Chapter 74 Opening Ceremony
Chapter 74 Opening Ceremony
At the hotel entrance, Russell got out of the car with a dark face.
How could he not know what the driver meant?
But he was right about one thing.
The Ming Dynasty is indeed a pill.
The longer Russell has been in this world, the more he can feel this.
It’s just that if the sky falls, there will be someone taller to hold it up, and it has nothing to do with him at the moment.
Just then, Russell met Lin Yue at the hotel entrance.
Seeing the other person sweating profusely, Russell guessed that he must have gone out for a walk.
Seeing Russell, Lin Yue's eyes lit up and he came over immediately: "Brother Luo, you're back."
Russell nodded slightly, and then saw that Lin Yue seemed to be smelling something.
The next moment, Lin Yue asked shyly, "Brother Luo, you smell like that. Did you really go to Yichunyuan?"
Just when Russell was about to speak to defend his innocence, he heard Lin Yue continue: "Brother Luo, can you tell me in detail what Yichun Courtyard looks like?"
Hearing this, Russell turned his head and stared at Lin Yue, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
You are such a good guy, Lin Yue with thick eyebrows and big eyes. I didn’t expect you to be this kind of person!
He immediately said angrily: "I didn't go, I got this smell from helping an old lady cross the street."
Seeing Lin Yue's obviously disbelieving expression, Russell was too lazy to continue explaining and went straight back to his room.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it is the day for the Jiangxi Province Unified Examination to begin.
Since this exam is open to the entire Jiangxi Province, even if there are not many registered card makers in each high school, the number of people gathered together at this time is not small.
Although it is called an exam, it is actually more like a competition like the Yingcai Cup.
But this was held by the Ming Dynasty court.
In Russell's opinion, it is more reasonable to put students into the secret realm to hunt monsters and score them.
Just to accommodate so many students, the secret realm must be of a very high size.
The larger the secret realm, the more dangerous it is.
It is impossible for the Association to let most of the students who are still at the Black Iron level go in and die.
This time, the unified examination of Jiangxi Province is divided into preliminary round, final round and knockout round.
The preliminary round is based on a points system. More than 128 students are divided into groups, and the first in each group can advance to the main competition.
Students like Russell, who are already registered bronze-level card makers in the association, skipped the preliminaries and entered the main competition directly.
In the main competition, since there are players who skipped the previous round, each group is divided into four to five people and a round-robin competition is held.
A win counts as three points. Although ties rarely occur, just in case, a tie counts as one point. The loser naturally gets no points.
If there is a tie, one final round will be played to determine the winner.
After the finals, only 32 students remained in the Jiangxi Province unified examination.
Thirty-two students will compete in an elimination match to determine the final winner.
However, students who did not make it to the knockout round don’t have to worry.
Because teachers from universities will be observing the entire Jiangxi Province unified examination.
Therefore, even if you don’t get a high ranking, as long as you perform well, you will have the opportunity to get early admission.
It’s just that the college has chosen you.
On the contrary, if a high ranking is achieved, it is up to the students to choose the university.
The competition system was simple. Since Russell did not need to participate in the preliminaries, he went to the players' special viewing seats after checking in.
At this time, there were already a few students sitting sparsely in the audience.
Russell's acquaintance Kong Cong was naturally also here.
"Lord Luo, long time no see." Seeing Russell, Kong Cong was the first to greet him.
Although he still wanted to surpass Russell in his heart, he had no opinion about Russell himself.
What's more, it was Russell who saved his life last time at Jincai Credit.
"Long time no see." Russell nodded slightly as a greeting and sat down next to him.
There are factions within any force.
Like now, he and Kong Cong are both from Shanghai, so they are naturally on the same side. So it is not surprising that they sit together.
It’s just that the talented students from other cities nearby are a little confused.
After all, in their opinion, Kong Cong must be a bronze-level card maker like them since he can sit here.
But now I have so much respect for Russell.
Then there are only two possibilities, either Russell has a powerful background, or Russell's strength is terrifying.
Students who can reach the bronze level in just three months are not stupid, so they naturally won’t think that Russell is just for show.
After all, being able to sit here means that Russell is at least a bronze-level card maker.
After the little episode, the opening ceremony naturally came.
It is called an opening ceremony, but in fact it is just the leader’s speech.
Since this is the first time that the Jiangxi Province unified examination is being organized, all parties attach great importance to it.
An official of the small court in Nandu.
Leadership of the Association.
Leaders at the director level and above in major universities.
major media.
There are also representatives from some large groups.
The lineup is quite full.
However, this also means that even if there is no reward for the Jiangxi Province Unified Examination itself, after achieving a good ranking, investment and contact from various forces in secret will definitely be inevitable.
Russell was listening to his leader's speech boredly, wondering when the meeting would officially begin.
“This year, many young talents have emerged in our province.”
Along with these words, the image of Russell and his companions in the spectator seats instantly appeared on the big screen in the stadium.
The boys tensed their bodies.
After all, there are many big shots watching them right now.
Russell was not nervous, after all, he was a traitor in the Qi Ling Society.
Could there be anything more exciting than this?
Of course, he would not behave in a maverick manner. He just sat up straight with a blank expression on his face.
At this moment, representatives from various universities were looking through the materials in their hands without communicating with each other.
After all, they can be said to be rivals now. If another family gets a good seedling, they will have one less.
Russell's information is naturally included.
Many university representatives gasped when they saw that Russell was a bronze-level card maker a month and a half ago.
They all drew a red circle on his profile picture.
Although the group representatives had no information in their hands, they were not stupid and immediately told their assistants to write down all the students on the screen.
These are all talented people with great potential. As long as the bet is right, the group's status will naturally rise.
Besides, investing in these geniuses doesn’t cost the group much money. How can it be more than the tribute paid to the association and the court every year?
With a long speech, the opening ceremony finally ended.
Russell couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he couldn't just meditate to kill time, so he could only bite the bullet and listen to the whole thing.
The students around him were very excited.
After all, the content of the speech is basically chicken soup and empty promises.
But Russell said the cake was too big and he couldn't eat it.
Thinking about the rewards given by the association before, if he hadn't worked part-time in the Qiling Association, his development would definitely not be as smooth as it is now.
Moreover, the reward was only given by the association, and the Ming court did not show any expression at all.
Originally Russell thought that Ming Dynasty was completely controlled by the association, but after seeing the opening ceremony today.
The Ming Dynasty court also has a loud voice.
Before that, Russell had not been told anything. He did not believe that there was no corruption among them.
