Volume 19 Chapter 77 Joining the Association Test

"Dr. Haas!" Seeing the pile of books and the waving hands, I rushed over, pulled open the books on it twice, then reached out and pulled out a thin old man less than one meter two in height. "Are you okay Dr. Haas?"

"It's okay, I'm strong, this doctor is so strong that I can't kill these books?" The old man in my hand was tidying up his clothes while blowing his skin. He turned to me until I put him on the ground and said, "By the way, are you going to take someone here to test again?"

"Yes, all three of them need to be tested." I pointed to the last three.

Dr. Haas looked up at the three people, and then said, "Come with me." The old man said, then turned around and walked towards a door in the inner room. I quickly signaled the priest mm and the other three to follow.

After passing through the door, we entered a small library. After passing through another door here, we entered a long corridor. We walked to the end of the corridor and turned a corner before us. The reason why this door was special was mainly because the structure of this door was completely different from other doors in the library. All the doors we saw when we came in were wood, but the door in front of us was made of stone slabs, and a very complex magic array was painted on it. There was a huge magic crystal inlaid at the eye of the array.

Dr. Haas walked to the door and gently pressed his hand on the magic crystal. The two statues standing quietly on both sides of the magic crystal suddenly came alive and opened their eyes to look at Dr. Haas and me, and then he stood straight to the two of us as if he suddenly reacted. "Sir, President! Dr. Haas."

Haas nodded and said, "Open the door."

I nodded, and then the two stone statues turned around and pressed gently on the wall behind me. Two round holes slightly thinner than human legs were opened on the wall. The two golems guards looked at each other, then the golem on the left stretched out their left hand, and the golem on the right stretched out their right hand. The two golem on the same time pushed their hands into the hole, and then turned to the middle at the same time. The door in front of us suddenly rose with a bang in just one second, opening the passage completely in front of us.

"Come in." After saying that, Dr. Haas walked in first, and the three of us followed him into the interior. After we entered, the two golem guards turned their arms back to their original positions and pulled them back. The door fell down the moment they let go.

After entering the gate, we did not enter the target room, but a small space similar to an elevator. After we stood up, the room suddenly fell down, and then maintained this speed and dropped for more than ten seconds before starting to slow down. Finally, after the elevator stopped stably, the door we had just entered opened again, but there was a different scene outside.

"This is the underground library of our Guild Library, which is specially used to store backup books." I explained to the priest mm and the others: "All books in Zero have durability except skill books, and books cannot be repaired and can only be backed up. For example, many books in our Guild Library with higher borrowing frequency will be damaged very quickly, so we need to back up many commonly used books."

Priest mm nodded and said, "The big guilds are indeed different. The details are much more comprehensive than those of small and medium-sized guilds."

As we were chatting, Dr. Haas suddenly said in front: "Okay, that's it."

When I heard Dr. Haas's words, I turned my attention back. Now we were parked in a not-so-large room, and the room was basically empty, with only a disk like a teleportation array under the corner of the wall opposite the front door. However, the disk was obviously not a teleportation array, because there were many pipes connected to a huge machine that looked like a console.

"Is this what you usually use to test members?" Priest mm was obviously puzzled why he couldn't test the martial arts training ground and wanted to come to this place.

I shook my head and explained to the priest mm: "On ordinary times, our guild collects large testers. This is a small one. You can only test up to five people at a time, but you only have three people, so just use it. As for how to test it, it is actually very simple. After you stand up, you will be teleported out after we start the machine, and there will be various hidden prompts. As long as you can successfully complete the task goals we hope for, even if you pass. Of course, this test is time-limited, and it is impossible for you to do unlimited tasks in it. Generally, the test time is six hours. Of course, if you want it to be shorter, we can also finish the test in advance. Have you thought about it?"

"Of course it's six hours. Isn't it a loss if I'm short?" said the warrior brought by Priest mm.

I smiled without comment and said, "Then you guys stand up."

Hearing my words, the few people stood up together, and then Dr. Haas started several machines and finally said, "You will report your names, occupations and levels first, and then I will start testing."

After hearing this, the Priest mm said, "My name is the Blood Scythe, and her profession is the Shadow Knight, level 901." I was stunned when I heard the words of the Priest mm, because this was different from the level she said before, but I guess she wanted to retain some hidden strength at that time, which was also a normal reaction of a normal person, which is understandable.

The archer brought by the priest mm, followed the priest mm and said, "My name is the Blood Arrow, and my profession is the Soul Sniper, level 897."

The last warrior said, "My name is the sword of blood, and my profession is the soul warrior, level 871."

After listening to the report of the three people, Dr. Haas nodded directly and pushed the switch on the machine to the maximum. Then the three people seemed to be knocked out and suddenly fell down. "Okay, carry them over." Dr. Haas didn't feel panic when he saw the three of them falling down. He just calmly pressed the operating table a few times, and then five special fixed beds rose on the ground.

In fact, the thing that looked like a teleportation array just now was not a real teleportation array, so naturally it could not teleport people into the task world. In fact, the real body of that thing is a soul shock, which is basically the same as an electric shock device, which can knock people out in an instant. As for the thing I mentioned before, it will teleport them to the test task, that actually deceived them. But it is not wrong to say that I can enter the task through this thing, because the real test must be guaranteed to be executed in a sleep state.

Looking at the three beds rising on the ground, I didn't express any surprise. After all, this trick has already made many people secret, so I personally let several people go up on it, so I was familiar with this process. I reached out and picked up the Blood Scythe and put it on the special bed, and then used the metal fixer on the bed to fix her hands, feet, waist and most important head. After confirming that it would not be released, I turned around and got the other two to the other two empty beds and were also fixed.

Seeing that I had fixed three people, Dr. Haas pressed the console again, and then opened five openings on the top of the room and lowered five telescopic arms with many steering joints. The telescopic arms themselves are not thick and only serve as a support. On these five telescopic arms, each of them is hung with a tube covered with dense magic patterns, and this tube is finally connected to something like a metal scorpion at the tip of the robot arm.

I first walked to the side of the Blood Scythe, which is the Priest mm, and then reached out to pull down the telescopic arm hanging above my head. I pulled the telescopic arm all the way to the head of the bed, and used the steering joint on the telescopic arm to flip the metal scorpion at the top, and then inserted it inward through the hole reserved below the head of the bed. With a click, the six legs of the metal scorpion passing through the hole suddenly closed and exactly stuck the neck of the Blood Scythe. Then I pulled a handle on the telescopic arm down. The scorpion tail of the metal scorpion suddenly came back with a tingling sound, and a threaded hole was exposed on the opposite side of the tail needle.

"Where is the medicine?" I looked up and asked Dr. Haas.

“Here.”

Dr. Haas picked up three crystal bottles as big as oral liquid from the operating table and threw them over. After I took the bottle, I put two of them aside first, and then pointed the bottle mouth of the remaining bottle at the thread mouth behind the scorpion needle. After confirming that the bottle was fixed, I pushed the handle that I had pulled down before. The moment I pushed the handle on the handle, with a sound, the bottle on the opposite side of the scorpion tail was pulled into the scorpion tail. At the same time, the scorpion tail needle that had just been taken back also popped out instantly, and the green liquid in the bottle was dripped downwards.

After seeing the tail needle popping out, I pressed a switch on the telescopic arm. The tail needle that was originally hanging behind the neck of the Blood Scythe suddenly retracted. The needle nearly two inches long with a cold silver light instantly hit the blood Scythe's spine. At the same time, the Blood Scythe was thrusting violently, but it quickly relaxed.

After seeing the Blood Scythe relaxed again, I leaned up and spread her eyelids with my fingers. After confirming that her pupils were dilated normally, I turned around and walked towards the other two beds. After connecting the two of them in the same way, I walked back to Dr. Haas and said, "Okay, let's start."

Dr. Haas nodded, then pressed a huge red button on the console.

As Dr. Haas started the machine, the three people on the bed seemed to have been electrocuted suddenly. Although multiple parts of their bodies were fixed, they almost left the bed. If there weren't a fixture, the three people would have jumped up. However, this convulsion lasted only a few seconds and returned to normal. Then the three people stopped struggling, but as the test progressed, someone would occasionally shake unconsciously, but the violent resistance like before did not happen again.

"It looks pretty good," said Dr. Haas.

I also looked at the operation table after hearing this, and saw that three crystal stones representing the test results of the three people on the operation table had already lit up three pieces. This tester is to judge a person's psychological characteristics through the behavior of people in artificial dreams. The first level of our guild's entry test is actually a psychological test, not a combat effectiveness test that many people think. In fact, the three of the Blood Scythe and the three of them do not need to show strong combat effectiveness in dreams, and it doesn't matter that their task fails in dreams, because this test mainly measures their psychology rather than their strength. Compared to the requirements for completing the task, being able to show unity and persistence in the task is the most important. Of course, it would be better if the task can be completed by the way.

Because players are actually in a dream when they are connected to the game, dreaming in the game is dreaming. This superposition form of dreaming is very low because the system has many computing tasks, so even ordinary people can easily withstand dreams in the dream at about ten times the speed. Based on this principle, the three of the Blood Scythe and the others are actually in a time fast forward way. We observed the data outside for ten minutes, which is actually more than an hour for them, and the external test time of the entire task is one hour, which means that they only have ten hours in the task.

Given that the observation time was not very long and I was very optimistic about the Scythe of Blood, I did not run around during this hour. Instead, I connected the communication of the Soldier God while chatting with the Soldier God about some backlog of guild work arrangements while observing the changes of the three people.

Although the three people were doing tasks in their dreams, because the physical signals could not be completely isolated, their bodies would still quit from time to time. What I had to observe was whether they had an overreaction, because that situation generally means that they were in a state of extreme mental abnormality during the task, such as near-death or injury. Of course, in addition to observing their bodies, the number of crystal stones on the instrument also needs to be paid attention to, after all, that thing is directly related to their assessment results.

When half an hour passed, that is, five hours in the task, the three people on the bed suddenly became agitated. Although they didn't see any big moves, the three people were constantly twisting like bugs on their bodies, very restless.

"It seems they are in trouble." Dr. Haas said when he saw the restlessness of the three of them.

I nodded and was about to answer the conversation when I suddenly saw the Blood Sword on the bed at the last, and then I suddenly arched upwards and smashed back to the bed. Then I heard a chirping sound. The liquid in the bottle fixed on the scorpion needle under his head was suddenly injected into his spine. All the fixtures on the bed, including the metal scorpion stuck on his neck, bounced up together, and the Blood Sword jumped up from the bed in an instant.

"Ah..." The sword of blood that suddenly bounced from the bed slid to the ground. Before he could stand firm, he waved his hand and made a stab. However, when he reached out, he found that something was wrong. He looked down and saw that his hand was empty. Looking around, he was still in the room where he entered the mission before, and the monsters and two companions in the mission were gone.

"Okay, okay, don't be nervous, it's just a picture in the mission." I walked over and comforted the Blood Sword, who was still in a state of tension, and said: "You should have died in the mission just now, and now you have been sent back."

When I heard that he was sent back, the tension of the Sword of Blood disappeared immediately, but his expression clearly showed that he was in a very low mood. However, when he turned around and saw the arrow of Blood and the Scythe of Blood, he took a step back in surprise, and then looked vigilantly at me that he almost drew his sword.

"Don't be nervous, they're just doing the task, they haven't completed it yet." I explained to the Blood Sword: "Have you seen this bed? You're doing the task just now."

"Aren't we teleported out?" asked the Blood Sword with some confusion.

"It's not that I was teleported, but that I was knocked out." I explained to him: "I lied to you before, with the purpose of making you believe that you have really entered the mission. In fact, your bodies have not moved, and the mission just now was just a dream. They are still dreaming, that is, they are still doing the mission."

After listening to my explanation, the Blood Sword also relaxed. Of course, it was not because he believed my explanation, but because he figured it out by himself. With the strength of my Frost Rose Alliance and I, it would be okay to harm them anyway. There was no need to lie to them at all, so he felt that there was no point in being on guard against me.

After believing my words, the expression of the Blood Sword became lonely again. Looking at the two people on the bed, his expression seemed very complicated.

At least I have taken many people to do tests. I have seen many expressions like the Blood Sword, so I can tell why he was in a low mood at a glance. He didn't know that this test was actually just a psychological test, and he thought he could pass the task, but he lost half of his task, which was obviously unqualified. With such an understanding, it would be strange if he could be in a good mood.

Seeing that he was so pitiful, I felt embarrassed to make him sad anymore, so I asked directly: "Why do you have this expression? Do you say you don't want to join our Frost Rose Alliance? What does it mean to have a look of disappointment after passing the passage?"

The Blood Sword suddenly heard my words and didn't react for a while, but just replied habitually: "I don't think I won't have this expression. I am sad because I can't join me! You said I passed..." When he said this, the Blood Sword suddenly became stunned. "What did you say? I passed?"

I smiled and nodded, then pointed to the other side of the operating table and said, "You lit up fourteen of the twenty white crystals, and one of the red crystals was not lit. If you fail, our Frost Rose Alliance will have to wipe out at least half of the people."

"Wait... I'm a little too lazy to turn around. What do you mean by crystal?"

"Hehe, it doesn't mean anything, it's just that what you did just now was not a combat effectiveness test, but a psychological test."

"What? Is this a psychological test?" Blood Sword looked at me in surprise and asked.

I nodded and said, "Yes, this is a psychological test, specifically used to test the bright and dark sides of a person's psychological aspects. In fact, there were many test scenarios about human nature in the task before. Didn't you feel that those scenes make you embarrassed?"

The Blood Sword remembered after hearing what I said. "Yes! There were many scenes before, which made me very difficult to make up my mind. It felt like those tasks were tempting people to fall!"

"That's actually a task trap. If you choose an option that is beneficial to yourself, you will seriously hurt your companions. If you are a person with normal psychology, you may rather suffer a small loss than make sure your companions do not suffer a big loss. However, if you are extremely selfish, you will choose to hurt your companions Gu Quan. Such a task is to test people's psychological reactions. Therefore, the task goals you have obtained before are actually meaningless. Whether you complete or not has no effect on whether you can join the association. The real rating depends entirely on your choice in those small tasks."

"So that's it!" The Blood Sword suddenly realized: "So what's going on with the crystal you just mentioned?"

"These panels use twenty red crystals and twenty white crystals to represent the virtues and evil deeds of the tested personnel. If you light up the fourteen white crystals, it means that you have fourteen of them, and if the red crystal is not bright, it means that you have not committed evil deeds in the mission. Although the mission is not long, it cannot mean that you have no shortcomings at all, but at least it can mean that you have a very good character."

"I'm dizzy. Is it not about your ability but about your character?"

"It's almost the same. People outside think that our guild only cares about strength. In fact, the elites we guild are elites in personal character, not elites in combat power."

After hearing my words, the Blood Sword looked at the control board and asked, "Whose test results are the ones that have lit up ten white crystals and one red crystals?"

"It's the Scythe of Blood."

"Does the eldest sister actually have personality shortcomings?" Xue Yi Sword sighed and asked, "By the way, can you tell which shortcomings or advantages are you?"

I nodded and said, "Of course, our technology is very advanced."

"What's the disadvantage of the red crystal on our elder sister's head?"

"Let me see." I glanced at the lit red crystal position and said, "It's cowardly."

"What?"

"Don't be so surprised, her strong white crystal is also bright. A person's personality is usually two-sided. It's not surprising that a person is strong and cowardly at the same time. Moreover, your elder sister is a girl after all. Although she usually shows strongness, it's not surprising that she has some weaknesses in character, right?"
