Chapter 339 History Review
Hongshan College has worked hard to prepare five arenas of the same specifications for the five grades of students, designed five super-large maps of the same size, and did not have any special emphasis on publicity and distribution resources. It is the perfect five-point year-end test.
However, reality is extremely utilitarian. Almost the moment the arena is open to the audience, popularity flocks to one of them.
The first-grade test venue was already crowded ten minutes after opening. In addition to more than 9,000 seats, the college also designed station seats, siding seats and hanging seats very thoughtfully, making the audience area extremely popular... Even so, more people were still guarding the teleportation entrance on the ground, constantly repeating the whispers like curses.
"Brother, do you have a vote..."
"Brother, do you want a vote..."
In comparison, the popularity of the other four arenas is terrible. The graduates who have received the most attention in the past can only see sparse spectators in the audience. The picture is like the greasy middle-aged man in the Shengyuan Academic Group... Most of them are still obviously impatient on their faces, as if they only won the last prize when the unit distributed welfare tickets, and a few were even more excessive. Although they were sitting in the arena of the graduates, they were holding portable projection magic tools in their hands and watching the first-grade broadcast, which was simply a cheating devil on the scene!
For this unprecedented arena, the performance of the audience is simply a shame.
The morale of the graduates naturally also declined.
In previous years, every year, it was the highest moment of the college’s life. The entire college and even the demon circle of the Great Qin Empire would focus on, paying attention to the "latest masterpiece" of the highest demon school in the Great Qin Empire.
To measure the level of a magical institution is nothing more than what achievements the mentors have made in cutting-edge theories and what kind of students they have cultivated. In comparison, the quality of students is undoubtedly more important, because it means the future of the empire. Hongshan Academy has never let down the glory it carries, and has brought elite level magical priests to the Qin State and even human civilization one after another.
Even in a relatively mediocre year, the magic priest who completed his studies from Hongshan College has the capital to stand out in the world. Moreover, the graduates this year cannot be said to be mediocre. As a leader among his peers, even though Ge Cun cannot compare with Yuan Shi, he rarely makes a fool of himself in many college exchange activities and is a very reliable backbone talent.
Now when his classmates are depressed, he is the first to stand up and inspire people.
"Our year-end test was not originally for others to show. What's the so-called popularity? Did we study hard at Hongshan Academy for five years to attract attention? Is an excellent transcript more important than the cheers and cheers of ignorant gangsters?"
These words are undoubtedly correct. Many people nodded after hearing this, and their frustration improved. But some people were still indignant.
"But at least it's a flag-catching battle here, and there are not even many people paying attention to it. The glorious tradition of Hongshan Academy is about to be shamed..."
Ge Cun said with a solemn expression: "Don't involve your incompetence on the academy! If you really want to add luster to the academy, you can show your strength that is eye-catching in the flag-winning battle! The schedule of this test is quite long, several times more than the flag-winning battle in previous years, and popularity will continue to change over time. The hotness of the first grade is an overdrafted hotness. Except for those two, the rest of the people are still only at the level of freshmen, which is far from us, the real graduates. As long as we can really show the level that graduates should have, there is no need to worry about the audience's reaction."
These words are also true. Although not everyone can convince them, they can at least make everyone shut up and unable to refute them.
Ge Cun, this student who has been moving forward like a template for top students since he entered the school, and has not walked in the distance or took a long way. For a long time, he has been the facade of Hongshan College. Although he is not as dazzling as those peerless geniuses and has been defeated repeatedly in many top-level competitions, but many people who run schools look at it, such people can really represent the true level of a college. Those who have too many talents beyond their peers can shine wherever they go, but geniuses with general meaning need to be meticulously crafted to shine. Ge Cun's brilliance is the work of Hongshan College, so...
So when will Bai Xiao and his team start the test?
——
At the same time, Bai Xiao was waiting quietly in the arena.
Not far away, there was a group of noisy classmates surrounding him, who were also Bai Xiao’s next test opponents. Since entering the arena, these people were excited like wild beasts in estrus. The pleasure of being focused on by the crowd was obviously too intense for most young people.
Although everyone knows that the focus is only on the Snow Mountain duo, and the rest are just adding heads, so what about adding heads? The Empire commemorates the National Day of the victory of the War of Independence. The protagonist has never been a member of the people, but it does not affect the family carnival of the Suspension!
However, in the carnival atmosphere, Bai Xiao was not happy at all, his face was as solemn as an ice sculpture, sitting upright on the seat, and not talking to anyone - even though Qingyue, Zuo Qingsui and others were standing not far away and talking softly,
When they came to the arena, they were competitors. When competing with Qingyue, Bai Xiao would not feel relaxed at all. Before the start of the main competition, Bai Xiao calmed down and sorted out his combat strategy again.
In terms of direct combat power, he should have an overwhelming advantage. No matter how far Qingyue has walked on the road of the demonic path and how deep he dived, Bai Xiao has enough confidence to beat her... But this combat power advantage has no direct meaning. Qingyue will only go head-on with Bai Xiao unless she doesn't want to play.
The key to victory or defeat lies in the rules. Under different rules, the two people have very different space for playing. The so-called rules, to put it simply and easily understood, is "map design".
Zheng Liming once gave the simplest demonstration for Bai Xiao. Both sides of the competition occupy half of the game in a wide space, each with their own power and an important role played by a large number of cheap labor. Students need to show their magical powers and make full use of map resources to win the final victory.
Although it is just a simple demonstration map, its complexity has surprised Bai Xiao. According to the map prepared by the academy for year-end tests, the complexity is far more than ten times higher.
The more complex the map is, the more obvious the advantages of Qingyue will be. Therefore, Zheng Liming formulated a beheading plan for Bai Xiao, and directly simplified the map responsible to maximize his combat advantage.
However... the plan still cannot keep up with the changes. Because the year-end test plan was suddenly adjusted, the college council made a lot of optimization and improvements to the inventory test map, which not only expanded the map scale and added a large number of outsourcing temporary workers, but also changed the map script beyond recognition. Therefore, this made it difficult for Bai Xiao’s original plan to proceed as usual.
According to the original design, most of the "key characters" played by real people on the test map can be killed with force. When the magic tool library is fully operational, Bai Xiao can even fight head-on with multiple magic master-level role-players at the same time.
After all, it is difficult for masters who are truly good at practical combat and have a deep experience to be recruited into this kind of test to be temporary workers...
With such a huge combat advantage, Bai Xiao can crush most of the map rules and give full play to his advantages. He can even do more extreme things. After the game, he will directly kill the opponent's home court, and withstand the huge disadvantage of away games, and eliminate all opponents with force.
Zheng Liming and Bai Xiao worked together to make a deduction. Without considering the variable Qingyue, everyone in the same grade combined with one or two magic masters could not stop Bai Xiao from making all the students appear before he was hit hard.
But Qingyue's combat power is really hard to estimate. Her ability to fight alone cannot be too high anyway, but her role in the team is hard to say, so...
Just as Bai Xiao was doing the final deduction alone, he suddenly heard a burst of exclamation coming from beside him.
"The battle to seize the flag has begun!"
Bai Xiao's attention couldn't help but distract him.
The battle to seize the flag is a battle for graduates.
This is the highlight of the year at the end of each year in previous years. All teachers and students of the college will put in the greatest effort to achieve the most exciting results. However, this year's flag-taking battle was caught by the freshmen, which was a little embarrassing.
But at least at the academy level, the graduates did not feel wronged. The configuration of the flag-taking battle is still the highest. Although the budget standards of the five arenas in the public budget book are the same, everyone knows that the tests of graduates must contain the most effort.
So even though their test is about to begin, freshmen will still be distracted to pay attention to the first battle to win the flag.
And when the live broadcast picture becomes clear, there are more exclamations.
"It's actually... a war between humans and demons."
"The college is really good at capital."
"It's not just a matter of funds... This is the first time someone has recreated a human-demon war in a virtualized map, right?"
Accompanied by the noise of the students, Bai Xiao's eyes also turned to the projection magic tool in the lounge.
In the picture, the graduates led by Ge Cun were suddenly thrown into the battlefield like purgatory on earth!
Almost immediately, a student on the edge of teleportation was seriously injured by a hideous monster. The protective magic tool on his body swayed, and his image became half-fixed and half-true. That was a sign that he was about to be judged to leave.
Fortunately, as graduates, the students also showed a very high tactical quality and immediately reacted. Some were responsible for covering and some were responsible for medical treatment. Ge Cun directly turned into a fort and used a series of elemental domain magical powers to shatter the sneak attacked monsters.
"Retreat quickly, this is just a meat livestock that the demons grazed. The real demons will soon come!"
Ge Xian was instantly integrated into the scene, and played the role of a team leader during the human-demon war without any sense of incongruity.
And as he expected, just after several monsters were crushed by the students, huge shadows soon fell from the sky.
"Demons..."
"Is it the demon?"
"Is it real?"
Regarding everything about the demon race, today's humans can only understand the scales and claws. Everyone knows that the war that broke out 2,500 years ago almost destroyed human civilization, and they also know that humans drew strength from the invaders and established the huge civilization today. However, most people have only seen the image of the demon race in textbooks. A few so-called specimens have also been infected with various doubts in the long history.
So often, people simply use their imagination to complete the image of the demon race. In picture albums and film and television works, the demon race presents the strange images in people's cognition, and the effect is more acceptable than the rigorous research in textbooks.
However, at this moment, the darkness that covered the sky and the sun in the picture was beyond everyone's perception.
"Academy... Isn't this a bit too harsh? Is it a case of the graduates performing to destroy the troupe?"
"Thank you for five years, then shine for a moment? Seniors and sisters are so pitiful..."
But soon a few lightning bolts burst out, but shot straight from the ground.
The dazzling thunder column was like a substantial spear, piercing through the darkness of the dome, and tearing out a deafening roar in the darkness.
Afterwards, a group of humans in strange costumes drove quickly in a cloud car shining with lightning and gathered with the graduates.
"Ah, it's the Thunder clan..."
"The elemental messenger at the beginning of the demon invasion? It seems that it will soon perish due to the elemental depletion..."
"But at the beginning, they were the only ones who could fight human civilization."
Obviously, the screenwriter of the Flag-Seizing Battle did not intend to make things difficult for the students, but just gave them a warning at the opening. After passing the thrilling opening, the development of the following development slowed down, and the theme changed to how to cooperate with the ancestors to fight the demons. During this period, whether the student team should overcome difficulties as a whole or split into multiple teams to compete for cooperation depends on the students' own judgment and choices.
Before the students could see the next scene, a harsh ringtone was already ringing in the lounge.
Everyone became nervous immediately.
Because this is the ringtone that their test is turned on.
No matter how exciting the seniors’ demon war is, it is not the time to pay attention. After all,... the students are strictly prohibited from participating in gambling, so no matter who gets the Haotian Banner in the end or simply is wiped out, it has nothing to do with them.
What is important is what results they can get in their own tests.
Judging from the map of the flag-taking battle just now, the scale of this year-end test has completely exceeded imagination!
Everyone was nervous, and Bai Xiao stood up first and prepared to walk out of the room.
But as soon as I took the steps, the scenery around me suddenly changed.
After the alarm rings, the college will no longer warm up the students, so everyone in the first grade was pulled from the lounge to the virtualized map in the arena at this moment.
The next moment, Bai Xiao heard a sigh not far away.
Chapter completed!
