044 Reach the Knockout Round
In the early morning of June 18th, Bai Shixiu woke up with a smile on his face.
If you don't laugh, you can't do it, last night he used the [Tianxiu No. 1] big sword, and he felt quite good, and won ten consecutive victories in the play-in tournament, locking a place in the knockout round in advance.
At eight o'clock in the morning, he dressed up and went to the institution where he tested yesterday for the cultural class exam.
The examination room is very formal, there are two invigilators, and there are monitoring instruments on the spot, and there are 68 young people in society who take high school self-exams like the day show, and several of them are even middle-aged uncles and aunts.
The first exam is from 8:30 to 10:30, and the total score is 150 points.
The second exam is from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., and the total score is also 150.
The third exam is from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m., and the comprehensive subjects include English, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Geography, and History, with a total score of 200.
This is a typical college entrance examination standard, a total of 500 points, 300 points to pass, can obtain a high school Chinese qualification certificate (correspondence).
The daytime show was serious throughout the whole process, giving full play to his self-taught cultural level over the years.
He must score more than 300 points in the exam to be eligible to go to a junior college, otherwise it will be useless even if he spends money to pay the school fee.
The teenager was immersed in the joy of studying and exams, and did not pay attention to the dynamics of the outside world.
From June 18th to 23rd, in reality, in the past six days, the play-in tournament was in full swing.
This is a big competition without gunpowder, and the 600 million participants show their talents.
In six days in reality and two months in the game, many eye-catching newcomers have emerged.
Of course, there are also some so-called potential rookies, who are actually deleted and retrained like Ding Nengdong, wearing vests and pretending to be new.
Overall, the year of the Supergame lived up to its name, was full of topics, and dominated the headlines.
Many contestants uploaded their videos of the competition to the official website forum. Some of these wonderful battles have attracted a lot of attention.
At 10 p.m. on June 23, the play-in round came to an end.
Of the 600 million participants, 99 percent were eliminated.
In the end, only 6 million people remained, and they made it to the knockout round.
In terms of proportion, the players who enter the knockout round are all one in a hundred.
The 600 million people who competed with each other had not yet met before they were divided.
There's a reason for this, there are no arenas, tournaments and other player-versus battlefields in Evolution World, and game companies don't encourage players to kill each other, and encourage players to go to the Colosseum.
Since the open beta of this immersive game, an atmosphere has been created: if you have what it takes, you can challenge mutant creatures!
In a sense, killing mutant creatures in this era is tantamount to defending the country.
Taking a step back, not to talk about the great and righteous aspects of the country, at least it is to fill the public's stomach.
You must know that the area of the safety zone is limited, and it is not easy to vacate the land for planting greenhouse vegetables, rice, and wheat, and there are very few artificially bred horses, cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks, geese, and other meats.
Since the establishment of the Ten Bases, an unwritten rule has been formed: if you want to eat meat, please go hunting in the wasteland!
For example, hunting a thousand catties of rats is enough for a family to eat for several months.
If there is a 10,000-pound pig, it will be even more exciting.
The official alliance is also well-intentioned, and the core significance of holding the Beast Challenge is actually to let the general public get used to the characteristics of various mutated creatures, learn how to hunt monsters to fill their stomachs, and when it comes to famine, they will not starve to death.
Of course, there has always been a rumor among the people that the Beast Challenge has another important significance: to find the future super evolutionary!
It is optimistically estimated that human beings will evolve from generation to generation, with better and better genes and more and more sophisticated technologies in all aspects, and one day a super evolutionary will be born that will end this era.
When the kind of super evolutionary who can defeat the Beastmaster appears, the era of all mankind cowering in the safe zone will surely come to an end.
When the time comes, you can build roads, rebuild your homes, climb mountains, travel, go fishing in lakes, go dog planing in rivers, and embrace nature, just like our ancestors before the collapse.
This beautiful wish is the core motivation for generations of evolutionaries to strive for.
The wish is very full, the reality is very skinny, many new era human beings with primary school diplomas, from birth to death, have never left the safe zone, and have only seen on TV what is mountain climbing and what is outing.
Bai Shixiu's life, like those compatriots with primary school diplomas, was destined to be mixed at the bottom of society and live a life like coolies. It wasn't until he was fourteen years old that his fate changed when he practiced Tai Chi between life and death.
This boy who came out of the most chaotic black street, the lowest level, is using his practical actions to interpret a direction of evolution.
Even he didn't know it, he represented a possibility.
The reason why people have hope in life is because they believe in that possibility in their hearts.
When the hopeful possibility is shattered, there is no hope for life.
At this stage, the ideological consciousness is far from reaching the height of being for all mankind.
He just wants to achieve his small goal, and then achieve that big goal, that's all.
On June 23rd, the daytime show was double happy.
The first happy event, the old aunt of the system sent good news, he qualified to participate in the knockout round
The second happy event was that the official agency called him and asked him to get his high school diploma.
During the day, Xiu rushed over and saw his results: 136 points in Chinese, 125 points in mathematics, 150 points in comprehensive, and a total score of 411.
This score is gorgeous, and last year's admission line for cultural courses in undergraduate universities was only 400 points.
Just from the perspective of cultural courses, he has the strength to apply for undergraduate universities. However, if you really want to go to undergraduate, you must have a five-stage level in the college entrance examination, and you must have received a real high school education.
The daytime show didn't care so much, long live the pass.
He was presented with a red book with bold letters written on the cover: Senior High School Qualification Certificate (Correspondence).
This means that he has the strength of an evolutionary with more than four stages, as well as a high school level of education, and he can find a relatively good job when he goes out to apply.
After getting his certificate, he took a test by the way.
As expected by Bai Baixiu, in the past six days, he has become stronger again.
Physique gene: 66
Strength gene: 66
Agility Gene: 66
Comprehensive Assessment: All-round trainee sixth-stage evolutionary
This speed of evolution frightened the well-informed old man in the white coat.
In less than a week, the progress is so fast, the old man has never seen a few such demons in his thirty years of practice.
With the six-dan level, coupled with a high level of Chinese, Bai Shixiu has the qualification to apply for a junior college!
If he can afford to pay the school fee, he will be able to go to university in September.
After confirming that there were no side effects in his body, Bai Baixiu took a reassuring pill and went to Che Zhen's rental room beautifully.
At dusk, when he entered the door, he saw the second brother's expression heavy.
"What's wrong?" Bai Shixiu asked as soon as he entered.
"It's still good news, bad news." Che Zhen flicked the cigarette ash and said: "You don't have to pick this time, I'll tell you the good news first, I'm in the knockout round." ”
"Then you have to celebrate, why are you so miserable?" The daytime show didn't understand the situation.
"I want to celebrate, too, but I don't have the money!"
Second Master Che's face became even more bitter: "I admit it, you kid is really good at eating, and you will eat me poor in a week." Now I'm announcing the bad news - my little coffer, enough for you to have the last meal of beef tonight, and tomorrow morning, we'll have to drink the northwest wind. ”
Bai Tianxiu suddenly realized, and was suddenly a little embarrassed: "It's true, I unknowingly ate you for nothing." ”
Che Zhen smiled bitterly: "Your way of eating is a bit terrible." Wait for you to rise in a week, I guess it won't work, I think I'm going to do my old job tonight and make some money first. ”
Hearing the phrase "old business", Bai Baixiu didn't know whether to be angry or moved.
The boy took a deep breath and burst into ambition: "Don't worry, tomorrow is only a week's deadline." Starting in the early hours of tonight morning, the knockout round has officially begun, and I said that I will lose if I can't earn a month's living expenses! ”
