Harriman hit the right time and announced. The feeble voice was covered by the mountain wind under the influence of "qi" and reached the ears of every candidate.

"Congratulations on passing the first test."

Harriman's eyes swept across the two hundred and thirty-one candidates present.

Six hours of hiking.

There were nearly two thousand candidates, but in the end, only 231 candidates successfully reached the top.

After listening to Harriman's words, most of the candidates present breathed a sigh of relief.

The candidates who finished the summit overtime are actually doing fine and have been resting for quite some time now.

The candidates who climbed to the top later and stepped up to the points are still exhausted and just want to take a rest and regain their energy before the start of the second test.

All in all, they felt a lot more relaxed after completing the first level of testing.

"So--"

Harriman said seriously: "The second test will begin in five minutes."

"!!!"

As soon as this statement came out, it immediately caused an uproar among the candidates.

"What's the meaning!?"

"The first level of testing is over and the second level of testing should be started immediately?"

"And it's still six hours of mountain climbing, with no time for rest at all?!"

The candidates who had only been able to relax for a few seconds were now tense.

Harriman ignored the objections of the candidates and declared to himself:

"The test content of the second level is to go down the mountain within three hours. If you can reach the foot of the mountain within the time limit, you will be deemed to have passed the second level test."

"!!!"

Listening to the content of the second level test, the venue was suddenly so quiet that only the sound of the howling wind was left.

"Those who have any objections can be deemed to have given up their qualifications to participate in the second level test."

Harriman's next words directly blocked the candidates' thoughts of opposition that were about to erupt.

Should I give up directly or bite the bullet and start the second level of testing?

Candidates who have finally completed the first test will not choose the latter.

Moyo looked at Harriman who had just announced the exam questions.

The first step is to climb to the top and the second step is to go down.

Therefore, those who complete the summit early will have enough time to rest from the beginning.

Those who barely complete the climb to the top will most likely be eliminated during the descent of the second level because they do not have enough rest time.

The two-stage test can be said to carry out the purpose of testing the candidates' physical fitness to the end.

Then——

With one minute left in the second test, Harriman took out a red balloon and blew it up in front of everyone.

Soon, a balloon the size of a rubber ball appeared in Harriman's hand.

As everyone watched, Harriman tossed the balloon.

The howling mountain wind instantly carried the red balloon and flew it in one direction.

"Well, please go down the mountain from this direction."

Harriman immediately pointed in the opposite direction and announced the direction down the mountain.

The candidates did not have any comments because the second level test had already begun.

"Asshole examiner..."

The candidates who could only curse Harriman in their hearts then started to move and headed towards the foot of the mountain.

Moyou did not rush ahead this time, but sat in front of the fire and took the hot soup from Menqi.

"call……"

Just taking a sip made me feel warm all over my body.

Being able to drink such a bowl of hot soup that combines "nian" and "superb cooking skills" in such a cold place, Moyu realized what happiness is.

"It seems that Menqi's 'ability tone' has been completely formed."

Moyu finished the hot soup in a few seconds, thinking in his mind:

"Although it is a non-combat ability, you can improve your combat power by learning and mastering the 'Think Bullets' in the future."

Compared with the simple offensive release ability, Moyu felt that Menqi's ability was more precious.

The candidates who started going down the mountain one by one felt mixed emotions when they saw Moyu sitting in front of the fire drinking hot soup.

They were wondering whether they could reach the foot of the mountain safely, but the other party seemed to be traveling to climb the mountain. Not only did he have outstanding abilities, he was also accompanied by a beautiful girl...

What a winner in life!

There really is no harm without comparison.

Adhering to the principle of keeping out of sight, this group of candidates with complicated emotions accelerated their pace down the mountain.

After a while, only Moyou and Menqi were left on the top of the mountain.

"There's no rush, three hours is quite enough."

Moyou looked at Menqi who was quickly packing his things and said with a smile.

"Um."

Menqi nodded.

It's not that she is in a hurry to clean up, but that she is the type who pursues efficiency.

A few minutes later, Menqi finished collecting her things.

When Moyou saw this, he stood up.

"Let's go."

Looking towards the direction where the candidates were going down the mountain, Moyu said softly.

Practice is practice, rest is rest.

We still need to pay attention to the next test.

Moyou walked in front, followed closely by Menqi.

The fact that they can still maintain a relatively good condition after practicing for more than five hours is enough to show their growth over the past year.

Moyu and Menqi walked down the rock wall.

On the way, I saw many other candidates walking very carefully.

In a sense, the "going down" at this moment is more difficult than the "climbing" at the beginning.

But for Moyu and Menqi, it is still a trivial matter.

Despite this, the two men descended the mountain slowly.

To tell the reason——

It's Menqi who is collecting ingredients.

On this route to the bottom of the mountain, you can see a white fruit growing next to the rocks.

In order to collect such wild fruits, we naturally slowed down the mountain.

There is also a certain degree of deviation in the direction of the route.

But the impact is not big.

Moyou accompanied Menqi to dig out various ingredients along the way.

Menqi was as excited as if she had found a treasure.

The food hunter's pursuit and curiosity about unknown ingredients are really vividly reflected in Menqi.

In the eyes of others, how could they imagine that Menqi in this state would have a fierce side.

"The backpack is almost full, it's almost done."

Moyou looked at the bulging backpack on Menqi's back.

Menqi smiled broadly when he heard this, still a little dissatisfied.

Because no food hunter can resist the temptation to collect high-quality ingredients.

Mo You laughed and shook his head, leading the way.

"Um?"
