Harker Elf Academy, Experimental Center.
"I heard that this year's wilderness survival test will be held in the Forest Park of Azure Lake. It is said that all the elves and other things will be handed over, and then the people will be thrown into the forest, and the candidates will be asked to run out of the forest on their own."
"This trainer's entrance exam is really tough. I thought it was to test the survival skills in the wild, such as drilling wood to make fire in the wild, or filtering water, making tools or something."
"However, this test is reasonable. After all, after being trapped in the forest, the ultimate goal is to escape from the forest. Otherwise, no matter how good you are at making a fire or finding water, if you have been trapped in the forest for a long time, you are still waiting to die. "
"That's right."
"Speaking of which, I don't know how Junior Mark is doing. He scored 99 points on the written test himself. Yesterday's Elf Affinity and Physical Fitness test, I heard from him, was OK."
"It should be pretty good. It's not like you don't know Mark's body. He has a good brain, and his body is as strong as Kentero's."
"But after all, I don't bring any elves or tools with me. It is inevitable to encounter some unexpected situations in the wild..."
In the laboratory, assistants Zhang Qing and Wang Lei were discussing today's field survival test, but were interrupted by Professor Tao's cough.
Listening to Zhang Qing and Wang Lei's concerns about Mark, a smile appeared on Professor Tao's lips.
At first, he was worried when he learned about the content of the wilderness survival test.
It's not that I'm worried that Mark won't pass the exam, but that he's worried that Mark will have an accident.
What if something unexpected happens to a talented researcher like Mark who is just released into the wild?
Take the most common and highly aggressive venomous elf Arbor snake in the Kingdom of Shia as an example. What if Mark is bitten by an Arbor snake and becomes unconscious after being poisoned?
You can’t expect Arbor Snake to turn around and run away immediately after seeing Mark, right?
The one with the [Intimidation] trait is Arbor Snake, not Mark.
Fortunately, just when he was worried this morning, he got a reply.
During today's wilderness survival test, a patrolling examiner will keep an eye on Mark. If something happens to Mark, he will be rescued immediately.
Not only that, during the process of escaping from the forest, the patrolling examiner would regularly airdrop props such as orange fruits to restore Mark's physical strength. If he found that Mark's route was wrong or felt that Mark's physical strength was declining, the examiner would They will also help Mark escape for a certain distance on the grounds of emergency evacuation.
Of course, due to the limitations of the video equipment on each candidate, the examiner's help cannot be too obvious. At most, he can help Mark "escape from danger" three to four times. Mark has to escape the last few kilometers by himself.
But no matter what, compared to ordinary candidates, Mark already has a great advantage. If he can't pass the wilderness survival test, he can't blame others.
Without thinking much, Professor Tao raised the corner of his mouth and said, "You two, please stop discussing. The two Magikarp I applied for have arrived this morning. You two can test them with the brainwave controller."
Professor Tao said as he put the Carp King into the water tank. Zhang Qing and Wang Lei stopped discussing it and walked over immediately.
Then……
Ding dong~
The sound of an email appeared, and Professor Tao picked up the Elf Illustrated Book.
As he read the contents of the email in the picture book, Professor Tao's originally good expression turned gloomy.
——Mark is missing.
According to the email, there is indeed a special examiner who is responsible for keeping an eye on Mark, but that special examiner has to keep an eye on more than a dozen students at the same time.
Well, Mark is not the only candidate who has been cared for.
Probably a candidate under care was accidentally injured. After the examiner helped deal with it, he discovered that Mark was missing.
After searching for several times around the stronghold, the examiner applied for permission to retrieve GPS information from the nearby area. It was found that the signal of Mark's GPS disappeared. It was suspected that the GPS was damaged, and the help function may have been affected to some extent.
Currently, a search and rescue team of more than a dozen examiners has been formed in the area where Mark is located, and a blanket search is underway.
The message in the email told him not to worry. The danger in the forest had long been eliminated and Mark should be found soon.
Snapped!
Professor Tao slapped the illustrated book on the table in anger.
When Mark put on a white coat and entered the laboratory.
When I saw Professor Tao banging the table and getting angry, I took a few sweet oranges I brought back from the forest and walked over to Professor Tao.
"Professor, what happened? This is a sweet orange that I just picked. It tastes better than the one in Qingxi Forest, and it can also reduce the anger."
Hearing Mark's comfort, Professor Tao calmed down a little.
He casually opened a sweet orange and put it into his mouth. Professor Tao sighed lightly and said with a worried expression: "It's the field survival test you took today. I just received the news that you are missing... …”
"...Huh?" Professor Tao realized something and his eyes widened: "You're back? Aren't you taking a field survival test? Why are you back?"
Mark smiled and explained: "Didn't I tell you yesterday that I am very good at surviving in the wild?
So I went a little faster.
After the exam, I handed in the video recording device. They reviewed it and found that there was nothing wrong with it, so I came back.
As for the news that you received my disappearance, it may be because the woods were blocking it and they didn't notice my trace. After all, there is a section of the Forest Park of Azure Lake where shrubs and forests are quite dense.
But with a GPS locator, it should be possible to know my location. Could it be that the bus I was riding caused signal interference? "
Professor Tao's mind was filled with questions: "Bus? Did you come out of the forest by bus?"
Mark said helplessly: "Of course you have to use your legs to walk in the forest. You take the bus after leaving the forest.
It's Hukou Village. There is a No. 64 bus stop there. A bus will appear every forty-five minutes. I waited for about ten minutes before the bus came.
Afterwards, I got off the bus at Hacker Central Square and took bus 22 to the entrance of Hacker Elf Academy.
In fact, I saw more than a dozen Harker College buses in Hukou Village and the Ring Forest Road. I guess as long as we leave the forest range, we can take the bus directly back to the college.
But maybe I came a little early. When I arrived at Hukou Village, the bus drivers were not there, so I had to take the bus. "
Professor Tao thought blankly for a while, then suddenly frowned and said, "No...didn't you say you handed over everything? Did you keep the money secretly?"
Mark explained: "It's like this, I picked up a bag in the forest, so I picked some sweet oranges on the way, and thought about bringing you some to try. After all, you have taken good care of me these days, and then I came to Hukou Village When I was there, I used sweet oranges to exchange for some money from the villagers."
Mark said, carrying the bag near the door, and gave some of the sweet oranges in the bag to Professor Tao, Wang Lei, and Zhang Qing.
Professor Tao frowned and picked up a bag containing sweet oranges. It might be an exaggeration to say that the sweet oranges in the bag weighed fifty kilograms, but thirty kilograms was still there.
While thinking, Professor Tao looked at Mark again. At this time, Mark's body was neat and tidy, and his mental state was exactly the same as usual. There was no trace of embarrassment.
It was obviously a wilderness survival test, so why did he feel like he was going on an outing in an orchard when looking at Mark's condition?
…
Harker Elf Academy, Dean's Office.
Just when Professor Tao felt that Mark was having an outing in the orchard, Dean Cao of Hack Elf Academy also got the news that Mark had completed the exam.
"Dean, if nothing unexpected happens, the candidate who ranks first in this year's entrance exam has already appeared."
"Oh? I remember the results of the wilderness survival exam won't be released until tomorrow?"
"No, a candidate has already succeeded. This is the body-worn video of this candidate's wild survival test today."
Dean Cao nodded, first put on his spectacles, and then clicked on the video on the tablet player.
After watching for about three minutes, Dean Cao put down the tablet, took off his spectacles, rubbed his eyes, and closed his eyes to rest.
The video started off well. He was quite satisfied with the examiner's warnings to the candidates, and basically made all the key points he explained clear.
Then very quickly, the video turned into first-person parkour, the kind of extremely fast first-person parkour.
He is a bit old. It would have been fine if he had seen this kind of scene when he was young, but now, he feels a little dizzy and uncomfortable...
