The Night Watchman of Another World: I know a lot of things
Chapter 70 The Night Watch Trial Begins
The assassination in the night watchman's station was just a small episode and did not cause much waves. Or perhaps the Night Patrol and the government troops were simply too busy at the moment and no one would care about the assassination of a small night watchman.
Time flies, and two days have passed in the blink of an eye.
In the evening of the next day, after Yang Qing picked up his customized equipment, he met Xing Hu in the Night Tour Division as agreed.
Then, under his leadership, the two of them went out through the north gate of Hengzhou Prefecture, headed north, and gathered at a sentry tower about five kilometers away from the city.
When they arrived, quite a few people had already gathered here.
Yang Qing even saw many familiar figures in the crowd.
There are instructors from the previous training camp and several outstanding students from the previous class.
The appearance of Yang Qing and the other person naturally attracted their attention.
"Hey, look! Isn't that the loser who was kicked out of our class? How can he be qualified to participate in this trial?"
"It seems that the life of a night watchman is not as dangerous as rumored. I thought that guy died a long time ago. Haha."
"I guess he must have someone to cling to, otherwise, with his useless strength, how could he be qualified to participate in this trial."
"Humph! So what? Trash will always be trash."
These people were not far away, and their voices were not controlled, so they naturally reached Yang Qing's ears, as if they were speaking directly to him.
But Yang Qing didn't care. Things are different now. He believes that with his current strength, those guys whom he used to look up to are no longer his opponents.
All emotions, in the final analysis, must be resolved with strength.
"There are a lot of people participating in the trial this time!" Xing Hu habitually took out the wine bag and took a sip.
"Look here, there are a lot of people over there from your previous training camp, but I don't think they are as good as you, it's really interesting.
The group of people sitting in the watchtower drinking tea were the children of the Lin family in the north of the city and the Yan family in the south of the city.
Haha, what a bunch of fancy things, all just pretense.
Those guys hiding under the trees or leaning against the wall should be disciples from the nearby Taoist temple or sect.
So, even though my job as a Night Watchman is dangerous, there are still many people who want to work for us.
After all, the more dangerous the job, the greater the reward.
Those skills that are regarded as the foundation of the sects or families can be exchanged in my Yeyou Division as long as the merit points are sufficient.
By the way, I remember that in every trial, the top few would receive a considerable reward. Seeing that there are quite a few disciples from the sects and noble families coming this time, I guess the reward this time will not be too low."
As he was talking, a man in black tights appeared in the center of the crowd. When Xing Hu saw the man, he immediately put away the wine bag and stopped talking.
“Okay, let me introduce myself. I’m Qi Yegui, the examiner of this trial, nicknamed Night Crow.
I really hope that you can pass the next trials and become my colleagues.
Without further ado, the trial will begin soon. Those who haven't arrived yet will be dismissed."
As soon as Qi Yegui finished speaking, the night guards immediately blocked the entrance and no one was allowed to enter the venue.
“Let me first explain the rules of this trial.
The rules are actually very simple. After one stick of incense, all of you will start from here and head north.
We have a night watchman's tower every twenty miles. After entering the tower, you can purchase the tower certificate with the Filthy Pearl and then rush to the next tower.
The first person to reach the tower sentry post a hundred miles away will be the winner of this trial."
"Can I just use the purchase voucher of the Evil Trace Pearl?" asked a young man dressed as a child of a noble family.
"This is the first and last time I don't want anyone to interrupt me when I'm speaking, otherwise I will be expelled from the competition and disqualified."
Seeing that his words were interrupted, Qi Yegui said in a cold voice.
“All of you who are participating in the trial should hand over the Filth Pearls on your body to your companions. In this trial, all the Filth Pearls used to purchase the sentry tower vouchers must be dropped by the evil spirits killed tonight.
Don't think about getting away with it, we can still tell the difference between newly dropped Filth Trace Beads and old Filth Trace Beads.
In addition, the first tower outpost only requires one Filth Pearl to pass through, the second one requires three, the third one requires five, and the fourth one requires ten. One second-level Filth Pearl of Evil is equivalent to five first-level ones.
As for the Filthy Trace Pearls dropped by the third-level evil spirits, hehe."
Qi Yegui smiled and said, "If any of you can get the third-level evil spirit's filthy trace bead, then you can come and sit in my seat."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone smiled in agreement.
The difference in strength between the first and second level evil spirits is actually not that big, it is just the difference in instinct and available talent skills.
But once you reach the third level, you will be able to comprehend the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and use skills, just like the three-headed dog of hell that Yang Qing encountered that day. It is at least equivalent to a cultivator possessing a peak-level materialized soul soldier.
“Of course, as long as you can reach the first tower post in this trial, you will pass it and be promoted to an apprentice night watchman. The ones after that will only be used to calculate the ranking.
Anyone who can reach the fourth tower outpost can be promoted to a formal night watchman, and all treatment will be the same as that of a formal night watchman.
Those who can reach the last tower outpost will be ranked by time, and each person will receive a merit reward, with the top three receiving generous prizes.
Haha, I actually didn’t expect that the higher-ups would attach so much importance to this trial, and the rewards given are quite generous.”
As soon as these words were spoken, the eyes of those disciples from aristocratic families and sects all lit up. They participated in the trial this time because they had heard about the rewards.
"The first place winner will be rewarded with a Soul Enlightenment Pill, which will allow one to enter a fetal breathing state and communicate deeply with soul soldiers.
The second place winner will be rewarded with a set of thunder-related Taoist magic and thunder fist and hand seal techniques.
The third place winner will be awarded ten Guiyuan Pills. Each pill can increase one's cultivation by more than one year in about half a month."
As Qi Yegui's voice fell, a commotion suddenly broke out all around.
"Oh my God! It's actually the Soul Enlightenment Pill that improves the ability to comprehend soul soldiers. I, Jia Jishan, have reserved this pill." A sturdy young man from the sect's disciples said proudly.
"Hmph! Just you? Aren't you afraid that the wind will blow your tongue away?" A member of another sect nearby retorted.
The children of the aristocratic families were also discussing this matter.
“Although this Soul Enlightenment Pill is rare, the Thunder Fist Seal Technique given by the second place winner is also good. Although it is only a second-level hand seal, it is a rare thunder hand seal.”
"That's right. If I can comprehend a bit of lightning-attributed Qi with this seal, my dad will have to speak softly whenever he sees me in the future."
Looking at the discussions of the crowd, Qi Yegui was very satisfied. This was exactly the effect that their Yeyou Division wanted.
They have suffered too many casualties recently, and have discovered several places in the wild where evil spirits are gathering.
This is the time when fresh blood is needed. It would be a great deal to spend some money to lure these children from aristocratic families and sects in.
Compared to the carefully trained disciples from aristocratic families and sects, the ones the Night Watch brought out from the training camp were far inferior in strength.
In fact, this is easy to understand. In a small place like Hengzhou Prefecture, the best steel is used on the blade.
The people in the training camp are usually children from poor families, and those who are thrown into such places to be teachers basically have some deficiencies in combat skills.
How can a person who can't even be a good soldier himself teach others well?
"Alright! Next, the trial is about to begin. All participants in the trial, please come forward and register with me, and receive the Si Nan Pei that will guide you to the various tower outposts."
Amid the surging crowd, Yang Qing roughly estimated that the number of people participating in the trial this time was around eighty to ninety.
"Finally, I would like to remind you that you should never compare the world outside the city with the world inside the city. Compared with the dangers outside the city, you are simply lambs living in a sheepfold.
I don't know how many of you have actually faced the evil in the wild, but from the first step you take out of this tower, you will be faced with sneak attacks from the darkness at any time.
It is even possible that this sneak attack may occur in groups.
Of course, if you find that you are not strong enough, you can return here at any time or enter any tower to seek shelter.
Well, life and death are determined by fate, wealth and honor are determined by God, I wish you good luck.
Now, I declare that the trial begins!"
