"Next, I will announce the specific assessnt process. Each branch director is responsible for informing the Cleaners participating in the assessnt."
As Leon and the red-haired director exchanged glances, the moon-white pearl shell continued the announcent:
"This promotion assessnt, aside from not requiring a physical presence, does not differ significantly from previous assessnts and is still divided into three stages.
The first stage is the basic innate talent test, the second stage is a random combat skills test, and the third stage is a large group mission execution, estimated to last a total of 72-120 hours.
All participating Cleaners must complete their current tasks ahead of ti, prepare to sleep for 3-5 days, and after sunset today, relax their minds, enter the Dream Realm by taking the [Dream-Playing Colorful Fungus]. Soone responsible for guidance will then lead you to the assessnt location, and those who are late will not be accommodated!"
"Click!"
With a light sound of shell closure, the pearl shell, after finishing all notifications, swiftly closed and fell silent.
After tossing the pearl shell back into his drawer, the corners of the red-haired director’s mouth couldn’t help but twitch upwards. He then leaned back in his chair with a face full of pleasure and took a sip of tea from a bottle with a cheerful smile.
"Not bad. This ti the others can only compete for second place."
"..."
Indeed...
Seeing the director in front of him looking completely assured of victory and brimming with confidence, Leon couldn’t help but chuckle as he nodded, then glanced at a badge in his own panel.
[Nightmare of Nightmares: Utterly mad and completely reckless, for a brief mont of thrill, you would even destroy a world. You have beco the most terrifying Nightmare in the mind of the King of Nightmares]
[Equipped Effect: You, who are deeply feared by the Lord of Nightmares, have risen above all nightmares, and no nightmare can affect you]
[Advancent Path: None]
[Hidden Trait (No Need to Equip): As a notorious villain planning to utterly destroy the entire Dream Realm, your infamy will echo throughout the Dream Realm. All Dream Realm Creatures below True God level will experience imnse fear just by sensing your presence]
Although it’s not great to celebrate too early, for soone who can completely immune to nightmares and also force fear onto all Dream Realm Creatures below True God level, it indeed seems impossible to lose this ti.
Even if my innate talent is poor and I fail in combat, scoring the lowest in the first two test phases, when it cos to the third stage’s actual task, the remaining participating Cleaners combined are unlikely to match my efficiency.
What’s more, the absurdity is that on the Dream Realm side, there’s still the snow maiden, my "own nightmare". When the King of Nightmares hasn’t revived yet, the seven Nightmare emissaries are the supre rulers of the Demonic Soul Abyss, possessing the power to command all nightmares within its domain.
Even if I encounter sothing insurmountable, with a single "call", I can summon at least tens of thousands of nightmares to assist, and possibly more than one Nightmare emissary. Even if the task is to hunt down a Dream Realm True God, this lineup could probably give it a try.
"Little Leon~ Apart from seriously taking the exam this ti and taking back the first place that’s already yours, don’t forget to vent so for ~"
After knowing the exam location, the red-haired director, completely relieved, quickly finished the tea in the bottle and with a smiling face reminded:
"Scorpio, Libra, Aries... For every white-eyed wolf from these three branches you handle, I’ll give you a subsidy of 5 Gold Wheels~"
"Got it, I’ve noted them all."
After responding verbally, upholding the principle of overlooking opponents strategically but taking them seriously tactically, Leon recalled the three stages described by the pearl shell, then opened up to ask:
"Director, the third stage assessnt’s practical task is confidential, what about the first two assessnt stages? Is there any information you can share with in advance?"
"Yes~"
Seeing that even with such a great advantage, Leon hadn’t forgotten to gather intelligence, the red-haired director couldn’t help but show a hint of appreciation in his eyes and smilingly said:
"The purpose of the first stage of the assessnt is primarily to test your potential. In other words, it’s about testing the ’speed’ at which you can enhance the Leon Value, and the ’limit’ of how much Leon Value you can accommodate while maintaining relatively stable ntality.
Given our current situation, we might use a mild high-level abnormal object, letting you participating in the assessnt hold it one after another, then check Leon Value fluctuations through soul state changes;
Or directly use a special abnormal object, where those with higher Leon Value or better ntal stability can see more or get closer, climb higher, and so on... While it’s unknown exactly how it will be assessed, it will likely be chosen from these few thods."
So it ans... mainly testing Cleaners’ ability to endure "contamination" from abnormal objects?
Upon hearing this from the red-haired director, Leon thought about his own situation and confidently nodded.
Since joining the Clean-up Bureau, it’s been only three and a half months, but my current Contamination Value is already 17, and my ntal state has been stable... well, basically stable. So in this first assessnt, even if I don’t get first place, the results definitely won’t be bad.
"As for the second stage of the assessnt, that’s purely testing combat skills. Team fights, one-on-one, one against many are all possible, and the field conditions are quite random, mostly decided by drawing lots."
At this point, the red-haired director paused slightly, then said with no small pride:
"When I took the assessnt for level one, I drew one-on-one for several small and dium-sized fields consecutively, and maintained an undefeated record, directly advancing to the finals without a scratch... Little Leon~ You can’t be worse than !"
Advancing to the finals undefeated, without a scratch?
After hearing the red-haired director’s brag, Leon’s eyebrows couldn’t help but slightly raise.
Got it, undefeated till the finals, yet didn’t win in the finals, an eighteen-win total second place, right?
Tsk... Sotis having overly smart subordinates isn’t a good thing either...
Seeing the hint of understanding in Leon’s eyes, the red-haired director’s proud smile slightly tightened, then with so displeasure, he pouted and said:
"In any case, with your current level, in these three stages, you have to at least get two firsts for , miss even one and buy ten bottles of good wine!"
"..."
...
"Abigail."
After subconsciously touching his neck, seeing the stubborn-looking girl in white and the six or seven subordinates with dissatisfied expressions in front of him, the Scorpio director couldn’t help but sigh and with a headache said:
"Although you all might not believe it, waiting for another six months before participating in the assessnt is genuinely for your own good..."
