The projector on the podium lowered, and the image gradually appeared.
"Hey, it's starting so soon?" Some people were still in a daze. It was so fast.
In the image, there were ripples on the calm surface of the water, and there was no end in sight. A gentle breeze blew, and large waves suddenly rolled up on the surface of the sea.
A snow-white back broke through the surface of the sea and disappeared in a flash.
The camera dived into the bottom of the sea, and a huge figure could be vaguely seen swimming in the sea.
Then, it noticed the camera and curiously circled around it.
In the process of circling, the figure of the sea monster could be clearly seen. It looked a little like a dolphin, but because there was no reference in the sea, one could only estimate its size. It was at least ten to twenty meters long.
"Chirp chirp ~" It cried out from time to time, and finally, its whole head came up, and its sharp beak pierced out like a long stick. With a snap, the camera went black …
The examiner coughed. "Okay, this is the first video. You have fifteen minutes to think and write. Write down the characteristics of this monster that you have observed from this video."
The group of candidates below was confused. What is this? Where did this monster come from? Is this a new species? What can I observe from this small amount of footage?!
In Gao Peng's eyes, there was another image …
[Monster Name]: Storm Dolphin
[Monster Likes]: 1. Likes soothing light music 2. Likes sunbathing 3. Likes eating all kinds of squid and exploding prawns
[Monster Weakness]: 1. Afraid of dark-type attacks 2. Hates noisy sound waves, which can cause serious interference.
The content that appeared was different from normal situations, and the data that appeared seemed to be influenced by one's own subjective consciousness.
Gao Peng was not embarrassed. It was his own ability, and naturally, he felt at ease writing it down. There was nothing to be embarrassed about.
Next, four short videos were released, and they were all new species that these people had never seen before. They were all new monsters that were recently discovered by the research team.
This question seemed difficult, but in fact, if one had a deep understanding of the habits of monsters, they could infer some of the habits of similar species based on their preferences.
For example, there were similarities in the habits of apes, and there were similarities in the habits of different spiders.
The written exam, which lasted for one and a half hours, ended quickly, and the papers were put away.
Marking the papers did not take much time, and all five hundred papers were marked in half an hour.
"Now, I will announce the names of those who have entered the second stage." The examiner looked down at the name list in his hand and read, "Chen Xueqin, Zhang Senlin … Gao Peng."
After the names were read out, the fat man sitting on the right side of Gao Peng, who had been clamoring that he would definitely not pass the test, heaved a sigh of relief. "Sigh, I barely passed." After that, he said to Gao Peng, who was sitting on his left, "Little brother, this exam is really too difficult. I only passed the first round by luck. Maybe I will be eliminated in the second round."
"Yes." Gao Peng nodded steadily. "I was lucky enough to pass."
"Ha?" Fatty was dumbfounded. Then, he comforted himself. This kid's luck is pretty good. Fatty took back the words he wanted to say.
Gao Peng stood up and followed the examiner to the second stage. He noticed that Nanny Li had also passed the first stage. He thought for a moment. After all, she was someone who had taken the exam three times … She must have gone through hundreds of battles.
Little did he know that Nanny Li was even more surprised. This little boy was her daughter's classmate. He looked like he had just reached adulthood, but he had actually passed the first stage. It really made the adults feel ashamed.
Following the examiner inside, the surrounding space suddenly lit up and became spacious. Above their heads were rows of steel frames that looked like bones. Under their feet was a rough cement floor. Some plants were planted in the four corners of the hall.
In the center of the hall were cages filled with all kinds of monsters.
However, these monsters were all relatively rare. Perhaps they were not very strong, but they were all relatively rare. Some of them were even monsters that were unique to the south. Chang 'an was located in the north of China.
The most insane thing was that these monsters were randomly distributed. You had no idea what kind of monster you would be assigned.
No wonder the internet said that the Monster Breeder certificate was very difficult to obtain … and it was one of the most difficult certificates.
Gao Peng finally understood why. To be able to pass the test of such difficulty, one must be very capable.
"Gao Peng, number 50." The examiner paused for a moment, then handed the identification card to Gao Peng. He looked at Gao Peng hesitantly, then finally couldn't help but say, "If you want to change, I can help you apply for it for free. You can come back next month and directly enter the second stage."
Gao Peng looked at the examiner, puzzled.
The examiner shrugged. "The monsters that participate in the assessment are all raised by the Monster Breeder Association, so they are basically non-aggressive. Number 50 should have been eliminated, but the association has no extra monsters for you to raise."
At the end of the row of cages, there was an especially eye-catching cage. Inside it lay a huge, deformed creature. Its head was drooping, and it breathed weakly. Its arms were as thick as two water tanks, and its body lay on the ground. It was so quiet that it looked like it had been abandoned by the whole world.
"This is … a Red River Ape?" Gao Peng didn't use his ability. Instead, he judged it with his eyes.
"Yes." The examiner nodded and sighed. He looked at the Red River Ape with a complicated expression.
The examiner was also a human. Ever since this Red River Ape had been captured and brought to the association, it had been used as a test subject.
Speaking of which, it was unknown whether this Red River Ape was lucky or unlucky. Its vitality and resistance were extremely tenacious, so it was able to endure every test. Unfortunately, every time it encountered a contestant, it would meet a half-baked one.
A whole half a year had passed, and it had survived six failed tests. If it had been any other monster in the same batch as it, they would have either succeeded or been completely crippled. Only this Red River Ape was still stubbornly holding on.
"Because it has been tested too many times, its body has accumulated a large amount of discarded and conflicting energy. It has far exceeded the normal difficulty. The possibility of it being able to upgrade is too low. The reason it has been able to hold on until now is because of its strong willpower, "the examiner advised.
"Thank you for your kindness, but I've decided to take it." Gao Peng turned his head, and his eyes met the Red River Ape's through the gaps of the countless cages.
How could he wait for a month?
The sooner he got his Monster Breeder license, the sooner he could find a part-time job. Every minute and every second was money. Most importantly, he had already told Uncle Liu and his homeroom teacher that he was going to take the Monster Breeder exam. Gao Peng couldn't accept the outcome of going back empty-handed.
"Alright." The examiner was just doing his duty to remind Gao Peng. Seeing that this little boy didn't accept his kindness, he wouldn't force him.
There were many empty rooms around the hall. Everyone could choose an empty room to live in. There were things like beds and blankets inside. The duration of the exam was one week. As long as they succeeded in upgrading within a week, they would be eligible.
The cages containing the monsters had wheels under them, so they could be easily pushed into the room.
As the cage was pushed, the Red River Ape lying inside glanced at Gao Peng.
Gao Peng carefully observed the Red River Ape at a close distance.
Its physique was two times larger than the average Red River Ape. The average Red River Ape was between one and a half to two meters tall. It was a small ape species.
However, the Red River Ape in the cage looked to be at least two and a half meters tall.
Its swollen arms were somewhat twisted and deformed. Its entire body was like a clay doll that had been carelessly molded. Some parts of its torso were swollen. Its breathing was heavy, like the sound of a worn-out bellows.
