"Let the children pay attention to safety during the assessment, and don't just pursue rankings." Guan Wenkang hung up the communication after finishing his instructions. He had to talk to Principal Yu of Gus College.

The teacher at the military school was full of doubts but couldn't ask. The principal must have considered this decision well... right?

The optical brain popped up a new reminder, and the military school teacher saw that Jiang Lian's name had been added to the list, and he sighed.

However, thinking of Jiang Lian's excellent performance in the assessment of the Star Beast Department, he felt that he might be able to trust this child.

The teacher of the military school returned to the students and announced, "Dalin is still in a coma, and Jiang Lian will take part in the Mecha Department assessment this time."

As soon as the words came out, to the teacher's surprise, there were not many students who held objections. Hang Yuxin, who was the top major in the mecha department in the senior year, expressed his understanding, and most of them told Jiang Lian that they just did their best.

Jiang Yi, a freshman, was slightly dissatisfied, but he had to accept the candidate handpicked by the principal.

After all the candidates for the Federal Military Academy were selected and everyone registered, the examiner began to announce the rules of the assessment.

Since there will be team battles between schools, the early stages are all individual battles, and the mech students are no exception.

Everyone enters the same virtual copy that is randomly generated, and the final scoring judgment is made according to the completion of the copy task and performance points.

The performance points are judged by the examiner and [-] retired officers in the federal army. Due to the difference in grades, the judgment criteria will be slightly different. Of course, the earlier the task is completed, the better the performance points will be.

The top ten in each grade of the Mecha Department can get corresponding points. Unlike other departments, due to the large number of people in the Mecha Department, the top [-] in the final overall ranking will also get bonus points.

"The flow rate of time in the dungeon is different from that of the outside world. A day inside is actually half an hour. Considering everyone's mental endurance, this personal battle is limited to five hours. Those who have not completed the dungeon task by then will be forced to eject. Of course, if you When the life value in the dungeon is 0, it will also be forcibly eliminated."

"After entering the dungeon, please read the background of the story carefully, and arrange the time to complete the task reasonably. I wish you all good grades."

After the examiner finished speaking, a group of staff stepped forward to assist the students in putting on the equipment that links their mental power.

Jiang Lian lay down in the dormant compartment, gently protecting the black ball in his pocket with his left hand, feeling indescribably at ease.

After the hatch was closed, the mental power was withdrawn, and before the boy's eyes were images of countless copies flashing past, and finally the white frame of the virtual copy framed one of the copies with a bloody and weird cover.

"Mysterious Castle?" Jiang Lian muttered silently, and clicked on the dungeon introduction.

[Mysterious Castle - Difficult version. 】

[On the top of the hill above the small town of Lidata stands an ancient castle, sometimes brightly lit, sometimes uninhabited, it is rumored that a wealthy family lives there, but the townspeople have never seen the small door leading to the castle. There are people on the road. 】

[In recent days, there have been a lot of missing people in the town, but the silent old castle is filled with singing like Devil May Cry every night, which makes everyone feel very panicked, but no one dares to go to investigate. 】

【Just three days ago, your sister disappeared when she went out to buy candy. You searched everywhere, and finally found your sister's hair rope on the path up the mountain.At the same time, there are more leaflets for the castle recruiting servants in the town, and you finally make up your mind to go to the castle to find out. 】

[The tasks you need to do are as follows:]

【1. Find my sister and rescue her. 】

[2. Explore the secrets behind the castle. 】

【3. Know the whereabouts of missing persons. 】

The rest was supplemented randomly, and Jiang Lian quickly memorized them in his mind while browsing.

What makes him strange is that even if the assessment tests the comprehensive ability of the mecha department students, not just the ability to drive the mecha.

But the information about how to fight in the dungeon introduction didn't appear much, instead it felt like exploring a haunted house.

"Forget it, you'll know everything when you go in." After Jiang Lian finished speaking, he clicked to start.

After a burst of dizziness, Jiang Lian's vision gradually became clear.

Sunlight shines in through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, and the room is decorated with retro and gorgeous furnishings, which looks unique.

In the hall, Jiang Lian looked at the servants who were cleaning and chatting with some doubts. Is he in the castle?

——See how the atmosphere does not match the description...

"New here, why are you still standing there!" said a man in a tuxedo with gray hair and beard in front of him.

A reminder flashed in front of my eyes: [Castle Steward]

In the copy, except for Jiang Lian, they are all NPCs, and there will be prompts for the more important characters.

Jiang Lian looked around, as if he was the only one, and pointed to himself: "Me?"

The butler's lips trembled: "Otherwise?"

——How do you feel that the new guy is a bit dumb? If it weren't for the fact that no one came to apply for the job, he wouldn't have kept him at all.

Jiang Lian understood the look in the housekeeper's eyes, and quickly followed obediently.

The butler walked and said, "Since you come to Mr. Fanser's house, you must understand the rules. If you want to work here, you must be smart first. Remember what I said next. If you go to a place that you shouldn't go, let Fans Mr. Sai ran into you at your own peril."

For some reason, Jiang Li heard some fear of Mr. Versailles from the butler's tone, and he silently remembered this important person.

Afterwards, the butler took him around the castle and introduced him, where he was not allowed to go, and where it had special meaning to that Versailles, so he couldn't touch it, etc.

Turning around, the butler led Jiang Lian to the servants' resting room. There were many rooms in the castle, but not many servants, so Jiang Lian was alone.

The butler looked at Jiang Lian's dusty clothes with a little distaste: "You will live here from now on, go in and change into your uniform and clean yourself up, and then I will take you to work, otherwise I won't be able to help but want to put your clothes on." You get out."

Jiang Lian nodded, went in and closed the door, changed into a black suit on the bed, then wiped off the dirt on his face in front of the mirror, and straightened his hair.

Jiang Lian nodded in satisfaction: "Don't say it, people rely on clothes, it's really not a boast."

——Now he directly transforms into a good brother who saves his sister and endures humiliation as a male servant!

"Well, this looks like someone who lives in an ancient castle." Seeing that the boy's image had improved a lot, the butler's tone improved a lot.

Soon, the housekeeper took Jiang Lian outside the castle, pointed to a large flower garden outside and said, "This is the area you will be in charge of in the future."

The housekeeper said and took out a drawing: "This is the final effect that Mr. Versailles wants, you have to finish it well."

Jiang Lian was taken aback, my good guy, it turns out that garden design is part of his scope of work?

"Tools can be found in the warehouse. The working hours are from 12:[-] am to [-]:[-] pm. Meals will be arranged uniformly, with lunch at [-] o'clock and dinner at [-] o'clock."

"Of course, the most important thing you need to remember is the curfew from ten o'clock in the evening to six o'clock the next day." The housekeeper said emphatically, "absolutely, never leave your room! Remember?"

Jiang Lian raised his eyebrows: "Remember."

——He has been highlighted, so there must be something weird.

Afterwards, the housekeeper left and let Jiang Lian start working here.

Jiang Lian first went to the warehouse to search but found nothing. The tools the butler said were all normal and common gardening tools, and the renderings left by the butler had no mystery. Maybe the flowers and plants needed to be pruned before they could be planted. figure it out.

Thinking about it, Jiang Lian returned to the garden with a shovel and a tool box.

The flowers in the garden were extraordinarily luxuriant, and they looked delicate and charming under the morning light. Jiang Lian looked at the renderings and decided to start from the center.

The young man shuttled among the flowers, and soon came to the innermost part. The scent of Ling Xiaohua was so strong that he could smell it in his breath.

Jiang Lian felt something was wrong. The arrangement of these flowers seemed to be according to the color, but they were actually planted according to the intensity of the fragrance. The fragrance in this area was particularly strong, as if they were covering up something.

Jiang Lian closed his eyes and sniffed the smell in the air carefully. Sure enough, he caught a slight smell of blood and rancidity.

Jiang Lian followed the trace of breath and walked over. Seeing no one around, he squatted down and dug up with a shovel.

Soon, the shovel seemed to hit something, Jiang Lian cleaned up the remaining soil on it, and saw clearly what was buried in the ground.

——It was a spherical gray rock block, about the size of Jiang Lian's fist.

"What is this?" Jiang Lian took out a rock curiously, but found that the touch became soft after touching someone.

Suddenly, the rock had a heartbeat: "Dong Dong——"

Then, in Jiang Lian's hands, it was stuck on it like plasticine, and a mouth grew out of the rock block, inside which was a small circle of fine teeth, which widened and bit towards Jiang Lian's fingers.

Unfortunately, it didn't work out.

Jiang Lian took the lead in tearing him off with the other hand, pulling him away like spreading dough, hooking up the sickle on the other side with one foot, and piercing the strange mouth with the tip of the knife as it fell.

"Ah ah ah—"

The rock block let out an octave-high scream, struggled a few times and then became silent.

Jiang Lian frowned and turned to look into the pit. He touched other rocks with scissors but there was no response. It seemed that he would only move after touching him.

He put his hand under the tip of his nose, and the bad smell was the same as he had caught before.

But the smell of this rock seems to be contaminated by other things, and he is a little uncertain whether this thing is dead or alive.

And why did the owner of the castle bury these things?

Jiang Lian was thinking about it when he saw a weapon fragment suddenly appeared on the panel of his backpack, which seemed to trigger a new explanation.

"Huh?" Jiang Lian opened it curiously.

[Low-level rock monster: After killing, it will drop weapon fragments*1, and all 10 pieces can be exchanged for low-level weapons. 】

Jiang Lian turned his head and saw that the monster he killed just now was gone, and the sickle was nailed to the ground alone.

It seems that it is a low-level rock monster.

The young man's eyes lit up: "It turns out that this is how weapons are obtained..."

Jiang Lian picked a convenient weapon from the tool box, and then hammered at the rocks in the pit. Not surprisingly, in this state, the rock monster seemed to have full defense, completely destroying it. no.

Jiang Lian sighed: "Oh, it's really troublesome."

Then, the boy put his hand into a pit of rock monsters and stirred them, and the rock monsters came to life, sticking them one by one like a dog skin plaster.

Jiang Lian's reaction was much faster than theirs. He quickly pulled out his hand, grabbed the hoe, and started hitting one by one. The rock monster was cut in half under the attack, and then it was broken into pieces and put into Jiang Lian's backpack. middle.

In the old castle, the butler who happened to pass by saw the new male servant working hard at the flower garden in the distance, and nodded with satisfaction.

——Unexpectedly, this kid is quite hardworking.
