"You have to find time to find the captain of the guard to renew."
Lin Fan appeared at the door of the Mages Guild, put on the imperial robe that was due to expire in more than ten hours, and transformed into Boss Lin again.
I have to say that with the big red name on his body, Boss Lin's disguise is really useful. The patrolling soldiers even greeted him cordially. Who knows that he is the master mage among the NPCs.
"Listen up, the 1-minute time limit test is about to begin, all testers are ready."
In the mage training ground, players lined up to wait for the awakening professional test.
Seeing that the guild war was about to start, all the major guilds poured into the training ground in large numbers in order to gain immediate combat power. Thousands of mages made the place overcrowded.
The magic crystals on the training ground are broken and then rated by NPC wizards. D-level professions are the lowest and A-level professions are the highest.
Usually A-level professions require multiple re-examinations, and are finally rated by the three major magisters of Edgar. These people are the best among men and have a very advanced understanding of the mage profession.
For the sake of fairness for mages of all genres, it is not just the ability to get a high-level profession that has strong output ability. There will also be assessments such as: skill accuracy, delicacy, mana control, etc.
"I'm speechless. We only have a 20-meter shooting range. The red crystal is 50 meters away. The target is made so small. How the hell can God hit it?"
"Try to break the blue crystal, but it's not easy. It will take at least ten straight A shots to destroy it with a headshot."
"It's too difficult... I should have known I was playing knight. I heard that they were testing a horse-riding charge. If you poke the target, you can get the B position."
Dozens of test players lined up on the training ground to complain.
The first round of the test is very simple, that is, within the 1 minute time limit, use the flat A to break the green, blue, yellow, and red crystals that are 20 meters away.
The green crystal is the largest and easiest to hit, while the blue crystal is inlaid on the head of a doll, which requires high accuracy for level A/skills.
The difficulty of the third citrine increases. There are two scattered on the doll, and you need to level A in order.
As for the red crystal, it is even more abnormal. It is only the size of a fist from a distance of fifty meters, and is embedded in the palm of a stone carving.
Not to mention being able to hit accurately, many mages still don't have this range.
Most players stood in front of the blue and yellow crystals. Those who broke the citrine crystal would advance to the next round and hopefully win a B-level career.
B-level professional strength, not to mention becoming a god of the gods, at least has the potential to become a first-tier elite player.
Lin Fan stood in the crowd and looked around. The red crystal was the most difficult to crush, but there were still more than a dozen players standing there.
I blindly guess that these people either have rare weapons with increased range, or have special soul seal blessings like him, otherwise ordinary players will not be able to touch the red crystal.
The test began, and everyone started throwing skills at the target, and soon someone broke the first two crystals.
In front of the red crystal, even if these players have sufficient range, the mage's flat-A ballistics are difficult to control, and they need to manually guide the attack point for a certain period of time.
The attacks missed one after another at the feet of the statue or parts of the statue's body.
"It's too difficult. Only a few have passed the Awakening of the Mage A class. Hitting the red crystal ten times in a row. Is this possible?" A player quit the test with a frustrated look on his face.
Lin Fan was not surprised. The mage profession is a big earner, and its operation is much more difficult than that of archers and priests. It is really difficult for players to pass the test if they don't have to polish it for a few weeks.
After several rounds, only two people passed the red crystal crushing. However, this was only the first round of testing, and the following tests will be more difficult.
"I said...what's going on? Why did the NPC sneak in? I've never heard that NPC mages also need to be tested?"
"Damn it, it's really an NPC."
Several players who had just left the game were stunned. Boss Lin got the test number and went straight to the training ground.
His position is very unique, choosing to stand in the middle of the training ground.
"Huh? After testing tens of thousands of adventurers, someone finally discovered it?"
A bad old man standing in the stands stretched his head. He was wearing a dirty gray robe. He was obviously not from the same group as the well-dressed wizards around him.
The old man's cloudy eyes flashed brightly, and he saw through "Boss Lin's" poor disguise at a glance.
"Old Terry, I want this guy." The old man showed a pair of yellow teeth and a slightly lewd smile.
"Is it your turn to speak here, a heretic?" A mage with a sinister face looked at him coldly.
"Hey, what a pagan? We are all just traveling together." The old man didn't care and turned his attention to an old man wearing a star robe.
Essent was calm and said calmly: "Even if he discovers the secret of the test, I don't think he will definitely follow you. No one can accept your tactics."
The bad old man looked a little embarrassed and said: "...There is no limit to magic. There are always people who pursue the ultimate like me."
"Is no one taking care of it? Is there something wrong with the game program? Everyone, get out of the way, this NPC is crazy!"
"Yes, to avoid being accidentally injured, the Shura Society was inexplicably attacked by a magic meteorite, which gave the God Killer group a chance to be wiped out!"
The players standing around Lin Fan felt as if they had seen a ghost and quickly moved away for fear of being killed and losing their equipment.
When Lin Fan saw the players around him getting out of the way, this actually went along with his wishes.
Start switching to flat A mode.
He raised his hand and fired the wind blade, hitting the largest green crystal. The crystal showed that the health bar dropped by one.
Raising his hand again, a water ball hit the blue crystal. A magic pattern appeared on the surface of the crystal and then disappeared.
"What is he doing? What does it mean to hit two crystals?"
"That's not right. There were no lines when I applied it."
A bunch of players didn't understand, so Lin Fan switched to level A again, this time with two stone cones, one in front and one behind, hitting two citrines accurately.
Ding……
The magic pattern reappeared, and the light became brighter and brighter.
And this was just the beginning. Lin Fan looked calm and threw the fireball.
"Oh my god...this is the strength of the Imperial Mage, fifty meters away and so fast!"
Everyone was shocked. The fireball accurately hit the most difficult red crystal, and the entire stone statue trembled.
Amidst the exclamations, Lin Fan repeated his previous actions again.
"Wang Defa, this is the gap between players and NPCs!"
"Tch, it's just a program. What if the AI could hit a target a thousand meters away?"
Lin Fan's every shot was accurate, and the magic patterns on the crystal gradually became clearer. It looked particularly magical, with four phantoms faintly projected into the world.
"How...how did you do this?"
The mage who reprimanded the old man was full of surprise. According to the S-level hidden profession standards of the Mage Guild, once an adventurer discovered the secret of testing crystals, that is: each crystal corresponds to four different magical elements with different attributes.
Use different levels of A to hit the crystals in order. The mission only needs to be maintained at 70% to trigger the mission.
But the man in front of him had perfect shots and seemed to have not tried his best!
The surrounding players and NPCs were silent, except for the constant roar of magic on the training ground.
Lin Fan smiled and said nothing. In his previous life, a player discovered this secret and got not one S-level hidden career clue, but two!
The first one is the S-level career clue of the Mage Guild: dual-system fellow practitioners/single-system ultimate school, elemental mage.
The second one is the S-level career clue of the Chaos Religion: all four elements, Chaos Mage.
"Go quickly and send a message to this person. The Mages Guild needs such talents!" the magician said to his subordinates.
The bad old man stood up immediately after hearing this, with a fierce look in his eyes: "I'm going to decide this person. Whoever dares to rob me, I will fucking destroy all life in Edgar City!"
Having said that, a six-pointed star array lit up in front of the old man. Different from the white hexagram when the player released his skills, this hexagram actually showed a strange dark red color, and a chaotic god's shadow could be vaguely seen in the middle of the array.
"What do you want to do, old bastard!"
A gray mist enveloped the heads of all the mages, and they were all frightened. They took out their staffs and prepared to fight!
"Yan Tianqiu, you are misleading someone. You will only harm him when the time comes."
Essentri waved his hand casually, and wisps of holy light swept over everyone, and the chaotic atmosphere was offset.
"You've gained a clue to a hidden career."
"Option 1: Enter the Mage Guild Chamber and enter the professional re-examination."
"Option 2: Leave the Mages Guild."
The system prompt appeared. Lin Fan thought for a moment, chose the second option, and declined the next round of test invitations.
"You talk a lot of nonsense, I have my own sense of proportion!" Yan Tianqiu sneered and ran down the stand under the hostile eyes of everyone in the Mage Guild.
"Sure enough, those two old men were fighting."
Lin Fan looked back at the stands, then walked out of the training ground in front of everyone's surprised eyes, and sat leisurely at the door waiting.
