Elf: I asked you to take the college entrance examination, and you took out a modifier?

The man in sunglasses glanced at him and was stunned for a moment, as if he couldn't understand how this kid got himself into this state.

But soon, he spoke in a serious tone:

"The Phoenix Project is no joke. We want to select the most gifted and talented young people."

"Also, don't interrupt me when I'm speaking, or it will lower your performance rating for the rest of the time."

Upon hearing this, Cockscomb Hair stopped talking immediately.

Seeing him quiet down, the man in sunglasses nodded with satisfaction and continued:

"For this preliminary round, all contestants need to enter the four-star secret realm - the Empty Valley, and survive until this time tomorrow."

After hearing these words, the other seven people present were all visibly shocked.

The minimum entry qualification for a four-star secret realm is the museum owner level.

Although they all possessed the strength of a gym owner or above, they had never entered such a high-level secret realm.

In a secret realm like this, gym owner-level Pokémon can be seen everywhere, and sometimes quasi-king or even king-level wild Pokémon will appear, so the risk factor is extremely high!

"Will this..the alliance guarantee our safety?"

A girl in a pale white skirt frowned and whispered.

She was born into a large family and was the only daughter of the head of the family. No matter where she went, there were people who carefully protected her.

Now that I suddenly have to step into a dangerous situation alone, it is naturally a little hard to accept for a while.

"I repeat, the Phoenix Project requires young people with top talent and character. If you are afraid, you can withdraw from the review now."

The man in sunglasses shrugged and spoke bluntly.

"Before entering the secret realm, everyone must sign a life and death agreement. If anything happens in the secret realm, the alliance will not be responsible. This is voluntary."

"So, anyone want to quit now?"

The man in sunglasses said this, quickly scanning the people below.

Although everyone's expressions changed slightly after hearing this, some frowned, some clenched their fists, but no one intended to give up.

"Very good, then I will continue to explain the rules."

"Within these 24 hours, everyone needs to collect various resources in the secret realm and finally carry them out of the secret realm."

"We will rate you based on the value of the resources you ultimately bring."

"In addition, your performance in the secret realm will also be under our real-time monitoring, and the performance score will also account for a part of the total score."

"Finally, there is only one restriction - players cannot interfere with or attack each other, otherwise they will be disqualified immediately."

"In five minutes, a staff member will lead you to the secret wormhole. At that time, you must hand in everything except the Poké Ball. Those who violate the rules will be disqualified."

After explaining the rules, the man in sunglasses turned and left.

There was a burst of discussion in the VIP lounge.

"That's a four-star secret realm. If something happens to us in there, the alliance won't really ignore us, right?"

"The agreement has been signed. It's hard to say..."

"Spending one night in a secret realm with only a Poké Ball...isn't this test a bit too difficult?"

..

Entering the four-star secret realm is undoubtedly a huge challenge for them.

Not to mention, you have to spend the night in a dangerous secret place without any survival items...

If their families had not repeatedly reminded them of the importance of qualifying for this program, a large number of them would never have taken such a risk.

However, Yun Xiao was leaning back in his chair at this moment, appearing very calm.

Before setting off, he had guessed the content of this preliminary trial.

Now it seems that his guess was almost right.

He had already experienced surviving in a secret realm once when school started.

Although the "fake secret realm" with no wild elves has now been transformed into a genuine four-star secret realm, Yun Xiao is no longer the same person he was back then.

Not to mention that the King of Leave is now definitely capable of fighting against a quasi-king-level elf. Even if a king-level elf really comes... there is still the power of super-defeat to back him up.

Not to mention that there is a prince of the sea sitting on his shoulder. Although his strength has not recovered much, he is still a champion-level phantom elf after all...

Therefore, he was not worried at all about the safety of this trip.

Yun Xiao seemed to remember something, so he took out his cell phone and opened the bounty hunter's website.

Now that you're here, you might as well take on some tasks along the way.

...

five minutes later.

In front of a huge vortex that was emitting deep purple light and constantly rotating, the eight people taking the test signed their names on the agreement.

At this moment, they were already standing in front of the wormhole leading to the secret realm.

Unlike the ordinary entrance to the secret realm, after entering the secret realm through the wormhole, you will appear at a random place within the secret realm.

If you want to return to the wormhole, there are two ways.

First, after staying in the secret realm for twenty-four hours, you will be automatically teleported out of the secret realm.

The second is to find the wormholes that appear randomly in various places in the secret realm and enter them.

Since random wormholes are extremely difficult to find, trainers who enter the secret realm through the secret realm center base will generally be prepared to stay in the secret realm for a whole day.

And this time, Yun Xiao and the others are about to do the same thing.

After the agreement was signed, everyone received a micro machine from the man in sunglasses.

"This is a portable video camera that will record your actions in the secret realm. No matter what, you must ensure that it remains intact on you. Otherwise, you will be disqualified from the assessment."

The man in sunglasses introduced.

After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but carefully put the devices in their hands on their chests for fear of damaging them.

"Okay, open the wormhole, and I wish you all a safe journey."

The man in sunglasses took a step back, and the huge blue vortex began to roar at this moment, bursting out with dazzling blue light, sending all eight people into the secret realm.

Chapter 162: Empty Valley

The Kongling Valley is actually located in a small town in the northeast of China. It is a four-star large secret place.

The secret realm as a whole is composed of a huge mountain forest area and a wide valley, with a large number of grass, rock and water attribute elves living inside.

This secret realm is one of the few in China that is rich in various rare minerals. When it first appeared, the Alliance carried out large-scale development on it, and many of the mineral veins have been mined out.

However, there are still a large number of scattered ores in the secret realm, not to mention that as time goes by, the mineral veins in the secret realm are slowly regenerating, so there are still many trainers entering it every day.

They either seek to train themselves or to search for valuable minerals and resources.

At this moment, Yun Xiao and his group were teleported through the wormhole and appeared in a corner of the forest area of ​​the Kongling Valley.

The scenery around is beautiful, the air is fresh, and everything seems to be fine.

However, several people gathered together vigilantly, looking around at the situation.

This is a four-star secret realm. If they are not careful, they are likely to encounter danger or even die here. How can they dare not be careful?

After confirming that there were no elves around for the time being, the few of them seemed to relax a little.

But to be honest, even though the next goal was clear, everyone still seemed a little confused.

Not to mention finding valuable things in the secret realm, just surviving in it for a day is beyond their life experience...

"So, what do we do now?"

After a while, the girl in the red skirt spoke somewhat at a loss.

However, a tall and thin young man with a handsome appearance and wearing a windbreaker waved his hand and immediately said:

"I have an idea. How about we all act together next time?"

"The rules only say that we can't interfere with each other, but they don't say that we can't unite."

"In this high-star secret realm, only if we cooperate with each other can we ensure everyone's safety."

After this was said, everyone seemed to have no objection to it.

After all, for them, although this preliminary review is very important, the most important thing is their own life safety.

If we act together, even if we encounter danger in the future, we can deal with it together, and the danger will be much less.

At this moment, Cockscomb Head also stood up and spoke:

"I have no objection to going together, but here comes the problem. If we find some resources later, whose will they belong to?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the others all turned their eyes to the young man in the windbreaker, as if waiting for his answer.

The young man only thought for a moment and gave an answer.

"This is easy. Whoever finds it first owns it."

Everyone nodded when they heard this.

In this case...it makes sense and there is no problem.

Seeing that no one had any objection to this, the young man in the windbreaker smiled slightly and swept his eyes over everyone.

"Well, since we are going to cooperate with each other, why don't we briefly introduce ourselves first, so that it will be easier for us to move around in the secret realm."

As he was speaking, he was suddenly stunned.

"Huh? Are we...looking like we're missing someone?"

Upon hearing this, everyone counted the number of people and found that it was true - there were only seven of them left.

"It seems like the youngest guy is missing."

The girl in the short skirt was the first to discover the identity of the missing person.

"Him? Humph, forget it. He must have been so scared when we entered the secret realm just now that he ran away. Now he's probably hiding somewhere nearby, shivering."
