In Class 9 of Year 3 of G City's No. 1 High School, Ma Dongmei was reading out the rules of the mock exam.
"Other than our school, the students from the other three schools will be taking part in the mock exam, so the competition will be more intense."
"The location of the exam this time is the Rising Sun Secret Realm. The Rising Sun Secret Realm is a newly developed secret realm with rich resources. I hope that everyone will seize the opportunity."
Everyone's breathing quickened when they heard that.
They knew very well what a new secret realm meant.
The game had been around for a long time, and the resources on the Blue Planet had long been divided up.
The rest of them were either of little value or occupied by powerful monsters, with no development ability.
The appearance of a new secret realm often meant a huge blue ocean.
A secret realm was different from a dungeon.
Everything in an instance dungeon would be refreshed, but not in a secret realm.
A secret realm was equivalent to an independent space, with its own ecology and monsters species. After many years of accumulation, the resources here were far more abundant than the dungeon.
It could be said that the four schools had put in a lot of money to use a new secret realm as an examination venue.
Ma Dongmei continued. "The rules this time are very simple. After killing the monsters in the secret realm, they will drop a piece of equipment with the name 'Rising Sun'."
"Level 15 black-iron equipment can be exchanged for 1 point, bronze 3 points, silver 10 points, gold 30 points."
"Level 20 black-iron equipment can be exchanged for 5 points, 15 points for bronze, 50 points for silver, and 150 points for gold."
"And so on."
"The other materials also have specific exchange points. You can check them for yourselves."
"A special magic circle has been set up in the secret realm. The space that comes with the interface will be prohibited from being used. All items can only be stored in the special equipment that has been issued."
"The assessment will last for three days and two nights. A maximum of four people are allowed to form a team."
"As for the reward..."
Ma Dongmei paused for a moment. "The top 100 teams will receive a piece of silver equipment for their respective classes. The top 50 teams will receive gold equipment. The top 10 teams will receive platinum equipment."
"The top three teams are diamond."
"The first rank is epic!"
Epic equipment!
This time, everyone's expression was no longer as simple as shortness of breath.
Confusion, shock, and ecstasy... There was more than one.
In the past, even diamond equipment was rare, let alone epic equipment!
The school had really invested a lot this time!
What they didn't know was that the rewards arranged by the four schools were diamond equipment, and the epic equipment was added by the Sacred Glory Group last night.
It was to stir up someone's interest so that they could arrange for someone to kill him in the secret realm!
The secret realm was a dangerous place, and it was normal for people to die.
Even Wang Yu sighed. The school was really generous this time.
Seeing that all the students were excited, Ma Dongmei said, "I still want to remind you that safety is the priority."
"Staying alive is more important than anything else!"
It was obvious that not many of the students below who were in a daze heard her words.
She shook her head and did not try to persuade them.
Very quickly, the so-called examination qualifications were distributed.
It was a palm-sized piece of paper with strange patterns printed on it. There was also a ring.
The entrance ticket to the secret realm.
A storage ring.
[Name: Entrance Ticket to the Secret Realm (Rising Sun Secret Realm)]
[Grade: None]
[Class: --]
[Effect: After use, the user will be teleported to the Rising Sun Secret Realm. If the user tears it apart in the secret realm, they will return to the original place.]
[Name: Storage Ring]
[Grade: None]
[Class: --]
[Effect: There is a 3x3x3 cubic meter storage space inside.]
Time passed, and at 9 o'clock, Ma Dongmei's voice was heard.
"The exam, begin!"
As soon as she finished speaking, rays of light flashed, and the students in the classroom disappeared one by one.
"Old Wang, be careful!" Su Bai said.
"You too!" Wang Yu nodded and clicked to use the entrance ticket.
Wang Yu felt the world spinning around him. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a different place.
Under his feet were dense weeds that were about half the height of a person.
They were surrounded by towering trees with a diameter at least two people could wrap their arms around. The huge crown of the tree blocked the sunlight, and the sunlight passed through the gaps, leaving behind mottled shadows.
Birds flew across the sky from time to time, and there were faint roars of beasts in the distance. Occasionally, there were one or two roars of some huge creature. Even Wang Yu was a little shocked when he heard it.
Shua!
All of a sudden, a black shadow attacked Wang Yu from above!
Fortunately, Wang Yu had been on full alert the moment he entered the secret realm, so he was able to detect the attacker in time.
Wang Yu dodged to the side, his Ice Army Blade forming. He swung his arm at the black shadow, cutting it in half!
The black shadow was still alive. Even so, it still wanted to turn around and bite Wang Yu. How could Wang Yu give it the chance to do so? He shot two ice spears at the black shadow, completely freezing it into ice. It was as dead as dead could be.
Only then did Wang Yu see the black shadow that had ambushed him. It was a yellow-brown snake with a triangular head. Its camouflage color blended in with the environment cleverly, so Wang Yu did not notice it at first.
He cast an inspection skill over and the information about the yellow snake appeared before him.
[Xingyang Viper, Venomous, Level 15, Dead. ]
The moment he entered the secret realm, he had encountered an ordinary snake that was Level 15. It seemed that this secret realm's difficulty was extraordinary.
That's right, if the secret realm wasn't too difficult, it wouldn't have been used as the exam venue for the joint mock exam of the four schools.
Unfortunately, the Xingyang Viper did not drop any equipment after its death.
This test was a competition of who could hand in more equipment and resources. Although it seemed to be a competition of strength, it also had an element of luck.
Fortunately, Wang Yu's luck had always been good.
With a thought, a summoning array appeared beside him, and he released the little Azure Dragon.
Rou Rou was probably suffocated, as it circled Wang Yu the moment it came out.
Sensing Rou Rou's grievance, Wang Yu rubbed its head and said, "Alright, alright, I won't lock you up for so long in the future!"
Then, he took out a meatball and said, "Take a look at this!"
Wang Yu found that although the interface space had been disabled, the system space could still be used, which surprised him.
As soon as Rou Rou saw Wang Yu's braised meatball, its eyes couldn't take their eyes off it. They were filled with desire.
Rou Rou took the meatball from Wang Yu's hands and immediately hugged it to gnaw on it. As for its grievances and depression, it had long forgotten them completely.
'A child is a child, so easy to coax...' Wang Yu sighed.
After the meat was finished, the man and beast set off.
Since they entered the secret realm at random, Wang Yu had to see if he could meet up with Su Bai.
Wang Yu chose a tall tree and climbed it.
When he arrived at the crown of the tree, he finally had a general view of his surroundings.
He was standing on a flat land with a 100-meter-wide river flowing not far from the side. In the distance was a tall mountain covered in snow.
When Wang Yu wanted to take a closer look, Rou Rou poked him on the back of his waist with its little claws.
He looked over and saw a huge bird's nest hidden in the layers of tree crowns. Two pairs of golden eyes were staring at them.
"If I say we're just passing by, would you believe me?" Wang Yu's Adam's apple bobbed up and down.
