Chapter 41: A Narrow Encounter
The next day, Topaz found Su Yu and told him the details of the freshman match.
"I haven't told you before, but the Freshman Tournament is the first event after the start of the school year for freshmen, and in general, almost all freshmen will participate.
However, because the strength of the new students is different, from one star to twelve stars. Therefore, the format of the competition is relatively special, and the arena is held in the virtual universe.
All the freshmen are in a special competition area, wearing a specific consciousness sensing helmet helmet and entering the internal virtual world of Tianyi Academy. The strength of all the students in it is set to one star.
In this way, the freshman competition tests the students' understanding and mastery of combat skills and elemental mastery techniques, rather than relying on super weapons and super strength to face the enemy.
Do you understand? ”。
Su Yu nodded and said, "I understand, that is, in it, everyone's physical data is the same, everyone's starting point is the same, the difference is just personal combat awareness and combat skills."
"Yes, that's how it makes it clear to all the students where they are. Correct attitude, not arrogant or impatient, and train your combat skills and elemental control skills in a down-to-earth manner."
Su Yu suddenly thought of something, and said, "The body data of the magician, the mind master and the melee master should be different, right?" Quite a few words"
Topaz shook his head and said, "It's all the same, that is to say, the competition body provided in the virtual universe can simultaneously perform elemental manipulation spells, matter manipulation spells, soul manipulation techniques, and melee stunts
Of course, the premise is that your contestants have mastered the skills themselves. Generally speaking, melee divisions are not proficient in elemental mastery, and they will not be temporarily mastered in the short time they play, and even if they do, it is useless. Because after the game, when you return to your real body, all the data in the game will be lost. All that is left is the improvement of combat skills and combat experience.
Therefore, whether it is a melee master, a sorcerer, or a mind master, they will instinctively use their own good attacks in battle.
But you're different, you're already a Mind Master, a Sorcerer, a Melee Master, and so on, so in this battle, you can be in the limelight.
If possible, try to win first. That reward is very generous."
"Yes, 10 million energy crystals," Su Yu sighed.
"No, that's not what I mean. I mean, the reward for buying the Academy's Exercise Cheats at 20% off. Topaz said solemnly, "This is the real huge reward"
"What do you mean by that?" Su Yu asked.
"You have to understand that no matter what kind of exercise cheats you want to buy, it's 20% off. If you buy the cheats of a billion energy crystals, you can save 200 million energy crystals, and the difference is huge. Huang Yu said.
"A billion energy crystals?" Su Yu was a little surprised, "What kind of exercise cheats are worth a billion energy crystals."
"Tianyi Academy's exercise cheats are all priceless, and some of them are even worth tens of billions of energy crystals that most people can't afford to buy even if they are bankrupt. But if you can get the first place, you will save two billion."
"Two billion energy crystals" Su Yu was shocked. But he immediately shook his head, "Even if I save two billion, I can't pay for those eight billion."
Huang Yu looked at Su Yu's eyes and said, "If you get the first, no matter what exercises you want to buy, I will pay for all these expenses for you."
Su Yu smacked his tongue and said, "Why are you doing this?" ”
"First, it's a rare opportunity. You must know that the practice cheats of Tianyi Academy are not discounted on weekdays. The VIP consumption card I gave you, you take it out to buy clothes, eat, you can get a 10% discount, or even more...,
But if you take it and buy the cheats of the exercises, no one will bird you
For every student who enters Tianyi Academy, the only time there is a discount for buying cheats is this freshman competition.
However, in each class, only one student has this honor."
Su Yu was a little tempted, but he immediately said: "I'm afraid, my ability is not enough to win the first place, after all, I have only lived for a few decades, some old monsters don't know how many thousand years to live, tens of thousands of years, and the combat experience and understanding of the team's combat skills will definitely be deeper than mine."
"Yes, so you want to win the first task, you have a long way to go" Huang Yu patted Su Yu's shoulder and said, "Work hard, boy, you're still very young."
Su Yu was a little speechless and said, "You just said that in the entire freshman, only one person has obtained it. Isn't it said that it is divided into three systems to compete, is it that in the end, star ability and galaxy ability will fight together? ”
"Hehe, that's your luck. The discount for purchasing exercises is only applicable to those with star abilities. As for the primary galaxy ability and the intermediate galaxy ability, there is only a reward of 10 million energy crystals, and there is no discount for purchasing exercises."
"So, you're going to work hard, kid" Huang Yu finished speaking, patted Su Yu on the shoulder, and walked away.
Su Yu's heart fluctuated, constantly thinking about Topaz's words. Indeed, it is the benefits of the exercises that are the most tempting. Su Yu's current ancient qigong practice was almost at an end, so Su Yu urgently needed a first-class exercise cheat.
Moreover, no matter what price Su Yu buys for the exercises, as long as Su Yu wins the first place, the price is topaz advance, which is what excites Su Yu the most.
Then, Su Yu began to think about the possibility of winning the first place.
If he fights with a real body, Su Yu's advantage is the space in his body and the speed and regeneration ability of the gold eater, and at the same time, Su Yu has an artifact iron spear and infinite dark energy, and will never worry about energy exhaustion.
But the shortcomings are also obvious, even after Su Yu is physicalized, he can barely kill a person with a nine-star ability, and he has to borrow the power of the hand cannon.
For those with abilities above ten stars, if they don't use the hand cannon, the difficulty of Su Yu to win will increase infinitely.
If he uses a virtual body to fight in the virtual universe, then Su Yu does still have some hope of victory.
After all, Su Yu's innate advantages are incomparable to others. He is proficient in all the attributes of the five elements, and has several abilities
Moreover, those who have ten-star, eleven-star, and twelve-star abilities may not be able to take much advantage. These people are usually used to using a high level of strength and speed, and if they change to a one-star body, they will definitely have some discomfort.
For example, in normal times, in the face of an attack by a person with one-star ability, their physical strength can be completely ignored. And their punch can make the soul of a one-star ability fly.
Therefore, these people hardly need to pay attention to any skills when fighting. If the original advantages in strength and speed were lost after the cultivation plummeted, these people's combat skills might not be stronger than Su Yu's.
Of course, this is just Su Yu's unilateral desire to comfort himself, and as for whether there will be a pervert like Topaz and Sun Zhihe with precise control, Su Yu also doesn't know.
However, Huang Yu and Sun Zhihe are the deans and teachers of Tianyi Academy, and having such precise control may be related to the teaching purpose of the college. Outsiders rarely have such requirements.
Except for those children of families with strict family training, few capable people can do this.
……
On the third day, all the newly admitted freshmen were notified to go to the teaching building for a meeting.
The freshmen of the water department is a small department, with a total of more than 200 freshmen in this year, all gathered in one classroom, waiting for the arrival of the head of the department. …,
Except for Su Yu's four boys, all the girls were chattering in a classroom at Nuo University.
While everyone was talking, there was a crisp sound of heels tapping on the ground, and a middle-aged woman who looked like an office girl walked in.
The middle-aged woman is about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, sexy but not bewitching, although her body is beautiful, but her face still has the youth of a little girl, combining maturity and youthful charm.
"Wow, beauty wow" Bai Jian said in a low voice, his eyes lit up, "I swear, I will definitely chase the head of the department"
The blue gun kicked him underneath: "You be quiet, the teachers here are all high-level abilities, every word you say will be heard, be careful to give you little shoes to wear"
Bai Jian's face changed when he heard this, and he hurriedly covered his mouth.
The head of the department just glanced faintly in the direction of Su Yu and the others, and then stood in front of the classroom.
The head of the department didn't say a word, but a powerful aura emanated, and everyone stopped their voices and did a good job in their seats.
Zhao Wenqian smiled and said, "Hello everyone, new students, let's introduce myself first-Zhao Wenqian." From now on, I will be entrusted with the management of everyone's daily life and other chores.
Your studies and training are the responsibility of each subject teacher.
I'm like your nanny or guardian, helping you with your daily chores and securing more resources for you in the academy so that you can concentrate on your training......"
Zhao Wenqian said a lot, and then said: "Although our water system is small, the sparrows are small and have all the organs. We have a total of 240 new students this time, and we are honored to have male classmates join us this time, and there are four of them.
This is not a miracle for the water system, which has not had a single male student since the establishment of the hospital......"
Many girls turned their heads one after another and looked at Su Yu and the four of them curiously. Su Yu directly ignored it, and Bai Jian was as excited as if something was there.
After a period of politeness, Zhao Wenqian's topic finally turned to the freshman competition: "The purpose of our meeting this time is to get acquainted with each other and lay a good foundation for future cooperation." At the same time, I would like to highlight a few words about this freshman super competition. ”
Zhao Wenqian talked about a series of rules and precautions for the freshman competition, most of which Huang Yu had already told Su Yu.
In the end, Zhao Wenqian said: "This freshman super competition, if you can get a good ranking." It is not only an honor for the individual, but also an honor for the college.
The best results of our academy in the past years were set by your senior sister, Tang Li, three years ago. At that time, Tang Li achieved the ninth place in the whole academy, and I hope that this year, some of you will be able to surpass this result
As we all know, there will be corresponding rewards for entering the top 100, top 10, and the academy. Similarly, our Sorcerer Academy also has corresponding rewards, and there are also rewards in the department
The top 100 will receive 50,000 energy crystals from the department; The top 10 will have 100,000 energy crystals; The first place has a million energy crystals.
In addition, we have a variety of giveaways, and whether or not you can get these rewards is up to you."
……
I have to admit that the super competition for freshmen held as soon as they entered the school greatly encouraged the training enthusiasm of all freshmen.
Although the official class training was after the end of the freshman super competition, now, the various training grounds are already full of freshmen, and no one intends to be lazy at this time.
Overweight room, anti-gravity room, virtual training room, location simulation room...... and other training rooms are overcrowded. …,
The only exception is the four monsters of the water system, "blue, white, red and yu". It's not that these four people don't want to train, but they are really shy and can't find so much money to pay for the training ground.
So, when most of them were in full swing of training, the four of them walked out of the gate of the academy and began to look for some part-time jobs to supplement their daily living expenses.
After all, the food is delicious, but it can't be eaten; The high-level training ground is in front of you, but you can only watch, you can't enter, and it's really uncomfortable.
The four of them have already learned that the salary of the jobs near Tianyi Academy is still quite high. For example, the waitress who worked part-time in the cafeteria last time earned 100,000 energy crystals a month. Coupled with commissions and occasional tips from some guests, in good times, it can even be hundreds of thousands a month.
That's why the waitress was so afraid of being fired. This kind of work that does not contribute much but can maintain food and clothing is still very popular in the academy.
In addition to the work-study program provided by the college, the students of Tianyi College can also work in various shops outside and do temporary jobs.
It's a pity that when Su Yu and the others went to look for it, they found that almost all the stores were no longer recruiting. Almost hundreds of years ago, the shops near the college stopped recruiting
Su Yu wondered for a while: "Topaz should know that this is the case, but he still encourages himself to find a part-time job, I don't know what to pay attention to"
However, the four of them unexpectedly discovered the sponsorship points of many power groups, and here, those students of Tianyi Academy who were not yet attached to other forces could come here at any time to choose their own dependent forces. So as to solve the economic crisis for the rest of your life.
After seeing these sponsorship points, Blue Gun and White Sword and Hong Hammer only hesitated a little and began to sift through them.
Unlike Su Yu, these three people had no one to take care of them in Tianyi Academy, so their needs and desires for energy crystals were much more eager than Su Yu's.
Su Yu still has Topaz there, and when he has no money, he can go to the branch, as long as he pays it back in the future.
But the three blue guns are different, if there is no money, the three of them can only stand up and can't do anything.
So, this is also the reason why the three of them are so eager to come out and look for work.
Now, with another lighter path, the three of them who have had enough of the suffering of not having energy crystals and money will naturally not let go.
Su Yu still has no intention of joining these forces for the time being. So Su Yu was just accompanying the three of them to choose their respective dependent forces.
Su Yu keenly discovered a problem, that is, these power groups near Tianyi Academy were larger than those power groups that appeared in the test grounds of Nanshan Country, and the conditions they could provide were also more superior, and they could almost cover all the reasonable or unreasonable expenses of the entire Tianyi Academy.
But correspondingly, the conditions of these power groups are also more demanding. Many of these power groups even require their students to join these power groups and work directly for these power groups after graduation.
Su Yu shook his head, he still didn't want to join these power groups until he had to.
But the three of them don't care about these things anymore, or they don't want to care about these things anymore.
Because, they no longer have the capital to care about these things.
After three days of visiting and screening, Blue Gun chose a huge cosmic country called the Sassoon Empire. The other party promised to provide all the necessary funds for the blue gun, but in the same way, after the blue gun graduated, he would join this universe country and serve the master of the universe.
And Bai Jian chose another cosmic country, and the conditions and treatment were similar to those of the blue gun. …,
Hong Hammer chose to join a foundry's guild. The Foundry Guild agreed to train and train the hammer, and at the same time pay for the ninety percent of the costs incurred by the hammer at the university.
The remaining 10% of the cost needs Hong Hammer to work in the Foundry Association and cast weapons to earn himself.
Regarding the choice of blue gun and white sword, Su Yu can still understand. Regarding Hong Hammer's choice, Su Yu was a little confused, and said tentatively: "Is it difficult for you to become a foundry master in the future?" ”
Hong Hammer smiled smugly and said, "To tell you a secret, I am the only descendant of the ancient forger family, and one day, I will forge the strongest artifact in the world."
Millions of years from now, perhaps the world will no longer remember my name and know that I exist. But the artifact I forged will live forever in the world."
Su Yu looked at each other with the blue gun and the white sword, and he couldn't imagine that such a great ideal was buried in Hong Hammer's short and stout body.
After looking for the dependent forces, the three of them suddenly became very energetic, as if they were a different person.
Immediately, the three of them took Su Yu into the cafeteria restaurant last time, called the waitress again, guarded her noodles, and ordered more expensive dishes.
The dishes called by the blue gun are almost always the most expensive according to the recipe. He didn't order a dish, and the waitress's face changed a little.
The waitress looked at the food ordered by Su Yu and the others, almost reaching more than one million energy crystals, and her face was pale at that time.
None of the four of them cared, thinking that she was frightened by the blue gun's nonsense and drinking.
It wasn't until the time of checkout that everyone realized why the waitress's face was so bad.
The three of them ate one million and one hundred thousand energy crystals, and the waitress looked at the bill and said tremblingly: "That, I only have more than 800,000 energy crystals on my body now, which seems to be not enough for the price of this table of dishes?" ”
Blue Gun was stunned, and immediately understood, the waitress thought that the four of them were here to eat white food again, and thought that they had to pay for the four again, so she was frightened when she saw herself ordering.
Blue Gun laughed and said, "Don't worry, your attitude is good this time, we don't want you to pay a penny" Saying that, Blue Gun directly deducted the 2 million energy card on Zhuo Zai.
The waitress's eyes widened, she looked at the blue gun in disbelief, and then hurriedly said, "Thank you, thank you"
After settling the bill, he walked out of the cafeteria, and the blue gun said to Su Yu: "Old Su, it's not me talking about you, you should also find a force to attach to." This feeling of wealth and wealth, this is his ** cool"
The three of Bai Jian also echoed.
Su Yu smiled and said, "It's good that you like this feeling, it's good for me, I'm not in a hurry now."
The four of them said as they walked towards the dormitory area of the water department.
Suddenly, Su Yu saw an "acquaintance" and couldn't help but stop.
This person is An Xiaobai, who came from Nanshan Country with Su Yu
At that time, Su Yu still remembered that in Nanshan Country at that time, An Xiaobai's arrogant behavior.
At that time, An Xiaobai stretched out his hand on the test site, but did not immediately put it on the energy crystal ball, but looked around the four fields proudly, and said loudly: "I, An Xiaobai, am the best winner today, I am the first, the first invincible." You're all scum."
While speaking, An Xiaobai stretched out his right hand, pointed at the people in the field, and slowly turned around
An Xiaobai's demeanor was arrogant, and his tone and actions were full of disdain for others
The final result was that since all of Su Yu's five attribute potential values were ninety-nine percent of the existence, An Xiaobai completely became a laughing stock, and was slapped by Su Yu with his actions.
Su Yu understood that Yi'an Xiaobai's arrogant personality must have held a grudge against him after suffering such a big loss in this matter. What's more, An Xiaobai also joined Sun Zhihe's Heaven and Earth Alliance, and his relationship with Su Yu has basically established a hostile relationship.
An Xiaobai is an 8-star ability, a metallic mindsetter. At this moment, behind An Xiaobai, there are five capable people.
The strength level of these five people seems to have reached the peak of star ability, and they are only one step away from stepping into the threshold of galaxy ability.
When Su Yu saw An Xiaobai, An Xiaobai also saw Su Yu, he smiled coldly and confronted Su Yu without backing.
"Xiaobai, who is this person?"
A person beside An Xiaobai asked, "It's Su Yu who taught Sun to inform us that the Heaven and Earth Alliance wants to clean up." ”
"It's just a one-star ability, let's teach him a lesson and let him stop pretending"
As these people spoke, they walked towards Su Yu and ......,
