Xu Heng originally didn’t care much about the freshman competition.
At first, I just wanted to get first place, help Tianxiang University become famous, and slap Tiansi University in the face.
However, after reading the reward content, he became more and more certain that he must take first place.
Specific rewards for school team competitions.
First place: 10,000 bottles of solar terms liquid, 100 bottles of concentrated solar terms liquid, and ten solar terms enhancers.
Second place: 8,000 bottles of solar terms liquid, 80 bottles of concentrated solar terms liquid, and ten healing potions.
…
Among these rewards, there is no need to mention solar terms liquid. The concentrated version of solar terms liquid is worth ten bottles of ordinary solar terms liquid.
But the highlight is the ten seasonal enhancers, a potion that can enhance seasonal abilities. It is extremely expensive. The average annual output of the entire Scorpio Continent is only a hundred.
And this can only be obtained by the top schools.
As for the second place healing potion, although it is also expensive, one dose is comparable to one treatment from a master-level Spring Festival Master, but it is still not as valuable as the seasonal enhancer.
For Xu Heng, this seasonal enhancer is even more valuable.
He only needs to take one, and even if it only increases the basic maintenance time of [Without a Trace] by one second, it is equivalent to an increase of six seconds.
This directly affects the ability of solar terms and has nothing to do with solar terms.
So taking one pill is equivalent to taking six pills for others.
The key is that this thing can only be taken once and it will have no effect.
Then, we must win the first place in this freshmen competition.
What's more, there is also a prize for the strongest new student, and the rewards are also very attractive. You can actually customize a weapon and personally refine it by the master-level Mang Zhong Season Master.
Whatever weapon you want, the Grandmaster will refine it for you, and all the best materials will be used. Not to mention how tempting it is.
"Tianxiang University? Who among you is Xu Heng?"
At this time, a group of students wearing pure white combat uniforms passed by the dining table of Xu Heng and others carrying dinner plates, suddenly stopped and asked.
They recognized the combat uniforms of Tianxiang University. The black and white colors were very conspicuous here.
But there was no need for everyone to answer. After scanning around, their eyes all fell on Xu Heng.
After all, he is the most handsome, and his photo has appeared in newspapers before, so it is not difficult to recognize him.
"Are you Xu Heng? I heard that you rejected our school's admissions and threatened to make us fail in the freshman competition this year?" A boy with the same outstanding appearance looked at Xu Heng and asked with a smile.
"Yes, I did say that." Xu Heng nodded in response.
"remarkably brave!"
The boy nodded and raised a thumb, then turned his thumb down: "But unfortunately, we are destined not to overturn this year. We will always be the first. This is a team competition, not an individual competition. Do you understand?"
"Scorpio Continent's college entrance examination results this year ranked among the top ten in the state. Only you went to Tianxiang University. The other nine people are all in our Tiansi University, and we also have a state champion from Lion Continent.
"So you are very unlucky, but this year is the strongest year for our Tiansi University. We will definitely guard the school's honor."
After the boy finished speaking, a confident smile appeared on his face.
"Zhou Chong, go back and eat."
At this time, another boy came up behind him, with a more handsome appearance and an indifferent expression. He glanced at Xu Heng coldly, said something calmly, and then turned and left.
When the boy named Zhou Chong heard this, he nodded cooperatively and left, but before leaving, he grinned at Xu Heng again.
"Inexplicable." Xu Heng shrugged his shoulders and continued eating.
Director Zhang had already given them the lists and information of students from all prestigious schools participating this time.
But Xu Heng didn't even look at it. A group of Descaling Realm opponents had nothing to study.
"You must pay attention to the boy at the end just now. His name is Lin Tianyi, the Beginning of Winter Season Master. He is on the eighth level of descaling. I heard that he may break through to the ninth level in the near future." Teacher Chen couldn't help but remind him.
"It doesn't matter."
Xu Heng didn't care, and after taking a mouthful of expensive rice, he said: "By the way, Teacher Chen, there are a few bottles of drinks in my room, can you drink them? I looked at the prices above, and they don't seem expensive..."
"Don't drink, don't drink. The price of the drinks in the room is ten times the normal price. Whatever you want to drink, the teacher will buy it for you later." Teacher Chen's face immediately hardened.
"Oh okay, then the snacks in the room..."
"Don't eat it, the teacher will buy it for you."
"Ah, the full-body SPA service in the room..."
"Don't scream, teacher, I'll help you... eh? What did you say?"
…
After dinner, Xu Heng still couldn't get what he wanted and couldn't understand what full-body SPA meant.
Newspapers from all over the country sent reporters to conduct pre-match interviews.
Xu Heng and Cheng Shuyan were named by several school leaders and asked to be interviewed as representatives.
Xu Heng refused on the spot and didn't want to go at all.
But the school leaders personally spoke out, saying that Xu Heng was the best-looking and represented the face of Tianxiang University. If he didn't go, who else could take his place?
Xu Heng had no choice but to go reluctantly.
But when I went there, I discovered that the so-called pre-match interview seemed to be a trash-talking session.
As soon as he sat down, a reporter said: "Student Xu, a contestant from Tiansi University claimed that he would make some ignorant and arrogant people accept the cruelty of reality. We asked him who he was referring to, and he directly mentioned your
Name, do you have any response to this?"
"I think..." Xu Heng pondered for a while and said, "He is right. In this freshman competition, I will let Tiansi University accept the cruelty of reality."
Many reporters were stunned when they heard this.
"No, classmate Xu, what I just meant was..." The reporter who asked the question reacted and was about to explain.
Xu Heng interrupted directly: "I didn't misunderstand what you meant. What you just said was my response."
Immediately, he stood up directly: "Your exclusive interview is just to create a topic. In fact, it doesn't have to be so troublesome. I can ask you to let it out now. Tiansi University is destined not to get the first place this year, and even the grandmaster can't save it.
They, I said so!"
After the words fell, Xu Heng turned around and left.
After many reporters at the scene were stunned, uproar broke out, camera flashes flashed crazily, and shutter sounds continued one after another.
Cheng Shuyan, who was sitting aside with a stunned look on his face, was completely ignored.
"What am I doing here?" She wondered if she was living in a dream.
…
The next day, as the newspaper was published, Xu Heng's words instantly caused a stir.
There was also a lot of discussion in the competition hall.
"Holy shit, the top scorer is different. He speaks so domineeringly."
"What's the use of being domineering? The harder you speak now, the harder you will be slapped in the face by Tiansi University later."
"Tiansi University has won the 100-year championship of the freshmen competition. This is their signature. How could it possibly overturn?"
"Over the years, countless geniuses have threatened to let go of harsh words, but what happened to them? They have been laughed at for several years."
"There is no way. The strongest group of people every year go to Tiansi University, and the final ranking is based on the number of wins in the school. How can we compete?"
"This year they also recruited the top pick from Lion Continent. This lineup is terrible."
…
Students in many schools are not optimistic about Xu Heng.
Xu Heng's personal strength may be very strong, but one person is not enough to support the entire freshman competition record.
The final ranking is based on the total number of wins of the ten participating players.
No matter how strong you are on your own, it is possible that you can still be stronger than ten people. Even if you are really that strong, the amount of solar energy fluid that can be replenished during the game is limited. Once the solar energy is exhausted, you will not be able to continue fighting no matter how strong you are.
Therefore, Xu Heng's harsh words were not favored by anyone.
School leaders, including Director Zhang, also gave Xu Heng some earnest persuasion to help him build his psychology in advance.
It's nothing more than saying that winning or losing doesn't matter, just being strong is enough.
This is because he is afraid that he will be slapped in the face in the end and his mentality will not be able to bear it.
Xu Heng was too lazy to respond. No matter how much he said, it would be better to respond with the final result.
Amid this discussion, the first round of the freshman competition also began.
Everyone entered the center of the competition hall one by one.
This is a platform similar to the college entrance examination simulation, except that it is larger and can accommodate thousands of students, but it is not crowded at all.
It is still surrounded by huge glass on all sides.
Their battle will take place in another space, and they will also carry protection cards with them. Once they die inside, they will be teleported out directly, and there will be no real casualties.
This allows students to completely let go of their hands and feet to compete.
Outside the platform is a large auditorium.
People from various official departments, social business circles and family forces, including the battlefield army, came to observe the scene.
A huge 360-degree screen was specially installed above the clubhouse to continuously project images of competitions in various arenas.
At the same time, these images will also be technically processed and broadcast live to every university in Scorpio Continent.
This also means that more than half a million people will be watching this freshman game.
"September 20, 273 N.C., this year's Scorpio Continent University Freshman Competition begins now!" The host's voice echoed through the loudspeaker.
The entire audience also burst into warm applause.
Xu Heng and more than a thousand other students stood on a huge glass platform, each wearing a protective tag with their own number on it.
According to the competition specifications, they will be transported into the simulation space.
There are only various arenas in the space, and opponents are randomly matched.
However, students from the same school will not be matched together.
"Everyone, try your best to win this round." Xu Heng looked at the other nine students around him and said encouragingly.
"Don't worry, we will do our best." Everyone responded.
Regardless of whether Xu Heng wants to compete for first place, they also come to the competition to get a good ranking, bring glory to the school, and fight for themselves.
"Xu Heng, do you really want Tianxiang University to take first place?" Cheng Shuyan asked in a low voice.
"Then I'll try my best to win more!" Cheng Shuyan nodded.
"Okay, come on!" Xu Heng also nodded.
Then, as the glass on all sides shimmered, all the thousands of students on the platform disappeared.
The hall burst into roaring applause again.
At the same time, the huge display screen above the platform also began to display the environment in the simulated space.
When thousands of students meet in pairs, there are more than 600 competition arenas.
No matter how big the screen is, it can't accommodate so many people, so it basically only shows the arena where students from prestigious schools are.
Xu Heng was naturally among them.
At this time, he was already in a volcanic land, surrounded by mountain passes that were spewing fire. The ground under his feet was also cracked, and streams of hot magma flowed between the cracks.
The air in my nose felt a little hot when I breathed it.
"The Flame Arena, this has no impact on the Xiaohan Festival." In the audience, Director Zhang found the arena where Xu Heng was on the screen and said calmly.
"But if we encounter this kind of competition during Xiaoshu Festival, our seasonal ability will probably be strengthened."
As soon as Teacher Chen finished speaking, another figure appeared across from Xu Heng, a student wearing a light blue combat uniform.
"this is……"
She hurriedly flipped through the list information in her hand, then raised her head with an embarrassed look on her face: "Well, it's really a summer holiday..."
