The examiner sneered and said, "You don't need to worry about that!"
Click—
He snapped his fingers.
The door behind him opened, and eight mechanical creations were pushed out from inside. There was a seat in the middle of the mechanical creations, and above the seat was an inverted helmet, with a faint flash of electric current inside.
The examiner sneered, "This is the best mechanical device specially crafted by the top mechanical master in the City of Night for this stage of the test. As you just said, due to differences in race and body structure, each creature's pain tolerance varies greatly."
"But I didn't say that the pain would be applied to your bodies!"
"This machine can directly simulate the feeling of pain in your consciousness. As long as you are a creature with thinking ability and self-awareness, it can simulate it 100 percent accurately!"
Everyone was shocked.
This was a damnable machine.
The creature who invented this thing must die!
"Enough of the nonsense!" The examiner's gaze sharpened, and he sneered,
"Choose a machine and sit on it. We've divided the intensity of pain into 200 levels. Only when your pain tolerance reaches level 50 will you pass! In the end, we'll rank you, and the higher the ranking, the higher the score you'll get. It depends on you how many points you can get!"
He sneered and looked at the trainees cruelly.
"Of course, you should remember that the prerequisite for passing is that your consciousness remains clear. If you faint, crash, or die in the middle, it will all be invalidated!!"
"Time limit: 30 minutes! Start!"
With a loud shout.
All the trainees sat on their respective machines uneasily.
The iron buckles on their arms and legs instantly closed, and the helmets above their heads descended with a mechanical buzzing sound and covered their heads.
The No. 3 vampire beside Ryan turned his head uneasily and said,
"Hey! Good Doctor, you're a human, right? Humans should have the lowest pain tolerance. Aren't you afraid at all?"
Ryan took a breath, frowned, and shook his head, saying, "Afraid! Of course I'm afraid! I've been most afraid of pain since I was a kid!"
The vampire finally felt relieved in his heart. He secretly glanced at Ryan, and his heart gradually calmed down.
After all, he was human.
Although his skills seemed quite good, in terms of psychological quality, he definitely couldn't compare to the monsters in the Dark World.
It was estimated that he and the other two dark elves should have the worst pain tolerance here.
In that case.
No matter how bad the grades were, there were the three of them at the bottom, so he could feel at ease.
Then...
"Machine startup! 3! 2! 1! Start!"
With the examiner's loud shout.
Their machines started rumbling, and they could even clearly feel the rumbling vibration of the machines.
And in the next moment, a big number appeared above their heads.
[1]
This represented the most basic pain sensation.
Basically, no creature couldn't endure the pain at this stage.
And as time passed, this number would gradually increase, giving the trainees an adaptation process, which was somewhat like boiling a frog in warm water.
The examiner looked at them with a sneer and said,
"Of course, if you're not afraid, you can also adjust the level of pain by yourself. It can only go up, not down. Do you see the button in front of your left hand?"
"Just press it once, and the pain level will increase by one. Those who aren't afraid of death can directly raise the pain level to 60, and then you can pass directly!"
And just as he finished speaking.
Ding—Ding—Ding—
The two undead and the mechanical puppet immediately pressed the button in front of them.
And the two stitch monsters were not to be outdone and also continuously raised the pain level with a pattering sound.
"So competitive!"
The vampire exclaimed (ΩДΩ).
And soon, the two undead fixed the pain level at around 30. The soul fire in their eyes flickered, and it was obvious that the sudden pain also made them feel a bit strenuous.
And the mechanical puppet was even stronger.
It steadily pressed the button.
It didn't stop until it reached around 44, and then quickly dissipated the heat from its core.
And the two stitch monsters were also closely following at around 30.
Seeing those guys suddenly pull away from them, the two dark elves became anxious and also started pressing the button with a ding—ding—ding sound.
The pain level kept rising.
The vampire's eyes flickered. He secretly glanced at Ryan beside him, but saw that Ryan was sitting there with his eyes closed and his whole body relaxed, showing no intention of pressing the button at all.
Was he giving up?
Indeed.
For humans, pain tolerance was a congenital defect.
He really didn't need to be as competitive as the other guys, but he couldn't do that himself. Anyway, he must enter the top four.
With that.
She gritted her teeth and punched the button.
Ding—Ding—Ding—
Until level 10.
She could already clearly feel the pain in her consciousness, which was no less than the pain of cutting muscles, and it was even more painful than the pain when someone hit your body hard when you were unprepared!
But she could still endure it.
Ding—Ding—Ding—
At level 20.
She had already started panting heavily.
That kind of pain was like someone punching your testicles 200 times per second for boxing practice, and also a bit like the strange pain of giving birth to more than a dozen children in a row.
Ding—Ding—Ding—
Soon.
She reached the threshold of level 30.
(((;꒪ꈊ꒪;)))
God! God!
What kind of pain was this!
She felt like she was going to split open!
It seemed that every inch of her muscles was being sliced, as if someone was roasting her nerves on fire. It felt even more painful than being hit by a mental shock!
And finally.
At this time.
[No. 10 Dark Elf eliminated, pain tolerance level 37]
[No. 9 Dark Elf eliminated, pain tolerance level 40]
The two dark elves were foaming at the mouth, their eyes rolled back, and their whole bodies were twitching like they had epilepsy. They had already been knocked unconscious.
So competitive!
Sure enough! For normal creatures like humans and dark elves, that should already be the limit!
She gritted her teeth and looked at the other trainees.
No. 1 Mechanical Puppet: 55
No. 2 Undead: 52
No. 4 Human: 18
No. 7 Stitch Monster: 42
No. 8 Stitch Monster: 45
No. 5 Undead: 50
The mechanical puppet had stopped, but it didn't seem to be at its limit. The two undead were closely following behind, but they had obviously slowed down.
However, they had already passed, so they didn't need to be so competitive.
And she was the worst one except for the No. 4 human.
"No! I must speed up! Anyway, I must surpass those two stitch monsters!"
She gritted her teeth and reached out to press the button in front of her again.
...
The examiner stood in the distance, squinting his eyes and looking at the trainees, and then his gaze fell on Ryan with his eyes closed.
Was he going to give up this subject's assessment?
Indeed.
Compared with the other monsters, humans did have the worst pain tolerance.
Even with acquired training, it was difficult to compare with those born monsters.
But he still felt it was a pity.
With the surgical ability that No. 3 had shown, he really didn't want to just watch him get eliminated.
But rules were rules.
"All I can do is wish him good luck."
He looked at Ryan solemnly.
...
On the No. 4 machine.
Ryan was sitting there with his eyes closed. What no one noticed was that one of his fingers was gently tapping on the armrest like listening to music, obviously quite comfortable.
"Hey!"
Lefty's voice rang in his mind.
"Aren't you going to give up? It's only level 18 pain now. This isn't your limit. You used to cut yourself without even blinking before."
Ryan closed his eyes and said comfortably,
"No, I just think the pain at this level is very helpful for relaxing. It comes in waves, and I can't even locate where the pain is. It's kind of exciting~~"
Lefty (;OдO) said, "Well..."
Ryan closed his eyes and said (❁´◡`❁),"It's okay, it's okay. There's no need to be so competitive. What's the rush to rush up? Anyway, there are still ten minutes left."
Lefty said in surprise, "It seems that you don't feel much pain..."
Ryan raised his head wistfully, closed his eyes, and said comfortably, "Well, I used Flesh Catastrophic to do something to my brain. I added some... pleasure to the pain..."
