65: Chapter 65, 700 points! Killing two bosses per minute?!

The other examiners were not idle at this moment either.

They were busy fulfilling their duties, observing the situations of the other candidates.

The candidates who had performed well in the previous round were, in particular, the top priority for observation.

Su Youwei, ranked second, was twisting and turning in the surveillance footage, dodging the monsters' attacks.

The difficulty level of the monsters she chose was not particularly high; they were merely mutated ordinary-grade monsters.

Therefore, her overall combat appeared effortless.

She could ensure that every time a new wave spawned, she perfectly resolved the fight in about 3 minutes.

Sometimes she could even finish off the monsters early, ensuring she had time to recover her mental energy.

"Not bad. Her estimation and judgment of her own strength are very precise. She should be able to kill all the monsters in this half-hour period."

"Although the points for each one aren't that high, the advantage lies in killing them all. It's a very smart choice."

Meanwhile, Zhang Qiaoyun, who was ranked third, was not so lucky.

She had chosen the mutated elite-grade.

Her strength was inherently weaker than Su Youwei's, only at the 4th stage of the 1st rank. She had originally wanted to rely on higher points to improve her ranking in this round.

However, she hadn't expected that the first monster to appear would be a thick-skinned fellow, which she couldn't resolve in a short time at all.

And when the three-minute mark was reached, a second mutated elite-grade monster immediately spawned.

The Feather Archer class is inherently a squishy class; being besieged by two mutated elite-grade monsters left her with no power to fight back.

For a moment, she didn't even have a chance to deal damage.

And when the third mutated elite-grade monster appeared,

Zhang Qiaoyun had no choice but to helplessly choose to surrender.

This counted as withdrawing from the third round of assessment early, and she could only obtain a small amount of points based on her performance.

"As expected, she was too careless. I'm afraid someone has always been helping her draw aggro while she was leveling up, leading her to underestimate the monsters' damage. It's a pity..."

Although the examiner said it was a pity, there was no emotional fluctuation on their face.

They had seen such things too many times.

The purpose of the grand exam was precisely to filter out these situations.

Otherwise, it would be a waste if a genius, cultivated with great effort and a large amount of resources, ended up being killed because they rashly challenged monsters due to arrogance.

That would be a waste, wouldn't it?

Meanwhile, the performance of Zhang Qiaoyun's partner, Luo Yun, was extremely eye-catching.

Holding a giant shield, Luo Yun, through adjusting his positioning and utilizing his terrifying defensive power, forcibly blocked seven or eight mutated elite-grade monsters in front of him.

Although he couldn't even chip away at these monsters' health bars,

as a tank defensive class, the assessment of defensive power was the top priority.

"Not bad. Let's see how long he can hold out like this. If he can hold out until the end, he should be able to catch up in the rankings."

The group of examiners checked the footage of all the candidates one by one.

However, as time passed,

the number of candidates still continuing the assessment grew fewer and fewer.

Most, like Zhang Qiaoyun, chose to withdraw early for the sake of their own safety.

Therefore, the examiners were becoming more and more relaxed.

"Huh? How is it over on Lin Mo's side?"

When there were only three minutes left,

someone curiously adjusted the surveillance screen to Lin Mo's side.

Swoosh!

In the footage, Lin Mo's steel blade traced a beautiful arc.

He directly killed the mutated BOSS-grade monster in front of him with a single slash.

"..."

"Uh... can someone tell me how many he has already killed?"

Su Qianxue shrugged, "Right now? Already 63."

"What?!"

"63 mutated BOSSes?" These examiners were all somewhat dumbfounded.

Lin Mo's combat footage was truly too boring; everything was a one-hit kill.

There was nothing worth recording, so they hadn't really checked it much afterward.

Hearing this number suddenly, they found it somewhat hard to accept.

"27 minutes, 63 of them..."

"That means... he can kill at least two per minute???"

Su Qianxue nodded, "This kid is quite cunning; he's been camping the spawn point the whole time now."

"As soon as I press 'respawn', the new mutated BOSS just barely takes form, and he immediately attacks."

"Only a lucky few can make him expend a little effort."

Although there was some disdain in Su Qianxue's words,

the expression on her face was filled with satisfaction.

The other examiners also looked at each other.

One of the examiners couldn't help but remind her: "This... wouldn't this be too exaggerated? The points for killing one mutated BOSS are 100..."

"The difficulty chosen by others will probably only get them 200 at most...

He already has over 600 now...

If this gets out... wouldn't it be bad? How about we give a discount?"

The other few examiners were thoughtful, seemingly considering it as well.

Su Qianxue frowned slightly, "What if it gets out? He has the strength, so give him what he deserves.

Did you forget that the grand exam scores will also be converted into points?

You want to shortchange Lin Mo's points? Are you not afraid of Lin Mo settling the score after he finds out later?"

The examiner who made the suggestion turned pale upon hearing this.

They hurriedly shook their head.

The other examiners also stopped mentioning this.

They only secretly grumbled in their hearts.

This woman doesn't know how to exercise restraint.

Since these mutated BOSSes can no longer threaten Lin Mo, she should have generated fewer...

Isn't this just purely farming points for Lin Mo?

Su Qianxue could, of course, guess what the others were thinking.

However, she didn't care at all.

Instead, the corners of her mouth lifted slightly.

This little guy calls her 'Auntie', after all.

As one of the examiners,

how could she not strive for more benefits for her nephew?

...

Soon, the mechanical voice sounded once again.

[The second round of assessment has ended. The following are the scores for each candidate.]

Swoosh!

A light screen appeared before all the candidates.

[NO.1: Lin Mo, Mutated BOSS-grade, 700 points, cumulative 820 points]

[NO.2: Su Youwei, Mutated Ordinary-grade, 198 points, cumulative 298 points]

[NO.3: Luo Yun, Mutated Elite-grade, 195 points, cumulative 278 points]

...

Zhang Qiaoyun, who was originally ranked third, saw her ranking drop directly to around the 100th place because her score in this round was too low.

But she didn't care about this at the moment.

Instead, she stared at Lin Mo's score and couldn't help but exclaim.

"700 points??? Mutated BOSS?"

"What the hell is this guy? Is he a pervert???? Doesn't this mean he killed seventy mutated BOSSes?"

"Is this something a human can do?"

"Why? On what grounds?"

Similar exclamations also continued to come from the mouths of other candidates.

This score was truly too exaggerated.

Some even suspected whether there was a problem with the data.

How could this possibly be something humanly achievable?

Only Su Youwei was not surprised by this score.

She only had a slightly lost expression on her face.

"This guy is so amazing. It feels like he can already contend with 2nd-rank opponents at the 7th stage of the 1st rank."

"It seems if I want to bring him along to level up, I still need to work hard; I need to reach at least the 3rd rank!"

"Once I reach the 3rd rank, I should be qualified to bring him along!"

"Lin Mo, don't worry!"

"I will continue to work hard!"
