One night.

A bit busy, but not too much.

When the sun rose high the next day, Chen Yu "unscathed" stepped out of his room, took the elevator, and headed to the top floor.

Perhaps it was the record-breaking high score from last night that earned him a certain status in the circle, quite a VIP. Both the assessment team and the "property management" of the Sky-reaching Tower didn't make things difficult for him.

He was only fined over three hundred thousand, verbally reprimanded a few times, and then they let the matter slide.

The only hiccup was that when he woke up in the morning, he found that his underwear was gone.

That was really annoying.

After searching for half an hour, turning the whole place upside down, and emptying his entire backpack, he still couldn't find it.

"It's really weird,"

"I didn't take off my clothes when I was sleeping."

Standing in the middle of the elevator, Chen Yu scratched his steel helmet in confusion. After pondering for a long time without a solution, he turned to the elevator girl beside him and asked, "Have you seen my underwear?"

The elevator girl: "..."

"Ding."

Minutes later, the elevator reached the 999th floor.

The stone doors on both sides slowly opened.

Chen Yu walked out with a slightly awkward gait, hands in his pockets.

No choice.

It was too swaying.

No matter if he put it in the left pant leg or the right, it felt awkward.

The 999th floor was a hall with the same floor area as the lobby on the first floor.

By now, quite a few people had gathered.

The sound of the elevator opening attracted the attention of the main examiner. Seeing it was Chen Yu, he immediately waved, "Student Chen Yu, come over here, we're about to draw lots."

Drawing near, Chen Yu observed the composition of the people here.

Most were media journalists and supervisory exam staff.

A small part were Transcendents participating in this session's assessment.

And, all were competitors who scored in the top twenty last night.

Eleven humans, nine from other races.

In today's arena fight, they (it) were the undisputed stars of the show, in the spotlight of millions.

As the champion of the field test and the historical first "scoring king," Chen Yu immediately attracted the attention of many journalists, who rushed towards him.

"Lord Chen!"

"Hello, Lord Chen. I'm the host from New Capital TV Station, may I have a moment for an interview?"

"Lord, concerning the feat of breaking the historical scoring record, is there anything you'd like to say?"

"Lord Chen, look this way! May we have an opportunity for an exclusive interview?"

"Lord Chen Yu! Hello..."

"I am your fan..."

Faced with the media who encircled him, Chen Yu was displeased, mumbling unclearly: "Mmm, mmm."

"Lord, what did you say?"

"Don't push..."

"Lord Chen Yu, look this way! May we have an opportunity for an exclusive interview?"

"We didn't catch what you said."

"Make way... Who shoved the microphone into Lord's mouth?"

"Smack."

Chen Yu slapped away a person's tightly gripped microphone, spit out the mic, and grimaced: "What are you doing?"

As he spoke, the crowd around him recoiled in fear.

The journalists on the outer circle even scattered in panic.

To offend a Transcendent, that was really too much...

"Pah. Tui."

Spitting out the fuzz that stuck in his mouth, Chen Yu looked around at the reporters and commanded loudly, "Men, step forward. Women, step back."

The journalists looked at each other confusedly.

The women hurriedly fled.

Leaving a circle of men who dared not move.

"Lord... it wasn't me who poked," said a trembling journalist.

"Nor me," said another, shaking his head firmly.

"I used my phone for the recording, look, I don't even have a microphone!" said a journalist proving his innocence.

"Nor do I, the microphone just now was knocked off by someone," revealed the author.

"Lord, look here! May we have an opportunity for an exclusive interview?" came from an unwise journalist.

Chen Yu threw away the long bar-shaped microphone in his hand and asked loudly, "Who among you has a spare pair of underwear? A new one."

The journalists were stunned, their faces blank.

"Whoever gives me a pair, I'll give him an exclusive interview," continued Chen Yu.

After a brief silence, the surrounding journalists excited suddenly, raising their hands.

"I've got one!"

"Me too, Lord!"

"I'll take them off for you right now."

"Lord Chen Yu, mine are lace..."

"Don't you guys understand? The Lord wants a new one!" A journalist with gold-rimmed glasses pushed through the crowd, raising his hand: "Lord, the pair I'm wearing is new. I just changed into them this morning."

Hearing this, Chen Yu wished he could pick up the microphone and slam it into the man's face.

But at that moment, he seemed to notice something out of the corner of his eye, walked dazedly through the crowd, and made his way to the outskirts of another group of people.

This group was surrounded by media journalists interviewing the long-haired man.

There in the center of the crowd, the long-haired man was speaking confidently. When Chen Yu approached, he merely nodded politely.

Chen Yu was shocked as he closely observed the "decoration" on the long-haired man's head as if struck by lightning, "That... isn't that my underwear?"

"Is there a problem?" the long-haired man glanced at Chen Yu.

"Isn't this a big problem?" Chen Yu asked.

"So, do you have a problem or not? Can't you see I'm very busy?"

"Why is my underwear on your head?" Chen Yu was flabbergasted, in disbelief.

"It's mine now," said the long-haired man impatiently, waving off Chen Yu and continuing his interview.

Chen Yu: "..."

At the same time.

Dozens of meters away.

The beautiful main examiner held a list, constantly checking the names of the candidates present and instructed her assistant, "There are three more candidates who haven't arrived, could you notify them? The drawing is about to start... Hold on, why are they fighting over there?"

The assistant turned to look and adjusted his glasses: "It seems like candidate Chen Yu and... Beautiful! What a nice uppercut!"
