Poverty makes me capable of anything.

She walked over safely.

Someone immediately came forward: "Is there anything I can help you with?"

He was a young man with a faint scar on his neck.

He was tall and stood in front of An Ran like an iron tower.

His tone of voice was also somewhat stiff.

“I’m here to take the assessment,” An Ran said.

"You?" the young man said in surprise.

He looked An Ran up and down, his pupils reflecting her figure.

With that movement, An Ran could almost hear him saying, "How dare someone so short come over here?"

An Ran frowned, not wanting to be foolish enough to start a conflict with the young man. She glanced around and suddenly pointed at a player who had just come out of the room.

"If she can do it, why can't I!"

The player's ID is "Monster Mountain Man".

The young man looked in the direction An Ran was pointing.

"Monster Mountain Man" is a female player. She appears to be a little taller than An Ran, but the key issue is that she is wearing shoes with high heels.

An Ran was wearing very ordinary sneakers.

The young man curled his lip: "You guys are different."

"Just because she's a stranger?"

"It seems you have a good sense of self-awareness. Even among strangers, she is one of the most outstanding people," the young man said.

"..."

Although this instance is not restricted to players only, it is not so easy for "natives" to sneak in.

"Alright, if there's nothing else, go ahead. Not just anyone can join Jiuge and the Security Department. People can really die here; it's not a place to play around." The young man waved his hand and then shook his head.

It seems we need to think of other solutions.

An Ran thought to herself.

She was about to leave.

Just then, the door to the assessment room suddenly opened, and she saw two familiar figures walk out.

"This dungeon is a bit difficult," the leader of the charge said.

Zhou Jieyu pouted: "It's clearly because you're too bad, brother. That hunter class is just too terrible."

"Hey, you're already trying to shift the blame? Who threw the bomb at their own feet after being surrounded?" the leader of the charge complained.

"You must be mistaken, that bomb was dropped by Morning Star!" Zhou Jieyu shifted her feet.

this……

Is it any wonder he led the escape?

An Ran was stunned.

But suddenly a thought flashed through her mind!

By the way, if she were to team up with other players to enter the dungeon, this young man blocking her way wouldn't have any reason to refuse her, right?

"If I participate in the assessment with the stranger, then there won't be any problems, right?" Anran asked.

"This..." The young man hesitated. The requirement from above was that as long as outsiders wanted to participate in the assessment, they should be allowed in.

An Ran immediately knew the result, and she quickly waved to Zhou Jieyu.

"what!"

Zhou Jieyu's eyes lit up immediately. She saw An Ran and the mission hat on An Ran's head.

"What a coincidence!" Zhou Jieyu said with a grin.

The one who led the charge followed.

"Can you do me a favor? I want to participate in this assessment, but this person is stopping me. Can you team up with me to participate in the assessment?"

E-level mission, take Anran to participate in the assessment, experience reward 300.

Zhou Jieyu's eyes lit up immediately.

"Great! Great!" Zhou Jieyu quickly called out and led the charge.

"We're out of energy," the leader of the charge said, sounding somewhat distressed.

This……

An Ran's eyes widened.

But Zhou Jieyu said nonchalantly, "No problem, no problem, I brought something with me."

As she spoke, she pulled out several osmanthus cakes from her pocket: "To prevent situations where you almost clear the game but don't have enough stamina to continue farming the dungeon, I specially made several extra osmanthus cakes. After eating them, there will be just enough for one more run."

"..." Leading the charge, An Ran and the others opened their mouths together.

This……

Chew, chew.

In short, this is a good thing.

"You've worked hard!"

As she passed by the young man, An Ran smiled brightly, thinking, "Little brat, I'll summon players!"

"..."

The young man could only watch An Ran walk into the room, shaking his head helplessly.

Chapter 24 Listening to the Chorus of Frogs

Why are you here again?

As soon as the door was opened, a woman standing inside exclaimed in surprise.

She is the NPC responsible for guiding players through the assessment.

Zhou Jieyu was the first to walk in, followed by An Ran who led the charge and brought up the rear.

She had never seen a stranger participate in the assessment twice in 10 minutes, especially since these two strangers had lost so quickly.

The guiding NPC was even more surprised when he saw Anran at the very back of the group.

Two very weak strangers, plus a girl who looks even weaker.

Surely they're not here to participate in an assessment?

“We’re here to participate in the assessment.” Zhou Jieyu immediately shattered the illusion of guiding the NPCs.

"you sure?"

The NPC guide widened her eyes and said, "Participating in the assessment isn't free; each person has to pay 50 pluto each time."

Subconsciously, it's like asking if you don't care about the cost of your own money.

With experience, why would you feel bad about taking it?

"It's okay, it's okay, we'll definitely pass the test this time," Zhou Jieyu said.

With Anran by her side, she was full of confidence.

"..."

The NPC lady looked at Zhou Jieyu with a strange expression.

Are you sure you'll pass the assessment?

Didn't you guys only last 20 minutes last time before it was over?

"Pay first."

"That's what the NPC is saying."

You can't just turn someone away when they come to give you money.

Zhou Jieyu happily paid her money, while the leader paid his money expressionlessly, and An Ran paid her money with a hint of heartache.

After paying the money, the guiding NPC led them to another small room.

There are several other small rooms like this.

An ordinary meeting room was transformed into a room for participants to take the assessment.

There were dense wires in the corner, and several uniquely designed headbands were placed on the table below.

"Put on this headband and you can start the assessment," the guiding NPC specifically instructed An Ran.

After giving her instructions, she closed the door behind her and left.

"I have a lot of experience, feel free to ask me anything you don't understand!"

Before putting on the headband, Zhou Jieyu said with a smile.

An Ran smiled and nodded "kindly": "I'll be 'troubling' you then!"

Sitting in the chair, she fastened her headband, closed her eyes peacefully, and after a moment, she found that her consciousness had been pulled to a strange place.

When she opened her eyes again, she found herself in a room with dim lighting overhead.

She sat on a metal bed, her clothes now changed to dark colors.

An Ran stood up and walked out of the small room, which led to a larger room with a high platform in the middle and stairs leading to the second floor on all sides.

There is a counter for choosing weapons on the high platform in the middle.

This scene feels a bit like Call of Duty.

Just as An Ran stepped onto the platform, Zhou Jieyu and the leader of the charge also emerged from another room.

"We only have 5 minutes to prepare, so we need to make the most of the time and be fully prepared," Zhou Jieyu said with a serious expression.
