Early in the morning, Tang Zhao came out of the camp and inspected the examination room with a radius of hundreds of miles.
The choice of examination room is somewhat interesting. The large terrain is flat and smooth, suitable for galloping, but there are several canyons, a cave, and a dry river bed. These are very important places of scenic beauty and natural checkpoints. It also includes some agency tasks, as well as enemies played by puppets and sergeants.
In one of the levels, there are five sergeants blocking the road, and only a group of five people can move forward. They have to fight a standard team of five people, which is naturally a test of team battle. It is said that there is a ten-person team level in the previous examination process, and there are many requirements for the group.
There are even treasures set up in that cave. As long as you catch the "bandits" entrenched in this area, you can find it.
It was a real treasure. Tang Zhao saw a precious magic weapon in it, as well as several rare materials produced on the front line, all of which could be used to make swords. The price of these materials is hundreds of dollars in terms of raw materials, and may not be tens of thousands in terms of gold and silver.
These are all handiwork of the Xinrui Battalion, and you can take away whatever you can get.
It is said that such props are also hidden in other places, but they are actually mainly used to pass the level.
Because each student can only bring a one-yuan heavy magic weapon and a robe to protect himself when entering the examination room, and no other equipment is allowed.
This is fine in the safe area, but not enough in the frontline examination room, so when you encounter props, you can take them away to help you pass the test. This was also a common operation in the examination rooms in previous years.
But the key is that these props will not be recycled after the test.
If you find it, you will earn it.
In this regard, the rookie camp is really generous. Although the test session is very torturous, the surprises are really in place. Even if you fail and get something, you won't leave empty-handed.
Much better than last year's Jing'an Division.
Not only did the Jing'an Division not give gifts, they also made the students work in vain - last year's exam included a test on interrogation skills. The students had to interrogate some stubborn enemies who had hidden information and pry open their mouths.
As a result, it was later learned that most of the enemies captured by the Jing'an Division were die-hards or of low value and were not worthy of the manpower expended by official personnel to interrogate them, so they were left to the students for questioning. It's best to ask, otherwise there is no loss.
There are three poles if there are no dates.
Tang Zhao inspected all the examination rooms, checked that the props were in good condition and that the process was normal. He communicated with the "NPCs" played by the soldiers, praised their dedication, and praised the Chinese army for its accuracy in selecting personnel.
Some of the robbers look so good that no one would believe that they are not robbers.
After leaving the village, Tang Zhao saw various ferocious beasts and phantoms.
The ferocious beasts only know how to run rampant and are not worth mentioning. Among the phantoms, there are some who perform well. Among them is the "Beast Charm". Combined with the ferocious beasts, their power is greatly enhanced. Tang Zhao is expected to cause a lot of trouble to the students.
As for the phantom that he had looked at before and felt unusual, he carefully observed it and found that it was a very rare "puppet". After it went out, it captured a talisman puppet on the spot, and drove it to capture other talisman puppets, two in a row, and three in a row, and it soon became huge.
It looks like something big is going to happen.
He hesitated but didn't stop.
This is part of the exam, and it has been weakened by letting the students face the real phantom.
The performance of this phantom has not gone beyond the norm. There was no good reason to intervene.
Let's see what tricks these conscious phantoms can do.
Puppet is the easiest type for Tang Zhao to handle, and he is sure of it.
Tang Zhao visited all the locations, matched them with maps and plans, and made sure to remember them in his mind before following Captain Zhao and Li Lei to visit "Red Stone Village".
Hongshi Village is located on a platform between two huge rocks, surrounded by cliffs. The rocks on the cliffs are dark red, and it is worthy of the name Hongshi Village.
The terrain of the village is particularly dangerous, and one must climb up through a nearly vertical path on the cliff. This is to guard against ferocious beasts and other unknown disasters, and is also the norm in civilian villages in the Broken Territory.
Presumably those candidates who have gone through a long journey have lost the desire to climb when they see the cliff here.
In fact, it doesn't matter if you miss it, it's just that you lost the last supply point.
When Tang Zhao went up the mountain, he saw narrow platforms carved out of the rock wall, and terraced fields were cultivated on them, where heat- and drought-resistant crops were planted. He couldn't help but marvel at people's hard work and tenacity.
When we entered the village, we saw two or three stone houses with probably hundreds of people. Unexpectedly, the village is not very poor. Most of the stone houses are neatly and exquisitely built. The village is clean, there is no traffic, and there is a spacious ancestral hall.
The village chief, who was about forty years old, was very polite to Tang Zhao and invited him to sit behind the ancestral hall. He also served food. There were no vegetables, only a cold cactus dish, and meat dishes such as stewed fox meat and roasted rabbit.
Tang Zhao naturally ate some politely. During the dinner, the village chief talked about the exam and said: "Don't worry, Master Swordsman, as long as anyone is willing to climb the rock and come to see us, our village will give them something. There is still a surplus of food in the village these years."
The words spoken by the village chief are no different from those of ordinary people. At most, they have a slight accent, but communication is no problem. For example, Li Lei's speech is already in the official Mandarin of the military, and the accent is basically indiscernible. I think the village has been under the protection of Moyun City for several generations and has been completely assimilated.
Tang Zhao smiled and said: "It's not easy for me at home. No matter how much things are produced, the Chinese army will naturally reimburse them. Don't be polite to them."
After hearing this, the village chief grabbed him and said, "Master Swordsman, don't think that we are just those small households in poor villages, and it doesn't matter what we want. Come and see."
He took Tang Zhao to the cliff, pointed to a red vine on the cliff, and said, "Have you seen the 'Blood Dancing Vine'? It's very good at stopping bleeding and generating blood. It can't grow anywhere else. It's all from the village." Industry. Moyun City sends people to collect it every year, and the price is very high, so we can live without worries about food and clothing."
Tang Zhao nodded repeatedly, and the village chief wanted to chop one off for him to take away on the spot. Tang Zhao could not refuse, so he had to accept it.
While they were chatting about the topic of specialties, Li Lei came in a hurry and winked at the side. The village chief saw him and said hurriedly: "Master Swordsman, you guys are busy with business, I'll take my leave now."
Li Lei said hurriedly: "Uncle Gao, don't leave - I'm just giving you a wink."
The village chief felt a little embarrassed and said: "You kid, the swordsman is not an outsider. Why are you so secretive? Come on, just say it here."
Tang Zhao couldn't help but wanted to get up and leave. The village chief grabbed him and said, "Don't leave, don't leave. What secrets can we have?"
Li Lei rubbed his nose and said: "Village chief, the one in your ancestral hall..."
The village chief suddenly understood and said: "Oh, you ask the boy who lives temporarily? He was passing by. He ran to our cliff. The rules in our village are that all visitors are visitors, so we can't drive him down. How pitiful he is. Yes, let him live in the ancestral hall for a few days."
Li Lei said anxiously: "No, how can you ask him to live in the ancestral hall?"
The village chief said: "Why don't you stay at your house?"
Li Lei was stunned for a moment, then the village chief said: "Actually, that's what I thought at first. You are away from home all year round. Isn't your house empty? It can be lived in by others. Even if your door is locked, I won't I have the nerve to break down the door..."
"Is that the point?"
Li Lei's accent was so angry that he said anxiously: "The exam is about to take place. This is a major event of Moyun City, and I have told you that it is very important. How can you just admit people at this time? Besides, except for Moyun City's Man, how can outsiders come here with a fuel-efficient lamp? Who knows it’s not those people from Yongyeting and Buyue who are peeping..."
The village chief said: "What kind of situation is this? Didn't you say it's the same as usual? General Lang and us are the same as usual. Normally we can't turn away guests. And they are coming from Moyun City, and there are road signs. , it must be our own people. What else can our own people say?"
Li Lei sneered and said: "One of our own? I'm a ghost. I can tell at a glance that he is an outsider who comes from nowhere. Hiding his head and showing his tail, there must be something weird..."
Seeing that the two sides were about to quarrel, Tang Zhao smoothed things over and said, "Wait a minute, I wonder who has come to the village? Why don't I take a look?"
The village chief said: "Okay, Master Swordsman must be fine. Anyway, he just said not to ask women to find him..."
Tang Zhao asked unexpectedly: "Female?"
The village chief looked around and said, "Master Swordsman, don't tell others. This is their private matter. I have agreed not to tell others."
Tang Zhao didn't know why but a thought occurred to him: He must have told more than one "other person" about this.
The village chief continued: "Well, there is a young man in our village who escaped from Moyun City. It is said that he escaped from marriage."
Tang Zhao's eyes widened, he didn't expect that such an ancient excuse would still be used by someone.
"I asked him if he was forced to marry an ugly girl? He said no, the one who forced him was very handsome. But his temper was cruel and domineering, and he was simply not a human being. Both husbands died violently within a year and a half. Also like She hunts for beautiful young men. She also has equally ferocious evil women and sisters who chase him to no end. So he begged me not to reveal his whereabouts when I see a beautiful woman."
"But Master Swordsman, although you are handsome, you are not a woman. I thought it would be okay to tell you."
Tang Zhao thought to himself: Isn’t it possible for a beautiful woman to tell? It seems that the news of his coming here is not easy to keep secret.
But running away from marriage or something like that... is not believable at all.
In a small town like Moyun City, there are not many ordinary residents. They are all soldiers and military family members. At most, there are some businessmen. There are not many big families, let alone the drama of family escape from marriage. Tang Zhao was inclined to what Li Lei said, there must be something weird.
"I want to see what's weird."
When I followed the village chief to the wing of the ancestral hall, I saw that the door was closed tightly in broad daylight, as if the door was closed to thank guests.
The village chief didn't see anyone outside, so he opened the door and walked in.
I saw a young man sitting bored on the bed in a narrow house.
Tang Zhao entered the door, and the young man turned around and saw Tang Zhao. They looked at each other. The man jumped up suddenly and said happily: "Haha, the savior is here!"
