48: Nie Yuqian's final preparations: The college entrance examination begins!

With Qin Yu's level in the secret realm reaching the level 19 cap, he had arrived at the critical threshold for changing classes.

On his class interface, several mechanical products that had never appeared before were unlocked once again.

The "heavy mechanical power limbs" were one of them, and after some research, Qin Yu considered them the most cost-effective option.

The required materials were simple, and the requirements were not high...

Yet, the overall energy level was as high as 5600 to 6000 euler!

Although it could not be called a qualitative leap compared to the ordinary "mechanical power limbs," it was, as the description noted, a perfect substitute for the "mechanical power limbs" category when upgrading towards a mecha.

"Come to think of it, if this set of 'heavy mechanical power limbs' had been finished just now when facing Li Xingwen..."

"With an energy level of 5600 to 6000 euler, I might have been able to contend with him without using energy beams."

"Even if I couldn't beat Li Xingwen, holding out until security and Lin Tian arrived to support me wouldn't have been a problem at all."

Inside the forging space, looking at the four mechanical limbs neatly arranged before him that were already taking shape, Qin Yu couldn't help but sigh.

However, he was just thinking about it casually in his mind.

Soon, Qin Yu stopped stalling and began to work, forging once again!

Although time was relatively tight, Qin Yu remained meticulous, not daring to be careless in the slightest regarding the assembly and forging of such high-precision mechanical products.

He did his utmost to ensure that every part and every hinge within them was flawless!

For a time, inside the forging space... the familiar sounds of metal clashing and cutting, along with the distinct metallic scent of iron, once again emerged.

Naturally, at the same time that Qin Yu was working hard to prepare for tomorrow's College Entrance Examination, in the residential area where Qin Yu used to live, specifically in Nie Yuxi's home, Nie Yuxi was also working hard to become stronger.

At this moment, she was sitting quietly on a cushion in her bedroom, holding the blood flame crystal she had previously obtained in the secret realm, silently adjusting her state.

At the same time, information about the blood flame crystal resurfaced in her mind.

"The blood flame crystal is a rare mental-type material produced only on the other side of the starry sky, in the territory of the Demon Race."

"It is of no use to the Demon Race; it is generally only used to be placed in certain secret realms to conduct experiments related to mental types."

"However, if humans absorb it according to a specific method, in addition to significantly enhancing their physique, they can also increase their mental power by a certain amount."

"Although the process carries a certain risk, for the absorber, the gains obtained are far greater than the risks..."

When she had just obtained this blood flame crystal... Nie Yuxi had actually originally planned to wait until after her College Entrance Examination to choose a suitable time to use it.

However, ever since the class reunion tonight, when she became almost one hundred percent certain that Lin Yu was actually Qin Yu, Nie Yuxi could no longer wait that long.

Because, according to the countdown on the template in her mind, after tomorrow's College Entrance Examination comprehensive test, it would be the time for her and Qin Yu's first comparison!

She was very clear in her heart that, given the strength Qin Yu had displayed in the secret realm, it was absolutely impossible for her, as she was now, to win against Qin Yu in the comparison.

And Nie Yuxi could not accept failure in the comparison at all!

In her previous life, she was a generation's Empress!

The pride of being an Empress did not allow her to lose to anyone among her peers.

Especially since this person was just a "passerby" character in her memories of her previous life.

Furthermore, besides this, if she failed the comparison, not only would she lose the rewards granted by the template, but she would also have to complete a sycophant task.

Thinking that after she lost, she would have to act as a sycophant for Qin Yu... Nie Yuxi found it even more unacceptable!

Therefore, even though she knew that forcibly absorbing this blood flame crystal at this moment had a certain probability of causing her mind to fall into a short period of mania, she couldn't care about that anymore.

"I am an Empress, Qin Yu, so what if your class really is a Mecha Master?"

"In this comparison, I will definitely win against you!" Nie Yuxi steeled her heart, and the next moment, she hesitated no longer, beginning to circulate the technique to absorb the blood flame crystal within her body.

Subsequently, the blood flame crystal in her hand began to emit streaks of bright blood-colored light, which flowed in wisps into Nie Yuxi's body.

At the same time, the size of the blood flame crystal was shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye...

In the blink of an eye, it was the next day, June 6th, the day of the College Entrance Examination for all high schools in the Dragon Kingdom.

In the Qinglong Mansion Residential Area, although Qin Yu had stayed up in the forging space until four in the morning to finish forging the full set of "heavy mechanical power limbs," he did not feel too exhausted.

With spirit points several times higher than an ordinary person's, he didn't feel too exhausted and still got up early.

For such an important day, even Li Ziqi, who usually slept until eight or nine in the morning before getting up for work, broke precedent by not sleeping in and woke up early just like Qin Yu.

However, because she already knew that Qin Yu had long been specially admitted by the Star Ring Academy, one of the Four Great Academies, other than getting up a little earlier than usual, Li Ziqi was not overly worried about Qin Yu.

She just gave a couple of reminders, then symbolically saw him out the door, and that was it.

At this moment, Lin Tian and Lin Xueyue were already waiting for Qin Yu at the door.

"Don't worry, Auntie, if I don't bring back the national top scorer title, I'd be doing a disservice to my class level."

Walking out the door, Qin Yu waved back at Li Ziqi inside the house, then got into Lin Tian and Lin Xueyue's car and headed towards the school.

Although the date of the College Entrance Examination in this world was the same as in his previous life, starting on June 6th, it was not like his previous life where the cultural subjects alone took three full days.

The College Entrance Examination in the Dragon Kingdom of this world consisted of three processes: cultural subjects, the candidate's comprehensive test, and the subsequent practical test. Although there were many steps, it only took two days in total.

The first day was for the cultural subjects in the morning and the comprehensive test in the afternoon. The second day was for the practical ranking test for all combat-class professions.

The time was unbelievably short. The reason for this result was that with the arrival of the era of universal class changing, the proportion of cultural subjects in society had become too insignificant.

The vast majority of ordinary people who awakened life-class professions had already determined which industry they were suitable for from the moment they awakened their profession, so naturally, no one cared too much about cultural subjects.

Therefore, over the course of several hundred years, not just in the Dragon Kingdom, but all over the world, the exam time for cultural subjects in the College Entrance Examination had been compressed to half a day.

As for the subsequent comprehensive test and practical ranking assessment, generally speaking, ordinary people who awakened life-class professions would not choose to participate.

Furthermore, students capable of awakening combat-class professions only accounted for a very small minority of the total population. Ultimately, this resulted in the strange phenomenon where, despite there being much more to test in the College Entrance Examination, the exam time had miraculously shortened.
