Chapter 351 Assessment Task 1
After Yu Muhuai closed the task panel, Da Bai spoke up.

"Xiao Yu, although you are only level 2 now, based on your Soul Star and other strengths, the agency has determined that you are eligible for the E-level upgrade assessment."

Rank E is generally reserved for agency members who are advancing from Rank 4 to Rank 5.

But you can participate now! Isn't that amazing? Unexpected?

Looking at the other person's eyes, which were narrowed into a straight line with a smile, Yu Muhuai remained expressionless.

"Get to the point, what are the benefits of upgrading?"

Big White's happy expression froze on his face, seemingly not seeing the other person's joyful expression, and he felt a little annoyed.

Then it snorted and said, "After the upgrade, you will gain a new ability to use the power of time—[Cut]."

After using this ability, you can cut a period of time that is about to take place for yourself or a designated person, and seamlessly stitch the previous and subsequent periods together.

For example, if you want to cut off a second of your own time, and you are currently walking, then after the "cut," you will directly appear in the place where you would appear one second later.

Yu Muhuai's eyes darted around as he asked, "So that's kind of like teleportation?"

Big White tilted his head. "There are still some differences. Teleportation changes spatial orientation, while [Slice] reduces the time required for the user to use it compared to others."

Yu Muhuai suddenly realized, "If we use it during the exam and take less time than others, wouldn't that be a huge loss?"

"Because [Cut] can manipulate time that is in progress or about to occur, it consumes a lot of temporal power."

Generally, it only takes a few seconds to cut. Cutting for several hours wouldn't be worthwhile for you, as your time power is being consumed very quickly these days.

"If it's an English exam, I can make sure others can't hear a certain key part of the listening comprehension."

Why do you always think of these strange and unusual things?

"Because I am a sophist, I need to have the ability to apply what I've learned to other situations!"

"Then you win."

"Ask, accept, accept."

Big White slumped to the ground, completely exasperated.

With its sunken cheeks and weary expression, it asked, "Do you want to participate in the assessment?"

Let me warn you first, if you fail a normal mission, you'll only lose a maximum of Time Power.

If they lose everything, the worst that can happen is that they leave the agency, have their memories erased, and become an ordinary person in the world again.

However, the assessment task is risky; if you fail, you might not be able to come back.” Yu Muhuai paused, then asked, “What do you mean by ‘not being able to come back’?”

"It means you might be trapped in the mission world until the power of time is exhausted."

"We'll still be trapped! What will happen if we run out of time power?"

"When one exhausts their energy in the assessment task, they perish forever. This is the dissipation of the soul, not ordinary physical death."

Once the soul perishes, there is no longer any chance of reincarnation, and from then on, that person's will ceases to exist.

Aside from some scattered fragments of the soul that might coalesce into a soul star, there is absolutely no possibility of this person being resurrected.

"No way, is it that serious?"

"Yes, this is the most serious consequence. I'm just telling you in advance. Some people only lose time-based power or suffer damage to their soul when they fail, but they don't suffer such serious consequences."

However, precisely because of the potential consequences, some people would rather remain stuck at Level 4 forever than participate in assessment tasks.

"If we don't upgrade, will the power of time make a difference?"

"Of course there is a difference. If you keep your level unchanged, the increase in the power of time will become less and less in later missions."

Because the strength and level are mismatched, it's impossible to expect the original owner of a level 1 world to provide as much time power as a level 6 member.

Yu Muhuai nodded. "I understand, but some people will still choose comfort. Even if the reward is less, the risk will be much lower, just like investing."

"Xiao Yu is so clever; she can find examples to compare everything. But the important thing is, do you want to participate in the assessment?"

"Yes, of course I want to. My confidence and skills tell me I can definitely pass!"
"And the [Cutting] skill sounds quite interesting, but if I succeed, will I immediately level up to level 5?"

"No, your situation is special. It's very difficult for ordinary members to comprehend the Soul Star."

After you pass the assessment, you will be promoted to level 3. However, in terms of strength, it will be about the same as level 5.

"So it's similar to Ji Quan before?"

Da Bai nodded. "It's similar to Ji Quan at his peak. The Ji Quan in that world is much worse than he used to be because he consumed too much time power."

Also, in the previous agency, senior members could directly see the ranks of junior members.

However, if you pass the assessment, the system will automatically hide your level, preventing others from seeing your status.

That's all for today!
The assessment world officially opens tomorrow; it is a world completely different from any other world before it.

I won't spoil it here; find out tomorrow!
