"So, you were suddenly chased by the Ice Moon Bird, and in desperation, you used the tracking card to follow?"
Lin You looked at Guo Rui with a strange look in his eyes as he kept complaining.
"Yeah yeah."
Guo Rui nodded fiercely, then said angrily, "That feather-dropping bird is simply mentally ill. It targeted me for no apparent reason and caused me to suffer heavy losses."
"loss?"
Lin You asked curiously, "What can you possibly lose? Forget about the tracking card. Logically speaking, even if that Ice Moon Bird didn't chase you, you wouldn't have enough time to run around. You still have to give up the card."
"It's a huge loss."
Talking about this, Guo Rui was filled with depression and sighed, "You don't know, I was 'mining' at that time. The Ice Moon Forest is like that mine, there are countless good things buried inside."
"Is there such a thing?"
"Yes, Lin You, you may not believe it, but I think money is very important for this assessment."
"Money?"
Lin You was a little surprised. Guo Rui seemed quite knowledgeable. However, considering what he had done in the Magic Pressure Building before, it was not surprising that he would come up with the idea of getting money.
"That's right."
Guo Rui said confidently, "Lin You, since you know about tracking cards, you should have also discovered the card shop in your area. The cards in the card shop have extraordinary effects and require gold coins to buy."
"The point is, I don't believe there are only that many card types. As you progress, there will definitely be more card types and stronger effects. However, earning money won't necessarily be as easy as it was at the beginning, so earning money should be done as early as possible."
"So, your loss is the remaining 'mining' time?"
Lin You understood now.
"Yeah, you said that the Ice Moon Bird deserved to die or not, it was just looking for trouble!"
Guo Rui was so angry that his lungs were about to explode. No one would compensate for this loss!
Lin You's expression changed slightly, but he quickly recovered. He coughed twice inwardly and righteously condemned, "Indeed, perhaps birds also have menopause."
"I'm so unlucky."
Guo Rui was filled with grief and indignation. He sighed heavily and said, "Forget it. I don't want to think about this anymore. Lin You, I finally met you. I have to ask you to protect me. I'm very weak."
Is that not easy for you?
A tracking card!
Also, this is the first time I've seen someone describe themselves as "weak" so straightforwardly and naturally. You are indeed a talented person.
Seeing that Lin You didn't say anything, Guo Rui hurriedly said, "Lin You, it's the same as before. We are working together and your efforts will not be in vain."
"cooperate?"
Lin You looked at Guo Rui in surprise. What else could this guy offer for cooperation?
As if knowing what he was thinking, Guo Rui quickly said: "I have money, a lot of money!"
"You mean gold coins?"
"Yes, during the assessment, gold coins should be exchangeable. If you don't believe me, let's experiment now."
As he said this, Guo Rui took out a gold coin and handed it to Lin You.
The face value of this gold coin is 10.
Lin You took the gold coins, and sure enough, the gold coins were calculated for him.
Gold coins can be gifted to each other!
"You said you have a lot of money, how much exactly?"
Lin You began to become interested, but before Guo Rui could answer, an assessment prompt suddenly popped up.
【The first round of shrinking circles has ended, and the gold coin reward function is now open. In a specific area, every time you 'kill' an enemy, you will be rewarded with 50 gold coins! 】
Bonus coins?!
Hearing this prompt, Lin You immediately opened the map and found that the entire city was marked with gold coin patterns.
This is undoubtedly one of those specific areas.
After the first round of shrinking, the examination island began to encourage candidates to fight actively.
In addition, the importance of "gold coins" was specifically emphasized as a reminder to prevent candidates who have not figured out the gold coin system in the first round from being clueless in the second round.
And the candidates who were already committed to fighting will undoubtedly fight even harder at this moment.
The city where Lin You lives will also evolve into a veritable duel city.
There doesn't seem to be any safe zone here.
Of course, this cannot be determined at the moment.
"Looks like it's time to do something big."
Lin You couldn't help but smile. Spending so much time on making money didn't mean he had forgotten the real purpose of the assessment.
Fight, then win.
This is the root of everything.
Guo Rui looked at the smile on Lin You's face and felt his scalp tingling for no reason.
Especially when I think about the prompt box that popped up just now, I feel even more nervous. Is it possible that they are going to use me as a target?
Just as he was about to say something, he heard Lin You say, "Let's go find someone first."
"...Ah, what, looking for someone? Fine."
Guo Rui was shocked at first and thought it was all over, but after hearing it clearly, he immediately felt relieved.
No matter what it is, since Lin You is willing to take him with him, it means that the cooperation has been achieved.
He hugged this thick thigh!
Not only did he have to hold him up, but he also had to hold him tightly. Guo Rui hurriedly followed Lin You's footsteps.
"Coolie~"
Li Ziqiu was still in charge of leading the way. Due to the nature of the tracking card, Xia Mu must be not far away.
Li Ziqiu knew what Xia Mu's aura was like, so he quickly determined Xia Mu's specific location.
That's right.
The person Lin You was looking for was Xia Mu. Such a great rule naturally required a like-minded partner.
The most important thing is to be strong enough.
One goal is 50 gold coins, and there are also points to be earned. If I don’t do a big sweep, I will be letting myself down and going against the assessment rules of this round!
…
"Well, Lin You, you are here too?"
In an inconspicuous alley, Li Ziqiu found Xia Mu. Xia Mu seemed a little surprised when he saw Lin You.
"The tracking card followed."
Lin You did not hide it either.
Xia Mu felt relieved and couldn't help but smile: "It's too late to shrink the circle, right?"
"I don't have time."
Lin You nodded and said, "The task was too tight. I struggled for a long time, but I managed to complete it."
"Your choice is right."
Xia Mu smiled and said, "Once the first round of missions fails, the second round of missions will be downgraded. Losing the opportunity for a B-level mission in vain is a huge loss."
"B-rank mission? Isn't it C-rank?"
Guo Rui couldn't help but interrupt.
Xia Mu looked at him with some doubt in his eyes, and Lin You casually explained: "This guy wants to cooperate with us."
"us?"
Xia Mu was stunned for a moment, but then he smiled and said, "It's really timely that you can come here at this time, otherwise it would be a pity to miss this round."
Lin You naturally understood what he meant and said with a smile, "Yes, such a good rule, it would be a huge waste if we don't start a massacre."
"It seems that you have long realized the importance of gold coins."
"Fortunately, I realized it, otherwise the loss would be huge."
Lin You smiled, then turned serious and said, "How about we join forces and kill him?"
"Just what I want."
Xia Mu smiled and nodded. The cooperation was established quite quickly.
"Wait, let's not mince words."
Guo Rui quickly raised his hand to stop them, then met their gazes and said with a smile, "I'm also part of the partnership. In terms of strength, I don't have any, so I'm begging for your protection. But when it comes to giving money, I'm not necessarily any less than you two."
"Really? How many gold coins do you have?"
Lin You didn't care too much. It was not as easy as he thought to transfer money. Even if Guo Rui transferred the money early, the maximum he could get was only 300 or 400 gold coins. Could it be more?
"1100."
"How many?"
Lin You felt like he was hallucinating, and Xia Mu's eyes also showed a strange light.
"1100."
Guo Rui said in a low voice, "Hey, I know it's still a little short, but there's nothing I can do. I got screwed by that damn Ice Moon Bird and lost a lot of money. Now this is all I have left."
The more he talked about it, the more wronged he felt.
Lin You and Xia Mu looked at each other and said in unison: "Join forces!"
"ah?"
Guo Rui was stunned for a moment, but then he said ecstatically, "Really? Are you really willing to take me with you?"
"Of course, the relationship is there."
Lin You said it as a matter of course, "We have already established a partnership before, so it is only natural for us to continue this partnership now."
"That's great, Lin You, you're really nice."
Guo Rui was ecstatic. With Lin You as his partner, why would he worry about not getting good grades in this test?
Don't ask for much.
It’s enough to be able to get into Class B.
Guo Rui's own talent is average. His results in the entrance examination are not bad, but not outstanding either. He is the type who will definitely be admitted to Class C but will have difficulty in getting into Class B.
But now, Class B is stable!
Besides, it’s not just Lin You, there’s also the person next to him.
Although I don’t know who he is, since he knows Lin You, he is likely an advanced student.
With two advanced students escorting you, are you still worried about not getting good results?
In fact, Guo Rui still underestimated the role of gold coins.
With these gold coins, he has a chance to get very good results even on his own.
"Now, what should we do?"
After confirming the cooperative relationship, Guo Rui felt much more at ease and couldn't help asking.
Lin You said decisively, "Just do it. I don't know how long this round will last. Just search for the target as much as possible. If you come across a card shop along the way, you can check it out. This new area should have a new card shop and new types of cards."
"That's what I thought."
Xia Mu nodded in agreement, but then thought of something and asked, "In the card shop you came across before, how many types of cards were sold, and what was the purchase limit?"
"Five."
Lin You immediately said, "They are Magic Card, Tracking Card, Destination Card, Return Card, and Capture Card."
"Trapper Card?"
Xia Mu and Guo Rui both exclaimed in surprise.
"So, the card shops you've come across don't include beast trap cards?"
"Yes, but I have a 'Treasure Hunt Card' here. It's a very powerful card. It's a pity that the purchase is limited to three. Otherwise, I could make more money."
As he spoke, Guo Rui shook his head with some regret.
Xia Mu said, "It seems that the purchase of cards is limited to three, and each starting point has four identical popular cards and one different special card. My special card is the 'Revelation Card'."
"Revelation card?"
Lin You was a little surprised, as the name of this card sounded like it was one of the highest-end cards.
Knowing the two were curious, Xia Mu immediately explained, "This card is mainly used for 'missions'. It has the function of 'revealing' the key points of the mission. It was because of this card that I was able to complete the mission relatively smoothly."
Mission revelation?
The effect is also very good!
Especially now.
Lin You couldn't help but see stars and said, "This is a good card!"
"B-rank missions should be much easier with this revelation."
Xia Mu also smiled and said, "I'll give you one later to help you complete the B-level task."
"Great job, Lao Xia!"
Lin You clapped his hands in praise. He was indeed coveting this revelation card, otherwise he would have been confused about the Night Tree mission.
Although the pattern on the card is a hint at the beginning of the mission, who knows where the Night Tree grows?
"Okay, now, let's get started."
Not thinking about the mission for the time being, Lin You began to focus on the current situation.
"Do you want to go explore first?"
Guo Rui asked aloud, this place is too big, and finding the target is not as easy as imagined.
"That's not necessary."
Lin You smiled, activated his magic power, and the summoning light flashed, and a combat boat appeared.
Land-based combat boat
Mechanical family, earth attribute.
Attack power/1500, defense power/1000.
…
Seeing this monster, Guo Rui was a little confused. What did he want to do by summoning this monster at this time?
Xia Mu also took a look, but couldn't see anything special from it, but he also summoned the monster.
It was his Origin Card, Lady of Destiny, Letty.
When Guo Rui saw this card, he was immediately surprised.
This was naturally due to the double '? ' displayed on Letty's offensive and defensive data panel.
This was the first time he had seen this kind of monster.
When Letty appeared, a faint golden light immediately emerged from her body.
This is actually her special effect, which can increase her life level by one level.
But it does not jump directly from the white star to the black star.
White Star Monsters, in terms of life levels alone, actually have four levels, but the differences between the four levels are not obvious.
Only by breaking through to the fifth level can it be considered a true life leap, from the white star to the black star.
And immediately afterwards, Xia Mu activated another magic card.
A strange colorful light appeared, and as the light surged, the shadows of the Lady of Destiny flashed by one after another.
The magic card "Fate Leap" has the effect of offering five "Fate Girl" monsters in the deck as a sacrifice to increase the life level of a White Star "Fate Girl" monster by three and its attack power by 1000 points.
Letty's own attack and defense power depends on her life level × 200.
Therefore, her attack power reaches 2000 points and her defense power is 1000 points.
The most important thing is that Letty is now a Black Star-level monster.
This is the inside story of how Xia Mu's Origin Card completed the life transition.
“This aura…”
Guo Rui was a little stunned.
No way, no way?
Is this the Black Star Monster?
Who is this guy? Oh my god, he’s so awesome, he even created the Black Star monster?
Just as Guo Rui was horrified, the 30-second summoning interval passed.
The land-based combat boat in Linyou's field suddenly shattered, the summoning light flashed, the devil's roar was heard, and Baphomet appeared majestically in the field.
“???”
Frightened by the roar, Guo Rui looked over and felt the powerful aura emanating from Baphomet, and his brain froze on the spot.
This, this is also a Black Star Monster? !
Turn the world upside down!
Only "overwhelming" can describe Guo Rui's mood at the moment.
Is it because he has too little experience?
The new student summons a black star monster, or two of them?
This world is crazy!
There was also a glint in Xia Mu's eyes.
He didn't expect that Lin You could also summon the Black Star Monster, and the value of this summoning was higher than his.
It’s not about combat capability.
Although he also summoned the Black Star Monster, this was due to the life transition of the card.
Lady of Destiny, Letty, is his origin card, so the magic power required to complete this transition is greatly reduced, which allows him to complete this move relatively easily.
But how did Linyou do it?
He clearly remembered that although Lin You was the best in the field in terms of magic fusion potential, his total magic power was at the bottom.
Even if he had made some progress in the past few days, the time was too short and he would not be able to meet the 200 magic points required to summon the Black Star Monster.
Xia Mu was a little confused, but he didn't dig deeper into the matter.
Everyone has his or her own secrets.
Lin You’s ability to summon the Black Star Monster must involve his own secrets.
But no matter what, having two black star monsters is a huge bargaining chip in the battle.
"Let's go, get ready."
Lin You smiled and was the first to jump onto Baphomet's back.
Xia Mu followed closely behind, and Letty joined him.
"If you don't come up, I'll leave you here."
Lin You glanced at Guo Rui who was still in a daze, knowing that he was quite frightened, but he still smiled and teased him.
"oh oh."
Guo Rui suddenly came to his senses and was the last one to board Baphomet.
Three people and one beast have completely occupied Baphomet's "passenger space", but this does not affect its flying speed at all.
"Coolie~"
Liziqiu sat on Lin You's shoulder. It was also a key part of the battle plan and was responsible for searching for targets.
The little guy's perception ability can undoubtedly be maximized in this empty city without any external interference.
As long as you catch a glimpse of it, you can chase it directly, and it must be the candidate.
At this moment, Baphomet also spread his white wings, flapped them quickly, and flew at high speed.
The hunt begins!
…
Inside a jewelry store.
A candidate was hiding here, opening a map and studying the route to leave the city.
His ability was average, and he didn't expect to have a conflict with other candidates in such a place, as he had no room to maneuver.
Of course, if he was lucky enough to see someone walking into this store, he could consider a surprise attack.
There are still considerable advantages in taking the initiative.
Just as he was thinking this, a loud roar suddenly spread out.
A huge hole suddenly appeared in the ceiling of the jewelry store, and a figure flew through it.
Before he could react, the sharp claws tore through his body one after another.
Bang!
The soul barrier is broken.
A faint blue light emerged, and the unfortunate candidate was still thinking of a solution and had not yet understood what was happening when he was sent back home by Baphomet's claws.
Clean and neat, 3 points were obtained.
"That's all?"
Lin You was a little disappointed, but fortunately, after searching for just a few minutes, he successfully caught the first lone target.
This efficiency is pretty good, not to mention, there are 50 gold coins to be gained.
Guo Rui said excitedly, "Isn't this too exciting?"
Is this the thrill of instant kill?
It was his first time experiencing this!
It feels great to have two monsters as teammates!
“I hope this session can last longer.”
Lin You spoke with some anticipation. The efficiency of making money was no slower than his hunting of Wilmi.
One person would get 50, and if you catch a small team, you would make a fortune.
He doesn't care about the number of people. After joining forces with Xia Mu, if the team is composed of ordinary students, they will still be vulnerable in front of them.
Feeling the heat in Lin You's eyes, Xia Mu couldn't help but smile.
He suddenly felt that those candidates who came to this city were somewhat pitiful.
