No health bar? You call this stunningly beautiful NPC sickly?

Mu Zhixi spoke so matter-of-factly that the two fleshy-headed proctors froze completely upon hearing this.

"You...cheated? And you just said it out loud?"

The moment the thought crossed their minds, they realized their lapse in composure, and their survival instincts made them instantly change their minds.

"Of course you can cheat!"

"No, Your Majesty, how can you call it cheating? These rules only apply to ordinary people; they mean nothing to you."

"It's perfectly fine if you tell them!"

These words, amplified by some kind of loudspeaker and through walls that were already extremely poorly soundproofed, were clearly heard by the many players in the nine adjacent examination rooms.

In an instant, all the players who were deep in thought and barely daring to breathe had a series of question marks pop into their minds.

? ? ? !

They...they cheated? Listening to those two proctors, they're not even going to pretend anymore? What happened to fair competition? What happened to the reward for reporting cheating?

What is this? Is the government orchestrating this?

Mu Zhixi listened to the two strange and incoherent explanations and felt somewhat bored.

In her opinion, isn't memorizing all the knowledge points in advance the biggest form of cheating? Her original intention was to frustrate these players and make them come up with new survival wisdom in their despair.

But now it seems best to forget about it.

She, Mu Zhixi, is a kind-hearted and compassionate cunning woman.

Just then, a series of heavy and rhythmic footsteps came from outside the corridor, making quite a commotion.

Even though the players were writing furiously and dared not look up, they all noticed this uninvited guest.

They are all elites capable of participating in seven-star or even eight-star dungeons; they still have some trump cards up their sleeves.

Some people secretly peeked a small mirror through their fingers, while others saw a phantom vertical eye appear on their foreheads. These people risked being caught. Most others used telepathic gadgets to secretly observe the outside world.

They saw a tall, eerie figure wearing a black trench coat and gold-threaded shackles on his face, patrolling the corridor with his hands behind his back.

His stats reached a terrifying S+ level.

Wherever he went, the invigilators in each examination room fell silent and respectfully lowered their heads.

Invigilator.

In front of some players, the proctor finally stopped in front of the Central Examination Room No. 1.

He pushed open the door, and his arrogant demeanor vanished the moment he saw the figure in the classroom.

He had a "I knew it" look on his face.

The players' hearts skipped a beat. Could it be...?

Mu Zhixi also noticed him. Through the open door, she looked at this strange newcomer and tilted her head slightly, befitting her persona.

This simple action became a signal in the eyes of the proctor.

A smile of near-satisfaction appeared on his face as he bowed slightly.

"If you get tired, you can look around and walk around."

"If all else fails, you can try other exam rooms to rest your eyes."

These words were also caught by all the players without missing a single one. In an instant, nearly a thousand players widened their eyes, and question marks on their foreheads almost overflowed.

no……

So utterly depraved? So blatantly righteous?

That winged human player was shot dead on the spot by chalk just because he raised his neck by half an inch.

People in this central examination hall can not only cheat, but also move around freely and even go to other examination halls to "rest their eyes"?

Who are in the other exam rooms? Aren't they the same people?!

They're being treated like monkeys!

"A trap, this must be a trap!" Inside exam room number three, someone whispered, communicating with teammates via the team channel.

"That's right, the rules say you can report. They're trying to lure us into reporting, then use the 'failed report' penalty to wipe us out!"

"That's so insidious! Such a wicked mind is truly filthy!"

"I get it, that central examination hall. It's very likely empty; the purpose is to filter out players like us with a rebellious spirit!"

For a moment, many players thought they had seen through the truth, and their faces showed expressions of "I knew it".

They said, "How could such a bizarre game have such huge loopholes and injustices?"

It turns out it was a sting operation.

However, there are always stubborn people.

"I don't believe in this nonsense."

In examination room number five, a burly bear-type player suddenly stood up.

His movement immediately attracted the attention of all the invigilators in the examination room.

But he ignored them and pointed towards the ceiling, shouting, "I'm reporting someone! Someone is cheating in exam room number one!"

"Not only did she cheat, but the proctors openly protected her, and the supervising teachers even encouraged her to go out for a stroll!"

"According to the rules, this is a serious violation of examination regulations!"

That shout echoed the sentiments of many players present.

The players were filled with admiration.

Logically, they should have looked at each other with admiration, but due to the crowded environment, they had to suppress the thought to avoid glancing at other people's exam papers.

After the bear-like player finished roaring, he waited for the verdict with a resolute expression.

The two invigilators in his exam room exchanged a glance. One of them slowly floated over to him, picked up a copy of the exam rules, and read it over and over again with an air of importance.

Finally, it chuckled and said, "Rule number four: Players must not show any signs of wanting to cheat, including verbally mentioning cheating, which will be treated as cheating."

"Rule number three states that if a report fails, the person making the report will be subject to the same punishment as the person being reported."

"You have now been found guilty of cheating."

The bear-like player's expression changed. "Where did I cheat? I'm reporting someone!"

"But that person didn't cheat." The proctor shook his head. "Your report failed, so you will naturally have to bear the same punishment."

"How could she not have cheated?!" The bear-like player exclaimed, pointing towards the central examination hall. "She didn't even pretend during the exam; she admitted it herself. We can't see anything else, but you can't fool us with this, can you?"

The proctor looked at him as if he were an idiot.

"First of all, the rules are written for ordinary people. You are not from the same species or class, so these rules naturally have no restrictions on her."

These words, spoken lightly, sent a shiver down the spines of all the players who were eavesdropping.

The bear-like player was completely stunned. He opened his mouth, wanting to argue something.

"What do you mean by 'not in the same species class'? You yourselves said she can cheat! She can move around freely, looking left and right! You can't fool us with those two points, can you?!"

"Even if she's not an ordinary person, she still has to follow the basic rules of the examination hall!"

But then the proctor added slowly and meaningfully, "If you can sit in her seat, you can too."
