Chapter 383 The Sign of a Catastrophe - Gigantamax
[Remaining time for the assessment: 1 minutes and 25 seconds]

[The assessment checkpoint is located outside an abandoned shopping mall]

Jingle Bell!
The clear sound of bells rang out again, and the raccoon keeper strode into the abandoned shopping mall.

It looked at the dusty shelves, a hint of a smile flashing in its round eyes, its voice echoing in the empty mall.

"I must say, you are really smart and know how to use your star source."

"In terms of the basic qualities that an explorer should possess, you are already qualified."

In the mall, facing the praise from the raccoon manager, Mi Yao not only did not respond, but also tried his best to remain calm and dared not make the slightest move.

He could feel the raccoon's gaze sweeping across the shelves, lingering several times on his 'toy box'.

coincidence?

Mi Yao didn't think so.

It must have truly discovered itself, but for some reason, it didn't immediately choose to expose itself.

Just as Mi Yao was lost in thought, the raccoon keeper suddenly walked towards him.

"However, the purpose of the assessment is to allow you to demonstrate your full potential."

"If we let you pass the test so easily, then this assessment would be far too easy."

After speaking, the raccoon keeper put away his bell.

"Now that we've come this far, let me show you another option for a catastrophe-level disaster, an option that is outside of the domain."

As soon as he finished speaking, the raccoon's body suddenly emitted a pale golden star energy!

Star energy surged out like a tide, enveloping its body and causing its size to expand continuously.

The raccoon, which was originally only half a meter tall, grew to 5 meters, 10 meters, and 20 meters in the blink of an eye.
Boom!

The ceiling of the abandoned shopping mall was torn open, and steel bars and cement blocks fell like raindrops.

The raccoon's fur became as hard as armor, each hair gleaming with a metallic sheen. Its once cute little paws transformed into enormous bear paws, slamming into the ground and creating a crater 10 meters in diameter.

At the same time, its eyes turned gold, flashing with the pressure of a calamity-level star beast, and even the surrounding star energy began to become disordered.

As the raccoon administrator's transformation ended, a description of the transformation appeared on the dimensional screen.

[Catastrophe-level ability: Dynamax (Second Form)]

[Setting: A special form of a Cataclysmic Star Beast that breaks through its size limitations. By activating its own Star Essence Fluid, it can enlarge its size by 10-100 times, while gaining three major effects: 'Physical Enhancement', 'Star Source Strengthening', and 'Domain of Intimidation'. The cost is a 10-fold increase in the rate at which Star Energy is consumed.]

[Dimensional Bullet Comment Section]

'Wow! This Dynamax form of the raccoon is so cool! A 20-meter-tall bear is so intimidating!'

'So, Catastrophe-level monsters also have Dynamax forms!'

'It seems to have more than just increased size; there must be other special effects.'

Under the influence of the Cataclysmic Dynamax, Miyo's 'transformation' could no longer continue.

Standing amidst the ruins, he looked up at the giant raccoon over 20 meters tall before him and said with a wry smile, "So, besides their domain, the Calamity-level has such a trump card."

The raccoon looked down at him, its golden eyes filled with anticipation.

"Come on, Mi Yao. If you can survive the remaining time, you'll have cleared the game."

As soon as he finished speaking, the raccoon keeper raised his huge paw and slammed it down heavily on Mi Yao.

Before the bear's paw even landed, the wind pressure had already left deep marks on the ground, causing the shadow wolves that had been there to scatter and flee, too afraid to approach.

This is a natural disaster, a walking 'catastrophe' that cannot be easily countered by human power.

boom!
The bear paw landed, and the ground shook violently instantly.

The tremor was so strong that even those outside the checkpoint felt it. When the dust settled, Mi Yao reappeared before everyone's eyes.

But when everyone saw Mi Yao's condition, they all fell silent.

Although Mi Yao narrowly escaped the raccoon keeper's attack, he was not in good condition.

Not only was half of his body stained red with blood, but his right hand was also dangling like a strip of cloth, clearly dislocated or fractured.

However, Mi Yao seemed oblivious to the pain, running away into the distance without looking back.

fighting?

He must be out of his mind to be fighting with the raccoon manager right now.

Faced with an absolute gap in strength, 'management' simply cannot make up for the difference in 'stats' between the two sides.

Mi Yao knew this better than anyone else.

Moreover, in his view, hiding was the key to this game.

Confronting this kind of 'story boss' head-on is undoubtedly a very unwise choice.

However, escaping from the raccoon keeper at this moment is clearly not an easy task.

Just a few steps after Mi Yao ran away, that overwhelming hand descended again.

boom!
Amidst the billowing smoke and dust, Mi Yao's figure emerged from the haze.

Behind him, the old-fashioned game console that symbolizes a master video gamer reappears.

Then, an eerie light appeared around him, eventually materializing into a cool magnetic levitation sports car.

【Star Source: Gaming Master (Specialty Series)】

[Ability: Need for Speed]

[Effect: Depending on the amount of star energy consumed, different levels of high-speed vehicles can be materialized. During the journey, 'nitrogen balloons' will randomly spawn, and consuming them will temporarily increase speed.]

Mi Yao drove the materialized Need for Speed ​​car, transforming into a streak of light and shadow, and began to travel through the ruins.

At this moment, the scene of the assessment suddenly became interesting.

It was clearly a race against time, a matter of life and death.

However, Mi Yao transformed it into a spectacular scene comparable to a AAA game.

Behind them were massive vehicles constantly chasing after them, while ahead were maglev sports cars performing various high-difficulty maneuvers at high speeds.

If not everyone knew this was reality, they would all wonder if they were watching a new game launch event.

In this chase, Mi Yao's maglev sports car gracefully flew between two buildings on the verge of collapse before finally coming to a stop.

Stab it!

Amidst a burst of sparks, the wheels of the maglev sports car left two scratches on the ground.

Not far from him, the raccoon handler who had been relentlessly pursuing him also stopped.

Because the assessment time has come.

The raccoon administrator reverted to its original form and approached Mi Yao, who had also dissipated his Star Source abilities. It smiled and said, "Not bad, you've passed."

As he spoke, the raccoon keeper took out an explorer's badge from his hand and handed it to Mi Yao.

For now, this badge is just a trainee badge. Once Mi Yao passes the final theoretical test, he will officially become an explorer and be able to take on missions to explore the occupied territories.

Looking at the badge in his hand, Mi Yao was filled with mixed emotions.

The difficulty of this assessment was far greater than he had imagined.
