Chapter 100 Passing the First Round of Assessment
This exam question is open-ended, which means you can express yourself freely. As long as you prepare the thawing agent, you will get corresponding points.

There are many recipes for thawing agents circulating in the world. Almost every breeder will improve the original thawing agents and create their own exclusive recipes, but the effects of the recipes vary.

A total of three hundred people took part in the first round of assessment, from which one hundred were selected to enter the next round.

The judges of the organizing committee are all mid-level breeders and pharmacists. Their research on thawing agents is much more profound than that of ordinary people.

They also worked in the Elf Hospital and were excellent Elf doctors.

The first round of assessment is mainly based on two points for scoring: one is the time to make the potion, and the other is the effect of thawing the potion.

Xia Mu also had the recipe for the thawing potion, so he got all the raw materials at the beginning of the game.

But he also took some extra ice fruit.

"Although the intelligence system doesn't specify how much ice fruit to add, the potion will be more effective."

"But according to the results of experiments during this period, the amount added is at least not less than 5%."

Ice fruit is a kind of tree fruit that increases the coldness in the body of ice-attribute elves.

After adding ice fruit, the thawing potion will be more effective. Is it trying to fight poison with poison?

principle
The big screen in the square was divided into three hundred small sections, each corresponding to a contestant.

The local TV station in Jiaying City is broadcasting the event simultaneously.

"Oh my, didn't the leader propose to capture a group of breeders before?"

“I feel like these people are a good fit.”

"Of course I can't pick the worst one, so let's set a standard. I'll choose one from the contestants who have entered the third round."

A red-haired woman wearing sunglasses was watching the competition in the audience. She seemed to have a list of all the contestants in her hand.

The leader had just issued the order to kidnap a group of unknown breeders when the Jilly Egg Cup began. Many outstanding breeders from the entire Jiaying City would participate.

It is really like searching for a needle in a haystack but finding it is easy to come by.

Just pick a few less sensitive breeders among them.

This will avoid arousing the vigilance of the Yanhuang region.

The Qilin Society is not as rampant as the underground forces in other regions. The Yanhuang Alliance has a total of four champions and cracks down on crimes very harshly.

Therefore, the Qilin Society could only hide in the ground like rats in the gutter, and dared not show its head at all.

They can only develop wildly underground, and now there is a champion and several kings in the organization.

However, the leader is currently very restrained and has not taken any action against the Yanhuang region.

However, the top leaders in the Yanhuang region were more or less aware of the existence of such an underground organization.

Considering that Qilin Society is relatively honest and well-behaved, they turned a blind eye.

The breeders watched as the students hurriedly prepared various freezing potions. In fact, the level of these contestants could be seen from the quality of the potions.

"This processing method is too rough. Even the fruit is not separated properly, and there are impurities in the liquid."

"That contestant is no match for him either. The potion has turned cloudy. Hasn't he noticed yet? If they continue with this mixture, they'll end up with a black potion. Are they trying to suffocate the elves?"

"There are still quite a few good ones in there. The processing techniques are quite skillful, and the purity of the medicine is very high. Even if I were to do it myself, I guess I can only achieve this level."

The judges were sitting in the judges' booth, commenting on the performance.

They have very strict requirements on medicines and do not allow any mistakes.

Xia Mu quickly prepared the proportions of the medicine, and after filtering the squeezed ice juice layer by layer, he dripped it into the medicine bottle.

The originally azure potion turned into ice blue after the ice juice was added. The top of the potion bottle even emitted an aurora-like light, which amazed Xia Mu.

[Advanced Thawing Potion: After adding Ice Fruit, the effect of the thawing potion is doubled.]

Xia Mu's action was soon discovered by other breeders. They didn't understand what Xia Mu had dropped into the freezing potion and why it suddenly changed color.

Normally the thawing potion is azure blue, but due to the different levels of configuration of each person, the color is slightly different.

It is said that the standard color of the thawing potion of the Pharmacists' Union is now cornflower blue. The potion that Xia Mu originally configured has reached this level. The judges don't know why Xia Mu added unnecessary details.

Maybe this is Xia Mu’s exclusive secret recipe?
Before getting the results, the judges did not make any comments without authorization, as they were afraid of being embarrassed.

At this time, Xia Mu pressed the end button.

He was the first to complete the preparation of the potion, and time stopped at twenty-four minutes and fifty-eight seconds.

This configuration time is considered very fast. Generally, it takes about 30 minutes to configure the thawing agent, and this is for an experienced person.

"It appears. The first contestant who has prepared the thawing potion has appeared."

"It's just that the color of this bottle of thawing potion is very different from the color of ordinary thawing potions."

"Will this contestant be favored by the judges?"

The host looked towards the judges' panel.

Jigglypuff carefully carried the tray and came to Miss Joy.

Miss Joy is a member of the Pharmacists' Union and is responsible for analyzing the ingredients of the thawing potion and evaluating its effectiveness.

After the evaluation results come out, this test report will be sent to the judges as a reference for the evaluation scores.

Although Miss Joy was curious about why the thawing agent turned ice blue, she still conducted testing and analysis strictly according to the standards.

The moment she took the thawing potion, her hand felt frozen.

The original thawing agent should be at room temperature. What kind of improvements did this contestant named Xia Mu make to make the thawing agent close to zero degrees Celsius?

Although Miss Joy had her doubts, she quickly completed the test.

When the machine spit out the test results, her pupils contracted sharply and her face looked extremely shocked.

"What is happening to Miss Joy? Is it because Xia Mu's level is too poor?"

"No, Xia Mu is a top student at Shenshan Middle School. He's as good as a junior pharmacist in preparing medicines. He would never make such a low-level mistake."

"And the thawing potion has been prepared many times at Shenshan Middle School. I've seen him prepare a very standard thawing potion."

The audience in the auditorium was talking about it.

When the judges saw the test report, they all showed expressions of disbelief.

"How is it possible that this ice-blue thawing potion is more effective than the standard one?"

"What on earth did contestant Xia Mu add just now?"

"This could potentially revolutionize the standard for thawing agents."

All the judges were shocked.

"No, the test report is one thing, but we still have to use the elves to test it eventually."

"Whether it's true or not, we can find out by conducting the elf test."

Half of the time passed quickly, and most of the people present had submitted the medicines they had prepared.

The analysis reports also fell into the hands of the judges.

However, after receiving the report, the judges did not give any scores because the final elf test was still needed.

At this moment, the judges clapped their hands, and a group of walking grasses jumped out, followed by several nymphs.

"Nura, use a light freezing wind on the walking grass, but don't damage it."

"Walking Grass, thank you for your trouble. We will arrange a month's supply of high-level energy blocks for you afterwards."

Miss Joy stepped forward.

Niula took a deep breath and her mouth bulged out.

Gusts of cold wind blew out of its mouth and fell on the walking grass.

The leaves of the walking grass were hung with strings of ice prisms, and the teeth were chattering.

At this moment, a judge took out the thawing potion prepared by Xia Mu.

He gestured for Zou Lucao to drink it.

"Regular thawing potions take at least ten minutes to take effect. Let's see how effective this thing is."

The judge muttered.

At this moment, a scream came from behind him. The judge looked down suddenly and found that Walking Grass had recovered.

Its leaves radiate an emerald green glow.

"Oh my god, it took less than a minute to thaw the walking grass. This is simply an epoch-making breakthrough."

Everyone was surprised.

Xia Mu didn't expect that adding ice fruit to the thawing potion would have such a good effect.

Because the characteristics of the ice fruit are to help ice elves increase their energy, no one would have thought that after adding the ice fruit, the thawing effect of the thawing potion would be even better.

The breeders were itching to find out what Xia Mu had added to the potion.

However, in accordance with professional ethics, they suppressed their thoughts and continued with the evaluation.

The scores came out very quickly, and the three hundred contestants were ranked from high to low.

The final results of the first round of competition are in the hands of the host.

Amidst everyone's anticipation, the host walked to the podium.

"Hello everyone, I'm the host. It's time for an exciting moment."

"That's right. This time we are announcing the shortlist. The ranking order will not be announced, but will be ranked by last name."

In order to protect the contestants, the rankings will not be announced in the first and second rounds, only the shortlisted list will be announced.

The final ranking will be announced only after the third round.

However, there will be bonus points for the first and second round rankings, and the sum of the scores of the three rounds will be the final result.

Not publishing the results not only protects the contestants, but also reduces the erosion of their self-confidence.

"Please look at the big screen." The host pointed to the big screen, and a large number of names suddenly appeared on the screen.

Because of his surname, Xia Mu was ranked at the back.

"Alright, contestants whose names are not on the screen, please leave the stage on your own. We will soon be moving on to the next round."

The host said this with a smile. Some people showed very unwilling expressions, but finally gritted their teeth and left.

There are many more frustrated people in the world.

"Next, the second round of assessment will begin soon."

"Thanks to the Pokémon Center and the Trainer's Guild for their support."

"This round, we'll test the healing elves."

"Both the Pokémon Center and the Trainer's Guild have a group of Pokémon that need treatment."

"We will randomly send elves to one hundred breeders, and each elf represents a certain number of points."

"The more healing elves you have, the greater the difficulty, and the more points you will get."

"We'll have a six-hour countdown to give everyone healing elves."

"The quantity and quality of the healing elves will be reviewed by the judging panel."

The host quickly announced the second round of test questions.

Just as Xia Mu thought, it was about the healing elves.

At this moment, a chain collision suddenly occurred somewhere in Jiaying City. A truck carrying elves to the Jiaying City Pet Association collided with another truck and exploded.

When Miss Joy received the notice, her face turned pale instantly.

She quickly reported the situation to the organizing committee and said she needed to return to the Pokémon Center immediately.

"Ms. Joy, I feel that in the current situation, it's impossible to put out a fire from afar."

"We are all intermediate breeders, and we have mastered some techniques and methods to heal Pokémon."

"Why don't we treat this accident as an assessment?"

"We'll do our best to rescue the seriously injured elves. Aren't the slightly injured elves good practice materials for the contestants?"

When the chairman of the jury said this, Miss Joy was stunned.

She thought about it and felt that what the chairman of the jury was right.

"But, have these contestants ever received emergency treatment?"

Miss Joy bit her lip and asked everyone.

"Ms. Joy, some abilities are not born to everyone. Hard work is the foundation of success."

"Some things require a lot of practice to accumulate experience."

"Please rest assured, if there are any seriously ill elves, we will take action first."

"Besides, with so many elves, I'm afraid even the elf center can't accommodate them all."

"Our venue has been specially modified to achieve a dust-free level."

The last two sentences from the chairman of the jury completely moved Miss Joy.

"Okay, I'll notify the Pokémon Center immediately and have the Pokémon transferred here."

"However, the injuries of these elves have not been assessed. How can we give them a score?"

"Does your organizing committee need to change the assessment method?"

Miss Joy asked, frowning.

"Ms. Joy, this is an internal matter within our organizing committee. Right now, we should focus on rescuing the elves instead of discussing how to conduct the assessment."

"Of course, we have also considered this on the organizing committee's side. We will give the elves a priority test report to determine the extent of their injuries. After the elves are healed, we will issue a new test report. We will use these two reports to give a comprehensive score."

"Ms. Joy, don't worry, there will be no unfairness or injustice on our part."

"We are mid-level breeders with strict professional ethics."
