Chapter 570: Chapter 8: Special Grade Evaluation (2)
```
The second stage test was clearly more complex than the first one. Without a change in the allotted time, the number of medicinal herbs to be found increased, and specific therapeutic effects were designated.
Among the students who entered the Basic Class, many were exceptional individuals among their peers, with at least half of them being Natural Cultivators. Around half of these students achieved grades of good or better.
"Stage two Qianlin Valley test evaluation, excellent."
With the experience from the last time, Xiao Xian also knew that this test was likely to be related to her later course arrangement. This time she didn’t dawdle and directly found the qualified medicinal herbs: Big Jujube, ginger, Earth Gall, Mica, Fu Long Gan, White Top, Bai Touweng, Catechu, Atractylodes, codonopsis.
Likewise, the more than ten medicinal herbs found were also preserved as rewards.
"Welcome to Wanlin Hills. As a Natural Cultivator, please find three kinds of precious medicinal herbs that are twenty years old within one hour in the hills."
There was a slight change in the voice of the Central Computer Shakespeare.
"Hey, why is the stage three test not only longer in time, but the types of medicinal herbs to find have decreased. Just finding three twenty-year-old herbs is enough? Isn’t that too simple?" Xiao Xian shrugged her shoulders and walked into the changed scene of the Wanlin Hills.
In fact, Xiao Xian was unaware that among those who moved from the Reverse Genius Class to the Basic Class, only one percent were able to enter the third stage test. From forest to valley to hills, the difficulty of the tests increased by a geometric multiple.
From a forest containing a hundred different plants to the hills with increased area and vegetation types, finding exactly three twenty-year-old medicinal herbs among ten thousand plants within an hour in a completely unfamiliar environment was almost an impossible task.
"Is there really twenty-year-old Pueraria Root? And there’s actually quite a lot of it," Xiao Xian thought gleefully to herself. Based on the previous test benefits, the herbs would be kept, and if not claiming the herbs now, then when?
Xiao Xian collected nearly fifty jin of Pueraria Root, followed by twenty-year-old shengdi and twenty-year-old Gastrodia. The quality of each medicinal herb was incomparable to those found in real life.
"Time taken forty minutes. Hmm, this test should also be between good and excellent," Xiao Xian gathered the herbs and waited for the test result to appear.
North Campus is truly a magical place where space exists much like Russian nesting dolls, interlocking in rings, one connected to the next. The previous test spaces roughly reached the copper grade level.
This time the evaluation result took a bit longer. The central computer seemed to be conducting a background check.
"Wanlin Hills test evaluation, special."
Not excellent, not good, but special? Xiao Xian was stunned by this test result.
However, unlike the previous times, Wanlin Hills didn’t immediately vanish, and the scene didn’t switch but rather settled down.
"Personal course arrangement is complete. Evaluation results are as follows: Congratulations to newcomer Zhu Xiaoxian for obtaining one Basic Class Special Course, receiving 10000 Heaven-defying Value reward, and your Heaven Card is upgraded to a Junior VIP Card." Central Computer Shakespeare announced the final assessment outcome.
Almost at the same time, a notification popped up on the computers of Reverse Genius Class students at all three levels - beginner, intermediate, and advanced - in use: "Congratulations to a Basic Class *** student on obtaining a special-level course."
For students in the Reverse Genius Class, they can train 24 hours a day if they wish, with the afternoon being the time with the most class attendance. Therefore, more than eighty percent of the students received this message.
Wang Lu and Xu Lan Ya both received this message.
"A Basic Class special-level course? Truly rare. I’ve heard that special-level courses are hard to come by. I wonder which hard-working primary student passed the test." The testing on the central computer is not a one-time event. Generally, students undergo a corresponding assessment when they first arrive.
After passing the first assessment, they may also choose to be re-assessed in the future, though the rewards for passing will be much less. However, there are still some test-obsessed individuals who occasionally sprint through the tests.
However, for people like Xu Lan Ya, there are only three levels in the Hua Ke Courtyard’s Reverse Genius Class, and the gap between each level is huge. Even if a Basic Class student gets a special-level course, it’s no big deal, at most just an Intermediate Lower level.
The pop-up hint didn’t specify which student, so the older students naturally assumed that it was some test-obsessed individual who passed the test. No one expected that this particular test came from a new student who had entered Campus two days ago and was undergoing assessment for the first time.
Special courses, obtained through repeated assessments, about ten percent of the school’s population are qualified. Yet to obtain a special-level course from the start, especially as a beginner student, Xiao Xian is the first in the history of the Reverse Genius Class.
"The tests are all over, so why hasn’t Wanlin Hills disappeared?" Due to time constraints and Xiao Xian’s diligent herb harvesting, she had only climbed a few dozen meters of the hills that were about three to four hundred meters high.
There were a lot of decades-old medicinal herbs scattered at the foot of the hills.
"This test scene will serve as the central location for future course training." The prompt from Central Computer Shakespeare made Xiao Xian smile from ear to ear.
After a series of tests, Xiao Xian was eager to tell Yiyi everything. She exited the central computer first.
"10,000 Heaven-defying Value, haha, Yiyi would be ecstatic to see this," Xiao Xian, completely unaware that she had done something remarkable, was still reveling in the joy of 10,000 Heaven-defying Value, not to mention the piles of twenty-year-old precious medicinal materials arrayed before her.
Xiao Xian pondered. Their modest dorm room could finally get some new additions. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote with your monthly ticket or recommendation ticket at Qidian (). Your support is my greatest motivation.)
