One skill point per second, I turn fireballs into forbidden spells.

Chapter 63 National Top Scorer, Explosive Reward!
"Another perfect score?"

"Is Dongjiang the third perfect scorer this year?"

"Dongjiang is about to take off against all odds!"

Lin Yi also heard the discussions of many people who had come to accompany Li Yuanjing to the exam.

These are people's comments.

It made Li Yuanjing look radiant.

cool!

It makes me feel very proud in front of my peers across the country!

At the same time, Li Yuanjing whispered to Lin Yi, "There are two other people who got full marks in the first four rounds, just like you. The three of you are currently tied for first place."

Lin Yi wasn't too surprised.

Based on the strength he has demonstrated so far.

That's just the fourth-tier strength of an ordinary professional.

Beyond Dongjiang Province, and competing with the true geniuses of the entire Great Xia, Lin Yi didn't believe he was the only one with this level of strength.

However, it's unknown whether others achieved a perfect score through sheer hard work.

Because Lin Yi only needs to make a slight move.

That's already the pinnacle of provincial civil service exams.

"Lin Yi, let me introduce you. This is my son, Li Zerui." Li Yuanjing led Lin Yi and quickly found the other candidates from Dongjiang Province who had also come to participate in the exam.

"Zerui, come here and say hello to Lin Yi. After we enter the dungeon, you'll be a team. As is customary in previous years, the fifth round will not only award individual first place but also provincial team first place. If you get a good ranking, you'll get more rewards."

"This is a rare honor, and I hope you can cooperate with each other..."

Li Yuanjing hadn't finished speaking.

He was rudely interrupted by Li Zerui: "Who wants to team up with him?"

Li Yuanjing was taken aback.

He saw that his son's face was gloomy, and he clearly hated Lin Yi to the extreme.

Originally, Li Zerui didn't actually have such a big problem with Lin Yi.

In truth, the fault still lies with Li Yuanjing.

This time, he not only personally gave Lin Yi a reward, but also abandoned his own son and took the initiative to bring Lin Yi to the capital.

He left him and the others behind and came to the capital alone.

This disparity in treatment infuriated Li Zerui, who had long been pampered and accustomed to being the center of attention.

I'm really angry right now.

Naturally, he wouldn't be polite when speaking to Lin Yi.

Li Yuanjing frowned, wanting to say a few words of reprimand.

Unexpectedly, Lin Yi nodded first: "That's right, that's exactly what I was thinking."

"Uncle Li, I'm used to working alone and don't like teamwork, so I won't trouble them."

Seeing that Li Yuanjing wanted to say something more, Lin Yi quickly added a sentence.

It completely ruined the relationship.

Lin Yi had absolutely no interest in this kind of unnecessary socializing.

If you're not part of the so-called "genius ecosystem," forcing yourself to fit in will only make you look like a sycophant.

Why bother.

Li Zerui sneered: "Don't be too smug. So what if you got first place in the first four rounds? You're not going to pull out all your hidden tricks, are you?"

"Is it possible that we've all been holding back our cards, waiting until this round to use them?"

Lin Yi believed this statement.

Because it's within the field of vision of the [All-Seeing Eye].

When he saw Li Zerui, Qi Xiaying and others, he realized that they possessed the highest level of skills, and it wouldn't be difficult for them to achieve good results in the first four rounds, at least much better than their current results.

But they all chose to hide.

After a moment's thought, Lin Yi understood why they did this.

With the backing of a prestigious family, especially since his parents are either the Deputy Director of the Education Bureau or high-ranking members of the Professionals' Union.

They definitely have far more intelligence than we do.

However, Li Yuanjing would never tell him these real "insider information".

The footage from the first four rounds of testing is likely available to all provinces across the country, so there are no secrets. Given the inherent competition, the fifth round of testing will undoubtedly involve these top ten talents from each of the three hundred-plus provinces battling it out.

Therefore, it is perfectly reasonable to keep a few cards in reserve and use them in this round.

After figuring this out, Lin Yi felt a little relieved.

A trump card?
He has countless trump cards in his hands that he hasn't even had a chance to use yet!

"Jingle Bell--"

A quick ringing sound rang.

Instantly, all conversations and discussions in the entire underground space ceased.

Because everyone knows that this means the exam is about to begin!
Lin Yi's eyes narrowed.

Look towards the center of the field.

From the perspective of the "All-Knowing Eye," only he could see that seven or eight people wearing black uniforms from a certain department of the Great Xia suddenly appeared.

The leader exuded an extremely imposing aura.

His face was resolute, and two ugly claw marks on the corner of his eye and the side of his face made him look cold and ferocious.

She seemed to have noticed Lin Yi's gaze.

He also cast a glance at Lin Yi.

Even Lin Yi could sense his menacing aura.

He must have taken many lives.

"Boss, I didn't expect that there would be someone among this year's candidates who could detect us in advance."

Li Qianye gave his subordinate a shushing look.

Then, the invisibility status was simultaneously deactivated.

Then, Li Qianye announced to all the candidates, "Candidates from all provinces, please remain silent."

"I am Li Qianye, the chief examiner for your fifth round of examinations."

"Before announcing the rules for this round of examinations, as is customary, I will present the awards for the top three individuals and groups nationwide this year."

As Li Qianye narrated, a holographic projection of a spirit crystal light screen appeared in the center of the venue.

Make sure everyone can see it.

The moment I saw the reward.

Lin Yi could clearly hear Li Zerui and the others around him, and even the sound of Li Yuanjing gasping for breath.

The first thing everyone checks is, of course, the reward for being first.

On the big screen, four rewards were clearly displayed!

"1. Great Xia Merit Points: 1000 points."

"2. Choose one Platinum-level set (permanently obtained)."

"3. Grade A Talent Crystal *1!"

"4. One exemption spot for the Trial Tower in the Great Xia Kingdom region!"

In addition to the optional Platinum-level weapon selection.

Lin Yi knew almost nothing about the other rewards.

However, judging from the reactions of Li Yuanjing and others, etc.

This reward is absolutely terrifying.

"Uncle Li, can you tell me what these rewards are for?" Lin Yi asked.

Li Yuanjing was somewhat regretful that he hadn't managed to improve the relationship between his son and Lin Yi.

However, he knew that Lin Yi was no ordinary person, and he couldn't let his son's attitude cause him to completely antagonize Lin Yi.

So he immediately explained to Lin Yi patiently, "You should know what a platinum-level equipment set is. In short, it's like the country has opened a back door for the top scorer in the country, directly rewarding him with a set of equipment that is most suitable for his profession."

"This is a legitimate and permanent acquisition."

"Then comes the Great Xia Merit Points."

"For professionals, this is something that only those who complete tasks issued by professional guilds of A-level or higher, or join the Great Xia Professional Alliance and make contributions, are qualified to receive!"

"Within our Great Xia territory, merit points are the highest level of exchangeable currency!"

"You might not have a very clear idea of ​​what I mean by that."

"Take the Breakthrough Spirit Crystal you chose earlier, for example. You can exchange it for one with just 50 merit points!"
