Chapter 26 Chapter 26
Under normal circumstances, the registration period for the national examination is usually about ten days. The Yao Bureau follows the same process as other positions in recruiting people, and naturally abides by the rules of the national examination.
Considering that a candidate can only take the exam once a year, it is important to weigh the number of competitors for the position applied for.
In order to increase their chances of passing the written test and not waste a year's opportunity, many experienced candidates will wait until the day before the registration system closes, observe the approximate number of applicants for each position, and then apply.
Sometimes, because everyone chooses the same strategy, the civil service exam registration system is overwhelmed and crashes on the last day, and the tragedy of candidates being unable to register also occurs from time to time.
Of course, this experience obviously does not apply to monsters.
They started signing up on the first day.
Unlike human job requirements that have many conditions, the conditions for recruiting monsters by the Monster Bureau this time are particularly simple:
As long as it's a demon and has no criminal record, that's enough.
According to the job list, not only the Monster Bureau Headquarters will recruit monsters, but the four major branches also have positions available for application, and the number of monsters recruited at one time is not small.
"Are they recruiting so many?" Seeing the number of recruits in Job List 20, it was the little demons' turn to become curious.
"I guess they should be recruited first and then assigned to various positions."
According to Ning Su, the entire Chinese demon bureau system, in addition to the headquarters and four branches in the southeast, northwest, northeast and southwest, also has several offices.
Perhaps every place needs fresh blood.
"I don't know how the Monster Bureau is doing its job since they haven't hired anyone for hundreds of years." Mi Gao couldn't help but complain.
The ginseng spirit coughed when he heard this - as the demon that knew the Demon Bureau best, it certainly couldn't say that the Demon Bureau had not been working for a long time.
Perhaps it is because the application threshold is low, but in just one day, the registration system has registered nearly four hundred candidates.
The application-to-admission ratio is twenty to one.
"So many monsters?" Although monsters can be seen everywhere on weekdays, the monsters themselves were shocked to see so many competitors on the first day.
"It's worthy of being part of the Monster Bureau's organization."
Ning Su successfully signed up, and also signed up for several familiar little monsters including the ginseng spirit, rice cake, and Xiao Zhou. After hearing the ginseng spirit's sigh, he couldn't help but take a look at the human post in the monster bureau.
The A City Monster Bureau only wanted to recruit one person for the human position, but 200 people signed up.
The application-to-admission ratio is 200 to 1.
Ning Su: ...Sorry for disturbing you. Goodbye.
Although it is the Monster Bureau's compilation file, it can never be better than humans.
What's more, among the 200 people who have registered, it is unknown how many of them are test-takers who have prepared for many years and fought for several exams.
Originally, looking at his test results, Ning Su was hesitating whether to apply for a human position, but now that things have come to this, he gave up the idea.
Why should you be the denominator when you can be the numerator?
Although becoming a demon changed the course of Ning Su's life, it was the first time he felt the benefits of being a demon.
At least we don’t have to compete on the same track with the human big guys.
After knowing this, Ning Su felt much calmer and focused on reviewing. Even the little demons focused their attention and started reviewing with him.
Seeing so many competitors, they can’t be surpassed by other monsters at this point, right?
Looking at the little demons in the room who came to study on their own initiative, Teacher Su couldn't help but nodded.
It's good to have this kind of steadiness.
There are a total of ten days for registration, but for the positions in the Monster Bureau, the number of applicants has not increased much after the fifth day and has remained at a level of three thousand.
This is probably the total number of all the candidates who took the exam this year.
"If we recruit twenty monsters, the total number of 3,000 applicants is actually not a lot." This inference is also based on the fact that there are few application conditions, but a large number of monsters participating in the exam review.
"Many demons probably can't be reported."
Logically speaking, the Monster Bureau issued this announcement very early, and all the little monsters who should know about it probably knew about the Monster Bureau's recruitment.
However, there is still a big gap between reality and imagination.
The monsters are everywhere, and some are even hiding in the deep mountains and forests. Even if there is a notification from the Monster Bureau, they still don't take notice, which means they have completely bid farewell to this exam.
In addition to the monsters that did not participate at all, there are many other types of monsters.
One type is those who have set their ambition to take the exam and have indeed reviewed. However, the road to preparation is so difficult that many young demons fail halfway.
This situation is undoubtedly the most common.
After all, not every demon can find a good study method like Ning Su and others and truly enter the state of preparing for the exam.
What's more, learning itself has never been a happy thing. This is really against the nature of these little demons who start from the perspective of happiness in everything.
Apart from that, there are those who entered the review state but ultimately failed to pass the exam.
These monsters either missed the application deadline subjectively, or objectively did not have the material conditions to apply.
For example, some monsters with owners need to sneak out of their homes to apply for the exam, and they also need computers, the Internet and other fixed conditions.
Moreover, the Monster Bureau issued a monster ID card to each monster, but this certificate needs to be reviewed every fifty years. Many monsters’ certificates failed to be reviewed, so naturally they could not apply for the exam.
These monsters felt that it was unfair and went to the Monster Bureau to make trouble, but were finally persuaded to go back.
"Don't be in a hurry, there will be many opportunities later."
In order to prevent the monsters from dismantling the Monster Bureau, the employees of the Monster Bureau also spontaneously mastered the art of "drawing big pictures".
Of course there are plenty of opportunities.
As for which year to recruit again? It depends on the situation.
The little devils were not yet accustomed to this ugly set of workplace rhetoric and thought they could take the exam next year, so they all returned happily.
After bidding farewell to these trouble-making ancestors, the Demon Bureau finally breathed a sigh of relief.
How much workload does an exam add to myself!
In short, no matter what the reason was or what happened, on the day when the registration system was closed, there were a total of 3,210 demon commanders who had successfully registered and been reviewed.
With so many monsters participating, even if only twenty monsters finally come ashore, it can be regarded as a major event in the monster world.
At least when the Demon Bureau held a meeting the next day, the leader had already started bragging about it.
"Dare to recruit talents and attract the attention of the entire demon world. This is the spirit of our Demon Bureau!"
"The following procedures must be completed well, so that the entire demon world can feel our professionalism and ability."
The leader expressed some opinions on the stage. The staff who were responsible for persuading those monsters who did not sign up to go home were exhausted and could not help rolling their eyes when they heard his words.
Why weren't you here when we were working?
There is no difference between humans and monsters when it comes to the complaints about stupid leaders, but for the monsters who have registered for the exam, before and after registration are definitely two different stages.
After all, after successfully registering, there is only one month left until the actual written test.
Registration ends on October 25th, and you will enter the examination hall directly on November 20th and 21st.
The demons who were preparing for the exam calculated with their fingers and became more or less anxious.
According to Ning Su's observation, in the past few days, he has noticed that the ginseng spirit's whiskers have become fewer. When it is nervous, the ginseng spirit will pinch its whiskers one by one.
There are a total of one thousand whiskers, and more than ten of them have fallen off in the past few days alone.
"...Are you okay?" Ning Su asked with concern, "How about taking a rest for two days?"
After becoming familiar with the ginseng spirit, Ning Su understood the characteristics of the ginseng spirit. Its roots represent its own cultivation, and can also fix the earth spirit and moonlight absorbed by the ginseng.
The more roots you have, the higher your cultivation level will be.
Just like the ginseng spirit that pulls out its own roots when it is nervous, this is obviously a way of relieving anxiety by hurting itself.
"Is it worth it?" Ning Su asked.
You may not be able to get the job, but the skills you have lost are definitely lost.
But on second thought, Ning Su also understood the ginseng spirit's dilemma to some extent - after all, when humans face tension and anxiety, they can't help but do some addictive things that cannot be understood rationally.
Thinking of this, Ning Su silently ordered a cup of milk tea for himself.
As the written test gets closer, the anxiety hidden deep in my heart becomes more uncontrollable, and the more I want to find other ways to relieve it.
Even someone like Ningsu, who can secure 70 points and chase 80 points in the practical test, is like this, not to mention the other little demons.
At the end of October, a trend suddenly blew up on the websites of the little demons, and many demons clamored for the opening of a demon market.
If the monster bureau doesn't allow it, they will open it themselves.
——The reason why they ask for permission from the Monster Bureau is because the Monster Bureau has done well in registration recently and has gained some credibility. Otherwise, the little monsters would not even pay attention to the Monster Bureau.
It is impossible that the Monster Bureau, which monitors public opinion, has not noticed this trend. However, opening a monster market is not against the law. In addition, given the threats in the words of the little monsters, it is impossible for the Monster Bureau to refuse openly.
As a result, demon markets in various places began to open one after another.
The Monster Fair in City A was scheduled for the Saturday a few days later.
"What is the Monster Market?" Ning Su asked curiously after hearing the news.
As a new demon, he naturally didn't understand what this thing was.
"It's a demon market, with stalls selling things."
Although the human market has moved to the Internet in recent years, various supermarkets and street stalls are still common, and the same is true for exchanges between monsters.
"This demon market hasn't been open for hundreds of years." The ginseng spirit added.
The reason why the wind in the demon city can blow at this time is obviously because of this exam.
“Everyone wants to take shortcuts.”
After all, unlike humans who just review honestly, the little demons who have some unique methods will naturally not think of no solutions at all.
"What shortcut?" Now it was Ning Su's turn to be curious.
"Selling elixirs - this is very common, so I won't talk about it."
The world is so vast that there are all kinds of wonders. The monsters all have more or less some spiritual objects that can promote memory and improve comprehension, including Yuehua and the ginseng spirit's ginseng whiskers. Ning Su and other monsters have been using them for a long time.
"Besides that, there are some other techniques."
Worried that Ning Su would have trouble understanding, the ginseng spirit used magic as an example -
For example, some monsters master the art of illusion, and can review and consolidate what they learned during the day when they enter a dream.
Compared to arduous learning, this method is obviously simpler and more effective.
At this critical moment, some monsters can make a lot of money by selling this magic.
Having said that, even Ning Su felt a little moved.
He didn't want to take a shortcut and buy something from the Demon Market, but according to the ginseng spirit, the Demon Market only comes once every hundred years, and if he missed this time, he wouldn't know when the next one would be.
"Ning Su, let's go."
Migao obviously thought the same thing, and at this point, he even started to act coquettishly, and Xiaozhou couldn't walk after hearing that.
"Let's sell some things in the Monster Market." While speaking, the ginseng spirit even took out its own roots.
It also wanted to take this opportunity to sell its extra ginseng whiskers in the Monster Market.
Is selling public exams related?
Thinking of this, Ning Su also had some ideas in his mind.
"I'll go find Tang Erbao."
Who is this?
"That's the fox demon."
"...I told you not to call me Tang Erbao!"
Since he had made up his mind and time was quite tight, Ning Su did not delay and quickly contacted the fox demon.
Ever since the last incident at Green Shade Park, the fox demon had established contact with the Demon Bureau and actually bought some elixirs from the Demon Bureau.
Although he signed a contract with the Monster Bureau and was forced to hand over many treasures and work for the Monster Bureau for several years, the fox demon was still in a good mood.
Even though Ning Su called him "Tang Erbao", he just complained and was not angry.
Just two weeks ago, during a physical examination at the hospital, the doctor's results showed that his mother's condition remained stable.
Although it cannot be cured, as long as it can be maintained, it is already the best news.
So, when Ning Su found its contact information and wanted to discuss a cooperation, the fox demon simply gave him an invitation.
"Come on, no need to bring any gifts."
When the invitation was sent home, Ning Su took a look and found that it was a banquet hosted by Tang Songzhi for his mother.
This photo of Ning Su is VVIP.
"My mother and my brother both know you, just come."
The bottle of moonlight that Ning Su had given to the fox demon did leave a good impression on him.
Having said that, although the host said that he didn't need to bring gifts, Ning Su still brought something when he went to the party.
He exchanged the ginseng beard from the ginseng spirit and added a feather that Cuifeng had given him as a pendant.
This pendant not only looks colorful and beautiful, but also has the ability to make the body light. For the elderly, it can not only protect themselves but also prevent falls.
One gift was a tonic, and the other was to prevent accidents. Both gifts were for the elderly, and it had to be said that they touched the fox demon's heart.
"My name is Tang Shi, don't call me by my nickname." In consideration of the two gifts, the fox demon finally told Ning Su's name at the subsequent party and kept him by her side.
Exchanging names means we become friends.
As it turned out, this was a banquet held by a wealthy man. Even though it was not a big event, the people who came were still either rich or noble.
Among the familiar faces, Ning Su, who followed behind Tang Shi, naturally attracted the attention of others.
"It is said that the person he followed was the second son of the Tang family."
With the lesson from Zhou Jingyi last time, and the clear path from the Monster Bureau, the Tang family no longer concealed Tang Shi's identity -
Instead of hiding it and letting people speculate, it is better to say it directly.
Although the incident involving Zhou Jingyi was ultimately caused by Tang Shi going crazy, it was also evidence that he had been out of touch with society for a long time.
How can a demon be so innocent? Although he has many abilities, the old mother and Tang Songzhi are still worried about their baby.
"It's so noisy."
To the guests, their whispers were just low voices, but to Ning Su and Tang Shi's ears, it was no less than speaking loudly in front of them.
"It doesn't matter, they can say whatever they want."
Speaking of which, this was not the first time Ning Su had attended such a gathering, but before, as an outsider, he always stayed quietly aside with the group.
Sometimes, even if guests come to chat with them because they see they have good looks, they just have other ideas in mind.
Ning Su usually treats this situation with a cold face.
After a long time, other people also knew that he had a bad temper and no longer dared to talk to him.
But because of this, Ning Su was also scolded a lot by his agent.
"These are all opportunities for socializing. Who are you giving the cold shoulder to?"
Ning Su thought he was a bad-tempered person and didn't pay much attention to socializing. But today, when he followed Tang Shi, he unexpectedly discovered that he didn't have low emotional intelligence.
Tang Shi completely ignored people he didn't know and didn't give any face to anyone.
He ignored people who came to chat with him and just walked past them.
As if aware of Ning Su's curious gaze, Tang Shi shrugged: "We are all human beings who will be buried in the ground in a few decades. What is there to socialize with?"
For the big demons, their long life is their advantage. Many annoying humans die while they are still alive, and they don't even need to take revenge on them.
"You are also a great demon, can you be tougher?"
Tang Shi was very disappointed with his friend.
Perhaps it was because the second son of the Tang family always brought Ning Su with him, so when the others saw that they couldn’t strike up a conversation with Tang Shi, they came to Ning Su to chat.
Ning Su naturally ignored it.
However, compared to Tang Shi, the mysterious second young master, Ning Su's identity was much easier to uncover. Soon, many people found out his identity.
A boy band idol who has retired.
He made his debut with a hit song.
This resume might have some value in the eyes of ordinary people, but those who can attend the gathering here are all bigwigs from various industries.
In comparison, Ning Su's resume is not impressive enough.
"What are you showing off for? You're just a small star." After being turned down by Young Master Tang, he lost face and couldn't complain to his master, so he picked on the weak and started to scold Ning Su.
Tang Shi frowned, and with the big monster's temper, he was about to take action.
Ning Su quickly stopped him and released his evil spirit silently.
After a while, the gossipy guest suddenly started shouting, shrieking, wriggling, and crawling in the dark on the floor like a monkey.
Tang Shi was stunned.
Not only did he discover that Ning Su had learned his skills, but also because of Ning Su's torturous creativity.
He suddenly became interested: "How did you come up with this idea?"
That’s too damaging.
Ning Su was also a little confused. He didn't do anything else but just aroused the other person's deepest desires.
Who would have thought that this chatterbox guest, dressed like a decent human being, actually wanted to be a crazy monkey?
After this episode, even the guests who were interested in Tang Shi and Ning Su and wanted to get to know them gave up.
These two look like they are not easy to mess with!
Fortunately, not long after, the host and the birthday boy appeared, and the others' attention was diverted.
However, they soon realized that it was right for them to retreat - fortunately they didn't say anything nonsense!
After the old lady and Tang Songzhi arrived, they didn't bother to greet other friends, but instead greeted Ning Su first.
"Don't be restrained when you come, have fun."
Tang Songzhi knew that Ning Su was also a great demon, so he spoke very politely.
"You are Xiao Ning, right?" Compared to Tang Songzhi's sense of propriety, the old lady was much more at ease and directly grabbed Ning Su's hand.
"Come, let me see."
When the old lady found out that Ning Su was also a demon, she breathed a sigh of relief - she was afraid that after she and Tang Songzhi left, there would be no one to accompany Erbao.
Now it seems that although Erbao is confused, he has made new friends.
Seeing this, the other guests who had other ideas were all sweating profusely - fortunately they did not say anything wrong.
On the other side, Hai Yu was numb after seeing this scene.
He came with another artist brought by his agent to get a free invitation. He arrived a little late and missed the gathering earlier.
That was why he was so shocked when he saw the old lady of the Tang family holding Ning Su with one hand and Tang Shi with the other hand in public.
He was so shocked that he immediately took out his cell phone and sent a message to his friends to complain.
"I finally understand why my brother retired from the entertainment industry and is no longer in a hurry to find a job."
Of course, this is because the company and the boss are disgusting, but isn’t marrying into a wealthy family one of the reasons?
