Chapter 77: Chapter 76: Practical Assessment Begins
Translator: 549690339 °
Soon, the results of the first two rounds of the assessment were out, and the list of competitors eligible for the next round of the practical test was displayed on the big screen at the foot of Danggu Mountain.
“Wow, 9,527 candidates passed the first two rounds, two-thirds of them are from Lingxi City. Just how over-the-top can this get?”
Bai Qi glimpsed at the list on the screen, and couldn’t help smacking his lips. No wonder Old Qin demanded that he must win first place. They clearly gave up on the lower end of the market.
However, the Beast Masters from Lingxi City were really overdoing it, each of the scores was just unbelievable.
“Attention, candidates. The third-round practical test will start at 1 p.m. sharp, all candidates should get prepared in advance.”
The practical test will be a wilderness survival exercise, a large number of ferocious beasts have been released in the Danggu Mountain, posing potential threats, yet also hiding ample resources.”
“According to the regulations of the exam, all resources obtained during the exercise will belong to the examinee.”
Resources will be the examinee’s property? How could this be?
Listening to this, Bai Qi’s eyes sparkled. With Husky, the canine radar, wouldn’t the resources in Danggu Mountain be at their disposal?
Moreover, he just received a new Secret Realm Ring, which could be used to store resources.
He couldn’t help but feel that Old Qin deliberately gave him the Secret Realm Ring around this time.
Achoo.
In the monitoring room, President Qin suddenly sneezed for no reason, looking rather puzzled.
How could he suddenly sneeze during such hot weather? That must be some audacious soul thinking about him.
President Qin glanced at the distribution map of resources and ferocious beasts in Danggu Mountain, his eyes flickered with speculation.
Just how far could these youngsters go?
Time flew by, and Bai Qi received his unique task.
In order to fully assess each candidate’s strength, the association would design targeted missions based on the first round’s assessment of the pet.
Missions:
A: Hunt a Light Feather Bird.
B: Collect a piece of thunder ore.
C: Hunt a Steel Scaled Snake.
What’s this? Is there no room left for survival at all?
Having to go after the Light Feather Bird and the thunder ore was now beyond the question of whether it could be done or found. They had seemingly decided not to let Alpha, this undead creature, get anywhere near them.
Especially the thunder ore, there were bound to be ferocious beasts guarding the vicinity of this type of attribute-bearing ore, and its attribute was probably thunder, this was too clearly targeted.
As for the Steel Scaled Snake, this creature lived underground for years and disliked fighting. One would usually not be able to find it unless one had the ability to burrow.
Just who so rudely set this overtly targeted mission? No wonder Gao Cheng couldn’t pass the examination year after year.
Bai Qi, however, was not too worried. These missions were only targeted at Alpha, not at Husky. It could even be said that these three missions were basically a pure giveaway for Husky.
Indeed, having two pets with different attributes was a beautiful thing.
Complete the missions first thing after the assessment starts and then start collecting resources.”
Bai Qi laid out the general plan and followed the guide of the examiner into Danggu Mountain.
The atmosphere within Danggu Mountain was nothing like the one beside Taize Lake because of the numerous ferocious creatures released. It made one feel as if they had arrived at a vast primitive forest.
In fact, with the scale of Danggu Mountain, it was not any different from the primeval forests of Bai Qi’s previous life.
Looking at the dark forest in front of him, Bai Qi involuntarily shuddered and quickly summoned his pets.
“Alpha, stay nearby to protect me. Husky, you look for these targets.”
Bai Qi relayed the three mission objectives to Husky, who, however, exhibited a reluctant look.
Woof Woof! Woof Woof!
(“I’ve been immersed in studying recently and don’t have time for these trivial matters.”)
Seeing this, Bai Qi widened his grin and said, “You believe it or not; I can get your gear stripped down right now?”
Awooo?
(“Did I just say something?”)
Bai Qi patted Husky, telling both
Persistent Pain Galaxy B-0655 of his pets about the mission and rewards of this trial.
The practical test will last until six a.m. tomorrow, and all resources found during this period will be ours. We’ll be left empty-handed if we’re late.” When Bai Qi brought this up, Husky immediately understood, and he suddenly looked ferocious. He barked towards Danggu Mountain ahead.
(“The resources here are mine, as far as I’m concerned. Even a legend cannot take them.”)
Seeing Husky like this, Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction, while Alpha on the side was still somewhat bewildered.
Crack. Crack.
(“Resources, are they edible?”)
While Alpha’s intelligence was growing, it was all manifested in battle. His enlightenment in other aspects was almost nil, he didn’t understand why its Master and Husky were so excited.
“So, where should we start exploring?”
Bai Qi looked around, seeing only clusters of deep fog, he was unable to detect his exact location.
To avoid conflicts arising too early, the staff members had transported the participants to different locations utilizing flight system beasts before the assessment.
Then let’s advance toward the top of the mountain along this path. The best resources should be at the highest point.”
Bai Qi looked at the peak that was just visible through the fog and instructed Husky to move swiftly.
“Husky, remember to watch out for resources along the way, anything will do.” Since he had the Secret Space, it wouldn’t matter how much he took. It would be a waste not to take them.
Woof Woof!
They hadn’t walked far before Husky started barking at something ahead.
Alpha instantly prepared for battle as well.
“What, enemy?”
Bai Qi looked around nervously. The fog here remained dense. If they encountered a toxic beast ambush, while the two beasts may be unharmed, he would certainly be in trouble.
Awooo?
( Enemy? Didn’t you tell me to find resources?”)
Husky looked at Bai Qi with disdain, then jumped up to a tall tree and teased a white flower before bringing it to Bai Qi.
[Name]: God’s Flower
[Description]: medicinal herb, can be used to produce God’s Water
This was a pretty good find, too bad he didn’t have the recipe to produce God’s Water.
Bai Qi put the God’s Flower into the Secret Space. Just as he was thinking about praising Husky, he noticed that Husky was digging something under the tree where he found God’s Flower.
Did he find another resource? This detection capability was just too impressive.
Seeing Husky’s actions, Bai Qi’s eyes sparkled, feeling increasingly convinced that contracting with Husky was the right choice.
However, seeing Husky burying a stone with an explosion rune carved on it in a deep hole, Bai Qi’s eyes twitched involuntarily.
“Husky, what are you doing?”
Woof Woof!
(“Marking, what if we get lost?”)
“Why do you need to use an explosion rune for marking? Don’t you guys usually do it with urine?”
Awooo…
(“As a knowledgeable wolf, marking with urine is vulgar.. I can’t do it!”)
