Although Ryan Brooks didn’t know how many players would ultimately complete the medium-difficulty trial and obtain a new body, considering that Grace Bennett cleared it on the very first day, the difficulty of this trial could at most be considered moderate.
Even if others have less talent, given five days, ten days, or even twenty days, they should still be able to complete the trial.
Unless the trial instance gets shut down halfway through.
Judging from the current situation, in another two days, there will definitely be quite a few players who complete the medium-difficulty trial. By then, even if only one out of every ten people transforms like Grace Bennett, the news will basically be known worldwide.
After breakfast, Grace Bennett slung her bag over her shoulder: “I’m off to my internship. I should be back early tonight. Remember to wash the dishes.”
While tidying up the dishes, William Carter said, “I have to go tutor tonight.”
“Oh right, you said your tutoring was moved to tonight.” Grace Bennett flipped her hair nonchalantly and opened the door, “That’s perfect, I’ll make braised ribs for myself tonight.”
William Carter: “”
Washing dishes, cleaning the table.
After finishing everything, William Carter glanced at the time—it wasn’t even 8 o’clock yet.
He stretched a bit, then habitually took out his phone to scroll through his Moments.
He found that Moments seemed to have exploded, with a short video going viral.
William Carter clicked on it and saw that it was a video taken at the school basketball court, apparently from around 6 a.m.
A student in athletic shorts and a tank top was showing off his basketball skills on the court, and someone had recorded it. The video was being shared like crazy.
Honestly, everyone was up pretty early—posting on Moments at seven-something. This really doesn’t look like a college student’s schedule.
Ryan Brooks watched the basketball skills in the video and couldn’t help but gasp—this was terrifying.
Dribbling, running, shooting, dunking—all the moves were done in one smooth motion. The moves weren’t just cool; the key was the speed.
This guy looked like a blur when dribbling, and his jumping height was insane. He was clearly not even 1.8 meters tall, yet he could dunk with ease.
It was obvious he was holding back, probably worried about breaking the backboard and having to pay for it.
He was also testing the limits of his new body. Although his basketball skills were great, it was clear that with his overall increase in strength and speed, he hadn’t fully adapted his original skills yet.
But even so, it was already extremely impressive.
There were all kinds of likes in Moments, and a ton of people were commenting.
“Whoa, isn’t this the guy from the math department who’s really good at basketball? What’s his name again? Haven’t seen him in a few days and his muscles have grown so fast! And what’s with that speed?”
“This is the reward for completing the medium-difficulty trial. He chose the athlete identity—look at his clothes.”
“Damn, is it really this OP? Next week’s basketball game is us against the math department. How are we supposed to play? Even if the five of us tie ourselves together, we probably couldn’t stop him.”
“All I can say is, you’d better hurry up and clear the medium-difficulty trial while you still can. In this situation, it looks like the only way to fight fire is with fire.”
Clearly, this guy, like Grace Bennett, was also one of those highly talented players.
However, he probably succeeded in clearing the medium-difficulty trial only after working hard all night and finally making it through in the morning.
William Carter could imagine the scene: several dorm buildings, everyone lying in bed doing the trial, and in the blink of an eye, it was the next day.
It’s chaos, total chaos.
And everyone had also figured out how to identify those who had completed the trial. Besides using clothing, there was another key feature: the ring on the temple.
After transforming into the character’s body from the trial, the ring on the temple disappeared.
It didn’t actually vanish, but was more like hidden. In short, if you saw someone without a ring on their temple, it definitely meant they had cleared the medium-difficulty trial and were using their new body.
If they were using their real-world body, the ring would still be there.
The emergence of the first batch of genius players further fueled everyone’s competitive spirit. Many people were even zoning out during class, continuing their trials, all eager to get their new bodies as soon as possible.
After all, players who cleared the trial and those who hadn’t were practically two different species.
There was a lot of discussion about this in William Carter’s class group chat. It was easy to imagine that, aside from William Carter’s school, people from all walks of life and all over the world were probably having similar discussions at the same time.
William Carter didn’t pay much attention to these changes. For him, the most important thing was to focus on clearing his own trial.
If the whole world really was going to be turned upside down because of this, then the stronger you were, the more of an advantage you’d have.
Just like in school, instead of always worrying about other people’s test scores after every exam, it’s better to spend that time and energy fixing your own mistakes.
He closed his eyes, opened them again, and it was afternoon.
William Carter stood up and stretched, noticing that the afternoon Moments was different from the morning—there were a lot more cries of misery and wailing.
“This trial is too hard! Are you people who cleared the medium-difficulty trial even human?”
“This is the first time I’ve found playing a game so painful. I’m about to give up—someone comfort me, please. Damn, stop liking my post. If you like it again, I’ll block you.”
