I have an Apocalypse City
Chapter 1376 - Chapter 1376 Chapter 1378 Withdrawal

Chapter 1376: Chapter 1378: Withdrawal Chapter 1376: Chapter 1378: Withdrawal Just as Kamata swallowed the meteorite shard, all the examinees in the Assessment World received a system message.

System: The main quest item, meteorite shard, has been destroyed; subsequent main quests have been forcibly aborted, all examinees have failed the main quest! The evaluation of passing the assessment has been downgraded by three levels! The stay of all examinees in the Assessment World has been extended by three days, and the assessment will conclude after three days!

At the moment they received the system message, nearly twenty members of the Alien Clan, who were constantly battling in the recently discovered ruins, discovered that a vast community of creatures were thriving there. With each advancement, they had to kill a large number of monsters, and it was only those monsters at the Elite Level or above that could slightly improve the passing evaluation; ordinary monsters could not enhance the passing evaluation at all!

However, due to the presence of a golden side quest, the Alien Clan examiners had few complaints and were fighting vigorously.

“What, the main quest item has been destroyed?” One of the Alien Clan examiners exclaimed in surprise.

“Even quest items can be destroyed? Those human faction examiners are utterly useless, I thought they would pick up an easy advantage this time. But even when it’s handed to them, they can’t pass the assessment, hahaha!”

“To fail the main quest and not be immediately ejected, this is the first time I’ve encountered such luck!”

“I guess it’s because we accepted the golden side quest. They’ve given us three days, probably for us to complete the quest…”

“Haha, in the end, the human faction examiners are still benefiting from our luck, otherwise they would have been kicked out immediately. With three levels downgraded, they definitely can’t pass the assessment if they can’t even complete the main quest. They might as well just fail and leave now!”

“Stop making fun of them. If we can’t complete this golden side quest and get downgraded by three levels, we can’t handle it either…”

“What’s there to fear? We had already planned to give up on the main quest and were prepared for assessment failure. But now we’ve been given a chance to pass; this is a windfall…”

“Right, if we complete this golden side quest, our passing evaluation will definitely be high. Then killing a few exotic beasts will be enough for us to get through the assessment!”

“Haha, well said. But there are too many from the Ghost Clan here. What kind of treasure is hidden here? The task description isn’t clear!”

“Who cares, let’s just kill them all. The target of the golden side quest will naturally appear once we annihilate this bunch of Ghost Clan members. Aside from their numbers, their strength is only average. We can totally exterminate them all!”

…

While the Alien Clan’s examiners were in high spirits, the five examiners of the Human Race sat stunned and collapsed on the periphery of their base.

“How could it be destroyed? What the hell is Song Jian doing? He can’t even protect a quest item!” one of the examiners from the Human Race screamed desperately.

They had pinned all their hopes on Song Jian, but in the end, the quest item was destroyed, and a three-level downgrade was not just a three-level drop; it was a punishment that lowered the ranking from B all the way down to E, which was more than they could bear.

Although they had obtained a large amount of materials, at best these materials would only increase their evaluation by one or two levels, not even reaching a full grade. Plus, with the main mission failed, it was simply impossible for them to pass the Combat Power assessment within the short span of three days.

“Even if we had completed the main mission, the best evaluation we could achieve would be grade C. With these materials and the alien beasts we’ve slain before, we could barely reach grade B. Now that the main mission has failed and we’ve been demoted by three grades, we can’t even reach the minimum grade C evaluation. There’s no point in continuing with this assessment!” a recently healed member of the Human Race Examinees analyzed calmly, “Even if we use these three days to try and kill those alien beasts to elevate the passing evaluation, we would, at best, barely make it to a C- grade. Such an evaluation is meaningless!”

Having said that, he looked at the other four companions, returned the materials he had just obtained to the ground piece by piece, and then said with a calm face, “I withdraw from this assessment and will reapply after three months. Farewell, everyone!”

After he finished speaking, his figure slowly vanished, clearly having automatically given up on this assessment and left the Assessment World.

The other four became silent, the excitement from finding the massive haul of materials completely dissipated. Being demoted three grades was a situation they had never encountered before; it was like a heavy hammer had just shattered the little confidence they had managed to regain.

“Doya, let’s come back after three months. This time… there’s no chance!” Another Examinee sighed, shook his head, put down the materials he had gathered onto the ground, waved goodbye to the remaining few, and left the Assessment World as well.

Soon after, another person withdrew from the Assessment World. Looking at the materials scattered on the ground, Doya turned to the other, who had yet to withdraw, and said indifferently, “Noya, everyone has surrendered, everyone has left, why don’t you withdraw?”

“What’s the hurry anyway? There are still three days left,” Noya shrugged, beginning to pick up the materials the other three had discarded, gathering them back into his inventory.

“Although these materials are numerous, their quality is mediocre. Even if they could enhance the passing evaluation, it would only raise us by one or two levels, nowhere near enough to compensate for the three-grade penalty!” Noya glanced at Doya and nodded towards her, saying, “The rest is yours if you don’t withdraw as well!”

“Hmph, even if all of you withdraw, I will not!” Doya retorted with a cold snort.

“What, do you really have that much faith in that ‘Chosen One,’ thinking he can turn the tide?” Noya burst into laughter and continued, “Teer had the same thoughts as you before, but what was the outcome? Teer was the first to be kicked out of the assessment. You still dare to believe in that ‘Chosen One’?”

Doya suddenly fell silent, sighed and said, “If we hadn’t been so selfish, we might have already completed the main mission by now. With these materials, we could have received at least a grade A or even an A+ evaluation in the assessment…”

Speaking thus, Doya silently picked up the remaining materials and continued walking towards the empty base.

Noya too became silent, his face turning ashen. After a while, he snorted coldly, clenched the weapon in his hand, and followed behind Doya.

Soon, their figures were engulfed by the vast shadow of the base and disappeared. And all this, through the eyes of the Thunder Eagle Beast Patsha, was relayed to Song Jian.

At that moment, Song Jian could not afford to look at the images sent by Patsha. Instead, with a face filled with shock, he looked towards the distant Black Dragon. Black Dragon Kamata, having ingested fragments of the meteor, seemed to have gone mad. It was rolling incessantly in the lake, repeatedly slamming its body onto the huge rock in the center of the lake. In no time, the rock was shattered, and Kamata’s body was covered with wounds.

At that moment, the two Legendary Realm alien beasts that had been locked in battle relaxed at once after Kamata had swallowed the meteor fragments. They even ignored the golden core on the ground and turned their gazes towards the lake, watching Black Dragon Kamata roll in agony. Flames of rage flickered in their eyes as they lunged towards Black Dragon Kamata together.
