There is still an hour before the trial officially starts. Within this hour, Lin Zheng and the others need to select an assistant from the fifth family, a huge family, and then participate in the trial with him!
However, that is to say, although I was full of confidence when talking to the old city lord before, there are so many children of the fifth family, and it really makes Lin Zheng and the others a little confused if they really want to choose! Although the old city lord gave Lin Zheng
They recommended some people, but after Lin Zheng and the others secretly observed them, they eliminated them! It’s not that the people recommended by the old city lord are not good enough, it’s just based on their observed strength and ability to do things, the people recommended by the old city lord
The children are still very outstanding, but, to put it more vaguely, they are not generous enough. They may be able to do very well in a certain aspect, but when it comes to truly coordinating the overall situation, they may not be able to handle it, and the long-term wealthy family
The arrogant character developed in life, well, Lin Zheng really can't get along with them!
"Ha——!" After reading the last disciple recommended by the old city, Yang Qi let out a long sigh, and then said a little depressed: "Isn't there anyone who looks more reliable? I've seen them before.
TV dramas, novels, etc., don’t they all have one or two buried talents hidden in the lower classes?”
Everyone couldn't laugh or cry for a while. The next moment, Lin Zheng reached out and hit Yang Qi on the head, "You know it's TV dramas and novels. How can there be so many dramatic things in reality? After all, encounters are still relatively rare and individual phenomena.
, Generally speaking, outstanding ability is directly related to the environment in which the target lives and the education and guidance received. Therefore, for the children at the bottom, we should not waste time. There may be good talents, but we
You may not be able to find it before the trials start!”
"But now we don't have much time left!" Xiao Mo frowned and said, "In about twenty minutes, the first part of the selection will begin. Before that, we can find a suitable partner.
Well?"
"Just find someone who is honest and obedient!"
Yang Qi's words made Lin Zheng laugh and cry, "We don't know what the content of the selection competition is. If the contestants' abilities need to be tested, do you think a random person can handle it?"
"
"Then what do you think we should do?!" Yang Qi looked at Lin Zheng with an unhappy look, "We don't have much time! Really, you didn't come here earlier to choose one!"
"Then I'm sorry, right?"
"It's good to know you were wrong!"
"Go! You're still squeaking!" After bumping Yang Qi angrily, Lin Zheng said: "There is not much time left, and we really don't have that much time to choose carefully. At this time, we
Believe in metaphysics to a certain extent!"
"metaphysics?!"
Seeing the puzzled expressions on everyone's faces, Lin Zheng smiled and nodded, "Yes, metaphysics!" After saying that, Lin Zheng opened a form, which densely recorded all the members of the fifth family.
The children of the family who are qualified to participate in the selection of the city lord are also marked with each child's academic status, strength, and job held by the fifth family.
Lin Zheng is not the only one who has this form. In fact, everyone who comes to Taotie City, whether they are players or residents and tourists, has it on hand! To put it simply, the current City Lord Selection Competition is no different from horse racing. This is to buy horses.
In the past, you had to let horse bettors know what is going on with your horse! So, at the end of the list, there is another data marked, which is the number of supporters. At this time, the top few participating
The number of supporters of the winner has exceeded six figures. Seeing the support rate, everyone exclaimed, feeling that the final winner should stand out from these few people!
But look at the bottom of the table... Everyone broke into sweat. Sure enough, it was somewhat different from horse racing. Although these children at the bottom were also qualified to run, their conditions were so poor that they had no supporters at all.
It’s such a long line, all of them are 0-egg supporters!
After looking at the list for a long time, Liuli stared at Lin Zheng and asked, "So, what is the metaphysical method you mentioned about the magic stick?!"
After hearing Liu Li's words, Lin Zheng pointed to the list and said: "Well, first of all, let's take a look at these..." After saying that, Lin Zheng pointed to a member of the list of lower-level disciples, and everyone followed his lead.
When I looked at the position pointed at, it was like, well - it's just a very common name! Wait, this person actually has supporters, well, although the number of these supporters is less than 10!
"Then this, this, and this..." Lin Zheng pointed out the names of more than a dozen people on the list. What these people have in common is that they are from the lower class, and they all have certain supporters.
There are not many of them as much as possible, and the largest one only has 17 people.
After making additional tables of the information of these people, Lin Zheng said: "Can you see it? Judging from the current situation, being able to gain support from others in this situation is enough to show that these people still have a certain personality charm.
, what’s rare is, look at this…”
Lin Zheng pointed to the academic ability of these people, "They all graduated from the Fifth Royal Academy of Taotie City, and their strength is pretty good, with the worst being nearly rank seven. Being able to achieve such results at a low level is enough to show that,
These people are still working very hard, and their talents are also quite outstanding! In addition, they are still very young and have no definite characteristics. Even if their abilities are insufficient in some aspects, they can still make achievements through future study.
For change and progress, if it were me, I would prefer to select a candidate from among these people for training!"
Everyone nodded after hearing this. A group of young people who are willing to work hard and have enough talent. Their future possibilities are naturally stronger than those of young people who have already formed. In addition, they are from the lower class of the family and have the support of the lower class clan members.
If they succeed in becoming the successors of the new city lord in the future, it will also be of great help in coordinating the entire fifth family!
"But although they all look very good, there is only one candidate for City Lord in the end. We don't have much time. If we want to examine so many people in such a short time, it is obviously impossible to do it. So, at this time, we need a little
My blessing from metaphysics!" As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Zheng peeled off all the names on the list and turned them into pieces of paper!
Looking at these pieces of paper, everyone who came back to their senses was immediately speechless. After Guinevere's forehead veins appeared, she stared at Lin Zheng and said: "Is the method you mentioned just drawing lots?!"
"That's right!" Lin Zheng said with a smile on his face, "otherwise, do you have a better way?!"
"Drawing lots, you still talk so mysteriously, how can you make people not angry?!" Lilith said angrily.
But Lin Zheng said proudly: "It's true that it's a lottery, but this lottery also pays attention to metaphysics!" After that, Lin Zheng folded all the pieces of paper in half, folded them all together, and mailed them as attachments.
Get out!
"Where did you throw your stuff?"
"Xiaomeng's place!" After saying that, Lin Zheng turned on the communicator and contacted Xiaomeng. Soon, Xiaomeng's smiling face popped up on the screen. It looked like he was eating very happily, and the corners of his mouth were full of food.
Wiping up the sauce made Lin Zheng and the others dumbfounded for a while!
"Xiaomeng! Mouth!" Lilith said in a funny voice, "Girls, please pay attention to your image and wipe it clean quickly!"
When Xiaomeng heard this, he directly grabbed his cloak and wiped it. After finishing it, he shouted with a smile: "Brother Shengun!"
"Yes!" Lin Zheng smiled and nodded, "Did everyone have fun?"
As soon as they finished speaking, Ye Lan and You Ruo also squeezed their faces: "Happy!"
These silly girls! But seeing their happy looks, Lin Zheng and the others felt that all their worries disappeared at once. It was great. These girls, sometimes they really envy the silly girls' attitude towards life!
Holding back his laughter, Lin Zheng said: "It's good to be happy, so let's continue playing! I don't have enough money!"
"Okay, Brother Shengun!" Xiaomeng nodded obediently, and suddenly asked nicely: "Brother Shengun, what did you send to me?"
"I'll tell you later!" Lin Zheng said with a mysterious face, "Now you open the email first, and then pick out one piece of paper from the attachment. It can only be one piece! When you're done, open it and show it to us.
!”
"Oh!" After responding, Xiaomeng started to operate according to Lin Zheng's instructions. Under the gaze of Lin Zheng and the others, Xiaomeng held a dozen folded pieces of paper in his left hand and frowned for a while.
She, a stupid girl, figured out at this time that her decision was very important!
After hesitating for a few seconds, Xiaomeng closed his eyes, and with a "hey" sound, he reached out and grabbed a piece of paper. Without opening his eyes, he opened the paper and showed it in front of Lin Zheng and the others! "...
…This is it!”
Lin Zheng and the others looked at the piece of paper with their eyes wide open, "Fifth Qinglan", this is the candidate selected by Xiaomeng! Although it was drawn by lots in the end, no matter what, at least now there is finally one
A clear auxiliary object, now that there is not much time left, everyone can't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Brother Shengun, are you okay?!" Xiaomeng asked with her eyes still closed.
Hearing this, Lin Zheng and the others, who came back to their senses, immediately laughed, "Okay! You can open your eyes!"
As soon as the words fell, Xiaomeng quickly opened her eyes, and then the three stupid girls immediately gathered around the piece of paper and looked at it, "Fifth Qinglan?" After chanting the name of the piece of paper, Xiaomeng couldn't help but feel good, "God.
Brother Gun, what is Fifth Qinglan?"
"I know!" Before Lin Zheng could explain, Ye Lan said with a very smart expression: "These pieces of paper from my brother-in-law must be used for divination! Fifth Qinglan also said that the weather in five days will be
It’s going to be very sunny!”
"Is that so, Brother Shengun?"
"Is this..." Lin Zheng and others couldn't laugh or cry for a while, "That's pretty much what it means! Okay! This is the only thing for now. If I need your help later, I will call you again, so keep playing!"
"Oh——!" Xiaomeng and others responded in unison, "Goodbye, Brother Shengun, goodbye everyone!"
After finishing the call with Xiaomeng, looking back, Lin Zheng said: "Well, the goal has been decided, let's go meet this Fifth Qinglan!"
"Do you know where they are?!" Yang Qi stared at Lin Zheng suspiciously and asked. As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Zheng immediately looked confident and said loudly: "I don't know!"
Fortunately, before Yang Qi got angry, Lin Zheng smiled and said: "But the old city lord must know, you can ask him!"
So under the guidance of the old city lord, Lin Zheng and the others quickly found the place where Fifth Qinglan lived. The candidate chosen by Lin Zheng and the others lived in a remote courtyard of the Fifth Family. This place
It was also too remote. Even though the old city lord had provided them with a route map, Lin Zheng and the others still spent a lot of effort to find this courtyard.
Fortunately, although the place is remote, it is the fifth Royal Garden that has been carefully laid out. Standing at the entrance of the courtyard, you can appreciate the elegant style of this courtyard. Compared with the high-end gardens in the Jiangnan area, it is much more elegant. It is definitely called
It’s not a situation of being bullied! So, seeing this scene, Yang Qi still muttered, this script is wrong!
"Go! What nonsense are you talking about!?" Lin Zheng said funnyly, "Okay, we don't have much time, let's go in and look for someone! I hope the person is still in the house."
"Then hurry up! We don't have much time!" After that, Yang Qi was about to rush into the yard, but just as he was about to leave, a figure walked out of the garden.
It was a very simple-looking young man with gentle and delicate eyebrows. He was wearing a blue shirt, carrying a brown suitcase on his shoulder and a basket on his back. His hair was combed very neatly and tied into a shape with a wooden hairpin.
bun.
Seeing Lin Zheng and others appearing in front of him, the young man couldn't help but look surprised. You must know that this is the inner courtyard of the fifth house, and outsiders cannot easily come in! After coming back to his senses, the young man hurriedly rushed
Lin Zheng and the others cupped their hands and said: "Dear distinguished guests, please be polite!" If you are not from the fifth family, you can come here. Needless to say, you can only be the distinguished guests of the fifth family!
Looking at the young man giving the gift, Lin Zheng and the others showed a faint smile. The first impression is very important, and for now, the young man in front of them gave them a very good first impression, which was different from those arrogant senior officials.
Children are completely different things!
At that moment, Lin Zheng said to the young man: "You're welcome! We are here to find a person named Wu Qinglan. It is said that he lives here. Do you know where he is?"
Hearing this, the young man's expression was stunned. After frowning slightly, he said cautiously: "I am the fifth Qinglan, but I don't know what your distinguished guests have to say?"
Sure enough, it was the person they were looking for! Although they had expected it, Lin Zheng and the others were still a little happy after getting the confirmation from the other party.
After grinning, Lin Zheng said straight to the point: "The horse racing competition for the City Lord of Taotie City is about to begin. Your name is also on the list of contestants, so you are also qualified to compete for the City Lord! But look at how you are dressed..."
After saying that, Lin Zheng glanced down at Fifth Qinglan, "It doesn't seem like you are planning to participate in the trials?"
After hearing this, Qinglan's eyes showed a look of surprise, and then she laughed cheerfully and said: "No! Sir, you are wrong, I am preparing to participate in the selection competition! After all, there are everyone supporting me behind the scenes, I can't let it down.
Even if they were eliminated in the first round due to their good intentions, it would be better to do nothing!"
You don't play according to the routine! Looking at Qinglan with a smile on his face, Lin Zheng and others were slightly stunned. After coming back to their senses, Lin Zheng asked: "Then are you going to participate in the competition dressed like this?
Why do you look like you went out to collect medicine?"
"Well, sir, you guessed it right! I am indeed planning to go out to collect herbs! But there doesn't seem to be any conflict between collecting herbs and participating in the competition, right sir?"
Lin Zheng couldn't laugh or cry for a while, "I really don't know whether it's better to say whether you have a positive attitude or a negative attitude!" He shook his head for a while, and then suddenly said to Qinglan with a serious expression: "To be honest, Qinglan, this time we
I came here to help you become the champion of this trial, so Qinglan, from now on, you'd better adjust your mentality. We are not participating in the competition for a participation award. If you want to win, we will win the final victory.
!”
Now it was Qinglan's turn to be stunned. He never expected that Lin Zheng and the others came here specifically to assist him. This was wrong! After coming back to his senses, he said politely: "Everyone is willing to assist Qinglan."
Lan, Qinglan is very happy! However, there are countless outstanding disciples of the clan, Qinglan is only an insignificant member of the clan, and there is no hope of winning at all. If you choose to assist Qinglan, I am afraid that you will be disappointed in the end.
Got it!"
"Listening to what you said before, you don't sound like a person who belittles yourself, Qinglan!" Lin Zheng said to Qinglan with a smile on his face, "This game has not started yet. No one knows what the content is. How can you
How do you know that you have no hope of winning?!"
Qinglan smiled bitterly after hearing this, and said helplessly: "Sir, self-confidence and self-knowledge are two different things. Qinglan knows her own conditions. As for the content of the selection that the family will arrange, although it is not clear, the general direction, Qinglan
Lan can guess a little bit, and with Qinglan’s conditions..."
Before Qinglan could finish speaking, Lin Zheng snatched his words and said: "When estimating conditions, you have to count the people who support you, so that you can make a relatively correct assessment!" Zai Qinglan was astonished.
Under his gaze, Lin Zheng smiled confidently: "How about it? Believe in us once? Maybe the final championship really belongs to you?!"
