"The second thing is about the 'City Treasure Hunt'."

Shi Zhen smiled, "Have you heard of this event?" ”

"Nope..."

Jiang Yifan shook his head blankly.

"It's normal if you haven't heard of it, after all, the organizer is the 'Provincial Search Department', and the participants are basically college students, and the scope of the competition is only limited to 'Furong City', and there are few corresponding live broadcasts and reports on TV."

Shi Zhen introduced, "To put it simply, the staff will hide some items that will help improve the strength of the demon spirit in all corners of the city before the game starts. These items can be worth a few thousand even the cheapest, but if the contestant can find them, they will be their own.

And in order to prevent the contestants from blindly exploring like headless flies, the hiding places of these items will be marked on a map by the organizers one by one. However, the map will eventually be broken into countless smaller pieces that will be distributed to each participant on the day of the competition.

It is naturally impossible to find the location of the treasure with a small piece of treasure map, so the contestants need to compete with each other for the treasure map in each other's hands, so as to piece together a relatively complete map and successfully find the 'treasure'.

You can also directly understand it as a 'jigsaw' game, whoever puts it together more will get more, but it is difficult to avoid scrambling to obtain each piece of the puzzle. ”

After listening to the explanation, Jiang Yifan nodded in understanding, and then asked in confusion: "But since it is an activity that college students participate in, what is the use of you telling me as a high school student?" ”

Although he didn't feel weak, or even strong, it was only in high school, and he didn't swell enough to think that he could compete with college students across ages.

You know, the first year of college is a college student, and the fourth year of college is also a college student.

Counting with his fingers, he said that the oldest college student he faced could be five or six years older than him, and they were all half a round of the zodiac.

Does this guy look up to him too much, or does he underestimate contemporary college students too much?

"I said that most of the participants were college students, but I didn't say that high school students couldn't participate. As long as you have a household registration in Minfu Province and are not more than 22 years old, you can sign up regardless of whether you are a college student or a high school student. ”

Shi Zhen smiled, "However, after signing up, you still need to go through some screening, and you can only officially participate in the competition after meeting the strength requirements, so even if many high school students sign up, they will be brushed down in this link." ”

"Even if those high school students succeed in the competition, they almost always end up empty-handed, right?"

Jiang Yifan pursed his lips.

"Yes, in the early stages of the Demon Envoy, the age gap is difficult to bridge. Therefore, even high school students who are excellent among their peers will be dimmed when they are placed among college students. ”

Shi Zhen nodded, "This is why the participants in this event are basically college students, and there are few high school students, after all, not only did not get benefits from participating in an event, but also suffered a blow because of it, and the gains outweighed the losses." ”

"Understood, you tell me this, is it because of the lack of volunteers in the competition, so you want me to wear a Little Red Riding Hood to be a free laborer?"

Jiang Yifan rolled his eyes.

"No, I want you to sign up."

"No, I refuse to work day jobs... Huh? ”

Jiang Yifan blurted out halfway through before he realized that Shi Zhen's answer was different from what he thought.

So he blinked twice in a daze, and then he pointed to himself with some uncertainty and asked, "You... Let me go to the race? ”

"Hmm."

Shi Zhen nodded.

"You think I can beat those college students?"

"You can play, but you can only play a little bit, after all, those who can participate are not ordinary people, and there are not many people who can let you win smoothly."

"Since I can only play a little bit, what's the point of me going to this tournament?"

Jiang Yifan's face was full of confusion, and he began to understand Shi Zhen's brain circuits.

"The city treasure hunt is held by the 'Provincial Search Department', so the word 'treasure hunting' is mainly a test of the contestant's search ability in the city, and the actual combat ability is only secondary.

You can think of this game as the search hall digging up the seedlings, and the whole game is a simulation of the process of searching for a wanted criminal, and you need to find the other party before you can subdue it. ”

Shi Zhen stretched out his finger and pointed to the crow who was practicing squats at the feet of the sword wing shattered cloud lion with the bronze snake, "And your black feather crow, who has recently received so many junior brothers in Hongquan City, can just come in handy now, it is an excellent search weapon." ”

"How do you know this?"

Jiang Yifan asked in surprise, because he had never told Shi Zhen about Crows.

"The task of the searcher, in addition to arresting those wanted criminals who have committed crimes against the imperial envoys, is to control these wild demons in the city. Can it expand its territory with such a large flock of black-feathered crows every day without attracting attention? ”

Shi Zhen sighed helplessly, "That is, I just happened to meet me, and then the Sword Wing Shattered Cloud Lion happened to smell you on it, otherwise it would have been contained a long time ago." ”

"I see..."

Jiang Yifan scratched his head in embarrassment.

In the past, the black crow group was scattered in Hongquan City to forage, and the citizens occasionally saw a few, even if they didn't like it, they threw stones and waved brooms to drive them away, and few people were embarrassed to call the searchers to make a special trip for this.

But now the Shadow Raven group led by the Crows, in order to expand their power and scale, it is inevitable that they will have to fight in groups.

Forget it once or twice, the masses can watch the excitement, but if there are too many times, it will inevitably make people panic, and it is inevitable to call the search bureau.

Fortunately, the Shadow Crows still have the 'Shadow Stealth' racial ability, and they are still relatively good at concealment, so it is enough to let the Crows pay more attention to them after reminding them.

"Remember to keep a low profile in the future, otherwise I will have a headache if I continue to receive complaint calls."

Shi Zhen patted Jiang Yifan on the shoulder, "The City Treasure Hunt is on Sunday, this week hurry up to train their search ability, and when the time comes, whether you can capture treasures and how many treasures you can capture, it depends on them." ”

"Isn't that right?"

Jiang Yifan frowned slightly, "The treasure hunt in the competition relies on the collection of map fragments, even if I can find other contestants, it's useless to beat them, right?" ”

"Aren't you usually smart? Why have I hinted at it for so long today, and you still don't understand..."

Shi Zhen touched his little head helplessly, "Forget it, I'll make it clear, since this competition is held by the 'Provincial Search Department', the purpose of the assessment is naturally from the perspective of a searcher."

In most cases, search teams do not work alone, but in many people, so it doesn't matter if they are weak individuals, as long as they have excellent search skills, they can be appreciated.

For this reason, there is an NPC called the 'Treasure Merchant', and as long as you can find them, you can exchange a map fragment for the location of a treasure.

So as long as you can find as many of these treasure merchants as possible with the help of the Black Feather Crow, won't you be able to make a fortune? ”

Speaking of this, Jiang Yifan finally came to his senses: "I didn't expect that this guy of yours looks like a hearty tough guy on the surface, but there is a bad stomach hidden behind his back... Hiss-"

'Bang! ’

As soon as he finished speaking, he was appreciated by Shi Zhen, who was beating violently, and then glared at him through gritted teeth: "If it weren't for your good, I would have bothered about this?" ”

"Actually, I want to praise your wisdom Sai Zhuge , the words are useless."

Jiang Yifan sneered, "But I still have a martial arts league to participate in on Sunday..."

“...”

Shi Zhen couldn't help but hold his forehead, "The Martial Arts League is only the third round of the qualifiers now, you can win with or without you, but if you can stand out in the City Treasure Hunt, you will still have a chance to be selected for the 'Hundred Talents Plan'." If you make the cut, you'll be the key to turning the tide of the match. ”

"Huh? 100 Talents Plan? What is that? ”
