Chapter 689: Chapter 671: Special Freshman Assessment
[Vortex Town – Fourth Middle School]
Teacher Guo, with his head full of white hair, is still working here. With the Corner gaining approval, he needs to begin the school expansion work.
Moreover, the Screaming Inn has also decided to root itself here, no longer returning to its former location, and some lifelong residents need to undergo a new student assessment.
Additionally, a residency plan for the entire Vortex Town needs to be initiated.
Considering not everyone can pass the extremely difficult and harsh new student assessment, for those monsters with potential but currently not meeting standards, they can take a step back to strive for a “temporary town residency qualification”.
This plan integrates the recruitment methods of the Screaming Inn, allowing free temporary residence within Vortex Town and providing multiple opportunities for school entrance experience.
If they meet the conditions during the temporary residency, they can stay and attempt the second entrance assessment.
At the same time, Vortex Town will also be open to the [Human Exploration Bureau], becoming the first special organization where humans and monsters operate together.
Such expansion will inevitably lead to various conflicts, and many things need consideration. Once Mr. Question Mark is finished with his tasks, he will come over to help complete the relevant rule proposals.
During Teacher Guo’s busy period.
A sense of contact emerged from the edge of the town.
Joke, with a baseball cap and his whole body wrapped in a hoodie, arrived at the office.
Teacher Guo did not immediately turn his head but waited until his tasks at hand were completely finished before he slowly began to speak:
“I thought you wouldn’t accept the invitation. It seems the loss of your arm has greatly affected you.
Rest assured, the invitation from Mr. Question Mark was personally authorized by me. You can now join Vortex Town and become one of us.
As for the return of your arm, you only need to fulfill one condition before it will be returned to you.”
Joke maintained a smile throughout,
Realizing the “wrong stance” the moment his arm was severed and the Outer God was completely vanquished.
To salvage the situation, he had to accept this invitation and come here to make a desperate gamble.
Merely surviving was no longer an option, as it would only lead to a slow death.
Maintaining his smile, a voice seeped through the mist: “Ah~ say it, whatever the condition is, I’ll agree to it.
But then, considering that your organization adheres strictly to rules, I suppose the condition will be relatively fair.”
Teacher Guo stirred the air with his hand, producing a document that appeared directly in Joke’s hand.
“Special New Student Entrance Assessment (Personalized)”
Given the candidate [Joke]’s past actions of betraying the Corner and turning to the Outer Realm, this new student assessment will be conducted in a special customized mode.
Your entrance assessment officer will be: Luo Di
Using Vortex Town’s privilege, you will go to the Human World as a [monster entity], and the specific assessment address will be given to you in the form of a Question Mark once you arrive.
At that time, the assessment officer will conduct a one-on-one assessment for new students, with no direct external intervention during the process.
*It is noteworthy that, due to rules and stability issues in the Human World, please strictly adhere to the rules and scene restrictions during the assessment.
Teacher Guo continued to explain:
“This is a very fair new student assessment, with no biases or disadvantages against you.
If you meet the assessment requirements and successfully enroll, Luo Di as your assessment officer will not only return your arm but also grant you various privileges in Vortex Town.
I will also no longer pursue the issue of the two students you once killed.
Of course, if you find this assessment inappropriate, you can refuse and leave this place without any harm coming to you during the entire process.”
Joke, naturally no fool, immediately pointed it out: “Hiss~ this was probably Luo Di’s suggestion, right? Indeed, based on the content above, it aligns well with the school’s style and is indeed very fair.
I didn’t expect to have this chance. Thank you so much, Luo Di is truly a good kid.
How do I sign to confirm, and when do I depart?”
“Just sign with blood on the document, and you’ll be considered a member of Vortex Town.
Afterward, you’ll need to visit the school cafeteria to enjoy a delicious and sumptuous custom meal, to restore you to the best physical condition and meet the standards before the assessment.
Later, you’ll travel through the vortex to reach the shallow end of the Corner, and from there, go directly to the Human World.
Note that once you reach the other side, you must not engage in any world-interfering behaviors, including murder, thought influence, or indirectly inciting social unrest.
If you violate this, you will be forcibly repatriated, and the teacher team will completely erase you then.”
Joke became lively, “Wow! There’s even gourmet food. If I’m not mistaken, Hunter is in charge of cafeteria affairs, right? Let me see if his culinary skills have improved.
As for the safety and stability, there’s no need for worry, Teacher Guo.
I’ll be very honest and won’t cause any trouble! Thanks to Teacher Guo and Luo Di for giving me such an opportunity, I will strive hard.
If I can successfully join you, I will start anew with the most upright attitude, contributing my effort to resisting the Outer Realm.”
Joke put on an obediently honest appearance, forcing a rigid smile while rhythmically moving his fingers to bid farewell.
Teacher Guo, as if finishing an assignment, continued to immerse himself in work, without any change in mood.
Joke walked on the grass-lined playground, inhaling the scent of grass and earth, feeling the fresh atmosphere of the campus.
He suddenly pinched his nose.
It seemed aroma was foul.
“Such a repulsive place, reeking with stench, a place does not fit the Corner… Making me live here long term is worse than killing me.
Truly a misstep leading to many wrongs, standing in the wrong position, this is the outcome.
Luckily dear Luo Di is giving me this chance, offering me an opportunity to make a comeback.
What I did back then was completely correct. If I hadn’t given him that deeply engraved impression of his whole family dying, he wouldn’t have become so obsessed.
I wish I could relive it, to see his expression back then, the delicious despair was just too wonderful. Fresh chapters posted on noᴠelfire.net
I will survive, I will sever the heads of everyone here. By then, this school will have a fragrant aroma…”
While Joke was lost in various fantasies in his mind, he unknowingly walked off the playground, eventually being stopped at the cafeteria’s entrance.
A closed-for-business sign was posted at the entrance of the cafeteria.
As he wondered, footsteps suddenly sounded from behind, as if a large mouth was about to engulf him completely.
A palm lightly rested on Joke’s shoulder.
“Due to my injury, the cafeteria is closed for a week. But, Teacher Guo arranged for me to cook a meal for you today.”
“Oh~ Hunter! You’ve changed so much~ you’ve already reached this level. Back then, you even assisted me, standing from the Outer Realm’s position to ambush Luo Di. They actually wanted you, and gave you such an important position.
In this light, I really do stand a chance!
Rest assured, I will change my ways and become a better person!”
Hunter did not respond, with one hand in a special sling, he used the other to push open the cafeteria door and signaled for Joke to follow inside.
Joke sat there quietly waiting,
Shortly, Hunter arrived with the cooked meal.
A whole roast goose, a whole roast chicken, a slab of barbecued pork, an aged wine, and a freshly cooked bowl of rice, with chopsticks inserted upright into it.
“Smells great~ but this setup feels a bit inauspicious.”
“Delicious! You’ve really improved your cooking skills. I must work hard then, strive to become your colleague, and come here for every meal.
I worry that staying here for a month might make me gain another twenty pounds.
By the way, haven’t seen the obedient nephew for a while. Wonder where he’s gone? I even prepared gifts.”
J oke continued his chattering nonstop.
Hunter just silently observed without responding, his mind already focused on other things. Later, he’d also need to prepare a nutritious meal for Mr. Jia Wen.
By the time Joke was full, his belly was rounder, and the fear core embedded in the meal restored him to his best state.
“It’s so delicious, it even replenished my fatigue from these past days! Thanks, Hunter, see you next time.”
Hunter made no farewell gestures, merely collected all the dishes.
[Human World, United Nations, Jupiter City]
Wearing a baseball cap, the clown with a bulging belly followed the hints from the letter and took a bus to a location.
The old building here had been demolished, currently in the land bidding phase, with no new constructions yet.
Despit being full of caution tape,
There was an eerie, dark photography set erected inside.
Someone was standing there waving, signaling for Joke to come over. Judging by the person’s physique, they seemed even fatter than Joke, with their belly almost touching the ground, and holding a large bottle of cola in one hand.
