Dragon Raja's Number One Player

Chapter 150, let's start a game.

Shortly before the players took the 3E exam as newcomers, there was a heated discussion on the forums.

However, this forum is not the forum for "Dragon Raja: New World", but rather the internal forum of "Kassel College" in the game - "Night Watchman".

"The freshmen have all gone to take their exams, and the campus is suddenly much quieter. I'm not used to it."

Someone said this on the forum.

Many people commented below, expressing their agreement.

For some reason, the freshmen this year are exceptionally enthusiastic towards the older students.

They were even so attentive that they would come up to them with a smile from time to time and ask if they needed any help.

If they say there isn't, they'll be disappointed; if they say there is, the freshmen will happily get the job done.

To avoid discouraging new students, upperclassmen sometimes deliberately delegate tasks they could have done themselves to them.

For example, sending a letter to the dorm next door or buying breakfast from the cafeteria.

"Who do you think stands out among this year's freshmen?"

Someone asked, "This is one of the topics that is discussed every year. It was also the focus of this discussion when Caesar and Chu Zihang enrolled."

"Let me start with one, that kid named Lin Zhiying."

After he finished speaking, the forum fell silent, even though it had only been a few days since "Freedom Day" ended.

Many of the forum members were participants from that day. Being eliminated by a newcomer was not a glorious thing for these mixed-race people who valued honor.

"He didn't really do anything special. Although he did slay a dragon, no details have been leaked. Nobody knows the specifics. Maybe someone else did it and pinned the blame on him."

An account suddenly said something.

"Does nobody think that Lu Mingfei, the only S-rank student in this year's freshmen, is a rising star?"

Comparing combat strength has always been a popular topic, and the number of people watching the forum gradually increased, successfully leading to the intended topic. Fingel quietly put away his two alt accounts.

"But I heard that this S-rank is unable to develop 'spiritual vision'?"

A flood of comments immediately appeared under that sentence. Everyone had seen a video that Fingel had posted earlier, in which he talked about this matter.

"What are you all talking about? The 3E exam?"

Fingel said excitedly.

"How about we take this opportunity to open a small betting session, just for fun?"

No one else was surprised by Finger's words. During his time at the school, he had been involved in such events almost every year, which had become a tradition on the Kassel campus.

"What are we betting on?"

Someone asked.

"How about we bet on whether Lu Mingfei can pass the 3E exam smoothly?"

Fingel said, then answered himself with a trumpet to indicate his agreement.

A plate was immediately set up, attracting countless people who were still lurking on the forum.

The amounts on both sides of the scale increased rapidly, but compared to each other, the side that seemed more likely to result in Lu Mingfei failing the exam was still the larger one.

That's right!

He deliberately revealed that Lu Mingfei was unable to perform "spiritual vision" and then intentionally steered the discussion towards Lu Mingfei, all so that he could reap a huge profit later!

After all, who would have thought that they would be so clever as to leak the exam questions in advance?

However, he quickly noticed a very jarring comment below: "Why don't you try guessing Lin Zhiying?"

"You have been banned by the administrator."

Everyone knows that Lin Zhiying was someone who slew dragons even before entering the university.

It's at least a Level A privilege, and possibly even higher. It would be more appropriate to describe it as an A+ level that didn't exist before, or as a perfect Level A.

Fingel's goal is to make money. Since he is certain to pass the exam, wouldn't he, as the bookmaker, lose money?

However, the discussion about Lin Zhiying on the forum clearly exceeded his expectations. More and more people were discussing it, and some even questioned Fingel.

"Alright, I'll open a betting pool for Lin Zhiying too, but the requirements for him will be a bit higher."

Fingel replied.

The next moment, a brand new voting betting platform appeared on the forum, with the question: "Can Lin Zhiying pass the 3E exam and become an S-level student?"

Other students on the forum expressed their disdain for him upon seeing this.

"Pah! If you don't want to pay, just say so. S-rank? Since the school was founded, I don't think any student has ever achieved that score on the 3E exam!"

"Exactly, I think you're just a sore loser!"

"Forget all that, just tell me if I've opened the betting market or not. Here's what I'll do: I'll adjust the odds to 1:1000. If you bet on it and it actually passes, I'll pay out whatever amount you bet."

In front of the computer, Fingel typed that he himself was a genius!

This way, you can maintain your reputation without actually spending any money.

No matter how good Lin Zhiying is, he can't really become an S-level. To become an S-level, you have to answer several exam papers.

Although he said that, very few people actually participated in the betting, since in their view, becoming an S-class was basically impossible, so betting on it would be like giving money away to the scorer.

Only a handful of people put in small amounts of money, like 10 or 20 yuan.

Fingel whistled casually in his dorm room, with only 30 minutes left before the two roulette wheels closed completely.

Suddenly, a prompt made him sit up abruptly from his chair.

"Bet of 1,000 yuan on 'Cambridge Folding Knife' could make Lin Chih-ying an S-class athlete."

"The 'Night Watchman' bets five thousand dollars, and Lin Chih-ying could become an S-class athlete."

"The 'Dragon Speaker' has bet two thousand yuan."

This...this can't be right!

There is only one person on the entire campus with this ID, and his identity is the spiritual leader and principal of "Kassel College"—Angers.

Does he really trust Lin Zhiying that much?!

Moreover, the people below are all heavyweights.

The ID "Night Watcher" is the vice principal, who has the highest authority in the entire forum, while "Dragon Speaker" is his mentor, Professor Guderian.

Fortunately, the amount of money was not much, and he felt that Lin Zhiying had absolutely no chance of becoming an S-level.

He's just hesitating whether or not to accept this money, which is practically a free gift.

The next moment, the IDs "Dictator" and "Muramasa" entered almost simultaneously, placing bets of 5,000 yuan and 3,000 yuan respectively.

Their identities, needless to say, are Shi Kai, the president of the "Student Council," and Chu Zihang, the president of the "Lionheart Society."

No, I just did it casually, why is everyone guessing he can actually win?!

Fingel was somewhat surprised.

If someone has confidence in him, it might just be a coincidence, but so many prominent figures have confidence in Lin Zhiying's ability to pass the exam. Can this be explained by that reason alone?

"Fortunately, there's not much time left."

Fingel smiled bitterly, even if he really passed, Lu Mingfei's earnings would be enough to cover his losses, it would be nothing more than a drop in the ocean.

However, he overlooked one point: the student council and the Lionheart Club, as student organizations on campus, possessed a strong appeal.

Especially since there's still some time before the gambling operation shuts down, countless students browsing the forums have discovered this scene.

Am I seeing things? The principal, the vice-principal, even the professors, and even Caesar and Chu Zihang have all joined in?!

Why do they still believe that Lin Zhiying can become an S-level candidate through the 3E exam?

We have no choice but to suppress it now!

In many situations, the ability to convince others is itself a skill.

In their shock, they also realized that this was an opportunity!

Since so many people think it's a sure way to make money, then why not take advantage of it? So what are we waiting for? Buy!

So Fingel watched helplessly as the scales tipped more and more in favor of the side that "Lin Zhiying can become an S-class," until it tilted completely to the side like a seesaw.

And as the news spread in the group, more people opened the forum and joined this crazy betting frenzy!

Following the big shots is always a good idea; isn't that like picking up money?

"It's over, it's all over—"

Fingel muttered to himself, slumping weakly onto the table.

He had finally managed to make some money through swindling and cheating, and now he was about to lose it all in an instant.

On the screen, the curve for buying "Lin Chih-ying can become an S-class" is far ahead, reaching almost 95%.

According to Fingel himself, the original odds were 1:1000. Even as the number of participants increased and the odds gradually decreased, they only dropped from 1:1000 to 1:10.

In other words, if the other side bets one dollar, Fingel, as the bookmaker, has to pay out ten dollars!

While everyone was taking the 3E exam, the players were unaware of the commotion on the forum. If they had known, they would definitely have also commented on "Lin Zhiying can become an S-class".

It's not about believing, it's pure support. They want to prove that their players are no weaker than NPCs!

"Durian Fire" is intently watching the screen, ready to cast its hook at the right moment.

"Damn, how did I hook it crooked again? It's such a big rock."

He could clearly feel that the game was getting more and more difficult, but he still managed to pass the level in the end.

He looked at the leaderboard with a numb expression; it had become a routine for him.

"Lin Zhiying————"

"Durian Fire" didn't look at the time anymore because he knew it was meaningless; he was definitely faster than himself or anyone else.

The fourth level is Tetris, and the fifth level is Angry Birds. Many players were defeated on these two levels and quit.

They then discovered that the blackboard in the exam room had turned into a large screen visible only to the players, broadcasting the most exciting content from the players.

Originally, according to Xuanyu Company's design, the player should have been jumping between various players, but now, almost 99% of them...

For a period of time, this image remained on Lin Zhiying's screen.

"Before, you could say it was luck, but now it's really terrifying!"

Some players complained that they only realized how insane those levels were after they were eliminated, as both the speed and difficulty were much greater than the original version.

Starting from level 6, the difficulty of the trial increases dramatically again. Fruits and bombs are launched on the screen almost simultaneously, requiring skillful slicing to cut the fruits and score points without cutting the bombs.

By this point, almost 90% of players start to panic.

"boom————"

"Oh no, don't blow it up! It's blown up again, and we've lost our last chance!"

Players complained that they only had two chances, and after hiding for a long time, they lost them all in this level.

On the other large screen, Lin Zhiying's eyes were calm, as if everything was within his expectations.

His body flashed through the air, his blade like a silver lightning bolt, slicing apart nearby watermelons, bananas, and other fruits, splashing juice everywhere.

What's even more terrifying is that he precisely avoided all the approaching bombs.

On the screen, the combo numbers displayed on the side are rising rapidly: twenty hits, thirty hits, forty hits —

He managed to score even while dodging the bombs!

The players who were supposed to leave the exam room didn't; they stood there, staring blankly at the big screen watching Lin Zhiying.

They wanted to know where his limits really were.

"Is this really a speed that humans can achieve?"

One player refrained from speaking, saying, "This is too outrageous!"

"You're right, that's not the case."

"Lan Mengtian" spoke.

In this level, "Lan Mengtian" also failed and was eliminated. As a rich second-generation, he rarely played games before.

These games, which are familiar to others, were new to him. Reaching level 6 was already a very good achievement.

Taking into account the ranking and lineage weight, we can probably set the authority to around level B.

"Didn't you guys notice something was off in the game?"

In reality, Lin Zhiying's speed has already exceeded the limits of human beings, but the problem is that this is not reality, this is a game, "Dragon Raja: New World"!

Discussing rationality within a game is inherently unreasonable.

Although the use of Words of Power is prohibited in the academy, Elemental Affinity, as an attribute, still exists on the character panel.

These attributes also apply to these mini-games.

"Do you ever feel this way in games, suddenly realizing you're more agile in a certain area, like in 'Angry Birds,' where the birds you shoot are accompanied by flames?"

"That's true. I always seem to land critical hits or critical strikes. I used to think it was just good luck, but now I realize it's probably related to my elemental affinity."

"Durian Fire" nodded and agreed with him, as he did indeed have that feeling.

In order to prepare for the 3E exam, Lin Zhiying not only underwent various specialized training sessions, but also focused all his newly acquired knowledge on improving his mental affinity.

This level of spiritual affinity is almost at 60 points!

That's why he was able to react so quickly.

It was all thanks to his own hard work and effort.

In the video, Lin Zhiying successfully reached the seventh level. Players immediately recognized what it was: Temple Run.

Chasing after Lin Zhiying was a roaring dragon, its gaping maw pressed against his back.

Lin Zhiying could almost smell the stench emanating from those hideous teeth.

"It really does have dragon characteristics," Lin Zhiying thought, as he continued running towards the outside.

"Holy crap, isn't this road way too narrow?"

"What version is this? How come it can breathe fire?"

Players watching the screen outside the game began to speak up, saying that whenever they thought Lin Zhiying was about to give up, she would always surprise them, causing the air in the room to gradually fall silent.

In the final moment of the scene, Lin Zhiying had already crouched down and slid in, and then a huge rock rolled down from above his head, precisely hitting the dragon behind him.

[Successfully completed the game without taking damage! Perfect!]

The leaderboard scores have been refreshed once again, and unsurprisingly, Lin Zhiying holds the number one spot in all seven games!

"Huh, what's that?"

Lan Mengtian rubbed her eyes, wondering if she had seen things wrong.

He had just seen a World Tree pattern, which looked like a seat decoration, flashing briefly behind Lin Zhiying.

Now, looking at it again, the area around the World Tree seems to have gained some vitality?!
