"Depend on!"
The moment the prompt sounded, even Zhang You couldn't help but curse.
Every time when they think they have finally passed the test, new tricks will pop up in the exam, testing people's psychological defenses again and again.
It’s bad enough that you have to give a score after writing the review, but what’s the point of asking “all the students in Class 1, Grade 3” to give a score to the review?
Aren’t all the students in this class the ghosts on the death list in the movie, including characters like Wang Peng and Feng Wan?
Thinking of being chased by ghosts from the other world, and the feuds with several of the main ghosts... an ominous premonition came to people's hearts.
Zhang You thought about it and said comfortingly, "It shouldn't be a big deal... I remember the exam requirements only said that you need to complete at least four movie reviews, but it didn't specify a certain score!"
Tang Xin Jue also nodded in affirmation, reassuring his roommate, "That's right. According to the exam rules, the assessment for this movie has ended since I finished writing my review."
The following part is just an additional step, so your score will not affect your clearance result.
The tense atmosphere finally eased. A few seconds later, almost as the four people finished their discussion, a prompt sounded:
[The review rating is complete! Your final score for this review is: 65 points (out of 100)]
"Wow!" Guo Guo was quite surprised.
Not only her, this score was higher than almost everyone expected - at least based on the full score of 100, it was even passing.
Given the ghosts' natural malice towards the examinees, it is already a touching thing that they can give a passing score.
Zhang You speculated, "Perhaps it was the Heart Technique that killed Zhao Mingtao, or perhaps we caused other main characters to suffer?"
After all, for the other students who died, these main characters were more or less the culprits, and they almost directly led to the complete annihilation of Class 3-1.
It's even possible that these "students" truly agreed with the opinions expressed in the Tang Xin Jue review, or simply gave the scores at random. In short, the scores were already released, and the reasons behind them were unknown.
The exam rules also clearly consider this score to be quite high:
[Congratulations to the candidate who received a "Pass" rating and became the first person to pass the film assessment test! You will receive the following reward: ...]
A light flashed through the air, but before the prize appeared, it suddenly stopped in place along with the prompt sound.
Under the light, Li Xiaoyu put down his hand with a smile, tilted his head and looked at everyone: "This prize will be confiscated for the time being."
“???”
Zhang You: "Why?"
Zheng Wanqing: "Why?"
Guo Guo held the pendant and swallowed.
Tang Xinjue looked directly at Li Xiaoyu, whose smile was fake, and his expression showed no emotion.
Seeing the reactions of the others, Li Xiaoyu's smile widened, almost to the point of falling over. He laughed for a long time before stopping, his narrow eyes narrowing into a line.
"Because I didn't want to give it to you, I confiscated it."
Guo Guo: "This is the reward given to us by the exam rules... You, you want to break the rules?"
"So, what do you want to do?" Li Xiaoyu blinked and emphasized: "Are you planning to - report it?"
Lifting his eyelashes, Tang Xinjue looked at the other person coldly.
The others were also speechless for a moment, and the air fell into silence.
They reported it to the game, and it was clearly about the last exam. How did Li Xiaoyu know about it?
A look of satisfaction appeared on Li Xiaoyu's face. She seemed to enjoy seeing others' surprise and fear. Unfortunately, this expression rarely appeared on Tang Xinjue's face. She just stood there calmly, her body even thinner than Li Xiaoyu's, but straight and relaxed.
After looking at Li Xiaoyu for two seconds, Tang Xinjue spoke to the air without hesitation: "We have completed the film assessment and now want to return to reality."
Upon receiving the request, the stalled rules start running again:
[Candidate signal received…Connecting…Loading…]
A sense of detachment surged forward, and Li Xiaoyu's exaggerated laughter entered everyone's ears:
"Do you think you really won?"
"You relied on the exam rules to reduce the difficulty, dodged enemies whose strength was deliberately suppressed to be almost as weak as yours, and survived a completely unchallenging C-rank dungeon. Do you think you've achieved a true victory?"
"Continue to grow. In this land of treacherous dangers and evil, when you are strong enough and have to face it, we will be waiting for you there..."
The pictures and scenes began to fade away, and in the chaos, Li Xiaoyu continued to hum the song.
“We’re all the same”
“Everyone is the same”
"Welcome to us"
"Understanding everything we do—"
"We are the harmonious and friendly Class 3-1~"
…
This time, as soon as they regained consciousness, several people acted quickly.
Tang Xinjue quickly turned off the video that was about to play continuously. Zhang You checked if he was okay. Zheng Wanqing rushed back to his seat to drink water, and Guo Guo ran to the bathroom and started vomiting.
[Mental Damage: Health -30]
[Negative Buff: Your health value will continue to decrease for a period of time]
All of them had this negative buff, with Guo Guo suffering the most, and Tang Xinjue the least. However, their health bars also fell within the yellow line.
"Fortunately, the physical damage sustained in the movie instance will not persist after completing it."
After confirming that he was safe, Zhang You breathed a sigh of relief. Being killed in a dungeon was truly traumatic.
Tang Xin Jue looked at the rest of the movie and nodded, "This should be the simplicity of the C-level copy."
If it is a B-level or even A-level copy, it may not be easy to resurrect after dying in the movie plot.
After a short break, they ate something to regain their energy and summarized the experience of the first movie.
Fortunately, there was no overall time limit for this exam, so they had enough time to rest and didn't have to rush to watch the next one.
"First of all, the movie quiz is very difficult, and there are almost no clues in the film."
Tang Xin Jue wrote down the first one.
For this step, they can only rely on guesswork, with a one in a few chance of hitting the target. If they are unlucky, they will be forced to "watch the replay."
"It's a pity that my pendant doesn't work with the option." Guo Guo pulled his hair in distress.
"The replay step, judging from the first movie, is likely to allow us to enter the movie world and observe the plot from the perspective of the characters. And as the plot ends, the Q&A session will immediately start again."
Tang Xin Jue drew a bold red exclamation mark: "We must answer this question correctly."
This is the bottom line that can ensure that no one is injured or killed and that the possibility of passing the level is the highest.
In addition, during the film replay, there will inevitably be various obstacles and dangers, especially when the four people are separated and can only rely on their individual strength to deal with the moves.
"The last step is the review. Once you successfully complete it, you can safely end the dungeon."
After finishing the summary, Tang Xin Jue said, "The final part can be handed over to Zhang You and me."
She can ensure stable writing in dangerous situations, while Zhang You can provide some additional ideas.
When she is unable to make a question-and-answer selection due to force majeure, the right of choice will be transferred to Zhang You.
Zheng Wanqing raised her hand and asked, "If Zhang You can't choose either, who will answer, me or Guo Guo?"
Guo Guo: "Miss, if that time comes, we shouldn't embarrass each other like this. Wouldn't it be better to just lie down and wait for death?"
Before the two started arguing about the order of selection, Zhang You blocked each of their mouths with a biscuit. When he turned around, Tang Xinjue had already turned on the computer.
"It's 6pm now, and we still have enough energy to finish a movie."
As the mouse moved, the four people's expressions became serious.
Which one should I choose?
Zheng Wanqing suddenly spoke up: "Based on my previous experience watching horror movies, the second film in the same series is often more difficult than the first."
Because the audience has often seen the elements and routines of the first film, the director will increase the difficulty or even make some magical changes.
"What the young lady said makes sense." Guo Guo nodded. "And there's a high probability that the information in the first and second parts is interconnected. If you know the plot of one part, it might be easier to watch the second part."
After discussion, everyone reached a consensus: choose the first part of a series to watch.
This narrows their choices down to two films:
Is it "Headless Ghost Story 1" or "Village Ghost 1"?
