When you click on it, a card selling interface appears.
If it was just a simple card sale, Lin You wouldn't be so surprised.
What surprised him was...
The cards sold in this interface are all cards with special properties.
And it's not just special.
There are five cards in total.
The first one was a 'magic card'. There was a bottle of magic potion engraved on the card, bubbling away, and it was actually a dynamic image.
The effect note below this card reads:
After activation, 100 magic points can be restored.
Price: 50 gold coins
…
It can only be purchased with gold coins.
And this card is just the most normal-looking one among the five cards.
The second card is called the 'Tracking Card'. This card, which also costs 50 gold coins, tracks a valid target (including the number) and immediately appears near the target (no more than 500 meters away).
The third card is called the 'Beast Trapper Card' and costs 20 gold coins. Its effect is to create a unique fragrance that attracts beast monster cards within a radius of hundreds of meters to gather together. The effect lasts for half an hour.
The fourth card is the 'Destination Card', which costs 100 gold coins and has the effect of instantly teleporting you to any area on the Assessment Island.
The fifth card is the 'Return Card', which costs 50 gold coins. This card can only be used in conjunction with the target card, and its effect is to return to the position before using the target card.
…
As it turned out, Lin You's guess was correct.
Gold coins are not used to exchange for duel points, but to exchange for the various cards within the assessment.
These five cards are all disposable and each has its own function.
The most practical of these is naturally the magic card, and redeeming a magic card does not cost too much.
From this point of view, this assessment will probably take a long time.
Otherwise, the students would not be given such great endurance help.
However, help is help.
The cost is not low either.
50 gold coins, that's a lot.
The candidates don’t have even a single initial gold coin.
Even if you complete the first collection task, the reward is only 100 gold coins.
What's more, this task is not that easy.
Lin You has to find a way to go to Ice Moon Valley.
If I had a purpose card, I would have saved myself a lot of trouble, but it's too expensive.
This price is still a bit high.
But then again, duel points can be earned, so this...
Lin You suddenly thought of something and decided to give it a try.
Close the interface and leave the card shop.
Soon, they arrived at the restaurant called 'Dragon Meat BBQ'.
The restaurant was as deserted as ever.
After all, it hasn't been that long.
But looking at the scene inside the store, Lin You's intuition told him.
It’s probably not that he came at the wrong time, but that there has been no business here.
Roasted dragon meat sounds a bit unreliable.
"Hey, young man, you're here again so soon?"
The dragon-slaying uncle spotted Lin You from a distance. Seeing him approaching, he hurriedly greeted him, "You must be hungry. Come, what do you want to eat? I have to recommend you our new Demonic Evil Dragon Meat. This meat..."
When he got the chance, he started to talk about his own roasted dragon meat, constantly emphasizing the deliciousness and benefits of the meat, and always kept the topic focused on this point.
A hint, no, it was an explicit instruction for Lin You to sit down and eat.
Learned from previous experiences to avoid being diverted again.
However.
Lin You, who had been listening silently for a while, suddenly said, "Uncle, are you interested in buying Wilmi's meat?"
"What did you say?"
The dragon slayer's eyes widened in astonishment, "Are you talking about Wilmi?"
Once again the subject was easily changed.
It seems that Wilmi's influence in this food town is quite good.
I just don’t know if it’s the same in other places.
Most likely not.
The reason why the food town is like this is probably because it is related to Lin You’s current mission.
In this assessment, the location where each person lands may be directly related to the content of the task.
Of course, Lin You feels that the difficulty of everyone’s tasks may vary.
For those who have excellent results in the entrance examination, the difficulty of the initial tasks will probably be higher.
He is C-level, but C-level tasks are also quite difficult.
At least it takes some effort.
If such a task is given to ordinary students without considering the competition among students, there will be no pressure.
But when it comes to competition, the difficulty is inevitably greatly increased.
Therefore, the initial missions of these people may be D-level or even lower.
As the task difficulty decreases, the rewards will likely also decrease, but overall the benefits outweigh the disadvantages.
Seeing that he had attracted the other party's attention, Lin You did not hide anything and said directly:
"To be honest, uncle, I got a piece of Wilmi meat. I know it's valuable and a lot of people in town want it, but you're the one I trust the most, so I came directly to you. What do you think, uncle?"
"Yes, of course!"
The dragon slayer nodded repeatedly without even thinking, feeling very excited. Then he seemed to be very moved and said:
"I didn't expect you to think so highly of me, uncle. Making Moon Frozen Wilmi is what everyone dreams of. But even without the Moon Ice Essence, the Wilmi meat is delicious enough. Making a stir-fried Wilmi is also quite good."
"Young man, just name a price, and I will try my best to satisfy you."
Make an offer!
Lin You's heart moved, and he quickly said: "Uncle, just give me a suitable price. Friendship is the most important thing, and the transaction is secondary."
"good!"
These words excited the dragon slayer again. "It's rare that you trust me so much. I can't treat you unfairly. I'm willing to pay 50 gold coins for your piece of Wilmi meat."
It’s really gold coins!
As soon as the dragon slayer mentioned "gold coins", Lin You's mind became active.
He knew that the setting of gold coins in this assessment was not that simple.
The mission rewards are just extra!
Wilmi and Moon Ice Essence themselves are quite valuable items.
In the world of Assessment Island, gold coins should be hard currency.
"Uncle, we are both quick-witted. I trust you to make the offer."
As he spoke, Lin You directly activated his magic power, and the Wilmi flesh that was sucked into the duel disk turned into a ball of light and emerged.
Wrapped in the ball of light was Wilmi's flesh.
This strange sight was not abnormal in the eyes of the dragon slayer. The reason why his eyes lit up was simply because he saw the Wilmi meat that he had been thinking about.
"Uncle, here you go."
Lin You threw the ball of light with his palm, and it slowly flew towards the dragon-slaying uncle.
The dragon slayer stretched out his hands and carefully picked up the ball of light containing Wilmi's meat.
"Young man, wait a moment."
After saying this, the dragon-slaying uncle hurried into the restaurant, and when he came out, he had five golden coins in his hand.
These gold coins are several times larger than ordinary coins.
The face value of the gold coin is 10, and each one represents 10 gold coins.
"Hey young man, take this money."
After the dragon slayer handed the gold coins to Lin You, he said, "If you have time, come back next time. I'll save some Wilmi meat for you and cook it for you."
"Uncle, you're so polite."
Lin You laughed, and after a moment, he suddenly asked, "Uncle, if I can still get Wilmi's meat, will you still accept it?"
"Can it still be done?"
The dragon slayer's expression froze for a moment, but he quickly advised, "Young man, don't be impulsive. Although Wilmi meat is valuable, every hunt is too risky. Money is good, but it's not worth it to lose your life for it."
"However, Wilmi meat, if there is any left, uncle is naturally willing to buy it. The purchase price remains the same, but you must not take risks for this matter again. 50 gold coins should be enough for you to spend for a long time."
"Okay, I understand, uncle, thank you for your concern."
Lin You smiled and said, "Well, uncle, see you next time."
"See you next time, be careful."
…
Walking on the streets of the small town, Lin You was in a good mood. Wilmi's meat was much more valuable than he had imagined.
Although this thing is necessary for him to complete the task, there are still quite a few Wilmi in that forest.
Moreover, this creature was originally brutal.
The timid Wilmi before must have happened to see the scene of Lin You driving the cards to fight, which made him self-aware and that's why he ran so fast.
The difficulty of capturing this ferocious monster has been reduced a lot.
Lin You now suddenly understood the strategy of this assessment.
Since there is a tracking card, he doesn't need to worry about points.
Tracking cards can track candidates whose numbers are exposed.
Initially, the candidates did not know each other's numbers.
So far, only three people have revealed their numbers.
That is, the top three on the list.
If someone is interested, there should be someone who will write down their numbers.
But at the beginning of the test, most candidates will not think much about it.
At most, you will just remember the name and add points, but you won’t care about the number.
Lin You was no exception. He knew that Deng Zhuo and Wan Yibin were ranked first and second respectively, but he did not specifically remember their numbers, even though the numbers were very simple, only two digits.
As for Xia Mu, he paid more attention to him.
I haven't forgotten, his number is 20.
How about finding an opportunity to snatch Old Xia away?
Lin You thought about it happily for a while, but then shook his head.
It’s not necessary to rob Lao Xia.
After all, there are so many people to snatch, there is no need to take advantage of the familiar.
What's more, it's not easy to snatch it from Old Xia!
Lin You now has a plan and immediately goes straight to the card shop.
After a while, I arrived at the card shop, entered the card sales interface, and selected the "Beast Trapping Card".
Lin You was sure that it was no coincidence that this card appeared in the card shop in the Food Town.
There are more than five types of special cards on the Assessment Island.
The beast trap card may be a card used to assist in completing the task.
No, to be exact, it's a card used to make money.
With the effect of this card, it should be able to quickly attract the beasts in the forest.
There are quite a few Wilmi in that forest, and most of them have considerable dominance, otherwise they would not be able to be cruel even if they wanted to.
Just like Wilmi who was timid in front of Lin You.
In that forest, even if Wilmi is not the dominant one, he has no natural enemies.
The first person to be smelled by the scent of the hunting card would most likely be Wilmi.
The ruler takes priority, this is the law of the jungle.
After sorting out his thoughts, Lin You was willing to spend 40 gold coins to buy two "Beast Hunting Cards".
Leave the card shop.
Lin You went straight to the forest.
Wilmi.
Wait, I'm here to bring you warmth.
…
A wilderness.
Countless green grasses swayed in the wind, but at this moment, the original quiet and peace had been completely broken by a group of people.
Chen Mu, the second-best student at Qiushui High School, looked at the students pressing forward and said with a grim expression, "Zeng Xi, isn't that too much?"
Among the approaching group of people, the most famous one is Wang Zengxi, a newcomer from Yuehua High School.
Although Yuehua High School is not a top-tier school, apart from Guangmu and Qiu Shui, there is no other duel high school that can surpass it.
As the rookie king of such a dueling high school, Zeng Xi's strength is unquestionable.
Even in a one-on-one fight, the second-best student from Qiu Shui High School might be slightly inferior.
But looking at the current situation.
Zeng Xi had no intention of fighting alone.
There were five or six people following him, but it was hard to say whether they were students of Yuehua High School.
At this moment, listening to Chen Mu's words, Zeng Xi couldn't help but laugh and said, "Chen Mu, don't you understand the meaning of this assessment?"
"Since this is an open-ended elimination tournament, of course we need to gather more strength. I've already started building a team since the beginning of the exam. I'm probably not the only one doing something similar."
"In the final analysis, this assessment is not only a test of one's personal strength, but also a test of one's organizational ability. Only by gathering enough and strong manpower can one go further."
Chen Mu was silent and speechless. Of course he knew that Zeng Xi was right.
But he came from a prestigious university and was unwilling to easily cooperate with ordinary students.
As for classmates or freshmen graduating from other prestigious universities, Chen Mu has not met any yet.
"It seems you also know your problem."
Zeng Xi smiled faintly and said, "You knew this was an assessment, but because of your pride, you lost the opportunity and were eliminated. It's only natural."
"hateful."
Chen Mu gritted his teeth, knowing that he was probably finished this time.
But he was unwilling to give up. With his ability, how could he stop here?
"How about cooperating with me?"
Suddenly, Zeng Xi spoke again, but what he said made Chen Mu stunned.
cooperate?
"Nothing strange, right?"
Zeng Xi spread his hands and said calmly, "The assessment has just begun. It would be foolish to miss out on a capable assistant just for some petty gains."
"What I said just now was just to hope that you can let go of your pride. We are all equal, it's just a matter of how capable you are, and how big a bowl of rice you can eat. The more capable you are, the more you can eat. But now it's not just about eating, it's about competing for food. The more mouths there are, the more food you can grab."
"I really hope to reach a cooperation with you. With your joining, the competitiveness of our team will undoubtedly be taken to a higher level."
Zeng Xi spoke sincerely, but neither servile nor arrogant.
The attitude is quite clear.
I sincerely want to cooperate with you, but if you don't cooperate, I'm sorry.
Chen Mu didn't expect that there would be a turn for the better.
But to be honest, he agreed with what Zeng Xi had just said.
It is undoubtedly impossible to go further in a large-scale assessment like this by relying on the strength of one person alone.
"I promise."
Chen Mu exhaled and said calmly, "But like you said, I can only eat as much as I can. I have a big appetite."
"Of course."
Zeng Xi's eyes flashed with a sharp light, "With you joining us, we are going to start eating meat now!"
…
At the same time, similar scenes were taking place all over the Assessment Island.
There are many people who realize the power of teamwork.
But at this moment, Lin You, who was wandering in the forest, was still thinking about making money.
He has activated the hunting card.
When this card is activated, white smoke slowly rises from the flipped Trapper Card, like a lit fire.
As the white smoke drifted, a strange 'fragrance' spread.
"What the hell is that smell?"
Just a few seconds after the smell spread, Lin You's face changed drastically, as if he had eaten a pound of bitter melon.
You call this fragrance?
How dare you!
It tastes like a durian picked up from a gutter and smeared with ketchup.
It smells both bad and weird.
Lin You had to cover his nose and stand behind a big tree a little further away.
The aroma has spread, and now we just have to wait for the 'rabbits' to take the bait.
Lin You did not release any cards to avoid the possibility of being discovered.
Chestnut Ball appears in elf form, fully aware of the surrounding environment.
"coolie!"
Before long, Chestnut Ball sensed the presence of an approaching monster.
"It works so quickly?"
Lin You was also a little surprised. What a good stuff!
Seeing that the hunting card had an immediate effect, Lin You immediately forgot all the complaints he had just made.
It doesn't matter if it smells bad.
As long as it works.
After waiting for a while, hurried footsteps approached.
The monster that Chestnut Ball sensed has arrived!
Lin You stuck his head out to look, and soon the monster came into his sight.
It was a mouse the size of a house cat, blue all over, with a single horn on its head and a long blue tail that kept shaking behind it as it ran quickly.
Not a rabbit, but a mouse.
Lin You was not disappointed, but felt much more relieved.
This rat has a very weak aura and is a very weak beast monster.
It is neither aggressive nor strong, so its speed is quite impressive.
Therefore, he quickly ran to the hunting card.
Lin You feels relieved because.
After smelling the "fragrance", even this weak little mouse is willing to risk its life just to run over and take a few whiffs, which shows that the fragrance is indeed very attractive.
If nothing unexpected happens, more beastmen will arrive soon.
At this moment, after discovering that the source of the fragrance was a card, the mouse ignored it, closed its eyes, and stayed where it was, intoxicated.
The aroma in the center of the hunting card is undoubtedly the strongest, otherwise Lin You would not be able to bear it.
The smell was too strong, it was definitely not something from the living world.
It's unbearable to smell.
"coolie!"
Chestnut Ball's warning sounded again, and this time, it sensed that a large amount of breath was approaching.
Soon, its perception was verified.
Dozens or even scores of hurried footsteps were heard, causing the ground to shake slightly.
Lin You looked around and saw some beastmen coming into view.
Here it comes, here it comes!
In the large orc army.
Just a cursory glance revealed five Wilmi.
In Lin You's eyes, those were not Wilmi, but walking gold coins.
