Chapter 1268

~8 min read 1,581 words

That's right! Drilling under the table is fine, isn't it?

After receiving the reminder from the Double Fish Director, a group of participating cleaners couldn't help but suddenly realize.

These perverts with "talent," no matter how intense the commotion they made, only collided with each other above the desktop and never invaded under the table, and the position below their chests really didn't suffer any attacks.

Really... if you could do this, why didn't you say it earlier?

Not without resentment, looking at the Double Fish Director who closed his eyes, more than two-thirds of the cleaners couldn't bear the exam environment that was worse than torture, and one after another drilled under the table impatiently, escaping the increasingly fierce dragon-and-tiger fight above, their faces full of the joy of surviving a disaster.

It's just that after drilling under the table, because they couldn't see the "tree" behind the Double Fish Director, the drawing on the test paper naturally couldn't be continued, no matter how gorgeous their "tree" was, the score was completely fixed at the current level.

Okay, the first batch of 0-point waste has been screened out.

The black and white eyeballs circled the field outside the dream bubble, recorded all the cleaners who chose to drill under the table, the Double Fish Director sitting cross-legged on the podium picked up a pen and drew zero eggs one by one on the beast-skin notebook.

The upper limit of a cleaner's ability is their own talent, while the lower limit of ability is the courage to face danger and the perseverance to never give up in adversity.

If in this safe environment where you not only won't die but won't even really get hurt, you don't have the courage to fight for it, then no matter how good your talent is, it is estimated that there will be no chance to cash it in.

You must know that the Cleaning Bureau's opponents are countless, and the abilities of various anomalous objects are even more varied. No one can guarantee that they won't flip over in their lifetime. Even as strong as the Twelve Directors, it is inevitable to encounter a few desperate situations that seem to be certain death.

If you don't even think about fighting for it when you have been told that you are absolutely safe, then when you really step on a dead end one day, how can you have the courage to face life and death? Such people will definitely not become anything, even if they really have dog-shit luck, sending their lives is sooner or later.

Hmm... forget it, let's give the drillers 1 point, giving all 0 points is a bit too absolute.

Looking at the waste who drilled under the table, those who hadn't completely given up but were gritting their teeth and occasionally sticking their heads out to take a look, then lying on the chair and continuing to draw, the Double Fish Director hesitated slightly, and then changed the score again.

Those who drill under the table and don't get up are still zero eggs. This kind of cowardly thing is not worth looking forward to, but the remaining cleaners who are still poking their heads are barely worth the 1-point attitude score.

Although they lack the courage to face life and death, and after being told that they won't die and can polish their own talent, they still dare not fight, but as long as they don't give up directly, they are still worth saving. If they experience two more life-and-death crises, there is a possibility of practicing their courage.

But those are things for the future. The remaining one-third who are sitting in chairs, screaming while gritting their teeth and insisting on drawing, are the pillars of the bureau's future. No matter how long they can persist, and no matter what they can draw, everyone is worth a passing score of 30 points.

After looking at the remaining cleaners with gratification, and completing the basic scoring one by one amidst their miserable ghost-crying and wolf-howling, the Double Fish Director withdrew his eyes and began to wait for the remaining people to show their talents to their heart's content.

And under the heavy pressure of the predecessors' "talent," the brains of the remaining hundred-plus cleaners could no longer hold any extra thoughts, all of them were writing furiously, almost burning themselves out.

In less than three minutes, all the cleaners who hadn't drilled under the table had finished their test papers, showing their unique talents.

Rusty chains, holeless masks, fox heads with blue flames burning in the eye sockets;

Stitched dolls, withered mazes, music boxes with two skeletons dancing in an embrace;

All kinds of strange imagery, under the suppression of gloomy gray mist and flying feathers all over the sky, extremely difficultly penetrated from the test paper, protecting the cleaners next to them who were already exhausted from drawing, like a group of unlucky eggs who fell into the sewer, floating and drifting in the turbid yellow flow.

And besides these cleaners whose talent was insufficient and only barely held on without being swallowed, there were about twenty elites who showed talent that was far inferior to flying feathers and gray mist but was similar to turbid flow. The bull-horned man on Li Ang's left was one of them.

"Heh, I underestimated you."

Holding the neck of the centipede ant he drew, after glancing at Li Ang, who was covered in cracks from the gray mist and charred black by the flying feathers, almost no longer in human form, the bull-horned man couldn't help but sneer, and mocked without concealment: "I didn't expect that although your talent is not very good, you are quite capable of enduring!"

"..."

Is there such a possibility that I'm not actually capable of enduring, but I didn't feel the pain at all?

【Through the creator's detailed explanation, as well as your own observation and summary, you have obtained a large amount of information about "between talents," and the exotic badge "Materialist Soul (Crimson)" is activated.

Because you have thoroughly understood the operation rules of this anomalous object, your resistance to this anomalous object has increased significantly, and you are already able to shield extremely deep influences.】

After turning off the popped-up panel, Li Ang, whose flesh and blood on his face were fading rapidly and whose face was replaced by a holeless mask, turned his head sideways, glanced at the bull-horned man covered in scars, and responded quite politely:

"It's okay, you're not bad either."

"?!"

Listening to Li Ang's answer without any trembling, looking at his weird body that was being crazily eroded by various "talents" and was already more like a monster than a human, the bull-horned man's pupils couldn't help but shrink sharply.

With his own "talent" protecting him, he only needed to bear the aftermath of two or three kinds of "talents," and he was already in pain with his muscles tense. And this kid had more than forty kinds of other people's talents, which were crazily pulling and sawing back and forth, how could he still sit there like a person who was fine?

Looking at Li Ang, who turned his head back after answering him, sat upright in his chair, and had no reaction at all, the bull-horned man couldn't help but fall into silence.

This kid... is a bit outrageous!

And the woman next to him who was talking big is the same. The talent shown by that yellow woman was only slightly worse than the "Angel" and "Death God," so the words she said before about being confident in poisoning everyone and helping this kid take first place were likely not just bragging.

In this case... even if I can't completely eliminate this kid, I must do something to suppress his score as much as possible!

"Your Excellency Double Fish!"

After sizing up Li Ang and the other two with fear, the bull-horned man shouted at the podium in the distance:

"I have finished the test paper, can I move around a little?"

Hmm?

Hearing the bull-horned man's words, the Double Fish Director raised his eyelids and glanced at him, and then said with interest:

"How do you want to move around? Let's hear it."

"I want to sit closer to others."

After scanning Li Ang, who was covered in scars, with his peripheral vision, the bull-horned man's mouth curled slightly, and then he smiled with malice:

"When my 'talent' approaches others and adds pressure to them, other people's 'talent' is also approaching me, adding extra pressure to me... I shouldn't be violating the rules by doing this, right?"

"Not violating."

Glancing at Li Ang, who was already no longer human but was still sitting in his position completely relaxed, the Double Fish Director's white eyebrows couldn't help but tremble, and then he nodded slightly:

"Bearing the pressure brought by other people's 'talent' is originally part of this exam. You are willing to get close to whoever you want, I have no opinion, and I even welcome you to do so.

In addition, there is one thing I can reveal to you: the specific ranking of this assessment will be calculated according to the length of time you persist. Only when there is only one person left will this assessment completely end... Alright, that's all I have to say, you can go do what you want to do."
