Freshman Camp Competition (2)
The upgraded "Classic of Mountains and Seas" still looked the same gray as before, with nothing special about it. If it weren't for the soft yet mysterious white light on the pages and the ancient sounds echoing in Shi Jianxia's ears, it would have been just an ordinary book.
Shi Jianxia's gaze fell on the column of mimicry level in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", and there was obvious surprise in his eyes.
[Mimetic Level: A]
After "Classic of Mountains and Seas" absorbed the first star core, its potential rating rose from C to A!
Ever since he learned that "Classic of Mountains and Seas" was starting to upgrade, Shi Jianxia couldn't help but wonder what level it would reach.
But considering that the more than 800 cubs all possessed independent mimicry talents and the unlocked Mythology and Kingdom of God chapters, she didn't dare to have too high expectations.
After all, more than 800 cubs are already enough to cheat. If the level of mimicry potential can be easily improved, she is not just using cheats after traveling through time, but traveling through time on top of cheats.
Therefore, Shi Jianxia lowered his expectations and conservatively thought that it would be a B grade. Now that he saw that it was an A grade, he was naturally overjoyed.
She couldn't wait to flip back, wanting to see how the children's mimicry talents would change after the upgrade. Suddenly, she noticed that the gray font of the mythology chapter had turned gold, and a new mimicry was unlocked below.
Chang Xi bathes in the moon.
Shi Jianxia felt a sense of anticipation for opening the blind box, and she immediately turned to the page where [Changxi Bathing the Moon] was located.
The illustrations of mythology have a mysterious and unique beauty. The bright moon hangs high in the sky, casting silver-gray light on the earth. A beautiful and gentle woman in a gorgeous dress lowers her head and writes under the moonlight.
Next to the illustration is an introduction to the mimicry.
[Divine Puppet Mimicry Name: Changxi]
[Mimicry Level: A-level (0/10 A-level vortex required for upgrade)]
[Mimetic Potential: Can be upgraded to 3S level]
[Mimicry Talent: Changxi Bathing in the Moon]
[Talent Description: The Mimicry owner can summon a moon in a designated area and gain double the combat power of the current state. Living and non-living things in the area will be affected by 20% of the current lunar eclipse effect. The talent lasts for 1 hour and has a cooldown of 240 hours (cooldown completed).
Active - Divine Puppet Changxi: Changxi gains combat power equal to the current state of the mimic owner, lasting for 1 hour, with 3/3 of the reserve quantity (active cooldown time: 240 hours)
[Battle Level: Level 1 (Level 1 Insect Crystals 0/10000 required for upgrade)]
[Fusion Combat Bonus: Increase the physical function of the mimic owner by 300% and gain Changxi appearance x 1 (optional)
Passive - Moon Shadow: When the Mimic's owner is directly exposed to moonlight, they can 100% blend into the surrounding environment.
At this time, Xia Xiaoxiao screamed and couldn't wait to summon Changxi out of the "Classic of Mountains and Seas".
The active ability of [Chang Xi Yu Yue] is equivalent to copying and pasting another 'Shi Jian Xia'. The higher her combat power, the better the effect.
If the other mimics awakened in the mythology chapter also have such active effects, then we have to say that "Shan Hai Jing" knows how to fight in groups.
The gap between A-level mimicry and C-level mimicry is also reflected. Not to mention the percentage of physical function improved by fusion combat, it also gives a free appearance. If every divine puppet mimicry has this benefit, wouldn’t she have to change her name in the future and be called Miracle Xia Xia?
Before Shi Jianxia could calculate how many items he could store in his future wardrobe, a woman in a feathered dress slowly walked out from the curling white light.
She has a high nose bridge, bright eyes under willow-shaped eyebrows, and her long black hair is gently tied up with a wooden hairpin, which sets off her crystal-clear skin, like the bright moon in the sky, bright and noble.
Meeting Shi Jianxia's astonished gaze, Chang Xi lifted his sleeves to cover his lips and chuckled softly, the sound like the first melting of winter snow, cool and intoxicating, "Xia Xia."
Shi Jianxia came back to her senses and blushed a little, "Hello."
When she was in school, she was very interested in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" and knew the mythological story of Changxi bathing in the moon, but she never imagined that one day she would travel through the stars and summon Changxi as a mimic.
This goddess who only appeared in mythological stories was so beautiful, with a clear and cool temperament, dignified and noble, and she even called her nickname softly.
Chang Xi chuckled again, and with his palm facing up, he produced a jade bottle and handed it to Shi Jianxia. "I see you're a little tired. This is the morning dew I picked from Sun and Moon Mountain. It's refreshing and brightens your eyesight. I'm giving it to you to wake you up and relieve your fatigue."
Shi Jianxia exclaimed, and with a slightly red face, she took the gift from the goddess sister, took a small sip, and felt a stream of fresh water injected into her body which was a little tired due to getting up early and going to bed late recently. She was no longer sleepy, and stopped yawning. Her mind was extremely clear, and the knowledge points that she had just forced herself to memorize seemed to be connected into a string.
"Thank you!" Shi Jianxia said in surprise.
Does this count as drinking nectar?
Chang Xi was delighted that she liked his gift, and smiled, "Then I will go to Sun Moon Mountain to pick some for you every day."
"How can I feel embarrassed about that?" Shi Jianxia touched his nose, feeling very surprised.
The Sun and Moon Mountain is included in the mimicry of awakening early in the morning, but I have never heard this cub say that it can produce morning dew with such good effects. Could it be that it can't collect it itself?
Perhaps the Classic of Mountains and Seas is a world unto itself? Mythological figures and their children can roam freely within it, transcending its boundaries and entering the interstellar age whenever she needs to?
Shi Jianxia directly told Chang Xi about his doubts.
There was a hint of confusion in Chang Xi's eyes, as if this question was completely beyond her understanding and she was unable to organize the words to answer it.
Shi Jianxia had no choice but to give up.
She had no plans to expose Changxi to others for the time being, especially since Changxi's mimicry talent and fusion combat bonus were very suitable for her next action.
Shi Jianxia thanked Changxi again for the morning dew and sent her back to the "Classic of Mountains and Seas".
She turned back to the table of contents of "Classic of Mountains and Seas".
The Mythology chapter only unlocks Changxi, and the Kingdom of God chapter is still gray. I don’t know when it will be unlocked. Do I have to wait until the potential rating of "Classic of Mountains and Seas" is upgraded to S level?
Shi Jianxia felt that this guess was possible. The Kingdom of God chapter sounded very awesome, and the awakening mimicry would definitely not be worse than the mimicry awakening in the Mythology chapter.
But it’s better this way. More than 800 cubs are almost too much for her to bear, and the mimicry talent is completely sufficient. New mimics should be awakened one after another in the mythology chapter.
When the Classic of Mountains and Seas is upgraded to S-level and the Kingdom of God chapter is unlocked, the level of awakened mimicry potential will be S-level at that time, which can save her a lot of insect vortexes needed for upgrading.
As for whether "Classic of Mountains and Seas" can be upgraded to S-level, Shi Jianxia certainly holds a positive and absolute attitude.
No matter what the star core is, as long as it can upgrade the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", she will take it. Even if there is a risk that the red spider lily will find out that she has ulterior motives, she will never give it up.
Shi Jianxia casually turned to the page where the phoenix was, and saw that its mimicry talent had changed again.
[Active - Burning Embers: Under the same Mimic/Zerg rating, 100% chance of triggering a fatal effect on a single target with a lower combat level than the player (Active cooldown: 20 minutes)
Unique Passive - Nirvana: When the health of the Mimic's owner drops to 0, there is a 60% chance of triggering the Nirvana effect (Passive priority: highest for all Mimics)
The cooldown of [Active - Burning Embers] was shortened from 25 minutes to 20 minutes, and the probability of [Unique Passive - Nirvana] was increased from the original 50% to 60%.
Shi Jianxia expected that the cooldown time of Burning Embers would be shortened, but she was pleasantly surprised by the increased probability of Nirvana.
In addition to the Nine-tailed Fox's [Nine Lives of the Heavenly Fox], the Phoenix's [Only Passive - Nirvana] is the only remaining life-saving talent among the currently awakened mimicry talents in "Classic of Mountains and Seas".
Comparing the two, [Nine Lives of the Sky Fox] seems to be safer and more useful, but [Nine Lives of the Sky Fox] can only be used nine times, and has been consumed once by her, and needs to be actively used by the mimic owner.
[Unique Passive - Nirvana] has no limit on the number of times it can be used. If someone launches a near-fatal sneak attack on her when she is not prepared, and she does not have the chance to use [Nine Lives of the Sky Fox], Nirvana is the best life-saving weapon, and the higher the probability, the better.
Thinking of this, Shi Jianxia suddenly stopped flipping through the pages of "Classic of Mountains and Seas".
The first substitute effect of [Nine Lives of the Sky Fox] was used when she just crossed over, but when she crossed over, she didn't know that she had awakened the mimicry, and didn't even know what mimicry was. How could she actively use the mimicry talent of the Nine-tailed Fox?
Could it be the original owner... or was it used by Number Seven?
Shi Jianxia closed the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", gently stroked its slightly rough cover, sat in the chair in a daze for more than ten minutes, and really couldn't figure it out, so he put the problem behind his mind again.
upgrade!
Upgrade quickly!
As long as she has the power to protect herself, no matter how great the difficulties and dangers are, they will not be a problem.

The next day, Xia Hejun, Xiaoyi, and Yuan Huai met at the indoor training ground.
Like the previous military training results acceptance competition, this freshman camp competition was also held in the Xuan Tower, with a high degree of freedom.
The rules of the game are that participating camps will be randomly assigned territories, and each camp can compete for or defend the territory through offensive and defensive means. After our camp occupies the enemy camp's territory, the main general needs to stay at the designated location within the territory, which is the landing point of each camp, for a full hour to complete the territory transfer.
At the end of the game, the faction with the most territories will win the game.
The map 100% simulates the real natural environment, but in order to take care of the freshmen who are participating in the faction competition for the first time, the rule of "randomly generating Zerg in the map" has been removed, reducing the difficulty.
Camp recruitment ended at midnight last night. Currently, there are five camps participating in the competition, with more than 3,000 participants.
Among them, the two camps of 'I'm determined to take the first place' and 'Do you think I agree' have the largest number of people, with a full complement of one thousand people.
The remaining three camps, 'Professional Runner-up' and 'Not Panic at All', divided up more than a thousand people.
The most eye-catching team in the whole show was the 'Brave Pu Pu, Not Afraid of Difficulties', which consisted of only three members. All three were from the Nan Teng Military Academy, which was notoriously poor in combat. Two of them were majoring in Zerg anatomy, and one was majoring in weapons manufacturing.
The entire competition will be broadcast live on the official forum of Nandong Military Academy. Anyone who wants to watch it can just click the link to enter the live broadcast room.
However, freshman camp games are generally not very interesting, because freshmen have just entered school and their understanding of combat, strategy, and tactics is very superficial. They are also prone to making some low-level mistakes, which makes people want to rush up and play for them. Therefore, people who are purely interested in the game will mostly choose to watch the junior and senior camp games.
The principal did not participate in this competition, and the competition evaluation was mainly carried out by the first-year instructor team.
The chief instructor looked at the 'Brave Pu Pu, Not Afraid of Hardships' camp, which only had three pitiful names on the virtual screen, and held his forehead with a headache.
Who gave these three brats the courage to form their own faction? Once the competition started, wouldn't they be devoured by the other factions and eliminated in minutes?
Jun Xiaoyi was a little nervous. After he went on stage and completed the check-in as the main general, he faced the gazes of more than 3,000 people in the audience, and walked over to the truly calm Shi Jianxia with pretended calmness and sat down next to him.
Yuan Huai was the most nervous and didn't know what to do, but he was nervous purely because too many people were watching him. In fact, he just participated in the competition with the mentality of having fun from the beginning. He had no pursuit of the result of the competition, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with forming a team of three to participate in the competition.
When the host arranged by the Student Union introduced the participating teams, the audience came to the stands——
The seniors who came to join in the fun.
During the run-up to the game, a deep and reliable voice suddenly rang out from the audience, "Xiao Yi! Xia Xia! Xiao Huai! Come on!"
The cadets looked back and saw Su Jiuzhong, who was carrying a heavy machine gun, holding the isolation fence and waving at Shi Jianxia and the other two with a smile on his face. He was completely unaware of how eye-catching his actions were.
There was a sudden murmur in the competition area, and almost all the contestants turned their eyes to the 'pitiful' trio.
Jun Xiaoyi was a little nervous at first, but when he heard people whispering around him, he relaxed.
Yuan Huai was completely the opposite of him, he was so nervous that he was almost sweating.
Since registering for the freshman camp competition, the three of them often got together. Jun Xiaoyi specifically asked Su Jiuzhong many things to pay attention to when participating in the competition. Yuan Huai followed along and also got to know Su Jiuzhong.
Shi Jianxia remained calm and even turned around and waved to Su Jiuzhong, attracting envious glances from the freshmen.
Xia Shuxing snorted coldly and commented, "Why are you showing off? I'll have you out within the first hour."
Jin Ze, who was sitting next to him, pinched his brows, wanting to ask him if he had forgotten the frustration he felt at Shi Jianxia's place during the military training results acceptance competition.
But then again, this camp competition is different from the last military training results acceptance competition. The "I'm sure to get the first place" where they are has a full staff of 1,000 people, and can easily beat "Brave Pu Pu, not afraid of difficulties".
Su Jiuzhong was about to find a place to sit down and watch the game for a while before going to the insect-occupied area when he suddenly heard someone calling him. He turned around and saw it was Nan Chiqing. She had also come to watch the game.
-
As time approaches nine o'clock, all contestants enter the Xuan Tower.
Shi Jianxia listened to a series of system prompts and slowly opened his eyes.
What appeared before her was a dense forest with tall trees. Birds chirped on the branches. The wind blew through the treetops, making a slight rustling sound. The noise and silence reached a delicate balance.
Beside her, Jun Xiaoyi and Yuan Huai also opened their eyes.
The three men were dressed in combat fatigues, carrying backpacks and had camouflage paint on their faces.
At the same time, the system prompt sounded in the ears of the three people.
[System prompt: Faction territories have been allocated. The commanders of each faction can check the match map to find out their own and enemy territories. The match does not provide map positioning. Each faction must explore the map details on their own.]
As the system's voice disappeared, Shi Jianxia and Yuan Huai came to Jun Xiaoyi and checked the territories of each camp on his map.
Since there are five camps participating in the competition, the entire map is divided into five parts, namely A, B, C, D, and E. The territory allocated to 'Brave Pu Pu, Not Afraid of Difficulties' is Land A, which happens to be surrounded by the other four territories in the middle and has the largest area.
Yuan Huai took a breath, "The sky is collapsing."
If they were allocated the least territory, they might be able to survive, but since they have the largest territory and are the weakest, they will definitely be the first dish in the gluttonous feast and will be finished immediately.
Jun Xiaoyi touched his chin and said, "I think it's an excellent start."
Shi Jianxia nodded.
Yuan Huai looked over blankly, "What do you mean?"
Jun Xiaoyi smiled with his big white teeth, "It's better to run away first. Whoever wants this piece of land can take it."
Yuan Huai: "...What about us now?"
"Of course we have to run away immediately! The other four camps will definitely attack us first." Shi Jianxia summoned a unicorn, formed a circle with his index finger and thumb, and blew a long whistle. "I'll go ahead and scout the way for you."
The unicorn galloped away, its hind hooves kicking up a few fallen leaves, which almost hit Yuan Huai's face.
Facing Yuan Huai's resentful gaze, Jun Xiaoyi spread his hands, unfolded the virtual screen and clicked twice.
At the same time, the system announcement resounded throughout the entire game map.
[System Announcement: Jun Xiaoyi, the leader of the 'Brave Pu Pu, Not Afraid of Difficulties' faction, has relinquished ownership of the territory.]
Yuan Huai looked at Jun Xiaoyi in disbelief and stammered, "Just...just give up like that?"
Jun Xiaoyi nodded seriously, without a trace of heartache on his face.
According to the rules of the game, only when the territory becomes ownerless can other camps occupy it. The prerequisite for meeting this condition is that either the lord is eliminated or the lord voluntarily gives up the territory.
As long as Jun Xiaoyi is still the lord of Territory A, he will be hunted down by the other four camps. He might be caught at any time and be eliminated on the spot.
Rather than running away with a heavy mountain of gold on your back, it is better to travel light and keep the green mountains for yourself so that you will not be afraid of running out of firewood.
He voluntarily gave up the territory of Area A. The other camps would subconsciously think that the "brave Pu Pu, not afraid of difficulties" with only three members had no competitiveness, and naturally ignored them as ants. If they met them, they could easily eliminate them, and if they didn't meet them, they would not go to the trouble of capturing them.
Jun Xiaoyi's actions also caused a little commotion in the audience.
Some people think that he is a man of insight and that it is very necessary to protect himself in times of crisis.
Some thought he was just being funny. Losing this territory, "Brave Pu Pu, fearless of difficulties," was no different from being eliminated. It was impossible for the three of them to snatch food from four factions with hundreds, even thousands, of people in subsequent matches, right?
The chief instructor, however, raised his eyebrows in surprise and commented, "This kid is quite far-sighted."
The deputy chief instructor nodded in approval.
This is the most suitable way for those who are "brave and not afraid of difficulties" to survive to the end. No matter on the playing field or on the battlefield, being alive means infinite possibilities.
Yuan Huai knew nothing about combat, but he had a relatively clear understanding of his own abilities. Although he was shocked by Jun Xiaoyi's actions, he did not give blind orders. Instead, he followed him obediently, following the route explored by Shi Jianxia.
At the beginning of the game, the people from the other four camps did not arrive at Location A so quickly. They had to make use of their time and try to explore the territory of Location A thoroughly so as to make targeted plans in subsequent games.
Moreover, the battlefield emphasizes information asymmetry. The game does not provide map positioning. Apart from knowing the location of their own territory, each camp does not know the specific location of its own team.
At this time, whoever explores the boundaries of the territory first can attack the territory of other camps the fastest.
Just at this time, a vast unowned territory appeared in front of the four camps. They must be eager to rush to Place A and become the new lord of Place A.
Jun Xiaoyi walked along the way, sowing dandelion seeds along the way, letting them take root in place or fly higher and farther.
Wherever the dandelions are, that is where his sight is.
He was sure that no one in this competition would notice the dandelions everywhere in the forest, let alone realize that the dandelions were his mimicry and thus become defensive.
The unicorn ran very fast. Shi Jianxia rode it to explore forward. Every kilometer, he would release one or two cubs from the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" and let them explore in different directions.
She believed that in the entire competition field, no camp's scouts were as efficient as those of the cubs.
As more and more cubs and dandelions were released, Shi Jianxia and Jun Xiaoyi learned more and more information and data, and the map they drew became more and more complete.
As a member of the camp, Yuan Huai looked at the map that was updated in real time, his mouth opened into an O shape, and he suddenly realized that he seemed to have become the boss's leg pendant again.
