Examination!
Ever since Arvin-chanting told them that death in the UEC deducts their true lifespan, and that the punishment for failure is extremely severe, the word has been like a heavy mountain on the chests of all freshmen. Even an open-minded person like Hu Siming can't be completely indifferent.
Some freshmen who have a high life span and have a general point deposit on their bodies are okay, even if they fail this time, they will have a chance to make a comeback in future exams. But those freshmen who are born with a short life and do not have many common points cannot remain indifferent.
Under such pressure, the time came to September 21.
On this day, all the freshmen received a reminder from the teaching assistant, and the first unified examination since the freshman admission will officially start in three days. The unified examination is still a group of five, and because it is a freshman, the principal gives a little special care. You can be randomly matched by the academy according to the evaluation of combat power, or you can form a team freely. However, if you team up on your own, there will be a certain additional bonus when evaluating the strength of the battlefield. In other words, you may encounter stronger opponents.
"The UEC is here!"
No matter how much the freshmen resisted, the time to come was still coming. The freshman section of Battle.com, because the news of the unified examination has gone crazy. Every minute that passes, hundreds or thousands of posts pop up. Some freshmen are analyzing and planning how to pass the UEC more safely, some freshmen are speculating about the possible scenarios of the UEC, and there are some unlucky people who will be kicked out of the academy in October, where they are gearing up and cheering each other on, striving to win a victory and earn enough general points.
The entire freshman year was filled with an air of restlessness.
Compared with freshmen who have never experienced the unified examination, the freshman repeaters in District B are much calmer. They did not panic because of the sudden UEC, but did what they had to do. On the freshman chat section of Battle.net, it is rare to see them posting and communicating. There are only a few old students who are in the limelight, and there are some so-called strategies that don't know whether they are true or false.
This kind of thing, you can read it once and use it as a reference. Whether it is forged or not, let's just say that if those old students are really so good, how can they not be promoted to the second year, but are repeated? However, there are really stupid people who take it as a Bible and study it over and over again.
Compared with those who don't use their brains, Hu Siming believes more in his own strength.
The unified examination is coming, and he has a common point on him, and it's time to consider strengthening himself.
After the entrance test and the first compulsory course, Hu Siming saved a total of 500 universal points, plus two Radiant coins. Moreover, his three-attribute rookie student title can enjoy a 50% discount. Even if you deduct the general points in September and October, it is enough to redeem the first skill.
A freshman with skills is absolutely different from a freshman with nothing!
The last time I looked at the list of huàn provided by the school emblem, Hu Siming still felt a little shy. This time, he was full of confidence and began to compare the candidate skills that he had marked in his free time one by one. For freshmen with only two skill levels, the choice of the first skill is undoubtedly very important. In particular, it will be able to play a role in this UEC immediately.
Do you choose a control skill, an escape skill, or a damage reduction skill?
Even though it had been marked a long time ago, seeing the dazzling list of skills again at this moment, Hu Siming couldn't help but feel a little dizzy. Sweeping it at a glance, I want this skill, and that skill is also a magic skill, and I can't wait to learn it all. But in the end, he chose a more practical ability with a wide range of applicability.
【Heroic Charge】
Normal skills.
Charge forward with courageous conviction and go up to 600 distances. Ignores terrain during the charge, and if it encounters an enemy in the middle of the charge, it will automatically stop and deal 25 charge damage to them.
Consumes 50 mana and has a cooldown of 30 seconds.
This is a powerful movement skill that is very useful for both escape and pursuit. 25 damage, while not so significant, is a good effect on freshmen. As for the shortcomings, the biggest problem is the long cooldown time, and the normal skills cannot be upgraded, so there is no growth. However, this is a common problem with most ordinary skills, and it can't be compared with hero skills.
Rao is so, and the price of the heroic charge is still as high as 500 universal points plus two Radiant coins.
"The first time I exchanged it for half price, it's gone!"
Hu Siming looked at his three-attribute title and reluctantly determined the choice. Then, he got up and went to the arcane sanctuary in the center of the academy to prepare to receive the skill inheritance.
As one of the most important buildings of the Academy, the Sanctuary of the Arcane is beyond imagination, like a real castle. Its overall structure is made of huge stones, and mysterious magic balls float on the top of the castle, emitting a rich purple glow day and night against the light blue sky. Here, thousands of spells can be exchanged for huàn to the academy, and it is also the main means for the academy to recover universal points.
Because the specific exchange of huàn had already been booked through the guò school emblem, after Hu Siming entered the secret magic sanctuary, he was directly teleported to the center of the arcane magic circle. As countless magical elements and law fragments swirled and flew around, soon, the complete spell rubbing that had been constructed was printed into his first skill position. The mysterious runes flowed through Hu Siming's heart, and finally turned into a roar.
Under the roar, his tense body seemed to transform into a hunting lion, and suddenly charged forward.
Although he couldn't fully grasp it because of the first release, Hu Siming still rushed out of 20 meters in the blink of an eye. Several nearby stand-in dolls that served as targets immediately took damage from the impact, and also produced an inconspicuous stiff movement.
That's the power of skill!
With it, Hu Siming's combat effectiveness has increased by at least four or five percent. If you count the wine festival gifts for the entrance test, as well as the shaman ring opened in the treasure chest of the compulsory course, the gap between Hu Siming's strength and most ordinary freshmen has finally opened up a notch. Moreover, his title is still improving his physique at a steady rate of one day and another. In the more than 20 days since the entrance test, Hu Siming's maximum health has increased to 240 points!
The evaluation on the school emblem has also been officially upgraded from "cannon fodder is better than you" to "cannon fodder".
Although this evaluation still sounds bad, Hu Siming's mood is still much better when he sees his new self.
If he can't pass the unified examination even like this, then I'm afraid 99% of the other freshmen will have to kneel. Hu Siming didn't believe that the college could adjust the difficulty of the unified examination to such a high level.
In his anticipation, the day of the unified examination has finally come.
After putting all the props and equipment that he could bring into the ten-compartment storage compartment, Hu Siming finally checked and confirmed that it was correct, and then got up and came to the common classroom. At this time, although there was still half an hour before the official start of the unified examination, most of the twenty new students had already arrived. Yan Shaoou had also arrived early, and when he saw Hu Siming entering the classroom, he waved enthusiastically to this side: "How is it, are you ready?"
Hu Siming glanced at him, nodded and said, "It's okay, I'll do my best anyway." ”
Yan Shaoou smiled when he heard this, and said, "It seems that this time I can follow and hug my thighs, and I still have golden thighs!"
There's a reason why he's so ridiculous. Because it is allowed to form a team, as early as two days ago, Yan Shaoou mentioned that Yì and Hu Siming were free to combine. Considering that the random team is unreliable, and Shaoou's previous table is not bad, he agreed to Yan Shaoou's suggestion. As for why other people are no longer grouped, this is also very understandable, and it will lead to a senseless increase in the evaluation of combat power. Without knowing any other reliable players, the duo is currently the best choice.
Of course, Yan Shaoou complained like this, which does not mean that he is really incapable.
Hu Siming knew very well that Yan Shaoou forcibly exchanged a summoning skill the day after contacting him. In order to make up enough for 500 general points, he not only boldly embezzled the 100 general points reserved in October, but also contacted the sophomore seniors who dared to lend money on the black market section of Battle.net. With the help of the form Xiàn that completed the optional tasks of the entrance test, he got a loan of 100 universal points.
The condition is that double repayment after the UEC!
If this unified examination fails, Yan Shaoou will immediately be on the verge of bankruptcy. But what he gambled on was that the strong alliance between himself and Hu Siming could be absolutely suppressed in the face of those newcomers who didn't even have skills
