Abyss Game: I am covered with cheats

Xu Tong's demand was ultimately not fulfilled by the invigilator.

After all, Xu Tong was destined to be eliminated. If his request had been granted and all the remaining players were eliminated, wouldn't the goal of eliminating him have failed?

However, after spending several hours in the restroom, the bell signaling the end of the exam finally rang.

Xu Tong and the invigilator emerged from the restroom and finally returned to the examination hall.

The examination hall was now a complete mess, with a large number of candidates collapsing on the ground due to NG behaviors, and some were even 'manually eliminated' by other players for provoking them.

Of the final ten people remaining in this round, none were ordinary NPC candidates.

The remaining ten people, including Xu Tong, Zhuang Jiasheng, Pei Wenyu, and Charles, were all players.

This meant that the competition in this fifth round would be particularly brutal.

Because in this instance, players were not restricted from using skills and equipment.

If someone was really pushed to the edge, it would definitely trigger small-scale conflicts among the players.

This was different from the previous petty squabbles.

After all, the effects of players' skills and equipment at this level were mostly not to be underestimated.

The two invigilators collected all the papers in turn, urging the remaining ten candidates to leave the examination hall.

Once all ten people had left the examination hall, Zhuang Jiasheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Great, I can finally talk. I was suffocating just now."

The second person to speak was Charles, but he didn't respond to Zhuang Jiasheng. Instead, he looked at Xu Tong with a smile that wasn't exactly friendly. "Impressive, you actually found the only way to survive."

Xu Tong glanced at him.

"Don't pretend. I saw the contents of your paper when they were collecting them just now," Charles shrugged and said, "Your NG behavior is not being able to breathe in the examination hall, right? So, applying to go to the restroom was your only way to survive.

"You're really something. If you had been even a step slower and someone else had taken the restroom break, you would have died in there."

Seeing that Xu Tong didn't react, Charles continued, "But you probably won't be so lucky next time. After all, it's already the fifth round, and there will only be one top scorer, and that person will definitely be me."

Xu Tong remembered that Zhuang Jiasheng had told him before that Charles had an unknown trump card.

However, even Zhuang Jiasheng, who shared an examination hall with Charles and had clearly witnessed him using this trump card, didn't know what it was.

If we exclude the possibility that Zhuang Jiasheng was lying to him and working with Charles to deal with him, then there should only be one possibility for this trump card.

But more than this trump card, Xu Tong was actually more concerned about another matter.

According to the contents of the instance's introduction, the fifth round of the exam should only leave one top scorer with the best score.

What if, in the final stage, there were two candidates with the same score, or rather, two candidates with the same performance?

How would it be judged in the end? Would it still depend on who was luckier and pick one from the people with the same score?

No, that would conflict with the content in the instance's introduction.

Because the instance's introduction emphasized that it would select the "most outstanding" candidate.

If there were two candidates with the same score, then the score naturally couldn't be considered "most outstanding."

It was also impossible to have another separate test, because the five rounds of tests were fixed.

Judging from the invigilator's words, the question-setting team should have also stipulated that Xu Tong must die in the fifth round of the exam. This fifth round of the exam should be a very crucial node.

What would happen after the fifth round of the exam? After this event occurred, it would be impossible to arrange a separate exam.

"Then... how about we try..."

Before the thought in Xu Tong's mind could fully emerge, Zhuang Jiasheng suddenly noticed an anomaly.

"Wait a minute, doesn't something seem wrong here?"

Zhuang Jiasheng raised his hand, pointing to the place where the buffer pad had slowly opened earlier.

"This round is over, so why hasn't anyone come out to announce the results yet?"

Everyone immediately looked up, following the direction Zhuang Jiasheng was pointing.

Sure enough, the area where the question-setting team had appeared in the previous rounds, the buffer pad didn't open this time.

Everyone didn't know what was happening for a moment, but one thing was certain, and that was that this last round of the exam would definitely not be simple.

Ding-ling-ling——

A burst of restless ringing sounded, similar to the ringing that had occurred several times before.

And the ringing that sounded at this moment foreshadowed one thing.

That was that the final exam of the fifth round had begun.

No test papers.

No signature pens.

There wasn't even a proper examination hall.

All that existed were the candidates standing in this white space, looking at each other, at a loss.

"This round of the exam doesn't even give us test papers?" With a dry laugh, Zhuang Jiasheng scratched his hair. "If there aren't even test papers, can this even be considered an exam?"

Ka-da——

With a soft sound, just as Zhuang Jiasheng's voice fell, not far from everyone, a buffer pad at the end of the white space slowly opened, revealing a narrow, cramped corridor behind it.

The corridor was slightly brighter than the toilet passage that Xu Tong had entered before.

You could faintly see that there was a door at the end of the corridor. Everyone looked at each other, not knowing how to act.

The majority of people's gazes were on Charles. After all, no matter what, he had borrowed experience from players of Lyman Isaac's level. At this time, he definitely knew what to do better than them.

Noticing everyone's gazes, Charles was also stunned for a moment, and then he held out his hand.

"Since the door is open, let's go."

Charles said with a fake smile, "After all, we don't have any hints right now. We can't just stay in the same place, right? Maybe they'll deduct our points. It's the last round, you guys probably don't want to be eliminated, right?"

Listening to Charles's words, everyone felt that it didn't seem to be a problem, so they started moving their feet, preparing to head towards the corridor behind the buffer pad.

At this moment, a not-so-harmonious voice disrupted everyone's thoughts.

"Wait a minute."

Hearing the voice, everyone turned back in confusion, looking at the person who had spoken.

"What do you want?"

The person who stopped the group of players was Xu Tong, and at this time, Xu Tong just calmly looked around.

"Have you guys forgotten something very important? Don't tell me I'm the only one who's realized this problem?"

Seeing that no one answered, Pei Wenyu picked up the conversation and replied, "NG behavior.

"In the previous round of the exam's broadcast, the question-setting team said that this round's NG behavior would switch.

"But right now, we still don't know what our NG behavior is. Taking any action could trigger the NG behavior, causing us to be eliminated."

Everyone nodded belatedly, only then remembering that there was such an important matter.

"Then... where should we find out about our NG behavior?"

At this time, a sound suddenly came from Xu Tong's side, "Eh!"

Zhuang Jiasheng looked at him with surprised eyes, "Could it be that you know what the NG behavior is?"

Xu Tong: "No, I just burped."

Zhuang Jiasheng: "..."

Charles: "Idiot."
