Pretending To Be A Boss

Chapter 2: Chapter 1: Temporary worker turns regular (new book seeking collection and recommendation)_2

And the educational institutions were on the third level. For many people from the lower class, the most glorious time of their lives was between the ages of twelve and eighteen.At the age of eighteen, the D-class regular army would take them to the mining area for an examination.

The name of the exam was somewhat cheesy, known as "Heaven's Chosen Trial."

Regardless of status or wealth, it was an opportunity for all the bottom-class personnel to change their fate.

In a sense, Tang Xian's destiny indeed underwent a significant transformation.

…

…

The passageway to the second level was like a tall tower, three hundred meters from the ground of the first level.

At the entrance, there were a series of scanning devices and two squads of elite D-class soldiers.

After completing the scan, Tang Xian, accompanied by the guiding soldiers, entered the passage.

Gazing at the scenery outside the reinforced glass, his eyes were deep, his thoughts drifting back to "Heaven's Chosen Trial" six years ago.

The transformation from a top student with perfect scores to a temporary worker at the bottom, such a thing was naturally hard to forget.

…

…

The mining area was the redemption of this world.

Here, one could see sights that humanity could only witness before depleting this planet. The resources were rich, and forests were plentiful.

There were also creatures of terror never before seen by humans, even those that existed only in myths. They harbored great hostility towards humans.

This also shattered humans' dreams of migrating to the mining area through the transport rifts.

Later, people discovered that they could not stay in the mining area for more than seven days; exceeding this time limit would rapidly deplete their life force.

It was like a forced logout mechanism in a game.

However, people did indeed find new energy sources in the mining area that could sustain the real world.

Everyone could bring their gains from the mining area into the real world.

It was as if the creator had made an unprecedented game, or rather, a version full of rich resources.

Who could kill stronger monsters in the mining area, who could extract more precise ores, who could acquire more strategies and resources from this game, became the sole standard for judging whether a person was excellent.

Developing and exploring the mining area as much as possible was the only subject for all of humanity.

"Heaven's Chosen Trial" was a test that stemmed from this system.

Tang Xian had always been regarded with high expectations.

He scored full marks on every cultural test, and was particularly proficient in the languages of various countries. Many geniuses were in his cohort, but they all paled in comparison to Tang Xian.

He was also very familiar with various known re

He was quickly labeled a "cheater."

How could someone who couldn't even see a fundamental attribute like health obtain a perfect score?

Did he deserve it?

This was the opinion distorted by jealousy. Yet it spread quickly as if it were the truth.

Nevertheless, there was no evidence, and the school district had not taken any action.

What truly convicted Tang Xian was the emergence of "evidence" shortly afterwards.

About a dozen teachers had their licenses revoked for "assisting students in cheating," and these teachers admitted to it as well.

Naturally, some big shot had bribed these teachers, but even Tang Xian himself was unaware of this; the so-called evidence was known only to the upper echelons of the school district.

And with evidence—

Cheating was as good as confirmed, and Tang Xian was quickly demoted to the lower levels.

…

…

"We've arrived."

The soldier's words snapped Tang Xian out of his reverie. Before Tang Xian's eyes stood a massive alloy door.

The door was five meters tall, and at its top, the words level 2 shone in fluorescent letters.

"Make the most of the opportunity, kid," said the soldier, who had been somewhat indifferent from beginning to end.

Tang Xian nodded and walked into the second level.
