Bab 19: The Freshmen Trial Has Officially Began
Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Ye Fei didn't expect Ling Xuewei to be of any use at all. He would be grateful if she didn't drag him down.
"Xiao Yi, what about you?"
Xiao Yi summoned his giant crystal scorpion and said, "Here, mine is a poison type... we've fought so many times. Don't you know how strong its defense is?"
Yes, he knew it too well.
It was even weaker than his nine-leaf sword grass.
"Don't you all have any other pet beasts?" Ye Fei continued to ask, unwilling to give up.
Qing Kui and Ling Xuewei did not.
Xiao Yi: "Do you think they are as powerful as you? To be able to take in two pets... We can't even train one..."
Qing Kui said in surprise, "Ye Fei, when did you take in a new one? Why didn't I know about it?!"
Ye Fei said, "I'll tell you about this later. Let's decide on a strategy first."
The three of them said in unison, "Yes, yes, yes. You tell us. We'll listen to you."
"..."
Ye Fei thought for a long time and really did not know how to decide on a strategy.
Four people, five pet beasts, two brittleskin controllers, three damage dealers, no tanks, no healers.
How were they supposed to play this?
"I don't think the combination of our skills is very reasonable... why don't we disband and regroup?" Ye Fei tried to suggest.
In any case, there were still quite a number of parties looking for people. If they split up, it would not be difficult for the four of them to find a new party.
In the end, all three other members kept objecting.
It did not matter whether they could clear the stage or not. In any case, they just wanted to cling onto Ye Fei's thigh and would not leave no matter what.
"Alright... then that's it. We'll fight wherever we go..."
Ye Fei could only accept the current situation.
After that, he confirmed with Qing Kui the condition of her little white tiger. In the end, he discovered that ever since she used drugs to suppress her lust, although the little white tiger was able to listen to orders, its combat strength was still much lower than before.
Its defensive ability probably could not compare to the Lunar Direwolf.
As for Xiao Yi's crystal giant scorpion, there was no need to mention it. It was not suited to be a tank at all.
Therefore, the one with the strongest defensive ability was actually the Lunar Direwolf.
Ye Fei was speechless.
The tank was his pet, the control was his pet, the damage would be dealt by his pet, the healer was hispet.
So, why did they have to form a team in the first place?
"The strategy is that I use the nine-leaf sword grass to control the enemy first, then Qing Kui, your White Tiger, and my Lunar Direwolf will attack together. Xiao Yi, your crystal giant scorpion will find an opportunity to release its poison."
Ling Xuewei was originally pretending to be cold and aloof, but after a while, she finally could not hold it in anymore and asked, "What about me? You didn't assign me any tasks."
"Oh, you just need to control it with my nine-leaf sword grass."
Ye Fei didn't count on her at all.
If the nine-leaf sword grass wasn't broken, her rose wouldn't be of any use at all.
If even the nine-leaf sword grass was broken, her rose still wouldn't be of any use at all.
Then, Ye Fei took out a large bag of healing potions and distributed them like candy.
"If your pets get injured, drink the healing mixture. Don't be stingy, there are plenty of these."
When the students from the other groups saw this, they came over with shocked expressions and asked, "What are you guys giving out? Pet potions?"
Ye Fei did not avoid it. "Yup, healing potions."
"F*ck! So much! How much did all these cost?"
"I don't know. I made it myself."
That student looked like he was struck by lightning and went back. He kept muttering, "I've lost, I've lost, I've lost..."
The others in the same group didn't know what was going on at first, but when they understood what was going on, they all had the same reaction.
When the other groups nearby saw the morale of their entire group suddenly collapse, they couldn't help but ask curiously, and then..
They also repeated, "We've lost..."
"What title of rookie king? Don't even think about it..."
The news spread like wings.
In the blink of an eye, everyone knew that among this batch of freshmen, there was a big shot who could refine potions and actually treated potions as candy.
There were even people who came to Ye Fei to buy the potion.
Ye Fei waved his hand --
"Not for sale!"
They were not even sure if they had enough, so how could they sell it to others?
Xiao Yi was more business-minded. He enthusiastically introduced Ye Fei's pet shop to every student who came to buy it, asking them to go to the shop to buy it.
After all, pet potions were a consumable item, and it needed to be continuously purchased.
Just like that, before the trial had even begun, Ye Fei and his pet shop had already become famous.
"I feel like I've come here to advertise," Ye Fei said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Xiao Yi said, "You need to advertise... when the time comes, remember to give me some dividends."
"That's for sure."
Ye Fei could already foresee that his pet shop would have lots of business for quite a long period of time in the future, and the pet potions would be in short supply.
Xiao Yi had helped him attract so many customers, so of course, he had to give a big red packet to express his gratitude.
Of course, this was all in the future. The most important thing at the moment was still the trial.
Very soon, all the students had formed teams, and the freshmen trial officially began.
The main door of the subdued beast tower slowly opened, and the roars of countless fierce beasts could be heard from inside. It was extremely terrifying.
Some of the weaker students were scared out of their wits before they even entered the door, so they immediately backed out.
In Ye Fei's group, Ling Xuewei was the only one who was scared.
However, she had already seen the previous years' trial videos in advance, so she was mentally prepared. She wasn't that scared that she didn't dare to enter the door.
She could even suppress her fear and act as a commentator.
"The first eight floors of the tower are divided into thirty separate cells. The fierce beasts sealed inside are different."
"The cell doors are all protected by special means. The fierce beasts can't come out, so we can't see inside from the outside."
"All the teams can freely choose the cells they want to challenge. As for what fierce beasts they will encounter, it's all up to luck."
"The cells at the bottom level are basically all relatively low-level fierce beasts. The higher you go, the harder it is to fight. However, there are occasional exceptions. In the past two years, there have been cases where high-level fierce beasts were kept in the cells at the bottom level."
Even though Ling Xuewei was so nervous that her voice was trembling, she still tried her best to explain the situation to Ye Fei and the others.
She also emphasized some points that needed to be paid attention to. "Everyone, during the battle, you must always pay attention to the situation of the pet beast. If they get injured, they must be treated promptly. Do not let the pets lose their ability to fight."
"Once a pet completely loses its ability to fight, the pet owner will immediately be regarded as eliminated. Even if the pet's ability to fight is restored through healing, it will not be able to continue the battle."
"So, you must pay attention. Do not get eliminated because of this!"
"There was a group like this in the last session. They had already fought to the upper echelons, but the healer among them was not paying attention to the pets. Their main damage dealer got eliminated, forcing the entire group to give up the challenge."
