"Okay, that's what you said!" Mr. Shu smiled meaningfully.
Just as Xu Kun looked at the latest round of assessment questions with great anticipation, his expression froze...
The price of skipping a level is that you have to overcome difficult problems in one go!
The assessment at the A-level stage is similar to the difficulty of the college entrance examination!
That is a systematic test question that integrates the knowledge points of the three stages A, B, and C!
In this exam paper, which is full of questions, there are no questions that can be completed by luck, such as multiple-choice questions and fill-in-the-blank questions!
There are tens of thousands of questions, all of which are reasoning and application questions!
Moreover, test question areas are divided into test areas based on types, such as alchemy questions, which cover areas such as herbal collection, refining medicine, pathology, fire temperature control, alchemy furnace application, etc.!
Regarding every question, Xu Kun felt that all the theoretical knowledge he had learned was in vain!
For example, this first question is a video. The content of the video is the entire process of refining the elixir.
However, this 20-minute long elixir refining video failed in the final elixir-making process due to unknown factors. Until the end of the video, the test question of the video popped up: what grade of elixir was refined in the video, and the specifics. Understand the purpose of the elixir, combine the video conditions, sort out the reasons for failure, and perform actual operations to make the elixir refining successfully!
A critical hit at the opening!
A bunch of question marks appeared on Xu Kun's forehead!
As for what the elixir in question is, Xu Kun can roughly deduce it from the appearance and refining techniques through the elixirs recorded in the various elixir recipes he has learned before.
If the problem is found, Xu Kun is confident that he can figure it out through frame-by-frame analysis!
But the difficulty lies in the actual operation?
As an alchemy apprentice who has just started to refine alchemy, what qualifications does he have to refine such a low- to mid-range elixir?
Aren't you making things difficult for me, Fat Tiger?
With doubts, Xu Kun looked at Mr. Shu and said: "Mr. Shu, at a glance, the elixir refined in the video should be B or C level. Although I have dabbled in alchemy skills, my own alchemy skills I have just started the leveling process, how can I possibly complete the actual operation?"
Mr. Shu seemed to have known that Xu Kun would ask this question for a long time, and replied calmly: "You answer on paper first. When you find the right direction, the Academy will provide you with a virtual space, where you can You can temporarily have enough alchemy skills to refine this kind of elixir, but whether you can succeed depends on you, but the good thing is that every student who participates in the actual operation has three chances!"
Hearing this, Xu Kun breathed a sigh of relief.
If he relied on his own flames... Before his little ninety-nine spin could be completed, Mr. Shu poured a basin of cold water on him!
"In the virtual space, except for your own body and mind, you cannot use any of your own abilities. The flames and alchemy furnaces used are just ordinary fire and ordinary alchemy furnaces. You have to pay attention to this!"
"Also, at this stage, it is an open-book exam. There are no other restrictions. As long as you can pass the test, you can do whatever you want!"
The corner of Xu Kun's mouth twitched, and he remembered all the books he had read. It didn't mean much whether he took the exam as an open book or not!
The difficulty is real. No matter whether the elixir refined in the video is B level or C level, even if Xu Kun now has B level alchemy skills temporarily, it can be said that the chance of success is less than 10%!
Whether it is refining medicine or casting weapons, skill level is only a hard requirement. What really matters is experience!
Which alchemist or forger has not experienced countless trials and failed lessons again and again!
It seems that there are three attempts, but the actual situation is still not optimistic!
"It seems that we can only work hard in the early stage!" Xu Kun sighed.
The first test question put a lot of psychological pressure on Xu Kun. The only help in completing this test question was the failed operation video in front of him!
He wants to summarize the other party's mistakes from this failed video, and then find out the real feasible method. Finally, when his own theory is mature, he can carry out the actual operation!
For Xu Kun, this is equivalent to a young man who has just learned to cook, who has to organize the steps to cook a table of fragrant dishes in front of a video of an unknown chef's failure!
It's simply forcing someone to do something difficult!
But now that he has chosen, Xu Kun will naturally not back down.
If you can refine a B-level or C-level elixir during your apprenticeship in alchemy, you will be able to brag about it!
Learn secretly and amaze everyone!
With the draft paper in his left hand and the judge's pen in his right hand, Xu Kun stared at the content in the video and began to gradually analyze the opponent's operations according to various theoretical knowledge in the book!
Once, twice, three times...
There were hundreds of scraps of scrap paper around him. The more he looked at them, the more Xu Kun frowned!
Because based on the knowledge he had learned, after reading it three times and analyzing the other party's process over and over again, he found no flaws at all!
The other party's operation was just like in the textbook, watertight!
I can't say how gorgeous the operation is, but it is definitely a standard textbook alchemy technique, step by step. From Xu Kun's perspective, the other party has almost perfected the process!
But why did it fail?
The video started to play again for the fourth time. Xu Kun's eyes were so wide that he shed tears. He still couldn't see any problem and couldn't help but scratch his head and ears.
Seeing this, Mr. Shu smiled and said: "The questions need to be solved step by step. After watching the video four times, can you analyze the grade, name and specific function of the elixir refined in the video?"
Xu Kun didn't look back and said without hesitation: "What's so difficult about this? This is a common B-level elixir called Cinnamon Cardamom Pill. Its specific function is to improve a person's water ability in a short time..."
While speaking, Xu Kun stopped suddenly and turned his head stiffly to look at Mr. Shu.
Mr. Shu’s smile is “bright”!
Xu Kun suddenly slapped his head, as if he understood something, and continued to watch the video for the fifth time. This time, he really discovered the problem!
"It's the temperature!" Xu Kun said eagerly: "Because the efficacy of the Jade Cinnamon Cardamom Pill is mild, it does not have high requirements on the temperature of the flame and the material of the pill furnace. However, when the pill is formed, it is as fragile as the new cardamom. Once the temperature is too high, it will cause the elixir to wither and wither, causing the potency to dissipate, and in the video..."
In the last step of the video, the Cinnamon Cardamom Pill indeed changed from the original round and round shape to a withered yellow state. Normally, this is caused by the surrounding environment, but the environment in which the alchemist in the video is located, although not necessarily The treasure land for refining medicine is just a quiet room, but it has no extreme environmental impact!
Why is this...
Xu Kun, who had an idea, was not happy for two seconds and fell into a dead end again!
After several analyzes and drafts, I still haven’t come up with a reasonable explanation!
Seeing the painful expression on Xu Kun's eyebrows, Mr. Shu spoke again: "Instead of fishing in the abyss, it's better to retreat and build a net. You have two opportunities to try and make mistakes. If you don't try it yourself, how will you know what's going on in the process?" What are the things to pay attention to?”
Xu Kun's eyes lit up and he realized that he was indeed getting into trouble!
"Then please Mr. Shu, please open up a virtual space for me!"
"good!"
