Chapter 56: A Chance Encounter
When he passed the fifteenth layer of training, Lu Ping'an's trial had actually ended early.
Lu Ping'an didn't lie, the most difficult battle for him was actually the 5th layer of the second experience, and the bitter battle with the Heroic Spirit Knight of the same school.
Intelligence is always the first point of professional battles.
The Heroic Spirit Knight of the Shield Axe, who had a better understanding of his own genre, took the initiative to avoid all valid hits.
At the same time, he also took the initiative to limit the power of Lu Ping'an's "resonance" to weapons, and constantly used his "resonance" to offset it in battle.
When both abilities fail, it becomes a contest of skills.
And this time, the double-layer can on the fifteenth floor is just an empty rank, slow and strong.
In fact, if you really take out a professional with 3rd order standard combat power to defend it, it will probably not be a test of the candidates, but a death of the candidates.
Don't look at its humanoid form and seem to have intelligence, it's just a template monster like Alex and Jiuhu Bird, with a mechanical and inflexible attack pattern.
The gap between him and the real professional is probably about the same as that between the Wine Lake Bird and the Erfist Xue En, who are also of the first order.
For qualified professionals, it is not difficult to hunt monsters of the same rank.
Maybe some of its hardware conditions have reached the standard of the third order, but when it relies on its metal body and eats the slash of Lu Ping'an, it is doomed to failure.
Like other candidates, in the eyes of many people, only after passing the tenth layer of the second-order demon has the excellent combat power of the first-order medium.
In fact, judging by the results, this judgment is correct.
Those who have played 10 floors are at least 1 order, those who have played 15 floors are basically 2 orders, and those who have played 20 floors are less than 20 people, either third order or high-quality second order.
Don't look at the number of people, but this time there are high-quality candidates from several colleges, including senior practitioners, which is not the standard for students for a long time.
In fact, due to the school's interference, they stopped after hitting the 21st floor.
Otherwise, if you play a little more, the standard scores of other candidates will be too ugly, which will also affect the selection of the exam.
Yilu Ping'an's hardware was supposed to go back after 10 layers of grinding again.
Now after the 15th floor, at the end of any floor is considered earned.
β...... At least, not a loss. β
After taking a look at the tomahawk technique (wave school) that had reached LV6, Lu Ping'an already felt that he had gotten the biggest gain from this experience.
This is the core skill of the Silver Rune Axe Fighter of the 2nd rank class, and the core combat method of the battle class up to LV12.
As far as the current manifestation is concerned, even if it does not reach the baseline of the third order, it should have reached the middle level of the second order.
Even if Lu Ping'an only has LV6 left now, it is still a shrunken version of the general skill, he is still extremely satisfied.
Its combat power is actually not important, the important thing is to help Lu Ping An open a door.
β...... Isn't an axe or something like a long handle and an axe blade? I can play with a lot of tricks, and the Heroic Knight's shield axe combo also taught me a lesson, I don't really need to be limited to the two-handed axe form. What suits me better, maybe a longer axe handle, a more eerie curved blade......"
The "treasures" I get now, whether it is a part-time job or integrating into my existing gameplay, are huge gains.
It's just that the next road to the tower made him a little bored.
"It's a little hard to get used to."
Silver light flew again, and the three living armors on the seventeenth layer were directly shattered.
When Lu Ping'an no longer deliberately kept his hand and shot with all his might, the monster in front of him couldn't stop him at all.
He doesn't need to be sharpened in actual combat, these iron cans can only delay his time, so he naturally kills with all his might.
Soon, he was standing at the door of the 20th floor.
"Why don't you try?"
This is a third-order secret realm, and generally speaking, the highest is a quasi-fourth-order monster, if not too difficult......
"Excuse me, say goodbye, never see you again."
As soon as he entered the gate, Lu Ping'an chose to give up without hesitation.
Inside, four tin cans that are exactly the same as the 15th floor are waiting for you!
From the perspective of the Secret Realm Manager, this probably means that "quasi-fourth-order creatures" are about the same as "four third-order creatures".
But for challengers, such an obvious quantitative gap setting can also make people give up directly.
[The third-order secret realm 'Yongzhen Abyss' has been completed, and Lu Ping'an's overall evaluation is 'D'. γ
When Lu Ping'an chose to give up, the feedback from the secret realm also came.
This time, there was no message from the knight lord, and the options given were similar to usual.
Short-term blessings are no longer meaningful, and although the additional "knight trial" is fragrant, it is not blessed to be blessed by oneself who has reached the limit.
There are other test items in the future, and I need to go back early to adjust.
If you get injured again, it will be ugly when you pay it back tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.
After thinking about it for a while, Lu Ping'an still made option C, the forbidden items are too fragrant.
"If you have the ability, give me another bottle of shower gel...... I'll go! Knight, no, please leave me alone. β
Looking at the white jade bottle full of white jade in his hand, Lu Ping'an wanted to cry without tears, is this the mistake made by the young Aikouhi.
But on closer inspection, the results turned out to be a little better than expected.
γBinnaire's Weapon Maintenance Liquid (Quasi-Spell)γ
[Function: Tempered Enchantment (Unrated Enchantment), used during maintenance of metal weapons, can increase its sharpness for a short time. γ
The rating is not high, and there is no relevant comment from the knight master, but Lu Ping'an likes it very much.
This simple and practical consumable, no matter how much you don't dislike, can also be used in actual combat..... Even if you don't want to use it, you can still sell it at a good price.
And when he just walked out of the secret realm, he really got the gaze of countless eyes.
He smiled, and walked towards the ancient city candidates who had already begun to line up with his battle axe.
And when he walked there, the people on the side subconsciously avoided it, making way for the space that the heavy weapon holder needed.
It's not fear, it's respect for the strong.
Lu Ping'an knew that one of his additional goals had been achieved.
β...... Then, when the last round of candidates fights, everyone will think of me as a melee fighter and avoid melee battles with me. β
Lu Ping'an insisted on using axe skills and avoided using gardener abilities as much as possible, which would naturally make other audiences have wrong perceptions.
When the time comes, someone will definitely misjudge, and I don't know who will be so unlucky.
Time is coming to an end soon, and candidates who enter the secret realm can't hold on for long even if they want to grind time.
As the last candidate left, when the dust fell, an ensemble of whimpering and sighing appeared in the square.
β...... I'm hopeless. I've only scored less than eight points now......"
"I'm pretty much the same, hey, it's too difficult, how can someone go over the 20th floor, isn't this bullying."
"Stop talking, does self-soothing work? Everyone will be deducted standard points, and the lack of strength is just here. β
The candidate who angrily scolded others for "self-comforting" started crying by himself as he spoke, and it was obvious that his end was also quite bad.
At this time, Lu Ping'an realized that this was the "college entrance examination", and it was the moment that decided the fate of many people.
β...... My coefficient, my coefficient, 0.82? Isn't it good? β
The standard number of layers and the standard time are out, and there is a certain degree of difficulty correction (almost equal to useless), which is equal to the final score is out.
Lu Ping'an counted it, and it seemed that the score was okay.
β3.69οΌ Isn't that good? My culture score is 9.73, which means that my overall score is 13.42 out of 15, which should be considered good. β
But after looking at the crying and shouting around him, and considering the pitiful admission rate of the ancient city, Lu Ping'an decided to go back and ask again.
"That's right....."
Lu Ping'an writes text messages briskly, types and sends them.
"Meng Xin's actual combat 1 round 3.69 points, total score 13.42, can you pass?"
Originally, as far as Lu Ping'an could see, the cats not far away were still wagging their tails happily, and they seemed to have done well in the test.
When he opened the phone, his ears were pricked up, and when he turned around, he glared at Lu Ping'an, lowered his head and quickly typed back.
"Can't! Get lost! β
Can I pass? As mentioned before, the actual combat score is ruthless, and this passing score of 3 points is not easy to get.
In addition, he is from the logistics department (18 points last year), Lu Ping'an's results have been stable as long as he does not fool around and does not give up the exam.
Looking at the text message, Lu Ping'an smiled, ready to increase her BUFF maintenance fee again...... You're about to take the second round of the actual combat exam, do you dare to offend me at this time?
However, looking at the thunderous cats, Lu Ping'an still took a deep breath of satisfaction from a long distance.
"It's back, it's all back, my daily routine."
Perhaps, for him, watching cats and cats jump is already a pleasant daily routine to relax and relax.
The rare diligence ended here, Lu Ping'an's state was really not good, he got into the car and found a corner and began to nap.
When the bus sent the candidates back to the city, the parents and relatives of the candidates were already waiting there.
Lu Ping'an walked away quickly, he had no interest in the doubling sighs and whimpering.
The admission rate and difficulty of this paper to the extreme are destined to reduce the number of candidates present in the next round by at least half.
And he hadn't taken two steps before he suddenly slowed down.
Chrissy reached out to him, and there was a rare wavering in her words.
β....... Don't look back, the cultist with my 'holy relic' is right behind you. β
