Elite? Select?

As soon as these words came out, many players suddenly thought of the "Thirty Seconds Real Men Club" that left with Black Star, and they were a little deflated.

Could it be that Blackstar means to do this test again? But the concubine can't do it, if you can pass, our 1.0 will already fly to the sky side by side with you!

"As long as you can pass the test of the soldiers under my command and prove your strength, the door of the Black Star Mercenary Group will be open for you......" Han Xiao explained briefly, and then threw out the task that had been set up a long time ago.

[Selection of Mercenaries]

[Mission description: The Black Star Mercenary Regiment is fighting in all directions in the interstellar world, and the members are all strong, and only by successfully passing their tests can they join the Black Star and become an elite mercenary]

[Requirements: Pass a battle test with any mercenary]

[Reward: 1 XP, Black Star Mercenary Group Faction Unlocked, Black Star Mercenary Group Relationship +100]

The player hurriedly watched it and talked about it.

"It turns out that it wasn't Black Star who personally selected people."

"It doesn't explain what the form of the combat test is, is it a heads-up like before?"

Han Xiao made a look, and the mercenary behind him took out a large translucent screen that had already been prepared, stood next to it, he pointed to the screen, and said: "If you want to participate in the selection, just enter your information on it, and Philip will give each applicant a number, which will show the selection battle in batches, pay attention to which one you are participating in." ”

The screen lit up, and a blue ring pattern appeared in the center, with particles floating around it, shaking slightly, and at the same time, the built-in speaker emitted the sound of artificial intelligence.

"Blackstar AI Philip Hum...... Happy to help you with ......"

Many players looked surprised and did so, entering their names, occupations and other information, and getting a number representing their identity, and soon, a new interface appeared at the top of the screen, indicating that a new selection was about to begin, and the participants had hundreds of numbers to go to the arena to participate in the test.

It also shows that the mercenary who presided over the selection was Melos.

After studying for a while, players will understand the selection mechanism, this is not a one-to-one selection, but a one-to-many selection, a Black Star mercenary assesses hundreds of players, what they have to do is to persevere until a certain time, once the time limit is up, if they do not fall into a near-death state, or still stay within the scope of the field, they will be considered to have passed the test, and they can join Black Star and become the winner.

And at the same time, there is more than one selection, the number of participants is different, and the opponents in each game are different. The most important point is that even if they lose in the selection battle, the player can apply to Philip again, without restrictions, like a challenge that can be carried out continuously.

Many players did not suspect him, felt quite interesting, and had high morale, and sent out applications one after another.

Han Xiao decided to select in this way, and let the hundreds of mercenaries under his command help him evaluate the players, anyway, this group of mercenaries is idle, instead of letting them waste time playing cards every day, it is better to find something for them to do, not only to save their own strength, but also to be more efficient.

The selection is just a formality, of course he knows what the player's current strength is, although the more players recruited, the better, but it is impossible to come over to a random player and say I want to join, and immediately let him join, this is too simple, those better camps, which are not to meet the premise to join. The selection is set up to make players feel that joining the mercenary group has a threshold and is challenging, and they can't add it if they want to.

He thought about it yesterday and decided to make the selection a daily activity in the eyes of a player, a mercenary selects dozens or hundreds of players at a time - the specific number is controlled by Philip, depending on the strength of the mercenary, to ensure that the number of players involved is within the mercenary's ability and can be easily handled, and Philip, who records the mercenary data, will not be wrong.

There are dozens or hundreds of players in each game, and it is like matching a brawl, in addition to dealing with the boss (mercenary), you have to trick each other to make sure that you can stay until the end and become one of the final winners, so there is competition.

In fact, Han Xiao's initial idea was that there were no mercenaries involved, so that players could choose by themselves, and gather groups of players to fight each other, similar to the battle royale mode, but in this case, the recruitment efficiency would be very low - because there was no strong external factor such as mercenaries, each selection would take a long time, after all, Goubi was everywhere, and it was impossible to show the strength of the Black Star mercenaries.

Moreover, this kind of beast-style selection may make some players feel disrespected, so Han Xiao finally chose the current mode and let the mercenaries under his command preside over a test, which not only improves efficiency, but also serves as a lubricant to reduce the probability of player dissatisfaction, making the selection less barbaric.

Players do not consume any resources to participate in the selection, and if they fail, they can wait for the lottery to re-challenge, which ensures that the threshold is not too high, so that players have the opportunity to keep trying. At the same time, since at the current stage of the Scourge of Alienation, players can only do one mission in the Vault, and the selection challenge is quite interesting and can be used as a spice activity between tasks.

And the venue for the selection is naturally the Shelter Arena built by him, where the professional league was held, but now it is vacant, and it is taken back by Han Xiao for his own use, Bennett and Huang Yu naturally have no opinions.

……

More than ten minutes later.

With thousands of players pouring into the arena, this is the first battle of the tryouts, and even those who don't have their turn choose to come and watch and see how it goes.

Melos stood in the middle of a large ring with his sword, surrounded by hundreds of players, feeling like he was in a state of siege.

The onlookers were talking.

"The time limit is two minutes, and after two minutes, as long as you don't fall out of the range of the ring and don't fall into a near-death state, you can join the Black Star Mercenary Group."

"Hundreds of people, it should be easy to support it for two minutes......"

"Simple? Don't be funny, haven't you watched the Black Star series of videos of the meat bun, he is Melos, a powerful Black Star cadre, and with a knife down, this arena is gone! Even if you haven't watched the video, you've always experienced yesterday's battle, haven't you seen him sweep through the herd? ”

"No, I'm dead."

Melos looked around, Han Xiao's instructions were to let him release the water properly, if he did it with all his strength, two minutes would be enough for him to cut down all the participants, most of these players were D-level, and only a few of them were C-level, which could not make up the gap.

Looking at the crowds of superpowers, Melos's heart was hot, Black Star really didn't lie to him, there are really hundreds of thousands of superpowers here!

Sunil Star is tormented by the disaster, Han Xiao once promised to bring a crowd more terrifying than the disaster to solve Sunil's predicament, Melos has always believed in Han Xiao's promise, and at this time, he was excited to see the promise come true.

Counting the time, Melos gripped the sword and nodded.

"The selection is starting to buzz......," Philip's voice echoed.

Rumble!

The next moment, most of the players rushed towards Melos in unison, all kinds of attacks were concentrated, and the number of people gave them confidence, they didn't care what they held on for two minutes, they only felt that they could deal with Melos like a boss, and they output one after another.

Only a small percentage of players do not advance and retreat, hiding behind others.

Attacks came from all directions, Melos's face did not change, and with a whirlwind slash in his hand, the annular blade wave spread 360 degrees without dead ends, covering the range of half of the ring, directly annihilating all long-range attacks, and the approaching martial arts players couldn't resist the aftermath, and were directly cut out and fell on the edge of the ring, and the blood volume instantly dropped by about 40%.

"Damn, this AOE damage is terrifying!"

"It's so dangerous, I was almost knocked down."

The players who charged suffered a big loss, their faces changed greatly, and the few players who dodged were out of range of the slash and escaped the disaster, rejoicing.

- Fortunately, we don't have a hard head, and we have a strong heart.

For today's players, Melos's strength is completely crushing, Han Xiao has long guessed that players will definitely have the mentality of fighting BOSS to deal with the selection battle at the beginning, and the first game is hosted by Melos, just to establish an invincible image in the hearts of players, and in the next few games, the people who do it are all cadre-level members.

As a result, there was no suspense, even if Melos released the water, this group of players was also cut by him, and a child was stabbed.

Players have to change their tough thinking, wander wildly, edge OB, survive in chaos, and be thrilled by thieves.

When the two minutes came, and there were less than ten people left standing, Melos put away his knife, and the surviving players woke up as if they had just woken up from a dream, and a look of ecstasy rose on their cheeks.

"I—We won?!"

Hundreds of losing players looked envious and jealous, and they were so angry that they let these few Gou Bi win the jackpot, which is unreasonable!

Of the hundreds of participants, less than ten of them succeeded, and the proportion was very low, but this was deliberately done by Han Xiao, at first he lowered the pass rate, which seemed to be very rare, and then slowly let the mercenaries release more water to increase the pass rate.

"Congratulations on passing the test, the Black Star welcomes you, when you go to the interstellar and register in the Mercenary Alliance, you will be official mercenaries."

Melos stretched out his hand and shook hands with the survivors one by one - this was Han Xiao's request, reflecting the differential treatment.

These people were elated, and found that the faction panel was indeed activated, and they could browse the faction store without looking for a black star, and the things inside were no longer gray, although they couldn't afford anything without Inar, but the colorful interface was at least much better than a gray one.

Only these people's [Mercenary Selection] task was settled and they got 100 camp contribution points, they have watched the video of the meat bun, and they know that the 100 camp relations below the [friendly] relationship can be purchased with 50 Inar, and they all feel that they have earned 50 Inar!

Several people were overjoyed.

And the onlookers were envious, they keenly grasped a message and heard Melos say "to the stars".

"In other words, as long as we pass the test, we can leave with Black Star after the end of the Sea Blue Star plot?"

"I guessed it right, Blackstar is the guide who took us to the interstellar version 2.0!"

Players have sparkling eyes and are eager to participate in the auditions.

The next selection went according to plan, and Han Xiao didn't keep staring.

Because there are so many players, in the schedule formulated by Han Xiao, there will be many selections every day, about every twenty minutes, a batch of selection battles will be held, there are several rings in the arena, each time several selections are carried out at the same time, it is estimated that there will be one or two thousand people per hour for selection, and forty or fifty thousand people will participate in a day, and the pass rate is temporarily controlled at about five percent.

Hundreds of thousands of players in the refuge, the cycle repeats, every player has a chance, this activity can be carried out for a long time, after all, the selection battle is not lacking in fun, most players are holding a fluke mentality, believing that they can get lucky - Han Da Technician has always felt that this illusion greatly facilitated his plan, allowing players to take the initiative to jump into his pit.

"After a few more days of adaptation, players will get used to the existence of the selection battle, and when they are on the right track, they will slowly increase the pass rate, so I don't have to worry about it."

Regarding the plan of the camp, Han Xiao also prepared a lot of means, and it was not yet time to use it, and the selection was just the beginning.

Moreover, the difficulty of the selection challenge creates a need for players to increase their strength in the short term, which can also increase their own sales, and he doesn't know how many birds have been killed by this stone.

……

From early morning to dusk, the square was full of people and noisy all day, and Han Xiao was ready to call it a day.

At the end of the day, his experience gains exceeded the billion mark.

"It's a total of 1.29 billion experience, it's been a long time since I've been so comfortable......" Han Xiao exhaled, feeling satisfied, the last time he harvested experience on such a large scale was when he left Hailanxing two years ago, and it felt like a long drought and a rainy day.

"That's enough experience to get to level 120, and there's some to spare."

I opened the panel and was about to invest in experience upgrades, when a rumbling sound of air suddenly sounded in the sky.

Looking up, I saw a new spaceship slowly descending, this is the spaceship he sent out to pick up the crazy knife and others, and it has finally arrived at the station.

Snort –

The hatch opened, and fifty players, including Crazy Knife, Meat Bun, and Haotian, jumped out with jetpacks on their backs and landed in the square.

Most of the players in the square knew this group of professional players, and they all looked at it with a look of surprise.

"Yo, you're back too."

Many people greeted them very warmly, this group of high-level players performed well in the professional league, quite popular, and they haven't seen these professional players for a long time.
