Chapter 63: System Crash!
Chapter 63: System Crash!
Xu Yan looked at Zhou Min's pleading eyes and could only helplessly spread his hands.
Because now, he understood a fundamental truth—he could offend anyone, but he could not afford to offend Wang Ke.
Because this woman had the ability to kill him in seconds.
Seeing that Xu Yan was obviously siding with her, Wang Ke smiled proudly and said, "Hey!"
The next moment, nine thunderbolts converged into a pillar of lightning, crashing down from the sky, instantly killing a low-health Demon Mage.
Seeing that there was no chance of victory, Zhou Min had no choice but to admit defeat.
---
"No more competition! Sister Wang Ke, you win! I can't beat you, especially when Gao Yang keeps cheating to give you mana!"
---
Thus, the damage competition between the two sides came to an end, and Wang Ke emerged as the absolute winner!
Meanwhile, Gao Yang, under Zhou Min's intense glare, reluctantly took out a large amount of food.
After stuffing themselves with stinky tofu, the entire Sixteenth Middle School team quickly recovered their strength and mana.
After enduring so long with strict mana management, precise calculations, and reluctance to use their skills freely...
They suddenly had unlimited mana!
The feeling was pure bliss—indescribable comfort!
At this moment, they fully realized just how important this seemingly humble cook was to No. 8 Middle School's team!
With their full strength restored, the Sixteenth Middle School team went all out, and their progress in eliminating the Demon Mages skyrocketed!
---
Time passed...
An hour and a half...
Two hours...
Two and a half hours...
Almost three hours...
---
Outside the training venue, in the hall...
Several students exclaimed excitedly:
---
"Holy crap! They're about to break the highest escape record!"
"Eighth Middle School and Sixteenth Middle School are really something else!"
"Even if they did somehow cheat to get that top-tier equipment, the fact that they've survived for three hours proves that their skills are absolutely insane!"
---
As the record-breaking moment approached,
everyone's focus shifted away from the accusations of cheating.
Because everyone knew—even if they had the best equipment possible,
it was still impossible for an average person to survive three hours against 10 Level 20 Demon Mages!
---
Everyone had the same gut feeling:
No. 8 Middle School and No. 16 Middle School might actually break the all-time highest record!
They were on the verge of surpassing the historic achievement of Dayan City's strongest genius!
---
But just as they were about to break the record...
A piercing alarm rang throughout the hall!
Flashing red lights filled the room!
---
The entire system suddenly collapsed!
---
The abrupt system crash left the Education Bureau and the military completely stunned.
---
"System crash!?"
"Why did the joint training system suddenly go down!?"
Director Yang and Director Ding were both frozen in shock.
---
Because in the entire history of the joint training camp,
a system crash had NEVER happened before!
---
Total Confusion at the Education Bureau
The sudden system failure left everyone bewildered.
Even Director Zhang, who was responsible for system reviews, and several military technicians, were completely dumbfounded.
---
They had already moved all the testing equipment into position,
ready to conduct the fifth system review once the joint training concluded.
---
Director Zhang was furious at first.
After all, he was 100% certain that there were no issues in the four previous system reviews.
---
"There can't be any bugs!
I was meticulous! Rigorous! Responsible! I personally oversaw everything!
There is absolutely NO WAY there was a mistake!"
---
He was so confident that he was willing to stake his entire reputation on it.
---
But now,
he was terrified...
---
Because the system actually failed.
---
And this wasn't just some minor error.
The continuous alarm cycles indicated that...
---
This was a full-on SYSTEM COLLAPSE!
---
Director Zhang was shaking in his seat, sweating profusely.
His face turned pale as he muttered in disbelief:
---
"Impossible... absolutely impossible..."
"This has to be a false alarm! The system CAN'T fail!"
---
He immediately rushed to check the system.
---
But after a thorough inspection...
He collapsed into his chair.
---
His hands trembled as he whispered:
"The system... it really crashed..."
"And it's a complete, disintegration-level failure..."
---
Director Zhang was devastated.
This was a nightmare.
A catastrophic system failure happening under his watch!?
Unthinkable.
Unacceptable.
---
But no matter how much he wanted to deny it...
The truth was right in front of him.
The training system was completely broken.
---
Although he didn't know the exact cause,
he knew one thing for sure—
there was an unprecedented, massive system bug at play.
---
This was not a simple glitch.
It was a serious logic conflict at the core level.
And since he was in charge of the system's maintenance...
---
The fault had to be his.
---
Panic and Chaos Among the Students
As Director Zhang collapsed,
the students descended into total chaos.
---
The two opposing sides resumed their argument with renewed intensity.
---
"I told you from the beginning—No. 8 and No. 16 Middle Schools were cheating!"
"Didn't you keep demanding evidence? Well, here it is—the system itself CRASHED because of them!"
"How severe does the cheating have to be to cause a SYSTEM FAILURE!?"
"I have reason to believe that No. 8 and No. 16 Middle Schools directly TAMPERED with the joint training system! Otherwise, how could this happen!?"
"The evidence is undeniable! No. 8 and No. 16 Middle Schools must be held accountable for their fraudulent actions!"
---
At that moment...
Eight red lights flashed in the center of the hall.
All members of No. 8 and No. 16 Middle Schools successfully exited the joint training camp and returned to the hall.
---
As soon as they entered, they saw the entire training hall in complete chaos.
They looked around at the flashing red lights and the panicked expressions on everyone's faces.
---
They were completely confused.
---
"What the hell happened!?"
"Why are the alarms going off!?"
"Did a disaster beast attack the training hall!?"
---
But before they could get any answers...
They realized that everyone was staring at them.
And not in a friendly way.

End of Chapter.
