The villain daughter did all kinds of things

So Amelie stopped asking about the world consciousness and acted as if she had just come to keep Amelie company because she was lonely. After chatting and playing with Amelie for about half a day, she decided to leave.

"Hey?"

This surprised the world consciousness, which blinked and said:

"Are you really just here to keep me company because you're afraid I'm lonely? Or are you after my knowledge?"

"Of course not... Do you think I'm that mercenary? I promised you I'd come and play with you often, and I'll definitely keep my word."

In the end, Amelie simply smiled, patted the head of the World Consciousness, and left.

For Amelite, coming to the Root of the World is equivalent to deep meditation, and deep meditation is the best rest for a spellcaster. It won't take up her time at all, and she can come here often in the future without any problem.

The World Consciousness stared intently at the spot where Emerald had disappeared. If this were a Galagame, her favorability towards Emerald would have increased by at least ten points.

A few days later, the eligible girls selected by the Allen Federation, the Tianyun Empire, and the Shangying Kingdom were sent to Locke City to participate in Amelie's entrance examination.

There are more than 300 people in total, the youngest being eleven or twelve years old and the oldest being sixteen or seventeen years old. They are all girls with good looks and talent.

About two-thirds of these girls came from noble families, powerful clans, and aristocratic households, but about one-third were commoner girls, including a few tall but fair-skinned people from barbarian tribes.

"First of all, welcome to those who are willing to become my disciples. Regardless of whether you pass my test today or not, I will give you a small gift."

Emerald smiled kindly at the girls at first, but after they became somewhat excited, she suddenly turned stern and said coldly:

"But I also want to remind you that your ability to stand out locally and be sent here does not mean that you will definitely be selected... regardless of your family background."

“Don’t tell me how powerful or strong your elders are… because no matter how powerful they are, they are not as powerful as me, and no matter how strong they are, they are not as strong as me. These factors that made you proud before are all useless to me.”

"So no matter what your status is, you're all the same to me... If you want to stand out here and gain my attention, the only thing you can rely on is your own talent! Do you all understand?"

"I...I understand!"

The girls' voices were somewhat timid, but their answers were still loud and clear, and they were not intimidated by Emery's imposing manner and words. They were indeed quite qualified.

Emery nodded silently to this, but her expression remained unchanged:

"Now that you've understood, let's begin the assessment... There are seven assessment items in total. You'll earn one point for each item you pass. If you get five points, you'll be considered qualified and can become my disciple."

"Now let's begin the first item... Anyone among you who came with sisters, lovers, or close friends can form a pair, please step forward hand in hand!"

The girls were all stunned for a moment upon hearing this, but soon some of them, though blushing, still walked out hand in hand with determination.

"We are sisters!"

"We are sisters too, twins!"

"This is my wife and me!"

"We're just good friends... but the kind of friends for life!"

"I...I...I...We fell in love at first sight on the way here!"

After someone took the lead, the girls were quite bold and pulled their partners out one after another.

Some of the quicker-witted girls had already guessed what the passing criteria for this test would be, and they directly grabbed the other single girls next to them and said that they had fallen in love at first sight.

Emerald didn't care about such clever tricks... as long as the girls who were forcibly dragged along didn't object, she would truly believe that they had fallen in love at first sight.

Soon, more than 200 of the 300 girls stepped forward with their partners, leaving less than 100 single girls standing there pitifully.

"Alright, the first assessment is now complete!"

Seeing that no more girls were leaving the group hand in hand, Emerald personally announced the end of the first test and said to Marcy beside her:

"Make a note of this, Sisi. All the girls with partners get an extra point."

"Yes, Miss."

Marcy nodded obediently, touched the small white flower ornament on her head, and completed the score recording with the help of Lily of the Valley.

Chapter 388 The New Generation of Geniuses

Can I get 1 extra point just by bringing my own partner to the assessment?

Isn't this bullying single people?

The less than 100 girls who didn't get any points felt a bit wronged and regretted their slow reaction. They wished they had just grabbed someone and said they had fallen in love at first sight... Whether the two were compatible was a matter for later; they should have just gotten the points first!

"Although I don't know where you all heard this news from, the person who told you this news must have also told you my purpose in recruiting disciples."

Amelie noticed the grievances of the single girls and explained calmly:

"Guarding the seal away from the town for long periods of time is an extremely tedious and lonely job, and humans are social creatures, so it is difficult for one person to do this job alone... Even if you can persevere, it will be very painful and will wither your spirit."

"So having a partner you never get tired of, no matter how long you spend together, is the foundation for you to be able to do this job in the future. People who already have partners are naturally one step ahead, so giving them only 1 point is actually a bit too little."

The girls naturally dared not say anything more.

Soon, Marcy's scoring was completed, and Emery didn't delay, immediately announcing the start of the second test.

"Come with me, everyone."

With the girls who were taking the test with her, Amelie entered her magic tower and went up to the 21st floor that had been prepared in advance.

Magic circles have been drawn on the ground, and there are about 500 circular blankets, each about 1 meter in diameter, placed inside the magic circles, enough for each of the girls to have one.

"All sit down."

Emerald first waved for the girls to enter the magic circle and find a round blanket to sit on before announcing the rules for the second test:

"This test is very simple. You will all be pulled into an illusion in a moment. Just try your best to hold on inside the illusion... Those who have partners can enter hand in hand with their partners. Those who don't have partners can try to find a partner and fall in love at first sight, but only two people can enter at the same time. Let's begin."

As soon as the words were spoken, the magic circle was activated, and a gentle yet irresistible illusion instantly affected all the girls, making their eyelids heavy and causing them to fall asleep quickly.

Those girls who had partners naturally sat together with their partners when they arrived, and they almost always held hands with their fingers intertwined, so there was no problem.

Many of the single girls, who clearly wanted to find a partner to boost their chances of getting ahead, couldn't resist the drowsiness after the illusion was activated. They could only grab the hands of other girls around them, regardless of whether they had formed a group or not, and then they all lost consciousness and entered the illusion.

The illusionary scene in this illusion was, of course, arranged in advance by Emerald. There was no danger in the illusion; it was simply to let the girls get a taste of their future work—living together far from town with their partners.

The only difficulty in this test is that the flow of time in the illusion is different from that in the real world.

The girls only slept for about an hour in the magic circle, but they would stay in the illusion for at least five years. Moreover, their experiences in the illusion would be broadcast live by Suzuran, who controlled the illusion, to Amelie and the others.

"Wow... young girls these days really know how to have fun. Many of them are almost as good as I was back in my day."

The girls were all lost in a dream. Emerald was particularly indulgent while watching the live stream. She sat on Sulina's back, her head resting on Marcy's arms as a backrest, holding Julia in her arms, and a Viliana lying at her feet.

Life away from towns can be very lonely, and the best way to relieve loneliness is naturally to do the happiest things with loved ones.

So, only half a year had passed in the illusion before the girls couldn't hold back any longer.

Especially for girls with partners, regardless of whether their original relationship was sisters, best friends, or lovers, they quickly become sisters, best friends, or lovers all at once.

They take care of each other like sisters, play together like best friends, and even do intimate things that only couples do to relieve loneliness.

As for the single girls, if they happened to be holding someone's hand before entering, they would basically be able to successfully hold hands with someone in the illusion.

Because when there is only one human companion in the whole world who can be with you, no matter what your original orientation or XP system is, you can only fall in love with her in the end... These lucky new partners also have a good chance of getting this 1 point.

As for the girls who accidentally teamed up with multiple people when entering the illusion, they were declared to have failed the test as soon as they entered the illusion. Moreover, they could not wake up from the illusion immediately. They would have to watch the live broadcast of other illusions in the illusion - that is, they were forced to watch other girls' lovey-dovey moments, which once again dealt a blow to these single girls.

There are single people who happen to be matched with strangers, single people who accidentally team up with multiple people, and of course, there are girls who didn't have a chance to hold hands with anyone, or who simply disdain holding hands with others.

They were more unlucky. Living alone is very painful, and many people couldn't persevere for more than a year before giving up and abandoning the assessment.

But some people really did persevere.

She was a girl from a wild tribe in the Eastern Continent. She was very tall, already 190 centimeters tall at only 15 years old, and looked very strong, like a female cheetah.

This kind of figure should have made the girl a fierce woman like Judy, but no, her skin was quite fair and tender under the nourishment of spiritual energy. Her face was not particularly exquisite and beautiful, but it was still pleasing to the eye, and at least it was definitely not ugly.

The girl from this wild tribe was not afraid of loneliness at all. Every day she hunted all kinds of birds and beasts in the jungle of the illusion, and then cooked them in different ways. She turned all the resources she could find into kitchen utensils or seasonings. She even brewed her own wine and lived a very fulfilling life.

The other girls mostly relied on each other and their partners to get through these three years, but this girl from the wild tribe passed the test entirely by herself by eating and drinking a variety of different things every day.

Such a remarkable performance naturally caught Emerald's attention immediately, and she quickly checked the girl's information through Suzuran.

The girl's name was Avani, and she came from a remote and impoverished tribe far from the Tianyun Empire.

Avani is a gifted hunter in the tribe. From a very young age, she was able to hunt alone in the jungle for days or even half a month, and she was proficient in various gathering and cooking skills.

After Tuosheying and Ji Xinyu reached a cooperation agreement, Awani encountered Tuosheying, who was patrolling the wilderness, during a hunt. She then came into contact with the culture of the Tianyun Empire and saw the various daily necessities produced by the Tianyun Empire.

For such a backward and impoverished primitive tribe, even the most basic daily necessities of the Tianyun Empire were a luxury... In order to improve the tribe's life, Awani decisively signed the labor contract given by Tuosheying, and went to the Tianyun Empire to work and earn money to support the tribe.

Avani was originally supposed to be sent to the palace of the Tianyun Empire to serve as a maid to Ji Xinyu's harem, but it just so happened that Amelie was recruiting many disciples, and Ji Xinyu discovered that Avani had great talent, so she sent her to the Federation.

"Are they destined to be laborers to support the entire tribe?"

After reading the information about Avani, Emery immediately laughed:

"Then let me take a good look at your will and awareness... If you can pass the remaining tests and perform well, I might be willing to give you a considerable income."

The second assessment thus came to an end.

Avani was the only single girl without a partner who passed the test.

Most of the girls who had partners passed the test, but a small number of them had a falling out with their partners and even broke up with them after leaving the illusion, preferring to face the subsequent tests alone rather than team up with their ex-girlfriends.

At this point, two of the seven assessments have been passed, and most of the single women haven't scored a single point. They must pass all the remaining assessments to stay.

But if the next assessment items continue to discriminate against single people, they can just go home... The girls are worried about this and feel a little wronged.

Fortunately, Emery spoke up in time, saying that the next four assessments would not have much to do with whether or not someone had a partner, but would all be assessments of individual abilities.

This helped those single people regain some confidence... They were all talented girls selected from various places, and they were quite confident in their abilities.

Although only a little over an hour had passed in reality during this assessment in the illusion, the girls had actually spent about five years in the illusion, and were all somewhat mentally exhausted.

So Amelie let them rest for two hours before continuing the assessment, and treated them to a meal on a large cake, providing a variety of the finest delicacies from the Allen Federation.

Even the daughters of powerful and wealthy families rarely get to taste these delicacies, because many of the ingredients cannot be bought with money. They are mostly from ancient dragon-level monsters and are practically priceless.

But at Amelie's place, these top-tier delicacies seemed to be commonplace. The unlimited supply almost made the noble ladies lose their composure, let alone the common girls, who all ate with gusto, their mouths greasy and indulging without a care for their image.

Even at Amelie's house, they couldn't afford to eat such precious ingredients for the first two years.

The turning point came when old man Langdon used his biotechnology to create a magical cloning technique that combined with Theresa Scarlet Moon's reborn divine power.

This technology can be mass-produced even by a complete elven mage, so copying the body parts of some high-level monsters as ingredients is of course even easier... From then on, Amelie's family never lacked top-quality ingredients, and almost every meal was a top-quality feast.

Even Yulia's rapid improvement in strength is somewhat related to this matter.

Yulia can improve her attributes by eating foods rich in magic. Eating the best foods for a year in a row will naturally turn her into a numerical monster.

In short, after such a sumptuous meal, the girls who participated in the assessment had basically recovered their strength and energy and were able to continue the assessment.

The third assessment was indeed, as Emeryt had said, an evaluation of individual abilities, but it was still quite different from what the girls had imagined.

Emerald is recruiting disciples to teach them the magic of the Suppression Sect, so shouldn't the assessment at least test their spellcasting talent? Even if they don't pass the first two assessments, shouldn't they at least pass the third one?

The third test turned out to be different. Emerald simply led the girls into a large room that resembled a classroom, gave each of them a test paper, and asked them to do the questions.

The questions don't seem difficult and don't involve any profound theoretical knowledge, but you'll find that they're not so easy when you try to solve them carefully.

This is a set of test questions that Amelie personally wrote, based on her own experience with civil service exams and brainstorming tests from her past life. The main objective of the test is not to assess the girls' knowledge, but rather their way of thinking when faced with problems.

Many multiple-choice questions don't actually have fixed answers. Each option will be given points, but the number of points will vary... You can get a decent score by just filling in random answers, but it's difficult to actually get a high score.

Although most of the girls did not understand the purpose of Amelie's questions, they still thought carefully and tried to choose the correct answer from among those that all seemed correct in order to get the highest possible score.

The threshold for this assessment should be considered the lowest, as long as one can read, but not all the girls who participated in the assessment could actually read.

For example, several girls from a wild tribe stared blankly at the test paper, clearly unable to read.

But they weren't stupid. By secretly observing the other girls, they quickly figured out how to answer these multiple-choice questions... Even if they couldn't understand the questions at all, they could still guess the answers and started choosing randomly based on their intuition.

However, not all girls from the wild tribes are illiterate. For example, Avani, who performed well in the last test, is clearly literate... because she was struggling with the questions and was not Xia Ji Ba Cai.

"You can actually read?"

Amelie was somewhat surprised to see this, so she went to Avani's side to look at her answer sheet and asked her directly.

"Ah."

Avani nodded, then whispered somewhat shyly:

"Originally, I was illiterate. After I signed the labor contract, Lady Tosher said that it wouldn't be right for me to serve the nobles in the Imperial Palace without being literate... so she made me spend about two months learning to read and write."

"You mastered basic reading and writing in just two months? That's quite impressive."

Emerald reached out and patted Avani's head approvingly... This girl is really tall; when she's sitting, her head is level with Emerald's chest.

Another hour passed quickly, and it was time to answer the questions.
