On the other end.
Shan Yue sat on a chair and came to a small room through the landing platform. The light in the room was dim, and the green fluorescent marks on the wall pointed at a small door in front of Shan Yue. It looked deep and strange.
Did the professors want to test their mental fort.i.tude? Shan Yue raised her eyebrows and stood up. The chair and platform quickly retracted.
Other than the camera above her head, there was nothing else in the small room. Without hesitation, Shan Yue reached out and grabbed the door handle.
“Creak—” The door’s joints emitted an obscure friction sound, which was especially ear-piercing and loud in the silent environment.
Looking at the pitch-black cave outside the door, Shan Yue was at a loss.
Were all these professors so strange? Why were each level more strange than the last? She even wondered if she was competing for a spot in the compet.i.tion or partic.i.p.ating in a variety show.
Just as she was in a daze, a strange deformed figure quickly flew past the cave and let out a monkey-like chuckle.
At the same time, the professors in the surveillance room who had been paying attention to Shan Yue’s movements became lively.
“They said it was a talent selection, but they added a scary checkpoint to the compet.i.tion. Isn’t that bad?” a female professor said with a frown.
“What’s not good about it? This horror segment was added this year. It’s specially used to test the contestants’ coping ability and psychological endurance when they have fear. It’s to prevent them from peeing their pants in fear when they go to the global compet.i.tion,” another professor replied proudly.
The man sitting in the middle of the professors looked like he was watching a good show. He touched his chin and said, “This contestant called Shan Yue is quite smart. She should have the ability to compete with Jia Yi. I hope she won’t be frightened by these small tricks and want to quit the compet.i.tion.”
“Hehehe…” The deformed figure disappeared, but its terrifying laughter still echoed in the cave.
Shan Yue’s vision was very good. The moment the deformed figure appeared, she saw and recognized it. It was just a staff member wearing a special prop suit and hanging a wire. So, this segment was specially used to scare the contestants and test their mental endurance?
After figuring out the professors’ intentions, Shan Yue felt a little helpless. She raised her feet and walked forward, looking for the exit of the cave.
The cave was dark and damp, and the ground was very slippery. When she entered this level, she did not even obtain a single illumination tool. She could only rely on her own ability to break through the level.
Fortunately, Shan Yue’s vision was excellent, and the darkness could not affect her speed of clearing the level. Occasionally, staff disguised as monsters would appear, but Shan Yue turned a deaf ear to them and ignored their existence.
After turning a corner, two forks appeared in front of the cave.
Shan Yue stopped in her tracks. After identifying the difference between the two holes, she chose the right path without hesitation.
“As long as the contestants observe carefully, they will discover that the moss near the two holes is different. The moss on the right requires oxygen to grow. It can only survive in a ventilated environment. Therefore, they can determine that the right is the way out.” A professor explained the meaning of this test point.
Only students with a lively mind and the ability to apply textbook knowledge to reality and meticulous knowledge can answer correctly.
“Wait, why did Shan Yue make a choice so quickly?”
“A lucky guess, right?”
“It seems that she trusts her intuition very much. Although her luck is good, this mentality is not advisable!”
“Shan Yue is an outstanding student of the Capital University. She shouldn’t have relied on luck to clear the level! She should have made a very fast judgment.”
“Does she really notice the difference in moss in this dark? I don’t believe it.”
Just as the professors were discussing Shan Yue’s method, in the surveillance cameras, when Shan Yue encountered three forks in the road, she still made the right choice in a few seconds.
Then, the professors watched as Shan Yue quickly solved the problem as if she had an accurate navigation system in her head.
As for the various plants that the professors had placed at the entrance of the cave, Shan Yue seemed to know them all and was very familiar with them. She could tell at a glance which plants represented the exit.
“This Shan Yue… actually knows so much about plants? She’s clearly only a freshman!” The biology professor’s eyes lit up..
