It had been a few days since Ming Xu had taken away the steam pistol that Li Xiang had hidden in the Elementium Decomposition Room. The tenth day of the test was about to arrive. Just as Li Xiang was worried about Chen Fan, Chen Fan, who had been lying in the infirmary, finally returned to the training grounds.
The two of them bumped fists when they met. Nothing needed to be said.
During the test, Rocca inspected the trainees one by one in the classroom to prevent them from leaking information about their magic circuits. The ten days of training had made each of them realize the importance of magic circuits to themselves.
Life and death battles on the battlefield were ever-changing. A simple information gap could allow you to turn the tables or cause you to die due to carelessness. The most important information was naturally the status of an individual's magic circuits.
Li Xiang was the first to be tested as the first in the sequence. When he walked into the classroom and faced Rocca alone, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
"Sit." Rocca smiled. He was still dressed in a decadent manner. Only the gold-rimmed glasses slightly enhanced his temperament.
"Teacher Kaka." Li Xiang nodded and sat in the chair opposite him. There was a glass on the table between the two of them. It was filled with cold water.
"Relax. Hold the glass tightly in your hand. The change in color of the water means that you have reached a state where you know your magic circuits. The higher the level, the higher the talent level." Rocca nodded at the glass of cold water and chuckled. "Don't be nervous. You don't have to do anything. Just hold it tight."
Li Xiang gently placed his hand on the outside of the glass and suddenly clenched it. At first, he was worried that his grip was too strong and he would accidentally crush the glass. After exerting force, he realized that he was overthinking.
The glass was obviously made of a special material. After he exerted force, the outside didn't move at all. The white water inside, however, bubbled as if it was boiling. After a few seconds, the white water suddenly spun. A touch of light blue appeared first and slowly settled to the bottom layer, occupying less than one-sixth of the volume.
Then, a bright yellow slowly condensed in the middle layer. Together with the light blue liquid, it was about half the volume.
Finally, it was the red color that Li Xiang was most familiar with. When the clear rose color appeared, the whole glass of white water seemed to shoot out from the glass. After it was covered, the tri-colored water in the glass looked like a delicious cocktail.
"Very impressive, Li Xiang. I remember that you were able to connect four magic circuits. Among them, the one with the lowest talent level is the C-level orange facial magic circuit. Other than that, you have already reached the state of knowing." A gratified expression appeared on Rocca's face. Because of Li Xiang's extraordinary talent in machinery, he liked this trainee very much. His talent in magic circuits was also very amazing.
If he could obtain the qualifications to become a player, he might be able to reach unimaginable heights in the future.
"I was just lucky." Of course, Li Xiang wouldn't say that he had only successfully reached the state of knowing after consuming 0.1% of his liquefied Origin Substance. His improvement speed was not only shocking, but it was enough to be compared to some of the most monstrous geniuses.
Even with the machinery classes these days, which gave him the opportunity to greatly increase the amount of liquefied Origin Substance in the gray-white scale bar, Li Xiang still paid a great price to reach his current level.
"It's a pity that your facial magic circuit hasn't reached the state of knowing. For a mechanic, the bonus that this magic circuit brings is actually very important. Sigh, but it's fine. Based on your progress, it won't be a problem for you to reach it before the mid-term exam." Rocca smiled slightly, and then his eyes turned cold. "But you can't be careless. This is just the beginning. I've seen students more talented than you in Recursion, but many of them fell or disappeared in the long process of cultivation. Remember, on the path to becoming a player, the most important thing is faith, followed by resources, third is hard work, and last is talent."
Faith? Li Xiang was silent. Every night when he couldn't sleep, he couldn't help but think of his sister who was taken away by the Bai family. He didn't know how her life was now. If what the mysterious person L said was true, that the Bai family would cultivate her wholeheartedly, then would the distance between him and her grow further and further?
He slowly clenched his fists. He didn't have time to hesitate or think. He could only continue to move forward to have the right to say that he wanted to face such a huge monster alone.
He also thought of Fei Yujing. She must hate him. If there was a chance, he wanted to go to City 0001 to see her, and not miss her like in his previous life.
"I'll work hard. Thank you, Teacher Rocca." Li Xiang was about to get up, but Rocca grabbed his arm.
"Li Xiang, there are some things that I shouldn't reveal to you as an instructor, but you're different." Rocca suddenly lowered his voice and pressed him back into his seat. "Maybe you don't know, but I've been paying attention to you for a long time. During your physical examination, I was also one of the main examiners, and I had the honor of recording your results. At that time, I felt that you weren't an ordinary examinee. In the future, you will definitely walk on a path that others will never be able to touch. I know it's ridiculous to say this, but it's just my intuition and judgment. "
Li Xiang looked into his eyes and didn't say anything. He listened quietly. In fact, even if Rocca didn't say anything, he already had some doubts. This teacher did pay special attention to him and took care of him, but he always felt that it wasn't right to say it because of his mechanical talent.
Rocca paused for a moment and lowered his voice again. "There are two things I want to remind you of. First, behind the Kuang Tie is General Shogun of the Northern Military Department. You might know a little, or you might not know anything, but you have to remember that if you provoke the Kuang Tie, it'll reach a point where he won't rest until you're dead. You have to be careful no matter where you go in the North. Their whole family is crazy! Second, this mid-term examination is different. Not only will the chief instructor of Polar night be watching, there will also be many big shots who support Polar night. You have to be in your best condition to deal with it! Many of those big shots aren't afraid of General Shogun. "
Li Xiang was stupefied. His face was blank, as if he didn't hear anything. Rocca smiled, very satisfied with his expression. Finally, he took out a piece of paper from his pocket.
"This last one is my personal help to you. Well, it's not really. After all, if it's just me, I won't be able to do much. Take this piece of paper. After the ten-day deadline, the top four in each class will have the opportunity to go out one day a week. Go to the address on this piece of paper. It'll be very beneficial for you. "
After saying this, Rocca straightened his white shirt and waved for him to leave.
After Li Xiang left, he picked up the glass in front of him. The color of the water inside was gradually fading. He took a sip and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Chen Fan, who had just recovered from his injuries, had fallen to tenth place in the sequence. However, he was full of confidence and didn't look nervous at all. He smiled at everyone he met. Only when he met the Kuang Tie did he retract his smile and release his killing intent without hiding it.
This round of testing was soon over. Li Xiang didn't know the situation of the other classes, but after the first round, there were only fifteen people left. Everyone was used to the reduction in numbers and returned to the training ground to carry out their daily training.
After the magic circuit test, Li Xiang fell to second place in the sequence, and the Kuang Tie once again sprinted to first place. Except for a brief moment of rage after being killed by him that night, he always maintained a calm and indifferent look. He treated everyone the same, even those followers of his didn't talk much.
Such a calm and steady enemy was the most terrifying, and the fact that he could climb back to first place again showed that the test results this time were explosive.
Atsushi Amakusa was still firmly in third place in the sequence. Like the Kuang Tie and Li Xiang, he was a relatively silent person. However, the Kuang Tie was like a cold poisonous snake, Li Xiang was like a demon hibernating in the dark, and he was a sleeping lion.
The only thing that concerned Li Xiang was that Atsushi Amakusa had a very good relationship with the Ai Yakumo of Class Two. It seemed to be a master-servant relationship. He would directly call her "Miss Ai." That day, he stood between the Ai Yakumo and Li Xiang, which was also an obvious act of protecting his master.
The other trainees were nothing to be afraid of, but Chen Fan, after coming out in high spirits, had risen two places in the sequence to eighth place.
It must be known that he hadn't been in Polar night for a week, and the courses and training he had missed were all counted as zero points. Two points could be seen. One was that he had a lot of magic circuit states, and the other was that the first batch of people had a terrible gap with the trainees behind them.
For the next five days, Polar night returned to the usual calm training, and the increasing training volume became more and more terrifying. Almost every day, trainees were carried away, and looking back at the first day of training, they were horrified to realize that the training volume had increased by a terrifying number.
If you couldn't bear it, you would die. If you couldn't bear it, you would die. If you couldn't move forward, you would still die.
Those who came here with a fluke mentality to seek a breakthrough to player qualification finally all woke up. They had gone from desperately wanting to graduate to clenching their teeth and persevering to survive.
In just five days, Chen Fan had returned to fourth place. At this point, the overall situation of Class 1 was very clear.
After the fifth day of daytime training, Li Xiang had also successfully reached the state of knowing the five senses magic circuits. All four magic circuits had reached the state of knowing the state in 15 days. This was an unimaginable miracle outside, but in Polar night, this was not too big of a deal. According to Li Xiang's estimation, it was very likely that people who had awakened six magic circuits had come to Polar night and had now reached the state of knowing the state.
Such people were his real opponents, and Polar night was also created for this group of people. The others were just cannon fodder and higher-level cannon fodder.
On the fifteenth day, a quarter of the Polar night had passed, and the number of people had dropped sharply from nearly 200 to 76. This batch of trainees who had come in by invitation gradually revealed their fangs and talents, and the number of people left was the largest of the six classes.
On this day, many of the rules of Polar night had been adjusted.
For example, no dating, no improper relationships between male and female trainees, and so on were canceled.
At first, Li Xiang did not pay too much attention to it. It was not until the next day that he saw all kinds of small groups and couples appearing in the class that he began to think deeply about the inner meaning of this change.
Every rule and every change in Polar night had far-reaching significance. There was no doubt about it.
