Everyone: Improver, The Entry For Improvement At The Beginning Is Against The Sky

Just arrived in the provincial capital.

President Zheng settled down the candidates and went around to inquire about the college entrance examination news. He soon learned that the secret place for the college entrance examination this time was called "Desert Pyramid".

According to legend, the Desert Pyramid is the tomb of an undead power, the Tomb King. The entire secret realm is the Tomb King's tomb area, but later, it was accidentally acquired by the human race.

It serves as a secret place for the college entrance examination.

There were originally many undead treasures in the pyramid, but over the endless years, they have been looted, and now only the top of the pyramid remains unexplored.

The pyramid is very difficult, and there is even a risk of falling. It is one of the college entrance examination secrets with the highest mortality rate.

The candidates were all panic-stricken.

"We will take advantage of this period to forge more guided javelins, purchase a batch of level-breaking pills, and start forging golden shields."

Lin Ye was thinking in his mind.

After entering the secret realm of the college entrance examination, he was ready to use the level-breaking pill to break through to the second level. By then, the black knights would also be able to use the second-level golden shield.

[Conqueror's Great Shield Blueprint (Gold): +1200 points of physical defense, +10% of basic physical defense, and blocks any attack below 200 points of strength/spirit. 】(second level)

Recipe: [Hundred Alchemy Essence] x3 + [Snow Pattern Forged Steel] x5 + [Purple Gold Sand] = [Conqueror’s Giant Shield (Gold)]

golden equipment,

The required materials are even more rare and expensive, so that it is difficult to buy them in Jiangcheng, and only the provincial capital has a large inventory.

Hundred Alchemy Essence, 300,000/unit.

Snow pattern forged steel, 50,000/unit.

Purple gold sand, 200,000 units.

The material cost of such a golden shield is as high as 1.35 million.

Considering the huge size of the Black Knight, the shield needs to be adjusted to the size of "2.5 meters x 1.4 meters", and the material cost will double, approaching 3 million per piece.

There are more than thirty black knights in the summoning space at the moment. Just replacing them all with gold shields is a small expense.

"If that doesn't work, let's get a loan from Wanbao Pavilion first..."

Lin Ye was helpless.

He could only hope that the "Guided Javelin" could be sold at a good price during the college entrance examination, otherwise he would really run out of food.

***

The following days.

Lin Ye lives in Wanbao Pavilion in the provincial capital. In addition to forging equipment, he has also participated in several auctions one after another. The "Level Breaking Pill" used by professionals to break through the second level is only available at auctions.

The average unit price is 5 million pieces.

Lin Ye himself only needs one level-breaking pill to break through to the second level. Five million is just a drop in the bucket for him.

But he has an army of black knights, all stuck at level 20. Without the level-breaking pill, these black knights will always stay at level one, and will become useless in the future.

Of course, you can also disband these first-level black knights, and then summon new second-level black knights after breaking through the second level.

"Teresa and the Black Knights have been fighting with me for a long time."

"If they are disbanded, their souls will be turned into ashes and completely annihilated in the world.

Lin Ye thought for a while.

Naturally, he couldn't bear to disband the black knights, so he decided to spend a lot of money to buy a level-breaking pill for each black knight. This was another expense for more than two small goals.

Doing so is not without its benefits.

When the black knights are newly summoned, their skill proficiency is only level Iv1... If the old summons are disbanded every time they are upgraded, then the skill level of the summons will never be improved.

Theresa and the black knights now have many skills and proficiency levels of level 2, which is extremely difficult.

In a blink of an eye,

Half a month of preparation time is over.

In the pavilion intoxicated by the evening breeze, Lin Ye and a beautiful woman sat looking at each other. The woman was wearing a backless evening dress. Her snow-white back was even more delicate under the candlelight. Her two long black silk legs were close together at the knees. The shiny black silk covering her thighs reflected the faint candlelight.

The woman shook the red wine glass in her hand, her proud upper body leaned forward slightly, her collar opened wantonly, and her red lips raised a smile, "Lin Keqing, you now owe me Wanbao Pavilion 280 million yuan in funds, don't you still have it?" If so, just use your body to pay off the debt."|| "

Saying "pay the debt with one's body", the woman licked the corner of her mouth seductively, looking very interested.

Lin Ye spread his hands and joked, "Sister Yan'er, we are partners, are you so eager to add insult to injury?"

The woman is Yan Qingyu.

She is from the Yan family and was about to be transferred to the Tianhai headquarters, so she stopped by the provincial capital to personally supervise the sales of the "Guided Javelin".

"Sister is teasing you."

Yan Qingyu smiled softly and said, "When you get a good rank in the first subject tomorrow, our guided javelin will be launched on the market.

These days,

Lin Ye purchased a large amount of gold materials and level-breaking pills, and borrowed 280 million from the Chamber of Commerce. However, Lin Ye also had the confidence to repay the money, and now has as many as 450 "guided javelins" forged.

If the market is good, Lin Ye can pay off his debts in one move and even make a small profit.

After Yan Qingyu left.

Lin Ye came to the yard and snapped his fingers. Suddenly, the aura of death surrounded him, bone gates emerged, and the black knights walked out uniformly.

After these days of summoning, the number of black knights has reached 45.

In addition to the Silver Gladiator suit,

Each black knight also carries 4 guided weapons, [Centurion Javelin].

The team carries 10 hidden weapons, [Heart-Piercing Death].

The shields of the black knights are no longer the gladiator tower shields, but have the same size, but the craftsmanship is more gorgeous. The black shield seems to be wrapped with golden light.

The golden light that shines like stars also represents the quality of this shield, which is golden!

[Magnetic Attraction·Conqueror's Shield (Gold): +3000 physical defense, +25% of own physical defense, ignores any attack below 500 points of strength/spirit. 】(Level 2) (lv15 blacksmithing bonus)

[Magnetic attraction: This shield has the ability of magnetic attraction. When turned on, it can absorb the surrounding attack trajectories and protect the people behind the shield. 】

good,

Lin Ye has upgraded both "Blacksmithing" and "Eye of Insight" to level Iv15 these days.

The level Iv15 forging technique not only greatly increases the forging speed, but also increases the basic attributes of the equipment by 150%, making the shield forged by Lin Ye 1.5 times stronger than the blueprint!

In the drawing, "magnet" was added this time, and the improved term "magnetic attraction" was obtained.

The effect of magnetic attraction is not to attract iron.

Instead, it absorbs attack projectiles from all around, such as "arrows", "magic missiles", "hidden weapons", etc.

"The shield's defense is equivalent to the defense provided by about 3400 constitution, and it ignores attacks below 500 strength/spirit, and has a 'magnetic attraction' effect. I wonder what the actual combat effect will be if such a shield participates in the college entrance examination secret realm?"

Lin Ye nodded slightly.

The black knights are still at the first level and cannot yet equip the second-level golden shield. Lin Ye is also full of expectations for the first subject of the college entrance examination tomorrow.

the next day.

Lin Ye followed a group of candidates to a nearby test center. After verifying his identity, he was sent into a teleportation array and teleported to a secret space.

[You get——temporary secret realm token! 】

[You enter - the secret realm of the desert pyramid, welcome to witness the wonders built by the Tomb King! 】

With prompts,

Lin Ye found himself in a desert, in the scorching sun, with yellow sand filling the sky, and on the dim horizon, a huge pyramid building stood.

At this time, above the sky,

A thunderous voice rolled down, "Hanzhong Province, the first subject of the college entrance examination has officially started. I am Jiang Duanyun, the examiner of this college entrance examination. I will announce the rules of the first subject..."

"The first subject is——The Path of the Ferocious Beast."

"All candidates have 24 hours to pass through the canyon filled with ferocious beasts and go to the pyramid. If they successfully arrive, they will receive 500 points."

"Each hour in advance will earn you an additional 50 points.

"The first three arrivals will receive an additional 300 points, 200 points, and 100 points."

"Those who fail to arrive will receive 1 to 500 points as appropriate."

"The last 10% of candidates will be eliminated directly."

Rule 1 is published.

The space in front of Lin Ye's eyes began to change violently, as if he was following his words. A canyon next door appeared at his feet, and then spread all the way to the pyramid.

Countless undead monsters, skeleton ghouls, skeleton shooters, skeleton warriors, ferocious zombies, etc. appear in the canyon.

On both sides of the canyon, an arrow tower was erected from time to time, blocking passers-by.

The voice sounded again——

"All candidates are in a separate secret space, will not meet each other, and have individually customized monster types based on their respective professions."

"Props such as hidden weapons and spell scrolls cannot be used in the secret realm."

"Once you encounter fatal danger, you can activate the secret realm token and choose to leave the secret realm."

"The carp will eventually shine, and it will turn into a dragon when it jumps over the dragon gate. Come on, juniors, I am waiting for your good news.

The voice fell slowly,

It's like "the carp will eventually succeed, and it will turn into a dragon when it jumps over the dragon gate." Lin Ye couldn't help but feel excited and excited, but he was not in a hurry to enter the canyon.

Instead, let's see if we can avoid the monsters in the canyon and take a shortcut through the desert on both sides.

[Warning: You are about to leave the examination room area!]

A warning emerged.

All right,

Lin Ye was helpless. It seemed that he was overthinking the shortcuts in the college entrance examination. As the most important talent selection mechanism in the Dragon Kingdom, the college entrance examination was almost impossible to have bugs and cheating.

Otherwise, the leaders in charge of the college entrance examination may not have to use sewing machines for the rest of their lives.

He had no choice but to be honest and jump into the canyon.

"Wait a minute."

"The first subject exam only requires reaching the pyramid as soon as possible, but there is no requirement to kill the monsters in the canyon. In this case, shouldn't I just rush on my way?"

Lin Ye held his chin in his hand, looking at the densely packed skeleton soldiers, ferocious beasts and zombies in the canyon, and fell into thought.

The monsters in the canyon seem to have very weak offensive capabilities and are mainly responsible for blocking the candidates' speed.

General candidate thinking,

He must kill all the monsters in the canyon, and then pass through the canyon openly and arrive at the pyramid.

This kind of thinking is brave, but it slows down time too much. After all, the results of the first subject are calculated based on time. No matter how many monsters you kill, there will be no points.

Excellent candidate thinking,

Try to avoid battles as much as possible, kill only a few monsters that cannot be avoided, and try to maintain road speed.

"...The so-called excellent candidate thinking is not enough for me."

"I have the Black Knight..."

"The attacks of these monsters may not be able to break through the black knight's golden shield, so don't I just need to let the black knight carry the monster attack and move forward at full speed?"

Lin Ye's eyes flashed with two gleams of wisdom.

Then he raised his hand and 30 black knights appeared behind him. Since he has entered the secret realm, there is no need to worry about level restrictions. Lin Ye ordered the black knights to

Take the level-breaking pill once.

[The level-breaking pill digestion progress is 1%!]

【...Progress 2%!】

【...Progress 3%!】

Lin Ye and the black knights - sitting cross-legged on the ground, quietly digesting the level-breaking pill, but the digestion progress is a bit slow, about two percent per minute.

But there is no rush, as long as the level breaking is completed, the "golden turtle shell formation" of the black knights will be enough for Lin Ye to pass through this canyon easily.

[Your current ranking: 10,000+!]

[Your current ranking: 100,000+!]

[Your current ranking: 200,000+!]

[Your current ranking: 300,000+!]

[...]

【Your current ranking: 1 million+!】

Information keeps emerging.

Lin Ye watched helplessly, while digesting the level-breaking pill, his ranking dropped from 10,000+ to 1 million+, almost at the bottom, and he couldn't help but laugh and cry.

Many candidates take level-breaking pills as soon as they enter the secret realm.

But obviously,

(Well done) Those candidates' level-breaking elixirs were more effective and easier to absorb, so they completed the level-breaking pills early and entered the canyon.

But Lin Ye was different. His demand for level-breaking pills was too great, so he had no choice but to choose the cheapest one, which would naturally make his absorption slower.

Fortunately,

Half an hour later, Lin Ye and the 30 black knights had all broken through the ranks and entered the second level.

"After entering the second level."

"Human professionals, every time they advance to a level, they will receive (stars x 10) attribute points, and their attributes will be further enhanced."

Lin Ye thought and stood up.

First-level professional, upgrade one level, + (star x5) attribute points.

Second-level professional, upgrade one level, + (star x10) attribute points.

The gap is still quite big.

Then he looked around at the 30 giant black knights and shouted, "Black knights, equip yourself with a giant golden shield, form a golden tortoise shell array, and protect me through the canyon!"

"promise!"

The black knights knelt on one knee one after another, and then all changed into gold shields. The bright golden light complemented the metal black armor all over their bodies, giving it a heavy and beautiful feeling.

After changing their shields, the black knights formed a rectangular square formation.

AU,

Six on each side,

These 20 people were holding huge 2.5-meter gold shields, and they were tightly surrounded from the rear, left, and right directions to form a solid metal city wall!

There are 10 people standing in the middle of the square, holding a giant golden shield upward to form a "sealed metal cover" that can perfectly resist attacks from above.

So tile,

The golden tortoise shell formation takes shape!

Lin Ye stood in the formation and felt that there was a thick metal shield in front, behind, left, right and above, which gave him a sense of security. He pointed forward with his big hand, "Let's go, target pyramid."

"promise!"

Accompanied by the rumble of the earth, the golden tortoise shell formation, like a giant metal beast with no defensive corners, moved forward majestically. .
