What if?
In a team assessment, some people are happy, some are sad, and some are worried, such as Qin Jun, the sect leader Qin Gu, and the head of the teaching hall Miao Fu.
Of course, there are also people like Qin Baoyao, who are filled with righteous indignation but actually do not realize the real problem. She just looks blankly at her brother and the others whose faces are becoming more and more solemn, wondering, is it that serious?
They were too serious, and Qin Baoyao didn't dare to go up to ask, so she sneaked over to Shi Yue.
The assessment had not yet ended completely, and the teams had naturally not yet disbanded. They were all gathered in groups of three or four. She ran over, hid behind Shi Yue and whispered to him.
"Shi Yue, Shi Yue, your assessment this time was very dangerous. Fortunately, I was smart and gave you so many pills!" The first thing that was reproduced was the assessment results of Shi Yue and his team. She saw Shi Yue and his team fighting against a fourth-order monster. With so many image stones, she didn't know how long it would take. She was more concerned about the situation of Shi Yue and his team.
"Yes, thank you, Senior Sister." Shi Yue hadn't expected Qin Baoyao to sneak up on them. And why was she always so sneaky? She'd been like this before when she came to watch them train, and now she was acting the same way when she came to talk to him, even though no one had stopped her from coming.
"By the way, why do my brother and my uncle look so angry?" Qin Baoyao pointed at the serious group. "Actually, before the assessment even started, didn't we consider that some teams might not work well together? We also assumed that many teams would have people eliminated." She thought about the number of eliminations just announced and continued, "Although the number of eliminations is a bit high, this isn't the first team assessment, so it's normal for the team to have trouble getting along well."
"Senior Sister, Uncle Miao Fu just said that those teams had people voluntarily eliminated on the first day." Shi Yue knew exactly why the Sect Master and the others were so angry, but Qin Baoyao didn't quite understand.
"I heard it, but does it matter?" Qin Baoyao heard it of course, but she felt that this was a personal choice, normal, right?
"How about you take a look at how they are 'actively' eliminated?"
When Qin Baoyao heard this, she subconsciously looked in the direction of the photo stone, which was showing the images of those eliminated by Senior Brother Jian Xiu's team.
"All of you, press your name tags now and be eliminated voluntarily. You can't contribute much anyway, and staying here will only cause more trouble. Eliminate them early, and we can earn the points. Don't worry, without you, it will be much easier for us to earn points." One of them stared at the several Qi Refining disciples in the team and opened his mouth with these words.
"But we have too few points, and the points deducted will be very high."
"What points should be deducted? I don't believe it. If my scores are far ahead of others, can they really be deducted just because of the so-called rules? Strength is everything!"
"What if..."
"Don't worry, it's not a big deal. Without you guys, I can easily earn tens of thousands of points on my own," the man said arrogantly, then urged the others, "Hurry up and press your name tags to be eliminated, so I don't have to take care of you later."
Several people in the Qi Refining Stage in the team looked at each other. It was obvious that they did not want to be eliminated, but they were grabbed by the hands of others, pressed their name tags, and teleported out.
"This..." Qin Baoyao looked at this scene and looked at Shi Yue in disbelief, "Is this what they call 'active elimination'?"
"Yeah, I was forced to be eliminated."
"How do you know?"
"We were inside and saw one of the teams doing just that." Yu Ying explained to Qin Baoyao while looking at the scene on the photo stone.
At that time, they thought that only a small number of teams did this, but after seeing the expressions of the Sect Master and the Master of Miao Fu Hall, they realized that this might not be a minority, otherwise the Sect Master and the Master would not have such ugly expressions and would not have lost their temper on the spot.
Why?
This was Qin Baoyao's only thought after reading the contents of several photo stones.
How could this be considered voluntary elimination? Those fellow disciples who really wanted to continue participating in the assessment were forced to "voluntarily eliminate" by their own team.
Qin Baoyao looked at Qin Jun and the others, then at the photo stone, and then at those who said that the Qi Refining disciples should be eliminated voluntarily. She was puzzled.
"Why?" she murmured.
The others didn't know what she was muttering, but Shi Yue, who was closest to her, heard it, and he knew what Qin Baoyao meant by "why".
So he said, "Senior Sister, what if this isn't a test, but a training? What if during the training, those with greater strength give up those with less strength?"
Hearing this, Qin Baoyao, who was still muttering with her head down, suddenly raised her head and looked at Shi Yue in disbelief: Experience? Impossible?
When it comes to training, how could you abandon someone just because they are weaker? When I participated in training before, I was always the weakest in the team, and none of my senior brothers and sisters or junior brothers and sisters abandoned me.
"Shi Yue, what you said is impossible. I have never been abandoned, let alone others." Qin Baoyao retorted.
"What if? Senior sister, if such a habit is formed during the assessment, will this situation occur during the real training?" Over the years, Shi Yue has known a truth early on: if a person's bottom line can be lowered at the beginning, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not become a person without bottom line in the end.
What? Qin Baoyao's eyes widened when she heard this: Habit?
She stared at Shi Yue for a long time, then looked up at the photo stone that was still showing the assessment scene. She seemed to understand why the sect leader would publicly punish those elders and peak masters on such an occasion.
In order to win the reward, these people abandoned some of their companions right from the start.
Yes, this is just an assessment. The sect will always ensure the safety of the disciples during the assessment, and it will not have much impact on those disciples who are eliminated at the beginning.
But, as Shi Yue said, what if this behavior becomes a habit?
In one assessment, for the sake of rewards, the weaker members of the team were discarded. What if they were to undergo further training? Or what about the battlefield that my brother mentioned before?
She thought of the dream she had. In the dream, didn't she also think at the beginning that just a few Lingmei Pills could not have much impact?
But when you take more and more Lingmei Pills and become addicted to them, or when the Lingmei Pills don't help you improve your spiritual roots, when you come into contact with forbidden techniques, don't you think it's okay? Aren't they just some low-level forbidden techniques?
At this moment, after seeing the solemn expressions on her brother and the clan leader's faces, she seemed to understand a little bit. Isn't this exactly the case with "a thousand-mile dike is destroyed by the blood of an ant"?
At first you think it’s just a small thing and it doesn’t matter, then slowly you start to think that small thing doesn’t matter either, and in the end it leads to a disaster?
Many disciples couldn't understand it at first. They thought it was just a test. Since there were strong and weak people in the team, it was normal for the strong ones to do more. How could these strong ones be affected because others were too weak?
But after seeing the contents of the photo stone, the disciples fell silent.
Because even at that level of cultivation, there are always people who are stronger than me. During the assessment, those in the Golden Core and Foundation Establishment stages gave up on those in the Qi Refining stage. So what about me? What if I were to undergo training?
Or, you don’t want to give up but someone forces you to give up “actively”?
Those who had been making a particularly fierce noise at the beginning now lowered their heads.
Those disciples who were dissatisfied because their master was punished on the spot were also shocked after seeing what their fellow disciples did. So this is what is called "actively" giving up?
After counting carefully, it was found that nearly one-third of the teams operated in this way.
The disciples were thinking, what if they were the ones being abandoned?
Qin Gu and the others looked unhappy, not just because the disciples were adopting the assessment method of sacrificing others, but they were more concerned that someone was advocating this method.
If it weren't for the photo stone, they would never have known that the disciple who voluntarily eliminated on the first day was actually abandoned by the team, nor would they have known that so many people in the team participating in the assessment actually approved of such a method.
After all the photo stones of the disciples who were eliminated on the first day were played, the scene became quiet.
Amidst the utter silence, Qin Gu's angry voice rang out: "So, does anyone still think this result is unfair?"
After saying this, he looked at the people who were punished on the spot and said, "Did you guys do anything wrong?"
Unfair? If there were no Image Stone, everyone would feel that it was pitiful for the strong to be implicated by the weak, and it was unfair to the strong.
But after reading the contents of the photo stone, who would dare to say it's unfair? Do weak players deserve to be abandoned right from the start? Is that fair to them?
The few people who were punished in public were shocked when they saw the scenes. They didn't expect that their disciples would behave like this. It was their fault that they didn't teach them well!
In the crowd, there was a person who looked at Qin Jun and Qin Gu with hatred. He had never thought that an assessment within the sect would be equipped with so many photo stones, and he had never expected that Qin Gu would expose this matter on the spot.
Isn't Qin Gu afraid of offending his fellow disciples?
The plan failed again at the first step!
He looked at a woman in the crowd: If she hadn't failed at the beginning regarding the Lingmei Pill, how could this have happened now?
It should be said or not, when there is clear evidence, all words are pale.
Those who had scored a lot of personal points would never have thought that they would be exposed in public, and they didn't even have a chance to quibble, because the faces of every disciple who was "voluntarily" eliminated on the first day were clearly recorded in the photo stones they carried.
They thought that as long as the team's photo stones did not record anything, no one would know anything. However, so many people did such things.
Miao Fu and the others were very disappointed. They had thought that the worst that could happen was a lack of teamwork, but this was the first time that so many different cultivators had teamed up for an assessment, so adjustments could be made later. However, the results made them feel that the situation was even more serious. From the last Lingmei Pill to this assessment, everything was abnormal.
