A facial recognition array was drawn on the hatch, and a red light swept across Li Yao's face, making two beeps, and the hatch opened with a click.
Inside is a very simple small room with only a single bed and a small bathroom, not even a place to put a desk.
But Li Yao knew that this was special preferential treatment for them.
On the spar warship, only officers can enjoy the treatment in a single room. Ordinary sailors live in a room of four, six or even eight.
Li Yao grew up in the tomb of the treasure, and he could sleep peacefully even in the garbage dump. The environment here was luxurious for him. On the bed, let out a contented * * *.
"Puji Puji, Puji Puji, Li Yao, hello, I am your exclusive Puji Beast No. 2899, you can call me 2899, or you can call me Xiaoji."
A chubby, chubby, naive Puji beast moved out from under the bed with difficulty, startling Li Yao.
The white Puji beast fluttered its wings strenuously, flew into the air, and said:
"From now until the end of the competition, Xiaoji will serve Li Yao. Xiaoji will explain the rules of the competition to you, answer your questions, help you get in touch with the observers of the 'Big Nine', and take pictures of you during the competition. Every move in the game will be transmitted to the monitoring center, and if you encounter fatal danger, Xiaoji will call a cultivator to help you, so don't look at Xiaoji as a fool, but Li Yao is a good helper in the competition!"
Li Yao stared at the white Puji beast for a long time, and asked in doubt, "Xiaoji, are you talking by yourself, or is someone manipulating you from behind?"
The white Puchi flew up around his head and said cheerfully:
"It's not that Xiaoji is talking by himself, and no one is manipulating me from behind. It is that Xiaoji's body is equipped with the most advanced crystal brain system, and hundreds of thousands of divine thoughts have been input in advance, so that Xiaoji can give real-time feedback on various situations. , Xiaoji was jointly developed by Shenhai University and Tiandu Medical College, it is not an ordinary spirit beast, it is the most advanced 'crystal beast', that is, a spirit beast controlled by a crystal brain!"
"So that's it, it's really advanced. In this way, the intelligence of the spirit beast can be improved, and there is no need to worry about the spirit beast losing control like a monster!"
Li Yao became more determined to apply for Shenhai University, and continued to ask, "Then Xiaoji, please explain to me the rules of the Extreme Challenge."
"OK."
The white fur on the head of the white poochi beast swayed, and a fleshy pink tentacle was stretched out. The top of the tentacle was a shiny artificial spar.
A beam of light was shot out from the spar, forming a huge three-dimensional light curtain in front of Li Yao. With a flash of inspiration, the holographic image of Mojiao Island appeared in Li Yao's eyes.
"The Extreme Challenge is a traditional event with a long history in the Federation. Its purpose is to select good seedlings with cultivation talents for the 'Nine Greats', and at the same time give some students who are good at actual combat but not good at theoretical knowledge a chance to stand out. "
"The Extreme Challenge is held two months before the college entrance examination every year. The entire federation is divided into nearly a thousand test areas, and each test area has 3,000 contestants."
"Fuge City and its surrounding areas are important training centers of the Federation, and many cultivation geniuses have emerged. Therefore, the environment in test area 571 is also very dangerous, and it is one of the famous 'death test areas'."
"Three thousand contestants have to try their best to survive for five days on the Demonic Jiao Island where monsters are rampant—Student Li Yao, don't underestimate the Demonic Jiao Island. On the battlefield, there are countless corpses buried in the depths of the ocean, and the demonic aura is soaring!"
"The monsters on Mojiao Island devour monster energy all the year round, and are more ferocious than monsters in other places."
The white Puji beast flew in front of Li Yao, flapping its stubby wings, and said cheerfully, "The five-day Extreme Challenge is divided into two parts, the preliminary round and the final round. The first three days are the preliminary round, and the last two days are the final round. .”
"Tomorrow at nine o'clock in the morning, three thousand candidates will be thrown into the Magic Jiao Island together. You will only wear the simplest sports vests and shorts without any defensive functions. You will have no weapons, no food, no water, and even no shoes. , everyone has only one Puji beast."
"And what you have to do is to survive for three days under the attack of countless monsters."
"Of course, you won't be empty-handed all the time. There are dozens of 'supply points' scattered around Mojiao Island, storing a large number of magic weapon components and supplies. If you have the ability, you can assemble magic weapons by yourself to use Fight with monsters."
In the light curtain, the Magic Jiao Island continued to enlarge and became translucent, showing the specific locations of dozens of supply points.
The white Puji continued:
"In the game, the most important concept is 'points', and points are the only indicator to determine your final ranking."
"You can get points for killing monsters. The more powerful you kill, the more points you get."
"In order to test the candidate's all-round ability, there are many ways to earn points. For example, if you are a magic weapon expert, you can assemble and repair magic weapons as much as possible. If you are talented in refining medicine, you can also find various herbs in the jungle. In short, all your actions on Mojiao Island, as long as you can show a certain aspect of cultivation talent, will be converted into points."
"And another important concept is 'trading', which is a rule specially set for contestants who are not good at fighting."
"Points can be traded in the competition. For example, if you have the talent for refining magic weapons and assembled ten flying swords at the supply point, you can trade these flying swords to contestants who are good at fighting, as long as the two parties agree verbally Once the price is paid, the Puji Beast will automatically transfer the points, so there is no need to worry about the other party's refusal, so the competition is also very fair for non-combat contestants."
Li Yao raised his right hand and asked a question:
"Excuse me, I want to ask—for auxiliary players who are not good at fighting, will their lives be in danger if they take risks on the Magic Dragon Island?"
The white poochi shakes its little furry tail:
"Student Li Yao, please don't worry. After the competition starts, there will be more than 20 cultivators patrolling the sky above Mojiao Island, and a special gel capsule is also refined in Xiaoji's body. Once the candidates are in fatal danger, or accumulate When the injury reaches a fatal level, Xiao Ji will automatically spray out the gel to wrap the examinee, and notify the cultivators patrolling in the sky."
"This gel is a very powerful magic weapon. It can protect the safety of candidates in all aspects. With the number of monsters on the Mojiao Island, it is impossible to destroy it. Just don't worry!"
"And during the competition, all the players will temporarily obtain the status of 'soldiers of the federal army'. In case of accidents, they will receive the most appropriate medical treatment and compensation, so there is absolutely no worries."
Li Yao nodded. The Extreme Challenge has been held for hundreds of times, and the most complete protection measures have been in place for a long time. This is too much for him to worry about.
After thinking about it, I asked again: "This is the preliminary round - what are the rules for the final round?"
