January 1, 178th year of the Alliance Calendar, 7:00 a.m.
Outside the Lotus Lake Arena test site in the ancient city of Donghuang Ancient Country, the gate finally opened, and the examinees rushed in.
The scene was very lively, mostly young people, and some middle-aged people came to fight for their diplomas and dreams.
"Ah..." At this time, the shaved cousins looked at Shi Yu leaving, and their hearts itched.
What a pity.
They and Shi Yu were not in the same test site, so they might not see the scene of Shi Yu's green cotton caterpillars showing off to the sky and shocking the examiners.
It feels like a loss of 100 million.
At this time, Shi Yu looked at the venue shown on the admission ticket and walked around in a mess following the crowd and the road signs.
"This feeling is really similar to the college entrance examination..."
"Unfortunately, except for the written test, we are well prepared this time!"
Shi Yu smiled.
Lotus Lake Arena, Examination Venue No. 10.
After a while, Shi Yu arrived here.
To be honest, he felt something was not right, because it was not Venue No. 11. This was a bit off. Was the lucky number gone?
...
The basic test is conducted in many examination venues together. Only in this way can it be guaranteed that the candidates can complete the test in the shortest time.
There is an off-site basic test in the morning and an indoor written test in the afternoon. The assessment efficiency is extremely high.
In just one day, two assessments can be completed, and the written test content is all graded by machines. The results can be announced the next day.
On the day the results are announced, the examinees have a day off, and then the third assessment will follow!
At this moment, Shi Yu and 79 other candidates stood around the No. 10 examination venue, outside the cordon of a huge testing station.
This testing station was not built directly here, but moved here. It is very similar to a boxing ring, but larger, less than one meter high, but ten meters long and wide. It is an energy detection machine with extremely high precision.
Standing on it, not only can the energy data of the pet be detected, but also the race, height, weight, physical development, and age of the pet can be directly detected.
At present, facing the testing station, within the cordon, there are three tables. Behind the table, there are three examiners, two men and one woman. One is operating a computer, and the other two are reading the information with calm expressions.
"It's another year of professional assessment." The female examiner looked up at the examinees who had almost arrived outside the blockade and sighed.
Every year, some people are happy and some are sad during these few days. I wonder if anyone will be upset this year...
"I'm a little curious about the quality of the examinees this year."
"I don't need to think about it. It will definitely get better every year."
The other two male examiners laughed.
They are all professional beast masters of the Ancient City Beast Master Association. The grassroots examiners for the professional assessment every year are randomly transferred from professional beast masters.
Although it's only a few days, the treatment is very good.
At this time, seeing that the time is almost up, the middle-aged female examiner in a professional black suit stood up, opened the blockade, and said, "Okay, be quiet."
She looked at everyone with a stern look.
"I'm Zhuang Ping, the examiner of your basic test. From now on, I will be in charge of your basic test. This test is very simple. When you hear your name, you will go up to the test platform and summon one of your pets."
"There will be no ranking for this basic test. You will pass if you pass the line. However, the pets you summon may affect the questions of your field trial assessment based on their race and attributes, so if you have multiple pets, think carefully before deciding which one to summon."
"The third test is the outdoor test. I believe you have already understood it. You will be thrown into a wild area and asked to survive there for a period of time. During the survival period, each of you will be assigned some test tasks, such as hunting a certain beast or taking certain resources."
"The assigned tasks will, to a certain extent, restrain the pets you send out for testing next. Do you understand?"
The 80 semi-professional beastmasters in the audience listened quietly and nodded in unison.
I understand.
For example, now a fire-type Moon Flame Beast is sent to participate in the basic test. In the third stage, the task is to let the examinee deal with water-type beasts and take water-type resources.
It's always difficult.
Although it is difficult, the Beast Tamer Association did not hide this rule and directly reminded the examinees.
Most examinees have contracted two pets. If both pets have reached the extraordinary level, in a sense, this also gives the examinees the power to choose the type of task in the third test. Examinees
can use this rule to make their third test easier.
After all, if you can restrain one of my pets, can you restrain both of them?
Of course, for those candidates who have only contracted one pet, or only one pet has reached the extraordinary level, this rule is not very friendly...
"
The time is up, so let's start the basic test. Candidates who have reported their names, do as I said before, and move quickly."
After the chief examiner Zhuang Ping finished speaking, a male examiner holding a name list cleared his throat and called out the name: "Candidate number 1439, He Yu."
The first candidate whose name was called was a ponytailed girl under 20 years old. When she heard her name, her heart skipped a beat. She raised her hand nervously and shouted, "I'm here!"
"Go up and take the test." Zhuang Ping also held a name list and nodded.
She looked at the data in her hand, which recorded the photo, name, age, gender, hometown and other information of the girl named He Yu...
Under the attention of the audience, the first assessor He Yu trotted onto the testing table. The moment she stepped onto the testing table, the glass surface immediately lit up, scaring the girl.
But soon, she calmed down and looked at the examiner carefully.
"Just summon the pet directly after you go up." Zhuang Ping said.
"Okay." The girl nodded and took a deep breath. The next second, not far in front of her, a huge gray pattern with countless flashes of light, like a star map, appeared in the air.
Immediately afterwards, ripples appeared on the surface of the array like the surface of water, and a standing posture, with a light blue body, clear blue eyes, purple eyeballs, and an appearance similar to a flying squirrel floated out of the summoning pattern!
[Name]: Super Flying Squirrel
[Attribute]: Spirit
[Racial Level]: Advanced Transcendent
[Racial Skills]: Telekinesis, Doppelganger, Barrier
It is a relatively rare spiritual pet!
As everyone was looking at the Super Flying Mouse, the next moment, the test station automatically broadcast the test results.
"Species name, Super Flying Mouse."
"Species level, advanced extraordinary level."
"Growth level, extraordinary level."
"Energy value, 599 points."
After the voice broadcast, the girl He Yu blushed and clenched her fists excitedly. Great, not bad!
Below, a small number of people looked confused, and most people nodded secretly. Obviously, not everyone knew what this value meant.
At this moment, the examiner in front of the computer also received other more detailed data of the Super Flying Mouse, and then uploaded it seriously. The examiner who called the name began to record the paper version of the information.
As for the examiner Zhuang Ping, she added:
"Energy value represents the amount of energy in the pet's body. The energy value of a pet in the awakening period is basically within 100. As for the extraordinary level standard for this time, it is 500 points. This value largely determines whether the pet can use high-level skills and whether it can use skills multiple times. You can use it as a reference to judge the strength of your pet."
After the pet's growth level enters the extraordinary level, it will not have multiple awakening transformations like the awakening period. The strength will not undergo a qualitative change at a certain node, but will rely on gradual accumulation.
Because pets at this level have passed the stage of rapid growth, and the race skills are basically awakened.
Next, the entire extraordinary level will only have this one major level, without any sub-level divisions.
As for the next growth and transformation of pets, it will have to wait until the commander level.
At this time, the pet's strength will have a relatively large qualitative change. The pet can even release energy, solidify, and condense energy crystals by itself! ! !
In the wild, some commander-level creatures rely on this method to cultivate their people. The difference in strength between a tribe with commander-level creatures and a tribe without commander-level creatures will be very obvious!
...
"Test number 1440, Jin Fei."
...
"Race name, Shadow Leopard."
"Race level, High-level Transcendent."
"Growth level, Transcendent."
"Energy value, 761 points."
...
"Test number 1441, Ji Yuan."
...
"Race name, Gathering Wind Vine."
"Race level, Medium Transcendent."
"Growth level, Transcendent."
"Energy value, 524 points."
...
Next, one examinee after another was called and took the test.
However, the test session was basically dull, without any highlights.
Until...
"Test number 1461, Xiong Xing."
"Race name, Thunder Lion."
"Race level, Low-level Commander."
"Growth level, Transcendent."
"Energy value, 1214 points."
At this moment, the dull atmosphere of the basic test session was directly broken.
"Oh shit, it's over a thousand???"
"Damn, that's twice as much as my Earth Crystal Butterfly..."
"That's ridiculous, the leader of a species is so awesome..."
Everyone was looking at the young man on the testing table and the golden electric lion next to him, all in shock.
A low-level leader of a species, the Thunder Lion!
This energy value is almost times more than the previous candidate's pet!
"Roar!" On the testing table, the Thunder Lion roared, enjoying the feeling of being noticed together with the beastmaster.
The beastmaster named Xiong Xing had a calm expression and was extremely satisfied.
He was the focus of the whole audience!
"Not bad." Facing the first candidate who broke a thousand, the three examiners nodded silently without much expression.
At the extraordinary level, the pet's combat power is actually determined by the pet's race, skills, and self-training.
Through daily training, pets can slowly increase their energy limit and improve their skill proficiency. In battle, this is what they compete on.
Among them, high-race pets definitely have an innate advantage. Their physical limit is naturally higher than that of low-race pets. This cannot be helped.
It is normal for pets of higher races to have high energy values.
But this does not mean anything.
As long as the energy gap between extraordinary creatures is not too great, this gap is not impossible to make up.
If a high-race pet's skill proficiency is not high, it can't actually bring out its energy advantage.
On the contrary, if a low-race pet practices a skill or a combination skill to a very proficient level and can instantly burst out all its energy, then it is not that weak.
Although the energy value of a pet reflects the pet's strength to a certain extent, the key is to look at the performance of the skill that materializes the energy.
These three examiners are all high-level beast masters, so naturally they won't be as surprised as the candidates.
Just kidding, they are just a group of quasi-professional candidates. They can judge the condition of the pets even without testing. This is experience!
At this time, Shi Yu was watching silently among the candidates.
It seems that it will be his turn soon?
I don't know what the specific energy value of Eleven can reach...
Although its race is not high, none of the candidates who summoned medium-level extraordinary pets before have an energy value of over 700, but my Eleven is obviously not ordinary...
Not to mention that the Evolution Holy Spring has improved its physical fitness once, the feedback brought to the body by the hardening of the superb race skills, and the feedback brought to the body by a bunch of non-race skills, can all increase the energy limit...
Curious.jpg
"Test number 1464, Shi Yu."
Shi Yu thought about it, and he was called.
At this time, the first candidate who broke 1,000 just appeared, and the surrounding candidates were still in a state of excitement.
There was a feeling of boredom and the limelight was suppressed.
Damn, at this stage, the leader of the race is contracted, and you can be willful if you have money.
Next, Shi Yu took the stage.
The male examiners were fine, they just glanced at Shi Yu silently and then lost interest.
Shi Yu, wearing a short-sleeved shirt with a steel-eating beast, was too ordinary and didn't look that powerful.
"The pet must be a steel-eating beast, right?"
Otherwise, which normal boy would wear a short-sleeved shirt with a steel-eating beast!
At this time, the female examiners commented on Shi Yu's appearance in their hearts.
"Finally, there is a more handsome examiner."
Just like that, Shi Yu stepped onto the testing table under the gaze of the examinees and three examiners around the No. 10 venue.
"Summon your pet." The chief examiner Zhuang Ping said below.
On the testing table, Shi Yu nodded, and finally decided to summon Eleven.
The extraordinary bugs are too outrageous, so let's not provoke everyone, keep a low profile, keep a low profile.
"Eleven."
Shi Yu communicated with Eleven who had been waiting for a long time in the beast control space.
The next moment, a gray summoning array instantly appeared on the ground in front of him.
Countless light spots swirled around, and Eleven, who was just over one meter tall, appeared on the field.
The little iron-eating beast, just over one meter tall, obviously has not yet reached adulthood. It has a firm gaze and stands fat on the field. Its soft black and white hair flutters in the breeze. From a breeding perspective, it is perfect.
"It is indeed a iron-eating beast..."
However, perfection is perfection, but the species of the iron-eating beast completely hits the predictions of other candidates.
Shi Yu's clothes hinted too obvious!
Next, next, a medium-sized iron-eating beast. Even if it reaches the extraordinary level, its energy value is not high.
About 550?
The examinees judged.
Not to mention the examinees, even the three examiners, out of boredom, took a quick glance and estimated.
At this moment,
the test station automatically broadcast the energy status of Eleven...
"Species name, iron-eating beast."
"Species level, medium extraordinary."
"Growth level, extraordinary."
"Energy value, 3186 points." Energy value
, 3186 points! !
At this moment, the whole audience suddenly fell silent.
Everyone's pupils slightly dilated. The two male examiners in charge of recording, one of them stopped his hand on the keyboard, and the other heavily poked the pen on the paper, with a rich expression.
That look, it looks like love.
…
The only sound around was breathing.
3186? ? ?
Are you sure it’s not 586? Not 1186? But 3186? !
This number is a bit outrageous!
For a moment, the people present were confused.
The sound of the test bench echoed in everyone’s ears, and their mouths were slightly open.
How is it possible!
What went wrong?
You know, just now a pet beast that led a race had an energy value of only 1214!
How could a medium-sized iron-eating beast have such a high value!
At this time, the three examiners were more shocked than the examinees.
Because they knew that normally, the energy limit of a super-level creature that led a race was only 3,000 points...
The value of this iron-eating beast was not what a creature of a medium-level super-level race should have!
On the contrary, even a young king race cub, after breaking through the super-level, had to go through a certain amount of training to reach this value!
In short, how could this value be possible? It was unscientific!!!
The two male examiners paused for a second while uploading and recording data.
Chief examiner Zhuang Ping looked at Shi Yu and the little Iron-eating Beast with calm expressions on the testing table in disbelief.
They... were not surprised
at all??? Did they expect this value?
The chief examiner was silent, unable to understand.
"Age, less than two years old?"
At the same time, a male examiner stared at other detailed data about Iron-eating Beast on the computer with his mouth wide open, and was shocked again.
Damn, is it really that outrageous? Even if he has been trained since the womb, he can't be that fast, not to mention that he is a Iron-eating Beast who is famous for his laziness!
At this moment, the entire test site No. 10 suddenly fell silent, and there was no sign of recovery.
Around the testing table, all the examinees, whether they had been tested or not, widened their eyes at this moment.
Especially the beastmaster of the Thunder Lion, who was a little dazed and confused.
In this comparison, why does the Thunder Lion feel so rubbish.
Are you sure this is a ferruginous beast? Not a king race cub wearing a ferruginous beast coat?
"Is it OK?"
Shi Yu asked at the testing table.
Eleven is still very strong...
"Yes, it's OK." Below, the chief examiner Zhuang Ping took a deep breath and tried hard to remember Shi Yu's appearance.
At the same time, she judged in her heart that after Shi Yu's basic test data was uploaded, Shi Yu would probably receive a lot of attention.
This is also the purpose of the first test, that is, to allow the Beast Tamer Association to pay attention to potential examinees in advance!
At this time, she did not think that the machine was broken, or that Shi Yu and the others had cheated, because this machine would never have a problem. Even if the pet used amplification skills, even if the pet used shrinking skills, even if the pet was in a bad state, this machine could perfectly detect the true condition of the pet.
This was specially made for the professional assessment and has been adjusted by countless mechanics... Therefore, this value is estimated to be true.
Moreover, looking at the calm look of Shi Yu and the others, you can also know that this value is probably the true energy value of this iron-eating beast!
This is a iron-eating beast whose species level is obviously middle-level extraordinary, but it is comparable to a king-level pet cub! !
Absurd! ! !
If it is not a species mutation, then this beastmaster named Shi Yu must have invested a huge amount of resources in this iron-eating beast to enhance its potential! !
There is only this one possibility.
Despite this, the three high-level beastmaster examiners still couldn't calm down for a long time, and they lost their calmness and composure just now, because this really broke their cognition.
Not to mention them, even a master-level beast tamer like Lin Hongnian who specializes in iron beasts has always felt that Shi Yu's little iron beast is outrageous. Even his iron beast has evolved, but he still feels that it is not as good as Eleven...
"Come back, Eleven." At present, Shi Yu has a general understanding of Eleven's energy situation. It is
a little lower than expected.
But it is still okay.
After all, its real strength lies in those high-proficiency skills.
With the same energy value, in terms of combat power, other pets may not be as good as Eleven.
"Huh!"
Eleven nodded and went back to the beast taming space. At the same time, Shi Yu walked down.
Sure enough, just after testing Eleven's energy value, Shi Yu started to get curious again...
After returning to the institute, he will ask if there is such a machine in the Ancient Capital University. It seems that there should be one!
"This is your information card. Please go to the designated location to take the written test in the afternoon. The official website
of the assessment should also refresh your assessment information later. You can look at any one of them." After Shi Yu came down, the male examiner in charge of recording the data gave Shi Yu the subsequent assessment information card. At the same time, he raised his head curiously and looked at Shi Yu.
Bingyuan City, Pingcheng? This is the birthplace of Shi Yu shown in the data. It sounds familiar. It seems that there are indeed many iron-eating beasts there...
In short, he has to pay close attention to this evil assessor in the future.
"Thank you." Shi Yu took the assessment information card, took a look at it, put it in his pocket, and then walked out of the blockade.
The moment he returned to the assessment crowd, dozens of candidates around him suddenly made a noise!
"Wow, brother, what happened to your Iron-eating Beast!!"
"3186, is it fake?"
"Brother, add a contact method?"
"Can I touch your Iron-eating Beast?"
Even the assessor who just led the Thunder Lion race did not enjoy this treatment from Shi Yu. Shi Yu's scalp suddenly tingled, and then he looked at the blushing spectacled girl who wanted to touch the Iron-eating Beast, and his vigilance was raised to the extreme.
This guy, doesn't he have some kind of copying talent? I can't let her touch it!
"Quiet!!!"
At this time, the chief examiner Zhuang Ping had a dark face and said, "No noise is allowed here. Violation of the rules will be regarded as giving up the assessment. Now stop communicating and the assessment will continue."
The chief examiner spoke, and the examinees laughed, and then the next examinee came on stage to take the test.
In fact, after the test, you can leave directly.
However, after the test, most people stayed there out of curiosity to see what the test results of others were.
At this time, Shi Yu felt the eyes of everyone on him and was silent for a while. Although he also wanted to continue to take a look...but, it felt that it was not suitable to stay here for a long time. Otherwise
, let's leave first?
...
Shi Yu left, and left without anyone noticing.
Not long after he left, two young men with shaved heads hurried to the No. 10 examination venue.
They raised their heads, looking for something in the crowd, but found nothing. The
shaved cousin poked an examinee at random.
The examinee turned around in confusion. The
shaved cousin whispered, "Brother, did you have an extraordinary-level cotton wool worm here before?"
"Are you surprised? Are you surprised?!" the shaved cousin whispered.
The examinee was confused. Damn it, where did these two idiots come from?
"Are you sick? How can your cotton wool worm reach the extraordinary level?"
He turned his head away unhappily. He hadn't finished the test yet and had no time to care about idiots.
"Why are you swearing?" The shaved cousin was immediately dissatisfied when he heard it.
He was beaten by insects before, why can't the green cottonworm be super-ordinary?
Not only can it be super-ordinary, but it can also be very strong, with an energy value of at least 666, and it can't be lower.
At this time, the cousins looked at each other and felt that something was a bit strange. It was strange, Shi Yu should be in this place.
It would be fine if Shi Yu was not found, but why didn't the examiners around him hear about him?
The smart cousins asked another person.
This time they picked a girl who looked easy to talk to. The hairy cousin said, "Beauty, have you ever had a tester named Shiyu here before?"
The girl turned her head, was slightly stunned, and said, "You are talking about that Iron-eating beast..."
"Yes, yes, that beastmaster wearing a Iron-eating beast short-sleeved shirt!" The cousins asked excitedly, and they finally asked the right person.
"Has he finished the test?"
The girl looked around and said, "The test is finished. Do you know him?"
"I think so..."
"Then do you have the contact information of that handsome guy? He left too fast..."
"It's amazing. How did he cultivate that Iron-eating beast with a measurement value of more than 3,000..." The tester couldn't forget it.
Hmm?
The two cousins were stunned. What the hell, a steel beast with an energy value of more than 3,000?
"What are you talking about?" they asked.
"Don't you know that Shi Yu? I'm talking about his steel beast."
The cousins' hearts skipped a beat, and they always felt that something was wrong.
"Isn't the pet he mainly cultivates a green cottonworm? Extraordinary level, a green cottonworm, didn't you see it?"
The female examiner: "???"
"A steel beast with an energy value of 3,000, where did the green cottonworm come from!" She rolled her eyes at the two of them and said, "Do you two have any way to contact each other?"
The cousins Ding Yao and Zhao Rui smiled awkwardly and stepped back jokingly. Damn, something seems to be wrong.
Where are their super-sized extraordinary cotton wool bugs? !!!
The cotton wool bugs were supposed to shock the whole audience!
However, what the hell is a steel beast with an energy value of more than 3,000? The two looked confused.
...
At noon.
After Shi Yu left the Lotus Lake test site, he just found a place to have a bowl of beef ramen.
The basic test had just ended, and no one called to disturb him.
However, people like Senior Sister Lu, Senior Sister Beast Ear Girl, Senior Sister Panda, Master Lin Hongnian, and the Seven Heroes of Archaeology sent him messages yesterday, wishing him good luck in the test.
Fortunately, he was not treated as a complete orphan...
"Hmm" After eating and drinking, Shi Yu fell into a big thought about life.
Written test, written test, it's finally here!
Shi Yu got a little nervous.
"Why not... look at a few more questions?" In the small private room, with the air conditioning on, Shi Yu felt quite moisturized. It felt that it would be okay to wait here until the afternoon... He took out the "5-Year Vocational Examination 3-Year Simulation" and glanced at a question at random.
[The Blue-backed Eagle has an extremely fast flying speed and performs well in combat and reconnaissance. I would like to ask, for a Blue-backed Eagle with a growth level of Extraordinary and mastery of the Proficiency-level Wind Wing skill, generally speaking, what is the fastest speed it can reach? 】
"...Easy, I know how to do this question, so choose C."
