The rewards for the two hundredth to two hundredth place were a Liquefied Origin Substance Combat Uniform and a thousand standard tubes of Origin Substance Gas. Li Xiang's memories of Bai Haiting's liquefied Origin Substance Combat Uniform were still fresh in his mind. Even though there was a possibility that he couldn't use weapons, its terrifying defensive capabilities were not something that ordinary Origin Substance Combat Uniforms could compare to.
Unless it was a special bullet, it would be very difficult to penetrate this kind of defensive Origin Substance Combat Uniform.
Moreover, the rewards clearly indicated that one could choose a type that covered the entire body like Bai Haiting's, or a type that covered only part of the body.
Compared to this Liquefied Origin Substance Combat Uniform, the one hundred hundred standard tubes of Origin Substance Gas was nothing.
Exchanging the one thousand standard tubes of Origin Substance Gas for Magic Resonance Stones and some other resources, they would be able to cover the cost of learning their first magic trick. On the other hand, students from player universities would need to spend many years to gather enough resources for a single magic trick.
The rewards after that were a hundred standard tubes of Origin Substance Gas for every level, and the top sixteen would receive one thousand five hundred standard tubes of Origin Substance Gas. Moreover, after reaching the top one hundred and twenty, the rewards for each rank were different, and there was a large list to choose from.
The list included four types of rewards: weapons, equipment, magic scrolls, player pointers, and Origin Substance resources. The top sixteen trial-takers could choose one reward from each of the four types, which could be considered an all-around enhancement. It was simply too awesome.
Only the first place reward was a mystery prize, and the gift was actually given by Duke Siluo himself.
The mystery prize sounded very interesting. As the organizer, the player who was on par with the Five Kings, and the strongest Mechanic, Duke Siluo's name alone was enough to make people look forward to it.
The announcement of the rewards instantly gave all the participants a boost of adrenaline, reigniting their passion for battle.
If the final trial was a competition for the universities and players, then the final ranking was a performance for everyone to see.
Being able to unleash one's full potential and display one's strongest side might be able to enter the eyes of a certain player and obtain an incomparably solid backer.
After all, compared to those messy organizations, the protection of a single player was the most reliable.
The ten people around the round table each had their own thoughts. Li Xiang should be the most relaxed one among them. He had already joined Night Shadow and Maria's Laboratory, and he had the support of Wang Bo's financial group. He was also a member of Serpent Machinery. In terms of resources and background, he was considered to be quite good.
He only had one goal, and that was to successfully enter Lighthouse Academy. In the final ranking competition, he could only do his best to fight for a higher ranking. As for Night Shadow's mischievous behavior, he subconsciously ignored it.
He always felt that this Serpent's image was very different from the other people's description.
"If you don't have any other questions, you can go back and rest now. I'll bring you to the Wessex headquarters tomorrow." Felix pointed at the delicacies on the table. "Finish these. They are all very precious ingredients that will help with your cultivation and recovery."
Felios stood up as soon as he finished his sentence. The other participants also stood up to greet him. Felios scanned the crowd and suddenly said to Li Xiang, "Come with me."
"Yes, sir." Li Xiang bowed slightly, but all kinds of thoughts were running through his mind. Could it be that Felios was looking for trouble with him because of Night Shadow?
Looking at the gentle smile on Felios' face, Li Xiang became even more vigilant.
These big shots were all smiling tigers. They were smiling on the surface, but in their hearts, they were swearing.
Felios brought Li Xiang to his temporary residence. As soon as he entered the door, Li Xiang felt a strong blocking force. It should be something like a magic barrier that could suppress the weight in his body completely.
Even the flow of magic particles had become extremely slow.
In such an environment, Li Xiang was just an ordinary person with a physical body. Although he was physically strong, it was difficult for him to use any means.
"Feel it?" Felios pointed at the red sofa in the living room and went to the counter to pour some wine. "What would you like to drink?"
"Hmm, what a strong blocking force." Li Xiang glanced at the counter. There were all kinds of strange-looking bottles, but he did not recognize any of them. "Uh, whatever."
"How about tequila? It's a famous liquor from the Blue Planet. Try it. It took me a lot of effort to collect it from all over the world. "Felios did not ask for his opinion at all. He had already poured two glasses of tequila for himself.
Felios walked over with two golden wine cups in his hands. He took a sip of the wine and let out a pleasant sigh.
"This is really good wine. The old guys in the Chronometer Tower are very fond of these luxuries. They are even willing to exchange magic scrolls for them. Unfortunately, the craft of making wine has been lost for a long time. The ones I can find are all preserved during the Blue Planet era and strengthened with magic. Every glass is one less glass."
From Felios' expression, it could be seen that he really liked tequila. Recalling some of his life in his previous life, Li Xiang was stunned. He immediately took the glass and asked, "Sir Felios, do you have salt and lemon slices here?"
"Well, it's not hard to get them if you want." Felios looked at him in confusion. He gently waved his right hand and a long and narrow magic wand appeared in his hand. The magic wand was dark, like the roots of an old tree. Its surface was uneven, and there was an emerald gem wrapped around the top of the wand. It shone with a dazzling light and there were obvious magic particles condensed on it.
Felios casually waved the magic staff in his hand, and the space around him twisted. A little green elf flew out and danced around him for a while. Felios chanted a few words in the language of the elves, and the little elf went back into the void.
About a minute later, the Dark Green Fairy flew back with a jar of salt and a few slices of lemon.
It placed the items in Li Xiang's hand and flew around him a few times with a curious look on its face.
It's real, it's a living creature!
The aura of the little emerald sprite was obviously the aura of a living being, and not the aura of those fabricated magical creatures. Li Xiang immediately thought of the Void Creature summoned by the Shadow of the Night when the thunderstorm clouds were calmed.
Was this the power of a sorcerer? A sorcerer could summon creatures into this world and even enslave the legendary elves to do odd jobs.
Li Xiang licked his lips. He first sprinkled the salt on the back of his hand and held the tequila with his thumb and index finger. He then used his ring finger and middle finger to pick up a lemon slice. He quickly licked the salt off the tequila and finished the tequila in one gulp. He then took a bite of the lemon slice. The whole process was done in one go. No matter the taste or the drinking technique, it was superb.
This was the most traditional way of drinking tequila. Felios did not know much about ancient history, but he could see that Link's actions were skillful and wonderful.
He took a lemon slice and imitated Li Xiang's actions. He drank another glass and immediately let out a satisfied sigh.
"This is the right way to drink it. The slight numbness on the tongue, the sweet and sour taste of the lemon, and the stimulating taste of the salt. It's a wonderful way to drink it. How did you know?" Felios looked at him with great interest. The information did mention that Li Xiang knew some ancient history and culture.
He heard that Link liked to borrow books from the library since he was young. He must have learned some things from them.
Books were always the most brilliant treasures of culture. Even the well-read elders of the Chronometer Tower did not dare to say that they had truly walked into the palace of culture. Countless cities in the seven continents had their own libraries. There were many books in these libraries. Those who could read one in ten thousand of them were already super scholars.
It was normal that Li Xiang could learn some ancient history and culture from them.
"Tequila is the national drink of Mexico. It's called the soul of Mexico. It was a distilled liquor made from tequila after being distilled. Tequila is often used as the base liquor to make all kinds of cocktails. The most common cocktails are Tequila Sunrise, Matador, Frost Margarita, and so on. " Li Xiang spoke with confidence based on his memory and understanding of alcohol culture. He knew these little things like the back of his hand. In his previous life, he could not live without alcohol. Although he was not a heavy drinker, he still had a certain understanding of alcohol.
Under the pressure of the tarot cards, there were many alcoholics in the organization. He learned a lot from them.
"Mexico? Cocktails? Tequila Sunrise? What are these? " Felios was also a scholar. Otherwise, he would not have been able to work in the Chronometer Tower. Li Xiang spouted out a bunch of technical terms that sounded very sophisticated. His intuition told him that Li Xiang was not making things up. This made him even more curious.
"It's some ancient history and culture. I'm afraid it would take more than three days and three nights to explain. Actually, I know a little about alcohol. If Master Felios likes it, you can talk to me about it, "Li Xiang said with a smile. He could see that the way Felios looked at him had changed.
It was different from the way players looked at their juniors.
"Interesting, interesting. The little guy who can win the favor of that beautiful snake lady is indeed quite capable. I like people who are talented. Although magic is the most wonderful thing in the world, wisdom and knowledge are greater than magic! We at the Chronometer Tower are tirelessly studying the knowledge of this world because we believe that knowledge is the only driving force that can change everything. "
Felios put down the wine glass and looked seriously into Soran's eyes. "No matter how complicated magic is, we can still use our knowledge to structure, analyze, and even create it. Always maintaining a heart of respect for knowledge, humility, and curiosity is the key to the true path of a magician. "
"Thank you for your guidance, Master Felios." Li Xiang stood up and bowed. He was honored to be able to communicate with a true scholar.
He could feel a feeling from Felios that he had never felt before. This feeling was different from the players he had met before.
This was probably the temperament of a scholar.
"Haha, what kind of guidance is this? It's just simple experience. You're very good. I will strongly recommend you to Lighthouse Academy. The academic atmosphere there is very good. " Originally, Felios could have rejected Li Xiang's request or acted according to the situation. Today's meeting with Li Xiang was just to see what was so good about him that Night's Shadow thought highly of him.
When he felt the similar temperament in Soran, Felios decided to really help him. Making a promise meant that the matter would definitely be done.
Regardless of whether Night's Shadow helped him or not, it was still a great favor to Li Xiang.
Understanding the meaning behind his words, Li Xiang quickly bowed and thanked him.
With the recommendation and promise of this executive, Soran was basically in the bag.
"Actually, with your talent, you are qualified to compete for a better university. However, everything is affected by the trajectory of fate. I won't interfere. Go back and have a good rest."
"Thank you, Master Felios."
Li Xiang gently closed the door and returned to his lounge. He would be heading to the headquarters of Wessex tomorrow. He did not know where the Queen of Pain had gone after leaving the World of Hunters.
She must have undergone some unknown changes. During their last communication, she clearly told Li Xiang that she had the ability to control machinery and that the World of Hunters could no longer trap her.
What was more terrifying was that the Queen of Pain had been growing. She had changed from being ignorant to a "human" who could think independently. In time, she might really become a real human!
When that time came, would he usher in a new force?
