Chapter 404: Chapter 394: Test House (Thanks to Eastern Yi Guan Night Alliance for the extra Chapter - 4/10)
The first group of five trialists were surrounded by curious players asking about their experience, but for a while, they didn’t get any response.
It was because every one of them, just like Liu Luoluo, were staring dazedly at their test results, looking not too pleased.
"Do I sense they got so depressed after testing that they can barely function?"
"What’s actually going on? Is the test ridiculously hard or something?"
"Whoa! Liu Luoluo, a Priest, isn’t at the bottom of the Comprehensive Combat Power list?" freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
...
Everyone was chattering noisily about it.
At this moment, Liu Luoluo was the first to collect herself, remembering the task Mu Ying had given her: to promote the test house.
"Listen to me, everyone, the test house is not to be missed. If you get the chance, you must try it. It’s nothing like the previous Damage Test House. It helps us understand our position and motivates us to cultivate more. Just listen to my Combined Combat Power report and you’ll understand."
Liu Luoluo wasn’t afraid to let people know her combat data, as she neither had enemies nor competitors, and this detailed test result was the most effective proof of the test house’s value.
The crowd gradually quieted down to hear what she had to say.
After all, the Talent List didn’t offer specific data or detailed test items.
Liu Luoluo loudly read out her own test results with their corresponding values and interpretations, though it was somewhat embarrassing.
"Liu Luoluo, level 3 Priest, first item, Attack Item, Physical Attack 1 point, grade C-, Magic Attack 7 points, grade B... Third item, Support List, Healing 9 points, grade B+... Combined Combat Power Score 54, and the full score for level 3 Combined Combat Power is 225 points, so my Combined Combat Power Evaluation is G."
"Let me add, the full score for each sub-item at level 3 is 15."
"Do you know how I felt when I saw this result?"
"Terrible, just terrible. I know that if I had worked a little harder, learned a little more, I wouldn’t have gotten such a low score. Talent is important, but it’s not an excuse for not putting in effort."
"In short, this test gave me a lot to think about. My Perception Attribute isn’t high, making it difficult to secure a place on the overall combat power ranking, but on the level 3 Combat Power sub-list, I definitely should not be at the current level."
"I’m going back to cultivate! Let’s encourage each other!"
After Liu Luoluo spoke these serious words, she teleported away from the spot.
Her sincere expression and heartfelt words moved many people.
The test results she revealed also made people eager to find out how many points they could score and whether their strong points had reached the standard for their current level.
The remaining four trialists basically said the same, and one after another, as if invigorated by adrenaline, declared they were returning to cultivate earnestly and then disappeared in a flash.
The second and third waves of trialists reacted similarly.
Regardless of their rankings, it seemed as though they all intensely reflected on themselves for a bit, were unsatisfied with their test results, and without delay, went off to cultivate diligently.
Players had their curiosity piqued – just what magic does this test house possess that turns everyone into a cultivation fanatic?
As more and more players completed the test, information about the test house gradually increased, and those who hadn’t tested began to understand as well.
The test house was like an exam paper on combat power, letting you see your level.
When you see a bunch of basic questions that you could have gotten right with a bit more effort and study, yet you got them wrong, at first you feel remorse and pain, and then isn’t it natural to buckle down and study for a better score on the next try?
Even for those who did well, there are always some mistakes, and then the desire for a higher score and a higher ranking emerges.
Moreover, this was a practical exam, the same paper tested over and over again.
Your every improvement can be detected by this exam paper.
If every advance you make is clearly visible, then what does the hardship of study and cultivation amount to?
The lack of seen results and missing sense of achievement are the main reasons why most people choose to give up striving.
The number of people queuing up at the test house soared suddenly, and even if you had to deposit a registration fee now and wait for ten or fifteen days, it was worth it – who knows when you’d get a chance to test if you wait too long!
The sooner you test, the sooner you improve!
This is when the registration queuing system set up by Mu Ying showed its effect, preventing people from wasting too much time queuing up for the test.
Pay a deposit, and you could leave in less than a minute.
At the same time, the test house and the Talent List also sparked heated discussion on forums.
This time, players from other places felt an unprecedented envy towards those in Qingshan Town.
"The test house is as valuable as an upgraded version of the attribute panel!"
This single-sentence post quickly climbed to the top of the hot comments in just half a day.
There were also hot posts such as "Detailed Rules and Scoring Standards of Qingshan Town’s Test House," "How Was the Test House Built," "Do You Want to Go to Qingshan Town Now That There’s a Test House?" and so on.
Mu Ying, of course, didn’t miss out on these pieces of information, paying the most attention to the top-ranked hot post.
"Having read so many posts about Qingshan Town. I always just thought it was a livable place with a high happiness index among residents. I longed for and envied it but never thought about going there because these weren’t enough to make me leave my hometown. But this time, I want to go. A livable place with a high happiness index that also encourages progress is too rare. Moreover, the test house and adventurer square are just part of the Underground Crystal City mentioned by the Lord of Qingshan Town; the future holds even more possibilities. With its unique facilities and fair and equal rules, Qingshan Town is sure to become a paradise for adventurers!"
"No joke, I have been gathering teleportation fees recently, and soon I’ll be a member of Qingshan Town."
"Cross-ocean Trialist who went to Qingshan Town, any interest in long-haul transportation? We have people here needing to get on board!"
...
"Top ten, no, top fifty combatants on the global level rankings, head to Qingshan Town’s test house and test your Comprehensive Combat Power. Let’s see what level Mu Ying’s combat strength is really at. How is a Druid able to defeat a Magician across levels?"
"Let me tell you something scary, Li Luoxia, the First Priest who is seventh on the global level rankings and only two levels below Mu Ying, ranked even lower than Mu Ying in the support ability list. This means her overall support item score is lower than Mu Ying’s. Are Druid’s support abilities really that strong?"
"As a Druid myself, I am stepping in to clarify—my support abilities are definitely not that strong! As everyone knows, there are two types of Druids: Mu Ying and other Druids."
"Mu Ying has always been first on all lists of the Talent List, whether overall or sub-lists. The Hexagon Warrior truly lives up to the name! I’m so curious about Mu Ying’s Comprehensive Combat Power report!"
