Most of the students at Shengshui Middle School live on campus. Some who live off campus go through the school’s south gate, while outsiders like Qiao Sang who are not from the school all go through the north gate.
The north gate was closed and the guard in the security room had not yet arrived at work.
Qiao San checked the time for the nth time.
8:52.
There are only 28 minutes left until 9:20 am, the time for gathering for the special recruitment exam at Shengshui Middle School.
There was no one passing by the huge north gate except Qiao Sang and Huoya Dog.
Qiao Sang couldn't help but yawn sleepily.
If I had known, I would have stayed in bed and not come so early...
8:58.
Eight black spots appeared in the sky from far to near, and soon landed in front of the north gate, raising dust on the ground.
Qiao Sang tried hard to open his sleepy eyes.
There are eight black-billed finches, each about 2 meters in size.
Its beak is as black as its entire body feathers, and it has a pair of beautiful black doodles, making it easy to identify.
I saw six men and two women coming down from the eight black-billed sparrows one after another, and they all looked about the same age as her.
"Hello, the total is 8,000 Alliance Coins." said the man on the back of one of the black-billed finches.
"We quoted the group purchase price." A girl with a bob haircut and a red headband said anxiously.
The man looked at his companion next to him to ask if this was true.
The companion nodded and said, "Yes, we quoted the group purchase price."
"That's 7222 Alliance Coins," the man said.
"Can you give us a better discount? We can call you again when we go back later." asked the tallest of the six boys.
"Please pay this time first." The man did not answer directly.
Now that things have come to this, of course I’ll give the money first.
After paying, the tallest boy asked, "How much discount can I get if I call you guys later?"
"No," the man replied.
"What?" The tallest boy was confused.
"No discount." The man answered him again.
Everyone: “…”
…
While this group of people were chatting and trading, Qiao Sang had already entered Shengshui Middle School with the Fire Fang Dog.
At exactly 9 o'clock, the security guard came out of the school and opened the door.
Just going to work on time...
Following the route given on the official website of Shengshui Middle School, Qiao Sang arrived at venue No. 3.
There were only four teachers on the field, and compared with the Hangzhou-Hong Kong Sixth Beast Taming Middle School, they didn't seem to take this special recruitment competition seriously.
"Teacher, I'm here to take the exam." Qiao Sang walked over and said.
"ID card." Sun Bo was also concise.
Qiao Sang took out his ID card and handed it over.
"Qiao Sang, from Wencheng Junior High School?" Sun Boyi lowered his head and confirmed the ID card and information.
"Yeah." Qiao Sang replied.
Sun Boyi ticked a box behind Qiao Sang's name on the paper and said, "Go sit over there first and start when everyone is gathered." Then he returned the ID card.
When Qiao Sang came to the side, Qin Wen said with interest: "This girl actually contracted a fire-fang dog."
"People who awaken on their own are so conceited. Aren't there many people who contract some difficult-to-control pet beasts as their first one? Didn't Lu You, who was admitted to our school this time, also contract a small dragon?" Zheng Guoping disagreed.
Qin Wen rolled her eyes secretly.
Can this be the same?
The temperament of the little dragon is much better than that of the fire dog, but because it is a dragon-type pet, the price is too expensive and few people are willing to contract it.
One relied on courage to contract the Fire Fang Dog, and the other relied on money to contract the Little Dragon. How are they the same? However, Zheng Guoping was a difficult person to talk to, and he would get angry at the slightest provocation. She was too lazy to argue with him about this.
After a few minutes, several people who had just gotten off the black-billed sparrow outside the north gate walked into the venue and lined up to verify their identities.
The girl with a bob haircut and a headband who verified her identity first looked around, then came to sit next to Qiao Sang and said familiarly, "You are also taking the exam, why didn't you come with us?"
A strong enemy.
Qiao Sang was confused, "Why should I come with you? Do I know you?"
The girl with the bob haircut was surprised: "Didn't you see the message in the group?"
Qiao Sang was even more confused. "What group? What news?"
"It's the group that all special students need to join under the official website of Shengshui Middle School." The girl with the bob haircut explained, "Didn't we agree in the group to meet at the intersection of Oujie Street?"
Qiao Sang was silent for a while, then said, "I didn't add..."
The girl with the bob haircut: “…”
"That's not right. There are 9 specially recruited students in the group. If it's not you, who else could be the remaining one?" the girl with the bob haircut asked doubtfully.
I don’t know who said in the group that the masters always appear last, and then everyone in the group said that they would be the last one to arrive.
Li Yang, the tallest boy, later stood up and suggested that everyone get together and arrive together when the exam is approaching.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
Everyone in the group awakened on their own.
There are 5 special recruitment places for Shengshui Middle School this time. We may even be studying in the same school in the future, so there is no objection to getting to know each other in advance and building a good relationship.
So everyone decided on Li Yang's proposal.
There is only one minute left until 9:20, and including the girl in front of me, there are exactly nine people, so everyone should be here.
Are there 10 people being specially recruited this time?
The girl with the bob haircut was about to say something when a startling cry suddenly came from behind her.
Turning around, I saw a four-legged flying pet with a long and thin tail. Its body was mostly blue, except for its wings which were gray-black. Its body was covered with a thick shell and appeared in the sky 3 or 4 meters above the ground.
It's a Karst Eagle, a high-level pet.
Zheng Guoping frowned as he looked at the Jiejia Eagle. Their Shengshui Middle School did not allow foreign pets to enter. Just as he was about to step forward to stop it, he saw a figure jumping down from the back of the Jiejia Eagle.
"Dad, you go first." The boy who jumped down waved his hand and said.
The man riding on the back of the Jiejia eagle nodded, and then the Jiejia eagle flew away.
"Teacher, am I not late?" The boy walked up to the teachers and asked.
"Lu Liangye, right? You're the only one left. You calculated the timing pretty well. If you had waited another two seconds, it would have been too late." Zheng Guoping said sarcastically.
Lu Liangye smiled but said nothing, his eyes unconsciously glancing at the other candidates.
Except for Qiao Sang, everyone else understood what he meant.
How about that? The masters are always the last to appear!
Everyone: “…”
Damn it! He tricked me!
Sun Boyi clapped his hands and gathered everyone together, then said, "Now that everyone is here, let's start the exam."
"Everyone knows the exam rules, I'll explain them again."
"Ten people, two in a group. The five winners take a break first, and the other five losers decide on a winner. Together with the original five winners, there will be a total of six people."
"These six people are divided into three groups. The winners will take the top three. The three losers will compete to eliminate one person. The remaining five people will be qualified for special recruitment by our Shengshui Middle School."
Got it.
To put it bluntly, it depends on luck.
If you run into a strong opponent when you start playing in pairs, you can only consider yourself unlucky.
After all, four out of the five people who lose at the beginning will be eliminated.
"In order to be fair, we draw lots. There are two cards for numbers 1 to 5. If you draw the same, you will automatically form a group." Qin Wen said as she took out a wooden box.
Soon everyone had drawn their lots.
"Let's start with number 1. Who drew number 1?" Qin Wen asked.
"It's me." Lu Liangye raised his eyebrows and showed the note in his hand.
"Who is the other No. 1?" Qin Wen continued to ask.
At this moment, a white hand was raised.
"I."
It's Joe Sang.
