Chapter 004
The giant golden octopus that had swallowed Shijiu and Jinmeng seemed angry, unleashing a barrage of attacks on the incoming King's team. NPCs were still quite advantageous in the dark space; the trainees couldn't see them and could only rely on their intuition to predict their movements.
Now the trainees of the King's Team are also very regretful. They have really encountered a tough opponent. If they had known that there was an NPC here, they would not have come here.
[The number of eliminated trainees is one hundred and ninety-eight.]
"We are only two people short. Everyone, hold on a little longer and protect your bracelets. Don't let it sneak attack you!" the team leader shouted to his teammates.
This NPC is damn difficult to deal with, but luckily the trainees in their team are experienced and can barely dodge it.
[Bullet Comment]: Holy crap, this golden octopus is so powerful? Even the King's Squad can't handle it?
[Bullet comment]: That’s not the case. That’s because the NPC is in a dark space and the trainees can’t see it.
[Bullet screen]: Hey hey hey, the NPC suddenly disappeared!
Shortly after the big golden octopus NPC disappeared, the host's voice appeared in the dark space.
【Number of trainees eliminated: 200.】
[The room has been opened. Congratulations to all trainees for passing the test.]
[Now, please enter the room according to your initial level.]
Jin Meng and Shi Jiu also heard the host's voice. Jin Meng looked at Shi Jiu beside her in disbelief, "Why can I still hear the voice? Aren't we eliminated?"
Shi Jiu turned around and glanced behind him, "Look over there."
Jin Meng obediently turned around and looked. Not far behind them was the room with levels. Now, the door of the room was open.
Jin Meng exclaimed in disbelief.
Shi Jiu smiled and said, "Let's go in."
Countless trainees from the dark space rushed towards the room, but it was also obvious that the number of trainees at level A was the least, while the number of trainees at level F was relatively the largest.
After entering the door, Jin Meng let out a soft "wow".
Behind the gate is a beautiful playground with trees, flowers, sculptures of white pigeons, fountains, and streams. Behind the playground is a red building that looks a bit like a castle, but not quite. It's more like a teaching building with a castle-like shape.
[Bullet screen]: Wow, I feel that the training venue this time is pretty good. The program crew spent a lot of money!
[Bullet screen]: Hahaha, it is indeed an F-level teaching building.
[Bullet comment]: A-grade buildings are the best looking! Compared to A-grade buildings, F-grade buildings look terrible.
[Bullet comment]: I see that the dormitory building and the practice building in other levels are separate, they are two buildings, why is there only one here?
[Bullet screen]: But it feels pretty good. I want to see what their dormitory looks like.
Dormitory numbers have been distributed. Trainees will be randomly assigned to trainee teams. Trainees, please enter the dormitories according to your assigned numbers.
"My dormitory number is 508. Which dormitory number are you in, Ajiu?" The dormitory number appeared on the bracelet. Jin Meng lowered her eyes to take a look, then looked up at Shijiu and asked.
"I'm also in dormitory 508." Shi Jiu said with a smile.
"Ah! That's so good!!" Jin Meng was so happy that she almost jumped up.
I don’t know if the production team did it on purpose, but most of the trainees live in the same dormitory with people they know.
Shijiu and Jinmeng entered the building first to take a look. The first floor was a restaurant. After spending too much time in a holographic game, one's body would experience a similar feeling of hunger to real life, and then one would need to eat to replenish their energy. The restaurant was quite nice, with colorful, candy-colored tables, seating four to a table.
The second and third floors above were the practice and training rooms. Their dormitories were located on the fourth floor and above. The hallways were now bustling with the chatter of trainees looking for dormitories.
Jin Meng saw their dormitory door number first. She trotted over and pointed at the door and said to Shi Jiu, "We've arrived, Ah Jiu."
The dormitory door was open, and it was obvious that someone was already there. This time, the teammates were randomly assigned, which meant that the trainees currently in the dormitory would be their teammates.
Jin Meng knocked on the door nervously, then poked her head in.
"Wow, Shijiu, look, the room is pretty good." There was no one in the dormitory, and Jin Meng whispered to Shijiu.
Although it is a dormitory, it looks more like a three-bedroom, one-living room apartment. In the middle is a living room, which is simply furnished with a warm yellow sofa and some beautiful small plants.
"Hello."
Just as Jin Meng and Shi Jiu entered the dormitory, the door of one of the bedrooms opened. It was opened by a boy. He was a bit fat, wore glasses, and was about twenty years old. He looked like a college student.
"Hello, I'm personal trainee Jin Meng!" Jin Meng introduced herself with a smile.
"Hello everyone, I'm Gu Jie, a trainee at Oriental Gaming Company."
When Gu Jie smiles, his eyes are curved, giving people a feeling that he is easy to get along with, just like the older brother next door.
"Hello, I'm the personal trainee Wen Shijiu." Shijiu said.
When Gu Jie turned to look at Shi Jiu, his eyes paused slightly, a little surprised. Then he smiled and said, "Hello."
Because there are both boys and girls in each team, the program team arranged the rooms like this.
"There are three rooms in total, two double rooms and one single room." Gu Jie introduced after the few people took a quick look around.
The bedroom is quite well-equipped with everything.
Soon, two other trainees arrived. They were also individual trainees. The girl's name was Tong Le, and the boy's was Jin Chen. They were a couple. Although they were individual trainees, they had previously been relatively well-known game streamers on the platform, with hundreds of thousands of followers.
The couple looked very refined, both with beautiful makeup on. Tong Le was beautiful, with a great figure, long legs and a slim waist, like a difficult queen. Standing next to her was Jin Chen, who looked like a model, almost 1.9 meters tall, with an upright figure and a good temperament.
All five people were present, and they simply divided the rooms.
The couple shared a room. Shijiu and Jinmeng shared a room. Gu Jie had his own room. After the rooms were divided, Jinmeng dragged Shijiu to her room. It was not small, with two large beds, a dressing table, and a separate bathroom.
【Please all trainees gather in the lobby downstairs.】
After receiving the news, everyone immediately stood up and gathered in the lobby downstairs.
The chairs were already set up in the lobby downstairs. They were transparent silver and everyone was welcome to sit wherever they wanted. Shi Jiu and Jin Meng sat in the middle of the fourth row.
Jin Meng leaned closer to Shi Jiu and whispered, "There are really a lot of F-level trainees."
Looking at it in general, there are probably more than 400 trainees.
[All trainees have arrived. First of all, congratulations to all the trainees for passing the first level and entering the practice room.]
[I am the host, Ah Qi. Now I will announce the rules of the competition to everyone.]
The trainees have ten days to prepare. After these ten days, we will have the first elimination round. This elimination round will eliminate 1,600 people, meaning only 200 trainees will advance.
Hearing this, all the trainees gasped.
Eliminate so many people right from the start?
[Of course, I just mentioned all the trainees.]
The host deliberately kept the question in suspense.
[The number of trainees who advance to the next round is different for each level. There are five trainees in our F class who advance.]
As soon as the host finished speaking, the whole hall was boiling.
They thought that the number of students who advanced from Class F might not be many, but they didn't expect it to be so small.
Five people, five people means only one team can advance. Currently, there are about eighty teams in the hall. In other words, eighty teams advance to one.
[Bullet screen]: Oh shit, it turns out the most exciting class is Class F, and there are too few places for advancement.
[Bullet screen]: There is no way, it’s because the overall strength of Class F is relatively poor.
[Bullet screen]: Compared to this, Class A has an incredible number of places for advancement!
[Bullet screen]: The pressure on Class F is too great, it’s all about fighting.
[In addition, we will have a small test in five days. The team that wins first place in the test will all receive 10,000 love points.]
The like value is equivalent to game points, and each vote cast by the audience will increase one like value.
[The practice room will be open tomorrow. Good luck to all the trainees.]
The hall was completely silent, and everyone was obviously confused by this cruel qualifying match.
[Everyone can go back and rest now. Remember to pick up your supplies at the door.]
The trainees began to evacuate in an orderly manner. At the entrance to the hall, each trainee was given a suitcase. Inside the suitcase were practice clothes and some daily toiletries. In the girl's suitcase, there was even a set of cosmetics.
I have to say that the program crew is really thoughtful.
"Finally, I can rest. I've been so exhausted all day." Jin Meng returned to her dorm room and collapsed onto the bed. They'd been gone for more than 24 hours, with no rest or food. Fortunately, this was a holographic game; if it were real life, they'd starve to death.
Their real bodies are in the game cabin, which contains nutrient solution that will automatically replenish their body energy.
There was a camera in every room. Shijiu walked in front of the camera and turned it off.
"Ajiu, did you do that to your face on purpose?" Jin Meng asked curiously while lying on the bed.
Although she hadn't been with Shijiu for long, Jin Meng could tell that she had a very good and easygoing personality. It stood to reason that a girl with that personality wouldn't paint her face to look so unsightly.
"My face?" Shi Jiu asked in confusion.
Jin Meng was shocked: "Don't you know?"
After saying that, Jin Meng pulled Shi Jiu to sit in front of the dressing table.
Shi Jiu looked at the girl in the mirror.
Her face was covered in a thick layer of powder, her complexion was pale, her lips were bright red, and she had exaggerated red eyeshadow on. With her hair disheveled, she looked like a female ghost in a horror movie.
Wine of the day: “...............”
