"Everyone, the first assessment is complete. Now, we will announce your scores."

The host announced the results in a steady voice: "In this assessment, a total of thirty-seven people were eliminated, leaving sixty-three contestants. The top ten are divided into Class A, and their list is as follows. Congratulations to all the Grim Reaper candidates. The next twenty to thirty are divided into Class B, and their list is as follows. The next ten are Class C, and the last remaining people are divided into Class F."

"After announcing everyone's rankings, the next step for all participants is the first round of assessment. The questions for this assessment will be created by the students from each class. If a student draws a question that results in the elimination of the entire class, then the entire class that created the question will advance and take the place of the eliminated student."

"Huh?! That's incredible?! Doesn't that mean it can directly replace Class A?!"

The other members of Class F were also shocked. They were initially happy to have avoided elimination, but now they'd been assigned to the worst class. They never expected the show to have this kind of mechanism?! A sudden reversal at any time?!

The host waited until the room quieted down again before continuing, "If not everyone is eliminated, how many students from each exam class will be eliminated, and how many students from the exam-setting team will advance?"

"What?! What kind of rules are these?! Isn't this just making us fight amongst ourselves?!"

"It's alright. If everyone works together to eliminate everyone from the class taking the exam, then everyone can advance, right?"

"Can't you see how high the scores are in Class A?! What if Class A gets the exam, and we're the ones who set the questions?! Who stays and who leaves?!"

The host interrupted the discussion again, "The elimination mechanism is the same as the last round, still based on points ranking. So, everyone, good luck, and hopefully you'll all be on the list of those who advance in the next round."

【Oh my god?! It feels like things are going to fall apart so quickly!!! It's good that things are in chaos! (*￣rǒ￣)】

[These rules are way too messed up! If Class A is really eliminated and Class F gets all the questions, does that mean all of them will advance?! That's too ridiculous! ┓( ′?` )┏.]

[It's alright. I feel like it should be similar to that foreign series, maybe with a series of interconnected mechanisms. Hehe, I already have so many ideas in my head.]

So he really was chosen as the Grim Reaper?! They've even set up death traps?! Could there really be a living Yama?! No way!

【Why not? Honestly, a chain reaction is what makes it so exciting, hehe, especially when you enter the venue, knowing there's a crisis but not knowing where it is. If you ask me, designing an order based on rankings would be even better, hehe (*^▽^*).】

[Upstairs, you're a real devil! You even have an order based on rankings, and now you're going to include a death escape?! If you ask me, it would be best to design it so the test-takers see some of the traps and mechanisms that will appear, then do the opposite, hehe. They'll try to avoid these traps, but the parts they try to avoid are precisely the real traps, hehehe.]

[You're so wicked! Even Satan would bow down before you, and Yama, the King of Hell, would turn tail and run! You're all so insidious! At most, I just devised a route and required the completion of a task.]

"You're not much better than them, and you're expecting them to actively eliminate themselves? That's incredibly heartless. I'm kinder; I think it would be much better to just have a group of men in black."

[Men in black?! What, you're adding an assassin too?! Tsk tsk tsk, I really didn't see that coming. You all look so tough and innocent, but when you're playing the Grim Reaper, you're all incredibly skilled! (Applause emoji.JPG)]

[If you ask me, we should just design a virus that infects directly, like in the games I used to play, where it just randomly infects players. Of course, that's assuming it's well-designed.]

【Σ(⊙▽⊙"a Breaking Bad guy upstairs?! We're still discussing this on a physical level, and you're already on a superhuman level?!】

[Haha, what are you talking about at the non-human level? To put it bluntly, the animal level, wow! If you were really talking about viruses, there probably wouldn't be many that survived; it would be straight to the end.]

"No way, there are different types of viruses. Maybe a few lucky ones will survive."

[Uh (⊙o⊙)... Wait, are you guys really badass?! Seeing all your comments, it really feels like humanity is still alive on Earth. You badass guys have gone easy on us!]

[These are all just hypothetical scenarios, everyone's just joking around, it's all just talk. Besides, in the end, it's the contestants who design it themselves ┓( ′?` )┏.]

[Exactly, don't talk like we're heartless. We were just discussing safety issues (seriously adjusting glasses emoji).]

Speaking of that movie, I was so terrified when I first saw it that I couldn't sleep that day. It really left a huge shadow on my young mind.

[Haha, speaking of which, this movie is really old, right? I heard they even made a series afterward. I used to think horror movies were all about zombies or big sharks, but this movie without any ghosts had a really powerful impact. Back then, I felt like everything in my room was dangerous at night; a sudden jolt would startle me awake.]

[A true friend indeed! That was the first time a main character in a drama had to die so suddenly. And back then, without special effects, the filming techniques looked rather crude. Those thin wires and stuff—they're truly a nightmare.]

Xu Hui from Class A had good luck in the last round, accumulated points, and chose a safe location in the end.

"What are your thoughts on the questions for the next exam?"

"In the last round, the chain reaction of oil residue in the pressure cooker eliminated a lot of people. Except for the people at the main entrance, almost everyone else in that room was eliminated. I think we can take that as a reference."

"But someone will probably be on guard against this, since that room had the most people eliminated this time."

"Then we can improve it a bit. We can use this as a decoy, and then the safe spot is behind it, how about that?!"

Yue Feng from Class F would probably have been eliminated in the last round if he hadn't been at the door of the room, so he was very impressed by the arrangement that resulted in a large number of eliminations in the last round.

"Everyone, be careful of chain reactions. Some chain reactions can have a far greater impact than a single reaction. So we must eliminate potential dangers as soon as we see them, otherwise, one after another, they will eventually lead to great danger."

"What skills do you all have? What do you all do? If we find out, we can design content that everyone is familiar with in the future."

Gao Fei didn't get many points in the last round and was assigned to Class F. There wasn't much he could say, so he could only nod and agree with the others. He was very envious of the others who were programmers, short video creators, and even band lead singers.

When it was his turn, although he was a little reluctant to speak, he still revealed his profession: "I work in auto repair."
