Chapter 40: To Minkai City
August 14th.
7:30 a.m.
Sitting in Zhou Yi's car, Chen Chen embarked on a journey to Kaiming City.
"Boy, how's the preparation going? Do you have the confidence to make it to the 3rd round? Zhou Yi drove the car and looked at Chen Chen, who was drowsy in the rearview mirror.
Chen Chen, who wanted to sleep when he got in the car, heard Zhou Yi's voice, raised his hand and rubbed his eyelids that were about to stick together.
"Well, I know a little bit about the event and the process."
Seeing that Chen Chen was still sleepy, how could Zhou Yi, who seized the opportunity, let him sleep like this.
"What are they? Let's talk about it. ”
Shaking his head, Chen Chen cheered up.
"The full name of this elf battle competition is the Quartz Freshman Challenge Cup, which is a campus challenge jointly organized by Jinxin Group and a number of governments. As long as you enter the top 64, you will be able to receive the official prizes of the event. After the top 8, the whole game will be broadcast live on TV. If you can get the first place in the competition, I heard that in addition to the cash prize of 30W yuan, there will be a special reward. The competition will also invite many well-known guests in the industry, and students who have achieved excellent results in the competition may even get a place in the university. ”
Zhou Yi couldn't help but be happy when he saw Chen Chen, who was no longer so sleepy now.
"That's it, talk more, young people, you can't always be like an old man, get in the car and go to sleep."
"......" Faced with Zhou Yi's statement, Chen Chen said that the concubine couldn't do it.
In fact, Chen Chen didn't know what the reason was, at the beginning of his memory, it had become a habit to sleep as soon as he got in the car. Before getting on the bus, no matter how excited I was, less than 5 minutes after getting in the car, all the excitement on my body was gone.
I couldn't help it, after Chen Chen answered Zhou Yi's question, he snapped, fell into the back seat, and fell asleep in an instant.
Seeing Chen Chen, who fell in an instant, the corners of Zhou Yi's mouth couldn't help twitching a few times.
Reach out and turn up the volume of the music in the car to the maximum and start swaying to the rhythm of the music.
However, no matter how loud the music was, no matter how hilarious Zhou Yi was, Chen Chen slept deeply as if he hadn't heard it.
I don't know how long it took for Chen Chen to wake up from his dream again, which was when Zhou Yi's car arrived at its destination.
got out of the car, stretching and moving his muscles. Chen Chen was also looking at the hotel they were going to stay in.
It's similar to the hotel in Lincheng, but outside this hotel at the moment, the endless flow of people is much more than the flow of people in Lincheng.
Starting tomorrow, there will be a three-day qualifier, and with the main event after that, it will take about 10 days.
In other words, Chen Chen and his wrist strength will stay in Kaiming City for 10 days.
As far as time is concerned, Chen Chen doesn't care very much. What he cares about is the cost of accommodation and food for the 10 days. You know, these Zhou Yi will not bear it for him. In other words, this fee will be deducted from Chen Chen's pocket money.
After seeing the price of the hotel, Chen Chen couldn't help but gasp.
Hey, are you sure this is a one-star hotel? Why do you want 588 a night in a standard room? Does this count as a starting price? I'm going to find the Consumer Association! (╥╯^╰╥)
After honestly paying the fee for 3 days, Chen Chen came to his room sadly with the key.
Lifting the curtains, a huge stadium appeared in front of Chen Chen.
After arriving at the room, Chen Chen also released his wrist strength as soon as possible.
That's where the Quartz Freshman Challenge Cup will be held.
"Force."
As soon as his wrist strength arrived in this room, he jumped onto the soft big bed like a flutter, and his face showed a look of enjoyment.
After looking at the scenery outside for a while, Chen Chen also came to the bed, turned on his mobile phone, and found that there were several messages looking for him.
Zhou Yi: After putting things away, let's go downstairs, let's go have a meal first, and then go to the venue at 8 o'clock in the evening to draw lots.
Chen Chen: Okay, I'll come down right away.
After sending the message, Chen Chen looked at the wrist strength lying on the bed with a look of enjoyment.
"Wrist strength, let's go out to dinner first, after I draw the numbers of the game, let's come back and rest."
As soon as he heard that he was eating, his wrist strength was no longer lying down, and a carp jumped up directly from the soft bed, urging Chen Chen to hurry downstairs.
When he walked downstairs, he found that Zhou Yi was already waiting in the hall.
"Uncle Zhou, shall we go?"
Seeing Chen Chen and his wrist strength coming downstairs, Zhou Yi said, "Well, by the way, have you ever been to Kaiming City before?" ”
As you walk down the road, you can see the fruit trees planted on both sides of the sidewalk.
"No, I'm just an otaku, and I don't usually go out to travel."
Zhou Yi stretched out his hand to pick the lychee from the tree on the side, and opened the shell, revealing the snow-white flesh, and the sweet smell came from the surface.
"As a young man in the new century, how can he be so decadent? As the saying goes, it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read 10,000 books. How can you stay at home all the time, not to mention that this is not good for your health, you will have to take the trainer route in the future, and it is the norm to go out to travel. ”
When Chen Chen saw Zhou Yi's skillful technique, he couldn't help but wonder a little: "Isn't it a bit bad for you to pick lychees like this and eat them......
"What, that's the case in Kaiming City, these fruit trees are planted for passers-by to eat, you just don't throw the peels and pits around. You can also taste the lychees here, which are particularly sweet. ”
Chen Chen can be regarded as a long insight, if you put it in the past, if someone wants to say that the government will plant fruit trees on the roadside, he will definitely reply, you are stupid, right? Not to mention planting trees, and not charging money for people to eat as much as they want.
Picking one according to Zhou Yi's appearance, he looked around from time to time when he pulled the shell, for fear that someone would stop him at this time, saying that he was a thief who stole fruit.
After watching it for a long time, he didn't see anyone paying attention to him, so he was relieved, put the dialed lychee pulp into his mouth, and a stream of fresh sweet juice burst out between his lips.
"That's right, Uncle Zhou. What did you just say that tourism is the norm for trainers? What's going on? ”
While enjoying the sweet juice of lychees, Chen Chen did not forget the trip that Zhou Yi said just now.
Do trainers still have to travel? Isn't it just a matter of taking the vocational trainer exam directly after studying at university?
Zhou Yi looked around, looking for a suitable restaurant.
"It's a second-year college assignment, and some colleges don't start until the third year. When the time comes, college student trainers will sign up for a competition called the National College Trials, also known as the Phoenix King Nanfei. The contest begins one year after registration, during which students receive a map of the various gyms from their instructors. You need to go to these gyms on foot or bicycle to compete, and after getting the approval of the owner, you can get a badge. Collect 8 badges and you will be able to participate in the Phoenix King Nanfei competition in a year's time, and the judges will determine your trainer level based on your performance in the competition. You can think of this game as a positioning game. There's a nice restaurant over there, let's go, let's go there. ”
After half an hour of searching, I finally found a restaurant that looked good.
Once inside, the waiter came up with the menu.
"What do you order?" Zhou Yi handed the recipe to Chen Chen.
"I'll see." After Chen Chen made some marks on it with a pen, he handed the recipe back.
Zhou Yi looked at the dish, took a pen and hooked it a few times before handing it to the waiter.
"Then, the trainer level obtained in the Phoenix King Nanfei competition is your trainer level. The Trainer level is registered with the Elven Alliance, and the higher the level, the more difficult the tasks you will receive, and the higher the difficulty of the mission, which also means high rewards. Each time you complete a task, you will get corresponding points, which can be exchanged for materials, resources, and even elves in the Elf Alliance. ”
"It feels like the bounty guild in the novel." After listening to this, Chen Chen concluded.
Zhou Yi nodded and said, "It's almost, maybe the establishment of this mechanism is based on the model of the Bounty Guild." ”
Chen Chen then asked: "Then, that trainer level should be able to be promoted, how to be promoted, is it difficult?" ”
"Of course, you can be promoted, but not necessarily if it's difficult. For example, if you are a super elf trainer, your promotion will be easier and less crowded. The promotion task is still cumbersome and time-consuming. So, if you can, it's best to set your rank a little higher, so that you can save a lot of trouble. ”
The waiter brought a plate of peanuts so that customers could have something to do while waiting.
"What are the trainer levels? If you want to cultivate more elves, what conditions are needed, and is it related to this level? Chen Chen said.
Zhou Yi picked up a peanut with chopsticks and threw it into his mouth, "It's quite crispy." ”
"It depends on how many elves you cultivate, and the difficulty of applying is different."
"If you are the first elf, you only need to be old enough to pay a little money to apply. You've also applied.
In the case of the second elf, the normal channel is to be admitted to the elf college of the university, in which case you can apply for the second elf.
The third elf is when you get a letter of recommendation from the college.
The fourth elf is that you can apply after you get your undergraduate diploma.
The fifth elf can only be applied if you have made a certain contribution to the Elf Alliance, or have enough points.
As for the sixth elf, it's a lot of trouble. You must make a certain contribution to the elven field, and you must have 3 elf researchers to apply for a guarantee to the elf alliance, and you can only apply after passing the alliance's assessment. ”
Hearing what Zhou Yi said, these are what Chen Chen can remember at once. After listening to it, I was still confused.
Zhou Yi added: "Don't be too anxious about this, after all, you are only a rookie trainer now, and you can cultivate your wrist strength well, no worse than those who cultivate two elves." To a certain extent, if you have the same resources as others, you cultivate one, and others cultivate two. That elf of yours must have more resources than others, and when it comes to fighting, it may be possible to do one or two. ”
After Zhou Yi proposed this concept, Chen Chen fell into deep thought.
