Elite Mages’ Academy

When Xiao Lin opened his eyes again, he found that he was standing in a classroom. The size of the classroom was about the same as that of a high school. There were more than a hundred people in it, which seemed quite crowded.

The unique tone of the central intelligent computer rang in everyone's mind.

Entrance test begins!

Required task: Escape from the school within an hour! The school is under siege by a large number of zombies, escape from the school safely and reach the safe area to complete the task.

Tips: Every probationary student will receive an entrance gift package and a free novice weapon at random.

As an admissions test, there is no failure penalty for this scenario.

Xiao Lin was squeezed into the corner of the classroom, looked around, the classroom looked very dilapidated, the gray walls were smeared with black blood stains, the tables and chairs were lying on the ground, through the broken glass windows, the outside It's blue sky, white clouds, gentle breeze, everything looks so real, people can't help but be shocked by the technology possessed by Dawn Academy.

The playground outside is full of what the smart computer calls zombies. The muscles of these zombies have been completely rotted, and they can't see the human form at all, wandering around aimlessly.

The novice weapon mentioned by the smart computer appeared in everyone's hands in a burst of light. What appeared in Xiao Lin's hand was a wooden gray wand. At the same time, he also got the information of the wand in his mind.

Automatically acquire skill base Wand Mastery LV1: 0/100

Basic wand mastery?

Xiao Lin seemed to understand something. He waved his staff and pointed it at the sky outside the window. He felt an inexplicable force suddenly disappear from his body. , launched from the top, flew less than fifty meters before exploding in mid-air like fireworks.

Base Wand Mastery: 2/100

This kind of magic that can only be seen in movies made many people exclaim in surprise, staring at the magic wand in Xiao Lin's hand with radiant eyes, unwilling to move it away for a long time.

Although the novice weapons are randomly assigned, such as swords, bows, swords, daggers, wands, etc., there are all kinds of people, but only a very small number of people get the wands at random.

Compared with the swords that can be seen in daily life, the magic wand is obviously more attractive to everyone.

Some people with flexible minds started to exchange weapons with other people. There were always people who didn’t like the randomly assigned weapons. They disliked that the dagger was too short, the machete was too in the way, bows and arrows couldn’t be used, etc. They left one after another after changing to suitable weapons. classroom.

The classroom suddenly became empty, and some other people stayed to try the weapons in their hands. Although swords and swords are common, if you say they have really used them, few of them will.

"The skill I get automatically is Basic Shortbow Mastery."

"I'm a basic short sword master."

"It seems that whatever weapon is randomly assigned, what skill will be automatically obtained."

"Hey, did you find out? Every time you use a weapon to slash, this basic mastery skill will increase the experience value!"

"Really! I just waved it, and I added a little experience."

Soon everyone discovered this technique, but it does not necessarily increase every time you use a weapon. For example, if a person with a dagger just swings it casually, the experience value will not change. The experience value will only increase when you make the next sword strike.

Xiao Lin leaned against the wall in the corner, his head was a little dizzy, but it didn't prevent him from quietly listening to other people's discussions, and he was slightly confused, because the experience value of other people's basic skills was only 1 point each time. Whether it is long-range or close combat, there are no exceptions.

But alone, after using an energy ball just now, the basic magic wand mastery has increased by 2 experience points.

Xiao Lin's eyes lit up. He finally understood how to use his SS Xueba talent. In the passive state, the learning efficiency of various abilities is increased by 100%, which means that his skill upgrade speed is twice as fast as that of others!

"Energy bomb!"

Xiao Lin released a white ball of energy out of the window again, and his mastery of the basic magic wand was also raised to 4/100. His guess was correct, and he was worthy of an SS-level talent. Although it was not very powerful, from a long-term perspective, this It can be called a magic skill.

But along with the joy came a heavier dizziness. Xiao Lin's eyes went dark, and he staggered. He quickly supported the wall so that he didn't fall. After a while, he recovered. But there was a slight sense of fatigue, as if he was using his brain too much.

"Could it be, no way... Sure enough, there can be no bugs, how can skill experience be improved so easily." Xiao Lin looked at the magic wand in his hand, quickly guessed the reason, and couldn't help but wryly smiled.

There are not many people left in the classroom. Just like Xiao Lin guessed, if they can quickly increase their experience points by simply chopping a few knives and stabbing a few swords casually, they can definitely train their skill level to a relatively high level here. point, and then go out to complete the task.

In fact, with the strength and physique of the vast majority of people, when swinging the sword with all their strength, at most twenty or thirty strokes, they will feel that their arms are sore and swollen, and their strength cannot be used. There seems to be a criterion for judging the increase in experience points. When your strength is not enough to meet the standard, no matter how you swing the sword, the experience value will not increase any more.

The time limit for the task is only 1 hour. I am afraid it is to prevent them from having enough time to slowly brush up the skill experience points. In order to avoid wasting too much energy, more people choose to leave the classroom first.

Xiao Lin rested for a while, and after barely recovering, he was about to observe the situation at the door first, and then he noticed that the girl named Gu Xiaoyue was also following behind.

Gu Xiaoyue is wearing a beige coat, a long white skirt, shoulder-length hair, and a pair of black-rimmed glasses. In terms of appearance, this girl is actually not very outstanding, but she has a strange temperament that is a little bit cold in her gentleness. But people can't help but want to look at her.

Xiao Lin didn't know Gu Xiaoyue, but his masculine instinct made him subconsciously want to have some contact with this very temperamental girl, so he stood still first, and turned around to say hello: "You are Gu Xiaoyue, what's the matter?"

Gu Xiaoyue pushed the black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of her nose very gracefully, her voice was still as crisp as that of an oriole, straight to the point, and she said concisely: "Will you change your weapon?"

"Change weapons?" Xiao Lin was a little dazed.

Gu Xiaoyue swung the dagger in her hand with some difficulty. After all, she was a girl, and her strength didn't seem to be great, so she said seriously: "I'm not used to this."

"Why did you ask me to change?" Xiao Lin was still a little confused: "I mean, there were so many people in the classroom just now, I don't think most of them would refuse the request of a beautiful woman."

Gu Xiaoyue wrinkled her delicate nose bridge: "I only want a wand, other weapons are not suitable for me."

Xiao Lin nodded: "There are indeed relatively few people assigned wands."

"To be precise, only 15 people were assigned wands." Gu Xiaoyue gave the exact number, thought for a while, and added: "I have observed that among the people assigned wands, only you are not suitable for using this weapon." , so exchange it."

Xiao Lin was slightly surprised: "Did you find out too?"

Gu Xiaoyue pushed down the glasses frame again: "This is not difficult to analyze. Although I don't play games, I also know that spells must consume some kind of things, whether it is mental power or mana value. It should be during the physical examination with us. related to the intelligence value."

Xiao Lin's intelligence value is only 2 points, so after using energy bombs twice just now, his brain will feel abnormally tired. He actually thought of this possibility, but he didn't expect this girl's observation ability to be so keen.

Xiao Lin readily agreed. For him, the dagger is undoubtedly better than the wand.

Novice Dagger

Physical attack evaluation F-

Automatic mastery of skills Basic Swordsmanship LV1: 0/100

As expected, this kind of physical weapon does not have consumption problems, and its attack power is also lower. The magical attack power of the wand is rated as F, while the short sword's attack power is only F-.

Gu Xiaoyue got the magic wand she was satisfied with, and had no intention of continuing the communication, so she turned and left.

Xiao Lin felt a little regretful and shook his head. When he came to the door of the teaching building, some courageous people had already rushed towards the playground outside the door with weapons in their hands. The playground was about the size of one and a half football fields. A light yellow halo is shrouded, this is the safe area mentioned in the mission, as long as you rush into this yellow halo, you will complete the mission.

The zombies on the playground wandered aimlessly and showed no signs of actively entering the teaching building, which was expected, otherwise these novice rookies would have almost no chance of completing the task. But when someone rushed out, the zombie instantly got the target and began to move towards these people at a faster speed.

The mobility of the zombies is very poor, and they can move at an instant speed, which is equivalent to the level of brisk walking of adults. However, the total number of zombies is at least three or four hundred. The first batch of people who rushed out were quickly blocked by zombies. The head of the person running in the front was directly twisted off by a zombie, and then his body was turned into bits and pieces and disappeared.

The entrance test made it very clear that there would be no penalty for failure even if one failed, and 10 years of life would not be deducted, let alone death, but if one was scratched by a zombie, the pain would be quite real. The screams and howls one after another on the playground were enough to make this group of men and women who had lived in peace and tranquility all year round feel terrified.

Some people saw that the zombies were attracted by the first group of people, and rushed out. However, the system obviously did not intend to give them a chance to take advantage of the loopholes. The moment they went out, the zombie group that surrounded the first group of people immediately divided into half. They turned around and gathered towards them. On the contrary, the pressure on the first group of people was greatly reduced, and they were closer to the safe area.

Looking at the miserable scene on the playground, Xiao Lin's eyelids twitched, and he swallowed hard. Before that, he was just an otaku. He admitted that he was a little scared. This task is obviously not as simple as everyone imagined.

There is no penalty for failure, and even if you die, you can be resurrected again. It looks really good, but neither Qin Chuan nor the smart computer has told them the tragic scene in front of them.

The attack power of zombies is not high, unless unfortunately they are directly grabbed by the neck and twisted instantly. In most cases, the damage to everyone from zombies is not fatal, and more often they are just torn off from your body. A piece of meat, then crunched in his mouth.

The most direct visual impact caused some timid people to paralyze on the ground, unable to even stand up.

It would be even worse for people whose legs were scratched. After losing their mobility, they would not expect anyone to rescue them, and would soon be surrounded by zombies. Even if they knew they would not die, the kind of people who were The feeling of tearing the flesh off piece by piece is probably something they will never forget for the rest of their lives. Their bodies will turn into bits and pieces and disappear into this world until they die completely.

The entire playground became more and more chaotic, and the unexpected tragic scene completely exceeded everyone's psychological expectations. Although they held weapons, they faced the ferocious carrion, the pungent stench, the strong bloody smell, and the screams for help everywhere. Some people lost the desire to fight, and just buried their heads and ran all the way, trying to reach a safe area before the zombies surrounded them.

Xiao Lin took a deep breath and tried his best to move his eyes away from the tragic scene on the playground. The observation just now had given him enough information, and if he continued to watch, it would only make him lose the courage to rush out later.

The task time limit is one hour, Xiao Lin silently calculated, he still has enough time for training, he has the talent bonus of Xueba, even if he can improve the basic short sword mastery to LV2, it would be good.

Xiao Lin understands that he is congenitally deficient, and his total attribute value does not exceed 10. Whether it is strength, intelligence or physique, he is probably the lowest among these people. If he wants to increase the success rate of missions, training skills is the best choice.

He turned and left the gate, ready to find an empty classroom to practice the basic dagger mastering skills. Soon the corner of his eyes lit up, and an unexpected beautiful figure appeared in his sight. Xiao Lin pushed the door open and walked into the classroom.

Gu Xiaoyue turned her head and glanced at him without saying a word, then continued to stare at the playground outside the window, suddenly she would wave her magic wand and shoot a white energy ball, but nothing hit, and it was impossible to hit, Xiao Lin was the first time It was roughly estimated when it was used that the range of the energy bomb was about 50 meters.

The nearest zombie is also a hundred meters away from the teaching building. Presumably, it is impossible for the smart computer to leave such a big loophole, let them stay in the teaching building in the safe area, and directly attack the zombies outside like a fort.

Different from physical weapons, if you want to practice basic magic wand mastering here, it doesn't show much here. Mana or mental power is very precious to those whose initial attributes are not high. It means that the next task will be difficult to complete.

However, Xiao Lin didn't think that this calm girl would make a wrong judgment. Seeing that the other party had no intention of speaking, he didn't bother to respond, so he simply stayed and started his own practice.

His initial strength was only 2 points. Fortunately, the short sword he bought from Gu Xiaoyue was relatively light in weight. If it was a large weapon like a long sword, Xiao Lin might not be able to use it well.

Xiao Lin swung the dagger lightly first, but the experience value of the basic dagger did not change at all.

Then, he tried to use all his strength, but the short sword only dragged slightly in front of him, and the experience points still remained motionless.

Finally, with all his strength, Xiao Lin held the dagger with both hands, raised it high, let the whole sword pass over the top of his head, and then made a slashing movement forward. A small piece of gravel splashed, and the sharpness was unexpected.

Basic Short Sword Mastery LV1: 2/100

"Sure enough, there is no loophole at all." Xiao Lin smacked his lips with some regret, and tried cleaving and diagonal slashing postures, both of which increased experience points, indicating that the posture of swinging the sword is not fixed, but it must be Meet the standard, and there must be no slack in strength, otherwise it will be regarded as a failure and cannot improve experience.

Xiao Lin tried his best to make his movements look very standardized, but after all, he has never learned any formal swordsmanship, and these movements are just imitated by him from various movies and TV shows. In place without increasing experience, but wasting physical strength for nothing.

Especially after a few minutes, Xiao Lin began to feel some soreness in his arms. His slag-like physique finally manifested, and he often couldn't use a lot of strength. The effect was greatly reduced, and the number of failures continued to increase.

In about a quarter of an hour, his basic dagger mastery LV1 reached 90/100.

This statistic does not satisfy Xiao Lin. He has only been judged successful 45 times in total. Now he finally regrets that his life was too nerdy, so he neglected physical exercise, and his physique is only 3 points. I am afraid that even many girls Nothing compares.

Xiao Lin was already sweating profusely, and the degree of completion of the movements was getting lower and lower, so he had to pause and start resting.

"It doesn't make sense for you to do this." Gu Xiaoyue finally looked away from the window, pushed the black-rimmed glasses, and analyzed seriously: "I tried it before you came, based on my experience of firing energy bombs and recovering from natural rest. Calculated based on the ratio, it takes about an hour to upgrade to LV2, and I think other people basically have the same efficiency, which is why the task time is exactly one hour, and the academy will not give us any opportunities to take shortcuts!"

Xiao Lin exhaled, slightly surprised by the girl's calculation ability. Yes, according to his efficiency just now, it takes about 20 to 30 minutes to upgrade to LV2. If there is no Xueba talent that improves the efficiency by 100%, then the time will be doubled , exactly an hour or so.

It is naturally impossible to tell this girl that he has the talent of being a top student. Xiao Lin didn't want to get entangled in this topic, so he directly changed his mind and asked, "Have you got any results from your observations on the abilities of those zombies?"

Gu Xiaoyue tilted her head, showing a little surprise: "Do you know what I'm doing?"

Xiao Lin was amused. When he entered the classroom, he saw that Gu Xiaoyue was not practicing skills, but was leaning against the window to observe the outside, so he guessed what the girl was doing.

"Everyone who plays games knows that before entering the dungeon, read the guide first. There is no guide in this world, so we can only find the guide information by ourselves."

"Games? I'm sorry, I never play such childish things as games." The girl looked serious.

Xiao Lin coughed dryly, and changed the subject again: "The attack power of zombies is not strong. According to the evaluation criteria here, I think it is about the level of F-. As long as ordinary people don't get hit in the vitals or legs, they can get four or five. Getting down is not a problem, just now there was a very burly man who was hit at least ten times before he fell to the ground."

After a pause, seeing that the girl listened very seriously, Xiao Lin continued to analyze: "In terms of defense, the zombie's defense is also very low, probably at the level of F-. I saw with my own eyes that a dagger with only F- attack power pierced The body of the zombie, in fact, judging from these two points, this task is not difficult, but everyone is really frightened."

Speaking later, Xiao Lin sighed with a wry smile. He was also one of the people who were frightened. After calming down and thinking about it, he would find that these zombies are not invincible except for the scary points. Relying on the novice weapons randomly assigned in their hands, they are completely You can deal with zombies, but if you lose the courage to fight, there is no chance of winning at all. ) Book friends, pay attention!
