Candidates climbed to the top one after another, inevitably attracting Moyu's attention.
Moyu's success in reaching the summit of Dongba was within Moyu's expectation.
After all, this is a guy who has survived more than thirty hunter tests.
But it's hard to tell whether this guy's ability to save his life is higher than his luck, or whether his luck is higher than his ability to save his life, or both.
In a word, the world is huge and full of wonders.
Maybe, some people are born with good luck and have a smooth journey.
Some people are unlucky enough to be struck by lightning many times during their lifetime, and their graves will continue to be struck by lightning after death.
If Dongba's luck is higher than his ability to save his life, after being exposed to telekinesis, he may be able to awaken telekinesis abilities related to "luck".
"How can I collect something..."
Moyu's eyes wandered over Dongba, as if he was looking at a seemingly plump prey.
The ways to obtain rewards from "look and feel" can currently be roughly classified into three types.
One is the way of "defeating powerful enemies in life and death battles" with the highest reward limit.
One is to reward the middle way of "forming a certain relationship or bond".
The last one is the most general way of rewarding "when you make a decision or have some awareness when encountering something".
Just fight against the five scum like Dongba...
If you want to get something from him, there may be only the second way to establish a certain relationship.
The problem is-
What kind of relationship should be entered into?
Friend? Companion? Master and disciple?
Moyu directly eliminated these relationships without even thinking about it.
In terms of his own perception, he doesn't like this guy, it can even be said that he hates him.
Moyu gradually slowed down the speed of swinging the knife, and his eyes showed a thoughtful look.
On his side, he was thinking about how to pluck the wool, but on the other side, Dongba was not calm.
"what happened……"
"Does he know me?! Does he know that I am the 'Rookie Killer Dongba'?!"
"So...did he notice what I did when I touched him just now?!"
"But I didn't do anything!!!"
Dongba was frightened by the look in Moyu's eyes. How could he dare to stand within Moyu's field of vision? He hurriedly retreated behind the crowd with his head lowered, his face full of panic.
Being targeted by a person who looks very dangerous is an extremely bad thing just thinking about it.
In any case, Dongba made up his mind to stay away from Moyu completely.
I even thought of giving up the second level test directly.
Moyu saw Dongba hiding and didn't pay much attention.
There were so many candidates present. In addition to Dongba, Moyu also paid attention to other people with telekinesis abilities.
Among them, what concerned him the most was the blond baby-faced one who reached the top after him and Menqi.
It's not because the other party is also a telepathic person.
Instead, he saw the blond baby-faced man holding a red devil-looking mobile phone.
Judging from various characteristics, he is basically a knight of the Phantom Troupe.
There may be someone else, but the possibility is very slim.
"A knight from the Phantom Troupe... I remember that he did use a hunter's license in the 'You Kexin Chapter'. It turns out he got it this year?"
Moyou would blatantly tease Dongba with his eyes, but would not look at the knight rashly.
He knows the other party's abilities and capabilities...
Putting aside his combat prowess, the knight is the staff officer of the Phantom Troupe. 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 the slightest clue, it is very likely that they will be directly followed and some information will be exposed.
"Let's finish today's mission first."
Moyu stopped thinking and continued to concentrate on swinging the knife.
With ten minutes left before the end of the first level test, Moyu made the final cut.
"10000/10000"
After completing his daily practice, Moyu slowly exhaled a breath of white air, not caring about the eyes of many candidates looking 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, looking sleepy.
"There are still ten minutes left."
He yawned loudly first, and then stretched.
There is no need to check a watch or other tools, you can determine the time at any time just by relying on 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, feeling surprised in his heart, and then looked at Menqi without any trace.
This girl——
From the time he reached the summit to the moment he woke up, had he been releasing his "qi" to cover the fire and the soup pot?
Is that why this fire can burn for so long?
And from such a close distance, he could already smell the invigorating aroma in the soup pot, and could see the curl of heat hovering in the light of thought power.
This scene, which is most unlikely to happen on the top of Mount Alagas, has become a reality because of "thoughts".
"That energy...has some kind of ability to amplify matter? Is this No. 1788 a release type like me? Or does it have the effect of a strengthening type?"
Harriman was surprised and thought about it in his heart.
The ability and characteristics of the release system are not limited to simply releasing mental bombs.
In the same way, the ability characteristics of the strengthening system are not limited to simply increasing the strength of fists and feet.
In view of the abilities' own experiences, preferences, and opinions...
Whether it is a release system or an enhancement system, relatively novel abilities will be derived from the seemingly "mainstream" development direction.
For example, the girl in front of me can actually use 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 into coma.
Perhaps because of the similar genre and style, Harriman began to pay attention to Menchi's existence.
This is because users with radiated abilities who are good at attacking and fighting are very common, but users with radiated abilities who can use the characteristics of the radiated system to develop novel abilities are rare, and can even be said to be rare.
"Whether it's that number 1789 or this number 1788, it's not simple."
While Harriman was thinking to himself, he slowly stood up and prepared to fulfill his duties as an examiner to preside over and control the progress of the first test.
But before that, he couldn't help but look at Moyu who had just finished practicing.
One wielded a 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 that it's too hard?
Harriman, who just wanted to sleep most of the time, shook his head with some sigh, and then walked straight towards the many candidates not far away.
There are still about seven minutes left before the end of the first level test.
The number of candidates who have successfully reached the peak has exceeded two hundred.
"The pass rate of 10% meets expectations."
Harriman stood silently.
There are too many candidates who have qualified for the first level test, so he needs to do this.
Now.
He only needs to wait for the test time to end before he can directly enter the second phase of testing.
After a while.
The first test comes to the last second.
"time up."
Harriman hit the right time and announced. The feeble voice was covered by the mountain wind under the influence of "qi" and reached the ears of every candidate.
"Congratulations on passing the first test."
Harriman's eyes swept across the two hundred and thirty-one candidates present.
Six hours of hiking.
There were nearly two thousand candidates, but in the end, only 231 candidates successfully reached the top.
After listening to Harriman's words, most of the candidates present breathed a sigh of relief.
The candidates who finished the summit overtime are actually doing fine and have been resting for quite some time now.
The candidates who climbed to the top later and stepped up to the points are still exhausted and just want to take a rest and regain their energy before the start of the second test.
All in all, they felt a lot more relaxed after completing the first level of testing.
"So--"
Harriman said seriously: "The second test will begin in five minutes."
"!!!"
As soon as this statement came out, it immediately caused an uproar among the candidates.
"What's the meaning!?"
"The first level of testing is over and the second level of testing should be started immediately?"
"And it's still six hours of mountain climbing, with no time for rest at all?!"
The candidates who had only been able to relax for a few seconds were now tense.
Harriman ignored the objections of the candidates and declared to himself:
"The test content of the second level is to go down the mountain within three hours. 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 level test, the venue was suddenly so quiet that only the sound of the howling wind was left.
"Those who have any objections can be deemed to have given up their qualifications to participate in the second level test."
Harriman's next words directly blocked the candidates' thoughts of opposition that were about to erupt.
Should I give up directly or bite the bullet and start the second level of testing?
Candidates who have finally completed the first test will not choose the latter.
Moyo looked at Harriman who had just announced the exam questions.
The first step is to climb to the top and the second step is to go down.
Therefore, those who complete the summit early will have enough time to rest from the beginning.
Those who barely complete the climb to the top will most likely be eliminated during the descent of the second level because they do not have enough rest time.
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 second test, Harriman took out a red balloon and blew it up in front of everyone.
Soon, a balloon the size of a rubber ball appeared in Harriman's hand.
As everyone watched, Harriman tossed the balloon.
The howling mountain wind instantly carried the red balloon and flew it in one direction.
"Well, please go down the mountain from this direction."
Harriman immediately pointed in the opposite direction and announced the direction down the mountain.
The candidates did not have any comments because the second level test had already begun.
"Asshole examiner..."
The candidates who could only curse Harriman in their hearts then started to move and headed towards the foot of the mountain.
Moyou did not rush ahead this time, but sat in front of the fire and took the hot soup from Menqi.
"call……"
Just taking a sip made me feel warm all over my body.
Being able to drink such a bowl of hot soup that combines "nian" and "superb cooking skills" in such a cold place, Moyu realized what happiness is.
"It seems that Menqi's 'ability tone' has been completely formed."
Moyu finished the hot soup in a few seconds, thinking in his mind:
"Although it is a non-combat ability, you can improve your combat power by learning and mastering the 'Think Bullets' in the future."
Compared with the simple offensive release ability, Moyu felt that Menqi's ability was more precious.
The candidates who started going down the mountain one by one felt mixed emotions when they saw Moyu sitting in front of the fire drinking hot soup.
They were wondering whether they could reach the foot of the mountain safely, but the other party seemed to be traveling to climb the mountain. Not only did he have outstanding abilities, he was also accompanied by a beautiful girl...
What a winner in life!
There really is no harm without comparison.
Adhering to the principle of keeping out of sight, this group of candidates with complicated emotions accelerated their pace down the mountain.
After a while, only Moyou and Menqi were left on the top of the mountain.
"There's no rush, three hours is quite enough."
Moyou looked at Menqi who was quickly packing his things and said with a smile.
"Um."
Menqi nodded.
It's not that she is in a hurry to clean up, but that she is the type who pursues efficiency.
A few minutes later, Menqi finished collecting her things.
When Moyou saw this, he stood up.
"Let's go."
Looking towards the direction where the candidates were going down the mountain, Moyu said softly.
Practice is practice, rest is rest.
We still need to pay attention to the next test.
Moyou walked in front, followed closely by Menqi.
The fact that they can still maintain a relatively good condition after practicing for more than five hours is enough to show their growth over the past year.
Moyu and Menqi walked down the rock wall.
On the way, I saw many other candidates walking very carefully.
In a sense, the "going down" at this moment is more difficult than the "climbing" at the beginning.
But for Moyu and Menqi, it is still a trivial matter.
Despite this, the two men descended the mountain slowly.
To tell the reason——
It's Menqi who is collecting ingredients.
On this route to the bottom of the mountain, you can see a white fruit growing next to the rocks.
In order to collect such wild fruits, we naturally slowed down the mountain.
There is also a certain degree of deviation in the direction of the route.
But the impact is not big.
Moyou accompanied Menqi to dig out various ingredients along the way.
Menqi was as excited as if she had found a treasure.
The food hunter's pursuit and curiosity about unknown ingredients are really vividly reflected in Menqi.
In the eyes of others, how could they imagine that Menqi in this state would have a fierce side.
"The backpack is almost full, it's almost done."
Moyou looked at the bulging backpack on Menqi's back.
Menqi smiled broadly when he heard this, still a little dissatisfied.
Because no food hunter can resist the temptation to collect high-quality ingredients.
Mo You laughed and shook his head, leading the way.
"Um?"
When passing through a rocky terrain, Moyu, who is very sensitive to "thoughts 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 rocks.
And the faint aura of "thoughts of death" originated from the pile of rocks on the rock protrusion.
"Master, what's wrong?"
Menqi asked in confusion when he saw Moyu suddenly stopped halfway.
"There's something wrong here."
Moyu walked to the trapezoidal boulder.
As the distance gets closer, the existence of that wisp of breath becomes more and more obvious.
Despite this, Moyu did not feel threatened, which shows that the intensity of this "thought of death" is average.
What he was more curious about was what was under the rocks.
Yesterday, I probably fell asleep between 3:30 and 4:00 in the middle of the night, and then I woke up at 6:45 in the morning.
This sleep... It's like entering old age ahead of schedule.
Maybe my body is too tired, and my liver area hurts all afternoon today.
Alas, I don’t know when I will be able to have a good sleep.
In the past, sleeping for a whole day was as easy as eating and drinking...
