Chapter 347: Each Shows His Special Abilities
“Ah.”
Zi Zuan lazily leaned back in her chair and yawned. She casually glanced at the projection screen not far away, then quickly looked away with a dull look, muttering, "Boring."
The assessment has entered the middle and late stages. The leading candidates have gone deep into the secret passages, looking for the so-called "maze nodes"; and the lagging teams are not to be outdone, desperately searching for new puzzles. The maze, which was originally full of conflicts, is surprisingly calm at this moment - most of the candidates are busy on their way, and there are few fights.
This situation naturally made the guests on the viewing platform lose their focus and lose interest for a while. The puzzle-solving process was still interesting after watching it once or twice, but after the first few teams, except for the examiners who set the questions, almost no one was interested in the content of these puzzles.
For a moment, all that was left on the projection on the scene were the monotonous shots of a few leading teams hurrying on their way.
Of course, the outstanding performance of Team 277 was indispensable. In fact, due to the success of the team led by Tu Dinggui, Team 277 has become the focus of the projection. Even if she did nothing now, but on the way back from leaving the node, the screen would occasionally switch back to this team.
However, not many guests would be surprised by this, after all, the name of "Blue Star" is well-known in the magic kingdom. Since the accidental death of the former strongest flower card "Sakura", she, as the representative of the material world magical girl, has made great achievements, and her reputation is now second only to the jewel scepter. As "Blue Star's disciple", Tu Dinggui's outstanding performance is completely reasonable.
In addition to Team 277, the other teams that were the focus of attention also had their own backgrounds. If there were candidates who were familiar with the "big shot list" present, they would be surprised to find that the magical girls in these shots were almost all people on the list.
Among them, there is Team 604, whose progress is closely following Team 277. This team is now infinitely close to the maze node they are looking for. If nothing goes wrong, they can find the remaining beast in the node within ten minutes at most. The style of this team is also very similar to that of Team 277. They have excellent average strength, excellent comprehensive ability, strong execution, and have been smooth sailing all the way. The only thing that is inferior to Team 277 is probably that they are a little less efficient in solving puzzles, and many decisions are not as neat and tidy as those of Team 277. But rather than saying that they are lacking in this aspect, it is better to say that Team 277's performance is too outstanding.
As for the composition of the team members, although there is nothing worth mentioning in the eyes of the guests. However, in terms of the "big shot list", this team can be called a "dream team". Its members also gather two magical girls on the big shot list, namely "Kapok" who ranks first and "Flower Candle" who ranks seventh. On paper, it is even better than Team 277, so it is not surprising that they can achieve such progress.
Another team that attracted attention was Team 1334, which had been looking for trouble since the beginning of the assessment. The leader of this team was Buddaria, who had previously attacked Xia Liang and others.
From the beginning, this team made it clear that they were not looking for the way, but only for the people. Buddlei attacked almost all the candidate teams they met along the way. Many of them found the puzzles, and the puzzles and rewards behind them naturally fell into the hands of Buddlei and others. So far, Team 1334 is the team with the most puzzle rewards in the entire maze. With a total of 7 puzzles, their reward points even exceeded Team 277.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see what Buddist was up to: she cleverly exploited a loophole in the rules - the eliminated player could only point out the "attacker" instead of the "attacker's team", which made her move feasible. She could take on all the battles alone, while her two teammates would reap the benefits. Although she herself was doomed to lose points for being pointed out by multiple people, she could ensure that her teammates would achieve a sufficiently good result.
So, was Buddlei really so dedicated that he sacrificed his own points just to boost the scores of his two teammates? The answer is of course no.
What she actually wants is the "team score" and "spectator evaluation".
These two extra rewards are for the "entire practical test" and are not limited to the maze. Therefore, the scores of these two rewards are naturally not considered as the "results of the first test."
In other words, even if she is identified after leaving the maze, these two scores will not be transferred to other people.
The team score was the reason why she worked so hard to improve her teammates' scores. As long as her teammates' scores were high enough, she would also get corresponding extra points after the assessment.
As for the audience's evaluation, that is the reason why she performed so hard.
According to the rules of this assessment, Buddleja's behavior is naturally not encouraged, but her behavior has not reached the level of disrupting discipline. For the spectators on the scene, Buddleja's "troublemaker" really made the viewing experience much more interesting. It can be said that as long as the camera follows her, there will never be a lack of exciting stories.
Such an atmosphere on the scene undoubtedly means that her conspiracy has been successful. How could these senior magic girls on the viewing platform not see the thoughts of this junior? But there are still many people who applaud her performance. After all, in the eyes of the guests, using any means to get high scores in the assessment is also a "reflection of ambition." And the fact that Buddleija was able to consider off-site factors early and make arrangements for the purpose of "viewing and evaluating" is already very bold and daring, and deserves encouragement.
In addition to these three teams, there are naturally many teams that excel in other aspects. Some teams have formed alliances and entangled a large number of magical girls to be invincible in the maze, and even mastered more than three maze nodes, and are now launching a large-scale attack; some teams have relied on their super high mobility and sensing ability to run through most of the maze, and now have drawn a nearly complete map, and are using the map to reverse the puzzles and node distribution of the entire maze; some teams even have people who have the ability to communicate with plants, and by talking to the walls of the maze and building relationships with the shrubs that make up the maze, they have locked the location before the real exit appears. Now they have given up solving the puzzle and are squatting near the exit, waiting to be the first to run out after all the nodes are conquered...
Each team has its own ideas, and countless magical girls are trying to go beyond the rules. The situation on the scene can be described as "Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each showing their magical powers", because everyone knows that it is highly unlikely that they will be able to defeat the strongest teams by following the rules, so they are all trying to find another way.
But right now, we are still at a stage where a storm is about to come, and there are still too many teams lying dormant. Only when the exit is opened will the competition become the most intense.
Seeing that the content on the projection would not change in the short term, Purple Diamond could not help but start looking around. However, Emerald and even Pigeon Blood Red with an eye mask seemed to be watching with great interest, so much so that she could not even find someone to chat with.
Out of boredom, she couldn't help but secretly turn her eyes and glance behind her.
The petite figure sat there, like a puppet without any movement.
However, she didn't know if it was Zi Zuan's illusion, but she found that when the man looked at a certain place in the projection, the corners of his mouth seemed to be slightly upturned. She didn't dare to speculate too much, so she quickly retracted her gaze and drove away her messy thoughts.
She imitated the other spectators and pretended to be still watching the projection, but her eyes were a little scatterbrained and she couldn't concentrate at all for a moment.
Until one moment, she suddenly found that Emerald beside her sat up straight.
Not only Emerald, but even Pigeon Blood Red suddenly let out a meaningful laugh.
From the viewing stands below, exclamations such as "Is this possible?", "Oh my God", "Is this really not a foul?" began to be heard one after another.
what happens?
She belatedly gathered her mind and began to pay close attention to the contents on the projection. However, she was shocked to find that the center of the projection had been switched to a team that had rarely appeared before.
In this team, there was a magical girl wearing a hibiscus purple soft hat and a light yellow cape. She used some unknown means to easily open a hole in the wall of the maze, and then passed through it with her teammates.
And now, she was running all the way out of the maze.
