Hearing Li Kun say this, Lang Tao thought that Li Kun had rejected his invitation, and his face showed a slight look of disappointment, and said: "Brother, don't look at the small number of people in our team, although the overall strength is not as good as those big teams, our personal strength is really strong, and there are few constraints within the group, and it is easy to coordinate activities in the team, whether it is a treasure hunt or a retreat, it has an incomparable advantage for a large team." ”

Li Kun hurriedly said: "Brother Lang misunderstood, it's not that I don't want to go to your team, but I'm afraid I won't be able to meet your requirements." ”

Lang Tao grinned and said indifferently: "It doesn't matter, even if you really can't become a team member, you can become friends in the future." ”

Lang Tao said, patted Li Kun's shoulder again, and said, "Brother is still young, and the future is promising." ”

The tone sounded like a twilight of life.

Li Kun couldn't help laughing and said, "Brother Lang is not a few years older than me, but Xiuwei is far from being comparable to my younger brother." Brother Lang's future is really limitless. ”

Lang Tao smiled heartily, pushed the other pot of wine in front of Li Kun proudly, and said, "Brother, don't say anything, drink." ”

Li Kun also grabbed the wine jug quite refreshingly, raised his neck and drank it.

Who knows, the wine was extremely spicy, and Li Kun choked and coughed as soon as he took a sip.

Lang Tao looked at Li Kun in surprise, waited for him to stop coughing, and hurriedly asked, "Brother doesn't know how to drink?"

Li Kun choked so much that tears came out, and he was embarrassed to wipe away his tears, and smiled awkwardly: "Let Brother Lang see you laugh, this is the first time that the little brother has drunk." I didn't expect this wine to smell so good, and it was so spicy in the mouth!"

Lang Tao couldn't help laughing.

Li Kun was embarrassed, hesitated slightly, and then grabbed the wine jug, turned his heart sideways, and drank the wine in one go.

This time, Li Kun was prepared, although his throat was extremely uncomfortable, like swallowing a fire snake, there was a strong burning feeling. But I didn't choke on it.

Lang Tao obviously didn't expect Li Kun to be like this. After all, he was a man from the past, and he knew what it was like to drink for the first time. That's really uncomfortable. He was forced to drink in the first place.

Lang Tao was stunned for a while before asking, "Since it's uncomfortable, why do you still want to drink?" I didn't force you. ”

Li Kun wiped the corners of his mouth, endured the discomfort, and said, "Brother Lang can afford me and invite me to drink, how can you resign?"

Lang Tao blinked his eyes and looked at Li Kun fixedly.

Li Kun was inexplicably looked at by him, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with Brother Lang?"

Lang Tao nodded and said seriously: "Brother, if you need help in the future, just come to me." No matter what the test results are tomorrow, whether you can be a teammate or not, I have made up your friends. ”

Li Kun was also moved, and said very simply: "Okay!"

After that, the two had nothing to say goodbye to, and said goodbye.

The next day, Li Kun came to the service hall early.

The service hall was already crowded, and everyone seemed quite excited. Li Kun had never seen such a fiery scene, and he was in a trance, followed everyone closely, and walked towards the test area in an orderly manner under the maintenance of the staff.

The testing area is in the innermost part of the hall, and it is a separate hall, which is even larger than the office hall outside.

In the center of the testing hall there was a platform about five meters high, about five hundred square meters in size, and the platform was empty and empty. And immediately below the high platform, there is an independent space enclosed by a half-height fence, about 500 square meters in size, and I don't know what it does.

At this time, nearly 10,000 people had poured into the testing hall and stood in an orderly manner around the high platform.

Could it be that the high platform is used for testing? Li Kun was thinking dizzily when someone suddenly slapped him from behind, and he hurriedly turned around to see that it was Lang Tao.

"Morning, brother. Lang Tao greeted with a smile.

"What a coincidence! Brother Lang is early. Li Kun was quite surprised, and hurriedly greeted.

Lang Tao smiled and said: "It's not a coincidence, I came a long time ago, waiting at the door, and you will naturally see it as soon as you come in." ”

He came to me on purpose!

Li Kun was both surprised and inevitably a little moved, but he didn't say anything, just glanced at Lang Tao deeply.

Lang Tao grinned and joked: "Don't be moved, otherwise it will be weird." ”

Li Kun also smiled, then changed the topic and sighed: "Why are there so many people?"

Lang Tao pulled Li Kun and walked to the side, saying as he walked: "It's still early for the test, it's too noisy here, let's go to the side and rest for a while." ”

Li Kun actually knew that there was still about an hour and a half before the test time of the notification. It was still early, and he didn't know how to pass the time. Now that Lang Tao is here, he will not be bored, and he can also take the opportunity to ask him about the test. Obviously, today's hot scene was a bit unexpected for him, and he was a little confused.

Li Kun followed Lang Tao to the edge of the hall, although he was still in the hall, it was obviously much quieter.

"Why are there so many people?" Li Kun sighed again.

Lang Tao said: "Actually, there are not many newcomers who have really participated in the test, I have already learned about it, it seems that there are only more than 500 people. The rest were all members of the Loose Order. ”

Li Kun immediately understood, and it was no wonder that the Scattered Cultivation Group wanted to recruit newcomers to expand its strength, so it would naturally come to pay attention to the test of newcomers.

As a result, Li Kun will inevitably be a little nervous. Although he doesn't particularly care about other people's eyes, he is a teenager after all, and he will inevitably have some competitive vanity. He doesn't want to be so good, but he also doesn't want to be too ugly. At the very least, it has to be passable.

In order to hide his uneasiness, Li Kun said without words: "There is still almost an hour and a half before the test begins, and these people from the Scattered Cultivation Group are too early, right? Are they even more excited than the newcomers?"

Lang Tao said: "Brother doesn't know, this would not be like this in the past, but this time it is because the training conference will be held next month, and there will undoubtedly be more newcomers than usual during this period, and there is no shortage of outstanding strength." And for the sake of the secret realm training that is about to begin, the various scattered cultivation groups will naturally try their best to recruit newcomers with outstanding strength. So, it's quite normal for such fiery scenes to occur. ”

Li Kun nodded knowingly.

Lang Tao said: "Before the official test, there will be a half-hour demonstration of the scattered cultivation group. When the time comes, you can see that they are working very hard to attract newcomers. ”

Li Kun exclaimed: "There are so many scattered cultivation groups, is half an hour enough? I heard Sister Lanzhi say that there are only one hundred and twenty-eight scattered cultivation groups registered on the register, not counting the scattered cultivation groups like you who are not on the roster. ”

Lang Tao said: "You think too much, not all the scattered cults are qualified to go on stage to perform, only the top ten scattered cults are qualified to go on stage. Other registered monastic orders can only be recruited by the moderator. Naturally, a loose cult like ours that is not registered will not be able to get on the stage. Moreover, we can only recruit new people privately. ”

Li Kun couldn't help but sigh: "So, the people outside the registration department for yesterday's event were all from the unregistered Loose Cultivation Group?"

Lang Tao said: "Not necessarily, but the vast majority are." ”

Li Kun asked curiously, "Then how is the ranking of the registered Scattered Cultivation Group arranged?"

Lang Tao introduced: "Of course, it depends on the comprehensive strength of the members. Sister Laneige should have introduced you yesterday, and the number of registered members of the Loose Cult needs to be at least 1,000. For the sake of fairness, the overall strength of the team is calculated by the number of people in each team. Therefore, in the top-ranked Loose Cultivator Sect, there are at least a thousand Loose Cultivators with extremely good strength. This is also the reason why the major loose cults attach importance to the open recruitment of new people. Because, the addition of powerful newcomers will directly affect their ranking. ”

Li Kun nodded, and then asked, "I feel from Sister Lanzhi that the service department is quite repulsive to the team of loose cultivators who are not registered, what is the main reason for this?"

Lang Tao sneered rarely, and said, "It's not because of interests. Registered teams of assortes pay an annual administration fee to the Service Department, whereas there is no management fee for a group like ours. ”

"Oh, no wonder. Li Kun finally understood the problem.

Lang Tao complained again: "Actually, all of our casual cultivators, regardless of whether they join the team or not, have to pay an additional resource consumption fee per capitation when they enter the open area. ”

Li Kun said: "I already know this. ”

Lang Tao took the opportunity to say: "However, brother, don't worry, if you join our team, the resource consumption fee is not a problem at all, and we make a lot of money from treasure hunting." Even the No. 1 Scattered Cultivator can't compare with us. ”

Li Kun smiled bitterly, nodded noncommittally, but said in his heart: "Then it depends on whether I am qualified to join." ”

Lang Tao saw that Li Kun still didn't express his position, but he didn't show his unhappiness.

Li Kun suddenly remembered a question again, and asked anxiously: "What if there is a newcomer with very poor strength and there is no team of loose cultivators?"

Lang Tao said: "Don't worry about this, for those newcomers who don't have a team, the service department will forcibly deploy according to the proportion of the number of people planned to be recruited by each team." ”

Li Kun dispelled this concern, but he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "If that's the case, I'm afraid it's very shameless to enter the team." Let's hope I don't have that. ”

At this moment, the sound of the radio suddenly remembered in the hall-

"Please be quiet and be sure to follow the hall discipline, our rookie test will begin in an hour. This will be followed by a demonstration of the top 10 teams of assanites. Please follow the moderator's arrangement. ”

As soon as the broadcast ended, Li Kun suddenly felt a strong sense of coercion in the hall.
