I Was Admitted To The Villain School - Chapter 4.1

Lin Xinghe sorted out the rules of the villain school and confirmed that what she needed to worry about most at the moment was the freshman exam.

After all, she didn’t know what would be on it. The unknown was a source of fear.

Gu Taoyao also didn’t know what exam room Lin Xinghe would be assigned to. She had been in the school for more than a year, and no exam room or content had ever been the same.

To help Xinghe feel better, Gu Taoyao invited her to her dorm during their lunch break. When they got there, she turned on her computer and navigated to the exam livestream.

Lin Xinghe was bewildered and asked, “There’s even a live broadcast of the exam?”

“Of course there is. If there is a plane mall, of course there will be plane audiences. They are people, or maybe other highly intelligent beings, from other worlds who seem to be very interested in our exams. The school also cooperates with them. The live broadcast of the examination room is not only for the candidates but also for them. If you perform well in the examination room, you can get rewards from them, which can be converted into points. However, such points are only usable in the plane mall and won’t count for your rating points.”

“Can rating points be able to buy things in the plane mall?”

“Yes, but it’s not worth it. Only those who have too many points to spend will waste their points on the mall. Also, those who don’t have any self-defense skills, such as the ordinary students in our modern department, have to scrounge up points to buy self-defense tools in order to survive.”

Seeing Gu Taoyao searching for the new student exam broadcast, Lin Xinghe asked thoughtfully,  “Being able to connect with the world of different planes proves that the technological level of this world has surpassed that of our modern era department. Why do we still use computers and mobile phones? Aren’t there more high-tech products, like optical brains or computers that work at the speed of light? .”

“I had the same doubts when I came. Later, I learned that Principal Wang loves the cyberpunk style. He is trendy yet nostalgic. Obviously, the bracelets have holographic projection options, which can completely replace mobile phones and computers. But for some reason, the school limits the uses of these bracelets, which forces us to use mobile phones and computers…”

At this time, Gu Taoyao exclaimed, “Hey, look! Fewer freshmen have been coming in, so there are fewer exams for them. Look, this is the exam of the ancient era department next door, and there’s only ten participants. Because they are freshmen and have a protection period, there is no elimination system. As long as they survive to the end, they can get the guaranteed minimum points.”

The screen showed an island. From the camera’s point of view, the surrounding weeds were overgrown, seemingly hiding danger, and the faint howling of wolves was audible. The broadcaster was a girl who looked delicate, sporting the ancient era department’s style. When the examination room rules and content popped up on her cyan bracelet, she was still in a bit of a hurry.

A banner on the top showed the exam prompt—

Please survive on the isolated island for three days.

Gu Taoyao commented: “This is actually decent. It’s not difficult because there is no elimination system, so as long as she has a good relationship with the other nine freshmen of the ancient department and can find food and water, she can easily survive three days and get the guaranteed score.”

Gu Taoyao clicked on another one.

“Xinghe, look at this. The freshman exam of the fantasy department is a little more difficult. The exam room is set in an ancient battlefield. The exam question is to successfully infiltrate a country’s battlefield and kill an enemy without using special talents. A soldier is an inconsequential thing to them, but they can’t use their abilities, so it is a bit difficult.”

Lin Xinghe found that the number of viewers was also displayed on the fantasy department’s live broadcast. However, there were not many. The number of live viewers of the freshmen of the ancient department was still in the single digits, and although the fantasy department’s viewer count broke through the double digits, there were still less than 20 viewers.

Lin Xinghe said, “It seems it isn’t easy for newcomers to survive.”

Gu Taoyao said: “No one really watches the modern era and ancient era department exams, but the ancient era department has slightly more viewers. After all, there are some people who know martial arts, and there are Gu masters* and the like. Some of the highly intelligent creatures like martial arts, and there is also a group of devoted ancient era department exam watchers. The viewers are generally concentrated among the A-level and S-level students.”

*Gu technique is a medicine-magic concept in ancient China, comparable to the techniques of shamans.

Lin Xinghe finally got the gist of the school examination process. She told Gu Taoyao, “Thank you so much for telling me so much. Let’s go out to lunch together.”

Gu Taoyao hurriedly shook her head, suggesting, “No, no, you are new here, so you should focus on saving up points.”

Lin Xinghe replied, “It’s fine. It doesn’t look like it’s difficult to accumulate points. Today, the potion seller said that his broom was worth 50 points, which means I earned the guaranteed points for an exam today.”

Gu Taoyao… shed tears of envy.
