Chapter 93
On Sunday, the 12th graders took their routine test, which followed the procedure of a proper SAT exame
want Each class was
s assigned two proctors.
The students in Class 18 appeared to be in low spirits as the exam felt like a public flagellation to them. The parent–teacher conference would be held after the results were out, which meant another round of punishment at home. Therefore, they hated the tests with a burning passion.
The math test commenced in the morning. After the proctor distributed the tests, Anya hurriedly worked through the questions. Unlike before, Lily did not sleep through the test. Instead, she lazily filled out the bubble sheet
She switched between her left and right hand, answering the questions with messy handwriting She completed the multiple–choice and fill–in–the–blank questions
Within 20 minutes, Lily submitted her papers, to her classmates” disbelief. A few students in the back exchanged glances and whispered, “What’s going on? Has she really completed the test when I’m still struggling to solve many of the problems?”
*Her papers were filled with answers. I think so?
“I thought she was bad at studies? How did she manage to answer all the questions?”
Lily left the classroom amidst the astonished looks of her classmates. Since she didn’t want to disturb the students, she went to the school field where she started playing a popular mobile game to pass the time.
Right after she logged on, a player named “Rizz King” immediately invited her to form a team. She accepted the invitation and entered the room in the game, where only one other player was there.
Once she joined the room, Rizz King immediately started the game. City of Glory was a game where five players were required to form a team. In Lily’s case, she and Rizz King chose to form a team with three randomly assigned players.
After everyone in the team selected their own characters, they proceeded to the game. Rizz King sent an audio message to Lily, “I thought you were in school. How do you have time for the game?”
She recognized Duncan from his voice. He was bored out of his mind having just wrapped up a research, and he decided to pass his time by playing mobile games. “There’s a test today,” Lily replied flatly.
The five players arrived at a mysterious region and ran into five opposing players. Lily swiftly used her techniques to achieve her first kill within five seconds. Duncan sighed. “You sure are different from the others, playing mobile games on a test day!”
Knowing Lily hated complicated rules, exam–taking was torture for her. However, he was surprised to see that she still went about in her usual brazen ways even after transferring to Ember Creek.
Lily ignored him. A boss character appeared in the game. Seeing that, she pressed her control buttons and soared into the sky to battle the boss with various techniques. The players from all teams joined forces to defeat the boss.
The point of the City of Glory wasn’t about one’s body count but the ability of a player to defeat the boss. The boss in the game was tough to defeat. Worse, the players were only allowed a time limit of three minutes to take him down or he would disappear from plain sight
However, a player who defeated the boss would receive a special weapon left behind by the boss. Due to that game design, some professional players would focus daily on defeating the boss.
This time around, Lily and her team ran into a high–level boss. After two minutes of battling, she grew impatient and switched to another weapon.
All players from Lily’s team and the opposing team paused in surprise. Then, a barrage of frantic messages filled her screen.
Someone wrote, “What? Is that a Blood Sword? How did I get to join a team with someone who owns a Blood Sword through random assignment?”
