Speaking of which, Bob's group hadn't read his newspaper for a long time, and the five or six of them seemed to feel embarrassed to do so for a long time, so they simply organized a group to buy the newspaper, each of them once a issue, and the average was less than 20 silver coins per day.

In the past, they only had to send one person to line up at a time, but now the competition is fierce, and five people have to go together.

"Didn't look, what happened?" Deres asked.

"It shouldn't be you! Today is exciting news! Big news mentioned in the bonus! Bob's face shook with excitement and slapped the newspaper in front of him.

Dreis spread out the newspaper and was surprised to find that "A Song of Frost and Fire" had been published for the first time, and all pages were devoted to a place called "Seraf".

Look at the location, opposite the mage's gladiatorial arena, which is the left hand side of the school field that they are familiar with.

But wasn't it always an abandoned building, and when was it transformed into this......

The newspaper explained that the new building was a new technology product with more diverse functions than the school grounds, and that in addition to completing all kinds of training, it would also provide a wonderful adventure.

In addition, Seraf will score the participants based on their performance, draw up a leaderboard, and each month the top of the list will receive a significant reward.

Now that there are rewards, Seraf's experience is certainly not free, but on the first day of opening, each student will receive 12 hours of free experience.

Dreis was a little stunned, at first glance, this thing sounded similar to the group of black boxers in Copper Fire Alley, but this is not a confrontation between people, but a confrontation with the environment.

How to fight against the environment? Targeting? Scarecrow? Stakes? What can be distinguished from these things?

Could it be ......

"Do you mean...... Some kind of illusion? Deres asked, looking up.

"Read on! Here's an explanation! ”

He went on.

The main body of Seraf is divided into four sections, the first three are the 'Training Ground', the 'Arena' and the 'Dungeon', and the fourth is dedicated to mages: 'Magic Hub'.

Each of the four venues has its own leaderboard with different rewards, but the first place on each list will receive at least 1,000 gold per month, as well as a portion of the project's total income for that month.

This is the most primitive "bonus pool" model.

For example, if a genius mage reaches the first place in the training ground, and the total income of the training ground this month is 10,000 gold coins, then he can get 1000 + 150 at the end of the month for a total of 1150 gold coins, but looking at the price of 1 gold coin/hour, it is impossible for Seraf's monthly income to stop at 10,000 per project.

In terms of numbers, both the training ground and the arena are single-player modes, and the former is similar to the skill training of combat scientists, with speed, endurance, skill and other items being considered separately. And the latter is a one-on-one life-and-death battle against Warcraft.

As for the "dungeon", the number of people is flexible, students can form a team of 1-40 people on their own, refer to the mercenary's task process, first accept the task, and then go to a certain place to complete the task, the difficulty of the adventure experienced during this period will also change linearly depending on the number of people, and finally the team will be scored according to the completion of the task.

The above is an introduction to the structure, and in the real experience link, the three are different.

The newspaper mentions two ways to experience it, namely "virtual reality mode" and "full immersion mode".

This is certainly not a new term for earthlings who have long been familiar with AR+VR and immersive experiences, but for the natives of Lokan, it is even more complicated than Professor Dwayne's "A Brief History of Klamman's Art".

Fortunately, Mu Yan's explanation was quite down-to-earth.

He says that the so-called "virtual reality mode" is to fight "phantom creatures", but that Seravri's phantom creatures are more refined and intelligent than common sense, that is, they have a stronger desire to attack, so they can cause substantial damage.

Fortunately, because the formation that generated this creature is very exquisite, the monster will automatically disappear before it causes fatal and maiming injuries, and of course, the students will also be judged to lose because of this.

The "full immersion mode" is similar to experiencing illusions, the difference is that the world that the student enters has nothing to do with his own memories and experiences, and is set by a third party a long time ago. The experience is like a student suddenly breaking into an opera, and the actors on stage do not stop the performance, but instead stage a new plot based on the intruder's actions and movements.

Among them, the training ground only has a "virtual reality mode", and the trainees will not fall into a deep sleep, dormant, and consume real physical strength. The arena has both, the "Full Immersion Mode" is used as a preview and warm-up for monsters, and the performance does not count towards points, and the students can play the "Virtual Reality Mode" after they are fully prepared, and destroy their opponents through real battles to earn points.

Dungeons, on the other hand, only have a "full immersion mode".

……

After reading a series of explanations, although it was foggy, Deres reacted quickly.

It's definitely a big deal.

And it was a completely new activity, unheard of and unseen for them, so it was no wonder that it was so detailed in such an important newspaper as "Bignius" that it even crowded the pages of "A Song of Frost and Fire".

All the way down, there is a line of extremely eye-catching large characters at the end

"At the beginning of July, Seraf awaits you!"

Behind it is a constantly beating countdown.

Just tomorrow!?

"Also, there are small print explanations!" Bob pointed to a line of words:

"'After the first class on the afternoon of June 30th, the Dark Moon Workshop and the founder of "Bignius" will hold a presentation for Seraf in the Weston Auditorium, where there will be Seraf's first-person experience process and detailed explanation, so stay tuned', who do you think this mysterious figure will be?"

Deres smiled, to this day, this Mu Yan teacher still keeps everyone in the dark.

As for the information session, it is a thing...... He can probably understand that it is a further explanation of this big news, as well as a further momentum.

But he didn't have time to think about it now, and there was only one thought in his head.

"If I didn't buy today's newspaper, I may regret it for the rest of my life."

Without saying a word, he ran out, leaving behind a group of people who looked at each other.

……

……

Because of this really big news, the whole campus was in a boil!

For the students, the impact of new terms and the advent of new gadgets are no less than the freshness brought by the succession of a new king, not to mention that it has been a long time since such a major event has happened in Jialan - this is the case for young people, who have not felt this kind of New Year-like atmosphere for a long time.

But it's a pain for the teachers. Many tutors found that their students couldn't get their minds back after they looked at the newspaper and then discussed the whole recess. As soon as the magic bell rings for the end of class, the classroom instantly transforms into a lively bazaar, where they compete to discuss terms they don't understand......

But there are also people who can understand, such as Mr. Philip.

Mr. Philip, who is in charge of "Geography", has suddenly learned a new class technique since that class, that is, starting with newspapers and stories, discussing the plot development of "A Song of Frost and Fire" with the students before each class, and then skillfully guiding the topic to the book.

In this way, it not only grabs the attention of the students, but also increases their motivation to participate in the discussion, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

That's what class is, what was it before......

And for Philip, this series of actions is not deliberately contrived, because he is an extremely senior "frost scientist" himself.

At the same time, as a veteran scout, he is extremely fast, and he is one of the few tutors who can run back to the classroom from the newsstand before the class bell disappears completely, so as not to delay the class.

So although he didn't get the bonus, he also bought 22 issues of the newspaper together.

When a group of mentors who have a good personal relationship discuss the plot in private, he is often the most confident one. Being able to combine what he loves most with his work is a great happiness for Philip.

So this time is no exception, when other teachers have a headache of "what are these little ghosts babbling", he is already sorting out his thoughts and preparing to speak.

As usual, his students stare at their instructor as soon as they start class, expecting him to explain what is in the newspaper.

Philip didn't react to the bell of class, and he didn't wake up from his contemplation until the student came to remind him.

"I'm sorry, I'm thinking too much." He patted his head and smiled, "But—I think you should be like me, after all, these things are too much—shock—shock." I can't stop thinking about what they look like, and I honestly want to get out of class right now and look forward to the afternoon briefing and early tomorrow......"

There was a burst of laughter from the audience.

"But I can't." Philip pretended to be disappointed, "This teacher's seat was reserved by Principal William to take care of us veterans, and I am too disrespectful to others, especially you." ”

After a pause, he continued, "But that doesn't mean I'll do nothing, after all, even in the shadows, I'm the most unruly thorn. I've decided to cancel this class for the time being, as I owe it to you, and now there are still 4 hours left until the afternoon seminar, and if nothing else, the mysterious owner of the Moon Workshop is preparing for the scene.

"If you agree, we'll split up into two teams, one to prepare lunch for the class, and the other to give up their lunch break and use the techniques I've taught you to find out what's going on at the Westwinter Hall. If all goes according to my expectations, we'll set out in full force and get to the top of the pack. If all goes well, we will not only be able to catch up on this lesson in the spacious auditorium, but we will also be able to get a sneak peek of this mysterious person.

"So, what do you think?"

The classroom fell into a deathly silence, and the students were dumbfounded, they did not expect that their "boldness" was not worth mentioning in front of this teacher......

This is the real thorn in the head......

But then, there was a sudden burst of cheers that almost knocked the roof off.

In their eyes, Mr. Philip seems to be more handsome.

"But, my students—" Philip waved quietly.

"First of all, we want to be quiet. There is no doubt that this is a violation, and it is serious. Therefore we must be like the Impur people hidden in the colossus of Mui - if any of you do not know this allusion, you can open today's handout and take a look at the special topography of the ancient city of Mamba...... Anyway, the worst outcome is that I lose my job, you change teachers, and of course you'll have to take a disciplinary action – but I don't care, I've never felt so much joy in my long teaching career as I have in these two months, so I think the adventure was worth it. ”

"Let us, then, set out quietly, like the Impurians hiding in the Colossus of Mui."

As the words fell, the students suddenly stood up silently, and then bowed to him in unison.

This time it was Philip's turn to be stunned.

The veteran stood stunned for a few seconds, and suddenly his nose was sore, and he felt the urge to cry.

The question he had been exploring for so many years after his discharge from the military was finally solved: What relationship does it take between teachers and students to maintain? As a mentor, what did he gain from his dedication at Jialan?

The scene in front of him gave him the best answer.

Respect and trust.

A group of people just slipped out of the classroom silently, and a few students from the magic department even blessed the slightly struggling students with "light body techniques" to ensure that their group of people were silent.

After the crowd stepped out of the teaching building, they divided into two ways, one to hide in the shadows, and a few of them went to the Weston Auditorium to inquire about the situation, and the other to the student cafeteria.

……

In the auditorium, Gawain was setting up the venue.

This is also the first time that Jialan has used the Weston Auditorium again in so many years, except for the beginning of the school season and the mid-term summer break.

It's a decoration, but in fact, there aren't many things that need to be decorated by him. Moreover, under the hands of the successive principals of Jialan, this auditorium has gradually detached itself from the concept of "architecture" and turned into a certain solidified "field".

It is not an exaggeration to say that the Weston Great Hall is a huge "prop".

Sitting in the auditorium, no matter how far or near, the stage is directly in front of the audience, and there are amplification enchantments from all directions, and the sound is like the whisper in the ear, in other words, this is a "single exclusive stereo IMAX2D theater" that can accommodate tens of thousands of people, which can be described as luxurious.

But having said that, there is always a distance from the main stage, and the host's gaze swept down, and the group of people in the front row who had the most friends were after all.

"I don't know how many people will come this time...... "Gawain muttered to himself, "there should be a lot of them......"

After all, Mu Yan has made a very interesting thing, and after experiencing it as an internal beta tester, he seems to have returned to his youth.

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt as if he was really a few years younger, and recently his wife had more heartfelt smiles on her face, and he had never felt so happy.

Suddenly, there was a slightly muffled sound of footsteps, and Gawain looked up to see a large number of students pouring into the entrance.

What's the situation?

There are at least three hours left before the start, shouldn't all the students be in class at this point?

What is this? Skipping classes en masse?

Just as he frowned, not knowing whether to report the situation to Principal William, an emaciated man suddenly stepped forward.

"Captain Gawain?"

"Filly the rabbit?"

"Sure enough, it's you! Abducted Tessa's group leader! ”

"Hah, you kid!"

The two looked at each other and smiled, hugging each other tightly.

It turns out that Philip was once a member of Gawain's mercenary group, and as an excellent scout, he was known for his speed, so he was called the short-eared rabbit. The two have been separated for many years, but they didn't expect to meet again in Jialan.

"So you ......," Gawain asked.

"Let's take a seat in advance." Philip winked at him, "Captain, don't say it." ”
