Chapter 42
The so-called single-player dungeon trial does not mean that the examinee has to go through the dungeon alone. Instead, the secret dungeon will provide each examinee with 4 NPCs that match the examinee's level and attributes, with occupations of output, meat shield, nurse, and auxiliary.
At the same time, the examinee can choose the difficulty of the dungeon and how many teammates to bring to the dungeon.
The dungeon difficulty is divided into three types: normal, difficult, and nightmare, with the score coefficients of 1x, 2x, and 5x respectively.
For every NPC teammate less, the score coefficient will increase by 1x. For example, if you choose the nightmare difficulty and bring 3 NPC teammates to the dungeon, the score coefficient will be 6x. If the examinee chooses the normal difficulty plus 4 teammates, he will get 1 point for killing a monster.
And if he chooses the nightmare difficulty plus 3 teammates, killing a monster will get 6 points.
This advanced test not only examines the examinee's combat ability, but also examines the examinee's strategic ability.
If some examinees rashly choose the nightmare difficulty and bring fewer teammates, the score coefficient is high, but the dungeon is difficult to advance, and perhaps the final score is far less than that of the examinee who chooses the normal difficulty and brings all teammates.
There is a special rule for the advanced exam. If the candidate chooses the nightmare difficulty and does not bring any teammates, the score coefficient will be increased by 1 times, reaching the highest 10 times score coefficient.
Of course, in previous college entrance examinations, basically no madman would do this, because it would be courting death.
There was once a candidate who was drawn to a legendary profession. Because of his arrogance, he chose not to bring any teammates and played the nightmare difficulty dungeon alone, but he died in the dungeon.
"Jiang Yun from Donghai No.1 Middle School has entered the dungeon. He has chosen the nightmare difficulty and brought only one nurse with him, with an 8x points coefficient. He is really aiming for the provincial champion."
"Miao Shulan from Xihu City Caihe County No. 2 Middle School also chose the nightmare difficulty plus an output. I have seen her strength and she is a strong contender for the provincial champion this year."
"Li Xueer chooses nightmare difficulty, plus one damage dealer, one meat shield, 7 times the score coefficient, should be able to enter the top ten in the province"
"I think this year's provincial champion is among Jiang Yun, Miao Shulan and Zhang Yuan. Oh, what did Zhang Yuan choose?"
The examiners in the Light Tower were paying attention to this year's key candidates and discussing the difficulty of the dungeons they chose.
"What do you think Zhang Yuan will choose?"
"With his output ability, it is easy to kill through the nightmare difficulty dungeon. He should choose the nightmare difficulty and bring a meat shield."
"I think so too. His output is high enough, but correspondingly, his body must be very fragile and he needs a front-line protection."
"With nightmare difficulty and a teammate, and 8 times the points coefficient, he is most likely to become the provincial champion. Unfortunately, his skills should all be single physical attacks, and his monster clearing speed is not as fast as that of magic professions, so his clearance time will be at a disadvantage. Otherwise, he would have a chance to become the national champion."
"Look, Zhang Yuan has started to choose the difficulty!"
In the dungeon, after reading the rules of the advanced exam, Zhang Yuan chose the nightmare difficulty without hesitation, and did not bring teammates.
To him, teammates are a burden.
"Without teammates? Is he crazy?"
The examiners exclaimed when they saw Zhang Yuan enter the nightmare-level secret dungeon alone.
"Professor Chen, do you want to intervene and let him bring at least one teammate in?"
An examiner suggested to Chen Yun. After all, the output ability that Zhang Yuan showed in the basic test has far exceeded that of the legendary output profession. As long as Zhang Yuan grows up, he will definitely be the top combat force of the Great Xia Empire.
If Zhang Yuan has an accident in the college entrance examination copy, no one can bear the responsibility!
Chen Yun frowned, thought for a moment, and then said:"Don't interfere with Zhang Yuan's choice. If he encounters danger in the copy, kick him out of the copy forcibly and let him take the adult college entrance examination next year."
An examiner raised an objection,"In this case, wouldn't Zhang Yuan waste a year?"
Chen Yun said seriously:"With his talent, even if he postpones entering college for a year, he can grow up quickly. Using a year to teach him to do things within his ability and cherish his life will do far more good than harm to his future growth."
"Since Professor Chen has said so, let's do it this way. Everyone keep a close eye on him and don't let this genius die young."
Zhang Yuan didn't know that he had become the focus of the examiners. After he entered the dungeon, he found that this dungeon was similar to the previous military secret dungeon, both of which were dungeon types.
He walked into the dungeon and saw a half-orc in armor standing in the corridor holding a long sword.
Eye of the Abyss
【Orc Warrior (Elite)】
【Level: 15】
【Strength: 1000】
【Agility: 300】
【Spirit: 100】
【Physical fitness: 2000】
【Skill: Warcry】
"No wonder the principal said that the hard requirement for admission to Kyoto University is level 19. Only candidates at level 19 can pass the nightmare dungeon at level 15."
Zhang Yuan immediately understood what Ning Qin said, but he was also a little disappointed with the difficulty of this dungeon.
It was too unchallenging.
But he soon figured it out. After all, this is the college entrance examination, and the purpose is to select talents. If the difficulty is too high, not only will the meaning of the exam be lost, but it will also put many candidates in danger, which is not worth the loss.
"What's that kid's expression? Why does he look so disappointed?"
"He seems very dissatisfied with our copy. Is it too difficult?"
"He was still too aggressive. His profession was more of a turret-type long-range output. Without front-line protection, he probably couldn't withstand a blow from the orcs, and he wouldn't be able to pass the level."
The examiners saw Zhang Yuan's disappointed expression and began to discuss.
"It's boring, let's make it quick and decisive."
Zhang Yuan deployed a sword formation, covering a huge area of 500 meters, directly covering the entire secret dungeon.
Then, Chi Xiao pierced through the head of the orc in front!
The next moment, all the monsters in the dungeon, including the level 15 boss, died!
【Successfully cleared the dungeon in 36 seconds and calculated the points】
【Kill points +5000】
【Clearance Points +5000】
【Time Points +5000】
【Refresh the dungeon clearance time record, points +10000】
【Total points: 25,000, tentative ranking: 1]
Zhang Yuan looked at his college entrance examination score panel and yawned.
This dungeon is small and weak, it is too boring.
In the light tower, all the examiners fell into a deathly silence, and then a shocking noise broke out.
"What just happened...?"
"Where are the monsters? Where are the bosses? Where are the dungeons?"
"What kind of skills did this guy have? He could clear the entire instance?"
"Was he cheating? Was he carrying some kind of large-scale destruction device?"
"Do you think the system is just for show? Why didn't it call the police when you used the props?"
"I'm so mad, can this guy be any more outrageous? Other candidates haven't even killed the first monster in the normal dungeon, but this guy has already cleared the nightmare dungeon! It seems that his disappointment just now is because he thinks our dungeon is too difficult!"
"36 seconds to clear a level? Who would believe this? The fastest record for clearing a level in history is also 1 hour and 2 minutes, right?"
"Excluding the time that boy was in a daze, was there even a single second left for him to actually complete the dungeon?"
"What is his profession? It's too unbalanced!!!"
The experienced examiners were rioting. They wanted to rush into the dungeon to hold Zhang Yuan down and force him to show all his attributes and skills to see what was going on!
At the same time, the huge light curtain outside the light tower also refreshed the results of the first candidate.
