Chapter 176 Creating a magic trick?
"Lu Bin? Not bad, congratulations on getting first place in cultural achievement, and being the president!"
Mo Lan nodded with satisfaction and handed the paper in his hand to Lin Wo beside him.
"Count the scores from high to low, and here are the top 500."
"Yes, but President, how do we calculate the amount of these made in duplicate or in triplicate?"
Mo Lan looked at the papers on the ground. Those with high scores basically did three papers. He said after pondering for a moment.
"If the scores on the first test are the same, the one who did three tests will be given priority, and the one who did two tests will be given second place."
Zou Peng was stunned when he heard this.
"What if the sum of the scores for three papers is one point higher but only one paper is done?"
As soon as Zou Peng finished speaking, Mo Lan noticed that many people were looking at him with expectant eyes, and Mo Lan smiled.
“It’s easy to make three portions of 95, but it’s hard to make one portion of 96.
If you can't do one right, what's the point of doing three? Making the same mistake three times?"
"Being able to make three also shows that you are fast, flexible and adaptable."
Suddenly a wizard stood up and said something. Zou Peng cried out in his heart when he heard it.
“Great!”
Seeing this, Mo Lan turned to look at him and said with a little confusion.
"Didn't I already tell you that for the same score, three copies are better than two, and two copies are better than one?
If others can get high scores in the exam, it means they are stronger than you. Everyone can stack numbers, but we want to break through the upper limit.
How about this, I'll make some more corrections, and take the highest score from the three papers as the score, is that ok?"
The mage's momentum suddenly weakened when he heard this. He nodded and said in a nod.
"OK."
Mo Lan nodded upon seeing this.
"Okay then, let's start the ranking. Only the top 500 will be counted."
“Will the statistics be announced immediately after they are completed?”
"No, there is an extra test, an extra test for the examiners."
After Mo Lan finished speaking, he looked around at the ten candidates waiting in the examination area, and his voice echoed over the examination room again.
"For the sake of fairness, the examiner who just invigilated your exam did not directly join the Mage Association.
They even still serve as examiners as volunteers.
They set the test questions, discuss the grading standards together, and are responsible for hosting and supervising the exams.
It would be unfair to you if they were asked to take the same test.
So now that your exam is over and theirs is beginning, I will be personally administering an additional exam for them, and the entire room of candidates will be responsible for invigilating the exam.
To ensure fairness, 20 examiners, please take your seats!"
Lin Wo and the other twenty people looked at each other, then immediately found twenty seats in the middle of the examination room and sat down. The staff next to them handed them paper and pens.
Seeing them sitting down, Mo Lan's voice rang out.
"Okay, now the exam is about to begin, and what is the exam question?
The test questions will be decided by all the candidates and even all the players.
Everyone, please log in to the Mage Forum, go to the top post, and give your valuable opinions. I will choose the more reasonable one from the three replies with the highest likes as the test question. "
Before Mo Lan finished speaking, candidates opened the forum with curiosity, but when they saw the pinned post, their eyes widened in surprise.
"Examiner's question: Create . The test will last three hours."
When everyone saw the top line of words, they were a little surprised and thought subconsciously.
This isn't just a show, is it?
But when I saw the content below, this thought immediately disappeared from my mind.
"Reply to this post with the name of the trick, and the most appropriate one among the three with the most likes will be chosen as the test question.
The reply format is as follows:
Name: Air Magic
Effect: Releases breathable air.
Note: The voting period is thirty minutes, and the counting will end after thirty minutes. "
"Fuck, this is so exciting! Mo Shen actually dares to play such a big game, isn't he afraid of failure?"
This is the first thought that came to my mind after reading the entire post.
It was this sentence that made everyone understand that this could not be a show, and it was impossible to cheat in this exam. Being strong or weak depends entirely on one's own strength.
Whether the trick is creative, the structure of the trick, the effect of the trick, etc. are all clear at a glance.
There was only a moment's pause, and the next moment the number of replies increased rapidly.
He kept saying "Wow" one thing after another, and from time to time he would mention the name of a magic trick.
"Fuck, that's awesome."
"Wife, come out and watch the show!"
"Upstairs, he just fell asleep."
"Fuck, that's a lot of information."
"Electricity: Create a spell that can generate electricity and output it stably."
"It's so exciting upstairs."
"Elemental Arrows: Can we use elements to make arrows? Archers are too bad. Not only are arrows expensive, but they are also consumables. The arrows will be crooked after a few hits.
It would be nice if someone could make arrows out of elements. They don't need any functions, just standard arrows that can be shot.
Ice, stone, wood, iron, anything that can be shot and remain accurate is fine."
"Lengthening spell: a spell that can lengthen hair. Um, make hair longer. Short hair is too ugly."
"Thickness-enhancing Technique: Can you make my iron rod thicker? The kind that can be used to hit someone and then return to its original size."
"Iron Palm Technique: Temporarily turns your hands into iron, making them extremely hard."
"Hair-washing spell: It's too troublesome for girls to wash their hair. Can you create a spell that can automatically wash and dry hair?"
"Laundry Technique: As above."
"Get ready. I'm going to perform a bathing technique: just as the name suggests."
"Nuclear Peace Technique: One that's peaceful."
"Growth Technique: The vegetables in my garden grow too slowly, is there anything I can do to speed up their growth?
If we can speed up the growth, we might be able to gather enough food for the poor before winter comes."
"Fertilization Technique: Adding fertilizer."
"Rain spell: It doesn't need to rain, just a shower effect is good enough, I just hope the coverage area can be as large as possible."
"Insect Killing Technique: Green Food, Start with Me."
"Tent pitching technique: Can you pitch a tent?"
Replies quickly filled the screen. Although these replies were just some magic tricks, Mo Lan could see that there was a demand for spells among the players.
Mo Lan recorded the tricks one by one. Looking at the names and details of each trick, Mo Lan suddenly felt that creating these tricks was greater and more meaningful than creating the nuclear bomb spell.
People's livelihood, the meaning of a mage should lie in this, perhaps this is the mage's way, and the meaning of nuclear bomb magic is to protect the way. Nuclear bomb magic is a magic to protect the way, which is indeed important, but it only exists because of people's livelihood.
Of course, these tricks would occasionally include a very extreme request, and Mo Lan's mouth twitched slightly when he saw it.
However, these do not affect Mo Lan's overall mood. These tricks require a lot of information behind them.
At the same time, the number of likes for some replies increased and they were quickly pushed to the forefront.
Thirty minutes are about to end...
