264. Leave.
"Lost land qualification?"
"You really dare to speak."
The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes and looked at Xu Zhi straight in the eye for the first time.
"Even in the inner courtyard, only the top few students in each class can compete for the Lost Land qualification."
The implication is that why should Xu Zhi get a "recommended admission" qualification for nothing? After all, the conditions originally offered by Guangming Academy were already generous enough, and adding a recommended admission qualification was really too much.
Although the middle-aged man spoke politely, his attitude was obviously firm, which meant that it was impossible for him to make such a promise.
Xu Zhi felt a little regretful, so she settled for the next best thing: "Can you guarantee that I will be able to compete for the qualification to go to the Lost Land in the Inner Court?"
She could tell from the other party's words that even if she participated in the competition, there seemed to be certain conditions. Since she couldn't get it for free, she should at least get the entry ticket first.
Moreover, this can better show her desire for the lost land.
The other party did not answer him immediately, but hesitated for a while, and seemed to contact someone before saying, "Okay, we promise you."
"But it's just a qualification you strive for. Whether you can get it depends entirely on you."
To be honest, although the qualification to fight for is also important, he doesn't think Xu Zhi can stand out from it, so this ticket seems insignificant.
"Since we have reached a cooperation agreement, from now on, Miss Xu will be a student of our Guangming Academy."
"Pack your things and follow me to the upper level tomorrow morning."
After the man finished speaking, Xu Zhi immediately said, "Can my sister go with me?"
"Of course, I will arrange accommodation for you as promised. You can let her live with you, and Guangmingyuan will also handle your household registration."
Compared to the disappointment Xu Zhi mentioned before, bringing an ordinary person is really a trivial request, and even if Xu Zhi didn't mention it, they would not let this "sister" go like this.
If Xu Zhi returned to the slums at this moment, he would find that the scavengers who witnessed the tragic scene on the streets that morning had almost all disappeared quietly.
People coming from the upper level are "cleaning" the lower level. Soon, this place will return to its previous appearance, except that some unimportant scavengers will disappear.
The man talked to Xu Zhi a little about the arrangements after reaching the upper level, and then the two separated.
Xu Zhi knew that the news of her joining Guangming Academy would probably spread immediately after she left. It didn't matter to her. It was the same for her which faction she joined. It was just a stepping stone and they could use each other. As long as she could survive for the time being, the resources that Guangming Academy promised to give her would not be available until she enrolled. As long as she had enough resources, she would be able to recover soon.
After returning to the tent, she told Qi Yanxin the "good news". Compared to moving here from home, this time she needed to bring less things to the upper level.
At least, Qi Yanxin no longer needed to carry the equipment he used for scavenging and the things from the factory. He didn't need to say goodbye to anyone, and he didn't have to take too many belongings with him. In just an hour, he had almost packed up everything.
When it was time to leave, Xu Zhi didn't feel anything, but Qi Yanxin looked a little dazed. She had never thought that one day she would really be able to leave the bottom floor and go to the upper area, and all this was because she picked up a seriously injured girl on a rainy night.
It was still gloomy and drizzling outside, but because the sky above the garrison was blocked by the huge aircraft, the rain did not fall here. Only the unique industrial smell of the lower level mixed with the smell of soil wet by rain blew in through the window. Qi Yanxin looked at the outside world in a daze, wondering in his heart, is this the last time he will smell this smell?
Early the next morning, someone knocked on the tent door. A soldier in upper-level military uniform opened the door. He explained his purpose and urged, "We will soon be setting sail back to the upper level. Please follow me as soon as possible."
Xu Zhi had no attachment to this place, while Qi Yanxin was more melancholy, but it was not a feeling of reluctance to leave. After all, the bottom floor was not a good place for people to feel nostalgic for.
The two of them didn't have to make the soldiers wait long. Qi Yanxin had already carried the packed luggage on his back and pushed Xu Zhi out of the tent.
When she was in the slums, her home, although narrow and dilapidated, contained many things she had saved up. Now that she was leaving, all she needed to take could be put into a backpack.
The two followed the soldiers into the interior of the huge aircraft. Since it was Qi Yanxin's first time here, although she had tried to restrain herself from looking around, she still couldn't avoid the occasional hint of curiosity and amazement in her eyes. Xu Zhi, on the other hand, seemed much calmer.
Their room was on the second floor, and when they followed the soldiers to the room, they happened to pass by the clinic.
The doctor seemed to be very free at the moment, with the door of her clinic wide open. She looked at Xu Zhi and gave her a friendly smile when she passed by.
It seems that she was not affected by the fact that Xu Zhi did not choose the forces behind her.
Come to think of it, even if Xu Zhi didn't choose them in the end, she had already made an agreement with Xu Zhi in advance and they would meet again later.
"Your fingerprints have been recorded in advance on the door. It will take about two hours to get back to the fifth floor. I will pick you up after we arrive. Please do not move around or leave the room during these two hours. If you need anything, you can call me through the phone in the room."
After giving the instructions, the soldier watched Xu Zhi and Qi Yanxin enter the room before leaving.
The fingerprints were recorded in advance, but there was no action to extract the fingerprints. Their information and the required fingerprints were collected silently. Now they were told this openly, which made it clear that they wanted to be honest.
"This room is so spacious." After putting his backpack away, Qi Yanxin looked around and felt a little emotional.
"Yes." Xu Zhi nodded. The temporary room was more than twice as big as the house in the slum where they lived, and it was clean and bright.
"I wonder what the house we'll live in will look like when we get up there."
Qi Yanxin was obviously a little uncertain about the future, but she was not afraid. After all, the only thing that scared her now was being abandoned by Xu Zhi. But as long as that didn't happen and she could stay with Xu Zhi, she would be fine no matter where she went.
"Guangmingyuan shouldn't be stingy. I guess at least it will be bigger than this room, right?"
Xu Zhi observed the equipment in the room and responded casually.
This aircraft not only has an appearance, but also has many things in its interior rooms that she has never seen in the Federation. It has a strong sense of technology, and there are many things that she and Qi Yanxin don't know how to use. Xu Zhi, on the other hand, can't sit still and touches things everywhere, fiddling with these things she doesn't understand. Qi Yanxin, on the other hand, sits cautiously aside and is not too curious.
"But are we going directly to the fifth floor?" She sighed, and Xu Zhi paused for a moment.
"yes."
He actually skipped the sixth floor and went straight to the fifth floor. He didn't know what the city above was like.
I was watching a game, so I wrote this a little late.
