Chapter Seventy-Eight: A Different Choice
The Rat is a low-level monster that inhabits the ground, has strong fecundity, and is agile, and is also aggressive when cornered.
According to the practice of previous years, the Education Bureau selected dozens of examination rooms at the edge of the fog in advance, and set up baits underground to attract low-level monsters that resemble fierce rats, which are numerous, small and relatively agile.
When the exam begins, the Education Bureau releases a variety of irritating chemicals, infrasound waves or ultrasound waves to lure monsters out of the ground and run around the exam room for candidates to hunt.
The fierce devouring rat is fast and agile, as slippery as a loach, and it is difficult to kill at the level of a high school student, but the attack power is low, even if dozens of heads surround it, at most the candidate will be bitten all over the body.
Candidates have gel protective clothing, physiological parameters are monitored, and there are invigilators patrolling next to them.
The Phantom Cat is a medium-sized feline monster with sharp claws, quick movements, and a certain degree of aggression, but it is not an invincible enemy for "prospective undergraduates".
It should be noted that "the rest of the high-level monsters".
According to the practice of previous years, in the second half of the actual combat test, the examiner will always release some of the more fierce big guys to let the best of the candidates compete.
If you want to be admitted to the ace major of a prestigious school, these "bosses" with extremely high scores cannot be missed.
Meng Chao thought about it, lined up with Chu Feixiong, walked into a huge military tent, and exchanged for exam equipment.
The "currency" used for the exchange is the score of the written test they just had.
This is a special rule that the Longcheng Education Bureau came up with in order to encourage candidates to be both civil and military.
If you want to take the undergraduate exam, the results of the written test will not be brought into the final ranking, and everyone will only fight for actual combat.
But the equipment tested in actual combat, except for the gel combat suit on the body, everything has to be exchanged for test scores.
Even a dagger, a bullet, that's true.
The better you score in the written test, the more guns and ammunition you can exchange for and better quality cold weapons.
The total score of the written test is 1,200 points, and the top students of the three famous schools can generally score more than 900 points, exchange for more than ten or twenty magazines, semi-automatic rifles with infrared sights, and "super alloy war knives" with hairblown and broken hair, and the hunting efficiency has been doubled.
As for ordinary candidates, if they only score six or seven hundred points, they have to carefully weigh between the superalloy war knife and the guns and ammunition.
If you want to shoot more fierce devouring rats, you can only exchange for low-level war knives refined from ordinary materials, and maybe, before you can cut two monsters, you will roll up the blade.
As for those with well-developed limbs and simple minds, if they only scored three or five hundred points in the exam, they basically withdrew from the competition of prestigious schools - no matter how powerful they practiced the three basic power methods, it was impossible to kill hundreds of fierce devouring rats with their bare hands, right?
Of course, there are some special candidates who are physically weak, but they have strange talents, such as mechanical direction, medicine refining direction, and mind control direction.
When they were in high school, they participated in various professional competitions and got a lot of extra points.
When it comes to the actual combat test, you can get a variety of luxurious equipment, such as a reinforced exoskeleton with strong firepower, to make up for the lack of combat effectiveness.
It's just that to enjoy the "competition bonus points", you can only apply for designated majors.
For example, those who pass the "High School Mechanical Competition" can only apply for the mechanical department, and are not allowed to apply for the martial arts department, the heroic spirit department and the beast control department.
That's fair.
When Meng Chao and Chu Feixiong walked into the equipment room, they saw such a person, with pale skin, puffy eye bubbles, weak lower limbs but developed upper limbs, and at first glance he was a senior otaku, wearing a set of reinforced exoskeletons with fierce firepower, looking like a mechanical monster.
This is a mechanical genius, and the two have nothing to be jealous of, so they look at each other and smile, and go in to choose equipment.
"Meng Chao?"
There were already several young men in the equipment room, and when they saw Meng Chao, one of them had a bright eye and called out quite kindly.
Meng Chao recognized this as the student president of Jianshe Middle School, "Luo Hai" who had shaken hands in the spiritual test.
By the way, his father seems to be a six-star transcendent who lives in Dragon City No. 1, Master Luo Wu, the "Soul Breaking Knife".
"Come on, come on, I'll introduce you."
Luo Hai smiled and beckoned, as if the two were very familiar with each other, "This is the 'Fang Da' of the first middle school, and this is the 'Xie Feng' of the second middle school, they are all outstanding students in their respective schools, this time we are in the 5523 examination room, just the two of them are the most powerful, where they are hunting later, you hurry up and stay away, otherwise, the fierce devouring rats will be killed by them!" ”
"This is ......"
Fang Da and Xie Feng's father is also a Heavenly Realm powerhouse of the level of "Soul Breaking Knife" Luo Wu, they are a circle, and they are naturally familiar with Luo Hai.
It's just that I haven't seen Meng Chao before, and when I see that he doesn't look amazing, I can't help but be suspicious.
"This classmate Meng Chao is the best in the ninth middle school, and he is very famous in our Hulin District." Luo Hai said with a smile.
"Nine?"
The two elites of the first and second middle schools glanced at each other and couldn't help but sneer.
Meng Chao glanced at it, but he grasped the mentality of the three of them very well.
Luo Hai seems to be enthusiastic, but he has his twists and turns in his heart, and it is estimated that he wants to push Meng Chao out to attract the attention of the two elites, and when he is tested in actual combat later, he will avoid entanglement with these two people, and be kind enough to quickly clear the monster and brush up the score without distraction.
Fonda in No. 1 Middle School is a dough-faced fat man who looks harmless to humans and animals, but his eyes are shining, and he is a character who is not easy to deal with.
Xie Feng in the second middle school is more arrogant, and he also has the capital to be arrogant.
Although they all have their own careful thoughts, these children of wealthy families who have not graduated from high school still have a bit of forge ahead and vigorous taste after all, and they are not too annoying.
Meng Chao bowed, said hello to Luo Hai, and went to choose equipment.
Since it was to deal with a small monster with agile movements, guns were of course the best choice, and the three of Luo Hai all carried more than one firearm and a large number of bullets.
Of course, cold weapons are also indispensable, otherwise the bullets run out, and you can only catch mice empty-handed, which is really embarrassing.
The main hunting target of last year's combat test was the "Golden Claw Spider", which is suitable for slashing with the "Thunder Cross Sword".
This year's fierce devouring rat is the most suitable to deal with with the downward knife and rolling knife of the "Hundred Battles Knife Method".
Almost all of them exchanged their swords.
The bones of the Devouring Rat are particularly hard, and the Lower Knife and the Rolling Knife are extremely damaging to the blade, so everyone exchanged for the extremely high-quality Super Alloy Battle Knife.
The elites of prestigious schools with high written test scores often redeem more than one sword.
When it was Meng Chao's turn, he thought deeply.
"Although my grades are good, the leaders of the three prestigious schools are not vegetarians, they are all children of wealthy families, with the support of huge resources, and similar actual combat tests, I am afraid that they have been conducted countless times at home.
"If you work hard, it is not a big problem to be admitted to Long University or Agricultural University, but if you want to ensure your favorite major, you need to think about it.
"How can I use the monster knowledge I have so far to clear as many monsters as possible?"
Closing his eyes, Meng Chao's mind came up with the structure of the fierce devouring rat and the use of various materials in his body.
After a while, he had a plan and chose the "Type 35 Light Grenade".
Quantity, let's start with ten.
"Didi!"
The price of each grenade was "twenty points", and his written test score was immediately deducted two hundred points.
Ten grenades plus a tactical rucksack are delivered to the hand on a conveyor belt, which can be easily attached to the socket of the gel combat suit.
Chu Feixiong chose a light machine gun with powerful firepower, and the two crossed bullet chains were wrapped around his chest again and again, with his more than 200 pounds of tiger's back and bear's waist, like a war maniac.
Seeing Meng Chao's choice, he couldn't help but say "hey": "Meng Chao, are you going to use the 'anti-monster grenade' to smash the fierce rats?" What a waste! ”
Yes, light grenades have always been the most convenient thermal weapon for harvesting small monsters such as snakes, insects, rats, and ants.
But there is a premise, the mobs must gather in groups to form a dense insect or rat tide.
At that time, a grenade was dropped, and a large piece of death would be killed when it exploded, not to mention how refreshing it was.
In the undergraduate actual combat test, the number of fierce rats cannot be so large that they form a rat tide, and they will definitely scatter and flee when they are chased by thousands of murderous candidates.
It's fast, it's quick, it's fast, and its needle-like fur has some defense against fragments.
A grenade is thrown over, killing at most one or two, and a lot of damage is wasted, so it's better to use bullets.
At the very least, bullets are cheap, and even three or five rounds of ammunition to take out a fierce rat is better than wasting a grenade.
Meng Chao smiled, weighed the weight of the ten grenades, and felt that he could still bear it.
He exchanged ten more light grenades and five more expensive incendiary bombs.
These guys hung on their bodies, not to mention Chu Feixiong, even Luo Hai and the three of them, as well as the other candidates who chose equipment, were shocked.
What is this guy going to do, he thinks his written test score is too high, and he has to squander it?
They all stared at Meng Chao to see how he could play with more than 300 points left.
Meng Chao chose a "blitzkrieg knife".
Type 10 Blitzkrieg Knife, after Dragon City has traveled through ten years, condenses hundreds of ancient war knife patterns in the Earth Era, integrates dozens of modern saber essences, and is a super war knife refined from alloy.
With a total length of 0.9 meters and a weight of 4.5 kilograms, the center of gravity is well-proportioned, and there is a lightning-like pattern on both sides of the blade, which can improve hardness and speed, and the master can swing at full speed, and even break through the speed of sound.
By the standards of the Earth era, this is a perfect sword.
