Chapter 3 The Third Day

On the third day, inside the Zhongcheng County Southern Suburbs Stadium, 7:00 AM.

Teams of people were undergoing entrance inspections. The competition was officially starting at 9:00 AM, and the stadium was as noisy as a vegetable market.

Looking at the students' youthful, excited, and nervous faces, Jiang Xiao's heart was as steady as an old dog, not panicking at all.

Well,

Okay,

Maybe a little nervous.

"Little classmate, if I remember correctly, your registered identity is that of a medical-type Awakened?" A middle-aged uncle with a giant steel blade in his hand was carefully examining it, casually chatting with Jiang Xiao in front of him.

Jiang Xiao was fiddling with a headband. Although it looked like the kind worn by basketball players, it actually contained a pinhole camera and audio equipment. Wearing it would allow everyone to see Jiang Xiao's first-person perspective.

Jiang Xiao turned to look at the middle-aged uncle and sighed, "Ah... I'm also very helpless. I accidentally obtained medical Star Techniques. In reality, a wild close-combat fighter lives in my heart."

Middle-aged uncle: "......"

Looking at the middle-aged uncle's silent appearance,

Jiang Xiao seemed to realize that this uncle... was heartbroken?

"There aren't many who use ancient Chinese weapons. This is a good blade, don't bury it." The middle-aged uncle finally finished the inspection and returned the giant blade to Jiang Xiao.

Jiang Xiao carried the giant steel blade on his back: "Thank you for the compliment. Do you also like ancient Chinese two-handed swords?"

The uncle smiled slightly. His work badge hung on his trembling big belly, rising and falling: "When I was young, I held a two-handed sword in my left hand and a two-handed sword in my right hand. In the armory, I picnicked with the savages and walked the dogs with the ape ghosts..."

Jiang Xiao: "......"

Damn, you can brag even better than me?

"Ah, it's no good, time waits for no one," the middle-aged uncle sighed.

Jiang Xiao thought he could tease a bronze, but he accidentally teased out a king.

Too damn good at bragging,

Two-handed sword in the left hand? Two-handed sword in the right hand?

There's a reason they're called "two-handed" weapons, okay?

"Your team has a lot of weapons. Since you're idle anyway, I'll inspect them all for you," the middle-aged uncle turned around and picked up Xia Yan's giant blade, raising his eyebrows slightly, "This blade is not light."

Jiang Xiao said, "Ah, I don't want to have medical potential either. It's really too helpless. A wild close-combat fighter lives in my heart, yes, you guessed it, I'm a dual-wielder."

The middle-aged uncle grinned, "It seems we're following the same school."

Jiang Xiao cupped his fist in salute, "My respects, my respects."

The middle-aged uncle laughed, "You're too kind, you're too kind."

......

"Check the packages distributed to you to see if the resources are complete. No need to check the guns. The flare guns have already undergone several rounds of strict inspection to ensure they can be used normally." In front of the stadium, a staff member explained through the microphone, his voice particularly unpleasant.

Instantly, the noisy stadium fell silent. Under the illumination of one camera after another, Jiang Xiao suddenly had the feeling of participating in a reality show.

Ah, there are really too many ways to make money in this world.

In fact, Jiang Xiao always felt that this competition system had problems. Compared to team PK, fighting with creatures from another dimension was more dangerous.

It should be a preliminary team PK to determine the top eight, and then the semi-finals enter the other dimension to determine the final ranking. In this way, the strength of the top eight teams is ensured, and the eliminated students are relatively safer.

Why not leave the work of sifting through the sand to human students?

Why entrust this task to creatures from another dimension?

Afraid that the two strongest will meet in advance? It would be a pity to eliminate them? Then you can do something in the grouping and draw lots...

I don't know how the above stipulates the competition system. Not only is the provincial league like this, but the national league is also the same model.

Jiang Xiao couldn't understand the reason. In fact, many people have called for this competition system to be reformed.

This kind of competition system is indeed a historical legacy. Five years ago, the provincial and national leagues did not have semi-finals at all.

The team that won first place in the other dimension was directly the first place.

Five years ago, the country carried out corresponding reforms to the competition system and added a semi-final round.

The emergence of the semi-finals is a safeguard to ensure that the truly capable team wins first place as much as possible.

Any model is constantly improving and progressing through exploration. Since Jiang Xiao has caught up with such a competition system, he can only accept it.

Just like he met Er Wei on the road of life...

Can't resist,

Can't change,

Then you can only accept it.

Soon, Jiang Xiao's attention was drawn to the staff in front.

This rule... is not friendly.

"Team members follow the route map we just distributed, starting from the entrance, and arrive at resource point 1, resource point 2. After obtaining the mission items, return to the entrance. The team that is the fastest and takes the least time will get 300 points."

"Second place gets 80 points, third place gets 55 points, fourth place gets 40 points. The detailed ranking scores are clearly recorded in the information distributed to you."

"The latest deadline is no more than 5 days. If you do not return to the entrance within 5 days, you will be treated as 0 points."

Jiang Xiao was slightly stunned. The difference in scores between second and third, and third and fourth, was understandable, but why was the difference between first and second so much?

A full 220 points difference?

The staff continued: "We randomly selected some individuals from the savage groups in the armory and distributed conspicuous bright yellow knives, guns, and bows. Each bright yellow weapon seized is worth 10 points."

"Of course, they are, after all, beasts with low intelligence. Maybe you will see that they disdain to use the high-quality weapons we distributed and casually discard them on the ground. As for whether you can pick them up, it depends on yourselves."

"We also randomly selected individuals from the ape ghost groups. These ape ghosts are easy to distinguish. You will see burn marks on their backs, and a bright yellow medal is hidden inside. Each medal is worth 25 points."

Jiang Xiao licked his lips. Thirty weapons or twelve medals are equivalent to the score for first place in the race. This competition seems to require some brains.

Disarming weapons should be relatively easy. You can knock them down, or defeat and drive away the savages.

If you are lucky, you may even see the bright yellow weapons that the savages don't bother to use and casually discard.

But if you want to harvest medals, according to the staff, the medal is embedded inside the ape ghost's back, I am afraid that you can only kill the ape ghost to have a chance to take out the medal.

That's why there is such a big difference in the scores.

The staff continued: "There are three special red medals in the armory, each worth 300 points. They are respectively inside the backs of three ape ghost kings. A special reminder, please do what you can, and the flare gun is your best partner."

Good heavens, this is amazing.

You can embed medals into the backs of ape ghost kings?

How strong would the person who embeds the medal into its body have to be?

Thinking of the scene of being slapped away by the ape ghost king last time, Jiang Xiao felt a little flustered in his heart...

The staff continued: "Each of you is wearing imaging equipment on your head. Please pay attention to protecting it. It is not allowed to be removed without permission, otherwise, corresponding points will be deducted according to the severity of the situation. In addition, once the equipment is damaged and your first-person perspective cannot be received, 100 points will be directly deducted."

When this sentence was said, there was an uproar below.

If you want to get more points, there will definitely be battles. If you want to protect the equipment in such high-intensity battles, it is indeed a bit beyond the standard. Some of these children can't even protect themselves, let alone the equipment.

The staff continued: "Special statement, if your imaging equipment is damaged, we also have the right to recall you. Please all those present strictly abide by the examination rules. If there is any violation, it may affect your final college entrance examination."

"Please read the examination rules in your hands carefully. The entrance examination will start in half an hour. During this period, the stadium will be closed, and no entry or exit is allowed."

The staff said and finally closed the microphone.

Jiang Xiao turned around and saw the quartet with different expressions.

Xia Shiqi looked eager to try. Because her chestnut short hair would block the camera, her headband was worn around her neck.

Jiang Xiao reached out and hooked her "collar" and said, "This thing has become the most important thing."

Han Jiangxue nodded and said, "It's to ensure the safety of the students as much as possible."

Jiang Xiao shook his head and said, "No, what I mean is that this thing is a weapon that can destroy people. The rules do not explicitly prohibit fighting between student teams."

Xia Yan was slightly stunned. Jiang Xiao's perspective on the problem opened a new world for her.
