Superpower Mechanic: I Have Unlimited Ammo! novel Chapter 14

Chapter 14: Chapter 14: Selection Rules, Three Challenges!

Hearing Yun Miao's voice, Li Haotian's expression became more serious.

He knew that although the college selection tournament was held once a year, the selection rules were different each time.

Yun Miao glanced at the newcomers below, her voice calm, yet everyone could hear her clearly.

"These students in front of you are the outstanding ones from the previous year's freshmen of each academy."

"And in the Light Mirrors before them, there is a projection of themselves. The projection can use all their abilities, but its overall strength is only half of the original."

"Each of you has three chances to enter the Light Mirror, and if you can hold out for 3 minutes under the attacks of the projection, you will gain the qualification to enter the academy represented by that student."

At this point, Yun Miao paused slightly, then continued, "I must remind you that the representatives of different academies have vastly different levels and strengths."

"The number on the badge on each academy representative's chest indicates that student's current level."

"Therefore, think carefully before making your choice, otherwise, if the opponent you choose exceeds your capability, it would be equivalent to wasting a chance."

"If all three challenges are failed, it means you are eliminated from this college selection tournament and will have to wait until next year to try again."

"This selection tournament will last until midnight, and those who have not completed the challenge by midnight will also be considered eliminated. Let's begin."

After speaking, Yun Miao turned and returned to her seat.

Jiang Zhen frowned slightly, looking at Yun Miao: "Teacher Yun Miao, the rules you've set seem simple and direct, but for those newcomers, the difficulty is quite high."

Yun Miao glanced at him and said in a deep voice, "Are you talking about the asymmetry of information?"

Jiang Zhen nodded: "The talents represented by those students are not bad, and they've spent a year in their respective academies. Although newcomers can roughly gauge the students' level by the badge and their professional emblem on the forehead,"

"The apparent level and actual combat power are completely different things. It is quite challenging for them to choose the suitable academy and opponent."

Yun Miao remained calm: "That's why I gave them three chances to choose."

"If they aren't brainless fools, they should make a conservative choice first, at least to ensure they aren't eliminated."

"Based on this, they can then strive for a better, more suitable academy."

Jiang Zhen contemplated for a moment and shook his head lightly: "That's true, but at their age and with their experience, not many might achieve that."

Yun Miao's expression hardened, her tone turning cold: "Teacher Jiang Zhen, have you forgotten the last world instance?"

"This..." Jiang Zhen showed a helpless expression on his face.

"As a professional, growing and developing requires more than just talent."

"If they only rely on their talent and abilities to act recklessly, they might have a period of success at low levels, but what about when they reach higher levels?"

"Large instances, Slaughter Dungeons, world instances... A single carelessness in these high-level instances could lead to death!"

"How many so-called geniuses has our East Dragon Empire lost in recent world instances? Let's not talk about other instances; just the last world instance alone cost us half our people!"

Li Haotian became somewhat hesitant.

Qinghua and Beida are both the best academies in the East Dragon Empire, and whether it's teaching quality or the number of strong figures they've produced, they're equally matched.

For ordinary people, getting into either of these academies is a great blessing.

"Ha, Li Haotian, looking at you, are you thinking about trying Qinghua Academy and Beida Academy?"

Just as Li Haotian was pondering, a mocking voice came from beside him.

Li Haotian turned his head and found it was Yuan Ting and Du Guyan.

Yuan Ting wore a mocking expression: "Li Haotian, this is a college selection tournament. It relies on genuine strength. You might have found some trick to exploit a bug in the instance. Do you also plan to exploit one here?"

Li Haotian sneered: "Whether I exploit a bug or not is none of your business! I don't know who tried to learn from me a few days ago, but unfortunately, their intelligence fell short. They wanted to exploit a bug but didn't even get the chance!"

"You!" Yuan Ting was immediately infuriated.

"Stubborn as a mule! Li Haotian, today I will show you what a genuine Illusion God profession is!"

"Compared to my Night Patrol Deity, your trashy Mechanic can only exploit a bug; apart from that, it's good for nothing!"

With that, Yuan Ting strutted towards the Illusion Mirror in front of Yun Lan.

"Qingshan Academy, Yuan Ting, Level 16 Night Patrol Deity, challenging Beida Academy!"
