The moment Xia Yan finished speaking.
The entire Welcome Square suddenly felt a slight tremor, which quickly expanded within a few seconds.
The shaking was so violent, like an earthquake, that the students in the square could hardly stand.
At this moment, a strong dark blue light shot up into the sky.
The ground of the square was rapidly rendered dark blue.
Lin You stumbled and almost lost his balance, but fortunately Li Ziqiu grabbed him in time, and many people fell to the ground.
But at this moment, a large blue hole appeared on the surface of the square.
Everyone fell directly into the big hole, and Lin You, who had just stabilized his feet, also fell in.
The assessment started quite suddenly.
…
Feeling of falling.
A constant feeling of falling.
The surrounding environment has become a deep blue space.
Lin You wanted to turn his body around, but he was powerless. Even though the chestnut ball floating in the air grabbed him, the feeling of falling remained the same.
The feeling of falling lasted for a full minute, and a strong white light suddenly engulfed Lin You's vision and consciousness.
Plop.
Lin You fell onto a patch of grass, sending grass debris flying everywhere.
Feeling a little pain, he couldn't help but curse, "This is a scam."
Despite cursing, Lin You quickly stood up and looked around.
I found myself on a low hill. A few hundred meters away from the foot of the hill, I could clearly see a small town. Smoke was rising from the town, and I could feel the hustle and bustle from a long distance away.
But without looking at it for long, Lin You suddenly remembered something and searched his body.
"Gone?"
Lin You panicked, but quickly activated his magic power. Driven by the magic power, a card ejected from the duel disk.
The color of the cards and magic is exactly the same, dark blue, which is what Xia Yan gave to everyone before the assessment began.
This card does not occupy a card slot, or the main card slot.
Popped out from the extra card slot.
After the card appeared, a faint white halo suddenly lit up. The halo flickered and finally condensed into a number.
30!
Seeing this number, Lin You couldn't help but show joy on his face.
Xia Yan said that the numbers on the cards symbolize the initial duel points of each contestant.
This value is determined by the performance in the entrance examination.
Lin You performed well, with 30 duel points, which is quite reasonable.
Just as I was feeling happy, a strange scene suddenly happened.
The number 30 on the surface of the card flew out of the card after it appeared, as if it was being peeled off.
"What does this mean?"
Lin You was stunned, but something even more shocking was yet to come.
After the number 30 floated out, there was a slight tremor, and a voice came from it, "Candidate number 27, name Lin You, the examination officially begins."
The moment the words fell, a faint blue light flashed, and a gray card condensed and fell in front of Lin You.
Then, the voice sounded again, "The current card collection mission has been released: Moon Frozen Wilmi, mission difficulty: C level, mission reward: 100 gold coins."
Lin You stared blankly at the gray card. On the card, there was an image of a huge brown rabbit, and a noble purple glow lingered around the rabbit.
The gray card lasted for a few seconds before suddenly disappearing.
The number '30' also returns to the dark blue card.
Everything returned to calm, but Lin You was still a little confused.
What's the meaning?
What is Moon Frozen Wilmi?
Is this the collection task that the vice-principal mentioned?
Lin You was a little confused and frowned as he thought for a while.
There is no doubt that
Moon Frozen Wilmi should be related to the gray card.
Maybe it's a monster card from this world.
Is the collection mission to find this monster card, or simply to find and defeat this monster?
What Lin You cares about most is what the gold coins mentioned in the mission rewards are. Shouldn’t they be duel points?
Or can gold coins be exchanged for duel points at a certain ratio?
Mostly so!
Thinking of this, Lin You roughly understood what this assessment meant.
Not only the confrontation between candidates, but also completing the assessment tasks can also accumulate duel points.
And only after completing the task will you have the right to choose whether to stay or leave.
"Then, the first priority is to find Moon Frozen Wilmi. During the search, find a way to defeat other duelists you encounter to gain more benefits."
After sorting out his thoughts, Lin You was no longer in a hurry.
Although there is no clue about Yuedong Wilmi yet, the assessment has just begun and there is plenty of time.
His eyes naturally looked towards the small town not far from the foot of the mountain, and a smile appeared on Lin You's face.
Let's go there first and see if we can find any clues.
The difficulty of the mission is C-level, so the clue may be nearby.
The school is quite fun.
It would have been fine if they had just issued the mission, but they also specifically set a level of difficulty. Lin You almost thought he was playing a virtual stealth game.
If that's the case, we have to find a way to move the entire map.
Without further delay, Lin You hurried down the mountain.
…
In the town.
As soon as he walked in, Lin You received two prompt messages.
Two prompt boxes with a futuristic sense of technology also popped up in front of me.
【You have entered the safe zone 'Food Town'. Regular cards cannot be activated in the safe zone.】
【The safety zone is an absolutely safe area. The maximum stay time for a single visit is half an hour. After leaving, you need to wait ten minutes to enter again.】
"There's a safe zone?"
Lin You was a little impressed. The design of this magic field was really becoming more and more like a game.
Having said that.
Looking at the people coming and going around him, Lin You couldn't help but marvel in his heart.
These people should also be part of the 'game', but even if you look closely, you can't see any difference between them and normal people, and you can't feel any trace of NPCs.
At least that's how it was before the conversation.
After the conversation, the truth might be revealed.
It would be even more outrageous if even the dialogue was perfect.
The power of cards is truly mysterious.
Walking quickly on the street, you will see that the most common shops on both sides of the street are restaurants, and the aroma of various foods fills the air.
Some of them, even Lin You, who is not very particular about food, would have an urge to go and taste them just by smelling the flavor.
It is indeed a gourmet town.
Lin You didn't doubt the authenticity of those delicacies at all.
Not only is it fragrant, but most importantly, it is not virtual, but something you can actually eat and fill your stomach!
Many people sat at the door of the store and ate the plump and juicy barbecue.
He didn't know what kind of meat it was, but Lin You was sure that he had never eaten it before. It was most likely the meat of some monster.
Looking at these people, Lin You suddenly thought, could there be other candidates mixed in among them at this moment?
It is difficult to distinguish.
If there is any danger, it would be a good idea to suddenly hide in a safe zone.
The detention time was not short, a full half an hour!
After walking around for a while, Lin You couldn't find any useful clues, so he simply walked into a restaurant.
The restaurant is not big and the interior is very deserted, but the sign of this restaurant is very strong——
Dragon meat barbecue!
It is indeed a ruthless place with ruthless people. They even roasted dragons. Maybe they know something about Guan Yuedong and Wilmi.
As Lin You walked into the restaurant, a rough voice was heard.
"Sir, would you like to try our first offering, the Demonic Evil Dragon Meat? It's absolutely top-quality meat. One piece strengthens your body, two strengthens your bones, and three prolongs your life."
The person who spoke was a tall and strong man with a big beard, wearing a white apron for home. It seemed that having guests was a rare thing for him. When he saw Lin You, his eyes lit up.
Lin You was slightly stunned. He looked at his terrifyingly strong biceps, and then at the home apron.
The sense of disobedience is overwhelming.
Lin You secretly complained, but he didn't pay much attention to it. He said directly: "Uncle, I have something to ask you before spending money."
Seeing that he was interested in spending money, the bearded man's eyes lit up and he nodded without hesitation, "Ask whatever you want. Whether it's in town or outside, I know everything, big or small. To be frank, I know the most about this whole town."
Is this true or false?
Am I so lucky?
Is it right to ask just anyone?
Lin You suspected that the bearded man was bragging, but then he thought again that this was a character created during the assessment and most likely he didn't have this hobby.
"Uncle, have you ever heard of Moon Frozen Wilmi?"
"Moon Frozen Wilmi?"
The bearded man was slightly stunned. Seeing his expression, Lin You secretly thought that something was wrong, but then he heard him say with a strange look on his face, "Young man, I don't know where you are from. Moon Frozen Wilmi is very famous in this town. It is the most delicious and dreamlike existence. It is the dish that all chefs dream of."
"Although I'm just a dragon slayer, I also long to make a 'Moon Frozen Wilmi' myself."
Just a dragon slayer...
Why does this sound so awkward?
Having an idea, Lin You immediately asked, "Uncle, can you also make this dish?"
"Of course, according to the recipes left by the ancestors of the Gourmet Town, it can be seen that the preparation of Moon Frozen Wilmi is not complicated. Any chef in the town can basically make it."
"So, the reason for the dream is the ingredients?"
Lin You thought of this immediately.
The uncle confirmed, "Yes, to make Moon Jelly Wilmi, you need to collect two ingredients. The first is Wilmi. Wilmi actually lives in the forest nearby. It's a very ferocious rabbit with very strong fighting power. The chefs in this town basically don't have the ability to hunt this kind of food. Even if they could, they would still face life-threatening dangers."
"Many chefs in this town have died under Wilmi's sharp claws, so no one has tried it in recent years."
"Of course, this is also related to the second, more valuable ingredient, 'Moon Ice Essence'. Moon Ice Essence is the Ice Moon substance secreted by the Ice Moon Bird when it is incubating eggs. The Ice Moon substance, or 'Moon Ice Essence', when mixed with the meat of Wilmi, will produce an unimaginable delicacy, which is the Moon Frozen Wilmi."
It sounds complicated.
Is this just a C-rank mission?
Lin You suddenly felt a little overwhelmed, but he continued to ask: "Uncle, are there any Ice Moon Birds living around here?"
"No, the Ice Moon Bird is said to live in the remote Ice Moon Valley, which is too far from the town and full of dangers. No one dares to go there."
Ice Moon Valley.
After noting down this place, Lin You felt relieved. At least he had a clue and didn't have to run around like a headless fly.
Lin You was in a good mood after getting the answer he wanted. He thanked him, "Thank you very much, uncle."
"It's a small matter, young man. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask."
"No, uncle, I still have something to do. I'll come to you again when I have the chance. I'll be sorry to bother you then."
"Okay, uncle lives in the store, just come directly if you have anything."
After saying that, she watched Lin You leave with a bright smile on her face.
Suddenly, the uncle's face froze. Did I forget something?
…
Outside the town.
Just as he walked out of the town, Lin You suddenly received another reminder.
【The ranking list has been opened, and the top three candidates and their numbers are now announced】
First place: Deng Zhuo, No. 43, points: 55
Second place: Wan Yibin, No. 18, points: 47
Third place: Xia Mu, No. 20, points: 35
…
Lin You was a little surprised when he saw the rankings. The assessment had only just begun for less than half an hour, and these people had already received points? And quite a few at that?
These points represent duel points.
Xia Mu is fine, what about Wan Yibin and Deng Zhuo?
Deng Zhuo, if I remember correctly, should be the second-best student in Guangmu High School.
Lin You was not too anxious. Unless there was an opportunity to earn points, he could put it aside for now.
Anyway, you can earn more by intercepting those high-scoring students.
I just don’t know how big this assessment island is. I heard that the activity range will be compressed later, but I don’t know where it will start.
This assessment was indeed more complicated than Lin You had imagined.
But he enjoyed it.
He likes challenging things, especially when he can reap corresponding benefits after the challenge.
"By the way, this should be the forest that uncle mentioned. It's quite close."
As he walked, Lin You came to the entrance of a forest.
The trees in this forest are tall and lush, and the air is filled with a natural green atmosphere.
That ferocious monster should be in this forest.
"coolie!"
Just as I was thinking about it, the chestnut ball that had been flying around suddenly gave me a reminder.
It felt the breath of magic.
More than one share.
"Let's go and take a look."
Lin You immediately perked up. It would be great if the owner of the breath was Wilmi.
"Coolie~"
Chestnut Ball led the way in front, while sensing the dangers around him.
I have to say that Chestnut Ball's perception ability is very convenient and powerful, and it helped Lin You a lot.
…
A few minutes later.
Lin You, hiding behind a sturdy tree, was quietly peeking at the open space in front of him.
In this open space, several monsters were fighting, and the light of magic and trap cards appeared from time to time.
The battle was not as evenly matched as imagined.
But it is one-sided.
It’s not that anyone crushed anyone else, but at this moment, the situation on the field was 2 vs. 1.
Two candidates joined forces and caught a student who was alone in the forest.
From this, it can be seen that Lin You is not the only one who has come to the vicinity of the food town.
On the scene, the battle soon came to an end.
The two candidates who joined together were quite strong. If they were taken out individually, they could easily deal with the lone student.
After the alliance, they formed an absolute crushing force.
Bang!
There was a sound of breaking.
The lone student's soul barrier was shattered, and he was enveloped by a faint blue light and disappeared on the spot.
Obviously, this was eliminated.
It's a bit tragic that I was eliminated at this point, so my points are naturally 0.
Lin You looked at the open space with some pity, but his feelings were not just directed at the candidate who had just been eliminated.
But everyone in the open space.
no way.
Now that we've encountered each other, it would be unreasonable not to take action.
now.
Having just dealt with a lone candidate, the two candidates were in a very good mood. They sat on a corner of a large raised rock, chatting and laughing with each other.
"Hu Dong, how was the harvest?"
"Not very good, a weakling, with only 3 duel points, and the lowest score when entering the school."
One person asked, while the other spoke with a hint of contempt.
"Three isn't bad. Aside from those who passed the advanced assessment, the difference in our scores shouldn't be that big."
"So I'm really envious of those advanced students. It would be great if I could catch a fat sheep that's straying off on its own."
The student named Hu Dong smiled ambitiously.
"Yeah, if you catch one, you'll make a lot of money."
The other person didn't think Hu Dong was wishful thinking.
It is true that the advanced students are very strong, but after all, they are still freshmen. It is basically impossible for them to fight two people alone.
Unless it is at the Rookie King level.
"Let's go, Zhang Yue, and look for more people. There might be other people nearby."
Hu Dong stood up and didn't plan to stay long.
But the moment he stood up, his eyes changed slightly.
The same was true for Zhang Yue. Both of their monsters captured the aura of monster magic.
Monsters' dueling instincts!
Although this instinct is not as strong as that of the monsters in the secret realm, they will naturally sense when the magic fluctuations approach.
At this moment, all the monsters they had not yet retrieved felt the sensation.
whoosh!
A sea-blue magic bullet flew out from behind a big tree.
Hu Dong's warrior monster didn't have time to react and was hit.
Bang!
There was a sound of breaking.
Hu Dong's face changed and he was killed instantly!
This attack power is quite powerful.
"There."
Zhang Yue had already spotted the Silent Magician standing next to the tree and said solemnly, "2300 attack points, he must have used an Equipment Magic Card."
He made an immediate judgment.
This is the deceptive nature of outdoor duels.
Since it was an encounter battle, the release process of some cards was not made public, so the duelists on both sides had no way of knowing what specific upgrades the enemy monsters had received.
"Get rid of her."
The panic only lasted for a moment, and Hu Dong quickly shouted loudly.
There are two of them.
How could I possibly be afraid of a monster with only slightly higher attack power?
"No matter who you are, if you come to me on your own initiative, you really overestimate yourself."
Hu Dong's gaze fell on a big tree. He had already noticed a figure hiding there and said in a cold voice.
The moment he finished speaking, Hu Dong raised his arm, the duel disk flashed, and he activated the cards continuously.
A warrior monster named Axe Rammer appeared with a strong build and holding a golden battle axe.
When this monster appears, a magic card is applied to it.
A light golden halo appeared above the Axe Crashers head. With the blessing of this halo, he took a sudden step forward and rushed towards the Silent Magician.
He had just taken two steps when he swung the giant axe in his hand fiercely.
The golden battle axe flew out rapidly like a dart, leaving a trail of golden light in the air.
This seems to be his fighting skill.
This resulted in the axe having extraordinary momentum.
