Chapter 66: Can This Child Xu Yan Be Handed Over to Our Military?
Watching the final video,
Director Zhang was confused.
Director Yang was confused.
District Chief Ding was also confused.
---
Previously, District Chief Ding had felt a little regretful.
Because No. 8 Middle School and No. 16 Middle School had been so close to breaking the highest escape record of 3 hours.
But now?
Now, he was completely dumbfounded.
---
Escape?
What escape?
Where do these kids even need to escape!?
They tied down 10 Level 20 Demon Mages and hammered them into the ground!
---
Eight high school students had managed to defeat high-level disaster beasts from the front lines!
---
This was insane.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes,
he would NEVER have believed it.
---
A Complete System Breakdown
Not only was District Chief Ding on the verge of a mental breakdown,
but Director Yang of the Education Bureau was also losing his mind.
---
Because now, the reason for the collapse of the joint training system
had been directly exposed!
---
The final boss of the third stage was designed to be invincible.
This was a fundamental setting in the system's underlying logic.
---
Who could have expected that during the great escape phase,
instead of running away…
some crazy students would fight back against the bosses directly.
---
If those final bosses were actually killed,
it would cause major conflicts in the system's core programming.
---
Director Yang immediately fast-forwarded the video to verify his theory.
And sure enough—
the moment the last Demon Mage was killed…
the system collapsed.
---
Director Zhang let out a huge sigh of relief.
Then he turned to Director Yang and said,
"You can't blame me for the system collapse, right?"
---
Director Yang shook his head.
"No, I can't blame you.
No one could have expected that students would actually kill all the final bosses during the great escape…"
---
Now that they understood the real reason behind the system crash,
the fix wouldn't be difficult.
---
It wasn't a major system failure.
Just a programming conflict caused by players doing something no one thought possible.
The repair cost would be minimal—just labor expenses for the system technicians.
---
However, Director Yang still had one question.
---
He turned to District Chief Ding with a puzzled expression.
---
"District Chief Ding… could it be that the 10 Demon Mages your military captured just weren't strong enough?"
---
District Chief Ding immediately denied it.
---
"Absolutely impossible.
Demonic disaster beasts are completely different from regular disaster beasts.
Their base level starts at 20!
Plus, demons naturally have much higher stats and stronger skills than other creatures."
---
"So then…"
"What's the REAL reason they lost?"
---
District Chief Ding narrowed his eyes.
---
"Have you not noticed the TRUE problem?"
---
The Real Issue: Xu Yan's Skills
"Xu Yan's farming skills—Tree World Advent—have ABSOLUTE crowd control.
They IGNORE immunity effects!"
---
"Not only can he summon FOUR tree worlds at once…
but the cooldowns of each tree world are calculated separately, allowing seamless chaining!"
---
"And that's just his FIRST skill."
---
"His SECOND skill—Tree World Blossoms—completely shuts down all demons over a 300-meter radius!
An ability like that… even I have never seen anything like it in my life!"
---
Different Priorities
At this point, Director Yang and District Chief Ding were focused on different things.
Director Yang, from the Education Bureau, was mainly concerned about the system collapse.
District Chief Ding, from the military, didn't care about the system failure.
---
From the moment Xu Yan started fighting,
all of District Chief Ding's attention had been focused on this "ordinary" farming student.
Even though the video replay was sped up,
he carefully analyzed every skill, movement, and ability Xu Yan used.
---
After breaking it all down,
District Chief Ding looked up seriously and said:
---
"Director Yang, can this child Xu Yan be handed over to our military?"
---
The Military Wants Xu Yan
Director Yang wasn't surprised.
In fact, he had been expecting this request.
---
A few years ago, the greatest summoner in Dayan City's history—
the Undead Summoner—was directly recruited into the army.
---
Now, he was already a high-ranking officer.
The only reason Dayan City had access to top-tier military resources
was because of his contributions.
---
If Xu Yan joined the military,
it would not only benefit his own future
but also give the Education Bureau long-term advantages.
---
Director Yang's Response
"District Chief Ding, our Education Bureau has no objections to Xu Yan joining the military."
"But you know we can't make that decision for him."
"If you want Xu Yan in the army, you'll need to speak with him and No. 8 Middle School directly."
---
District Chief Ding nodded.
"That's fine. As long as you're not against it, we'll handle the rest."
---
Clearing the Cheating Accusations
With the system crash explained,
the Education Bureau reviewed the crystal data
and fully understood what had happened.
---
As for the cheating accusations against No. 8 and No. 16 Middle Schools?
They were completely baseless.
---
All the high-level equipment these schools had obtained?
Xu Yan had stolen it all from bosses at the very start.
---
Sure, it was a little shameless…
but it didn't violate any official rules.
---
Thus, the final rankings were declared valid.
However, before making the official announcement,
the Education Bureau needed time to verify resource distribution.
---
A Few Days Later...
Xu Yan and Principal Huang were suddenly summoned
by District Chief Ding to a private meeting at the military district.
---
Facing the Military
Inside a special reception room,
Xu Yan and Principal Huang sat nervously as District Chief Ding entered.
---
This wasn't a ranking discussion anymore.
This was a serious military summons.
And Xu Yan had a bad feeling about it.
---
Did he really break the system that badly?
Was he going to have to PAY for it!?
---
Even worse…
Principal Huang had a terrifying thought.
---
What if the joint training system was permanently broken?
Would they have to pay compensation?
How much?
A hundred million? A billion?
Could they even AFFORD IT!?
---
Now, sitting in front of District Chief Ding,
they could only hope for the best…
---
End of Chapter.
