Chapter 649: Tough Ball
The Academy's raid on the Black Dragon Legion's camp failed!
The news, as the high-speed airship group returned to the academy, quickly spread among the big clubs. It's just that the student union and the senior leaders of the major clubs have all issued hug orders, so the number of people who know about it has always been limited, and it has not caused turmoil in the college. The vast majority of students don't even know how to live their lives or how to live with such an action.
It seems that the waves are not shocking, but the impact of this failed action on the academy is extremely far-reaching.
The legendary senior and the top management of the Zodiac Society held a half-day meeting the day after the news came back. After the meeting was dismissed, a few news came out, and from that few words, the heroic class students who participated in the action knew what important decision the student union should have made.
It's just that no one knows what this decision is yet.
The arrogant Black Dragon Legion has suffered a loss this time, and it will definitely not give up. Hu Siming was very concerned about their reaction and the student union's response, but there was no news from above, and he could only continue the previous rhythm of two points and one line, running between the academy and the new world, hunting and improving his level. Because he has been deliberately hiding his whereabouts, the panda wine fairy Wang Hongyang, who has been secretly eyeing him, has not been able to find any opportunities to take advantage of.
Soon, the second compulsory class of the next semester has passed.
Xu Guang and Yan Shaoou finally found the gold swallowing beast lord's deposit, and unexpectedly swiped a book of energy. This means that as long as the pre-graduate tasks can be completed, there will soon be a second student in Hu Siming's team who officially mentions the postgraduate entrance examination.
More good news is on the way.
After the decision of the student union was rumored, there was a significant increase in the number of students who successfully entered the graduate school since that month. Although the success rate is still extremely low overall, when multiplied by the large number of elite students, this number is very impressive. Compared to the same period in the past, the total number is at least one-third more!
All along, the success curve of the college entrance examination has been very stable. With the exception of special periods such as the Dire Darktide, fluctuations are minimal in other months. Even if there is a difference, it will never increase by one-third at once. Almost all the clubs and students who noticed the news felt the subtlety.
The difficulty of the postgraduate entrance examination has been reduced by one percent silently!
The difficulty and the number of people who pass guò are not straight lines. It is such a small reduction in the difficulty of Yicheng, which has greatly increased the number of students who have passed the Guò postgraduate examination. Maybe the first few weeks can be said to be a special case, but as the time enters the beginning of June, the ranking battle of the elite combat power list is coming, and the new number jù makes more than eighty percent of the clubs believe this statement.
This undoubtedly caused a shock.
For more than ten years, the college has almost never adjusted the difficulty of the postgraduate entrance examination, and it has always been extremely high. After all, every elite who becomes a hero means a lot of resources invested. The academy will not do things at a loss, so those who can get the inheritance are mostly outstanding. Does the sudden adjustment of the difficulty of the postgraduate entrance examination mean that the college has or encountered any major problems?
The heroes who knew the inside story couldn't help but think of the failed operation of the Black Dragon Tribe.
Most of the heroes involved didn't know what the Black Dragon Legion had come up with in the end, so that they fell short. However, the academy slightly lowered the difficulty of the postgraduate entrance examination and increased the output of the number of heroes, most likely to deal with the potential threat of the Black Dragon Tribe. As soon as this point of view was put forward, it immediately aroused the support of a large number of heroic students.
Hu Siming also agrees with this view.
Moreover, according to the existing information, after discussing it with Senior Nie Yuan, he also unearthed something deeper.
All along, the various resources that the academy obtained from the New World would be divided according to a certain proportion. Most of them mysteriously disappear, and the rest will be invested in maintaining the operation of the college, helping students who have successfully rebuilt their bodies, providing various benefits, and so on. The number of hero trainees that can be supported is closely related to the total amount of resources obtained. Forcibly reducing the difficulty of the postgraduate entrance examination will lead to greater investment than gain, and then destroy the existing balance. As a result, either the academy will follow a frantic and militaristic route, or it will go bankrupt at some point.
However, this qiē was different from the point of origin of Taling.
These 800 miles of wilderness contain abundant vacuum crystal mines and other resources. After the reclamation, the total amount of resources that the college can obtain has increased significantly. If you can calculate the number of cores, you can find that the proportion of this resource is roughly proportional to the number of heroes that the academy has reduced the difficulty of the graduate school entrance examination and newly increased.
It is with such a resource that the college can have the confidence and capital to reduce the difficulty of the postgraduate entrance examination in the near future.
After discussing such a result with Nie Yuan, Hu Siming had a clear understanding of the college system that he felt very mysterious in his freshman year. There was still a sense of awe and a lot of confusion about where most of the disappeared resources had gone, but at least they knew how the academy worked.
To put it bluntly, it's no different from a country or company in the real world. Even, in the mouth of the head of Yue Xunxian Zhan, there was an evaluation of "it is a large mining group". Train the trainees - grab the land - exploit the resources - feed the college - use the resources to make the students stronger - grab more land, and so on, forming a virtuous circle!
The only thing he didn't know was the purpose of the academy to grab so many resources.
Although the official statement is that the vacuum crystal mine is rich in energy, so it should be preempted. But then? There are so many energy mines, you have to use them after you grab them, right? But no one knows what they are used for. Hu Siming instinctively felt that the ultimate purpose of the establishment of the academy should be related to the large part of the resources that mysteriously disappeared. But what the truth is, I guess only those legendary seniors who can meet the principal in person will know.
However, it is useless to think about this matter too much.
After all, it is the highest level secret of the academy, and it is too one-sided to rely on a little simple thing to deduce and speculate arbitrarily. Hu Siming just secretly wrote down this question, waited for more information to be inferred in the future, and then put it aside. Anyway, he has become a hero, and how many resources the academy gets and how to reduce the difficulty of the graduate school entrance examination have nothing to do with him. The ones who are really involved are Xu Guang and Yan Shaoou.
For those graduate school students and these students who are about to prepare for the graduate school entrance examination, reducing the difficulty of the graduate school entrance examination is undoubtedly a huge good news.
The students who initiated the postgraduate entrance examination not long before this were remorseful one by one, but they could only reluctantly accept the facts. And Xu Guang and what they are preparing are full of joy and gearing up. Before this, the high difficulty of the postgraduate entrance examination made them feel worried about the top students. You may be sure to become a hero, but no one can guarantee that you will succeed on the first attempt. But now the difficulty has been reduced, even if it is only reduced by one percent, and it has made them grasp it by several points.
And the other one that increases the probability is the top 100 in the elite combat power list.
Once you succeed in entering, you will be eligible to freely choose the battlefield for graduate school. A terrain that is suitable for one's own combat power can at least increase the probability of success by one percent. In this way, the sum of several factors can raise the probability of success in the graduate school entrance examination to a considerable level.
After that, it's up to everyone's luck and performance!
Xu Guang did not disappoint Hu Siming, and after taking over a batch of treasures, his strength had reached the top of the elite class. Maybe it still can't be compared with those who are stuck in the elite LV10 for a year or two, but it can still be done to reach the top 100 and earn a place on the list. In this way, in addition to Yu Gaowu being one step slower, Xu Guang, Shi Niu, and Yan Shaoou have all stepped on the threshold of the postgraduate entrance examination.
This made Hu Siming very pleased.
Although the graduate school entrance examination is too variable, no one dares to guarantee that he will succeed at the first time, but if his teammates really fail, he will have to wait another one to two years, and he will still be a little disappointed in his heart. Now that his teammates are well prepared, they seem to have great hopes, and his core team will soon be worthy of the name, how can he not be happy?
In the battle in the Dota, a person is not invincible after all, and a solid and powerful squad is the most reliable guarantee.
Once his teammates can become heroes, it will mean that a new era has arrived, and Hu Siming can be more actively involved in more things.
Maybe it's a good thing in pairs, after Xu Guang and the three of them reached the top 100 of the elite list together, the second Void Elemental Lord that Hu Siming had been looking for was finally in place.
The people who discovered it were the elite of the Sagittarius Alliance. Although he paid a reward of 500 universal points as promised, Hu Siming only had excitement in his heart and did not have any reluctance. Just 500 general points can be exchanged for the whereabouts of a LV30 gold lord, which is definitely a big profit.
He contacted the two heroes who had helped him before, and after a fierce battle, he smoothly took down the Void Elemental Lord.
With this drop, he finally got what he wanted.
【Void Jewel】
Hero equipment.
Mana Recovery Speed +100%.
Note: This gemstone seems to contain infinite magic.
Hu Siming's current mana value has exceeded 960 points, which is almost double that of the elite level. But correspondingly, the blue cost of several active skills has increased a lot. In a single battle, this mana is enough, but once you enter a protracted battle, there will still be concerns about not enough mana. The equipment that speeds up the recovery of mana is also valuable to him.
On top of that, Hu Siming can finally synthesize a tough ball.
In the Society's Alchemy Workshop, Hu Siming gave away the healing ring on his body along with the newly obtained Void Gem, and then synthesized this magical gem that emitted waves of crimson magic.
【Tough Ball】
Hero equipment.
Gain +10 Attack.
HP +5 HP & 125% Mana Recovery.
Note: A gem that brings courage to the holder.
