In the last half an hour, the two of them killed sixteen mutants together and collected eight points each. As the black hexahedron vibrated, they arrived at the Dome Cage.
According to the Queen of Pain, the dark creature was trapped in the Dome Cage and could only give orders to the mechanical creatures. There was no way it could leave the Dome Cage.
As a sophisticated mechanical device, the Dome Cage could self-destruct to prevent the dark creature from escaping. However, it could only be activated from the outside and the mechanical creatures couldn't get close.
Otherwise, even ten Li Xiang and Baimiya wouldn't be able to fight a dark creature that only ate mutants.
Since there was still time, Li Xiang checked the information of his ultimate trial.
[Trial Participant: Li Xiang]
[Points: 83698]
[Overall Rank of Zone 1: 2]
He was secretly pleased to see the bright red number of second place. This time, Baimiya didn't cheat him. She had 85985 points and was temporarily in first place. The third trial participant still had 62,000 points. After today, there would be five days left. Even if he could catch up, he wouldn't be able to widen the gap.
He glanced at the list. The score for the top 3,000 was 26,000. At this rate, it would be harder to accumulate points in the later stages. He wouldn't be able to reach 80,000 points by the end of the trial.
It wouldn't be a problem for them to stay in the top 3,000. Although it felt like cheating, they had relied on their own abilities to get there. Killing mutants didn't give them points out of thin air. If they were found to have cheated, they would have been punished at the beginning of the hunt.
"Yes, it's a pity that we don't have enough time. Can we continue to earn points after we finish off that dark creature?" Baimiya wanted more. Apart from the points, she was more interested in the life-and-death battles against mutants.
In the future, when they became magic users, their enemies would gradually shift from humans to mutants and calamities, as well as some hostile factions. Accumulating experience as soon as possible would help them grow.
After all, mutants were different from most creatures. They couldn't adapt to fighting them. Even if they were one level higher, they could still be killed.
"In your dreams. This is their backyard. They've been kind enough to let us' steal 'for so long. You want to rob them? Be careful not to get punished. " Li Xiang smiled. He had a premonition that if the two of them went crazy and cleared out the points here, they would definitely be punished.
It had to be controlled to a degree that the referees would allow.
It turned out that Li Xiang's guess was correct.
Countless big shots took the time to look at the contents of the Ultimate Trial. As for the two people whose points soared, not only did they shock all the trial-takers in the Trial Area, but they also attracted the attention of these big shots.
Some of them could see what was happening from a personal perspective. When everything was switched to their perspective, they could not help but laugh. These two were considered weirdos. Others were hunting xenogeneics, but they were taking a greater risk to hunt xenogeneics. It seemed like they were going to do something bigger.
However, as long as they didn't go overboard, they would be appreciated and wouldn't be punished.
On the other side, in the final trial's judging area.
Rocca, who was still wearing a white shirt and trousers, was also amused by Li Xiang's actions.
Rocca, who had been stuck at the threshold of a Level 3 Magician, finally made a breakthrough in the last player assessment and became a Guardian. He was also promoted from a teaching assistant in the Recursive Steam University of Technology to a Beginner Lecturer. As he was still a Mechanic, his status instantly soared after he became a player, and he received the attention and invitation of many organizations.
This time, the organizer of the Subcontinent Continent was Wessex. Naturally, they invited many mechanical experts to be the referees.
From the beginning until now, he had been secretly paying attention to Li Xiang's movements.
After Old Ghost hid in City 0982, he was responsible for paying attention to Li Xiang's recent situation. The old guy said that he didn't care about this disciple of his, but in fact, he treasured him a lot. He was afraid that Li Xiang would die before he could walk out. He even asked Rocca to move more in the mechanical world so that his old friends could pay more attention to this young man.
After confirming that Li Xiang's results in the final trial wouldn't be bad, Rocca could arrange resources for him according to Old Ghost's wishes.
After hearing that Li Xiang had signed a contract with Maria's laboratory, Rocca didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This Maria was really restless. She would go wherever there were people. However, she had been paying attention to Li Xiang since the Polar Night. The conditions of her laboratory were quite good, so Rocca didn't stop her.
Looking at the young man sitting calmly on the screen, Rocca felt like years had passed.
Occasionally, he would go to Hou City to be an ordinary examiner. After bumping into Li Xiang, he would guide him to the Polar Night and then recommend him to Old Ghost. He watched as Li Xiang grew up step by step. Now, he finally seemed to have some achievements.
Rocca was very happy.
As a university lecturer, he had seen many talented students and taught many of them. However, most of them died or gave up in the end. This world was cruel and bloody. Seeing his former students die in the mouths of mutants and Calamities made him very sad.
Therefore, a young educator like him cherished every student that was worth cultivating before he completely cut off this kind of relationship.
However, he still frowned when he realized that Li Xiang and Old Ghost were approaching the dark creature. He touched his earpiece and said in a low voice, "This is judge 09665. The first and second contestants of the first section of the Subcontinent continent are on their way to the Dome Cage. Should we stop them and send them back to the hunting area?"
After a few seconds, a deep and magnetic voice suddenly sounded in the earpiece of all the judges.
"No need."
Even though it was just a short word, Rocca felt a surge of excitement.
Everyone in the field of mechanics was familiar with this voice.
It was a legend, a belief, a figure that all mechanics were chasing after.
Sylo Wessex.
He had actually answered his question in person, and in the form of a regional notification. It was obvious that he had been paying attention to these two kids.
Even if it was the ultimate trial, the Five Kings wouldn't pay attention to it. After all, they had lived for a long time and had witnessed the rise and fall of countless people. They didn't have the time to watch the trials of these young people.
Even someone as strong as Bai Dongxue didn't pay much attention to him before he became a player. It was said that he had made a breakthrough last year, which was quite a piece of news in the circle of players. However, none of the Five Kings had said anything about it.
After all, there were nine levels among the players. A new player of one level wouldn't cause much of a ripple.
Rocca calmed himself down and continued to watch Li Xiang and Old Ghost on the screen. The number of observers had exceeded ten thousand.
This meant that ten thousand players were watching the two of them. That was quite a treat.
Inside the black hexahedron.
Li Xiang stood up quickly after he finished meditating. Baimiya had also finished treating her wounds. Her white skin was covered in scars. Luckily, the Bai family had a special healing hot spring. After soaking in it, the dead skin would peel off and new skin would grow. There wouldn't be any scars left.
Otherwise, it would be no different from disfigurement.
However, the ferocious and densely packed wounds were proof of Baimiya's hard work. People who cherished their lives couldn't go far.
Li Xiang felt that their every move was being closely monitored by a group of people. Even if they weren't being watched one-on-one, someone would at least be watching them. If it were the original them, they probably wouldn't have watched them if they didn't know them.
However, now that their points had skyrocketed, they would definitely be closely watched.
Therefore, to be on the safe side, he had the Queen of Pain pretend to be a mechanical creature instead of a "mechanical life form". He didn't want to be sucked into a whirlpool of trouble because of this huge secret. He also didn't want the Queen of Pain to be turned into a pile of spare parts for research.
Li Xiang was also the one who told Baimiya about the dark creatures. His goal was to obtain the Elementium Crystal in the mechanical device.
After the black hexahedron stabilized, the surrounding walls suddenly became transparent.
What appeared in front of them was a prison of light, suspended in the sky far away. It was pitch black inside, and occasionally, black tentacles and indescribable objects would hit the walls of light. Just the aura it gave off was enough to suffocate the two of them.
The Queen of Pain frowned. Even though she couldn't be ordered around by the dark creatures, she could still be suppressed.
The structure of the prison of light was very dreamy. To a mechanical enthusiast, it was a feast for the eyes.
"These high-end mechanical devices are beyond the scope of my imagination. It's just as the teachers said. You can only come into contact with true mechanical studies after you enter university." Li Xiang couldn't help but sigh in admiration. Some of the mechanical devices he had come into contact with before had shocked him greatly. Since the development of the Seven Continents, the progress of mechanical studies was beyond his imagination. It was no wonder that the man standing at the top was considered to be on the same level as the Five Kings.
"It seems like He Yi and the others are here for the things inside." Li Xiang walked to the transparent wall of light and tapped on a rectangular box on the prison of light. It was filled with sparkling and translucent particles of crystals.
Seeing so many Source Form Crystals, it was no wonder He Yi went crazy. Even his breathing had become incomparably rapid. This was the rhythm of making a fortune.
After listening to Li Xiang's explanation, Baimiya was completely dumbfounded.
"You're saying that this small particle is worth one billion Blue Astral Credits? Damn, there are at least hundreds of thousands of them in here! " Baimiya felt a little dizzy. Even if she was a successor ranked in the top 100 of the sequence, after entering the Chronometer Tower Consortium's university, she would not receive more than 500 million Blue Astral Credits per month.
This small particle was worth two months of her Blue Astral Credits? No wonder it was said that being a mechanic was a money-burning profession. This was more than just money burning …
Apart from Wessex, was there really any other organization that could operate such a device? And they wanted to destroy this device and plunder the resources inside!
At this moment, even Baimiya felt like she was going crazy.
