The next day, Xu Yi and Fatty took a taxi to the Six Schools Alliance Office again to receive their joint examination ranking rewards.
There were many windows in the office, and the two of them went to different windows because they had different queue numbers.
The window Xu Yi queued at was greeted by a capable young lady with short hair covering her ears.
"Student Xu Yi, you ranked first in this unified exam and have the privilege to customize a blue card."
"Blue card customization?"
"Okay, this belongs to the knowledge of the God's Core in the senior year of high school, and you may not have come into contact with it yet. Your God's Core has already integrated a lot of law cards. It takes time for the God's Core to fuse the laws. Using too many cards at the same time will cause the God's Core to be unstable. The so-called customized cards are to fuse the several laws you need together to form a card, which can reduce the burden of the God's Core fusing laws." The young lady explained patiently.
"So that's how it is." Xu Yi had an idea in an instant. He remembered the troublesome conditions for the flesh and blood puppet to advance to the second level.
"Then I need a custom card formed by Pistol Mastery Level 1, Light Machine Gun Mastery Level 1, Tactical Rolling Level 1, and Throwing Weapon Mastery Level 1."
"Specialty card, right? Let me check it for you. Please wait a moment."
"You are the first place winner. You can choose a customized blue card made up of a fusion of five laws at most. Since the specialties you chose are relatively basic, you can choose one more."
Before coming here, Xu Yi had not expected this kind of reward. For a moment, he could not think of any good choice and fell into silence for a while.
At this time, the young lady who was handling the business spoke up: "How about helping you choose the sniper rifle mastery level 1? We have received similar customizations before, and the final fusion name should be..." The young lady frowned slightly, as if trying to recall.
"Special tactics mastery level 1."
…
Standing at the office door, Zheng Guihao had not come out yet, so Xu Yi had to wait for him at the office door.
In a flash, a pale golden figure passed by, and she looked very familiar. Without the star-studded look she had in school, her temperament seemed more girl-next-door, with a bit more of a fireworks flavor.
"Du Yuan?" This was the nickname Xu Yi gave her when she was a child. Without the word "fei", it sounded more intimate.
"Xu Yi?" The girl turned around naturally and walked towards Xu Yi.
After years of separation and the distance between the two schools, a barrier was built up in the hearts of the two without them noticing.
It was Xu Yi who took the lead in breaking the deadlock.
"I heard that your divine domain is in the 24:1 time domain."
"Hehehe, yes." The girl's smile seemed a little deliberate, as if it contained a hint of flattery.
"Haha, maybe we are neighbors."
"It's possible." The girl still kept smiling.
Knowing that the chances of this happening were too small, neither of them knew what to do next.
For a moment, awkwardness spread in the silent atmosphere, making people want to escape.
It seems that the meaningless topics that we used to be able to chat about for half a day have become difficult to start due to the unfamiliarity of not seeing each other for a long time.
"Let's talk next time."
"Well, let's talk next time."
…
On the way back, the atmosphere was a bit depressing. The fat man saw a figure flashing by in front of the window. As if he had guessed something, he changed his previous talkative personality and became silent.
Just like that, in silence all the way, the two returned to their respective homes, and started this summer vacation which had a gloomy beginning.
…
Although it is summer vacation, students don't actually get to completely relax. They just don't have to work so hard to develop their divine realm and cope with waves of exams.
However, the situation did not become clear for Xu Yi. To the west of his divine domain, there was an unknown orc demigod who was eyeing him covetously.
After washing his face to get rid of his recent dejection, Xu Yi prepared to start a new journey.
Arriving at the God's Domain, the collapsed half of the abandoned factory had been completely demolished. Considering that the demigods could start building their own temples in the future, Xu Yi planned to transform the canning factory into a fortress.
The temple itself will have certain defensive capabilities, and what Xu Yi needs to do is to combine it with mechanical equipment to turn it into a fortress with both magical and physical defenses.
It has been more than half a year since Sisu was resurrected as an undead, and it took about the same amount of time for it to lead the orc team to explore.
After a while, the orcs will discover the abnormality and lead their troops to advance. Xu Yi is now thankful that the orc civilization is not good at perception and exploration capabilities, so he still has some time to deal with it.
As for external aid, Zheng Guihao's divine domain belongs to the 21:1 time domain, which should be very far away. He is also still very far away from the true god level. The divine domain cannot move, so he should not be able to get any support.
In this era, there is no such thing as seeking government support. The cities of human gods at the true god level are all on the front line, so many divine realms were destroyed and many gods fell in the middle of the journey.
The place occupied by human gods in the endless divine domain is just a drop in the ocean. Clearing the area around the divine domain is the first difficulty that those who have awakened divinity must face independently. It is also the main theme of the life of high school students - expanding the divine domain, plundering resources, and preparing to ignite the divine fire in the first year of college.
Xu Yi's primary goal is to take over the underground research institute which had failed him last time and which had delayed his progress due to preparations for the final joint examination!
By integrating the five-in-one rare-level specialty fusion card awarded as a reward for this exam into the divine core, the Blood Machinery Clan also received the greatest improvement since they called themselves Xu Yi's original clan.
[Flesh Puppet] (Second-level promotion, Flesh Thug, conditions have not yet been met)
[Occupation] Mechanical Apprentice, Strength increased by 0.3, Intelligence increased by 0.4, Perception increased by 0.2, Craftsmanship increased by one level
[Radiation] Currently in the second round of radiation cycle, all attributes increased by 0.1, mutation slot +1.
[Attributes] Strength 1.6-2.1, Agility 1.0-1.7, Constitution 2.1-2.3, Intelligence 1.1-2.3, Perception 1.5-1.8, Charisma 1.5-2.1
[Expertise] Craftsmanship lv2, Precision lv1, Robustness lv1, Special Tactics Mastery lv1.
The attribute gap is very close to the second-order Flesh Thug, mainly because the requirement of Constitution 2.4 has blocked the promotion of the entire clan, and this requirement can be achieved by waiting for another round of radiation.
Xu Yi was still very much looking forward to this second-level biological attribute whose bonus was still unknown.
It took Xu Yi 34,000 faith points to recover the swollen colossus. The collision with the giant bull demon directly penetrated the thick flesh and blood buffer layer of the swollen colossus and injured the black statue part inside.
Coupled with the use of [Broken Shadow] several times in the joint examination, Xu Yi almost used up all the faith points he had accumulated before the exam.
Fortunately, the Blood Machine Clan sacrificed the Giant Bull Demon, Bone Demon, and a large number of fire lizards and hellhound corpses, and Xu Yi's faith points were restored to about 50,000. However, he didn't dare to keep the faith gained from such bloody sacrifices, so it would be better to consume it through lottery later.
