Chapter 29 - Arrogant and overbearing, yet slick and worldly

  After anonymously registering as a "Lone Wolf," a document appeared on the large screen, detailing the benefits Ye Bai could enjoy.

  "A monthly allowance of 30,000 Dragon Coins, equivalent to 30 Gold Coins, to be collected on the second Thursday of each month at the Combat Power Test Area..."

  Thirty Gold Coins, roughly the expenses for a family of three for about three months, was not a small amount.

  However, compared to the speed at which Ye Bai acquired resources, 30 Gold Coins seemed insignificant.

  Starting from yesterday, after clearing the beginner dungeon, he was rewarded with 100,000 Gold Coins, spent 80,000 on Nature's Force, leaving a balance of 20,000.

  Reporting Zuo Tiannan earned him a bounty of 30,000 Gold Coins, and purchasing Wind Slash cost 7,000 Gold Coins.

  Ye Bai still had 43,000 Gold Coins in hand, equivalent to 4.3 million Dragon Coins.

  "The official allowance for a first-tier Warrior is 15,000 Dragon Coins, with other benefits included.

  Due to the anonymity of the Lone Wolf, other benefits cannot be enjoyed, so an extra 15,000 in monthly allowance is reasonable."

  Getting 30,000 for free each month, Ye Bai could collect 360,000 a year without doing anything, and in two or three years, he could buy a house outright!

  "The Warrior Test needs to be reviewed every five years. If you advance within five years, the review cycle is recalculated."

  Ye Bai skimmed through the document's terms; there wasn't much that required his attention.

  As the Lone Wolf had the least constraints, there naturally weren't many rules to bind Ye Bai.

  "A Lone Wolf can accept tasks in the Combat Power Test Area and receive corresponding rewards upon completion."

  "Once activated, the Lone Wolf Medal can transform into a Lone Wolf Mask to conceal one's true identity.

  Any attempt to spy on the face behind the Lone Wolf Mask is considered a provocation...."

  Seeing this, Ye Bai looked down at the Lone Wolf Medal.

  [Can resist probing below level 200]

  Level 200, the threshold of Battle General strength.

  As a first-tier Warrior, as long as Ye Bai didn't act too conspicuously, it would be hard to attract the attention of a Battle General.

  "It's enough for now."

  Storing away the Lone Wolf Medal and memorizing the document's contents, Ye Bai stepped out of the room.

  This story originates from Royal Road. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.

  He happened to run into Jiang Yun and his group, who seemed to have just finished their tests.

  Jiang Yun's face was ashen, looking particularly unpleasant, like a moldy sock.

  [Couldn't last 3 seconds in the nerve response test, hmm, a real man for 3 seconds!]

  Jiang Yun didn't notice Ye Bai, as his group angrily confronted the staff.

  "What happened? Was there a mistake in the combat power test difficulty?"

  A rogue with a sharp face shouted.

  "Exactly! I was eliminated after just a minute; how is that possible!"

  Hearing this, Ye Bai gave him a surprised look.

  A minute?

  A minute at third-tier Warrior level? That's impressive!

  Unfortunately, Ye Bai was disappointed.

  Above the rogue's head appeared a line of text:

  [Lasted 6 seconds!]

  "Impressive, impressive, turning 6 seconds into a minute, he's mastered the art of boasting."

  Ye Bai nodded, reflecting inwardly.

  High emotional intelligence: Time flies when you're with someone you like.

  Low emotional intelligence: Just not in good form today.

  Clearly, everyone's combat power tests had issues.

  What should have been a first-tier Warrior test had its difficulty raised to third-tier!

  Ye Bai managed to grit his teeth and get through it, even dodging 98% of the attacks and earning a high rating.

  Jiang Yun and his group couldn't handle it.

  These prodigies thought they could at least pass the first stage with dignity.

  Who knew they'd be humiliated right from the start, looking utterly disheveled!

  The huge gap was unacceptable to them, and they demanded an explanation.

  Soon,

  A slightly chubby, bald middle-aged man hurried over from the hall, his forehead beaded with sweat, looking anxious.

  "Sorry, everyone, I'm so sorry!"

  Seeing Jiang Yun's group, he knew he was in big trouble today!

  Among them were quite a few descendants of Battle Kings!

  "Most people took leave today to go to the Eternal Tower, and you can see the situation here.

  A new employee accidentally set the test to third-tier Warrior level, truly sorry...."

  After a few explanations, Jiang Yun and the others' expressions softened.

  They just wanted an explanation.

  Even as second-generation rich, they had no reason to go against such a small character.

  "Messed up? How can such a big deal as the Warrior Test be taken lightly!"

  A young man deliberately scolded with a stern face.

  "Yes, yes, you're right."

  The bald middle-aged man nodded and bowed, constantly flattering.

  Jiang Yun's group vented their anger, seeing his slick manner, and even if they punched him, it wouldn't make a difference.

  This kind of punching bag, like cotton, wasn't even interesting to bully.

  "Alright, let's pretend nothing happened this time. I won't report your work mistake."

  The leading young man spoke arrogantly, his words full of disdain.

  "But, the recording...."

  The bald middle-aged man immediately caught on.

  This group of prodigies came to the Warrior Test full of enthusiasm, only to leave in defeat.

  If the recording got out, their reputations would be ruined, and they'd be the laughing stock of their circle!

  Jiang Yun and his group causing a scene was never about the test itself.

  They wanted the recording deleted to destroy the evidence of their embarrassment!

  The bald middle-aged man immediately caught on, continuing along with their words,

  "Really sorry, we're short-staffed today, too busy, and forgot to turn on the camera here!"

  Saying this, he pulled out a tablet, tapped a few times, and deleted the previous Warrior Test recording.

  "Heh, you're smart."

  Only then did Jiang Yun's group relent and leave.

  Ye Bai, who witnessed this farce, didn't say much.

  He disliked the arrogance of these geniuses but didn't look down on the manager's slickness.

  After all, the geniuses were arrogant because they believed they had the capital to be so.

  Family background, talent, connections....

  They far surpassed their peers, making it hard not to be proud.

  And the manager's slickness was more about the hardships and difficulties of life.

  Resolving a work mistake like this was a narrow escape.

  None of this concerned Ye Bai, and no one paid attention to him.

  Like Little Invisible, he left the test room, heading to the Lone Wolf task area to see if there were any tasks worth taking.

  After Jiang Yun and the others left, the bald manager breathed a sigh of relief, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

  "Those little brats, scared me to death."

  As mentioned earlier, if there were issues with the Warrior Test, it would be a major work mistake!

  At best, a fine; at worst, sent to the Abyssal Plane to mine rocks!

  "Thankfully, it was just a false alarm."

  The bald manager picked up the tablet, glancing at the previous test data.

  "126 people tested, 125 failed, 1 succeeded, Rating: SS-level...."

  "As expected, they all failed."

  The bald manager put down the tablet, suddenly stunned, as if lightning struck his mind.

  Did he overlook something?

  He quickly picked up the tablet, eyes widening in disbelief, rubbing them with one hand.

  "Did I see that right?"

  "Someone actually passed the third-tier Warrior nerve response test!"

  "And with an SS-level rating!"

  "Who is this incredible person? Quick, check the recording!"

  The bald manager stood frozen, as if struck by lightning.

  The recording... had just been deleted by him....
