Chapter 156 Driving License Test
In fact, the mercenaries have a complicated attitude towards the scholars of the House of Lords. On the one hand, they admire and envy these scholars. Scholars can understand things that they cannot understand and can talk about any topic. Sometimes they can understand some of it, but most of the time, they think that what these scholars say seems to make sense.
On the other hand, they felt that these scholars looked like weaklings. One of them could beat a dozen people. If they were sent into the desert, they would definitely not survive as well as themselves. Thinking of this, they suddenly felt a sense of superiority.
Therefore, when facing scholars, they always have a contradictory mentality of both respect and disdain. However, the one who hired Dixia was the legendary scholar who fought an entire team alone. They threw away their usual little superiority and were left with only admiration and envy in their hearts.
"Dixia, what research are you doing recently? Are you still working on pollen?" Hisham asked.
Dixia: "Yes, my employer seems to want to study it for more than five years - why are you asking this?"
"The price of lily pollen has been very high recently, and many people have suddenly started buying it." Hisham scratched the back of his head, "We just want to know where we can get lily pollen."
"If we can sell a small bottle, it will be enough for our monthly income," Harun said enviously.
"Don't even think about it. Hua Qianqian is very difficult to deal with. Do you want to risk your life?!"
Dixia scolded the two and said, "The pollen yield of the cheating flower is very low. Even if you catch 20 cheating flowers and lock them up for a month, you still can't get a small bottle of pollen, so don't have those crooked ideas."
The mercenaries who heard this all looked a little disappointed. Dixia comforted them and said, "Now that we have textbooks, our lives will gradually get better, and the children will have more choices in the future."
Everyone thought about it and realized that it was true. There was no need to hang themselves over the matter of deceiving Hua Pollen. What they had to do now was to get as many books as possible, which would fundamentally improve their situation.
Hisham: "Dixia, I really think you are getting smarter now. You talk just like the old man from the mercenary group next door, very old-fashioned."
Dixia couldn't help but hold her forehead again: What the hell is going on?!
But Hisham's statement was unanimously recognized by other mercenaries.
They hope to get an equivalent return for the money they spend. They think that Dixia has become different through learning, and use this to encourage themselves.
Being praised by everyone, Dixia coughed lightly, took out the advance of 3 million mercenary funds and gave it to the leader of the Blazing Beast Hunter:
"This is my salary for next month, please help me exchange it all for food and books,"
Then she turned to Harun and Hisham and said:
"We don't know exactly how thick a book is. What if it has 10,000 pages? How long will it take you to print it like this?
I will ask my employer for another month's salary in advance tomorrow. We will quote a higher amount, especially for enlightenment books. Children will definitely want to have a picture book of their own."
Then she told everyone what Haroldt said, hoping that the residents in the desert would no longer blindly grow vegetables or abuse fertilizers.
"This is recorded in the documents of the House of Fatwas. Otherwise, the oasis will sooner or later become a desert," said Dixia.
"Is there such a thing?"
The mercenaries were all surprised, but no one doubted the authenticity of the matter, so they all said they would take the information back to the desert.
By this Tuesday, the House of Representatives announced the new traffic law, and two pages of notices were posted on billboards outside various buildings in Xumi City.
One page contains the specific content of the law, and the other page contains the time for the first driver's license test: Wednesday at 1 p.m., test precautions and test site regulations, as well as test subjects.
The exam content includes traffic laws, tricycle driving, and emergency response. Each item is worth 100 points, and a pass is required to score above 90 points.
Because there are a limited number of tricycles for the exam and each candidate is given half an hour to test drive, only 300 test places are available for the first exam, with 30 people being tested each day.
This news caused a sensation as soon as it spread. Those who had seen the new traffic law in advance through connections secretly congratulated themselves that they had already memorized the new law thoroughly and would have no problem with the theoretical exam.
I didn’t memorize them in advance, but after looking at the exam start time on the announcement, I was confident that I could memorize all these things before the exam started, so I planned to grab a spot.
The three hundred places were quickly snapped up, and the person in charge of the exam began to sort out the information. When he saw the information of a few people, he rubbed his eyes in surprise, somewhat unbelievable.
After comparing the identity information of the reference personnel, he picked up the four lists and said to Kawi, who came to visit the examination room and test the performance of the test vehicle in order to follow up on the research:
"Mr. Kavi, look at these people!"
“…Huh? What’s wrong? Is there something wrong with these people?” Kavi stopped what he was doing, took the paper, and looked at it seriously.
"Ah?! How come the residents of Omos Port and Kawanyi came to Xumi City to take the exam?
Even if they get a license, they can’t ride that far…” Kavi said in shock.
"This shows that Mr. Kavi's topic is very popular. Mr. Kavi must not know how many people crowded in at the registration site this afternoon.
The person in charge of registration said that he didn’t dare to say that the registration was full, because anyone who didn’t register could be drowned by a spit from someone present.”
The examiner, intent on currying favor with the young and promising scholar in front of him, deliberately used a very exaggerated tone of voice.
After hearing this, Kavi lowered his head and muttered to himself: "... So many people came? Is it possible that 300 places are still too few?"
I should quickly apply to the academy and ask the sage to open up more places according to the rules, Kavi thought.
Harold, who had been in the research institute for two days, only learned the news when he communicated with Kavi using communication equipment in the evening.
When he received the message from Kavi, he and Dishia were cutting the four newly acquired fruits.
After the indicator light on the communication device came on, he handed the fifteen seeds he had just taken out to Dishia to deal with, and then he walked out of the laboratory to chat with Kavi.
Kavi informed him about the new law and the three-wheeler license test.
"I didn't expect the first thing we saw was a driver's license test!" Kawi said in a bright tone.
"But the official completion of the points in the city is coming soon. The construction team was doing the finishing work last week. I estimate that by the beginning of next month at the latest, we will be able to see residents riding their bikes on the road!"
"That scene is really exciting. I must take some photos on the road when the time comes." Haroldt said with a smile, half leaning against the wall.
Dixia, who was sitting on the wall between them, was nervously staring at the thermometer to adjust the water temperature for blanching the seeds.
