[Endless Killing: My fireball has a bug! – Chapter 730 This Welfare Bureau! (2/2)]

Lin Chuan could sense that the principal had been talking for so long just to pave the way for this last sentence.

Qin Zhiyi frowned after hearing this: “What do you mean? I became a student of Benyuan College, but I can’t participate in the college league?”

“No, no, no, of course not!” Fu Ling shook his head and explained, “What I mean is–“

“You should also know——”

“In the college league, today is the tryout round, and tomorrow is the final.”

“As for the final places for Hongen College, some of them are ‘predetermined’ based on the students’ usual performance.”

“And I’m afraid you won’t be able to enjoy this ‘pre-selected’ spot…”

Qin Zhiyi quickly reacted after hearing this: “It means…”

“We have to participate in the tryouts today?”

Fu Ling nodded: “Yes.”

However, Lin Chuan was puzzled: “But doesn’t the selection competition have a fixed start time? Have we missed the start time?”

Not only did they miss the start time of the exam, they also saw through the live broadcast what kind of monsters were on the first seven floors of the selection trial tower.

This situation is equivalent to not only being late for the college entrance examination, but also reading most of the exam questions in advance.

In this situation, how can I participate in the selection?

Fu Ling further explained: “The selection for the Trial Tower is for cities outside the central area.”

“In the Central District, the selection process for Origin College and Daqian College is different.”

“Oh…” Lin Chuan nodded suddenly.

Yes, Hongen College and Daqian College can even take over the internal appointment quota.

Therefore, it is normal that the selection methods of these two schools are different from those of other districts.

“So the selections for these two schools haven’t started yet? Or is there no limit on the start time?”

Fu Ling smiled and explained, “The selection of the two colleges in the central area is not a trial tower mode, but an arena mode. In this mode, only the end time is set, and there is no limit on the start time.”

“But just like a long-distance race, the one who starts first will naturally have some advantages.”

“You have already wasted a lot of time compared to others. So…”

Fu Ling looked at Lin Chuan and Qin Zhiyi and said, “Should I take you to the central district selection as soon as possible?”

Lin Chuan and Qin Zhiying had no objection and nodded in agreement.

So Fu Ling took the two of them into an empty training room.

There are several tall devices similar to ATM machines in the training room.

Qin Zhiyu was very familiar with this kind of equipment and could operate it without being taught.

Fu Ling considered that Lin Chuan was an outsider, so he pointed out the card slot on the device and introduced it to him:

“Insert the student card I just issued to you here, then use your hands to manipulate the screen and select ‘Selection Arena’ to enter.”

“In the ‘Selection Arena’, you will be automatically assigned an opponent to compete in the competition. The competition system will then give a comprehensive score based on the performance of both parties in the competition.”

“At the same time, there is a ranking in the arena, which is calculated based on each person’s overall rating divided by the number of games played.”

“That is to say, the more matches you play, the higher your ranking will be.”

“It’s that you need to perform well in every game to get a high ranking in the arena.”

“Generally speaking, at the end of the arena selection, the top 2,000 students will qualify for the finals the next day.”

“However, if the number of finalists in the Trial Tower selection in the outer regions does not exceed 2,000, some places will be allocated to the central region.”

“For example, there are only 1,800 students from the outer district who have passed the tenth floor of the Trial Tower. In the central district, there are 2,200 students who have passed the arena rankings.”

“This shouldn’t be hard to understand, right?”

Lin Chuan nodded. It was not difficult to understand. However, he asked again: “Who is the competition against?”

“And the students from the Central District. That is, the students from Hongen College and Daqian College who need to compete for the finals.”

“Also, sometimes, some talented students who have already secured a place will enter the selection arena and cause chaos.”

These rules actually have no meaning to Lin Chuan.

After all, whether students have been offered a job or not, they are all the same to him.

However, he was still a little curious: “According to what you said, the competition is a melee between students from Daqian College and Benyuan College…”

“Then is it possible that students will deliberately let their opponents down when playing against students from the same school in order to help them get higher scores?”

Fu Ling pursed his lips and nodded with a heavy face: “The situation you described does exist in the arena selection.”

“It is precisely because of this phenomenon that the number of students selected from Daqian Academy far exceeds that of Benyuan Academy in the 2,000 places selected in the Central District every year.”

The air was quiet for a moment, and Fu Ling smiled again, pretending to be relaxed and said: “But it’s not a big problem.”

“In fact, the students who can compete for the top ten in the finals are basically the students who have already been selected by Daqian College and Benyuan College.”

“And the students who need to be selected are basically just there to run along.”

“So some targeting and slacking in the competition will not affect the overall situation.”

Lin Chuan nodded, without asking any more questions, he inserted his student ID card into the card slot of the device.

A screen similar to a mobile phone menu appears on the device screen.

He didn’t study the various functions of the “Menu” specifically, and immediately clicked on the [Selection Arena] icon.

Immediately, a laser from the instrument scanned his entire body.

Then the screen changes and displays the following text:

[It is detected that you are logging into the selection arena for the first time. Do you want to set a competition code for yourself? ]

【whether】

Fu Ling explained to him, “Generally, students who are confident that they can get into the top 2,000 will use their real names, while students who are just here to go through the motions and train their combat capabilities will choose to set a code name.”

“Of course, those who worry about being targeted will also choose to set a code name.”

Lin Chuan thought for a moment and asked, “After setting the code, will both parties in the competition still be able to know whether I am from Daqian College or Benyuan College?”

Fu Ling shook his head: “As long as you don’t reveal it, generally no one will know.”

So…

Lin Chuan thought about it and then gave himself a code name: [Vallin]

In another device, Qin Zhiyi also did not use his real name, but gave himself a code name: “My Master is Ao, What Can He Do to Me?”

After all, he is now considered a “traitor” to Daqian Academy, so he shouldn’t be too high-profile.

After setting the code, another message appeared on Lin Chuan’s screen:

[Your competitive level has been detected to be F. You are being matched with a student of the same level…]

[You have been matched. The competition is about to begin. Please be prepared…]

【3…2…1…】

After 321 seconds, a white light in the shape of an eggshell appeared, completely enveloping Lin Chuan.

With a thought, he found himself in a virtual space that looked like a fighting arena.

Opposite him was a slightly plump boy wearing a samurai costume.

Next to the boy, his identity information automatically appeared:

[Codename: Cannon Fodder Little N (F-Class)]

【Games: 18 (2 wins, 16 losses)】

【Ranking: 10000+】

Ah this…

Matched a small F-class piece of junk.

This piece of rubbish is quite self-aware, and he directly gave himself a code name containing the word “cannon fodder”.

Lin Chuan shook his head slightly, waiting for the whistle to sound and the game to begin, then he pointed his index finger and killed the cannon fodder student in seconds.

Then, a reminder sounded in his mind:

[Congratulations! This game received an S-level rating! ]

[Congratulations! Your competition rank has been promoted to D-level! ]

These two tips are not surprising.

Lin Chuan clicked on his own information and looked at the ranking. The result showed that it was the same as the cannon fodder just now, also 10,000+.

In other words, killing an F-ranked trash player instantly would not be enough to help him improve his ranking too much.

He originally thought that with his own strength, he could get first place in one competition.

Now it seems that in order to improve your ranking, you must first improve your competitive level.

Only when your competitive skill level is high can you match high-level opponents.

Only by defeating high-level opponents can you quickly improve your ranking.

But it doesn’t matter, it’s just a matter of playing a few more games.

It doesn’t waste time for him.

Anyway, it’s just a matter of seconds.

Lin Chuan then chose to continue matching and soon matched with the next player.

But what surprised him was——

I don’t know if it was because he performed too well in the last game, but I thought he would be a D-level player this time.

But the message from the tall and thin boy opposite was——

[Name: Zhang Jintian (C-level)]

【Games: 22 (16 wins, 6 losses)】

【Rank: 8729】

A C-level player with 16 wins and 6 losses, and he still uses his real name.

Looks like a pretty good one?

Lin Chuan was thinking.

Zhang Jintian, who was sitting opposite him, seemed to have read his message and laughed out loud:

“Yo~ This welfare bureau!”
