Chapter 62: The Selection Begins
When the whole city received the news of the selection on HarmonyOS, a major earthquake was triggered.
You must know that this Cloud Island Academy is not a unique academy of the Jin Kingdom, but a senior college jointly established by a hundred schools, only in the national capital of the seven great countries to set up branches, but the headquarters of the school palace is located in a small country called Di Kingdom, in order not to participate in the hegemony between the great powers.
Of course, only the teachers of the Academy and the disciples who voluntarily joined the Academy were not involved in the competition. Those ordinary students don't have this limitation.
There are not a few students who come out of the Yundao School Palace to worship the king, and they are all plated with a layer of gold, after all, the students recruited here are all geniuses who are known as geniuses. ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Sima Xin only needs to grant authority to artificial intelligence to screen out qualified talents from the city's eight million people, including the residents of Rogue Town. And only the information of those extremely talented people will be sent to Sima Xin's desk by artificial intelligence.
In the end, there were only fourteen people who entered Sima Xin's eyes, including Yi Ming, Li Jiaojiao and Li Qiuyu, who had already arrived in Longyang, so strictly speaking, only thirteen people in Letong could be regarded as real geniuses.
Soon after, all the young people who met the requirements received a second message, which was a message informing them to participate in the selection process, with the sentence "All selection programs are free" at the end of the message.
If there is no such rule, many children of the poor family will definitely not participate in this selection, after all, not everyone is a hunter with force and can obtain resources by hunting wild beasts.
Soon the day of the official start of the selection will come, and due to the large number of people involved in this selection, the preliminary examination will be carried out separately, and only the final selection will bring everyone together for the selection.
The location of the force selection is carried out in the largest square in Letong, "Lujing Square", because the number of people participating in the force selection is the largest, nearly 10,000 people, and this is the result of a primary screening of two million young people by artificial intelligence, otherwise the number will only be more.
The reason why the selection is carried out in the square is not because the square can accommodate 10,000 people to fight, but just to gather the testers to avoid cheating and other behaviors, and the real arena is in the Harmony space.
In this way, it is to avoid casualties, and secondly, the space in the Hongmeng space is sufficient, and it can simulate various combat environments, which is also another test of force. It's just that the venue is all 50 meters by 50 meters in the first test, and the venue will change randomly only when you enter the second test.
Both the intelligence selection and the comprehensive test are conducted in the Hunters' Association, and the total number of people selected for these two selections is only 3,000, which shows that there are many fewer people with real wisdom and people with skills.
The initial test will last for five days, and the force test will be conducted in the first three days, and only 100 people will be selected from 10,000 people to enter the second test. The fourth day was an intelligence test, and only fifty people were selected. On the fifth day, there was a comprehensive test, and only 30 people remained, because the least number of people participated in the comprehensive test.
The questions of the comprehensive test will be announced at the end of the third day of the force test, in order to give talents in various professions sufficient time to prepare.
The reason why Sima Xin designed the competition system like this is to give opportunities to those who have the ability to participate in multiple tests, although such talents are rare, but they are not impossible, for example, Li Jiaojiao is both martial arts and forging, and her IQ is not low, so if she is strong enough, it is not impossible for one person to occupy three places.
Some people are all-rounders, so you can't take them away from the opportunity. And he also wanted to see how many hidden geniuses there were in his city, and it would be a good thing to have them all under his command. ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Soon the first day of the martial arts selection began, and this first day was the most test of luck and strength, because everyone had to participate in ten battles to directly determine the top thousand. On the second day, the top 500 will be decided, and on the third day, the top 100 will be determined.
This means that everyone will not have much time to rest, and if they encounter a strong opponent in the first game and their physical strength is exhausted, they are likely to be defeated by a lucky rookie in the second game.
But there is a saying that "luck is also a part of strength", if the luck is worse than others, the opportunities in this life may not be much better.
Yi Ming's luck was very good, he only met a one-star peak hunter in the first game, and easily won the victory. But Li Jiaojiao's luck was better, and she directly drew a bye, after all, it was only nearly 10,000 people, not really 10,000 people to face off, so there were more than 100 byes in the first round.
The first four rounds of battles are not very intense, and some of the battles are pleasing to the eye, but in fact, rookies are pecking at each other, and there is no technical content at all.
The six people on Sima's new list who participated in the selection of force all easily entered the fifth round of battle.
From this round onwards, the testers' strength is at least two stars, and those who are confused or simply lucky are gone.
But looking at the whole audience, only about 300 people behaved more easily, and the rest were more or less injured.
Now Yi Ming has also encountered a little trouble, he met a three-star hunter named Fei Bai in this round, although his strength is not as good as him, it is not easy to win easily.
In the ring, which was not too big, Yi Ming held a spear and looked at the opponent in front of him who was holding a rifle.
The limitation of the field is very unfriendly to the ranged class, but Yi Ming's opponent has a steady breath, and it is obvious that the previous battles have not made him too strenuous.
Yi Ming wanted to wait for the opponent to shoot first, but Fei Bai obviously also wanted to fight behind, so the scene was stalemate for a while. But as soon as the two minutes passed, Yi Ming couldn't help but make a move.
He stepped on a special rhythm, as if he rushed towards Fei Bai slowly, and the path of progress was tortuous, making it difficult for Fei Bai to lock on to his figure for a while. This is the body method taught to him by Zhang Xiaofei, the Dragon and Snake Dance, which is said to be the body method created by the Beast Emperor himself.
Fei Bai looked at Yi Ming, who was approaching him quickly, and changed several positions in a row, and with each change of position, he would tentatively shoot a bullet, trying to find Yi Ming's flaws, but obviously his plan was in vain.
Seeing this situation, Fei Bai decisively switched the rifle from single-shot mode to burst shot, and shot a firepower net composed of hundreds of bullets towards Yi Ming, which was also mixed with several special bullets such as tranquilizer bullets and electric shock bullets.
Under Fei Bai's control, the landing point of each bullet was different, and Yi Ming's possible landing point was accurately calculated.
Looking at the oncoming firepower, Ease of Ease Ming did not panic at all, he only focused his mind, his eyes narrowed slightly, and the movements under his feet changed one after another, narrowly dodging one bullet after another, and while dodging, he was constantly closing the distance with Fei Bai.
When Yi Ming was only fifteen meters away from Fei Bai, the rate of fire of the rifle in Fei Bai's hand suddenly accelerated, Yi Ming couldn't dodge, and two bullets were hit in his left shoulder, but fortunately, these two bullets were ordinary bullets, which didn't cause much damage to him, but it also made his pace of progress pause.
However, this does not mean that Fei Bai is out of danger, because Yi Ming has been consciously forcing Fei Bai into a dead corner when he is advancing, and now Fei Bai is moving around on a small piece of territory in the upper left corner of the ring, but there are not many places he can move.
And Fei Bai also realized this, but he didn't have a good way to solve it for a while, so he gritted his teeth, took out a long-cherished four-star high-explosive bomb, and pushed it into the chamber.
If it weren't for the fact that this selection wouldn't have consumed their original consumption, one of the reasons.
Yi Ming also saw his movements, and with his current knowledge reserves, he naturally recognized the high-explosive bullet, which was a powerful bullet that he couldn't resist now. So he stopped only ten meters away from Fei Bai, changed his way to jump sideways from side to side, no longer approached, and even retreated a little back.
When Fei Bai saw Yi Ming's movements, he knew that the opponent in front of him would definitely not be able to withstand the four-star high-explosive bomb, so he concentrated his energy like never before, and predicted Yi Ming's movements with the help of the auxiliary aiming system.
"Bang", the bullet came out of the chamber, and because the distance was not far, it flew in front of Yi Ming's body in an instant, followed by a violent explosion, forming a ball of flames in the ring, raising countless smoke and dust.
Two seconds later, a figure rushed out of the smoke, and at the same time raised the war knife in his hand and put it on Fei Bai's neck, which was naturally Yi Ming.
When Fei Bai was aiming at him, he was not idle, his energy was always highly concentrated, and he threw the spear in his hand before the high-explosive shell was about to hit, causing the high-explosive shell to explode three meters away from him.
But Yi Ming was also uncomfortable in the explosion, although he looked just a little disgraced, but in fact he had suffered a lot of internal injuries.
He forced his way out of the Spectral Fire and launched a final charge through the smoke and dust, and he won the contest.
Fei Bai, who lost, did not complain at all, after all, Yi Ming's identity as the son of the city master has been officially revealed, and it is not a shame to lose to the righteous son of the city lord, and he knows that it is not easy for Yi Ming to win him, so his heart is much more balanced.
At the end of the competition, the two withdrew from the Hongmeng space one after another, Fei Bai shook his head and left the square, and Yi Ming also seized the time to recover from his internal injuries.
Although this is a competition in the virtual space, it will not cause actual damage, but the damage index is set, and what it looks like when you exit the HarmonyOS space and come back again is also the same state, and it will not be full because you quit and re-enter.
And after the injury exits, you will feel the same pain in reality, and it will continue until the end of the three-day initial test, but in the state of recovery in reality, how much will you recover when you return to the HarmonyOS space.
Yi Ming's battle Sima Xin has been paying attention to, and at this time, he instructed the bright lantern next to him to investigate Fei Bai carefully, and he planned to start taking him under his command.
Because this Fei Bai is one of the people who have the hope of entering the Cloud Island Academy Palace this time, although he was unfortunately defeated when he met Yi Ming in the selection of martial arts, his real talent is reflected in his sub-profession "trainer". Trainers are the best class at cultivating all kinds of rare plants, and when they are strong enough, they can even tame beasts and even monsters to cultivate.
At the same time, Fei Bai is also a personal disciple of the farmer Wei Shuang,
If such a talent can join Sima Xin's command, then it is not impossible for him to join the Shanhai Club after some tests.
The first day of selection lasted until half past seven in the evening, and after the last round of competition, the 2,000 people who quit the HarmonyOS space all sat cross-legged and began to recover.
It's not that all of them are injured and need to recover urgently, it's just that ten rounds of competition in a row are a little tiring for these young people whose strength is no more than five stars.
The first person in this group of people to stand up was actually Li Jiaojiao, because she had stepped into the ranks of five-star hunters in the past few months, and she was lucky enough that she didn't meet anyone who could cause her much trouble, so she was just a little tired.
After recovering a little, she walked and stood on the edge of the square, as if waiting for someone.
Soon, one figure after another stood up and left the square quickly or slowly, but Li Jiaojiao still did not leave, and looked a little anxious.
Finally, after another five minutes, the two of them walked up to the anxious Li Jiaojiao with a smile and a closer look, these two people were Yi Ming and Jeliman.
The two met purely by chance, and they didn't see each other for a while, so they walked together to get to know each other.
Li Jiaojiao was not so worried when she saw the two of them coming, because she already knew that Yi Ming and Jeryman had passed the first day's preliminary exam.
She was a little unhappy just looking at Yi Ming's hippie smiling face, and was about to punch him hard, but when she thought that he had recovered for so long and might have been injured, she held back.
Before she could speak, Yi Ming smiled first and said, "Captain, how are you doing lately?" ”
