Chapter 202 The finals begin

Yang Shan felt that he had really found a treasure today.

Not to mention that he signed the contract with the number one alchemist in his previous life.

And a fourth-grade weapon refiner is also included?

You know, because of the plot of the original novel, it is also a secondary profession.

The popularity of secondary professions such as weapon refiner and formation master is far less than that of alchemist.

At this stage, even the top guilds give priority to supplying resources to alchemists.

Other secondary occupations have to stand back!

One can reach the fourth-grade weapon refiner at this stage.

And he is a "self-employed individual".

This would be absolutely impossible without some kind of adventure!

"My ancestors were blacksmiths, and the blacksmithing skill has been passed down. I didn't like it when I was young, but I liked it more and more after I turned 30. However, now I am old and can't lift it anymore, so my son suggested that I try it in Doupo."

"Later, in that Motie City, I entered a blacksmith shop and hammered for three months. Then a special opportunity was triggered. The owner of the blacksmith shop seemed to have come from Zhongzhou."

Yang Shan was puzzled.

With such an opportunity, why didn't Tie Yang have any fame in his previous life?

Yang Shan was cautious.

The contract with Tieyang also had a 73: split, but Yang Shan added a "company benefit".

A free disease testing contract worth 18,000 yuan!
This disease test is a project with clearly marked prices in all the top hospitals in China.

After the test, all diseases that have been recorded in the global medical industry at this stage can be detected!
"Mr. Tieyang, the age on your ID card is fifty-six. To be honest, this is a bit old, so I changed it to this as a company benefit for you."

In case Tieyang really has some difficult disease to treat, Yaoxi's future ability to make money will allow the old man to live the rest of his life in peace.

Yao Xi said very little throughout the whole process. She was like a curious baby, her eyes moving back and forth between Yang Shan and Tie Yang, taking a bite of dessert from time to time, thinking to herself:

"Grandpa is not as happy as I am when he chats with Dad. Well, Dad will be back during the Chinese New Year, and it will be a long time."

After dinner, Yang Shan, Tieyang and Yaoxi went to the Royal Square together.

The finals are about to begin!

"Little Yao Xi."

Yao Xi said in a childish voice:

"Uncle boss, is there anything I can do for you?"

Yang Shan: "Well, you don't have to call me boss, just call me uncle."

Yao Xi: "Grandpa said that we should be more respectful to the boss uncle, just like we treat our grandfather, and listen to what the boss uncle says."

Like treating grandpa?
Tieyang really knows how to teach!
Yang Shan: "Just call me uncle from now on, Yao Xi, I want to make a bet with you."

Yao Xi: "Bet?"

Yang Shan: "If you rank higher than me in this Alchemist Conference, I will give you a medicine cauldron."

Yao Xi: "Thank you, uncle. Xixi already has a small medicine cauldron!"

Yang Shan: “Pink.”

"Hoo ho!"

Yao Xi cheered immediately, put her left hand on her waist and pointed at Yang Shan with her right hand:

"Okay, uncle, it's a deal! I will definitely beat you!"

Sure enough, no little girl can resist the temptation of pink!
Looking at Yao Xi with a smile on her face, Tieyang felt that he had really found a good boss this time.

Perhaps, before Yao Xi turns 18, she won't have to worry about her life anymore.

Maybe Yaoxi's parents don't have to work outside all year round to earn money, and can only come back during the Chinese New Year.
Royal Square.

One hundred thousand spectators are already seated!

The ticket price is one dollar, everyone can afford it!
Tianyao Company will charge some harmless small charges on some small details.

Don't underestimate this dollar.

The experience of watching a game in person and watching a live broadcast is completely different.

There are "actors" arranged by Tianyao Company around!
Crazy rhythm!
It can definitely liven up the atmosphere on site!
So players are naturally happy to give.

And the most important thing is that the finals is indeed not a secret place.

But it doesn’t say that the viewing area can’t be a secret place!
There is one secret realm for 100,000 people. Just from this vote, Tianyao Company made a net profit of 100 million!

As the game time approaches, many players have already entered!
The "actor" NPCs scattered among the audience area have also begun their performances.

"Look over there! That's Liu Ling, the disciple of Dan King Gu He!"

"Wow, he's so handsome!"

"Zhuang Youqian, the number one alchemist in Xia Wang Mansion!"

"Hao Yunqi, the number one alchemist in the Tianhao League, is a fourth-grade alchemist!"

In the audience, Zhu Tianpeng got a loud speaker from somewhere and shouted at the top of his voice:
"Yaoyue Yaoyue, destroy everything!"

There are two thousand bluestone platforms in the competition area, but the core area has seventeen platforms, which are obviously two sizes larger.

Yaoyue was sitting on one of the core platforms. She heard Zhu Tianpeng's cheers and was a little flustered for a moment:
"This idiot makes me feel embarrassed."

Chao Bafang covered his ears and shouted:

"Old Zhu! Is this useful?"

Zhu Tianpeng: "I added a little more favorability, haha!"

"I rely on!"

Chao Bafang grabbed Zhu Tianpeng's loud speaker and shouted to Yao Ye, who was leading the royal guards on the sidelines:
"Princess Yaoye! You've worked hard. Do you want me to get you some water to moisten your throat?"

Yao Ye was startled:
"nerve."

Towards all directions: "Damn!"

Zhu Tianpeng: "What's wrong?"

Towards Bafang: "Favorability minus 1!"

Su Yitang on the side almost laughed to death:
"Banfang, you are so funny. Yaoyue and Yaoye are obviously not of the same type. It's useless for you to yell here."

Towards Bafang: "Miss Su, do you have any tricks?"

Su Yitong: "Yaoye is obviously a practical person. Don't say anything. Buy the sour plum soup from the system mall and give it to Yaoye, saying that you made it specially for her. Then keep silent and watch her take a sip and then leave!"

Zhu Tianpeng gave a thumbs up:

"It takes a girl to know how to control a girl!"

Three minutes countdown.

The participating players have basically arrived.

These two thousand players are the real elites of the Gama Empire!
At least you have to be a third-grade alchemist!
The fourth-grade alchemists were all placed in the central area.

Among them is Zhuang Youqian, the "king of refining medicine" from Xia Wang Mansion.

And the "most lucky person" Hao Yunqi.

However, there are still three vacancies in the core area.

Especially the largest bluestone platform in the center.

Even Liu Ling and Yao Yue are not qualified to sit on it!

at this time.

Xiao Aotian, dressed in black, entered the venue!
All the players participating in this competition were wearing the white robes of the Alchemist Guild.

Because this robe has special properties, when refining the elixir, your fortune will temporarily increase by 1 point!
Even Liu Ling and the little princess Yaoyue were wearing similar white clothes.

At this time, Xiao Aotian's black clothes were particularly eye-catching!
Like a drop of ink falling on a white paper.

Feeling everyone's eyes on him, Xiao Aotian felt his blood boiling!

"Here we come! This is my Xiao Aotian's stage!"

Xiao Aotian is like this, he always manages to make himself very passionate.

It’s just that his passion seems to have a hidden bonus. The more passionate he is, the better he performs!
Xiao Aotian tightened his black robe and walked forward step by step.

Although he didn't look intentionally, he could see from the corner of his eye that the gazes of the people around him were following him.

Keep moving to the back!

"Huh? Behind?"

Xiao Aotian found something wrong.

Do these people have more severe astigmatism?

Why are the eyes so far away?

"Yang Yidao! Yang Yidao is here!"

"Oh my god, who is that little girl next to him? Besides Yaoyue, is there another cute little girl like this among the contestants?"

The discussions coming from all around made Xiao Aotian couldn't help but look back.

That touch of red is more dazzling than gold!
Xiao Aotian had a question in his mind:
"Why isn't he wearing an alchemist's robe?"

But then he figured out the reason himself.

Yang Yidao is the only person who has triggered all server-wide announcements.

The conservative estimate of fortune is 20 points.

What does he care about a mere bit of good fortune?
So some famous people are often misunderstood for no reason.

The Flame Refining Robe on Yang Shan was specially prepared by Ya Fei. It can increase the standard success rate by 2%!

Isn't this dozens of times better than the alchemist's robe?
After Xiao Aotian answered his own questions, he quickly asked the next question:
"Who is that little girl? She looks so cute, could it be Zi Yan? But Zi Yan doesn't know how to make medicine, is she here for the competition? She looks younger than Yao Yue."

The answer Xiao Aotian figured out for this question is:
"Yang Yidao, this beast!"

Jealousy burned fiercely in Xiao Aotian's heart like the Golden Emperor's Burning Sky Flame.

Oh! Xiao Aotian doesn't know yet that the owner of the Golden Emperor Burning Sky Flame is also having a plot with Yang Shan!
As luck would have it, in such a highly anticipated occasion, the president of the Alchemist Guild, Fa Ma, who was at the top of the VIP stage, made a special statement:

"Everyone, the contestant who is qualified to sit on the bluestone platform in the center of this final is the only fifth-grade alchemist in this conference: Yang Shan!"

Xiao Aotian: “Fuck!”

The forum has been frantically discussing the progress of sub-professional players for some time now.

Even Bai Xiaosheng posted an analysis.

Judging from the current situation.

The highest level a player can reach is the fourth grade!
Now a fifth-grade alchemist suddenly appears!

Many players are actually very confused:
"What do you mean? Yang Yidao is a fifth-grade alchemist?"

"How can he be a fifth-grade alchemist?"

"Doesn't he sleep? Isn't he afraid of cirrhosis of the liver?"

"Impossible! No one can be so far ahead in level and still crush all the players in their secondary profession!"

"Vegetative! If he wasn't in a vegetative state and spent 24 hours a day playing games, I would be eating three pounds of black garlic on live broadcast!"

"Brother, is your forum ID called Binge Eating?"

"how do you know?"

"I'm still trying to stir up shit even though I'm covered in shit!"

Yang Shan didn't expect that he would be "hammered" by old man Fa Ma.

Yang Shan shook his head secretly:

"Just go ahead and hit me. It's not the first time they've been sour on me. I guess they're used to it."

"Uncle! Uncle!"

Yao Xi pulled Yang Shan's sleeve and whispered:

“Everyone is looking at us!”

Yang Shan smiled and said, "Let's go, the game will start soon."

"Okay! I want to beat the uncle! Pink medicine cauldron, pink!"

Yao Xi walked in a hopping manner.

Yang Shan quickly chased after him:

"Slow down, slow down, come with uncle."

When walking around Xiao Aotian, Yang Shan even nodded at Xiao Aotian in a friendly manner.

"He nodded to me? He still dares to nod to me?"

Xiao Aotian also returned Yang Shan's smile.

Although he is jealous, Xiao Aotian’s ability to adjust his mentality is unique.

Otherwise, in his previous life, he wouldn't have died more than a dozen times just to improve his favorability with Medusa and still be happy to do so.

“So what if it’s fifth grade? Is a fifth grade pill recipe so easy to make? How can an ordinary fifth grade pill be compared with my Soul Tempering and Body Nourishing Pill? At most, they are the same pills. The victory or defeat will depend on my technique!” The Soul Tempering and Body Nourishing Pill, a fourth grade pill with different attributes, is indeed more valuable than many fifth grade pills.

Xiao Aotian was cheering himself up crazily, and Xiao Mei was waving at him from the spectator seats.

"Xiao Mei! Watch carefully! I will definitely be the champion of this competition!"

Xiao Aotian walked quickly towards the competition area.

After the three of them took their seats, all the contestants arrived.

[Ding! Players, please note that the finals will begin in ten minutes. The finals rules have been sent to your system information bar, please read them carefully.]

The special rules set for the preliminary and semi-finals are actually to allow the contestants to adapt.

And this final is truly a competition of “two thousand people crossing a single-plank bridge”!
There are three levels in the finals.

Every level is a "personal ranking competition"!
The "level rewards" are based on the contestants' level rankings, which will increase the standard success rate of this alchemy!
The first place in each level will be given 20%.

Second place 15%, third place 10%.

Fourth to tenth, it is 8%.

From 11th to 20th, it is 6%.

20th to 40th, 4%.

40th to 100th, 2%.

After 100th place, it’s only 1%.

Therefore, if all three levels are ranked after 100, you can only get a standard success rate of 3% in total!

And if you get first place in all three levels, you can get the standard success rate of 60%!

Finally, Fa Ma will form a judging panel with the nine elders of the Alchemist Guild to make value judgments on the pills refined by the players.

The core of this final test includes:

Technology, development, recipe reserves, and luck!

There is only one chance to refine medicine.

Even for Yang Shan, a fifth-grade alchemist, if he fails, all will be in vain!

Theoretically, in this competition, there is still a possibility that all fourth-grade alchemists will fail in refining medicine, and the championship will be won by a third-grade alchemist.

Therefore, choosing which elixir to refine is also something that requires some thought!

Take Yang Shan for example. If he insisted on refining the Spiritual Essence Pill, even if he got first place in all three levels, the chance of success would not be 100%!

But Yang Shan had no intention of settling for the second best and refining other pills.

In his previous life, he was reduced to a spectator in the finals.

Since we have the opportunity this time, how can we retreat?
I really can't believe that my luck is always so bad!

Yang Shanlai had already offered incense to AI Nuwa and filled in the questionnaire with "very satisfied"!
Ten minutes later, Fa Ma shouted:

"The finals of the Jia Ma Empire Alchemist Conference begins now!"

The contestants still have two minutes to think about what kind of elixir to choose to refine.

Yang Shan had already taken out his Yunshuang Ding and arranged his medicinal herbs.

As the only fifth-grade alchemist in the entire venue, Yang Shan was naturally the player that the audience paid the most attention to.

Even many contestants were looking at Yang Shan.

Yaoyue and Liu Ling, the two NPCs participating in the finals, were also staring at Yang Shan's movements.

When they saw Yang Shan took six kinds of medicinal herbs at once, they both felt a sinking feeling in their hearts.

The more medicinal materials there are, the higher the quality of the pill will be.

Not only that, looking at the last magic core, Liu Ling almost bit her tongue.

"A fifth-level beast king magic core? He wants to refine a fifth-grade top-level elixir?"

There seemed to be more red bloodshot in the eyes of Xia Wangfu's Liver King Zhuang Youqian:

"Can't I beat him with eight livers?"

The most lucky person, Hao Yunqi:

"Fuck, a fifth-grade top-level pill recipe? How come his luck is better than mine?"

Xiao Aotian sneered in his heart:
"Okay, okay, a fifth-grade top-level elixir, right? I, Xiao Aotian, admire your courage, but you'd better succeed in refining it. Hehe, if you insist on pretending to be so great, God help me!"

Two minutes later, all contestants had chosen the elixir they wanted to refine.

Some people play it safe and choose the one with the highest probability.

But more players chose the elixir with the lowest success rate in their hands because of Yang Shan’s exaggerated medicinal materials.

Since we're all just running together, we might as well give it a try!
It would be fun if all the big guys failed!

Two thousand medicine cauldrons of various shapes began to ignite flames one after another.

The little princess Yaoyue and Liu Ling both used the third-order beast fire of the Thousand Beast King level.

The strength of the beast fire will also give you an advantage in the final level of competition!

The configurations of these two NPCs are actually not bad.

But compared with the top alchemist players in the entire server, there is still a clear gap.

For example, when King Xia of Xia’s Mansion was refining medicine for King Liver Zhuang You, he used the fourth-order beast fire of the King of Beasts level.

Xiao Aotian and Hao Yunqi, the luckiest person, activated the flames almost at the same time.

Xiao Aotian's flame is blue, while Hao Yunqi's is brown.

Both flames are at the fourth-order Thousand Beast King level!

Xiao Aotian and Hao Yunqi looked at each other, both of them were eager to fight.

Then, the two of them looked at Yang Shan tacitly.

The red snake flame that Yang Shan ignited was also at the fourth-order Thousand Beast King level.

But Xiao Aotian and Hao Yunqi both breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately it’s not level five!

At this moment, a touch of green attracted the attention of Xiao Aotian and Hao Yunqi.

Yao Xi, the little loli sitting on the bluestone platform next to Yang Shan, had an emerald green flame in her hand. The moment it appeared, the fourth-level beast fires of Yang Shan, Xiao Aotian and Hao Yunqi all shook slightly.

It is obvious that Yao Xi's beast fire is stronger!
Fifth level beast fire!

Yao Xi can only be online for eight hours a day, so she is bound to encounter many adventures.

The third-level medicine cauldron does not really match Yao Xi’s adventure.

But if there is a fifth-level beast fire, then it makes sense!

[Players please note, the first level of the finals begins! ]

Two thousand contestants entered the alchemy game.

Different than usual.

This time, two thousand people are in the same secret realm!

The mini games are:

Jelly Bean Doll!
Have you ever seen two thousand cute dolls with different looks going through levels together?

As the King of Alchemy in Xia Wang Mansion, Zhuang Youqian also experienced this kind of scene for the first time.

Zhuang Youqian looked to the left.

There was a long queue of runners in front of the starting line.

They all have big heads, fat bodies, short arms and legs!

However, Zhuang Youqian’s field of vision is much better than that of ordinary players!
Fourth-grade alchemist + fourth-grade beast fire + third-grade medicine cauldron.

Zhuang Youqian naturally gained benefits in the mini-game.

He will be a little slimmer, taller than the average competitor, and will run a little faster.

This is the advantage!
then
Zhuang Youqian looked to the right again.

"Whose belly is this? Wait! A belly?"

Zhuang Youqian's heart trembled and he slowly raised his head.

As far as the eye can see, there is a puppet wearing a bright red coat.

But why are this doll’s legs so long?
Zhuang Youqian felt that even if he jumped up, he might not be able to touch the other person's head!

Yang Shan seemed to have noticed Zhuang Youqian, but he had to lower his head to see Zhuang Youqian's face.

The sense of oppression brought by the height difference is at its maximum!
Zhuang Youqian sneered:
"Master Yang, what a coincidence."

Yang Shan: "Well, it's quite a coincidence. Xiaozhuang, keep up the good work. Brother Jin should be watching you."

Thinking of the boast he made in front of Jinshan, Zhuang Youqian almost cried:

"Okay, Master Yang, you should do your best too."

Fifth-grade alchemist + fourth-grade beast fire + fourth-grade medicine cauldron + great perfection soul power in the mortal realm.

The increase is undoubtedly the largest in the whole venue. Yang Shan’s legs are now longer than those of the male models on the catwalk!

Countdown:
3, 2, 1!

Game start!
Zhuang Youqian seized the last moment and finally adjusted his mindset:

"Being tall doesn't necessarily mean you can run fast. I have good skills, damn!"

Zhuang Youqian only felt a gust of wind blowing past, and Yang Shan had already jumped to the front.

The first obstacle is a high fence that players need to jump over. Some shorter players even have to use "jumping" or "backward jumping" to get through.

then
Yang Shan stretched his long legs straight, first crossing his left leg and then his right leg.

OK, passed!
"This is fucking cheating!"

It was indeed cheating, and it was the official who personally used the cheat for Yang Shan!

Zhuang Youqian’s mentality collapsed.

The obstacles in this first level are varied, including retractable ladders, lifting doors, see-saws, and rotating discs.

There’s even a “Guess What” game that tests your arithmetic and memory!
Nine-square grid, with ten seconds to display different numbers.

Addition, subtraction, multiplication and division problems will be displayed on the blackboard in front for twenty seconds.

To get the result, you also need to step on the block with the corresponding number.

If you make a mistake, you have to start over.

"Three plus five divided by five minus three plus eight times two minus twelve plus two times three. Ha, three times seven is twenty-seven. Can this stump me? What a joke!"

Then Yang Shan fell into the water.

I don’t know where this math illiterate person gets his confidence from.

Do it again!
The second time I finally succeeded.

Although it took a lot of time, Yang Shan has long legs!

completely fine.

After crossing two more levels, the finish line is just ahead.

Of course, there are three people in front of Yang Shan.

Xiao Aotian, Hao Yunqi, and Yao Xi!
Yao Xi noticed Yang Shan behind him and exclaimed:
"Wow! A tall and long-legged man!"

After saying that, Yao Xi ran faster.

Xiao Aotian and Hao Yunqi felt their scalps tingling when they saw Yang Shan running towards them with his long legs.

The three of them ran forward desperately as if they were being chased by a ghost.

But at this time, the innate advantages are reflected!

Yang Shan came from behind and surpassed Xiao Aotian and Hao Yunqi when there were still 20 meters to the finish line.

Ten meters before the finish line, he successfully surpassed Yao Xi.

Yao Xi yelled in a baby voice:

"Uncle, uncle, please wait for me."

"Xiao Yaoxi, try harder in the next level!"

After Yang Shan finished speaking, his foot had already crossed the finish line!
The audience cheered one after another.

Yang Shan proved one thing through practice:

The strong will not make mistakes.

But it doesn’t matter if you make a mistake!
