Before Alan could say a few pleasantries to Mika, the second stage of the race was about to begin.

From this stage onwards, all the contestants will have to give their all, because the next competitions are all based on the point system, and the champion will be determined according to the total score ranking.

In the event of a tie for the highest score in the final round, an overtime round will be played.

The seven of them were placed in one of the competition rooms, which was originally the training institution of the Pharmacists Association, and the tools and basic environment should be good.

The console is placed centripetally so that the contestants can see each other, which undoubtedly puts psychological pressure on the contestants.

Especially when someone completes it ahead of schedule, even if others concentrate their mental strength, they will still be affected to some extent - this is like an ordinary exam, everyone is working hard to write, but someone submits the paper in advance, and the rest of the people's hearts are suddenly hanging.

Alan and Mika's consoles happened to be opposite, and Alan looked at each other and smiled happily - I always felt that having someone I knew to participate in the competition together was like having a companion, and I didn't feel so lonely and scared.

Mika smiled back, and then began to familiarize herself with the environment in front of her, so that when the game officially started, she wouldn't waste time with unfamiliar things being placed.

Alan also lowered his head and began to prepare, when the radio sounded: "The competition of the intermediate group of the second stage of the α Galaxy Apothecary Competition is about to start, please find your position quickly, if you have any questions, please respond to the staff on the scene in time, or press the consultation button on the console." ”

After the official bell rang, the contestants all inserted their own chips into the identifier, and there was a box on the left side of all the consoles that rose to the desktop, and after opening, you can see the random questions in this round of the competition.

When Alan saw the medicinal plants in the box, his eyes couldn't help but light up - two of the three random questions were fifth-level medicinal plants and one was sixth-level medicinal plants, and two of them were actually practiced by him!

First of all, there is Echinacea that Allen is very familiar with in the fifth-level medicinal plant, because this is the seed that the system sent after he completed the task, and this kind of "no money" raw material has always been Allen's favorite practice material!

Moreover, when Alan first worshipped the high priest of Elijah as a teacher, the first course was also based on the study of the use of the protective film on the root of echinacea.

It was the Church's latest research finding, which found that the protective film of these medicinal plants that grow on white habitats can promote wound healing.

It is no exaggeration to say that Allen has treated echinacea, not a hundred, but eighty.

In addition, among the sixth-level medicinal plants, there is a medicinal plant called small reed bells.

When Alan first entered the Royal Academy, the High Priest of Elijah once sent Alan a bottle of synthetics of Star Grass and Xiao Lu Ling to Allen, because they were very helpful for the improvement of mental power, and it was a divine assist for Allen, who had a low genetic judgment level and lacked mental power at that time.

At that time, Alan was in a hurry to jump on a system task, but thanks to this bottle of synthetic, Alan was able to complete that task smoothly and won a huge prize.

It's just that the smell of the synthetic, which makes Alan unforgettable for the rest of his life - it's too bad to drink! When you take one sip, your face will distort, your stomach will distort after two sips, and when you take a third sip, your heart seems to be distorted!

This kind of small reed bell can be found in Mount Abna, because it likes to grow in the crevices of mountain cliffs, and the long string is like a bell, which is very cute.

According to the original competition system, 3 points can be accumulated for each high-grade purifier, 2 points for the inferior purifier, and no points for the final purifier, and the corresponding synthetic agent cumulative points are 6 points, 4 points and 2 points respectively.

Alan didn't start working on the herb right away, he wanted to clear his mind first.

After some thought, Alan had a rough assessment in his mind.

If it is a purifier for making zuò echinacea, it is basically guaranteed to complete a high-grade purifier and accumulate 3 points for yourself.

Another fifth-grade medicinal plant Allen had never seen before, and the grade was lower than that of Xiao Luling, so it should naturally be better handled in theory.

According to his preliminary judgment, the medicinal properties of these three medicinal plants are basically the same, and for the sake of insurance, it is naturally more appropriate to integrate medicinal plants of the same level.

But as far as Cheng Dù is concerned, Allen prefers to use small reed bells and echinacea, so maybe he still has hope to get another high score - the advanced judgment of syntheticizers can accumulate 6 points!

Time was pressing, and without further ado, Ai Ethics cleared his mind and began to deal with the echinacea in his hand.

If someone is a bystander and looks at the first step of the contestants in the competition room to sort out the medicinal plants, it can be clearly seen that although everyone is an intermediate pharmacist, their habits are still good and bad.

Allen's workstation was lined up neatly, and the red-haired man's table was a complete mess, in fact he had already made his desktop non-mainstream less than two minutes into the game!

And it seems to be similar to Allen's desktop, which is Mika's console, which is divided into categories and clear, and you can basically find the tools or other items you want immediately at any time.

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

When mental energy is consumed, because of the high concentration, it is often the time to open the eyes, and the game may be over.

Alan was satisfied with completing one copy of the purifier and one synthesis agent, and only sought speed for the third medicinal plant, after all, no one has completed it in advance yet, so the time bonus points can fall on the hands of the first three!

It was estimated that it should be the final sprint, so Alan no longer retains his mental power, but uses it all to speed up the game.

Just as Alan finished the last purifier, someone had already pressed the finish button, and Alan hurriedly put the container containing the purifier and synthesizer into the designated position, and also submitted the full instructions, only to find that the first one to complete it was Mika opposite him.

Regarding Mika's strength, Alan is still relatively clear, every time he communicates with the other party, Alan feels that he can learn a lot of things - Mika's great god is just like his name, he is god-level!

It's a pleasure to have both Mika and him get time bonus points!

In less than three seconds, the third person was also finished, the only girl in their group of contestants, and at this point, the additional points have been determined.

As the end of the contest sounds, the contestants who do not finish can only hurriedly throw their semi-finished products to the designated submission location.

These containers will be taken to a specialized testing facility for a detailed determination that will be used as a basis for changes in the participant's points. According to the notice issued by the organizing committee, the results will be given within three days after the end of the second stage of the competition.

After another fierce race against time, Alan breathed a sigh of relief - if he made the cut, he could rest for two days to recuperate and regain his mental strength in order to prepare for the third stage of the race.

Alan walked out of the game room and didn't leave immediately, he and Mika, who came out a little later, smiled at each other, and Alan motioned for Mika to find a place to talk to him.

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"If you meet me in the next game, you can't secretly let me!" Sitting in the small box of the tea room, Alan joked to Mika.

"Won't let you ...... We all have to do our best to be a good opponent. Mika looked at Alan's "blue eyes" and said softly.

- Because only being extremely serious about the game is the greatest respect for your opponent!

The two of them sat for a while and chatted for a few words, and Alan suddenly noticed that Mika seemed to be a little speechless and stopped.

He was a little strange, so he asked the other party, "What's wrong?" ”

As if not expecting Alan to ask this question, Mika replied with some hesitation: "Nothing...... It's just Alan, don't you know who I am? ”

- It was reported that Eren could see human souls, and he later confirmed from his uncle, High Priest Elijah, that Eren did have the ability to see souls......

"Because the mental power consumption during the game was too intense, I didn't dare to use it for other ......"

Alan heard Mika say that, and it seemed to mean that they knew someone?!

Although there is not much spiritual power left, there is no problem in maintaining a visual soul, and Alan Xuan is about to turn on the system's visual soul ability, but he is taken aback by the scene in front of him.

I saw a familiar and beautiful white swan lying next to them in a graceful posture, and its huge and graceful body formed an arc, which looked both noble and elegant!

Although it is different from the color of a black swan in my memory, the similarity makes people unable to ignore it, and it always feels familiar. Something flashed through Alan's mind.

"Mika, you're ...... Arthur?! Alan asked, surprised.
