Lord: My troops can evolve indefinitely.

"Wasn't your response excellent too?"

After Luo Xuan and Lin Feng finished their battle, they also watched the replay of the battle, reviewing the match from a god-like perspective.

Therefore, Luo Xuan also realized that he had almost been defeated by Lin Feng's do-or-die choice.

"My two main units were still following behind your sentries, hoping to quietly make another small profit, but I didn't expect you to have already set your sights on me."

Luo Xuan was also somewhat frightened. If he had reacted a little slower, or if Azathoth had returned a little later, he would have lost.

The two chatted as they walked toward the cafeteria, finding many details that could be improved on each other.

Soon, after a short rest, it was afternoon.

Zhao Wenjie led everyone in the conference room to review the battle they had fought that morning.

Because it was the first time, Zhao Wenjie explained it in detail and also shared some coping strategies for facing certain difficulties, which impressed everyone.

After an afternoon of meetings, Luo Xuan felt he had gained a lot.

In the evenings, students learn about sand table simulations and territory building.

In addition, they also need to learn emergency response procedures for crises, and so on.

Compared to the straightforward and brutal fighting in the morning, the theoretical learning in the evening left everyone feeling overwhelmed.

Luo Xuan felt that he had listened to and learned a lot that night, but he couldn't explain exactly what he had learned.

During one of his breaks, Zhao Wenjie specifically sought out Luo Xuan to inquire about his lord-level talent.

After the day's battle ended, Luo Xuan knew that Zhao Wenjie would definitely ask him about his talent, so he had prepared his answer in advance.

Luo Xuan didn't come up with a complicated reason for bringing it along.

"I was thinking of keeping some backup plans and trump cards, so I didn't tell you everything. Actually, the effect of my Lord's talent is not just three races, but five races."

Luo Xuan looked at Zhao Wenjie with a serious expression, trying to convince him.

Zhao Wenjie looked at Luo Xuan for a long time, then chuckled softly, "Don't worry, I was just worried that there might be something wrong with your talent, so I just wanted to find out what was going on. Okay, that's all, you can go now."

Seeing that Zhao Wenjie didn't ask any further questions, Luo Xuan didn't think much of it either and turned to leave.

Watching Luo Xuan's departing figure, Zhao Wenjie's gaze became somewhat profound.

. . . . . .

And so, under Zhao Wenjie's training, Luo Xuan and the others spent three fulfilling days, and the time came for them to participate in the provincial assessment.

Early that morning, everyone gathered with Zhao Wenjie, boarded the bus, and then headed to the assessment location.

On a dedicated minibus, Zhao Wenjie sat in the front row, while Luo Xuan and five others sat scattered throughout the carriage.

"Everyone, double-check your game settings. Make sure there are no problems; this is no joke."

"If you're still a bit sleepy, you can take a nap on the bus to recharge. You'll have to put in your best effort when we get there."

Hearing Zhao Wenjie's words, everyone felt it was alright. They had been getting by like this for the past few days, and there wasn't much discomfort.

"Team Leader Zhao, tell us about the Provincial Department of Instrumentation and the situation of this assessment!"

Lin Mufeng spoke, and everyone else looked at Zhao Wenjie.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Wenjie did not refuse, and simply turned around to look at the six people in the carriage.

"Alright, since you all want to hear it, I'll tell you."

Afterwards, Zhao Wenjie put away his usual casualness when joking and became serious in his tone.

"The Provincial Liangyi Division is the central authority for managing game and player affairs in the entire Jiangnan region of the Great Xia Dynasty, and it is also the direct superior of our Suzhou Liangyi Division."

"The venue for this provincial examination is the trial center directly under the provincial department, which is even better than the one in Suzhou."

"It is said that this assessment will also use the latest technology, which can almost completely simulate the game world."

As Zhao Wenjie began his narration, the carriage fell silent. Everyone sat up straight and listened attentively to his story.

"I heard that more than 100 lords from various cities recommended to participate in this assessment, but there are only two slots for each rank of lord."

The atmosphere in the carriage froze as soon as Zhao Wenjie said this.

This means that even if they each achieve a top-three ranking in their respective tiers, some of them will still be eliminated.

Not to mention that there were also experts from other cities among them.

To stand out in such fierce competition is extremely difficult, no less so than becoming the top scorer in a provincial exam.

Seeing this, Zhao Wenjie knew he had achieved his goal, but he couldn't suppress them too harshly, so he changed the subject:

"It's okay if you don't get selected. Don't put too much pressure on yourselves, but don't underestimate your opponents either."

"Real combat relies on hard power. You need to be serious and careful, and give full play to your strength. Even if you lose, you can only admit that you are not as good as others. This is the part that I am most at ease with."

Seeing that the atmosphere had improved, Zhao Wenjie quickly changed the subject and began to explain the main parts of the assessment.

"As for handling sudden crises, that depends on your on-the-spot adaptability. I have already taught you what I need to teach you a few days ago. I will emphasize it one last time: no matter what situation you are facing, you must remain calm. If you are facing a dead end, then taking a gamble is also a good option."

After finishing his speech in one breath, Zhao Wenjie took a sip of water, giving everyone some time to digest it, before continuing:

"As for the sand table simulation, it's no longer the simple one-on-one mode we used in our previous training. I heard the province made some changes at the last minute." At this point, Zhao Wenjie's brow furrowed slightly.

"According to the information I received from Director Jiang, the province has upgraded the sand table simulation combined with AI data model. At that time, it won't just be you and your opponents, but also some NPCs who will come to disrupt things and seize resources."

"Therefore, the proportion of diplomacy and trade will increase significantly, and you will have to consider many more factors, which will be a considerable test for you."

"If we continue as before, focusing solely on developing and massing troops within our territory, we might suffer a great loss."

At this point, Zhao Wenjie glanced at Luo Xuan.

In the past few days of sand table simulation training, Luo Xuan has consistently performed well. However, Luo Xuan relies heavily on the ocean or waterways for development and still lacks experience in land-based operations and multi-party game theory.

Zhao Wenjie spoke at length, and everyone listened attentively, occasionally nodding slightly or asking questions.

"Do you have any more questions?" Zhao Wenjie asked while drinking water after he finished explaining the assessment content.

"Team Leader Zhao, do you have any information on the other contestants in this assessment? Or are there any individuals we need to pay special attention to?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Mufeng spoke up.
