Chapter 177: Background
"Vice Principal Yao, can I ask questions?" Someone in the audience raised their hand.
"Of course." Vice President Yao smiled, "What's your problem?" ”
"Will we still have our memories sealed this time?"
"Not this time." Vice President Yao said with a smile: "Not only will it not seal everyone's memory, but it will also give everyone a day to check the relevant information in order to prepare in advance, but it needs to be stated that some of the information that you can find at present cannot be guaranteed to be authentic, and you need to screen it yourself." ”
Before the words fell, another student in the audience raised their hands: "Vice principal, may I ask what role we are taking into the dream trial this time?" ”
"That's a good question." Vice Principal Yao gave a thumbs up to the Emei Academy student, and then explained, "The identities of all the contestants are set to be unknown cultivators of the small sect, and you will be randomly assigned to the vicinity of the Beishui River after being dispersed. ”
"Can we huddle with each other?" A Kunlun Academy student raised his hand and asked.
"Yes, but it's not recommended." Vice Principal Yao replied: "The Dream Trial System is a highly intelligent system, and the difficulty of completing the task will be reduced, and the corresponding score will also be reduced. ”
"Is there a time limit for the assessment?" A Penglai Academy student asked.
"Of course." Vice Principal Yao nodded: "According to historical records, the duration of the First Battle of Bei Shui from the outbreak to the end was about twelve days, and the time flow rate in the Dream Trial was about 10 to 1 from the outside world, in other words, you would have twelve days inside, and only twelve hours outside. ”
"Is there a specific grading criterion?" A Louvre student asked.
"Nope." Vice Principal Yao replied simply: "I can only tell you that there are many rules that you can discover by yourself in the trial, but there is only one principle, that is, the more beneficial things can be to the battle situation, the more you can increase your score." ”
When he said this, Fang Yu's brows furrowed, and from Vice Principal Yao's words, he heard a trace of deep meaning.
In other words, it's not that the more enemies you kill, the higher your score, but rather that you can increase your score in other clever ways.
"If you don't have any other problems, you can disperse, tomorrow morning at nine o'clock, the dream trial will start on time, everyone has a night to prepare, come on." Vice President Yao smiled and encouraged everyone.
The teachers and students of the other four schools were arranged to rest in special dormitories, while Fang Yu and the others hurried to the library to go through the records of the "First Battle of Beishui".
There are many books in the library of Shushan College, and there is naturally information about the "Battle of Beishui", but the content is often mixed, and it is true that as Vice President Yao said, most of the records are some key nodes in the later period, and there are few records of the content in the early stage of the battle.
However, this was difficult for Fang Yu, after he flipped through the relevant materials of the "First Battle of Beishui", he had the idea to consult other materials of the same era, especially paying attention to some sect introductions in the area near the Beishui River.
Thanks to his ability to remember, Fang Yu was able to memorize many details that ordinary people couldn't remember in a short period of time, and gradually, it seemed as if a map was unfolding in his mind.
The geographical location, the strength of the sect and the relationship between the sects, including the key nodes of the battle, were all imprinted in his mind, and gradually extended to one piece, forming an intricate web.
It seems that there are some truths that are not recorded in the information and are about to come out.
……
After a good night's rest, early the next morning, Fang Yu came to the square in front of the teaching building on time, and the other contestants were also there, full of energy and eager to try.
As the host, most of the students of Shushan College came to the square, one is to watch this rare game, but to cheer for their own college.
At nine o'clock, Vice President Yao walked up to the rostrum, holding a highlighter in his hand, looked at the audience and said, "Are you all ready?" ”
"Ready." There was a neat answer from below.
"Okay, then this five-school joint examination officially begins."
Vice President Yao said as he drew an arch in the air with the highlighter in his hand, and a special light flowed out from the tip of his pen, forming a cloud gate in the air that emitted a cute white light.
"Finally, to emphasize one point, the principle of the Dream Trial is similar to the illusion spell, so there are not too many security risks, but once you are seriously injured or die on the way to the trial, the real body will be teleported out, which is equivalent to the end of the personal trial, everyone remember, right?"
"Remembered."
"Okay, let's ask the fifty students who took the exam to come to the front and pass through the Cloud Gate in turn." Vice President Yao beckoned the candidates from the five schools to come to the stage.
Under his instructions, all the students who took the exam walked into the Cloud Gate in turn, and Fang Yu was naturally no exception.
When he passed through the cloud gate, he only felt a cool mist rushing to his face, and then his consciousness was in a trance for a while, and then he quickly regained consciousness and saw the situation around him clearly!
He was sitting under a tall pine tree, dressed in the kind of ancient costume that can only be seen on television, with a cup of tea and a chessboard in front of him, and an ancient book in his hand, as if he was studying.
Sitting next to him were a man and a woman, dressed in the same way as him, but both in a static state, like soulless puppets.
Fang Yu was very sure that these two people were not among the fifty students who came in with him to take the exam, in other words, these should be two system NPCs, perhaps arranged to assist him in completing the task.
And the most important thing is that the ancient book was originally blank, but now it is slowly emerging with clear handwriting.
"Two days ago, a poisonous plague suddenly broke out in the upper reaches of the Beishui River, and dozens of monks died on the spot, and it was later found out that these cultivators were all infected with a Gu poison called petrified spirit poison, which will turn people's bodies into stiff stones in a few minutes, and even powerful cultivators are not spared."
"It is rumored that this spiritual venom comes from the Snakehead Demon, so the surrounding sects began to investigate the death of the Yunxian Trace Monk, and unexpectedly found that above the Wunian Sect, which was thirty miles away from the Yunxian Trace, a layer of black qi was faintly shrouded."
"Immediately afterwards, several sects negotiated with the Wunian Sect, and at the same time secretly investigated, and unexpectedly found that this sect was full of suspicions, and it seemed to be inextricably linked with the demon clan."
"A large net hidden in the shadows seems to be being revealed......"
The handwriting came to an abrupt halt, and the ink faded from the white paper, apparently in the background.
And what Fang Yu had to do next was to use his actions to have a positive impact on that big battle.
Although there were many masters in that big battle back then, as long as you can tilt the balance of victory and defeat a little bit because of your own existence, you should be able to get the corresponding score.
