Soon, the preliminaries were over, and Chi Lin passed the preliminaries smoothly.

And the elimination rate of this preliminaries is also extremely terrifying, in order to compete for the three peripheral seats, there are tens of thousands of casters, not to mention tens of thousands, but after this round, they are directly eliminated to only five hundred!

Chi Lin's results were really not very good, and even the results outside the four hundred narrowly passed the preliminaries, which made the people who supported Chi Lin pinch a cold sweat, but Chi Lin was not panicked at all.

This was all something I expected, but I didn't expect the first round of the preliminaries to be so cruel, and most of them were directly eliminated.

At this time, he was dissatisfied with the gods and began to make trouble: "If I don't accept it, I will be eliminated if it explodes, I am just not familiar with the characteristics of these materials, if I am given another chance, I will definitely be able to get better results." ”

It's just a pity that a god referee on the referee's bench said mercilessly: "The most basic requirement of a foundry is to be cautious, if you use the most precious materials for casting, often these casting materials will not have a chance for you to conduct an experiment, everything needs to rely on your own caution and experience to judge, since the material exploded, it can only prove that you are not cautious enough, this ordinary material is still so, if it is a precious material, more material combinations, what will happen, do you need to say more?" ”

Suddenly, the eliminated casters were speechless, yes, the casting of the foundry often will not have a second chance, success is famous all over the world, failure is discredited, this is a common thing, so they cast failure, there will be no chance to give them another chance to try again.

But they had nothing to say, but the few foundries who had just been ranked outside the top five hundred felt unfair to themselves.

"Why are we just a little bit behind, almost no gap, some people can make the cut, but we can't? And just one game eliminated us like this, this is not my field at all, it's not fair, it's so unfair!"

The same referee explained: "It's not fair, I won't say anything, even if you are not good at this assessment, right, but your individual ranking is outside the five hundred, even if you are given the opportunity and you succeed, our Celestial Casting Alliance is embarrassed to ask a caster with a single ranking of more than five hundred to join, right? ”

Yes, with such a ranking, the Heavenly God Casting Alliance doesn't want you, and it's just that you don't want to be embarrassed, so it's no wonder that others.

Chi Lin looked at those indignant foundries, and sighed in his heart, this caster also depends on talent, among these eliminated casters, perhaps some have been painstakingly studied for millions of years, tens of millions of years, or even hundreds of millions of years.

But this world is so unfair, they have been eliminated, and a foundry like Chi Lin, who is younger than anyone present, has been promoted.

Chi Lin clearly understands that his weakness lies in the background, he does not have the countless experience they have accumulated, and the research on foundry is definitely not the opponent of those old monsters who specialize in studying I don't know how many years.

Of course, Chi Lin also has an advantage, that is, in terms of skills and control, no one can match, and this kind of competition is to assess the competition to join the peripheral members of the Heavenly God Casting Alliance, and what is needed is a caster with real casting skills, so it is too strange to assess, it is impossible to appear, so Chi Lin is still not so worried.

And the second round of tests is even more bizarre.

I saw rows of maids, holding artifacts one by one, walking in front of everyone, a total of five hundred maids, each maid in their hands, there are two artifacts, one intact and one damaged, but the two artifacts are the same artifact to each other.

At this time, one of the referees said loudly: " There are five hundred pairs of intact and damaged artifacts, and then everyone selects a pair of artifacts according to the ranking order of the preliminaries, and then ten kinds of materials will be given, and then the requirement is to use these ten materials, repair the damaged artifacts to the extent of intact artifacts, and according to the integrity of the artifact and the value of the materials consumed, to comprehensively judge the results, each material has its own mark, once used, no matter how much is used, it will be calculated according to the full price, so it should be used carefully, and the first caster in the preliminaries will start to select！”

The requirements are very simple, because the five hundred casters present all have the ability to repair this broken artifact, but there are only ten kinds of materials, and the price is different, and once the use is wrong, if you want to change the material, you can also calculate the full value of the material, it can be said that this is a great test of a caster's utilization rate of materials when repairing an artifact.

Of course, the more top-ranked casters also have an advantage, because they can choose the artifact they are good at casting and the artifact with a relatively small degree of damage, after all, the attack artifact and the defensive artifact are not the same, which is an advantage, but this advantage makes many forgers with hidden strength speechless, because this is a game that is not absolutely fair.

Soon, everyone picked out the materials they wanted to repair.

And Chi Lin also chose an artifact, the core of a god-level puppet, which is the most core and most sophisticated part of a puppet, and it is extremely difficult to repair it if it is damaged, because although it is inconspicuous, it is an extremely precise thing.

"Chi Lin, how did you choose this?" Even if Oni-san is not a foundry, at least she still has an eye for the good and bad of things, and she clearly sees the ridicule of other foundries, this puppet core is undoubtedly the most complex and difficult artifact to repair.

Chi Lin smiled: "Have you forgotten what I'm best at? It's control, no matter how precise it is, can it be difficult to defeat me? I don't worry about these at all, and although this puppet core is the most sophisticated artifact, there is no doubt that if you want to repair it, the materials consumed are definitely the least, and I only need two copies of the lowest value materials to be able to repair it!"

Chi Lin easily began to repair this puppet core, it is true that its repair is relatively more difficult, but it only needs two materials to be repaired, which is also an advantage.

After a while, Chi Lin finished repairing the puppet core, which was exactly the same in appearance, and there were no traces of repair at all, and the repaired puppet core was almost indistinguishable from the intact state.

Soon, this second round of the competition ended, and the judging stage.

The judging is open, and this round only selects casters who meet the conditions, so how many people advance, not the key, if it's not good, no one can be promoted, if it can, everyone can be promoted, as long as they can meet the criteria in the judges' hearts.

In front of the first caster, this is the first place in the preliminaries, even if many casters have reservations, but to get the first place, it is enough to see the extraordinary casting skills.

I saw a foundry pick up an artifact long sword that he had repaired, and then said unexpectedly: "Huh, in addition to repairing this top-level micro artifact, it is also twice as sharp, so that it can burst out with more powerful power, amazing, only ten kinds of repair materials, it can actually do this step, amazing." ”

The foundry was also proud: "Yes, I am very confident in my casting skills. ”

Putting the sword down, the forger said lightly, "You can go, eliminate!" ”

"Wait, wait! I heard you right, did I? I not only repaired this artifact, but also increased its power so much, what reason is there to be eliminated, why did you eliminate me?" The man didn't do it: "I'm number one!"

"Are you asking me to say you're stupid or an idiot?" said the referee mercilessly, "Who are we? Foundry? Didn't you hear what the request was? Fix it, fix it! What are you strengthening for? Is there a request for reinforcement?"

"But these ten materials are enough for me to strengthen this artifact, is this also wrong?" the man was still unconvinced.

At this time, Brico stepped forward, and then asked: "Are you really qualified to claim to be a foundry? Our Celestial Casting Alliance doesn't need a person like you, if a god asks you to repair his artifact, and you repair and strengthen it, then this enhancement is given to him by you for free? I don't think as a foundry, you won't do such a stupid loss-making thing, right? But if you charge for the cost of strengthening, the original meaning of the people is that they want you to repair it, and they don't want you to strengthen it, you have to charge another fee, what is the difference between it and forcing you to buy and sell? We, the Celestial Forge Alliance, value reputation the most, and we will never allow such a situation to happen!"

As he spoke, Brico asked, "You say, if we don't eliminate you, who else will we eliminate?" Don't think that if you are the first in the preliminaries, we will not eliminate you, the 'firsts' eliminated by our Heavenly God Casting Alliance are simply countless!"

Chi Linxiao watched all this happen, all superfluous actions in this game are not feasible, and his own smart behavior will provoke a stupid name.

"Anyone who has strengthened the restored artifact, please leave the scene so that Lang doesn't waste our time. Brico smiled at everyone present.

Suddenly, many foundries, although unwilling, still left their respective casting tables.

At this moment, there were hundreds of foundries left, and the opportunistic tricks failed, but made jokes.

And then, under the continued judging, many people were quickly eliminated again, and there were only eighty-seven people left who could enter the third round, of course, one of them was Chi Lin's part, and the puppet core he repaired, without surprise, actually won the highest evaluation, and then in this round, Chi Lin occupied the first place.

"You foundries can have a day's rest, tomorrow's competition will be a day, and then the final ten people will be selected to participate in the final finals, and this time although it is said that three people will be selected to become peripheral members of our Celestial Forge Alliance, but if it is the one who wins the first place, they will receive a mysterious reward, so you can work hard!" said Brico to the remaining eighty-seven people.
