Online Game: You Call Him A Newbie?

Outside the assessment area, almost everyone had never seen what Chen Jinwu was up to, so it attracted a lot of curious onlookers.

Chen Jinwu also shouted, "Come take a look! I'm selling insurance. As long as you take out insurance, if you fail the assessment, I will compensate you right here. Come and see."

The onlookers exchanged puzzled glances. Insurance? What's that?

"What's this insurance you're selling?" Someone asked.

Chen Jinwu looked at the other party and explained with a smile, "Hey, that's a good question, my friend. This insurance of mine, as long as you take it out and participate in the assessment, if you don't pass, I will compensate you with a certain amount of money based on the amount you insured.

"The current ratio of insured amount to compensation is 1:2, which means if you buy insurance worth ten taels of gold, and you don't pass the assessment, I will compensate you with twenty taels. How about it? Do you want to give it a try?"

When the person who asked heard this, he immediately said angrily, "What are you talking about? I haven't even taken the assessment and you already know that I can't pass? Seriously."

Chen Jinwu continued to smile. "It's just a guarantee to buy peace of mind. If you fail, you can still receive the money, right?"

The person who inquired seemed a bit intrigued and nodded, saying, "Alright, let's give it a try. I'll start with a hundred taels."

Chen Jinwu quickly smiled and asked, "Great! What's your name, my friend, and where do you live?"

"Don't worry; this is our professional service to record customer data to prevent fraudulent claims later."

The person nodded and said, "Okay, I'm Zhang San, and I live north of Luohe City…"

Seeing this, some people in the crowd, after understanding the purpose of this insurance, scoffed at it, while others, driven by curiosity, bought some.

However, not many people were willing to try something unfamiliar like this, but Chen Jinwu didn't mind. This was just his first step.

In the distance, Lin Feng glanced in the direction of Chen Jinwu and then paid no further attention.

According to the other party's plan, making money was not a problem, so he didn't bother much.

Beside him, Fang Lan and An Yu were curious and looked over. After understanding the nature of the insurance, An Yu asked, "Isn't this just giving away money? What if no one passes, or if someone buys it and intentionally fails the assessment?"

Lin Feng smiled. "Who would deliberately fail such an assessment?"

An Yu thought about it and realized it made sense. Compared to some money, joining the Hong family as a Hong family disciple would be even better.

"Well, I'll give it a try too. My knowledge of formations is terrible; I might as well buy insurance," An Yu smiled and said, "Sister Lan, do you want to go?"

Fang Lan shook her head. "Forget it, I won't go."

She had more thoughts. If the insurance seller ran away with the money, wouldn't she be cheated?

Therefore, she could not be bothered to try and advised An Yu, "Just buy a little; don't put all your money into it, okay?"

An Yu nodded and ran towards Chen Jinwu.

Lin Feng didn't pay much attention and looked toward the assessment area.

The Hong family's disciple assessment was divided into three stages. In fact, just passing the first stage would qualify one as a Hong family disciple. The second and third stages were said to be for selecting more outstanding disciples.

The first test was to test one's mental strength and understanding of formation runes. After all, carving formations required extremely high mental strength and knowledge of various runes.

As for the second stage, it was said to involve battles between formation masters of the same level, and the victors earned points while the losers had points deducted.

As for the purpose of these points, it had not been explained yet.

As for the third stage, it hadn't been publicly disclosed, but many speculated that it might be the one Hong Sen had prepared for selecting disciples.

At this point, the square outside the assessment area was packed with people, easily numbering in the tens of thousands. It was said that the first stage had already been going on for six days, and today marked the seventh day, the final day.

After today's conclusion, the Hong family would initiate the second stage of trials.

During the first six days, it was rumored that thousands of people had already been selected, all of them having gained the status of Hong family disciples. However, they were still preparing for the subsequent trials, hoping to secure better treatment after joining the Hong family.

As Lin Feng surveyed his surroundings, his expression suddenly changed. He turned around, and just as Chu Sanqiang was about to pat his shoulder, his hand froze in mid-air.

"You've got quite the mental strength, Young Master Nie, to have noticed me. I was planning to give you a little scare," Chu Sanqiang laughed.

Lin Feng smiled and clasped his hands together. "We meet again, Mr. Chu."

But he found it troublesome. Why did it have to be this guy again?

"Yes, it's quite a coincidence," Chu Sanqiang chuckled. "Young Master Nie, didn't you say you weren't planning to participate in this assessment? Why did you change your mind and come?"

Lin Feng proudly replied, "Well, didn't we hear that Hong Sen is extremely formidable? I thought about it and felt the need to come and show him what true talent is, so here I am."

Chu Sanqiang blinked and then gave a thumbs-up. "Young Master Nie, you've got some guts. I'll be looking forward to seeing your performance."

Lin Feng smiled confidently. "Just wait and see; I'll definitely be the most outstanding one!"

Because their voices weren't exactly quiet, they attracted the attention of many people around them.
