Wizard: Become stronger by drawing cards from the potions variety show

When Kara woke up again, she was outside the training area.

Unlike last time, this time I was really eliminated.

In order to repair the body, it must undergo a comprehensive examination outside the medical area to ensure that there are no hidden injuries.

The mission was a complete failure.

Before accepting the mission, no one expected this result.

It is obvious that as senior students taking action against freshmen, success is inevitable according to common sense. The only difference is the degree of completion. Who would have thought that even "bullying the weak with the strong" would not succeed?

"Hey……"

"The future life is terrible."

The exclamations from the side just expressed what Kara was thinking.

He turned to see Cecily leaning against the adjacent medical bay, a look of emotion on his face.

"Cecile, when were you secretly replaced? There wasn't even a warning!" Kara complained half-jokingly, "That bionic robot disguised itself as you and attacked me. I think you have to take the blame."

Cecily waved her hands repeatedly, her face full of hurt. "I watched the whole thing, but you couldn't tell the difference between me and a bionic machine. It hurts me. We've been together for so long, I thought we knew each other well enough. If it was a bionic robot imitating you, I would definitely be able to see through it at a glance!"

What a good move to catch, transform and release!

Cecily threw the pot back flawlessly.

"Sorry..." After hearing this, Kara actually felt that there was some truth in it. It seemed that there was indeed something wrong with her because she couldn't see through the disguise.

But the next second he realized, wait, how come I was the one apologizing to him?

Cecily immediately interjected with a magnanimous air: "It's okay, these are all minor issues. In fact, neither you nor I are the main problem. The real crux of the matter is him..." As he spoke, he pointed to Remiel who had just woken up on the other side, and his meaning was clear.

"Me?" Remiel pointed at himself, a look of disbelief on his face.

Kara looked at Remiel and nodded in agreement. "Indeed. If they hadn't learned your disguise technique, they wouldn't have been able to disguise Cecily so well."

Remiel didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Can you blame me for this? Who could have thought they'd learn it so quickly? Didn't you expect it too? My disguises aren't always successful, and you're all on guard against me. Why aren't you on guard against a bionic robot?"

Cecily said immediately, "There's nothing I can do. Your disguise is full of flaws. It'll be exposed if you move. This person's disguise is completely true..."

Remiel couldn't stand it any longer: "You're the only one who can still talk, aren't you? It's understandable that Kara was attacked by surprise, but I saw your performance clearly, Cecily. He didn't use any tricks at all, he just relied on his brute force to defeat you. What's there to say about that? You're just a piece of cake!"

Cecily immediately retorted: "You're not much better, you don't have a blanket to eat?"

Remiel argued confidently: "How can that be the same? I prefer the supporting role."

Cecily: "Ah, yes, yes, the number one war criminal! He assisted an outsider in killing Franny, but he didn't even notice that the equipment he had set up had been tampered with, and he foolishly fell into the trap. And yet he still brags about his unparalleled wisdom all day long?"

Hearing this, Franny, who was originally watching the fun, had something to say: "Really, Remiel, there is really something wrong with you!"

Remiel rolled his eyes, unapologetic. "You're not on my team, so wouldn't it be reasonable for me to be on guard against you? If you were in my position, you'd definitely do the same!"

"Hey, you traitor, are you still so arrogant?"

"Alright, alright," Kara interrupted. "It's just a loss, isn't it? How can you pass the buck like that? You're making a fool of yourself for your juniors."

Cecily and Remiel exchanged a glance and said in unison, "Didn't you start this blame-shifting thing, Kara? Now you're pretending to be the good guy?"

On the other side, Yuri and Lina, who had just woken up, witnessed the whole process of the seniors blaming each other, and they had a hard time holding back their laughter.

The once glorious image of the seniors was shattered.

Before the mission began, everyone had a stern temperament and the demeanor of a master. After the mission failed, they still broke through the defense when necessary.

Joad's medical cabin was right next to the two of them. After waking up, he coughed lightly and said to them, "It's normal to share the blame after losing. You guys performed very well, but it's a pity that we seniors are a bit lame."

It would be difficult for anyone to remain calm when seeing the big red words "Mission Failed" on the taskbar.

This will directly affect their mission success rate statistics.

Fortunately, the difficulty of the task was later judged to be "extremely dangerous", which means that in the judgment of the AI, this task was almost impossible for them to complete. This is a consolation and it is not that serious.

If we review the game later, the only chance might be to cooperate fully from the beginning, crush the opponent's defense with absolute strength, quickly seize the map, and not give the opponent time to develop.

But this is all hindsight.

Before experiencing it myself, who could have imagined that the research results of my junior classmates would evolve at such an alarming speed?

Even though everyone knows that they must "go all out" in any mission, when facing new students, they still tend to underestimate the enemy to some extent.

This lesson was unforgettable enough: from now on, even when facing human-machine NPCs, I must give it my all. After all, those human-machine NPCs in that battle just now were ridiculously strong!

Just as the students were busy dividing the blame, the task settlement interface suddenly refreshed its content:

[New combat AI experience qualifications are being issued. You can apply to connect to the 'Hound Type 1' combat system. Currently supported scenarios: Training Grounds and Battle Blocks.

Credit exchange: 2 credits/week (limited time trial price: 0 credits/week)]

The noise suddenly stopped. The students stood up at the same time and walked towards their rooms.

"I still have something to do, so I'll take the first step."

"Stop pretending. Don't you just want to experience the Hound I combat system?"

"You do not want?"

"I want, too."

They already knew that the result of the subject to be tested this time was the Hound Type 1.

I just didn't expect that after the mission was over, I could actually gain experience privileges. Is this a consolation prize for mission failure? That's not bad.

During the mission, I have deeply experienced how difficult it is.

Although it is difficult to deal with, if the goal is to complete the mission, the bionic robot controlled by the Hound Type 1 is indeed tricky, but if the purpose is training, it is simply the perfect sparring partner!

Exchanging combat AI for sparring usually requires high credits, and each AI is an important resource, so the high price is to prevent abuse.

The logic of ordinary combat systems is rigid, the training effect is limited, and most of the time it is just sparring between combat professionals.

But there are only so many schools of martial arts, and everyone's practice path is limited. After repeated practice, the routines become fixed.

The Hound Type 1 is completely different: its fighting style switches extremely quickly, which shows that it has a deep understanding of various combat methods and can simulate different opponents. Didn’t you see that it can even imitate niche auxiliary skills like Remiel?

This means that you can face opponents of various styles and test your own shortcomings.

Although the mission failed, every senior who participated in it was clearly aware of his or her shortcomings in practicing the skills.

Although bionic robots are powerful, they are not invincible. At least they have not demonstrated the power of artistic conception. In theory, there is still a possibility of victory.

If they are new to it, they should practice more. Once they adapt to the "Hound Type 1", their strength will definitely improve.

……

[Mission accomplished.]

Rating: Perfect.

The project's result, the "Hound Type 1" operating system, leverages a new design model and demonstrates exceptional data integration capabilities, rapid iteration capabilities, and resource efficiency. It has been officially incorporated into the system.

mission rewards:

1. Project team quota and authority (already issued)

2. Free career promotion authority (to be claimed)

The task settlement panel appeared in front of all members of the project team.

The new mission rewards are the focus of everyone's attention.

They already knew about the first reward, which had been settled before.

While seemingly a brief statement, the actual privileges and benefits offered were surprisingly generous. For details, please refer to the thick benefits manual. Currently, there are only a few recognized special teams, and these are the ones with the highest privileges.

In comparison, the second reward, while not as appealing as the first, is also quite good and looks like an upgraded version of the original reward.

This makes sense.

Their performance indeed exceeded special expectations. During the process, the main AI even temporarily applied a hot patch and added a hacker team as a variable to stimulate their potential.

Perhaps the original intention of this design was to allow frontline combatants to quickly obtain the design drawings of the Hound I, helping them understand its weaknesses and at the same time stimulate the Hound I's evolution. However, it turned out that this step was completely unnecessary, as the Hound I's evolution had already achieved the desired goal.

Rewards are increased, they deserve it.

Virgil looked at Noah eagerly.

"Get your reward, team leader!"

Virgil is eager to receive the reward. If he can qualify for career promotion, his voice in the family will be greatly enhanced and he will be able to get more resources.

When I excitedly clicked to receive it, I didn't expect the system to prompt that it must be operated by the project leader.

Noah clicks to receive.

[Reward successfully claimed. Global broadcast in progress.]

The moment the prompt popped up, all freshmen, including Noah and the others, heard a system announcement at the same time:

Freshmen Noah, Ava, Tunyan, Qiantong, Martin, Delayak, and Virgil have completed their project designs, received recognition from the AI ​​master system, and been awarded career advancement slots. This has been recognized as a milestone for the academic year and serves as a role model for freshmen. This announcement is being made, and we hope all students will learn from it.

"School Year Milestone!"

Hearing this word, Virgil screamed with excitement and couldn't help jumping up.

Academic year milestones record the important achievements of each class of students during their time at school. There is no more authoritative record than this.

The library's milestone records will accompany you throughout your life. The more milestones you have, the better the student is - this is an important plus point when applying for a job, especially in AI-related fields.

The joy of accident!

But it makes sense if you think about it: considering their grade and their record of defeating their seniors, it is not surprising that they were selected for the milestone.

"That's great! Brother Noah, you are simply my God!"

At this time, Virgil no longer cared whether Noah was younger than him, and the title was not important - let alone calling him big brother, even recognizing him as his real brother would be fine.

To be honest, even my brother is not as helpful as Noah.

Although the others were not as excited as Virgil, their faces were also filled with joy.

Having an extra milestone is a good thing for everyone, not to mention that it is a global broadcast, which greatly satisfies their vanity.

All new students will hear their names called.

As the saying goes, a man of fine clothes never travels at night!

Martin suggested at the right time: "The project has achieved a temporary success. I suggest that we relax and have a meal together?" He looked at Noah inquiringly, who was already the undisputed leader of the group.

"Okay." Noah nodded in agreement. It's important to balance work and rest. After a long day of intense thinking, it's definitely time to replenish your nutrition.

"Invite Fio as a group activity for the research group."

The library restaurant has a wide variety of options. As long as you are willing to spend credits, you can find all kinds of delicacies from land and sea, and even provide delicacies based on ancient recipes.

They randomly chose a restaurant with elegant decoration.

After sitting down in the box, Fio also arrived.

Although he was not included in the system's project testing phase, he will assume corresponding responsibilities in the subsequent research process and officially become a member of the project team.

The delicacies were served one after another, and everyone raised their glasses to drink, full of confidence in the future of the special team - even the new member Fio was no exception.

"I'm not sure what you need me to do specifically," Fio said sincerely, "but as long as it's within my capabilities, I'll do my best. Even if I can't do it now, I can learn."

He kept a low profile.

He was smart enough to understand that although he was a senior, his talent was far from Noah's.

Since we cannot stir up a storm and form a special team in the first grade like the other party, we should respect the geniuses, as they may surpass us at any time.

Noah smiled and replied, "There are indeed areas where I can use your help, but let's not discuss that today. Everyone, we are gathered together for the common goal of reaching higher places and realizing our own life values. We have made some initial progress, but it is far from enough."

Noah makes no secret of his ambition.

The team members also take it for granted that it is such ambition that is worthy of such strength, and each of them has higher aspirations in their hearts.

“I hope each of you can follow my lead.”

"Our journey ahead will definitely not stop here."

"Of course!" everyone said in unison, their eyes flashing with anticipation for the future.

"cheers!"

"cheers!"

Each man drained his cup.

Perhaps it was because of the excitement, or perhaps it was because of the alcohol, but everyone's face was flushed with excitement.

Noah's feelings were touched and someone sent a message.

He lowered his head and found that it was from Edward. After reading the message, he smiled and said to everyone, "Let's go see a movie later."

See a movie?

Everyone in the research team looked at each other in confusion.

Noah showed a poster.

It's a movie directed by Edward, The Terminator.

Below the poster, there is a live broadcast address. When I jumped in, I found that it was Edward's team that was broadcasting the premiere ceremony live.

After all, Fio was a senior and well-informed, so she noticed it immediately: "Huh? They've also entered the project assessment task."
