Swallowing the Starry Sky for Billions of Years

Chapter 11 Screening

"Do you really have a golden beard? Don't drag you down because of us," Uncle Jack said anxiously, "It's best not to have anything to do with us anymore, otherwise the prince will also be angry with you."

Gunn said proudly: "If he doesn't look for me, I will look for him. It's really shameful to harm us like this."

"Yes, uncle, just take a look. Gu En is very powerful now." Chen was also full of confidence.

sharp?

Uncle Jack is still very worried. No matter how powerful he is, can he be compared with the prince?
Gunn just grinned and said nothing more.

Among the crowd waiting to exchange for gold whiskers, four people suddenly walked straight towards the inner valley, immediately attracting everyone's attention.

However, with the soldiers of the empire maintaining order, they could only watch the four Gunns walk in.

A general with a red cross on his chest just glanced at them and said coldly: "Please bring out a sufficient number of golden whiskers, and we will check whether they are the golden whiskers on the golden whiskered mastiffs at the designated trial site. "

Gunn asked curiously: "Did someone take out the golden beard from the outside world?"

The general remained expressionless: "There are always people who have their own whims, and all methods are useless here."

Gunn nodded thoughtfully and took out sixty golden whiskers from his suit.

Fifteen sticks per person, there are sixty sticks in total here, enough for the four of them.

Someone immediately next to the general took out various instruments and began to detect the golden whiskers one by one. After five or six minutes, the general's expression softened slightly: "You can enter the inner valley. As for your two companions, if If you need to receive treatment, just enter the inner valley and send it to the passage on the right. As for the mount, someone will take over. If you refuse, please leave the inner valley, and we will treat you as a waiver."

Gunn glanced at the general gratefully before helping Uncle Jack, who was speechless with his mouth wide open, into the inner valley.

Before being sent into the passage, Uncle Jack reacted and couldn't help but ask: "Gu En, how did you do it? There are so many golden whiskers, even if Seti and I want to collect them all, it will be difficult. this……"

Gunn couldn't say. Along the way, Gunn was forced to use protective clothing many times. If it weren't for this protective suit that could withstand super-level masters, Gunn would never have been able to get here and still collect so much gold. Yes, but there is no need to tell Uncle Jack this.

Gunn just joked: "Uncle, I told you that I am very powerful, right?"

"Amazing, really amazing," Uncle Jack was full of praise. He walked to the door of the passage and bowed solemnly and with difficulty, "Thank you very much, Gunn. If it weren't for you..."

Uncle Jack's eyes were a little wet. He quickly turned his head to wipe away the tears and said with a smile: "The first time I saw you, boy, I knew you were not simple. I didn't expect that I would have to rely on you so soon. I won't say anymore. , I went in first."

Uncle Jack felt much more relaxed. He looked down at Seti, who was lying unconscious on the stretcher, with a hint of worry in his eyes: "I finally completed the trial, you must wake up in time!"

Seeing Uncle Jack and Seti being taken away, Gunn and Chen couldn't wait any longer. They handed over their mounts to the soldiers on the side and entered the real inner valley.

One white-roofed tent after another was erected on a flat ground in the valley. From inside the tents, bursts of aroma and the sounds of people making noises came out.

"Haha, another brother has passed the test." Just as Gunn and Chen were looking around, a young man with black hair and a bow came over, "My name is Keen, from Maple Leaf Town. Where are the two brothers from?"

"My name is Gunn, his is Chen, and we are from Shuangyue Town," Gunn answered truthfully.

Keen nodded, with a hint of envy in his eyes: "I heard that only in Double Moon Town can you see two moons. Tsk, that scene must be beautiful."

Gunn just smiled.

Keen continued: "You must have a lot of doubts in your heart. It doesn't matter. I will introduce it to you slowly."

Keen couldn't help but take the hands of the two of them and walk towards the tent.

"The warriors who can appear here have all passed the trial. Currently, including you, there are a total of 68 people," Keen explained.

"68? Doesn't that mean we are ranked 67th and 68th?" Gunn was a little anxious. He came to participate in the trial because he must have wanted to get a higher ranking and prove himself.

Keen shook his head: "If the first person to arrive at Stardew Valley is a lucky sixth-level warrior, do you think everyone will be convinced? I only know that after the trial is over, all those who passed the trial will still be there. There is a competition, so don’t worry. Before the trial is over, there will be food, drink, play, and practice in these tents. All white-roofed tents can be entered and exited at will. However, please note that the gold-roofed tents are What you can’t enter is the territory belonging to the three official organizations, and you are not allowed to enter without permission.”

Gunn thought about it and understood.

That's right. It would be too hasty to determine the ranking based on the order in which they arrived at Stardew Valley. Although the people who can arrive at Stardew Valley early are generally stronger than those who come later, the specific strength is different from the first batch. There is still some debate about which people in Stardew Valley are strong and which are weak.

"Don't fight, don't break into other people's resting tents. Before the competition starts, leaving the inner valley is regarded as giving up. That's the general rule. The rules here are still very loose. Just relax," Keane The way of peace. "Thank you, Keane," Gunn said politely.

Keane didn't care: "Actually, even if I don't do this, there are others who will. Everyone has passed the trial and made the decision. At least no matter where you go in the future, you can become an important member of the organization." Members, and after obtaining the extraordinary method, almost one out of every thirty will be able to break through to the super level, so they will deliberately make friends with each other. Later, people from private organizations may come to recruit you. Can you Don't be obsessed with it, just agree."

"Non-governmental organizations? Do official organizations allow them to recruit?" Gunn and Chen felt strange.

Keane smiled: "Why not?"

Seeing that Gu En and Chen were still confused, Keen had no choice but to explain: "Those who are able to come here must be arrogant and want to join the best forces and get the best extraordinary methods. So What if we let the demon hunters organize these civil societies to recruit people? Those who can be recruited at this stage are those who are mentally weak and not loyal enough. It is not a pity if such people are recruited. You know, Although almost every thirty people who pass the trial can break through to the ultra-level, but out of every five ultra-level experts, at least three belong to the three major forces. Don't be stupid. The price offered by civil society may be It’s tempting, but you must resist!”

"I understand, I really want to thank you very much, Keen," Gunn said solemnly.

Chen also expressed his gratitude.

Keen waved his hand, but the smile on his face became stronger: "Here, try this, this is the meat of the third-level ferocious beast Baoqi Rat. This ferocious beast is not high-level, but it is still very difficult to catch. Yes, the taste is even better.”

Keen picked up the barbecue from the grill next to him and shared it with Gunn and Chen.

Then, as Keen said, many people came up to talk to Gunn and Chen. There were also people from civil society who offered quite low conditions, but they were all rejected by Gunn and Chen.

A few days later, Jack and Seti finally recovered and came to the inner valley, once again thanking Gunn and Chen.

And time passed little by little.

The month-long trial finally ended, and at this time, there were only 360 people in the entire Stardew Valley. This number was far lower than Gunn's previous estimate.

But I understand what's going on.

The golden whiskers of the Golden Bearded Mastiff will not completely fall into the hands of those who need them. Sometimes two for you and one for me are difficult to get together at the last moment.

Not to mention that some golden whiskers may have been damaged or lost in the battle, because there are many dangers after leaving the golden whiskers gathering point. If they don't survive, they will be completely lost.

"Everyone, gather!"

A loud roar called everyone out of the tent, and they looked at the white-hatted general in the middle anxiously.

General White Hat has a powerful aura about him that is far more powerful than a ninth-level ferocious beast, making everyone understand that this is a super-level master!
Why are you here?
It is for the extraordinary method and breakthrough to the super level.

And when a living super-level master stood in front of everyone, everyone's eyes were blazing.

General White Hat was very used to such looks, and said in a loud voice: "A total of 9278 people participated in this trial, and in the end, only 168 of you successfully stood here. To be honest, I am very disappointed!
"Those who can complete the trial can't even do it? Although Tear Fountain City is the youngest among all the seven cities, it ranks at the bottom every year. This is simply a shame for all the people of Tear Fountain City. Do you also listen? However, the probability of participating in the trial and completing it is about [-]%, but every time, the people in Tears City cannot even achieve half of this number. I am really disappointed.

"What's ridiculous is that, just like this, there are still some of you who want to compete for the first place? Rely on what? Rely on your tongue! The probability of completing the trial in the capital every year is more than [-]%. The average value is completely pulled by you. It’s too low, but you’re actually still smug, huh.”

The words of General White Hat made many soldiers blush.

The Aoxing Empire is divided into seven provinces based on seven cities. Everyone is the most outstanding person in the province of Tears City. But now, they are humiliated by the general. Naturally, everyone is very angry.

Although I know this may be true, after all, General White Hat also said that the completion rate of the capital is more than [-]%, which is very convincing evidence.

"It's good to know that you are weak. Don't be afraid of being proud. I'm afraid that you can't even figure out your own abilities. So next, not everyone is qualified to go to the capital to compete for ranking. Only 35 of you are qualified to go to the capital. Compete for ranking, the others will be disbanded on the spot, and you can join whichever force you want to join." As soon as the white hat general finished speaking, everyone looked at each other with fighting spirit.

There are 35 places, only one out of ten people!
General White Hat continued: "First of all, our ranking decision this time is not a ring battle."

Everyone was stunned. It's not a ring station, so how to choose?
Is it possible to still draw lots?
"Have you seen this tree? Put on this bracelet, your strength will be suppressed to the level of the sixth level, and then use all your strength to exert force on this tree. If the power you emit is a If you are twice as strong as a sixth-level warrior for the first time, then the tree will have two branches to move. If it is three times, it will be three branches. According to past experience, the first fifty must be at least three times more."

Everyone looked at the huge tree behind the white hat general and the black bracelets placed next to it, and there was an uproar.

"Quiet! Either obey or leave. This system that has lasted for hundreds of years has selected a large number of super seeds. It has been proven correct by facts and time. Don't use pathetic insights to speculate on the capabilities of an empire. , Either obey and start what I say, or leave!"

The white hat general's face was full of ruthlessness.
