I Save The World In A Doomsday Text Game

Chapter 146-1: The Association’s Scam, First Encounter with Rona (1)

Faced with the skill scroll inscribed with Knowledge Barrier, Lin Xun immediately clicked to use it.

He couldn’t help but secretly sigh. Spending two thousand Spirit Essence was totally worth it!

[You unfold the Knowledge Skill Scroll and carefully interpret the characters inscribed upon it. Although you cannot read these seemingly indecipherable scribbles, it doesn’t prevent you from understanding the profound spell within.]

[Skill comprehension in progress…]

[The shell of Corrupted Yellow-Robed Bishop of the White Moon Church has successfully learned the shell skill, Knowledge Barrier!]

[Knowledge Barrier (Fine grade): By utilizing your lifelong accumulated knowledge, you condense tiny pure white characters that form into a sturdy barrier. Using this skill, you will generate a dense lattice of characters around you, capable of blocking all incoming damage until the barrier shatters. This skill requires a brief casting time. (Defensive magic skill)]

???

Three question marks slowly appeared in Lin Xun’s mind.

Why was this skill only Fine grade?

Whether it was the Knowledge Barrier that trapped the Refined Copper Monstrosity or the one used as a defensive fortification outside the association, both displayed extremely powerful defense that couldn’t possibly be only Fine grade.Was it because the Yellow-Robed Bishop’s academic qualifications weren’t sufficient, or was it that the skill scroll given by the examiner was of low quality?

[The Knowledge-Seeking Multivision Association Examiner nodded in satisfaction, giving you an excellent rating before returning to its seat.]

Hey hey hey, you’re satisfied with just Fine grade?

Lin Xun wished he could drag the examiner out and demand a few more scrolls to study, so he could upgrade the skill to Epic grade before finishing.

[The third examiner stepped forward. Seeing your lingering dissatisfaction, it reminded you that during the assessment, the scrolls given by examiners can at most allow comprehension of Fine grade skills. You’ve already performed very well.]

[As long as you receive excellent ratings in all three assessment sections, you will be awarded the title of ‘Elite Scholar.’]

[The influential figures of the association favor Elite Scholars. If one of them takes a liking to you, you may receive opportunities for advanced study, and perhaps even comprehend higher-level Knowledge Barrier skills.]

[The Knowledge-Seeking Multivision Association Examiner told you that the third test is to use all your acquired knowledge to launch a powerful strike at it. If you can break through its Knowledge Barrier, you pass the assessment.]

[Saying this, the Knowledge-Seeking Multivision Association Examiner began chanting. Dense, thread-like pure white characters instantly formed a barrier, securely protecting it.]

[The Knowledge-Seeking Multivision Association Examiner looked at you, waiting for you to attack.]

Lin Xun pondered for a moment.

Thermal Starlight was a bit too weak, and not a knowledge-type skill, so it wouldn’t be very effective against the Knowledge Barrier.

By comparison, Infusion of Illusory Knowledge was definitely better.

This skill could penetrate external fortification-type Knowledge Barriers; perhaps it could pierce personal Knowledge Barriers as well.

He opened his panel and activated Infusion of Illusory Knowledge.

[You open the countless eyes densely covering your face, and countless complex characters emerge from thin air…]

[The characters instantly shatter the thread-like Knowledge Barrier and shoot toward the examiner…]

[The Knowledge-Seeking Multivision Association Examiner’ froze, and its head exploded with a loud bang…]

[You have defeated the Knowledge-Seeking Multivision Association Examiner. Experience greatly increased!]

[You have obtained Multivision School Association Examiner Uniform (Fine grade equipment)]

Lin Xun was dumbfounded.

He hadn’t expected that a single cast of the skill would directly blast the examiner’s head off.

At this point, not to mention receiving excellent ratings, he was worried whether he could even safely leave the association building.

[The first examiner wiped the blood from its face, nodded in satisfaction, and declared that the candidate was simply too outstanding, which led to the examiner’s death. The blame could not be placed on the candidate but only on the examiner’s own lack of strength.]

[It stepped forward, kicked over the still-standing headless corpse, and requested your Scholar Assessment Qualification Certificate…]

[You handed over the item. It stamped three ‘Excellent’ marks onto the square card and returned the Scholar Assessment Qualification Certificate to you.]

[The Knowledge-Seeking Multivision Association Examiner told you that next, you may proceed to the Grand Scholar Auditorium at the far end of the first floor, where your promotion ceremony as a newly appointed Scholar will be held.]

Since the third examiner’s head was blown off, the game did not display any possession text.

Fortunately, he still passed the scholar assessment and even received full excellent ratings.

Lin Xun couldn’t help but look forward to the treatment that came with the Elite Scholar title.

With the test complete, he left the examination room.

[You exit the Scholar Assessment Hall and, accompanied by the Battle Angel – Valkyrie, enter the corridor and return to the reception hall.]

[What will you do next?]

Following the examiner’s instructions, his next destination was the Grand Scholar Auditorium.

[You pass the reception counter and enter the corridor leading deeper into the first floor…]

[At the end of the corridor stands a tightly closed door. According to the Directory Map of the Multivision School Association Building, pushing open the door leads to the Grand Scholar Auditorium.]

[On the side of the corridor is a Refined Copper elevator. By taking the elevator, you can reach the upper floors of the association building.]

[Do you wish to enter the Grand Scholar Auditorium or take the elevator?]

[You walk to the end of the corridor and push open the closed door…]

[The auditorium is filled with tiered seating, where only a handful of scholars are present as witnesses.]

[At the far end of the auditorium stands a stage draped in red curtains.]

[Your sudden arrival draws the attention of the seated scholars. They put down their books and turn their gazes toward you.]

[You behold the appearance of the Knowledge-Seeking Multivision Association Scholars for the first time. The numerous eyes give you a chilling feeling. You feel dizzy, and a surge of disordered knowledge floods into your soul.]

[You have acquired knowledge. Your Knowledge stat increases by 225! Current Knowledge: 1720/2700]

[A Knowledge-Seeking Multivision Association Registrar wearing association uniform hurriedly approaches you.]

[It arrives at your side and gestures for you to hand over the Scholar Assessment Qualification Certificate so it can conduct your promotion ceremony.]

[You hand over the square card. Upon seeing it, the registrar exclaims in surprise that you are an Elite Scholar who passed with full excellent ratings!]

[The observing scholars cast envious glances at you.]

[The Knowledge-Seeking Multivision Association Registrar explains that for ordinary scholars, the promotion ceremony is simple: they are awarded a certificate, badge, and robe from the association on stage in front of the assembled scholars.]

[But for an Elite Scholar like you, things are somewhat different.]

[It takes out a list and hands it to you…]
