"Scores are being counted, please wait... Candidates can click "Start" again to take the third test."
When Shen Qian finished hanging up and opened his eyes, he heard the prompt sound.
Was it successful just once?
Shen Qian sighed.
...As expected of you, System.
He exited the simulation scene and waited for a few seconds before a line of data appeared on the display screen.
"...
Candidate name: Shen Qian
Exam results:
Explosive force:999.99 Kg
Instant speed: 2.1 s/100 meters
..."
Speed was no longer important. Shen Qian was just staring at the 999.99Kg line of data.
There is no correction note, which shows that Shen Qian’s explosive power is exactly 999.99Kg, which is extremely accurate.
There is no need to do it a third time.
Shen Qian clicked "End Exam". After the results were uploaded, he got out of the simulator, nodded to the invigilators sitting behind the glass, and then left the examination room.
Behind the glass window, the two officials from the Department of Education were a little strange.
"Did this classmate unexpectedly test for the third time?"
"I have an impression of him. He was in the news yesterday. He seems to be a top genius in Jingcheng. He is indeed very strong, but...his results this second time are not as good as the first time. It's a bit weird to give up like this."
"This number is quite interesting. It is exactly 999.99Kg. There is no need to correct it."
The two of them didn't know the difference and were joking to themselves.
At this time, the old man from the Ministry of Education in the middle finally came out of his trance and glanced at the two of them with a stern look.
"The exam data of this classmate Shen Qian will be encrypted at the highest level, and the exam video will be sealed immediately, waiting for someone to extract it!"
"In addition, if there is even the slightest rumor about what you just saw, you will be charged with espionage and will not be able to appeal!"
The two people who were joking were stunned. When the old man repeated it again, they realized that the other party was telling the truth. They couldn't help but look at each other, but they didn't dare to ask more questions and quickly nodded in agreement.
……
When Shen Qian walked out of the examination room, it was the setting sun reflecting the warmest time of the day. He squinted his eyes and couldn't help but stretch.
"Shen Qian!"
As the shouts rang out, Gu Zifang and Ouyang Fei ran over from a short distance away.
"Why are you here?" Shen Qian was startled.
"We finished the exam in the morning and came here specially to wait for you."
Ouyang Fei smiled and said, "I see that your expression is very relaxed. It seems that you are performing well?"
"Is it capped?" Gu Zifang asked expectantly.
"You know there is a cap?" Shen Qian said in surprise.
Although Gu Zifang is the strongest person among the candidates in Jingcheng besides himself, his full performance is probably the peak of a beginning martial artist, and 1000kg is already the threshold for a middle martial artist, and Gu Zifang will probably not be able to reach it.
"You don't know yet. It has been spread in the morning. After all, it is not a confidential matter. There are people in Xicheng and Mingcheng who have reached the limit. There are also senior students in the online forum who have said this. People who don't know now probably don't There are too many." Gu Zifang said.
"That's it." Under the expectant gazes of the two people, Shen Qian nodded, "I should be...what about you?"
"I was just a little bit short of 900. It's a pity for Zifang. The best score in the three times was 996, just a little bit short."
When they heard that Shen Qian was also capped, both of them breathed a sigh of relief, and Ouyang Fei smiled.
"Let's talk as we walk. If we go late, we probably won't have a seat." Gu Zifang glanced at the time and said to the two of them.
"Where to go?" Shen Qian asked in confusion.
"Have you forgotten that I said I would treat you to a big dinner at Jiutian Pavilion?" Gu Zifang rolled her eyes, "Of course, the others are AA, I'll treat you to your share."
"Ah, it's today. Isn't it appropriate to go out and hang out before the exam is over?" Shen Qian was very surprised.
"The physical fitness test has been completed, and the remaining two items are not something that can be improvised. What's left of this meal?"
Gu Zifang sighed and said, "Besides, we are not just here to enjoy ourselves. This meal will definitely be good for your will test tomorrow, believe me!"
Shen Qian's curiosity was aroused, and he nodded immediately. Then he saw the two standing still, just looking at him, and couldn't help but be startled, "Why don't you leave?"
"Waiting for your flying sword!"
Ouyang Fei said excitedly, "That video has been posted online. It's so cool... Well, if you don't watch the second half."
Seeing Gu Zifang looking at him expectantly, Shen Qian said angrily, "What are you thinking, if I have the ability, I would still vomit all over the floor? The flying sword belongs to my senior brother, not mine. Just take a taxi."
"Senior brother?"
Ouyang Fei and Gu Zifang were both a little disappointed when they heard this, but then they thought about it. It would be too exaggerated for Shen Qian to really be able to control a flying sword. How could it be possible below the mountains and seas?
As for the senior brother Shen Qian was talking about, seeing that he had no intention of saying more, the two of them didn't ask any more questions.
The three of them immediately hailed a taxi on the side of the road and went straight to Jiutian Pavilion.
……
Chen Peng and others who came one after another met at the entrance of Jiutian Pavilion, and everyone walked into Jiutian Pavilion together.
Jiutian Pavilion has a simple name, but it is actually a modern hotel with a height of 33 floors.
Except for the ancient garden and the archway at the door, everything else is irrelevant.
Entering the magnificent lobby, Shen Qian saw on the wall the suffix logo also found in Kyushu Budokan.
The restaurant of Jiutian Pavilion is on the top floor. When ten people took the elevator up, a dignified welcome lady wearing a cheongsam came over on her own initiative.
"Good afternoon, distinguished guests, do you have an appointment?"
Gu Zifang felt something was wrong as soon as she heard these words. She took a look through the porch and found that it was packed with people. She suddenly asked in disappointment, "Is there no room?"
Seeing the apologetic expression on the waiter's face, Ouyang Fei shook his head and said, "It's just a matter of luck. How about changing to another restaurant?"
"I can do it."
It doesn’t matter to Shen Qian.
Gu Zifang originally wanted to wait for a table, but when she saw both of them saying this, she gave up the idea. Just as everyone turned around to leave, the sound of high heels hitting the ground suddenly came from behind.
Before they could react, a gust of fragrance surged, and a woman wearing a professional skirt and a face full of mature charm appeared in front of everyone.
"Excuse me, are you Mr. Shen Qian?"
The woman, who was panting rapidly because she was walking so fast, looked at Shen Qian with a smile.
"It's me, you?" Shen Qian asked doubtfully.
"Hello Mr. Shen, I am the manager of Jiutian Pavilion Restaurant. Just call me Yun Lan. If you want to dine, our Jiutian Pavilion has reserved seats for black card members. Please come with me."
After the woman finished speaking, she leaned forward and stretched out her hand.
Black card member?
Gu Zifang and others looked at Shen Qian strangely, and Shen Qian himself was also stunned, but then he thought of something and nodded calmly.
No matter what, sit down first and then talk.
The interior decoration of Jiutian Pavilion can only be said to be normal and fancy, but it is indeed packed with seats. Shen Qian casually glanced at the dishes on other people's tables, and sure enough, there was no dish he had ever seen before.
Yun Lan led a group of people across the small bridge and flowing water, then took another flight of stairs to the second floor.
The second floor is a corridor-style structure with only ten tables placed on all sides. The decoration is even more exquisite, and at first glance, it is still mostly empty.
I guess this is the exclusive area mentioned by Manager Yunlan.
After leading everyone to sit down at a perfect seat by the window overlooking the hall, Yun Lan went to prepare refreshments. Ouyang Fei and Gu Zifang, who had been holding back for a long time, finally caught the opportunity to have an attack.
"Shen Qian, since you are a black card member of Jiutian Pavilion, why didn't you tell me earlier that you meant to make me laugh?" Gu Zifang complained.
"I'm more curious, how come you, someone who has never been to a provincial capital, have a black card from Jiutian Pavilion?" Ouyang Fei complained.
Chen Peng and others are also curious.
"I didn't know beforehand, maybe it was because of this?"
Shen Qian thought for a while and took out the black diamond membership card of the Kyushu Martial Arts Hall.
"It's definitely not because of this." Chen Peng shook his head when he saw it, "We basically all have this kind of membership card that comes with recharging. Besides, although Jiuzhou Martial Arts Hall and Jiutian Pavilion are theoretically the industries of the same group, the business of the two There’s no interaction.”
"Then I don't know." Shen Qian shook his head.
At this time, Yun Lan left and returned. After she had served the exquisite pastries and before ordering, Gu Zifang, who was really puzzled, asked: "Where did Shen Qian get the black card?"
"Sorry, this is customer privacy." Yun Lan smiled and shook her head.
"Then tell me the head office?" Shen Qian couldn't help but be curious.
"Wait a moment." Yun Lan nodded as expected. She took out her Pad and made some inquiries before smiling: "Mr. Shen, your Jiutian Group black card membership was applied for two months ago. It is a 'special invitation'. More specifically, I don’t know why.”
Two months ago...
Shen Qian thought about it for a while and suddenly understood.
Isn't that the time when Marquis Jingcheng accepted him as a disciple?
Although this matter is very secretive, it is not traceable. At least Zhu Deyong guessed some of it.
"You mean, Shen Qian's black card does not belong to Jiutian Pavilion, but to your entire Jiutian Group?" The sensitive Ouyang Fei was shocked.
Jiutian Pavilion is just a subsidiary company of Jiutian Group, and Jiutian Group is the real behemoth.
The two of them have broader knowledge. If Ouyang Fei and Gu Zifang were just surprised before, they are a little shocked now.
"Shen Qian, it seems there is something hidden from us." Gu Zifang said with a half-smile.
In response to Ouyang Fei and Gu Zifang's inquiries, Shen Qian chose to respond vaguely.
It's not that he has to hide it, but I heard the third senior brother say before that although the teacher doesn't shy away from anything, he doesn't like the disciples to act under his banner. This can be seen from the low-key style of the third senior brother.
Liu Changqing is considered an alternative, but he was still locked up at the bottom of the tower for ten days after causing a big fuss in the martial arts bureau. It is said that it was even more exaggerated before. After seven years of entry, the sixth brother spent about four years at the bottom of the tower...
Gu Zifang and Ouyang Fei didn't hesitate for long, and quickly took the menu and started ordering.
As Jiutian Pavilion's special dishes were served one after another, Shen Qian's eyes were opened.
"Dragon Deshui" uses the meat of deep-sea mutated sharks.
"Qin Se He Ming" is just two Pipi shrimps, but each one is as big as Shen Qian's eight-pack abs.
"Twelve Palaces", steaks of twelve kinds of zodiac spirit beasts that are comparable to the strength of novice warriors.
As for what Gu Zifang said is good for the will test, it is a signature dish of Jiutian Pavilion called "Immortal Guiding the Way", which is essentially a soup dish with a price tag.
Gu Zifang smiled and said that if it weren't for AA, no one would be able to afford it.
When the "Fairy Guide" was served, Shen Qian looked at the small cup that each person got and couldn't help but be speechless.
"That's it?"
"What do you think?" Gu Zifang blinked, "You don't even know what ingredients are used to make the soup. It's limited. If it weren't for your black card, you might not be able to eat it even if you come in today."
Shen Qian picked up the menu and looked at it carefully, and then said in surprise: "Dragon rhino tendon? Mountain and sea realm?"
Shen Qian was really shocked, this was a monster in the realm of mountains and seas!
No wonder such a small amount is close to thirty W.
"Long Xi is known for his strong mental power, so after drinking this soup, after drinking it, the ears will be clear and the eyesight will be clear, and the will will be strengthened. Isn't it very good for tomorrow's exam?" Ouyang Fei said with a smile.
"No wonder it's called 'Immortal Guiding the Way'." Shen Qian nodded in agreement.
"Look carefully at the first and second floors. Most of them are young people. I guess many of them are candidates from this year." Gu Zifang pursed her lips.
Shen Qian had actually noticed it just now, and it was only now that he suddenly realized that everyone was here for this "immortal guide".
"It's just that the taste is just average, not as good as this chestnut juice." Shen Qian smacked his lips and commented.
"What chestnut? It's called 'cherry'. It's said that it was a rare fruit before the disaster!" Gu Zifang corrected.
"That is Uncle Kunhu's new disciple this year, Geng Qianqiu!" Ouyang Fei suddenly pointed to the opposite side.
Shen Qian looked sideways and saw that on the opposite side of the corridor on the second floor, at another seat with a great view, there was also a table of young people. Sitting at the head table was a young man with a shaved head and sharp eyebrows.< /p>
As if aware of Shen Qian's gaze, the young man looked up and saw that Shen Qian was also startled. Then he chuckled and raised his glass to Shen Qian.
Shen Qian also raised his glass politely.
"How does he make you feel?" Ouyang Fei asked Shen Qian curiously.
"Well, he is not as good as Wang Shuo." Shen Qian said honestly.
"How do you know?" Gu Zifang raised an eyebrow.
"Feel it."
Shen Qian smiled and didn't know how to explain it.
The result of strong mental power is that everyone will form a vague feedback in his consciousness.
It's like the kind of breath that belongs only to mountains and seas, which Shen Qian can easily capture.
And as he became more familiar with the control of this kind of perception, he had reached the point where he could initially judge the general strength of each person.
Anyway, in his perception, Geng Qianqiu is inferior to Wang Shuo.
"Not only people from Tongcheng, but also those two perverts from Mingcheng and Li Jiaqi from Xicheng. It's really lively tonight."
Another boy at the same table went to the toilet and came back to report what he had seen.
"It seems that everyone already knew that there would be 'Longxi Soup' today, but we didn't book a table in advance. Fortunately, Shen Qian was here." Gu Zifang said angrily.
"What sound?"
Everyone was having a lively meal when Ouyang Fei suddenly raised his head and said in shock.
Shen Qian also heard it.
It was a sound similar to the chirping of birds, but it was extremely pleasant. When everyone looked up, the sound was still approaching.
Not only Shen Qian's table heard this, but most of the people dining in Jiutian Pavilion raised their heads in surprise.
The wind blew suddenly, and in the midst of everyone's astonished gazes, a bird with pure white feathers, which looked like a dove but was more agile, fluttered its wings and flew in from the window of Jiutian Pavilion. It brought colorful lights along the way and flew straight to I found the table where Tongcheng candidates were sitting.
"The spirit pigeon reported?" Gu Zifang asked in surprise, "What happened?"
Shen Qian also looked over curiously. The so-called "Spirit Pigeon Messenger" is a luxurious way of delivering letters in the postal industry. It is expensive, but it is quite impressive. It is usually used to show off. Shen Qian is also in Jingcheng. I've seen it a few times.
Geng Qianqiu was also a little surprised. He let the dove rest on his shoulder, and then took off the golden pages tied to the dove's legs.
The golden page ignites at the touch of a finger and turns into a rainbow curtain in mid-air, which can be clearly seen by everyone in the restaurant.
"Dear Mr. Geng Qianqiu, 'Qianxing Club' extends its most sincere greetings to you and formally invites you to join our club with a view to exchanging resources and growing together. If you do not agree to this invitation, you can come to Huaxia Martial Arts within seven days Cancellation can be processed at any outlet of the association.
Sincerely, Chinese Martial Arts Association, Qianxing Society."
After a brief silence, there was an uproar in the restaurant.
"It's an invitation from Qianxing Club!"
"Is it so early this year?"
"It's amazing. I received an invitation from Qianxing Society before the college entrance examination was over. I am worthy of being the disciple that Uncle Kunhu has chosen..."
Everyone was marveling and talking, Ouyang Fei and others were also sighing, but Shen Qian, who was relatively unsophisticated, didn't know why.
"What is Thousand Star Club?"
Gu Zifang had completely believed that Shen Qian was a grassroots riser, so it was not surprising that he didn't know anything about it, so he quickly explained.
Shen Qian suddenly realized.
The so-called Qianxing Club refers to a loose social organization affiliated with the Chinese Martial Arts Association, but in fact it has little relationship with the Chinese Martial Arts Association.
Thousand Stars Society has a long history. It was founded ninety years ago. It was originally initiated by a group of top geniuses from the four major universities and invited famous geniuses from universities across the country to join.
At its peak, the Qianxing Club had thousands of top geniuses, so it became very famous. It was once known as the "No. 1 Youth Club", "The Cradle of the Strong in Mountains and Seas", etc.
The main reason is that Shen Qian didn't pay attention to these things before, otherwise he wouldn't have even heard of his name.
After a hundred years of development, the influence of Qianxing Club has grown stronger, and contemporary teenagers are proud to join it.
Qianxing Club has also gradually formed strict rules. It does not admit non-geniuses. The main targets are freshmen and some high school graduates who performed exceptionally well in the college entrance examination.
"In short, although you will automatically leave the club after graduating from college, the love accumulated from generation to generation, you can imagine the power behind this club."
Finally, Gu Zifang made the following summary.
"Oh, so Geng Qianqiu is one of those 'some outstanding senior high school graduates'."
Shen Qian nodded suddenly.
"It's really strange. In previous years, Qianxing Society would wait until the college entrance examination was over before sending out invitations. This year, it started right after finishing the first subject..."
Ouyang Fei touched his chin, thoughtfully.
"I guess they should have obtained some people's physical fitness test results in advance through some channels. In fact, physical fitness can already be seen a lot, so there is nothing surprising."
Gu Zifang stared at the glorious Geng Qianqiu with her chin clenched, and she couldn't help but feel a little envious.
"No need to guess."
At this time, a girl named Meng Yun at the same table raised her bracelet, "I just checked, there is a former member of Qianxing Club who is now the director of the Ministry of Education!"
Everyone suddenly realized, Chen Peng said with a smile: "I think this invitation must not be over yet. Some of us must also receive the invitation, right?"
Everyone subconsciously looked at Shen Qian, the most promising person.
