After much hesitation, Chen Hao was still more inclined to exchange for Civilization Bixu.
First of all, although Chen Hao didn't think that a mere civilization of Bixu could bring Xi'er to the growth stage quickly, the introduction of the ability to slightly increase the effect of the weapon spirit bonus made Chen Hao a little excited.
Yes, the introduction made it clear that this improvement should not exceed half a percent at most, but no matter how much the final improvement is, Chen Hao's Ancestral Dragon Power characteristic can double the final effect.
In terms of cost performance, this is the most cost-effective.
Secondly, Chen Hao had a little calculation rattling in his heart.
Although he didn't mention it again, and Instructor Wang didn't say it again, there was one thing!
Chen Hao has not forgotten that in his interior scene, there are four light groups above the head of Dashu's father!
This is the real magic of his interior locations!
No matter when they broke out of their shells, Chen Hao determined that he had five linked cultural relics.
Five linked artifacts sound majestic, but they are stressful to raise.
Let’s not talk about the fruits of civilization. This one was given by the Federation. The next four are probably not free, so you have to find a way on your own.
Now is the weapon spirit growth period coming again?
The only strategy we can adopt is to raise one of them first and count them all!
Take advantage of the limited-time discount to get this wave of wool first.
And thirdly, just from the perspective of this long river crossing, as one of the three magical interior locations, the weapon spirit is his greatest advantage. If the weapon spirit is not strengthened, isn't it putting the cart before the horse?
Of course, last but not least!
Even in the royal family, the relationship between father and son needs to be maintained and managed. He and Xi'er are still only at the initial level of intimacy.
When raising a puppy, you also need to feed it to make it close to you!
After making such a plan, Chen Hao felt that there was nothing wrong with it.
Let’s take a look at what the second round of missions is later. As long as it doesn’t require any targeted resources, just choose Civilization Bixu.
After making up his mind, Chen Hao withdrew his mental power from the token. He looked around and found that hundreds of people were already sitting at the gate of Taixue.
His eyes fell on the little bald man wearing a monk's robe and Pei Tugou, who was also wearing a flying fish suit not far away. Seeing that they were also concentrating on visiting the limited-time store, he did not come forward to disturb them.
At this moment, a gust of fragrant wind came, and then a graceful figure sat down next to Chen Hao.
"Are you Chen Hao, the Western Capital, the magical interior place?" The voice sounded, soft and tactful, with a little bit of inarticulate Mandarin. The tone sounded difficult if it was heavier, and it felt artificial if it was weaker, but it happened that the voice sounded like it. It just so happens that there is a playful charm that makes people listen attentively.
Chen Hao turned his head and saw a beautiful girl with dark eyebrows and starry eyes. She was wearing an improved Miao costume. The blue and white base was embroidered with various flowers and plants. A pair of slender calves, blue and white, were exposed under the knee-length cloth skirt. The embroidered shoes are embroidered with snakes, scorpions and other objects, but there is no feeling of terror when looking at them, only cuteness.
Chen Hao instantly recognized that this was the woman who was playing with snakes alone in the auditorium.
"Hello, I'm Chen Hao." Chen Hao smiled and nodded.
"My name is Qin Qingqing, Qingqing, my Qingqing." The woman stretched out her hand and said, "I heard Sister Linlang mentioned you."
Chen Hao was a little surprised. He shook the other person's hand first, and then asked, "Do you know Sister Linlang?"
Qin Qingqing nodded: "I got to know Sister Linlang when she went to Caiyun Prefecture for business last month. She said that you would also participate in this long river crossing... Hehe, she asked me to take care of you more."
Qin Qingqing's speech was a bit fast, but her voice was really pleasant, like the tinkling of spring water, which made her feel relaxed and happy.
"Really? Then I'll ask you for more help." Chen Hao agreed with a smile.
"Well, if you are ugly, I won't tell you this." Qin Qingqing nodded, patted her chest, which was only slightly better than Lin Feixing's, and said cheerfully: "But you look pretty good, then I will Take good care of you."
Chen Hao was about to say something else when suddenly the gate of Taixue opened with a bang, several drums sounded inside, and everyone retreated from browsing the limited-time store.
Everyone stood up one after another and saw Instructor Wang walking out of Taixue with several instructors.
Instructor Wang's eyes looked around like a scanner, then he cleared his throat and said loudly: "Everyone, congratulations on passing the first test of the long river crossing."
"Right now, there are still 400 contestants competing for the crossing!"
"Our goal in the second round is to reduce the remaining contenders to—"
Instructor Wang's voice paused, and then he said: "Seventy-two!"
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar outside the Imperial Academy. Except for a few people who frowned slightly, everyone else's expressions changed drastically.
Chen Hao was also shocked. If it was understandable that half of the candidates were screened in the first round, this second round was a direct selection of one from six.
This elimination rate is too high!
At this time, Chen Hao also heard a fat man standing not far from him murmuring: "No, it's not the right way!"
He took two steps to the side, came to the fat man, and whispered: "Xidu Chen Hao, hello..."
The fat man looked at Chen Hao in surprise, and then replied: "Nanduguan Shanyue, hello."
"I heard what you just said was that what Instructor Wang said was wrong. I wonder what's wrong?" Chen Hao asked.
Guan Shanyue quickly whispered in Mandarin with a dialect: "No, no, it's just a little different from what I knew before."
Chen Hao looked at Guan Shanyue with doubtful eyes, and Guan Shanyue explained: "I have inquired about the contents of the previous long river crossings. Although the contents are different, they are basically four rounds, and the first three rounds are half elimination rate.”
"At the end of the first round, there are 400 left; at the end of the second round, there are 200 left; at the end of the third round, there are 100 left; it will not be until the fourth round that the final twelve people are selected from the 100!"
"In the second round, there are only 72 places left. It's a bit too..."
Guan Shanyue held it in for a while and did not finish his words. He just sighed: "It must be related to the challenge from Fuji Country."
Chen Hao also nodded. If there was such a big change from the usual practice, there is really no other explanation other than changing the content of the fight for Fuji Country.
With a faint smile on his face, Instructor Wang waited for the contestants in front of him to discuss quietly for a while, then coughed twice again and suppressed everyone's discussion.
"But don't worry, everyone. Different from the past where the second round only lasted ten days, this time the second round of the long river crossing will take a full month!"
"During this month, you will naturally have ways to continue to earn merit points and exchange rewards to improve yourself!"
At this time, someone in the crowd said: "Instructor Wang, stop being so pretentious and tell us what the content of the second round of crossing is going to be?"
Instructor Wang smiled slightly, just looked at the time and said, "It's almost time."
The next moment, the earth suddenly shook, as if an earth dragon turned over.
Chen Hao and others steadied themselves, and while they were wondering, someone suddenly exclaimed: "Look there!"
Everyone first found the person by following the sound, and then looked in the direction of the person's finger. They immediately saw a square pavilion-style brick tower that seemed to have broken out of the ground and was slowly rising.
"Huh? Are you crazy about the Big Wild Goose Pagoda?" Chen Hao blurted out.
The next moment, Chen Hao felt that Master Wang's stern gaze fell on him. He was startled and said seriously: "The Big Wild Goose Pagoda was built in 652 AD. Xuanzang brought it back to Chang'an from Tianzhu via the Silk Road in order to preserve it." The Sutra Buddha statue presided over the construction, which is a precious historical heritage site in the hot summer."
Instructor Wang snorted softly and spoke again: "This Big Wild Goose Pagoda is not a reappearance of the ancient city, but the treasure of civilization corresponding to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda in reality!"
After Instructor Wang finished speaking, he saw doubtful looks on some people's faces, especially Chen Hao, who started to look left and right again, so he had to explain: "Many monuments are too heavy or bear too many cultural relics, such as the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. , the Qin Emperor’s Mausoleum, the Forbidden City of Yandu, etc., these places cannot resonate with the souls of civilization.”
"So we refined it into a treasure with a special function to suppress my luck in the hot summer, also called the treasure of luck!"
"The Big Wild Goose Pagoda is one of them."
After hearing Instructor Wang's explanation, everyone suddenly realized.
Instructor Wang continued: "This Big Wild Goose Pagoda is a nine-story pagoda rebuilt by Li Zhi, Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty. Each floor in it has its own space."
"In order to fight for this long river crossing, the seniors of Yanxia Great Wall took action and captured countless high-dimensional vicious creatures on the civilized battlefield and threw them into it."
"The first floor corresponds to the first-grade smoke-like realm, the second floor corresponds to the second-grade smoke-like realm, and so on!"
"The content of the second round of the long river crossing is for you to enter the tower and kill the murderous creatures!"
"The points and achievements of each level of evil creatures are different. You can check it yourself when the time comes."
"One month later, the top seventy-two will advance to the next round!"
Chen Hao touched his chin.
It sounds familiar!
Isn't this just a tower sweep?
Chen Hao just wanted to ask one question at this time: Is there a Dragon Palace? Please form a team!
After casually complaining a few words in his mind, Chen Hao thought of business again.
If it were just this mission...
Then exchange it for Civilization Bixu later.
I think Xi'er will be very happy!
