Chapter 252 Way X Thinking X Dead Mind
The candidates climbed to the top one after another, which inevitably attracted Moyou's attention.
Dongba was able to reach the summit smoothly, which was within Moyou's expectations.
After all, this is a guy who can survive over 30 hunter tests.
But it's hard to tell whether this guy is more life-saving than luck, or luck is more than life-saving, or both.
In a word, the world is big and full of wonders.
Perhaps, some people are born with overlord-like luck and have a smooth journey.
And some people are unlucky enough to be struck by lightning many times during their lifetime, and their graves continue to be struck by lightning after death.
If Dongba's luck is higher than his life-saving ability, he may be able to awaken his ability related to "luck" after contacting his ability.
"How can I get something down..."
Moyou's eyes swirled around Dongba, as if he was looking at a fat-looking prey.
There are three ways to get rewards from “look and feel” at present.
One is the way to "defeat a strong enemy in a life-and-death battle" with the highest reward cap.
One is the way of rewarding the "establishing a relationship or bond" in the middle.
The last one is to reward the most general way of "making a decision or having some kind of awareness when you encounter something."
On the five scumbags like Dongba...
There is probably only the second way to get something out of him.
The problem is—
What kind of relationship should be entered into?
friend? companion? Master and apprentice?
These relationships, Moyou directly ruled them out without even thinking about it.
As far as his own perception is concerned, he doesn't like this guy, it can even be said that he hates it.
Moyu gradually slowed down the speed of swinging his sword, and his eyes showed the color of thought.
He was thinking about how to pluck wool, while Dongba was not calm.
"what happened…"
"Does he know me?! Does he know that I'm 'Dongba, a rookie killer'?!"
"So... Did he notice what I just touched?!"
"But I didn't do anything!!"
Dongba was frightened by the look in Moyou's eyes, how dare he stand within Moyou's field of vision, hurriedly lowered his head and retreated behind the crowd, his face full of fear.
Being targeted by someone who looks dangerous is a terrible thing to think about.
In any case, Dongba made up his mind to stay away from Moyu completely.
even thought of giving up the second test.
Moyou didn't pay much attention to seeing Dongba hiding.
There were so many candidates present, in addition to Dongba, Moyou also paid attention to other people with ability to read.
One of the things he cared about the most was the blond baby face who climbed to the top after him and Menqi.
It's not because the other party is also a minder.
Instead, he saw the blond baby face holding a mobile phone with the appearance of a red little devil.
From the perspective of various characteristics, he is basically a knight of the Phantom Troupe.
It is also possible that it is someone else, but the possibility is very small.
"A knight from the Phantom Troupe... I remember he did use the hunter license in the 'You Kexin Chapter', so he got it this year?"
Moyou will blatantly use his eyes to tease Dongba, but he will not rashly look at the knights.
He knows each other’s abilities and abilities…
Aside from combat power, the knight is the staff officer of the Phantom Brigade. He is usually responsible for processing and analyzing intelligence. He has a high IQ and is proficient in all kinds of knowledge.
If such a person notices a hint, it is very likely that he will be directly followed, thereby revealing some information.
"Let's finish today's task first."
Moyu stopped thinking and continued to focus on swinging the sword.
Ten minutes before the end of the first test, Moyu made his final cut.
「10000/10000」
After completing his daily practice, Mo You slowly let out a breath of white breath, completely ignoring the gazes of many candidates who were looking from all around, and put the ordinary long sword in his hand into the black scabbard.
In front of the fire.
Harriman, who was dozing off, suddenly shuddered and slowly opened his eyes with a sleepy look.
"Ten minutes left."
He first yawned loudly, then stretched.
You don't need to check your watch and other tools, you can determine the time at any time with your own "sleep biological clock".
"Well, is the fire still burning, no wonder I can sleep so comfortably."
Harriman looked at the still-burning fire with a burst of surprise in his heart, and turned to look at Menqi without a trace.
This girl—
From when he climbed to the top until he woke up, has he kept releasing his "qi" to wrap the fire and the soup pot?
So this fire can burn for so long?
And at such a close distance, he could already smell the refreshing aroma of the soup pot, and he could see the curling heat swirling in the light of psychic power.
This is the most unlikely scene on the top of the Alagas Mountains, but it became a reality because of "thinking".
"That qi...has the ability of some kind of amplifying substance? Is this No. 1788 a release type like me? Or does it have the ability and effect of an enhancement type?"
Harriman was surprised, thinking in his heart.
The ability characteristics of the release system are not limited to simply releasing bullets.
In the same way, the abilities of the strengthening system are not limited to simply enhancing the strength of fists and feet.
In view of the experience, preferences, opinions of the capable person...
Whether it is a release type or an enhancement type, more novel abilities will be derived from the seemingly "mainstream" development direction.
For example, the girl in front of her actually made use of the "qi" released from the body to form some kind of ability effect related to amplification.
Another example is Harriman himself, who can use the "qi" released from the body to cause the target to fall asleep.
It may be that the type and style are similar, and Harriman began to pay attention to the existence of Menqi.
Because those who are good at attacking and fighting are very common, but those who can use the characteristics of the releasing type to develop novel abilities are rare, and it can even be said that it is rare.
"Whether it's No. 1789 or this No. 1788, it's not easy."
After thinking about it, Harriman slowly got up, ready to perform his duties as an examiner, to preside over and control the progress of the first test.
But before that, he couldn't help but glance at Moyu who had just finished his practice.
One swung the knife for more than five hours, and the other unleashed an unknown ability for more than five hours.
These two young people are really…
Should I say too much hard work?
Harriman, who just wanted to sleep most of the time, shook his head with a sigh, and then went straight to the many candidates not far away.
There are still about seven minutes before the end of the first test.
The number of candidates who successfully reached the summit has already exceeded 200.
"The 10% pass rate met expectations."
Harriman stood quietly.
There are too many candidates who have qualified for the first test, so he needs to do this.
Now.
He only needs to wait for the end of the test time to directly enter the second stage of the test.
After a while.
The first test is the last second.
"time up."
Harriman stepped on the time and announced that the weak voice overcame the mountain wind under the action of "Qi" and entered the ears of every candidate.
"Congratulations on passing the first test."
Harriman's gaze swept across the 231 candidates present.
Six hours of climbing.
There were nearly 2,000 candidates, and in the end, only 231 candidates made it to the top.
Listening to Harriman's words, most of the candidates present breathed a sigh of relief.
The candidates who finished the summit overtime are actually fine, and have been resting for a long time now.
The candidates who climbed to the top and stepped on the spot are still exhausted, and they just want to take a rest and recover their energy in the gap before the start of the second test.
All in all, it made them relax a lot after completing the first level of testing.
"So-"
Harriman said in a serious tone: "The second test will start in five minutes."
“!!”
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar among the candidates.
"What's the meaning!?"
"The second test will start immediately after the first test is over?"
"And it's still six hours of climbing, so no time to rest at all?!"
Candidates who have only relaxed for a few seconds will have their nerves tense.
Harriman ignored the objections of the candidates and declared to himself:
"The test content of the second level is to descend the mountain within three hours, and if you can reach the foot of the mountain within the time limit, you will be deemed to have passed the second level test."
“!!”
Listening to the content of the second test, the venue was suddenly so quiet that only the sound of the gust of wind whistled past.
"Anyone who has an opinion can be deemed to have given up the qualification to participate in the second level test."
Harriman's next sentence directly blocked the candidates' thoughts of opposition that were about to erupt.
Whether to give up directly or bite the bullet and start the second test.
Candidates who have finally completed the first level of the test will not choose the latter.
Moyu looked at Harriman who had just announced the exam questions.
The first pass reaches the top, the second pass goes down.
So those who finish the summit early will have plenty of time to rest from the beginning.
Those who barely complete the summit, because there is not enough time to rest, there is a high probability that they will be eliminated in the process of going down the mountain in the second level.
The two-stage test can be said to carry out the purpose of testing the candidates' physical fitness to the end.
Then—
With one minute left in the test time of the second level, Harriman took out a red balloon and blew it in front of everyone.
Soon, a balloon the size of a ball appeared in Harriman's hand.
As everyone watched, Harriman threw the balloon.
The howling mountain wind instantly wrapped the red balloon and flew in one direction.
"Well, please go down the mountain in this direction."
Harriman immediately pointed in the opposite direction and announced the direction of the downhill.
Candidates have no comments because the second test has already started.
"Bastard Examiner..."
The candidates who could only curse Hariman in their hearts moved and headed towards the foot of the mountain.
Moyu didn't rush ahead this time, but sat in front of the fire and took the hot soup from Men Qi.
"Call..."
Just took a sip and felt warm all over.
Being able to drink such a bowl of hot soup that combines "nian" and "superior cooking" in such a cold place, Moyou realized what happiness is.
"It seems that Menqi's 'ability tone' has been completely formed."
Moyou drank the hot soup in three or two, thinking in his heart:
"Although it is a non-combat ability, in the future, you can improve your combat power by learning to master the method of 'mind bomb'."
Compared to the pure attacking release type ability, Moyou felt that this ability of Men Qi was more precious.
The candidates who started going down the mountain one by one saw Moyou sitting in front of the fire drinking hot soup, and their mood was very complicated.
They are wondering whether they can reach the foot of the mountain safely, but the other party seems to be traveling to climb the mountain, not only with outstanding abilities, but also accompanied by beautiful girls...
What a big winner in life!
It is true that there is no harm without contrast.
Adhering to the principle of “out of sight, out of sight”, this group of candidates with mixed feelings accelerated their pace down the mountain.
After a while, only Moyou and Menqi were left on the summit.
"No hurry, three hours is still plenty."
Moyou looked at Men Qi who was quickly packing up, and said with a smile.
"Um."
Menqi nodded.
It's not that she is in a hurry to clean up, but she is the type who pursues efficiency.
A few minutes later, Menqi finished collecting things.
Moyou got up when he saw this.
"Let's go."
Looking at the direction the candidates were descending, Moyou said softly.
Practice is practice, rest is rest.
The next test should be taken seriously.
Moyu walked in front, followed by Menqi.
They can still maintain a relatively good state after practicing for more than five hours, which is enough to show their growth in the past year.
Moyu and Menqi descended along the rock face.
On the way, I saw many other candidates walking very carefully.
In a sense, the "downhill" at the moment is more difficult than the "climbing" at the beginning.
But for Moyu and Menqi, it was still a small matter.
Despite this, the two of them went down the mountain very slowly.
To say why—
is Men Qi collecting ingredients.
On this route to the bottom of the mountain, you can see a white fruit growing by the rock.
In order to collect this kind of wild fruit, it is natural to delay the speed of going down the mountain.
There is also a certain degree of offset in the direction of the route.
But it doesn't matter much.
Moyou accompanied Men Qi to dig for various ingredients along the way.
Menqi was so excited that he found a treasure.
The pursuit and curiosity of the food hunter for unknown ingredients is really reflected in Men Qi incisively and vividly.
In the eyes of others, how can they imagine that Men Qi in this state will still have a pungent side.
"The backpack is almost full, it's almost done."
Moyu looked at the bulging backpack on Menqi's back.
Men Qi heard this and showed a big smile, still a little dissatisfied.
Because no food hunter can resist the temptation to collect high-quality ingredients.
Moyou laughed and shook his head, leading the way.
"Um?"
When passing through a rock protrusion, Moyu, who was very sensitive to "Thinking After Death", suddenly sensed a faint breath.
"this place…?"
Moyu's eyes moved, and he looked at a trapezoidal boulder on the slope.
Around this trapezoidal boulder, there are seven or eight large or small rock protrusions.
And the faint aura of that "afterdeath thought" came from the pile of rocks protruding from the rocks.
"Master, what's wrong?"
Seeing that Moyou suddenly stopped halfway, Men Qi asked in confusion.
"There is a problem here."
Moyu walked to the trapezoidal boulder.
As the distance got closer, the existence of that wisp of breath became more and more obvious.
Even so, Moyu didn't feel any threat, indicating that the intensity of this "afterdeath thought" was mediocre.
What he was more curious about was what was under the rocks.
I fell asleep between 3:30 and 4:00 in the middle of the night, and woke up at 6:45 in the morning.
This sleep... is entering old age ahead of schedule.
Maybe it's because my body is too tired, and my liver hurts all afternoon today.
Alas, I don't know when I'll be able to get a good night's sleep.
In the past, sleeping all day was as simple as eating and drinking...
In short, the corpse is gone.
