Chapter 86.
The participants began to actively explore the entire ship and discovered that there were staff members on board, who were strange NPCs belonging to the dungeon.
They tried to communicate with these NPCs, hoping to learn the specific location of the drilling platform and related information.
After all, according to the copy mission, they need to survive until the next shift comes, so it can be boldly speculated that the real crisis of this copy will break out on the drilling platform.
The time when the ship arrives at the platform can perhaps be considered a safe period. During this safe period, they must of course try their best to find clues in preparation for danger.
But no matter what the participants did, the staff did not reveal any information. They had two tasks on this ship.
The first is to send these new employees to the drilling platform.
Second, provide pre-job training for this group of new employees.
Everyone was given a thick training manual that covered the complete operation mode of an oil drilling platform, detailing every step.
The manual is so thick that it can be used as a killing weapon. These participants are all here to challenge the dungeon. Who has the mind to study?
In the beginning, not many people took this seriously. In addition, some people could not stand the long ocean voyages, and some people just flipped through the training manual and put it aside.
Li Jia didn't want to look closely at first, but when she saw Ning Xuanqing flipping through the book seriously, she couldn't help but ask, "It's already this late, and you're still focused on this?"
Ning Xuanqing looked up at her and continued to read. "I have never learned this kind of knowledge. I am curious and want to read it."
Li Jia was silent. He was not afraid of people being smart, but he was afraid of people being smart and working hard.
Turning around, Li Jia saw Tang Yu also reading the training manual. She asked, "Boss, are you also interested in oil extraction?"
Tang Yu didn't even raise his head and said directly: "I have never seen such a big book, so I want to see what it says."
Li Jia was even more speechless. He was not afraid of people with abilities, but he was afraid of people with abilities and curiosity.
Yes! She watched it too.
Seeing that the other three were watching, Tian Xun and Tang En thought about watching too.
It was not until five days later that the staff gathered the participants together and did a simple training test.
Hundreds of people were divided into different rooms and sat down. Each person was given an assessment test paper. The content of the test was very basic. If you passed, you would be considered to have passed. If you failed, you would be eliminated.
No one expected this to happen. The world is about to end, but how can we still not escape the exam?!
For a moment, everyone was in a panic. Some people had not even read the manual and were overwhelmed when they got the test papers.
But under the dangerous gaze of the staff, they had no choice but to answer the questions.
Someone asked if it was possible to not answer the questionnaire, and the staff member said sinisterly that it was not possible. The next second, the head and the person were separated.
Looking at the body lying on the ground, everyone looked at the participant who took action.
The participant was a strong man who was ranked on the Heavenly Ranking. Facing the gazes of the crowd, he said arrogantly: "What are you afraid of? Can't you just do it directly?"
This statement was recognized by some people, so some people simply gave up answering the questions, but the exam time had not yet ended and the door of the room could not be opened at all.
Tang Yu and the other five happened to be assigned to this room as well. They watched as some people threw away their test papers and exchanged glances with each other.
Ning Xuanqing held the test paper in his hand, thought for a moment, and mouthed words to his friends, meaning for them to answer the questions.
As an external brain, Ning Xuanqing's opinions have always been highly valued in the team. After receiving the signal, several people immediately started to answer the questions.
They had read the book anyway, so the test was not difficult for them.
The moment the exam time was over, the invigilator entered the room, and his face was exactly the same as the one who had just been killed!
This scene caused all the participants in the room to fall silent. All along, in their understanding, the monsters that were killed would disappear and would not reappear.
And the strange staff member just now had clearly had his head chopped off and disappeared in front of everyone. Logically, he should have been dead.
But what about this one who appears here now?
Was he resurrected from the dead or was he not killed at all?
Is this an S-level copy?
The logic and rules summarized from other copies do not seem to be applicable here. At the same time, some participants with quick thinking also thought of a key point.
Since these monsters cannot be killed easily, it means that the probability of this S-level copy being cleared is very low.
The reborn staff member didn't care what the group of people were thinking. Its pale lips opened and closed: "Time's up."
As soon as he finished speaking, the test papers in front of everyone underwent incredible changes. The papers turned into mist and floated up, finally gathering on the staff member.
This operation, which seemed like a magic spell, stunned everyone present. Before they could react, screams rang out everywhere.
Everyone was shocked and looked around, they saw several people in the room with purple faces, as if they were suffocating, with veins bulging on their faces, looking horrible.
In just a moment, these people who were screaming in the last second turned into wisps of mist like the test papers in the next second, and finally slowly merged into the bodies of the staff.
It all happened too quickly and was too unconventional for everyone to react for a while.
When they looked at the staff member, they saw a satisfied look on its pale face, just like a monster that had sucked enough human essence.
Because it was so subversive, no one thought of attacking the staff for a while. Besides, the powerful person on the Heavenly Ranking who had just chopped off its head had already turned into ashes, so no one dared to act rashly.
"Congratulations, you've passed the exam." The staff member regained his gloomy expression.
After it left the room, the door automatically opened, leaving the survivors stunned.
Only then did they realize that those who had just died were because they did not complete the test papers?
"This is too outrageous. Someone dies right at the start. It's just a crappy test! " Those who have experienced this kind of situation were completely defeated and started complaining with their heads in their hands.
Many people felt the same way and thought this copy was outrageous. Everyone thought the real crisis was on the drilling platform, but who would have thought there would be a pitfall in employee training?
"That's right! You told me someone was going to die, but you didn't even warn me!"
Someone couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Tsk! Is this instance yours? You're used to being a dad to other people and you can't let go of your temper, right? And you blame others for not reminding you. Can you understand clearly that this is an S-level instance! Not your baby's gaming instance!"
This was quite impolite to say, and since a lot of people had just died, everyone was under pressure, so they started quarreling.
When Tang Yu and his companions saw that this group of people were about to fight, they quickly left the room.
"What should I do? This dungeon is too weird. There is no logic at all." Li Jia muttered as he walked, "Who would have thought that a test could kill someone?"
Ning Xuanqing shook his head and said, "No, it still makes sense."
All four of them looked at her.
Ning Xuanqing faced his companions' gazes without answering, but asked: "After entering this instance, what is our identity?"
Tang En raised his hand and answered, "He is a new employee recruited by the drilling platform."
Ning Xuanqing nodded and said, "Yes, we are new employees, but we have no experience working on drilling platforms, so employee training is necessary."
After she said this, the four of them slowly came to their senses.
There is no doubt that this S-level copy is extremely difficult, but it does not mean that there is no way to figure out the pattern of killing.
Li Jia belatedly asked Ning Xuanqing: "So when you led us to read the book, did you see this point?"
As expected of her lover! She has a good brain!
Ning Xuanqing said noncommittally: "Maybe many people saw the problem at that time, but no one said anything, just to sacrifice some people to figure out the rules."
"Ah? Why didn't they tell us in advance when they saw the problem?" Li Jia asked subconsciously, then remembered that Ning Xuanqing was also the one who didn't tell anyone, and immediately said, "I'm not talking about you, whatever you do is right, hehe!"
Ning Xuanqing shrugged and said, "Because at that time no one had evidence to prove that employee training would lead to death. No one would believe it. We could only use the death of some people to warn others and minimize the participants' fluke mentality. When everyone works together, we can increase the probability of passing the level."
As Ning Xuanqing finished speaking, all the participants on the ship heard a gentle female voice at the same time.
"Notice, notice, all participants please pay attention, you must take the employee training seriously and master the knowledge in the training manual. Over!"
Kong Shi, a member of the Guild Alliance, was a broadcaster before the advent of the weirdness, and awakened the sound transmission skill after the advent of the weirdness.
This time, in order to successfully pass the S-level large-scale copy, the alliance took all factors into consideration.
Kong Shi's skills are most suitable for this kind of multiplayer copy, so she also entered the copy as an important member, and even stayed with those top bosses to ensure her personal safety.
The message conveyed by Kong Shi was very clear, and with the cruel facts before their eyes, no one dared to underestimate the issue of employee training anymore.
An S-level copy is an S-level copy, and no detail can be neglected.
Next, during the half-month-long voyage, the participants studied the training manual day and night. Tang Yu now dreams of opening valves on the mining platform when he goes to sleep.
Two more assessment tests were conducted in succession, each one more difficult than the last. However, having learned from the previous experience, none of the participants dared to slack off.
Therefore, all employees passed the subsequent tests.
After the last test, the ship finally arrived at the drilling platform. When everyone saw the huge drilling platform, they were shocked.
It’s really spectacular!
The entire platform is supported by four huge pillars and is deeply embedded in the ocean. No matter how the waves hit it, the platform remains motionless.
The steel body is dyed with highly saturated red and blue tones, and the lighting shines through the mist, showing a great scene of the industrial age.
Looking through the misty gray fog, one always has the illusion that a huge beast is lurking above the ocean.
It is possible for it to come back to life at any time. With just a slight turn over, the huge waves it creates will overturn the giant ship!
Amidst this shock, all participants silently went up to the platform deck.
Compared to the grandeur I saw on the ship just now, the feeling of entering the platform at this time is even stronger.
From more than 300 people who entered the copy, there are only more than 200 people left now, and they have all stepped into the body of this "giant beast".
In the following period of time, they will experience a real life and death crisis here!
