Chapter 96: The Second Unified Examination
Compared with the confusion and confusion before the first unified examination, this time, the first-year students were well prepared in advance.
After Hu Siming and Yan Shaoou summarized the experience of the last time, they also used the general point to purchase a set of development dust in advance. With other skills, equipment, and consumable potions, coupled with such anti-concealment methods, the two of them can almost deal with a situation.
With the start of the unified examination on the 30th, the students in the public classroom were once again teleported to the long cylindrical starry sky passage last time.
Even though they've been here once, the walls of the obsidian bars and transparent magical enchantments are still in awe. Not to mention the colorful energy of different time and space outside, many freshmen even stuck in front of the magic barrier to look out at the scene outside. The only difference is that the freshmen are not as nervous and new as before.
"Enter the connection channel!"
"This is the public battlefield connecting the Radiant and Dire campuses, please prepare for all students who take the UEC, the battlefield will automatically start matching in a minute. â
When the surrounding environment is detected, the school emblem automatically pops up to prompt a familiar reminder.
The one-minute prompt made tens of thousands of freshman students a little restless. However, Hu Siming and Yan Shaoou were fully prepared, standing in the corner very calmly, waiting for the official start of the unified examination.
"There are still 10 seconds left before the official start of the UEC. â
With the countdown, the silver vortex above his head spun again, shooting countless pillars of light down on the connecting passage. The two had already experienced it once, and when they saw this, they walked directly into the same pillar of light and began to teleport.
With a slight vibration, when they opened their eyes again, the two of them were already floating in the silver vortex.
Different from the two preset battlefields in the first unified examination, this time, in the starry sky in front of the two of them, there is only a rotating miniature sand table model. At first glance, it looks like a small town in the middle of nowhere. But if you look closely, you will find that every detail of the terrain in the town is obscured by fog, and you can't see anything useful.
"The teams of both sides have been detected to join the battlefield, and the second unified examination of the freshman year has officially begun!"
"The default battlefield of this unified examination is the town of death, and the theme is confrontation. Since it is the turn of the Radiant Campus to initiate this unified examination, the Radiant team will be given priority: they can choose the scale of the team battle, 3v3 or 5v5, or they can choose to enter the battlefield five minutes earlier than the opponent. The Dire team will be compensated by the corresponding options. â
"Make a decision in a minute!"
Hu Siming and Yan Shaoou glanced at each other, and they both saw each other's surprise. Unexpectedly, the second unified examination is still different from the previous unified examination, and the changes are quite big. It's no wonder that this time the battlefield system didn't match temporary members first, it turns out that they can also choose the scale of the team fight.
Because of the limited time, the two didn't have time to think about it, so they quickly discussed these two options.
"What's the difference between 3v3 and 5v5?"
"If you're walking alone, the two don't feel any different. If you know each other like us, and you happen to be in a group of three, then you must choose 3v3. Whether it is tacit understanding or cooperation, it is more reliable than random teammates who are temporarily matched. â
"Which one do you think is better?"
"It feels like 3v3 and 5v5 are pretty much the same for the two of us. Choose the former, if you randomly find a reliable teammate, it will definitely be a big profit. But if it is matched with a lagging one, then it will affect the combat power. If it's 5v5, the overall strength of your teammates may be more even. But I still think it's more useful to enter the battlefield five minutes early. â
"That's right, if we're a trio, we're going to have to choose the size of the team. If it's two people, then choose the latter!"
After discussing the results, Hu Siming rushed to use the right of first refusal before the countdown ended.
After the two of them chose to enter first, the choice of the size of the teamfight was in the hands of the Dire team. This time, the enemy seemed to be very decisive, and it only took half a minute to make a choice - a 3v3 confrontation!
With both choices made, the battlefield matchmaking system begins to fill the gaps. In the blink of an eye, a silver light flashed next to the two of them, and there was an extra member of the team.
"It's you!"
"How are you?"
Seeing the appearance of the person who came, Hu Siming and Yan Shaoou almost didn't drop their jaws in shock. In the unified examination of the freshman level, there are tens of thousands of people who participate at the same time. In this case, the probability of matching acquaintances is so small that only the zĂ i theory is possible. But in this 3v3 unified examination battle, the two met someone they knew.
If it weren't for the incredulity and surprise on her face, Hu Siming would even suspect that she was dazzled, or that she had met someone who looked similar.
Repeat student sister Caifeng!
This woman who is on the same page as Han Feng, although she looks a little coquettish and has a very good ponytail hairstyle, it is her greedy prompt that has caused Hu Siming a lot of trouble. Later, after Chen Feng signaled, he used almost straightforward words to coerce him to hand over his equipment. Even a fool can see that the red-faced character she played at the time was a joke. But Caifeng is clearly using his strength to suppress people, he doesn't care what you think, and he doesn't even want a decent cover and reserve.
Such a selfish and greedy woman, even if she is indeed a beauty, Hu Siming will not have any good feelings for her.
Cai Feng obviously didn't expect to be with the freshman group that had been bullied, she was stunned for a moment, and her face became embarrassed. The teammates encountered in the unified examination are actually enemies, how can this be fought?
Without waiting for the three of them to have further exchanges, as the matching of the two sides in the unified examination was completed, the battlefield of Death Town began to load.
"Freshman year, the second unified examination in November begins!"
"The preset terrain for this game: Death Town. â
"Scene description: The once peaceful town has been attacked by terrifying beasts in the desert, and in just a few months, it has decayed and become uninhabited. A year later, when a goblin merchant traveling through the desert stumbles by, he discovers that the town has been turned into a lair of monsters. There used to be daring adventurers and thieves who infiltrated the place, but never reappeared. â
"Main quest open: These monsters attacking the town are likely to be controlled by black magic. Within six hours, investigate them and gather enough evidence. â
The optional missions on this battlefield are: Source of Darkness (Team).
Source of Darkness: After destroying all the monsters on the battlefield, the dark mage who controls them will appear. Defeat the source of this evil and restore peace to the town of the dead. Completing the task can obtain a book of any attributes, and there is no penalty for failure.
Mission Description 1: Collected evidence will be dropped after death. Before the countdown ends, the first party to get enough evidence will receive a perfect rating. If both teams fail to gather enough evidence, the team with the higher overall score wins and receives the base prize. One kill = 1 score, each piece of evidence = 1 score.
Mission Description 2: After being killed, each person has a free chance to resurrect, and will be randomly respawned within 1 kilometer of the starting location after 10 minutes. If you die again, you will return directly to the academy cemetery to resurrect, and ten years of life will be deducted.
Mission Description 3: The Black Mage is very dangerous, and there is a possibility of group annihilation if you act rashly, please consider carefully whether to trigger it.
"Due to the choice of first entry, there are still five minutes left before the Dire team enters the battlefield. The countdown begins!"
A flurry of hints flashed by.
In front of the task of the unified examination, Hu Siming and Yan Shaoou couldn't care less about glaring at Cai Feng, and hurriedly read the main tasks and optional tasks, so that they had an understanding of the general situation of this unified examination. It was also at this time that they became aware of their surroundings.
From the surrounding scene, the three of them are at the entrance of an abandoned town. Behind them, dead bushes and vast expanses of desert. The town ahead looked lifeless under the light mist. The town's stone roads are already overgrown with messy weeds, and they have obviously been abandoned for a long time. In the corner of the stone house near the entrance, they also saw the dry bones of the villagers, which vaguely showed signs of being eaten by monsters.
Through the faint mist, Hu Siming could hear the low roars coming from the village from time to time, which was terrifying. This quiet and dilapidated town gives people an inexplicable oppression.
"You two, what are you going to do?"
After standing for three seconds, Cai Feng was unwilling to waste the precious five minutes, and took the initiative to break the deadlock: "Cooperation, or let's quarrel first, and then give the victory to the people of the Dire campus?"
