Chapter 23 Aftermath
Chapter 23 Aftermath
"Do you know why Principal Xie of your Shanghai No. 1 Middle School asked you to enter a secret realm for training in advance, even if it is just a lowest-level secret realm?" Seeing Russell's doubts, Jiang Wang did not answer directly, but raised a new question.
Russell originally thought it was for the joint entrance exam of the four schools in Ning'an District, but Jiang Wang's reaction didn't seem to be the case. He couldn't help but answer in confusion: "Isn't it for the joint entrance exam of the four schools in Ning'an District later?"
Hearing Russell's answer, Jiang Wang laughed softly: "Yes, you are right, but you are only half right."
"More importantly, it is for the secret realm that can be entered after winning the joint entrance exam of the four schools."
Secret realm? Is there anything special about this secret realm? Just as Russell was about to ask about it, Jiang Wang continued, "This secret realm is just an ordinary bronze-level secret realm."
"But for high school students like you, the bronze-level secret realm is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
Russell scratched his head when he heard this. Even if that was the case, it shouldn't be taken so seriously.
Jiang Wang looked at Russell at this time. If the other party had not saved his daughter and showed such extraordinary talent, he would not have said so much to a high school student.
As if seeing through Russell's inner thoughts, Jiang Wang smiled and said, "Once you enter the bronze-level secret realm, you will have the opportunity to climb up in advance, and you will also have some confidence in the Jiang Province unified examination at the end of this year."
Generally, most of the selected senior high school students are at the Iron level, and only a small number of students from good families and good talents will reach the Bronze level before entering university.
"Jiang Province Unified Examination?" Russell couldn't help but ask the question. After hearing this term, he searched his memory but couldn't find a corresponding explanation.
"That's right, the Jiang Province Unified Examination." Since Jiang Wang had already said it, he naturally would not continue to be a riddler, but explained: "The Jiang Province Unified Examination was only held this year. Students who perform well in the unified examination can be admitted to higher education institutions in Daming in advance."
Russell suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Jiang Wang reminded him to pay attention to this bronze-level secret realm.
After all, even if Shanghai No. 1 Middle School did not win, Jiang Nanxi could still rely on Jiang Wang to obtain future resources.
But Russell is not so lucky. As an orphan, he has to rely on himself every step of the way.
However, why is the unified examination for Jiangxi Province held only this year? And as far as I can remember, the original Begging Spirit Society was not so unscrupulous.
Is there something wrong with the Ming Dynasty?
Russell pondered silently in his heart, but then he suppressed these doubts in his heart. After all, this was too far away from him.
Seeing that Russell had understood what he meant, Jiang Wang smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Come on, Russell, I'm optimistic about you."
Jiang Wang's words were not just a compliment; he really had high hopes for Russell. After all, when he was at the Iron level, the highest quality cards he produced were gold, and it took more than half a year to produce them.
Unlike Russell, who just gathered all the materials yesterday and made a black iron-level red card today.
"Thank you Uncle Jiang, I will try my best." Russell did not become arrogant when he heard Jiang Wang's encouragement. After all, he was able to create Kaneki by standing on the shoulders of giants.
And I'll have to count on Kubo and Kishimoto for more protection in the future.
While Russell and Jiang Wang were talking, several association vehicles with flashing red and blue lights had arrived at the Xingfuyuan community.
A young man who was very familiar to Russell got out of the car.
Xiao Yifei is a junior student in the Card Making Department of Shanghai University.
"Brother Xiao, why are you here?" Russell was a little surprised when he saw the person coming.
Xiao Yifei looked at Russell for a few times before recognizing who he was: "Oh, it's you, Xiao Luo."
Then he sighed again: "Oh, there is no way, I have to come for the internship arranged by the school." Basically, the third and fourth year students of the card-making department of Daming University will go out for internships. Some find them by themselves, and some are arranged by the school.
Xiao Yifei doesn't want to come out for an internship. Isn't it comfortable to stay in school and enjoy the air conditioning and play games?
Why do people have to work to survive?
Jiang Wang then said, "Xiao Xiao, it turns out that you and Xiao Luo know each other. That makes things easier."
Xiao Yifei only then noticed Jiang Wang standing next to Russell and was shocked: "Director Jiang, why are you here?"
As a gold-level card maker, Jiang Wang can be considered the backbone of a city, so it is natural that he will hold a position in the association.
"Xiao Luo is a classmate of my daughter. I happened to send him back today because of something, and ended up running into the scum of the Begging Spirit Society." Jiang looked at Xiao Yifei and told him the confession that he and Russell had agreed upon before.
Xiao Yifei was stunned when he heard this, thinking that when he answered the call, it was clearly only Xiao Luo who was talking on the other end of the line.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but ask: "Didn't the phone call say that Xiao Luo met him alone?"
Halfway through his words, Xiao Yifei saw Jiang Wang's smiling face and instantly changed his words: "Director Jiang did a good job. Everyone can punish the scum of the Qiling Society."
Xiao Yifei is just lazy, not stupid. With Jiang Wang's endorsement, as long as he is sure that the dead are from the Qiling Society, he will naturally not dig into the matter.
After a moment of silence, Xiao Yifei tentatively said, "Then Director Jiang, would it be convenient for you to go back with us and record what happened?"
Jiang Wanglai was here, so he would definitely not refuse this request. He turned to Russell and said, "Xiao Luo, I'm afraid you can't live in this place anymore after I destroy it. You'd better find another place to live."
Russell understood what Jiang Wang was saying. He was reminding himself not to live in the Happy Home Community anymore. Even if Jiang Wang could help him fool the association, there were so many people around today that it was hard to say whether this place was safe or not.
So he nodded slightly: "I understand, Uncle Jiang, I will go find a new house later."
Seeing that Russell understood what he meant, Jiang Wang said no more and sat directly in the back driver's seat of Xiao Yifei's car.
At this time, Russell hesitated and asked, "Brother Xiao, I wonder how Aunt Xu next door is doing?"
Because Russell and Jiang Wang didn't have any healing cards, Aunt Xu lay on the ground until the people from the Card Master Association arrived and were carried away.
"Don't worry, our people have checked on that auntie. She just broke a few bones and fainted. She's not in danger of life." Xiao Yifei saw what Russell was thinking and comforted him.
When Russell heard that Aunt Xu was not seriously injured, he couldn't help but feel relieved. After all, Aunt Xu had suffered an unexpected disaster today.
"Then, Xiao Luo, we'll leave first." Seeing that the scene had been handled, Xiao Yifei said hello to Russell and led his men away from the Xingfuyuan community.
Generally, the association will reimburse the damage caused by illegal card makers like this, so Russell doesn't have to pay out of his own pocket.
Returning to his old and run-down home, Russell looked at the mess in his house and sighed silently.
He had only been here for about half a month, but he was already being targeted by a dangerous organization. He felt that his life was bleak.
However, the most urgent task right now is to find a new residence. I definitely cannot live in the Xingfuyuan community anymore.
