Final Priesthood

Chapter 163 Only civilian players like to form teams

“After entering the smoke-free city, you are not allowed to leave the city limits without authorization, otherwise you will be deemed to have voluntarily exited immediately.

 Make good use of the watch in your hand and pay more attention to the information released and changed on it

 The performance points you earn during the assessment process will be converted into corresponding merit points after the assessment is completed.

 Even if you don’t pass the test, you can still exchange it for a large amount of money.”

 “So..work hard to show off!”

At the door of the shuttle cabin, the middle-aged man Baixiong who was responsible for explaining the assessment rules handed Lu Yuan a black watch with an LCD dial.

 Then pat him on the shoulder as a final encouragement.

Lu Yuan nodded, put away his watch, and watched the silver-gray shuttle take off in front of him, then quickly fly away.

 He was the last one to get off the shuttle among the five assessors who finally decided to take part in the assessment.

The shuttle "dropped" the five of them at different locations in the Smoke-free City.

  It seemed that they did not want them to stay together and act collectively from the beginning.

Where Lu Yuan is now, it is in an old alley with a rather ancient style. There is no one around, except for a black cat squatting next to a trash can not far away, watching him quietly.

　　The road is far ahead.

The black cat didn't seem to be afraid of him at all, and instead walked towards him actively.

 Then he lay down lazily two meters away from him, looking at him with squinted eyes provocatively.

Lu Yuan blinked in surprise.

Before he could react, a small wooden door next to the alley opened with a creak from the inside.

 A long-haired woman in a white skirt came out and gently picked up the black cat.

When leaving, he smiled politely at Lu Yuan, but when he turned his head, his eyes looked unusually cold.

Lu Yuan smacked his lips, feeling a little inexplicable emotion in his heart.

 He ​​was beyond ordinary people's keen perception, and noticed that whether it was a black cat or a woman, there was an emotion that was almost "numb".

 Their emotional fluctuations are gentler than ordinary people, or they are too indifferent.

　　It gives people a feeling of "seeing through the world of mortals" and "having no interest in life".

“It seems that the so-called ‘immortality’ in the new era is not necessarily a good thing.”

Lu Yuan sighed and walked slowly out of the old alley.

　　The area where the shuttle dropped him seemed to be a nostalgic old neighborhood in a smoke-free city.

 There are old-school architectural styles everywhere.

It was very different from what he saw when he looked down from the shuttle, which resembled sailboats, bird's nests, and discs, with neon and streamer lights on the edges, full of a sense of futurism and technology.

　　The journey was a long way down the street.

There were not many pedestrians on the road, and everyone looked lazy, giving the impression that Lu Yuan was the same as the black cat and woman I saw in the alley before.

　　A long way away, we stopped at an outdoor cafe playing classical blues music.

I ordered something casually, then sat on the chair and fiddled with the electronic watch specially designed for assessment.

 The operation is similar to that of a mobile phone, except that when you touch the screen, there will be an enlarged virtual light screen floating on the screen.

 It is a product of high technology in the new world.

Lu Yuan clicked on the screen, and the first thing that appeared was a map of Smoke-free City No. 3.

There is a light spot on the map, representing his current location.

 The upper left corner displays the real-time time and a series of numbers—[14:23:55:22]

 The numbers have been decreasing, which is obviously a countdown to this assessment.

 The upper right corner is marked - Number of people to be assessed: 179.

 The total number of participants in this new blood assessment is 179.

 There are dozens of areas of different colors in the map.

These blocks are mainly divided into four types - black, red, blue and green.

 The number also decreases sequentially.

 There are only three black blocks, eight red blocks, and the combined number of blue and green blocks exceeds fifty.

Lu Yuan tried to click on an oval-shaped black area, and a message immediately popped up in front of his eyes—

  【Task level: S】

　　【Mission Details: Not Unlocked】

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　? ? ? 】

Lu Yuan’s expression changed slightly, and he clicked on the red, blue and green blocks in sequence.

Getting information feedback, these three colored blocks represent - A-level, B-level and C-level task points respectively.

 According to the depth of color, each grade is also divided into - A-, A, A+; B-, B, B+ and C-, C, C+

 Three different levels.

 The A-level and B-level mission points are all shown as unlocked.

 Only C-level mission points are open to all.

  —

  【Task Level: C-】

  【Mission goal: rescue the trapped hostages】

 【Task reward: 100 points (basic)】

  【Task details—

 Topographic map of mission points: Click to expand

Guard distribution map: Click to expand

Guard information—ordinary guard: D-class robot, main attack means (7.62MM caliber automatic rifle, type 59 bow grenade.)

  Leader: Blood Wolf, overall strength rating is D+, fist strength is 795kg, speed is good at military fighting skills, and he is proficient in killing techniques.

 Note: Death row prisoners can be shot]

Lu Yuan's eyes paused for a moment on the five words "Death row prisoners, can be shot to death" at the end of the information, and suddenly he had a deeper understanding of the assessment format of this simulated task.

“Since real villains are used as test questions, the death exemption agreement signed before the test also makes sense.”

When the coffee was brought, Lu Yuan politely said thank you to the waiter with a fake smile.

At the entrance of the coffee shop, the morning news from a smoke-free city was playing on the TV opposite him. It was all boring content about fires, car accidents, lost cats and dogs, etc.

Lu Yuan glanced at it casually and lost interest in paying any more attention.

 He ​​picked up the warm coffee and took a sip. The taste was so bad that he almost spit it out on the spot.

Originally I wanted to call the waiter back to argue, but after thinking about their living conditions, it seemed natural, so I gave it up.

  “New blood ranking list.”

Lu Yuan found a new option on his watch, clicked on it and took a look.

 But it was empty inside.

 It is estimated that someone will have to complete the task before it will appear on this ranking list.

 “Quests, rankings. It feels like you are playing a real online game.”

Lu Yuan tapped his fingers on the tabletop gently, his eyes brightening slightly.

 “It seems interesting.”

At this time, a prompt suddenly popped up on the watch - [You have the latest group messages, please check them in time. 】

"Yo."

Lu Yuan couldn't help but laugh, "There are actually players interacting." He immediately clicked in and immediately found himself in a multi-person chat group.

  Born to be the overlord (Ye Wuqiang): “1”

 The message prompt was sent by this "natural overlord (Ye Wuqiang.

 Lu Yuan saw almost everyone’s signature on the “Life and Death Sign” and instantly connected it with a certain long-haired young man wearing a black exoskeleton in his memory.

 One shot to the head (Xu Chengying): "Idiot?"

 Handborn Overlord (Ye Wuqiang): “???”

Hmm, this Xu Chengying should be the punk-style girl sitting directly opposite him in the shuttle without tying her shoes.

I didn’t expect the name to sound quite nice. It’s very different from my painting style.

Blue Lightning Finger (He Jun): "Death from laughter."

 Hello everyone. (Xiang Shenghao): smile) Hello everyone."

 The blue-haired boy and the pure martial arts youth who transformed Xinwu.

Lu Yuan thought for a while and sent an expression with interest.

　　 Lu Yuan (Lu Yuan): “(handsome)!”

 purchases

 Handshot with one shot (Xu Chengying): smile) Literally."

Born domineering (Ye Wuqiang): "Where are you@天 (Xu Chengying)? Let's **** **** power."

 One shot to the head (Xu Chengying): "Your ancestral grave. (smile

 The natural overlord (Ye Wuqiang): "I am XXXX (angry)!"

Unmoving like a mountain (Xiang Shenghao): "Stop making trouble, we are all partners, let's think about how to complete the task first (frowning

Lan Dianzhi (He Jun): "Oyster is right. Now everyone gathers at my coordinates and we discuss the assessment. (Positioning

Born Overlord (Ye Wuqiang): "??? Why are we gathering at your coordinates?"

  Lan Dianzhi (He Jun): "Look at the nickname. I am the strongest, and I think I am qualified to lead you."

 One shot to the head (Xu Chengying): middle finger

 The natural overlord (Ye Wuqiang): middle finger) (middle finger) (middle finger

Lu Yuan stared at the chat group for a while, feeling more and more bored.

 It was as if he had entered a group of primary school students.

“Is it possible that I really have to complete this assessment with such a group of teammates?”

Lu Yuan shook his head, "Forget it, the worst thing is that teamwork is no longer a priority."

 Thinking about it, he simply quit the group chat.

Just after logging out, I saw someone actively adding his friend’s information.

 When I clicked it, I saw it was "One Shot in the Head (Xu Chengying.

 Lu Yuan hesitated for a moment and clicked Accept.

Then I researched the chat channels and found that in addition to group chats, there are also all-person chat channels.

 Some people in the channel are already calling for people to form a team.

Probably, like him, he is a new blood examiner who is dissatisfied with the quality of his initial teammates and is preparing to form a new team to complete tasks.

“The degree of freedom is very high. It seems that team combat is very important in this assessment.

 It is estimated that overcoming difficult tasks through teamwork is the result that the Yellow Bear assessors most want to see. "

Just as the middle-aged White Bear who introduced the assessment rules on the way here emphasized, it is not recommended that they fight alone.

"but."

Lu Yuan stood up from the chair and gently pushed up the black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose.

  He randomly clicked on the C+ level mission point closest to him and strolled away.

 “I can choose not to accept this suggestion.”

“Only civilian players like to form teams.

 Leaderboard masters.”

 “I’ve always been used to clearing the nightmare dungeon alone.”

“Okay! Let’s make a compromise! In half an hour, everyone will gather at the Dream Bar on the map!”

On a certain busy street, a long-haired young man wearing a black exoskeleton typed this line quickly on his watch in a somewhat irritable manner.

finally.

 Several people in the chat group have no opinions.

 After all, they spent a lot of time arguing and taunting each other.

 Half an hour later.

Eastern part of the Smoke-free City, a bar full of futuristic and sci-fi style.

 The four people who had just been separated on the shuttle reunited.

Wearing an exoskeleton, the long-haired young man who almost occupied the space of two people glanced at the time on his watch and said in a deep voice: "Okay, let's get started."

 “Someone hasn’t come yet.”

The punk girl chewed gum and yawned.

"right."

Xiang Shenghao, a dark-skinned young man with a strong physique, also nodded and said: "The person named Lu Yuan in the group chat is not here."

 “Is it possible that all of us should continue to wait for him?”

The blue-haired boy on the side urged impatiently: "Grudge, if you don't start, I will find someone else to form a team."

 “Yes, no more waiting.”

The long-haired young man recalled it for a moment, and then agreed: "I have an impression that the road was far away, and there are no traces of technological transformation on my body.

  They did not carry any powerful equipment, and most of them were purely military.

  But look at his size”

The long-haired young man glanced at Xiang Shenghao and said: "I guess Chun Wu's strength is only average.

With this kind of combat power, one more than him is not more, and one less than him is not more.

And if he doesn't come, he may have found someone else to form a team.

 Go back to the group chat and kick him out, let’s discuss our issues first. "

As he spoke, the long-haired young man looked around, looked serious, and said: "Before working as a team, it is necessary to understand each other.

 So I suggest that everyone should not hide it, but report their respective strengths and advantages first, so that they know each other.

 I'll come first.

I, Ye Wuqiang, follow the exoskeleton strengthening route, and my boxing power can reach the highest level."

 “Ding dong!”

Before the long-haired young man finished speaking, the watches on the hands of the four people on the table all made a pleasant sound.

The other three subconsciously lowered their heads to check.

Not long after, someone whispered in surprise: "Ah, someone has already achieved the first pass of the C-level mission!"
