Chapter 52 Collaborative Assessment

Looking at the azure ball of light in her hand, the girl was slightly surprised, but she still accepted it.

When she was selecting and feeling it just now, she didn't have time to choose one by one from hundreds of light balls. In the end, she could only rely on some intuition, or simply the randomness of fate, to choose this light ball.

First, the rhythm and feeling conveyed in it made her feel more comfortable, and second, the color of the light ball was the azure color she liked.

However, when the light ball shattered and revealed the extraordinary creature inside, Heshia was still a little surprised.

In front of her was a small round-headed blue-scaled snake. It was about the length of the girl's arm, and its body was covered with blue and white scales.

If it was before, Heshia would definitely jump away in fear, after all, snakes are still a bit scary, but now that she has been in Butis's jungle room for a long time, she has adapted to it, and the one in front of her is still a non-venomous snake.

I hope it's not too stupid. Thinking of those stupid and disobedient guys in Butis's glass jungle, Heshia felt a little headache.

She reached out to the little blue and white snake. It spit out its tongue and felt the girl's fingertips, then slowly coiled around and let Heshia hold it in her hand. This guy has a round head and no venom glands. Upon closer inspection, it is quite cute.

"Please follow me, Heshia." A member in white uniforms led the girl to the side of the hall.

"Wow, that girl actually picked up the snake directly."

"What I want to ask is, they actually put snakes among the extraordinary creatures they prepared."

"What kind of snake is that? It looks pretty good."

As she walked into the empty hall, the voices behind her gradually weakened. Heshia came to the side of the hall and registered her identity and companions.

After filling in the information, Heshia walked out of the side door of the Xingtian Hall. According to the members in the academy just now, the re-examination students who obtained the "partner" have one hour to get familiar with the "partner".

"This is food for this little guy. You can use this to get familiar with it and do some simple training."

After walking out of the hall, a small paper bag and folded paper were handed to Heshia.

"Thank you." The girl took the bag of snacks marked for snakes and opened the folded paper.

The first part first described some precautions for getting along with "partners", and then there was a row of pre-set commands, such as "follow", "attack", "defense", "stop", "dodge", etc.

Each extraordinary creature has its own special ability. Whether it can be brought into play depends on their "bond" (ability).

Holding the bag of snacks, Heshia walked to the garden not far away, and then found a swing to sit on. Only then did she take a closer look at the little snake wrapped around her arm.

Evaluation: A low-level but rare subspecies of the Mori King Snake, whose body color is closer to the bright blue of the sky. It is said that it can even gain the ability to fly after advancing to a high level.

A very sunny snake, it is totally out of tune with its kind. The girl felt the rhythm of this snake, and then combined with the information she searched on the Star Network, analyzed the above data.

Touching the little guy's head with her hand, Heshia closed her eyes and slowly sensed the other party's emotions and consciousness.

After she advanced to the Withering Sequence 3: Listening to the Heart, her previous perception ability not only improved greatly, but also improved many shortcomings. She integrated her own singing talent into it and gained the ability to listen to the emotions and simple voices of other creatures.

Although she couldn't read minds, it was easy for her to tell lies, feel emotions and moods, and even to perceive the rhythm of the other party's extraordinary core and analyze the abilities and brand patterns engraved in it.

"This guy is a little shy."

The girl slowly opened her eyes, looked at the snake head that was raised and looking around, gently stroked it, and then took out a small piece of food and placed it in front of the snake head.

The brown piece of meat was touched by the letter, and then it opened its mouth and slowly swallowed it.

After eating a few pieces, the little guy coiled up his body, as if he wanted to take a nap.

Considering that the data showed that this was a sun-loving daylight snake, Heshia moved it to the left arm and wrist so that it could get sun.

Carefully feeling the breathing and blood flow of the little snake, a wonderful feeling slowly emerged in Heshia's heart. This was the first time she felt the activities of other lives so clearly, like listening to the music of life. Although it was not gorgeous, it was so real.

After a long time, the little snake woke up, raised its head and looked around, as if looking for the existence that approached it in the dream just now, until it looked at the pair of light blue eyes, and the man and the snake looked at each other.

As if the circuit was connected, Heshia could briefly feel everything that the little snake in front of her felt, such as the warmth of the sun shining on its scales, the softness of the fabric of the clothes, the body temperature of the girl in front of her, and the pupils and face looking at her...

This state only lasted for a few seconds before it ended, and Heshia was also surprised to recall and experience.

Perhaps this is the essence of the singer's talent, soul sync, true empathy, so as to break through the barriers between hearts.

Time passed slowly, in this warm garden, the swing occasionally floated up and down, carrying long hair and skirts.

An hour of familiar rest time ended.

After receiving the notification on the personal terminal, Heshia took the indigo snake out of the garden and went to the assessment site. The location of the first level had been sent to her.

This is an open grassland, but it was temporarily transformed into a retest site, where various obstacles were arranged, including water flows that needed to be crossed, wooden stakes that needed to be jumped over, tunnels that needed to be passed through, rotating windmill blades that needed to be dodged, etc.

"The first level of the test is very simple. Just take your companions through it. During the period, you can only use voice commands and communication. You cannot directly take your companions through. How to make your companions follow you all the time and cooperate to open the checkpoints depends on your tacit understanding and connection."

After the introduction, the student union cadre made way for the passage behind him and let the students who participated in the retest enter one by one.

"It's a very simple process, and it's within my expectations." Some students began to discuss. Everyone had expected this, and this was probably just the beginning of the warm-up.

However, is it really that simple? Soon after the first student entered the venue, he faced a severe test.

"Xiao Hei, hurry up!" The first student who got a partner took the wolf cub through various obstacles.

At first, it was smooth, but when it came to a project that required constant dodging and jumping, the student passed it with concentration. When he reached a safe position and looked back, the wolf cub had already fallen into the water and floated away.

Although I don’t know what the impact will be if I don’t pass the level with my "companion", since the theme is "bond", this kind of thing is definitely not allowed to happen.

The student had to jump into the water, swim to his partner and pick him up, and then the two started again from the starting point.

With this demonstration, the students behind him also became more careful and always paid attention to whether their partners were with them.

In the later stages, the students in the front could not see it, and could only experience it when they entered the venue.

Soon, it was Heshia's turn.

"Is it a snake? It may be a little difficult for you." The staff registered.

"Why?" Heshia asked curiously.

"Among these animals, mammals have the highest IQ and are the easiest to tame and obey orders, so it will be much easier."

"But you don't have to be too discouraged. Compared with ordinary creatures, extraordinary creatures have much higher IQs, so it's not completely hopeless." After a few words of comfort, he let Heshia enter.

The test of passing the adventure began.

First, there was a flat grassland. Heshia walked half a body length in front, guiding the little guy beside her to follow her.

Unlike those students who shouted their names to give orders, Heshia hardly spoke in the middle. One person and one snake moved forward quietly, walking across the grassland, jumping over the horizontal plank stairs, and stepping on the wooden stakes on the water to avoid the fan blades.

It didn't seem difficult. The girl jumped down from the stairs lightly, and the indigo snake also slid down around the guardrail and landed beside the girl.

At the last stage, a gauze net separated the two paths. Heshia's side was flat and simple, while the animal companion's side was complicated and bumpy. Generally speaking, the retest students needed to constantly give orders and communicate in order to let the "companion" avoid the wrong direction and bypass the mechanism, and finally pass.

At this time, the difficulty gradually increased. In an hour, some students were able to command these animals with preset commands, but there were still many students who could not do it. They could only stand there anxiously, constantly giving orders, while their "companions" were confused and hesitant.

"You still don't have patience." On the high stands, several senior students looked down.

"Yes, many people are not used to living with different companions. When the other party cannot quickly understand their orders, they get angry and angry, but this is essentially a kind of impotent rage."

"The real strong ones can understand this difference and find ways to make up for it without caring, and let the people around them catch up."

"This is still an animal that is relatively easy to tame and get along with. If it is a human, then don't count on it."

Below, Heshia led her "companion" to easily cross various obstacles. Thanks to her own talent, she rarely spoke. Sometimes, she only needed to point her finger, and the little snake would know the general meaning, so it passed easily.

"Yes, that's the right direction. Pull the wrench down."

Standing in front of the closed stone door, Heshia commanded the little snake in the distance to pull down a conspicuous wrench switch. Then the stone door lifted up, and the end of the first level was reached.

"Congratulations, Heshia~" The staff inside welcomed, and then asked Heshia to continue to register and fill in the form.

After a simple warm-up level, one-fifth of the students were eliminated, and the real assessment gradually began.

"Second level, defeat the phantom rat."

As the voice fell, two huge gray-white rats were released in the field below, and the students could not leave the field. They needed to rely on command to let their "companions" fight one against two and defeat the enemy.

The battle began.

In the field, the dark blue young wolf bared its teeth and confronted the two opponents, tense and testing each other.

In terms of strength alone, the original sequence 2 phantom rat (standard copper) is definitely not as good as these carefully cultivated "partners", but under the numerical disadvantage of two enemies, how to rely on wisdom and communication to let the "companion" win is a place worth testing.

"Run!" The student in front began to give the first order.

After the previous familiarization and the first level, the relationship between the two was already very familiar. After receiving the order, the wolf cub immediately ran. It was the turn of the two phantom rats to hesitate, but after all, they had been hungry for too long, and they could not bear to let go of the prey in front of them, so they also ran and moved.

The gray hair spread out, and the two phantom rats in the field of vision suddenly became several times larger, and then pounced on the running wolf cub.

This is the ability of the phantom rat, using illusions to confuse and intimidate the opponent, making it afraid, and at the same time facilitating its own actions.

Although the students above knew that this was an illusion, the wolf cub below did not understand. In its eyes, these were two huge monsters that it could not resist, so it whimpered and fled to the corner in panic, even bumping its head against the wall.

"Stupid!"

Seeing the wolf cub below panicking, the students above were very angry. After all, as long as the phantom rat could see through its illusion, it would be similar to an ordinary big rat, and there was not much threat.

"Woo-woo--" The wolf cub below didn't understand, and continued to flee on the grass with its limbs scrabbling, even trying to hide in the hole at the entrance.

Seeing its butt facing outwards and its limbs digging in the soil, the students above couldn't help but cover their faces, feeling deeply ashamed.

Perhaps it was because he gave up on himself, or perhaps he couldn't help it, he roared again.

"Idiot, turn around and bite, don't you find that they make very little sound when they run, that's fake!"

Although he told the truth, these "companion" animals had not received such complex language training before, and only understood some simple commands. However, the dissatisfaction and anger in the roar finally made the wolf cub react a little. It turned its head with some fear and grievance, its hair standing up, and looked at the two approaching "giant" rats.

Facing this young wolf with bared teeth, the two phantom rats also hesitated and did not rush directly, and the two sides began to confront each other again.

After a roar and hiss, the young wolf regained some confidence when the two big rats did not rush forward. When the student above shouted "Attack" for the seventh time, he finally rushed forward.

There was a burst of flying hair and screaming, and the bite after getting close immediately made the illusion unable to support it. The scene after the wolf appeared gave the wolf cub confidence. In the last tearing and biting, the two phantom rats were killed in the venue.

"O'Connor, passed!" The staff outside the venue blew the whistle, and the first student who passed the second level appeared.

Thanks to Archbishop Lilina, the Nameless One, Yinfeng Tingxue, Xianyu Cuisine, Qingqiangfeng, Ni Desu, and the Subspace Stars Shine for the rewards~
