No Improper Relationships Allowed

"You'll be assigned according to your preferences" was the biggest lie Yun Fei heard after the first-ever full-dive game beta tester exam.

Yun Fei lights a cigarette with a world-weary look. "They all said they'd accept whatever assignment they got. That was the one time I chose to trust people."

So, despite ranking first and being terrified of ghosts, he was assigned to the paranormal division of the full-dive game, becoming the department head's sole beta tester.

After three grueling years, Yun Fei had accomplished nothing. Many beta testers who joined at the same time, or even later than him, had been promoted to examiners and proctors. He was the only one still stuck in place for failing to meet his performance targets. One day, a woman in red scared him into cardiac arrest; the next, a Qing dynasty zombie chased him until his eyes rolled back.

When headquarters opened applications to transfer between divisions, Yun Fei ignored his department head's pleas and resolutely signed up for the transfer assessment! Then he discovered that he wasn't just afraid of ghosts, he was also unlucky. How the hell had he drawn nothing but 3S exam chambers?!

Fine, fine. Don't blame him for going crazy, then.

[Exam Rules:

1. Candidates must bring their Admission Ticket and Exam Notice and arrive at the designated location at the specified time to take each exam.

2. Bringing any items not permitted in the exam chamber is strictly prohibited. Candidates may not pass items to one another inside the chamber.

3. Candidates are strictly prohibited from asking proctors questions about the exam content while inside the chamber. For other questions, speak to a proctor outside exam hours.

4. The final score is determined by the exam result and the head examiner's score, each weighted at 50%.]

After the assessment ended, two more rules were added specifically for Yun Fei:

5. Candidates are strictly prohibited from developing an improper relationship with the head examiner or proctors of an exam chamber.

6. Anyone other than the candidate is strictly prohibited from interfering with the candidate's exam, willingly or otherwise, or disrupting order in the chamber.

7. If rules five or six are violated, the candidate's score will be voided.

All candidates and exam staff have the responsibility and duty to report violations.

Yun Fei shrugs. He only accidentally ripped someone else's umbrella to shreds.

All he did was make up a love story for the characters in each exam chamber. It just so happened that those love stories were unforgettable, that the characters he'd tricked were all head examiners, and that the head examiner in every chamber he drew was the same person. He really didn't do it on purpose!

The proctor is at a loss for words, but has no choice but to nod and confirm that Yun Fei is right.

This candidate's achievements include, but aren't limited to:

Going berserk in an ancient court-intrigue exam chamber and helping a sidelined prince ascend the throne; playing a rabid dog in a conquest exam chamber, biting everyone in sight and dragging a regional overlord back to his den... And later, even in the paranormal exam chamber where he was supposed to be defeated, this candidate went on a rampage and moved the paranormal BOSS so much that he was willing to "pour out his heart" for him.

That's right: the sidelined prince, the regional overlord, and the paranormal BOSS were all characters in the exam chambers, and all were head examiners.

Headquarters sends the proctor a friendly inquiry: Are you saying that every time he goes berserk, the carefully selected exam characters fall in love with him?

The proctor nods weakly.

Yun Fei: After three years in the paranormal division, who wouldn't go crazy?

Take him, for example. He went crazy and, after passing the transfer assessment, didn't transfer at all. Instead, he stayed in the paranormal division, shamelessly becoming the head examiner who terrifies all the other candidates trying to transfer, directly lowering the department's transfer assessment pass rate by several percentage points.

The candidates who were furious with Yun Fei but didn't dare say so complained about him countless times in private, and also made sure to complain about the lovesick head examiner he'd hooked.

The lovesick head examiner, Su Wei, is writing a self-criticism: We're true love, thank you.
