Time passed quickly, and just as Lin Yuan was engrossed in what he was watching, a massive figure appeared before him. It was another E1 level Elite Mechanical Warrior. However, from the floating emblem on his chest, it was clear that he belonged to the Nineteenth Brigade. But that wasn't important; what mattered was that this guy was incredibly strong. Just from the overall layout of his Mechanical Body, it was evident that he excelled in frontal charges and blocks, and he possessed exceptional sniping skills.
Such a powerful presence made Lin Yuan think that even if he were fully armed outside, encountering this individual would likely send him fleeing in panic. Yet, he couldn't help but wonder why such a formidable Mechanical Warrior would take an interest in him.
"I've been watching you for a while now. New here? Thirteenth Brigade? Heh, hiding out here—are you timid or do you have other motives? But you don't need to answer; I'm not interested in knowing. Could you pass a message for me? Tell King Luo he's bound to lose. By the way, my name is Titan 1109; nice to meet you."
The tone was somewhat teasing but relaxed, and without waiting for Lin Yuan's response, the one called Titan 1109 turned and walked away as if he were merely passing by.
Just when Lin Yuan was feeling somewhat bewildered, a sudden movement occurred within his Intellect, and the shadowy figure of the rather useless Smart Butler materialized.
"Hello, this is the latest Monthly Assessment notification. In ten hours, all E1 level Target Students will undergo this year's sixth Monthly Assessment. The rules for the Monthly Assessment are as follows: every Ten Subjects will form a group and enter the same examination hall simultaneously. The instructors assigned to you will personally determine the rules and content of the Monthly Assessment. The duration of the Monthly Assessment will be Thirty-Six Hours. The assessment results will be divided into three categories, with each Squad's comprehensive performance ranked based on tasks completed and various other factors. The top-ranking Squad will have all its members receive 10 Advanced Points and an additional 00 Mission Points. Conversely, the last-ranking Squad will have all its members lose one Advanced Point and 0 Mission Points. Note that Advanced Points can be exchanged for Mechanical Modification Points and other precious materials."
"The second ranking is based on individual comprehensive performance. Those who perfectly complete their tasks while also achieving outstanding performance will be ranked accordingly. The top performer will receive 0 Advanced Points and 00 Mission Points, while the last place will lose 1 Advanced Point and 0 Mission Points."
"The third ranking is for Special Performance Rewards, nominated by the instructor personally. This will grant 5 Advanced Points and 1000 Mission Points. Similarly, instructors can nominate those with the worst performance to lose 1 Advanced Point and 100 Mission Points."
...
"Seriously? Is this meant to ensure I end up at the bottom?"
Listening to this barrage of information, Lin Yuan felt helpless because he had wasted a full five Mechanical Years. Thus, he was already far behind other Target Students in terms of coursework. This upcoming Monthly Assessment would undoubtedly focus on the most challenging aspects for evaluation. Unless they tested Mechanical Assembly or Melee Combat this time around, he was certain to come in last! There was simply no way around it.
As Lin Yuan sighed deeply in frustration, another message came through his Intellect—not from the Training Base's System but from the Thirteenth Brigade.
After opening it, the phantom of King Luo shot out and quickly said, "Papaya, gather at Mechanical House B10109845 in the living area immediately. We need to discuss the Monthly Assessment."
Without hesitation, Lin Yuan teleported back, as the recent announcement indicated that during each Monthly Assessment, most of the time it relied on teamwork and some individual outstanding performances. Therefore, even if he wanted to go solo, it would be impossible. Of course, in this situation, it was equally unrealistic for King Luo and the others to abandon Lin Yuan; having one more person always meant more strength.
When Lin Yuan reappeared in the living area, he found that what had previously been a quiet environment was now bustling with activity. Everywhere he looked, Mechanical Warriors were busy preparing for various tasks, which included both encouragement and mockery. It was only at this moment that Lin Yuan deeply felt the intense competitive atmosphere among them. This competition was not malicious but rather a pursuit of strength. From this point alone, it was not an exaggeration to refer to these Mechanical Warriors as Elites.
King Luo's Mechanical House was extravagant and clearly belonged to a higher class of Mechanical Houses. As Lin Yuan walked through, he noticed that in the entire E1-level living area, there were no more than a handful of people who could afford such a Mechanical House. The overall strength of these fifty or so individuals was undoubtedly the strongest because even if they had wealth before entering this Training Base, they had to start from scratch here. Thus, they were not simple individuals.
Upon entering King Luo's Mechanical House, he was greeted by a massive hall where King Luo and nine other Mechanical Warriors had already gathered.
Lin Yuan remained silent and consciously stood at the back. He didn’t relay the challenge message from Titan 1109 to King Luo because it seemed pointless. Undoubtedly, Titan 1109's Nineteenth Brigade and their Thirteenth Brigade were in direct competition as they entered the Monthly Assessment venue together.
From this perspective, Lin Yuan also had to consider his team.
King Luo and the others ignored Lin Yuan as King Luo slowly introduced, "This time for the Monthly Assessment, our situation is not optimistic. If it's a combat-type Monthly Assessment, Papaya will drag us all down. In such a case, we can only ensure that we don't end up last in our Squad. If it's a written exam, we might barely pass; however, if it's a Dark Moon Exam, then we're doomed—let fate decide!"
"Captain, don't scare us! In the past five Mechanical Years, we've only encountered a Dark Moon Exam once; there's no reason we should face it again so soon. Damn it! I'd rather take the annual exam than participate in a Dark Moon Exam," shouted a Mechanical Warrior named D- in panic; he was clearly a sniper.
"Regardless, the situation is very grim. I have a bad feeling about this; yesterday's astrology told me that this Monthly Assessment is an omen of great misfortune!" Another Mechanical Warrior named Flying Fish added seriously, though it sounded rather awkward.
"To hell with your astrology! Instead of wasting time on that nonsense, you should study the chaotic relationship between space and time so that when we face the Dark Moon Exam, it won't be too terrible. As the only one in our Thirteenth Squad who studies Dark Subjects, can't you show some responsibility instead of always using that damn astrology to fool us?" 190 chimed in angrily before suddenly looking at Lin Yuan. "Captain, should we give this guy a rundown on the rules and key points? I'm worried he might faint from fear during his first Monthly Assessment."
"Enough with the chatter! We are Elites, not whiny fools. No matter what difficulties lie ahead or how daunting they may be, we have only one goal: to crush through! What others can achieve, we can achieve; what others cannot do, we can also do. As for you, Papaya, I won't say much more—special circumstances lead to special results. We won't wait for you or help you; if you consider yourself an Elite, then do your best to catch up! Now let's start preparing!"
King Luo let out a final roar. (To be continued...)
