Chapter 16 Hunter Exam
Question [-]: Before going on a hunting trip, the correct preparation process is ().

α. Treat guests to dinner and say final goodbyes to friends and relatives.

β. Confess your love to your sweetheart and make it clear to your enemies.

γ. Accept the appropriate contract in the guild, receive the latest version of the map, master monster information, purchase materials, detect equipment and props, and assemble personnel to set off.

Ω. Lie down at your residence to conserve your energy.

Isn't this a grading question?

Li Ming quickly finished writing the answer and looked at the next question.

The second question, when encountering a monster you have never seen before in the wild, the correct approach is ().

α. Approach boldly and try to hunt.

β. Gather teammates to besiege and defeat monsters.

γ. Pretend not to see it and run away quickly.

Ω. Try to collect trace samples, record the individual characteristics of monsters in detail, submit the sighting report to the nearest guild branch, and earn rewards.

This is not difficult either.
Question [-]: The correct way to get along with teammates in the hunter team is ().

α. Complete the hunt with mutual support and assistance.

β. If my teammates can’t do it, I’m enough.

γ. Encourage teammates to participate in poaching and quickly get on the road to fortune.

Ω. Inspire each other’s interests and hobbies, fish and catch insects together, dig for treasures, and forget about hunting.

This question is a bit confusing, and I almost fell into it.

Li Ming answered fifteen questions in one breath without encountering any obstacles.

Question No. 16: Are you willing to sacrifice for the continuation of mankind?

α. Willing.

β. Unwilling.

γ. Don’t know.

This question is a bit heavy
After hesitating for a moment, Li Ming filled in the γ option, which meant he didn't know.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, Shirin took away the questions for the basic knowledge test.

"Everyone will rest for 10 minutes. The subsequent physical fitness test and weapon mastery test will be conducted at the training ground in the guild's backyard."

Li Ming retrieved the Skeleton Shield and Axe, leaned against the outer wall of the guild and waited.

Not long after, Wood leaned to the side and asked in a low voice: "You answered the questions so quickly, you can't make mistakes."

"Don't worry, Senior Wood, problem solving is my strength."

Li Ming said with great confidence.

"What about the physical fitness test?"

"This just requires more skill."

Li Ming looked embarrassed.

"Okay, I will cheer for you silently."

After Wood finished speaking, he stuffed a strange power seed into Li Ming's hand, then turned around and left.

The retail price of this thing is 220z per piece. Eat it when the physical fitness test starts. Maybe it will last until the end of the entire assessment.

Li Ming lifted up his sleeves, wiped the skin clean, and put it in his trouser pocket.

"Chuying, here I come, meow!"

A playful voice came to mind, and Li Ming looked in search of the sound.

It was a pure white Ellu cat calling for a hunter partner.

"Bubu, everyone is preparing for the exam, please keep your voice down."

The white-haired girl carrying a heavy crossbow made a silent gesture, and Bubu, who was running quickly, immediately covered his mouth with his cat's paw.

From this point of view, the first stage of Hunting Cat's exam should be over.

Li Ming looked around and quickly spotted Mido Duo running towards him.

"Is it all right?"

"I don't know, Meow, but there are two unexpected situations."

"What is it?"

"Daju is a hunting cat examiner, very strict."

"If Wood is a five-star hunter, it's not surprising that Daju, as his old partner, can be a hunting cat examiner. What about the other one?"

"I found a great rival, meow."

Midoduo said very seriously.

"My strong rival. There is no limit to the number of hunters in the assessment, and only the top ones will be selected. Where can I find my strong rival?"

Li Ming didn't know why.

"Um, didn't you say that you want to strive for first place, meow? I met an Elu cat during the assessment and said that his partner should also strive for first place."

Midodo informed.

"Striving for first place is just a slogan to motivate myself. If I can actually pass the assessment, I will be very satisfied."

Li Ming explained.

"So that's it, meow, it's over."

Midodo's ears drooped, looking depressed.

"You shouldn't be publicizing it in the Maomao Academy, right?"

Li Ming asked tentatively.

"It's not like meow, it's just that after the other party said he wanted to strive for first place, I went to discuss it."

"What's the name of that Elle cat?"

"Call Bubu Meow."

"Bubu, why does it sound familiar? By the way."

Li Ming said, turning to look at the white-haired girl.

Unexpectedly, Bubu noticed that Bubu's cat paw was waving towards Midodo, as if saying hello.

"That pure white Ellu is Bubu Meow."

Midoduo said with certainty.

Soon, the white-haired girl came to the front holding Bubu Cat's paw.

"Are you Midoduo's partner, meow?"

Bubu asked curiously.

"Bubu, be polite and sorry. Bubu always says some irrelevant things and disturbs you."

The white-haired girl finished blaming and apologized to Li Ming.

"It's okay, I just like the lively El Cat."

Li Ming said, pinching Bubu's round cat face.

"Ugh~ I'm so annoying, meow."

Bubu turned his head to resist.

"I'm motivating myself to compete for first place, so please don't take it to heart."

The white-haired girl said helplessly.

"Me too, let's do our best."

"Okay, my name is Chuying, nice to meet you."

"My name is Li Ming."

The two shake hands.

"Then I won't bother you."

"See you later, Mi Duoduo, remember that Chuying will definitely win the first place, meow!"

Looking back at Bubu who was shouting, he was picked up by Chuying and dragged away.

"Miss Chuying is so polite, meow."

"Yes, your hands are quite strong."

Li Ming rubbed his palms, chatted with Mido for a while, and then went to the training ground in the guild's backyard, ready to start the physical fitness test.

The test content consists of three items, pressure resistance, and the distance of flying and rolling with weapons.

Among them, the stress resistance test, which is recognized as the most difficult to pass, does not refer to mental and willpower resistance to stress.

It is the ability of the real body to withstand heavy pressure.

The round boulder, which was tied with multiple ropes, was slowly raised by the crane to a height of about one person.

Three sturdy instructors stood in a triangle to supervise the assessment results. They would also lend a helping hand to the candidates when they were exhausted to prevent accidents.

Soon, the five people who initially tried failed to lift the boulder and continued to hold on for 15 seconds with standard movements.

Li Ming took a bite of the strange power seed and chewed it hard in his mouth.

At the same time, he gently rubbed his chest with his palms, and the green mist ball [Milt Armor] immediately slipped out.Glancing at the fog balls floating around, he grabbed the [Solid Lower Wall] and stuffed it into his chest.

"Next, Li Ming!"

"Hmm~ Here we come."

After swallowing the seed of strange power, Li Ming ran under the newly raised boulder.

"Boy, with your physique, don't push yourself too hard."

The instructor, whose muscles bulged all over his body, gave a reminder.

"Okay, if we really can't hold on any longer, please three of us take action in time."

After Li Ming finished speaking, he raised his hands in the air, then took a big breath and adjusted his breathing.

"Ready! Fall!"

The instructor gave an order, and the round boulder immediately lowered.

The terrifying weight instantly penetrated the whole body.

"Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Drink!"

Li Ming, who was trying his best to support himself, actually shouted out. At the same time, the boulder also rose slightly, which surprised the three instructors.

"The lower body is very stable, but the upper body is shaking all the time. Does this meet the standards?"

"Perhaps it's caused by different daily practice tendencies. I don't see the problem."

"I don't see a problem either."

After a brief negotiation between the three instructors, the test continued as usual.

"rise!"

The moment the instructor shouted and remembered, Li Ming, who had lost all sense of time, felt his shoulders relax, and then he collapsed to the ground.

"Li Ming! Stress resistance test, passed!"

As the instructor shouted and announced, the residents and craftsmen who were watching, as well as those waiting for reference, immediately gave warm applause.

After being helped up, Li Ming waved to everyone, then walked slowly to the side of the training ground, holding on to the railings and began to rest.

From then on until the end of the test, only one female giant and Chuying successfully passed the stress resistance test.

The run-up, flop and roll distance tests are all conducted after carrying weapons.

Different weapons used require different distance standards.

In general, the lighter the weapon, the greater the range required.

To be on the safe side, Li Ming replaced the fog ball with [Sand Slide] while equipping the shield axe.

"Li Ming, weapon Skeleton Shield and Axe, holding posture, start!"

After the instructor shouted, Li Ming, who was standing behind the take-off mark, exerted force on his legs and jumped forward. At the same time, he tightened his right fist holding the energy-charging sword and reached toward the ground for support.

The left arm with the shield fixed on it should be raised as high as possible to prevent collision with the ground and slow down of the body.

After completing the roll, he stood up again and immediately performed the roll test with the weapon on his back.

Since both hands can be used as support at this time, the rolling distance is a little further than before.

"Well, the results are not bad. Next is the flying distance test."

The instructor, who was taking notes with a quill, said with relief.

"Instructor, will the gliding distance of the flying landing be counted as a score?"

Li Ming asked.

"Flying is different from rolling. It is the ultimate evasive action for hunters to avoid attacks with all their strength. Of course, the farther the better. Not to mention that the sliding distance will be counted as a score. If you can fly twice with your legs at once, you will still be beaten. Credited to grade.”

"Really? There is no limit on the sliding distance?"

Li Ming asked tentatively.

"As an instructor, I can still lie to you, but I have to remind you that this is sandy ground, not smooth at all. You should use your strength on gliding instead of sprinting."

The instructor reminded.

"Well, this sandy area is a bit small."

"what?"

"Thank you. I'm going to prepare for the run-up."

Li Ming said, ran behind the take-off mark, and started to gain momentum.

"What a strange newcomer, Li Ming, with weapons such as bones, shields, and axes, and a running jump, let's start!"

Li Ming swings his arms and runs forward.

Call ~
When the jumping height reaches its peak, stretch your body and stretch your hands forward.

Puff~wow~wow~
The instructor glanced at the landing point and was about to record the results when his pen suddenly stopped.

wow~ wow~
Even though Li Ming's whole body fell into the sand, he did not slow down and twisted his body to continue sliding forward.

wow~ wow~
As he slid to the edge of the training ground fence, he turned a corner, twisted and slid back.

"Chu Ying, iron assault crossbow, running and flying"

During the assessment on the other side, the instructor was stunned when he saw Li Ming swimming in the sand.

Chuying, who was about to start a sprint, saw her eyelids twitching.

Half a minute later, Li Ming finally couldn't stop and stood up from the sand.

After patting the dust off his face, he unexpectedly realized that the eyes of the entire training ground were focused on him.

The instructor's quill clicked on the scroll countless times, and he didn't know how to record Li Ming's flying results correctly.

"Congratulations, you broke the flying distance record in previous hunter exams."

Ten minutes later, Wood came to the side of the training ground to congratulate him.

"This recording skill component is relatively large, it's nothing. Next is the weapon proficiency test that can take shortcuts. Senior Wood, it's time to show the advantages of the shield axe."

Li Ming looked forward with anticipation.

"Well, that's it."

Wood, who looked embarrassed, stroked his forehead.

"Senior Wood, you don't seem happy."

Li Ming asked curiously.

"It's like this. If I go hunting, there will indeed be no instructors who are proficient in shield axes in the sandstone cave stronghold. If I were here, there would be."

Wood explained.

"Then it's still too late for you to uncover the contract now?"

Li Ming asked tentatively.

"I'm afraid it's too late."

Li Ming's shoulders dropped weakly.

The promised staffing was pitifully small, there were no instructors who could skillfully use shield axes, and the loose evaluation system all came to nothing.

"Okay, I will use all my strength to participate in the final test."

Li Ming looked determined.

"Thank you for understanding."

"I understand that if you don't meet the requirements, even if you pass the exam to become a hunter, you will still die in the wild."

After completing most of the examination process, Li Ming discovered that no matter who it was, he actually hoped that more hunters would emerge.

The heavy pressure, rolling, and flying in the physical fitness test items all seem to be monotonous actions that can be easily completed.

But for hunters, it corresponds to power confrontation, sudden dodge, and emergency evasion, three important indicators that are crucial to life.

As for the use of weapons, needless to say, if you can't even master hunting weapons, you won't have a chance to fight against monsters.

After resting for about 20 minutes, the weapon proficiency test officially began.

呲Ga~Ka~
Chuying took off the folding iron assault crossbow from her back, unfolded it and completed the assembly and docking of the gun body. She grasped it with both hands and lifted it parallel to her side.

click ~ click ~
Pull the bolt, unload the chamber and replace the ammunition.

The calm and calm movement process made the three instructors nod their heads.

Bang!Bang!
The projectile wrapped in a nut shell flew out after firing.

Two moving wooden targets in the distance were hit.

Bang!
Chu Ying spent a little time aiming at the third target so that she could still hit it accurately.

Next, there was continuous shooting from the prone position.

Bang!Bang!Bang!
The sound of more and more intense firing sounded.

"Amazing."

Li Ming sighed in admiration.

He may not know much about the use of heavy crossbows in the monster hunting world.

But he does have a high appreciation for the standard actions of hunters when using various weapons.

Chuying's movements are smooth and natural, and have a high degree of overlap with those in the game.
