"I didn't expect that I would have the opportunity to come back here so soon."
The familiar smell of sand and stone and the towering towers leading to the sky.
The secret realm of knights, a place of trial for warriors, is in some sense an important tourist attraction in the ancient city, and people from neighboring cities often come here to "visit" it.
"...I can't understand why, since this is a civil war between candidates, the immortality rules of the Forest Secret Realm are not used."
"Getting used to death is quite bad for a warrior, meow. And I heard that the so-called 'resurrection' in the secret realm is not completely free, meow. Don't ask me what the price is, my brother just said that you can't die casually, meow. "
Lu Pingan nodded thoughtfully, which was a reasonable answer.
Compared with Lu Ping'an's calm face, Maomao was a little nervous.
She got a high score of about 20.8, and if she scored half of the last five points, she should be able to successfully enroll... But the more marginalized candidates are, the closer they are to success, the greater the psychological pressure.
Today she was wearing light short clothes, holding a pair of steel claws in each hand, and even had a dagger hanging on her tail, so she was fully armed.
He took two steps and jumped subconsciously. The cat's hair was standing on end, and he was obviously in a state of high tension.
"...Come on, have some candy and relax."
Lu Pingan casually grabbed a handful of candies and fruits and stuffed them in front of the little girl.
Lei Shuiyun sighed helplessly. She looked young, but she was not a real little girl.
"...I am not a child anymore."
"Then you won't eat?"
With that said, Lu Ping'an took two of them himself, and the fragrance of the fruit spread instantly.
"eat."
The two of them sat on the steps of the square, waiting for the examiner's final preparations.
"It tastes good. This fruit...cough, I just woke up too early in the morning and couldn't eat breakfast. I'm a little hungry now."
"As long as you like it, it's home grown."
Lu Ping'an smiled and didn't say much.
"Here, let me show you another treasure. Give me that business card."
"Oh, this..."
With that said, Lei Shuiyun handed over the "Black Iron VIP" card.
[Customer Lei Shuiyun. Credit Rating: Black Iron (39 points). Currently additional open features: remote credit investment. 】
Lu Pingan wiped it on and then handed it to Maomao.
[Customer Lei Shuiyun. Credit Rating: Black Iron (39 points). Currently additional open functions: deferred payment of life (limited to 3 days of payment, current permission is only once a day). 】
In an instant, the cat's tail and ears stood up.
"...What the hell is this!"
With just a moment of touch, the voice of rules told her how to use this ability.
"Aren't you very curious about my ability to heal and restore physical strength? That's it. But I can only recover 2/3 on the spot, and the 'price' will be paid at the same time in the next two days. Remember, there is only one chance, Use it at critical moments."
In an instant, Maomao's eyes changed.
She's not stupid, she knows what this ability to heal instantly means.
In actual combat, this is like opening a cheating device and giving him a second life.
Once you encounter a strong enemy that is impossible to defeat, you can use the skill of "exchanging injuries for lives" to forcefully win the key game and increase the final total score.
"...This, this, is too heavy..."
"Stop it, you don't want me to help you change it back!"
"You dare! Well, I know you dare...Thank you, meow."
After this episode, Maomao was no longer shaken, happily took the card and went to the side to queue up.
With a "second life" but still unable to obtain admission qualifications, you can really consider going back to find a class.
"Meow, if anything good happens in the future, don't forget me, meow!"
Before leaving, she said hello with a blushing face.
Maomao also realized that with just this small card, Lu Ping An could become the so-called "gold medal assistant" and form a team with himself as the core.
"Ouch, it's so hot."
Lu Pingan sat on the steps, spread out his windbreaker, and tried to dissipate heat.
In fact, when today came, Lei Shuiyun's expression was quite subtle when she looked at Lu Ping'an's big black windbreaker.
It's already early June, and the weather is already getting hotter. What's the point of your big black windbreaker that can be used as a quilt? You think you're not fancy enough to attract attention.
But Maomao didn't ask, because there were more strange people around, and Lu Pingping at least looked like he was wearing the same clothes.
"Metal armor, vine leather armor, swimsuit, a few rags, naked lower body, this is nothing to me... Uh, this guy with naked lower body doesn't seem to be a candidate? Oh, there is no way to take the test again. Former candidate?!"
A group of school security guards came over and took the crazy candidate away.
The assassin who dresses up like Maomao in short clothes and cloak is actually considered a normal person.
Many people dressed up like they were from a time-travel drama, including Taoist priests, monks, and Onmyoji, including Lu Ping'an. Assassin's Creed can at least be played for several seasons.
Lu Ping'an can understand their approach. Some combat abilities require corresponding prerequisites.
He wears a long black trench coat to match his fighting style.
And watching the people in the queue in front disappear one by one, Lu Ping'an also stood up.
"I hope your luck will be better this time. Master Knight, please stop playing this trick..."
This time, it is a duel between candidates, but there is also a lot of luck involved.
Early in the morning, a bishop from the Rusty Knight Church came over and turned off the PVE (player versus monster) mode and locked the "PVP (mode)" in one operation.
When a trialist enters it, they will only encounter other trialists, and the loser will end the trial.
Given the same three opportunities, it is very likely that some people will come out in ten minutes, while others will have to fight for a whole day.
"...Don't be the third level, don't be the third level. Oh, oh, normal people, great!"
Lu Pingan, who had just entered the secret realm, smiled, but the young man opposite cried.
"I abstain!"
Before Lu Ping'an could draw his battle ax, the opponent gave up without hesitation.
Intelligence is also the focus of the secret keeper's preparation. The candidates who stand out in the first round of "exams" will have their information leaked to some extent, not to mention the ones like Lu Ping'an.
Even if you haven't done a good job in intelligence work, there are still people selling basic information on the top 100 people at a high price at the vendors outside the square.
The teacher doesn't care? It’s the teacher who is selling it! There are also some stalls for part-time seniors.
It’s extremely expensive, but it sells extremely well, and the content inside is exceptional.
How did Lu Ping'an know? He had a copy in his arms. Although the quality was poor, the money had to be spent.
Being able to understand your opponent's intelligence before the war, a little money is nothing... In a sense, this also prevents some fools from holding on and leaving fatal wounds.
"Why."
Looking at the opponent who had disappeared, he put down his battle ax. Although Lu Ping'an felt a little regretful, he walked to the next level without hesitation... Take advantage of the fact that all the novices didn't get out, so he took the time to kill a few more.
For the weak, since there are three chances, quickly giving up when encountering an impossible opponent can not only preserve physical strength but also avoid injuries. It is also a necessary strategy.
After all, the final test score not only depends on the strength of the opponents you defeated, but also on your number of wins and winning streaks. The teacher will also give you an impression score based on the actual combat video.
Each candidate is both a hunter and a prey. In the end, a "standard score" will be set for them based on the actual combat results, and only by defeating them can they get this score.
To put it simply, defeating a second-level player will probably result in more points than if you beat a first-level player ten times in a row.
This is still not a completely fair test, luck is also very important.
If you encounter three third-level players in a row, even Lu Pingping will probably leave with a guaranteed score.
"...I'm such a mouthful. Master Knight, can you let me go? Let me seize the early time and kill more chickens to get some guaranteed points."
Lu Pingan sighed helplessly. It was only on the second level, so it was not a chicken that could be killed casually.
"Candidate ranked 59th, second-level professional, 'Moving Dune' Sun Xingwen."
Lu Ping'an could spot him at a glance because in a sense, this was another ability value to restrain himself.
But Lu Pingan also knows that in a sense, this is the most suitable matchup for him.
The points needed to enter Guda University are actually enough. The guaranteed points are important to others but almost meaningless to him.
If you want to get rankings and bonuses, you can only defeat the strong ones one by one and get their standard points!
"Okay, let's fight quickly, I want to kill more chickens."
