Global Awakening: I created the system

Chapter 20: Abyss Demon Queen Chen Ling!

Could it be that they weren't the protagonist?

Filled with similar thoughts, an eerie silence filler the once noisy class as a tense atmosphere rose through the air

Scanning left to right, suspicion-filled eyes darted in all directions as everyone became wary of one another

Thankfully, this situation didn't last long, as a female classmate suddenly spoke up

"Wait a minute everybody! I don't think this thing is a system, rather have a look at what it says!"

"Tower of trials? Obviously, it's some sort of special trial that we chosen few can take!"

"Plus if my guess isn't wrong, they'll be amazing rewards if we can pass the trials!" she said.

Armed with freckles, large prescription glasses, and short black hair, Chen Ling who spoke just couldn't be said to be the finest girl in class

Especially adding to the fact that she spent most of her days alone in class, either reading some online webnovel or reading in the library

However, as the top scholar in the class, more often than not her word is taken to face value making more people listen to her when she spoke

And this just now, was one of those situations.

Hearing Chen Ling's words, although still suspicious, those that had been selected by the tower just mow quickly turned back towards the screen to confirm her words

After all, just like Mu Fan without thinking or reading it, most of them already proclaimed to be the protagonist as soon as the virtual panel appeared before them

So checking it now, the smile that had appeared on their faces quickly disappeared as they realized that they were not the one

However, a majority of the class couldn't help but be confused by what was going on

System?

Protagonist?

Tower of trials?

Just what in the blue star was going on!?

Weren't they just staring at the end of the world outside their windows just now?

How did the situation suddenly go sideways?

Thankfully, at this time Su Ying had fully calmed down once again regaining her earlier momentum in the classmates

"Yes, what your classmate Chen Ling said is right, for those of you that can see it read it again"

"It implicitly states the words tower of the trial there, no matter what it may be"

"However considering this is something that none of us have heard of, let's wait for a while and see if the government will address it"

"In the meanwhile, before confirming what exactly this tower of trials is, unless you are willing to risk your life to explore the unknown"

"Then I advise you to either pick no or leave it on hold"

Analyzing the situation, Su Ying quickly spoke to those who have been chosen, while also explaining the current situation to the whole class

And as for who has and who hasn't received such a message, Su Ying felt that doing such a thing would be pointless

After all, most of the current students felt they were some sort of protagonist, she had even heard a few of them talk about things like escaping the government when they captured them

Just thinking about the number of outrageous conspiracy theories she had heard in the span of the last few minutes, she unknowingly found herself with a headache

Now go as such a set of chunni and delusional students to say whether or not they received such a message? Su Ying knew that most of them if not all of them would deny it

Thinking of this, Su Ying knew she couldn't press too much, rather all she could do was try and maintain the peace until the awakening was over

While also making sure to stop the students from doing anything radical or life-threatening in the process

*Sigh… if I had known such a thing would a global awakening would happen, then I would have listened to my mom and gone back to the farm last month*

sighing slightly, Su Ying quickly shook her head, after all, there was no use thinking about the past

Since right now, farming was the least of her problems

*Boom!*

With a huge tremor, just as she was about to continue talking to the class, the ground beneath her feet began to shake

Cracks appeared on the floors, walls, and ceiling, just looking at the surroundings, the whole building seemed like it wanted to collapse

"Not good earthquake!"

"Everybody hit the ground!"

Shouting at the top of her lungs, she didn't forget to make sure her students didn't get hurt as she commanded them to hide beneath their desks

And thankfully she did, because as soon as all the students had gotten under the desk, bits and pieces of the ceiling began to fall landing directly on the ground

Any of which could have caused a serious injury.

However, nobody relaxed as just a few minutes into the earthquake, a sudden change happened

From deep within the cracks in the floor, storage figures began to pop out

At two feet tall, with large bellies, scrawny physiques, and green skin, a group of creatures that you could only find in fantasy need novels crawled out from the ground

"Goblins!"

A classmate yelled.

Yes these small creatures couldn't be associated with anything other than goblins, and judging from their looks now they seemed to be aggressive in nature

"trogag! Smak! Ratak! Drigak!" (humans! Food! Eat! Women!)

Crawling out of the ground, more and more goblins began to appear each shouting words that nobody could understand

However judging from their looks, everyone could see that it wasn't anything good

At least almost everyone, as Ye Tian at the back, could fully understand them, after all, what they were speaking was the common demi-human language that he had learned in his last life

In fact, Ye Tian didn't have much of a reaction to their sudden appearance since this also happened in his last life on the day of the global awakening

All sorts of monsters popped out of different parts of the world, some sealed by powerhouses of different eras

Some were sent by foreign invaders and evil gods as scouts

But to this, Ye Tian didn't really care as her current stats could easily destroy all these goblins no matter how many they may be

I'm fact, what really caught his attention was Chen Ling who just spoke not too long ago

Perhaps it was because he had already begun to adapt to his new life, that he had unknowingly begun to forget some bits and pieces of his past life

As he just remembered who Chen Ling was after watching her speak just now

Looking back at it now, she was one of the only people who had his back in his former life and even warned of the incoming besiging

Unfortunately, he didn't listen to her thinking it was something he could escape or fight back

She was non-other than the founder of the House of information

Lord of Destiny and Night, Abyss Demon Queen Chen Ling!
