Two days passed quickly. Apart from refining the essence and blood of the black evil unicorn and practicing the beast transformation technique, Lin Xiu had no other gains.
Today is the start of the second round of the Alchemist Conference. Without Susan's company, Lin Xiu came to Daming Square alone.
As usual, Daming Square was filled with people early, but this time it was different from the previous two times.
This time, most of the people are spectators, some are relatives and family members, and some are contestants who were eliminated in the previous two rounds. As for the contestants who are actually going to compete, there are very few.
The competition venue in the center of the square was no longer as crowded and noisy as in the past. The team of less than a thousand people seemed a little smaller compared to this wide space.
In the primary election, a group of people were eliminated. In the first round, a group of people were eliminated. Now there are less than a thousand people left.
Although the number of people is smaller, the quality has improved. Being able to successfully advance among thousands of people shows that they have better talents and stronger abilities than ordinary alchemists.
Lin Xiu came to the square, glanced around a few times, and walked directly into the competition venue without stopping.
First, he signed in. Lin Xiu went to the sign-in area to sign his name, and then received the number plate for the competition from there, as well as a booklet introducing the details of the competition.
Three hundred and sixty-five, Lin Xiu quickly found his location according to this number.
The medicine cauldron, the wooden table, the numbers, everything is the original setting, only the people have been changed.
After sitting down cross-legged, Lin Xiu patiently understood the specific rules of the second round.
In the second round, the situation is completely different from the previous round. This round of competition adopts a points system.
After the competition begins, each player will receive the same list of elixirs, ranging from the first to the fourth level.
Players can choose from a variety of elixirs to be refined from this list, and then receive the corresponding elixir recipes and spiritual materials to refine the elixirs. The player's score is determined by the final elixir refined. The medicine is calculated.
Each time you refine a first-grade low-level elixir, you will get one point, a first-grade mid-level elixir will get two points, a first-grade high-level elixir will get four points, and a second-level low-level elixir will get seven points...
For each level of elixir, the value points increase gradually. The competition time is uniformly five hours. After five hours, the competition ends and the results are calculated.
And if you fail to refine the elixir, your game will be terminated immediately, and the result will be the result you can get at this moment.
.....
Lin Xiu sat cross-legged on the ground, carefully understanding every detail of the game. His grasp of the details of the game was also a strength. It would be too embarrassing if something went wrong due to carelessness.
Like Lin Xiu, the other people who came to the venue early were all sitting cross-legged, holding the brochure and reading it carefully.
Outside the venue, there are still players from the competition, rushing here one after another, but the flow of people is no longer as scary as in the previous rounds.
As time went on, the stands were already full and crowded, and bursts of lively noises spread across the land.
The players on the playing field, perhaps also affected by the atmosphere in the stands, looked a little inexplicably nervous.
After all, it was a major event related to the development of their career as an alchemist. It was too important and they did not dare to slack off in the slightest.
At this time, the competition field was almost full of players. As the competition started, there were only a few medicine cauldrons on the field. It was still empty and no one came.
At first glance, you can tell that these people are big-hearted, and the Alchemist Conference treats them very easily, otherwise it would not be like this.
The tense atmosphere spread on the field. After the players understood all the precautions for the game, they had no patience to continue reading any booklets.
Lin Xiu, who was sitting in position 365, was similar to everyone else. After he understood the details of the game, he began to look at the whole place.
Know yourself and your enemy, and you can win a hundred battles. Lin Xiu will not be arrogant enough to think that with the strength of a third-grade alchemist, he can win the championship in the conference.
If that were the case, the Alchemist Conference would lose its original meaning. In this kind of competition, personal strength and the ability to control the overall situation may be the key factors for final victory.
Lin Xiu, who was temporarily free, began to look at everyone silently, and everyone was also looking at him silently.
After all, in the first two rounds of competition, Lin Xiu was so amazing that he was a dark horse and would always be the focus of people's expectations and attention.
But soon, everyone no longer paid attention to Lin Xiu, or it could be said that they no longer paid attention to him for the time being.
Why.
Because there is someone on the field who is more worthy of their attention.
Mo Shaogan, Yu Zhiyuan, Yuan Dong, Cai Die and Sheng Jizi, they all appeared on the stage one after another as if they had agreed, causing a wave of commotion in the audience.
Coming early means you are active, and coming late means you have status.
Looking at this group of geniuses who all appeared on stage, Lin Xiu was thinking about it in his heart.
Looking back at the previous appearance pattern of the players, it seems that those who appeared later were those who were very strong in the first few rounds.
The more powerful you are, the later you appear. Is this a silent pretense?
Such a question arose in Lin Xiu's mind, and at the same time he also realized that he was still too low-key.
He decided that in the next round of competition, he would be the last one to appear. After all, he would also be the first in the primary. When it came to pretending to compete, who would be more qualified than him.
When Lin Xiu had his own little Jiujiu in his heart, all the top ten contestants had already appeared on the stage.
After receiving the corresponding numbers, these people found their positions and continued their work.
With their presence, all the players seemed to be in place, waiting for the start bell to ring.
Not long after, another group of people appeared on the playing field, a group of people wearing gray shirts with job badges on their chests.
Invigilator.
The same clothes but different looks. The invigilators for today's competition are not the same ones from before.
The person taking the lead is no longer the short Supervisor Yuan. This time the Supervisor looks like an extremely strict supervisor.
Ever since he entered the field, he had been sullen, as if someone owed him two million crystal coins and hadn't paid back, not to mention how stinky he was.
"It seems that all proctors should look like this," Lin Xiu muttered in his heart as he looked at this creditor-like figure.
But Lin Xiu soon discovered the key to the problem.
When the group of people entered the venue, Lin Xiu finally couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
This team of nearly seventy or eighty people all wear special badges belonging to alchemists on their chests.
Lin Xiu took a quick glance and realized that none of these people's alchemist strength was lower than the second grade.
There are even several third-grade alchemists among them, and this is not the most surprising thing.
The most surprising thing is that the leader has four cauldrons carved on his chest.
