Xiao Ji said: "The preliminary round lasts for three days, and after three days, the 600 candidates with the highest score ranking can enter the finals!" ”

"The rest of the candidates will be cleared and brought back to the Liaoyuan."

"The biggest difference between the finals and the preliminary round is that the powerful demon beasts imprisoned in the underground caves of Demon Jiao Island will be released, and the strength of these demon beasts is not something that ordinary high school students can deal with!"

"If you can kill them, you will get far more points than killing ordinary demon beasts!"

"In addition, the six hundred candidates will be randomly divided into red and blue teams, and the two teams can attack at will, once the opponent is 'killed', that is, the opponent's puff beast sprays protective gel, then the opponent's points will all belong to you!"

"That is to say, not only do you have to fight with demon beasts, but you also have to compete with other candidates!"

Li Yao's heart moved, and he suddenly felt an inexplicable excitement.

Being able to enter the finals means that each candidate carries a large number of points, rather than working hard to kill the monsters, it is better to attack the enemy candidates, as long as you "kill" one, it is equivalent to killing dozens or even hundreds of monsters.

This kind of competition rule is undoubtedly very capable of arousing the strong desire of young people to fight and give full play to the full potential of candidates!

Xiao Ji continued: "The general rule is like this, after two days of finals, the candidates who still survive in the end will be ranked according to their respective points, the higher the ranking, the more likely they are to be favored by the observers of the 'Nine Majors', and the best ones don't even need to go through the college entrance examination, they will be directly 'specially recruited', so, Li Yao, work hard!" ”

"Special move!"

Li Yao's throat and eyes were a little dry, he licked his lips and asked, "Xiao Ji, how many students have been specially recruited in the past few competitions?" ”

The white puff beast tilted its head in thought, and a slight "buzzing" sound came from deep within its body.

Li Yao could hear that it was the sound of the crystal brain running at high speed, probably because it was collecting a few jù.

After a while, Xiao Ji said:

"In the past three challenges, in the No. 571 field, an average of 51 candidates have been recruited by the 'Nine Majors' every year, and even if they are not recruited, there is a possibility of 'reducing the score and admitting'."

"What is it to be admitted with reduced scores?" Li Yao asked.

"For example, you have a certain cultivation talent, which is very suitable for a certain university, but your overall strength is not too strong, and the final points are ranked in more than one hundred, more than two hundred, and even at the beginning of the finals, you encountered a very powerful demon beast and had to withdraw from the competition!"

"It doesn't matter if these things are liked, as long as the observers of the 'Ninth National Congress' take a fancy to you, they will sign a contract with you and give you a discount of five points, ten points, or even twenty points in the college entrance examination!"

"It's so cool!"

At this moment, Li Yao was really moved.

The college entrance examination is to cross a single-plank bridge with thousands of troops, "one more point in the test, crush thousands of people", this is not an exaggeration!

If there is a discount of more than ten or twenty points all of a sudden, the possibility of being admitted to a deep-sea university will be greatly improved!

"Great, even if I can't get into the top 50 out of 3,000 people, and I can't get the 'special recruitment' qualification, as long as I am excellent and strive for a five-point or even ten-point 'reduced point admission' discount, I haven't come to this trip in vain!"

Li Yao's mouth was dry and excited, he only felt that his body was full of energy and blood boiling, and he couldn't wait for it to be tomorrow morning, and he would start fighting immediately.

"No, I want to be calm, go to bed quickly, maintain sufficient physical strength and energy, tomorrow is the moment to decide my fate!"

Li Yao lay on the bed, pillowing his head with his hands, forcing himself to sleep, but he couldn't sleep.

In front of him, there was a scene of the "Demon Sword Peng Hai" driving the Xuanniao War Shuttle to appear in the sky above the playground.

That kind of unscrupulous domineering that crushed the whole audience was deeply imprinted in his brain and could not be forgotten for a long time.

"Me, do you have a chance to become the second Peng Hai?"

Li Yao's eyes widened, looking at the rust on the ceiling, tossing and turning, pressing the single bed "squeak".

……

While Li Yao was tossing and turning on the single bed, in another single room on the two decks above him, Si Jiaxue was welcoming a special guest.

"Professor Xie, thank you so much, I didn't expect you to come in person."

Si Jiaxue said respectfully, she greeted the refining expert of Shenhai University, Professor Xie Tingxian.

"Little girl, just call me Grandpa Xie, don't be so polite to me, I and your grandfather have been friends for nearly a hundred years, I think you were just born, and I hugged you with my own hands, hahahaha."

Xie Tingxian said with a smile, and then changed the conversation, "The little girl is looking for Grandpa Xie, but what's the matter?" Let's talk about it first, if it's a competition, Grandpa Xie can't just release water! ”

Si Jiaxue smiled faintly: "Grandpa Xie, my specialty is the calculation and analysis of numbers, I am afraid that I will embark on the path of a managerial cultivator in the future, and the most famous refining department of Deep Sea University is probably not suitable for me-so don't worry, I won't embarrass you." ”

Xie Tingxian's old face flushed: "Little girl, don't blame Grandpa Xie for having a small belly and chicken intestines, as this observer, the relationship between all aspects is too complicated, and sometimes I have to say ugly things in front." ”

Si Jiaxue nodded, took out a crystal brain from the backpack, and handed it over:

"I understand, Grandpa Xie, I invite you to come over this time, mainly because I want you to help me take a look at this crystal brain - this is my grandmother's relic, it is an antique more than a hundred years ago, it was broken a few days ago, I found someone to repair it, although it is repaired, it is not a big problem to use, after all, I don't know if there are any hidden dangers, so I want you to help me check it, I don't know if it is convenient?"

"I see, it's a trivial matter."

Xie Tingxian breathed a sigh of relief, his face became lively, his eyes swept over the crystal brain at will, and he let out a "huh", his eyes showing a luster of interest.

"It's the Guangling Type 7 Tubular Crystal Brain of Tianqin Gate, a product from one hundred and forty-four years ago, a very rare antique, so well maintained, good, not bad, you said you found someone to repair it? These days, there are really not many people who can repair such old antiques, I should take a good look, in case the internal structure is damaged, it will be a pity! ”

Xie Tingxian waved his right hand slightly, and he didn't see him cast a spell, and the crystal brain flew into the palm of his hand, dripping and spinning, and then, as if there was an invisible hand manipulating, the magic weapon components broke away from the main body one after another, floating lightly in mid-air, revealing the complex internal structure of the tube crystal brain.

"It's—"

Seeing the heat sink that obviously has traces of the heat dissipation structure of the modern crystal brain, but is seamlessly combined with the classical style of the tubular crystal brain, Xie Tingxian was stunned.

"How is it, Grandpa Xie, is there something wrong?" Si Jiaxue became nervous.

"Little girl, this is your fault." Xie listened to the strings and dragged the tone.

"I, what's wrong with me?"

The second monk Si Jiaxue was puzzled, and a trace of doubt appeared on her white and tender face.

Xie Tingxian glanced at her, saw that she really didn't understand, and frowned:

"Little girl, your crystal brain, you obviously asked a master to repair it."

"This master has redesigned the structure of the heat sink, the idea is very exquisite, and the assembly technique is also very skillful and perfect, which not only ensures the stability of the structure and heat dissipation efficiency, but also leaves room for future upgrades, and even can use the same way, add an additional heat sink to form a more efficient heat dissipation group, which can improve the performance of your crystal brain by more than 10%!"

"With such a deep understanding of the antique crystal brain, and such a clever technique, it should be a refiner, right?"

"You know, every refiner has his own dignity and has a strong confidence in his work, you chose to let someone to cultivate, but you didn't believe in others, and you brought it to me for testing, this is a great insult to him!"

"Once he knows about this, he will not only be malicious to you, but he will even be angry with me, and maybe he will have to compete with me at any time to see if I am qualified to overhaul his work!"

"So strict?" Si Jiaxue was startled.

"You are not a refiner, naturally you don't know the rules of the circle, every work is the work of the refiner, just like their children, and no one else is allowed to move! In this case, at least I have to talk to them first, and I can only do it with their permission, have you told them that I can do it? ”

Si Jiaxue shook her head in confusion.

"Alas, it's also my carelessness, I thought you just found someone to fix it, but I didn't expect it to be a real master, and it's a little troublesome now." Xie Tingxian said with some annoyance.

"But, but I just found someone to fix it, I found a classmate." Si Jiaxue stammered.

"What, your classmate—a high school student?"
