After exiting the virtual realm, Lin Ze opened his eyes and saw Guo Xinyi looking at him with admiration.
"Congratulations on winning the championship, Lin Ze."
Guo Xinyi congratulated with a smile.
"Thanks."
Lin Ze smiled slightly.
Winning the rookie tournament was expected, and he didn't feel too happy about it.
"Let's go meet the others."
"Um."
Guo Xinyi nodded heavily and followed Lin Ze out of the waiting room.
At the end of the competition, the participating students from each college walked out of the waiting room and gathered together in twos and threes to chat in low voices.
People who get satisfactory results are full of joy and elation.
People who are dissatisfied with their results look gloomy and depressed.
However, when Lin Ze appeared, everyone turned to look at him.
Awe, surprise, envy, jealousy... all kinds of looks.
The rookie championship is already attracting attention, not to mention that Lin Ze won the championship with an absolute difference in strength.
The amazing performance during this period shocked many people.
Naturally, it has attracted more attention than previous rookie competition champions.
On the way to the lounge, Lin Ze felt like he was a rare protected animal in a zoo, being watched by countless people.
Fortunately, I have experienced similar scenes many times before and my face has been tempered, so I was able to ignore it all the way.
Pushing open the door to the lounge and walking in, Lin Ze received a warm welcome from everyone as expected.
"That's awesome, Lin Ze!"
"As expected of you!"
"I knew you would definitely win the championship!"
"Now our college has gained a lot of prestige!"
"Congratulations, Junior Lin Ze."
Not only the first-year students, but also fourth-year students such as Deng Rou also expressed their congratulations to Lin Ze.
Even Liang Jun, who had a nasty relationship with Lin Ze before, was no exception.
"The total results of the rookie competition have been calculated, and our college won first place, all thanks to you!"
Gao Wenbai came over and patted Lin Ze heavily on the shoulder, his face full of relief.
"here you go!"
Lin Ze smiled and said, "It's all the result of everyone's hard work."
Although the rookie competition is a single-player competition, the final total score is calculated based on the ranking of everyone.
If he were the only one to win the championship, Ningjiang College would not be able to get first place anyway.
So this is not completely modest.
But others don't think much about it.
"Don't say that, your champion contributed the most points."
"Yes, you take the biggest credit for our academy's ability to win first place in the rookie competition."
"I'm only forty-five, and the points I contributed are far behind you."
Everyone spoke out one after another.
Seeing this, Lin Ze stopped being polite and agreed with a smile.
After chatting and laughing for a while, everyone left the lounge and returned to the hotel with their heads held high under the envious eyes of students from other colleges.
...
After having dinner with everyone, Lin Ze returned to the hotel room alone.
Sitting down on the sofa in the suite, he flipped his wrist, and two small, crystal-clear crystal stones appeared in his palm.
Looking at the crystal in his hand, Lin Ze's face flashed with joy.
As early as the moment the victory information appeared, a familiar reminder sounded in his mind as he wished.
【Achievement achieved!】
[College League·Rookie Competition Champion]: Win the championship in the annual College League Rookie Competition. If you achieve the achievement, you will receive 1,000 achievement points, Soul Crystal x1, and Strength Crystal x1 (achieved, rewards to be collected).
Just as he hoped, the achievement reward contained exactly the soul crystals he needed.
Without hesitation, Lin Ze immediately absorbed the soul crystal.
After the feeling of soul sublimation that made people sigh with relief, his soul strength had increased to 48 points.
The soul power also skyrocketed to 4800 points.
"There are still two points left to reach the qualitative change node of 50 points."
Lin Ze breathed a sigh of relief with joy.
Achievements in the same series have similar rewards.
Both the rookie game and the main game belong to the Academy League achievement series.
Since the achievement reward for the rookie champion includes soul crystals, the achievement reward is similar to the achievement reward for the main event champion.
Lin Ze's heart became hot when he thought that there was still a soul crystal waiting for him.
"As long as the soul strength can be increased to 49 points, even if no more soul crystals can be obtained, the remaining points can be made up by slowly increasing the star spirit gems."
"It's a pity that my current soul strength is too high, and the Star Spirit Gem improves too slowly. Within two or three months, I won't see any effect at all."
Lin Ze touched his chest.
He set the protoss gem into a necklace and always carried it around his neck.
After coming back to his senses, Lin Ze absorbed the body strengthening crystal together, and his physical strength increased to 28.2.
It was getting closer and closer to the 30 points he expected to reach the fifth level of body.
【Lin Ze】
[Physique 28.2/Soul 48.0]
[Grade: Silver]
[Soul power: 4800/4800]
[Soul Technique: Soul Guard (Level 6), Soul Arrow (Level 8), Soul Power Impact (Level 6), Nine Luminaries Binding (Level 1), Cross of Silence (Level 1)]
[Pet beasts: Ice Queen, Rock Divine Weapon, Stone-condensing Demonic Dragon (in his prime), Xi Angel]
[Achievement Points: 5166]
Looking at the achievement points column, Lin Ze's eyes flickered slightly.
More than 5,000 achievement points, which is the most achievement points he has accumulated since activating the system.
But it looks like a lot, but it actually consumes very quickly.
Xiaoxue, Messiah, Stone Demonic Dragon and Rock Divine Weapon, which one does not require more than a thousand achievement points to unlock new skills?
5166 achievement points only unlock three or four skills and are gone.
Not to mention there are soul skills to upgrade.
Lin Ze is now more and more aware of the convenience of high-level soul skills. When encountering lower-level opponents, there is no need to summon a pet beast at all, and he can solve them with just one soul skill.
With his current soul strength and soul skill attainments, he can basically kill a pet beast below the sixth level with a single soul arrow.
The sixth-level pet beast can last longer, but it can be easily defeated with just a few more soul arrows.
It takes a lot of effort to deal with the seventh-level pets and ferocious beasts.
As for the eighth-level pets and ferocious beasts, Lin Ze, who is in the middle and lower levels, is still capable of fighting, but it is more difficult to defeat them.
As for those at the high level of the eighth level and the peak of the eighth level, he was beyond his capabilities.
Of course, this is without using the hero's certificate.
Once the hero mode is turned on, all beings below the king level will have to stop in the face of that terrifying power.
After thinking for a moment, Lin Ze finally resisted the idea of using achievement points to upgrade his soul skills now.
Anyway, soul skills can be upgraded at any time, so there is no need to upgrade now.
It’s better to keep the achievement points temporarily for emergencies.
What if you need to unlock new skills for your pet next?
After everything was done, Lin Ze turned off the system panel, took a long breath, and looked out the window at the night.
