CH 147.1

Principal Wang himself didn’t know that in just a few minutes, the chat messages dissing him would be compiled into a collection.

In addition to Principal Wang, the teachers in the school did not have free time to watch the livestream of the examination room.

The school was very busy these days.

Principal Wang was so busy that his feet practically never touched the ground, and his anxiety caused his hair to fall out.

In the past, the frequency of new students coming to the villain school was not high, approximately one every two weeks or so. But after Lin Xinghe arrogantly promoted the theory of novels in the apocalyptic examination room, the candidates in other examination rooms followed suit, and more and more NPCs awakened.

The system had to deal with a large number of awakened NPCs every day—erase one’s memories, send it to a new exam room, have the NPC inevitably fail, erase its memory again and send it to the villain school.

These days, the teachers in the school receive new students every day.

In just a few days, the villain school ushered in hundreds of freshmen.

Principal Wang received information from the system every hour——

Host, please come over as soon as possible, Initial Person Number XXXX has been detected to exhibit irreversible initial awakening. The system recommends that the host open the villain school mode.

Because of the arrival of hundreds of people, the teachers were in a hurry. As a last resort, they worked daily overtime. Finally, they jointly signed a protest and asked Principal Wang to hire more teachers and staff.

After all, these teachers proctored exams in addition to teaching students.

Hundreds of freshmen meant hundreds of new exam rooms, on top of the voluntary and competitive exam rooms and the monthly exam rooms for the rest of the candidates. The teachers didn’t even have time to stop and drink water, and because the novel inventory was running out, the exam rooms were recycled. Without the special instructions of Principal Wang, they could only rack their brains to set some partial exam questions from a repeated novel world so that the students could not relate the new rooms to the previous ones they had experienced.

The emergence of a large number of examination rooms required a large number of proctors. The school’s teacher shortage was severe, so many teachers had multiple jobs and had to proctor more than a dozen examination rooms at the same time. After one exam was over, there would be the next dozen or so waiting for them, and if it weren’t for the physical strength potions, they might have collapsed and died of exhaustion.

That was why the teachers joined together to protest.

Principal Wang just finished dealing with an awakened character and returned to the principal’s office. He was about to take a breather when he saw the protest documents asking him to hire more teachers.

Principal Wang was already very anxious, but now seeing the joint protests of the teachers, he was even more miffed.

He threw the protest letter on his desk and said angrily, “I’m tired of just this workload! Why don’t I say I’m tired? When I’m tired, I drink stamina potions! ”

Principal Wang really didn’t have time to hire more teachers now, and the hundreds of new students were driving him up the wall.

Principal Wang rejected the joint protest.

At this time, the system sent him another message, “Host, Initial Person Number 0028 has exhibited irreversible initial awakening, and it is recommended that the host open the villain school mode. In addition, I need to deal with a lot of awakened individuals and cannot support too many examination rooms at the same time. It is recommended that the host stop all exams that have not yet started and close a small section of the exam rooms, otherwise the novel world will be affected, and the following phenomena may occur: exam room freezes, NPC characters confusing memories, NPC characters acting out of character, etc. However, the Dark Star region’s fictional world will be affected, as will your industry on RH18. Please make a decision within forty-five minutes.”

Principal Wang’s mood suddenly hit rock bottom.

If he stopped all exams and closed some exam rooms, he would lose over 100 million in income at the very least.

Principal Wang gritted his teeth and asked, “Is there any other way?”

System: “Yes.”

Principal Wang: “What can I do?”

System: “Upgrade.”

Principal Wang always felt that the damn system was mocking him.

The system of the novel world was not his creation—he only stumbled upon it when it was already initialized, and the owner was nowhere to be found. He entered the system center with his own technology and successfully bound the system to himself.

After binding with it, he gradually realized that this was a system created by a genius, perhaps even from a higher plane than his own.

He used it as his own and gradually gained the fame and fortune he has today.

However, because he was not the creator, he could not upgrade the system. Now that he overclocked the system to its breaking point, it would collapse after another overclock.

System: “There are still forty minutes remaining. Please make a decision as soon as possible, host. Once the novel world collapses, you will be unable to bear the consequences.”

Principal Wang knew how to weigh his pros and cons, and at this moment, he could only choose to accept it.

He said sadly, “Stop all the exam rooms that have not yet opened, as for some of the exam rooms that have already started…”

System: “I have already ranked the exam rooms according to their popularity in the Dark Star Region. The ones at the bottom are unpopular exam rooms, with few viewers from the Dark Star Region. From a profit perspective, it is recommended that the host close the unpopular exam rooms. But from a precautionary perspective, it is recommended that the host close the competitive examination room where Lin Xinghe is located. Although this examination room is the most profitable to the host, a number of severely awakened characters have been detected in it.”

He hated Lin Xinghe like never before at this time.

A trivial initial character reduced him to today’s situation!
