30. Chief of the Combat Department
While the second-year students were busy with exams, the first-year students in the combat department acted as "volunteers", distributing maps to the spectators, giving directions, explaining relevant concepts, etc.
Because in addition to the students of the school watching the game, there are also many people from society, such as students' families, businessmen, political figures, military bloggers, etc.
The entire island can accommodate hundreds of thousands of people at the same time, and people outside the school have to buy tickets to enter.
After the boat docked, the students entered by scanning their faces using their shoulder badges.
Su Liu saw that there was a ticket booth and asked, "How much is a ticket?"
"Depending on where you watch the game, it ranges from one thousand to tens of thousands of star coins," said Rosa.
“So expensive?”
"You have to know that ordinary people's admiration for people with special abilities is quite exaggerated. This kind of open and formal combat scene is particularly attractive."
Rosa knew the ticket seller and went to chat with him for a while. When she came back, she whispered, "We've sold over 30,000 tickets so far, and we've received several million star coins."
Su Liu was shocked. "If we hold this kind of exam frequently, won't the school make a fortune?"
"You're taking it for granted. Do you really think the school won't pay a cent?"
Compared to the profits generated by the planting system, the combat system actually costs a lot of money.
Just the cost of raising combat beasts, maintaining the Undead Forest, the holographic combat simulation field, medical expenses, etc., billions of star coins per year are not enough.
The reason why the combat department's midterm exam is open to the public is to fill in the huge hole a little.
Following the guidance of the volunteers, Su Liu got a map with the locations of various battle fields marked on it.
The three-day exam includes individual battles, team battles, ranking battles for the top 50 in the department, elimination battles against monsters, etc.
Through various combat mode assessments, we can fully understand the students' abilities and personalities.
This midterm exam is crucial for second-year students. Many military leaders will be present to select outstanding talents to enter the military in advance.
Yan Ziyan and Lan Xianger came back from a walk and asked Su Liu and the others if there was anyone they particularly cared about.
"If you want to watch someone take an exam, you can ask in advance where they are taking the exam and what time it is."
Su Liu was unfamiliar with the combat system, not to mention being a sophomore. If we really counted, there was only one person, Bi Yanmian, who was patrolling the mirror area.
"I don't, do you?" she asked Rosa.
Rosa also said, "I can look at anyone I want."
Yan Ziyan thought for a moment and said, "Then let's go watch the elimination match against the alien beasts. I heard that the second-year combat department leader is going to challenge the 'evil' disaster."
The least threatening of the major disasters is the "evil" disaster, whose beast master level is "evil" and has the power to destroy a town.
The chief of the combat department intends to challenge the entire "evil" disaster by himself, which is the most eye-catching focus of the entire exam.
Not only Yan Ziyan wanted to watch it, many people came for this scene.
The battle took place at the Jialan Tower on the south side of the island. The entire tower has 19 floors and a total height of more than 300 meters. From the bottom to the highest floor, there are a total of 3,780 exotic beasts, and the difficulty ranges from low to high.
At the top is the beast master of "Evil Disaster". Only by killing all the strange beasts including the beast master can the test be completed.
After the challenger enters the Galan Tower, the internal images will be collected by tens of thousands of nano-cameras, edited, and quickly processed into appropriate clips, and then transmitted to the major display screens outside the tower.
Only when he arrived at the place did Su Liu see what a huge crowd of people meant.
Every large electronic screen was filled with people, excitedly waiting for the upcoming bloody battle.
Su Liu looked at the manual and learned that this midterm exam was a points-based exam. For each exam won, the score would be calculated based on the difficulty, and the final ranking would be based on the total score.
For example, if you succeed in the chief challenge of "evil", your points will basically crush everyone else.
She was looking at the rules when a sudden commotion broke out around her.
"Here it comes." Yan Ziyan said in a low voice.
Su Liu looked up at the big screen and saw a boy in the second-year combat uniform striding towards the Galan Tower.
"Is it him?" Su Liu was stunned.
Yan Ziyan asked, "Do you know him?"
"Yes, he is a senior who patrols the Mirror Area." Su Liu didn't expect that he was an acquaintance. "He should be called Bi Yanmian."
Rosa interrupted, "That's his name. He's the second-year combat department leader. He looks unremarkable, but he's actually very strong."
Su Liu deeply agreed.
In the center of the screen, Bi Yanmian calmly adjusted his sleeves, unconcerned with the roars of strange beasts coming from the Jialan Tower.
He still had that lazy posture, his dead fish eyes were particularly dull, and his shoulders were slightly hunched inward. He didn't look like a strong man at all.
Such a person happens to be the chief.
At this moment, a voice came from an airship in the sky: "There are three minutes left before the challenge begins. Challengers, please get ready."
The moment he finished speaking, Bi Yanmian swiped his hand across the air, and a spear of a strange shape appeared.
The spear looked like an ancient red tassel spear, but the spear head was not regular, but winding like a snake, and the spear blade flashed red light in the sunlight.
The gun handle is very beautiful, a truly colorful black, probably made of a gemstone like obsidian. Its unique luster seems to be coated with a layer of deep and mysterious crystal.
Holding the spear tightly, Bi Yanmian bent slightly lazily as if ready to fight. At the moment the gunshot rang out, symbolizing the start of the battle, the audience only saw a flash of black shadow, and Bi Yanmian was no longer there.
The scene then changed and it was already the bottom floor of the Jialan Tower.
There are a thousand low-level alien beasts here. They are not very powerful individually but they win in numbers. Just a round-robin battle can exhaust the physical strength of the psychic.
However, facing the huge horde of beasts rushing in, Bi Yanmian swung his spear with great force, and the sharp spear blade, wrapped in the force of a hurricane, instantly killed the large group of strange beasts.
In the darkness, a huge strange beast slowly walked out with a low growl, and let out an earth-shaking roar towards Bi Yanmian.
The moment it swooped down, Bi Yanmian swung out his spear, but it opened its mouth and bit the spear blade, as if creating an opportunity for other companions, determined to bite the weapon into pieces no matter what.
Without blinking, Bi Yanmian raised his arm and lifted the huge monster into the air.
Then, he swung his hand casually, and the strange beast weighing hundreds of tons was thrown out like a mouse, smashing through more than a dozen walls in a row.
On the ceiling, the rustling insects and beasts seized the opportunity and pounced on Bi Yanmian who had paused for a moment.
There were so many of them that Bi Yanmian's entire body was instantly covered by the swarm of insects. The insects opened their mouths with densely packed teeth and made strange, cuckooing noises. The scene was truly terrifying.
The bugs are all infected with strange factors. This number can eat Bi Yanmian clean in an instant, leaving no bones.
Yan Ziyan almost dared not to look at it. She exclaimed and covered her mouth, "Oh my God, why don't you stop it?"
As soon as she finished speaking, there was another riot in the crowd.
In the picture, beneath the black swarm of insects, dots of red light suddenly appeared.
Just like the magma flowing in a volcano, the little red light quickly spread out, quickly tearing open several holes in the insect swarm with a series of cracking sounds.
Immediately afterwards, blood-red flames shot up into the sky, sweeping across the entire bottom layer like a hurricane, turning it into a terrifying sea of fire.
The flame was too powerful, and the insect swarm and more weak beasts turned into flying black ashes and drifted down.
In this blood-red light, the originally lazy and lifeless Bi Yanmian seemed to have become a different person. His eyes were incredibly sharp.
He raised his spear towards the strange beast, his expression cold but incredibly tough, his soft brown hair fluttering gently in the air flow.
