44: Practical assessment!
Driving requires a driver's license!
Entering the Wilderness Area also requires a monster hunter certificate.
This item is the pass for Titan Warriors to enter and exit the Base City!
Without a monster hunter certificate, one cannot enter the Base City.
To obtain a monster hunter certificate, one must participate in the Monster Hunter Assessment.
The Monster Hunter Assessment is divided into two subjects: theory and practical combat.
The theoretical assessment is simple.
One only needs to go to the Titan Warrior Management Center and take a computer-based test.
The full score is 100 points.
As long as one gets 90 points or more, it is considered passing the assessment.
The practical combat assessment is relatively more troublesome.
Under the unified arrangement of the Titan Warrior Management Center, one must go to a specific examination site and fight Titan Beasts.
Only by hunting a certain number of monsters and not suffering too severe injuries will one be considered to have passed the assessment.
And the examination sites for practical combat assessment are generally in the Wilderness Area!
After the last incident, Yang Ling strictly forbade Zhang Fan from entering the Wilderness Area.
Zhang Fan was vexed by this, staying home every day to cultivate. He really wanted to go to the Wilderness Area to get some fresh air and kill some monsters.
But since Empress Dowager Yang didn't allow it, Zhang Fan had no choice. Participating in the practical combat assessment was a good compromise.
The next morning, while eating breakfast, Zhang Fan mentioned this.
Yang Ling's beautiful brows furrowed slightly, then relaxed, and she nodded, saying:
"As a Titan Warrior, a monster hunter certificate is indeed necessary!"
"Mom, you agreed?"
Zhang Fan was a bit delighted: "Then I'll sign up in a bit!"
"Go ahead and sign up!"
After breakfast.
Zhang Fan went to his room, opened the official website of the Titan Warrior Management Center, and registered online.
Registration, login, real-name authentication, Monster Hunter registration…
The entire process was completed easily in less than ten minutes.
Then he received two notifications.
The first notification was about the time and location of the theoretical assessment.
The location was the Titan Management Center, and the time was every workday.
The second notification was about the time and location of the practical combat assessment.
The practical combat assessment is only held twice a month, on the 1st and 16th.
Coincidentally, today was May 30th.
In other words.
Zhang Fan would take the theoretical assessment tomorrow and the practical combat assessment the day after tomorrow. If all went smoothly, he could get the certificate in two days.
"What good luck!"
Since he had to take the theoretical exam tomorrow, he needed to prepare today.
Zhang Fan downloaded the Monster Hunter Exam APP and spent the day doing practice questions.
The questions were not difficult.
They were all multiple-choice questions.
The content covered identifying Titan Beasts, Monster Hunter rules, Wilderness Area survival guides, precautions, and so on.
These posed no pressure for Zhang Fan. He went through the questions twice and did two sets of mock exams, scoring full marks both times.
The theoretical exam was a sure pass!
The next morning, Zhang Fan went to the Titan Warrior Management Center early to take the theoretical assessment.
He came out in less than half an hour, scoring a perfect 100 points.
The theoretical assessment was successfully passed!
After leaving the Management Center, Zhang Fan went to Vanke Riviera residential area.
During the half-month Zhang Fan was diligently cultivating at home, Guo Mi was not idle either, following real estate agents to look for and view houses everywhere.
Finally, at Vanke Riviera, near Lüdi Villa, she splurged 20 million to buy a second-hand large flat.
During a video call last night, Guo Mi invited Zhang Fan to visit her new home.
Taking advantage of being free today, Zhang Fan decided to go and see.
Arriving at the entrance of Vanke Riviera, Da Mimi was already waiting.
"Brother Zhang Fan!"
Guo Mi gave Zhang Fan a big hug, then intimately held his arm and led him into the residential area.
Vanke Riviera is a mid-to-high-end residential area, all large flats.
Guo Mi's apartment is in Building 18, with an area of 360 square meters, and the living room alone exceeds 80 square meters.
The apartment features an aluminum panel + glass curtain wall design, with the glass curtain wall accounting for over 90%, offering an unbeatable view.
The decoration goes without saying.
In this era, those who can afford such a house are either rich or noble.
So the decoration was extremely luxurious, bright, comfortable, and very grand.
Guo Mi told Zhang Fan that the previous owner of this apartment was a powerful Core Formation Realm Titan Warrior.
However, he unfortunately died in the Wilderness Area, and his family, unable to maintain their luxurious lifestyle, sold this large flat.
"Brother Zhang Fan, what do you think?" Da Mimi asked with a smile.
"Luxurious!"
Zhang Fan exclaimed: "I envy you, having your own place!"
Although Zhang Fan's family had a villa, it was bought by his parents.
Zhang Fan didn't own one himself.
So when Guo Mi bought such a luxurious house, he envied her from the bottom of his heart.
Guo Mi wrapped her arms around Zhang Fan's neck, her face flushed, and whispered:
"If you want to come in the future, you're always welcome here. Anyway, I bought this house to be with you..."
Due to shyness, Da Mimi stopped halfway, too embarrassed to continue.
Zhang Fan understood, smiled, and patted her butt: "Don't worry! As long as I have time, I'll come often!"
"Mmm!"
Guo Mi then led Zhang Fan to visit the bedroom. As soon as they entered the master bedroom, Da Mimi pounced on him and started kissing him.
"Are you a pig?"
"..."
Before long, unspeakable sounds echoed in the master bedroom.
...
At 5 AM on June 1st, Zhang Fan was woken up by his alarm. After a quick wash, Zhang Fan hurried out.
He drove to the Titan Warrior Management Center, arriving precisely at 6 AM.
The practical combat assessment required going to the Wilderness Area, so they had to gather early.
It was just dawn, and the Management Center hall was already filled with people.
These people, like Zhang Fan, were also there to participate in the practical combat assessment.
Most were young people, but there were also middle-aged individuals in their thirties and forties.
In this world, Titan Warriors from ordinary families with ordinary aptitudes are the mainstream of Titan Warriors.
The cultivation speed of such Titan Warriors is often very slow.
It often takes several years, or even more than ten years, for them to achieve a small success in the Qi Refining Realm before they come to participate in the Monster Hunter Assessment.
Therefore, a considerable portion of those participating in the practical combat assessment were middle-aged, while young people were in the minority.
According to the procedure, the assessment team was scheduled to depart promptly at 6:30 AM.
It was only 6 AM, so there was still half an hour of waiting time.
Zhang Fan found a chair and sat down, playing on his phone to pass the time.
"Zhang Fan?"
Suddenly, someone called him.
Without looking, just by the voice, Zhang Fan knew who it was.
His ex-girlfriend, Wang Hui!
Zhang Fan didn't want to bother with her, pretending not to hear, and continued playing on his phone.
However, Wang Hui didn't intend to let him go and quickly walked over:
"Zhang Fan, is it really you? Are you also participating in the practical combat assessment?"
"Zhang Fan, why aren't you talking? Answer me!"
"Zhang Fan, we were together for three years after all. Even if we broke up, it shouldn't be like we're enemies, right?"
Seeing that Zhang Fan kept ignoring her, Wang Hui got a little angry and reached out to push Zhang Fan.
Zhang Fan slapped Wang Hui's hand away and said coldly: "Can you get lost? You're annoying, you know that?"
"You..."
Wang Hui's face turned ashen with anger: "Zhang Fan, can't you be more virtuous with your words? I didn't offend you, did I?"
"Get out!"
Zhang Fan said impatiently.
"Huihui, who's this punk, acting all high and mighty?"
A man's voice sounded.
"Brother Wang, his name is Zhang Fan, he's my... classmate!" Wang Hui said.
"Your classmate, huh? I thought some demigod had descended!"
Wang Peng sneered and pushed Zhang Fan: "Come on! Let me see what kind of ass your punk classmate looks like?"
