The little fat boy didn't understand it until he returned to school.
Why does Boss Gu want to help him?
Could it be because I look cute?
Or is he unique and discerning, discovering that he seems to be average and ordinary, but is actually a fool on the outside and wise on the inside, with the appearance of a great emperor?
In fact, Gu Ci is just a person who simply likes to work hard.
It's easy to help, no special reason is needed.
Furthermore, for a second-level combat card master to use a third-level star card, it is not as simple as crossing the first level to the second level.
The third level is the first watershed for star card masters, and this is no joke.
When a first-level battle card master uses a second-level star card, the star power will basically be drained, and the strength of the star card may also be weakened to a certain extent.
But it can still be used, and it is a good choice to use it as a ultimate move.
However, if a second-level combat card master uses a third-level star card, even if his star power is drained, he may not be able to use it.
Most of the time, it is the second-level combat card master who screws up on his own.
Even if the star power is empty, the card cannot be activated.
Using cards beyond levels is undoubtedly a double-edged sword. If you don’t have particularly outstanding talents, it’s better not to try it easily.
The little fat man himself knows this too.
Without using other star cards, he can play this fire bull spell.
The attack power of more than 1800 is enough to instantly kill any second-level card master.
But the problem is that spell cards that are not large-scale AOE are difficult to hit the enemy accurately.
The Fire Ox Technique also needs to be charged up. Unless the opponent is a fool, they will not be able to stand still and let you hit them.
If you want to unleash the power of this third-level epic card, it must be used in conjunction with other star cards.
Therefore, the little fat man focused his last two training sessions on the growth of his star power.
We’ll talk about techniques and stuff later.
…
Two days flew by.
Friday.
Gu Ci and Xia Zhi made an appointment to meet at Xingxie Building.
In order to avoid being late and affecting the girl's exam, Gu Ci chose to go to the cafeteria to have breakfast for free.
A piece of whole wheat toast as a base, with two fried eggs and a piece of ham on top, arranged in the shape of a smiling face.
Full of support.
After Xia Zhi tested her star power, she quickly ran to the cafeteria.
She waited too long for the elevator, so she took the stairs directly.
Seeing Gu Ci from a distance, the girl shouted slightly excitedly.
"Brother Gu Ci!"
The people dining around looked up and felt much better.
If you meet a beautiful girl early in the morning, you must be lucky today.
Although this beautiful girl is not here to find them...
Xia Zhi ran all the way to Gu Ci and sat down.
"Is the test finished?"
Gu Ci pushed the extra bowl of soy milk in front of the girl.
Before the official start of the Special Recruitment Examination, there is a small test to confirm the candidates' star power.
The requirement for taking the exam is that your star power reaches at least level two.
If you are not at the second level and insist on registering, the staff will persuade you to leave at this stage to avoid wasting everyone's time.
Xia Zhi is obviously fine.
Not only that, she also received special care from Xinglan Academy.
"My star power is measured to be 2.8, so I can go directly to the second round."
Xia Zhi looked like she was begging for praise.
The passing line for the test is 2.0, which means that the tester has just broken through to the second level and barely meets the reference requirements.
As for Xia Zhi, with a 2.8, it is almost reaching the third level, and there is no problem in directly entering the semi-finals.
Of course, having said that, the exam must be as fair as possible.
The symbolic exemption of Xia Zhi from one round of exams was just to express Xinglan Academy's attitude towards geniuses.
Gu Ci never expected that Xia Zhi would improve so quickly.
Although he is faster than Xia Zhi, it is different.
As a time traveler, Gu Ci has twice the mental power of ordinary people. There is almost no possibility of failure in normal card making, and they are all high-quality cards.
All in all, his cultivation speed is conservatively estimated to be more than 20 times faster than the average card maker, which is a real comparison.
Xia Zhi, on the other hand, could barely keep up with his speed.
Gu Ci was certain that as long as Xia Zhi calculated her star power well, she would definitely be able to skip levels and use third-level cards.
"Here, here you go." Gu Ci took out [Frost Slash].
Xia Zhi's eyes brightened slightly and he blinked again: "Brother Gu Ci, where is the epic star card? How much are you going to charge me?"
"I gave it to you for free, just as an early celebration of your admission to Xinglan Academy."
Gu Ci also blinked: "When you get to Xinglan City, don't forget to take care of my business."
Xia Zhi was stunned, and then said in surprise: "Brother Gu Ci, are you going to Xinglan City too?"
Wouldn’t that mean we don’t have to be separated from Brother Gu Ci?
Gu Ci took a sip of soy milk and asked, "Do you think I am old?"
"Aren't you old...?" Xia Zhi didn't understand why Gu Ci suddenly asked this, and quickly shook his head and said: "You are not old, brother Gu Ci, you are still young."
She didn't know Gu Ci's specific age, but he looked to be in his twenties.
If she really wanted to be old, she wouldn't have been confused about whether to call her Gu Ci brother or Gu Ci brother, but just call her uncle.
"So, while I'm still young, I plan to give it a try." Gu Ci said with a smile, "Just in time to see what the outside world looks like."
"Really?"
"Um."
"Great!"
Xia Zhi almost jumped up with joy.
The joy on her rosy little face was so intense that it couldn't be turned away, and her smile was filled with the beauty of youth.
…
Ten o'clock in the morning.
The lottery for the special recruitment examination of Xinglan Academy has begun.
A total of 532 people registered for the exam, and 478 people passed the test and can be referred.
150 of these people are card makers.
They will take the exam on the 11th floor in a temporarily converted exam room using the third-level assessment hall and viewing area.
Regardless of ranking, as long as you can successfully create a third-level star card within an hour, you can become a special admissions student of Xinglan Academy, and you will not occupy the five places in the town.
It is not difficult to see that the card maker's status in Xinglan Academy is slightly higher than that of the card battler.
In fact, the same is true in the Star Card Masters Association, or in society as a whole.
This will become more and more obvious as the star card master's level increases.
Ultimately, it's because the threshold for card makers is too high, and it becomes more difficult to make cards the further you go.
Xinglan Academy does this from a young age, with early detection and early cultivation.
Making a third-level star card, even if it is of ordinary quality, is extremely difficult for a group of seventeen or eighteen-year-old students.
But it is precisely because of this that students who pass the exam are worthy of the word genius and are eligible to become special admissions students of Xinglan Academy.
The remaining battle card masters will compete in a 1-on-1 elimination match at the training ground on the 12th floor.
Fight until there are only 5 people left.
The rules are very simple.
There is no limit on the number of star cards.
There are no restrictions on the types of star cards.
There is no limit to the star card level.
There is no need to be afraid of hurting others.
With the examiner watching from the side, the examinee will not be held responsible if something happens, but the examiner will be blamed entirely.
The students on the court just need to hit hard.
After entering the examination room, you heard the host announcing the last examination rule.
"You can feel free to show your strength to your opponents, but you must remember one thing: no drugs, no drugs, no drugs!"
