spirits and three Demonic Beasts, as well as three other participants' tokens. Only then can they advance to the next level. Alternatively, they can directly defeat the Beast King and advance by two levels. Moreover, the number of promotion slots is limited to 64. Once the promotion slots are filled, no matter how many Evil Spirits and Demonic Beasts the participants kill, they will not be able to advance to the next level.
"Sure." Chen Zhao nodded. "As long as the rules are reasonable, I won't comment on the details."
Chen Zhao basically didn't make any decisions. He only provided suggestions.
"When do you plan on starting officially?"
"The day after tomorrow," West said. "But we still need the president to monitor the entire area. We need to avoid casualties as much as possible."
"Fine. I'll be in charge of the first survival of the fittest."
Only Chen Zhao's small world could cover this area.
If they were to use monitoring equipment, there would be too many people in charge of monitoring.
Even if everyone from the Supernatural Organization joined in, they probably wouldn't have enough people.
Another method was to divide the entire area into smaller areas and assign people to monitor each area.
This method still had a huge hidden danger, and it was not safe.
In the end, Chen Zhao was the only one who had to suffer.
The safest way to monitor them was to cover the entire area with a small world.
Just then, Chen Zhao heard the boy's angry shout from outside.
"Liar! You liar! You're all liars!" Therma shouted angrily. "I'm here to learn alchemy, not to work for you!"
Chen Zhao walked out and saw Therma, Rouen's new disciple, arguing with Rouen Faxben.
"No, Therma, I think you're mistaken. Studying is only secondary. Your real role is to be my assistant." Rouen said calmly, "And why do you think the alchemy books you read are free? Those alchemy books will have to be repaid through your work. "
Seeing Chen Zhao arrive, Therma immediately ran up to him.
"Mr. Chen, you're the president," Therma said indignantly. "You should give me justice."
"I'm afraid you'll be disappointed. You won't get justice here." Chen Zhao smiled at Therma.
"You're all liars." Therma was even more furious. "I'm leaving."
"Fine, I'll give you a day off, but you better come on time tomorrow," Rouen said.
"No, I won't come again. I won't be exploited by you anymore."
Chen Zhao and Rouen Faxben both laughed.
"Don't forget that you signed a magic contract," Rouen said. "I think you should read the terms before you sign it next time, instead of complaining that you were tricked."
"There's a clause in the contract. You're responsible for teaching me alchemy and I only need to learn. It didn't say that I have to do hard labor."
"Yeah, didn't I teach you an alchemy spell the first day you came? Essence Extraction. I didn't break the contract."
"But in the next few days, you kept asking me to use Essence Extraction to extract the essence of magic materials."
"Yes, your effort in extracting the essence of magic materials earned you alchemy books as a reward. See, it's fair."
"…" Therma was a bit confused. He covered his head and shouted, "Hold on … Let me organize my thoughts … What you said is wrong. This clause says that I can obtain alchemy, and alchemy books are also a way for me to obtain them. Thus, I should be obtaining alchemy books for free, not paying for them."
Rouen shook his head. "I taught you alchemy, so I've already fulfilled my duty. I never said that you could obtain alchemy through any means."
"Okay," Chen Zhao said. "How about this? For every magic material you extract, I'll give you $100. If you make a standard magic tool, you'll get $1,000."
"You're exploiting me … I'm still underage!" Therma yelled in agitation.
"Think about it. You can extract at least a hundred magic materials a day. After you get used to it, how many standard magic tools can you make? Twenty? Or thirty? This means that you can earn more in a day than your father earns in half a year. "
Therma wanted to say something, but Chen Zhao said, "You only have one chance. You can answer my question now. Accept or reject."
"Err …"
"Think about it. If you work harder, you can earn more than a million dollars a month. What does that mean? Domron, who I once chose, can't even earn that much in a year, "Rouen said. "Also, you'll never be the only choice. Your mother's treatment and your unborn sister's condition will require you to provide them with better conditions."
"Okay, I agree …" Therma quickly said.
