Chapter 248: Beating a child

At six o'clock in the afternoon, the 'silent' class ended.

After learning three classes a day, Mu You has gained a lot, and the progress of the floating spell, the arc sword, and the silent spell has been: 75%, 45%, and 37.5% respectively.

But that's not the end of today's business.

After hurriedly solving dinner and feeding the animals in the store and space in turn, at 7:50 in the evening, Mu You stood in front of his mobile phone and controlled the game characters to rush to the school dueling arena in advance.

You've come to the Duel Square. 】

[Approaching the duel time, this place is already crowded. As the dueling arena is the main source of the Order of the Red Rose, students of all year levels of the academy are keen to actively participate in this activity every day. 】

[In the center of the Duel Square, on the seven huge magic projection walls, the medal rankings of the seven grades are displayed, but only the top 100 medal owners of each grade are displayed. Do you want to see the list? 】

The familiar ranking list is very vulgar, but it is essential, and the psychology of comparison exists everywhere, and only with this thing can the willingness of students to participate in duels be stimulated to the greatest extent.

Mu You wasn't interested in the list, but just checked the seventh-grade list, and soon found the name of the owner of the Coke in it.

[Chrisfuya, 7th grade, current number of medals this school year: 702.] Medal ranking: 11th place. 】

"The 700 Medals are only 11th in the 11th ...... The competition is fierce! Mu You sighed. Remember the URL

Red Rose Academy starts in late July every year, which means that this year's academic year has just over 20 days to go. Accumulate 700+ medals in 20 days, even if you complete the number of medals every day, you need to reach a win rate of more than 70%, and at the same time, you need to get at least one additional reward of three consecutive wins every day to be able to do so.

However, according to this number of medals, those students who are good enough can even earn back the sky-high annual tuition fees through the dueling arena.

[At 7:55 p.m., the daily routine of the rules of the dueling arena floated over the square: each duel lasted for a maximum of five minutes, and the side that died first or voluntarily admitted defeat within five minutes lost, and no one died after five minutes, the winner was judged according to the remaining health of both sides at the end. Once the duel is complete, both sides will automatically regenerate all health and mana ......]

[Please consciously abide by the school rules of civilized competition, and there shall be no bad behaviors such as insults, torture, and whipping corpses during the duel, otherwise they will be punished according to the severity of the circumstances......]

The duel rules broadcast are displayed in text one by one.

Mu You carefully read them all and found two hidden rules that were not mentioned in the text before.

The first is the protection of newbies, the new first-year freshmen who enter each year will participate in the duel in the first three months, and will only match the freshmen who have been enrolled for no more than three months.

Second, if you defeat someone who has won five or more consecutive games, you can get additional medals according to the opponent's winning streak, and you can get a few medals if you win a few games in a row.

The first one is nothing to say.,The new students who have just entered the school are basically some magic apprentices.,Less magic.,Combat experience is less.,Let them duel with those old students who have been learning for a year and a half.,It's completely a point-give-away.,So the first three months are set up as a novice protection period.,New students can only peck each other in the novice field.。

The higher the streak, the higher the value you have, and the more your playing style and weaknesses will be repeatedly studied, and the easier it will be to be targeted.

Five minutes is a fleeting time.

As soon as eight o'clock arrived, the option of [Challenge Registration] popped up in the text on time.

Mu You clicked on the option for the first time.

[Enter mana into the badge to indicate that you are ready for a duel.] 】

【Dueling Arena matches you with opponents' mid-......】

【Match Successful!】 Your first match is against Jones Damian, a first-year student, and your winning streak: 7. 】

[You and your opponent are swallowed up by the 'Illusion Creation' in the center of the plaza and come to a randomly generated illusion field.] 】

[Site size: 1000*1000 meters. Scene: Coniferous forest. 】

"7 wins in a row?"

Mu You raised his eyebrows, but he didn't expect to match him with an opponent who had won seven in a row.

Hurriedly opened the list and checked the opponent's information.

In the ninth place on the first-grade list, Mu You found the name.

[Jones Damian: The famous young master of the Jones family, only 9 years old, has mastered more than ten kinds of magic before entering the school, and is one of the most promising genius freshmen among the new recruits this year, currently with a medal: 406, ranking ninth on the first-year list. 】

Mu You glanced at the other party's attributes with the omniscient crystal again.

[Jones Damian (Level 10 Unevolved), Strength: 10, Agility 15, Intelligence 35, Constitution 25, Health: 2500, Mana: 3500......]

After reading the attributes, Mu You suddenly had a bottom.

Although he was an auditor, he was also a freshman who had just joined the academy after all, so he was also assigned to the novice field. And the novice field is matched with a group of little hairy children who have just joined the academy for less than a month.

This is also the reason why Mu You has the confidence to participate in the dueling arena.

Even if the duel on the opposite side is only a game AI, and he can't exert too much strength in the body, even if he is banned from black magic, equipment and vampire skins, but by virtue of his attributes, his game characters are still enough to crush this group of small pot friends.

[You entered the taiga forest at the same time as your opponent.] 】

[All the equipment and props on your body have lost their effect, and more than ten standard weapons including wands, swords, bows, guns, and shields have appeared in front of you, and you can choose any three. 】

You have chosen a wand, a knife, and a bow and arrow. 】

[Damien chooses a wand, a short sword, and a shield.] 】

[The duel begins, and Damian confidently rushes through the jungle towards you.] 】

[Damien stops as he approaches eighty meters, raises his wand and begins chanting magic.] 】

[You use a throat lock tongue on it, forcibly interrupting the other person's chanting, and the other person falls into a state of silence for five seconds.] 】

[You unleashed Arcane Missiles, Thunderballs, Pyrotechnics, and Ring of Flame on Damien...... Your opponent's health quickly slips under your magic bombardment. 】

[Damien was so shocked that he could only turn around and run away in silence.] 】

You cast the Snowball Spell. 】

[The Snowball Charm rolls past and hits his opponent accurately, leaving Damian frozen for four seconds.] 】

[You quickly approach and swing your knife at the other person......]

[Damian was hacked to death by you!] 】

[You killed Damian (level 10) and ended the opponent's seven-game winning streak, experience +20, Red Rose Medal +8.] 】

The whole battle ended smoothly in only one minute and fourteen seconds, and Mu You didn't even lose a drop of blood on his side, and he won a complete victory, but unfortunately there was no additional reward for the complete victory.

After one game, there were still three and a half minutes before the cooldown of the next game, Mu You had nothing to do, and was ready to get up and pour a glass of water.

Before he could move, he saw a new text pop up.

[Your opponent Damian has raised serious doubts about this match, and he has reported you for cheating.] 】

[The 'Referee Master Ball' in the dueling arena works automatically, and the ...... in the analysis video is analyzed]

[After the analysis, the whole duel was reasonable, there were no illegal operations, and Damian's report was dismissed.] 】

[Damian is angry! 】

[Damian exits the dueling arena and sends you an invitation to a free-field duel.] Acceptable? 】

"Oh?"

Mu You was stunned for a moment, the operation just now seemed to have broken the defense of the child opposite, and he was not convinced and wanted to come to him again.

Mu You glanced at the description of the 'Free Field'.

[Free Field: A special dueling field, there is no limit to the grade, equipment, or magic in the free field, and you can use any means you have to defeat the opponent until one of the two sides dies or admits defeat. Dying in free play does not cost experience or life, but there is no reward for winning. 】

No rewards? There's no reward, and it's a hair!

"No." Mu You decisively refused.

You declined Damian's free field invitation. 】

[Damian is even more angry, swings his fist at you in the air, and evaluates your performance in the last duel: one star.] The verdict is: Coward! 】

[Your evaluation of Damian's last duel performance: five stars.] The comment is: Fortune Boy. 】

[Damian yelled at you, was warned once by the dueling arena, and deducted a Red Rose badge.] 】

[Damian left in a huff.] 】

"Hehe, bear child......"

Mu You went to brew tea, drank tea leisurely, and waited for the next one to start.

Soon, the challenge cooldown ended, and Mu You pressed the matching option for the first time.

【Match Successful!】 Your opponent in the second game is, first-year student: Whitehead Joanna (level 5), current winning streak: -3. 】

The opponent in the second game was even weaker, only a level 5 child, and it seemed that he had just experienced three consecutive defeats.

This time, Mu You didn't even bother to look at the attributes, the fifth-level opponent belonged to the kind of standing and letting the other party fight, and the other party couldn't break his defense.

This end was really faster, less than 20 seconds after the opening, and before he had time to play, the other party actually took the initiative to admit defeat.

[Joanna is a weak and timid little girl, after entering the arena, she was forced by your momentum, trembling, and learned that you had just killed the seven-game winning freshman Damian, and she was even more afraid of you, so she decisively admitted defeat. 】

[You have defeated Joanna (level 5), experience points +0, Red Rose Medal +1.] 】

"Still with a towel?"

Mu You was speechless, admitting defeat only had a medal reward, no experience reward, this wave of loss and death.

At the same time, he also understood, no wonder this group of newcomers had been in the dueling arena for more than 20 days, and there were still four or five level existences. These newcomers pecked at each other, and most of them were too weak to kill in five minutes.

Moreover, there is also a mechanism for admitting defeat. Wizards in the Astral Realm are different from players in that they have to endure the pain of death every time they die.

When most newcomers are low on health, their first choice is to throw in the towel rather than wait to be killed.

Therefore, even if these children pecked each other in the dueling arena for more than 20 days, they actually didn't get much experience at all, and it was much more difficult to level up than they imagined.

"It seems that opponents who are too low-level can't do it......"

Helpless, Mu You had to wait for the next one.

Soon the third game began, this time Mu You deliberately used the pocket watch to roll a few times, excluding a few below level 5, and finally matched a little boy with level 9.

[You entered the 'Dark Canyon' at the same time as your opponent......]

[The duel begins, and you charge at the other party for the first time......]

[You unleashed a strong wind blow, arcane missile, thunderball, and fire spell on your opponent......]

In order to prevent the other party from admitting defeat again, this time Mu You didn't leave his hand at all, and as soon as he entered the field, he exploded with all his strength, smashed out a magic spell, and directly completed the second kill before the other party reacted.

[You killed Pete (level 9), experience +18, Red Rose Medal +2.] 】

The third game was quite smooth, and then Mu You did the same, rolling opponents above level 7 in each game, and then bursting out to harvest experience.

Because he made his debut for the first time today, many people didn't have any information about him at all, and they didn't have any preparation, and the first nine games ended in uneventful victories.

All the way up to the tenth game.

【Match Successful!】 Your opponent in the 10th game is, 1st year: Webster (level 15 unevolved), current winning streak: 9. 】

"Level 15 ......"

Mu You's eyelids jumped.

How did such a high-end thing get mixed up in the novice field?

Hurriedly clicked to view the information.

It turned out that this person was similar to him, and he was also an auditor who joined the academy halfway, he was a wandering wizard before, and he was in his thirties, and he joined the academy mainly to buy evolution potions through the school's channels to break through the bottleneck.

This person's total attributes are slightly higher than Mu You's, and the magic he knows is estimated to be no less than him, and more importantly, he himself is not on the other side, but the game AI is controlling the duel, and most of them can't beat the other party.

However, the nine-game winning streak on this person made Mu You a little greedy, if he could defeat it, he would have ten medals in his account, which was equivalent to 20 years of life.

In the end, Mu You still started this battle, on the first day, he should try where the limit of his strength is, he has the Endless Technique, he has a clone, he has life absorption, and his ability to survive is not weak, and the other party may not be able to kill him in five minutes.

It's a pity that this one ended in Mu You's defeat.

He wasn't killed, but it was difficult for him to hurt the other party, and the spells were basically dodged by the other party, and when the five minutes arrived, it was judged according to the remaining life that the other party won.

Of course, this result is not absolute, a few more times, he also has a small chance to win, and the two sides will win or lose.

In the next dozen games, Mu You used his pocket watch to get rid of those opponents who were too low-level, and met two more than level 10 on the way, one at level 14 and one at level 12, and finally won and lost.

At 9:56 p.m., Mu You's challenge cooldown ended again, and before the duel arena closed, he clicked on the last match.

The dueling arena is said to be closed at ten o'clock, but it has already started before ten o'clock, and it will definitely let you finish the fight.

In the last game, it was just an ordinary eighth-level child, Mu You didn't leave his hand, and solved the other party cleanly.

In the end, after today's twenty-four duel battles, Mu You's record was 22 wins and 2 losses, ending a seven-game winning streak and a five-game winning streak on the way, and finally earning a total of 40 medals and 411 experience points.

And after this night's fight, he has already made an estimate of his strength: in addition to encountering those old fritters above level 12 who are relatively unstable, he can already be invincible in the novice field.

The strategy in the future is also simple.,Roll it out when you encounter a few who can't beat it.,Pick the 7-11 level to play.,Of course,If those high-level people have accumulated a high enough number of wins.,You can also try to play.,Lose but lose no less than a medal of income.,In case you win, it's a big profit.。

When the duel was over, the students went back to their homes and dispersed.

Mu You also manipulated the characters to leave the academy and went to Siye Street to find Silent Niang.

[When you come to Siye Street, where the original silent bookstore is located, you find that there is a lot of traffic here, people are buzzing, and the shops around are full of people coming and going. You've been looking around for a week, but you've never seen yesterday's quiet shop. 】

"What about people?"

Mu You looked confused, there was it yesterday, but it disappeared today, will this store fly or what?

At this time, he suddenly remembered the text description when he first met Jing Mo Niang yesterday: "Jing Mo Niang doesn't like hustle and bustle, and her shop will only be open in the dead of night." ”

The focus is on the words 'quiet in the dead of night', not only 'in the middle of the night' but also 'quiet', which are two different conditions.

Last time, it was because of the impact of the massive influx of fools caused this bustling street to be very deserted that night, and the Silent Bookstore only appeared once.

And now that Siye Street has returned to prosperity, Silent Niang has naturally entered the Shenyin again.

Thinking about this, Mu You immediately lit the pumpkin lantern and looked for it nearby with the lantern.

[Under the reflection of the cyan glow of the jack-o'-lantern, you see a deep alley appear on the originally closed wall between the two shops on the street. 】

[You walked along the alley, until you came to the end of the alley away from the sound of people, and finally in the corner in front of you, you saw the quiet little shop bathed in the moonlight. 】

[You enter the Silent Bookstore.] 】

[The cat lazily crouched on the front desk, raised its head to look at you, opened its mouth wide and yawned, and stopped paying attention to you. It seems to be a lot less wary of you. 】

[At the desk in the store, Silent Niang saw your arrival, closed the book in her hand, straightened her glasses, and held up the cardboard that had already been written to you. 】

["A very beautiful book, I haven't seen such a novel story for a long time."] ”】

["I don't know if there is a next volume? ”】

[Obviously, the book you gave away last time moved the other party, and the silent mother is addicted to the story in the book and takes the initiative to ask you for the follow-up part. 】

"Really addicted......"

Mu You was not surprised, he went to the study to pick up the second volume of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" and sent it to the game.

[Silent Niang took the brand new book you gave her, couldn't wait to open it, and released a translation spell on it. 】

[Seeing the story that is indeed connected to the previous book, Jing Mo Niang breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at you, held up the cardboard, and asked what you need today? 】

Three options: [Ask Questions], [Tutoring Magic], and [Level Up Magic].

"Ask questions."

Mu You first chose to ask a question, and then wrote in the pop-up input box: "How to enter the Silent Library." ’

[Silent Niang accepted your question and began to write on the cardboard......]

[A minute later, the other person holds up the cardboard.] 】

[The Red Rose Library has a total of sixteen floors, and the Silent Library, located on the '15th and 1/2nd floors', is a hidden mezzanine between the fifteenth and sixteenth floors, and is guarded by a large number of silent beasts, constantly shielding its location from being discovered by outsiders.

Silent Beasts are cursed ghostly creatures that turn anyone who tries to break into the library will be turned into a ghost. However, the Silent Beasts are also devout believers of the Moon God, and on each full moon night, the Silent Beasts will briefly leave the guard and gather on the rooftop of the library to pray for the full moon.

Therefore, the only time to enter the Silent Library is the night of the full moon every month.

The way to enter is to go five times clockwise at a normal pace in the cloister on the first floor of the library, then go to the second floor, go five times counterclockwise, then go to the third floor, continue clockwise, and counterclockwise on the fourth floor...... All the way up to the fifteenth floor.

All of these actions require the Silence Spell to silence all your voices.

If you do all this, when you go from the fifteenth floor to the sixteenth floor, you will find the entrance to the Silent Library. 】
