I Can Cash Up On My Web Novel - Chapter 10
Chapter 10: Test Passed!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The waiting time was a little boring.
There were no techniques or shortcuts in this kind of recruitment test. One could only rely on one’s talent to fight for it.
He believed that with the enhancement of the Heavenly Dao Record and the Body Forging Pills… Especially the Heavenly Dao Record, the settings of this cultivation technique were really too buggy.
No matter what the person who cultivated it was doing, his internal power would naturally increase.
Even when he was sleeping, his strength continued to increase!
Lin Bai had already accumulated internal power for half a day. It was enough to deal with the test. There was no need to make any preparations.
If he still couldn’t pass, it could only mean that Lijoann’s threshold was too high and he wasn’t worthy of joining.
… What a joke. If the Heavenly Dao Record could be sold, it would be worth at least hundreds of thousands.
Which martial arts academy wouldn’t be able to open the door to such a huge investment?
Therefore, he played with his phone in boredom and scrolled through short videos. Only when he saw the big-breasted girl would his indifferent expression change a little and incentivise him to extend his finger to give her a like.
After waiting for a long time, it was finally his turn.
“After the device is turned off, the internal gravity and pressure will gradually increase as time passes. The stronger the Vitality, the longer it can last. You’ll pass if you can last twenty seconds.”
The examiner had been recording on the computer and did not even raise his head. “If you feel unwell, stop immediately. Don’t force yourself. If you’re not careful, the damage to your body will be irreversible.”
Lin Bai nodded and took a deep breath. After registering his name with the counselor beside him, he followed the instructions and walked into the device.
The door closed. The examiner pressed the start button and began to count down to the first countdown.
10 seconds!
That was the result of most of those taking the test.
Looking at the thin and weak figure of the young man just now, he might not even be able to last five seconds, right?
Five seconds had passed in the blink of an eye, but the device did not stop spinning.
The examiner glanced behind him. After confirming that the tester’s vital signs were stable, he continued to count silently.
Hm…
It had been ten seconds. Not bad. It seems that I have underestimated him.
Countdown to the second round.
The examiner’s expression was calm, but a corner of his eyebrows had already been raised, and there was a surprised expression on his face.
“He actually lasted for 20 seconds. Not bad, there’s finally a second student who passed today.”
The third round of countdown ended in the blink of an eye.
The examiner was slightly stunned. Half a minute would already surpass most of the students who had passed the Vitality test this year.
Could it be that… this kid was hiding something?
He finally took it seriously and stared at all the real-time changes on the computer interface.
“There are no calluses on his hands and no muscles on his body. He definitely hasn’t practiced martial arts… He shouldn’t have lasted so long.”
Ten seconds later, in the high-pressure environment inside the device, it was very difficult for ordinary people to even breathe, let alone hold on.
Moreover, the pressure would continue to increase over time.
Even a new Apprentice-level Awakened would not be able to last for 45 seconds!
The examiner looked at the fifty seconds that had passed and then at Lin Bai’s slightly fluctuating life value. His heart surged like a tsunami.
To be able to persevere for so long without cultivating, one either had extraordinary potential or had awakened their abilities during the test. They relied on the power of breaking through realms to persevere for so long.
However, judging from the various statistics on the screen that did not change so much, Lin Bai should belong to the former.
This was incredible.
He could compare to Apprentice-level Awakened just by relying on his potential without cultivation. What would happen if he cultivated in the future?
The examiner found it hard to imagine.
However, regardless of the situation, Lin Bai had the qualifications to join Saint Lijoann. It was meaningful to continue testing.
The examiner interrupted the test in order to avoid injuring the student’s body.
“Open the door.”
The counselor moved quickly.
Light surged in and they saw Lin Bai sitting cross-legged. His head was tilted… He was actually dozing off!
The examiner’s lips twitched. He went forward and patted his shoulder. “Um, Student Lin, Student Lin?”
Lin Bai only reacted after calling out twice.
“Huh?”
Lin Bai came back to his senses and smiled awkwardly. “I’m sorry, Teacher. This apparatus’ massage is comfortable. I accidentally fell asleep.”
“…”
The examiner felt that it was even more ridiculous.
You actually felt like you were having a massage under such a huge pressure?
This machine isn’t broken, right?
There were still many students waiting outside for the test. He did not waste any time and said bluntly, “You’ve passed the test. Saint Lijoann Academy is under closed management. Once you enter the school, you won’t be able to go out for the time being. Sleep on it. If there’s no problem, take this badge and report to the academy the day after tomorrow.”
“Thank you, Teacher.”
Lin Bai took it and kept it close to his body.
This was his future safety barrier. He could not lose it.
The examiner didn’t chat much with him. After walking out of the apparatus, he continued with his work.
Lin Bai looked at the time. It was still early. He could go back and catch up on some sleep. He would take advantage of the two days of free time to write more drafts for his new book and pack his luggage.
After moving to the academy, he would not have to worry about being ambushed by Origin Beasts while sleeping.
As for the problem of not being able to go out…
The interior of the academy was very large and had all kinds of lifestyle infrastructure.
He could just take care of this place. As an otaku author, why would he go out?
…
Two days was not a long time.
However, for Lin Bai, who had seen the dangers of this world, it was a little torturous.
He did not think that he was invincible with the Heavenly Dao Record.
Judging by his realm level, he had not written a book with an E-Tier ability even though he was an E-Tier author.
He definitely could not reach E-Tier in reality.
He could be considered a F-Tier Apprentice Awakened newbie at most!
Such power was far from enough to deal with the Origin Beasts.
Fortunately, the days of fear were finally coming to an end.
He would be able to join the school and become a member of the ivory tower, enjoying the protection of an Awakened big shot soon.
He could relax and be a salted fish. He would eat and live his life everyday. He would write books and flirt with girls. How wonderful was this leisurely life!
Just thinking about it made him look forward to it!
Hence, on the third day of the sunrise, Lin Bai did not sleep in bed. He carried many bags and rented a car with half of his savings. He asked the driver to send him to St. Lijoann Academy.
When they arrived at their destination, the instructor was already waiting at the door.
There were three boys beside him.
One was tall, strong, and honest-looking.
The other two looked similar and seemed to be twins. They smiled at everyone they saw.
They all seemed easy to get along with.
“Alright, the fourth student is here. You’ll be staying in Dorm 3609. Move your luggage over first. Bring your identification documents to the Education Bureau to report before five in the afternoon and receive the military training instructions, is everyone okay?”
The boys nodded one after another. Lin Bai retracted his sizing gaze and nodded in response.
School life was just around the corner. He wondered if he could meet a beautiful, kind, and rich senior by chance and create sparks of love with her.
