Transmigrated into a villain, I personally tore apart the shackles of fate.

Chapter 136 Encountering Signal Interference Again

"It seems some students have successfully cleared the dungeon and completed the exam," remarked a distinguished guest in a sharp suit, exclaiming with an air of exceptional poise.

As the practical tests in the dungeon continued, some students had successfully completed them and finished their exams.

"Check the names of the first batch of students to complete the exam in each dungeon." The VIPs ordered their assistants to ensure everything was ready. "I don't want any mistakes."

All the students who completed the exam demonstrated their talent and ability.

Observers and VIPs watched the students' performances via live stream and discussed them, offering their opinions on the more famous students.

“Victor Black… just as expected… he has dominated high-level dungeons with his superior strategy and strength. Without a doubt, he is a genius.”

“Indeed, Victor is a force to be reckoned with. The Black family has never disappointed.”

"However, the Middleton twins are no less impressive. Lucas and Julia proved their abilities with outstanding teamwork and adaptability, and their synergy was impeccable."

But even among VIPs, there are significant differences. Some have special private rooms, while others do not.

"What do you think, clan chief?"

In a room filled with luxurious services, a man sits watching a screen.

“Not bad.” The man’s chestnut hair fell to his shoulders, his cold gaze fixed on the screen, where a student was walking alone.

Behind him lay a mountain of corpses.

"..." The butler behind him didn't speak, but he knew that even the word "not bad" coming from this man's mouth was a compliment.

His position and his temperament... all of this transformed him into someone who no longer expressed exaggerated emotions. Sitting at the pinnacle of the world,

"Any progress on the investigation into Caesar?" the man asked again, his tone flat.

"We have used all our resources, but we still haven't made any progress."

Tap! Tap!

His gaze remained fixed on the screen, his fingers lightly tapping the armrest of the chair.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, he stood up abruptly.

“Keep an eye on that woman and make sure she doesn’t do anything stupid.”

“Understood, Patriarch.” The butler immediately bowed and prepared a coat and suit for the man.

"And strengthen security around Victor and Jane, as they could also become targets."

After saying this, the man walked out of the room, his expression unchanged.

However, the butler who had served this man for many years knew.

His special treatment of Victor was already a sign that he had made a decision.

This means that Victor's future path is destined to be full of challenges.

The butler turned to look at the screen again, his gaze fixed on the young man walking by.

'Young Master... I hope you won't break down.'

This was his last wish.

......

For most guilds and cooperative organizations that hold higher positions within the structure of the Valerian Commonwealth, midterm exams are a place to discover talent.

They will compete for high-ranking students who have excellent performance and relatively favorable backgrounds.

However, not every VIP has such a status.

Some people barely qualify to enter here, but they don't have enough strength to compete with the big shots.

This is what it's like for those watching the lower-ranked students, the young entrepreneurs in the VIP room.

“Lack Whitehorse?” Contact him after the midterms. “Check this swordsman’s background. If possible, offer him a contract immediately.”

Conversations filled the air, phones rang incessantly, and young entrepreneurs were busy recruiting talent for their companies.

However, some people trust their own judgment and are not in a hurry to snatch up those dazzling, high-ranking students, but instead look for those overlooked potential talents.

These individuals often discover hidden gems behind the glittering performances of high-ranking students. Although the chances are slim, once discovered, they can save significant amounts of money and manpower.

This was exactly the case with the young woman. She was intently watching the monitor screen showing the students' progress.

She was holding a notebook with some names written on it.

At the very top is written a name: Morse Scott.

She was eager to see how he performed in low-level dungeons.

However, just as Morse was about to face a group of monsters, the screen suddenly went black.

She frowned in confusion, glancing quickly at her assistant. "What just happened? Why did the screen go black?"

The assistant hurriedly checked the technical equipment and pressed a button to try to restore the screen. However, nothing changed, and the assistant confirmed that the equipment was working properly.

“I’m not sure, ma’am. It seems to be a problem with the broadcasting room, related to the signal.”

"Signal?"

Upon hearing her assistant's words, the woman paused for a second, then glanced at the other screens.

Everything was normal except for the one she was watching.

"Contact the college and ask them to resolve this issue as soon as possible."

"Understood, ma'am. I'll take care of it right away."

......

Inside the control room of the Arcadia Hunter Academy, staff members were intently monitoring the live feeds from cameras throughout the dungeon. Ensuring the safety and performance of the students during the practical tests was their top priority.

Just as they were focused on the screen, a staff member received a message on their computer from a VIP. Those demanding privileged individuals always had a host of annoying requests.

"What are they trying to do now?" a staff member muttered.

"Another VIP?" a colleague asked.

"Yes."

"Sigh...they're probably going to complain about the video quality again...do they think this is a movie?" The colleague sighed, recalling a scene where a rich kid had caused trouble here.

However, when they read the message carefully, they frowned: "Camera signal failure report for Dungeon [B-3], camera code D-LR37."

Staff quickly checked the connection and found that the screen showed the camera was turned off.

He turned to his colleague: "The camera in dungeon [B-3] code D-LR37 is malfunctioning; the signal is interrupted."

The colleague responsible for camera maintenance sighed and immediately began troubleshooting. "Okay, let's check the connection and see if we can restore it."

The control room staff knew the camera problem had to be resolved immediately to ensure the smooth conduct of the practical test and the safety of the students. Recent events had brought the person in charge to the brink of collapse, and now all eyes were on them.

The Valerian Federation even attempted to use the recent events to put pressure on the Academy.

"Somewhat something is wrong."

When the camera maintenance experts and their colleagues began investigating the camera signal problem in the dungeon [B-3], they quickly discovered that the signal was being interfered with.

"The signal is being jammed."

This situation is strikingly similar to what they encountered during their recent joint dungeon training, an incident that nearly led to the closure of the Academy.

"what?"

As the discovery deepened, the atmosphere in the room grew tense. The joint dungeon training exercise, previously hampered by mysterious signal interruptions, was now experiencing a similar situation during the midterm practical exam.

"This feels familiar," a control room worker said uneasily. "We encountered a similar signal outage during joint training exercises, which was followed by an attack. Could it be a technical issue?"

"That's impossible. We checked every piece of equipment before the test started to make sure everything was working properly."

"Then it's very likely that someone is deliberately interfering with the signal."

The anxiety in the control room grew stronger, and everyone considered the possible consequences. The team leader took immediate action.

"Check if anyone is nearby and contact the dungeon guards. Dispatch healers and mentors immediately. We can't wait."

Intentionally interfering with camera signals is a serious problem that could not only endanger student safety but also affect the fairness of exams.

The person in charge hopes it's just a technical glitch, but if there's a real problem, his career will be in jeopardy.

"Understood, sir."

A staff member immediately contacted the therapy team.

"Sir! A student's watch has stopped working, and we are unable to obtain any data."

"Who is it?" the person in charge asked anxiously.

“Morse Scott, sir.”

The control room team leader turned to the staff member who had reported the Morse watch malfunction. "When was the last time you received data from his watch?"

The staff knew they had to act quickly to identify the signal interference and ensure the safety of all students.

The staff checked the record and replied, "About two minutes ago, sir."

"Two minutes."

The person in charge was deep in thought. This could endanger a student's life, especially one of the weakest. Looking at the student's information on the screen, he realized the seriousness of the problem.

Sending a team immediately was the right choice.

The person in charge then asked, "Have any other students reported their watches malfunctioning?"

The staff member shook his head. "No, sir, so far, only Morse Scott's watch has had a problem."

The person in charge nodded, lost in thought. The situation was becoming increasingly strange; they needed to figure out what was happening to Morse's equipment and the interference with the camera signals from the underground city [B-3].

'I hope nothing happens...'

The man silently prayed for the students while staring at the black screen...
