Chapter 65: Class Settlement and Selection Rewards
"This class has ended. The next class will be held in half a year. It is also related to the second thing that the instructor is about to announce."
Nie Yang paused for a moment to let the students prepare themselves mentally, and said in a deep voice:
"Perhaps some of you already know that in about eight or nine months, a wind of chaos will blow through the plane, and at that time, there is a possibility that a Scourge Lord will invade."
"In addition, after discussion with the academy leaders, in order to reduce the pressure and danger you will face at that time, in a few months, first-year apprentices under the academy's mentors will begin to enter this plane fragment to join the competition, in preparation for the natural disaster invasion in eight or nine months."
"For this, the academy will compensate you. Each of you will receive 100 points, and you can also exchange for some high-level items."
"in addition……"
At this point, Nie Yang paused for a moment before saying:
"Considering the risks this time and the lack of strength of some students, the academy allows you to close the Divine Domain after one year of its expansion. You can exit this plane fragment and head to other plane fragments before the wind of chaos blows."
"A year later, the Scourge Lord will invade. Your grades will be determined based on your performance in battle. In addition to the high rewards directly awarded by the academy, the top ten in the grade will also receive a special place in the academy's rewards, which is very precious."
The instructor didn't say much, and after saying this he left the auditorium, leaving everyone still pondering what the instructor had just said.
After a while, Cao Wenyuan stood up and walked in front of Li Qing. He also stood up. The two looked at each other for a while, and Cao Wenyuan forced a smile on his face:
"You are better than I expected, but there is still a long way to go. In seven or eight months, I will surpass you."
Li Qing shrugged:
"I am waiting."
Cao Wenyuan said nothing more and turned and left.
Then Zhang Jishan also stood up and left. When he came to Li Qing, he paused and said:
"How can I be absent from this kind of competition? Let's see the results at the end of the year."
Li Qing spread his hands, nothing to say.
The remaining apprentices looked at Li Qing with nothing special in their eyes except surprise. The gap in points and records was too huge, and they didn't dare to express their dissatisfaction openly like Zhang Jishan and Cao Wenyuan.
Even Chu Zhongzhong, who had an old grudge against him, sat there quietly and pretended to be deaf, not daring to provoke him.
Of course, this does not mean that they were all convinced. Most of them were just saying it but not really convinced. Especially Chu Zhongzhong and Gongsun Jin, they probably felt very angry.
Li Qing ignored them and left the auditorium and went to the tutor's study.
When he arrived, he saw Zhang Jishan opening the door and going out, and Cao Wenyuan pushing the door and going in. When Zhang Jishan saw Li Qing, he just nodded and passed by.
Ten minutes later, Cao Wenyuan pushed the door open, nodded once and left.
Li Qing pushed the door open and walked in. The tutor was sitting at the desk. Seeing him, he waved and asked him to sit down. He said:
"With the compensation from the academy, you have a total of 421 points, which can be exchanged for a lot of good things. There are several good things on the exchange list temporarily opened by the academy this time. You can take a look to see if you need them."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed. The light screen in front of Li Qing popped up and an exchange list appeared automatically.
Then his eyes automatically fell on the first exchange item, and he was immediately attracted by the number 300 behind it.
“So expensive!”
Then he looked at the name of the exchange item and was stunned.
Divine Domain Expansion Card: Activated in the core tower of the Divine Domain, expanding the area of the Divine Domain by 1 square kilometer.
"I go!"
One square kilometer refers to one kilometer in length and width, and the diameter of Li Qing’s current divine domain is only 120 meters, far less than one square kilometer.
"It's really good stuff, but..."
too expensive.
Li Qing looked directly at the second item and found that it was a heroic treasure called 'Lightning Horn', which also required 300 points to redeem.
Hero's Treasure: Lightning Horn.
Grade: Medium-quality rare item.
Equipment location: Miscellaneous.
Passive attribute: Movement speed of subordinate troops +10%.
Passive attribute: Every 15 seconds, a lightning bolt with power equivalent to that of a first-level spell is fired to attack enemies within a 30-meter radius around the hero. By default, the nearest and most powerful enemy is attacked first. The target can be selected manually, and the effect can be turned off and on manually.
Description: A treasure left behind from the ancient Storm Temple, containing the power of lightning.
"this……"
Li Qing was attracted at the first moment.
This thing is very powerful. After wearing it, it is equivalent to continuously obtaining a non-consumption ring of lightning to attack nearby enemies. It is very powerful whether in a melee or a one-on-one fight.
Although both the Lightning Horn and the Basilisk's Tongue are mid-grade rare treasures, the value of this Lightning Horn is definitely much higher than that of the Basilisk's Tongue.
"To be determined first."
Looking down, the third treasure is an extraordinary fire element summoning card that requires 200 points to redeem. After use, it summons an extraordinary super-large fire element, which will return to the void after 24 hours.
There is a mark under this exchange item with four small words "Academy Limited Time" written on it, which means that this summoning item belongs to the academy's exchange authority, and the instructor does not have it.
From this we can see that in order to allow them to better deal with natural disaster invasions, the academy has also relaxed restrictions and even took out extraordinary-level summoning cards, which the academy would not allow under normal circumstances.
Looking further down, there are multiple redemption items of 200 points, 150 points, and many 100 points.
These are all rare good stuff that are hard to come by at ordinary times, such as war beast eggs, bundles of magic scrolls below the third level, various divine domain building cards, terrain cards, advanced troop promotion cards, etc.
Now they are all in front of him, and he can redeem them as long as he has enough points.
But the problem is that he has limited points.
Although 421 points are a lot, it is still not enough.
He had to choose between the Divine Domain Expansion Card and the Lightning Horn. In an instant, he only had a hundred points left and couldn't choose other good things.
Li Qing's eyes fell on the two treasures in the front row and he fell into deep thought.
Seeing that he was in a dilemma, mentor Nie Yang said:
"It's actually a very easy choice. If you are lacking in personal strength right now, you can choose hero treasures. If you are not lacking in that, it is more useful to expand the divine domain."
"After all, hero treasures will be eliminated if you obtain better treasures in the future, but God's Domain Expansion is useful at any time and will never be a loss."
After listening to the instructor's words, Li Qing immediately decided the winner of the two tangled thoughts in his heart, and said:
"Then I'll choose the Divine Realm Expansion Card!"
Just like the mentor said, although the Lightning Horn is powerful, it is not a necessity for him.
To be honest, the equipment he had was a bit useless. After all, he was a lord and it was rare for him to go to the battlefield in person.
Just now it was just a momentary impulse when we first met. Now that I have calmed down and the impulse has subsided, I am not so eager anymore.
There were 121 points left to exchange for the Divine Domain Expansion Card. Li Qing did not exchange for anything else, but directly exchanged for 24 Imperial Elite Mo Daoist Promotion Cards at the price of 5 points per card.
Naturally, the more of these fifth-level top-level elite troops there are, the better.
It just so happens that there are still 5 direct promotion spots left. I will promote five of them first and gather 10 fifth-level elite Modao soldiers. Then the combat effectiveness will increase rapidly.
All 421 points were used up in almost an instant, and the remaining 1 point could not be exchanged for anything.
After the exchange was completed, the instructor handed the two cards to Li Qing and said to him:
"The academy's top management attaches great importance to this combined training and Chaos Wind invasion war, and has granted you far more authority than in previous years. Points will be awarded based on your performance and results, with no upper limit."
“Is there a cap?”
"Yes, there is no upper limit, one thousand points, two thousand points, as long as you have the ability to accumulate that much, I will give you that many items to exchange, including some top treasures that you have heard of, as long as you can earn them."
"oh!"
Li Qing shrugged and was not too excited.
Are you kidding? The Scourge Lord is invading. At that time, what we need to do is to defend ourselves with all our strength and survive. Who has the time and ideas to do anything else?
Li Qing did not stay in his mentor's castle for long and set off for return the next day.
A week later, he returned to his territory and immediately ordered the mobilization of the entire nation to begin cutting down trees around the castle on a large scale.
The expansion card of the Divine Domain is one square kilometer. When the Divine Domain is expanded, low wooden stakes and small stones on the ground can be directly covered, but tall trees and large stones cannot be covered and must be cleared first.
There was no rush for this. He first summoned five new recruits from the Empire, took out five promotion cards for the Empire's Elite Mo Dao Soldiers to unlock their promotion shackles, and then used the remaining five direct promotion cards to promote them to the complete Empire's Elite Mo Dao Soldiers in one go.
The next step was to wait. It would take more than a month to cut down all the trees. In addition, there were no simple alien races to conquer nearby, so there was nothing to do. Li Qinggou continued to study various theoretical courses related to magic pattern constructors remotely in the core tower of the divine realm.
Li Qing planned to wait until the divine domain expanded before expanding the castle and improving its defenses. He would then consider whether to go somewhere farther away, or directly take on a tough target like a snakeman city.
We can't really keep hiding until the wind of chaos blows over.
Calculated by size, the rewards from conquering a snakeman city are at least ten times that of conquering a town. In addition, there is a wizard tower in the city, and there must be extraordinary wizards. The overall rewards are at least fifteen times, which can definitely greatly enhance one's own strength.
But how to destroy a snake city...
Time passed, and unknowingly one day half a month later, Li Qing, who was studying plane geometry remotely in the tower, suddenly received a message from his instructor:
"The top three seats under the four-star mentor Lu Jun joined forces to capture a snakeman city."
Li Qing was stunned for a moment, and his first reaction was that he had seen it wrong.
After a few seconds he asked in surprise:
"The three of them joined forces to capture a snakeman city. This is impossible, right? I remember that the snakeman city had an extraordinary wizard and a wizard tower. How could they resist the attack of the wizard tower?"
To be honest, if the news had not come from his mentor, he would never have believed it was true.
What a joke! At this stage, how can they resist a wizard tower with an extraordinary wizard in charge? Not to mention the top three seats, even if all the apprentices under the name of mentor Lu Jun go together, they can't do it, even if the mentor himself goes, it will be difficult.
"How did they deal with the Mage Tower?"
Nie Yang replied:
"They didn't deal with the Mage Tower."
"To be precise, they only captured a half-collapsed city. The Mage Tower and the extraordinary archmage who was in charge were gone before they attacked."
"???"
"Before they attacked, the underground of the city was hollowed out by the underground race, and half of the city collapsed, including the mages in the center of the city. The TC city defenders and the underground race suffered heavy losses, and they took advantage of the situation."
"I go!"
Li Qing was speechless to have such luck.
Without the Mage Tower, most of the senior leaders were missing and most of the defenders were lost. With the combined efforts of the top three of a four-star mentor, they could indeed capture the snakeman city.
There is nothing to say except that they are very lucky.
However, there was one thing that quite puzzled him. Logically speaking, the Mage Tower should have the ability to monitor the surrounding underground veins. There was no reason why it could not detect that there were underground races digging holes underground.
Unless these snakeman wizard towers are scaled-down versions, or incomplete versions, they do not have this monitoring capability.
That remains to be seen.
But one thing is certain, the three of them made a lot of money.
A snakeman city. Even if it is divided among three people, the harvest will be unimaginable.
Just imagine how much they would gain from destroying five snake towns. It would definitely make their strength soar rapidly, and they would soon be far behind others.
Li Qing looked on with great envy.
But this situation cannot be replicated, and this kind of bargain only comes once in a century.
Less than half a day after Li Qing received the news from his mentor, the news spread. Communication between divine realms was convenient, and the news soon spread like wildfire. Almost all war lord apprentices and professional heroes in each divine realm knew about it.
There is so much envy and jealousy that I don’t know how many people would like to take their place.
This excitement did not affect Li Qing. He was envious for a while before he put his mind to it and continued studying.
However, in addition to studying, he is also starting to prepare for the next step.
First of all, he had to make money. Li Qingqing counted the resources on hand. Considering that he would not need the source quality for a while, he sold 30 points of source quality at one go, with a unified selling price of 1 million points, for a total of 30 million.
Then, through the Divine Domain Network, the entire network is looking for the dog-headed man corpse, regardless of level, the price is 100 yuan each.
And indicate how much is needed, there is no upper limit.
In addition, Li Qing contacted his instructor and asked him to order a large number of ogre monster cards.
Since we can't find monsters to level up for the time being, and can't attack the snakeman city, we can only rely on ourselves and spend money to buy them.
There are three specifications of Kobold monster cards: small cards containing 100 Kobolds, each priced at 100,000.
A medium-sized card containing 1,000 Kobolds costs 1 million each.
And a big card that costs 10,000 Kobolds each, 10 million each.
In other words, if you spend exactly 1,000 yuan to buy a living kobold, the value of its corpse is only one tenth of that.
Li Qing was not stingy and directly spent 20 million to order 20 medium cards with one thousand kobolds each, for a total of 20,000 kobolds.
The purpose is self-evident. In addition to training soldiers, the dog-headed man's corpse can condense the essence of pure flesh and soul, and can also refine the blood of dragons, achieving three goals in one go.
He was not going to hide forever, and was going to make a big move before the apprentices of the two five-star mentors entered the scene and before the wind of chaos blew over.
