Chapter 9 Year-end Trial
In the blink of an eye, it is November, and the holiday day of December 15th is not far away. However, exams are essential before the holidays. Star Dou Academy pays attention to the combination of theory and practice, which can be seen from the teaching mode of one-day theoretical classes and one-day practical classes, so the final exam of Star Dou Academy is not just about writing a few papers. There is also an examination of practical courses. A good cadet is not about how good your theoretical transcript is, but how long you can survive in the harsh environment of the wild. You must know that not all soul beasts in this world have kindness to you, human beings are just a kind of food in the eyes of soul beasts, and soul masters in human beings are just high-level snacks or tonics in the eyes of soul beasts.
The end-of-year examination of the practical class is usually completed in the Dawn Forest in the eastern part of the empire. The difficulty of the examination task is different, and the credits obtained are also different, and the A-level task is the easiest, which is generally to hunt some soul beasts or collect some plants on the edge of the forest. However, the number of credits obtained for the simplicity of the task is less, and there are only 5 credits for a task. The passing grade for the practical class is 60 points, so if you want to choose all A-level tasks, you will have to choose 12.
B-Class missions are also gathering or hunting, but closer to the center of the forest. The credits have also increased accordingly, and it is a task of 7 credits, and you only need to do 9 to pass.
The range of C-class quests is deeper, and these quests are also hunting or gathering, but some soul beasts want to be alive. Some plants require some special collection methods. This type of task has a higher number of credits, and one has as many as 10 points. It's easy to take this type of task and pass it.
D-class missions are closer to the center of the forest, and the skill required to hunt or gather is even higher. However, the credits are also higher, and one task has as many as 15 points, and the corresponding danger is also more difficult.
E-level quests are the most difficult, these quests usually have only 10 quests per grade per year, and each quest is dangerous, and the soul beasts or plants required for the quest are on the edge of the center of the forest. This kind of task has 30 credits for each one, because there are only 10 for each grade, so this kind of task is also the foundation for the top 10 grades at the end of each grade.
Due to the different strengths of each grade student, the difficulty of each level of the task selected by each grade is also different, for example, the task of grade D difficulty selected by the second grade student is only level C difficulty or lower difficulty in the task selection list of the third grade student. Another example is that the E-level task of the first-year student is considered to be the difficulty of the D-level by the second-year student, and the third-year student is not even the C-level task. Fourth-graders seem to be giving away credits for nothing. The Forest Center is not that easy to get into. Let's take the E-level tasks of the sixth-year cadets every year, which are all completed by a team of five people, and there are also elders above the gold level of the academy secretly protecting them.
On November 5th, the college was already boiling, whether it was this year's new students or old students from previous years, everyone had an excited expression on their faces, because, tomorrow, November 6th, is the day when the selection of practical examination tasks is opened. Almost everyone is talking about the explicit task.
Ning Fan and Ning Jieming came to the cafeteria for lunch, the cafeteria was full of arguments, and this year's freshmen were even more excited because of their first contact. The old students are more calm, most of them are talking about the tasks they chose last year and the process of acquisition, there are sighs, grief and fear.
In the afternoon, Ning Fan, Ning Jieming and other freshmen went to the course selection hall to activate the course selection system. Because it's just a freshman, the number is not too much, but it's not too small, the freshmen, the inexperienced everyone is here, crowded in the course selection hall and messy. Later, it was the student council that came out to organize discipline.
Ning Fan and the others waited in a long line before it was their turn, and they saw two tables under the big screen in the original course selection hall, and there was an unknown small formation on the table, and they put their soul pet bracelet into the array, and the white light flashed, which was considered activated. Then a student council member next to him handed Ning Fan a thin pamphlet and told him that he could leave, which was the end.
Ning Fan came out and flipped through the booklet, only to know that after activating the bracelet, he waited until eight o'clock tomorrow after the task system was opened, and injected soul power into his heart to silently recite the practice trial task, and the task selection interface would automatically pop up. Flipping through it again, and seeing that there was no useful information, Ning Fan casually put the booklet into the space ring.
At this time, Ning Jieming also came out, and Ning Jieming asked, "Ning Fan, what type of task are you going to choose?"
"Well~ D-level and C-level, if you can grab B-level, then choose a few more B-level, I dare to say that tomorrow's A, B-level tasks will definitely not be easy to choose." Ning Fan thought for a moment and said.
"Well, yes, everyone likes low-level tasks, if it's not the kind of burning bag, who likes to run to the center of the evil forest. Hey, Ning Fan, what do you say they will choose?" Ning Jieming suddenly pulled Ning Fan's arm and said mysteriously.
"Huh?" Ning Fan turned his head to look at the place where Ning Jieming had gestured.
It turned out to be the group of 'Young Master Ouyang', 'Young Master Ouyang' is named Ouyang Ming, the youngest grandson of the contemporary head of the Ouyang family, it can be said that he is a collection of favors and one, but he himself is also angry, and the awakening ceremony was successfully awakened with bronze seven products, and in the next few years, with the advantages of the big family, what tonic supplements are eaten as meals, and the opening ceremony in July has been identified as the cultivation of the second grade of Xuantie. At present, half a year has passed, and he should have three grades of Xuantie.
"Well, Ou Yangming, he should be going to take on the E-level task, I heard last month that he was pursuing the genius girl Condensation Cream of Class 10, this mid-year exam is such a good opportunity to appear, I don't think he will let it go."
"Ning Fan, aren't you going to take on an E-level mission to try, I feel that with your strength, you should be able to complete it." Ning Jieming asked.
"E-level tasks, the challenge is so great, the benefits are so few, and the danger is also great, and with my brother's strength, it is troublesome to accidentally enter the top ten in the age, my brother wants to be low-key, pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger is the king." Ning Fan said seriously.
Ning Jieming pursed his lips and despised in his heart: "Sullen guy, it's still low-key, who doesn't know your Ning Fan's name now." I was deducted a few days after school started, who doesn't know you."
The figures of the two quickly disappeared into the crowd, and at the same time, Ou Yangming and his party were entering the course selection hall, and the two people who were originally walking behind Ou Yangming suddenly took a few steps forward and arrogantly pushed aside a few people who were lined up at the door, and forcibly opened up a broad road for Ou Yangming, who was walking behind. The few people who were pushed aside were about to scold angrily, and when they turned their heads, they saw that it was Ou Yangming, and the scolding words that had just reached their lips were swallowed back into their stomachs. Ou Yangming walked leisurely on the road opened for himself by his own thugs.
Just as the group was about to walk into the hall, Ning Chen, who was walking at the end, turned his head and glanced at the square in the distance, where two figures were gradually moving away. Then Ning Chen turned around and walked into the hall, a trace of fierceness flashed in his eyes.
Early the next morning, Ning Fan and Ning Jieming returned to the dormitory after dinner and waited for the system to be turned on. At eight o'clock, the system opened, Ning Fan entered the soul power into the system to select the first-grade trial task selection, and immediately a large number of tasks were displayed, A-level tasks were displayed in white font, B-level tasks were displayed in gray fonts, C-level tasks were displayed in bright yellow fonts, D-level tasks were displayed in orange and yellow fonts, and E-level tasks were displayed in red fonts. Each task is followed by two bars with green and red backgrounds, green when it is lit to mean that the task can be picked up, and red when it is lit to mean that the task is being picked up.
Ning Fan saw a large patch of gray and white flashing on the screen, interspersed with bright yellow, and a few orange-yellow, the most conspicuous red was not much, only a few flashes of sporadic flashes.
Ning Fan quickly picked a few orange-yellow and a few bright yellow, and finally grabbed a few gray-white ones, and after grabbing them, he looked at the tumbling bright red ones and hesitated for a long time to choose one.
After choosing, Ning Fan had time to carefully see what the task he had chosen. I saw two orange-yellow, two bright yellow, one creamy white, one gray-white, and one blood-red in the task list, and a total of 7 tasks were displayed in it. Ning Fan adjusted the order of the next tasks from simple to difficult. Seeing the first milky white task, he was going to the edge of the Dawn Forest to collect a plant called Angelica Grass, Ning Fan knew that this plant had also been seen in the course of refining pills, this plant was characterized by seven leaves with small white flowers, and the fruits were edible when they matured. However, if you want to use it as a medicinal herb, the flowering period is the best time to pick it, and the task also needs to be a flowering plant.
The off-white mission is to find an animal called the long-tailed rabbit near the edge of the forest, the long-tailed rabbit, as the name suggests, has a long tail, and people usually use the hair on its tail as a brush to whisk off some precious objects. The long-tailed rabbit can be found everywhere at the edge of the forest, but it is very agile, not too easy to catch, and the task requires that after catching the long-tailed rabbit, cut the very end of the long-tailed rabbit two-thirds of the way. In fact, it is strange to say that as long as the tail of a long-tailed rabbit does not fall more than half, it will become a complete tail again after a week. The task requires cutting from two-thirds of the way, which naturally shortens the recovery time of the long-tailed rabbit so as not to cause unnecessary casualties. It is important to know that the long-tailed rabbit lives at the bottom of the forest food chain, and its number seriously affects the balance of the forest food chain.
The two bright yellow missions are to hunt a soul beast named Green Leaf Green around the forest and pick a plant called sweet and sour fruit.
The two orange-yellow tasks are to pick a 10-year-old reishi grass and a 10-year-old white berry. Ganoderma lucidum grass is the main medicine for refining Xuantie-grade Gujidan, and white berries are the by-medicine for refining Xuantie-grade Gujidan.
The last red one was tasked with picking a plant at the edge of the forest heartland, called Elder Bu Lao, Ning Fan looked at the name very strangely, and the portrait looked weird. Ning Fan scratched his head, let's see when the time comes, if it doesn't work, give up this question. Then Ning Fan quit the system.
After Ning Fan exited the system, he saw Ning Jieming looking at him excitedly. "What's wrong?"
"Hey, you know, I've grabbed a couple of white quests, several." Ning Jieming said excitedly.
"A few are several," Ning Fan said speechlessly.
"You see, you see". Ning Jieming excitedly called up his task list.
I saw a piece of grayish white in the list, interspersed with three or four bright yellows in the middle, and an orange-yellow strip at the end. Ning Fan counted five milky white, three gray-white, four bright yellow, and one orange-yellow. Ning Fan calculated, if all these tasks were completed, he would have 101 points. said: "You are more than enough."
"What's over-the-top." Ning Jieming asked confusedly.
"The total score is more than one point." Ning Fan raised his tone.
"Oh, that, don't you know, the total score is not on the line, only the bottom line is 60 points, the line is not, as long as you can grab it, you can pick it up casually, but if you can't finish it, there will be a punishment." Benjamin explained.
"And this statement?" Ning Fan asked in surprise.
"yes, you don't know? It's written on the last page of the booklet." Ning Jieming was even more puzzled.
Ning Fan took out the booklet and looked at it, and sure enough, the last line of the last page was written in small words, and the approximate meaning was similar to what Ning Jieming said. Suddenly, 10,000 grass and mud horses galloped past in my heart.
