Chapter 8 Practical Exams
The virtual sports system is a product born after more than 500 years of human development and the development of virtual reality technology to a heyday.
Today's virtual reality technology has been able to reflect virtual senses, such as touch, taste and even murderous breath to the human brain to a certain extent.
Although fighting in the field can quickly improve the combat effectiveness of human beings, it is faced with the problem of high mortality, and then scientists began to consider whether there is a way to exercise human combat ability without causing danger to life.
After several generations of research, this virtual device was finally born. Humans can enter an almost 100% realistic world with special equipment on, where there are also all kinds of powerful mutated creatures, and even their strength, size, speed, etc. are exactly the same as real mutated creatures.
In this simulator, humans can adjust the pain sensation to the closest degree to reality, so as to obtain almost the same effect as the actual combat, and it was widely used in the first few decades.
But then mankind discovered that it is true that virtual systems can improve combat skills, but the effect on human evolution is not obvious.
Because the virtual system is virtual after all, even if the pain perception is adjusted to 100%, even if you die in the virtual system, it is just a sharp pain, and it will not really take people's lives, so you lose the survival psychology of fighting for your life.
Eventually, this technology was gradually abandoned and reduced to an examination tool used by schools to test students' practical ability.
The score distribution of the exam is also the same as that of the college entrance examination, with a total score of 30 points in the actual combat assessment, and as long as you defeat the mutant creatures of the same class, you can get a passing score, which is 18 points.
Within the same class, the strength is divided into early, middle, peak and late stage, and each beast that defeats a small level of oneself can get an additional score bonus.
On the other hand, if you are killed by a strange beast, the system will automatically lower the opponent's level by a small level, but you will be punished with a penalty of deducting points.
A beginner warrior at the beginning of the fourth order will get 18 points for killing a mutant creature at the beginning of the fourth order, 22 points if it is in the middle of the fourth order, 25 points if it is late in the fourth order, and 28 points if it is at the peak of the fourth order.
If you can defeat someone who is a whole class higher than you, then it is a perfect score!
In the long history of the Seventh High School, there is only one person who can pass the college entrance examination with a full score, and that is the legendary senior who left the equipment for Lin Xi, Qin Xiaotian, I heard that in the actual combat test of the college entrance examination, he killed an ivory pig in the early stage of the ninth order with the strength of a junior warrior in the early stage of the eighth order.
"Please insert the admission ticket into the instrument and wear a virtual helmet."
Lin Xi put his admission ticket into the card slot of the machine in front of him, this simulator was almost like a car, and various sensors were placed on their hands and feet.
Lin Xi put on the virtual helmet, and a light curtain popped up soon after it was pitch black, on which was the option to select the level of the mutant creature to fight.
At the end of the last semester, Lin Xi was still at the peak of the second-order warrior, at that time, he chose a mid-third-order fire ladybug as his opponent, and after a hard battle, he severely injured the fire ladybug, but he was killed.
Later, the system was automatically downgraded to the early stage of the third order, and because he had half a year's experience in fighting in the training ground, he successfully defeated the mutant creature with serious injuries.
"Lin Xi, please choose the level of mutant creature you want to challenge."
"Fourth-Order Junior Warrior Stage!"
That's already three levels, and if he can win, then he can get a high score of 28 points.
He wasn't overwhelmed, now that he had stepped into the middle of the third order, he had a certain grasp of even a mutated creature in the late third order.
Because the junior warrior is the lowest level, there is no huge difference in the combat power of the two adjacent levels, and many times experience and combat skills can play a role.
A third-order warrior defeats a fourth-order warrior, and an eighth-order warrior defeats a ninth-order warrior, these are completely two concepts, and the difficulty of the two sides is probably more than doubled.
"You're done, choose the mutated creature type you want."
A row of pictures of mutant creatures in the early stage of the fourth order appeared in front of Lin Xi's eyes.
His current combat power index was 34, which was only the level of just stepping into the middle of the third order. Weapons can be used in the virtual system, but weapons do not increase a person's combat effectiveness index, because the combat effectiveness index is the overall quality of a person's body.
The actual role of the weapon is actually only to help humans tear through the sturdy scale armor or skin of mutant creatures, if your physical fitness can't keep up, even if you hold an artifact that sharpens iron like clay, you can't keep up with the speed of your opponent.
The only thing that can improve the combat power index is combat skills, the kind that only exist in the War College. I heard that powerful combat skills can even make it easy for people to skip the level and even challenge the level!
But in the same way, combat skills also have flaws, the more powerful the combat skills, the higher the physical fitness, even the weakest combat skills need the physical fitness of a sixth-order junior warrior to be able to perform.
"I choose a unicorn!" Lin Xi had already thought of his opponent the night before.
Unicorn bears, one of the weaker of the early fourth-order mutant creatures, have a sturdy body like a polar bear, and a horn about half a meter long on their head, which is also their most powerful lethal weapon.
The unicorn bear's combat power index is not weak, 42 points, but its ability is the most extreme among the fourth-order creatures, its strength can reach the late fourth-order or even the peak, and its speed is only about the middle of the third-order.
And Lin Xi took a fancy to this point to come up with such a choice. His strength is speed, and his speed is faster than that of an ordinary mid-order third-order fighter, so relying on the way of fighting, he has a good chance of defeating his opponent.
In fact, if Lin Xi had taken the physical fitness test a week later, then he could have chosen an opponent who was one level weaker, so that he would have almost 90% certainty that he would be able to win.
However, his physical fitness score is still only 24 points at the beginning of the third order, and his cultural class is a perfect score of 10 points, which is very important for him if he wants to pass!
Although failing the final exams did not have any serious implications, the school organized a wilderness survival training course during the summer holidays, and only those who passed the grades were eligible to participate.
And this training class is led by a senior warrior who once graduated from the seventh high school, it must be of great benefit to them, Lin Xi even hopes to have the opportunity to say a few words to him, maybe there is a way to solve the problem of his old body injury, so he is determined to win these 28 points!
"Please choose the weapon you need, and the weapon you choose will match the level according to your strength."
"Knives!" Lin Xi said without hesitation, the knife was the weapon he used most easily.
"After the selection, the actual combat assessment will officially start in ten seconds, please get ready!"
A white light flashed, and Lin Xi's body appeared in an open jungle, and about a hundred meters in front of him, a unicorn bear was watching him.
Lin Xi didn't panic, the unicorn wouldn't move until the countdown was over. He moved his body in a way that was almost indistinguishable from the real world.
"Hmm. Yes, it's the best weapon for my physical fitness! ”
In Lin Xi's hand is a war knife with a blade length of 75 cm, both in weight and feel, it is much more comfortable than the original two, and only such a weapon can exert the greatest combat effectiveness in his hands.
10,9,8......2,1, go!
As the countdown ended, the unicorn let out an earth-shattering roar, as if it had broken free from some restraint in an instant, and easily slapped a large tree with the thickness of a bowl beside it.
Then he rushed in the direction of Lin Xi with clumsy steps.
