Rapid Biting Rats were low-grade monsters that lived underground. They had great reproductive abilities and were agile. When they were cornered, they were aggressive to a certain degree.
Based on past practices, the education department chose dozens of examination areas at the edge of the fog and set up bait underground to attract low-grade monsters that were similar to Rapid Biting Rats. They were numerous, small, and agile.
When the test started, the education department would release all sorts of stimulating chemicals, infrasound, or ultrasound waves to lure the monsters out of the ground. They would then run around the examination area so that the examinees could kill them.
Rapid Biting Rats were fast and agile. They were as slippery as loaches. With the standards of high school students, it was very difficult to kill them, but their attack power was low. Even if dozens of them surrounded the examinees, they would only be able to leave them covered in wounds.
The examinees had gel protective suits, and their physiological parameters were monitored. There were also invigilators patrolling the area. Usually, no one would die. At most, they would suffer a little.
Illusion Cats were middle-sized feline-type monsters. They had sharp claws and were fast. They had a certain degree of aggression, but to quasi-undergraduate students, they were not powerful enemies that they could not fight against.
What they had to pay attention to were the other high-grade monsters.
Based on past practices, during the second half of the practical test, the chief invigilator would release some of the fiercer monsters so that the best of the examinees could fight against them.
If they wanted to get into the ace courses of famous universities, they could not miss out on these "bosses" who were worth a lot of points.
As Meng Chao thought about it, he queued up with Chu Feixiong and entered a huge military tent to exchange for his exam equipment.
The "currency" they used to exchange for the equipment was their marks from the written test.
This was a special rule that Dragon City's education department came up with to encourage the examinees to be well-versed in both the pen and the sword.
If they wanted to get into college, their written test results would not be included in the final ranking. They would only fight.
But aside from the gel fighting suit, everything else during the practical test had to be exchanged with their marks.
It was the same even for a dagger or a bullet.
The better their written test results were, the more ammunition they could exchange for, and the better quality cold weapons they could use.
The total score for the written test was one thousand two hundred points. The top students from the three famous schools could usually get more than nine hundred points, and they could exchange for around twenty clips, semi-automatic rifles with infrared scopes, and super alloy sabers that could cut through hair. Their hunting efficiency would increase by leaps and bounds.
As for normal examinees, if they only got six or seven hundred points, they would have to think carefully between super alloy sabers and ammunition.
If they wanted to kill more Rapid Biting Rats, they could only exchange for low-grade sabers made with normal materials. They might not even be able to kill two monsters with just one weapon.
As for those who were all brawn and no brains, if they only managed to get three hundred to five hundred points, they would basically be kicked out of the competition to get into famous schools. No matter how great they were with the three basic force execution techniques, it was impossible for them to kill hundreds of Rapid Biting Rats with their bare hands, right?
Of course, there were some special examinees who had weak bodies but had strange talents. For example, machinery, medicine refinement, and spiritual control.
They could on their own. and they had high school, but they could of the exam.
High school students would be, and Dragon students would. of Students could not. could, and could. Students. Skills.
However, to enjoy the bonus points from the competition, one could only apply for a specific major.
But they could. good.. on. on. on, and., but but they could., Rats., and. Students., but them.,..
That was fair.
When Meng Chao and Chu Feixiong walked into the equipment room, they saw this person. His skin was pale, and his eyes were puffy. His lower limbs were weak, but his upper limbs were well-developed. With just one glance, they could tell that he was a veteran shut-in. He wore a strengthened exoskeleton with great firepower, and he looked like a mechanical monster.
This was a mechanical genius, so the two of them had nothing to be jealous of. They smiled at each other and went to choose their equipment.
"Meng Chao?"
There were already a few impressive-looking young men in the equipment room. When one of them saw Meng Chao, his eyes lit up, and he called out to him in a rather friendly manner.
Meng Chao recognized him as Luo Hai, the student council president of Construction High and the person he had shaken during the mental strength test.
By the way, his father was a six-star superhuman living in Dragon City No.1, Soul Breaking Saber Luo Wu.
"Come, let me introduce you."
Luo Hai smiled and waved at him, as if they were very familiar with each other. "This is First High School's Fang Da, and this is Second High School's Xie Feng. They're both outstanding students from their schools. This time, they're the best in Test Area 5523. If you run into them later, hide far away, or else, all the Rapid Biting Rats will be killed by them!"
"And this is …"
Fang Da and Xie Feng's father was also a Heaven Realm superhuman at the same level as Soul Breaking Saber Luo Wu. They were from the same circle, so it was only natural that they were familiar with Luo Hai.
But they had never seen Meng Chao before, so when they saw that he did not look impressive, they could not help but be puzzled.
"This is Meng Chao. He's an outstanding student from Ninth High School, and he's very famous in Tiger Forest Region," Luo Hai said with a smile.
"Ninth High School?"
The elites from First High School and Second High School looked at each other and could not help but snicker.
Meng Chao cast them a glance, and he had a pretty good grasp of the trio's mentality.
Luo Hai might have seemed friendly, but he had his own plans. He reckoned that he wanted to push Meng Chao out to attract the attention of the two elites so that he could avoid fighting against them during the practical test. Then, he could quickly get rid of the monsters and gain points.
First High School's Fang Da was a fatty with a round face. He looked harmless, but his eyes shone brilliantly. He was not someone who was easy to deal with.
Second High School's Xie Feng was rather arrogant, and he had the right to be arrogant.
Even though all of them had their own thoughts, these rich kids who had not graduated from high school still had the determination to improve themselves. They were full of youthful energy, so they were not too annoying.
Meng Chao nodded and greeted Luo Hai before he went to choose his equipment.
Since they were going to fight against agile, small monsters like the Rapid Biting Rats, guns were naturally the best choice. Luo Hai and the other two brought more than one gun and a lot of bullets.
Of course, they also brought cold weapons, or else, if they ran out of bullets and could only catch the rats with their bare hands, it would be a little awkward.
Their main target during the practical test last year was Golden-clawed Spiders, which were suitable for killing with Thunder Rapier.
This year, however, the Rapid Biting Rats were most suitable to be killed with the downward slashes and rolling sabers from One Hundred Saber Techniques.
Practically everyone got a saber.
The bones of the Rapid Biting Rats were really tough, and when they used downward slashes and rolling sabers, the damage to their blades was great. Hence, everyone got a super alloy saber that was of really high quality.
The elites from the famous schools who scored high in the written test usually got more than one saber.
When it was Meng Chao's turn, he fell into deep thought.
'My results might be pretty good, but the outstanding students from the three famous schools aren't to be trifled with. They're all rich kids, and they have a lot of resources supporting them. They might have gone through similar practical tests countless times at home.
'If I fight them head-on, it won't be a problem for me to get into Dragon City University or Agricultural University, but if I want to ensure that I can get into the course I want, I'll have to think about it carefully.
'How should I use the monster knowledge I have right now to kill as many monsters as possible and get points?'
Meng Chao closed his eyes. The structure of the Rapid Biting Rats and the uses of the materials in their bodies appeared in his mind.
After a moment, he came up with a plan and chose Model 35 light grenades.
He decided on the number of grenades first.
Beep, beep!
The price of each grenade was 20 points. His written test score was immediately deducted by 200 points.
Ten grenades and a tactical backpack were sent to his hands by a conveyor belt. It was very easy for him to attach them to the sockets of his gel fighting suit.
Chu Feixiong chose a light machine gun with great firepower. Two intersecting bullet chains wrapped around his chest. With his burly waist that was more than one hundred kilograms, he looked like a war maniac.
When he saw Meng Chao's choice, he could not help but sigh. "Meng Chao, are you going to use anti-monster grenades to hit the Rapid Biting Rats? That's too much of a waste! "
Light hand grenades had always been the most convenient weapon for killing small monsters like snakes, insects, rats, and ants.
But there was a prerequisite. The small monsters had to gather together and form a dense insect swarm or rat swarm.
At that time, if they threw a grenade, it would explode, and a large number of them would die. It would be incredibly satisfying.
But during the practical test of the national college examination, the number of Rapid Biting Rats would not be so high that they would form a rat swarm. Besides, if they were chased by more than one thousand murderous examinees, they would definitely scatter and flee.
These things were fast and agile. Their fur was like steel needles, and they also had a certain degree of defense against shrapnel attacks.
If they threw a grenade, they would at most kill one or two of them. Most of the damage would be wasted, so it would be better to use bullets.
At the very least, bullets were cheap. Even if they used three to five bullets to kill a Rapid Biting Rat, it would be better than wasting a grenade.
Meng Chao smiled and weighed the ten grenades in his hands. He felt that he could still handle them.
He then exchanged for ten light grenades and five even more expensive napalm bombs.
When he hung them on his body, forget about Chu Feixiong, even Luo Hai, Fang Xingjian, and the other examinees who chose their equipment were shocked.
'What's this guy doing? Does he think that his written test marks are too high, so he's going to squander them to satisfy his craving?'
They glared at Meng Chao and wanted to see how he was going to play with the remaining three hundred something points.
Meng Chao chose a Lightning Saber.
Lightning Saber 10. It was a super saber created ten years after Dragon City transmigrated. It was created by gathering more than one hundred ancient sabers from Earth and fusing the essence of dozens of modern sabers into alloys.
It was 0.9 meters long and weighed 4.5 kilograms. Its center of gravity was balanced, and there was a lightning-shaped pattern on the sides of the saber. It could increase its hardness and speed. If an elite swung it at full speed, they could even break the speed of sound.
