Chapter 674 Special Freshman Assessment
Whirlpool Town - Fourth Middle School

Despite his white hair, Mr. Guo still works here. With authority granted in the corner, he needs to focus on the school's expansion of enrollment.

Moreover, the Scream Hotel has decided to stay here and not return to its former location, and some lifetime residents will need to undergo a newcomer assessment.

In addition, we need to launch an inoculation plan for the entire town of Whirlpool.

Considering that not everyone can pass the extremely difficult and demanding freshman assessment, some monsters with potential but who do not yet meet the requirements can take a step back and try for "temporary residency in the town".

This program combines the recruitment methods of Scream Hotel, offering not only free temporary accommodation in Whirlpool Town but also multiple opportunities to experience the school.

If you can meet the corresponding conditions during your temporary stay, you can stay and try for a second entrance examination.

At the same time, Whirlpool Town will also be open to the Human Exploration Bureau, which will become the first special organization where humans and monsters coexist.

This expansion will inevitably lead to various contradictions. There are many things to consider. After Mr. Question Mark finishes his work, he will come over to help complete the relevant rules and plans.

While Teacher Guo was busy.

A sensation of contact came from the edge of the town.

hum!
Vortex teleportation.

Jock, wearing a baseball cap and a full-body hoodie, arrived at the office.

However, Teacher Guo did not turn her head immediately. Instead, she waited until she had completely finished what she was doing before slowly beginning to speak:
"I thought you wouldn't accept the invitation, it seems the loss of your arm has had a big impact on you."

Without a doubt, the invitation from the question mark is personally authorized by me. You can join Whirlpool Town now and become one of us.

As for the return of the arm, it will be given to you once you fulfill one condition.

Jock maintained a smile throughout.

The moment his arm was severed and the Outer God was completely killed, he realized that he had made a mistake in positioning.

To salvage the situation, he had to accept the invitation and come here to take a desperate gamble.

Simply seeking survival is no longer effective; it will only lead to a slow death.

Her smile remained unchanged, and her voice seeped through the mist: "Ah~ tell me, I'll agree to whatever the conditions are."

However, I imagine that an organization with such a strict hierarchy and adherence to rules would offer relatively fair terms.

Teacher Guo reached out and stirred the document, which appeared directly in Qiao Ke's hand.

Special Admission Assessment for New Students (Personalized)

Given that the prospective freshman, [Jock], once made the decision to betray the corner and devote himself to the outer realms, this freshman assessment will adopt a specially customized mode.

Your admission examiner is: Roddy

Using the privileges of Whirlpool Town, you will travel to the human world as a [monster]. The specific location of the assessment will be sent to you in the form of a question mark letter after you arrive.

You will be assessed one-on-one by an examiner, and there will be no direct external interference during the assessment.

*It should be noted that due to the rules and instability of the human world, please strictly abide by the relevant rules and scenario restrictions during the assessment period.

……

Teacher Guo continued to explain:

"This is a very fair assessment for new students, with no bias or disadvantages against you."

If you meet the assessment requirements and successfully enroll, Roddy, as your examiner, will not only return your arm, but you will also enjoy various privileges of Whirlpool Town.

I will no longer concern myself with the two students you killed.

Of course, if you feel that such an assessment is inappropriate, you can refuse and leave; you will not be harmed in any way throughout the entire process.

Jock wasn't stupid, and he bluntly stated: "Hiss~ This must be Roddy's suggestion, right? Indeed, based on the content above, it is very much in line with the school's style, and it is indeed very fair."

I never expected to have such an opportunity. I am so grateful. Roddy is such a good boy.

How do I need to sign the confirmation, and when do I need to depart?

"Sign your name directly in blood on the documents, and you will be considered a member of Vortex Town."

Afterwards, you will need to go to the school cafeteria to enjoy a delicious and plentiful customized meal to help you recover to your best physical condition and meet the standards before the assessment.

The next step is to reach the shallower corner via the vortex, and from there go directly to the human world.

It is important to note that once you reach the other side, you must not engage in any actions that interfere with the world, including killing, influencing minds, or indirectly inducing social unrest.

If you violate the rules, you will be forcibly deported, at which point the teaching team will completely remove you from their records.

Jock immediately perked up. "Wow! There's even delicious food! If I'm not mistaken, Hunter must be in charge of the cafeteria! Let me see if his cooking skills have improved."

As for safety and stability, Professor Guo need not worry.

I'm very honest and would never cause trouble! Thank you, Teacher Guo, and thank you, Luo Di, for giving me this opportunity. I will strive to do my best. If I can successfully join you, I will definitely turn over a new leaf, adopt the most upright attitude, and contribute my share to resisting foreign aggression.

Jock put on a well-behaved and honest look, forced a stiff smile, and rhythmically moved his fingers to say goodbye.

Teacher Guo acted as if she had finished explaining something, and continued to bury herself in her work without any change in mood.

……

Joker walked on the grassy playground, smelling the fragrance of grass and soil, and feeling the fresh atmosphere of the whole campus.

He suddenly made a pinching motion with his nose.

It seems that this smell is foul.

"What a disgusting place, it stinks to high heaven, this kind of place is not fit for a corner at all... It would be worse than killing me to live here."

One wrong step leads to another; taking the wrong position leads to this consequence.

Fortunately, my dear Roddy will give me such an opportunity, a chance to turn things around and start over.

My initial approach was absolutely correct. If I hadn't left him with such a profound impression of his entire family's death, he wouldn't have become so obsessive.

I wish I could do it all over again and see his expression again. Desperately delicious food is just too good.

I will live. I will cut off the heads of everyone here. Then, this school will smell wonderful again…

As Jock was lost in his own fantasies, he unknowingly walked off the playground and was eventually stopped in front of the cafeteria.

A sign indicating that the cafeteria is temporarily closed is posted at the entrance.

Just as he was wondering, a series of footsteps suddenly came from behind him, as if a huge mouth was about to swallow him whole.

Snapped!
A hand gently rested on Jock's shoulder.

"Due to my injury, the cafeteria will be closed for a week. However, Teacher Guo has arranged to cook you a meal today."

"Oh~ Hunter! You've changed so much~ You've actually reached this level. You helped me back then, from an outsider's perspective, to launch a sneak attack on Roddy, and they actually wanted you, even giving you such an important position."

It seems like I actually have a chance!

Don't worry, I will change my ways and be a better person!

Hunter didn't respond. With one hand draped in a special bandage, he pushed open the cafeteria door with the other and gestured for Jock to come in.

Private rooms,
Jock sat there quietly waiting.

Soon after, Hunter brought over the prepared food.

A whole roast goose, a whole roast chicken, a whole piece of char siu, a cup of aged wine, and a bowl of freshly cooked rice, except the chopsticks are stuck upright in the rice.

"It smells so good~ but this shape doesn't seem very auspicious."

"Eat up, Jock."

"Delicious! Your cooking skills have really improved. I'll have to work hard to become your colleague and eat here every day."

I feel like if I stay here for a month, I'm afraid I'll gain another 20 pounds.

"By the way, it's been so long since I've seen my dear nephew. I wonder where he's gone? I even prepared a gift for him."

Jock kept babbling on and on.

Hunter simply looked at the other person silently, offering no response; his mind was already on other matters. He still needed to prepare a nutritious meal to deliver to Mr. Jiawen later.

After Jock had eaten and drunk his fill, his belly had swelled up considerably. Moreover, the primal fear that had lingered in the food had restored him to his best condition.

"It was so delicious, and it really helped me recover from all the fatigue I've had these past few days! Thank you, Hunter, see you next time!"

"Go well."

Hunter did not wave goodbye; he simply cleared away all the plates by himself.

……

[Human World, United Nations, Jupiter City]

The clown, wearing a baseball cap and carrying a large bag, took a bus to a certain place according to the instructions in the letter.

The old buildings here have been demolished, and the land bidding process is currently underway, with no new buildings being constructed yet.

The weird thing is,
It was clearly covered with police tape.
But there was a dark and strange-looking photography studio set up inside.

Someone was standing there waving, gesturing for Jock to come over. Judging from the person's build, they seemed even fatter than Jock, with a belly that almost reached the ground, and one hand was holding a large bottle of cola.
