Chapter 963: Chapter 623: Cube Metal

[Super Iron Grip!]

Under the command of the Summoner, the mechanical tank man with an especially thick right arm picked up a blue dragon shrimp and swung it forcefully.

Bam!

The shrimp drew an arc and narrowly landed within the red line zone, kicking up a cloud of dust and rubble.

[1]

The scoreboard within the red line zone displayed the corresponding effective number.

It was evident that it could handle such transportation work, but with some difficulty.

Meanwhile, the other summoned beasts were engaging in collaborative transportation under the Summoner’s command.

Some were responsible for carrying on their backs, others for loading, and the entire process was orderly.

It’s clear that the veteran group deserves to be called the veteran group; they must have encountered such tasks in practice before.

With the physique of the summoned beasts, they do not tire easily.

So in just 10 minutes, half of this pile of materials had already been transported.

"Old Fu, if it were you two, could you be faster?"

Liu Jisheng looked at the scene below and inquired.

"You guys... might be overlooking something."

However, Fu Dusheng appeared worried.

"This is a competition, not the real situation."

At this point, Yu Duoduo came over from another place.

If it were a real situation needing summoned beast transportation, their Burst Soldier Style would definitely crush ordinary Summoners.

But she had just asked the judges, and their summoned beasts were not allowed to be resummoned in advance.

"The captain is right; the problem lies here."

Fu Dusheng looked troubled.

Burst Soldier Style excels in numbers, but individually, their physique is relatively weak.

He estimated that, using the Skeleton Mage’s skeleton soldiers as an example, about 7 or 8 would be needed to carry one blue dragon shrimp.

And just summoning the Skeleton Mage takes quite a bit of time. Moreover, even if the time for summoning soldiers is ignored, their number of summoned soldiers has an upper limit.

"What, so does that mean you two are unreliable?"

Liu Jisheng shrugged, having been excited for nothing.

It seems that Void Giants and Strawmen, such strong summoned beasts, are necessary to deploy.

"Not necessarily, I think there are some points worth discussing here."

But Yu Duoduo shook her head.

If the assessment content referenced real situations, then the answer wouldn’t be so simple and crude.

Consider that even Summoners have limited storage space.

Generally speaking, when adventure teams go out on an expedition and encounter so many magical creatures, they ultimately only collect the valuable parts.

Indeed, as the first team alliance finished, the second team alliance took the stage.

Yu Duoduo’s guess was confirmed.

In this round, the materials needing transportation were the corpses of a magical creature called Fireheart Clam.

The Fireheart Clam’s shell is quite heavy, typical of a steadfast type magical creature.

Moreover, its size is very large, with one equal to two or three blue dragon shrimps.

This pile’s weight far exceeds that of the last round.

If everything needed to be transported again, obviously comparing it to the last round would be extremely unfair.

But the Summoners of this alliance were smart; they immediately spotted this issue.

So they let the summoned beasts try to pry open the Fireheart Clam and extract the pearl core inside, which resembled a fireball.

Then they transported the core within the red line.

Sure enough, such action was also recognized as one effective number.

"As expected, the so-called transportation actually tests eyesight and disassembly skills."

Liu Jisheng finally understood.

Eyesight refers to the ability to quickly recognize or discover the most valuable part of a magical creature.

Disassembly means figuring out how to remove that part, which tests technique as well as proficiency.

Unfortunately, although this second alliance discovered the secret, trying to open a Fireheart Clam is best done with sharp tools cutting along the clam’s seam.

And they sent in all strength-type summoned beasts, lacking any sharp tools, so they had to rely on brute force to pry them open.

So although they were faster than the previous alliance, they weren’t much faster.

"Freshman, looks like it’ll just be up to us later."

Liu Jisheng thought they should learn from these lessons.

Among the five, only the Void Cyborg and Fu had better cutting abilities.

"Ah? Oh, okay."

But Li Pu seemed a bit distracted.

Because he thought it was a pity that Summoners couldn’t personally participate.

Otherwise, all these materials would definitely be related.

With the second alliance’s experience, subsequent alliances began strategically forming reasonable lineups.

Overall scores started gradually decreasing in time.

This made the first alliance look quite displeased.

They originally thought going first would put pressure on other alliances, but unexpectedly, they became the example to learn from.

Looking at the current trend, they might actually end up as one of the bottom five.

Meanwhile, the judges, who were huddled together, watched the competition with indifference.

"Hehehe, there seem to be quite a few promising candidates this year."

One middle-aged woman glanced over the contestants.

"Yes, given time, they have the potential to become excellent Adventurers."

"But some among them are certainly going to be eliminated, what a pity."

Someone chimed in.

"What’s there to pity about? If they’re eliminated, doesn’t that give us an opportunity?"

In fact, many members of the judging panel were part of adventure teams.

The reason they came to judge was often motivated by intentions like recruiting suitable candidates from those eliminated for their adventure team.
