Chapter 35 Classic Movie Appreciation (Part 9)
"Depend on!"
The moment the prompt sounded, even Zhang You couldn't help but curse.
Every time when they think they have finally passed the test, new and surprising operations always pop up in the exam, testing people's psychological defenses again and again.
It’s bad enough that the review has to be graded after being written, but what’s the point of asking “all the students in Class 1, Grade 3” to grade the review?
Aren’t all the students in this class the ghosts on the death list in the movie, including characters like Wang Peng and Feng Wan?
Thinking about being chased by ghosts from the other world, and the feuds with several of the main ghosts ... an ominous premonition came to people's minds.
Zhang You thought about it and comforted him, " It should n't be a big deal... I remember the exam requirements only said that you need to complete at least four reviews, but it didn't say what score you have to get!"
Tang Xin Jue also nodded in affirmation, giving his roommate a shot of reassurance: "Yes, according to the exam rules, the assessment of this movie has ended since I finished writing my review."
The following part is just an additional process, so no matter how high or low your score is, it will not affect the result of passing the level.
The tense atmosphere finally eased. A few seconds later, almost as the four people finished their discussion, a prompt sounded:
[The review rating has been completed! The final score of your review is: 65 points (out of 100)]
"Wow!" Guo Guo was quite surprised.
Not only her, this score was higher than almost everyone expected - at least if we consider the full score of 100, it was even passing.
Given the natural malice of ghosts towards test takers, it is already a very touching thing that they can give a passing score.
Zhang You guessed: "Maybe it was the Heart Technique that killed Zhao Mingtao, or maybe we made other main characters suffer?"
After all, for the other students who died, these main characters were more or less the culprits, and almost directly led to the annihilation of Class 3-1.
It is even possible that this group of "students" really agree with the views of the review of Tang Xin Jue, or gave random scores, etc. In short, the scores have been released and there is no way to find out the reasons.
The exam rules apparently also consider this score to be high:
[Congratulations to the candidate, you received a "pass" rating and became the first person to pass the film assessment test! You can get the reward: ...]
The light flashed through the air, but before the prize appeared, it suddenly stopped in place along with the prompt sound.
Under the light, Li Xiaoyu put down his hand with a smile, tilted his head and looked at everyone: "This prize will be confiscated for the time being."
"???"
Zhang You: “Why?”
Zheng Wanqing: "Why?"
Guo Guo held the pendant and swallowed.
Tang Xinjue looked directly at Li Xiaoyu, whose smile was fake, and his expression showed no emotion.
Seeing the reactions of several people, Li Xiaoyu's smile widened, almost laughing to the point of falling over, and he laughed for a long time before stopping, narrowing his long and narrow eyes into a line:
"I didn't want to give it to you, so I confiscated it."
Guo Guo: "This is the reward given to us by the exam rules... You, you want to break the rules?"
"So, what do you want to do?" Li Xiaoyu blinked and emphasized: "Are you going to report it?"
Raising his eyelashes, Tang Xinjue looked at the other person coldly.
The others were also speechless for a moment, and the air fell into silence.
They reported to the game, and it was clearly about the last exam. How did Li Xiaoyu know about it?
A look of satisfaction appeared on Li Xiaoyu's face. She seemed to enjoy seeing other people's doubts and fears. Unfortunately, this expression almost never appeared on Tang Xinjue's face. She just stood there calmly. Her body was thinner than Li Xiaoyu's, but straight and relaxed.
After looking at Li Xiaoyu for two seconds, Tang Xinjue spoke to the air without hesitation: "We have completed the film assessment and now want to return to reality."
After receiving the request, the stalled rules start running again:
[Candidate signal received...Connecting...Loading...]
A sense of detachment surged forward, and Li Xiaoyu's exaggerated laughter entered everyone's ears:
"Do you think you really won?"
"You relied on the exam rules to reduce the difficulty, avoided enemies whose strength was deliberately suppressed to be almost as weak as yours, and survived in a C-level copy that was not challenging at all. Do you think you have achieved a real victory?"
"Keep growing. In this place full of treacherous things and malicious things, when you have enough strength and have to face it, we will be waiting for you there..."
The pictures and scenes began to fade away, and in the chaos, Li Xiaoyu continued to hum the song.
“We are all the same”
“Everyone is the same”
"Welcome to us"
"Understanding everything we do—"
"We are the harmonious and friendly Class 3-1~"
…
This time, as soon as consciousness returned, several people acted quickly.
Tang Xinjue quickly turned off the video that was about to play automatically and continuously. Zhang You checked whether he was okay. Zheng Wanqing rushed back to his seat to drink water, and Guo Guo ran to the bathroom and started vomiting.
[Mental damage: Health value 30]
[Negative Buff: Your health value will continue to decrease for a period of time]
All of them had this negative buff, with Guo Guo having the worst buff and Tang Xin Jue having the lightest. However, their health bars also fell within the yellow line.
"Fortunately, the physical damage sustained in the movie instance will not persist after clearing the instance."
After confirming that he was safe, Zhang You heaved a sigh of relief. Being killed in a dungeon was really a psychological trauma.
Tang Xin Jue checked the rest of the movie and nodded, "This should be the simplicity of the C-level copy."
If it is a B-level or even A-level copy, it may not be easy to resurrect after dying in the movie plot.
After a short break, they ate something to regain their energy and summarized the experience of the first movie.
Fortunately, there was no overall time limit for this exam, so they had enough time and didn't have to rush to watch the next one.
"First of all, the movie quiz is very difficult, and there are almost no clues in the film."
Tang Xin Jue wrote down the first one.
For this step, they can only rely on guesswork, with a one in a few chance of hitting the target. If they are unlucky, they will be forced to "watch the replay."
"Unfortunately, my pendant doesn't work with the option." Guo Guo pulled his hair in distress.
"Replaying this step, judging from the first step of the movie, is likely to allow us to enter the movie world and observe the plot from the perspective of the characters. And as the plot ends, the Q&A session will immediately start again."
Tang Xin Jue drew a bold red exclamation mark: "We must answer this question correctly."
This is the bottom line that can ensure no casualties among all personnel and the highest possibility of passing the level.
In addition, in the process of replaying the movie, there will inevitably be various obstacles and dangers, especially when the four people are separated, they can only rely on their individual strength to deal with the moves.
"The last step is the review. Once you successfully complete it, you can safely end the instance."
After finishing the summary, Tang Xin Jue said, "The last part can be handed over to Zhang You and me."
She can ensure stable writing in dangerous situations, while Zhang You can provide some additional ideas.
When she is unable to make a question-and-answer selection due to force majeure, the right of selection will be transferred to Zhang You.
Zheng Wanqing raised her hand and asked, "If Zhang You can't choose, who will answer between me and Guo Guo?"
Guo Guo: "Miss, if that time comes, we shouldn't embarrass each other like this. Wouldn't it be better to just lie down and wait for death?"
Before the two started arguing about the order of selection, Zhang You promptly blocked their mouths with a biscuit. When he turned around, Tang Xinjue had already turned on the computer.
"It's 6pm now, and we still have enough energy to finish a movie."
As the mouse moved, the expressions of the four people became serious.
Which one should I choose?
Zheng Wanqing suddenly spoke up: "Based on my previous experience of watching horror movies, the second part of the same series is often more difficult than the first."
Because the audience has often already seen the elements and routines of the first film, the director will increase the difficulty or even make some magical changes.
"What the young lady said makes sense." Guo Guo nodded. "And there is a high probability that the information in the first and second parts is interconnected. If you know the plot of one part, it may be easier to watch the second part."
After discussion, everyone reached a consensus: choose the first part of a series to watch.
This narrows their choices down to two movies:
Is it "Headless Ghost Story 1" or "Village Ghost 1"?
