"You really don't know any information." The boy said with amusement while keeping an eye on the surroundings and watching Ruo Manni busy climbing up and down.
"My focus before was on mecha manufacturing. Before today, apart from killing monsters in the game, I had no practical experience. Fortunately, you didn't kill me at the beginning of the assessment, otherwise I would never have escaped." Ruo Manni also looked innocent.
"Add me as a friend. Our team is in need of a mecha maker. We can play games and competitions together in the future."
"Yeah!" Ruo Manni had no objection.
This boy was the most capable of all the candidates. If he could make it to the end, then we would be classmates in the future. If not, then we could just team up and play a game together online.
However, after adding him as a friend, Ruo Manni felt like laughing. Although this boy was a warrior, he not only did not have the toughness that warriors usually had, but instead he vaguely revealed the elegance of a rich young man, but his online name was Neptune.
Ruo Manni thought about her impression of Neptune in the solar system. It was a dark, icy and desolate world, which had nothing to do with elegance, and even less with youth.
"Don't like mecha?" Neptune thought, with a smile in his tone: "That's the opposite."
“I was too young back then.” Ruo Manni said helplessly.
Can she say that she is not the second-year student? Unfortunately, if she wants to change her online name, she has to upload all kinds of real identity information to apply, which is a bit troublesome. She thought that she should not be too ruthless and should leave some traces of the original owner, so she kept this online name.
"That's fine too." Neptune said with a smile, "It's just an online name, just be happy."
Just as he finished speaking, his momentum suddenly changed, and he gestured to Ruo Manni, who immediately hid.
Ruo Manni, a late-stage third-level warrior, didn't have much understanding of the strength of a late-stage fourth-level warrior, but she still felt that Neptune's perception was unexpectedly sharp.
After she formed an alliance with Neptune, in order to reduce the consumption of mental energy, the range of her telekinesis was greatly reduced, and she only sensed that a candidate was approaching two seconds in advance.
There was only one candidate who approached. Although her martial arts level could not be seen, Manni could feel that the opponent's momentum was not as good as Neptune's, so she did not warn him. However, Neptune also felt the enemy attack only two seconds later than her.
Noticing an opponent approaching, Neptune rushed over without hesitation. In just a few minutes, the stick in Neptune's hand hit the opponent's chest card, turning the opponent into a meteor, and his score increased by more than 500 points.
"This year, there are only four late-level four warriors among the Xuan Gu candidates, and more than a thousand mid-level four candidates. This boy is a mid-level four warrior, and his points are too few." Neptune said.
The candidate who could still stay at this time must have thousands of points. This candidate was probably very good at hiding. No one knew why he suddenly pounced on them. Was he looking for death?
After the two formed a team, because Romanni was afraid that she had consumed too much mental energy and would not be able to sustain it, Neptune suggested that he should lead the battle while she would fight on the side and help him when there was danger.
Ruo Manni knew that the battle mode proposed by Neptune was beneficial to her but not to him.
Not only will this consume a lot of energy for him, but he will also probably be fighting a losing battle with his opponent. If Manny assists in the kill, the final points will go to her, and he will get nothing.
Ruo Manni didn't know why Neptune was so nice to her, but because she didn't know what kind of items would be included in the combat assessment, the best option was to preserve her strength as much as possible, so she had no choice but to accept the offer.
Anyway, if they could become classmates in the future, she would definitely repay his kindness.
"We are not short of points now. As long as we can hold on to the end, we can get by for a while." Neptune said.
It is easy to hide in the woods. Not to mention that Romanny's perception is not comparable to that of ordinary warriors, Neptune's perception ability is also super strong. It is actually very easy to avoid confrontation with other players.
With the mentality of compromising, they avoided the contestants as much as possible and did not encounter any contestants for more than half an hour.
I have to say that this method is very good. When there are no enemies, Neptune is on guard. Ruo Manni tries to close her eyes and rest, which allows her mental strength to recover faster than naturally.
But the good times didn't last long. When Ruo Manni "scanned" her surroundings and closed her eyes to rest again, she suddenly felt a slight fluctuation in the entire cyberspace. She looked at Neptune, but he didn't move, so he probably didn't notice.
Ruo Manni was sure that her feeling was correct. She looked around carefully and her eyes suddenly focused.
"What's the matter?" Neptune asked vigilantly. The change in his friend's expression was so obvious that it was difficult for Neptune not to notice.
"There's something wrong with the woods over there. The big tree where I left a mark has disappeared." The ignorant Ruo Manni said with some confusion.
But the knowledgeable Neptune understood what was going on as soon as he heard it. He jumped up quickly and said, "Oh no, the map is switching. The map we are on is shrinking."
Ruo Manni, who didn't know much about the combat routine, looked at Neptune with a question mark face.
Neptune explained helplessly, "It's probably because too many people were eliminated and the map was too wide. In order to reduce the time for candidates to search for opponents, the assessment committee cut off a part of the map where there were no people, so..."
Neptune didn't finish his words, but the two knew the consequences of this, because several candidates suddenly appeared around them, and those candidates were confused for two seconds before they reacted.
Skynet's move ruined Romannie and Neptune's plan to buy time and maintain their strength, and they had to face wave after wave of opponents.
Only then did Ruo Manni realize that Neptune was very strong, and the wooden stick in his hand was very smooth. In addition, the level of the candidates he met was not as high as his. Even when facing three candidates in the middle stage of the fourth level of warriors, his momentum was not weak. After fighting for more than a hundred moves, he hit the opponent's chest card and eliminated the opponent.
Ruo Manni was glad that they had not encountered an opponent with the same level of cultivation as Neptune, so even though sometimes they would face five or six opponents, Neptune's momentum of fighting a hundred alone attracted the attention of the examinees, and Ruo Manni's sneak attack success rate was very high.
Ruo Manni no longer cared about conserving his strength. With her help, Neptune avoided the crisis of a protracted war and greatly preserved his physical strength.
As a result, the situation of the two people suddenly turned around, and it became that Ruo Manni's mental power was consumed too much.
However, after many times of cooperation, Ruo Manni had basic trust in Neptune. Once she found that there were no opponents around, she would let Neptune act as a guard while she sat down, closed her eyes and rested her mental strength.
