Chapter 57: The Stealth Test
After dinner, everyone in the Iron Shield Mercenary Regiment sat down on the sofa in the living room to rest, "Scott, tell me about the Thief Rank Exam." Yi Hui said to Scott. Scott has already passed the thief level exam, and with his guidance, Yi Hui can take a lot of detours if he takes the test again.
"Okay, I'll talk about that." Skorn nestled himself in the couch and half-reclined in a more comfortable position, his slender eyes narrowed slightly, and in a eloquent tone, he began to explain to Yi Hui everything he knew about the Thief Professional Qualification Exam.
"The Thieves Exam is held at this time of year, and it's November at the end of the year, and the exam lasts until the end of December. The exam is indefinite, as long as you sign up and go at any time, you can arrange for you to take the exam, and the content of the exam is divided into several items, such as stealth and stealth, dodge, attack speed and accuracy, and unlocking. ”
Speaking of which, Scott explained in detail to Yi Hui the specific content of the exam he had taken. Yi Hui took everything Scott said to heart. Scott waited for Yi Hui to digest the content of those exams a little before continuing to preach:
"This exam model is aimed at the assessment of thieves below level 5, and that's what I'm exposed to. As for the thief level above level 5, it's not something that can be improved by the exam.,Although I haven't been exposed to it, I know some.。
"Thieves above level 5 must first go through the qualification certification, that is, awaken the fighting spirit, only the thief who awakens the fighting spirit can be regarded as a level 5 thief, and he has the qualification to go up again. And the promotion from level 5 to level 6 does not depend on the basic surname of the individual, but on prestige, which simply means: completing a certain number of difficult tasks and challenges. ”
"For example, Argent, for example, became a level 7 thief by accumulating his reputation by completing tasks issued by the Thieves' Guild. The Thieves' Guild's mission is generally to "acquire a specific item", and you can gain reputation regardless of the means you use to complete the mission, whether in a fierce battle or stealthily by stealing. But for a thief, revealing his whereabouts in the process of completing a mission is often fatal, so stealing secretly is the right way to be a thief. ”
"Among the thieves, there are also combat-type thieves who specialize in combat, but the reason why thieves are thieves is of course to stealth, stealth, unlocking, etc., and they are thieves when they reach a certain standard, otherwise they are not thieves, but small arms warriors."
"So now all you have to do is to take the Thief Profession Rank Qualification Exam to obtain level recognition, and then awaken your fighting spirit to obtain the qualification to continue to improve."
After saying this, Scott spread his hands and said, "The above is the thief exam I know, and the higher ones I don't know anything about." ”
Occam and Kinley were also listening, and when Scott finished speaking, Kinley added: "Well, what Scott said is the test mode of thieves, and the test mode of our warriors is similar, except that the content of the test is attack and defense and tactical arrangement, and the most prominent indicator is used as the rating standard." This is different from the average thinking of the Thieves Guild, because we have a lot of warrior classifications. For example, if I am a great sword warrior, the test is attack power. Occam is all about defense. There are also some who want to meet the 'commander-in-chief' standard and take a strategic and tactical exam. ”
"Of course, below level 5 depends on quality, and above level 5 looks at prestige, which is consistent with the thief exam, and there is no other way for a warrior to gain prestige, which is to fight! If a warrior has a fatal flaw, it won't work, in that case, level 5 is the upper limit, and if you go up, you will either lose your life in battle or lose your surname in battle and be eliminated naturally. So in the later stage, the other indicators of high-level fighters are not much worse. ”
After listening to this, Yi Hui also has a general understanding of the hierarchy of the whole world, and professionals below level 5 can only be regarded as just getting started in this world, and they are still at this stage of exercising their basic qualities. Level 5 is a watershed, after the awakening of personal vindictiveness, everyone's professional style will develop towards their own characteristics, as for how long the road can go in the future depends on creation.
For example, Jin Li, now that he has awakened his fighting spirit, he can be said to be a senior warrior above level 5, as long as he goes to the Warrior Guild to take an exam, the chance of passing is almost 100%. However, for now, Jinli doesn't want to advance too early, because his defensive ability is still very flawed, even if he is promoted to level 5, it is useless, and he can only become a stepping stone for others to advance in vain.
"Anyway, let's talk about it after the exam, anyway, let's get a slightly better thief level badge first." Yi Hui thought to himself.
After cultivating for a few days, Yi Hui thought that he was in good shape, so he went to the Thieves' Guild to take the Thieves Professional Level Qualification Exam.
Following the route in his memory, Yi Hui found the Thieves' Guild, and at the Grade Qualification Assessment Office, Yi Hui received a sign with a number written on it, and according to the instructions of the staff, he came to the examination room at the lower level of the Thieves' Guild.
The entrance to the examination room was a long corridor, and there were already many thieves of all levels waiting at the door with numbered plates in their hands. As soon as Yi Hui arrived here, he felt more than a dozen thieves' eyes sweeping him from top to bottom, and in addition to this, Yi Hui also heard a few low exclamations.
Yi Hui thought to himself: "Oops, this white-headed black-backed ape suit from Argent's hand is really eye-catching, as the saying goes, if you are not afraid of thieves, you are afraid of thieves, not to mention that you are now in a den of thieves?" Be careful when you go out, don't get beaten around the corner of the alley. ”
Yi Hui thought again: "This is the thieves' union, I'm afraid they won't have any good fruit to eat if they do it here, what are you afraid of?" At most, it's okay to go out and dive and walk. Be sure to put your cloak on next time. ”
After waiting for a while, the thieves in front of Yi Hui entered the examination room one by one, and it was finally Yi Hui's turn.
Yi Hui handed the exam number in his hand to the staff at the door, pushed open the door of the examination room and strode in.
The examination room is divided into several halls of different shapes, one hall connected to the other.
The first test item is stealth, and the hall of this test is distributed in a long strip, about 400 meters long, interspersed with various artificial obstacles to simulate different terrains, and every 50 meters there is a referee to evaluate the thieves who take the test. The content of the test is very simple, that is, walking from one end of the hall to the other in a stealth state, and if you are found whereabouts, you will be scored according to the location where you were found, and every two judges who shake it will be counted as level 1.
Yi Hui had already known the content of the exam before, and for this kind of exam, Yi Hui had already thought of a solution. Coming to the starting point of the examination room, Yi Hui took a cursory look at the situation in front of him.
There was a referee fifty meters in front of Yi Hui, and this referee was also dressed as a thief, and he did not stand still as Yi Hui thought, but walked around patrolling. When Yi Hui came to the examination room, the first referee signaled whether Yi Hui could start the exam, and under Yi Hui's confirmation, the referee blew the whistle in his hand and turned his head. At this time, Yi Hui has ten seconds to hide, and after ten seconds, all the judges will look for traces of the thieves who took the exam in their area of responsibility.
"It's like hide and seek." Yi Hui thought to himself that he was full of confidence in this exam, so he was also very relaxed in his mentality.
Yi Hui enters the hidden state for less than ten seconds, two seconds is enough. As soon as the "invisible wings" opened, Yi Hui entered a state of invisibility.
A red smoke rose from the "Teng", and Yi Hui launched the "Fraud Magic" and jumped forward more than fifty meters. Originally, Yi Hui could have jumped a little farther, but the examination room was twisted and turned, and it was underground, and Yi Hui only dared to jump as far as his eyes could see, that is, he could bypass the first referee.
The first referee was obviously alarmed by the sudden burst of red smoke, and began to move quickly within his range of motion to find Yi Hui's whereabouts, and at the same time sent a letter to the second referee to signal that the reference personnel had begun to move here and asked him to get ready.
The second referee also increased his vigilance after receiving the signal from the previous referee, and quickly patrolled the area under his jurisdiction.
Yi Hui found a relatively remote corner after activating the skill, squatting and waiting for the cooldown of the "Fraud Magic" skill, watching the referee pass by in front of him, Yi Hui smiled secretly in his heart, the lol system skill is really an existence against the sky.
Yi Hui was wondering if it was time to push forward, when Referee No. 2 suddenly took out a small throwing knife from his waist bag and flew towards a place where he thought someone was hiding.
"You don't have anything like that, do you?" Yi Hui broke out in a cold sweat and didn't dare to move. "I also use a flying knife to probe, what if someone dies? Scott didn't say there was this content, could it be that the syllabus of the exam has been changed? ”
Just as Yi Hui was choked by the flying knife, in the branch head room of the Thieves Guild, an old man with lowered eyebrows but sharp eyes was staring at the magic imaging projection on the wall and observing every move in the sneaking examination room. The old man was not good-looking, even a little hunchbacked, but the posture of Argent, who was a member of the council, standing beside him, was undoubtedly humble.
"This is the kid you mentioned, the ingredients you added to the exam content are enough for him to drink a pot, is there really no problem?" The old man pointed to the referees holding throwing knives and darts in the image and said, "This kid has some doorways, and I can't see any traces when he hides it, but the movement of sneaking is too big, not only the red smoke, you look at this, this and this, these hidden marks have all been touched, didn't anyone teach him to be careful not to touch things when sneaking?" ”
"Yes, Fellow Elder. The young man had an amazing talent for stealth, and I didn't see much of his approach, which led the judges to add such a probe. I'd also like to study more of his stealth methods. To be honest, I've never seen a thief as strange as him, who can even 'disappear' when sneaking around, but has no common sense as a thief with his tail everywhere. As far as I know, his thief teacher is a level 3 thief, as you can imagine, hey...... This teacher of his is really not qualified. Argent sighed.
The old man smiled and said, "Argent, do you have a heart for cultivating him?" ”
"I had dealings with this young man, and he was a good-hearted man with a good temper for me," Argent said. As you said, "Thieves who are not obsessed with money can go further on this road." As far as I can see, he's the kind of guy who doesn't value money very much. Coupled with his genius in stealth, I really wanted to train him, but I didn't know if the branch president agreed. ”
"Don't call me branch president, there are no outsiders here, call me teacher." The old man stared at the influence with relish, "Are you worried that I won't agree to teach him the Shadow Walk?" What's this...... If you don't accept apprentices, let's take a look and talk about it. ”
