Chapter 85: The Recruit Assessment Is Over! All Recruits Return to the City!
Chapter 85: The Recruit Assessment Is Over! All Recruits Return to the City!
Gao Yang and Bai Ding were extremely satisfied with some of the combat characteristics displayed by their second skill.
Under normal circumstances, few life-related professionals will upgrade their level to level 15 and unlock the second life-related professional skill.
With such a change now, if they had not experienced it personally, they would not have known it.
---
Wu Dayong, Pang Fei, and Lu Meng kept staring at Xu Yan, waiting for him to show off his second skill.
Xu Yan was now level 15 and must have unlocked a second skill.
Xu Yan's first skill was already so exaggerated that it could defy the heavens.
Now, they wanted to know—after unlocking his second skill, would Xu Yan be able to go to heaven!?
---
But Xu Yan never showed it, which made several people anxious.
They couldn't bear it anymore and asked directly:
"Xu Yan, you've reached level 15, what's your second skill?"
"Yeah, come on, show us! We've all been waiting for this!"
"Could it be an offensive skill?"
---
But Xu Yan could only smile awkwardly.
Because he couldn't use it yet, his second skill, Necromancy, couldn't be unlocked until level 20.
Under normal circumstances, even if someone acquired a skill, they would still need to slowly explore the characteristics of that skill in actual combat.
---
Someone like himself, who already knew the characteristics of a skill before unlocking it, did not exist in this world.
If he admitted it now, he might expose the fact that he had a system.
Xu Yan thought for a moment and could only explain vaguely:
"My second skill hasn't been unlocked yet. I think it's going to be a skill for raising small animals."
---
Lu Meng: "That shouldn't be, right? Everyone gets their second skill at level 15. Why are you different? Xu Yan, do you even have a second skill?"
---
Gao Yang nodded: "Xu Yan is indeed different from others. He already has three skills before level 15!"
---
After Gao Yang finished speaking, Lu Meng stopped talking.
For Xu Yan, one skill could be used as three skills.
It was reasonable that he couldn't unlock a second skill at level 15—otherwise, he would have been too overpowered.
---
---
Time Comes to the 7th Day
Xu Yan's team, Wu Dayong's team, Pang Fei's team, and Lu Meng's team
had all exceeded 5,000 points, far surpassing the recruit assessment targets.
---
But no one wanted to end the recruit assessment yet.
At this point, nobody even cared how many points they had.
Because the huge number of Disaster Beast Cores they had harvested over the past few days made them filthy rich!
---
"I can't carry anymore! My backpack is full! I need to deal with this loot first."
"Yeah, let's go sell some stuff. If we keep farming, we'll have to carry the cores with our hands."
---
---
Disaster Beast Core Recycling Site
Not far from Recruit Camp 36, there was a temporary material recycling center.
This wasn't managed by the military, but rather by the city itself.
Since Baitan City was in the middle of a beast tide,
the city wanted to boost the morale of soldiers.
---
To encourage them, all material recycling sites near the camps offered additional subsidies for recycling disaster beast materials.
---
Xu Yan and the others were happy to sell their cores at these designated locations.
---
At a recycling station,
the staff was shocked when they saw the massive pile of Disaster Beast Cores being dumped onto the counter.
---
"How many disaster beasts have you killed!?"
"And most of them are poisonous beasts!?"
"Wait… are you really new recruits!?"
---
To avoid unnecessary attention,
Xu Yan quickly made up an excuse:
"These Disaster Beast Cores don't belong to us.
"Our comrades in the camp are too busy to come, so we just ran an errand to process their materials for them."
---
After Xu Yan finished speaking,
the staff finally relaxed.
---
"I see! But… the number of cores is insane.
"I need to do a careful count."
---
The staff called over two more assistants,
and the three of them began working at lightning speed.
---
After an hour,
the final calculation was completed.
---
"With additional subsidies, your total is… 32.3 million!"
"Please confirm the amount."
---
"Good."
---
After confirming everything,
the recycling center paid them immediately.
---
On average, with four teams and 16 people,
each person had just made over 2 million!
---
Xu Yan followed the previous agreement and distributed the money fairly.
---
Recruits Are Stunned by Their Own Wealth
Seeing the huge numbers in their bank accounts,
the 15 other people were completely stunned.
---
This amount was far beyond their expectations!
---
"We've only been here for seven days!"
---
"There's still more than a month left in the recruit assessment!"
---
"If we keep going at this rate…
"All of us will be multimillionaires by the time we leave!?"
---
"Just thinking about it is crazy!"
---
Gao Yang, Bai Ding, and Wang Ke looked at their bank balances,
their hands trembling.
---
They had never seen this much money in their lives!
---
"Following Xu Yan…
"We're set for life!"
---
After selling the loot,
the four teams immediately returned to farming.
---
Since the poisonous beasts in the nearby districts had dwindled,
they decided to move to farther areas.
---
---
At the Same Time…
At the Instructor Camp's Recruit Assessment Office,
three instructors were reviewing the recruit assessment data.
---
Upon discovering four teams with abnormally high scores,
they froze in shock.
---
"What the hell is going on with these four recruit teams!?"
---
"20,000 points?"
"30,000 points!?"
"25,000 points!?"
---
"That's way beyond the standard requirement!
"Why haven't they reported in yet!?"
---
"Have they forgotten they're in a recruit assessment!?"
---
"Every other team is trying to leave ASAP…
"But these guys don't want to leave at all!?"
---
"They're practically role models for recruits!
"They're here to kill enemies, not just take an exam!"
---
"It's a pity we don't have any special reward system for them."
---
---
But Then…
Suddenly, the emergency alarm blared!
---
An instructor picked up the phone,
and his face turned pale.
---
"We don't have time to wait.
"Pass all recruits who meet the assessment standards!
"End the recruit assessment immediately!"
---
"The first line of defense has been breached!"
---
---
In that moment…
Baitan City's fourth line of defense
became the third line of defense.
---
---
This was no longer an assessment ground.
This had become a real battlefield.
---
---
End of Chapter.
