【The ranking list has been updated and the top five candidates and their numbers are now announced】
First place: Deng Zhuo, No. 43, points: 65
Second place: Zeng Xi, No. 72, points: 60
Third place: Wan Yibin, No. 18, points: 56
Fourth place: Dong Yue, No. 63, points: 50
Fifth place: Lin You, No. 27, points: 47
…
When the list came out, Lin You was stunned.
What's going on?
He ranked fifth?
Are you mistaken?
Lin You was really surprised. For such a long time, he had been busy making money, but his points ranking had soared to fifth?
He just eliminated two candidates and got 17 points. Is that how he made the list?
Although his basic score is very high, it should be almost the same as that of Xia Mu and Xiao Yi, the students who first passed the advanced entrance examination, and it is likely that they are all 30 points.
It seems that the candidates are all very cautious, and it is not easy to eliminate one of them.
After all, if you don’t meet other candidates, you won’t get any points even if you want to score.
Lin You was lucky to have caught two candidates.
But in fact, if Lin You had known in advance about the tracking card, he might not have paid any attention to those two people.
It is not a good thing to have your name appear on the leaderboard too early.
It has been quite some time since the assessment, and more and more people should have discovered special cards.
Lin You didn't think that he was the only one who was focused on making money, but among those who made the decision to make money, he must be the fastest one.
"Zeng Xi's points seem to be rising quite fast."
Looking at the list in front of him, Lin You quickly noticed Zeng Xi, who ranked second on the list.
When the top three of the list was announced previously, this person was not among them.
But Lin You didn't think much about it.
He still had an impression of Zeng Xi, who was the rookie king of Yuehua High School and a freshman who secured a spot in the first round.
The strength is self-evident.
Don't get too hung up on this list.
Time is precious, Lin You has to hurry up and transfer the money.
In this area, the effect of the beast trap card is almost over, and due to Baphomet's killing, the area is in chaos.
The beastmen and white wolves fled in all directions in a hurry.
It is no longer realistic to attract Wilmi.
We have to find another place to trap the rabbit.
Thinking of this, Lin You jumped directly onto Baphomet's back. Baphomet flapped his wings quickly and walked faster, which was much more reliable than the pterosaurs guarding the city.
Not long after, Baphomet brought Lin You to a completely new area.
Use the same old trick again.
Another hunting card was activated, and before the strange smell came out, Lin You asked Baphomet to retreat as far away as possible.
It is not only to avoid unpleasant odors, but more importantly, to restrain your own scent as much as possible.
Baphomet is a black star monster, and that powerful aura will undoubtedly create obstacles to making money.
But if he retreated far enough, the momentum would not be able to reach the Beast Hunter Card, so even if some of it remained, it would not be a cause for concern.
The temptation of the hunting card itself is huge.
Some almost negligible residual aura could not suppress the desires of the beastmen.
After a while, white smoke began to drift out of the trap card, and the strange smell wafted out again.
Lin You covered his nose in advance. Although he retreated several hundred meters, he was still within the range of the strange smell.
Not long after the smell spread, several beastmen approached.
Among those beastmen, Wilmi could not be seen for the time being.
Lin You was not in a hurry. Previous experiments had proved that the rabbit would eventually fall into the pit.
The facts were as expected.
Twenty minutes later, several Wilmi had occupied the area.
This time, there is no competition from the White Wolf.
Because of this, the rest of the beast tribe could only watch from afar.
Wilmi finally demonstrated their dominant position.
But even if these beastmen cannot enjoy the core area, it is still enough to be intoxicated by guarding the periphery.
The trapping cards are very tempting to them.
After waiting for a while, the effect of the beast trap card was about to disappear.
It's time to close the net.
"Baphomet, I leave it to you."
As soon as Lin You finished speaking, Baphomet flapped his wings quickly and flew out like a gust of wind.
At the same time as this swift impact, the powerful aura belonging to the Black Star Monster also spread in an instant.
It was like a blockbuster bomb suddenly exploded in the fish pond.
These beasts were like fish in a pond, scared out of their wits.
He instantly woke up from his intoxicated state and instinctively began to withdraw.
But it doesn't matter.
It’s enough that the real person Wilmi didn’t leave.
Although a few Wilmi felt the powerful aura, they are the kings of this forest!
They get scared to pee so easily, don’t they have any dignity left?
These Wilmi began to bare their teeth and waved their thorny claws in the direction where Baphomet was flying, trying to achieve a deterrent effect.
But this deterrent not only failed to play the role it should have, but instead aroused Baphomet's savagery and anger.
In Baphomet's eyes, these were just a few weak chickens, oh no, it was weak rabbits who took the initiative to provoke him.
Do you think you are worthy?
Baphomet let out a devilish roar, which froze the expressions of several Wilmi. Instead of being intimidated, they were frightened by Baphomet.
Feeling this powerful momentum again, they finally became a little unstable and hesitated whether to fight for status and dignity or to retreat strategically.
But this hesitation has made their choice.
Baphomet was so fast that he had already arrived.
The few Wilmi had no choice but to fight head-on.
But the outcome of this battle with such a huge disparity in strength was already a mystery before it even began.
…
A few minutes later.
"A great harvest, a great harvest!"
Lin You was smiling and in a good mood. There were several more pieces of Wilmi meat on the duel plate on his hand.
To be exact, it is six groups, which is one group less than the effect of the first hunting card, but it is not bad.
Including the previous ones, there are a total of 13 groups.
13 balls of Wilmi meat, 50 gold coins each, the total value is as high as 650 gold coins.
It is indeed a great harvest.
"Can Uncle Dragon Slayer afford so much Wilmi meat?"
After the joy, Lin You began to think about this problem seriously.
Uncle Tulong's restaurant business is not going well, so logically, he shouldn't make much money.
"fine."
Lin You shook his head and quickly put the question aside.
In the food town, many people are interested in Wilmi meat, so there is no worry about not being able to sell it.
Now, it's time to go back.
Just as Lin You was about to leave, suddenly, several prompt boxes popped up.
【Warning: Current remaining time until the circle shrinks: one hour】
【Reminder: All candidates are requested to leave the shrinking circle as soon as possible. Unfinished tasks will be reset after the circle is shrunk, and the difficulty level will be reduced by one level.】
【Tip: Assessment Island map outline is now open】
At the same time as these prompts appeared, a card popped out from Lin You's duel disk.
It’s the points card.
At the same time as this card popped out, the number on the card was peeled off again. This time, the number peeled off became 47, which is Lin You's current score.
The points card was suspended in mid-air, shining brightly.
Suddenly, a faint blue light screen shot out.
What was displayed on the light screen was a rough map of the entire Assessment Island.
There is no detailed information marked on the map, but just looking at the scope, you can see that it is ridiculously large.
The outline is polygonal.
Lin You is on one of the sides at the moment.
Judging from the map structure, the candidates are randomly assigned to any side of the map.
The so-called shrinking circle is moving from the edge to the center.
At this moment, Lin You's location has been marked in red on the map.
The meaning is obvious, this is the shrinking circle.
Not only here, all the edge areas of the map are within the shrinking circle.
This is to erase the starting point first.
Not good.
There is only one hour left. Judging from the time, it is not difficult for Lin You to escape from the shrinking circle.
But the key point is that he still has a mission to accomplish.
Although the mission can be reset and even the difficulty can be reduced, this is obviously not a good thing.
Lower difficulty means smaller rewards.
Don’t underestimate ‘Moon Frozen Wilmi’ as it is a C-rank mission, the reward is only 100 gold coins.
But the real money-making point of this mission lies in two ingredients, Wilmi meat and moon ice essence.
Wilmi's meat is worth 50 gold coins, and the difficulty of the Moon Ice Essence mission makes its value unimaginable.
But no matter how expensive it is, it is only limited to this area.
Once it goes out of this way, its value will be lost.
As the difficulty of the task decreases, the value of the content related to the task will also decrease. This is the key to the matter!
At this moment, Lin You saw everything clearly.
He made up his mind without any hesitation.
…
Baphomet landed outside the town and Lin You jumped off it.
Lin You took back the last of his magic power, then walked quickly into the town and headed straight for the Dragon Slayer Uncle's barbecue restaurant.
"Hey, boy..."
"Uncle, to make a long story short, I'll sell you all twelve regiments of Wilmi. Do you want them?"
Uncle Dragon Slayer was a little confused, but before he could finish his greeting, Lin You spoke first.
"Ten, twelve regiments?!"
The dragon-slaying uncle was so frightened that he could hardly speak clearly, and he seemed a little unconvinced.
It’s not that I don’t believe Lin You, it’s that I don’t dare to believe him.
No matter what, this is too exaggerated.
Lin You didn't waste any words and activated the duel disk. One after another, balls of light wrapped around Wilmi's flesh appeared.
Seeing these balls of light, the dragon slayer was stunned.
Lin You hurriedly asked, "Uncle, do you want to buy it?"
“Buy, of course!”
The dragon-slaying uncle suddenly reacted, ecstasy flashed in his eyes, and he nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
Without any hesitation.
Lin You was a little surprised.
Is this true or false?
Uncle, are you so rich?
This time it was Lin You's turn to be a little surprised.
But he didn't say anything. After all, these characters were just the product of the power of the cards.
It’s not surprising whether you have a lot of money or a little.
Maybe it is the accumulation of many years by others.
"Uncle, thank you very much."
"What are you talking about? I should be the one thanking you. Honestly, with all this Wilmi meat, I can also benefit from it and make a lot of money."
The dragon-slaying uncle looked excited and said, "Don't worry, young man. As I said before, I won't treat you unfairly. Just wait."
After saying that, the dragon slayer turned around and walked into the restaurant. When he came out, he had a small bag in his hand.
"Young man, count them, there are 600 gold coins in total."
Uncle Dragon Slayer walked up to Lin You and opened the bag, revealing golden coins inside.
"That's not necessary."
Taking the purse, Lin You smiled and said, "Uncle, I trust your character, but I have something urgent to do right now, so I can only thank you next time."
"Well, young man, you're very kind."
The dragon-slaying uncle was very touched, but also a little regretful. He bought so much Wilmi meat at one time and wanted to fry a piece on the spot and share it with the young man. What a pity.
Lin You naturally had no mood to eat meat now.
Time is running out.
After bidding farewell to the dragon-slaying uncle, Lin You ran quickly on the street.
I quickly rushed to the card shop and bought several cards without saying a word.
They are three magic cards, one purpose card, one return card and one trap card.
Lin You wanted to buy more hunting cards, but found that they were sold out.
Perhaps other candidates bought the same cards as him, resulting in insufficient stock, or perhaps each candidate was limited to purchasing three cards of the same type.
After all, the magic cards were also sold out in 3 pieces.
Six cards, total consumption 320 gold coins.
Although the consumption was huge, Lin You still had 290 gold coins left.
This number is quite a lot.
After buying the card, Lin You immediately activated a magic card.
The magic card flipped over, and a bottle of bubbling magic potion appeared, pouring over Lin You's head and flowing into his whole body.
But he did not feel wet. Lin You only felt that the magic power in his body was recovering rapidly.
After a while, 100 magic powers returned.
Getting rid of the state of magic exhaustion made Lin You feel quite comfortable.
Not immersed in it.
Lin You decisively activated another card, the target card!
This card is incredibly expensive, but the effect is surprisingly powerful.
Can instantly form regional teleportation.
And there is no distance limit!
In the world rules of Assessment Island, the purpose card grants the duelist an ability that is no different from teleportation.
A strong blue light flashed, and the target card flipped over.
Suddenly, a hexagram teleportation array appeared under Lin You's feet.
"Teleport, Ice Moon Valley."
Lin You, who was activating this card for the first time, shouted tentatively.
As soon as he finished speaking, the hexagram teleportation array began to fluctuate violently, and a column of blue light rose from the spot.
The column of light shot up into the sky and disappeared beyond the clouds.
What the hell, what the hell!
This unexpected ascension in a second made Lin You curse in his heart.
Where is the teleportation array?
Shouldn't he be sent to his destination safely and securely?
What is going on now?
Suddenly it went up into the sky, and then seemed to turn into a meteor across the sky. A moment later, it drew a huge arc in the air and fell to the ground.
This experience is a hundred times more exciting than riding a roller coaster!
“Hiss.”
Lin You's teeth chattered slightly, and the surroundings suddenly became chilly.
The ground on which I stood also became extremely smooth.
Lin You looked around.
There are icebergs on both sides, and the biting cold wind blows into the limited space of the valley from above.
No need to think, this place is Ice Moon Valley.
The purpose card is really effective.
It took only three seconds at most to transfer him from the Gourmet Town to the distant Ice Moon Valley.
Because it was too fast, Lin You was still dizzy when he landed, and he almost couldn't stand still. He was woken up by the cold wind around him.
Looking at the map again, Lin You was slightly stunned.
What surprised him was that the Ice Moon Valley was also flashing red at this moment.
This means that this place is also within the shrinking range.
“Is it also the starting point?”
Lin You was a little surprised, but he didn't care too much. His top priority now was to find the Ice Moon Bird.
Time is limited, so it would be difficult to find the target.
"Coolie~"
Chestnut Ball suddenly floated over and said something out of the blue.
"What? Where?"
Lin You's expression changed and he looked around again.
"Coolie~"
Li Ziqiu pointed ahead and began to lead the way, and Lin You followed quickly.
The little guy just said that he felt a strong magical aura.
If you're lucky.
This breath might be the target, the breath of the Ice Moon Bird.
…
"coolie!"
Chestnut Ball suddenly stopped, stretched out his short little claws, and pointed above the ice wall.
Lin You looked up and saw, as expected, a large ice-blue bird lying on the high ice surface to rest.
Although the big bird's body is ice blue, the tips of its wings are a touch of luxurious purple.
Ice Moon Bird!
Lin You was delighted, he was sure that it was the target of this trip, the Ice Moon Bird.
According to Li Ziqiu's perception, the Ice Moon Bird was the only monster nearby that emitted obvious magical fluctuations.
But in addition to this, there were several tiny auras of magic that also fell within its perception.
Are there several more breaths?
Very small?
Lin You pondered for a moment, but soon thought of something.
"It's the Ice Moon Eggs mentioned in the quest. Those eggs are covered by its wings."
There will be no mistake!
Lin You was cheered up, but then he became worried again.
Those eggs are covered by the Ice Moon Bird. We must find a way to lure this big guy away so that we can extract the Ice Moon essence from them.
The Ice Moon Essence is produced when the Ice Moon Bird is incubating bird eggs, and should be mixed with the eggs.
We have to find a way to lure away the Ice Moon Bird.
The Ice Moon Bird's aura is very strong, and if a head-on conflict breaks out, Lin You will probably need a lot of time.
There’s more.
In an overly intense battle, who can guarantee that there will be no impact and influence on the ice moon material?
At this place, Chestnut Ball has only sensed one Ice Moon Bird. It is still unknown whether he can find another one.
Even if it can be found, it may not necessarily produce an Ice Moon Egg.
Lin You was able to find this Ice Moon Bird that met his needs so quickly. On the one hand, it was due to Li Ziqiu’s perception, and on the other hand, it might be related to his mission.
Because he was carrying out a related task, the 'Destination Card' played a further role, helping him to locate the nearest area suitable for completing the task.
To sum up, Lin You had to find another way.
I want to lure away the Ice Moon Bird. I wonder if the animal trap card will work?
If nothing unexpected happens, the Ice Moon Bird should be a bird-beast monster and also have beast bloodline.
Lin You specially purchased a hunting card, actually he had considered this aspect.
Never mind.
Give it a try.
There is no better way for the time being, and Lin You is not going to waste the already limited time.
After running a little further and keeping as much distance as possible, Lin You activated the hunting card.
White smoke rose and a strange smell began to spread gradually.
After activating this card, Lin You hid behind a large protruding ice rock nearby and waited patiently.
Ten minutes passed while waiting.
Lin You was a little dumbfounded.
No way?
Don't buy it?
Are you asking for special treatment?
Could it be that they are not birds or beasts?
No, I have to go and see.
Lin You ran back quickly, and when he approached the Ice Moon Bird, he slowed down his pace. From a distance, he secretly looked up at the Ice Moon Bird over there.
Seeing this, Lin You was shocked again.
At this moment, the Ice Moon Bird was awake!
