My daily mountain driving, I met a fox at the beginning and got married

The bodies of the Minotaur and the beauty were also floating in the water, but they did not struggle or take any action. Even the violent Minotaur just watched the actions of the people around him silently without taking any action.

Zhang Hao wanted to let them go first, and then find the pattern from their actions to escape. After all, he felt that his strength was still not as good as others. But unexpectedly, the two of them seemed to have not seen him, and their attention was all on others.

In desperation, Zhang Hao could only rush forward, hoping that he could be the lucky one.

However, when he touched the water wall, the powerful impact made him cry out in pain.

He finally understood that the white thing was another difficult barrier set by the examiner. Once the weaker ones touched it, they would be blocked and unable to escape. He had seen several people struggling frantically inside but to no avail. Only those who were stronger than this wall could pass. This seemed like a fun little game, but in fact it was a simple and crude screening method, eliminating all those who had passed by luck and those who were weak, so that they would die here and never become a burden on the second floor.

What a meticulous mind! What a vicious heart!

Zhang Hao's heart sank, because he felt that he had both. He was not a person of extraordinary strength, nor did he rely on wisdom to get to this point. It was all luck, and he met two people who were easy to deceive.

He glanced back at his two companions. The minotaur was still continuing his research, while the beauty had already retracted her gaze and swam towards him.

Although they can breathe freely in the water, they can't make any sound when they want to speak, and their ears are in unbearable pain. In such an environment, it is simply impossible to express their actions or thoughts with their bodies, because people with weaker strength cannot control the direction in which their bodies float.

The beauty pointed to her briefcase, handed it to Zhang Hao, and then pushed him towards the wall.

Zhang Hao didn't want to experience the pain just now again, so he struggled. Unexpectedly, the beauty hugged him from behind, hugged his waist tightly, and continued to push him forward.

Zhang Hao stopped struggling because he felt the beauty patting his stomach gently. The action was extremely gentle, like comforting and a promise. Although he didn't hear anything, he had guessed the beauty's thoughts. The beauty asked him to believe in herself.

Zhang Hao closed his eyes, and the next moment his body was touched by that powerful force. The overwhelming pain was even more unbearable than the water around him.

Zhang Hao gritted his teeth and tried his best to prevent himself from screaming.

The next moment, the pain suddenly disappeared. He opened his eyes in surprise and found that he was actually standing outside the wall. It was the beauty who pushed him out!

He looked back at the beauty in surprise, but the beauty put the briefcase back and waved to the Minotaur.

The minotaur nodded and walked out of the wall of water effortlessly.

Both of them have such strength, except Zhang Hao himself.

He looked at the examiner somewhat guiltily, but the examiner smiled at him gently.

"It's a skill to find teammates who really care about you and are strong. Some people can really reach the top purely by luck. I don't discriminate against people like you. On the contrary, I think you are rare."

Although this was a compliment, Zhang Hao felt a little embarrassed.

After several minutes of trial, only more than 200 of the more than 100 people who had remained managed to escape, and many people were still suspended in the water, motionless.

Their expressions were different, some were smiling, some seemed to be talking, some were angry, some were in pain, these vivid expressions were forever frozen on their faces, turning into an eternal picture. Zhang Hao understood that these people had died here, died under this absurd rule, died at the hands of the examiner who played with human nature.

It seems that even if the examiner looks kind, he has his own agenda. Zhang Hao secretly vowed that he would never trust any examiner in this tower again, but the two companions around him could be trusted.

The examiner snapped his fingers, and the wall of water collapsed instantly and disappeared, along with those people, their weapons, voices, and even their memories, all disappeared without a trace.

Judging from the expressions of the beauty and the minotaur, they seemed to know nothing about what had just happened, but Zhang Hao remembered it clearly. He looked at the examiner in surprise, and the examiner looked back at him with the same look.

"You came up from the negative first floor, right?"

"How did you know?"

"People coming up from there will not be affected by any of the benefits or debuffs in this tower, as if they were outside the rules..."

Is it that Zhang Hao is so lucky because he is outside the rules?
But this shouldn't happen. Even if luck comes, it shouldn't happen to me...

Zhang Hao asked himself, his strength is not strong, maybe he could barely dominate in the past, but now here, anyone can easily defeat him.

The next exam is about to begin and the examiner begins to introduce the exam rules.

"There is a passage in front of you with 10 doors in it. You can freely choose one to open. A positive or negative buff will appear randomly behind the door. You will bear this effect in the next second and third levels, or even in the next ten years. Whether you win or lose, it may determine your fate, so please choose carefully.

The situations behind the red door and the blue door are different. Perhaps there is a positive effect behind the red door and a negative effect behind the blue door, but when the next person enters, the situation may be reversed, with the red door becoming negative and the blue door becoming positive.

Everything inside the door changes over time, including buffs that gradually increase or decrease. Trust your heart and intuition."

After the rules were introduced, a deep tunnel appeared out of nowhere. A faint light flickered in the depths of the tunnel, with blue and red colors interweaving. It was obviously the light emitted by those doors.

Zhang Hao retreated to the side of his two teammates.

"What are your names?"

"Why are you suddenly asking about my name?" the beauty asked curiously.

"Nothing, I just feel that this tower is extremely dangerous, and we don't know when we will encounter an accident. Since we are partners and have been through so much, I should know your names to avoid any regrets."

"If we are eliminated, we must advance and retreat together, and no one will be spared." Having said that, the beauty still told Zhang Hao her name.

"My name is Raymond."

Zhang Hao turned to the Minotaur next to him, and the Minotaur also looked a little surprised.

"My name is Red."

One is called Raymond and the other is called Red. The names sound like twins, but one is a burly minotaur and the other is a stunning beauty.

The teams in front entered one after another, some screamed, while others walked out with red faces. From their expressions, one could almost tell whether they got positive or negative effects.

However, at this moment, Zhang Hao had no idea what the nature of the effects these people had obtained were.

In other words, the effects they obtain may very well become their trump card or fatal weakness in the next exam, but these will not be known to their opponents in advance and they still need to explore them themselves.

More than 100 people were divided into more than 30 teams. Zhang Hao's team always kept a low profile and always chose to act in the middle or at the end. But this time, many people were hesitant. More than ten minutes had passed since the last team finished the test, but no one dared to enter the next team. Raymond stood up and said to the other two, "Shall we go in?"

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the people around them all focused on them.

They are the ones who dare to step up in difficult situations, so everyone is curious about what abilities they actually have.

Before this, since they had not done anything out of the ordinary, most people did not fully understand their strength.

Only the snake girl's team had a strange light in their eyes.

They have taken the test before and the gains they received were positive!

If this effect can be used to eliminate that team in the next assessment, all past grudges can be written off.

The little girl gently tugged at the snake woman's sleeve.

"Let's stop staring at others like this. We need to be more low-key."

"Why should we keep a low profile? In many assessments, I am almost always the first to advance. I am confident that my strength ranks among the best. Now we should show our strong momentum, so that we can shock others, right?"

Having said that, we must remember that there are always people better than us, and there are many people who are good at hiding their own strength.

The girl turned her gaze towards Zhang Hao with a hint of vigilance in her eyes.

She felt that Zhang Hao was actually a strong man, but he had not yet shown his potential.

However, she did witness Zhang Hao's strength in the alpine meadow. She saw Zhang Hao conjure up a black object and threw it between the two powerful men, who were instantly blown away more than ten meters.

That scene left an indelible impression on the little girl. She had never seen such a strange weapon, nor had she seen anything with such power. It was simply amazing...

On the other side, Zhang Hao, Raymond and Red have entered the tunnel.

As they stepped in, they discovered that the doors in the tunnel were not all the same.

Some doors were round, some were square, and some were even triangular. They really couldn't figure out why there were doors of this shape, and could only guess that they were not just doors, but passages leading to various enchantments. As long as they stepped into the enchantment, they would gain corresponding benefits.

Raymond suddenly looked at Zhang Hao.

"Which door do you think we should walk through for good luck?"

"I don't know. I've never had good luck. Don't ask me about this. If you ask me, something unexpected might happen."

"That's great!" Raymond seemed quite excited when he heard this. He clapped his hands and said with a smile, "Then you choose one!"

Zhang Hao felt helpless. He knew that his choice might not be good, but he was still asked to choose?

"To be frank, I actually want negative gains... I feel that so far, the various forces have not brought me any pressure. I am a person who needs pressure to stimulate my potential, so I need negative gains."

Zhang Hao cast an inquiring look at Red, who was whistling leisurely and wiping his spear. When he noticed Zhang Hao's gaze, he turned his head away nonchalantly.

"Strength is king. No matter what kind of gain you get, I can handle it with ease. You can do whatever you want. I don't care."

At this point, Zhang Hao naturally couldn't refuse any longer. He nodded, walked forward and casually pushed open a door.

The door was very ordinary, square and blue, because in Zhang Hao's impression, red often symbolizes danger. If red represents danger, it means negative effects. He still has a little selfishness in his heart, hoping to get positive effects...

His little thoughts did not escape Red's eyes. Red smiled slightly, looked down at his toes, and then followed Zhang Hao in without hesitation. Raymond also picked up the spear and followed closely behind.

Five minutes later, they walked out of the tunnel, the three of them with different expressions.

Zhang Hao had a blank expression, Red looked melancholy, and Raymond was full of joy. The three people's completely different expressions confused those who tried to judge the benefits they had obtained through their expressions.

They had no way of judging what effect the three people had achieved.

After them, all teams started hiding their emotions. After receiving the buff, they either remained silent or acted extremely happy or extremely sad.

When an emotion reaches its extreme, people begin to doubt its authenticity.

Showing extreme excitement may have a negative effect; showing extreme sadness may have a positive effect.

Of course, their attributes may be completely opposite, but they are exaggerated to confuse others.

In the observation room, the examiner couldn't help but chuckle, then turned to look at a short man in a white robe next to him.

"I told you before that this person is very likely to change the rules of my examination room. Look, a pest has really come to my garden. It's really unpleasant."

"There are so many flowers in the garden, one or two won't make a difference. We've been looking at the same old things for hundreds and thousands of years, don't you think it would be more interesting to have something new and exciting?"

The man spoke with a weak breath and a soft voice. He would stop every few sentences to take a deep breath, and then cover his mouth and cough violently. He was extremely weak, but his expression was calm as usual, as if the disease did not cause him any trouble.

The examiner shook his head, then squatted down to look the man in the eye.

"Pay more attention to the man who can change the rules. Maybe he has everything you want. From now on, I will target him like crazy. After all, I like things that remain unchanged."

"Oh? Then you'd better wait and see what kind of changes this person will bring to you. I haven't encountered such an interesting thing in a long time. Maybe I will interfere with your actions!"

"It's okay, Kevin. Haven't we been fighting like this for thousands of years? We agreed that there should be some excitement to prove that we are all still alive. Now don't break your promise. The harder I target you, the harder you fight back. Do you understand?"

"Got it, you go out first, I want to rest for a while."

In this tower, days passed unchanged for hundreds of years, and their state of mind also quietly changed.

It may look beautiful on the surface, but if you peel off this gorgeous outer layer, perhaps hidden in the pistil is a poisonous snake with bared fangs, ready to strike. (End of this chapter)
