Second Day of Examinations

5:00 AM

Central Base Camp's Inn

"*Yawns*, that was a good sleep." (Sai)

"Recalling what happened yesterday, the examinations started at 00:00. I also executed my plan at the same time. I finished at 17:39. I returned to Central Base Camp at 17:50 and lodge in the inn. I took a bath at 18:05 and finished at 19:00. I finished eating dinner at 19:35 and went to sleep at 20:00. And, by looking at the time when I woke up, umu, nine hours of sleep. No wonder I feel so refreshed." (Sai)

Sai currently wears gray pajamas. He looks at the mirror, and he sees a "man" that have waist-long raven black hair with blue eyes. His frame lacks masculinity, no, using the word "lacking" is an understatement. He has smooth, tender, and translucent skin, a body that lacks muscles a man should possess. It's not a stranger's fault if they mistook Sai's gender.

"This makes me remember the time when I introduced myself to a certain subordinate of mine. That time, I was confused when she called me 'ojou-sama'. When I asked her why did she know that I'm a woman, her response is: 'Ojou-sama doesn't have an Adam's Apple. Her body frame, fragrance, and voice can be concluded as feminine'. When I asked my other subordinates, they said the same response as her. And when I asked why no told me about it, they said that they were sure that I'm a woman. It really took a while for them to accept my gender." (Sai)

"I should stop here before I forgot what I'm about to do. Hmmm, I guess Flashbacks comes first." (Sai)

Five Minutes Before the Examination Starts

[Blessings to the Examinees: Grants 4x on EXP and Proficiency gained during Examination.]

[Good Luck to Examinees: Grants a 50% boost on LUCK during the Examination.]

[Beta Tester's Privilege: Grants an additional 5 stat points and 2 skill points after a level up. Effective only during Examination period.]

"Beta Tester's Privilege? System Terminal, does this mean that Self-proclaimed Onee-chan's batch of Examinee is the first to undergo the Examination and to use the System Terminals? And only our Examination will be conducted before the other nine?" (Sai)

{Affirmative, host.}

"Lab rats, huh. High risk, high rewards, huh. As long as the labor is rewarded properly, I have no complaints." (Sai)

"Oh, this feels like using a touch-screen smartphone, but a holographic one. Interesting. I wonder if I can replicate this with technology? It is worth researching it." (Sai)

He saw the contents of the mail. Curious about the two items, he tapped the receive button and went to the inventory to examine their descriptions.

[Examination Gift: Contains 50 HP Restoration Potions (King), 50 MP Restoration Potions (King), 50 QI Restoration Potion (King), 10 Teleportation Crystals, 10,000,000,000 Quantum Particles, and 90 Saint Quartz.] (Required Level to Open: Level 01)

[Beta Testing Package: Contains 1 Unregistered Spirit Origin, 10 Rare Prisms, 150 Saint Quartz, 10 Summoning Tickets, 10 Random Skill Scroll, 10 Skill Rank-up Scrolls, 1 Enchant Chisel, 30 Enhancement Stones, and 10 Random Enchant Jewels.] (Required Level to Open: Level 01)

"The one who give these gifts are way too generous." (Sai)

(From what Self-proclaimed Onee-chan said, the gods proposed this examination to the Manager, and they're looking for personnel with potential to raise. My batch is the lab rat. The reason for this is probably the testing of Pseudo Reincarnation. The Soul is a very delicate thing, assuming that it is the same as the brain. They can't risk the good seedlings for an uncertain experiment. My batch is probably the bad seeds, since they can afford to use them as lab rats. But the beta test is not over even if Pseudo Reincarnation succeeded. What's next is these gifts. They gave these to the examinees and have them use it to see what will happen. Indeed, this is a Beta Test) (Sai)

All of a sudden, Sai's expression went from pondering, to realization, and finally to a smile.

"Then, what will happen to the Blessings and Gifts if an Examinee dies?" (Sai)

"End of flashback." (Sai)

"It appears that my theory is correct, that 'if an examinee dies, everything they possess will be treated as dropped loots'. If this is a regular game, then this is a Bug. A Bug in the possession of items. Normally, if a player dies the items in his inventory, mail, and equipment should not drop since they are possession of the player. This Bug treats the item possession of the Players and Monsters the same. You give Monsters items for the purpose of having the Players get the item the Monsters possess when they die." (Sai)

"Wait a minute, the situation is not much different. The examinees I killed, are a little smarter than monsters in the games that I played." (Sai)

"Well, there are things that I learned after I executed the plan. I can just ask that Self-proclaimed Onee-chan about the suspicious thing. What matters now is the loot, my fruits of labor and the proof of my valor." (Sai)

He controlled the system terminal's interface to inspect his inventory. And his gains are more than he expected.

[Inventory:

Examinations Gift 10,000x

Beta Testing Package 10,000x

Algorithm Core 10,000x

Information Core 10,000x

Functions 10,000x]

"The loots are here as expected. But, what's with the last three items? If I remember correctly, these are the ones in the system terminal setup. System Terminal, what's the use of these items?" (Sai)

{The Algorithm Core, Information Core, and Function that the host possess can be used to upgrade the System Terminal.}

"So, the more I use, the better the upgrade?" (Sai)

{Yes, host.}

"When will the upgrade will be finished if you start now?" (Sai)

{The upgrade will be done tomorrow midnight.}

"Start the upgrade now." (Sai)

{Affirmative, host.}

"I'm looking forward to the results. Since the upgrade will be finished tomorrow, I will just laze around to pass time." (Sai)

To pass time, Sai's routine is to sleep, take a bath, and eat. He continued this routine until the midnight of the Third Day.
