Chapter 5 The Month-End Assessment The mysterious gold-rimmed glasses

The sound of clattering chalk slowed down, and a middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses wrote on the blackboard: Month-end assessment!

The force is very strong, as if it is engraved on it.

Shortly after the end of the month, Al finally met the rumored head teacher, who seemed to be a very uninhibited man, with a white suit and black crocodile leather shoes, and his gestures were very powerful, and he felt very majestic: "Scumbags, I'm glad that this is the first time we've met, I'm your head teacher, and I am in charge of the life and death of this class, so it's okay!" Everyone was still silent, "Very good! Then the assessment begins!" The middle-aged man in the gold-rimmed glasses snapped his fingers, and in an instant, the world shifted, and there was a different scene in front of him, the towering ivory tower stood in a verdant grassland, and the blue and pure sky without a single blemish was like a fantasy jewel.

Pure amazement, it felt so amazing, this sudden transformation, this sight?????? It's like a dream. Everyone was so surprised, but more people showed a strong respect in their middle-aged eyes. Well, anyway, your quality as a magician is really poor, and you don't know how much fuss you will have later. The impatient expression of the gold wire glasses made the students' faces redden, and they didn't know how to respond.

Young magician apprentices, have you ever played the game of science? The middle-aged man with golden wire glasses said such a sentence so tepidly, which instantly disrupted the train of thought of the students below, and they all looked at their homeroom teacher with intriguing eyes, the previous prestige was completely collapsed now, and a word popped up in everyone's hearts: jump out!

Shaking his head, silent, not knowing how to answer, the middle-aged man casually pointed to a blonde and blue-eyed white man who was the same one that day, a young man who claimed to be mysterious and glorious, he hesitated, but quickly got up from his seat. The middle-aged man was very satisfied, and symbolically pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said, "Very good, I know how to respect the teacher, then your answer." ”

The young man was still a little hesitant, he clenched his fists, and said his answer loudly: "Played!" Looking at the guy with bloodshot eyes, the middle-aged man gave encouraging applause, and he was very brave enough to dare to say such a forbidden word in public: "You are very lucky, this is the academy, there is nothing to take into account?????? Remember that I am the master in the class, and it is I who decides your life and death, behave well, the prompt is here, enter the examination room, although your time is limited, don't submit the paper in advance. ”

So, under the friendly reminder of the head teacher, a group of people in Al entered the ivory tower, which was actually a pure white honeycomb structure, and the octagonal wall bricks were stacked little by little, forming a hollow building.

Suddenly, some people began to tremble, and the atmosphere seemed a little uneasy, and Al seemed to sense it, and always felt that something was missing, and someone began to shout loudly, as if enchanted: "There is no mystery, there is no mystery, there is no mystery at all?????? What the hell is this?????? Don't?????? Wrong????? It can't be!"

Everyone seemed to have been brainwashed and became chattering, but the sudden electronic sound broke the uneasy noise that filled the air: "The exam is about to begin, the hive will provide the final guidance, the time limit is half an hour, start now." The red countdown numbers counted the seconds on all the octagonal tiles, and as time ticked by, the atmosphere of panic rose again. "What are you?" said the blonde youth, who suddenly shouted in a high-pitched voice.

"Hive, the administrator of this exam. The answer without emotion seemed very cold, like a machine, a passive response.

"So what kind of exams are we going to do?" Al stepped up, he couldn't stand it anymore, time passed little by little, and these guys couldn't calm down?????? It's been more than ten minutes, and I don't even know what I'm doing when I came in. Fortunately, the answer to the test gave a standard answer: "Candidates will go to the science side to complete the game "Word", and all those who fail the task will be considered as failing." ”

"The assessment begins. ”

After speaking, in a trance, everyone once again experienced the feeling of turning the universe upside down, without white, there was still a grassland in front of them, but there was no ivory tower, a sense of strangeness came to their hearts, Al felt similar to the feeling of being kicked into the 'door' by the boss, it was very weird.

"Someone is missing!"

"Layout, menu, what's this?"

"There's still no mystery here!"

"The magic doesn't work!"

"Isn't mystery no longer favoring me?"

"Is this still an exam?

The connection of these circumstances reminded Al of a term he had seen in the past - virtual reality. I didn't expect to see the real thing in my lifetime.

Groping around in front of me, I saw an exit option, just in the lower right corner, touched it, and the yes or no option popped up. The indescribable realism makes it feel like it's magic, not science. Touching it casually feels real and abnormal, if it weren't for the menu layout that existed in front of him, Aldujue's previous might have been a dream. As time passed, everyone began to calm down. Recall,The purpose at this time,Gradually, some people began to notice the menu panel,And began to discuss,The topic is what happens after you quit the game?Basic common sense everyone still knows a little.,After all, it's not the orthodox magicians of the past.,Collect it.,It's basically summed up.,That is:"This isn't a real body and it's fake!"

In less than five minutes, the whole group gradually became clearly divided, divided into three small groups of different sizes, and from the point of view of the situation, it can be said that it is basically divided by intimacy. Unfortunately, there was no Al, and so was the blonde young man, who was just as isolated as Al. And it's no wonder, because the strange remarks made in public have the same nature as Al, that is, they are all ostracized. Al found that in addition to them, there was also the purple-haired girl who sat in front of Al in the previous magic history class, she seemed to be a little hesitant, and sometimes she would look cautiously at Al side, as if she was worried about joining there.

Suddenly, the blond-haired young man approached Al and whispered, "Errigin, what do you think?" This casual attitude seemed to be a friend, so casual, so casual that Al was a little surprised, I don't know how to react, just before, you caused me a lot of trouble?????? Just as Al was about to answer, someone suddenly decided to try logging out of the game to find out what was going on.

There were three people in total, all of whom were leaders of three small groups, and all of them were around the three of them, watching what would happen to the three of them, and some of the same isolated people were also watching from the periphery. Al and the "glorious" blonde man also stood together and watched, and the three of them seemed to have discussed it and said at the same time: "In half an hour, if we don't come back, don't log out, let's play the game as soon as possible." "It looks quite sad, they have heard from their ancestors about the cruelty of the magician's assessment, there is no way, someone has to do things, this is the concept that magicians have had since ancient times, and if they still have a life, they will also get more ratings than others, equivalent exchange is also the concept of magicians, there is no such thing as nothing, you have to pay what you want to get, respect, honor, mystery These are the lifelong pursuit of magicians.

"Shattered!"

The bodies of the three people turned into glass-like substances, exploded into pieces and disappeared in front of everyone's eyes, it was panic and surprise, this way of disappearing was beyond the cognition of the young chicks, it looked like death "His breath is gone! What is this a game?", Al chewed on an unknown object and watched this scene interestingly, while the blonde youth before was a little depressed, not knowing what he was thinking. It wasn't long before the people gathered again and talked about the rewards for completing the task later, as if they were winning.

"Funny? That's who we are. Al said nonsensically, as if he was talking to himself, and his tone was flat as if he didn't expect someone to answer, "?????? What are you trying to express? Standing up, Al opened the panel and said to the youth: "I'm quitting the game, see you again when you have a chance, add a friend first!"

The young man looked at the invitation box that popped up in front of him in surprise, hesitated for a moment and clicked, and with a bang, Al's body shattered into pieces like glass, and disappeared into the game world with a smiling face, leaving only Al's last words echoing there: "Also, don't call me orange!" All this incidentally aroused the ideas of others, but those people just laughed. The young man was a little unwilling, clenched his fists and asked himself: "Why does he have such courage, or stupidity, to make a reckless move in the unknown world, such a seemingly suicidal behavior?" The young man was still waiting, his eyes glancing at the logout button from time to time, his expression a little confused, but his hands tensed from time to time.

"Oh, the man is back!, what have you found?" Suddenly there was a trace of sadness in the young man's eyes, mockery, his hand slowly clicked on the exit button, bang-shattered and goodbye, and the sight turned from dark to bright, a building with a strong European style appeared in front of the young man's eyes, green sprouting, full of vitality, this is the breath of spring, the young man took off the hood-like object on his head, everything in front of him was so strange.

More than a month later, a black-haired teenager leaned against the wall and squinted slightly in the departure hall as if he was waiting for someone, some people came in and out one after another, but the teenager has been unmoved, has been silent, and seems very patient, until a pair of mother-daughter people appeared in the hall to occupy the sight of most men with a particularly conspicuous appearance, the teenager then had a move, obviously the teenager was waiting for them, walked up to talk politely, took over the luggage after confirming that it was correct, and beckoned people to guide the mother and daughter out of the airport, all the way to a villa by the sea, after arriving, everyone performed their duties, except for luggage。 The luggage was carried by the boy alone, and more than a dozen suitcases were constantly pressed on the young man's immature shoulders, but he did not show a trace of anxiety, but coped with it with empty eyes and a poker-like expression, as if he was used to it. It seems to be a worker who has been working here for a long time, but it is particularly awkward to build on the boy who has a very high resemblance to a middle-aged woman. The young man changed out of his sweat-soaked shirt, washed it, put on a set of dark waiter's clothes and stood on the side of the living room, on the other hand, the mother and daughter were leisurely enjoying refreshments on the sofa, occasionally talking about where to go in the past, looking like they were talking and laughing, very harmonious, a rich scene.

During the conversation, the middle-aged woman called out to the young man standing aside at an inopportune time: "Four leaves, did you hear clearly? After the young man heard this, he turned around and signaled that he understood. The girl on the side showed a disgusted expression, like a child eager for some kind of request from her parents, looking at her mother helplessly, only to get a gentle smile from the middle-aged woman, stroked the girl's black hair as straight as a waterfall, and her eyes showed determination, seeing this scene, the girl lowered her little head as if she was resigned to her fate, but in private she still glared at the boy viciously, as if it was all his fault.

"World Connect, Login!"

The black-haired boy took out a hood-like object and lay flat on the bed, loosening his waiter's suit, his eyes full of excitement, like a child playing a game. Just as he shouted that magical password in his heart, in an instant, he came to a city full of magic and very strong, not far ahead, there was a young man in heavy armor where he was squatting, the corner of his mouth showed a snake-like smile, and he waved the heavy sword in his hand, like plastic, and felt extremely light. The black-haired boy also changed from black hair to blonde hair at this time, and his figure became burly, he looked apologetic, rubbing his shiny hair, and felt that his whole body was exuding a golden light, which was particularly dazzling: "Sorry, Leto, no, Al????? There are some special guys here, and I have to work hard, I didn't expect it to drag on for such a long time???"

"Oh, that's okay, it's not time for the strategy anyway, so let's talk about your situation first, Fry. ”

The blonde young man spread his hands helplessly: "Fortunately, there are no problems, it's just a little boring, and I feel like I'm about to forget myself." The boy known as Al snorted, pointed to Frye's clothes and smiled: "Is it still that mage robe? Didn't you take the time to brush the ??????copy alone and earn some points?" After hearing this, Al laughed: "Then dear young master, why don't you take care of me, so that I can free up more time." Frye looked calm, and touched his money bag: "What do you mean?" Al had a cold face, and retreated unconsciously: "Hey, hey, although it's a female body, Lao Tzu is a pure man! Get out, who is!" Seeing Al Liang's posture, Frye decisively changed the subject: "Just kidding, I really don't have much time, and you know that I don't have a status in that place, so don't mock me???????"

Frye propped up his waist and lay a little lazily on the floor tiles on the side, looking extremely relaxed, and then clicked a few times in the air, conjured an hourglass out of thin air, and asked, "Al, how much time do you have online?" Hearing this, Al covered his forehead a little helplessly: "Can you divert the topic from a higher level?????? Frye waved the hourglass in a bit of a panic to try to make himself more convincing: "I'm serious! I'm going to attack the Demon God Temple later, it's very troublesome to die, if I don't have enough time, I still have some money, you can use it to recharge it, don't be in trouble if you can't be resurrected by then." Hearing the pronunciation of the money, Al decided not to be serious with Frye, and immediately initiated a transaction! How fast his hand was, lightning speed! Satisfied, Al leaned aside, and conjured two loaves of bread out of thin air in the same way as Frye: "Come, please eat this bread without cream." ”

Frye stared at the bread in his hand speechlessly: "This naming system sucks. As he spoke, he bit down hard, staring at the boy named Al, as if Frye was eating bread without cream instead of bread but Al, and as the atmosphere relaxed, Frye began to talk to Aldon Lassi.

"Fry, I really envy you! The external conditions obtained are really happy compared to other people, and I have been drawn to such a lottery, and I am the eldest young master, and I am of the same gender, so it is convenient to move! I don't need to adapt anymore, look at what other people have accidentally dressed into, what kind of woman, old man, child! What is the same thing! This earth-shaking adaptation period is enough to drink a pot, like I tried my best to find out my identity and prevent being found abnormal??? Fortunately, this guy's family background is not complicated, otherwise?????? Oh, by the way, patronize me, tell me about your situation, we haven't exchanged information in a long time. Alsu babbled endlessly and finally handed over the right to the waiting Fry, who swallowed the dry bread that had not yet been chewed and wiped his sweat: "Whew-it's my turn? Well, I've made some discoveries??????" Frye glanced at Al and said, "Artificial magic, have you heard of it?" Al looked blank and shook his head in rejection, "Really? What about the forbidden magic record?" As a result, Al gave Frye a fierce look, as if to warn him: "Hey, I want you to look good if the kid sells it again!" So I'll talk about the forbidden magic record first.,You shouldn't have used magic.,That's what I'm going to say.,Don't use magic.,Otherwise, you'll suffer.,That thing seems to detect the mystery of magic.,And you can locate the location of the spell.,Expose yourself to the scientific side.,That's very dangerous.,But that's not the key.,Once it's absolutely necessary.,You use it.,Then run as far as you can.,Don't conflict with the guy called the Forbidden Demon.,In his hands.,At that time, even if it's a mortal, you may not be able to defeat.,It will bring endless humiliation. ????”

Suddenly, in a flash of inspiration, he seemed to have caught something. The black-haired boy listened with a gloomy face, he finally understood something, forbidden magic record, detection, exposure, magician, magic world, all this was actually caused by himself, this is the price caused by overdraft salary? What would not have happened, he could live as the boss said, everything is just his own hands?????? Not to mention losing a quarter of my salary, I still have to complete this damn task now, and I will lose my life if I don't do it.

"Hey, are you listening? Do you remember!Hey?" Looking at the stunned Al, Frye showed his dissatisfaction for the first time, and when Al finally came back to his senses, he slowed down and said, "Got it, you go on, I'm listening." Seeing Al's look of loss, Fry swallowed his resentment and continued: "Then let me tell you about artificial magic, which is no secret in the scientific world, as it literally, the scientific side seems to be studying the mystery and making it scientific. I've heard that there have been remarkable results now, but in my opinion, they are far worse than magic, not to mention magic, a miracle that only thirteen magicians can master. Hearing this, Al sensed something was wrong: "Wait??????? You said thirteen magicians, aren't there only twelve?" Suddenly interrupted, it was still a matter of common sense, and Fry felt that everything had been said before, and covered his face in an exaggerated way and said: "Okay, you don't know this? Just kidding, this is common sense, there are thirteen magicians in total!Although the thirteenth magician has disappeared in less than a hundred years, it is also the central figure among magicians?????? Well, I'll continue. Frye straightened his leather fanny pack and was ready to continue, only to hear the strange onomatopoeia of the beam, someone came, and the people who arrived one after another began to pour out of the magic group that Frye had come out, and both of them fell silent and stood aside.

They are all magician apprentices in one class, and there are ten of them online, plus Al and Frye are just twelve.

There were many small groups of people, but it was generally clear that they were made up of two different large groups. It's a pity that Frye and Al are still clearly excluded from the periphery, lukewarm. As for why Al and Frye came here, they had no choice but to move through the Demon God Temple to move to the next area. And there is a boss town that is not a group can attack. "Okay, let's talk about the strategy before the battle, according to the battle report ahead, we are going to attack the rock elf Morpheus, according to the intelligence, he has an extremely difficult talent skill every 180 seconds will spawn a granite skin equivalent to ten percent of the current health, given that the boss has quite good resilience, if we fall into a war of attrition with him, it will be very disadvantageous for us, we must cause more than 15% of its damage in the next 180 seconds to effectively curb his recovery, avoid a war of attrition, and then each wave requires to create damage that can destroy at least 11% of his health?????? Therefore, the higher the damage caused in the first time, the better it will be for us, which will be the key to our strategy of Morpheus, as for the rest of the information, we can only explore it ourselves, and the funds are limited, so our funds can only be exchanged for such information. Al whispered to Fry, "It's disgusting, it's a real time, at least half an hour to pass, it's really bad, I don't know how many waves I have to destroy on the way??????" Frye touched his nose with some embarrassment, and his eyes turned horizontally to the high platform, but Al didn't care, and continued: "What's the matter?" At this time, a young man dressed as a paladin in bright red armor came over, standing behind Al with a malicious attitude and staring at it for a long time, and the hairy Al finally reacted a little, and said haha: "The above must be a fart, we must all be able to win, isn't it Frye???" Frye couldn't help but wipe his sweat and nodded, explaining to the red-armored paladin by the way, but the man didn't buy it at all: "Oh, yes, how about Brother Tai having such a unique opinion and not swiping a copy alone?" Al smiled a little reluctantly, "I'm just commenting casually, I'm just a little worried about the future." The man patted his sleeve arrow and seemed to be a little distracted, and his tone dragged on for a long time: "Even if you don't trust your teammates so much, it's a burden to keep it?????" Frye was not happy, waved his hand, and angrily pointed at the young man dressed as a knight with a cane that appeared out of thin air, and shouted: "You invited me, ours, because of the friendship of my classmates, what are you doing like this!"

"What's the matter with you, it's definitely them who are wrong, why don't you let me argue with him?"

"Oh, you're really stupid to be scientific, aren't you? When did the magicians refuse to give someone a reason to give someone else, apparently they already had someone else come over to replace them??? I've seen people come in before, so that's why I'm doing it in vain??????"

"But we're going to graduate too???"

"Fry, who said we had to use the power of a magician to pass the exam?"

"This is the science side! The most important thing is that there is no shortage of people who can play games, and there are more people!"

When Fry heard this, he looked like he didn't understand, and patted his staff, that's it!

Frye said: "Al, I seem to understand a little, you mean to find a helper in the human world?" Al was a little relieved, this is a big step forward for the magician, clapped his hands, pushed Frye with an old-fashioned posture and said: "Don't exclude, let go of those meaningless dogmas, I believe you still want to graduate, the equipment in the back, it's up to you, the virtual reality simulator is not something that ordinary people can use, okay, come on, Frye hopes you can also pull good teammates?????? Let's pause the strategy first. ”

"Hey, when are we going to meet?????? In reality, I have something to hand over to you. ”

"This is my real-life address!"

"That's it! Don't talk about the rest, you'll understand when you see it. ”

"Time?????? Haven't told me yet??????"

"You can find someone and contact me. ”
