"What kind of bird language is this? I don't understand it at all." Chen Fan muttered softly. Originally, many trainees were hoping to get on the boat of the Five Sovereigns, but they didn't expect to be eliminated in the first round.
Looking at the reaction of the people around, it seemed that most people were not familiar with the Steam language. Li Xiang naturally couldn't understand it either. Anyway, he didn't consider which force to rely on for the time being. His top priority was to quickly improve his strength and obtain the player's qualifications, then enter a top player's university.
The servant girl's voice was sweet and pleasant, and she spoke slowly. The Steam language itself was a very pleasant language, and it sounded similar to chanting.
Atsushi Amakusa, who was standing between Chen Fan and Li Xiang, explained in a low voice, "Sir, what you mean is that the Dong Ling family is the number one family in Europe, and they have a huge amount of wealth. They are especially fond of young people who want to rely on them. The benefits and treatment can be determined according to the successor of the Dong Ling family. However, if you want to participate in their 'Plan One,' you have to give up your identity and name to develop in Europe."
Chen Fan was stunned for a moment, then immediately revealed a smirk. "Tsk, little brother, you know the Steam language?"
"Ah, I know a little. The Yakumo family happens to have strict requirements for language and literature, and I learned a lot from Miss Ai. " Atsushi Amakusa replied shyly. Li Xiang had a good impression of this young man. He was more outstanding than many trainees, but he was extremely low-key. Other than the Ai Yakumo who served him, who had a princess temper, Atsushi Amakusa was a person worth befriending.
After the servant girl from the Dong Ling family finished speaking, the instructors reappeared and briefly explained that there would be two tests, and they had to give it their all. After that, they finally announced the first important rule.
"The mid-term test is the last round of screening tests for Polar night. That's right, Polar night is divided into two training periods. Only when you enter the second period next month can you say that you are a Polar night person. This mid-term test is to test whether you are qualified or not! We will not be responsible for the death of trainees during the examination. If you are lucky enough to survive after being eliminated, you can leave on your own. However, you will not be allowed to apply to the Polar night training camp in the future. At the same time, we will not teach you any methods to obtain a player's aptitude, "Han Shi shouted loudly, causing an uproar in the audience.
In other words, after the mid-term test, there were only three outcomes: success, failure, and death.
Everyone, who had just relaxed, tensed up again. They had worked so hard for a month. If they were eliminated like this, they would be extremely unwilling!
During the one month of Polar night, they had not only honed their individual combat strength, but also their spirit!
After the introductions, the instructors of each class led their trainees to the testing area at the side for a basic inspection.
Li Xiang and the others took off their prison uniforms and changed into clean white robes. They were naked inside. First, they went through the most basic physical examination. If there were any diseases or developmental problems, they would be directly eliminated.
After a round, they gathered in the bathhouse to wash their bodies and changed into the light combat uniform provided by the Polar night. It was a set of black tights that could effectively bring out the advantages of every part of the body. The girls' clothes were very revealing, slim and sexy.
Coming out of the bathhouse, they had to go through the same physical test as they had in the previous unified recruitment exam. They were familiar with the three basic skills test.
Li Xiang was at the front of the line. Everyone's test was done individually, so they did not know each other's results.
He punched the human-shaped target heavily. This testing device was even more precise than the one he had used before. It could display the number after the decimal point. When the device showed 602.9kg, the white-coat recorder exclaimed in surprise.
500kg was the strength standard of a Level-1 Magic Apprentice, and 800kg was the Level-2 standard. To be able to reach the Level-1 standard before the magic circuit was simply innate strength.
With the experience of the last physical test, Li Xiang was used to it.
He already knew the state of four magic circuits, two of which were related to the range of strength in the limbs and bones. Coupled with his high foundation, he was a little dissatisfied with an increase of just over 100kg.
There were similar exclamations during the test. After all, the first batch was the top four of each class. They were just not lucky enough to awaken a magic circuit that matched the player's qualifications. Their individual basic qualities were extraordinary among the candidates of the same cohort.
Li Xiang jogged all the way over to test his speed. Last time, it was 15.7m/s. The speed also had a lot to do with the two magic circuits. This time, he ran freely, and the speed of 18.0m/s stunned the recorder again. It was very close to the Level-2 Magic Apprentice standard of 20m/s. It didn't seem like a big improvement, but this kind of instantaneous burst was very difficult to improve. Ordinary people would gradually decline as they grew older.
Judging from these two numbers alone, Li Xiang felt like half a superhuman. No wonder the assassination plan that he had found unbelievable that day had succeeded. A hundred meters in about five seconds, walking like the wind and sprinting like a dragon.
In the end, they used the device that Bai Yuhan had given Li Xiang to measure his reaction speed. It was much more difficult than the Unified Enrollment Exam. In fact, they used the standard Magic Apprentice testing device today.
In this regard, Li Xiang's improvement in the past month wasn't great. He had only dodged 12 times from ten times a minute. Although it was still excellent, it wasn't as exaggerated as the previous two tests.
After all, nerve reaction speed had a lot to do with the magic circuits in the brain, which happened to be one of the circuits that he hadn't awakened.
After finishing the three basic skill tests, he went to another venue. Rocca was sitting there. It was still the same test of knowing the state of magic circuits. This time, it was just a review. Standing beside him were a few soldiers from the military and a white coat. They were probably there to confirm.
Li Xiang didn't have any communication with Rocca. He sat directly in front of him and clenched a glass full of water in his hand.
When the four colored liquids mixed and appeared in distinct layers, the expressions of the people behind him changed slightly. There was surprise on their faces, but more than that, there was regret. Especially after seeing all of Li Xiang's test results, they understood even more why he had come to Polar night.
It would be a pity if he couldn't become a player with such talent.
"Sigh, 'Death Magic Circuit.'" The people behind him recorded the data and left.
"It seems that you've made a lot of progress this month." Rocca casually fiddled with the data below. The two sets were statistics of Li Xiang's data before and after entering Polar night. From the analysis of the data, he was indeed much stronger.
"Yes."
"Go to the rest area over there and wait. While you're at it, understand the questions of the next test." Rocca waved his hand in satisfaction. Before he left, he suddenly got up and whispered, "Read the questions carefully and understand them carefully."
"Thank you, Teacher Kaka. I'll pay attention." Li Xiang nodded and trotted all the way to the rest area. Chen Fan and the others were already waiting there. The first four of the six classes had basically finished the test. They were scattered in the rest area. There were almost no people like Li Xiang and Chen Fan who were brazenly putting their arms around each other's shoulders.
Everyone looked at each other nervously. No one knew what the midterm test rules were set by these big shots. Maybe the people sitting here would become enemies in the next second. Therefore, no one wanted to establish such a fragile friendship.
"How was it?" Chen Fan smiled. It seemed that he had done well in the test. The conflict between him and the Kuang Tie was well known. Many trainees predicted that Chen Fan would find trouble with the Kuang Tie after coming out of the infirmary. They didn't expect that after coming out of the infirmary, not only did Chen Fan not retaliate against the Kuang Tie and the others, but he still looked carefree.
They really didn't know whether he was careless or stupid.
Only Li Xiang and Ji Yanqing, who knew him well, understood how meticulous Chen Fan was. If they only looked at his appearance, then they would die miserably if they became his opponents in the future.
Being able to maintain his former appearance in such a situation, this kind of person was the most terrifying.
Unknowingly, he had returned to the fourth place in the sequence with a smile, and there was a big gap between him and the fifth place.
Li Xiang smiled and nodded. As for the specific data, even if they were good friends, they couldn't disclose it to each other for the time being. The Polar night was not over yet, and no one could say who would become the enemy of whom.
Even if this possibility was very small between the two of them, smart people wouldn't cause more trouble because of it.
After waiting for a while, more and more people entered the venue. Li Xiang looked around, and it seemed that some trainees didn't appear again. This was the cruelty of the Polar night. People were being eliminated at every moment, and only by persisting would there be hope.
When everyone was present, Ge Wei, the instructor who announced the rules, appeared in the resting area. She held a thick manuscript and read aloud, "The rules of this mid-term test are as follows: All trainees will receive invitations from different forces. Trainees can choose any invitation to accept. The invitation will contain important information such as the test questions. Once accepted, it cannot be changed or replaced. Please choose carefully. Polar night will give you a score and reward based on your performance and completion of the mission. The inviters will also give you rewards. At the same time, this mission will also determine whether you are qualified to stay and participate in the second phase of the Polar night training. "
This was a very novel format, and it was different from what Li Xiang had expected. This kind of two-way selection mission seemed open, but in fact, it had very high requirements for trainees.
First of all, they had to choose. Once they made the wrong choice, even the best trainees could fail. Similarly, trainees who weren't the best could explode and become famous because of the right choice.
After all, the mission had a lot to do with the inviters and the trainees' adaptability. This meant that before making a choice, the trainees had to understand their strengths and weaknesses. They also had to be very familiar with the inviters' characteristics. They couldn't choose for the sake of choosing, and they couldn't blindly choose the best side.
"Interesting." Li Xiang chuckled. Of course, they didn't have the time or opportunity to understand themselves and the inviters. In other words, this test actually began from the moment the representatives of the forces began their speeches.
Li Xiang had a rather thorough understanding of himself. His strength was definitely in the mechanical aspect. After exchanging blows with Kuang Tie, he realized that compared to the trainees with truly strong backgrounds, he had too little actual combat experience and special trump cards in various aspects. In a situation where he did not have enough resources, he understood too little.
They had heard much more experience than he did. The only way to win was to take them by surprise.
After Ge Wei finished explaining the rules, she first announced the rewards.
As long as they passed the mid-term test and successfully entered the second phase of training, they would be given ten standard tubes of Source Gas for free, as well as a magic scroll that matched the trainee's own abilities!
The former wasn't much. To trainees with strong backgrounds, it was like a drizzle. However, the latter was different!
Magic skills were important items that differentiated normal people from magic apprentices. If one wanted to learn magic skills, they could only do so through magic scrolls. However, these resources were monopolized by countless forces. If one wanted to buy them, they either had to go through the military or the official channels of those forces, which were ridiculously expensive, or try their luck on the black market, where the chances of finding something good were ridiculously low.
Even if one entered a university, magic scrolls were similar to scholarships as a reward!
As expected, once this reward was announced, the trainees' enthusiasm was aroused to the extreme. Compared to the temporarily illusory player's aptitude, this was the most practical.
After saying this, a few mercenaries distributed the invitation letters in the large black box that Ge Wei had brought with her to all the trainees according to their names.
Most of the invitation letters were exquisitely crafted and could reflect the sincerity, background, and style of each force.
There were actually twenty-one invitation letters in Li Xiang's hands!
