The advantages mentioned by the old man Verne were fully confirmed in the following trials.
While other students in Astronomy Class 08-1 were preparing for Flick, the five hunters of the Forgiveness Hunting Team had already walked out of the camp and began their journey of exploration. Of course, on the first day, classmate Li Meng was still a veteran.
Staying at the camp, mixing commonly used magic potions for teammates, and eating hummus cooked by Verne four or five times a day.
Adapting to the new world through food is the oldest and safest way to prepare flecks.
In the following six days, Zheng Qing led his hunting team to sweep through the unknown areas marked on the map at a rate of completing one project per day, from easy to difficult. Because of their first-mover advantage, they were always better than others every time.
The risk in the area chosen by the person is lower, and the completion speed of basic exploration tasks is correspondingly faster. Therefore, there is more time to rest and sufficient time to complete additional trial tasks.
This forms a very beneficial positive feedback.
By the end of the penultimate day of the trial on August 29, the points on the trial cards of the six young wizards of the Sin Hunting Team had risen from sixty points at the end of the first day to an average of one.
One hundred and fifty points, firmly occupying the first place in the overall standings.
Among them, except Li Meng, the other five people can get ten points of basic items almost every day, but there is a slight gap in the reward points.
For example, on the second day of the trial, Fatty Xin used his own potion to clean up a nest of Deng's termites and received an additional five points; on the third day of the trial, Zhang Jixin smashed an Earthbinder and received eight points.
Zheng Qing and Jiang Yu, on the evening of the fifth day of the trial, worked together to purify a lush area of rot, and each received ten additional rewards.
Because Li Meng's score was one point lower than the others when she first landed, and then she wasted another day preparing for Flick, so by the day before the end of the trial, her total score could reach 120 points.
.
Compared with some unlucky people - such as Duan Xiaojian who plunged into the thunder clouds after leaving the cabin - Li Meng's score is satisfactory enough, but compared with his own family, this score is slightly inferior.
,.
As the saying goes, what is less than what is above is more than what is below.
Therefore, after the sixth day of the trial, the little witch kept a straight face and looked at everyone with a look of bitterness and hatred. Even when Jiang Yu cooked a bowl of sweet licorice bean paste for her,
It didn't make her feel better.
“Refried beans, refried beans, refried beans!”
Li Meng poked the dinner on the plate with a wooden spoon, while glaring at Zheng Qing fiercely, as if he was poking the shameless scumbag opposite him with a knife, muttering in his mouth: "I'm always hawk-like all the time."
Bean refried beans...don’t you have anything else to eat?”
"The ghoul's neck meat is quite chewy, but you won't eat it."
Zheng Qing was so stared at that his whole body was hairy, and he subconsciously twisted his buttocks, as if there were a few hard thorns growing on the stool: "There are also fried spiders, sandworm sauce... It's good to find food in the black prison, you know
, the last time I came to the Black Prison..."
"The last time you came to the Black Prison, you saw that the prisoners could only eat bones and dregs."
Li Meng rolled his eyes and helped Zheng Qing say what he wanted to say in advance. At the end, he poked the refried beans on the plate and said disdainfully: "Can you say something new? You have already said this.
A hundred times."
"Cute!"
Jiang Yu tapped the spoon in her hand in warning: "Although the preparations for Flick have been completed, continuing to eat local ingredients can strengthen our connection with this world, which is very important for this trial. Don't lose your temper!
"
The little witch curled her lips, not daring to continue choking after all. She lowered her head and began to eat the refried beans on her plate, but her spoon still made a clanging sound.
Zheng Qing quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
A bamboo skewer was stretched out next to it, and a large, roasted and shiny spider was poked on the skewer.
"The fried spider you want." The fat man didn't know because he was deaf, or he only heard a small part, thinking that Zheng Qing wanted a fried spider: "The sandworm sauce is gone, but there are still some pickled termite eggs, do you want it?
Want some?"
Termite termites are poisonous, and their eggs have a peculiar spicy flavor after being pickled, which is particularly delicious when mixed with hummus.
Zheng Qing followed his advice and not only stirred a spoonful into the bean paste, but even applied a thick layer on the fried spider.
Just as he was about to continue his dinner, he found that the fat man was still looking at him eagerly.
"What are you doing again!" The young public-funded student reluctantly put down the bamboo stick in his hand and sighed.
The fat man blinked.
"Where's that little snake of yours? Why don't you let it out for some air?" He rubbed his hands happily, as if I'm going to help you take care of it for a while: "... After the edamame was driven away, we only have it.
A pet."
In the trials held by the school, pets, alchemy dolls, and anything else that may additionally improve students' magic abilities are prohibited. However, there are no regulations on what to do if a pet finds its owner on its own and follows it.
Maodou is a dog with the blood of the Tindalos hound, so he can hide in the gaps in the horn-shaped space and time to avoid detection by the school.
Therefore, when the second morning of the trial meeting started, this gray dog meowed and ran around in the tent, not only offending several young wizards of the hunting team, but also the mortal in charge of this camp.
Old Erna was also stunned, having no idea where this dog that had not triggered the warning magic came from.
After some urgent contact and discussion, the innocent classmate Zheng Qing kept his poor score, but Maodou was captured by the angry camp director and thrown back to school.
As for the little snake the fat man mentioned, it was the little green snake hidden in Zheng Qing's ear.
On the first day of the trial, after several young wizards passed through the thunderclouds unscathed, Fatty became extremely curious about the methods Zheng Qing used. He used his reporter's nature and asked various questions.
Zheng Qing also wanted to talk to everyone, so when he was exploring the first unknown area, he released the little green snake and met the hunters of the Forgiveness Hunting Team.
Of course, he will definitely not tell his teammates the true identity of this little green snake - if he dares to reveal that this little green snake is a trace of the spirit that has not been completely wiped out from the original body of the Sea Monster King before he advanced, then he must tell the truth to his teammates.
Companions explain more.
Sometimes having too many secrets can be really troublesome.
Every lie that covers the truth must be covered up with more lies. If you don't want to continue lying, then staying silent is the only smart thing to do.
Back to business.
Although Fatty didn't know the little green snake's true identity, its beautiful heterochromatic eyes and the strange magic power that permeated its body made him particularly obsessed with it, so much so that he pestered Zheng Qing every day, wanting to see more of it.
