Chapter 106 – The Confrontation Begins

Less than twelve hours remained until the second-semester final exam. Most people had gone to rest, aiming to be at their best for the upcoming battle.

However, just as Lin Yuan was about to go to sleep, the familiar voice of Jiuchong Ring suddenly rang out in his mind:

"Main quest triggered: During the final exam, explore at least three types of terrains in 'Martial Arts Duel in XYZ'."

A look of astonishment flashed across Lin Yuan's face. He was so startled that he almost shot off the bed. "Huh? Terrains? Is the mission about replicating the map now?" he mumbled to himself.

"No." Jiuchong Ring's tone was calm, and then it said indifferently, "It's the topographic map."

"… Huh?"

That is to say, this time it was not about replicating the entire game map, but about analyzing the terrain structure data within the game.

In other words, if their team didn't play at least three matches during the final exam, they wouldn't be able to complete this quest!

"…"

Lin Yuan covered his face, speechless. Then he started calculating in his mind.

According to the school's arrangement, the final exam was in an elimination tournament mode. As long as they lost one match, they would be sent to the losers' bracket. If they lost again in the losers' bracket, they would be directly eliminated.

That is to say, they couldn't lose the first match. Otherwise, they would only play two matches, and the quest would fail!

"This is really exciting now…" Lin Yuan gave a bitter smile, feeling a bit helpless.

Initially, his strategy was to tackle the final exam in a calm, measured way. Now, the quest's demands were clear, he needed to keep winning, pushing deeper into the tournament.

Otherwise, the quest would fail!

"Alright, if we need to play three matches, we will." Lin Yuan rolled over, cleared his mind, and closed his eyes to sleep. After all, tomorrow would be the real test.

…

The Final Exam Officially Begins

The next morning, Lin Yuan and his group arrived at the school's large training ground.

This training ground, which could accommodate thousands of people, had been completely transformed into an examination battlefield today. A huge holographic projection hovered in the air, displaying the schedule in real time.

This exam was carried out in the form of class against class.

Lin Yuan belonged to Yunmeng Class. Their opponents in the exam were Tianshen Class. With five teams from each class, ten teams with a total of fifty students were gearing up for the competition.

And Lin Yuan and his team, as "Yunmeng Team 2", would face "Tianshen Team 2" in an hour.

Lin Yuan glanced at the projected battle schedule and took a deep breath. "Alright, the first match." The fight was about to start!

=====================

距离第二学期,期末考核仅剩不到十二个小时,大多数人都已经进入休息状态,以最好的状态迎接即将到来的对战.

然而,就在林远准备睡觉时,脑海里突然响起九重戒那熟悉的声:

"触发主线任务:在期末考核期间,探索"武侠决战XYZ"至少三种地形."

林远猛地一怔,差点从床上弹起来.

"哈?地形?这次是开始复制地图了?" 林远下意识地吐槽.

"不." 九重戒语气平静,随即淡淡道,"是地形图."

"...哈?"

也就是说,这次不是复制整个游戏地图,而是解析游戏内的地形结构数据.

换句话说,如果他们的队伍在期末考核期间不打满三场,就无法完成这个任务!

"..."

林远无语地捂住脸,心里默默计算了一下.

按照学校安排,期末考核是淘汰赛模式,只要他们输了一场,就会被丢去败者组,若败者组再输就直接淘汰.

也就是说,第一场不能输,不然就只打两场,任务就失败了!

"这下可真是刺激了..." 林远苦笑了一下,心里有些无奈.

他原本还想着以一个稳健的节奏应对期末考核,但现在好了,任务直接要求他必须全力往后赛程打,否则就会导致任务失败!

"行吧行吧,打三场就打三场." 林远翻了个身,调整了一下思路,闭上眼强迫自己睡觉.

毕竟,明天才是真正的考验.

...

期末考核正式开始

第二天清晨,林远一行人来到学校的大型训练场.

这座能容纳几千人的训练场,今日已被完全改造成考核战场.巨大的全息投影悬浮在空中,实时显示着赛程安排.

这次考核,是以班级对抗班级的方式进行.

林远所在的 "云梦班" 对抗 "天神班".

每个班级各有五支队伍,总计十队,共五十名学生接受考核.

而林远他们,作为 "云梦2队" ,他们将在一个小时后,对抗 "天神2队".

林远看着投影上的对战表,忍不住深吸了一口气.

"...行吧,第一场."

对抗,即将开始!
