"Today, I helped you reject three more requests to meet. These three companies are all well-known people in Shangnan City. It's a pity..."
"How do they know my big boss? It's not that I haven't seen them today, but that I can't see them. After all, I still have to take the college entrance examination and work hard to get into a good university, haha~~"
Lin Chujun smiled like a fox in the video, and her eyes were watery.
"My big boss, you are so mature in normal things, why do you pay so much attention to this kind of exam?"
"Whatever identity you have, the top colleges are not going to compete for it, right?"
"How about it, do you want me to recommend you to come to Longmu Academy, so that I can become your senior sister?"
When she said this, Lin Chujun was as shy as a little girl, with two red clouds on her face.
Fortunately, there was no one around Lin Chujun, otherwise he would have shouted out in surprise, how could this shy Xiaojiabiyu look be the flower of the Shangnan Lin family!
However, the atmosphere that Lin Chujun tried so hard to create was completely destroyed by Lu Zetan's watery answer.
Lu Ze saw through this woman's disguise from the first word she spoke.
For non-work matters, this woman would say ten sentences, and I would be able to believe half of one sentence at most. The other half of the sentence was given for the sake of doing things for herself.
"On that note, you can give up your fantasy now."
Lu Ze looked at the video and said in a calm tone, "I can answer your first question."
Lin Chujun put away his shy look without interest, and his eyes lit up again when he heard this.
"Yes, why?" Women are all born in the year of cats, and their curiosity will not diminish even after another era.
"Life should have a sense of ritual."
"Do you believe this?" Lin Chujun's cheeks were twitching.
"I didn't believe it in the last century, but I believe it now." Lu Ze replied firmly, looking up and looking outside as he spoke, "I'll get out of the car first, and I have to take the exam for acquired skills. You've worked hard these days.
.”
Lin Chujun held up his chin with one hand, looked at Lu Ze's expression lazily and intoxicated, and waved with the other hand, "Serve the boss! Come on, boss, bye."
When the call was hung up, Lin Chujun, who was sitting alone in the study, suddenly smiled and murmured softly.
"You are so good at flirting with girls at such a young age. I don't know how many girls I will be able to seduce when I get to college."
"What should I do, boss? I'm becoming more and more attracted to you."
Lin Chujun bit her thumb gently, and her face became even more rosy than before.
…
…
When arriving at the station in Azure District, Lu Ze changed seats on the special light rail bound for the underground network center.
The train runs every 5 minutes, from 6 a.m. to 23 p.m. Passengers need to verify their identity. It is free and lasts for one day.
Just like him, there were many young boys and girls on the platform who were full of youthful vitality, but everyone was quite quiet, with serious faces and a little nervousness.
Other urban residents who got off the bus looked over from time to time, and kind-hearted citizens even sent encouragement and blessings to these college entrance examination students before leaving.
The special light rail stopped, and a row of soldiers with guns and ammunition came out first, followed by staff in uniforms.
"Students who are participating in this year's college entrance examination, please line up to board the bus in an orderly manner, and please consciously identify your identity and authority."
Seeing the familiar face after a hundred years, Lu Ze's eyes were a little dazed, then he smiled and shook his head, and followed the team leisurely.
The guy in front of me was obviously a little nervous.
Because he was half a head taller than the opponent, Lu Ze could not only see the opponent's slightly trembling body, but also clearly see the constant biting movements under the opponent's cheeks.
When it was this guy's turn to enter the light rail, he stood at the entrance with blank eyes.
One second passed, two seconds...
Three seconds...
Um?
The staff waiting to show the bracelet and press the palm prints was stunned, thinking that this little guy could be distracted even at this time, and immediately reminded him:
"Classmate...classmate?"
"arrive!"
The guy trembled and stood up straight, his body straight.
"Tell the instructor, I'm here to take a test!"
The nervous students in the back burst into laughter.
The seriousness on the face of the staff member could not be restrained, and he said with a smile: "What instructor, today is a theoretical test. Please show your ID bracelet and press your palmprint for identification!"
"Oh oh oh, I'm sorry."
The thin guy swallowed his saliva and replied with a sad face: "I am really too captain."
Ha ha ha ha!
The girls next to me who could hold it back just now finally couldn't hold it back any longer.
"Okay, okay, hurry up and get in the car."
"oh."
The somewhat thin student lowered his head and hurriedly entered after identifying himself.
When it was Lu Ze's turn, the staff member didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Considering the guy he just met, he reminded him again.
"Hello classmate, please identify yourself."
Lu Zewen smiled back and pressed his palm casually.
"Identification passed."
…
Enter the carriage.
This is not a standing car like a subway, but a special light rail with individual seats.
"Classmate, Nihao."
A slightly accented and nervous voice sounded from the side. The thin boy showed a friendly smile, "My name is Zhang Sheng, from Shangnan High School. I'm sorry for delaying you in getting on the bus. I'm really sorry."
sorry."
Lu Ze understood in his heart. Looking at the other party's unusually sincere and anxious expression, he smiled and nodded:
"It doesn't matter. What a coincidence. I'm also from Shangnan High School. My name is Lu Ze."
"Ah!?" Zhang Sheng almost jumped up from his seat. He looked at Lu Ze in surprise and stammered: "You are the one who went to the principal's office that day!"
Lu Ze was happy. It was rare for someone to chat and relax on the road, so he nodded and said, "Yes, I disturbed everyone that day."
"No, you know, you were really cool that day. If I were in front of so many people, I might not even be able to speak properly."
"Targeted practice can reduce the fear of the unknown."
"Then I'll give it a try after the exam, by the way..."
Once Zhang Sheng started talking, he never stopped talking, and his thirst for knowledge even overwhelmed Lin Chujun.
The light rail car suddenly entered darkness, and an exclamation of surprise instantly filled the carriage.
Then some people began to find that their bracelets could not connect to the Internet and could not be located.
"Are we going down?"
"No, why do I feel like walking back?"
"I feel like we are still moving forward. This should be a tunnel and it will be over soon."
"So nervous."
Whispers continued to reach his ears. Zhang Sheng clasped his hands tightly on his sides, his eyes widened, and he did not dare to say a word.
Lu Ze fell into a rare silence, and he knew the situation very clearly.
The scenes quickly passing by on both sides are actually light and shadow simulated in reverse.
This is indeed a tunnel, but not one, but a special loop composed of six tunnels connected together.
The final direction is not the established west, but a huge building that has deviated 45 degrees and goes deep into the ground.
…
Each free city has a huge urban network center, which is protected underground by thick reinforced concrete and multiple layers of composite armor.
This building is full of science fiction. Except for the staff of special institutions, the only chance in their lives for others to enter is on the day of Xia Guo's college entrance examination.
In order to ensure the absolute safety of candidates and the absolute fairness of the examination room, Dr. Bai Shiwu proposed the plan of building a high-resistance underground center after proposing the Liberty City plan.
Network Center is part of this solution.
There are up to 100,000 network ports and supporting access equipment.
Above-ground and underground supporting facilities have also been built around the urban network center.
In Dr. Bai Shiwu's plan, everything is prepared for the desperate situation that human beings may face.
When humans on Earth were unable to resist the foggy beasts on the frontal battlefield, they began to implement the "Winter Plan", using nuclear bombs for large-scale bombing and moving the population underground.
Of course, this plan is too far-fetched for the lunar base and new home on Mars that have completed ecological construction and atmospheric reconstruction.
The elites and powerful people who have completed space immigration do not need to consider these fantasy things.
There are still 4 billion humans left on Earth.
Future history has proven that these 4 billion people are the ones who truly determine the destiny of mankind.
At this stage, the major alliances, countries, and organizations on earth have a certain consensus on their views on the future.
In an era of high industrialization, facing the constant invasion of fog and giant beasts, population has always been the most precious resource.
The college entrance examination, which has evolved many times, is an examination truly designed to select talents.
On June 7th and 8th, all major free cities in Xia Kingdom will open their doors. Under the protection of military and police personnel and the guidance of professionals, candidates will be brought into this mysterious and huge city.
Inside the building.
…
But in just 10 minutes, the special light rail stopped.
The students looked at the dark surroundings, and the whispers became more intense.
Suddenly, light suddenly shone all around.
Only then did everyone realize that the car was actually in a completely transparent ring-shaped tunnel. In the field of vision, there was a metallic silver color full of science fiction colors.
Under the platform is a building nearly a hundred meters high, with only dense openings on each floor that resemble small airplane windows.
Above the head, there is actually a simulated sun.
"Where is...?" Zhang Sheng murmured.
"Welcome to the examination room, students, this is your exclusive venue today. Here you can guarantee absolute safety and absolute quietness."
"I wish everyone a triumphant return!"
A middle-aged man wearing a gray uniform and brown glasses stood on a suspended platform with a smile, looking from far to near.
The students poured out one after another, looking around curiously, before being escorted away by the staff who had been waiting for a long time.
Zhang Sheng and Lu Ze waved goodbye and began to search for their locations according to the admission information.
17th floor…
Area d...
49 seats.
After Zhang Sheng sat down with his head down and concentrated, he was stunned to see Lu Ze waving to him.
"What a coincidence, my seat number is 50."
Zhang Sheng, who was originally nervous, somehow calmed down at this moment. He looked at Lu Ze and clenched his fist: "Come on!"
"come on."
Lu Ze smiled and sat in the virtual cabin.
Recognize the bracelet and palm prints again and activate the instrument.
Put down the glass shield, activate the VR helmet, and wear it.
In the blink of an eye, my vision went dark...
When I opened my "eyes" again, my eyes had turned into a super giant classroom with no edges visible.
The ceiling is white, the floor is white, along with the tables and chairs and the clothes of everyone in sight...
All are white.
There is a distance of 2 meters between each seat and the surrounding area.
Raising your head, there are drones suspended above your head, one distributed every 15 meters.
The silence around me felt eerie.
Lu Ze knew that those white figures were the projections of each candidate, but they were processed by special VR equipment. Everyone's voice was isolated and their field of view was fixed to the same picture.
"The exam is divided into two sessions in the morning and afternoon."
"Morning, math, physics, biology."
"Afternoon, chemistry, general history of combat."
"At noon, all candidates will have a unified meal delivery service and can rest in the virtual cabin. This building is the crystallization of wisdom and has a powerful fresh air system and filtration system."
"All you have to do is give your best!"
"The exam begins!"
A powerful male voice sounded above this endless space.
A test paper and the corresponding virtual pen and paper appeared out of thin air in front of Lu Ze.
Picking up the pen barrel, which felt extremely real to the touch, the words he just said during the video call with Lin Chujun flashed through his mind.
【Life should have a sense of ritual.】
He didn't say the last part of the sentence.
Life should have a sense of ritual, because it will make you live in ordinary and trivial days...
Find a poetic life, find the glimmer of light to move on, and the courage not to give in.
"I never thought I would be able to experience this day again."
A smile appeared on Lu Ze's lips.
Raise your wrist and put down your pen.
This is the first answer sheet in life.
It is a passport to a wonderful future, and it is also a ceremony to say goodbye to the past.
At first glance, Lu Ze writes carelessly, but if you look closely, you can see that on the tip of Lu Ze's pen, beautiful symbols and neat numbers appear one by one, gradually getting longer and longer, intertwined into a silent but rhythmic song.
.
…
The three exams add up to three hours, which goes by in a blink of an eye.
During the lunch break, Zhang Sheng's eyes were very bright, and it could be seen that he still felt quite accomplished in answering the theory.
Unable to resist, he asked Lu Ze about the situation, because he saw that Lu Ze's expression was also very relaxed.
"not bad."
Although Lu Ze tried very hard to lower his tone, Zhang Sheng still felt shocked.
This master who became famous at the end of his third year of high school was so confident in the theory test, which also aroused the competitive spirit of Zhang Sheng, who has always had excellent grades.
He was inspired to fight!
He will show off his talents in the two exams in the afternoon, and then carry this sense of victory to attack tomorrow's practical exam.
Those first-class A-level colleges are waving to him.
When the exam ends this afternoon, be sure to leave a contact information with Mr. Lu.
Of course, there are also ideas that show some of their own advantages and strengths.
However, he has never figured it out in his life...
When the exam is over and the papers are handed in, everyone's VR link is disconnected and they are forcibly awakened.
