I Know All Negative Effects of Entries in Instances-Chapter 415 - 282: Test Begins (Part 2)

He knew in his heart that this was almost impossible.

This was because Zhou Yingting was very aware that activating this entry relied entirely on these books.

If it really depended on this assessment, as long as he passed, he could progress substantially, and Zhou Yingting would see a prompt about his negative effects.

But since there was no prompt, this statement seemed somewhat untenable.

Moreover, there was another flaw in the other party’s speculation.

That is, once someone suspected that this might be an assessment, they would just need to stay longer; even if urged to leave, they would insist on staying.

If they persist for ten days or so, they might also see the effect.

In this way, the purpose of this assessment would be defeated.

Therefore, in his heart, Zhou Yingting basically did not believe this was an assessment.

He was quite sure that Senior Brother Qingshan’s genuine intention for those without talent to leave sincerely had nothing to do with an assessment.

"Zhou Yingting, do you think this is an assessment?"

Everyone thought and thought but could not come to any conclusion.

In the end, someone suddenly asked Zhou Yingting.

They had been here for nearly a year; everyone already knew each other and was very familiar.

Seeing Zhou Yingting in a relaxed manner, someone immediately asked.

Looking at Zhou Yingting, he seemed to be the most talented among them, but no one knew what Zhou Yingting thought.

Zhou Yingting did not expect anyone to ask his opinion and was slightly stunned, then thought for a moment and said.

"I think ... whether it’s an assessment, we’ll know by tomorrow’s assessment."

"What do you mean?"

Hearing Zhou Yingting answer like this, everyone became interested.

"It’s simple, everyone should have some understanding of their entry progress and know whether they can activate their entry within the set time."

"If they really want to assess our perseverance, they should judge most people as lacking talent. Whether the needed time is urgent, everyone should have an idea."

"If anyone among you would naturally make it in terms of time, but if they urge you to leave, then it might be an assessment."

"Assessments typically target most people; otherwise, it wouldn’t be fair."

"Moreover, just like Zhou Hao said earlier, if this is an assessment, passing it would make the progress bar surge significantly, then it should be an assessment for everyone."

"Otherwise, those people whose time is tight have individual assessments, then their progress bar rises, while those progressing faster don’t get such a benefit. This doesn’t make sense."

Currently speaking, tasks completed in the instance are relatively fair, with no favoritism.

If this is an assessment and some people are selectively assessed, with rewards for passing, it feels off.

The others listened, initially hesitating.

But hearing this, they suddenly felt that Zhou Yingting made a lot of sense.

If tomorrow Qingshan identifies those not pressed for time as lacking talent, then it should be an assessment.

Thinking of this, everyone no longer worried.

"Forget it, let’s discuss this tomorrow; whether to stay or not really depends on each of us."

Thinking of this, they immediately stopped worrying.

They just needed to consider whether to leave when Senior Brother Qingshan says they lack talent.

Meanwhile, Zhou Yingting sat aside, picking fruit from the basket, while thinking about tomorrow’s assessment.

If this assessment really happens, he would be exposed tomorrow.

Not knowing what bad impact it might have, having completed the task ahead of time, and even ahead of the talents mentioned.

Estimate that tomorrow Wu Song and others will ask him how he did it.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yingting felt a bit troubled.

Originally, he wanted to hide it for a few years and then inform them when the progress bar filled and the entry was activated.

Now it seems barely possible.

Forget it, let’s discuss it tomorrow.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yingting shook his head and stopped thinking.

....

The next day.

As promised, Qingshan arrived in front of the stone platform as the sun rose.

Qingshan glanced at the people who had been waiting a long time, some even not resting all night due to excessive thinking.

Seeing this, Qingshan shook his head and sighed.

Judging by the looks, it seemed he was really here to test, not as previously guessed to assess.

Seeing this, everyone felt even more tense.

"Who wants to go first?"

Qingshan took out a piece of wood and placed it in front. This piece of wood was somewhat withered, looking like an ordinary tree trunk, without anything special.

No one knew how he intended to use this for testing.

After placing it down, Qingshan did not intend to name anyone, just scanned the crowd, asking who was willing to go first.

Upon seeing this, everyone felt restless, wanting to go but hesitating, afraid of being urged to leave.

After a long hesitation, someone finally took a step forward.

"I’ll go, since my entry progress is so slow, I already predict the outcome."

The person stepping forward was Liu Chuan, who spoke and walked up to Senior Brother Qingshan.

"Senior Brother, What should I do?"

Qingshan looked at Liu Chuan and pointed at the withered wood, saying, "Put your hand on it and try to operate your cultivation technique."

"Operate the cultivation technique?"

Liu Chuan was stunned but soon realized it meant using the entry.

But... the entry hadn’t been activated; could it be used?

Since it had been said, he would do accordingly.

Thinking this, he immediately began using the entry.

At this moment, the originally unactivated entry in front of him flickered slightly as he used it, then dimmed.

This speed was too fast; had his eyes not been fixed on his entry, he might have thought he was seeing things.

As the entry flickered, a green light flashed across the withered wood, quickly disappearing.

Seeing this, Qingshan glanced at Liu Chuan and said, "Well done, can you operate the cultivation technique again?"

"Operate the cultivation technique again?"

That meant using the entry once more.

Given that the entry flickered just now, it seemed it could be briefly used even if unactivated.

Thinking this, he immediately used the entry again.

This time, the entry flickered slightly, showing a very dim glow before extinguishing.

It seemed like the entry was low on energy, unable to be used anymore.

The green light on the wood blinked earlier but was gone this time.

Liu Chuan could only honestly say, "I can’t use it anymore."

"Your talent isn’t great; if you could barely use the cultivation technique twice, you would have some aptitude."

Qingshan sighed upon hearing this.

Then he wrote the character Ding in Liu Chuan’s hand.

It seemed this was his ranking.

Ding appeared to be a poor rank.

"Next."

After writing, Qingshan waved his hand, indicating the next person should come.

Regarding Liu Chuan, he did not mention whether to leave, seemingly planning to wait until everyone’s tests finished and then explain collectively.

Liu Chuan stepped back, face somewhat downcast but stood aside watching others’ performances.
