Ding Dong, Ding Dong...
Early in the morning, the doorbell kept ringing.
The doorbell of the villa is not crisp at all, it sounds a bit like beating a drum.
In the master bedroom, Lin You sat up yawning, looked around in confusion, and was about to fall down when the doorbell rang again.
Who is it?
So early.
I suppressed my bad temper, got out of bed sleepily, and casually put on a pair of slippers.
Come to the door.
The door is open.
What caught my eye was a girl with a ponytail and a pretty face.
"Sorry to bother you so early."
The girl with the ponytail apologized first, then handed the two crystal boxes to Lin You and said, "This is what you bought at the redemption mall yesterday. Please use your magic to sign for it."
As he spoke, he took out another whiteboard. This whiteboard was a signature board, which had the function of recording magic.
"Oh, so fast."
Lin You's temper faded, and he quickly thanked him, "Thank you so much."
As he spoke, he also injected magic power into the receipt board, and a faint blue light appeared on the receipt board.
Lin You asked, "Is this all right?"
"Well, thank you for your cooperation."
"It should be."
Lin You smiled and asked curiously, "By the way, are you a student here?"
The girl with the ponytail looked very young, not much older than him.
The girl smiled and nodded, "Yes, I'm a sophomore, and you should be a freshman, right?"
"So it's you, Senior. I'm so sorry, so sorry."
"Pfft, junior, the way you speak is really humorous."
The girl with the ponytail was a little amused. She blinked and said, "Speaking of which, this year's freshmen class is really amazing. Each one is more handsome than the other."
"Senior sister has good taste."
Lin You praised.
"I'm just telling the truth."
The girl with the ponytail smiled and said, "Okay, handsome junior, I still have a lot of things to give you. See you next time."
"Next time."
After saying goodbye to the girl with a ponytail, Lin You couldn't help but laugh.
Jiangcheng University really knows how to have fun.
The examiner was given the position of student, and the delivery person was also a student. It goes without saying that the senior student should also be serving at the duel point.
In this case, shouldn't I also think about it and find a job that can make some money on campus?
…
Holding two crystal boxes, Lin You sat on the sofa.
I put the crystal box on the crystal coffee table in front of me, and looking at these two treasures, I no longer felt sleepy.
Magic supplements of the same type are not suitable for continuous absorption in a short period of time.
A few days ago, Lin You had just absorbed a high-quality medium-sized magic crystal, so his eyes were now directly on the magic orb.
In terms of type, the magic orb is the same as the magic crystal, both of which are mainly absorption types, but compared to the magic crystal, the absorption curve is smoother.
So, there’s nothing wrong with trying to absorb it.
What's more, Lin You looked through the admission handbook last night, which specifically introduced several major training areas on campus.
Among them, there is a magic pressure training area.
It is also a more complete magic pressure training area, divided into several levels.
There are free ones and paid ones.
So Lin You doesn’t have to worry too much. There is no problem in absorbing it now. He can just go through the magic pressure later.
In short, the assessment island officially started on the 19th.
There are still three days left. Although the time is short, I can improve myself as much as possible so that I can be more confident in the subsequent assessments.
Thinking of this, Lin You didn't waste any words.
Open the crystal box containing the magic orb and take out the magic orb.
Although it was the first time I had seen this thing, the main method of absorbing magic supplements was similar.
It mainly relies on magic power to water, devour and then merge.
"You are worth 50 duel points. Don't let me down."
Lin You muttered something and slowly injected magic power.
The dark blue magic power emerged and gradually enveloped the magic orb.
The orb, covered in magic power, seemed to resonate, emitting a faint blue glow.
Lin You felt that the flow of magic power in his body began to accelerate.
During this stage where the flow of magic power is accelerated, the magic orb is obviously much more stable.
When absorbing magic crystals before, the magic power will accelerate and become faster and faster in a short period of time.
But now, the magic acceleration is almost uniform.
The cool feeling seeped in little by little, and after a long time, the flow rate of magic power began to slow down.
But when it descends, it is no longer at a constant speed, but is getting faster and faster as if it is devouring a magic crystal.
This is the process of magic freezing, symbolizing Lin You's powerful magical physique.
It wasn't obvious when absorbing the magic crystal, but this time, it was fully reflected in the absorption of the magic orb.
If someone knowledgeable about this were here, they would definitely be amazed.
The magic orb absorbs energy at a constant speed, but freezes it not much faster. The overall effect is pretty average.
But Lin You seemed to have injected hormones into the magic orb, forcing it to freeze quickly.
The moment the magic power completely froze, the cold feeling dissipated.
A new magical power began to become active in Lin You's body.
"7 o'clock? That high?!"
After sensing the growth of magic power in his body, Lin You was greatly surprised.
Isn't it said that the magic power absorption of the magic orb is more stable?
How come there are 7 points in the first absorption?
This thing can be used 4-6 times!
Its biggest advantage is that it is absorbed smoothly and will not lose much effect due to repeated use.
Of course, the premise is that it is used in moderation. Using it two or even three times in a short period of time will definitely not work.
But even so, based on the calculation of 6 points each time, even if there are only 4 absorption opportunities, it is an increase of nearly 30 points of magic power.
In fact, Lin You still underestimated the results of his absorption this time.
For an ordinary person, magic orb would be a blessing if they could absorb 3 or 4 points of magic at a time, and this refers to those with good magic physique.
At best, it will be 5 o'clock.
7 o'clock, that's a bit unbelievable.
After absorbing the magic power, Lin You felt quite relaxed.
In this way, his total magic power reached 182 points, which was not the lowest even among the advanced candidates.
"This magic power improvement doesn't seem that difficult!"
Lin You said this lightly, but he also knew that this was because he was gifted and ordinary people could not do it.
After all.
Or he is just too good!
"Then again, it hasn't been long since the last absorption, so there's probably a lot of magical debris accumulated in the body. We can't neglect this matter."
Alarm bells rang in my heart.
Lin You was not yet overwhelmed by joy.
If there is a blockage of magic due to too much accumulation of magical debris, then it will be a disaster.
"Let's go to the Magic Pressure Building."
Lin You immediately made a decision in his mind. The Magic Pressure Building was one of the training areas he saw in the admission handbook.
Hurry up!
If you go too late, there might not be any seats left.
It is clearly written in the manual that the number of people in the free area is limited.
Although there are not many new students in the school, the magic pressure is not only useful for new students.
After washing up and putting on the duel disk, Lin You went out.
…
Half an hour later.
After wandering around for most of the day, Lin You finally found the Magic Pressure Building mentioned in the manual.
The school is too large, and even if there are signposts, they will not be of much help if you have no idea about the campus environment.
In order to find the place, Lin You asked several people along the way.
Among them was a swindler who looked like a skinny monkey. I didn’t know if he remembered the wrong way or was just pretending to know the way and pointing randomly.
The direction is ridiculously off.
This caused him to take the wrong road and wasted a lot of time.
But still, the result is still good.
At this moment, a few dozen meters away is the magic pressure building.
The building is quite tall, probably over fifty meters, and its architectural style is retro, like an ancient tower.
The higher you go, the smaller the area.
According to the manual, this Magic Pressure Building is divided into seven floors. The first two floors are free, and the last five floors are paid, with different prices.
There were already quite a few people queuing at the entrance of the Magic Pressure Building.
Most of them are freshmen and are curious about everything about the school.
But he is indeed diligent enough.
It's just after seven o'clock now.
Lin You hurriedly quickened his pace, fearing that there would be no room left.
Although the magic pressure effect of the paid floors is better, he can't use it for the time being.
At best, he was just an apprentice one-star duelist. The manual said that starting from the fourth level, the effect of magic pressure would be much stronger.
With each subsequent layer, the effect becomes more and more outstanding.
As for the third level, the effect is the same as the first and second levels, but it is charged.
Lin You quickly lined up and noticed an electronic bulletin board.
It records the status of each floor.
The first floor is already full.
On the second floor, there are still more than 30 places left.
Lin You immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
The current line is not very long, and there are only about ten people in front of him.
It's free now!
Compared with other freshmen, Lin You can actually be considered a rich man.
Even if there are only 120 duel points left, you are still a rich man.
Not to mention the freshmen, even the old students would be envious when they see it.
Lin You doesn't think so.
He felt like he was going broke.
If you don't work harder, the resources for cultivation will be cut off.
He is not a stingy person, otherwise he would not have decisively purchased a magic orb that had never been used and cost as much as 50 duel points. But these duel points must be spent more practically to maximize benefits, right?
The people in front came one after another.
Soon, it was Lin You's turn.
The person in charge of guarding the Magic Pressure Tower is a middle-aged man. Finally, it is no longer a student taking on the job!
"Come, register your magic power."
As the middle-aged man spoke, he pointed to something in front of him that looked like a bulletin board.
In Jiangcheng High School, once magic power is connected to the duel disk, it basically symbolizes a person's identity, so many procedures can be handled with magic power.
Lin You immediately injected his magic power, and within a few seconds, the registration was completed.
"Pay attention to the time and come out within an hour."
"I understand, teacher."
The middle-aged man reminded him, and Lin You responded immediately. This type of training facility basically has a time limit, but the time is very sufficient.
For this kind of magic pressure training, almost no freshman can last for 30 minutes. Most of them can only last for 10 minutes or even a few minutes, which is very common.
As you walk into the tower, what comes into view is a corridor paved with brown wooden boards.
There is a signpost in the corridor, and ahead is a layer of magic pressure area.
But it was full.
Nearby, there is an ancient wooden staircase.
Stairs lead to the second floor.
Walking along the stairs, there were a few people in front of him. Lin You didn't recognize these people. They should be freshmen who passed the regular assessment.
Soon, we reached the second floor.
A corridor exactly the same as the first floor appeared.
After passing through the corridor, the view immediately becomes wider.
A circular venue appeared. The area of the venue was not large, but it was more than 100 square meters.
In the venue, there were faint blue light particles visible to the naked eye, and these light particles were slightly distorted.
More than ten people were staying in the venue, some with ferocious faces, some gritting their teeth and persevering.
Of course, there are also some who are relatively calm.
The training method in this magic pressure building is different from the magic track of Jianghua High School.
You must keep running on the magic track to continue feeling the gravity.
But here, even if you don't move, magic power will continue to be output.
If you can't hold on, you can leave the venue on your own.
There is a circle of footholds around the circular venue, which is where Lin You is standing now. There is no gravity here.
At this time.
In the venue, a group of people were standing in a row training.
Several people seemed to be unable to hold on any longer, but they gritted their teeth and were unwilling to give up easily.
Seeing this scene, Lin You couldn't help but sigh.
Is this the freshman at Jiangcheng University?
This willpower is really good.
Lin You couldn't help but look at them for a while longer. They had been unable to hold on for a long time, but at this moment they were still holding on, their faces almost twisted into a ball.
This is too much.
Lin You was even more surprised.
Plop.
There was a sound of falling, and a student fell to the ground uncontrollably.
Then, as if a chain reaction had started, more sounds of people falling to the ground were heard.
Some of the freshmen who had just arrived were a little scared. Isn’t this too hard?
Lin You was also surprised.
But there is no need to worry.
The manual also says that after falling to the ground, you will be ejected safely.
Sure enough, the next moment, several people were enveloped by a soft light.
They appeared collectively on the periphery.
After the pressure of magic disappeared, several people stood up one after another with some difficulty.
At this moment, a boy with small eyes jogged over cheerfully, rubbing his hands and saying, "You almost won, just by a hair's breadth. What a pity."
As he said that, he took out his duel card and said, "Hey, everyone, let's pay."
Several people were extremely depressed, but they still took out their duel cards and swiped them on each other's cards.
This was at the trading duel point, and during the trading session, another person was walking towards them.
This man was also one of that group of people. Just now, everyone else fell down, but he was still holding on. After everyone else was sent out, he immediately walked out of the heavy pressure area.
Lin You was stunned, he seemed to understand something.
At this moment, many freshmen who had just entered were looking at this scene with some curiosity.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, the boy with small eyes smiled even more, as if he had expected it.
"So, you're all freshmen, do you have any ideas for earning some duel points?"
"Duel point?"
When they heard him talk about this, many people's eyes lit up.
Although they had just entered school, they were well aware of the importance of duel points long before they started school.
Especially after receiving the duel disk and unlocking the redemption mall.
The dazzling array of exchangeable items dazzled them and made them salivate.
When they looked at their wallets again, they all looked miserable.
If there is a chance to earn duel points, they are of course very interested.
Lin You was no exception. He had already guessed what the other party wanted to say.
"Haha, it seems like everyone is just like me, wanting to fill up their empty wallets."
The boy with small eyes smiled, but some of the students whose appetites were aroused by him were already impatient and could not hold back any longer.
"Don't say these useless things. Tell me, how do we do it?"
"That's right, it's so boring to keep people in suspense."
This was the result the boy with small eyes wanted to see. He was very satisfied with it and immediately said:
"Okay, I won't keep you in suspense. Like I said earlier, I'm a freshman this year, just like you. My name is Guo Rui, and you probably haven't heard of him."
"Since we're all freshmen, are you interested in a freshman competition? I mean, with stakes involved, though the stakes aren't high, of course."
"Bet, how do we bet?"
Someone asked immediately.
"Actually, you just saw it."
Guo Rui smiled, his eyes narrowed into slits. "The content of the bet is the magical pressure field in front of everyone. Let's compete to see who can last longer in this pressure field."
"Everyone who loses the competition must pay 2 duel points to the final winner."
"Only 2 points?"
"Of course, a little gambling is fun. Besides, we're all just freshmen, so there's no need to take too much risk. This way, if we win, each of us gets 2 points, so the winner won't take less. Even if we lose, the cost won't be that big."
Guo Rui smiled and said, "Just now, this brother was the final winner. There were a total of 6 people who participated in the bet, so he directly earned 10 duel points this time."
As he said this, he pointed at the student standing at the end.
Someone couldn't help but wonder, "Could he be an old student?"
"There's absolutely no need to worry about this."
Guo Rui remained calm and continued smiling, "If you've read the admissions handbook, you'll know that the duel disks issued to freshmen are all the same. However, in the second year, the duel disks will be replaced and upgraded."
"The duel disk in his hand is the best proof of his identity. The same goes for you."
"Of course, I don't know every one of you personally, and your admission scores are certainly different. Therefore, those who are confident in their abilities are welcome to participate. Those who are unsure can train on their own."
Although Guo Rui said "I'm worried", the subtext makes people feel that it means something else: those who are not confident in their own abilities can ignore the bet and train on their own.
They were all young people full of vigor and vitality, and they were freshmen in school, so some of them really couldn't resist the excitement.
After all, the content of the competition is the pressure of magic power. Even if the magic power is high, it will not have much advantage unless it is a crushing victory.
More importantly, it is a competition of willpower.
It’s just a competition, there’s nothing to be afraid of!
It’s just 2 duel points, it’s not that I can’t afford to lose.
Guo Rui looked around at the freshmen who were full of fighting spirit and said with a smile, "Well, everyone, if you are interested in participating, please express your interest so that we can enter together."
As soon as he finished speaking, seven or eight people expressed their willingness to join the competition.
"Count me in."
Lin You inadvertently sneaked in, but he was already very happy in his heart.
This guy, he knew he needed help, but he came here to give him money. It's so touching!
There is true love in the world and great love on campus!
