, wonderful and free of pop-ups! "Now, please take out the detector under the bluestone platform, and then put the elixir you refined into the instrument." Zhan Yitu's voice sounded in the ears of each contestant.
Because such a bluestone platform was originally made according to the academy's standard alchemy platform, Yun Tai easily found the folded detector from under the bluestone platform.
According to research results, the best alchemy result of a first-grade elixir is a batch of twenty elixirs. Although the result of producing twenty pills in one furnace does not mean that the efficacy of these twenty pills is the best, it can be sure that the quality of the pills in this furnace is not at the highest level if it is more or less. good.
As for the quality of elixirs, in ordinary pharmacies, you can usually only see three grades of elixirs, top grade, medium grade and low grade. Usually, only within the Pharmacist Guild can there be a more detailed classification, and the higher the level of elixirs, the more detailed the quality classification.
"This detector has five levels of detection standards: red, orange, yellow, blue, and green. When you put in the Promotion Pill and the test result is excellent, the instrument will display green, the next level will be blue, and so on. List The list will automatically display the twenty players with the best test results. Now please start..." Zhan Yitu did not go back, but still stood at the front desk, looking up at the list in mid-air with everyone. Waiting for twenty names to come up.
Although nearly two-thirds of the contestants were eliminated, there were nearly a thousand people in the remaining one-third. Therefore, both the players and the audience know that with such a huge base, the number of outstanding players in a batch of twenty pills is almost certain to exceed twenty. Therefore, as long as one of the twenty pills turns blue, this player can basically confirm that he has no chance to enter the next round. Soon the entire square was shrouded in colorful neon lights, reflecting the joys and sorrows of the contestants...
Many eyes were nervously focused on the bluestone platform where Yun Tai stood.
"Hey, why is this elixir silent? Is the detector broken?" Yun Zhaomei asked strangely.
"What's not shown?" At this time, Yun Hao and Shui Xueli's nerves were on edge.
Upon hearing Yun Zhaomei's words, Shui Xueli almost jumped up. "What, no response? Why no response? Are you blind? That's not green!"
Yun Zhaomei was also frightened by Shui Xueli's excited reaction: "I, I didn't say Yun Tai, that was a fifth-grade pharmacist in front of Yun Tai..." "At this time, you are still in the mood to look around?" Do you still have any kind of brother-sister relationship?" Shui Xueli accused righteously, while comforting her frightened half-soul.
Yun Zhaomei was speechless for a while. How could he not care anymore? The pharmacist was right in front of Yun Tai, and he saw it by the way. If it weren't for the fact that he was a fifth-grade pharmacist, and that this person relied on his superb fire control skills and strong mental power to save the elixir that was almost considered a failure after the explosion, he wouldn't have looked twice at it. . But because he was arguing with a girl over such a trivial matter, Yun Zhaomei thought that as a man, he could not afford to embarrass this person.
"It's Felicis." Lancang Xi's heart also followed the green light on the detection instrument from bright (top) to dark (bottom). After all, it is his grandfather's side, and it will undoubtedly be his help in the future. At this time, Lancang Xi naturally hopes that Felicis can perform outstandingly in the competition, at least not to be eliminated in the first round. Otherwise, it will not look good on his face if he gets involved.
Obviously, Zhan Yitu, who was standing at the front desk and looking at the mountains, also saw this special situation. He waved his hand and motioned to the staff to bring all the elixirs refined by Felicis to the front desk.
As soon as he picked up the elixir, Zhan Yitu saw the clue. His eyes immediately lit up and he couldn't help blurting out: "Okay!"
Um? Now there are even more curious people. Even the surrounding contestants couldn't help but stop what they were doing and stretched their necks to get a closer look.
Classmate Yun Tai also inevitably stood up on tiptoes and stretched her neck. Unfortunately, due to her height, her sight was still blocked by the person in front of her. She tilted her head and looked again. For some reason, the pharmacist on the left side was tilted at the same time, blocking her sight. Yun Tai refused to give up and sought a breakthrough on the right. Unfortunately, the competitor in front of him on the right seemed to have the same understanding. He tilted his body and blocked Yun Tai's sight again. fall! If she doesn't want to watch it, then she won't watch it. If she can't watch the 'live broadcast', she will settle for the next best thing and listen to the 'radio'. Anyway, from such a long distance, she couldn't tell whether the elixir was good or bad.
Perhaps feeling the strong resentment of Yun Tai and the audience's desire for knowledge, the huge magic screen in the auditorium that originally broadcast the situation of each competition area reduced the display area of other competition areas, leaving a large area in the middle to broadcast the close-up of this It's an emergency.
"It's a second-grade elixir." A sixth-grade pharmacist said as he took one of the sixteen elixirs.
"That's right, although it is of lower quality, it does meet the standards of the second grade." Another sixth-grade pharmacist affirmed.
Immediately everyone looked at Felicis differently. He used the medicinal materials used to refine the first-grade elixir to refine the second-grade elixir. Although it was the second-grade elixir of the worst quality, he at least succeeded in refining the elixir. And if there are no traps and it's just normal alchemy, who knows what level of second-grade elixir Felicis can refine? Looking to the future, when his alchemy skills improve further, will he be able to refine third-grade elixirs from second-grade medicinal materials? Think about it, now that precious medicinal materials are becoming increasingly scarce, such talents are definitely not to be let go!
For a time, many people in the VIP table directly ordered their subordinates to investigate Felicis. Although everyone has a general idea when they hear the surname "Feli", what if, what if he is not from that family, what if he is not close to the family.
Looking at the pharmacists whispering among themselves at the VIP table, Felicis did not have any optimistic thoughts. Today's test question is to refine a first-grade promotion elixir. Not only did he blow up the alchemy furnace, but the result of his desperate efforts to save it was to produce a furnace of second-grade elixirs of extremely poor quality. Does not meet the requirements of the competition. Even if the pharmacists who invigilated the exam were accommodating, the number of elixirs he refined was still at a complete disadvantage compared to other contestants. Looking up at the list in mid-air that had already exceeded the quota and needed to be selected again in the play-offs, Felicis was filled with bitterness. He came to the competition with confidence, thinking that even if he didn't get a spot, he would definitely be able to enter the final 20-person selection, but he didn't expect to be eliminated in the first round.
"President Zhan, it is very rare that Pharmacist Felicis can refine a second-grade elixir using the same medicinal materials used to refine a first-grade elixir..." Lan Cangqiong was the first to speak in favor of him by virtue of his distance advantage.
Zhan Yitu didn't even listen to Lan Cangqiong's words before rejecting his proposal: "Your Majesty, Seventh Prince, there is no need to say any more. The rules of the competition are like this and cannot be accommodated. If everyone is lucky, then everyone will use the same medicinal materials in future competitions. When refining elixirs, whoever refines the elixirs with high grade and good quality will get the first place. Why should we bother to come up with any test questions? Wouldn't everything be messed up? His Majesty the Seventh Prince will not think that only Felicis Only pharmacists can use lower-level medicinal materials to make elixirs beyond the next level, right?"
"Of course not." Lan Cangqiong quickly denied, while showing a helpless expression to Felicis in the arena.
The tiny spark of hope that had just kindled in Felicis's eyes died out.
Seeing that the conclusion was drawn and there was nothing left to watch, classmate Yun Tai's attention returned to the front of the stage again.
Green, green, green. When the twenty promotion pills all showed green, many people let out a long breath. It seems that although classmate Yun Tai insists that he is a doctor, he still has not mastered the basic skills of alchemy.
"Damn it." The tenth prince cursed secretly.
"What's the rush? It's just the first round." The seventh prince said in a low voice. It was just a fluke that I got through the first round. First Grade Promotion Pill, when has such a simple question been asked in previous competitions? It is obvious that the Pharmacist Guild wants to give His Majesty face.
The first round of eliminations ended and the results were announced after the twenty-five arenas were ventilated. A total of 15,872 contestants passed the first assessment. In other words, these 15,872 contestants have refined twenty excellent promotion pills and are tied for first place!
This is a crazy number!
Seeing this number, Zhan Yitu blushed with excitement. He repeatedly confirmed with his assistant: "Is the number accurate? Has it been verified?"
"President, I have verified it three times." The assistant's face was also flushed. After the first round of eliminations in previous years, the number of remaining contestants was no more than a thousand at a time, but this year... this is a crazy pace!
"What's the situation with Nanteng and Yibo?" Zhan Yitu asked.
"It's not much different from previous years. There are no more than 1,500 contestants entering the second round." The assistant replied proudly. This was a complete crushing in terms of numbers.
"Is it really the effect of the medical reform?" Zhan Yitu whispered to himself. Otherwise, this situation really makes no sense.
When the tenth prince heard this, his face turned gloomy.
"President, what should we do next?" the assistant asked.
The second round in previous years basically selects 100 players from 500, then advances to 50, and finally determines the 25 players. But now there are 15,872 contestants! It is obviously impossible to bring all the contestants together to compete. It is necessary to conduct an additional round of elimination rounds to select 500 qualified contestants.
"Take a rest for three days, and then proceed to the second round of knockout rounds." Zhan Yitu waved his hand nonchalantly. He wanted to inform the president of the good news first.
Yun Tai, who passed the first round, did not celebrate with the rest of the team. Instead, she went to Teacher Huo Miao to report her thoughts after the game and listen to analysis.
"It's a pity Felicis." After the analysis, Huo Miao suddenly said.
"It's not a pity. Anyway, Pharmacist Ferri originally participated in the competition to test his alchemy ability. His elimination directly illustrates the problem." The knockout competition was originally so cruel, and so many low-level pharmacists passed the knockout competition. He was a five-year-old. Pharmacists have been eliminated, which speaks for itself. Moreover, Yun Tai had never heard of Felicis before today, so it was impossible to be partial.
"If he passes the sixth-grade pharmacist assessment before we go to Dan City, he still has a chance to participate in the competition in Dan City." Huo Miao looked at Yun Tai.
"Teacher, it's wrong to take advantage of others." Yun Tai looked upright.
Faced with the shamelessness of classmate Yun Tai, Teacher Huo Miao retreated.
