Changing Life And Career? I Planted The World Tree At The Beginning

In the basic levels, each level has hints for the exam content and a countdown timer to prepare the candidates.

However, the endless mode has no hints.

After Chen Yu chose to start, the monsters immediately refreshed.

Or rather...

Deploy!

Chen Yu clearly saw a translucent portal opening not far from him.

Then, ten well-equipped goblin warriors walked out of it.

Chen Yu was quite familiar with goblins.

From their appearance, the levels of these ten goblin warriors should be between 30 and Level 35.

"Not enough to see," Chen Yu shook his head.

The thorny vine monsters noticed the appearance of the enemies and immediately rushed over.

Dozens of vine whips struck, and the ten goblin warriors instantly turned into pulp.

[Killed Level 30 goblin warrior, experience +30, due to level restrictions, experience automatically stored in the experience pool]

[Killed Level 31 goblin warrior, experience +31, due to level restrictions, experience automatically stored in the experience pool]

...

A heavenly message entered Chen Yu's mind, proving that these goblins were real monsters, not illusions generated by a special instance.

Real monsters would leave corpses in a short period of time.

So, the thorny vine monsters began to enjoy their feast.

"Kill goblin warriors *10, college entrance exam points +1"

The instance prompt sound also sounded.

In front of Chen Yu, a palm-sized number "1" appeared.

Presumably, this is the record of the points obtained by candidates in the endless mode.

The transparent portal that was just opened did not close after the goblin warriors walked out.

About 30 seconds later, ten more goblin warriors walked out of it.

The thorny vine monsters' eyes immediately lit up.

Before these goblin warriors had gone far from the portal, they were swept away by dozens of vines.

Some goblins that were simultaneously entangled by multiple thorny vines had a miserable fate.

The thorny vine monsters didn't give in to each other and directly tore them into several pieces, each taking their own share.

However, the thorny vine monsters would soon stop fighting over the corpses.

Because goblin warriors continuously rushed out of the portal.

At first, each batch had ten.

After ten batches of goblin warriors were quickly killed, it became twenty per batch.

The speed of spawning monsters had surpassed the thorny vine monsters' feeding speed.

A large number of monster corpses quickly piled up around the portal, far more than the thorny vine monsters could consume.

Seeing this, Chen Yu released hundreds of plant lives again.

The food-snatching expert, the man-eating flower spirit, appeared. Countless flower stems shot up into the sky, instantly creating a sky-covering sea of man-eating flowers.

Now, the speed of monster spawning from the portal was not enough.

A batch of goblins would appear and be snatched away immediately.

The thorny vine monsters felt the threat and increased their feeding speed.

Chen Yu calmly sat on the side, holding a petite lily spirit in his arms, eagerly watching the vines and man-eating flowers fight for food.

More than twenty lily spirits sat around Chen Yu, accompanying him to watch.

One man-eating flower spirit's performance was particularly outstanding.

She didn't compete with her colleagues for the goblin warriors that had already appeared. Instead, she quietly opened a few man-eating flowers and pressed them against the portal.

After a while, the flowers swelled up.

The man-eating flower spirit then took back that flower and replaced it with another batch.

She continued this until all the flowers were filled, then happily left the encirclement.

This operation made Chen Yu feel somewhat familiar.

It seemed that some clever man-eating flowers had done the same thing in a real instance before.

Those clever, always well-fed epic-level creatures have now evolved to the Legendary Level.

Inspired by the pioneers, the rest of the man-eating flower monsters followed suit.

The spawning portals were tightly surrounded by layers of man-eating flowers.

The thorny vine monsters were dumbfounded, as they didn't have this ability and could only retreat and sit with the lily flower monsters.

It wasn't until the spawning speed became faster than the digestion speed of the man-eating flower monsters that the thorny vine monsters had a chance to reappear.

There was no time indication in the instance, and it was unknown how long had passed before the kill notifications stopped.

Next to the teleportation portal, it was already crowded with dense plant life, totaling thousands.

These were all released later because the spawning speed became faster.

Chen Yu raised his eyelids, and his score record had already reached 5000.

This meant that during this period of time, his plant life had blocked and killed fifty thousand goblin warriors!

After waiting for a while and not seeing any monster respawns, Chen Yu ordered his plant life to step back and approached to check himself.

At this moment, the transparent teleportation portal was still there, but no more goblin warriors were pouring out of it.

"Is it over?" Chen Yu felt a bit puzzled. "It shouldn't be, right?"

The final level of the basic stage had elite monsters at Level 35.

It didn't make sense that in the endless mode, there were only some low-quality small monsters.

...

Cloud River Province examination hall, the command center for the college entrance examination.

As time passed, the difficulty of the levels continued to increase. On the screen wall, the names of the candidates kept dimming.

This meant that these candidates had been eliminated and their journey in this college entrance examination had come to an end.

Their scores had already been determined, and only the final judgment would be made at the end of the examination.

However, the two forbidden powerhouses, who were the chief examiner and the chief inspector, had already forgotten to pay attention to the general situation of the candidates in this examination.

They were staring intently at the first place on the leaderboard displayed on the big screen.

On the far right of the data column, there was a continuously jumping red number, representing the points obtained by this candidate in the endless mode.

The two forbidden powerhouses watched as the red number rose at an increasingly fast pace.

From the initial 1 to the current 5000!

Suddenly, an assistant wearing an examiner's uniform entered the hall and walked to Lord Frost's side, whispering, "Chief Examiner, there's a small issue in the examination hall!"

"What's the situation? Speak up," Lord Frost asked calmly.

"For the combat-oriented profession, the primary monsters prepared for the endless mode, the goblin warriors, are not enough," the assistant said cautiously.

"All used up?" Lord Frost frowned. "If there aren't enough, quickly replenish them. We can't let the high scores of the top geniuses be affected, especially the one in first place!"

The college entrance examination special instance could create physical illusions, but in the endless mode, real monsters had to be used. This was a strict rule.

The Soaring Dragon Empire was always well-prepared for the college entrance examination and rarely made mistakes.

A low-level mistake like running out of monsters should not have occurred in the examination hall.

"Well, actually, the reason there aren't enough monsters is because of the current first-ranked candidate..." the assistant said with a wry smile.

"My Lord, you should be aware of the rules of the endless mode in the college entrance examination."

"The endless mode is divided into stages based on time. The main purpose of the first two stages is to test the candidates' comprehensive abilities."

"The candidates need to protect themselves and counterattack effectively while there are a large number of monsters around them."

"In the first two stages of the endless mode, monsters spawn in waves every 30 seconds. The first ten waves have ten monsters each, and the eleventh to twentieth waves have twenty monsters each, and so on, until the number of monsters reaches the scene's limit. Even if the monsters are killed, they will be replenished."

"Yes, I know that," Lord Frost nodded.

Although the chief examiner's responsibility was mostly to guard and deter, rather than deal with the specific details of the college entrance examination, he still had some understanding of the examination system.

"The problem lies in the mechanism, and this is a situation we have never encountered before," the assistant said with an incredulous expression.

"In addition to the fixed time for monster spawns, the endless mode also has a hidden mechanism:

After a certain amount of time, if the number of monsters in the scene is less than 80% of the scene's limit,

Then the interval between waves will gradually shorten, and the number of monsters per wave will increase,

Until it reaches 80% of the scene's limit."

"In other words, the faster the candidates eliminate the monsters, the faster the monsters will respawn."

"And, there is no upper limit to the spawning speed, which will increase as time goes on."

"Based on our observations, there has never been a situation where the first-ranked candidate's examination hall has experienced monster accumulation from start to finish."

"So..."
