At the entrance of the 100 bars, the 100 participants who had drawn black No.1 card passed their Emperor's Heart Rings and storage rings to the staff who were dressed in hunter uniforms.
Each of them took three bronze-level equipment. Most of them took one piece of armor and two weapons. A minority of them took two pieces of armor and one weapon.
The people behind them were excited when they saw someone put on two pieces of bronze-level equipment. They thought it was a good idea.
The defense of a bronze-level equipment was limited. It would not be effective against a silver-level rank-3 monster. Wearing two layers of equipment would increase the defense. At least, that was what most of them thought.
However, Lin Huang and a minority of them shook their heads as they thought it was not a good idea.
When the equipment was in its ring form, it would be weightless. Once the equipment was activated, the weight would return to normal. Although the equipment was made of special materials and was much lighter than normal equipment, it would weigh between 15 to 20 kilograms after the equipment was activated. Wearing one piece of equipment would not affect a person much but wearing two pieces of equipment would definitely decrease one's speed and agility. In this round of assessment, what they needed the most was speed and agility.
To most of the participants, a silver-level rank-3 monster was invincible. In such a narrow space, the only thing they could do was to avoid the monster's attacks and escape to the corridor on the other side of the monster cage. Under such circumstances, even one second late would result in failure. Therefore, the act of wearing two pieces of METAL to protect oneself was actually a very stupid action that reduced one's mobility.
Moreover, there was no difference between one and two bronze-level equipment in front of a silver-level rank-3 monster. No matter if it was one piece of paper or two pieces of paper, a knife would pierce through it.
As the first batch of people entered the cage, the place became crowded.
Although they could not see what was going on inside, they could hear the roars of the monsters coming from the corridor.
In less than a minute after the first batch of people entered, a voice came from the loudspeaker, "Candidate No.1 in monster cage No.62 has been eliminated! Candidate No.2 can enter now. "
Many of the nervous candidates became even more nervous as someone was eliminated in less than a minute.
About two minutes later, the voice came from the loudspeaker again.
"Candidate No.1 in monster cage No.13 has been eliminated! Candidate No.2 can enter now. "
After that, the loudspeaker shell would ring every once in a while.
"Participant No.1 in Monster Shed No.18Has been eliminated! Candidate number two can prepare to enter now. "
"Monster Shed No.97, candidate No.1 has been eliminated …"
"Monster Shed No.55, candidate No.1 has been eliminated …"
"Monster shed No.43, candidate No.1 has been eliminated …"
…
Many people outside began to lose confidence when they heard the continuous notifications of being eliminated.
"Participant No.1 of Monster Shed No.66 is dead! Candidate number two can prepare to enter now. "
Lin Huang raised an eyebrow when he heard the notification as he happened to be in Monster Shed No.66.
This voice caused many people's expressions to change drastically.
There was actually someone who died during the test!
Many people thought that the chief examiner was just trying to scare people when he said that there were no safety measures. But now that someone had died in the examination hall, it meant that the chief examiner's previous words weren't just to scare people.
After the news of the death spread, a staff member suddenly ran over and whispered something into the head examiner Jiang Sen's ear.
Jiang Sen nodded and looked at candidate No.2 who was standing in front of Monster Shed No.66.
"What are you looking at, continue with the test!"
Jiang Sen frowned as he watched Candidate No.2 enter Monster Shed No.66 in fear. He did not expect the first monster in Monster Shed No.66 to mutate so quickly. Due to the increasing difficulty of the test, he was considering if he should inform the candidates who picked Monster Shed No.66. Or if he should just keep it a secret.
Just as he was still hesitating, the sound of the loudspeaker suddenly sounded again.
"Participant No.2 of Monster Shed No.66 is dead! Candidate No.3 can prepare to enter now. "
Many people noticed that something was wrong with the death of two people in Monster Shed No.66. The first monster in the monster shed might be much more powerful than the other monsters in the other cages.
Just as candidate No.3 was about to enter, the head examiner Jiang Sen shouted at him, "That's enough, don't go in now."
That examinee immediately stopped in his tracks, not moving an inch.
Jiang Sen then took out a loudspeaker and explained, "Attention please, candidates in Monster Shed No.66. The first monster in Monster Shed No.66Has just mutated, resulting in a significant increase in intelligence and ability. Due to special circumstances, we'll make an exception for this test. Candidates who would like to change to another monster shed can register with the staff and choose a new monster shed number. Those who remain will continue with the test based on the sequence of their numbers. "
Most of the candidates left the queue after hearing the announcement. They swarmed towards the staff and requested to change to another monster shed.
Only a few of them, including Lin Huang, stayed in the queue.
Lin Huang was supposed to be No.23. As most of the candidates left the queue, there were only two of them left.
He was happy to see that happen. He would only need to wait for an hour before he could take the test.
However, many people looked at the candidates who stayed in the queue as if they were idiots.
"Are these guys still trying to be heroes at a time like this?"
"There's a price to pay for acting tough. It'll be too late for regrets if they die in there."
"Even if they pass the test in Monster Shed No.66, there's no difference between them and the other monster sheds. Is it really necessary to work so hard?"
Someone who had bought the weed crystal from Lin Huang shouted at him, "Lin Huang, change to another queue. There's no benefit for you to stay in Monster Shed No.66."
"Of course there's a benefit!" Lin Huang turned around and smiled at the person. "Now that there are fewer people in our queue, I can pass the test earlier."
His reply made many of them speechless.
Most of the candidates left Monster Shed No.66, reducing Lin Huang's queue from 55 to 5. There were two people in front of Lin Huang and two people behind him.
Those candidates who left Monster Shed No.66 had to queue at the end of the queue.
Soon, the assessment for Monster Shed No.66 started again.
The candidate who ranked first picked two weapons and a set of armor confidently and walked into the monster shed.
Lin Huang had high hopes for the candidate as well. He was a muscular young man who looked like he was very mature. Moreover, his combat level was bronze-level rank-3 and he could level up to silver-level anytime.
As the sound of the loudspeaker continued to ring, finally, the first notification sound of passing the test was heard.
"Congratulations to Monster Shed No.37. Candidate No.1, Xia Yu, has passed the third assessment after walking through the corridor of the monster shed!"
"That girl, Xia Yu? She's quite capable. The assessment has only started for less than 20 minutes and she's the first one to pass the assessment. " Lin Huang raised his eyebrow and made up his mind to pass the assessment faster than Xia Yu.
Just when everyone was excited about the news, another notification came from the loudspeaker. Many of them frowned and looked in the direction where Lin Huang and the rest were.
"Candidate No.11 in Monster Shed No.66 is dead!"
Even the head examiner, Jiang Sen, could not help but frown again. "Forget it, there are only four people left in Monster Shed No.66. Let's not waste any more time. Come and register with another queue!"
After hearing what the head examiner had said, besides Lin Huang, the rest of them walked towards the staff. Lin Huang stood in front of the monster shed alone.
"Sir, I'd like to try." Lin Huang looked at Jiang Sen.
"Three people have died. Aren't you afraid?" Jiang Sen turned his head and looked at Lin Huang.
"Silver-level monsters aren't worthy of my fear." Lin Huang smiled and shook his head.
"Brat, being arrogant when you're capable is called confidence. However, being arrogant when you're not capable is called stupidity. "Jiang Sen glared at Lin Huang.
"I'll prove with my ability that I'm the former."
Without waiting for Jiang Sen's reply, Lin Huang took out two modified CopperSparrow23s and a bronze-level battle sword from his Emperor's Heart Ring. He then placed all the rings on his finger into his Emperor's Heart Ring and threw the Emperor's Heart Ring into the box that the staff kept.
To many of them, his action was akin to seeking death. However, some of them were looking forward to it.
"Can you open the door now?" Lin Huang looked at Jiang Sen without hesitation.
Jiang Sen stared at Lin Huang for a while and nodded at the person next to him. "Open the door for him!"
