Chapter 93 Preparations before the College Entrance Examination (Part ) (Please subscribe to the eighth update)

After rejecting the proposal, he continued to practice hard.

Two months later, he still couldn't find a suitable weapon on the campus network, so he had to give up the exchange on campus.

Directly register a new account on the Yuntai City trading platform, then put the equipment on the platform, set the inquiry standards, and go back to practice weapon skills.

However, this time, within less than ten minutes of putting it up, several people came to inquire about the price, and they directly intercepted the weapon attributes.

Chu Cheng glanced at the attributes of these pieces of equipment and immediately became interested.

Looking at the contacts, they all have the suffix of a certain chamber of commerce.

“You still have to find professionals when buying things!”

There aren't many rare epic equipment in the school, and it's hard to find a matching one, but these guilds all have more than one.

While he was distracted, two new inquiry messages appeared on the communication screen.

Chu Cheng did not hesitate on this aspect. He quickly browsed through all the screenshots of the quotation sheet and quickly selected an epic one-handed sword that was very compatible with the attributes of Frozen.

Frost Thorn (Epic/Dark Purple)
Equipment type: One-handed sword
Equipment requirements: Constitution 50, Strength 50
Basic Attack: 106 slash, 113 pierce.

Additional attribute: Strength +15
Additional attribute: Agility +15
Additional features: Frost, each attack adds 30 points of additional frost damage, and slows down movement speed by 30 points and attack speed by 30%, lasting for 3 seconds.

Skills/Active: Frost Thorn, launches a frost thorn to hit the target, reducing the target's movement speed and frost resistance by 100 points, and causing frost damage of 100% of the maximum attack per second, lasting 7 seconds, with a cooldown of 3 minutes.

Evaluation: The extreme cold force that pierces the bone marrow wraps around the sword.

When he saw this equipment, Chu Cheng chose it without hesitation.

The attributes are very powerful, with both deceleration and burst. Combined with freezing, the burst in an instant is quite exaggerated.

The bidder was from a chamber of commerce called Heng'an Trading Co., Ltd. Chu Cheng took a look at the chamber of commerce's qualifications and found that it was a time-honored brand with a history of more than 160 years.

"This is it."

After the deal was confirmed, the manager came to the school gate in person and the transaction was completed in less than half an hour, and the Frost Thorn was obtained.

When the two ice-attribute one-handed swords are combined, the crystal-clear swords have blue light flowing inside, which looks very beautiful.

With the weapons in hand, the preparations before the college entrance examination are basically completed.

Although there are still some minor flaws, such as equipment holes.

An epic one-handed sword could make up to six holes, but he had no money.

The first slot only costs 1 gold to make, the second slot requires 2 gold, the third slot requires 4 gold, the fourth slot requires 8 gold, and so on. The sixth slot requires 32 gold.

It costs a total of 63 gold to add six slots to a piece of equipment that has no slots.

It costs 6 gold to embed rare gems in all 18 holes, and a total of 81 gold.

But this is the case when everything succeeds every time. In fact, the success rate gets lower as you drill more holes. Once you fail, the upper limit of the drilling capacity of the equipment will be locked, and it will no longer be possible to open new holes.

It is like Frozen initially has 3 hole slots. If you fail to drill the fourth hole slot, it means that the upper limit of the number of holes drilled for this purple equipment will be reduced from 6 to 3, and the total value will be greatly reduced.

This is not just because there are 3 fewer slots, but because there are too few slots, it means that there is no way to embed enough magic runes to make rune words.

Weapons of epic quality are enough to be worth the high price of crafting a Rune Word.

The so-called rune words are composed of multiple different types of magic runes, which are embedded in the equipment slots in a specific way.

When all of these specific magic runes are embedded in a piece of equipment, a special chemical reaction will occur, condensing into a powerful power core called Rune Word, giving the equipment extremely powerful magical properties.

Let's put it this way, any piece of epic equipment embedded with a rune word that matches the equipment's attributes will instantly soar to a level that is not inferior to orange equipment.

If the rune words are embedded in the orange equipment.
Runewords also belong to the enchantment system and also require recipes, but the recipes for Runewords are extremely rare. Small factions don't have them, and even if they do, they can't keep them. Only the top factions have the recipes for Runewords.

There are no top forces in Yuntai City, so Yuntai City has no way of getting access to Rune Language. You can only wait to get into a higher education institution, where you will definitely find it.

So Chu Cheng is now only thinking about embedding some gems to increase attributes, and has not considered top-level enchantments such as Rune Words at all.

At this point, everything that can be prepared has been prepared, and the next step is to wait for the college entrance examination.

In one month, Chu Cheng had only one weapon skill, the staff, which was still at the entry level. All other new weapon skills had been upgraded to the proficient level.

When he came out of the training ground and turned on the communication, there were two new messages.

A blessing message from the family, sent in the name of the patriarch to all the members who are about to take the college entrance examination, sent to a group of people.

There is an additional message below the blessing message, which is the family’s routine funding.

As long as you can successfully enter a higher education institution, you will be awarded a subsidy of 10 gold coins.

If you can get into a top university, your family will reward you with a subsidy of 50 gold.

If you can get into a top university, your family will directly reward you with a subsidy of 100 gold.

Chu Cheng took a look and smiled knowingly.

Even though my stepfather was very stingy, the family was still okay, so this reward was quite generous.

Another one from the head teacher:

"The college entrance examination is about to begin. Gather in the classroom immediately and prepare to report your status!"

He quickly returned to the dormitory, took a quick shower and went out.

Still in Class 5 classroom, Chu Cheng returned to his seat and sat down. Soon Zhang Chunlei and others came back, greeted him and sat down.

Facing the most important juncture in their lives, they were in no mood to chat.

When the gathering time came, the head teacher Duan Yuqin pushed the door open, stood in front of the podium and said to them directly:
"There are still two days before the college entrance examination, but today and tomorrow you must report your status in advance, including level, attributes, and equipment. On the day of the college entrance examination, you will take the exam according to the reported status. You are not allowed to change equipment during the exam. If you are caught, you will be treated as cheating."

"Everyone follow me."

After saying that, he went out directly without caring whether any students were late.

Chu Cheng was surprised to find that there were only a dozen people in the class, and asked Zhang Hong curiously:

"Just these people? No waiting for the others?"

Zhang Hong shook his head and said:
"That's all. Others don't take the college entrance exam."

"why?"

Zhang Hong looked back at him in surprise and said
"Don't you know that not everyone has the ability to get into a higher education institution? If you feel that you don't have the ability, you can skip the college entrance examination and graduate directly into society."

"Isn't this too little?"

"That's a lot. It's already pretty good for an ordinary class like ours to have more than a dozen."

Reporting data is very simple. The school does not need to register his attribute data and equipment data. Instead, his current status will be recorded through a special magic circle and then transmitted to the College Entrance Examination Committee for backup.

We will test it again during the college entrance examination to confirm whether it matches.

Any non-compliance will be deemed as cheating and the qualification for the college entrance examination will be revoked.

Two hours later, Chu Cheng completed the backup and then waited for the college entrance examination to begin.
