Chapter 24 How many legs does a sheep have?
Harold took the list of candidates from Kavi, who recorded in detail each person's college, specialty, age and other information, and even drew a lifelike portrait of each person at the back of the information.
The painting skills are really amazing.
Harold admired them with the eyes of a graphic designer and could not help but marvel at them. If it were in his previous life, these casual sketches of Kavi would have won a big prize in any art academy.
These portraits also indirectly show that Kavi cares about these people and he really wants to save them.
Harold looked through the list of people one by one. Kavi had already screened them, and the people who remained were not ranked low in their respective colleges. Most of them were in the lower-middle or upper-middle positions, which meant that if someone helped them, they would be able to graduate successfully.
No wonder Kavi is so conflicted.
Harold couldn't help but sigh. Senior Kavi was such an angel. If only his mentor in his previous life had been one tenth as kind as Kavi.
Kavi's smile is definitely the most healing thing he has ever seen since he came into this world. Whether it is towards him or others, the friendly light that Kavi radiates is simply a treasure.
If Kavi is not considered a good person, then there are no good people in this world.
He dared to say that the kindness of himself, his current mentor Zacharias, and Azar combined was not as high as that of Kavi alone.
Thinking of some of the Kavi haters he saw in his previous life, Harold really wanted to go back in time, jump in front of them along the Internet cable, and use "Sumeru Ancient Characters" to beat them to a pulp.
Such a cute and kind Kavi is black, are you still human?
We, the members of the Caring Kawi Association, are determined to protect the best Kawi seniors until our death!
Harold flipped through the list quickly, and suddenly, his hand paused as he flipped the stack of papers.
Who is this?
Siraj?
How come he submitted the application?
Siraj is the villain in the legendary quest of El Haisen, and Harold was also impressed by him.
I believe that everyone who has done the legendary mission of Brother Hai will remember him. He is a hidden and radical leader of Brother Hai. He turned from a fan to a hater because he was angry that he could not get the love of El Haisen. Later, he still couldn't forget Brother Hai. While promoting the progress of "cluster consciousness", he also found a tool man to harass El Haisen.
In the end, Elhaisen broke down after just a few words, and questioned Elhaisen in front of the travelers why he never looked at him as an equal.
...
Looking at Kavi's portrait again, the precarious hairline and square face are definitely Siraj himself.
Siraj, you, a researcher of beehives, want to join the society that studies the Red King?
Are you trying to study the Red King?! I'm embarrassed to point it out to you.
Harold flipped through a few pages and saw another old acquaintance.
Abatoi.
An NPC that appears among the legendary characters of Tinari. He is Tinari's junior. He was expelled from the House of the Decree for researching mechanical life. Even so, he still did not give up. He chose to hide in the rainforest and conduct research secretly. However, due to the loss of his source of income and the financial assistance from the House of the Decree, he could only live frugally, even saving as much as possible on his own medical expenses. In the end, he died of illness.
However, he did create Kakata, a mechanical life form with independent thinking, whose abilities are remarkable.
But why would you, a scholar obsessed with the study of mechanical life forms, think of participating in a society dedicated to the study of the Red King?
Could it be that he was attracted by the self-regulatory mechanism in the Red King technology? He wanted to take this opportunity to apply the words of the Red King self-regulatory mechanism to the research of creating mechanical life?
If that were the case, he, Kavi, and Elhaisen might have inadvertently become accomplices in helping Abatoi commit the six root sins.
Harold found this a bit tricky.
Siraj, Abatoi...
The society run by senior Kawi really attracted a lot of "talents"...
Harold threw a stack of lists aside. The interviews were urgent and all these people had to be dealt with as soon as possible.
...
Now they have to face an old problem again. At present, Xumi has no communication equipment, and Harold has no way to notify these people to come for the interview.
What should I do?
Harold simply posted a notice in the void, and then posted one on the bulletin board in front of the Academy of the Church. The interview time was set at one o'clock tomorrow afternoon, and the location was in an empty classroom in Amyrido College.
As for how many people can see the list, that is not within his jurisdiction.
What could he do? He had no phone or QQ or WeChat. He was just an innocent scholar who had just joined the Faithful Order. He had few connections and few friends. Posting two notices was the most appropriate solution he could come up with.
Missed the interview because you didn't see the notice?
What does this have to do with me? It's not like I didn't get notified. Can't those who didn't see the announcement reflect on their own problems? Why did everyone else see it but you didn't? Are you paying attention to our progress? If you were, how could you have missed it?
Really. Don't always blame others, reflect on yourself. After so many years, why haven't you developed the habit of reading the notice board of the Ministry of Education?
...
...
If you want to join senior Kavi's society, there will be an interview at 1:00 p.m. on the 12th in the classroom of Ami Rido College.
The 12th? Isn't that today?!
Heinie opened her eyes wide and read the notice on the bulletin board in front of the church again.
It really is this afternoon! The interview will start in one hour!
The girl with beautiful long brown hair felt a complex emotion of nervousness and joy in her heart. She was extremely glad that she took a look at the billboard when she passed by it today, otherwise she might have missed the interview information, and she would have no chance to join Senior Kavi's society.
At the same time, she was very happy to screen people through interviews, especially since the interview information was posted on the bulletin board. There must be many people who didn't even know that the interviews had started, and some people who knew about the interviews would definitely find it troublesome and give up the opportunity.
This actually eliminated half of her competitors.
And if there is an interview, does it mean that she can talk to Senior Kawi face to face?
Ahhhhh, this is so exciting, she has been waiting for this moment for a long time.
Heinie excitedly trotted into the bathroom, opened her bag, took out lipstick and foundation, and put on some makeup to make herself look more radiant and attractive.
After putting on her makeup, she adjusted her hairstyle and winked at the person in the mirror: Henrietta, you look so beautiful today!
There was still half an hour before the interview started, so Heiniye simply went to sit in the pavilion near the Church Order Institute. She couldn't show too nervous, and she couldn't look at the information about the Red King that she had prepared long ago, as that might attract other people's attention.
What if someone who didn't see the interview information saw her behavior and found out something? Wouldn't that add more competitors to her?
It was not until 1:05 in the afternoon that Heinie finally arrived at the interview location.
The timing was just right; other scholars should have already gone in, and she might be able to learn the specific content of the interview questions from them.
"What kind of stupid question is that?! Tell me, if ten sheep don't have forty legs, then how many legs do they have?!"
A roar came from the classroom, and Heinie was startled. The next moment, she saw a scholar slamming the door and walking out with an angry face.
"This man... please wait a moment," Heinie calmed herself down and went to talk to him.
"What's the matter?!"
The black-haired scholar was obviously still angry, and his words were full of anger, but when he saw Heinie's beautiful face, his anger suddenly subsided, and he spoke in a soft voice: "Are you also a scholar who came to apply to join the society?"
"Yes, this topic interests me very much, and I really want to join this society. Have you just talked to Senior Kavi? Could you please reveal some interview questions?" said Heinie.
"But the person who interviewed us was not Senior Kavi. He said he was a member of Senior Kavi's Society," the black-haired scholar lowered his voice, "He was someone I had never met. I suspect he just wanted to find a reason not to let us join the society and deliberately asked such strange questions. Does Senior Kavi know that he did this?"
Yes, using interviews to screen people is not like Senior Kavi’s style.
Heinie felt like someone had suddenly poured a bucket of cold water on her, and her original excitement was gone.
"What strange questions did he ask?" Heinie asked persistently.
"It was fine at first, just normal questions like 'what are your hobbies', 'what subjects are you good at', 'why do you want to join our society', but in the end he asked me 'a sheep has four legs, how many legs do ten sheep have?' I said 'forty', and then he said I was not qualified to join this society!"
Speaking of this, the black-haired scholar's anger was ignited again, and he raised his voice slightly: "I don't understand, does the question he asked have anything to do with studying the Red King?! And ten sheep don't have forty legs, so how many legs do they have?"
"Yeah, you are just trying to embarrass me on purpose," Heinie nodded approvingly, but in her heart she was thinking about how to answer this question.
There must be a correct answer. As long as I can solve this problem, I can join Senior Kawi's society.
This may be a crossword puzzle, a logical reasoning question, or it may require some statistical knowledge...
I must be able to use some knowledge to solve it. I should be able to do it. I just thought of an idea, but why can't I figure it out...
Heinie brainstormed, trying to apply everything she had learned in the past ten years.
"By the way... classmate, which college are you from? I'm from Ridovanti College, my name is..."
Heinie was immersed in her own world and didn't listen to what the black-haired scholar next to her said.
At this time, a short-haired scholar wearing glasses walked over here. Hearing the black-haired scholar's approach, he couldn't help but smile contemptuously, then ignored the two of them and went straight into the classroom.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Harold looked up.
Oh, Siraj you are here.
"Is it you?" Siraj frowned slightly when he saw Harold sitting in the first row of the classroom.
"You know me?" Harold was a little surprised.
Siraj: "Friend of Elhaisen, I heard that you recently received research funds approved by the Great Sage himself. Although I heard that you joined the society when it was first established, I thought that I would really deal with you after the society started its activities. I thought that the person who came today would be another friend of Elhaisen."
Harold: ...
Oh, so in your eyes, senior Kavi and I are just [a friend of Elhaisen] and [another friend of Elhaisen].
"You are really confident," Harold said after carefully considering Siraj's words, "I thought I could only really deal with you after I learned how to carry out activities."
Siraj chuckled and slapped some of his research documents on the table: "This is the result of my research these days, take a look."
"We can look at these later. Let me ask you a few questions first," Harold said calmly on the surface, but he couldn't help laughing in his heart.
He couldn't wait to hear how Siraj would answer his crappy interview questions. He wondered if Siraj would break down on the spot after hearing his questions.
"That's not necessary. I made some assumptions about the relationship between the Red King, the Flower God, and the Great Kindness Tree King," Siraj said as he flipped open his file in front of Harold. "You only need to take a look to know that I am the person you need. Going through other procedures is a waste of time."
"That sounds good," Harold nodded approvingly, "but don't worry. I'll give you some time to express yourself after I finish asking you questions."
As long as you can avoid being defeated by then.
Siraj was very upset that his proud research report was ignored. He believed that anyone who had read his carefully written report would know that he was on a different level from other scholars who wanted to join the society, and that participating in the same interview with other scholars was an insult to him.
But thinking that as long as he joined this society, he could study the same topic as Elhaisen, and he could make Elhaisen look at him differently, he could only suppress his dissatisfaction and said, "Go ahead and ask."
Harold: "What's your specialty?"
Siraj: "Linguistic anthropology, cultural anthropology, participated in the theoretical research on the merits and demerits of the evolutionary school under the name of the teacher of the cause theory school. The more influential papers published in recent years include: "On the superiority and limitations of the concept of "human race", "Looking at the power structure and evolution of Xumi from the establishment of the Faith Council"..."
not bad.
Harold thought silently. Siraj was a little crazy, but he was still capable and was definitely at the top level in the current Order of the Lords.
Then, Harold asked, "Why do you want to join our society?"
Siraj: "My major is anthropology, and studying the rise and fall of the Red King Dynasty is consistent with my major. I think participating in this project will add icing on the cake to my resume."
Harold nodded.
Except for the fact that the term "icing on the cake" was used a bit too arrogantly, the rest of the answers were really flawless. Harold felt that he should think more highly of Siraj.
At this time, Siraj had revealed a smile like a winner. He pushed the documents he had prepared to Harold's hand again: "Can we discuss some academic issues now? As 'companions'."
"Wait, there is one last question," Harold glanced at the thick stack of documents at hand. He knew that what Siraj wrote must be valuable.
But whether this value is worth the trouble he puts into the society remains to be discussed.
"A sheep has four legs. How many legs do ten sheep have?" asked Harold.
This is when it’s time to use junk interview questions.
