Chapter 1679: Chapter 71: Evaluation and Scoring

The teleportation is complete, and the familiar pale white walls come into view, making everyone feel a sense of surviving the calamity. This time, the game was as difficult as climbing to the heavens. If it weren’t for good luck and Tang Zheng’s group fighting hard enough, survival would’ve been impossible!

“Trojan, hurry up and heal!” Shen Qingshuang was seriously injured, the excruciating pain tormenting him so much that it made him want to end it all to escape the suffering.

The Silver Trojan didn’t intentionally delay the process. Soothing music played as it floated into midair, spinning gracefully.

“Congratulations to everyone for completing the mission and returning. Now we will begin healing your injuries!”

White beams of light shot out from the Trojan, enveloping each survivor, and their terrifying wounds visibly healed before their eyes.

“Uncle, quickly check—what exactly is this piece of equipment?” Lu Fan urged.

Everyone had long been accustomed to such miraculous sights, but Tang Zheng’s crown was drawing their intense curiosity.

“World Artifact—the Crown of Chaos?” Pang Meiqin scanned with her wristwatch and read the text displayed on the screen. But apart from those words, there was no further explanation. “That’s way too vague, isn’t it?”

“Silver, what’s going on here?” Lu Fan questioned.

“Tang Zheng, you’ve struck gold. This is a piece of unique equipment that even the Trojan hasn’t analyzed before,” Silver clicked its tongue in admiration. “As for its abilities, you’ll have to discover them yourself.”

“This crown… it’s for Tang Zheng, no objections, right?” Dantai clapped his hands and swept his gaze across the group.

“Tang Zheng contributed the most, so naturally, it’s his!” Dong Zixuan casually remarked, only to be met with a hostile glare from Yu Deye.

“Absolutely. Without Uncle, we’d all be dead,” Lu Fan nodded, casting Yu Deye a sidelong glance. “Do you have a problem with that?”

“Even if I wanted it, you wouldn’t give it to me!” Yu Deye grumbled unhappily, having gained almost nothing during this round.

“Let’s divide this up,” Tang Zheng handed the bloodied Sky Serpent King’s heart to Dantai. With his current physical condition, consuming it would barely make a difference.

“A great supplement. Eating a piece can increase physical stats tenfold, but unfortunately, it can only be used once!” Jiang Xiuming took a bite and instantly felt the augmentation in strength.

Li Huiwen and Fang Zhiwen stared longingly at the heart, but since they were the weakest, it would be their turn last. The heart was large, though, and wouldn’t be finished quickly.

“Alright, let’s tally the scores!” Mu Nianqi straightened her clothes. “We’ve been away for so long, I can’t even imagine what the present world looks like now.”

The group suddenly realized that, strictly speaking, they had been in the game since the Stone Age and had been away for over two months.

“Now, let’s begin scoring!” Images of everyone’s faces lit up on the screen, rotating rapidly until Fang Zhiwen’s enlarged portrait appeared.

“A white, rich, and beautiful woman, with no shortage of scheming and ruthlessness. In the workplace, you’d undoubtedly thrive, becoming a winner in life and eventually marrying into wealth, living a lavish high-society lifestyle envied by many. But alas, you entered the Trojan Horse Game, and your life entered the countdown. Score: 2,600 points. Reward: two Golden Seeds. Evaluation: C-Class.”

“Trojan, are you joking? At this rate, I’m sure I can survive till the end,” Fang Zhiwen tried to tease information out of Silver but got nothing.

“Hah, you think clinging to Tang Zheng’s thigh means you’ll survive? So naive. He can barely take care of himself,” Trojan Snake mocked venomously, “Next.”

“Xie Yundan. A complete waste. Besides having insanely good luck, you’re good for nothing. Your death is approaching—make preparations. Score: 1,800 points. Reward: two Golden Seeds. Evaluation: C-Class.”

“You gave me two Golden Seeds. Isn’t that a testament to my abilities?” Fang Zhiwen was unwilling to give up, continuing to argue with the Trojan.

“Shut up, or I’ll start deducting points.” Silver’s tone turned sharp. “As for the rewards, there’s no mistake, and you’ll understand why soon.”

Silver’s words made Xie Yundan’s initial happiness over her decent score vanish, leaving her looking to her companions in dismay.

“Stay calm,” Tang Zheng signaled for everyone to keep their cool.

“Shen Qingshuang. To have survived this far, even I have to admire you. Your IQ is far above that of ordinary people. However, this very rationality prevents you from breaking through your limits. With your current abilities, you’re no longer suited for the Trojan Horse Game. Prepare for your eventual demise. Score: 3,100 points. Reward: two Golden Seeds. Evaluation: C-Class.”

Shen Qingshuang frowned. He wasn’t someone overly curious by nature. If it weren’t for insufficient points, he would’ve left the Trojan Room long ago.

“What a waste. If I’d known I’d get the heart, I would’ve saved my earlier points.” Shen Qingshuang regretted deeply before quickly analyzing his strengths and weaknesses, thinking of ways to mitigate risks.

“Policewoman. Your moral obsession truly makes me want to admire you from the bottom of my heart, and I sincerely wish there were more people like you in reality. But unfortunately, this isn’t a utopian society, nor is it a world governed by the common good. Score: 4,200 points. Reward: two Golden Seeds. Evaluation: B-Class.”

The Silver Trojan uncharacteristically refrained from mocking Dong Zixuan, but this unusual kindness only made the rest feel even more unsettled.

“Li Renqi. The person who treated you the best in this world has died. How does that feel? But judging by your expression, it’s clear that after your initial grief, you haven’t had any profound transformation. I’ve seen too many people like you—cold-hearted, selfish—so I won’t bother caring. Let me just say, the miserable fool who married you had terrible luck. Score: 1,800 points. Reward: two Golden Seeds. Evaluation: C-Class.”
