Chapter 108: Justice Siege!

The exam supervisor's voice came over, indeed just as Zhang Jie had said, it was a sudden test.

The voice over the broadcast specifically praised Zhang Jie's team, calling them the first squad to slay a nightmare.

"Your scores have been graded and recorded by the teachers; the exam is now stopped. Please exit the game in an orderly fashion..."

"Wow, you actually got it right, Jie Ge."

Liu Delie scratched his head, thinking, "Jie Ge truly lives up to his reputation."

"That's it."

"Um... uh..."

Yu Xiaomo wanted to speak but held back; earlier, her provocation had annoyed Zhang Jie, so he had specifically ruled that she must not speak casually without the leader's permission.

This is also why she has seemed quiet lately.

"Since the exam is over, what is that over there?"

The two followed Yu Xiaomo's pointed direction and saw a distorted nightmare standing silently in the distance, its body covered in eyeballs, each staring fixedly at them.

Zhang Jie:?

A sense of crisis and oppression surged; looking at the monster's bizarre, twisted form and the thick black mist coiling around it, Zhang Jie was certain this was a genuine nightmare!

"Jie Ge, should we go up and take him on?"

"What the heck! That thing is a real natural disaster!"

Liu Delie still thought the exam hadn't ended, grabbed his shotgun and charged forward, but turned to see Zhang Jie already five meters away.

"Hey! Wait for me!"

Yu Xiaomo didn't need to say anything; when Zhang Jie turned to slip away, she realized that among the three, Liu Delie was the most naive.

Seeing the three turn and flee, the nightmare's huge mouth on its belly grotesquely split open, its twisted body poised to chase.

But the next moment, its eerie grin froze...

Suddenly, a towering nightmare wolf over two meters tall, imposing and fierce, appeared before it, staring it down.

Beside the giant wolf was a nightmare bird crackling with lightning and thunder.

The powerful aura left the little nightmare dazed; it stepped back two steps, only to bump into a hard object.

Then, the nightmare was lifted up like a chick.

A muscular nightmare brute slapped it hard, and the nightmare let out a painful howl.

The brute nightmare stood over three meters tall, its muscles like steel, its chest faintly flashing red light, with red veins spreading from its chest across its body.

Besides this brute nightmare, there was another of normal size, entirely purple, and though it looked frail, it was no less formidable.

On its back, eight thick tentacles waved, each tipped with a black, icy curved blade, looking formidable.

The little nightmare looked at the four similar creatures around it, glaring hostilely, wondering why they were attacking it.

"Vomiting roar! Wah-wah-wah howl!"

It tried to negotiate with its kin, but instead faced a righteous siege by four nightmares.

Inside the Dream Monitoring Room.

"Where did this nightmare come from?!"

"Quick! Kick the students out of the room!"

The next moment, Zhang Jie and his companions' running figures vanished instantly; just as the teachers breathed a sigh of relief, four nightmares suddenly appeared.

Afterward, the teachers stared bewildered as the weak nightmare was subjected to a righteous beatdown by the four big guys.

"How did the nightmares start fighting each other?"

"I don't know."

Soon, the weak nightmare turned into a puddle of black‑mist‑filled viscous liquid under the four big guys' assault; then the giant wolf nightmare lowered its head and sucked up the liquid like a dragon drinking water.

Afterward, the four nightmares vanished before everyone's eyes, leaving the watching teachers staring at each other.

This scene was indeed rather strange.

"Let's delete this world, so those nightmares won't have a chance to escape."

This suggestion gained agreement from all the teachers, and of course the Dream Builder as well.

Although constructing this world had cost a lot of energy and hair, letting those strange nightmares escape would be disastrous.

Little did they know, the four nightmares they had seen had already left this dream world.

Meanwhile, fleeing Zhang Jie only felt a flash before his eyes, and the three were kicked straight out of the room into the exam preparation hall.

"I'm back?"

Zhang Jie looked around; his hanging heart finally settled, and his two companions felt the same.

At that moment, a podium appeared at the other end of the hall, and the chief examiner began calling the students over.

Then came the public announcement of the top fifty rankings, and the corresponding students were called up to receive their awards.

As Zhang Jie headed for the podium, a sudden burning sensation came from his arm, making him frown.

"What's going on?"

It seemed his four nightmares had returned, possibly bringing him something.

"Never mind, I'll check later."

Zhang Jie pretended nothing had happened, walked up to the podium, and began accepting his award.

As expected, Zhang Jie steadily secured first place, discarding any formal or bookish teaching; in actual combat he was the strongest.

Zhang Jie's reward was a valuable 'module', unlike equipment that boosts stats; a module is a tool that allows using other game systems within the game.

For example, the 'Forging Module' Zhang Jie obtained lets him forge fine tools and weapons in other games, making it a very practical module.

If he were in a resource‑scarce survival game, he could develop faster than others and his chances of clearing the game would increase.

Liu Delie and Yu Xiaomo, meanwhile, chose the items they had long decided on, which raise the odds of becoming a player.

Although this item can increase the probability, the restrictions are also relatively large; first, as mentioned before, only those under 15 years old can use it.

Then, each person can use it only once, and the amount of probability increase for each person is completely random.

The exam supervisor will distribute the rewards to you and emphasizes that, besides the module, any reward that can increase the probability is strictly prohibited from being transferred!

"After the reward distribution, Yu Xiaomo also kept her promise and handed over the item that originally belonged to her to you."

"You did not choose to accept it; first of all, the school strictly prohibits transferring this thing, you yourself cannot use it, and Liu Delie also has one himself, so using it a second time is impossible."

"When facing the nightmare earlier, without knowing it was a false nightmare, she helped you dodge a strike, and later she also kept her promise by handing the item to you, which greatly improved your impression of her."

"Most importantly, she is now your lackey just like Liu Delie! You immediately waved your hand, refused her item, and told her it was a reward the boss gave her out of kindness; Yu Xiaomo also unexpectedly did not argue with you as usual, which made you feel a bit unaccustomed."

"You told the teacher about your encounter with the nightmare, but the other party said you don't need to worry, the nightmare you mentioned has already been resolved."

"You are very puzzled, faintly feeling that this matter is related to yourself."

(Sorry, adoptive fathers, I'm a bit stuck today and also have a fever, so maybe only two chapters.)
