The room door is locked and the curtains are drawn.
Using hazy eyes and wide-area vision, he scanned the surroundings to make sure that there was nothing unusual about the neighboring students and that they had all fallen asleep. Then Cheng Lin turned over and released the puppet from the initial space.
There were no special effects when he appeared, he just appeared in the room out of thin air.
The five-core puppet is nearly two meters tall, much taller than Cheng Lin. It is covered in silver-white metal armor and holds a spear. The position of its eyes is currently in a black screen. It feels like a middle-world knight in the movie, but the shape is more beautiful.
Quite a visual impact.
"Tsk tsk tsk."
Cheng Lin walked around the metal lump twice, looked at it for himself, and found that this thing was really strange.
It looks retro in appearance, and no complicated structure can be seen through the armor.
The main body inside is a metal model similar to a humanoid, and then there are many lines imprinted on the surface, and the interior is filled with imprinted "magic patterns", or spiritual energy fields.
This is probably the style of the creations of psychic technological civilization, which is completely different from the sophisticated robots in the impression.
"Let's see the effect."
Cheng Lin turned over his hand and took out the central crystal ball.
The crystal ball is actually not heavy, and can be lifted with just one hand. Now it is completely blank inside, with only a little bit of light floating around, in a dormant state.
Cheng Lin tentatively constructed a connected aura field in the palm of his hand.
After a while, he felt a ray of spiritual energy being sucked into his body.
After that, the crystal ball lit up, its light soft and warm.
At the same time, a voice emerged in Cheng Lin's mind:
[The central system has been activated and is scanning itself...]
[Single target that can be connected is found within the scanning range]
[Target information: Standard five-core puppet, status: intact (power off), energy: 98%, connectable, do you want to connect? 】
"Yes, connect!"
【Starting to connect...】
[Connection successful]
…
"Beep beep..."
Cheng Lin only saw the puppet suddenly make a soft sound, like a system activation.
Immediately, the dark part of its facial armor suddenly lit up with two groups of red fireflies, like eyes, and a spiritual radiance flashed on its surface before disappearing.
At this moment, Cheng Lin clearly felt that the puppet had been turned on.
In the center of the crystal ball, the full-length image of this puppet also appeared.
"How to control it?"
Cheng Lin tentatively controlled the puppet. According to his memory, he only needed to transmit the instructions and thoughts he wanted to send into the crystal ball, and he could use it to control the puppet.
However, this is only theoretical and written in the book. As for the actual operation process, Cheng Lin has never experienced it. This is the first time.
"To the left!"
Cheng Lin thought tentatively in his mind.
After a short delay, the puppet image in the crystal ball turned to the left.
In reality, the nuclear-free puppet in the room also turned left.
This surprised Cheng Lin very much.
"Is it that simple?"
He thought this thing might be complicated, but he didn't expect it to be so easy.
"Turn right!"
The puppet turns right and returns to the original direction.
"Turn backwards!"
"Take a break!"
"stand at attention!"
"Straddle!"
Kakakaka.
The puppet continued to perform various movements according to Cheng Lin's instructions, and the movements were quite standard. Cheng Lin felt that the puppet's military training movements were much more standard than his own military training.
"Turn left or right!"
Card……
The puppet froze in place, motionless.
At the same time, he actually sensed the feedback signal from the puppet through the crystal ball:
【……】
Cheng Lin smiled, is he so smart?
However, he knew that this was not a real reaction of emotions by the puppet, but just a normal signal feedback.
Next, Cheng Lin tried commands such as "walk in unison" and "walk in step". However, the puppet was made of metal shell after all. It made a loud bang when it walked and made too much noise. Cheng Lin only tried it briefly. As for fighting, it was really difficult.
There is no space to perform, so I can only try again later when I find an opportunity.
The puppet was taken back into space.
Cheng Lin calculated the energy consumption of the puppet.
This puppet currently comes with a "five-core power", which is at 98% energy, and should be able to be used for a period of time. When this core energy is used up, the remaining cores will need to be replaced.
Cheng Lin turned his attention to the pile of power cores in the initial space.
Most of the first and second cores were handed over to the college and the monthly exam results were exchanged. After all, this low-level core was really useless to him.
What he reserves the most is three-core power.
After counting, there were probably hundreds of them. The three-core power would definitely not be enough to charge the five-core puppet, but even if one three-core could support the puppet to hit a blow, Cheng Lin felt that it was still a good deal.
"You must know that this is a five-core puppet. In terms of pure strength, it is not inferior to a fifth-grade and first-level monk."
Although this puppet cannot see the light of day, if there is any critical moment, it is definitely powerful enough to use it as a trump card.
Cheng Lin felt very satisfied.
To sum up this exploration, the harvest is really great.
Although there is no breakthrough in terms of personal cultivation, I have gained a powerful trump card and a reward for winning the monthly exam, which is very cost-effective.
"Speaking of which, I don't know when the results will be announced, as well as the monthly exam rewards..."
Cheng Lin was looking forward to it. It was already dawning at this time, but Cheng Lin went to take a bath, relax his body, and then got into bed and fell asleep.
Today is Tuesday.
However, considering that the students had just finished exploring and needed to recuperate, the academy temporarily took a day off, and most of the students fell asleep immediately. After all, even the practitioners felt deeply tired after going back and forth.
…
…
When Cheng Lin woke up from his dream again, it was already noon.
"Dingling bell..."
The alarm clock rang cheerfully on the table. Cheng Lin reached out his hand and hesitated, but did not smash it this time.
Sitting on the bed, wrapped in a small quilt, Cheng Lin took out his mobile phone and opened the college's internal chat software.
Later I discovered that the class group had already reached 99+.
"These people don't sleep, so they can talk..."
Cheng Lin muttered something, clicked on the group chat, and after a few glances, Cheng Lin's eyes suddenly widened.
"Gather, gather, let's go see the monthly exam results together?"
"There are still fifteen minutes until the results are released, and I'm already so excited that I can't sit still."
"Are you all so confident...I'm a little panicked..."
"Why are you panicking? Anyway, according to the rules, as long as you can get on the list and gain something, you can redeem the rewards. The worst thing is that the rewards will be less."
There has been a stir in the class group.
Cheng Lin was sleepy and didn't react for a while.
Are you going to publish the list?
So fast?
Moreover, it doesn’t seem like you can just send a spreadsheet and be done with it, but do you need to go out and take a look?
Cheng Lin was confused and had to look through the records for a while before he finally figured it out.
The notice from the college came out two hours ago, saying that the rankings will be released at 1:30 in the afternoon at the central square of the college. They will not issue electronic forms, but physical printed rankings. This time they will release the internal rankings of the college. As for the two
The college's comprehensive ranking will be released later.
"Didi!"
Just after reading the news, Cheng Lin received a message from Sun Xiao, inviting him to go out and watch the results.
"Okay, I'll go out right now."
Cheng Lin nodded. Although he was confident, for some reason, he felt a little nervous at this moment.
I got up, washed my face, got dressed and went downstairs. I saw Sun Xiao and the others were waiting downstairs, and even Hua Bei was there.
Cheng Lin was puzzled, thinking why would you, a novice who never took the monthly exam, join in the fun?
However, despite saying this, a group of people still flocked to the college square.
By this time, many students had gathered.
It was densely packed with people.
It was noisy and seemed lively.
"I'm going, are there so many people?" Cheng Lin said in surprise.
Sun Xiao smiled and said: "After all, this is the first time the rankings have been released. Strictly speaking, it is the first major ranking. Both those who participated and those who did not participate came to see it."
Cheng Lin nodded.
I thought this was apparently a list for the monthly exam, but in fact, it wasn’t a status list?
If nothing unexpected happens, those at the top of this list will definitely have a bright future in the future. Everyone is in the same system, and the future may be the relationship between superiors and subordinates.
This list is not just about performance, but also linked to real factors such as resources, future, status, etc.
How can you not care?
A group of people squeezed into the crowd and kept approaching the central square.
Unlike most students who are nervously looking forward to it, Cheng Lin and others already have certain psychological expectations for their own results, and now the rest is just certain.
Many people also noticed their small group, so many eyes were cast on them.
Most of them fell on Fu Zhongting and Cheng Lin.
After all, they are publicly known as the two leaders in the academy's cultivation.
Many people are curious and speculate about their grades and who is stronger and who is weaker.
"Fu Zhongting should probably be number one, he is already at the peak of his first rank."
"That's not necessarily true. Cheng Lin... is just a dark horse. No one can tell for sure. Furthermore, I heard a rumor that Cheng Lin has already advanced to the second level."
"What? No way, where did you hear the news?"
The students were pointing and talking.
Most of it is normal discussion.
There are also a small number of people with darker thoughts who say sarcastic remarks, such as "cultivation is not the same as strength", "what's the use of high cultivation?", "I think they are just showing off, and when the results come out, I'm afraid their secrets will be exposed."
Got it." and the like.
Hua Bei was so angry after hearing this that she was about to explode on the spot.
The two parties involved, Cheng Lin and Fu Zhongting, looked indifferent and did not take these comments to heart at all.
No matter how much you say, you still have to look at the facts.
It's noisy.
Suddenly a burst of noise came from afar.
"Someone is coming!"
Cheng Lin looked up and saw a group of people walking towards them. The leader among them was Vice President Kong of the college.
When the students saw it, they immediately separated like a tide and made way for a road.
The group of people came to the square, to the left of the library, where a tall, flat wall was covered with a huge red cloth.
It is tens of meters long and wide, swaying gently in the breeze.
Everyone knows that under the red cloth is the big list posted on the wall of the entire building.
The reason why we did not distribute spreadsheets but in such a seemingly exaggerated way was obviously to give the students a greater impact.
Vice President Kong stood under the red cloth.
Looking at the dense crowd of young people in the square, their faces were rosy and there was a hint of sadness.
He spoke softly, and under the influence of spiritual energy, his voice spread throughout the large square.
Cheng Lin originally thought that the vice president would make a lengthy speech.
However, what was waiting was just four short words:
"Start releasing the list."
As soon as he finished speaking, someone next to him tore off the red cloth.
In the wind, the red silk fluttered down like a flame falling from the sky.
And in the flames, the huge list with a personal name printed in black letters reflected brilliant brilliance in the midday sun.
The square was silent for a moment.
Everyone looked up.
The first thing to look at is naturally the top one.
Cheng Lin also raised his head, and then a shallow smile line appeared on his face as expected.
Results of the first monthly examination of the Ninth Academy of Spirituality:
