Time is something that is fast or slow depending on fate.

Sometimes it feels particularly fast, and sometimes it feels particularly slow.

For example, during the fulfilling process of working overtime, Shi Yu felt that time passed particularly fast.

After working overtime, reading a book, and taking a nap, Shi Yu felt that he had not done anything, and in the blink of an eye it was September 4th.

Shi Yu got up before dawn that day. After all, he had to catch a morning flight. Pingcheng is quite far from the Bingyuan City Airport, so he had to sacrifice some sleep time.

"Ha..." In the villa, Shi Yu yawned and began to pack his luggage, his eyes were sleepy and bleary.

When he finished packing, the express train he had booked was already waiting for him on the roadside. After getting on the train, Shi Yu squinted his eyes and took a short rest.

"Handsome, handsome, we've arrived."

After an unknown amount of time, Shi Yu was meditating to counteract his sleepiness, but when he heard the driver calling him, he was no longer sleepy.

He saw that the driver had a simple and honest face, and realized that he was probably speaking from his heart.

"We're here, thank you for your hard work, Master."

Shi Yu paid the fare with a smile, then got off the car with his luggage and waved goodbye to the driver.

It was called luggage, but it was actually just a small backpack containing some documents that he would need later and a bottle of water. As for more things, they were thrown into the relic bead...

Shi Yu glanced at the time. It was 8:30 in the morning. Did he think he could still eat something?

He looked around and found that the airport was already crowded with people. As for food, Shi Yu found that the only convenient ones were egg pancakes, meat dumplings, grilled sausages, and boiled corn...Since it was still early, Shi Yu bought a cup of soy milk and a meat dumpling and simply dealt with it.

[You can solve it yourself.] Shi Yu said to the eleventh green cotton worm in the relic bead hanging around his neck.

Then, he started to rush into the airport. Now, before Shi Yu boarded the plane, he had a question: if the plane is a mechanical life, whose responsibility is it if the passengers want to go to the toilet? Even if it is a detachable internal environment, any mechanic with a bit of a cleanliness obsession may not be able to be a pilot...

...

Half an hour later, Shi Yu completed a series of registration procedures and passed the security check smoothly. He was originally worried whether the relic beads would be some prohibited items, but it seems that nothing was detected.

Poor safety!

What if someone puts a bomb in the space equipment and takes it on the plane?

Uh... It doesn't seem to be that troublesome, after all, beastmasters are mobile bombs.

"The flight to the ancient capital airport is about to take off..." In the waiting area, Shi Yu heard a broadcast in his ears, and he had already taken out his mobile phone and turned on the scan function.

[Name]: M-50 Thunder

[Attribute]: Mechanical

[Race Level]: Intermediate Commander

[Growth Level]:? ? ?

[Species Skills]: ? ? ?

[Introduction]: Man-made mechanical life, used for combat, transportation, and reconnaissance.

Looking at the information of the aircraft, there are too many points to complain about. Shi Yu didn't know how to complain, but he thought that riding this kind of aircraft should not encounter bird collisions or anything like that. Even if it is an extraordinary bird, it may be shot down before it approaches the aircraft.

"This illustration does not record the detailed skill information of the aircraft... But it is normal. The record is too detailed. What if there is a hijacker?" Shi Yu thought to himself, and he couldn't get over the accident with the plane.

"Well, let's get ready to go." Shi Yu got up from the seat, looked out the glass window, touched the relic bead on his neck, took a deep breath and said.

Icefield City, Icefield Airport.

Soon, the mechanical life plane named M-50 Thunder slowly took off. After boarding, Shi Yu still did not find any difference between it and ordinary planes. Perhaps after encountering danger, it can show the true extraordinaryness of being a mechanical life. Although

Shi Yu wanted to experience personally how the mechanic captain and the plane coped with bad weather and the flying beast in the cockpit, he could not curse the plane to have an accident, because he was not a death god elementary school student, and he did not have the physique to get into trouble wherever he went. The

beautiful white plane passed through the blue sky, dividing the sky into two, until Shi Yu heard the reminder that the flight was about to end, and everything was still calm.

Shi Yu came out of meditation and looked out the window. A strange city came into view, and countless buildings quickly grew from small to large.

...

Gudu Airport.

After arriving at the destination, Shi Yu quickly left the dense sea of ​​people. He didn't like crowded environments very much.

After leaving quickly, Shi Yu took out his mobile phone and began to navigate the route of Gudu University.

The total area of ​​the various campuses and training sites of Gudu University is comparable to the size of the entire Pingcheng District. It is very large. To be precise, the areas of the nine major colleges of Donghuang are very large.

Because of this, the open days of these schools last for about a month. Otherwise, if the number of days is less, those candidates who come from afar may not be able to visit all of them.

Shi Yu did not plan to finish the tour on the first day. He just wanted to get to know the way today.

"The Combat Department of Ancient Capital University is not that good, and the Breeding Department is not that good either, only the Archaeology Department seems to be a bit good?"

Shi Yu muttered to himself while navigating, recalling the gossip summaries on the Internet.

However, this is also relative to other top universities. It is normal for each of the nine top universities to have its own ace major.

Moreover, even if it is an unpopular major, it is not weak at all. There are also elites inside. The students are basically professional beast tamers around 20 years old, and the teachers are all masters. Their strength is unquestionable.

"The nearest one is the North Campus, the territory of the Combat Department. Let's go there first." After Shi Yu confirmed the location, he planned to stroll over.

[Do you want to come out for some fresh air? 】At the same time, Shi Yu asked

Eleven and the Green Cottonworm in the relic bead.

However, the answer was no. Eleven was busy eating because he was tired after the training, while Green Spongeworm was staring at the ice dragon portrait to deepen his impression.

"Okay." Shi Yu shrugged helplessly and could only go shopping by himself.

Shi Yu didn't know how long he had been strolling, but he soon reached the gate of the North Campus of the Ancient Capital University.

Because it happened to be an open day, the number of people gathered here is naturally needless to say. The gate of more than 100 meters is lined up in a row, magnificent, elegant, and outside the gate, the young beastmasters and their pets looked longingly at the name "Ancient Capital University" above, their hearts surging.

This group of beastmasters is very much like parents who bring their children to visit the university, and the children are of course the pets.

"..." Shi Yu looked at other beast tamers who were all accompanied by pets, while he was all alone, and he immediately felt uncomfortable.

In his previous life, when he went out to play with friends, everyone had a girlfriend, but he didn't, so that was fine.

Now, it is not popular to show off girlfriends, but it is popular to summon your rare pets and put them around to show off.

Shi Yu also wanted to show off his giant panda, but unfortunately, the giant panda thought that wandering around was a waste of time and refused to come out, saying that he would call it when there was a fight.

"Then go find a fight!" Shi Yu estimated that with so many young beast tamers here, there must be a place for fighting in the university, so he couldn't help but take a step forward.

It was not known whether it was a coincidence or something else, but before he had taken two steps, a young man in gorgeous clothes holding a selfie stick suddenly shouted not far away:

"On-campus battle field, is there anyone who wants to fight? I'm invincible, you guys are welcome."

His shout immediately attracted a lot of people's attention, and many people looked at him with discussions.

Normal young people really don't dare to shout like that, for fear of social death.

However, when everyone saw him holding the live broadcast device, they immediately understood why he was so brave.

"Hey, anchor?" Many people smiled and thought it was a bit interesting.

Shi Yu also thought it was a bit interesting, but the other party's next sentence made him turn around and leave.

"Requirements: quasi-professional, both pets are extraordinary level, doubles battle, please don't bother if you are of low level."

Goodbye, good guys!

Shi Yu had a stomachache. What kind of person is this? Is there really anyone who would accept this standard?

However, not long after the other party spoke, a young man about the same age as Shi Yu said with interest: "I'll do it."

Shi Yu: "..."

Quasi-professional means a beast tamer who has left the apprenticeship period but has not passed the professional assessment.

Generally speaking, the young people who visit the school here are not professional beast tamers yet. After all, everyone is here to apply for next year's exam.

However, there are generally two levels for non-professional beast tamers.

One is like Shi Yu, whose beast taming space is level one and whose pet is an awakening apprentice.

The other is a quasi-professional whose beast taming space has reached level two and whose pet has reached the extraordinary level but has not yet participated in the assessment.

Obviously, among the young beast masters who plan to apply to the Ancient Capital University, there are already some who have reached the second level of the beast taming space and have cultivated two extraordinary pets.

"There are still four months, no rush, by then Eleven and Chong Chong should also be extraordinary."

Shi Yu comforted himself.

"Classmate, do you want to play?" Sure enough, the beast masters who came to the North Campus to hang out are not idle. After one person took the lead, someone else came to invite Shi Yu to play.

Shi Yu glanced at the other party and asked, "What level is your pet."

"Low-level extraordinary." The boy asked naturally.

Shi Yu said, "Okay, I can just barely..."

The boy asked, "What about you?"

"Nine-level awakening?"

Boy: (￣_, ￣)

He rolled his eyes, turned around and left, thinking that fighting with Shi Yu was a waste of time, leaving Shi Yu with a confused look.

Hey! Hey! Hey! Who are you looking down on!

Transcendent level is great, I awaken the ninth-level iron-eating beast and it is not without the ability to fight!

"Ah this..." Anyway, Shi Yu looked at the back of the other party leaving, speechless for a while.

Afterwards, Shi Yu analyzed it and found that the iron-eating beast might not be unable to fight against the real extraordinary creatures.

Of course, the premise is that the other party's skill proficiency is not high, the race level is not high, and the beastmaster is not a strengthening talent...

eh, it seems to be a little unsafe.

"Forget it, forget it, let's not fight, just watch." Shi Yu yawned, just strolled around, and then went back to sleep!

...

There are still many battle venues in the North Campus of Gudu University.

During the open days, the school also supports young beast masters who come here to visit to compete.

As for the referees, of course they are the seniors who stay in school as volunteers. As long as the school gives some credits, there are still many people willing to stay and guest-star as NPCs.

"Damn, so fierce."

Shi Yu walked around and came to a battle venue. The scale of the venue is larger than the venue for the competition for the Evolution Holy Spring that day. It is divided into several venues and it is very lively at this time.

He just came to the edge of a venue and heard someone next to him exclaiming.

Shi Yu looked at the field and saw two beast masters who were probably not much older than him fighting.

One of the pets was a black water crocodile and the other was a ground rock lizard. The growth level of both pets had reached the extraordinary level, so the power of their moves was extremely strong.

This was because after the pet entered the extraordinary level from the awakening stage, the energy level would undergo a qualitative change.

If the energy of the awakening pet was like a weak air flow, then the energy of the extraordinary pet was like a thin stream, with a higher quality.

Such changes in energy bring changes to pet skills, which means that the power of skills increases! !

"Boom!!!"

On the field, the sandstorm stirred up by the ground lizard formed a sand wall. Although this is a low-level skill, judging from the condensation speed and wall structure, the proficiency has been trained to the mastery level.

"Roar!!!"

However, even such a sand wall was easily penetrated by a water bomb condensed in the mouth of the black water crocodile, and the skill successfully hit the ground lizard.

Intermediate skill, water bomb!

Judging from the skill proficiency, it has not reached the mastery level, but due to the attribute restraint, it still gave the ground lizard a heavy blow.

However, unlike the short-lived novice battles, the battle here lasted a long time. After being blasted several meters away, the Earth Rock Lizard stood up without any hesitation and glared at its opponent.

"Water flow enhancement talent, element resistance talent..."

During the confrontation between the two, countless water element waves surrounded the beastmaster of the Black Water Crocodile. This is a very common water flow enhancement talent, which can be used to enhance the water skills of the Black Water Crocodile. Although it is a skilled water flow cannonball, after the enhancement just now, in terms of power, it is probably not inferior to the mastery level water flow cannonball without the water flow enhancement talent.

The talent of the beastmaster of the Earth Rock Lizard is even simpler and more brutal. It is the elemental resistance talent, which is known as the panacea of ​​the strengthening system. It can make the pet have a certain resistance to any elemental attack. Therefore, even if the Earth Rock Lizard faces the water cannonball that restrains itself, it will still directly resist it. It looks like it can fight for 300 rounds.

It is really popular to play with talents in the confrontation between semi-professional and professional levels.

"Fortunately, I don't have a combat talent." Watching their battle, Shi Yu smiled in his heart.

After this battle, I am afraid that these two beastmasters will be weak for a while, and I don't know if they have prepared supplements.

His skill illustrations are still good. He only needs to add points in daily life, and he can command casually in battle. He doesn't need to work so hard like other beast masters, and he also needs to invest a lot of physical strength and energy.

However, in the future, Shi Yu may suffer a little loss when he encounters a beast master with enhanced talent. The victory or failure at that time will depend on the effect of his points on the improvement of pets, and whether it can compare with the effect of others using enhanced talents to increase the combat power of pets.

"If it's this level, I feel that Eleven should be able to fight, but it's estimated that it's the same as the previous battle against the ice dragon. He has to fight with full strength and kill it in one hit to have hope..."

Shi Yu quickly judged the gap between Eleven and the two pets on the field, but this is also because the race levels of these two pets are not high, neither of them is the leader of the race, and their growth levels are just entering the extraordinary level. Otherwise, if the opponent's attributes are stronger, Eleven might not have a chance.

Next, Shi Yu continued to stroll around.

He found that those who dared to show off and fight here, the growth level of the pets they brought out was no lower than the extraordinary level.

But this is normal. There are still four months before the professional assessment. At this time, the pets have not reached the extraordinary level. If the ancient capital university is taken as the goal, the hope is too slim.

At the same time, Shi Yu also found that these extraordinary pets have at least one mastery level skill, and occasionally two simple combination skills can be seen. This made Shi Yu sigh that these young beast masters preparing for the professional assessment are indeed something...

His opponents in four months will not seem to be the same people who competed for the Evolution Holy Spring.

Those people, like him, have not yet reached the standard for participating in the professional assessment.

If he were to take the career test at the Ancient Capital Association, he would probably be facing a group of beast tamers who have reached level 2 in their beast taming space and are equipped with two extraordinary pets as standard…

In fact, since the career test is held once a year, some second-generation beast tamers who can level up two levels in a year may even have three pets contracted. As for leading the young

of their species, it shouldn’t be uncommon by then… “I understand. Although they are all newcomers, this is just like the Chunin exams in Naruto. Who can consider two Jinchuriki and a five-gate Taijutsu monster as Genin?”

As we all know, Genin is the strongest.

By the same token, it is not impossible that there are a group of monsters hidden in the career test.

No wonder Lu Qingyi said that the career assessment of the Ancient Capital Association is challenging and that he should use the Relic Pearl to develop quickly...

As far as Shiyu knows, there is no unified passing standard for the annual career assessment, but promotion is proportional. Therefore, it is not that you can pass the assessment just by reaching the professional level and having an extraordinary pet.

It is also because of this that the career assessment in these big cities is more difficult than that in small cities, because if you pass the career assessment in a big city, you have a greater chance of being noticed by top universities and top companies.

This is actually the same on Earth. A Fortune 500 company will never recruit people from an ordinary third-tier university, but graduates from Peking University and Tsinghua University can be snatched up by various companies. The career assessment is also so realistic.

This model actually creates a strange phenomenon.

A group of people who could easily pass the vocational examination in small cities, but they have not given up and have applied for the examination in big cities for several years but have not passed it. The strength of these people is estimated to be ridiculously strong. After all

, there is no age or number of times for the vocational examination, and they have obviously accumulated more time! It is even possible to meet an 80-year-old man in the vocational examination.

Of course, it is encouraging for such elderly people to participate in the vocational examination, but it is estimated that no university or enterprise will be optimistic about it... Even if the other party won the first place in the year, he has no potential at all. For example, Gudu University has certain restrictions on the age of applicants.

Therefore, strength is important, but the potential and talent shown are also important.

"It's not a big problem, it's not a big problem..."

Although Shi Yu felt a little pressure, after all, he started a lot later, but he still felt that it was not a big problem.

Just add some points and it will be done, and there is no need to rush, anyway, he is not pursuing the first place in the same class, passing the assessment is considered a victory!

...

This afternoon, Shi Yu was watching the battle, mainly watching the performance of the beastmasters' beastmaster talents

. He would not admit that he was looking for some beast-eared girl, but unfortunately, he watched for an afternoon and found that these beastmasters basically had enhanced talents, and he didn't see any special combat talents at all, which made Shi Yu very disappointed.

As evening approached, Shi Yu left the North Campus Arena and went to the ten-star hotel he had booked in advance.

Although he could stay at the Relic Pearl, since he had money, it was not bad to enjoy himself.

That night, Shi Yu had a big meal in the hotel. After eating, he returned to the room and lay on the bed to meditate with a piece of ethereal stone.

After a day of playing, it was time to work hard...

After a while, Shi Yu opened his eyes.

"I didn't add any today. I feel so cute. One piece seems to be not enough for me. I feel that with my current concentration, maybe two pieces can be used at the same time!"

"No, three pieces!"

"Wait a minute, there are dozens of pieces in stock. Three pieces don't seem to be enough. Damn it, if only I could put a spirit gathering array like the spirit stones in fairy novels!"
