Four hundred and fortieth chapters competition for medicinal materials (4)
Chapter 448 Final Screening (II)
Taking Level 6 potions as the assessment question may be very unfair to Level 5 apprentices. After all, they do not have the ability to configure Level 6 potions at all. If they want to pass, they may only pray to God to suddenly advance to the realm of a first-level alchemist...
However, Liu Zhe didn't think there was anything unfair about this. Isn't the purpose of the Empire's series of assessments to select the most capable alchemists? To put it bluntly, if the fifth-level apprentice wants to represent the Empire, it is simply a delusion. Even if he wants to, the Empire is not willing to embarrass this. Send an alchemist apprentice to participate in the competition, which is a shame for the Empire.
When Curlot announced the assessment content, the fifth-level apprentices on the field all showed a disheartened expression, and there were only a few exceptions of high fighting spirit. They also tried to challenge the sixth-level potion, and they all came to this place. Even if they lost, they had to lose thoroughly. After working hard, they would lose! It would be too embarrassing to lose without a fight!
Curlot had expected the reactions of those fifth-level apprentices. At this time, he did not say anything more and continued to explain the rules of the competition, saying: "The time limit for this game is two hours. During the game, all participants can receive medicinal materials from the competition personnel at any time. But please note that the more portions of medicinal materials you receive, the lower the score you will get... Just be quiet, you don't need to rush to ask questions. What I want to explain next is the scoring method of this game."
Seeing everyone's puzzled expression, Curlot stopped their question and said: "First of all, there are Level 6 potions. If the assessment question you choose is Level 6 potions, you can get 50 points by completing the configuration with one portion of medicinal materials, 40 points by completing the configuration with two portions of medicinal materials, and 30 points by completing the configuration with three portions of medicinal materials... If the consumed medicinal materials are more than three portions, they will be calculated in points. The drug score plus the quality score will be the final score, with the highest maximum of 60 points."
"Let's go, if the assessment question you choose is a Level 7 potion, then you can get 100 points by completing the configuration with one medicinal material, 90 points by completing the configuration with two medicinal materials, and 80 points by completing the configuration with three medicinal materials. If you have more than three medicinal materials, you will be calculated with 60 points. The drug score plus the quality score is the final score, with a maximum of 110 points."
Kurot fluently explained the scoring method. Obviously, this game is very beneficial to the second-level alchemist. As long as you can configure the seventh-level potion, you can still get 60 points even if you consume a large amount of medicinal materials. 60 points is already the highest score of the sixth-level potion!
In other words, no matter how hard a first-level alchemist works, it is impossible to have higher scores than the level seven potion configured by the second-level alchemist. The rules are simple, but they are also cruel. People with strong abilities stay, while those with poor abilities are ruthlessly eliminated.
"The assessment scroll will be issued now. I would like to remind you that once the assessment questions are specified, they cannot be replaced. Please consider them carefully before choosing. If they cannot be successfully configured within the limited time, they will be eliminated directly." After Kurot finished speaking, the contestants next to him walked out and headed towards the workbenches.
"..." Hearing Curlot's last words, Ship and Beiyin, two second-level alchemists, showed thoughts at the same time. Although they are second-level alchemists, they are not 100% sure that they can complete the preparation within two hours of limited time when facing the unknown seventh level potion. Once they fail, they will be eliminated directly!
Ship's face was stern and said to himself: "The danger of choosing a level 7 potion is too high, and it is very likely to fail. But if Beiyin successfully configures a level 7 potion, I will have no chance at all! With her personality, it is absolutely impossible to choose a level 6 potion conservatively..." Gripping his teeth, his eyes were fixed on Beiyin not far away. Seeing the other party's calm attitude, Ship couldn't help but be anxious.
Shipshi didn't know that when he was struggling, Beiyin was also worried about the same problem, but she did not express these emotions on her face, but hid it deep in her heart, unknown to others.
Level 6 potion, or Level 7 potion...
For Ship and Beiyin, this is a major decision that is life-and-death. At this time, the contestants who issued the assessment questions have gradually approached them, but they have not yet made a decision in their hearts.
"I chose Level 7 potion as the assessment question." On the other hand, Liu Zhe made a choice almost without thinking. For him, the pharmacy master, there is no difference in difficulty between Level 7 potion and Level 6 potion. At this moment, he naturally chose the side with a higher score.
Seeing Liu Zhe’s choice, the contestant was no longer surprised. For this young contestant who performed amazingly, he had long identified him as the champion.
The assessment scroll for the Level 7 potion was placed in front of Liu Zhe, and the contestant immediately said: "The amount of medicinal materials you took is related to the competition score, please decide at your own discretion."
"One portion is enough." Liu Zhe replied in seconds. Using his pharmacy master's methods, he would make it successful at once if he had confidence.
Even though he knew that Liu Zhe's ability was extraordinary, when he heard his extremely confident speech, the contestants were still a little surprised. Even though he was surprised, his movements were not slow at all. Soon he handed a space ring to Liu Zhe.
After doing everything, the contestants nodded slightly to Liu Zhe, and then they walked to the next workbench and continued his distribution work.
"I'll choose the seventh level potion." "In different places, the two voices spoke in unison. After thinking for a long time, Ship and Beiyin felt a stern heart. At the same time, they chose the seventh level potion as the assessment question. They both knew each other's personality very well. If they wanted to grab the last representative quota, they could only choose to give it a try!
Soon, all the contestants selected the assessment questions and obtained the corresponding number of medicinal materials. It is worth mentioning that most people only took one medicinal material at the beginning. After all, they can only get the medicinal materials during the competition time. There is no need to get too many at once. If you are lucky, you may succeed in one go. However, if you take three medicinal materials at the beginning, even if you use only one medicinal material to complete the configuration, you can only get the score of three medicinal materials.
When all the contestants returned to their side, Curlot immediately announced: "I announce now that the third game - start!"
