At this moment, they are located in this surrounded luminous area, and outside the area is a pure darkness that cannot be seen.
While Bai Zhi and the others were looking around, in the center of this square luminous area, a pyramid-shaped object about half a person's height slowly turned from virtual to real.
At the moment when this half-human-high white pyramid was formed, a white beam of light soared into the sky from the top of the tower and plunged straight into the dark sky.
The light pillars rising into the sky were not only the one on Bai Zhi's side, but also in other places, more white light pillars were rising into the sky one after another. It was impossible to count their number at a glance.
Just as the night fell and they looked around with bewildered expressions, a prompt from the system forcibly popped up in front of each of them.
[Welcome all players to the trial land. This is the audition venue No. 237 for the second phase of player’s personal talent core building.]
[During the trial process, each player please keep in mind the following relevant rules.]
[1: Survival is the first element. You must rely on the strength of the team and individuals to survive in this world.]
[2: Please protect each team’s launch tower. When the team’s launch tower is destroyed, all members of the team will lose the corresponding advancement qualifications and the protection of light. In this case, players should avoid or seek help on their own. Help from other teams.]
[3: No matter what the final player score is, as long as the team’s launch tower still exists, all players in the team will automatically qualify for advancement.]
[4: Players can spend corresponding stored experience to enter the game to obtain corresponding scores. Death in the game will not affect the player, but the consumption caused in the game will not be restored when leaving the game.]
[5: Games are divided into many types, and there are relevant restrictions on opening conditions and the number of people who can enter. Players are advised to choose carefully. Game selection and entry can only be made near the launch tower.]
[6: Players must not rush into the darkness unless fully prepared. It is extremely dangerous in the dark.]
[7: The audition lasts for one month.]
[The remaining safe adaptation period is one hour. After one hour, the audition will officially begin. Players are asked to work hard to obtain higher scores.]
The prompt from the system was actually not long, so within a few minutes, everyone had read it.
"Auditions... Do players need to hold auditions specifically to build their personal talent core?"
He raised his head and looked at the densely rising light pillars in the sky, his face falling in the dark night looked a little strange.
"By the way, what will happen if you don't pass the audition?"
"If you don't die, you will lose the qualification for advancement... although I don't know what the qualification for advancement is."
With a slight shrug, Bai Zhi took the lead and walked towards the launch tower in the center.
"Okay, don't be stunned, hurry up and prepare. The next month will not be easy..."
Volume 2 The Miracle of Micro-Probability: Chapter 1213 Chapter 298 Tower Defense and the Official Auditions
Although the rules of the system are simple, general information is also published.
However, it is a bit hard to say more specifically. Many of the details require players to explore on their own.
The most mentioned thing in those rules was the transmitting tower, so Bai Zhi naturally immediately targeted the transmitting tower located in the center.
Although the area of 100 square meters is not too large, it can still accommodate fourteen of them.
In just a few steps, Bai Zhi walked to the side of the transmitting tower. The transmitting tower was located in the middle, about half a person tall. A white beam of light soared from the top of the tower into the sky.
And just when Bai Zhi touched the tower, a line of light screen slowly appeared in front of him.
[Item name: Launch Tower]
[Type: Special Items]
[Quality: None]
[Special Effect ①: Permanent. The tower cannot be moved or loaded into anything else.]
[Special Effect ②: Delayed damage. Each time you are attacked, your durability is reduced by at most one point.]
[Special effect ③: color change. The color of the light beam emitted by the tower can be set at will.]
[Special Effect ④: Shelter. Within a certain range, protect players within the tower.]
[Durability: 100/100]
[Manufacturer: Anonymous]
[Note ①: Special items are used in the sea selection. Once the launch tower is destroyed, the player team will lose the qualification to advance. Please be sure to protect the launch tower.]
[Remark ②: People always like to pursue the best choice, but the consequences of pursuing the best choice are often counterproductive.
—And it is often those kind wishes that bring them into hell on earth.
—Anonymous Maker.]
"… What do you think?"
After staring at the light screen in front of him for a moment, Bai Zhi turned his head and looked at Chao Mu.
In fact, it wasn't just the opponent, except for the activated polyploid who was vigilantly checking the surrounding situation and a certain spearman, everyone else was basically surrounding him.
"Well...it's a bit hard to say."
Looking at the information on the light screen in front of him, Chao Mu pondered it in his mind before speaking.
"Looking at the introduction, this should be an item created by the player, and judging from the notes, the opponent should still have a painful past... Are we going to defend the tower?"
"So this audition is actually a tower defense game? We have to face monsters from the dark?"
He reached out and pulled the magic hat on his head, and Hei Ye Piaoluo also started to speak.
"Speaking of which, if the durability of this tower is reduced, it should be repairable, right?"
As he said that, Heiye Piaoluo cast his inquiring eyes on Wu Lingmeng. Among the 14 people present, he was the only one who was a fabricator.
"It's impossible. Since it's an audition, then at least it must be basically fair."
Before Wu Lingmeng could speak, Yu Xing spoke with a calm expression.
"The lost durability may be restored, but it will definitely not be repaired by a fabricator."
"That means… "
"Okay, let's set up camp on the spot first."
Putting his hand on his forehead, Bai Zhi stood up from the ground.
“We’ll discuss the specific plans later.”
The total area of their fourteen-person camp is 10x10 square meters. If each square meter is divided into a grid, there are a total of 100 grids. Among them, the transmitting tower located in the center takes up almost the same area. Four grids.
After spending a little time, Huolingmeng built a simple fence around the transmitting tower. In the next month, the transmitting tower located in the center will undoubtedly be their key protection target.
And just after the fence was built, the activated polyploids and the spearmen also made their discoveries.
"...bugs?"
"Yes, there is black mist surging in the surrounding darkness. The mist is basically composed of extremely small insects. I personally do not recommend going deep into the darkness."
While shaking his bitten hand that was dripping with blood, the heron nodded.
"At the same time, in the darkness, all the attributes of your body will decrease rapidly, so I didn't dare to explore too far. I only walked about ten meters."
"Doesn't it matter to you?"
Looking at the dense bite marks on a certain spearman's hand, he couldn't help but look a little dazed.
Although she said she had no interaction with the other party, her only impression was that the soup he made was delicious, but she went deep into the darkness at the very beginning... Is there such a thing
"Don't worry, it's okay."
Throwing his hands, the heron grinned at the final observation.
At the same time, the wounds on his hands were rapidly recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye, returning to their original appearance in the blink of an eye.
Final observation: "..."
… She suddenly became very interested in him.
"The darkness cannot be dispelled, nor can it be illuminated. It is better to wait patiently for the audition to begin."
After throwing a magic talisman into the darkness nearby but seeing no reaction, Tachibana shook his head.
-To be honest, she didn't think this audition would be able to stump them.
… … … … … … … …
The area they were in was a barren wasteland. They were stepping on black sand and gravel, with no trace of green in it. Fortunately, the ground was still flat.
Fourteen people each chose a place as their own temporary camp, but it was said to be a temporary camp, but in fact it was just that. After all, the total space was only that big.
The better ones can have a coffin to sleep in like Black Maple Leaf, but the worse ones can only spread a wooden board on the ground and sit cross-legged on it like a certain spearman.
Seeing that Yu Xing was unwilling to expose his secret store, Bai Zhi was more casual. He didn't have any logistical props or anything like that, so after randomly looking for a grid near the launch tower... he took out one from his backpack. Lying down on the lounge chair.
If there was an old hen pecking at rice in front of him, the scene would be quite appropriate...
There are logistical props like Wo Ling Meng, but in this case, either they occupy too much space, or they are not suitable for the current situation, so after thinking about it for a while, Wo Ling Meng also followed someone. A lounge chair was moved out next to him.
A minute later, with the support of his teammates, a certain majestic bird followed suit and built a recliner... So Bai Zhi was once again caught in the middle.
Bai Zhi: "..."
Under the premise that all possible places have been explored, all they can do now is wait.
An hour passed slowly while facing the various looks with various emotions coming from people around me.
And just when the countdown in the system column reached zero and the audition officially started, countless strange sounds came from the surrounding darkness from all directions.
—Like a ghost crying.
Volume 2 The Miracle of Improbable Probability: Chapter 1214 Chapter 299 Offensive and Defensive Battles and... Bad News
In the darkness, all kinds of strange noises could be heard.
However, the elite players gathered here at this moment not only have no worries about this situation, but also have some vague expectations.
Among them, those who are more aggressive, such as the Heron or the Activated Polyploid, are already gearing up at this moment, staring at the darkness in front of them, looking eager to try.
About ten seconds later, at the edge of darkness, traces of the monster quietly entered the shimmering camp.
These monsters are about one meter tall, with brown wooden rotten bodies, covered with yellow leaves, and arms made of branches rustling.
"...Treant?"
Looking at the monsters that appeared in groups outside the Shimmer Camp in front of him, Zigong Heron couldn't help but feel a little stunned.
After these tree men appeared, they completely ignored the players and rushed straight towards the launch tower in the center. Looking down from a high place, they looked like a beach with all the people around them. The tree people are the tide rising up on the beach.
Although there is a barrier of darkness, it is not clear how many types of tree people there are in the darkness, but judging from the scene of these tree people swarming past from all directions like a tide, the number is definitely not small.
Fourteen players were more than enough to defend the area in four directions. Like the activated polyploid who couldn't wait any longer, while his whole body glowed with a faint golden light, he rushed forward directly like a tank.
The route he took was the pure body-to-sage stream, and his fighting methods were all based on seeing the true seal under his fists.
As soon as he came into contact with the tree people that came over, several tree people were completely smashed by his fists. Those seemingly hard tree people were like fragile tofu in front of him.
While one person on the activated polyploid side defended a line, others in other directions were not idle either.
A spear in the hand of a certain spearman was like lightning. The surging trees couldn't even get close to him in a radius of one meter, and they were stabbed through one by one by the elusive spear in his hand.
"The weak point is the head position."
While stabbing a tree man in front of him through with one shot, the heron spoke at the right time.
In terms of efficiency, he was not as good as the muscular man next to him at the beginning. Those trees were like punching a kid in front of the opponent's terrifying power...
Often it would take him at least three shots to kill a tree man, but after he found the fatal weakness of these tree men, his efficiency skyrocketed.
After these monsters are killed, their bodies will disappear quickly, so it doesn't affect anything.
However, compared with the simple and simple speed of clearing monsters of the activated polyploid and the heron, the other two parties are a bit fantasy.
Among the fourteen players present, they were actually vaguely divided into four groups, the four-person team of Yanhuo Fengyue, the four-person team of Bai Zhi, the four-person team of Yuxing, and the two people Tachibana Kazuko squad.
Therefore, in terms of the distribution of defense, it is actually distributed in this way. The ones on Yanhuo Fengyue's side are the activated polyploids, the ones on Bai Zhi's side are Zonglu, and on the side that Yu Xing is responsible for, the ones who are shooting are the activated polyploids. The person who finally observed this avid muscle lover with a princess cut hairstyle... er girl.
Facing a swarm of wind wasp pupae, a tree man came in front of her. She didn't know when she had a sheathed sword in her hand. After leaning down slightly and making a posture to draw the sword, she faced the surging waves. The tree man drew his sword and chopped it off lightly.
