Wizard: Become stronger by drawing cards from the potions variety show

Chapter 11 The Second Challenge: Team Competition

There is a fine line between potion books and experimental equipment. Days like this make Li Daoxian extraordinarily fulfilling.

The week flew by in a blink of an eye and it was game day.

The only difference this time is that the seventeen players on the waiting list have been filled. This is the first time that twenty players are competing on the same stage.

Each player has an extraordinary background. Some of them are former members of the research institute, some were technicians of well-known workshops, some are potion masters who also make videos, and some are current college students.

The competition is about to begin!
  The three instructors, Gordon, Maggie, and Xue Qian, stood on the podium at the front of the operation room.

The magic barrier opens and loyalty works.

Gordon said to the camera: "After a week of intense auditions, we selected the 17 best contestants among hundreds of thousands of applicants and added them to our lineup."

Xue Qian: "No one wants to miss this grand prize, but there is only one place for the grand prize. If you succeed, you can gain everything!"

Maggie smiled and said: "If there was such a program when I was young, I think I would definitely participate without hesitation. I have even thought about it. I can use gold coins to open my own potion workshop. This Definitely a great idea.”

Gordon and Xue Qian both laughed.

Gordon said bluntly: "Perhaps the players also have this idea. Now, let us invite all the players!"

The door to the operating room is open.

Li Daoxian was still walking at the front, followed closely by Catherine and George, and behind them were the newly added contestants.

Some players were observing the environment, while others were greeting the recording barrier.

Gordon clapped his hands and focused everyone's attention on himself: "There may be some of you who are already familiar with you, and some of you are not well-known to everyone. But it doesn't matter. Here, you don't need to be eloquent, just One exquisite performance will make everyone remember your name!"

Xue Qian took a step forward and said to everyone: "I have an interesting idea for today's competition. Let's have a unique team competition."

As soon as this statement came out, the potion masters were confused.

Team competition?
  Most of the potion masters prepare potions independently. It seems that they have never heard of a team competition...

Xue Qian seemed to see everyone's confusion and waved his hand.

Rows of operation desks in the operation room floated up and lined up on both sides. The space expanded rapidly. A circular space appeared in the center, resembling the Colosseum in ancient Rome, with two phantoms of humanoid models arranged in rows. Both sides of the arena.

This series of changes shocked the contestants!

No one thought that Xue Qian was so proficient in space magic.

Xue Qian's voice came unhurriedly: "Each team has three initial experimental humanoid mimic models Type IV. This type of humanoid mimic model is a new product that was developed not long ago. It can be used as a standard wizard. The absorption ability absorbs magic potion, which is equivalent to an official wizard template."

Following Xue Qian's explanation, three sealed spheres were suspended beside the operating tables of both parties, which should be the humanoid mimic models for this experiment.

A magic-constructed panel appeared in front of Xue Qian, with ten red and blue dots appearing on it, as well as six corresponding Q-version dolls.

"Some people may have guessed what this assessment will be about. Yes, it is to use magic potions to strengthen the humanoid mimic model and defeat the opponent's humanoid mimic model. I hope some of the contestants like the duel. You guys need to have a plan. Strengthen these three dolls.”

Red and blue dots are lined up behind different dolls, and the dots are constantly feeding medicine to the dolls.

"In each round, a player needs to be selected to control the mimicry and engage in one-on-one battles. There are three rounds of battles. Each player can only participate once at most."

The red and blue square dots each selected the three strongest ones, controlled the puppets with their consciousness, and the red and blue sides began to fight!

"There will be a round of duels every hour, with two wins out of three. The winning team will get a death-free gold medal! The losing team will fight on their own and enter the knockout round. Friendly reminder: The last two teams in the knockout round will be eliminated directly!"

The losing dots lost their color and quickly started fighting with each other. In the end, two dots were marked with a bright red "X".

Faced with such an intuitive display, the players looked solemn.

The one-fifth probability of elimination is cruel, and no one wants to go home on the first day.

Xue Qian continued: "The death-free gold medal is a strong guarantee for you to get to the end! So, everyone, try your best to make your team win!"

He clapped his hands, and the magic-constructed panels disappeared.

Gordon continued: "The team needs leaders, and we will designate captains for this team competition. They are the players who have performed well before, the blue team - Li Daoxian, the red team - Catherine. And your members will be arranged as you are now. In order, odd numbers go to the left to get the blue badge, and even numbers get the red badge.”

"You have five minutes to discuss and then the game will begin. Get ready, game, let's begin!"

Members of both sides rushed back to their respective positions.

Gordon exclaimed: "What a lively scene. There is nothing more fascinating than the collision of ideas."

Maggie is a little interested in this competition system: "It's very interesting. This method not only tests the wizards' teamwork ability, but also tests the captain's decision-making and leadership skills. The effect of the potion is also more intuitive, who wins. Negative, it’s clear at a glance, I kind of want to try it too.”

"Then let's have a duel like this too?" Gordon joked.

"I don't want to compare with you." Maggie rolled her eyes at Gordon.

Gordon shrugged and returned to the subject: "Actually, in war, logistics wizards are often potion wizards. On the battlefield, they need to race against time to refine potions. Every wizard should have certain potion abilities, at least when encountering In special circumstances, some potions reserves may save lives, which is why potions class has always been a compulsory subject."

Xue Qian smiled slightly and expressed his thoughts: "In this competition, strategy is also very important. There is a story in Xia State, that is, Tian Ji's horse racing. If the potion resources are allocated reasonably, it is possible to turn defeat into victory."

Gordon nodded: "Yes, that's it."

"Five minutes have passed. Let's see the results of their discussion." Maggie looked at the things in front of her with some anticipation.

-

"Check in!"

"The competition system is a bit interesting... now it's clear whose potion is better."

"Hahaha, I kind of want to see the instructors give a demonstration."

"This competition system is probably very beneficial to Li Daoxian. After all, he shortened the potion brewing time in the previous two times."

"Li Daoxian is a big troll, and the potion masters who work with him are having fun watching it."

Barrage carnival.

The screen also showed different perspectives of the contestants in a timely manner, and at the same time showed everyone's outstanding performance during the audition, making it easier for the audience to understand the contestants.

-

Blue Team puts down the humanoid mimic model.

Li Daoxian summoned his teammates and pointed to the person on his left: "Everyone, observe the mimicry. The person whose turn it is will introduce his or her name and specialty potions. Try to be as simple as possible, starting with you."

The guy on the left looks very thin, with obvious magic pattern tattoos on his neck: "Miles. Good at elemental mixtures."

Next came the fat lady: "Funi, good at supplements and healing potions."

The curly-haired young man: "Hu Lun. Mental stabilizing potion."

The big man with giant antlers said: "Al Falak. Natural magic potion."

Silver-haired girl: "Lizelotta, healing potion and protective potion."

Scarface: "Damia, strengthen the secret medicine, but the side effects are very serious."

Some shy young students said: "Antonis, you know a little bit of everything."

The middle-aged man with a curse on his mouth: "Joffrey, curse."

The last one is also from Xia: "Tian Junlong, earth element potion."

When everyone's introduction was completed, Li Daoxian nodded.

Including myself, there are four people who can refine elemental mixtures on my side (Myers, Al Falak, Tian Junlong), two with special functions (Hu Lun, Joffrey), and three with healing and strengthening (Funi, Lizerota, Damia), and Antonis, a free man.

There are two more points that need to be confirmed. Li Daoxian asked Alfalak: "Can you refine the transformation potion? It doesn't matter if it has side effects."

"Yes, transformation potion is also a part of nature..."

Al'Farrak nodded, the decorations on his body indicating that he was a druid. There are very few druids who are willing to become potion masters. Most of them are nature conservationists, and they are very uncomfortable with the act of picking potions and refining living things.

Obviously, the druid in front of him is an exception.

After getting the answer, Li Daoxian asked Hu Lun: "Can you make a magic potion for mental attacks, such as mental puncture or consciousness invasion..."

Hu Lun nodded: "No problem."

Li Daoxian's evaluation of his teammates this time has improved again.

Both of these are high-level potions, and teammates have the ability to brew them. It seems that after the audition, the admission standards of the tutors have indeed been much higher.

"Are you sure you can successfully refine it within two hours..."

After hesitating for a moment, Hu Lun replied: "Yes, it just needs to be simplified and the medicine may have side effects."

Li Daoxian said directly: "It doesn't matter if there are side effects."

He explained: "You see, the experimental humanoid mimicry model has the energy level of a standard wizard in terms of potion tolerance and sensitivity. However, the biggest difference between it and a wizard is its identity. It is not a wizard. , strictly speaking, this is an experimental product, what we have to do now is to transform it into a combat tool. In this case, as long as it does not affect the side effects of the potion, it is completely acceptable, do you understand?"

The team members nodded in agreement.

"However, if the side effects of the potion are too great, I'm afraid the activity of the humanoid mimic model will be weakened." The speaker was Lizerota, with silver hair and a delicate face, like a Barbie doll.

Li Daoxian replied: "It doesn't take long. If necessary, you can use supplements to maintain it. Defense is difficult, but killing is easy. The core of this competition is offense, as long as you defeat the opponent's mimic before falling down." ”

After clarifying his ideas with the team members, Li Daoxian divided the team members into three groups.

Teaming up with the druid Al Falak, who was strengthened to the greatest extent through the transformation potion, Li Daoxian tried to create an extreme attack method to kill with one hit.

Miles, Tian Junlong, Funi, Lizerota, and Antonis formed a team of five. Funi came up with an idea, so she was the person in charge. They will use a relatively orthodox method to create a "spell fort". Some people will build the fort, some will provide protection, and some will provide reinforcement.

Hullen, Joffrey and Damia approached the cursed spirit attack. This type of potion took a long time to brew, so they could only appear last. If the opponent's humanoid mimic model does not build a mental defense, it will suffer a big loss.

After deciding on the plan, everyone took action. Li Daoxian's task was to make the first shot and get off to a good start.

Li Daoxian's mission to the Druid: "You make the Frostcrow Transformation Potion. We have one hour. We don't need to consider the side effects. If necessary, we can simplify some functions. You weigh it yourself. At forty-five points, at least Complete the preparation of the potion."

"give it to me."

The transformation potion is somewhat similar to the mimic potion. The difference is that the transformation potion can obtain the talent of transforming objects according to the effect of the potion. But the key point is the same, which is the stability of the drug effect.

Improper handling of transformation potions may lead to side effects such as affecting the mind and permanent transformation. This part is often time-consuming and the key to affecting the success rate, but there is no need to consider it at the moment. Overall, it is a very cost-effective option.

All Li Daoxian can do now is trust his teammates.

Because his task was equally heavy, he wanted to kill with one hit, and chose to use poison to supplement the lethality. Therefore, he needed to complete four potions - ice arrow potion, neurotoxin mixed potion, and blood poison. Potion of Swiftness.

Time passed quietly.

Li Daoxian summoned medicinal materials from the ceiling and processed them quickly, with concise and precise movements. If you observe carefully, you can see that part of his movements are incorporated into Gordon's habits.

Maggie noticed this and teased Gordon: "Did you accept him as a disciple? You look at him, he looks a bit like you when you were young."

Gordon also noticed it. He was very satisfied with Li Daoxian's progress, but still said: "Really? I was much more handsome than him when I was young."

Maggie smiled: "It's okay to lie to others, but you can't fool me."

"Eh...that's..."

At this moment, Maggie looked at a Xia Kingdom potion master in the red team and made a weak gesture towards Li Daoxian.

Xue Qian followed Maggie's gaze and said, "I know him. My colleague's son, Yuan Hua, is a very talented young potion master."

Maggie frowned: "I don't like him. Insulting your opponent doesn't make you look noble."

Gordon holds a different view: "But it can effectively attack the opponent's mentality. This is a game and a war. It means attacking the opponent at all costs!"

The barrage was detonated by this sudden scene.

"Weak explosion? Crazy!"

"Are you really that confident? Are you so weak before the results come out? Are you really not afraid of flags..."

"Weak explosion, weak explosion, weak explosion."

"no quality!"

"Okay, what does this have to do with quality? This is a way to attack the mind. I think there is nothing wrong with being a little confident!"

The barrages attacked each other instantly and were divided into two distinct factions.

Director Yan stopped typing the barrage, looked at the soaring number of barrages, and smiled without saying a word.

-

Li Daoxian saw the other party's gesture, made the same "1" gesture, and then spread his hands.

Seeing Yuan Hua nodding and raising his neck, Li Daoxian knew that the agreed challenge had begun.

It just so happened that I also learned something new.

In the first game, let’s check your level first.

Li Daoxian took a deep breath, adjusted his magic level, constructed a complex magic ritual in his body, and aroused a breath...

"Magic potion sublimation method...activate!"

-

Yuan Hua didn't pay much attention to Li Daoxian. Strictly speaking, what he wanted to target was not Li Daoxian, but the first place in this game.

His goal is only to win the championship. Whoever is the first is his prey.

He has been playing in his father's laboratory since he was a child. His innate talent and the atmosphere of a potion family have made everyone who knows him praise his abilities. This is the source of Yuan Hua's confidence.

Yuan Hua believes in his talent.

So, he, who was originally assigned to brew high-level potions and prepare for the third game, found Catherine and got straight to the point: "I will advance to the first game."

Catherine frowned: "Hasn't it been allocated before..."

Yuan Hua raised the corner of his mouth and said openly: "I will go to the first game, I am not discussing with you..."

Catherine instantly felt a familiar feeling. Yes, most of the playboys she knew were like this. The next sentence was probably...

The words Yuan Hua said with an evil smile were instantly synchronized with the words in Catherine's heart: "It's a notification!"

After that, Yuan Hua added: "Don't question me, woman!"

Catherine sighed.

Damn, retarded.

"Okay. Then switch with Imogen, and you can be the first one. But I want to make it clear that if you lose, you have to bear all the consequences."

Yuan Hua snorted coldly: "It's impossible for me to lose with such a verbose woman!"
