Chapter 36 Report 02

It was the next day that Jiang Yuelu saw this text message.

He went to the company first. Although he could use the excuse of being ill to avoid socializing, he had only been in charge for a year and there were not many people inside and outside the company that he could trust. After sending the last email, it was already late at night. He walked through the empty company and returned to his empty home.

Took a short nap.

I was very nervous in the exam room and had to stay up late to do exams. I didn't sleep well for several days.

In order to facilitate communication with his assistant, Jiang Yuelu did not use a flip phone. In his mind, he had completed all the preparations he needed to make, and the next step was to find time to report.

Jiang Yuelu remembered this incident when she woke up the next day. She opened her phone and found out that the witchcraft world was in turmoil.

As we all know, the Witchcraft Academy only had one internal channel for enrollment at the beginning. The so-called internal channel refers to the seedlings cultivated by each family. For example, Lin Shenyin and his brother are the young generation sent to the academy by the Lin family. It has been like this for a long time, but now is different from the past. Witchcraft has declined, and large families have gradually merged into the real world. It is difficult for small families to survive, and the talent supply to the academy is gradually scarce.

So some people started to think about it.

After all, there are too few wizards! There are only a few families, and they count the number of wizards like squeezing toothpaste. The fundamental problem is that there are too few wizards, and the number of people available for the academy to choose from is also reduced.

Therefore, it is better to open your eyes and search for witches in the world. Once this idea was put forward, it was challenged in the academy. The traditional old pedant stroked his beard and said that it was not good, how could a witch at home be compared with a witch in the wild? Someone threw the records from ancient times to the present in his face, using data to prove that there is no shortage of rare talents in the wild, but only a lack of channels to come out of the world, and added a sentence "Sir, the times have changed a long time ago!"

...They argued like this for a year or two, and finally the dean and the four major colleges held a meeting, and the minority followed the majority to settle the matter.

So fifty years ago, the college began to send out admission letters and recruit students from outside.

At one time, countless people poured into the examination room, and there were not enough test papers. After another round of adjustment, the current entrance examination format was decided to use a large number of C-level test papers as the standard, and students who passed the examination could be admitted.

This has been the case for many years, but this year, an A-level exam suddenly appeared. How can I describe the difficulty? Let me put it this way, in some classes, there are only a few students who can pass the A-level exam before graduation!

Now, a copy of Paper A was placed in the examination room like a golden signboard, and the most bizarre thing was that someone actually passed. Even more outrageous was that someone checked the records and found that the "Paperman City" exam was for external rather than internal candidates, which means that the candidates were all ordinary people with zero professional knowledge - even so, three people passed? !

The news spread quickly and the entire witchcraft circle was in an uproar. Countless groups were set up at different levels to discuss the matter. It was said that even the four major families held high-level meetings and attached great importance to it.

But Jiang Yuelu, the instigator, was sleeping. When he read the news, his hair was still flying in the air.

Who told him these secrets?

Jiang Yuelu looked at her phone. Except for the system messages from the academy, all others came from the same person.

【Children's sleep?】

The other party replied in less than a second: [Damn, you are really capable, how did you guess it? ]

Jiang Yuelu was speechless.

【The text message has your name on it. 】

【……】

In essence, a mobile phone is still a student ID card, so it is more like a way of contact for real-name authentication and exchange. Jiang Yuelu thought of a very old but very fitting description - Renren Campus Network.

After chatting for a while, Jiang Yuelu found that this person was sneaky. He didn't know that Tong Mian's behavior of contacting students privately was considered abuse of power for personal gain. If the college knew about it, he would be criticized at the very least and his witch doctor license would be revoked at the worst. However, Tong Mian was obsessed, but not everyone could do it. This was the first time he had contacted students privately, purely because the temptation brought by Jiang Yuelu was too great.

How did the old test paper get upgraded to the new one, what happened, and how did Jiang Yuelu pass it? He really wanted to know!

[Master, what on earth did you experience in the Paper Man City? ]

[As far as I know, if the exam papers have been upgraded by more than two levels over the years, it is nothing more than the boss in the exam room being upgraded. Is this also the case with you? ]

[However, the boss of Paperman City was not very high-level to begin with. Even if he upgraded it to the highest level, it would only be a B. It was God's mercy that he gave it a B+. How did it become an A? I am so curious...]

Tong Mian kept talking, but when he found there was no response, he spoke weakly.

[Great God, are you still there? ]

Jiang Yuelu shook off the water on her hands and took the time to press twice: [In. ]

Then his phone started buzzing again. This time he didn't reply. There was only one day left for the report, so he had to hurry.

Jiang Yuelu rushed to the location with the materials and looked around the designated reporting location in the newsletter - Sunlight Plaza. As the name suggests, the sun shines all over the square at noon on a sunny day. Today was no different. Because it was too sunny, there were not many people.

He was suddenly bumped into by someone, and the materials in his hands fell to the ground.

"Sorry, there are too many people."

Are there a lot of people? I'm afraid it's just an excuse.

Jiang Yuelu took a quick glance and found that they were four people walking side by side, just like a crab rampaging. It was hard not to bump into people with this formation. After leaving a light apology, she didn't look at him again. The four of them crossed the square as if they were crossing an empty space, attracting many people's sidelong glances.

"Here you go." A lively boy helped him pick up the certificate that had fallen on the ground, "Is there anything missing?"

Jiang Yuelu shook her head, "Thank you."

"Huh? Are you here to report as well?"

Jiang Yuelu nodded.

His distant behavior was quickly interpreted as stiffness and immaturity, and the boy said happily, "Great, I'm alone too, so we can go to report together. Oh, I haven't been to the college yet! I don't know what it's like."

Hearing this, Big Claw (a name Jiang Yuelu gave to him without permission) of the four-member crab team walking in the front turned around and snorted contemptuously.

The boy lowered his voice: "Those people in front are also going to report. Hey! Don't look directly at them, they are different from us."

Jiang Yuelu asked: "What's the difference?"

"They got a perfect score! Do you know what a perfect score means?"

Jiang Yuelu said: "The concept of failing the test."

"Haha... this joke is not funny at all. That's 100 points... a score that many students dream of. Do you know how many points I got? 60, just barely above the passing line."

Jiang Yuelu said pertinently: "That is indeed a bit low."

“…”

After being choked twice, the boy said unconvincedly: "So how much did you score?"

"one thousand."

The boy looked like, "Are you crazy or am I crazy?"

Jiang Yuelu corrected herself and said, "No. Not one thousand."

The boy breathed a sigh of relief: "That's what I told you..."

"I miscalculated. It should be more than a thousand."

“…Stop joking around!”

Their friendship was broken before it even began. The boy stopped in front of the stone tablet with the words "Sunlight Square" engraved on it in front of the square, waved his hand and said, "Forget it, you continue to dream, I'm going to report first." As soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared from the spot.

Jiang Yuelu was not in a hurry to go in. Instead, he walked around with his hands behind his back.

Sunlight Square is full of sunlight. The trees and flower beds are all cast shadows under the light, but there is no shadow under this huge monument. It has nothing to do with time. In a day, from sunrise to sunset, only here there is no shadow.

It just happened to be the saying in the reporting location——

"In the vast wilderness, where the sun casts no shadow, you can look for witches, which is the way to get closer to the gods."

He stood where there was no shadow, and the sun and the moon moved in an instant.

The first thing that started to boil was the sound. Unlike the quiet square in the afternoon, the sound came from all directions as if it was crowded with people.

Jiang Yuelu opened his eyes and saw a brand new brick and stone square, all white, with stairs at the end that led to nowhere in the sky. The square was full of people, both men and women, some wearing traditional clothes, which looked like Taoist robes but not completely, and still retained some features he couldn't understand, such as the design of the waist and sleeves, which seemed to be improvements made for easier movement and easier to carry weapons. Some people were shirtless, using their torsos to offer sacrifices to the gods, with complex and ancient totemic spells carved on them.

There were also some people who dressed similarly to him.

But here, while being ordinary is not a bad thing, it is not a good thing either.

Those wizards sent by various families only interacted with people they were familiar with, and did not look at ordinary people like them. After the initial examination and evaluation, some strange levels also appeared among the ordinary students.

For example, the four-man rampant crab group. Jiang Yuelu saw them again.

They held their heads high and were surrounded by groups of people talking.

"Even the family witch looks down on me..."

"Isn't that natural? Their exams were the most difficult. The magic weapons and spells seemed to be useless. The top students sent by other families were all helpless. Only the four of them survived."

"If I could brag about this kind of record until next year!"

"You still say which exam paper is the hardest? Now we have the A-level paper."

"Do you believe it? I don't believe it anyway. There are very few people who can score 100 points, so how can there be someone who can score 1,000 points? It's too outrageous!"

Jiang Yuelu walked through the crowd and came to the sign-in area. There was a whole wall in front of him, like flowing red water rising and falling. Whenever someone walked by, it would consciously solidify. Jiang Yuelu saw several people smearing student cards on the wall, just like bricklayers plastering the wall. A red brick on the wall protruded and slowly became brighter. The student's personal ranking and score would be displayed one by one on the red brick.

He was relieved by this. It seemed more personal.

If everyone's grades and rankings were displayed like in modern society, it would do him no good. A tall tree attracts the wind, and the first bird to stick its head out gets shot. Jiang Yuelu is used to playing it safe and doesn't want to be pushed to the forefront.

He signed in without incident.

At this moment, a female voice suddenly sounded in the sky.

Crabs, totem people, and people in Taoist robes all raised their heads and looked toward the sky.

"All students have signed in. Next, we will proceed according to the procedure. Candidates will have a short rest in the academy. The opening ceremony will be held in three days."

The crowd slowly walked out, and Jiang Yuelu was also submerged in it.

After walking for a while, he heard a female voice calling his name helplessly.

"Candidate Jiang Yuelu, please stay where you are."

Jiang Yuelu was on full alert: "..."

"The top ten candidates need to stay here, and someone will meet you." She explained the reason. She had said it before, but Jiang Yuelu arrived too late and didn't hear about it.

"Brother Lu, is that Brother Lu?"

"Brother Lu, where are you?"

He suddenly heard Chen Chuan's voice.

Oops. He suddenly remembered that Chen Chuan and Zhao Xiaoxuan's scores also seemed to have risen sharply under his influence. How much was it... Jiang Yuelu really forgot about this matter. He didn't care about other people's scores.

But the female voice in the air told him considerately.

"Second place candidate, please don't make any noise here."

Oh my god, second place?

Doesn't that mean everyone is looking at him?

Are you looking for me too?

Jiang Yuelu cursed, which was rare. He planned to find a place to hide and wait out the period. However, the square was too bare, and he was discouraged after taking a look at it.

"He's number two?"

"Tied for second place. They all came from Paper Man City."

"I'm going to go to the A-level examination room?"

The way people looked at Chen Chuan changed, and they thought that this boy had a promising future and would become Master Chuan in the future. And the person who could be called Brother Lu by Master Chuan, could it be that -

"First place?"

"A thousand points test god?"

“Oh my god!!!”

The square was still for a moment, and then suddenly became lively.
