The gifts of fate may seem generous, but they often have a price secretly marked on them.
Maybe there really is love for no reason in the world, but most people, except their parents, have no chance to encounter it.
"...Sure enough, this is all a trap."
When Lu Ping'an completed a hunt on the road, he noticed that the intensity of the monsters had increased significantly, which was beyond the tolerance of the newcomer.
In his radar, alarms kept sounding, and the "super class" target had appeared too many times.
For him, the physical and mental exhaustion of the candidates who were forced into a corner was not a big problem, but the sudden rise in the difficulty curve had already crossed the line.
"...Why are there so many threats of excessive combat power? Is this really a test paper prepared for those young people?"
The answer is "yes" and "no".
"This is not only a test for those temporary licenses, but also a test for the young generation and potential combat power of Changping Prefecture..." In the command room, a strong person at the regular level said so.
Some things are far from being as simple as they appear.
With rules-level combat power, if the "Yu Weng" Huang Yushan at the top of Changping Prefecture personally chooses to "retire", will it cause a strategic adjustment of the entire "Abyss Defense Line"?
If we take the entire country and human society as the scale, we just need to drop one level of rules and add another level of rules.
No matter how much you pay, as long as you can maintain the stable development of society and the country, it is worth it.
Changping Prefecture is not rich, but it is not unable to obtain a second rule level, especially since the phenomenon of "rule level depreciation" is clearly occurring.
"...We need a war zone, a medium-intensity war zone where the new combat forces can make money and undergo trials, and where new people can hone their skills in life and death..."
This is the root of everything. It is demand that shapes reality, and change that promotes reform.
With the development of the times, even the ancient city has seen an obvious overflow of combat power. A large number of foreign experts above the law have even directly lowered the average hiring price of mid-to-high-end combat power.
And most of the time, this is not a good thing.
Just like the increasingly bad public security situation in the ancient city, if these "privileged people" and "superpowers" do not receive corresponding treatment, and if they cannot obtain a stable way of "exchanging combat power for resources/benefits", they will become social
Instable factors... To put it simply, professional mercenaries need to be fed by war.
This is understood from the negative factors. From the positive factors, future foreign exploration requires more reserve forces, and recruits need to be trained to become veterans suitable for foreign battlefields. This requires a medium-to-high-intensity foreign battlefield.
This is the origin of this "war rehearsal" in the name of "event" and "examination".
"... Are there any movements of the abyss lords? There should be two in the middle area, one is a seventh-level one..."
"Not yet, but it is only a matter of time before they realize something is wrong. Be prepared to intercept and never let them appear in the shallows."
"There are two more big demons above the level of law rushing from the seventh floor to the third floor... They are still waiting to see the situation, and they should rush into the shallow layer soon. Do they need to be intercepted?"
"Don't do it for now, let the new generation try it."
On the Changping Prefecture side, it was not just one or two people who were removed.
All this time, "Yu Weng" Huang Yushan has used his own power to firmly lock the shallow area, and any intruder will trigger his regular counterattack.
That means that unless it is an "Abyss Layer Lord" with the same level of combat power, whoever comes will die.
After several confrontations, the shallow exit to the human area became a meaningless place of death. "Yu Weng" Huang Yushan was like a big lock, tightly locking the door.
Now, he has removed the fields and rules that he has cultivated for decades... and re-laying them will not be a matter of time, it may take weeks or even months.
This is like a confrontation between two armies. One side suddenly withdrew its "fortress". It is not a simple matter to close this gap... The other side can take advantage of this moment to directly
Draw down your boundaries.
"I really don't know if abandoning the defense this time is a good thing..."
"Yu Weng" Huang Yushan watched all this happening from behind, feeling a little hesitant and uneasy.
To remove the "fortress", it is natural to invest more troops. To restore a certain balance to the turbid battlefield, bloodshed and death are needed.
From now on, there is no stable and solid defense line here, but a new medium-intensity battlefield with continuous bleeding, which is used to train mid-to-high-level combat forces and allow novices to grow quickly...
"...If they fail, we are still here. Although the first wave of counterattack is definitely the most dangerous, it is also an opportunity for them."
The spring that has been pressed to the limit suddenly releases, and the first rebound is often the most powerful. Then, more mid-to-high-end combat power is needed to fill the line and suppress the market.
This is also the reason why even though Changping City alone is enough, a large amount of resources and opportunities must be used to invite those "examiners" and "examiners".
Those law and order professionals are the real backbone and high-quality combat power of each city. At the same time, they are also the trump card of each city's competition and constitute the core combat power.
Now the internal and external competition in each city has become fierce, but if these combat forces are really drawn into internal fighting...
"The massive battle losses caused by internal fighting, and the real hatred that follows, are absolutely unacceptable to human society."
There were a lot of grievances between cities, but they were still competition and grievances "among compatriots" rather than life-and-death hostility.
If you really drag them in and fight to the death, not only will the cities be unable to explain to each other, but they will also have no way to explain to the central government and other states... This fanning of hatred among the cities will not give you a place for crimes against humanity.
Shoot?
Therefore, this time, heavy rewards were offered, including rule-level inheritance, taboo items, mantras, etc., to attract these order-level combat forces and become "examiners" and "examination accompaniments"...
..As the exam progresses, most ordinary candidates will be eliminated. If they do not withdraw, they will naturally become "candidates" themselves.
"...Let me go, these guys are really bad ass..."
The message that had just arrived on Lu Ping'an's contact watch explained the information.
[.....You can choose to leave after fulfilling your duties as an examiner, but you can also choose to represent the city where you are from and do better...]
At this moment, Lu Ping'an finally knew why he was given the task of "don't embarrass the ancient city".
The watch was sent when I came in, and the text message was not even sent through the power tower, but a pop-up announcement that was automatically triggered when the time came.
This is a competition, a preview, or it may just be an exercise... No one can guarantee what the residents of the abyss will do when "Yu Weng" Huang Yushan really withdraws his defenses.
In fact, the legal force of each city participating in this "invigilation" far exceeds the requirements for examination monitoring.
These powerful men of law cannot refuse the temptation of rule-level treasures, mantras, and secrets... You can get all this for free, who can refuse?
This is a sudden attack of "spot inspection", but at the same time, it is also a foreign battlefield full of opportunities and death.
"...This is much better than a real battlefield, and there are still people who tell the truth."
With rule-level experts watching, it is unlikely that a large area will die, and coupled with the temptation of a heavy reward, I am afraid that there will be no "invigilator" who would give up without hesitation.
This is exactly what happened. More than 80% of the legal professions chose to continue. At another entrance, there was a group of legal professions who had just learned the "truth" and entered the battlefield in the name of "examination room inspectors."
Lu Ping'an looked at the holy water bottle in his hand. It was actually the residue of Yu Weng's "Rain of the Realm". Only here could it have enough deterrence.
And with the complete demise of "Yu Weng" Huang Yushan's domain, those monsters will soon know that these "holy water" are gradually becoming a mere display, and from now on, there will be no so-called safe zones and safety valves here.
"...Why is this?! They want us dead?!"
And when Lu Ping'an just returned to the "team", someone screamed.
These ordinary candidates also received "text messages", and the content was quite similar to Lu Ping'an's.
"Are you kidding? If you want to get the qualification certificate, you have to survive in this hell battlefield? This is too much..."
Obviously, the organizer of the examination room was much more strict than expected.
Only newcomers who have survived this hellish battlefield will be allowed to go to the real alien hell.
